Chapter Ninety-Seven: Selling Spring Festival Couplets
"Shuaishuai, if you grab Tianchen's food next time, I will be polite to you." Liu Man'er said when she saw it.
Shuai Shuai pitifully returned the dirty oranges in his hand to Ye Tianchen, Liu Man'er really felt a little helpless when she saw it, so she said, "You can eat it yourself." ”
When it heard this, it devoured the orange.
"Go wash your hands." After it finished eating, Liu Man'er said again, this handsome man jumped a few times, and ran to the backyard.
"This monkey is really a sperm." Fang Clan was very surprised when he saw it, "And usually we can't move, it just listens to you." ”
"Haha, I'm its owner." Liu Man'er laughed, "You're just its shovel officer." ”
"No wonder, this handsome man really has aura." Fang actually likes this handsome guy a lot.
"Of course it has aura, our family is so smart, if it's still stupid, then I don't like it." Liu Man'er said with a smile.
With this little monkey, there is a basket of interesting things that happen in the house, but even if it is obedient, it is impossible not to make mistakes.
Because there was no place to make trouble, this handsome man ran upstairs from time to time, turning up and down, or playing with the horse, sometimes fighting with the two geese, sometimes running to the chicken pen and duck pen to play.
Once, the frightened chickens did not lay eggs for several days, and the angry Liu Man'er beat the culprit in front of these chickens, and the chickens slowly got better.
This handsome man sometimes steals eggs to eat, raw eggs, after stealing it itself, knocks it to pieces, and then licks the egg liquid inside, and after being found by Liu Man'er, he was beaten again.
After beating a few times, he was a little obedient, but sometimes he still went his own way, and Liu Man'er didn't care about it, anyway, out of sight.
It's just that she is pitiful of Fulu, and there are many more sanitary jobs because of this little monkey, and sometimes she will find that the clothes hanging in the yard will be inexplicably missing one or two, and she will look everywhere before she finds it in a corner.
On this day, Fulu couldn't bear it anymore and complained to Liu Man'er about its evil deeds, and Liu Man'er beat it again, and then told it that it should do those things and those things that it can't do.
She knew that the monkey had nowhere to go, so she asked the monkey to follow her, and sometimes she would ask the monkey to sharpen the ink and help him with the pen, and the more times she spoke, the monkey would do the same.
A few days later, Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng began to have a holiday, and Liu Man'er took Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng to write couplets together, and she asked Shuai Shuai to help hold the couplets and go outside to dry.
It just so happens that next year is the Year of the Monkey, and when the time comes, take this handsome and handsome to sell couplets together, and business will be very good.
Liu Man'er thought it was very beautiful, so she gradually taught this handsome handsome handsome to behave, taught this handsome to give the couplet to others, and also taught the handsome to take the bowl to collect money, every time she saw Shuai Shuai doing these things, Ye Feng and the others laughed without stopping.
Liu Man'er didn't smile, she relied on selling more couplets this year to make some money.
You can just make some floral peanuts and sell them again.
This time, Liu Man'er is planning to go to the county seat, and after selling all these things, she will take these children to take a tour of the county seat, and they must not have been to the county seat yet.
Liu Man'er didn't buy much red paper this time, and she finished writing it all in the morning, large and small couplets, and some small notes.
Liu Man'er decided to buy five small notes for large couplets, two for small couplets, and two for each penny.
Speaking of which, this ancient scholar is really expensive, but a couplet is so expensive to sell and grab money.
But what the people want is a celebration, not to mention, many showmen are proud of their high status, and they generally disdain to do these things to make money by writing Spring Festival couplets.
You can write Spring Festival couplets, you can practice calligraphy, learn about some classical culture, and you can also learn about the duality of Pingqian and make money, which is simply a lot of money.
Liu Man'er was afraid that Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng would be poisoned by this ancient imperial examination, so she still had to make this clear to them, and they thought she was just a person who loved money.
She told them: "A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way" She is considered to take it in a proper way, not stealing or robbing, and making money with her own hands.
Of course, Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng were both from the farmer's family, and they expressed their understanding to Liu Man'er, and said in a loud voice: "Sister-in-law, you think too much, we know." ”
"That's good, I'm afraid you'll be too careful." Liu Man'er said, "Then let's go to the county seat together tomorrow, and by the way, let you experience some people's livelihood, and the province's reading is stupid." ”
"Okay." Ye Feng immediately nodded in agreement.
Liu Fusheng was still a child, and when he learned that Liu Man'er was going to take him to play, he was too late to be happy, jumping and jumping, and he didn't know what happiness would become.
After discussing it, Liu Man'er asked everyone to put away these couplets together, put them away properly, and they could go to the county seat to sell the couplets tomorrow morning.
This time, Liu Man'er went to the county seat to bring Ye Feng, Liu Fusheng and Ye He, and also brought handsome and handsome, as for the grass and floating green, Liu Man'er asked them to take care of the house, she was worried that if so many people were all in the carriage, her horse would not be able to bear so much weight.
