Old Master Xin, who had already given up, had his eyes lit up. His goatee shook as he said in disbelief,"You matched it? If you can match it, this old man will use a silver coin to beg for your calligraphy treasure!”
"F * ck!"
Xu Xian couldn't help but curse. Although Sun Wanqing had given him a lot of gold bars, they were all hidden with his sister. He was now a poor man with a lot of debts.
In this world, a silver coin was worth a hundred copper coins. Xu Xian was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. Was Old Master Xin here to give him money? Or is it a child who spreads wealth?
"Villagers, come and take a look. Come and be a witness. Old Master Xin said that he would ask for my calligraphy for a silver coin.”
Xu Xian was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he shouted at the top of his voice. For a moment, the small shop was surrounded by people who were watching the show.
"You brat, don't talk nonsense. I, Xin Binglin, am a man of my word in Qiantang County. Doing business is all about integrity.”
When Old Master Xin saw that there were so many people gathered here, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment. It was as if he would go back on his words.
"What couplet did Old Master Xin come up with? It's actually worth a silver coin. Why don't we all try it out?”
" Yes, yes, I'm the Little Couplet Prince of Qiantang County…"
More and more people came over to make a fuss. After all, the matter of offering such a high reward for couplets was definitely news on the entertainment front page for the people of Qiantang County.
Xin Binglin was also a businessman who was used to the market. He said directly,"Reading in spring, reading in autumn, reading in spring and reading in autumn, can any of you match up? No matter who it was, as long as they could answer it, they would be worth a silver coin!”
Old Master Xin thought that the fire would burn if everyone gathered firewood. He had asked for a long time without any effect, so he might as well take advantage of the large number of people to brainstorm.
The onlookers immediately became excited. After all, one silver coin was the cost of a whole year for many families. The crowd instantly became lively.
"Old Master Xin, look at my pair. Dogs eat meat, wolves eat meat, and wolves eat meat and eat dog food. How about it?”
All of a sudden, regardless of gender, age, literacy, or illiterates, the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea all showed their magical powers, causing a commotion in front of the shop.
Seeing that no one was reliable, Old Master Xin's face turned red and he shouted,"Bullshit! Quiet down!"
At this moment, the crowd quieted down a lot. Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Xian. After all, he was the main character.
Xu Xian was very satisfied with the current effect. This Old Master Xin was simply advertising for him for free. He was really a fat sheep. If he didn't make a good profit, he would be ashamed of his ancestors.
"Old Master Xin, you can't even answer this. It seems that this couplet is not easy!”Xu Xian said proudly.
Xin Binglin was very dissatisfied when he saw this, but he also felt that his matter was urgent. For that silly son, spending a sum of money was nothing.
"If you can answer it, I'll give you five silver coins!”
"Ahem, writing couplets is very tiring.”Xu Xian saw that he was anxious, so he raised the price again.
"Alright, then ten silver coins. If you dare to deceive me, you won't be able to bear the consequences!”Xin Binglin slammed his palm on the table and threatened fiercely.
The crowd exclaimed again. Good lord, 10 silver coins was enough to live frugally for the rest of his life, or to find a beautiful wife.
"Old Master Xin, please don't blame me. Xu Xian was seriously ill a few days ago and is still not very sober.”
Lu Yi bent forward and kept pushing Xu Xian back, obviously worried that Xu Xian would not be able to match this strange couple.
After all, he was well aware of Xu Xian's usual standards. Even his teacher, Shao Xiecai, had given up on him. Lu Yi was really worried for Xu Xian.
Xu Xian's eyes lit up and he shouted impatiently,""Good! It's a deal!"
Pushing Lu Yi away, Xu Xian strode back to the shop and took out the empty couplet he had left behind. It was obvious that he was going to respond on the spot.
Old Master Xin was a little excited. Could it be that this kid could really match up? Then his son would be saved!
The people outside the shop were also looking up. Many of them knew Xu Xian and were waiting to see him make a fool of himself. After all, everyone knew Xu Xian's level.
