Although it doesn't matter much whether it rains or not, the rainy weather and inconvenient travel will make fewer people come to participate in the Li family's ink test, so the effect of the ink test will be much worse.

At this time, Li Dalang came in from outside in a rainy body, handed the hat and coat to Du Shi on the side, and said to everyone when he entered the house: "I went to the county government just now to ask Tianwensheng, and it will still be such a rainy day tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

When everyone in the Li family heard this, they looked disappointed.

"Well, let's postpone it for a few days." At this time, Shao on the side said.

"No, in a few days it will be the Gongmo election. There's still a lot to prepare, and it's easy to delay. Li Jingdong said on one side.

Zhen Niang looked at the dripping rain outside at this time, in fact, the rain is not all unpleasant things, and she couldn't help blinking her eyes and said, "Then let's try the ink in the rain." ”

In fact, the rain here in the south of the Yangtze River rarely has the kind of pouring rain that affects travel, most of them are the dripping rain now, if you really want to travel, you can play an oil-paper umbrella, in fact, it is not troublesome.

It's just that now, the form of the ink test will be like that, charter a teahouse, invite a few celebrities, try the ink, and then auction the calligraphy and painting or something, this form is really a little tired of everyone.

In addition, in addition to inviting Ding Yunpeng this time, the Li family has no other outstanding characters, and it is not like the Tian family to have the Xu family as a backer, naturally, in this kind of weather, many people can come or not.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is time for the ink test to come up with new tricks, and the old ones can no longer arouse people's interest.

Zhen Niang knew that there was no chance to take advantage of it. The Tian and Li families competed for tribute. This is a hot topic in Huizhou. And now what the Li family wants to do is to use a new form of ink trial to increase everyone's interest and attention, so what if it rains?

Of course, testing ink in the rain has extremely high requirements for ink, but this time the Li family's Liuhe Sancai ink can meet this requirement.

Everyone knows the quality of this batch of ink, but how to operate it when trying ink in the rain?

The seventh grandmother raised her eyes and glanced at Zhenniang. Motioned for her to continue.

So, Zhen Niang said the calculation in her heart, which is actually nothing more than a propaganda method for later generations.

"Well, I'll see Cheng." The seventh grandmother and the old shopkeeper Li glanced at each other. Steward Shao, Li Jingdong and others on the side also nodded frequently.

So, in the afternoon of the same day, there was news that the Li family was going to test ink in the rain, and they had to sing a big drama before testing ink that day. The location is in the empty field in front of Lee's Ink Workshop.

And the idle man came to the door of the Li family's ink shop to see that the Li family was leading people to build a platform in the rain. Immediately, it was even more crazy.

The tribute competition between the Li Tian family is a big topic. Now the Li family has created such a topic again, and singing or something is what everyone likes to see. And so. The Li family's ink test meeting was stirred up in just one afternoon.

The next day was the day when the Li family tried the ink, and the rain continued to fall as inferred by the astronomical students in the yamen.

Two platforms were erected in front of Li's Mofang, one was a stage and the other was a stand. All rain-proof tarpaulins are used. Now, although it is not yet time to test the ink, the people who were invited before have come.

And those who are not invited are quite uninvited.

Come and don't be rude, the Tian family invited the Li family, and this time the ink test meeting, the Li family had to invite the Tian family.

"I want to see what tricks the Li family is playing this time?" Tian Er hummed with Erlang's legs crossed, while Tian Ronghua was wearing a bib and couldn't see the expression on his face.

At this time, it is not yet time to test the ink, at this time everyone is sitting in the stands to watch the play, today the Li family invited the drama gang is the Jiahe Gang, the Li family also spent a lot of money, and the Jiahe Gang sent two famous actors.

And the title of the play is "Good Fate".

And the so-called "Good Fate" is a story of a talented and beautiful woman, or made up temporarily by Zhenniang, the plot is old-fashioned, the characters are scarce, the plot is even more simple and pitiful, and there is a sour smell that can sour people's teeth, in the words of later generations, it is thunder, but in this era, it is still quite popular.

The approximate plot is that it was the Oiran girl who met the poor Xiucai, and the two fell in love at first sight, but unfortunately the poor Xiucai had no money to redeem the Oiran girl, so the two secretly corresponded, and the Oiran girl even devoted all her money to support the poor Xiucai to study.

It's a pity that the old bustard didn't let go, and even laughed and said that now the poor Xiucai is already a man, and the Oiran girl has long lost the fame of the past, persuading the Oiran girl not to be delusional, the Oiran didn't believe it, so she wrote a letter to someone to bring it to the poor Xiucai that night, if there is still the past feelings, it is convenient to meet at the Luoyan Bridge.

As a result, when the letter was sent, the Oiran girl couldn't wait for anyone to come on the Luoyan Bridge, and only when the poor show was discouraged, she was disappointed and discouraged and threw herself into the river.

But early the next morning, the poor Xiucai brought a lot of money to ransom the Oiran girl, but he ended up with a good fate, and finally saw through the red dust and became a monk.

Since Poor Xiucai has not changed his mind, why not come to meet the wild goose.

And in the end, the letter was spread out, but it was all black ink, but it turned out that it rained heavily last night, and the letter made the rain wet and became black ink, and poor Xiucai didn't know about the meeting at Luoyan Bridge.

