Li Du is also one of the top ten talented men in Quanzhou, but his name is not because of Li Bai and Du Fu, nor is he a great poet. It can be said that except for his surname Li and Du, he has no other relationship with Li Bai and Du Fu.

He is just a scholar, and his specialty is not about writing poetry, but calligraphy. He has a knowledge of all kinds of calligraphy, especially at imitating other people's handwriting.

His family is a bit similar to Yang Cong's family, and they are also merchants, but his family is not as rich as Yang Cong's family, so his family can only be considered a relatively rich and rich family.

His family manages the four treasures of the study, books, calligraphy and paintings, etc., and the things that scholars need to use can basically be bought in his store.

The next morning, Yang Cong and Yu Dayou came to the Wenlin Bookstore in the Li family.

Bookstores are not very rare these days, but they are available in Hui'an, and Yang Cong once visited them in his memory.

However, the Li family's Wenlin Bookstore really surprised him. Good guy, this lobby is probably not ten feet deep in the entrance hall. Although the width is only three or four feet, the height is at least about two feet.

The walls on both sides of the lobby are all bookshelves, almost all leading to the roof. The bookshelf is densely packed with books, and I don’t know how many books there are.

There are two slew of counters under the bookshelf, and there are four treasures of various study rooms on the counter, and there are probably hundreds of them.

Yang Cong's outfit is like a rich young man, but Yu Dayou is dressed in a simple manner and looks like a follower. When a clever guy saw the two of them coming in, he came up and said enthusiastically to Yang Cong: "Young Master, what do you want to do? Our collection of classics, history, study, four treasures, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, and all kinds of miscellaneous books."

At this moment, Yu Dayou was telling Yang Cong how familiar he is with Li Du. He seems to have been to Wenlin Bookstore many times, but in the end, the guy in the bookstore didn't even know him!

What happened? Yang Cong couldn't help but look at him inexplicably.

Yu Dayou was so embarrassed. He rolled his eyes at the mate and said, "You are new, where is your young master?"

When the guy heard this, he was not angry, but became more enthusiastic. He thought he was a regular customer and actually knew his young master.

He did come to Wenlin Academy for a short time, but because he is diligent and quick-talking, the shopkeepers of all ages appreciate him.

Seeing that these two were regular customers of his young master, he hurriedly led them in.

Li Du was settled at the innermost counter now. When he saw Yu Dayou coming, he hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Mr. Yu is so glorious!"

Yu Dayou stepped forward and patted Li Du on the shoulder and scolded, "You guys, you don't feel annoyed when you always joke with me."

When Li Du heard this, he laughed and said, "Brother Zhifu, this is a bad word. I haven't been here for a long time. You haven't seen me for half a year."

Upon hearing this, Yu Dayou said awkwardly: "Hasn't I been taking the Wu Ju exam? By the way, this is Yang Cong from the Yang family of Hui'an, Yang Qingfeng. He is the favorite student of Mr. Xue, his father in Rongcheng, and he is also a close friend of us. I brought him here this time to ask you for help."

The close friend of Yu Dayou and Xue Nantang is the friend in their circle. When Li Du heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Brother Qingfeng, don't you know what's going on?"

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but look around.

Although it is still early this time, there are already a few people picking in the store. Just look at the dress of these people, they must be scholars.

It seems that it is not a good thing for him to ask someone to imitate other people's handwriting to write letters, so it is naturally not good to say it in public, especially in front of these boring scholars.

He could only bow in embarrassment: "This, I heard that Brother Ruowen has a very profound attainment in calligraphy. I'm here to ask for advice."

Li Du, you will understand as soon as you see him like this. This kid probably asked him to copy something.

He quickly said modestly: "I dare not take it, I dare not take it. Since my virtuous person is also interested in calligraphy, why don't we go to the study to discuss it."

After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation, and then turned around and walked towards the small door beside him.

Yang Cong followed in and saw that it was indeed a big study room. The study room seemed to be specially stored for calligraphy and paintings. The room was full of calligraphy works, and many of them were from Tang Bohu.

He curiously went up and saw that it turned out to be the original work!

Impossible?

Tang Bohu's original works now cost at least a few thousand taels of silver. Isn't it worth tens of thousands taels of silver if he has so much money?

He looked around again and found that there were calligraphy scrolls of famous artists such as Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, Su Shi, Mi Fu, Huang Tingjian, etc., which were worth hundreds of thousands of taels. If these were true, the Li Du family might have more money than his family.

Does the Li Du family have more money than his family?

Is it possible?

Among the famous rich people in Quanzhou, no one has a bookstore.

Obviously, these are all copied by Li Du!

This guy is amazing. He couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Ruowen has such a profound attainment in calligraphy, and I admire him."

When Li Du heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Everywhere, I just copy it and make a living."

At this time, Yang Cong had already believed in Li Du's copying skills. He took out an envelope from his arms without hesitation and said solemnly: "This letter is a very important evidence for the court. Can you help me copy it?"

Li Du took the envelope with a serious face, looked carefully, and then turned around and searched on a bookshelf.

After a while, he found an identical envelope.

Immediately afterwards, he opened the envelope, pulled out the letter paper and looked carefully, then turned around and searched on another bookshelf.

After a while, he found a stack of letter papers that were exactly the same as the secret letter.

Yang Cong was stunned when he saw this. This guy was indeed a specialist in copying, and even prepared a lot of envelopes and letter papers!

However, this is nothing, and next, that's what's amazing.

After Li Du found the envelope and the letter paper, he immediately sat down behind the desk, and then spread the letter paper on the table and looked at it with concentration.

After looking for a while, he took out a big box, opened it, found an ink stick from it, took a new inkstone, grinded some ink, and then raised his hand and picked out a brush from the pen holder, dipped ink, and dripped a few strokes on a manuscript paper. Then he nodded with satisfaction.

He was focused throughout the whole process and focused without distraction. His appearance and posture were obvious at first glance.

After preparing these, he finally began to copy them.

He first stared at the words on the secret letter for a while, and then slowly wrote it on the manuscript paper. It was not very similar at the beginning, but the more it went, the more it looked like it. When he picked up the pen and started writing on the letter paper, it was like a copy from a photocopier!

Yang Cong was stunned for a long time before he spoke up and reminded: "Brother Ruowen, please change that three days to one day."

Li Du nodded while writing, and the brush kept wandering on the letter paper without a stop. Not long after, he picked up the letter paper and blew it, then handed it to Yang Cong, and said with a little smugness: "Brother Qingfeng, do you see if there is any problem?"

Yang Cong picked up the original and compared it carefully for a while, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.

Hungry Guai Guai, this guy is even better than a photocopier. There is still a difference in the depth of the strokes copied by the photocopier, and he has no difference in this!

The secret letter was prepared like this. Then, Yang Cong asked someone to notify Yang Jinfeng, come to the mansion to pick up the letter, and take it back to show it to his second uncle.

The next day, Yang Jinfeng hurried to the Yang family shop in the mansion with 500 taels of silver. Needless to say, the silver was intended to be handed over to the confidants sent by Chen Wenjie.

The bait is ready and just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
