Chapter 69: Pretending to be a pig and not eating a tiger

The next morning, Shen Xi was bent on replacing the Spring Festival couplets on the door, and got up early and rushed to Hui Niang's pharmacy. β€¦οΌŒ

Hui Niang gets up very early every day, at this time she was cleaning up the shop, she heard a knock on the door, and saw that it was Shen Xi from the crack in the back door, and hurriedly opened the door, her eyes were full of questions: "Xiaolang, got up so early, did you sleep enough?" ”

"Aunt, I suddenly feel that yesterday's Spring Festival couplets were not well written, and others are afraid that they will laugh when they see it, so let's write a new one and hang it up."

After speaking, Shen Xi ran to the front hall with a smoke, and Hui Niang's voice came from behind: "What's good or bad, it's not good to hang up and change." But the man followed Shen Xi inside.

Shen Xi wrote the Spring Festival couplets again, this time he was much more careful, although the writing looked very good, but it was just neat.

Shen Xi opened the door panel and prepared to put on a new couplet, but saw that the shopkeeper Xu of the calligraphy and painting shop "Si Gu Zhai" next door was standing at the door, he was holding a Spring Festival couplet in his hand, and it seemed that he was about to post it, but when he saw the Spring Festival couplet written by Shen Xi last night, he was very surprised, and he was looking up to appreciate it at the moment.

"It looks like the handiwork of a calligrapher...... Mrs. Lu, with this masterpiece, why do you need to change the Spring Festival couplets? Shopkeeper Xu saw the text panel in Shen Xi's hand and asked in surprise.

"Excellent!?"

Hui Niang was a little surprised, she carefully looked at the Spring Festival couplets hanging on both sides of the gate, with her superficial understanding of calligraphy, she didn't know how outstanding Shen Xi's calligraphy was.

Shen Xi didn't have the heart to talk nonsense to the shopkeeper Xu, and when Hui Niang finished applying the paste, he took the stool brought by Xiu'er and put the newly written Spring Festival couplets on the old ones, but said in his mouth: "Uncle Xu's must be better...... We just feel that the writing is not good, and we are afraid of laughing and being generous, so we will replace it with a new one. ”

Uncle Xu smiled, didn't say anything, and then began to paste the Spring Festival couplets by himself.

Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the Spring Festival couplet, he didn't let his words appear outside for too long, if it was seen, it would not be easy to explain.

If it is knowledge that can be explained by memorization, then calligraphy really has to be practiced through accumulation over time, and he has just learned to write, so it doesn't make sense at all.

Shen Xi honestly swept the red paper left after setting off firecrackers at the door according to Zhou's instructions in the morning, and it didn't take long for the upper and lower eyelids to start fighting, so he simply went back to make up for sleep.

When it was almost noon, Shen Xi was woken up by Lin Dai.

"Get up, get up, there's something going on at the pharmacy...... Someone from the government is here, it seems that there is something wrong with the peach talisman you wrote last night. Lin Dai's little face was full of nervousness.

Shen Xi sighed in his heart, this has already been replaced with the Spring Festival couplets, will something happen? He hurriedly put on his clothes and trotted all the way to the door of the pharmacy, but saw that the outgoing Han Zhixian was accompanied by the shopkeeper Xu, and asked the yacha to remove the outer layer of Spring Festival couplets that Shen Xi had just pasted in the morning, and was admiring the words inside.

"Master Zhixian, look at this word, I'm not wrong, right? How can this word also have some attainments. Shopkeeper Xu said quite proudly, as if he had found some great treasure.

Hui Niang and Zhou watched from the side, and there were many onlookers on the street. The county magistrate came suddenly, and on the first day of the new year, there were more people on the street than in the past, so soon the three floors and the outer three floors were crowded with people.

Shen Xi sighed secretly, or negligent, when pasting the Spring Festival couplets before, in order to save paste, Hui Niang just smeared a layer on the outer circle of the red paper, so that when it was pasted, it was easy to be removed, and the handwriting inside was not damaged at all.

After Han Xie read it, he said to Hui Niang with satisfaction: "Lu Sun, your character should be the handwriting of a famous artist, quite the style of the four famous calligraphers of the previous dynasty, Su Huang Mi Cai Zhong Mi Nanguan, well written, well written." But I don't know who it is, can I ask him to come out and splash ink on the spot, so that the official can see it? ”

Minan official, is the Song Dynasty calligrapher Mi Fu, especially the line of cursive is the best, although Shen Xi's words and Mi Fu still have some gaps, but also quite charm.

At this time, Hui Niang was completely confused.

She saw it with her own eyes when Shen Xi was writing yesterday, although she looked at the writing a little unusually, but she didn't feel very good, so Shen Xi insisted on changing the words in the morning, and she didn't refuse.

