Chapter 146 Floating Life

After only three years, the tree in the backyard has grown.

There are three sweet-scented osmanthus trees in total, all of which are now more than three meters high.

This osmanthus tree grows slowly, but who would have known that it has grown into a tree in just three years, Li Qing also thought about it, thinking that this is some kind of alien. But Li Qing couldn’t see what kind of alien species it was, but it was really fragrant when it bloomed, and it had a fragrance far beyond that of other osmanthus trees.

The ingenious Lu Yu also used it to make sweet-scented osmanthus tea, which Li Qing likes the most.

On this day, Li Qing was sitting in the study, and Lu Yu brought him sweet-scented osmanthus tea, as well as sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cakes made by the two parties.

Li Qing saw Lu Yu came in with tea and cakes, and smiled and stood up to take it:

“My lady, I’ve been like this all day, I’m afraid I’ll get fat soon. It’s three pounds.”

Lu Yu smiled and said, “What Husband said, reading is the most troublesome, and these are the ones to get. Besides, serving tea to Master Xiucai, how many people would not have the opportunity to serve it. “

“hahaha!”

Li Qing smiled: “Miss, don’t make fun of me.”

“Am I wrong? Two Twelve-year-old talents are rare in this world.” Lu Yu added.

Li Qing laughed, I’m ashamed to say it. After focusing on reading, I couldn’t refer to the first year because I passed the Tongsheng test. In the second year, Li Qing first signed up for the Tongsheng test, and then passed it easily. In the third year, that is, not long ago, Li Qing took the talent test again and passed it easily.

In less than three years, Li Qing has grown from an ordinary scholar to a scholar, which is indeed rare in the world.

Li Qing will not be ashamed if others want to praise him. After all, this is a fact, but Li Qing is a little embarrassed when his wife says that. For the past three years, Lu Yu has taken care of him. Very good, he doesn’t have to worry about everything from food and clothing to daily necessities, and he often buys various supplements to supplement him. It can be said that today’s achievements are inseparable from his wife.

Sitting down at this time, Li Qing twisted the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and took a bite. The soft, glutinous, sweet, and various flavors made Li Qing’s mouth fragrant, and his stomach suddenly felt greedy. After eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Li Qing took a sip of the sweet-scented osmanthus tea.

If Li Qing loved sweet-scented osmanthus cake, then Li Qing couldn’t put it down with sweet-scented osmanthus tea.

In the past six months, every time Li Qing drank sweet-scented osmanthus tea, Li Qing had to taste it for a long time.

This sweet-scented osmanthus tea, after drinking it, firstly has a faint aroma, followed by a refreshing feeling, which refreshes Li Qing’s eyesight, and then drink it, let Li Qing A cup of sweet-scented osmanthus tea is enough to keep Li Qing reading all day without getting tired. It’s just like an immortal grade in the sky.

Drinking half a cup at this time, Li Qing enjoyed it endlessly. Looking at his wife, Li Qing faintly smiled, and Lu Yu also smiled, everything was silent.

Not long after, Lu Yu left with Li Qing’s cup of tea, but Li Qing suddenly felt a guilty conscience.

He listened with perverted ears. After hearing Lu Yu returning to the kitchen, he hurriedly fetched a piece of inkstone beside the desk, stretched it out, and there was half a page of unfinished words inside. He picked up the pen and filled it up.

It is normal to just write and write, no need to avoid Lu Yu.

However, Li Qing is really suffering.

My wife is very good to me. When I passed the Tongsheng exam, I felt that I could practice calligraphy. I wanted to sell it to subsidize my family. , don’t worry about the family, everything has her.

Li Qing then devoted himself to studying and passed the exam not long ago as a scholar, and this thought popped out again. He thought that he couldn’t let his wife spend money like this. As a man in the family, he should also earn Some silver taels, this is a matter of course. So Li Qing decided to write two words today and take it to the city to explore the road to see if it can be sold. With the lessons learned from the previous Tongsheng, Li Qing decided not to let his wife find out for the time being.

