Chapter 2 Selling Poems

Li Ke got out of bed and came to the kitchen. Looking at the relatives who were not related to him in this world, he felt sad! He murmured: Dead Li Ke! Don't worry, I will take good care of her. She is not only your mother, but also...my mother from now on!

Li Ke thought to himself: Although I can't take out the pork now, after dinner, I will go out and write some poems to sell. For me, I don't know how to write calligraphy and write regular script with a brush... I don't know if I can sell poetry now... Alas! By the way, ask Xiaomi!

Xiaomi! Are poetry in the Tang Dynasty popular now?

Sorry, I'm not an encyclopedia! I'm just a voice call, please don't make things difficult for me, this question cannot be answered for you! Xiaomi said humanely.

Damn... it's useless! Li Ke just finished complaining, and suddenly he thought of a lot of books in the bracelet and asked: I read a lot of books in that inventory. Is there anything about the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty?

Didi!

I found out that there were poems, songs, but there was no historical record about the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty! You can travel back and bring back a few books about the Zhenguan period! Xiaomi replied.

How fresh! It’s vain to ask so many questions! Li Ke said speechlessly: You can get out!

Please don't bet on me! I don't want to do this either! Xiaomi said.

Ke'er! The noodles are ready! Come on! The woman said while putting a bowl of steaming noodles, followed by Li Dabao! The woman put the noodles on the table!

There is a poached egg in the bowl, and it is a bit like pickles! Although this is a bowl of ordinary noodles, it will be different in front of Li Ke! If you give this bowl of noodles a price, Li Ke feels that this is priceless for himself, the former orphan!

It not only contains noodles that can solve the problem of Li Ke’s clothing, but also has warm family affection. How can family affection be measured by money?

Li Ke's eyes were wet and he looked at the woman and said: Mom! Thank you for your hard work!

Ke'er grew up and understood the hard work of her parents! When the woman sat at the table and heard Li Ke's words, she suddenly felt that the hard life had become much more fulfilling and she had hope for life. That hope was Li Ke!

The woman's eyes were also wet and she said: Don't blame your father for hitting you! It's all useless for parents, which makes you suffer since childhood, which leads to your physical weakness and illness since childhood! You are the only one of you, and you don't ask for anything, just asking for peace and health, and your mother will be satisfied...

Li Dabao sat next to him and was shocked when he heard what Li Ke said. Although he didn't say anything, he still agreed with what the woman said!

Li Ke hurriedly said: Mom! Don’t say that, my parents used to take care of me, and I will take care of my parents in the future!

Ke'er! I feel at ease for my father when I heard you say this! Li Dabao continued: I will work with me tomorrow. Now the emperor is very kind to the world, "to save extravagant expenses, light taxes and taxes, choose honest officials, and make the people have enough food and clothing." If we want to live a good life in the future, we still need to work hard ourselves!

Li Ke thought to himself: I'm going...what does it mean? I understand the general meaning,! Working? Isn't it just going to the fields to do farm work?

Well... Dad! That... I want to ask, can poetry be sold in the market on this street...?

Li Dabao said in confusion: Sell poetry? Who sells it? You?

Well... Dad! Don't worry! Just tell me if there is one! Li Ke hid it and said.

Yes! But those are all things that some rich young men like. Do you want to buy them? Just as Li Dabao finished speaking, he thought about it and hurriedly said: We don’t have the money to buy for you!

Li Ke smiled and said: I won’t buy it! I just want to know how much it costs? Dad! Do you know calligraphy?

The woman was next to her and wanted to remind Li Ke to eat noodles quickly, but when she saw that the father and son were having a good chat, she couldn't bother her, so she sat and watched them chat...

As far as I know, it is between 100 cents or 500 cents! (The money is equal to 1,000 cents) Of course, I know how to write and put some effort into it! Li Dabao said complacently, and then in a flash he said: In the past, our family was also a wealthy family, but he was lonely...

Li Ke didn't care whether the family was lonely or not. He thought to himself: I can let my father take it, and I will practice calligraphy in the future! He hurriedly said: Dad! I have something to discuss with you after dinner!

Well! The noodles made by my mother are so delicious! Li Ke said while eating, and after saying that, he started to eat them in big mouthfuls! In fact, this noodles are not delicious. Poor families have nothing, even salt is coarse salt! But the words are just to make the woman happy!

Eat slowly! The woman said happily.

After dinner, the woman cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, wiped the table and walked out, leaving the father and son...

Li Ke asked: Dad! How about you writing poetry?

Ah?!You can write poetry? You...you! Li Dabao was jumped. Why is what happened today so strange?

When Li Dabao was stunned, Li Ke quickly pretended to walk to the bed, pretending to be the four treasures of the study that he took out from under the bed! Then he walked to Li Dabao, placed the four treasures on the table, and opened the white paper!

Where did you do it? Li Dabao asked in confusion.

Li Ke fooled: Dad! I have friends too! He is a rich child, I gave it to me! Oh! Dad! Please! I will write a poem!