So it became a good fate.

Although the play is not very good, the two famous actors vividly interpreted the Oiran girl and the poor Xiucai, and they really earned enough tears.

And at this time, the highlight of the Li family's ink trial meeting came.

A table was placed in the rain, spread out with silk cloth, Ding Yunpeng was dressed in white, standing in the rain, while the boy in black was grinding ink, adding a trickle, which itself became a painting.

And after pondering for a while, Ding Yunpeng began to paint, and it was also a fluttering attitude, plus he was only twenty years old, his name was not small, and his appearance was good, and he was immediately fascinated by the two stars of a girl and a young woman.

There is even the eldest lady who looked at Ding Yunpeng with the eyes of her son-in-law, how to say, this person has not yet married. I heard that it is quite famous now. It seems to have a lot of money for the painting. Now that the girl in the family is twenty-eight, such characters should be paddled into the bowl.

The wishful thinking of the aunts and aunts is not expressed.

Only between Ding Yunpeng's splashes of ink. One is the picture of the meeting of the falling goose bridge, the oiran girl is sad, and the other is the picture of the poor Xiucai who fell into the monk, the morning bell and the dusk drum, and the two pictures can be said to be a wave.

At this time, someone led Ding Yunpeng to wash, after all, the rain in March was still quite cool.

Then the two black-clothed boys in the ink workshop held up the paintings and showed them one by one in front of everyone.

"Ah, this Li Mo is very good. This painting in the rain, the handwriting is not mushy, if the scholar in the play just now used this ink, then how could it end up with a good fate. "It was a lady who spoke, and she was obviously still immersed in the play. At this time, he stamped his feet frequently and was annoyed.

And those who understand ink are even more surprised, although, as the ancients once said, ink is the best time. It doesn't melt in the rain, but to be honest. So far, there are almost no people who can really do this, but now, Li Mo has done it.

And then came the auction of two paintings, no one expected, the most desperate bidding is actually all women, and the price is a record high, zuihou two paintings actually sold for a sky-high price of 800 taels.

It can be seen that women's shopping has always been emotional and crazy, and I am afraid that more than half of the price is for the characters in the play

"Girl, this ink test will be done well." The third grandfather of the Cheng family said to Zhen Niang, and at this time, Luo Wenqian on the side was holding an oil-paper umbrella and gave a thumbs up to Zhen Niang.

Zhen Niang smiled a little embarrassedly, and then she was a little stunned at Luo Wenqian, this person always felt a little elusive, but there was also some joy between his eyebrows: "What did you come back?" ”

"I just got off the boat, I received a letter saying that the old man was sick, your father couldn't sit still, and the things on my side were arranged, and there was nothing else to do, so we came back together." Luo Wenqian said with a smile, but said lazily: "The faces of the Tian family are green." ”

People are in the stands, and this is obviously a play in the stands.

Zhen Niang turned her face to look at Tian Er and Tian Ronghua, Tian Er had a stinky face, as if anyone owed him 1,800 taels, and Tian Ronghua's sister's face should be under the bib. However, at this time, Xu Shi felt the gaze of the two, and at this time, Na Tian Ronghua lifted the scarf, and when he saw Luo Wenqian, he actually nodded at him.

As for Li Zhenniang on the side, Tian Ronghua didn't see it.

Zhen Niang was inexplicably unhappy, and couldn't help but glance at Luo Wenqian: "This is hidden under the hat, you can see that the green is coming?" ”

Zhen Niang's rare stingy appearance shook Luo Wenqian's eyes for a while, and then she grinned: "You don't need to look at it, you can think about it." ”

Zhen Niang smiled and didn't speak, and at this time Ding Yunpeng came over, and Zhen Niang hurriedly asked Xiaoya to bring ginger soup over. Then he took the Chinese patent medicine for wind and cold from the medicine hall, and told Ding Yunpeng to take it back, and let his subordinates drink two doses.

Originally, when I was thinking about testing ink on a rainy day, Zhen Niang thought about whether to change people, after all, it was raining, in case there was a cold and fever, this was ancient times, and if it wasn't good, it would cause a serious illness. However, Ding Yunpeng knew that after testing ink in the rain, the interest was even higher, Zhenniang forgot that although the Ming Dynasty was a time of etiquette, it was also a crazy era.

How is Ding Yunpeng willing to change?

At this time, Ding Yunpeng was grateful and wanted to take the cold medicine. Luo Wenqian, who was on the side, looked at the two of them like this, and his teeth itched intuitively.

He had been drenched in a lot of rain along the way, so why didn't he prepare any cold medicine for him?

This guy is completely unreasonable, who knows when he will come?

"Let's go, Brother Ding, let's drink, man, what's the rain, Mo is like an old man, a few glasses of wine in the stomach, then the cold is gone." At this time, in Hengli, Luo Wenqian stretched out his hand and slapped Ding Yunpeng's shoulder, but pulled him to turn around and leave.

The big slap was still slapping hard, although this was once a merry man, whether it was ink making or gold panning, it was all hard work, Ding Yunpeng was grinned by his pat, and shook his shoulders.

Zhen Niang couldn't help glaring, Luo Wenqian is making trouble, but her eyes are full of smiles.

By this time, the two had gone away.
