Chapter 256: A Downlink
The lanterns of the lower couplet are hung at the door of a very luxurious restaurant, and there are more than a dozen lanterns hanging in a row, and there are no green bars under the lamps, so I can't see which one is easy and which is difficult.
"Let me see." Li Wenlan took a reserved step forward, first looked at the big lantern hanging in the most conspicuous position, read all over the couplet, and thought for a while, "...... It's easy, I've thought about it......"
"This young master is so good, and he is so talented, he is really like a fairy child in the sky." The guy guarding the door was very clever, Li Wenlan's voice just fell, he stepped up, opened his mouth to flatter first, and then said with a smile: "We have a few families in this area who ask for the next link, all of them are the same rules, I have to ask the master to write down this link, the master look here, this link is here, hang a row, we are learning the rules of the Great Xiangguo Temple, each link below, put a small bamboo basket, until tomorrow dawn, which piece of the next link collects the most copper coins, Ming'er and the upper link are engraved together, and it is hung in the small lobby, and it is hung for a whole year." What about this copper coin, how much to collect, how much more our owner will take, and send it to Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow to do a good deed. ”
The guy didn't seem to know how many times he had explained, he was articulate and spoke very quickly.
Li Wenlan looked back at Guo Sheng and nodded, "Okay, just follow your rules." ”
The man hurriedly spread out a piece of high-grade sprinkling gold millet paper on the table at the door of the restaurant, pointed to the pen holder full of hanging, and motioned for Li Wenlan to pick up a pen.
Li Wenlan looked at the size of the paper, picked a slightly larger pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote the following couplets on the golden su paper.
Xu Huan stretched out his head to look at it and praised it repeatedly: "The word Xiaoliu is very skilled, this lower link is good, and it is natural with the upper link, not bad." ”
"The sixth master is extremely talented in this poetry and article." Guo Sheng was a little absent-minded, looked around, followed behind, and praised a little vaguely.
Li Wenlan watched the two guys hold up the golden corn paper and carefully hang it next to the upper couplet, and under his lower couplet, a small bamboo basket was placed, and his eyes were staring at the bamboo basket, showing a little nervousness.
Li Xia looked at him, pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand to Qingguo, looked at the guy and smiled: "He is my brother, can I cast a copper coin?" ”
"Yes, yes, of course yes, this rule doesn't have your own relatives can't vote for this, if you change the small one, you have to give your brother a show." The guy smiled and nodded.
Qingguo reacted, hurriedly touched the purse, took a brand-new copper coin and handed it to Li Xia.
Li Wennan shouted softly, "Yes, why didn't I think of it, I also want to vote for the sixth brother!" ”
Li Xia handed the copper coin in his hand to Li Wennan, and he reached out to Qingguo to ask for one, and the two of them threw the copper coin into it one after the other.
Guo Sheng raised his eyebrows from the moment Li Xia asked for copper coins, and they fell quickly, secretly breathing a sigh of relief, he really guessed correctly, the girl was an eclectic.
Li Dong and Li Wenmei were a little hesitant, and were about to step forward, Li Wenshan stretched out his hand to stop the two, but before the words came out, he laughed first: "Don't follow them to mess around." Sister Nan, don't do this. ”
Seeing that Li Wennan pointed to the mother-in-law around him, which meant to order them to also have one for each person, Li Wenshan was angry and laughed, and hurriedly stopped it.
Xu Huan laughed, folding a fan and pointing at Li Wennan, "This girl, you are smart now, according to you, isn't it a fight for whose relatives have more people?" ”
Li Wennan was stunned, stretched out his head and looked at the small bamboo basket with only two copper coins, and looked unwilling.
A few guys couldn't laugh, and they waved their hands at Li Wennan and the others, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the two little ladies can rest assured, the word Brother Ling is very good, and there are many bright-eyed people in our capital, maybe after a while, this small bamboo basket will be full." ”
Li Xiaxiao's eyes were bent into crescent moons, pushing Li Wennan, and as soon as the group walked seven or eight steps, they heard a loud voice behind them asking, "How about selling this lower couplet, fifty taels of silver?" ”
Li Wenlan reacted the fastest, and hurriedly turned around, and the mother-in-law next to her was dizzy.
Li Xia also turned around, Li Wennan slowed down a little, and hurriedly turned around. Everyone turned and looked back.
I saw a middle-aged scholar wearing a moon-white brocade satin coat, the folding fan in his hand pointed to the couplet that Li Wenlan had just written, and the little man next to the middle-aged scholar was holding a large silver cake with a brushed and frosted cake.
Several guys were stunned, and it took a moment to react, and they hurriedly bowed down and laughed: "There has never been such a rule......
"Knowing that you are not the master, invite your treasurer out." The middle-aged scholar was very kind, smiled, waved a folding fan, and signaled to his buddy.
The guy hurriedly turned around and went in, and after a while, the shopkeeper in a lead-white robe carried the placket of the robe with one hand, trotted out all the way, and first rushed to the middle-aged scholar to the end, and then laughed and said, "I'm really sorry, trumpet ......"
"One hundred taels!" The middle-aged scholar motioned to the little guy, and the little guy immediately accepted the silver cake and touched a silver ticket to come out, "The silver number of the ancient family, redeem the ticket when you see it." ”
"Trumpet ......" The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, how can this person make trouble with shares, this Shangyuan Festival, since the prince Jiang took over the inspection, there is really no one who dares to make trouble on the street......
"Please also ask the shopkeeper to fulfill it." The middle-aged book ecology is extremely sincere, and he rushed to the shopkeeper to the end, "The proprietor took a fancy to this word of the lower link, and loved it very much, even in the capital, the proprietor is not an ordinary person, and please ask the shopkeeper to complete it." ”
"This ...... Not very conformist. "The shopkeeper hesitated, he is not an ordinary person in the capital...... In this capital, there are many unusual people, but he can't afford to offend any cow hair.
"There is no rule that it is forbidden to transfer, so let's do it, this hundred taels of silver, annoying the shopkeeper to change it into copper coins, all put it in the bamboo basket of this link." The sincerity of the middle-aged book is simply moving, "Mingyin, take another hundred taels, reward the shopkeeper and these people, and invite a few people to drink a glass of water as the proprietor." The hundred taels of silver that your shop wants to build will also be taken out by the proprietor. ”
The little guy listened to the words of the middle-aged scholar, and took out a silver ticket, then a silver ticket, and then another one, and with a few words, the price of this lower link changed from one hundred taels to three hundred taels.
Today, the street is full of idlers, who are not afraid of the excitement, but are afraid that there is no excitement to see, these few words, the door of the restaurant, has surrounded a large group of people, almost blocking the road.
"Since your owner loves it so much...... shopkeeper is an eight-sided exquisite, a look at the middle-aged scholar's inevitable posture, immediately sloped off the donkey, he is in charge of such a large restaurant, hundreds of thousands of silver is not how in his eyes, but he does not dare to force people to stay, this is no different from the good of people, who knows who the owner of his house is, but nine times out of ten, he can't afford to provoke. It can't be done.
