Chapter 105: The Breath of Mortal Dust
Chapter 105: The Breath of Mortal Dust
Wine is indeed a good wine, sour, sweet, spicy, with the fragrance of fruits, and a sweet aftertaste, so since this day, if there is no fruit wine to send, Chen Changsheng will always feel that something is missing.
So in the next few months, Xie Xiaoyu's study time also changed from morning to evening, and after he always brought a small bottle of fruit wine, Chen Changsheng would take a big sip by himself, and then give a small sip to the little fox who was so anxious to scratch his cheeks and scream, and then under normal circumstances, the little fox would never drink three sips, and he would run back to the back room in a daze, lie on the bed and start sleeping.
At this time, the green snake will always wrap around Chen Changsheng's arm, and the little head will always take advantage of Chen Changsheng's lack of attention, reaching into the wine bottle, but the green snake always can't get drunk no matter how much he drinks, sometimes Chen Changsheng himself only drinks a few small glasses, and then when teaching Xiao Yu calligraphy, the green snake will always can't help but drink a whole bottle of fruit wine, of course, it is not drunk, and I don't know if it will have indigestion in such a slender body, filled with fruit wine.
In Chen Changsheng's shop, there were slowly many more couplets, some of which were taken by Xie Xiaoyu for him to teach, and some were when he taught Xie Xiaoyan, a couplet inexplicably appeared in his mind, and then he wrote it down.
It's just that although there are more and more couplets, only one pair of words is sold, and that pair of words is hanging on the breakfast stall opposite, and it can be seen every day.
Chen Changsheng didn't care about the fact that he hadn't sold words for a few months, he probably knew how much a meal cost now, and the money from selling porcelain bottles in his room was enough for him to eat for a long time, so he wasn't in a hurry at all, he wasn't in a hurry, Xie Damiang and Xie Dashi were anxious for him, but it was useless for the two of them to sell breakfast for this kind of cultural person's things.
But although it's a fart people, it's not that there is no way at all, no, they have already asked their third uncle to come over, but these months happen to be this year's township test is imminent, although Xie Xiaoyu will not participate until next year, but there are several students in their third uncle's private school who participated this year, naturally, there is no time to hang out here, of course, the most important thing is that their third uncle does not think that the son of the rich and noble family in distress can write any good words, so why waste this precious time now.
Therefore, over the course of several months, the couplets naturally accumulated more and more, and they filled the store, but there was not a single one in the store. Xiaoyu's breakfast stall is still like this, and he can earn more than 100 copper coins a day, Xie Dashi and his wife are still unchanged, enthusiastic and enthusiastic, honest and honest.
The biggest change is Chen Changsheng, in the words of Aunt Xie, Changsheng is becoming more and more popular.
In the morning, Chen Changsheng will also get up early now, after washing properly, holding a little fox in his arms, with a small green snake wrapped around his arm, Shi Shiran came to Xiaoyu's breakfast stall, waiting for Xie Dashi to send food, and then a person, a fox, and a small snake will eat up the food that comes from the wind.
Before leaving, Chen Changsheng would take the initiative to say hello to Aunt Xie before putting down the money and leaving.
During the day, he either looked at the few pedestrians outside the store with an indifferent face, or stayed in the store to write couplets, but most of the time, he squinted his eyes on the chaise longue and basked in the sun, of course, sometimes even if his eyes were open, his eyes were empty and abnormal, as if he was in a daze or in a daze.
In the evening, Xie Xiaoyu would always bring a small bottle of fruit wine, like a little adult, to give Chen Changsheng a gift. In the first month, Chen Changsheng just wrote a picture by himself, and then put it on the desk, and didn't speak, how much Xie Xiaoyu could learn, how much, it was equivalent to not teaching.
But fortunately, in this last month, Chen Changsheng seems to have a little more popularity as Aunt Xie said, and he will also point out how Xie Xiaoyu can better hold the pen and correct some of his writing skills, although most of the time it is just a few concise words, but for Xie Xiaoyu, it is a huge help, especially recently, calligraphy has improved by leaps and bounds.
Early in the morning of this day, as usual, Chen Changsheng returned to his shop after having breakfast at Xiaoyu's breakfast stall, and sat at the door of the store in a daze.
In the past few days, Aunt Xie has been muttering in his ear all day long, saying that now Yunmengze lotus flowers are blooming all over the place, which is extremely beautiful, and as long as you watch it on the shore and don't go down to the lake, those water monsters can't help it, no, now not only the residents of Yunmeng Town will go early every day to occupy a position to enjoy the flowers, and even the residents of many surrounding towns will come here, and even people in the capital have come for this.
"Do you want to take a look?" Chen Changsheng held the little white fox with one hand and stroked its smooth fur with the other, and he didn't know if it was because he ate well every day, the little white fox's hair became more and more smooth, and even faintly revealed a little silver light.
"Huh......" The little white fox just moaned comfortably, naturally not answering Chen Changsheng's words.
Chen Changsheng was a little difficult to decide, so he couldn't help but pick up the little white fox and put it on the desk, and by the way, he also took the little green snake off his arm and put it in a row with the little white fox.
Looking at the puzzled eyes of the two little guys, Chen Changsheng repeated what he had just said: "Yingying, Sisi, do you want to go to Yunmengze to play." ”
"Huh......" The little white fox replied very indifferently lying on his stomach, meaning casual.
"Silk ...... The little green snake nodded happily ...... the little green snake and obviously wanted to go.
"Hey, okay, let's go. Chen Changsheng nodded dispensably.
