Chapter 89 When
Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu dumbfounded: "The neighbors are all enthusiastic people. Didn't you explain to them that I am only ten years old?"
"Explained, but they She still expressed her concern. "
Shi Zelan was very lucky at this moment. Her household registration age was only ten years old, which saved her countless troubles.
Shi Zelan looked at Shi Xiaoliu sympathetically: "It's hard to be a good person."
Shi Xiaoliu looked at her angrily: "Master and uncle can dislike dealing with people because they are scholars, and you can also act willfully because you are young. Can I?"
Shi Zelan gave it to Shi with sympathy. Xiaoliu presented a Pure Heart Talisman: "Try holding it for a few days to see if you can avoid enthusiastic people."
Shi Xiaoliu recognized the Pure Heart Talisman, took it and smiled: "I am already pure enough.
Okay, I'll use it for a few days and then tell you the results of the trial."
Shi Zelan looked at him and said with a smile: "If you can't use this talisman, I have other talismans. It’s available for you.”
Shi Xiaoliu looked at her and became worried for a moment: "Sister Lan, if you are impatient when others say a few words to you, don't use the silence charm on others."
Shi Zelan listened. His words made him very unhappy and said: "Are ordinary people worthy of me using talismans?"
Shi Xiaoliu thought of Aunt Zhang, who expressed her care and concern gushingly every time she faced him. mind.
But she would always say a few polite words to Shi Zelan and ask, but Shi Zelan hadn't figured it out yet.
When Shi Xiaoliu heard about it, he almost laughed out of anger. Was he the one who had the enlightenment?
When he met Zhang's aunt later, he treated her coldly, but others could still talk endlessly in front of him.
Shi Zelan left very sadly. During his short stay in the Black City, Shi Zelan did not want to have too much interaction with his neighbors.
Shi Xiaoliu originally had the same thoughts as her, but in daily life, he had no interaction with the scholars. Instead, he had interactions with the neighbor aunts.
Now that they are going to live in the Black City for a few days, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng use two small stores to store food for the winter.
When the New Year was about to come, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng suddenly came up with the idea of taking their two children to the entrance of the alley to write Spring Festival couplets for everyone.
After hearing this, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at them in shock: "Master (Master), Master (Uncle), haven't you changed your mind?"
Master Decheng nodded affirmatively: "We If you want to enjoy the joy of the New Year in the secular world, you should always give something."
Master Shanzheng said to Shi Zelan: "Don't worry about your handwriting. I have been walking around these days. I can barely use the words.”
Shi Zelan really thanked the master, but the elders made a decision, and she and Shi Xiaoliu had no choice but to obey.
The four of them set up a table at the entrance of the alley, prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones and started writing Spring Festival couplets in their yard.
Some neighbors came up curiously to inquire about the situation. After hearing their plan, they smiled and said: "Our alley is full of scholars. If you are really thoughtful, go to the entrance of the alley ahead."
Decheng Zhenren The kind and upright man was really a caring person. The next day, he went to the entrance of the alley ahead.
The two of them were sitting at the table, with Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan standing behind them at the table.
People passing by, after looking at the expressions of the four of them, bravely asked: "Do you need money to write Spring Festival couplets?"
Decheng Zhenren pointed to the person who wrote Spring Festival couplets for free. Sign: "Guests only need to bring their own red paper."
The person who asked the question turned back and said a few words to the people who came with him: "How about we give it a try?" "We have never seen these four people. What if they write badly?"
< br>
“If you can save a penny, it’s a penny, but if you write it badly, it’s just a piece of paper.”
Someone came up and asked Master Decheng to write the word "福". He was serious. I wrote the word "福".
After finishing writing, more people crowded over. Shi Zelan quickly said to the women who crowded over: "Everyone, line up, the four of us can write Spring Festival couplets for everyone."
The women glanced at Shi Zelan and said disgustedly: "You are a child, so don't join in the fun. We want your adults to help write Spring Festival couplets."
Shi Zelan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, but if you are in a hurry, My brother and I can also write Spring Festival couplets for everyone.”
The women still lined up. The most people were in front of the table of Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng, and there were two or three people in front of Shi Xiaoliu’s table who were rushing to go home. Of the people, only Shi Zelan’s table was empty.
Shi Xiaoliu cherished this opportunity very much and wrote Spring Festival couplets for the guests very seriously. Then there were five or six more people in front of his table.
At the end of the day, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng never stopped working. Shi Xiaoliu also worked on twenty or thirty Spring Festival couplets. Only Shi Zelan had the most time. An old woman took pity on her and asked her to write them. With the word "福".
The next day, they continued to write Spring Festival couplets, and Shi Xiaoliu stopped by Shi Xiaoliu at the entrance of the alley and asked in a low voice: "How was your business yesterday?"
Shi Xiaoliu looked at her: "Let's post the couplets." Writing Spring Festival couplets for others is not doing business.”
“Then you can’t do this. You are robbing the poor scholar of his livelihood.”
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng heard the woman. Then, they turned around and said, "We only write about today. We will come back tomorrow to study hard."
After they left, the woman informed the people in the alley of the news and sighed. : “I’m so obsessed with reading books, big and small, that I don’t even know how to earn a few pen and ink fees by the way.”
People in the alley wanted to see the excitement, so they went to the entrance of the alley and were amazed when they saw people crowded with people writing Spring Festival couplets.
There were people in front of Shi Zelan's table at this time. Everyone held written Spring Festival couplets and gathered around her table to talk.
They asked Shi Zelan: "Little girl, will your father and your uncle still be here writing Spring Festival couplets tomorrow?"
"They won't come tomorrow."
After Shi Zelan answered , a woman was worried: "Why don't you come tomorrow? I have already sent the news to my natal brother."
Shi Zelan glanced at her: "Auntie, we can only write Spring Festival couplets for free for two days. If we exceed it, there will be some problems."
Several women left in a hurry, and a young woman looked at it Spring couplets in hand: "Then I ask you to write Spring couplets in the future. How much pen and ink will it cost?" "
Shi Zelan looked up at the woman who asked the question, and said with a smile: "It depends on fate. At the moment, I can't answer randomly. ”
At noon on this day, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng ate the spring cakes given by the guests.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan returned to the courtyard to eat. After the meal, They took the pen and ink and sent it over.
At dusk, Master Decheng and his party returned home, and there were two or three scholars waiting at the intersection.
They saluted Decheng and Shanzheng very politely: "Two master calligraphers, I don't know when you will be free. We would like to come and ask for advice?"
Decheng and Shanzheng are kind. Zhengren looked at the red paper in their hands and said with a smile: "We are just people who like to write, and we really cannot be called masters of calligraphy."
