I live with the Lord God [Quick Transmigration]

Song Han took the box and opened it immediately, and a faint sandalwood fragrance spread in the air instantly.This smell is much lighter than normal incense, so even if you don't like sandalwood fragrance, you won't find it annoying.

And inside the wooden box are neatly placed four pieces of carved square ink with silver strokes, on which are engraved the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.This ink looks similar to the normal carved square ink on the market, but the faint sandalwood fragrance it emits caught the attention of the three of them.

"This smell..." Zhao Mingxu reacted the fastest, reached out to pick up a piece of ink and smelled it: "It really comes from the ink."

"Really?"

Song Han and Zhou Chengye also became interested, and each picked up a piece of ink and looked at it.

"Shao Yan, is the smell on your ink temporary or always there?" Although Zhou Chengye didn't say much, he got the point right away.

"The taste is the special spice added when making the ink, so it's not a problem to keep it for a few years. Not only the ink, but also the written characters will have a fragrance." Shao Yan said.

"The words also have fragrance!" Song Han was quite surprised when he heard that, he turned to Shao Yan and asked, "Can I try?"

"Just try." Shao Yan nodded.

He brought it for them to use. It would be great if this fragrant ink could attract the attention of many students at the literary conference.

There were pens, inks, papers and inkstones on every table in this essay meeting, Song Han directly threw the original ink aside, picked up Shao Yan's fragrant ink and began to grind the ink.

The fragrance contained in the ink diffuses bit by bit with the grinding.Song Han wrote a few words with the newly ground ink, and it was just as Shao Yan said, the written words also had a faint scent of sandalwood, which was very elegant.

"How long can this scent last?" Song Han asked while holding a scented letter.

"It's conservatively estimated that it can last for more than a month. Even if the smell fades in the future, it won't disappear completely, and there will still be some fragrance." Shao Yan said.

"Where did you get this good thing, Shao Yan?" Song Han sighed upon hearing this.

"I got the formula from an ancient book handed down by my family, and I made it at home by myself. I couldn't participate in the literary fair a year ago, so I was busy with it." Shao Yan said.

This scented ink has been made, and there is no way to hide the formula.Besides, Shao Yan also knew the character of these friends of his, and they were all trustworthy people.

"Oh? I wonder how much of this kind of ink you have at Shao Yan?" Zhao Mingxu asked immediately after hearing the words.

"At present, the family has produced such a batch, only a few hundred yuan. I wonder if Ming Xu is interested?" Shao Yan asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Such a good thing is of course intentional, but the quantity is really small. It would be even better if you are willing to sell the recipe to Shao Yan." Zhao Mingxu took the written words from Song Han, carefully After looking at it for a while, he said.

"Let's talk about the formula in detail at another time. Mingxu, are you going to make a decision on the hundreds of pieces of fragrant ink now?" Shao Yan asked directly.

He really wasn't that good at doing business, and he didn't have that much patience for exchanging pleasantries, so he simply asked directly.

"Shao Yan, your temper is really..." Zhao Mingxu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Shao Yan, you have to change your temper, otherwise you will suffer a lot when you enter the officialdom." Zhou Chengye also shook his head.

"My temperament can be changed if I say that I can change it. Besides, I have decided to devote myself to the study of calligraphy and painting, so I will only take part in this session of the imperial examination. If I can get a good name in the exam, I will find an academy to be a teacher. If not, then there is a It is enough to open a private school with a talent and fame. So this officialdom is destined to have nothing to do with me." Shao Yan said.

"Shao Yan, are you serious?" Zhou Chengye asked seriously after hearing the words.

"Naturally." Shao Yan nodded and said, "I've always liked calligraphy and painting, but my family paid too much for my education in the past, and I never dared to mention it. Now that I have this fragrant ink, the family's situation will definitely improve, and I will also be able to do so. Now that my nephews can study, I have the confidence to do what I like."

"That's good too. Your talent in painting and calligraphy has always been very good. It can't be said that you have gained more than in the officialdom." Zhao Mingxu nodded.

"You are still open-minded, Shao Yan, and I can't do it. Even if I know that the officialdom is not clean, but after studying for so many years, I still can't bear to give up just like that." Song Han shook his head and smiled wryly.

"It's just that everyone has their own ambitions." Shao Yan laughed.

He said these words after careful consideration, this is the original will, but he has never told anyone.And with his current level, Shao Yan is still confident that he will pass the Jinshi examination within three years and successfully enter the capital.

And Shao Yan didn't intend to disrupt the other life trajectories of the original body when he didn't plan to get married, so it was necessary to enter the Imperial College to teach, and it was also necessary to become a master of calligraphy and painting.

Only three years later, Shao Yan was only 19 years old. A 19-year-old Jinshi, anyone would call him a young genius.But such a young genius doesn't want to be an official. On the contrary, it would make people feel puzzled if he wants to enter the Imperial College, so he is going to leave an image in advance that he has no intention of officialdom and concentrates on studying calligraphy and painting.

His current level of calligraphy and painting is not much worse than that of some people who have studied for decades, which is enough to prove that he is extremely talented in this area.As long as he gradually reveals himself in the next three years, his choice will become logical by then.