Just now when Lu Yu came in, Li Qing was still a little nervous, thinking that it was his wife who discovered him.

As for the examination of juren, every three years is a long time, Li Qing is quite confident about it, and selling some characters now has little effect.

The two characters were written very quickly. Li Qing didn’t even become a copywriter, but just wrote two classic aphorisms that the world is accustomed to. He mainly sells his own characters.

Now Li Qing is quite confident in his own words, it is a flying and elegant, sometimes Li Qing is intoxicated when he finishes writing, he even doubts whether he is the heavenly Wenqu Star Reincarnation, how to write such a good word.

After writing, Li Qing waited for the ink to dry, rolled up the two words, and tucked them behind his back to cover up.

For today, he has been planning for a long time, and he must not let his wife see it.

“Ma’am, I’m going to buy some books in the city.” Li Qing said with an excuse he had already made.

“Okay, slow down on the road.” Lu Yu replied inside the house.

“Well, I’m leaving.” Li Qing said calmly, but when he walked out of the courtyard, he couldn’t hide a smile. It seemed that the first step was completed, and the next step was Second Step is up.

Li Qing walked in the city with a clear destination. When he bought books before, he also inquired about the place selling calligraphy and painting in the city. It was just in front of a Chenghuang Temple in the south of the city. A street full.

After Li Qing left the house, he took out the words hidden behind him and held it in his hands. Now he is dressed as a literati, and walking in the city is very comfortable. He is no longer the same as when he first entered the city. As restrained and unfamiliar, in just three years, it seems that he has lived in this city for several decades.

Coming to the south of the city, Li Qing didn’t sell the calligraphy first, he looked at other people’s calligraphy and paintings first.

You don’t need to read the painting. It has nothing to do with Li Qing. It’s mainly to read the characters. After reading it for half a circle, Li Qing smiled in his heart, and he has a bottom line. These people’s words, although they dare to sell them, are all a little something, not ordinary words.

But there is something true, not much, far inferior to him.

Until the end of the game, Li Qing didn’t see anyone who could surpass him. He was very confident at the moment.

I asked a few more prices, ranging from tens of copper plates to hundreds of copper plates, but there is no more than one silver tael, it seems that one silver tael is a limit.

Li Qing found an open space with a wall on one side and an old man on the other, who was also selling characters.

Li Qing spread out his words, and the old man who had been watching him widened his eyes. As a literati, the quality of this word can be discerned at a glance. Li Qing’s words , not to mention surpassing him, that is, surpassing everyone in this street in front of the Chenghuang Temple is nothing difficult.

Looking at Li Qing again, he was only in his early twenties, and the old man’s heart moved, is it possible that he is selling characters to others.

But he didn’t say anything. No matter who Li Qing sells words to, the two are competing in business. Whoever speaks first will lose. The old man sells words for a lifetime.

Pretending to be invisible, the old man only stared at his own words, while Li Qing on the side only looked at his own words.

Speaking of this, selling calligraphy and painting is different from selling chicken and fish. Yelling is absolutely necessary. It’s too cheap. Selling calligraphy and painting is all about love. Then accept it naturally. If you don’t like it, it’s useless for you to shout, and it will also offend people.

Speaking again, it can still have the elegance of a literati.

But Li Qing, when he spread the word out like this, it was like a pearl in the sand, which attracted the attention of the people next to him. Those who can come to this street are businessmen and officials with various identities. Not to mention hobby calligraphy and painting, after a long time, this appreciation ability is no worse than that of literati. Even because of the fact that he has seen a lot, he can recognize calligraphy and painting better than the average literati.

“Good words!”

A businessman who walked up to Li Qing sighed secretly after seeing Li Qing’s words.

At this time, the people next to him also saw it, and also inwardly shouted a good word in their hearts.

After a while, there were seven or eight people around Li Qing. This person is the same everywhere. He likes to get together, and he likes to buy high and not low. When Li Qing gets together, More people came, just like joining in the fun, and soon, Li Qing was surrounded by twenty or thirty people.

