Li Tian quickly calmed Guan Yu down,"
"Don't be impatient. It's too rushed to go now.
First, his eldest brother had just left the capital and returned to Zhuo County. He had not done anything yet.
If she helped him brag, it would be easy for others to look down on her.
In the next few days, I'll finish writing the manuscript of the Record of Filial Piety first.
At least he had a copy of the original manuscript, which would give him more bargaining chips when he met Liu Taichang.
Ju Biejia shouldn't leave the capital in five or six days, we still have time.
It was better to wait until the report of the bandits from Youzhou Province arrived.
When Zhang Chun's rebellion is completely blown up and becomes a matter of common concern for the Imperial Court, we will pay a visit.”
Guan Yu didn't know much about politics, so he listened to Li Tian. He reminded Li Tian,"
"You have to make an appointment at least three days in advance to ask for an audience.
It was not certain if others would see him, but he had to remember to leave some time.”
Li Tian was stunned, but he immediately accepted the offer.
He could only blame himself for having transmigrated for more than a month.
He hadn't gone through the procedure of " letter of introduction to seek an audience with dignitaries ".
The celebrities he had seen before were either coincidences or had emergency military intelligence that allowed him to cut the queue.
As a result, Li Tian was still not used to the normal " slow life " etiquette of visiting dignitaries.
Indeed, he had to leave a few more days.
He let Liu Yan decide if he wanted to see him.
……
That night, Li Tian did some research.
After writing the Record of Filial Piety for a while, he went to sleep.
The next day, after he got up, he took Guan Yu to wander around Luoyang City.
First, he would go to the Imperial College for a stroll.
After strolling around for an entire morning, he didn't gain anything.
When he was tired, Li Tian returned to his residence.
He would rest for a while writing his book, and then go out to play in the afternoon after eating.
Guan Yu saw that he didn't get anything and was afraid of delaying things. He suggested while eating,"
"I think those famous scholars and pedantic scholars are also very noble.
Asking them for information would not delay the matter.
Since we are only looking for someone with neat writing, I think we should go back to the Zhen family's business and ask their manager,
The Zhen family's business in the capital, how could they not recognize a few well-written characters?”
Li Tian put down his chopsticks and felt that Guan Yu was right.
"Yun Chang has a brilliant plan. After dinner, I'll go to the Zhen family's business to ask.”
Li Tian agreed readily.
……
After the meal, Li Tian immediately went to the Zhen family's shop to find the manager.
The manager of the business was called Zhang Liang, the son of the Zhen Family's Head Butler, Zhang Quan.
Seeing that Li Tian had come again, Zhang Liang said politely,"
"What can I do for you, Mr. Li?"
"That batch of paper of yours will take some time to be shipped out.”
Li Tian sat there and said,"
"I'm not here for paper. I just want to ask if you have any carpenters here.”
"Also, do you know any scholars in Beijing who are good at calligraphy?”
Zhang Liang thought for a moment.”
It turned out that there was no concept of calligraphy.
Li Tian cleared his throat." It means that the handwriting is beautiful and neat. It's best if it's similar to the stone scriptures carved at the entrance of the Imperial College."”
"There are a lot of them in the capital. I'll just find one for you."
Li Tian thought for a moment." I don't need Advisor Cai to teach me personally. I just need to learn it well!"”
Zhang Liang thought about it again and quickly made a suggestion.
"If that's the case, there's someone I can recommend!”
"His name is Zhong Yao, and his character is Chang.”
"He studied hard and was at least 90% similar. He often came to me to buy paper.”
"Thank you for your guidance."
Li Tian thanked Zhang Liang for his advice and bought some gifts from the Zhen Family's shop.
He asked for Zhong Yao's residence in the capital and then sent his personal guards to the Zhong family to present him with gifts and invitations.
……
Sure enough, the next day, Li Tian said,
Zhong Yao asked the servant to return the greeting, saying that he would be waiting for him at any time.
The next morning, in a small adobe courtyard located in a remote neighborhood in the south-west of Luoyang City.
A woman in her thirties woke up early to clean up, making the damp and dilapidated house look a little less shabby.
Halfway through the cleaning, she saw that her husband was still sleeping there. She could not help but get angry.
"You're still not getting up, you upright scholar! There was a distinguished guest coming today, and he didn't even prepare!”
It turned out that this woman was Zhong Yao's first wife, Sun Shi.
Zhong Yao's ears were pulled, so he could only pretend to be dignified as he got up.
"Scatter! There were no honored guests. They were just here to discuss business. The last time Lu Zhonglang from the Great General's Estate came as a guest, I didn't see you being so attentive! The salary of a middle-ranking officer is six hundred stones!"
Hearing Zhong Yao's retort, Sun shi became even angrier.
"You still have the nerve to say that? If anything goes wrong, our family won't buy meat for a month!”
Zhong Yao was furious.
I haven't been given a real job. It's not that I'm not talented or knowledgeable, but I don't have the money to buy an official position!
However, his wife's resentment had not been for a year or two.
Zhong Yao could only shut his mouth.
"Hmph, this gossipy woman is jealous of wealth every day. When I get rich, I'll divorce you sooner or later!”
Zhong Yao cursed in his heart, then ignored his wife.
After a while, the guest who had made an appointment came to visit.
The conflict between Zhong Yao and his wife was temporarily put aside, and they hurried out to welcome the guests.
……
Just as Zhong Yao arrived at the door, Li Tian walked in with a smile. He cupped his hands and greeted Zhong Yao,"
"Brother Zhong, this is my first time visiting.”
"I've long heard that Brother Zhong's calligraphy is famous in the Imperial College. I recently dared to write a volume.
I specially ask Brother Zhong to copy it on behalf of me, and I am willing to pay a gold for polishing my pen.”
Then,
Li Tian generously took out an ingot of horseshoe gold.
It was directly placed on the table.
Zhong Yao was slightly shocked!
After all, he was an idle person who only received a basic salary. This was worth a few months of salary.
Li Tian's straightforwardness also made him feel uncomfortable.
