In the other courtyard, Lin Yehuo was watching Liangchenmei practicing while eating grapes with the fourth child.

The fourth son is still busy drawing his manuscript of Blood Cage Pictures. Although he only tinkers with it for a while every day, he has already drawn most of it.

Lin Yehuo ate a grape by himself, stuffed one into his mouth, picked up the grape skins himself, and even stretched out his hand to help the little fourth son pick it up, going back and forth in a hurry.

Xiao Liangzi and the others were watching here while they were practicing. They always felt that the movement of the fire phoenix was very distracting.

Lin Yehuo watched the fourth child draw pictures and reminded him, "Practice with concentration. What are you looking at? Practice ten more times without stopping!"

The three little guys quickly went back to practice.

Over there, Huofeng reached out and poured a cup of tea for the fourth son, asking him to rest for a while before writing so he wouldn't be tired.

In good times, Meidu aims at Huofeng - your partiality is so obvious!

Huo Feng twisted his face and stared, "Want to practice a hundred times?!"

The three children turned around and continued practicing.

At this time, Zou Liang came in from outside.

In the past few days, General Zuo, except when he was eating, had basically been a dragon without seeing the end of the dragon. At this time today, he came unexpectedly, and he was not wearing soft armor.

Walking to the stone table in the courtyard, Zou Liang sat down and picked a grape to eat.

Lin Yehuo looked at him.

Zou Liang was eating grapes and asked him, "Are you going out to play?"

Huo Feng was suspicious, "You don't have to be busy?"

Zou Liang said while eating grapes, "The marshal said he would take a day off for me and let me go out and play for a while. It's a good day."

Lin Yehuo was surprised, "Is Zhao Pu so interesting?"

Zou Liang nodded, "But you have to wear Qinglin."

Huofeng nodded and nodded, indicating that this was easy to handle and Qinglin was obedient and well-behaved.

"We also need to bring the emperor with us..."

When Zou Liang spoke, Huofeng looked at the sky, "So Zhao Pu would rather work for you and lead the imperial army than accompany his nephew out, right?"

Zou Liang ate the grapes and nodded, "That's probably what it means."

After weighing it up, Lin Yehuo felt that it was indeed a lot of work to go out with Zhao Zhen, but the mute was finally free, so let's go out together.

"Where are we going? Going to the lake?" Huo Feng asked.

Zou Liang shook his head and said, "Just now, Qian Yi came in and said that the Jianghu people in the city were preparing for a martial arts competition, and then the emperor happened to hear it."

Huofeng sighed - Is that okay?

Liangchenmei, who was practicing martial arts, also looked over, "A competition? Is it to choose the leader of the alliance?"

"Awesome!" Shen Yuanchen and Tang Luomei both said that after practicing for so long, it was the first time they had to choose an alliance leader!

"Tianzun is also the chosen alliance leader!" Xiao Liangzi became excited.

Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang both looked at Xiao Liangzi with some helplessness - how could the martial arts bears be compared with Tianzun at the same level? It was simply the distance between Jiuxiaoyue and Wuyang Turtle!

"Let's go see it!"

"I want to go too!"

Several children jumped up and down and said they wanted to follow him out.

Huo Fengxin said that Zhao Zhen alone is enough for fun, why would he bring you with him?

But before Lin Yehuo could come up with a good reason to reject the children, a voice came, "Okay, let's go together, it's so busy!"

Everyone turned around and saw Zhao Zhen running in.

Behind him were Nangong and Qinglin.

Qing Lin has been wearing a half-mask since he left Black Wind City, because half of his face is covered with blue scales, making it difficult to travel. Fortunately, there are a lot of people on the street recently, dressed in all kinds of clothes, and no one pays attention to him.

Qing Lin went out to play with a few Taixue students yesterday and was quite happy to come back. Today she was "entrusted with an important task" by Zhao Pu to assist Nangong in protecting Zhao Zhen.

The happiest person was Nangong, he finally had someone reliable who could help and was willing to help.

Lin Yehuo asked the fourth son if he was going, and the fourth son shook his head.

Liangchenmei immediately gathered around and asked, "Aren't Jin'er going? Let's go together!"

Lin Yehuo pointed at the three of them, "Look, Bibi, the fourth son, the fourth son has to work harder!"

The fourth son said, "No, I'll wait for dad to go to Lin'an Academy in a while. There will be a charity sale at the academy today."

"It just so happens that we can go together," Zou Liang said, "because the venue for the competition is near the academy."

…

At this time, inside Lin'an Academy.

Except for a few people from Taixue who were participating in the event for the first time, the other students were already familiar with the routine. Under the command of the masters, everyone moved all the tables out of the study and lined up in two rows, all the way from the courtyard.

