Chapter 174

Many people began to buy couplets. Fang Yizheng also began to help find suitable couplets. Fang Yicheng was specially responsible for collecting money and Fang Ruyin was responsible for taking small notes to these people.

"Let's give you a 'bumper grain and prosperous six livestock'." when Fang Ruyin read the words above and handed them to the people who bought couplets, everyone would feel very comfortable and praise: "what a beautiful and smart little girl."

"Girl, do you really know how to read or memorize all these couplets?" for a long time, more and more people watched the excitement, and gradually some people doubted it.

Of course, in fact, if you are illiterate, it doesn't seem to have any impact on the sales of couplets, but at the moment, people buying couplets here are not just buying this product. If Fang Ru is illiterate, you will certainly feel cheated. Whether the remaining couplets can be sold or not, This is where the person who bought the couplet might have to return it.

"Of course!" Fang ruxiu nodded with a smile: "if not, how can we choose for everyone."

"Oh, but you should memorize all these couplets well? Maybe you say you know words, but in fact, you only know the words written on the couplet. In fact, you don't know big words like all of us." the man added.

The man said this. Fang ruxiu obviously felt that the person who just said to pick one for her hesitated to give the money. Finally, he put down the couplet and took the money back.

Fang ruxiu looked up at the speaker and always felt a little provocative in his words. What's going on? Can you still meet troublemakers when selling couplets?

"Although whether I can read or not has little to do with the couplets I sell, I still want to explain it to you so that you don't feel cheated." Fang ruxiu said with a smile: "as the saying goes, those close to Zhu are red and those close to ink are black. Since we can be invited by the scholar master to help him sell couplets, we naturally have these two skills."

Fang ruxiu looked at the middle-aged man who had just questioned her, "uncle, if you have any requirements, just mention them."

The middle-aged man was dressed in a modest brown red silk cloth, a cotton padded jacket with straight skirts and a small felt hat with a dome. He looked at Fang ruxiu and said, "I don't want the couplet written by the scholar master. Otherwise, how about you write one for me, girl?"

"The price I wrote is not eighteen Wen." Fang ruxiu said with a smile.

"How much do you charge for writing a couplet?" asked the crowd nearby.

"A hundred words." Fang Ru embroidered and sorted out the couplet in his hand.

"A hundred Wen is so expensive that you can't write, so you're deliberately fooling us?" the middle-aged man said.

"Of course not. If someone is close to home, help me move a table and buy me two dozen red paper and pens and inkstones. I'll write one for you now." Fang ruxiu's performance is very calm and thoughtful. A great publicity opportunity is coming. She has long wanted to write Spring Festival couplets in the street. It's just too troublesome to bring a table or something.

"I'll buy you a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Who is close to home, go and move a table." the middle-aged said and left. I don't know whether he really went to buy a pen, ink, paper and inkstone or fled.

"I'll move a table for you," said the first aunt who bought couplets. "I know a boss nearby. It shouldn't be a problem to borrow a table from their house."

"Oh, so, thank you very much." Fang ruxiu saluted the people. For a moment, it seemed that she had changed from a wild girl to a scholarly and reasonable young lady.

There was nothing to do in this winter. Everyone was waiting to see the excitement. Soon the table moved in, and then the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were bought.

Someone helped to put the table and someone helped her polish the ink. It doesn't feel too good. The red paper has been cut. It seems that the middle-aged man is considerate. Fang ruxiu smoothed the paper by hand, and then picked up the pen to write:

"The old year adds a few more joys, and the new year goes to a higher level." the middle-aged man read the couplet embroidered and written by Fang Ru, but others don't know what it is.

"This is the plum blossom Xiaokai popular in the capital last year. I didn't expect to be able to see it here. Liyang county is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. A little girl selling couplets has such ability." when the middle-aged man saw the couplet written by Fang ruxiu, he stroked his chin's beard and laughed.

"Is this couplet worth a hundred Wen?" someone nearby said.

"It's worth it, absolutely worth it. I'll pay one or two silver for it, just for the girl's knowledge." the middle-aged man changed his aggressive posture and became very kind.

Fang ruxiu was relieved to see this man like this. Just now she thought he came to make trouble on purpose. Now it seems that she misunderstood others. Maybe the great Confucian saw her selling couplets in the name of scholar, so she wanted to teach a lesson. Fortunately, she has some skills.

"Where is the girl from?" the middle-aged man handed over the money and asked with a smile, "who did you write this couplet?"

