"Selling couplets! Selling couplets! Three copper coins for a couplet, a clearance price for jumping off a building. After this village, there wouldn't be such a shop!”
In a shop on the street, Xu Xian was shouting at the top of his lungs, as if he was promoting his couplets.
After returning to his normal business, Xu Xian gave Xu Jiarong some money. He finally rented a shop and resumed his old business. He worked hard to write dozens of couplets and finally officially opened for business.
However, there were many people who came to watch, but very few were willing to spend money to buy it. Xu Xian was also happy to be idle and shouted from time to time.
When he was free, he would hide in the shop and read. There were dozens of books on the table in front of him, all borrowed by Xu Xian from Sun Cheng's bookstore.
Because of Xu Xian, Sun Cheng would return to Lin 'an Mansion to take over the family business in a few days, so he was even more grateful to Xu Xian.
Not only the books in the bookshop, but also the ancient books and authentic works that had been hidden in his house for a long time were also available for Xu Xian to choose. Xu Xian was not greedy. He only picked a few books and planned to return them after reading them for a few days.
During this period, Xu Xian asked about Sun Wanqing. Sun Cheng's status was low, so he did not know about Sun Wanqing. He only knew that she had returned to Lin 'an House a few days ago.
Xu Xian was still thinking about her Yin-Yang Eye, but he was too embarrassed to go to Lin 'an Mansion, so he simply threw this matter to the back of his mind.
Xu Xian sipped a cup of tea. He read ten lines at a glance. If he didn't have to stop and think for a moment, he would have finished all these books in less than a day.
"Xu Xian, I finally found you. Hurry up and pour me a cup of tea.”
A weak scholar suddenly barged into the cold shop. After finding Xu Xian, he immediately made several cups of hot tea.
Xu Xian looked at his good friend. When he first came to this world, he had met Lu Yi, so he was somewhat familiar with her. However, Xu Xian was pulled by his sister's ear at that time and did not speak.
These days, Lu Yi often came to find him, and he helped to rent the shop. After a while, Xu Xian became familiar with him.
In Xu Xian's memory, the two of them were Shao Xiecai's fellow disciples, but the difference between them was that they were the best disciples and the last. The First Seat, Lu Yi, had a very good relationship with Xu Xian.
Xu Xian rolled his eyes at him. He hadn't seen him for a few days, but his head was black. Could it be that he had gotten something dirty?
"Have you encountered anything strange recently?”
Xu Xian was a little worried. He stared at the book and asked casually.
Lu Yi looked as if she had seen a ghost and mocked,"Yo! Didn't I run into a ghost!"
"Hmm? What the hell did you run into?" Xu Xian was a little surprised. Could it be that this guy also had Yin Yang Eyes?
"Why are you so hardworking? Today, seeing you studying without rest and forgetting to eat, isn't it a ghost?”Lu Yi teased.
Xu Xian was so angry that he wanted to punch him. Finally, he looked at his small body and thought that it was boring. He sat down again and pursed his lips."Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday? Today was the registration time for the spring examinations. If they missed today, they would have to wait another year.”Lu Yi looked disappointed.
"Oh!"
Xu Xian rolled his eyes and continued to study the peerless work in his hand. He had really benefited a lot!
"What are you looking at so absent-mindedly? Let me see!”Lu Yi snatched the book from Xu Xian's hand.
"You brat, quickly return it to me!" Xu Xian was so anxious that he almost rushed over. How could he share such a masterpiece with others?
However, Lu Yi's face was ashen. In a short while, her face turned red. Her ever-changing expression was very strange. No one knew what kind of mood she was in.
"Qing Shan, why is your nose bleeding?”Xu Xian burst out laughing.
"Damn it, as the disciple of a Saint, how can I look at this kind of thing!”Lu Yi looked up at the sky and sighed. She kept wiping the blood from her nose as if she didn't know Xu Xian.
Xu Xian put the masterpiece," The Plum in the Golden Vase ", into his bosom and carefully kept it. He couldn't help but laugh."Lu Qingshan, have you not tasted it yet?”
As if she had stepped on his sore spot, Lu Yi's face turned red and she said aggrievedly,"Humph! I'm just angry recently, that's all!”
