At this moment, another student in a scholar's uniform walked forward.
He bowed to Official Liu and said,"" Student Lin Xiangming from Lin Family Village."
Minister Liu nodded. Lin Xiangming picked up the brush on the table and began to write.
"Blessed as the East Sea, and as long as the South Mountain."
If it was simple, the handwriting looked better than the previous one.
After looking at it, Minister Liu nodded with the same attitude. Then, he asked the butler to give him a money bag.
This money bag was slightly bigger than the previous one, and there was a hundred wen in it.
"Thank you, young friend."
Lin Xiangming bowed happily and returned to the crowd.
"Official Liu is so generous."
"Yes, his family has many high-ranking officials, so even if he is a businessman, no one dares to say anything about him.”
"I wonder which high-ranking official in the capital is going to receive this couplet.”
"I heard that it's a gift for your seventieth birthday.”
The onlookers were all whispering.
This group of scholars felt that they had lost their integrity when they were asked to sell calligraphy and paintings.
However, when it came to rankings, everyone would fight to participate.
"Is there anyone else who wants to come up and try?" asked the butler of the Liu residence.”
"Today's prize is still there. If you think of something better, you can try again.”
The prize was ten taels of silver.
Although most of the families who studied weren't poor.
However, which scholar would not want to take the prize?
Just as everyone was racking their brains.
At this moment.
A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"Student Zhao Jing from Zhao Family Village is willing to give it a try.”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall young man put the basket on his back on the ground and walked forward.
Official Liu nodded lightly.
The stall had been set up for nearly two hours.
However, the best one was just so-so.
There was nothing new about the other congratulatory words.
This young man was dressed in an old robe. One look and one could tell that he was from a Humble Class.
This kind of Humble Class disciple was born late and generally did not have much knowledge.
Therefore, Minister Liu did not have much hope.
Zhao Jing pondered for a while and began to write.
He looked gentle, but the moment his brush landed on the paper, some of the people around him who knew the industry began to exclaim.
"Whoa, this stance!"
"This person knows calligraphy?"
Only to see.
Zhao Jing held a brush in his hand, and the strokes of the brush were like dragons and snakes. Because of his writing, his aura suddenly changed.
Every stroke of his seemed to penetrate the back of the paper, but the paper under his brush was not damaged at all.
Such a behavior appeared on a young man who looked to be only 17 or 18 years old.
It could not help but make people exclaim repeatedly.
Very quickly.
A birthday couplet was written on the paper.
When Minister Liu heard the exclamations of the people around him, he couldn't help but size up this young man.
A member of the Zhao Family Village?
He had never heard of such a person in Zhao Family Village.
After Zhao Jing finished writing, he put the brush back to its original position.
"We should look at the current prosperity of the Divine Prefecture.”
The words were like dragons and snakes, vigorous and powerful.
It was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort and practiced his calligraphy for many years.
Minister Liu looked at the couplet in his hand and could not help but shout,"Good!"
"What a great show!"
"Today's prize is obtained by this Young Master Zhao from the Zhao Family Village.”
Following Minister Liu's praise, all the scholars present looked at Zhao Jing enviously.
Zhao Jing accepted the crowd's scrutiny with a calm smile on his face.
Soon, the butler of the Liu family brought over today's prize.
Zhao Jing took a delicate purse and squeezed it.
There was a silver ingot worth ten taels inside.
Since the money was already in his hands, Zhao Jing did not want to keep it.
He said goodbye to Official Liu, then carried his basket and walked out of the crowd.
"Someone from Zhao Family Village…Why didn't I see him at the school?”
"Now that you mention it, you look quite familiar!”
"I remember now! This was a student in Teacher Chen's class. It was said that he had stopped school and stayed at home a year ago because of the death of his parents.”
"Then, did he have good grades in the past?”
……
Everyone was extremely curious about Zhao Jing.
Everyone started to ask about this person.
