Chapter 172 (1/2)
”What idea?” everyone was curious.
Fang ruxiu said, ”you see, it's approaching the end of the new year. Every family needs to buy Spring Festival couplets. It's better for us to sell some Spring Festival couplets from tomorrow. The money we earn at that time will not be in the public school, but only as everyone's pocket money.”
Said here, Fang ruxiu looked at Fang Yizheng and said with a smile: ”brother, you don't always complain that your pocket money is not enough. You should take advantage of this opportunity to make more money.”
”Pay attention, sister. Anyway, we should practice calligraphy when we write Spring Festival couplets.” Fang yizhenghe started his book and said, ”I have copied countless copies of this book, but I haven't written this spring festival couplet, but I saw a book about Spring Festival couplets in our collection last time, and now it's just used to copy it.”
”Let's buy some red paper tomorrow.” Fang ruxiu asked everyone to see these Spring Festival couplets first, so that everyone would rush to see them when we get tomorrow.
After breakfast the next day, Fang ruxiu went to the town and bought the red paper. It happened that Fang Changhui's grocery store had red paper to sell. She simply bought a large pile.
When I got home, I began to cut paper, big, small, long and short. There were some small pieces of paper left. Fang ruxiu didn't throw them away, so he kept them to write some auspicious words.
Mo Mo, Paperweight, began to write Spring Festival couplets. I read a book last night. Several Spring Festival couplets are nothing to Fang ruxiu. When Fang Yizheng saw Fang ruxiu's words, he first said good, and then he began to write.
During this period of time, Fang ruxiu's handwriting is much better than before. In the past, her handwriting was somewhat vain. She wrote in small block letters with hairpin flowers. It seems that it was done by a woman. But half a year after she came here, Fang ruxiu's handwriting slowly changed. Now she reads books in regular script and writes powerfully, with a posture that women don't let men. The big characters written on this couplet are like dragons flying and Phoenix dancing.
Fang Yizheng really felt that his sister's handwriting was very good. Although he didn't study calligraphy deeply at this time, at least he knew beauty and ugliness.
Over the past year, Fang Yizheng often practiced martial arts, especially his wrists, so his wrist strength was amazing. His words were as square, powerful, smooth and sharp as his name. When writing this spring festival couplet, the ink is divided into three parts of the paper. No wonder the words are like people, and Fang ruxiu thinks you can see a lot of things from here.
Ci Gu finished her work with Da Ya and Xiao Ya. When she heard that the young lady and the young man were writing Spring Festival couplets, she also said to Ye Shi. She got a favor and came to have a look.
When Fang ruxiu saw the three of them, she just caught the strong men and asked them to help cut the paper. In this way, the speed was much faster.
When Fang Yicheng and Fang Ruyin saw it, they also clamored to write Spring Festival couplets. Fang ruxiu asked them to write auspicious small characters such as bumper grain and prosperity of five livestock with the leftover materials just cut off.
Ye came in and saw that everyone was writing very seriously, so he came over and sent tea. Then he helped Fang ruxiu take these dry couplets aside and dry them carefully. The dried ones are carefully folded according to their size.
All day long, Fang ruxiu and Fang Yicheng were writing couplets. Their Kung Fu paid off. On this day, they achieved amazing results. A thick pile of red paper even let them finish all writing, and the couplets that ye helped organize were also piled up all over the imperial concubine's couch.
”Everyone worked hard.” when the last piece of red paper was finished, Fang ruxiu put down her pen and shook her hand.
Fang Yizheng also finished the last piece of red paper on his desk. He put down his pen, looked at it with satisfaction, and then said, ”although it's really hard, it's worth it.”
Looking at this pile of couplets, Fang ruxiu immediately said, ”tomorrow, we'll go to the county to sell couplets!”
”I'm going too, I'm going too!” said Fang Yicheng and Fang Ruyin.
”If you want to go, it depends on whether you are good or not.”
”Yinyin is very good.” Fang Ruyin said and went to Fang ruxiu's side and hugged her thigh.
”I'm good too.” Fang Yicheng also ran over.
”Why didn't anyone come to elder brother? Elder brother also has the right to take you.” Fang Yizheng saw that these children adhered to Fang ruxiu, so he tasted a little.
But Fang Yicheng and Fang Ruyin looked at Fang Yizheng and pulled Fang Ruyin's embroidered clothes and didn't give up.
”Ha ha, OK, I'll take you tomorrow.” the behavior of the two little guys made Fang ruxiu feel happy, and she immediately agreed.
In an instant, the two people gave a shout of joy, and then jumped around the room happily. Fang ruxiu looked at the two happy villains in the room and raised the corners of his mouth.
The next day Fang ruxiu woke up. Fang Ruyin also opened her eyes and looked at her with bright eyes. Well, the little man wanted to go to the county, so he was very positive. But it was cold that day. Fang ruxiu coaxed her to sleep for a while, while he got up and practiced Kung Fu for a while.
Today, because I went to set up a stall in the county, people didn't drive slowly until dawn as before. Today, Fang ruxiu just punched once. Fang Yizheng called her at the door.
Hearing his voice, Fang ruxiu stopped her posture. She hasn't answered yet, but she saw the little man on the bed slip away and get up. She replied to the door: ”brother, we'll come down now.”
