However, if you want to sell calligraphy, you must first be able to afford a pen and paper.

Le Yuancen planned to go to Jiaxing City to find a small job first, and then he could afford a pen and ink.She has never written or drawn on paper, and she still needs to get used to it a little bit.After that, she didn't want to be famous all over the world with a single line, but she could always sell it for a few taels of silver, right?

Just do it.

Le Yuancen immediately dug out the last set of unpatched clothes in the house, which was the whitewashed commoner clothes left by his original father. As a young man, he entered Jiaxing City.Who made it easier for a man in this world to find a job than a woman, which also fits her status as a down-and-out scholar.She looked at the reflection in the water basin, and the expression between her brows could not be seen as a woman disguised as a man.

In fact, Le Yuancen is not worried about being recognized as a woman. She has lived in the body for a long time, and she is a little worried that she will be considered inhuman.It was like when she was walking with her feet, she would suddenly swing her arms naturally, thinking that they were still a pair of wings.Or if your body feels itchy, you will subconsciously want to peck it with your mouth.

Are these like what people would do?Le Yuancen reminded himself that he must get rid of some habits formed in the sculpture.

The next day, when the sky was just getting bright, Le Yuancen took some wild fruits and water bags and walked towards Jiaxing City on foot, hoping to find a reliable job to support himself before he could have a healthy body and look for martial arts secrets.

In the 14th year of Chunxi's reign, Jiaxing City was already full of people. Since the Jingkang Incident 60 or [-] years ago, the imperial court moved south to Lin'an City, and the south of the Yangtze River has been getting richer every day.

Le Yuancen was walking in Jiaxing City. It was not until today when she saw the flow of people coming and going around her that she really felt that she had traveled back to ancient times.

Because her soul was injured, those unimportant memories of her previous life were almost forgotten.

She had also vaguely realized that Shendiao, and the "Nine Yin Manual" mentioned by Shendiao might be related to martial arts novels.However, there are many wonders in the three thousand worlds. Since she came here, she also felt the way of heaven and earth in the carved body. She knew very well that she was actually living here, living in a world that seemed inconsistent with the official history.

Le Yuancen was observing the crowd, and happened to see a team of bodyguards walking, among them there were many Jianghu people traveling with swords and swords, most of them were men, and there were also a few Jianghu women who looked different from ordinary people.

The rivers and lakes may be by her side, but at this moment she is not qualified to step into the rivers and lakes, and she has to seek food and clothing first.

Although Jiaxing City is very prosperous and the sun is about to shine, Le Yuancen ran to 32 shops in the morning, brazenly asking for self-recommendations along the way, but none of the restaurants, inns, and other shops were short of staff.She was about to run out of water in her water bag, but she never had the slightest chance.

This is likely because it is already the end of March, and the peak season for job recruitment after the New Year's Eve has already passed.

At the beginning of February, people will be recruited everywhere, and it will be almost two months now, and there will be no shortage of people.If it is a place like a pharmacy that requires rough professional knowledge of medicinal materials, it is generally not to change the staff, and it takes a few years to recruit novices.

"Go, go, go, don't get in the way of my business here." The shopkeeper of Buzhuang stopped Le Yuancen at the door of the shop like chasing flies, "There is no shortage of manpower in the shop!"

Le Yuan Cen Kai was unable to say a few more words, this is the cloth shop she did not give up and continued to try, but looking at the attitude of the shopkeeper, it was useless to say more.She also saw the sneer on the face of the clerk in the store, and she guessed it was a joke that she was overthinking herself and wanted to compete with him for a job.

Le Yuancen didn't beg for shelter any more, and left with a calm smile on his face, "Then I won't bother you, I wish you a prosperous business."

Seeing Le Yuancen turning away calmly, the shopkeeper of the cloth village felt a little guilty.As soon as I felt guilty, I said a few more words, "I still want to learn how to pretend to be gentle, and the foreman will not take this body to move bricks for others. Anyone can come to the city and want to beg for food. It’s better to join the beggar gang directly.”

Le Yuancen heard the shopkeeper's words clearly, she also saw the disciples of the Beggar Gang in Jiaxing City.They are different from ordinary beggars. They look a little cleaner and have one or two pockets on their bodies.

It's not that Le Yuancen discriminates against the beggars' gang, but joining the beggars' gang is completely inconsistent with her plan. Moreover, once she joins a certain gang, she must abide by its rules. It's not her choice unless she is desperate.

As for the sects other than the beggar gang, Le Yuancen listened to the chatter of the escorts at the big cake shop.

So far, there seems to be no sect suitable for women. The Emei in her vague memory seems to be just a simple mountain.The more famous one is Quanzhen Sect, which was founded by a man named Wang Chongyang on Mount Zhongnan seven or eight years ago.

Le Yuancen asked himself that he used to be the leader of Zhongnan Mountain by carving his body, but when he was carving, he was aloof. At that time, he only cared about practicing in the deep mountains, and he didn't care about someone coming to occupy the top of the mountain.

If it was close at that time, Wang Chongyang, as a person who can establish a sect, should not be too timid, and he should not be scared stupid by the divine eagle.But I don't know what kind of temperament he is, is he afraid of being different from the gods, or will he make friends?

However, it is useless to think about it now, Jiaxing is too far away from Zhongnan Mountain.She would not choose to go to Mount Zhongnan rashly before she had enough money and exercised enough to be suitable for long-distance travel, and who knows what kind of sect Quanzhen Sect is.

