Chapter 20: The Price of a Pair
"Dashan, bring the paper!" Seeing Lin Huaiyuan nodding, Ning Caichen also acted vigorously and acted vigorously!
Ning Shan was ordered to come over and put a pair of paper in front of Ning Caichen. Some people gathered around had already begun to disperse one after another. Now Ning Caichen is going to write a pair again, and he is writing a pair specifically for Lin Huaiyuan. He can't help but stop.
Boss Wang, who had a dark face next to him, also looked over with sharp eyes!
Moisten the pen and grind the ink, Ning Caichen walked calmly to the long table, stood up straight, and just thought for a moment, he started writing, which made the people around him look a lot of strange colors. They remember that when they first wrote the couplet, Ning Caichen almost thought about it.
It took more than a minute, and this time, Ning Caichen only thought for a few seconds!
Lin Huaiyuan also looked at Ning Caichen with some curiosity, wanting to see what pair Ning Caichen could write. He looked over and saw that Ning Caichen's pen was like a dragon and a snake, he started writing, picked up his pen, and finished it in one go!
"Hey, my eyes are dazzled!"
Suddenly, Lin Huaiyuan was surprised and suspicious, because he had just seen a white light shining from Ning Caichen's pen. He blinked and found that Ning Caichen had finished writing the first couplet, but the white fluorescence just now did not appear!
A couplet, that is, one or two minutes, even writing faster is not necessary. Soon, everyone saw Ning Caichen stopping his pen. At this time, the two servants behind Lin Huaiyuan walked over with sharp eyes and held the couplet at Lin Huaiyuan and
Everyone stood up, allowing people to see the words on it clearly, but no one noticed that the two servants frowned when they picked up the couplet, and their hands shook slightly without checking!
"The frozen ice in the water makes snow worse!" Lin Huaiyuan's eyes lit up after he finished reading the previous sentence. He had a premonition that this was another rare couple, and it might even be another absolute. As soon as he thought about it, he couldn't wait to look at the next sentence: "The mist in the air is flying in the sky.
The sun is seen when the clouds are clear!”
After reading the last sentence, Lin Huaiyuan looked at Ning Caichen and found that Ning Caichen was looking at him with a smile on his face!
"Absolute!" Finally, Lin Huaiyuan spit out two words, looking at Ning Caichen with more appreciation and a hint of gratitude!
"Absolutely! It's also right!" Ning Caichen said in his heart!
In the crowd, when they heard Lin Huaiyuan's absolute comments, the crowd became turbulent again, and they looked absolutely, and they finished writing in less than a minute. It was amazing. They did not doubt Lin Huaiyuan's words. Don't you see that there are a few literati here besides Lin Huaiyuan? No one has any rebellious
Refute, and as Lin Huaiyuan's identity, he would not open his eyes to tell lies. The most important thing is that when they heard Lin Huaiyuan's recitation, they also felt that this couple was really good and they were not clear about it!
"I am worthy of being Mr. Ji Yuan's disciple!" Someone sighed that Ji Yuan was very famous, and now another Ning Caichen appeared, which made them sigh that famous teachers were excellent disciples! On the other hand, Boss Wang felt very cold in his heart. Seeing Ning Caichen write another one, he said, "I will be better."
Looking at the reactions of everyone around him, he felt that opening a shop next to Ning Caichen to sell couplets - it was a trick!
"Lin Wu!"
"master!"
Lin Huaiyuan screamed, and saw a strong-looking servant with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a sharp face, and a tall figure walked behind Lin Huaiyuan, took out a purse and handed it to Lin Huaiyuan. Lin Huaiyuan took out eight coins from the purse and placed it on the table.
"For this painting, Lin thanked Mr. Ning, a little money to express his gratitude!"
"Mr. Lin is polite!" Ning Caichen smiled and glanced at the table, but this glance, his eyes fluctuated because these eight coins were not copper coins, but silver coins. Eight silver coins were all silver and white, reflecting light in the sunlight, Ning Caichen felt a little worried.
He jumped unscrupulously, then turned his head to Lin Huaiyuan and said, "Master Lin, this is a bit too much!"
"This couplet is worth the price!" Lin Huayuan did wave his hand, and then walked out straight!
"So, Caichen thanked Mr. Lin!"
Seeing Lin Huaiyuan walking out, Ning Caichen stopped saying anything, and said politely, then looked at the eight silver coins on the table, picked them up in his hand, and said something unscrupulous, he was worried that the eight silver coins would fly, and outside, the crowd was also exploding.
, all kinds of amazement, envy, jealousy, and hatred, and even many people showed greedy eyes, but did not take action!
