Putting aside the plagiarist Jiang Fan.
After Li Shi Min finished reading, he couldn't help but praise,"Good, good, good, what a good way to worry about the world first and then be happy about the world.”
Li Jing continued,"This essay is definitely a masterpiece. It will be passed down through the ages."”
Yuchi Jingde also chimed in,""Brother Jiang, you're so talented, but why doesn't anyone recognize you?”
Jiang Fan was very calm after hearing the three's praise.
Why?
First of all, he didn't know the true identities of these people.
Secondly, this article was plagiarized from a famous person in the future.
In the end, he already knew that when the article landed, the entire hall was shocked.
Therefore, he was very calm in this situation.
And it was this indifference that instantly raised his status by more than one or two points.
Especially the sentence in the joint article, not to be happy with things, not to be sad with oneself.
Jiang Fan seemed to have vividly expressed this sentence.
It directly made everyone's opinion of him rise by a lot.
As for Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling.
They were both civil officials, especially since their statuses were almost the same.
They could be considered the heads of civil officials.
Therefore, they were more concerned about this article.
"Old Fang, what are you doing? Quickly put it down and return it to brother Jiang." In an instant, Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly spoke, as if telling him not to expose his identity.
Hearing Zhangsun Wuji's words, Fang Xuanling regained some of his rationality and placed the essay on the table.
However, the moment he put it down, the piece of paper with the peerless essay disappeared.
Soon, it landed in Zhangsun Wuji's hands.
Not long after, Zhangsun Wuji's voice sounded in the hall again.
"Good article, good article. What a good line.”
"Brother Jiang, I, Old Sun, am bold enough to ask you for this essay today.”
He finished his sentence.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Especially Fang Xuanling.
His old face was green from holding it in. Just now, he asked me to calm down, and now you're f * cking snatching it away? And he even shamelessly asked for it???
Fang Xuanling immediately shouted,""You old fogey!"
Zhangsun Wuji ignored Fang Xuanling's scolding, as if the word 'shameless' was engraved on his face.
This was because he was already so old. If he were to snatch something in front of a junior, he would obviously be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Fang Xuanling immediately came up with a plan and said,"Brother Jiang, don't fall for this old man's trick. This old man doesn't know anything about writing at all. If this article falls into his hands, it will definitely be a jade pearl covered in dust. So please give Old Fang face and give this article to me!”
After he finished asking, Jiang Fan started to have a headache.
Both of them were rich in his eyes. He couldn't afford to offend either of them.
However, just as he was in a difficult position, Zhangsun Wuji said in a rich and overbearing manner,"Brother Jiang, as long as you're willing to give me flowers, I'm willing to buy twenty jugs of wine.”
"Is this true?" Hearing this, Jiang Fan instantly made a choice and asked excitedly.
"Really?" Zhangsun Wuji answered without hesitation.
"Wait, brother Jiang, I'm willing to buy thirty jugs of wine.”Fang Xuanling couldn't wait any longer when he saw that the other party was actually using money to buy this article. He immediately raised the stakes.
Jiang Fan's eyes lit up when he heard thirty bottles of wine. He shouted,""Alright," she said.
However, before he could finish speaking, Zhangsun Wuji beat him to it.
"Forty jugs of wine."
Fang Xuanling shouted angrily as he pointed at Zhangsun Wuji.""Old man!"
Faced with Fang Xuanling's roar, Zhangsun Wuji started to act like he did not hear or see anything.
"I'll pay fifty pots." Seeing how shameless the other party was, Fang Xuanling knew that logic was useless. He would fight with money then.
"Sixty flasks." Who was Zhangsun Wuji? Although he was not the richest man in the Tang Empire, he was definitely the richest man in Chang 'an. Any problem that could be solved with money would never be a problem.
"Seventy!" Fang Xuanling's veins bulged.
"Eighty." Zhangsun Wuji was calm.
"Ninety." Fang Xuanling's face turned red as if he had reached his limit.
"A hundred pots." Zhangsun Wuji leisurely raised his stakes.
"You!"
"I want to die with you!"
The price had been raised to a hundred pots, which was fifty strings of copper coins. Even the head of the civil officials, Fang Xuanling, would find it difficult to fork out this amount of money. It was not that he could not fork out the money, but if he did, the expenses of his mansion would be greatly reduced. Especially since this old man in front of him would definitely increase the price again. At this rate, who knew when it would end? Therefore, he decided not to increase the price. He immediately cursed and attacked Li Shiming without caring about what he would do.
"Hey, hey, hey, brothers, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I have an idea, I have an idea.”Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Jiang Fan immediately tried to stop them. He didn't want anything to happen to either of them.
"Brother Jiang, don't stop me. I may be old, but I can beat this old man.”Fang Xuanling thought that Jiang Fan was afraid that something would happen to him, so he immediately shouted.
"Old man, with your thin and weak body, you'll fall down with a punch from me. Don't talk big here.”When had Zhangsun Wuji ever been mocked like this? He immediately shouted.
In an instant, the two of them entered a situation where they could not tolerate each other.
For this reason, Jiang Fan could only step forward to stop him. Then, he said earnestly,""Brothers, I know you both like this article, but I wrote this article, and I'm not dead. Can't I write another one? "How about this? I'll make the decision. I'll give this piece to Old Sun for a hundred flasks. The second piece will be given to Old Fang for fifty flasks. What do you think?"??”
When he said this.
Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, but then he felt that it made sense. Adding on the fact that the price was fifty pots cheaper, this was a good deal.
As for Zhangsun Wuji, he was not someone who cared about money. What he wanted was this first manuscript, so he did not intend to argue.
Just like that, Jiang Fan wrote another article in a joyous occasion. Then, he exchanged it for 150 bottles of wine in the name of giving it away.
One pot was 500 copper coins, so 150 pots were 75 strings of copper coins.
After calculating the bill, Jiang Fan couldn't help but shout in his heart,""I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm rich!”
This mentality was completely different from when he wrote the words 'not happy with things, not sad with themselves'!!