Le Yuancen gnawed off a few wild fruits. In the afternoon, she had to continue looking for a job in the city. It took half a day to walk through a half of the shops in the city. Maybe there would be some surprises in the afternoon.

However, in the afternoon, Le Yuancen traveled more than half of Jiaxing City, and the unexpected joy did not come for a long time.

Along the way, she also met scholars who set up small stalls to write letters for them, but the asking price for a letter was not high, excluding the cost of paper and pens, it was only a few dozen copper coins.She quickly figured out why.People with a little literacy do not need to write letters on behalf of them, but those who need to write on behalf of them are mostly low-level people who are not very literate. How many copper coins can they pay?

The scholar who wrote the letter on behalf of him set up a small stall, and also hung a few of his calligraphy and paintings for sale.From the perspective of Le Yuancen's appreciation, the calligraphy and painting are not too bad, but no one cares about them at all.

This situation has unintentionally poured a basin of cold water on Le Yuancen's head. It seems that it is not so easy to make money by selling calligraphy and paintings. I am afraid that the water in it is a bit deep. She may have been too optimistic before, don't waste money Money to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones was lost instead.

Until the sun went down, Le Yuancen still couldn't find a job. She told herself not to be discouraged, it only took a day.But she knew very well in her heart that a day of observation was enough for her to understand that the life of the low-level people in this era is not easy.

It seems that she still has some learning in this era, and insight into the world is all knowledge.

At this time, Le Yuancen had already walked to the side of Liuxiang, Huajie, in the east of the city, and there was a fragrance of powder here.In the afterglow of the setting sun, many shops were about to close, but it was time for brothels to open for business.

She didn't go into this section of Rouge Lane, but turned a corner and walked to another street. Most of the people who came and went there were scholars. There were shops selling pens, ink, paper and inkstones, shops for Wenwan calligraphy and painting, and several bookstores.These two streets are not far from each other, but they correspond to the drama about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies.

The calligraphy and paintings hanging on this street are obviously different from the ones I saw at the stall just now. Let’s not talk about whose calligraphy and painting is better, but when it comes to framing and selling pictures, the calligraphy and paintings hanging at the entrance of the store have already taken up. opportunity.

"My little brother, are you here to apply for the job of transcribing medical books?"

The shopkeeper of Chong Er Bookstore saw Le Yuancen staying at the door of the store for a while, he walked out from behind the desk with a smile, and pointed to the recruitment notice, "Medical books are different from other books. The accompanying pictures are also copied down. If you want to apply for a job, you must not only write good calligraphy, but also draw a good picture, and you need to make a picture on the spot for me to see if you are qualified."

Le Yuancen, of course, saw this recruitment notice, and at first glance, she also felt that she might be very lucky.Medical books, what she wants; wages, what she wants, both can be obtained.

However, is there really a good thing from heaven?It seems that copying books is not popular in this era.She walked all the way, and although she only had a quick glance, she also found that all the books she could see were published. Why did this Zong Er Bookstore recruit people who transcribed medical books?

"Shopkeeper, do you want me to draw now? What should I draw?"

Le Yuan Cen was suspicious, but he didn't want to let go of this opportunity to make money easily.She is so poor that she only has twenty copper coins, and urgently needs a job to support herself. As long as it does not exceed the bottom line in her heart, she will always seize the opportunity to give it a try.

The shopkeeper secretly looked at Le Yuancen, and saw that he was wearing pale washed clothes and a pair of tattered shoes, so he showed an extremely kind smile.He took out a thin book and pointed behind the bamboo curtain on the left, "The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all on the table. Just draw the first page of the meridian diagram. Come, this way please—"

Le Yuancen stepped into Chong Er Bookstore, she glanced at the layout in front of her, no doubt it was a relatively large bookstore.

On the left hand side are rows of bookshelves. The bookshelves are basically spotless, and someone should wipe and clean them regularly.The right side is separated by a half-rolled bamboo curtain, and you can faintly see several desks placed in an orderly manner, each with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which may be convenient for scholars who come here to record something at any time.

Le Yuancen took the meridian book, she saw the shopkeeper's attitude without a trace of arrogance, could it be that reading makes people wise, compared to shopkeepers of other shops, wouldn't the shopkeeper of the bookstore respect clothes first and then others?Or, courtesy to a corporal is because there must be something to ask for.

Even though there was more doubt in her heart, she still sat at the desk behind the bamboo curtain, and saw clearly that the paper on the table was relatively rough.She hasn't written with a brush for a long time, and writing on such paper can reduce the feeling of burning money.After grinding the ink, I first drew turtles to try the hand feel. After drawing five turtles in a row, I felt that it was almost done, so I opened the book of meridian diagrams.

This is a very clear meridian map, divided into whole and part.

The meridian of the human body drawn on the first page of the opening is a middle-aged uncle. He is half naked, except for a piece of cloth tied around his waist to cover his crotch.The person in the painting is not standing in a rigid posture with arms crossed and legs slightly apart, but with one hand on hips, the other hand is smiling and smoothing his beard, and there is a hair crown tied on his head.Each acupuncture point is marked in the picture, and marginal notes are added on the side.

Le Yuancen turned a few more pages. She hadn't seen the meridian diagram at this time. The whole book had front, side and back drawings, and at the end there was a picture of a half-clothed woman. It turned out to be So exhaustive.

Although there is no distinction between men and women in the eyes of doctors, is it possible to let go so much in this age?She always felt weird.

The author has something to say: Basically, it is updated at 00:10 every day, JJ sometimes smokes, and it needs to be swiped a few more times ∑(O_O;)
