Chapter 69 pt 1 (2/2)

“That’s right. why can’t I give birth to such a capable child?”

“If they let you give birth to one, then wouldn’t you be sitting at home and eating fancy, just waiting to enjoy your son’s blessing!”

The wives were laughing and talking, and Zhaoer said: “Old and young men, uncles and aunts, we won’t collect food this time. This year, God has blessed us. Every family has a good harvest, so there is so much food in the house. It’s almost the New Year. I always have to make some money to make clothes and buy flowers for the girl at home.”

“Fine, fine, fine. You can do whatever you say, and we don’t mind. I like to listen to the luck bringing little brother, who makes people feel comfortable. This time we will pay if we don’t give food!” A man put the food bag on the ground and took out the purse containing money from his arms: “luck bringing little brother, you choose for your uncle. We have a main door, a hall door, a granary door, and a kitchen door. By the way, there are also livestock sheds.”

The move was unambiguous, and he took the Spring Festival couplets from the carriage, and Xue Taoer helped her.

“Uncle, there are a total of one pair of big ones and four pairs of small ones. It is reasonable to say that it would cost seventeen wen. If you buy a set, even if it is fifteen wen, I will give you five more fu zi, one for each door.”

“Okay, just do it!”

When they heard that it was so cheap, and there was buy one get one free, it was much cheaper than the single purchase. Many villagers were moved and called out to buy a set.

Zhao’er said again: “Some uncles don’t need so much at home, so you can buy less. It’s easy to buy a pair of large ones with two small ones, plus three fu zi for a total of ten wen.”

Immediately, some people who were shy in their pockets, or who had no livestock in the family, also poured in one after another.

The scene was extremely lively, Zhao’er calmly handed out the Spring Festival couplets, and then collected the money. It was the first time that Xue Taoer saw this kind of occasion. Although she was flustered, she still remembered to help Zhaoer Jie and try not to make trouble.

Mao Badou and the others were stunned for a long time. Seeing that it was so busy, Xue TingRang hurriedly called Chen Jian and Li Datian to go forward to help sell Spring Festival couplets.

“Luck bringing little brother, how good are the words written on these? If we go to Master Tong Sheng’s house and ask for it, it won’t cost this much money.” Every village has some who are pleasant and others that are difficult, and of course there are also some who think they are expensive and always want to be picky.

Zhao’er is not afraid of these at all, and smiled and replied: “Uncle, you can go to Master Tong Sheng’s house to ask for Spring Festival couplets. Sometimes you must be able to ask for it. After all, Master Tong Sheng is busy, but he doesn’t have the time to take care of everyone, and he can not write one on each door for your home. We are not the same. If you mention something else, we might not be in, but if you say calligraphy and writing—”

She turned around and pointed at Xue TingRang and the others, and said, “Do you know what they do? They are all students from the Qingyuan Academy in the town, and they have all been praised by the county grandfather and his elders. Although they are not tongsheng now, they will be by the end of next year. Maybe it’s a tongsheng, or a xiucai, and then your word will be worth the money.”

“Hey!”

“Qingyuan Academy? I heard that this academy is a good one. Many people want to send their children there, but they can’t get in.”

“I heard people say that the king and landlord wanted to send his son, but they didn’t accept it. They said he was too dull, and the qualifications were not good.” A villager said seriously.

“These are all scholars!”

Not only was Xue TingRang busy, but the others were also occupied. Mao Badou immediately put away his stupid chin that had dropped, and with his hands behind his back and walked forward, arching his hands deeply: “Uncles and aunts have overpraise me.”

“Look, this little one is different from the looks of it. The future master xiu ye!”

The two and Xue TingRang looked at the person who was wrapped up like a ball. How could he be different from the others, and then they started to laugh loudly.

“Student little one, you read what’s written on this for us. We just buy it, but we don’t know how to read, and we don’t know what’s written on it.” An aunt asked in front of Mao Badou.

Mao Badou was also unambiguous, and immediately read: “Every year is blessed with a lot of resources, and every year is safe and prosperous. Horizontal batch: good luck.”

“Hey, that’s a good couplet.”

“What about this one from my house?”

“Working harder will make everyone happy, and the harvest will be sweet every year…”

Here, Li Datian snickered and said to the others: “Badou has finally found his use here.”