"How did Zhao Jing suddenly become so knowledgeable?”
"Could it be that he insisted on reading and writing when he was at home?”
Listening to everyone's discussion, Zhao Wengao muttered a few words.
The main character that everyone was talking about was speeding up towards the city gate.
"Fortunately, I made it."
Fortunately, Zhao Jing managed to catch the ox cart back to the village.
Third Granduncle looked at his youthful appearance and could not help but smile.
"No need to rush."
"Next time, if you have something to do, let me know in advance. I can wait for you.”
"Thank you, Granduncle." Zhao Jing thanked him with a smile.”
The villagers on the ox cart, who were also preparing to go back, asked Zhao Jing what he was doing as usual.
Zhao Jing started chatting with everyone in high spirits.
"Today, I happened to meet the Liu residence who wanted to collect couplets, so I went to try them out.”
"I didn't expect to get the prize!”
"The Liu family's prize? I heard that there are ten taels of silver!"
A middle-aged man who had also heard about it quickly added.
Zhao Jing took out the delicate little pouch and showed it to everyone.
"Yeah, it seems like my luck has been pretty good ever since I got married.”
"I've only been enlightened for two or three years, and I haven't been to the Academy for almost a year.”
"I didn't expect to get such a prize.”
Zhao Jing said calmly.
Speaking of which, in the past two to three years, unless the original owner was a child prodigy.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such good knowledge.
Therefore, Zhao Jing decided to give all the credit for the silver he had earned over the past few days to Lin Anan.
As expected.
After everyone in the car heard this, many people agreed with him.
"It seems that Xiao Jing's decision to marry a wife was really wrong.”
"Yeah, this is really a prosperous husband!”
"No, after I go back, I have to let my wife and Xiao Jing's wife interact more and see if I can get some good fortune.”
After hearing the words of the aunts, Zhao Jing thought that after today, the little girl's life in the village would not be too difficult.
……
After returning to the village, Zhao Jing quickly walked home.
The door of the house was closed, and there were no people outside like yesterday.
Zhao Jing heaved a sigh of relief.
Although they had wasted a lot of time in the city, it seemed that the clan leader and the others had not returned yet.
He quickly walked forward and knocked on the door.
Thump thump…
Soon, light footsteps came from inside.
Zhao Jing waited patiently.
Creak ~
The door opened from the inside.
Lin Anan stuck her head out and looked at him in fear.
"Husband!"
" Zhao Jing!" she exclaimed in surprise as she looked at Zhao Jing.
Zhao Jing walked into the house and asked Lin Anan to leave the door open.
Seeing that the little girl was no different from the morning, Zhao Jing was completely relieved.
Although this little girl had made him worried for a while, Zhao Jing felt that this feeling was surprisingly good.
Only when people had something to care about could they truly feel alive.
"Husband, are you hungry? The rice has just been cooked."
Lin Anan's voice rang in his ears.
Zhao Jing didn't have time to eat in the city today, so he was indeed hungry.
He nodded and put down the basket on his back.
He had already finished the leftovers from the wedding day.
There was no extra food at home.
Lin Anan didn't dare to go out because of Zhao Jing's words.
If she was alone at home, she would have only cooked some porridge.
To her, this was already a very good meal.
But now that Zhao Jing was back, she was worried that her husband wouldn't be able to eat his fill.
Lin Anan poured a bowl of porridge for Zhao Jing. After thinking for a while, she added a small piece of sugar to the porridge.
She could not bear to add more to her bowl of porridge.
A piece of cerealose was added to the steaming porridge.
He stirred it a few times with his chopsticks, and the sugar quickly melted.
Lin Anan had liked the taste of sugar after tasting it yesterday.
However, no matter how insensible she was, she knew that candy was very expensive, so she did not dare to eat it anymore.
She wanted to save it for her husband…
She thought about whether her husband would be in a good mood after eating candy like her.
The corners of her lips unconsciously curled into a small smile.