Just as Chen Changsheng was about to close the shop and go to Yunmengze, an old man with silver hair, a body that looked very tough, and an old man wearing a Confucian shirt entered the store, his eyes Qiongqiong looked at Chen Changsheng attentively, and looked at it carefully for a while before saying: "The old man is Xie Dashi's third uncle Xie An, and the little brother is Chen Changsheng, who has first-class calligraphy in my family's Dashi." ”
"Exactly. Chen Changsheng said indifferently.
"Very good!" Xie An nodded with a smile and began to look at the couplet hanging in the store.
Chen Changsheng watched patiently as the old man read all the couplets hanging in the entire store, and he didn't make a sound to entertain, as if he was also a guest, without the taste of a businessman.
After Xie An looked around, the smile on his face became thicker and thicker, and he looked at Chen Changsheng's gaze more and more appreciatively, and said, "How many of these couplets are there." ”
Chen Changsheng said indifferently: "Just look at it." ”
The old man laughed, patted Chen Changsheng's shoulder, and said: "The word is really a wonderful word, if you go to the capital, with this word, it will inevitably cause a sensation in Beijing, although the old man is just a small talent, but he also has classmates and friends in Beijing, do you want the old man to introduce you to one or two, go to Beijing to develop." ”
Chen Changsheng shook his head expressionlessly and said, "Don't go." ”
Hearing Chen Changsheng's decisive answer, Xie An was also stunned, but he was only stunned, after all, he had not seen Yashi in the mountains and rivers.
Xie An said at this time, "Your handwriting is good, but no matter how good the handwriting is, it won't work if you don't have a little literary talent, so let's do it, it just so happens that the old man is going to take a few disciples to the county gentleman as a guest today, but he didn't have a casual gift, why don't you write a couplet for the old man?"
"Yes. Chen Changsheng responded.
Xie An pondered for a moment before he said: "Now that the new emperor of my Great Zhou Dynasty has ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, it should be a thing worth celebrating, but not long ago, the old man learned from the county monarch that there was a demon king named King Chu in Tiannan County of my Great Zhou Dynasty, which made the entire Tiannan County die, and now he is confronting the army of our dynasty." The old man wants to ask for a demon-killing couplet, but there is one. ”
Chen Changsheng had already picked up the pen, and originally thought that Xie An said that he wrote, but he didn't expect Xie An to directly ask him to think of a couplet, and after hearing the name of the King of Chu, he didn't know why, he felt a sense of anger in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel like a dragon and snake with the pen in his hand, and a couplet was just like that.
Looking at the couplet in front of him, Xie An couldn't help but say out loud: "Knock on the sky, subdue the demon in the palm of your hand." Hit the ground household, break the wind in the thunder gate. Good, good, not only the words are good, but even the couplets are also wonderful. ”
Xie An laughed and left a piece of silver weighing ten taels, and went out with a couplet.
Chen Changsheng still looked at his hands and the brush in his hand a little flustered, he didn't understand why he was so angry just now, there was a trace of sadness in the anger, which made his heart ache, until he turned that anger and sadness into pen and ink and wrote it on paper, he felt lighter and much better.
"Yingying, Sisi, I won't go out today. Chen Changsheng slowly lay down on the recliner, and as the recliner swayed, the whole person felt a little troubled inexplicably.
He didn't understand why he was troubled, he had to eat, drink and live, why he had the feeling of trouble, yes, it must be the lost memory that was at work.
Since he had the so-called popularity, Chen Changsheng has become more and more concerned about the lost memories, he is in a daze every day, but he is chasing those lost memories all the time, wanting to remember a little bit.
It's just that no matter how much he thinks and how hard he cares, those memories can't be seen at all, for example, he can write, and even write those couplets, but how to learn to write, how to learn to write couplets, his mind is blank. He thought about it, but there was always a layer of mist blocking his visitation.
Chen Changsheng thought about it for a whole day, and when he felt that his head was about to explode, Xie Xiaoyu came in, his face was full of smiles, and shouted at Chen Changsheng: "Brother Changsheng, my mother asked me to bring you food." ”
Chen Changsheng looked at the sky outside suspiciously, and found that it was already dark, he actually thought about it for a day, and couldn't help rubbing his head with a headache.
"Brother Changsheng, what's wrong with you, do you have a headache?" Xie Xiaoyu said with concern.
"It's fine. Chen Changsheng took the plate in Xie Xiaoyan's hand, of course, and a small bottle of fruit wine, looking at Xie Xiaoyan's face full of happiness that he couldn't hide, he couldn't help but say, "Xiaoyan, why are you so happy." ”
Xie Xiaoyu seemed to be waiting for Chen Changsheng to ask, so he immediately replied: "Brother Changsheng, the third uncle took me to the county gentleman today, and also sent your couplet to the county gentleman, after the county gentleman read it, he was extremely shocked, and said yes, there is such a great sage in Xiaoyun Mengzhen, he will definitely visit it one day." ”
Chen Changsheng said suspiciously: "That's it?"
"Huh. Xie Xiaoyan smiled shyly and said, "Xiaoyu is just a nickname obtained by his parents, and the county gentleman said that since I am going to take the township exam next year, it is indecent to call him a nickname, so I gave Xiaoyu a big name called Xie Baili, and I hope that Xiaoyu can start from Baili Jun in the future." ”
"Oh!" Chen Changsheng nodded and began to eat and drink by himself.
Xie Xiaoyu sighed in his heart, he also understood that the eldest brother of immortality was so cold, if one day his eldest brother of immortality became enthusiastic, he would not be used to it.
