Chapter 149: Selling Couplets

After Wan Xuan finished reading the grain shop, it was still early, and the ancient shopkeeper asked her if she would go to Fucheng to see the fat powder shop, as well as Zhuangzi and the workshop.

Weak Xuan refused: "No, those are not in a hurry, just buy them directly." I'm going to see if my uncle and second brother have finished selling couplets, and then they'll go home! ”

The grain shop needs to be renovated, so she came to take a look.

After reading it, after listening to Zhang Qian's opinions, she already knew how to transform and decorate this study.

Among the children, Zhang Qian is the most frequent to visit the bookstore, and he says that he is the most practical, and he writes them down.

Zhang Qian listened and said: "It just so happens that the house hasn't bought a couplet yet, let's go see if there is a suitable one." ”

Zhang Liankou was straightforward: "Didn't the couplets in the eldest brother's mansion be written by you and your father in previous years?" ”

Zhang Qian: "My father is busy this year, I'm afraid I don't have time to write, or this year's second brother, my little sister and I write together?" ”

He always felt that the ink used in the books copied by the weak family was different from that of others, and the fragrance of ink could make people think quickly and relaxed, as if with a magical power.

He had an intuition in his heart, and the couplets of the weak were not the same.

Zhang Jiecai didn't write: "My father is so busy this year, and my eldest brother is also preparing to end next year, how can I have time to write couplets?" Second brother, if you don't buy it, you can write it! I wouldn't have written it anyway! ”

When Zhang Lian heard this, he immediately said: "Then let's buy it!" ”

What are you kidding, his dog-like words, let him write the couplet? His father saw it in and out every day, and he must be so angry that he let him practice calligraphy every day, and he won't want to have a good life next year!

Weak Xuan: "What kind of couplet does Brother Qian want, you don't need to buy it, you can take it directly when you like it." If you don't like it, Brother Qian told me what kind of couplet I wanted, and I asked my father to write it for you, no silver. ”

Zhang Qian smiled: "I don't have any requirements, the weak fourth uncle is brilliant, and his writing must be better than I thought." ”

Zhang Lian couldn't help but complain: "Aren't the couplets all those?" Still talking about literary style? ”

Zhang Jie glared at him: "Second brother doesn't speak, no one is dumb for you!" You can't memorize a thousand words, of course you don't pay attention to literary style! ”

Zhang Lian glared: "I can't carry it, can you carry it?" I'm afraid you won't be able to memorize all the words on the couplet! ”

In the quarrel between the two brothers and sisters, they went to the stall selling couplets in Weak Chuan.

At this time, the two baskets of couplets were almost sold out, and only a few couplets were left on the rope, and those couplets were all being negotiated.

"There are only a few pairs left, and they don't have to choose, and they have been hanging for a long time, can it be cheaper, two pennies a pair, sell a pair to me." A middle-aged woman was reluctant to let go of the couplet, and she didn't know why she looked at this couplet, but she was reluctant to let go.

The other two guests also said: "Yes, there are only a few pairs left, you are cheaper, I will buy three pairs!" ”

"It's cheaper, I'll buy two pairs, isn't this just sold out?"

Weak Chuan insisted: "Four cents for a pair, the cheapest, it can't be cheaper, I have been selling for five cents this morning." These pairs are cheap because I plan to sell them out and go home quickly. ”

Weak Xuan approached to help and said: "A few aunts, you see how well we write this couplet, the red paper is the best red paper, the ink is the best Hui ink, and even the water for grinding ink is also soaked in osmanthus water, you smell the ink fragrance, but also with a burst of osmanthus fragrance, just want to use the best red paper, the best ink, the old folks paste a new couplet, to ensure that in the new year, prosperous, auspicious, prosperous!" ”

Xuanyuan Que glanced at the couplets, and then at Weak Xuan.

This flower even casts a little fairy spell on the couplet, so that the person who buys it back can improve their luck and help them realize their wishes more easily.

