On the streets, there are few pedestrians.

When the exhibition contest was in full swing, Zhang San's coffin shop also began to be busy packing up.

Time was too rushed, and he couldn't find a suitable buyer for a while.

Therefore, these coffins and other special materials cannot be transferred for the time being.

In order not to delay the production of the new musical instrument, he decided to give these coffin items to others.

Everyone dies, and these ordinary people are no exception.

Some elderly people, and the frail and sickly, are even more prepared for a rainy day, wanting to prepare for what is behind them first.

So when the news of Zhang San's gift of the coffin spread, many neighbors came one after another.

They did not shy away from it, and began to talk and laugh and choose coffins.

However, when they saw Zhang San's wife and daughter on the hospital bed, who were thin and dying, they suddenly felt pity and couldn't bear it.

When they thought that Zhang San was relying on the entire coffin shop to support the whole family, they sighed secretly.

"Little San, we just came in a hurry, and we don't know what's going on. These coffins are all things that you can support your family, how can you give them away casually?"

An old woman with gray hair asked, leaning over.

"Yes, junior, we have been in the neighborhood for many years, and we all know the situation in your family. Now that your wife and daughter are sick in bed and need medicine to keep them alive, you send these coffins out, what are you going to do to take care of them?"

The old people who rushed to the scene also frowned when they heard this, and said worriedly.

Zhang San smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you uncles and aunts for your concern, I sent these coffins out because I was going to change careers and prepare to do other businesses." ”

"Do other business?Brother Zhang, your coffin shop is doing well, and the business is not bad, not to mention that you know this business, why do you suddenly want to change to another business?"

Several young men who came to help their grandparents carry the coffin were stunned when they heard this, and their faces were full of doubts.

Zhang San shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "This coffin business is indeed not bad, but it is far from being able to bear the medical expenses of my wife and daughter, so ...... I decided to change careers. ”

"Brother Zhang, have you thought about what to do? Is it still a timber business?"

Someone asked.

"Sort of. ”

Zhang San nodded, hesitated, and said, "I'm going to partner with others to make musical instruments." ”

"What, make musical instruments?"

Everyone was taken aback and said, "You have never touched a musical instrument, so why do you suddenly want to change your career to making musical instruments?"

The old people were also worried: "Yes, junior, how did you think of making musical instruments? This street is full of musical instrument shops, some of which have been around for many years.

Zhang San smiled slightly, with a touch of confidence on his face, and said, "The musical instrument I made is a newly invented musical instrument, and they don't sell it in those stores at all." ”

When everyone heard this, they were even more shocked.

"I said Brother Zhang, have you been fooled by others?

"It's like, what kind of new instrument is that, you just dismantled the coffin that you have been making for a few years, and you have to do it immediately. What if that thing doesn't sell?"

"Even if it's a new instrument that no one else has touched, who would buy it?"

"Brother Zhang, you can't be so stupid. My sister-in-law and niece can't be delayed, if you stop the coffin shop and have no financial resources, what will they do? ”

The young people's faces were full of anxiety and they began to persuade them.

Zhang San smiled slightly, after listening to the persuasion of so many people, and then thinking of the consequences of the new instrument if it could not be sold, his heart suddenly became a little uneasy.

"Ahem......"

On the ground behind him, suddenly there was a cough and a small cry from his wife, Zhang San hurriedly ran over and helped her sit up.

It was a woman with a weak body and a pale and bloodless face, she opened her haggard eyes, looked at Zhang San lovingly for a while, and then said with difficulty: "...... Xianggong, I am a woman's family, and I shouldn't have spoken, but ...... I don't think that boy will lie to you......"

Speaking of this, she smiled sadly, with a deep guilt in her eyes: "Even if this business fails, I am happy, without the drag of our mother, you ...... You're ......."

"Xiao Yun, don't say it again, no matter what, I won't give up on you two ......"