After all, Ye Yuan still went, and brought some peanuts, and when she came back, she would definitely bring a lot of messy things, she really felt sorry for her horse.
Fortunately, the two little girls of Fulu and Cao'er are also sensible, and they didn't make a fuss, Fulu was just a little girl, and it was nothing if she didn't take her, Cao'er was Liu Man'er's sister after all, and Liu Man'er told her that next time she would take her and let her go to the county seat with Ye He.
Cao'er said, "It's okay, sister, you can go, I'm very happy that you can take me to town." ”
"What are these words?" Liu Man'er said: "Isn't it the county seat, I will take you to Suxian to play in the future, you are at home today, my sister will also write a word for you to practice, and then you will help my mother do some work, help bring Tianchen, you know." ”
"Yes." Cao'er nodded.
Liu Man'er patted her head and said, "Be good at home, bring you something delicious." ”
Ye He also sat in the sedan chair, revealing half of his head from the curtain, "Cao'er, don't worry, we won't forget you, when the time comes, if there is anything interesting, I will also bring you a copy." ”
"Thank you, Sister Xiaohe." Cao'er showed a shy smile on her face, she really didn't care, she was already very satisfied with her current life, how dare she ask for too much.
After Liu Man'er calmed Cao'er, she said hello to Fang's again, and then let Ye Yuan drive away, it was very windy in winter, but Liu Man'er was afraid that Ye Yuan would be bored to sit in front of him alone, so she also accompanied him to the front of the car to sit.
Ye Yuan said several times: "You go back, such a strong wind." ”
"It's okay, I'll sit next to you, you can help me block the wind." In fact, Liu Man'er was a little cold, but she felt that sitting next to Ye Yuan, it seemed that it was really not cold.
Liu Man'er wore a thick cloak, a cloak and a cloak, and gloves on her hands, wrapping herself tightly, it stands to reason that it will not be cold, but the wind in this place is so strange, it is simply pervasive, and it goes straight into the human body.
Liu Man'er sat with Ye Yuan for a while, and when it was cold, she directly stuffed the soup woman who had been burned in the house into her clothes, Ye Yuan pulled her cloak open and wrapped Liu Man'er tightly.
Liu Man'er shuddered when she saw it, and said, "You're not afraid that others will laugh at you?" ”
"Don't be afraid." Ye Yuan hugged Liu Man'er and drove the horse on the one hand, so in the cold wind, Liu Man'er felt a kind of romance for no reason.
"It's even better if it's snowing." She couldn't help but say.
"It's cold enough, and you're still thinking about snowing."
"yes, if it snows, I can build a snowman in the house." Liu Man'er likes snow days.
"Then don't worry, it may snow in a few days." Ye Yuan said: "It's best to wait until the end of the year before it snows, when there is nothing to do, you can play in the snow to your heart's content." ”
"Yes, I suddenly feel that the snow is not good now, what if those flowers and plants in our house are frozen to death." Liu Man'er remembered this again, "When I go back, I will wrap those branches with straw." ”
"Hmm." Ye Yuan tightened his cloak a little, "You have a good idea." ”
"yes, I read it in that book, didn't I show it to you before, did you forget?"
Ye Yuan said helplessly: "My memory is not as good as yours." ”
"Yes." Liu Man'er thinks that her memory is really good now, she was dull in the past, and sure enough, God wants to return all the wisdom owed to her.
"You go and sit in the sedan chair, it's too cold outside." Ye Yuan said.
"Is it cold? It's because there are a lot of people on this road. Liu Man'er raised her eyebrows, but she still reluctantly got out of his arms and walked into the sedan chair.
As soon as she opened the sedan curtain, a cold wind blew in, and the children shivered in the cold.
"Don't be afraid of the cold, all young people, be a little vigorous, don't hang your head." Liu Man'er warmed herself up and preached to them again.
"Yes." Ye Feng nodded, but he still felt a little cold, this cold wind blew in from the leakage of the sedan chair, and it was cold.
Liu Man'er sat next to Ye He, hugged Ye He with one hand, and then beckoned Liu Fusheng to come over, and even Shuai Shuai jumped into her arms by himself, poor Ye Feng could only silently stalk his neck alone, letting the cold wind rage.
"I told you to bring two more pieces of clothing, but you did not listen." Liu Man'er said: "When I go back to the county, I will buy a cloak for each of you!" ”
"yes." As soon as Ye He heard that he was going to buy new clothes, he became happy.
I don't feel cold anymore when I'm excited.
Liu Man'er said to Ye Feng again, "Feng'er, don't be afraid of the cold, it's here soon, and it's only half an hour away." ”
"Hmm." Ye Feng nodded, "I'm fine." ”
"Come, my soup lady will give it to you, let you bring it without it." Liu Man'er said, handing the soup woman in her arms to Ye Feng, although Ye Feng felt a little embarrassed, but he still followed.
