As the saying goes: think during the day, dream at night.

He Qi had a dream, saying that in the dream, the sky was clear, the sun was shining, the breeze was warm, He Qi was singing happily, walking on a glowing road, suddenly his foot was tripped by something, and when he looked down, it was a bundle of red Grandpa Mao.

He Qi's eyes were red in an instant, and he couldn't stop being excited, so he hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, he immediately took off his clothes, wrapped the bundle of Grandpa Mao tightly, held it in his arms, and ran forward with his feet scattered.

However, this road seems to have no end, He Qi ran for a long time, tired and sweaty, but never saw the end, which can make He Qi anxious, with a large amount of money, if this is targeted, not allowed to have a big incident, is worried, suddenly saw a big tree on the side of the road in front of him, there are two elders of the fairy wind bones in the game.

One of the elders beckoned to He Qi and shouted, "Little friend, you're tired, why don't you come over and have a cup of tea and rest." ”

He Qi somehow went, and the four stars on the chessboard had just been placed in black and white, and one of the old men said: "This little friend, seeing each other is fate, if you take the white child, play this game." ”

Of course He Qi refused, he was too busy at this time to be busy, so he had to find a bank to deposit money as soon as possible.

But seeing the two elders laughing suddenly, the one who invited him stroked his beard, looked at He Qi and smiled: "Money is something outside the body, Xiaoyou must not be blindfolded by money, I waited for the two to play for a long time, it is very boring, not like this, if Xiaoyou is willing to play this game of chess, I will send Xiaoyou to the place where the money is saved, so good?" ”

"It's a deal!" There was only a game of chess left and right, and He Qi readily agreed.

It's strange to say, He Qi feels as if he has opened a hanging, his chess strength has risen sharply, he could only watch one step at a time, but now he is one step at a time, ten steps at a time, and after a while, he won this game of chess.

This old man is very cheerful, with a wave of his hand, he immediately changed the sun and the moon, He Qi appeared in front of a money bank, stayed in the money bank, and took out a bundle of bright red Grandpa Mao, who knew that suddenly a team of patrols, loaded with guns, the leader had a black face, and asked sharply: "Which dynasty and which generation of money is this?" ”

"The old immortal is a bad thing!" He Qi knew that he was being played, and couldn't help but blurt out a quintessence, and in the midst of indignation, he woke up suddenly, knowing that this was a dream.

He Qi felt that he was really crazy about money, and he had such an unrealistic dream, which was really absurd, he laughed at himself and lifted the quilt and got out of bed, but saw the door open suddenly, and it was the dog baby who came in with a basin of washing water, and a towel on his shoulder.

"What time is it now?" He Qi asked, dressed in his clothes.

The dog baby smiled and said, "There is no rice." ”

He Qi opened the window, poked his head into the sky, saw the sun hanging in the east in the sky, estimated that it was about nine o'clock, hurriedly freshened up, pinched the only five remaining oceans, and prepared to buy a fountain pen.

It's just that Ruyi was wronged, and this weekend, I got up early, but I waited in vain all morning, seeing He Qi rushing to the front of the courtyard, and hurriedly said, "Sir, where are you going?"

"Oh! I went to buy a fountain pen. He Qi said.

"You have to go to a foreigner's store to buy it, and you don't sell it in ordinary places." Ruyi Road.

He Qi forgot about this stubble, the fountain pen as a foreign product, just came to China not long ago, and the price is expensive, ordinary people are still used to brushes, they don't need this thing, and they can't afford it, and He Qi is not familiar with Beiping City, so he asked: "Where is the foreigner store?" Far from it? ”

"It's in Dongjiaomin Lane, far away from here!" Ruyi pointed to the location in the east of the city.

Dongjiaomin Lane, He Qi has heard that after the Xin Chou year, the Qing court classified Dongjiaomin Lane as a foreign "embassy boundary", and all affairs within the boundary are handled by each country on its own, and the Qing court cannot ask about it.

In short, Dongjiaomin Lane is an autonomous region for foreigners from all over the world, and any novel foreign gadgets can be found here.

"Thank you, I'll go back as soon as I go." There was wind under He Qi's feet, and he didn't delay for a moment, and was about to go, but he was stopped again.

"Sir, you wait." Ruyi hesitated, bit her lip and said: "There are foreigners patrolling the entrance of the alley, ordinary people, etc., and they are generally not allowed to enter." ”

"What?" He Qi stared at his eyes, he was really shocked, to be precise, he was angry, Dongjiaomin Lane is the land of Huaxia, but he didn't let the Chinese people in, it was a great shame!