Zhang San's heart ached, and he hugged her weak body, tears coming out of his eyes.

His thin and trembling shoulders, under the tears of his wife, were still as thick as a mountain, stable and reliable.

Those old and young people all looked at them with tears in their eyes and shook their heads secretly.

"Little San, we don't want these coffins. The eldest lady advises you that it will not be too late for you to do it when the new instrument you said is really on the market and many people like it. ”

"Yes, little three, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family, you must not take risks if you are not very sure. ”

The old men sighed and persuaded earnestly.

The young men also said: "Brother Zhang, keep the coffin first, if it doesn't work, we will help you find someone and resell it, it's better than giving it away for free." ”

Zhang San wiped away his tears, got up slowly, and looked at his terminally ill wife and daughter beside him, his heart was like a knife.

Just when he was extremely conflicted about his wife and daughter, the street outside suddenly became lively.

"The exhibition contest is over! The top 10 are out!"

The people who watched the games in the seminary took to the streets one after another, and soon many people with excited faces appeared on the originally empty streets.

"It's wonderful! It's wonderful! The boy who won the first place is simply a genius, no, it's a demon! It's an earth-shattering demon!"

The hawkers were talking and excited.

"Is the exhibition contest over......?

When Zhang San heard this, he hurriedly ran out of the store, stopped several familiar vendors, and said nervously: "Brother Liu Kui, the exhibition contest is over?

That Liu Kui was very strong, and when he heard Zhang San's inquiry at this time, his face was immediately full of pride, and he said: "Of course, I relied on my uncle's invitation and took these brothers to go in together, and no one dared to stop me." ”

The old men and young men in the coffin shop also rushed out, and said with curiosity on their faces: "Is the game exciting? We were outside just now, and we heard a lot of movement." ”

"Nonsense! Isn't it wonderful? To tell you the truth, if you didn't go in today, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

A companion behind Liu Kui boasted.

Liu Kui was even more red-faced, puffed up his chest and said: "He is right, it's a pity that you didn't go in today! Do you know no, the boy who won the first place has three firsts, and three full marks! The ten judges, including the city lord and Lord Tang, all praised each other, gave him full marks, and even broke their heads to snatch the young man to their respective mansions as sons-in-law!"

"Also, the three works of the young man, oh no, are the whole four works, all of which are earth-shattering and cause visions of heaven and earth. Lightning and thunder, thousands of armies roaring, thousands of horses galloping, bees and butterflies flying, it's terrifying, it's terrifying!"

"In that seminary, his work has directly turned into a giant bronze statue, and I heard that it is a national treasure-like formation......"

Liu Kui's face was full of excitement, foaming at the mouth, dancing with his hands, and his eyes shining, as if he was the first boy.

"Also, the most frightening person is that the phantom of the former emperor actually appeared! and personally wrote the question for the young man, gave the young man full marks, admired the young man's amazing talent, and even said that he wanted the national teacher of our Xia Kingdom to accept the young man as an apprentice......"

Zhang San and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this, and their faces were full of shock.

"Hey......

Liu Kui smiled proudly and said, "But you can't even dream of how the young man answered." He didn't immediately kneel down to thank him, nor did he speak incoherently in excitement, nor did he have the slightest expression of surprise, but spoke directly and refused......"

"it!"

When everyone heard this, their faces were full of shock, and the old men were even more shocked and suddenly burst into foul language.

"That'...... What is that boy's name?"

Zhang San's face turned pale and said in a trembling voice.

Liu Kui thought for a while and said, "It seems to be called ...... Poplar...... Yang Ye, yes!

"That's right, it's called Yang Ye, a first-year student, and in the end, for that newly invented musical instrument, the whole academy was about to riot, and even the city lord personally mixed in the crowd to block him......"

Liu Kui's companion said with excitement on his face.

Zhang San was shocked, his whole body trembled violently with excitement, his body was weak, and he almost collapsed.
