After reading the first draft of Lu Zhizhang, he was born once and matured twice, Lu Zhizhang's ability to write stories has grown a lot, this guy also put his heart into it, and the response from the market is very good, which makes him very encouraged, so he forgot to sleep and eat, and has reached the point of being crazy.

A son-in-law like him, if there is no accident, he is afraid that he will eat and wait for death for the rest of his life, Shen Ao just gave him a chance to display his talents, and Lu Zhizhang realized that people can live like this, although they are exhausted, but they are extremely fulfilling.

The so-called frustration in love, career pride, Lu Zhizhang fell in, he couldn't extricate himself, whenever he received a letter from a reader, although there was criticism, but it was mostly praise, and his body was immediately full of strength.

It's just that Shen Ao smiled bitterly in his heart, if the Lu family in Hongzhou knew that the eldest young master had deceived the eldest young master into writing a manuscript, I don't know what the reaction would be, maybe they would gather people to scold the son, but it was okay, fortunately, there was a bodyguard by his side, and he met on a narrow road, so naturally Deng Yuhou was in front of him to resist, and his son went to call someone for help.

talked to Lu Zhizhang, encouraged him, and then stood up and said goodbye.

Lu Zhizhang was in a hurry to catch up with the draft, but he didn't keep him, and reluctantly sent him out of the door, saying: "Cousin, when the first draft of Journey to the West is finalized, I'll send a copy to you, you can help me take a look, with my cousin to check it, I feel more steady." ”

Shen Ao nodded, and stepped out of this messy room, always feeling that there was a big difference between the current Lu Zhizhang and the previous small chapter, hey, it seems that everyone around him is changing, whether it is Wu San'er or Chun'er, even this small chapter that eats and waits for death, and can't distinguish between grains and grains has changed, how can this sect be embarrassed?

When I went down the stairs, I happened to bump into Wu San'er coming upstairs, Wu San'er had just returned to the Yaya Mountain House, and when he heard Shen Ao coming, he hurriedly went upstairs, and when he saw Shen Ao, he suddenly said with joy: "Brother Shen didn't come a little bit." ”

The two of them have been together for a long time, and they have cultivated a tacit understanding, just a jaw and a smile, you can see many things, Shen Ao smiled: "San'er, the matter of the store has been negotiated?" ”

Wu San'er said with a smile: "It's done, this shop is in the outer city, there are many peddlers and pawns in the outer city, and the flow of people is huge, if you open an ordinary tea shop for people to rest, the business will not be bad." This is the third branch of our Ya Shan Fang, in addition, the printing workshop I also plan to expand some, in addition to ordering movable type tools from craftsmen, but also to recruit a lot of manpower, fortunately, last night Brother Shen sent those antiques, this morning I have sold them, a total of 8,600 yuan, tomorrow the buyer will send money. ”

Shen Ao said in surprise: "Sold so fast? You're not going to get it to the pawnshop, are you? ”

Wu San'er smiled, rubbed his hands and said, "Take it to the pawnshop, how much money can you get in exchange?" Brother Shen, don't forget, in our elegant mountain house, there are a lot of gentlemen who love to treasure and play, I took out the things, and the buyer found them. ”

Only then did Shen Ao remember that in this elegant mountain house, there were still many tea guests waiting for him to identify the treasures, and he was so busy that he forgot many things.

Shen Ao said with a smile: "That's good, I changed the money earlier, it's better than anything else." After saying a few words to Wu San'er, it was getting late, so I stayed for dinner, and the dinner in the Ya Mountain House was late, and I had to wait until the tea guests were gone, and the door was closed.

This article was actually proposed by Shen Ao, and the shopkeeper and employees eating together can enhance some feelings and increase cohesion. counted a few people, and found that everyone had come, but Lu Zhizhang was delayed, Chun'er smiled and said: "Lu Gongzi is such a surname, I'll go and send him a food box, he eats in the house, and he can think about things at the same time." ”

Chun'er found a few side dishes, added rice and put it in the food box, and went upstairs with the food box.

Shen Ao had a straight face, and said to Wu San'er: "It's not okay to go on like this, what's the use of doing it behind closed doors?" Teach him to come out and walk around more. Then he said: "Think of a way, go and recruit a person who can read and write to help him, a person is both the chief writer and the compiler, and it is difficult for him." ”

Wu San'er agreed, and said with a smile: "I also had this idea earlier, but I couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, after all, most of them who can read and write are not rare This bowl of rice, the price is high, and it is not worth it." ”

Shen Ao smiled: "What's worth this kind of thing, it's not a big deal to spend a few more dollars." ”

Wu San'er nodded, bowed his head and ate.

Chun'er went downstairs, Shen Ao taught her to sit beside her, everyone watched, Chun'er was slightly twisted, but she finally sat down, and everyone snickered; Shen Ao is thick-skinned and not afraid of being laughed at, but Chun'er is embarrassed, and the meal is quite absent-minded.

