After rebirth, I abducted the future minister

Chapter 65 Where is the fish?

"Really?" When the old man heard this, he thought it was a good deal. He was immediately moved and asked hurriedly: "How much does it cost?"

Chu Yingying smiled and said: "It only costs eighteen cents. If you buy one pair, we will give you another pair for free."

The old man's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Okay, let's get one first. If the writing is good, I will buy more."

"Okay, grandpa, wait a moment."

After saying that, Chu Yingying picked up the brush on the table and soaked it in a brush wash filled with clean water for a while. Cui Yunhao kept grinding the ink aside. When the old man saw this, he couldn't help but ask: "Little girl,

Is it possible that all the Spring Festival couplets are written by you yourself?"

He originally thought that the two children were just helping to sell the goods, and there was someone else who started writing, but after waiting for a long time and not seeing anyone else, he couldn't help but regret it.

At such a young age, I'm afraid I have just learned to hold a pen and write. I can't even recognize the characters. How good can I write?

"Yes, I will write them all." Chu Yingying saw his thoughts and said with a sincere smile: "Grandpa, don't worry. Although my handwriting is not very beautiful, I have practiced hard.

For a long time, if you think my writing is bad, we won’t take any money from you.”

Seeing that she looked confident, the old man believed her and said, "Okay, you write it first and let me take a look."

Chu Yingying responded crisply, held the opened ox-hair brush in her hand, dipped it in ink, and began to write stroke by stroke seriously.

As soon as she entered the door, Chu Yingying smelled an attractive fragrance and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to help Aunt Lu cook and wash the vegetables. After the last dish of fish-flavored shredded pork was served on the table, Lu Yuan came back with his meal.

Chu Yingying waved her pen and ink attentively, and pedestrians gathered around to watch the excitement. She waved a Spring Festival couplet, which triggered thunderous applause from the scene.

Chu Yingying put down her pen with great ambition, and read with a smile: Danfeng presents auspiciousness, dragon presents auspiciousness, red peach and apricot greet the new year. The horizontal mark means the lucky star shines brightly. Grandpa, take a look, how is it written?"

Lu Yuan replied honestly: "At the invitation of two friends, we went boating in the West Lake together. In the afternoon, we also went fishing in the Siling Reservoir and caught a basket full of fish."

"Okay!" Chu Yingying smiled and folded the newly written Spring Festival couplets and handed them to the old man. Then she took out a new red paper and spread it out. She pressed the corners with a paperweight and continued writing.

On the way, the two of them counted the copper coins they earned today, and found that there were as many as four hundred copper coins. They immediately cheered and their steps became lighter than before.

The old man looked at it carefully and said happily: "Not bad, not bad! Little girl, help me write two more copies."

The passers-by who were watching behind saw that her writing was really good and when asked about the price, they all dug into their pockets to buy a few pairs to take home. The crowd was packed for a while.

Lu Fucheng asked: "Where did you go crazy so early in the morning? Did you come back so late?"

Chu Yingying lowered her head and kept writing, while Cui Yunhao was busy collecting money and polishing ink. During this period, because there was not enough red paper, Cui Yunhao hurriedly ran to buy a bunch of them.

The old man stretched his neck and leaned over to take a look, and saw that the characters were really beautifully written in small regular script with beautiful hairpin flowers, flying and agile, and he was stunned for a moment.

They were busy until the sun went down and the market was about to close. The crowds gradually dispersed. Then they packed up their stalls and walked back to Jishi Hall happily.

Seeing that his hands were empty, Lu Fucheng asked again: "Where is the fish?"

"Eat." Lu Yuan touched his belly and laughed twice.

"You kid, you don't know how to keep two of them home to make fish soup or something. If you're full, don't you need to eat dinner?"

Lu Fucheng shook his head helplessly and cursed with a smile.
