However, at the moment, the pepper didn't think of this, and naturally I didn't know that it would not be long before the owners of the paper shops in Chongtang would have to laugh crookedly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, speaking of the New Year, the business of other paper shops is booming.

After all, every household has to paste couplets, and the red table paper alone can sell a lot.

In order to solicit business, many paper shops will specially invite literate and hyphenated readers to write couplets in the store to help the people write couplets for free.

It's just that most people who are a little particular about it still prefer to buy back the red paper, cut it by themselves, and splash ink to write couplets.

It's just that I don't have such a character who can write a good hand, and there are always people in the village. There are also those big families with rich backgrounds, and they often have to specially invite the above people and inkmen to write couplets.

Not to mention those literati and writers, even ordinary scholars generally know the roots, the family background is good, and the people are also promising, since most paper shops invite ghostwriters to ghostwrite those who are incomparable to those down-and-out children.

Although people are downed and depressed, there is ink in their stomachs, but in the end, the New Year's Day is not as usual, and it is a couplet that says goodbye to the old and welcomes the new with good wishes, who doesn't want to please a good fortune.

Although there are many people in the Qin family who are literate and hyphenation, and the couplets are barely written, if you are outstanding, you must count Qin Lianbao, who deals with calligraphy and painting.

So over the years, not to mention that his own couplets were all written by Qin Lianbao. It's Zhoujiawan, and I can't wait for most of the couplets in the village to be ghostwritten by Qin Lianbao.

According to the usual practice, each household buys the big red table paper in advance and cuts it according to the needs. As soon as the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month passes, a bag of peanuts and melon seeds will be loaded, or a bag of sugar cakes will be wrapped, and Qin Lianbao will be asked to write couplets one after another.

In previous years, Qin Lianbao did not refuse to come, and after writing for so many years, he has even experienced it.

Before writing, I will first look at how many "pairs" and "couplets" have been cut, and then ask where they are pasted and whether there are any special requirements for the content.

Those door hearts, frame pairs, window pairs, horizontal batches, spring strips, bucket catties and the like, most people usually let go and ask Qin Lianbao to help choose in addition to happy events or birthday events at home. Only the door on the door of the courtyard door, each family has its own calculation. Some people ask for wealth, some people ask for blessings, some people ask for longevity, and some families ask for the safety of their homes.

These personal families, not only to satisfy them, but also to make the family not the same every year, this is a great test for Qin Lianbao, a writer.

It's okay to be satisfied with this, as long as it's what you want in your heart, the implication will not be bad, and most people won't have anything to say. It's just that this one is not the same, but it's a big problem.

After all, if you say, "Hey, isn't this the couplet my family used in the old days!" Although it doesn't seem like a big deal, after all, the couplet is about the façade of a family, and I feel uncomfortable.

But Qin Lianbao can avoid such trivial things every year, although the villagers of Zhoujiawan are used to it, it is not an easy task.

is so careful with others, and it is naturally impossible for his own couplets to be sloppy.

Usually in less than a young age, Qin Lianbao prepared the big red table paper early.

For the sake of neatness and beauty, Qin Lianbao has never been like a paper shop or an ordinary person for convenience, and the neat stacks of stacks are carefully cut out one by one.

One year, it was even a whim, and I carved a number of round seals with my heart. They are engraved with auspicious patterns such as dragon and phoenix Chengxiang, pine crane prolonging life, gold and jade full hall, blessing descending from the sky, etc., which are printed on the couplet and are decent and rich.

Writing couplets is a big deal, and Qin Lianbao spread it out early in the morning of the 28th. There are so many doors and windows of the Qin family, and the "pairs" and "couplets" to be written are simply more than half of Zhoujiawan combined, and they can fill a yard every time.

This year, Qin Lianbao thought that the number of people who came to ask him to write couplets would inevitably be fewer than in previous years, but not only did he know that there were not only two more families, but the number of couplets also greatly increased.

Most people usually only stick couplets on the door of the courtyard, but this year they stick it when they see the door and the window, and they all say that this can drive away this year's bad luck, and next year can be smooth.

Sichuan pepper always felt that this was a statement that the shopkeeper of the paper shop came up with in order to sell more red paper.

Only in this way, but it was hard work for Qin Lianbao, from twenty-eight to twenty-nine, he wrote two brushes, and wrote bowls and bowls of ink, and the hands of several little boys who sharpened the ink were sour, and it was finally their turn.

The little boys and girls were already in a hurry, scrambling to help Qin Lianbao either polish ink or lay paper, and happily held the couplets full of ink fragrance and spread them on the bamboo mats in the yard to dry.

Hua Jiao couldn't help, so he climbed into the chair by himself, knelt on the chair and stared intently at his father to write couplets.

"New Year's Yuqing, Festival No. Changchun" Every time a couplet is written, the family will resound the neat chanting of the little brothers and sisters, and this couplet is the Qin family's courtyard gate couplet that has not changed for many years, and even Xiangye recognizes it.

The couplet of "The pines and cypresses are growing every year, and Chunxuan is the world" was specially written by Qin Lianbao to Qin's father and Qin's mother. When the lobby brother saw it, he quietly told the younger siblings where the word "Chunxuan" came from, and everyone couldn't stop nodding their heads.

"Peace is a blessing, and harmony is spring" This is what Qin Lianbao thought to himself. He doesn't ask for anything else, only for the well-being and happiness of his family.

Du Shi asked Qin Lianbao to write a couplet of "Four seasons are safe, and the treasure is in all directions", which is the result of her painstaking meditation. She has a hunch that her family will definitely be able to make a fortune this year.

As for the spring strips of "full of spring" are pasted on the courtyard wall, "six animals are prosperous" are pasted on the livestock pen, "five grains are abundant" are pasted on the barn, "five flavors are complete" are pasted in the kitchen, large and small "Fu" words are pasted on the water tank, furniture, lintel and walls, that is, the ox cart is pasted with "peace in and out", and the ginkgo tree in the courtyard is also pasted with "the tree has deep roots" for the first time this year......

It took a second half of the day for Qin Lianbao to finish writing all the couplets, and when the Chinese New Year's Eve was posted early in the morning, the New Year paintings were hung, and the New Year lamps were tied, and the little boys and girls were not afraid of the cold wind, running up and down in the yard.

The elders all saw their eyelids jumping, but they couldn't scold or fight, so they had to keep the "account" in their hearts, and they forgot about it after the New Year.

Sichuan pepper stood in the middle of the courtyard, his eyes full of red joy. As soon as the full emotion appeared, he was dragged into the hall by the baying leaves: "Jiaojiao, let's eat a snack!" (To be continued.) )