Someone asked the price, but Li Qing did not answer.

Today, the characters are not fake, but looking at the other characters around here and the people surrounded, Li Qing’s heart moved, he thought that he had better make a sound on his first day. No one else dares to sell a silver tael, why can’t I sell it myself.

Although there are many people around at this time, Li Qing feels that it is still not enough. He can sell as high as he can today. If he sells well, he will not worry about selling in the future.

Seeing that there were people around behind who couldn’t squeeze in and couldn’t see the words, Li Qing picked up the words and hung them high on the wall behind him. I can see clearly.

After these words, people from half a street were about to gather around, and they were all amazed that Li Qing’s words were unusual.

Some people saw Li Qing’s face, and asked about Li Qing, Li Qing answered truthfully, and heard that this year’s new talent, many people nodded, saying that this Heming City is big, but good There are only so many calligraphy and paintings, and now there is one more character by Li Qing, which makes many people who love calligraphy and painting very happy.

“How much does this word sell for?”

Someone asked again.

Li Qing knew that the heat was enough at this time, and he couldn’t go any further, otherwise he would be arrogant.

Li Qing smiled and answered with hands folded: “These two characters, no more or less, one three silver tael.”

“What?” Some people were surprised.

“Thirty taels, that’s enough to buy ten other pictures. The Liu Laoxiu next to you has sold words all his life, but only one hundred coins per word.” Someone said again.

The old man who has been closely observing the situation when I hear about himself, that is, Liu Laoxiucai, can’t sit still. He has sold words all his life, but his words are worth a hundred. Copper plates, sometimes the family is in trouble, and the seventy copper plates are also sold. This is not a big deal, but when it is called out at this time, Liu Laoxiu is restless.

“Let’s do it less, how about one word and one silver tael, two words are enough for one month’s food and clothing.” Someone said again.

Hearing this, the people around watching the lively exclaimed, exclaiming that it was not Li Qing who dared to sell three taels, but someone who was really willing to pay a silver tael to buy a word. No, this is big news on this street.

At this moment, all the people selling characters in the surrounding capital are deserted, only Li Qing is very lively here.

Hearing someone offer a silver tael, Li Qing didn’t say a word, just shook his head, everyone looked towards the offer, that person seemed to be a businessman, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he also had intentions. I just quoted a quote to find a reason:

“This kind of word is rare in this city. I have bought calligraphy and painting for ten years, and I have only seen it a few times. A silver tael is not too much, and this kind of writing is acceptable. Let’s start, so how about I add half a tael, and buy one or two of your characters.”

“Oh, it’s amazing.” The person next to him said in surprise again.

At this time, everyone was looking at Li Qing, but Li Qing didn’t continue to persevere. It was enough, he said: “Xiaosheng is selling characters for the first time today, and he can be recognized by everyone. I’m very happy, my husband can see it, and I’m willing to give one or two halves, so I will make a good start and sell it to him, but only one.”

“Okay, I’ll choose the one on the left. .”

At this time, seeing Li Qing giving him face, the businessman was also very happy, and he took out a half or two of silver on the spot, and Li Qing took the word and handed it to him.

At this time, the literati who were selling calligraphy and painting, including Liu Laoxiu, were all envious.

They come to sell calligraphy and painting. Who wouldn’t want someone who appreciates themselves so much and can afford to buy their own calligraphy and painting? This is a rare good thing.

After the 1st word was sold, Li Qing insisted on not bargaining for the second picture. The crowd fell into silence for a while. There were many silver taels, and one word was too extravagant.

Seeing that no one was buying, Li Qing was about to close the booth, but suddenly one person came in.

“Li Xiucai, frankly, your words are very good, but the meaning of the word left now is too ordinary. The old man in my family is celebrating his birthday. , I would like to give three silver tael.” The man opened his mouth and said.

“Oh, this!”

The people around looked at each other and thought it was the end of the day, didn’t expect it to be turbulent, and the excitement was really good.