Not to mention Boss Wang next door, he felt so sad and angry - why is the gap between people so big? Eight silver coins may not be earned for half a year. For a moment, he felt the urge to find a piece of tofu to kill him!
"Young Master, this is really a silver coin!" Ning Shan approached Ning Caichen's side, and his eyes were bulging at the eight silver coins in Ning Caichen's palm, feeling like a dream!
"What do you say!"
Ning Caichen gave Ning Shan a blank look and felt a little contempt when he saw this guy. Isn’t it just eight silver coins? As for how he loses his composure like this?
But then again, when I first saw these eight silver coins, Ning Caichen's heart was shocked, because the money was really a lot, one silver coin was equal to one hundred copper coins, and the monthly expenses of an ordinary family of four were only three or four silver coins, eight
Silver coins are enough for an ordinary family of four or four to live for more than two months. In this society where food and clothing are problems, eight silver coins are no less than a huge sum of money!
Ning Caichen just wrote a pair for Lin Huaiyuan, with the purpose of paying attention to making money. He even used some thoughts when writing a pair. The pair was specially written for Lin Huaiyuan. He could see that Lin Huaiyuan's situation seemed to be very bad these days, and he thought it was him.
The dirty things he mentioned this time, so he used some thoughts. The four words in the last couplet, "The clouds open and the sun are seen!" said everything!
In his opinion, Lin Huaiyuan might be satisfied with his couplets and would give him more money, but he didn't expect to give so much, so he was shocked! Eight silver coins are like a huge sum of money for ordinary purposes, but Lin Huaiyuan just bought a couplet like this.
This is a rich man! He spends a lot of money!
Finally, Ning Caichen couldn't say anything anymore, so he could only sigh that being rich means being willful, and it would be great if he met more such rich people!
After sighing, Ning Caichen's eyes noticed the eight silver coins in his hand. I have to say that these eight silver coins were too timely for him now!
"Brother, it's so much money!" At this time, Bai Xue also came over and looked at the money in Ning Caichen's hand. She had never seen so much money before!
"How is it, do you like it?" Ning Caichen turned his head and looked at Bai Xue with a smile: "Brother gives you one!"
As he said that, Ning Caichen took out a silver coin and handed it to Bai Xue!
"No!" In response to Ning Caichen's surprise, Bai Xue shrank back and shook her head and said, "This is my brother's money, Xiaoxue can't ask for it!"
"Ha!" This time, Ning Caichen was a little stunned. Looking at Bai Xue's firm look, she sighed for no reason. This little girl is really not good, but Bai Xue's appearance has made her more determined to Ning Caichen's idea of giving her money.
Because Bai Xue's weak little body was only wearing two thin linen clothes, which were thinner than what he wore, and even patched in many places. Now the temperature difference between morning and evening is now, the weather is cold when there is no sun. How can a seven-year-old girl bear it? People are feeling a little sad:
"Didn't you call me brother? It's natural for me to give my sister money, take it!"
"No!" At this time, Bai Susu ran over, hugged Bai Xue, and said to Ning Caichen: "Thank you, Mr. Ning, but you have helped us enough, and we can't take your money!"
Bai Susu shook her head and said with a firm look on her face!
"I...!" Ning Caichen opened his mouth, but seeing that the mother and daughter both looked determined and didn't want money, he could only sigh: "Forget it!"
He could see that both Bai Susu and Bai Xue were wearing very thin clothes, and the family must be in a bad condition, but he refused his money!
"Okay, okay, I won't give it to you! Go and buy tofu, Xiaoxue is here to play with it, there is a stool, and you can rest if you are tired!"
"Well, thank you Mr. Ning!"
Seeing that Ning Caichen stopped giving money, Bai Susu seemed relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. She kissed Bai Xue on the forehead and said something to Bai Xue's ear, then went back to buy tofu! Bai Xue sat back on the stool, with her small hands supporting her chin and her big eyes pounced on her.
Looking at Ning Caichen with a flash, she was so cute!
"Dashan, go out and buy something!" Bai Susu left, and Ning Caichen called Ning Shan over and gave him four silver coins: "You go buy three quilts, remember to ask for that thick quilt. By the way, let's buy Xiaoxue a set of small cotton coats back!"
"Ah!" Ning Shan's eyes widened and he looked at Ning Caichen in confusion!
"What, I'll tell you to go!" Ning Caichen said with his eyebrows: "I bought a quilt and put two beds home. It's the two of us, one bed, it's a bit cold at night. You can get the other bed and cotton coat here for me to bring it back for Xiaoxue and the others to take it back.
!Go quickly, why are you watching me do?"
