"Entering my lovesickness door, you will know that I am lovesick in pain... These words are so deeply rooted in people's hearts."
"This one, this one is not bad either."
Apart from the literati, most of the people who came to watch were women from brothels. They had been waiting for Chen Mu at the door of the bookstore all day long. No matter what the cost, as long as they could exchange Chen Mu for a poem, that would be enough.
But I didn’t expect that the poems would appear in the world before I met him.
Now that Chen Mu can't show up, Zhang Bowen has returned to Bajun, and Chuanzi has become Chen Mu's right-hand man.
At that moment, he walked to the front of the crowd and said: "My prince's talent is well known to the world. In addition to these four calligraphy and paintings, there are also sixteen others. This is the second best thing that the bookstore has launched besides Xue Zhong."
Upon hearing this, the rest of the people immediately started chatting noisily. They thought they were just exhibits, but they didn't expect these authentic works to be put up for sale!
Nowadays, Chen Muben is one of the most popular talents in Longxia, and his poem has long been known to the world.
Not to mention the extremely beautiful poems, this painting is definitely a highlight. The painting style is unique and extremely lifelike. Only Chen Mu in the world can create such paintings. It is impossible for ordinary people to create fakes even if they want to.
These words and paintings can almost be said to be the only ones in the world.
Soon, a very beautiful woman from a brothel suddenly spoke.
"If I buy it, can we regard it as... a poem specially written by King Shuchuan for me?"
This is also what all the brothel girls here want to ask. The purpose of coming here is just to find Chen Mu's lyrics. Fortunately, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a great success. It would be great if it can be solved with money now.
Especially this poem of condolences is so beautiful that it expresses the pain of separation and missing each other. It is very suitable for them.
"You can do it yourself."
As soon as these words were spoken, many prostitutes immediately went crazy.
"How much?"
"How much do I want for those words of lovesickness?"
Kawako waved his hand: "Don't worry, I won't sell it today."
"Why don't you sell it again?"
"Isn't this fun?"
Suddenly, everyone turned from the previous ecstasy to anger.
"After three days, come to the bookstore again. Your Majesty, he said that he may only sell these twenty paintings in this life. The one with the highest price will get it. Don't miss it."
What are the words and paintings? To put it bluntly, it’s a rare thing to live in. It’s just a piece of waste paper, and it’s a bit painful to wipe your butt.
In addition to creating a sense of urgency, this statement may really mean that Chen Mu will not sell these painting words again in the future.
If it is too much, it will be worthless and it will also affect his own reputation.
But for the prostitutes in front of them, this news is undoubtedly a bucket of cold water.
Once the news spread throughout the city in three days, these twenty psalms would have nothing to do with them.
As expected, the news of the auction quickly spread throughout Chang'an City like a hurricane.
It was really a commotion that everyone in the court and the public knew about.
What image does Chen Mu have in the eyes of everyone?
Able to fight in battles to protect his family and country, and able to write pens and express condolences at a low level, he has already become the dream lover of the wealthy ladies in Chang'an.
If I had known that it would be so disturbing to people's hearts, why would I not have known each other in the first place?
Everyone knows that Chen Mu has almost never written a love poem, and now it is heard that these twenty poems are probably Chen Mu's last works in the world. How could these rich ladies not do something?
As for the major brothels, not to mention, there is already an undercurrent surging to prepare money for the auction in three days.
"Kawako, you did a good job today. Here are twenty taels, as a reward from me."
Kawako hurriedly shook his head and refused: "It is Kawako's duty to work for the prince. If the prince really wants to reward Kawazi, when the Chang'an incident is over, can he take Kawako back with him?"
I really didn't expect that this Chuanzi would actually want to go back to Bajun with him.
"It's okay, but why do you..."
Kawako said shyly: "Kawako likes the prince's poems. Instead of continuing to be a prostitute in the capital, it is better to follow the prince."
"This...is okay."
As soon as she heard the promise, Kawako suddenly smiled happily.
"Mr. Chen, long time no see."
But at this moment, a very familiar voice suddenly came from outside the hospital.
Chen Mu turned his head and saw Liu Ding, who had changed into plain clothes, walking slowly from the courtyard gate.
"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince." Chen Mu cupped his hands, but he didn't expect that the Crown Prince would pay his respects suddenly.
"Come inside and chat?"
"Your Highness, please."
Chen Mu bowed and poured him a cup of tea. As for the prince, he stretched out his face that made even a woman jealous, blinking and looking at him quietly.
No matter how beautiful he is, he is still a man. This look in his eyes really gave Chen Mu goosebumps.
"His Royal Highness...are you here for anything?"
Liu Ding pursed his lips and smiled, then threw the burden to Chen Mu: "His Majesty likes your Jialing map. This is what he gave you as a reward."
Chen Mu opened it and took a look, and immediately saw the one thousand taels of gold, but he was not too excited. After all, he had been painting the Jialing map for a month.
"That's it, thank you His Highness the Crown Prince for sending it here."
Liu Ding waved his hand: "There is nothing to thank you for. Besides, after His Majesty saw your few short sentences, he may meet you in person in the near future. Don't say anything wrong then."
Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the pretty face illuminated by the bright moon outside the window and smiled.
"why are you laughing?"
"I didn't expect that His Highness would report the news in advance for me without telling my father."
Liu Ding turned around and said, "It's not for you, I just feel that there are few talents in the court now. If you become an official in the future, you can contribute to Long Xia and become mine."
Chen Mu nodded: "I will live up to His Highness the Crown Prince."
As time passed slowly, three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the early morning of that day, the four paintings were still hanging outside the shop, and the news that Chen Mu bought twenty paintings had already made the whole city agitated as the news of the past few days had gone by.
It rains from time to time in the summer, but even so, there are already more than ten or twenty horse-drawn carriages parked on the streets of Yuxi Road, waiting for the bookstores to open their doors in the middle of the night.