Li Qing smiled. Maybe this person was really celebrating his birthday, and maybe he was trying to test him, but no matter what, Li Qing definitely had to fight for the money today.

“Okay, I’ll write one for you.”

Li Qing said.

Then he looked towards Liu Laoxiucai, who was on the side. Li Qing did not bring a pen and ink when he went out this time, and Liu Laoxiucai has been selling characters for so many years, and the pen and ink never left his body.

“Liu Old Mister, can I borrow your pen and ink? I didn’t bring any paper today. Can I buy another piece of paper from you?” Li Qing turned his head and said.

Hearing what Li Qing said, although he is very envious of Li Qing, even a little jealous, Liu Laoxiu still knows the general situation. Can’t sell. Besides, if you don’t borrow it yourself, other people next to you also have pen and ink, and they will borrow it, which will make you even more embarrassed.

Liu Laoxiu gave Li Qing a pen and paper with a smile on his face: “What to buy, a piece of paper can’t be considered. Speaking of which, I have to learn from you.”

“Okay!” The surrounding people applauded Liu Lao Xiucai’s words.

What Liu Laoxiu didn’t know was that his words were meant to be a show, but he never had to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Li Qing smiled, took over the ink and ink, spread the paper, and wrote down a birthday character with a swipe. When he finished writing, all the people around him exclaimed. It’s not bad at all.

“Li Xiucai is really talented.”

The person who said he wanted Li Qing to write for three silver tael said just now, and then he took out the money and waited for it. As soon as the ink dries, roll up Li Qing’s words and leave.

What Li Qing didn’t know was that this person was wishing for a birthday, but when he saw Li Qing’s words, he was quite disbelieving, thinking that it was written by someone else, and he deliberately asked Li Qing to write it now, good to go. Ugly. But after Li Qing wrote it, the answer was self-evident, he couldn’t say anything, this time he left.

After collecting the pen and ink, Li Qing decided to come here today. When returning the pen and ink to Liu Lao Xiucai, Li Qing also gave the writing on the wall to Liu Lao Xiucai. The old Xiucai didn’t say anything and continued with a smile.

Saying goodbye to the onlookers, Li Qing was so happy that he earned four or two or five dollars in just half a day. This was something Li Qing did not expect. With this money, Li Qing also changed. I got a lot of arrogance, as the saying goes, one skill is not worrying about food and clothing, and in Li Qing’s view, he will not worry about going all over the world in the future.

Going to the duck shop in the city, Li Qing bought a roast duck to take back to eat.

“Miss, what do you think this is?” Li Qing returned to the room and said with a smile.

Lu Yu also smiled when he saw the roast duck in Li Qing’s hand, and said, “Why did you go out and buy food and come back instead of buying books.”

” Hiss~”

Li Qing suddenly felt bad, but he said he went out to buy books, how could he forget about it. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Yu had already brought the roast duck to the kitchen, and he didn’t seem to care, and Li Qing was also relaxed.

What Li Qing didn’t know was how Lu Yu didn’t know about him secretly selling characters. He was originally a little angry, but seeing Li Qing so happy, Lu Yu suddenly realized that he couldn’t stop Husband blindly. He does these things, in fact, it is beneficial and harmless.

After eating roast duck, Li Qing went back to the study and looked around.

He sold the characters secretly, so the silver taels can’t be taken out, at least not now, or it will be exposed at once. And the silver tael was strangely heavy on the body, so Li Qing wanted to put it away.

At this time, looking around the house, Li Qing suddenly had a good idea. He raised a floor tile behind the door, hollowed it out, and buried the silver taels in it.

Looking at the floor tiles that were the same as before, Li Qing nodded with a smile, then pushed open the window and threw the soil dug under the floor tiles under the osmanthus tree, and couldn’t see it at all.

But he said that Liu Laoxiu, with Li Qing’s great limelight, did not sell one of his handwritings. After dinner, I couldn’t sleep.

