On this day, several scholars walked into a bookstore located on Dengdi Street, wanting to ask the shopkeeper that there are no new notes from students from Wannian Academy, and then ask if there is any work to copy books.

These scholars were originally talented students in the local area, but they came to the capital thousands of miles away because they wanted to become students of Wannian Academy.

Yu Shunchen's experience made common scholars see hope, and everyone wants to become the next Yu Shunchen.

Unfortunately, the Great Sage Dynasty had this idea and countless people went to Wannian Academy to study, but in the end, few were attracted by the academy based on their talents. Most of the students who went to Beijing were stopped outside the academy.

Some people returned disappointed, while others were unwilling to go back like this because they found that even if they couldn't enter Wanshan Academy, they could see much more books in the capital than when they were at home.

They will find ways to take on some book copying work, which can not only solve their livelihood problems, but also read more books themselves. Especially in the bookstores on the street, there will also be some students from Wannian Academy who will send them for consignment notes. This is extremely rare for scholars who yearn for Wannian Academy.

After the story of the Stone Sutra of Wannian Academy spread, they all wrote a letter back to their hometown, wanting to ask their teachers to write a letter of recommendation for themselves. Some students whose ancestral homes are close to the capital have already received letters of recommendation.

The Wenjing Pavilion in Wannian Academy is open to the public for three days at the beginning of each month. When it was opened for the first time at the beginning of this month, those who were qualified to enter brought enough paper, pen and three days of dry food, and planned to stay in it for three days and nights. Unfortunately, they later learned that the Wenjing Pavilion opens its doors every day and Xu is closed. After the doors are closed, no one is allowed to stay, but you can go in again on the second and third days.

Because there are too many students who have been to Beijing for the sake of the Stone Jing recently, but Wen Jing Pavilion is only such a big place. The academy stipulates that only 300 students will be accepted into Wen Jing Pavilion every month, and those who have been there this month will not be allowed to go there again.

"I went to Wenjing Pavilion and realized how ridiculous I had in my studies over the years." A young scholar in white clothes and his companions said in the bookstore, "I originally planned to give it a try next year, but now it seems that I should learn a few more years. The books I copied from Wenjing Pavilion this time will definitely make me learn something."

His words immediately attracted the attention of the scholars who had just approached.

Immediately someone took the initiative to come forward and talk, "Brother, I heard what you said, did you go to Wenjing Pavilion of Wannian Academy at the beginning of this month?"

The scholar in white looked up and saw that those who came in were scholars like him. He smiled and said, "Yes, I am also lucky and caught up with the first group. My classmates came from Ji County with me, and I will not be able to get in until next month."

Ji County is near Jingji, no wonder they got the news so quickly and rushed to Jingji.

Everyone couldn't help but envy them. For example, some of them were far away from the capital, and the letter would take several months to go back and forth. Even if they received the recommendation letter, they would not know when they would be scheduled.

"I just heard from my brother that someone copied the stone scriptures from Wenjing Pavilion. I wonder if I can lend them to me for a while?" Someone hurriedly said.

"This..." The scholar in white was a little embarrassed, "It's not that I refused to borrow it. The teacher and classmates were still waiting for me to take the copied books back. I plan to go back tomorrow."

Yes, although you can enter Wenjing Pavilion by getting a recommendation letter from a local academy, not everyone can get a recommendation letter. Moreover, even if you can get it, some poor families cannot get the travel fee to Beijing. The prices in the capital are high and it is not easy to live in.

The scholar in white sighed, "I was a little anxious at that time. I don't know if there were any mistakes or omissions. I have to wait until my classmate goes in and copy it next time and put it together to school."

Several scholars looked at each other and sighed in disappointment.

The scholar in white clothes was a little ashamed to see that he could not help them. He was about to call his classmates to leave together, but he saw that his classmates were reading a book with a fascinating look.

The scholar in white went over and pulled his classmate's sleeves. The classmate came to his senses and looked back at him and said in shock: "Mu Bai, "Nine Classics Notes"!"

Zhou Mubai, a scholar in white, thought that his classmate was talking about the "Nine Classic Notes" he copied, and hurriedly said, "Let's talk about it when you go back."

"No!" The classmate shook his head and quickly handed the book in his hand to Zhou Mubai, "It's the "Nine Classic Notes" on the Stone Sutra of Wannian Academy! There is a printed version!"

"What? There is a printed copy of the stone scripture?" When the scholars heard this, they hurriedly surrounded him.

Zhou Mubai was afraid that they would be deceived, so he hurriedly said, "It may not be true. It may also be that some bookstores printed to cheat the money."

After hearing this, the scholars felt it made sense. These common scholars knew the best how difficult it is to study.

It is so difficult to enter the Wenjing Pavilion of Wannian Academy, so how could there be printed copies in such a small bookstore? Moreover, even if someone copied them out and printed them at the beginning of the month, I don’t know if there will be any mistakes. Sometimes they buy some books with many mistakes in the market. This is also a point that commoners always look down on by noble families, and they think that they are reading fake books.

At this time, Zhou Mubai's classmate shouted: "Mubai, this book should be the original!"

Zhou Mubai was a little surprised when he heard this, "How can I see it?"

Although his classmate has read the books he copied, it is impossible for him to write down the book "Nine Classic Notes" just by looking at it for a few seconds. Moreover, he himself cannot be sure that all the copies were correct.

But the classmate opened the book seal and said, "There is the seal of Lord Yu Zhongling Yu on it!"

When the others heard Yu Shunchen's name, they rushed around.

“Where? Where?”

Sure enough, they saw Yu Shunchen's name and seal on the title page, but the seal was also printed, not real.

Everyone looked at each other in shock, and Zhou Mubai was also stunned.

"This... this cannot be fake, right? Who dares to privately engrave the seal of the Zhongshu Ling and sell it for sale?"

At this time, the shopkeeper of the bookstore came over and said unhappily: "What's fake? I'm the original! Lord Yu personally copied it and sent it to my friend. My friend found the best carving and printing craftsman from Yangzhou, and it was carved and printed! Look at the words, then look at the paper and ink, how could it be fake!"

At this time, a few more scholars came in quickly while talking.

"...I took the book and asked Dean Sun. Dean Sun said it was indeed Lord Yu's handwriting! There were no mistakes in the book."

"I plan to buy it back as a book collection!"

"I'm just thinking that way!"

After hearing this, Zhou Mubai and others hurriedly took the books on the bookshelf without saying a word. Even the scholar who was originally short of money came out to find a job after hesitating for a moment, he quickly grabbed one.

When the scholars from Wannian Academy who had just entered wanted to come and get the books, they found that there was only one left.

But the shopkeeper also said to them: "This book is not sold to the students of Wannian Academy."
Chapter completed!