Xu Xian put his arm around his shoulder and said,""There aren't any fancy brothels in Qiantang County. If there's a chance to go to Lin 'an Mansion, I'll definitely bring you there to have a taste.”
"That's good. It's a deal between us. However, we mustn't let Teacher know about this!”Lu Yi stuttered for a long time before she finally said it out loud.
After the two of them were united, Lu Yi avoided his gaze and whispered,""Can I borrow that book for a few days to study? Cough cough!”
Xu Xian almost laughed out loud. This guy's expression was just like his junior high school self. When he thought about the time when he borrowed that thing from his deskmate, he was just like this shy little wife.
"Sure, one copper coin a night!”Xu Xian extended his hand.
"Lend me the book first and pay me the copper coins on credit. When I win the title of Top Scholar in the future, I will definitely return it to you!”Lu Yi didn't care about her image and reached for the book in Xu Xian's chest.
"Cough cough! Is the boss here?"
A cough came from outside. It was the famous Old Master Xin in the county town, who was staring at the two of them with a strange expression.
Xu Xian kicked Lu Yi away and straightened his clothes. He assumed a posture that he thought was very handsome and said,""The number one pair in the world is my name, Xu Xian.”
Old Master Xin's real name was Xin Binglin. His ancestors were businessmen. In his generation, his family was even more prosperous. He also liked to do good deeds on weekdays. There were not many people in Qiantang County who did not know him.
"Forget it, it seems that I was thinking too much.”
When Old Master Xin saw Xu Xian and Lu Yi's disheveled clothes, especially Lu Yi's flushed face, he secretly thought to himself that it was a pity that such a handsome duo was actually Uncle Rabbit.
Xu Xian saw that a customer had finally arrived and was about to leave. He did not care about his image anymore. He quickly leaned over and grabbed Old Master Xin's arm.
"It's fine if you don't believe me. Since you're already here, why don't you buy a few couplets and go home for the New Year? It's almost the new year, and it's a blind date. Why don't I give you a discount? Buy three get one free!”
"Sigh, Master, don't go. Buy two get one free is fine. How about buy one get one free?”Xu Xian held Old Master Xin in his arms with tears and snot in his eyes. He thought that Old Master Xin was a resentful wife.
Xin Binglin had always cared about his face, and when he thought that Xu Xian might be a rabbit, he had goosebumps all over the ground. He said helplessly,"Let go of me first. I'll buy your couplet, okay?”
Xu Xian bounced back and said with a smile,""Old Master Xin is really a good person. Do you want to have a lot of money or a lot of people? There are all kinds of them, long and short. Take a look!”
"This couplet is 'White snow auspicious omen, golden rooster happy treasure peaceful year', and this short one also has' colorful clothes printed with five blessings, spring wine wishes three more 'If I take it back and paste it on the door, I guarantee that next year will be smooth sailing and the whole family will be happy!”
Xin Binglin looked at it for a while. Although he felt that the scholar beside him was very noisy, he was a talented couplet expert. He could not help but have thoughts.
"A few days ago, someone gave me a couplet. If you can match it, I'll pay a lot of money to ask for ink!”Xin Binglin stroked his goatee.
Not only was Xu Xian interested, even Lu Yi, who had been silent all this while, stood up and asked,""What kind of couplet is it?"
Old Master Xin paused, his eyes wandering as he said,"I asked all the shops on this street, but no one could answer.”
Xu Xian's face remained calm as he shouted,""Then you haven't met me. I can match any pair!”
"Then listen carefully. The first half of the couplet is 'Reading in spring, reading in autumn, reading in spring and autumn' Can you match the second half?”
Old Master Xin didn't expect the two of them to be able to match up. He was purely here to try his luck.
" That's easy. Let me try,'The Earth is as if it's nothing'." Lu Yi came up and recited half of it before he stopped abruptly. This couplet was definitely beyond his imagination.
Lu Yi was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks. He was a famous scholar in Qiantang County, but he was helpless against this!
Old Master Xin saw that the two of them could not match up for a long time. He sighed and was about to leave, but he was even more anxious for his son.
"Old Master Xin, please wait. If I match the second half of the couplet, how much is the calligraphy on duty?”Xu Xian suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled.