“Three silver tael, I may not make so much money by selling it for two months. It’s true”

Liu Laoxiu has been thinking about Li Qing selling characters during the day. After the death of his wife at home a year ago, he focused on the words. Now, under the invisible blow of Li Qing, Liu Laoxiu only felt flustered and short of breath, and had an indescribable discomfort.

Finally, after lying down for one hour with his eyes open, Liu Laoxiu got up from the bed and lit the candle.

Under the candlelight, I unfolded the words that Li Qing gave me. Although Liu Laoxiu had read it during the day, he was still amazed at this moment. This word is really unusual, it is not his own. Comparable.

Whether it is close or far, this word is worthy of deep aftertaste.

After reading it for a long time, Liu Laoxiu took out the pen and ink and began to write. He seemed to be imitating, but after writing a few words, he found that there was nothing like it. Li Qing’s words seemed to contain some kind of spirit. Now, there are things that cannot be explained, and what he imitates is his usual style.

“No, no!”

Liu Laoxiu shook his head, and he could see that he didn’t imitate well.

Taking out the new paper, Liu Laoxiucai began to write again. Li Qing’s words seemed to have a kind of magic power, and Liu Laoxiucai was completely immersed in it. When the rooster crowed at dawn, he suddenly woke up, shook his head, and his hands were sore.

Tianming, he is going to sell characters again, which is the source of his life, but at this time he is not selling the previous characters. After imitating all night, Liu Laoxiu, who has written characters for half his life, is still Some of the skills are based on imitating Li Qing’s characters. This time, he wrote a few new characters with the imitated characters, and decided to give them a try today.

It will be half a day in a blink of an eye.

Liu Laoxiu returned to his house with a happy mood. The word he didn’t expect was so easy to sell, it was sold out in half a day, and the price was more than 100 coppers. A well-written one sold for 150 coins, which had never happened before.

The letter that Li Qing gave him was still on the table in the room, and Liu Laoxiu went straight back to the room.

Suddenly, he startled again.

Liu Laoxiu only felt a little unhappy in his heart. He had written for half his life, but now he has to learn from a scholar in his early twenties. It seems a little. A little

I don’t know why , Liu Laoxiu was a little unable to pass his own level.

Sitting down on the bed, Liu Laoxiu didn’t take a look at the words, and suddenly he thought of the words he said unintentionally yesterday, “The master is the teacher, and I have to learn from you. “.

Repeatedly repeating this sentence, this sentence was said to Li Qing, and it was just a rhetoric to improve himself in the environment at that time, but thinking about it at this time made Liu Laoxiu suddenly open-minded, Immediately, there are no obstacles.

Standing up again, Liu Laoxiu smiled, picked up the pen and imitated, this time more seriously than the night.

After that, Liu Laoxiu sold words like this for a few days, selling short every day, and he also imitated three or four points.

I have to say that even if it is three or four points, it makes Liu Lao Xiucai’s words improve by a level.

Five days later, when Liu Laoxiucai started to sell again, before he got to the stall he had been setting up, he saw a lot of people from a distance, and Liu Laoxiucai was overjoyed. I thought this was coming to me to sell characters? I have today too?

And then looked to the side again, for some reason, Li Qing has been in the past few days since that day.

For Li Qing, Liu Laoxiu is the one who hopes that he will come again. After all, he still has to learn, and one word is not enough.

When I came to the booth, Liu Laoxiucai was about to spread out the words he had written, when someone next to him stepped forward and asked, “Is the words that Li Xiucai gave you that day?”

p>

“en?” Liu Laoxiu was surprised, how could he ask this, but he still replied, “Naturally.”

“That’s good,” the person who asked the question was a little confused. happiness. “You sell me the words, and I’ll give you one or two half of the money.”

“What?” Liu Laoxiu said puzzled.

At this moment, someone next to me rushed to say: “Sell it to me, I’ll give you two taels.”

“Three taels!”

Another person said, at this time Seeing the people arguing over the characters Li Qing gave him, Liu Laoxiu was particularly puzzled. The characters are good and true, but why didn’t you buy them that day, and why are you arguing today?