He Qi is a standard post-00, their generation, born under the national flag, grew up in the spring breeze, since they were sensible, they know that the motherland is getting stronger and stronger, and surpassing the old United States is just around the corner, because by 2030, the world-renowned big bat 20 aircraft lined up in a column and flew arrogantly over the Zhuhai Air Show, the 120,000-ton super nuclear-powered aircraft carrier 006 was launched, and the improved version of the guard 055 with a knife went down to eight ships, the most remarkable thing is that the "lunar exploration project" has achieved leapfrog development, more than 60 years after the first human landing on the moonOnce again, humans have landed on the moon, but this time it is not white-skinned, blue-eyed foreigners who have set foot on the moon, but yellow-skinned, black-eyed Chinese.

This proud achievement has made every Chinese deeply proud, and the improvement of the country's overall strength has given the people the confidence to speak hard, and it can be said that looking at the countries of the world, except for the old United States, the rest are insignificant for the time being. (The Cosmic Nation is not among them.) ）

Although He Qi is a bitter ape, he also empathizes with him and is deeply proud of the motherland, so when he heard about this at first glance, he was a little upset, but after a while, he calmed down, this is China a hundred years ago, the invasion of foreign powers, and the national strength is difficult, not the new China that straightened his waist in later generations.

"Hey......" He Qi closed his eyes, shook his head, sighed dejectedly, and after calming down, he looked at Ruyi and said, "Do you know where to sell it?" ”

"Is it okay to have a women's fountain pen?" Ruyi pouted.

"It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, it's a good cat if it catches a mouse, as long as it's a pen."

"Oh! Sir, you wait. Ruyi carried her skirt and went back to the room, and when she turned around, she took out a delicate red box, opened it, and contained a small red Parker pen.

"This was given to me by one of my classmates, and I haven't used it all the time, so I can write an article for my husband." Ruyi said with a smile and handed over the pen with both hands.

"It's not to write an article, or to write something casually and send it to the newspaper, if it can be seen, it's good to earn a manuscript fee or something." He Qi poured out in one go, there is nothing to hide about this matter.

However, the fountain pen is there, but there is no ink, it turns out that this fountain pen has the ink that comes with it, but Ruyi forgot to take it, smiled awkwardly, and turned around to retrieve a bottle.

The pen and ink are complete, the paper is complete, just to start work, He Qi sat in front of the stone table in the courtyard, filled the pen with ink, and wrote according to the draft that was typed last night: "The Qiantang River Haohao River bypasses the edge of Niujia Village in Lin'an day and night, endlessly, and flows into the sea in the east. There are dozens of black cypress trees in a row on the riverside, and the leaves are as red as fire, and it is the time of August. The weeds in front of and behind the village have just begun to turn yellow, and the light of the slanting sun has increased a little bit......."

This is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" written by Mr. Kim Yong Kim, and He Qi is familiar with this work, after all, I watched the TV series several times, and I remembered the beginning, which is not a big problem, but gradually, the more I write, the slower it becomes, and finally it took a long time to write a piece of paper, about a few hundred words.

"Writing novels, it's really tiring." He Qi said secretly, put down the pen, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and then turned his sour wrist, but looking at the dense words on this piece of paper, he still felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Sir, can you show me?" Ruyi has been staying with her, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Okay, but it's not well written, don't laugh." He Qi smiled and handed over the manuscript paper, the stinky daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, and she also wants to see the light when she hides and pinchs.

Ruyi saw the pen words in this hand for the first time, the force penetrated the back of the paper, the words were neat and pleasing to the eye, and then she frowned, because the whole article was written in vulgar characters, but it was acceptable.

"Vulgar characters" is the simplified Chinese characters used by our later generations, many people probably think that simplified Chinese characters are the result of later generations on the basis of traditional Chinese characters, the result of complex and simplified, in fact, simplified Chinese characters are ancient, there are a lot of simplified characters in the "Lanting Collection Preface", in the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, there are more people who use them, but they are not orthodox, not officially recognized, and in the new China period, on the basis of simplified characters in the past dynasties, more than 100 simplified characters were newly created, and at the same time established the orthodox status of simplified characters.

Therefore, He Qi writes in simplified characters, Ruyi can understand it, even if she encounters a word she doesn't know, you can know its meaning by contacting the context, and the vernacular style of the article is simple and clear, for Ruyi, there is basically no need to stop and think.

A page of hundreds of words, Ruyi read it quickly, but her brows never stretched, He Qi saw this, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" But it's not well written? ”

Ruyi shook her head, pursed her lips, and after thinking about it, she tactfully prompted: "Sir, it's okay with what you wrote, it's just ...... It's just that if you want to publish it, it's better not to use your own name, but to have another name, and if it's always unknown, but you wrote it, it's better. ”

"It's just a pen name, it's simple. But it is always unknown that I wrote it, why is that? I'm not writing a vulgar novel or something like that, so why don't I know it? He Qi didn't understand.