Go to the gate.

All the talented people had prepared things to sell and gathered together to "set up stalls". In addition to selling calligraphy and paintings, many people also sold their unused instruments, books, etc. It was like a small market. It was very

of excitement.

Lin Xiao and Xie Yan were arranged at the innermost position of the academy. They were the most famous in Hangzhou, and the most people came to ask for their poems and paintings. This meant that everyone had to go to the innermost part of the academy, and they would pass by

The idea of ​​all "booths" to boost the popularity of each stall was Pang Yu's idea.

Zhao Lan and other talented girls also came. Yesterday, the girls took the maids in the palace to make a lot of jewelry, all of which were designed by Concubine Pang. Concubine Pang likes to dress up and look nice, so she studied many little girls.

The accessories are suitable for children to wear. They are novel in style and not expensive. The business is very good.

Pang Yu saw that there were many people here, so he came over to help organize the business, and Bao Yan was responsible for keeping accounts.

Wang Qi was in charge of collecting the seals, and Yiyi took a small box and counted the money. Before going out, several adults in the house told them how much money they had sold in total today, and all the adults doubled their donations.

Eight of Yiyi's ten fingers were holding gauze. Pang Yu was shocked when he saw it and asked her what she was doing? Practicing iron sand palm?

Yiyi muttered, "It won't hurt if you really practice Iron Sand Palm."

Zhao Lan came over and said, "Yi Yi can hold the knife but not the needle! Wow! Yesterday I pierced a bead, and when I pierced one, I poked myself. With my ten fingers, I only held the two that were not covered by the needle.

Poke, everything else is on target!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, but luckily Lin Yehuo saw it.

Yiyi pouted, and Zhao Lan coaxed her, "What's wrong with not knowing how to sew? We, Yiyi, are the ones who do big things! We will be generals in the future! Just like Sister Li Yan and the others!"

Yiyi smiled and nodded.

At this time, Ge Qing, who had gone out to arrange the shadow guards, ran in. Seeing Lin Xiao holding a teapot and drawing slowly, he pointed at the long queue and said, "Oh, the queue is already at the door.

!There are fifty reservations today!"

Lin Xiao frowned, "Fifty? Who made the reservation? How is it possible to finish the painting?"

Pang Yu poked at him, "One reservation is five hundred taels, how much do you think it is?"

"No!" Zhao Lan was dissatisfied, "We can't even sell a hairpin for even one tael of silver here!"

Yiyi stretched out her hand and showed Lin Xiao the gauze on her finger, expressing her dissatisfaction!

Lin Xiao was helpless, "I have to draw fifty pictures until next year..."

"Tsk, tsk." Pang Yu continued with his bad idea, "If you draw a particularly big one, then fold it and cut it into fifty pieces, as long as one person's palm is larger than the other!"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this money fraud?"

"Who said that? Your paintings in Kaifeng city start at 10,000 taels per foot, but you are not satisfied with buying a palm-sized piece at 500 taels?!" Pang Yu, the supervisor, urged Lin Xiao to paint quickly and work hard to make money!

Lin Xiao shook his head and continued painting.

Compared to him, Xie Yan was much more relaxed.

Mr. Xie does not need to compose poems on the spur of the moment. The long line of people in front of him are all holding his collection of poems. He only needs to be responsible for signing his name in the collection of poems.

Pang Yu didn't think he was good at writing or martial arts, but he had a lot of clever ideas. He even had five hundred copies of Xie Yan's poetry printed in advance and placed them for purchase at the door. All of them were sold out at once. He also had people sell them at the door.

There were not enough fans with Xie Yan's poems. A group of bookboys went to major fan shops in Hangzhou to buy fans with Xie Yan's poems to replenish their supplies. They only had a few taels each, and dozens of them were transferred.

Many girls came in holding fans of poetry collections to sign for Xie Yan.

Xie Yan and Lin Xiao alone contributed tens of thousands taels to the charity sale today, which was enough to build a building, not to mention a porridge shop.

The ladies in the academy were very happy. Yiyi continued to stretch out her hand to show everyone the gauze on her fingers. The talented ladies were very dissatisfied. It was not fair to make money without hard work!

While we were busy here, we heard a burst of noise outside, and it didn't seem like the students were making the noise. The words they spoke were quite vulgar and their voices were not low.

Zhao Lan asked Ge Qing to go see what was going on outside.

Ge Qing had seen it before and said helplessly, "There are a lot of Jianghu people in the big garden next door, setting up a ring and competing..."

"A fight?!" Pang Yu and the others were curious.

"Isn't it a rule of Lin'an Prefecture that no private fights are allowed?" Bao Yan was puzzled.