Cough cough! Li Ke pretended to behave and looked outside... and walked a few steps in the house slowly and said: It was noon for the day when the wheat was hoeing, and sweat dripped into the soil. After saying that, he walked two more steps: Who knew that every grain of food on the plate was hard? (Original author: mid-Tang Dynasty, Li Shen)

Li Dabao said in shock: This... is this what you wrote? What a poem! What a poem!

Li Ke said speechlessly: Uh... Dad! You wrote a good poem...

OK! Write! Write! Li Dabao started writing. Li Ke took a look. Although he didn’t understand calligraphy, he felt that he was writing quite well!

After writing, Li Dabao asked: Ke'er! Why did you suddenly write poems?

Ah...haha...that...I had a dream a few days ago and dreamed of a Taoist priest who passed on all his life's skills to me in his dream... "The more he talks, the more he is messy, okay! Dad won't ask you!" Li Dabao interrupted Li Ke and said.

Hehe! I didn't steal this poem anyway! Li Ke said in his mouth, but in his heart: Lord Li Shen, please use it urgently for you to borrow poetry, don't be surprised! Anyway, you are not born yet...

Dad! I went to the market to sell it! How to leave?

Just follow the path at the door!

OK! After saying that, I was about to walk out as I raised my foot... "Be careful, the market is almost closed, and there will be a curfew tonight." Li Dabao's voice came!

Li Ke stopped and turned around and said: OK!

After walking out of the door, Li Ke noticed the situation of his family... Break! Break! Dirty! It's hard to imagine that his family used to be a big family! There were two rooms in the whole yard, one lived in himself, and the other was his parents' living! There were also a small stove! There were five chickens and two ducks in the yard! There were also some vegetables!

The walls are surrounded by bamboo poles...

Li Ke clenched his fists and walked out with great worries...

————————————

Following the road that I stepped out with my feet for countless times, Li Ke kept walking along this path... On the way, Li Ke saw many houses as poor as his own!

Finally, I saw the plaque carved from the stone on the city: Chang'an...

Watching people coming and going in and out of the city, some holding vegetables, fruits, straw sandals... It turned out that the market was inside the city!

When he arrived at the market, Li Ke looked at the dazzling array of things and thought to himself: Damn! They are all antiques...

Walking aside, he shouted: Fresh... Cough cough! New poetry! Buying it home can educate your children to be thrifty, or establish family rules... Educating your children to know from an early age that life is hard-won...

The first time people at the market heard such a strange tone, they all came to see Li Ke and surrounded him... pointed at him...

Li Ke looked at the people around him and pointed at him, thinking: It looks like! It looks like an extra in a costume TV series...

Suddenly, a girl's voice sounded: Brother! Can you take out the poem and show it to everyone?

Li Ke looked up and saw two men walking forward! Looking at their appearance, Li Ke thought in confusion: Hey!? Liu Ye bent her eyebrows, red lips, white teeth, big eyes, small mouth, white skin, tender and red, and she doesn't have an Adam's apple yet! Isn't this a woman? Why do you wear men's clothes? It's not a woman dressed as a man... This clothes are good materials, and you must be either rich or noble! Then she killed her... and quickly responded: Chest... Cough cough! Brother! I will take out the poem for my brother to appreciate!

Let's talk, take it out of the cuff and open it...

Hey?! This... this is a good poem! It's just a little bit bad... The fake man praised it and asked: Who wrote this poem?

Not talented, it’s just that! Li Ke said shamelessly.

Oh? But I don’t know the characters anymore! Where is this Brother Shi going to sell it on the stage? The fake man was interested.

Li Ke laughed and said: It has no price!

The pseudo-man said angrily: No price? Could it be that you are fooling me?

Li Ke said without any haste: No, no! I mean, I did not set the price for it because it does not belong to me in the future! But it belongs to the person who bought it! The price you know is determined by you. If you think it is good, you will give more! If it is not good, give less! That's true!

The pseudo-man said: Five taels of silver...but... When he heard about five taels of silver, Li Kexin was almost popping up. When he heard her, he felt nervous again!

If your calligraphy is not good, you can only be worth two taels of silver! If you can do it, it will be fine... If you can't do it... "Puff! The deal!" Li Ke said while giving the paper to the fake man!

The man didn't say anything, and gave the money, but he just felt weird... he felt like he was cheated...

Li Ke hurriedly said: I will sell poetry here in the future, and I still have a lot of it! If you want poetry, I can write poetry for you, and you can write it yourself! Okay, I'm going home... After saying that, Li Ke lifted his foot and left, suddenly stopped, took out two pieces of chewing gum, and said: Give it to you! Remove the paper outside, put it in his mouth and chew it, don't swallow it in his stomach... After saying that, he took off one of the pieces and put it in his mouth, and demonstrated it!

Putting the chewing gum in the hand of the fake man who was stunned by the side, Li Ke left directly...

Suddenly, Li Ke's voice came from a distance: By the way, it's strawberry-flavored...
