The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 87
When the Zhang family moved to a new home, they were always kind to others.

Good relationship with neighbors.

People who know the Zhang family are not bad.

Two neighbors came to Zhang's house and knocked on the door.

When Runtu heard the knock on the door, he thought it was the three rogues who had left and returned.

When I opened the door, I saw two neighbors: "Aunt Li, Uncle Li."

"Happy New Year, Runtu."

"happy New Year."

"Did you write this couplet? The handwriting is really good. I heard from my son that you were No.1 in the exam back then. You can't make mistakes just by looking at the words. You are really educated."

"Brother Li is also talented, and he will definitely pass the exam next year."

There is also a scholar in his family, but he is currently a child.

If one can be educated to study, even if the family background is not good, it is not too bad.

"Your writing is worse than my son's. He wrote the Spring Festival couplets in previous years, far inferior to yours. I wanted to see, Runtu, if you could write two for us. This is I made the dumplings myself, and brought you a plate."

"It's too polite, of course, it's just a little effort."

Thinking about the relationship between neighbors should be as good as possible.

Even if I don't care, my family will still live here for a long time.

Even if we have to change the big house in the future, we won't change it in a short time.

"Thank you."

They also brought special paper for writing couplets.

Originally, their son was asked to write the remaining two copies.

After a little thought, Runtu came up with two Spring Festival couplets with very catchy meanings.

Everything goes well and auspiciousness, every family goes well and always be safe and healthy.

The daily wealth comes as you wish, and the blessings come with the spring every year.

"It's finished, you put it away."

"Thank you, thank you so much. Come to my house often when you have time. My son is also a scholar. You can chat with each other from time to time. There can be topics between scholars."

"must."

"The writing is really beautiful. It's much better than my son's writing, and it's much better than the writing on the street."

The two left very satisfied with the Spring Festival couplets.

As soon as they went out, someone greeted them, "Brother Li, Sister Li, what are you holding?"

"Spring Festival couplets, look at how well this is written. The little brother from the Zhang family over there helped us write it."

Unfold the Spring Festival couplets like treasures.

"Look, it's well written, even the ones sold on the street are not as good as those written by Zhang Family's Runtu."

"It's good."

After a while, another neighbor came over.

This time I saw Zhang Runtu's father, "Brother Zhang, your family's Runtu is really amazing, the words written for Mrs. Li and the others are really good, I wonder if I can write a copy for me too." .”

Constantly complimenting his father for raising a good son.

He said that Zhang Lao said that he was in a ecstasy, and he agreed directly.

In his opinion, it's just a matter of writing a word, and it's not troublesome.

It's really not troublesome.

If you write in the space, no matter how much you want, just practice calligraphy again.

After one morning, I wrote to several neighbors.

Runtu didn't find it troublesome either.

Everyone was very happy after getting the Spring Festival couplets.

"It's better than the words sold in the store. Tell me, if I sell it, I think I can sell it for some money."

"No, it's written for us. It's not appropriate for us to sell it for money."

"If there is anything inappropriate, if it is given to us, it is our thing. Try it and see if you can sell it for some money."

Holding two couplets, I went to the street.

Look for something that looks better.

Thinking that if you can only sell it for a few pennies, then you can't sell it.It's really not very kind.

If you can sell dozens of articles, you can consider it.

Immediately shouted a few times: "Spring Festival couplets are sold, Spring Festival couplets written by Xiucai Lang."

The words of scholars are not worth a few dollars, and the number of scholars in Kuaiji is very small, but the number of scholars is quite large.

And there are also a few talents who come out to do this kind of business to supplement their families.

The better ones can be sold for tens of pennies, and generally only a few pennies, which can get the living expenses of the day.

"That's a good word, how did you sell it?"

"Let's say a price."

"Ten pennies."

"Ten Wen, please lower it. This is written by Xiucai Lang, add more. Thirty Wen will be sold to you."

He really didn't want to sell it for ten cents.

If you can't sell it, you might as well post it in your own house, that's better than selling it for ten pennies.

"Thirty Wen, yes, you can keep it yourself."

There are quite a few people who came to inquire.

But the bids are lower.

It is only slightly higher than the couplets on the market.

"How much does the couplet sell for?"

"You can make an offer." It was still the same rhetoric, and he didn't know how much he said, in case he said less.

If other people bid less, he will not sell it.

"A tael of silver."

"A tael of silver? Sell it, and sell it to you now."

This price is not low, for the price of tens of catties of rice, you may be able to have a big meal in a restaurant with good wine and good food.The purchasing power is almost a few hundred dollars in later generations.This is money for rice, but not for houses. Buying a house for 100 taels can be hundreds of thousands for future generations.

He never thought he could sell it for a tael of silver.

This can solve the family's expenses for half a month.

Immediately without further ado, he thought about reaching a deal, for fear that people would go back on his word.

Immediately clear money and goods.

I was still thinking in my heart, if there were such a foolish person, it would cost one tael of silver to buy a pair of couplets.

I made a windfall, and I was very proud of myself.One tael of silver can buy half a stone of rice, which is much more realistic than couplets.

The people who bought the couplets were also very happy, holding them in their arms as if they had got a baby. Beautiful, majestic, delicate brushwork, changeable structure, rare to see."

He admired it very much, and felt that it was worth his money.

Another one of calligraphy, painting and calligraphy is the celebrity effect.

Those with a great reputation, even if their characters are poor, are worth a thousand gold.And those who are not well-known, even if they have higher calligraphy attainments, are not worth a lot of money.

It is difficult for ordinary people to hide things in their hearts.

Especially some things like to show off.

After the neighbor who sold the couplet went back, Dang even said that the couplet was sold for a tael of silver.

A huge topic arose in an instant, "What did you say? You sold the couplet, and you sold it for a tael of silver?"

Several people who heard it were very envious.

It's not me who is envious of selling couplets.

Someone went back immediately.

Going to tinker with my own Spring Festival couplets.

"What are you doing? It's just pasted up, so don't ruin it."

"Just to tear it off."

"What do you want to do?"

"It's all silver, a tael of silver."

Talk about the neighbor selling paintings.

"Can it really be sold for a tael of silver?"

"No way."

He carefully scraped the door panel.

Even if the door panel is scratched a little, I dare not break the Spring Festival couplets.