However, in the morning, Shopkeeper Xu praised him vigorously, and now even the county magistrate is quite appreciative, and she doesn't know what to say at all.

Zhou saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "The county magistrate is on top, my child has only been studying for a few days, and the words can't be handled, the magistrate is probably looking away, right?" ”

The smile on Han Xianling's face suddenly froze, and he turned his head and squinted at Shen Xi who was standing at the door.

Although he is the magistrate of the county, and Shen Xi is just a seven-year-old child, but Shen Xi he can recognize, before Shen Xi made bellows to send the script, Xia Zhushu mentioned that the Shen family Xiaolang was a little bit of a ghost at a young age, and later Xie Duo went to Ninghua County as a messenger to inspect and control the plague, and Shen Xi personally demonstrated the pox, and he was present at that time.

It's just that he didn't believe that Shen Xi could write such good characters with the charm of a famous calligrapher and painter at a young age.

Han Xie asked Hui Niang, although the Zhou family answered on his behalf, but he was not very satisfied after all, and his face darkened, but fortunately, he could still maintain his demeanor. Anyway, his promotion this time has the credit of Hui Niang, so he won't turn his face on the spot.

In the eyes of the Han Association, the script and calligraphy and painting given to Lin Zhongye, who has now been relocated to the left waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, also played a lot of roles in this promotion, so I wanted to go to "Sigu Zhai" before leaving to see if I could take out one or two more treasures.

"Lu Sun, this official is about to step down from the post of Ninghua County Commander, and I wanted to gather the gentry in the county to have a banquet and say goodbye, but unfortunately Shangguan is in a hurry, I am afraid that he will leave within a day or two. I wonder if you can send this Spring Festival couplet to the official and let the official go back and take a closer look? ”

Hui Niang was a little relieved when she heard this, it's just a Spring Festival couplet, it's a big deal to write another one.

She hurriedly asked Xiu'er to reveal it, but Han Xie waved his hand and motioned to the master beside him to come forward and uncover the words, for fear that Xiu'er would rudely expose the words.

Waiting for the Spring Festival couplets to be taken off and held in his hands, Han Xie took a closer look at it and praised it: "It is definitely from a famous artist, what a baby!" Lu Huiniang, the official doesn't take advantage of you, and asks people to send two good Spring Festival couplets over. ”

Hui Niang hurriedly said: "No, no, if the county master likes it, take it away." ”

Han Xie showed an expression of "count you as acquaintances", and left the pharmacy with people, and kept bragging to the master about how good this character was along the way.

The onlookers talked a lot and gradually dispersed.

After the others left, the family returned to the shop, and Zhou glared at Shen Xi and said, "Say, what's going on?" How did you recruit all the county magistrates? ”

Shen Xi looked at Hui Niang, and at this time, Hui Niang also looked at him with a confused and questioning gaze.

Shen Xi looked innocent: "Mother, aunt, I don't know what's going on...... You also saw it when I was writing yesterday, and it was not taken from the outside at all, and the county master had to say that it was a famous handwriting, maybe he was dizzy and mistaken, right? ”

Hui Niang shook her head slightly: "It's reasonable for us ordinary people to not understand calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, but that's the old parents of this county, I heard that Han County Ling likes some things very much, and I bought some calligraphy and paintings from the shop next door before. ”

Shen Xi prevaricated: "If a person misses, a horse misses, or the county magistrate prides himself on having a high level of appreciation, he will look away." I really don't think the handwriting was good yesterday, didn't my mother say? ”

Zhou frowned, his face full of confusion: "Although I can't read, but looking at your handwriting yesterday is really ugly, compared to what you write on weekdays, I don't know what the county master thinks, I have to say that your yesterday is good." Or maybe he's a demonic barrier. ”

It was originally difficult to explain, but after Zhou's statement, even Hui Niang would be suspicious. In the end, Shen Xi was sloppy and said that she would write a new Spring Festival couplet and paste it, and Hui Niang would put it down temporarily, but after Shen Xi wrote a Spring Festival couplet that looked stable and neat and posted it, she still looked at Shen Xi from time to time.

If it was an ordinary child, Hui Niang would naturally not have too many doubts, at most she would be regarded as Han County's order, but Shen Xi's talent occasionally showed was too outstanding.

Hui Niang never thought that when the plague broke out, she could become the "goddess doctor" praised by the people through pox, and even be received by the imperial court, what a glory it is?

And the initiator behind all this is Shen Xi.

Hui Niang's thinking still has certain limitations, even if she has doubts in her heart, she just thinks that there should be a master behind Shen Xi, and the old gentleman in Shen Xi's mouth has become the only reasonable explanation.

Finally revealed the matter of the Spring Festival couplets, Shen Xi secretly rejoiced, he reminded himself that he must be cautious and cautious in the future, and he should not take it lightly at any time.
