Chapter 68: There is Yan Ruyu in the book......

When the group of people was almost discussed, Yu'er also stepped forward to join in the fun: "Uncle, you can write a poem and hang it in the store." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The crowd immediately chimed in.

"Pen and ink waiting!"

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Gu Ming immediately raised his hand and drank domineeringly.

For a person who has a complete collection of poems in his head, can writing poetry be called a thing?

Soon after, the pen and ink were ready, Gu Ming grabbed the pen and groaned slightly, and a song "Qingyu Case, Yuan Xi" walked the dragon and snake, and jumped on the paper:

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and the stars are like rain

BMW carved cars are full of incense, the sound of the phoenix flute moves, the jade pot turns brightly, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance.

The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”

"Wow~"

"Good~Good~"

"Wonderful~Wonderful~Wonderful!"

The last word settled, and the sound in the store immediately fluctuated, until it broke through the roof and went straight to the clouds.

Even Nie Xiaoqian, who has always been gentle, couldn't help but cheer excitedly.

"Smack!"

Gu Ming didn't know where to take out the seal and stamped it, and then shouted: "Frame it and hang it!" ”

"Gu Xiucai, are you going to sell this painting?"

Mrs. Su looked longing.

"It's not for sale, it's a decoration in the store."

As soon as he heard this, He Yongliang couldn't help but say with a calm face: "Then it's better to write another one, one is too monotonous." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, is it okay for my uncle to write another one......"

Yu'er couldn't help but pull Gu Ming's sleeve to be coquettish.

"Hahaha, it's rare to be so happy, then let's have another one."

Gu Ming immediately took the pen and wrote another word: "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book." ”

The content of this painting is quite suitable for the atmosphere of the study.

"Great, I'll go find someone to frame it now."

He Yongliang volunteered, rolled up when his handwriting was a little dry, and ran out of the store with a cigarette.

After that, the group came to the courtyard again and began to discuss on the spot.

The yard is two acres of land, which is not big or small, and there must be a good rule to maximize the use.

After discussing for a while, Gu Ming decided to make a major rectification and tear down all the buildings in the courtyard and rebuild them.

A three-story attic was built on the easternmost side of the courtyard, which was connected to the shop in front.

The ground floor of the attic is preliminarily planned with a hall, a meeting hall, a living room, a lounge, a study and so on.

On the second floor, there is a piano room, a chess room, a calligraphy and painting room, an elegant hall and so on.

The third floor is planned with a storeroom and bedrooms.

In the courtyard, there is no shortage of rockery pond cloister pavilions, and there must be a room.

As the saying goes, the house does not occupy the foundation, and the two acres of land really have to be planned, and they are small and exquisite.

It's just that such a toss may cost a few hundred taels of silver.

……

It's March 3 of another year, and kites fly all over the sky.

On this day, it is also the famous Yuantong Town Tongzi Temple Fair.

Yuantong Town is not far from Guobei County, it is more than ten miles, there are mountains, rivers and ferries, it is a beautiful water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The origin of the Boys' Club is based on an ancient custom.

There is a historic Tongzi Temple in Yuantong Town, and the incense has always been very prosperous.

Even many childless couples from other places come here, incense and make a wish, hoping to make their wishes come true and give birth to a big fat boy in the coming year.

Later, a custom slowly formed, and on the third day of March, the local squire presided over the boy squire.

At that time, the woodcarved boys who have been enshrined in the temple for several months and consecrated by the masters will be invited to throw them into the water for people to snatch.

As long as the rules are met, the person who finally grabs the boy will receive a reward of ten taels of silver.

After that, the destined person will be selected to give the woodcarving boy, which means "to send the boy".

Of course, what is said about "destined people" is just a reason, in fact, it still depends on who donates more sesame oil.

To put it simply, it is equivalent to an auction and bidding.

Although the proceeds eventually fell into the hands of the squires, it was still a rare event for the people of the town.

Not only is there a lively scene to see, but you can also take the opportunity to sell some food and drink, and you can make a little money.

In particular, some local sturdy men are even more gearing up, waiting to go into the water and grab the boy one by one.

This is also a rule that has been passed down for many years.

The people who went into the water to rob the boys were all local men, and they had to go through some screening.

Two conditions must be met: first, they have been married and have a son; The second is to be physically strong and not too old.

As many as two to three hundred snatchers go into the water every year, so the chances of catching a boy are not very high.

However, it is a traditional custom.

The important thing is that in addition to the ten taels of silver, the gold owner also has to reward the silver when giving the boy, as little as ten taels and as many as hundreds of taels.

For this large amount of silver, I don't know how many local men invent children at home when they have nothing to do, looking forward to letting their daughter-in-law give birth to a big fat boy during the registration period.

Otherwise, even if you sign up, you will be excluded.

The Boys' Club is held over three days, the second, third and fourth days of junior high school.

The main play, that is, the snatching of children, will be held at noon on the third day of the junior high school, but many people have already flocked to the second day of the junior high school.

After all, when the spring flowers are blooming, the right is to go on an outing.

……

"Wow, that's a lot of people!"

On the official road, Yu'er walked along the sedan chair, looking left and right, wishing that there would be a pair of eyes on the back of her head.

Gu Ming also followed suit, acting as a messenger to protect the flowers.

There were indeed a lot more pedestrians on the road than usual. It's just that Gu Ming has seen the prosperity of his previous life, but he is not surprised when he sees it, and his demeanor is leisurely.

"Gu Lang, I want to come down and take a walk."

Nie Xiaoqian was a little tired from sitting, so she couldn't help but open the sedan curtain and said softly.

"Well, it's good to come down and move...... Stop the car! ”

When the sedan chair man stopped the sedan chair, Gu Ming thoughtfully stepped forward to help the beauty get off the sedan chair, and took off the water bag on his waist: "Come, drink saliva." ”

"Hmm~"

Nie Xiaoqian took the water bag and took two sips before handing it back.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ming opened the stopper again and raised his head to take a sip, and deliberately smacked his tongue: "The water is so sweet!" ”

"You ......"

Nie Xiaoqian blushed and glanced at Yu'er in a panic.

Fortunately, this girl was glancing to the other side, and she shouldn't have noticed these details.

"Hey, hey."

Gu Ming smiled "honestly", stuffed the water bag and pinned it to his waist, and then took Nie Xiaoqian's hand and walked slowly.

Unexpectedly, Nie Xiaoqian seemed to be getting more and more energetic when she walked, and she no longer took a sedan chair.

Maybe it's holding hands and reluctant to let go, or maybe it's hard to get out of the city once, and I want to see more of the excitement outside.

Before I knew it, I saw the outline of Yuantong Town from a distance.

At this time, there are more people along the way.

Among them were two scholars...... In other words, it is a man dressed as two scholars, holding a folding fan, taking square steps, and looking polite.

It's just that his eyes glanced at the woman on the road from time to time.

One of them unintentionally glanced back, and his eyes almost couldn't turn back.

Because he saw Nie Xiaoqian.

"Ahem~"

Gu Ming was glared at, then he turned his head and coughed dryly, shook his head and said, "Brother Wu, such a beautiful day, why don't we write a poem to help the fun?" ”

The voice is very loud, as if I am afraid that others will not hear it......