In these years, writing vernacular serialized novels will be despised by the cultural circle, if there are some people with a big temper, they can even say things such as "shame and companionship", vernacular texts are regarded as inferior crops by them, and vernacular novels will naturally be regarded as crops that cannot be put on the table, "Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Pie" is the best example, which is called a pastime and entertainment crop, not "literature".

Ruyi recounted the events here, and emphasized: "Sir, remember not to let others know that it was you who wrote it. ”

He Qi only understood what was going on, there was a chain of contempt, and it just so happened that the vernacular novels were at the bottom, Ruyi was afraid that she would lose her reputation by writing vernacular novels, so she said loudly: "Thank you for the reminder, but for me, it's not a thing." He smiled again: "I don't have the strength to stand and make money, so I have to bend down to make money, after all, it's just to make money, so I'm chilling." ”

While talking, suddenly a person, with both hands, strode into the yard with his head held high, Ruyi suddenly panicked, and in a hurry, he had to hold the manuscript paper tightly in the palm of his hand, and hurriedly booed: "Sir, Mr. Deqian is here, don't let him know." ”

"Ruyi, you are in a panic, what are you stuffing to prevent me from seeing?" Qian Xuan strode over, staring at Ruyi's pale hand clenched with nervousness.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing? Ruyi didn't dare to look directly into the teacher's eyes, so she had to lower her head and quietly transfer her hand behind her.

"Mysterious." Qian Xuan raised his eyebrows, and seeing that Ruyi was unwilling to show it, he no longer insisted on it, turned to He Qi and saluted: "I told Brother He yesterday that I can have time at noon today, and have a light meal?" ”

He Qi got up, bowed in return, glanced at Ruyi, who had been maintaining herself, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, after inviting Qian Xuan to sit down, she poured tea, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I have time to eat, but I have to think about it first, and I have to think about it first." ”

Qian Xuan propped his hands, took a sip of tea, and said, "Please have to consider eating, it's strange, what's the matter?" Just take it personally. ”

As the saying goes, if you are not a fellow traveler, you don't eat at the same table, if you are despised by Qian Xuan because of writing vernacular novels, then He Qi would rather not eat this meal, because there is no impermeable wall in the world, and sooner or later it will be known. ”

Qian Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "What is my Tao?" Brother He is afraid that he doesn't know my money, if he did, he should have gone with me happily today, where would he say such words. In the whole of Beiping, from the dignitaries to the horse traders, no one knows my money, and makes friends in his life, one does not look at the identity, the other does not look at the property, it all depends on whether it can be discussed. ”

"Brother He underestimated my money, and he will have to punish himself later."

"Hey, hey......" He Qi covered his mouth and smiled, glanced at Ruyi and said, "Take a look at your teacher, otherwise I will be upset about this meal!" ”

"Sir, this ......" Ruyi saw that He Qi was so determined, so she had to open her hand, twisted the paper into a small ball, and slowly unfolded it.

However, Qian Xuan seemed to understand something, the fire of gossip in his heart was burning, intensifying, his eyes couldn't stop swaying on Ruyi and He Qi, and finally showed a smile on his aunt's face, thinking: "It must be Brother He who wrote a letter to Ruyi, otherwise how could Ruyi be ashamed not to show me, and Brother He was afraid that courting my student would arouse my disgust, so he said such things." ”

Qian Xuan thought about it, glanced at He Qi secretly, and commented in his heart: "Let's see that Brother He is still unmarried, he looks talented, well-dressed, returned from the West, can speak a foreign language, a young talent is not a problem, although he is a few years older than Yi, but age is not a reason to stop love." ”

Thinking of this, Qian Xuan saw Ruyi again, and thought: "My student, a little daughter, shy and astringent, eighteen years old, is really like a flower and jade, and is in the prime of life. ”

The more Qian Xuan thought about it, the more credible he felt, and finally became very convinced, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bloom, picked up the tea, took a sip of it, and said with a smile: "Brother He, don't show me, I already understand what you mean, I don't object, but I can't do anything about this matter, you have to discuss it with Ruyi's father." ”

"Huh?" He Qi was confused when he heard it, and he didn't know why.

Ruyi heard it clearly, her face turned red instantly, and she hurriedly explained: "Mr. Deqian, it's not what you think......"

He Qi also understood, his face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Deqian, it's really not what you think, you can take a look first, and you'll know after reading it." ”

Qian Xuan showed a charming smile of "I'm from here, I understand", then took a crumpled piece of paper in Ruyi's hand, looked at it, and gradually, the smile on Qian Xuan's face stagnated, knowing that he had misunderstood someone, how could he be embarrassed.

Fortunately, Qian Xuan was thick-skinned, and after reading the content on the paper, he said loudly: "Brother He, you really underestimated me Qian someone, it's just a vernacular article, one cup is not enough, you have to punish yourself three cups." ”

He Qi's expression suddenly relaxed.

Ruyi let out a breath quietly.
