This writing and composition was originally Li Ji's hobby, and it was also the length of his life. Doing this business is also his life pursuit, how can he easily let go. Besides, he was born straight, and some scholars were angry, and the most annoying thing was that it was worthless to talk about it. couldn't help but say that it annoyed him again.

Annoyed, who it was, his eyes widened angrily, and he roared: "You don't understand this business, don't pay attention to it, don't talk about it." I'll take care of it myself. ”

So saying, he took up his belongings, kicked out the door, and without looking back, went down the street toward the city.

Li Wansan and his wife, seeing this, had no choice but to let him go.

Although Li Ji was also angry and annoyed, he still had the energy and spirit to think that he could do this job in the city.

He hurried through two streets, and in the morning he set up a clearing on the cross street, laid out pen and ink, paper, and made a mess.

Coming along the street, you can see clearly on both sides of the street. Pharmacy shops, pawn shops, and iron shops are all shops close to each other, and some people come out and some people come in, and you come and go. Cloth shops, restaurants, and inns are close to each other, and people come and go without stopping, and they come and go.

On both sides of the street, there are vegetables for sale: greens, turnips, and nepeta; Selling meat: pork, fish, chickens and ducks with hares and pheasants, selling tofu, roasted cakes, sugar gourds; There are also divination stars, sugar man kites. The old are old, the young are few, and the children are the most lively. Lead mules to lead horses, pull cattle and herd sheep, and sell them for their own use.

At this time, the weather is warm and the crowds are busy. It's busy, it's crowded. There are local ones, there are foreign ones, one city, two crossings, those who come and those who leave, and it is not a place of trade.

Li Ji saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. I also want to join in the fun and keep this little bit of work in front of me busy. But it backfired, and it was never satisfactory. Busy people only care about being well fed and warmly dressed. In my spare time, there are also trades that can be used for recreation, and where I will be interested in this, most of them just go over to take a look, come over and take a look, and it is enough.

This is also understandable, do some promising trades, even if you can't be rich and expensive, you can still eat enough, dress warmly, and get by. If you are lucky, you will be rich and prosperous in one day, and you will not be able to watch from the sidelines, and you can also enjoy it. Wouldn't it be nice to no longer have to suffer from running around and not being bullied, and it is also a beautiful thing in life.

Therefore, Dafan has some attention, and he will never let go of the opportunity to change. As we went back and forth, there were many beneficial things on the street, but some were lost.

Fortunately, this stall is not Li Ji's family, there is an old man Wu on South Street who sells calligraphy and composition, and Cao Jushi on East Street sells calligraphy and paintings. The two are intelligent, well-read, knowledgeable, and have their own styles, which are deeply loved by everyone. In terms of seniority and talent, they are all above him Li Ji. And because of the business for many years, the reputation is promising, and there are always people who come to the door to write and paint, rely on this to make a living, and subsidize the family, which is not a problem.

That's why whenever the two of them set up a stall, there are always people coming, even if they don't buy, they come to watch. One is to make it lively, and the other is to enjoy it.

On the other hand, Li Ji's business, although he is full of enthusiasm and confidence, insists on going out every day, few people come to do his business.

He himself knows that he has to stand aside. The only thing that is commendable is to insist on doing this thing every day, as long as there is a little leisure time, I will go to the booth of the two to see and gain knowledge.

Today is the same, the morning has passed, and there is no one to ask. The morning was consumed in vain, which made Li Ji's mentality very bad. Seeing that others are busy and have business to do, and have nothing to do, it is inevitable that I will not be happy. In addition, I was taught a lesson when I went out in the morning, and I just felt tired and had nothing to say.

In the afternoon, the sky is like a baby's face. The sky was clear, but it was overcast in an instant. The crowd on the street gradually dispersed, and the traders began to collect their stalls and go home.

Li Ji didn't dare to slack off, and began to clean up the stall and prepare to go back. At this time, Liu Xianzi, who was selling radishes, passed by him and shouted at him: "It's going to rain this day, why don't you hurry home?"

Li Jidao: "Don't worry, I'll go back after packing up." ”

Liu Xianzi said again: "Don't worry? It's cloudy like this day, don't worry." I'm afraid I'm going to get wet if it's too late. "Carrying the burden, as he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked away.

Li Ji glanced at it and continued to bow his head and clean up in an orderly manner. At this moment, Orion Zhang Hengrou passed by in front of his stall. Seeing that he was sorting out seriously, he casually threw a sentence: "Why don't you go home soon, what are you going to do with it?"

When Li Ji heard this, he was still a little annoyed, and said unhappily: "It's also a career, can't you sort it out well?"

Zhang Hengrou said: "You also call it a career? I haven't seen you do anything all day." ”

Li Ji retorted: "No matter how small the business is, you have to do it slowly. ”

Hengrou said disdainfully: "You can do it slowly, you can't see anyone looking for you to write for a day, and you still regard it as a career?"

Li Ji didn't bother to explain anything, and said: "No matter what, I still have to keep doing it." ”

Hengrou said contemptuously: "It's going to rain, hurry back, it's not a pity to get wet with this thing." With that, he put the hare he was carrying in his hand, put it on his shoulder, and swaggered away.

After Li Ji heard this, he was unhappy and confused, but he couldn't speak. I secretly said in my heart: "No matter how small the cause is, you have to stick to it, and it is difficult for you to change your career." ”

Due to the changing weather, Li Ji returned home earlier than usual. Fortunately, I came back in time and did not get drenched in the rain.

When I returned home, I saw that only my mother, Hou, was at home, and it seemed that my father had not returned. Li Ji asked, "It's going to rain, why doesn't my father hurry home?" After speaking, the probe looked at the cloudy sky, and at this time, the sky was also dark.

Hou said: "Everyone else knows how to go home in a hurry, how can someone as big as him not understand." Don't worry, wait and see. ”

Li Jidao: "It's going to rain, you must know how to go home, if you don't come back, unless something happens." ”

Hou said: "Jicheng child, when you say this, my mother is worried, or you go to find your father." ”

Li Jidao: "Yes, I'll go and have a look." As he spoke, the torrential rain hit and crackled and knocked on the house.

Hou listened to the sound of rain and panicked. Li Ji looked at the gate of the courtyard and couldn't move out.

The rain fell for about half an hour, and the rain stopped and the clouds dispersed, and Li Wansan came back with a delay. It was raining, his clothes were soaked, his face was black, and his face was unhappy.

When he entered the house, he saw that Li Ji was safe and sound, and he didn't plan to change his wet clothes, so he asked, "You came back early today." ”

Li Jidao: "It's not going to rain, I ran back early in the afternoon." ”
