Bianliang City, East City.

The desolate place close to the root of the city, the loess paved road is full of messy ruts, there are often dung trucks out of the city at night, every time it bumps, it will spill some colored sewage, and the days go by, so that the whole street is filled with a pungent smell, so there is a loud title here - stinky street.

On the stinky street, there is a circle of adobe courtyard walls mixed with a few blue bricks, a faded old wooden door in the middle, two empty locust trees in front of the door, ten wings on both sides of the courtyard are crumbling, and the window paper on the window lattice is incomplete, which looks extremely desolate.

The five main rooms are neatly arranged, with seven or eight strings of red chili peppers hanging on the eaves, four walls, a bed, a table, a box and two chairs, pots and pans and other daily utensils, and a finger-thick rattan hanging on the east wall, nothing more.

Rao is such a humble house, and it took Dalianmeng to spend all his savings to buy it, and the hardships are indescribable.

At this time, Hua Da and his wife had to abandon it and leave the country again, because the power of their enemy Li Yan was growing stronger, which made them fearful.

There was a dim candle flame burning in the house, and Sister-in-law Hua wiped her tears while packing her bags and packages, she didn't know where this trip would end, but she knew that it would be difficult to save her life if she left late.

With a squeak, Hua Da pushed the door in, he just went to the teaching workshop on Jinhuan Street, and sold the last "goods", which was also his last business in Kyoto, and after getting the silver, he hurried home, and did not dare to delay for a moment on the way.

"Ouch, I said you hurry up, seeing that the city gate is about to close, why are you still grinding."

Hua Da complained, and wrapped a rag soaked in stone grease around the root of the candle, the stone grease was the most combustion, and the thing was sticky to the fire, and the rag was like a lead, and the other end was on the wooden bed full of bedding.

"I can't help it, although this house is broken, it is worth a thousand taels of silver, and I feel distressed when it burns down like this. Can't you put it off for a few days? At least a few hundred taels can be sold. Sister-in-law Hua said sadly.

"You think I'm not distressed, how many times do I have to do business to make a thousand taels, but, but that guy actually reuses Li Jun's seedling, you say, do you want money or death?"

"I want both money and life." Sister-in-law Hua wailed.

"Come on, come on, let's go." Hua Da snatched the package and hung it on his shoulder, and walked outside.

……

According to the description of the wind chimes and the guidance of his coachman, Fan Er soon found the stinky street, but unfortunately it was a day late, and the "mansion" of Huada was already in ruins, a mess, and the beams and trees burned into black charcoal were still faintly steaming.

"Burned, huh?" A coachman said.

Fan Er shook his head: "Aunt Hua is more thieves than thieves, can they be burned to death?" Let's go, go back and report to the adults. ”

……

Fan Er's side lost, but Li Yanei's side went surprisingly well.

Zhou Bangyan lifted the gift and glanced at it, and then got into the carriage of the Li Mansion.

"Brother Zhou, I have been looking up for a long time, I should have visited the meeting a long time ago, but I am entangled in official affairs, and today I abruptly invited Brother Zhou to come over for a while, which is really something to trust."

Li Yan walked into the living room, greeted him warmly, said a few words of greeting, and went straight to the point.

"Lord Li is really a cheerful person, if you have something to order, the lower officials will try their best to do it." Zhou Bangyan said respectfully.

"Sit sit, sit sit." Li Yan pretended to be puzzled and said: "Brother Zhou's masterpiece Li has heard about it as early as Yanggu County, and I really appreciate Brother Zhou's talent, but ...... Brother Zhou has been in need of money lately? ”

Zhou Bangyan was stunned, obviously didn't understand the meaning of the words, he thought that Li Yan invited him to write lyrics and songs, but now it doesn't mean like this.

