Going out to make some money~

Su Chen picked up his writing implements.

Before this, he struggled to make ends meet by selling calligraphy and copying small jobs.

There was no other way; if he tried to do manual labor, people would say he was too thin and weak.

To do any other business, you need capital. He was just a poor scholar; where would he get so much money?

After much deliberation, this was the only job I could do.

At least the Four Treasures of the Study are readily available, and there are still many illiterate people, so there are always jobs like writing letters for others.

"Su Chen, you haven't been here for two days."

"Some trivial matters at home kept me from getting here."

Su Chen exchanged a few pleasantries with his fellow workers who were also trying to make a living, and then set up his stall.

This job of transcribing letters is something that anyone who can read and write can do.

Not only is the competition fierce, but the income is also meager.

If you want to earn more money, you have to think of ways to improve your writing.

Su Chen looked around at his colleagues and then thought about the extra memories that had appeared in his mind.

He then began to write with flowing, powerful strokes on the paper.

[The roc rises with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high.]

With the right setup, soaring to new heights is only a matter of time!

"Beautiful calligraphy!"

What a beautiful poem!

Just as Su Chen finished writing, he heard this heartfelt praise ring in his ears.

Xin Shuo doesn't have many hobbies, but he likes to browse and exchange some cheap trinkets in this market.

I've recently developed an interest in calligraphy and paintings, so I thought I'd come and take a look at this area.

He looked at them for several days, but none of them caught his eye.

He was about to move to another place when he discovered Su Chen's calligraphy.

"Oh, isn't that the young master of the Xin family?"

The Xin family is incredibly wealthy in this city. Which young man is so lucky to have caught their eye with his calligraphy?

The Xin family?

There seems to be a Xin family in the game?

However, the Xin family in the game is just a small, insignificant family, and they are relatively well-behaved. In the game, the Xin family is only mentioned in passing in Moyu Tower's many intelligence reports.

"Is there anything else?"

If I take a liking to you, you'll be well paid for!

Xin Shuo slammed his hand on the table.

There were ten copper coins!

Those around him looked on with envy.

They worked hard all day, but they only earned a dozen or so copper coins.

Su Chen was chosen by the young master of the Xin family, and that's why he received such a large reward!

It's infuriating to compare yourself to others!

Chapter 38 still requires cheating.

"I wonder what kind of words Young Master Xin likes?"

Su Chen was also delighted. No matter how much money he earned in the game, it was not as valuable as these ten copper coins.

At the very least, it will ensure he doesn't go hungry for two days.

"I'm not one to restrict others."

Feel free to do whatever you want.

If both pieces of calligraphy please me, I will buy each one for one hundred coins.

how is it? "

One hundred coins!

Every single character!

The surrounding colleagues were in an uproar, and everyone's eyes were practically glowing with envy as they looked at Su Chen.

The price of those two calligraphy pieces is enough to keep them busy for more than half a month!

How could such a good thing have fallen into the hands of this young upstart!

Su Chen didn't rush to write, but instead looked around.

Everyone around was watching the spectacle, curious about what kind of words he would write.

Su Chen's gaze finally settled on a painting of dense bamboo forest.

Do not heed the sound of rain pattering through the trees; why not chant and stroll leisurely?

[With bamboo staff and straw sandals, I can outrun a horse; who's afraid?]

Let life take its course, like a straw raincoat in the misty rain!

The chilly spring breeze roused me from my drunken stupor; a slight chill settled, but the slanting sunlight on the mountaintop greeted me.

Looking back at the desolate place I came from, I return, where there is neither wind nor rain, neither sunshine nor gloom.

Xin Shuo read the lyrics, his eyes shining.

Not only are the characters written with vigor and strength, but the words themselves are also written with a bold and unrestrained style.

A calm and composed mind brings a sense of peace and tranquility!

The more I look at Xin Shuo, the more I like him.

"I wonder if this poem has a name?"

Xin Shuo looked at Su Chen with anticipation.

"Calming the Waves".

"Calming the Waves?"

Good name!

I really didn't expect that there would be such a master as you hidden in this market.

I want both of these calligraphy pieces!

Xin Shuo didn't give two hundred coins, but instead put down about half a tael of silver.

"Two hundred coins is the payment for the words; the rest is a reward from me."

Xin Shuo's extravagance made his peers around him grit their teeth in envy.

Some were quick-witted and immediately stepped forward to let Xin Shuo see their handwriting.

However, Xin Shuo had already been browsing for several days, and apart from Su Chen, he couldn't stand anyone else's handwriting.

Moreover, most of what they write is just pointless complaining.

It lacks the open-mindedness and composure found in Su Chen's poem.

"Brother, do you have any other skills?"

Could you show me your skills?

If it pleases me, I'd be willing to pay a little more to buy it.

Xin Shuo picked up the poem "Calming the Storm," looked at it from left to right, and was filled with joy.

Then, as if remembering something, she looked at Su Chen with anticipation.

As the saying goes, calligraphy and painting are inseparable.

These days, those who can write well often achieve something in the art of painting.

"Is what you say true, young master?"

Su Chen looked at the half tael of silver on the table and asked a follow-up question.

Given how I used to live, with this money, I probably wouldn't need to leave the house for two months.

However, he was a poor scholar and his body was never very strong.

It would probably cost a lot of money to treat it.

Su Chen naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to earn more money.

"When have I ever broken my promise?"

Just paint with confidence. Whether it pleases you or not, you'll still get your fee for this meticulous painting.

With Xin Shuo's words, Su Chen felt relieved enough to put pen to paper.

As for subject matter, mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects are always good choices.

Su Chen found a bird in his mind and drew a picture of a bird flying up to a branch and gazing into the distance.

If he remembered correctly, this bird belonged to a clan within the game.

Whether this world exists or not is not within his consideration.

"Brother, you are indeed amazing."

With just a few strokes, the birds on the paper come to life and are incredibly lively.

Great!