And the most important point is that Shao Yan wants to use his talents in calligraphy and painting to become a disciple of Du Yinan, a famous master of calligraphy and painting in the dynasty, who is also the uncle of the Seventh Prince.

Since he has decided not to marry Miss Fifth of Rong An Hou Mansion, he can only find a way to get in touch with the son of luck.Du Yinan is the most convenient and most suitable way for Shao Yan.

Moreover, Du Yinan's father, Mr. Du, also took in a closed disciple. Du Yinan's junior brother was the brother of Tao Luoyu, one of the sons of luck.

The Seventh Prince Meng Min liked Du Yinan very much since he was a child, and at the same time had a very good relationship with Tao Heya.

With such a master and junior uncle, Shao Yan can easily get close to the Seventh Prince.As for Tao Luoyu, knowing the plot, when the time-traveling girl is about to frame Tao Luoyu, remind Tao Heya a few words, which should save her a lot of trouble.

"Okay, since you have decided, Shao Yan, as a good friend, I can't help you much, but I can still make decisions about the fragrant ink. From now on, all the fragrant ink made by your family will be sent to my bookstore Go sell it, and I'll tell the manager of the bookstore when I get back." Zhao Mingxu drank the tea ceremony.

"No, my brother has to settle accounts clearly, so don't mention consignment or something. If Mingxu thinks this fragrance ink is good, just set a suitable price and accept it." Shao Yan said immediately after hearing the words.

Consignment refers to giving a small amount of money to the store, and then selling the item there. The money earned still belongs to the owner of the item and has nothing to do with the store.

It's okay to do this once or twice. After a long time, even if Zhao Mingxu has no objections, his family will also have objections.Shao Yan planned to do long-term business, so naturally he would not agree to this approach.

Although Zhao Mingxu's family owns a bookstore, he doesn't know much about business matters, so asking him to set a price for Liu Xiangmo is really embarrassing for him.

After struggling for a while, he decided to bring Shao Yanyan to join him and ask him to talk to his elder brother who was in charge of the bookstore.

So because of Liu Xiangmo's matter, Shao Yan's first literary meeting after coming to this world was so futile, and Song Han and Zhou Chengye also went to Zhao's house to join in the fun.

The atmosphere in Zhao Dynasty has always been very open, and there is no rule that the sons of merchants are not allowed to study in the imperial examination, so although the Zhao family devoted themselves to training Zhao Mingxu to study, the business affairs were still handed over to his elder brother Zhao Mingfeng who had little talent in reading.

There are only two men in Zhao's parent's generation, and they have a very good relationship. Of course, this is different from the division of labor between the two. It has a lot to do with the fact that the two do not have any conflict of interest.

Zhao Mingfeng also gave his younger brother a lot of face. After Zhao Mingxu explained his intentions and inspected the Liuxiangmo himself, he directly decided to buy all the Liuxiangmo from the Shao family at a price of three taels of silver.

The general gold-painting and carving ink in the bookstore is more than three taels of silver, and the slightly better ones cost ten taels or eight taels, and there are many tens of taels or hundreds of taels. This is not what Shao Yan is thinking about now. that's it.

The Fragrance Ink brought by Shao Yan is better than ordinary ink. Leaving aside the fragrance, it is only about five taels of silver. If it is paired with this fragrance, the price will double immediately, but it is enough to raise it to a higher level.

It's just that the price of three taels of silver is not high, but the Shao family has no way to sell it. The transportation and sale are all in charge of the Zhao family. The wholesale price is already very good.

So Shao Yan was also very satisfied with this, and directly signed a contract with Zhao Mingfeng, taking a deposit of 500 taels.

After inviting three friends to have a meal at the best restaurant in the county at noon, Shao Yan took a manager of the Zhao family back to the village to collect the remaining Liu Xiangmo.

The county seat is not too far from Shaojia Village. If you drive a carriage, you will arrive in less than half an hour.

When Shao Yan entered the village in the Zhao family's carriage, he saw his little cousin Shao Yi wrapped in a cotton coat sitting at the entrance of the village blowing the cold wind.

"Wu'er, you're back, I'll tell grandpa right away." Seeing Shao Yan come back, he greeted Shao Yan and went straight to the old house.

"Officer Zhao, Mo is in the workshop in the back mountain. Would you like to go to my house to rest for a while, or go to see Mo directly?" After getting off the carriage, Shao Yan said to the steward who came with him.

"Young Master Shao, you are being polite. Let's go and see Mo first. The Eldest Young Master is still waiting at home." Manager Zhao said with a smile.

He is Zhao Mingfeng's confidant, and he has seen Liu Xiangmo before, and he knows that it is a good thing, so he naturally understands that this frail young man in front of him is the God of Wealth, and he has been very respectful along the way.

"This way please, Guanshi Zhao." Shao Yan was not surprised by Guanshi Zhao's words. After saying hello, he led the way to the workshop at the foot of the mountain.

It is said to be a workshop, but it is actually an earthen kiln plus a few simple sheds.The shed was built for drying the ink, and there was only one roof, which was very simple.