"I don't know...... Why do you say that? ”

Li Yan smiled: "Li has no other meaning, there is no need to be nervous, but I saw a poem about Brother Zhou in the newspaper yesterday, and the signature was Chai Fu, so I have this question." ”

"Adults have good eyesight." Zhou Bangyan was a little embarrassed, and then said: "It's not a secret, the more money the better, the world loves it, and Zhou is naturally not exempt from vulgarity." ”

"Well, I like to talk to bright people, and it's really annoying to squirm. Li said bluntly, if Brother Zhou can make a good poem today, the price will be opened casually. Li Yanhao said cheerfully.

Zhou Bangyan's eyes lit up, he had long heard that Li Yan, the bandit leader of Yanggu County, was squandering money like dirt, and when he saw it today, he really lived up to his reputation, and immediately came to his senses, and pulled out his waist and said:

"After drinking a thousand cups yesterday, I felt it, and now I will write it to the adults, and please give the four treasures of the study."

"Don't worry, Li doesn't want this."

"Huh? Adults haven't seen it yet, why are they not? Zhou Bangyan wondered.

"Listen to Li tell an interesting story, and then ask Brother Zhou to write a poem based on this story."

"Oh, sir, please." Zhou Bangyan's face was slightly displeased.

Li Yan organized the language, and told what Zhao Ji and Meng Yulou did when they were cheating and what they said, and told them as they were.

Of course, Li Yan will not tell the truth, if he tells Zhou Bangyan that the person who cheated on him is Zhao Ji today, I am afraid that he will not dare to write it if he has ten guts, but will make up a name casually.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Bangyan smiled and said: "I don't think adults have such taste, presumably that person is you, right?" ”

"Uh......" Li Yan rolled his eyes and replied: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I guessed it by Brother Zhou, it's here, I don't know how many days Brother Zhou needs to think about it?" ”

Zhou Bangyan stood up, opened the folding fan, looked at the instep, and paced back and forth in the hall leisurely, and after a while, he suddenly looked up and said, "There is!" ”

"Hurry up and transcribe!" Li Yan said to a handsome "little guy" beside him.

The "little guy" walked quickly to the back of the bookcase, flattened the paper, picked up the pen, and looked at Zhou Bangyan with a pair of bright eyes.

"And the knife is like water, Wu Yan wins the snow, and the slender hand breaks the new orange. At the beginning of the temperature, the smoke of the beast continued, and the sound of the flute was relatively high.

Whispered to ask who to stay, the city has been three watches. The horse is slippery and the frost is thick, so it is better to go to rest, and there are few people. ”

Zhou Bangyan talked endlessly, in one go, Li Yan couldn't help but secretly praise, not to mention the quality, only this kind of self-confidence is not possessed by ordinary readers.

Or do you have ink in your chest......

Although Li Yan doesn't understand good or bad, some people do.

That handsome little guy is disguised by Li Bei'er, and her responsibility is to appreciate the quality of this poem, whether it will be widely circulated if it is published.

In addition, there is another point, the words must be meaningful, and it is necessary to clearly write what Zhao Ji and Meng Yulou did, so that Zhao Ji will know that he is writing it when he hears it.

Li Bei'er was also quite shocked by Zhou Bangyan's talent, and it was not easy to be able to make words in such a short time.

I think I'll be able to write better words than that, but it will take longer.

Generally speaking, it is passable, it is Zhou Bangyan's style, so he nodded slightly to Li Yan.

Li Yan immediately understood, and laughed: "Brother Zhou is so talented, Li really admires and admires." ”

"Can we talk about the price?" Zhou Bangyan asked.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Brother Zhou sit."

Zhou Bangyan Zou frowned and said: "Lord Li is not satisfied with this poem? ”

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

"Then why ......?"

"Haha." Li Yan took the paper from Li Bei'er's hand, handed it to Zhou Bangyan and said, "Please Brother Zhou sell it to Chai Fu Chai Yuanwai." ”

"What?"

"Yes, I heard it right, Brother Zhou can earn double money, but the condition is that you can't tell Chai Fu that I asked you to sell it, at a price of one thousand taels, is Brother Zhou willing to help Li do this?"

"A thousand taels?" Zhou Bangyan swallowed heavily.