It wasn't until late at night that Shen Ao remembered to go back to the house, and when he parted, Shen Ao asked Wu San'er how to spend the New Year, Wu San'er smiled bitterly: "In this elegant mountain house, most of them are foreigners, we prepare some wine and food by ourselves, it is lively and lively, and the night will pass." ”

Speaking of which, everyone sighed, thinking of their relatives every festival, falling into a different place, and this moment is always the most difficult. Shen Ao's thoughts also drifted to another era, in that era, although he was only an orphan, there were still many unforgettable people and unforgettable things, sighed, and said: "Buy more New Year's goods, don't be afraid to spend money, it's rare to be happy once a year, to live better than other families, to live more abundantly than other families, as long as we are people in the Yashan House, we will be relatives and brothers and sisters in the future, and we must support each other." ”

Everyone said: "Shen Gongzi is right, when we come here, we are all relatives." "It's that someone's tears are coming out, usually Shen Gongzi's mouth is slippery, why did he say such touching words today.

In fact, it wasn't that Shen Ao's words moved, but that this sentence was just appropriate. Shen Ao's eyes fell on Chun'er, a pair of eyes looked at her deeply, and said in a low voice: "Chun'er, you should rest when you should rest, don't get tired." ”

"Hmm!" In front of everyone, Chun'er was speechless, her misty eyes rose, and she happened to meet Shen Ao's scorching eyes, and she was in a trance for a while.

"Shen Gongzi, let's go, if you don't leave, there will be a curfew again." Deng Long outside carried a lantern and urged repeatedly.

Shen Ao smiled, leaving a back shadow, which disappeared into the night with the light of the lantern.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………… In the cold winter wax moon, another heavy snow fell down, the snowflakes were not big, but they were all raised to cover the sight, and as far as the eye could see, the distant scenery became blurred.

Shen Ao put on his robes, Zhou Heng and Deng Long each went out with wine and bacon, and went to the mansion of Tang Sacrifice Wine.

Zhou Heng said that he was quite interested, and he heard that Deng Long knew how to use swordsmanship, so he asked all the way, Deng Long rarely encountered a chance to brag, boasted about himself, and described himself as a lone ranger who walked the rivers and lakes.

Shen Ao just laughed all the way, not revealing Deng Long's tricks, and when he arrived at the Tang Mansion, Shen Ao found that the mansion where this Tang Lord lived was not the same as he imagined.

There is no carved beams and painted buildings, there is no high wall pavilion, just a lonely small courtyard, the courtyard is in full bloom, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and the snowflakes are piled up on the fence, which is beautiful in an instant.

went to call the door, Tang Yan came out wearing a jacket, and when he saw Shen Ao for the first time, he was overjoyed, and while opening the door, he deliberately complained: "Such a cold winter wax moon, you are really messing around, just have this intention, why do you need to come in person, to the end, send someone to run a trip, send a famous post, the old man will be satisfied, if he is frozen, how can he read this book?" ”

said so, but his face was red, and he was very happy.

Shen Ao gave wine and bacon, and said, "Lord Tang, a meager gift, please smile, this is the student's heart." ”

Zhou Heng also hurriedly sent the gift; These gifts are all common things for ordinary filial piety to the master, Tang Yan accepted them unceremoniously, and said with a smile: "Come, go into the inner room and sit, it's very cold here, don't freeze your body." ”

dragged Shen Ao and Zhou Heng into the east wing, but Deng Long was pushed aside, Deng Long was speechless and followed abruptly.

Entered the east wing, this room is not big, it should be a bedroom, but it has been changed into a small hall, there are not many ornaments in the hall, but a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall aroused Shen Ao's interest, taking advantage of Tang Yan's efforts to make tea, he walked to the wall with his hand to see, with a smile on his face, Shen Ao slowly said: "The wind is flying white flocculent, crystal clear ice flowers." The snow presses the branches to reflect the white snow, and the frost welcomes the cold plum blossoms. ”

This poem is obviously Tang Yan's handwriting, and the poem is not bad, but well, in terms of Tang Yan's identity, this poem is not a top-grade masterpiece. Shen Ao immediately thought about it, and suddenly understood, Tang Yan was not hanging a poem, but his state of mind, Lamei is known for his cleanliness, and Lord Tang calls himself Lamei, which is to show his attitude towards life, I didn't expect that Lord Tang, who was usually fighting with Taixue, was actually an elegant man with two sleeves and a clean breeze, which made Shen Ao look down on him.

Zhou Heng came over and saw Shen Ao staring intently at this calligraphy, and couldn't help asking, "Cousin, what's so beautiful about this poem?" As he spoke, he suddenly paused again, changed into a mysterious look and said, "Shhhhhh Wow, could it be Mrs. Tang? ”