In order to make money, she really worked hard!

Weak Xuan smiled weakly at Shang Xuanyuan Que's gaze, and said silently: "This little immortal technique is only useful for people with good hearts, it doesn't matter, right?" Heaven won't punish me, will it? I'm doing a good deed! Good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, I'm helping God, right? ”

Xuanyuan Que gave her an indifferent look and let her understand for herself.

It's getting bolder, does God need her to be nosy?

Obviously, he wanted to make money, but this little immortal technique could only be realized by people with good intentions, so he didn't care about her.

The stall owner next door couldn't help but say loudly at this time: "A pair of couplets!" Three texts and one pair! There are many couplets with good meanings to choose from, and you can have any couplets you want! Only a pair of pennies is required! Three texts and one pair! Come and choose, come and choose! ”

The stall next door set up a stall with Weak Chuan in the morning, and in the morning, the father and son only watched Weak Chuan sell a pair of couplets, two baskets of couplets, a basket of window flowers, a bunch of New Year's paintings and the like were sold out at once, and they had only sold a few pairs earlier, and they couldn't help but be anxious at this time.

As soon as he shouted like this, several people turned their heads and glanced at the couplet in the stall next door, the color of the red paper was not as red as this one, and the handwriting was not as good as this one, so they were a little disgusted.

Zhang Lian saw that someone was robbing the business, and immediately said loudly: "How many couplets do you want to buy?" If you don't buy it, I'll want it all! Walking down this street, I found that this couplet is the best. ”

At this time, someone was also passing by, and at a glance they were attracted by the hanging couplet, and couldn't help but say: "How much is a pair of couplets?" I'm going to do it all! ”

Zhang Jie immediately said: "There are only a few pairs of four texts written on high-quality red paper, and I will go home after selling them!" ”

"Okay! I've read so many couplets, and yours writes the best, and the red paper you use is good, help me roll it up! I want them all. ”

The few guests who originally wanted to negotiate the price took out copper plates one after another when they heard this: "Siwen, right?" Here, roll it up for me! ”

"I want all three, Twelve! Here, hurry up and help me roll it up, I'm in a hurry to go home and cook. ”

"It's eight cents, help me roll it up!"

The weak sail and the weak ship hurriedly took down the couplet for the guests and rolled it up.

All of a sudden, the remaining couplets were bought.

Weak Chuan said apologetically: "I'm sorry, these pairs are what these aunts like, today's couplets are sold out, if the guest officer wants it, come back tomorrow!" ”

The stall owner next door hurriedly greeted: "Guest officer, I have it here!" I have many couplets here, you can choose from them! ”

The guest glanced at the one next door, and asked Weak Chuan again: "We will be empty tomorrow, will we still come to set up a stall the day after tomorrow?" ”

Weak Chuan: "Come, come, I will set up a stall for the next few days until the day before Chinese New Year's Eve!" ”

The guest was relieved when he heard this: "Okay, I'll come back the day after tomorrow!" ”

Weak Chuan smiled: "Okay, I will definitely leave a few pairs for the guest officer at that time." ”

The guest nodded and left.

Seeing this, Zhang Qian took his younger siblings and left.

Zhang Jie couldn't help but say before leaving: "Xuanbao, are you coming tomorrow?" If you come tomorrow, I'll help you sell couplets! ”

"Okay!" Weak Xuan should go down.

"That's a word!" She thinks it's fun to sell couplets.

After selling the couplet, Weak Chuan cleaned up the stall and went to buy more red paper to go home, and the red paper at home didn't know the second brother, the fourth brother had finished writing, he thought about going to Fucheng to sell it again in the afternoon.

Weak Xuan felt that she had missed a lot of customers by closing the stall so early, so she said, "Uncle, let my father and second uncle enter the city together in the unknown day!" They write on the side, you sell on the side. ”

Weak Chuan's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea!" ”

Sell while writing, and you can sell for a whole day!