Lu Yi looked at Xu Xian, who was seriously grinding ink, and paced back and forth anxiously, hoping that she could think of an answer to help him get through this.
"Alright!"
"What do you mean by that? Don't tell me you're writing nonsense!”Lu Yi was shocked when she heard Xu Xian's voice. How could he write it so quickly? Didn't he know to put in more effort?
Xu Xian rolled his eyes at him and thought that he had made a killing today. He grabbed the couplet and handed it to Old Master Xin with a smug look.
Old Master Xin took the couplet, his expression changing. Lu Yi thought to herself," Xu Xian is really in trouble today!"
"Old Master Xin, what is this Xu Xian writing? Is it not as good as my wolf-dog couplet? Haha!"
The people below jeered and made up their minds to watch a joke, causing the entire hall to burst into laughter. Xu Xian was speechless. When will he write a book called Kong Yiji? He would satirize people like you who add insult to injury.
"Good couplet, wonderful couplet! South Tongzhou, North Tongzhou, and North Tongzhou connecting to South Tongzhou. How wonderful!”Old Master Xin suddenly looked excited. He hugged Xu Xian's shoulder and wanted to pull him into his arms.
Fortunately, Old Master Xin remembered Xu Xian's identity as Rabbit Lord and stopped his intimate actions in time. He took out the money bag in his arms and slammed it on the table.
"This old man will take this couplet back. You can keep the change for the extra money!”Old Master Xin couldn't care less about the money. He turned around and left as if he had obtained a treasure.
The surrounding people were shocked. They didn't expect Xu Xian, who usually didn't show his strength, to be so powerful.
Xu Xian accepted everyone's respectful gaze and thought to himself that he was too outstanding. He grabbed Old Master Xin who was about to leave.
"Old Master Xin, I see that your glabella is black and your body is surrounded by demonic qi. Did you encounter something strange recently?”
Xu Xian looked confident. After all, when he was writing the couplet just now, he had used Wen Qi to enhance it. He happened to see the demonic qi on Old Master Xin's body.
Originally, Xu Xian didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he felt that he had taken advantage of him. Moreover, this person usually helped the people of Qiantang County, so he asked this question.
Old Master Xin's shoulders trembled as if he had been hit on, but he felt that he should not wash his dirty linen in public, so he simply prevaricated,"That's not the case. I just like couplets. Don't ask anymore.”
After saying that, Old Master Xin pushed away the crowd and ran towards his home. His heavy back was a little heavy.
Xu Xian stared at his back for a while. The demonic aura had been lingering around him for many days, but it had not eroded his body. Perhaps the target of this demon was not this Old Master Xin.
After the protagonist left, the onlookers gradually dispersed. However, some busybodies bought a lot of Xu Xian's couplets, which could be considered as unexpected wealth.
Xu Xian greeted the guests cheerfully. He sounded more confident. After all, he had more than ten silver coins in his pocket. He couldn't help but feel proud.
Old Master Xin was indeed generous. He gave the extra silver coins to Xu Xian without even blinking.
"Why do you keep staring at me?"
Xu Xian glanced at Lu Yi in confusion.
"How did you match it? Did you hear it from somewhere? Tell me the truth!”Lu Yi strangled Xu Xian's neck and pretended to use force.
"Fine, I'll tell you. A monk told me about it a few days ago. Do you want to hear another explanation? East Pawnshop, West Pawnshop, East Pawnshop, West Pawnshop, Pawnshop, how about it?”Xu Xian said helplessly.
Lu Yi's eyes were burning with anger. She gritted her teeth and said,""Why can't I meet the old monk? Why do you meet monks every day recently? Is the monk your relative?"
"Maybe I'm fated with Buddha!" Xu Xian said innocently.”
While the two of them were joking, Old Master Xin ran back to the mansion in high spirits. He held the couplet in his hand and thought that his son was finally saved. His footsteps became lighter and lighter.