"It's inconvenient to tell." Fang ruxiu didn't take the man's money, but said, "it's good to despise this set of pen and ink. How about using this to offset the silver money of the couplet?"

"You girl have a plan, OK." the middle-aged man agreed.

Even the middle-aged man who just had an objection now said that there was no problem with it. Next, there were more people buying Spring Festival couplets such as embroidery. They were bought and given away. After a while, the Spring Festival couplets written yesterday were soon sold out, and even the small characters written by Fang Yizheng and Fang Yicheng were almost sold out.

But this time is very early. Fang ruxiu simply writes now. An ordinary couplet is ten Wen and a plum blossom small regular script couplet is fifty Wen.

I have to say that there are still many rich people in the county. With more and more people watching the excitement, these people even choose the plum blossom small regular script of 50 Wen. After all, this font looks like plum blossom, which is very beautiful, and has never appeared in Liyang county.

It is said that a girl is writing couplets, and many people come to watch. If she comes to buy ordinary couplets, Fang ruxiu, er, doesn't use the font she wrote last night, but uses the gentle small regular script of the original owner. Unfortunately, Fang Yizheng can only know one font. If he wants not to wear help, he can only start with Fang ruxiu.

In the afternoon, there were fewer talents. Fang Yizheng bought a stack of cut red paper. When Fang ruxiu finished writing all the cut red paper, she stopped writing and stopped writing.

Many people still want to buy, but Fang ruxiu shakes her head, clears up her things, returns the table to the family pointed out by her aunt, and gives ten Wen money to thank her. Fang ruxiu takes the people to the county for Chinese food.

Fang ruxiu, they are all thrifty people. Those tall restaurants have tasted it once. This time, they mainly ate a circle of snacks in the county. What mutton noodles and beef miscellaneous soup is really cheap and delicious.

There are many snack stalls in this street, but unfortunately, several people have long been unable to walk.

Although the new year's goods to buy have been almost the same for a long time, Fang ruxiu and others still strolled around the county, bought many welcome things such as osmanthus cake and white sugar, and bought some small toys for Fang Yicheng and Fang Ruyin. With a carriage, Fang ruxiu bought a large stack of white paper. These things are not cheap, but Rao is so, and there is still a lot of money left.

On the return carriage, Fang Ruyin kept holding the money box. Fang ruxiu said with a smile that she was the biggest little financial fan.

When they got home, Fang Ruyin and Fang Yicheng took the money box and counted the money. Fang ruxiu asked them to count together in five, so it was faster. After subtracting the money for white paper, sugar and osmanthus cake from here today, there are 1528 copper plates in the final count.

"Oh, you made a lot of money on your trip today." ye came in and said when he saw the money in the money box.

"It's all my sister's credit," Fang Yizheng said. "My sister is really great."

"Elder brother, don't praise me. It's everyone's credit. Well, let's share the money." Fang ruxiu said with a smile, and then Fang Yicheng took the money box to Fang ruxiu.

"Come on, mom, you made a contribution to cutting paper last night." Fang ruxiu took out ten Wen to Ye Shi.

"I'll help cut a piece of paper, and I can get so much money." Ye Shi was not polite to Fang ruxiu. She reached out and took Fang ruxiu's silver money.

"Yes, next time you ask your mother to help you do something, you should be positive." Fang ruxiu said with a smile. Then he counted out five Wen to Yin Yin and said, "this is the credit for your yelling and being obedient with your brother and sister today."

"Thank you." Yinyin borrowed money and smiled, then put the money into a small purse made by Fang ruxiu for her.

The rest of Fang Yicheng looked at it eagerly. Fang ruxiu gave him a huge sum of ten Wen to encourage him. Fang Yicheng was also very satisfied with the ten Wen.

The last remaining money, Fang ruxiu, took 500 Wen to Fang Yizheng, saying that it was for his wife to make further efforts. The other 500 Wen was her own, and the surplus was included in the public school.

Everyone had no objection to this kind of property distribution, but felt that Fang Yizheng thought he took a little more, while Fang ruxiu took a little less.

But anyway, Fang Yizheng's money will be picked up by Fang ruxiu by various means sooner or later, and Fang ruxiu doesn't need any pocket money. She manages all the money at home. She has storage space, and no one knows where her money is.

I wrote a couplet for another night in the evening and sold it on the street the next day as usual. This lasted for three days, so I couldn't find time anymore.

The new year's festival is approaching. Fang Yi is busy going to the annual ceremony. Although Fang ruxiu has time, she doesn't want to go. In addition, most of the things we need to buy at this time have been bought, so the business is also slow down.
