Chapter 47: The Peerless Triptych
Li Xiaojun didn't expect her to spread in the old courtyard in a short period of time with the method of the joint entrance examination, although it was Li Zhenli's name, but the circle of the old courtyard was too small, in the words of later generations, the people who begged for a living by the Qinhuai River were "not friends of relatives, or relatives of friends", and they couldn't hide things at all, so they already knew the inside story before she had time to hide her whereabouts - Li Xiangjun was going to come out to pick up guests!
It's not big news that the Qinglou woman came out to pick up customers, but it's really big news here in Li Xiangjun. Because although she has already made a name for herself, she has been involved with Hou Fangyu in the past few years, and she has never seen outsiders, and the only few appearances she has made are with her Hou Lang to participate in the literary meeting, and occasionally showing her talent is only limited to a small circle, outsiders have only heard that she is very talented, but they have never really seen her.
Maybe it's these occasional appearances that make these people flock to it, and now that I heard that she is finally going downstairs to pick up customers, the copper peas who have been here all the year round can't sit still, and they have come to visit after hearing about it. These people pride themselves on their talents, and they don't pay attention to half a small couplet at all, in their opinion, even if a Qinglou woman has read a few books, how much real talent does she have? This son has been studying hard since he was a child, are you still afraid of half a small couplet?
As for why the son-in-law surnamed Zheng in Quanzhou was stumped, it was not simple, what talent could he have as a little pirate, even if he worshiped under Qian Qianyi, how many skills could he learn?
The scholars were very confident, but they were dumbfounded when they saw Shanglian, because these couplets were all exquisite, which could be called absolute, and the scholars wanted to join them while clapping their hands and praising them, but as soon as they came up with a little idea, Zhou Bin and Xiao Wu began to make trouble. One moment they brought them tea and water, the next they asked them if they wanted to smoke, the next they reminded them that the time was almost up, and in short, they were as disgusting as two flies that had found fresh droppings. Where could the scholars stand such noise, as soon as the time came, they threw down ten taels of silver and fled, and when they thought of coming again, they found that Shanglian had changed, and all their previous efforts were gone.
Some scholars soon discovered the trickiness in it, and complained that Li Xiaojun used off-the-plate tricks to trick them, but Li Xiaojun was extremely thick-skinned and could always justify himself. These scholars were thin-skinned, no opponents at all, and too embarrassed to be rude to them, so they had to take out some loose silver and send them away.
Li Xiaojun was pitted by Zhou Bin and Xiao Wu, and was almost broken through, and finally had to come up with a killer idea:
"Enter the ancient spring and drink ten sips of white water."
"The bright moon shines on the screen window, and all of them are bright and bright."
"Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, the three towers in front of the Three Pagoda Temple, the tower, the tower, the tower."
These three couplets have been waiting alone for hundreds of years, and no one has ever come out of the couplet, her inventory is running out, so she simply played a scoundrel, and used these three couplets to embarrass them when someone came to the door, and it has been three days now, and still no one has come out.
Li Xiaojun not only amassed a lot of money by relying on this trick, but also made Meixianglou become the focus of the entertainment industry again, these days the old courtyard of the wine shop teahouse are talking about this matter, some good people also set up a gambling game to see who can come out on top, but when they thought of the "peerless triplet", everyone was deflated, and they didn't even have the courage to come to the door.
Seeing that the business was going to be yellow, Li Xiaojun hurriedly let out the words, in order to exchange knowledge in a friendly way, she would not easily use the "peerless triplet", and the scholars gathered again.
The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were too shameless, and Li Xiaojun was very depressed, but in order to earn money, he had to pinch his nose and continue to deal with them. Among all these people, Zheng Sen is the most active, he is like clocking in at work, he threw away no less than a thousand taels of silver in a few days, although he didn't even enter the second door, even Zhou Bin and Cuiyun and others were sad, but he was happy and never discouraged.
On this day, Zheng Gongzi returned again, looking at his somewhat lonely back, Cuiyun softened a little, and whispered to Li Xiaojun behind the curtain, "Miss, why don't you let him in for a cup of tea, you see how pitiful he is!" ”
Li Xiaojun was unmoved, pouted and said, "You don't understand Zheng Gongzi's character, he is a high-minded and arrogant person, and it is impossible to accept charity." ”
Zheng Sen heard the conversation inside outside, and he suddenly felt that life had lost its meaning, and he suddenly turned his head and said categorically, "The wise don't drink the water of the stolen spring, and the cheap don't drink the food that comes from the mouth!" The eldest lady is right, I, Zheng Damu, will never accept charity, I will definitely come in with my ability, let's see! ”
Seeing that he took the initiative to put on a top hat so interestingly, Li Xiaojun smiled inside, "Zheng Gongzi, go all the way, you must study hard when you go back, and come early tomorrow." ”
Zheng Chenggong snorted, pulled the angry Qian Sun Ai and left. Looking at the figure that disappeared outside the door, Cuiyun said pitifully, "He's so pitiful, Miss is so ruthless!" ”
Li Xiaojun glanced at her, "You pity him, he still pities you." You think I'm cruel to you to serve him, and see if he doesn't drain your bones. ”
Cuiyun stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak, Meixianglou's economic conditions gradually improved, and Li Xiaojun's prestige was also established, and now she can basically say the same, as long as she is angry, the other four only have low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.
After cleaning up the disobedient little maid, Li Xiaojun called Xiao Wu over and instructed, "Master is coming to teach music in the afternoon, you go to the street quickly, buy more meat and vegetables and come back to entertain him." Master likes to smoke, so you have to buy some good cigarettes and wine, so don't slack off! ”
Xiao Wu agreed while muttering, "Master Su didn't have such treatment before. ”
Li Xiaojun gave him a brain meltdown and scolded, "What do you know, he is my master, who do I not honor him?" ”
When he was depressed last month, only Su Kunsheng and Bian Sai sisters came to see him, especially Su Kunsheng, every time he came to teach music, he didn't come empty-handed, he was able to recover so quickly, he made a great contribution.
Not long after Xiao Wu left, Li Xiaojun called Zhou Bin to inquire about the factory site, but there was still no result, and she lost her patience, "Forget it, don't open the factory, just sell the formula to Yunjilou." ”
When Zhou Bin heard that he was going to sell his son, he was immediately mourned, "Miss, that's a recipe that can be inherited from younger generations, isn't it a pity to sell it cheaply like this?" ”
Li Xiaojun sighed, "It's a pity, but I need money now!" ”
Zhou Bin said puzzledly, "Miss, we have a lot of money in the past few days, how can we be short of money?" ”
Thinking of the dark days after entering the palace, Li Xiaojun's mind was a little numb, he glanced at him lightly, and said leisurely, "Just these three melons and two dates are also considered to be 'a lot of money', haven't you seen a lot of money?" ”
Zhou Bin hurriedly smiled, "The old man's knowledge naturally can't be compared with Miss!" ”
Li Xiaojun sighed, "Trying to survive in such a troubled world, I don't have a sense of security at all without a few small goals in my hands!" ”
Zhou Bin was a little stunned, Li Xiaojun didn't bother to explain, and let him go out after explaining a few words, Master Su was coming in the afternoon, she had to hurry up and review her homework, otherwise she would be trained again. The quality of traditional one-on-one teaching is very high, but there are also many disadvantages, in addition to low efficiency, you can't be lazy.
