flick of the fingers

Fang Lansheng's teeth were chattering, and he accidentally bit his tongue, and he woke up from the pain. When he opened his eyes, he saw a bare arm resting on the quilt, and quickly stuffed it back.While warming his arms, he scanned the room.Baili Tusu disappeared without a trace as usual, a brazier was placed in the corner of the room, and the red charcoal fire burned all night, and the gray and white embers still had some heat.It was cloudy outside the window, it must not be a cool day.

Fang Lansheng sat up, scratched the bed with his hands for a while, gritted his teeth and gave up the big woolen clothes on the bedside, put on the thin clothes on his body, added a woolen coat, and just jumped off the floor.As soon as he opened the door, he felt that something was wrong, just as Hongyu was walking up the stairs, he immediately cursed. "Look at this monkey looking for death! If you dare to go out and stand for a while wearing this, it won't freeze you to death!"

Fang Lansheng regretted it at first, but he became angry at the scolding, and looked at Hongyu and said, "You female monster, you still have the nerve to say that others are not dressed in the same fashion?"

Hongyu said: "I am a female monster. Are you a monster?"

Fang Lansheng threw a rock at his foot, and couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.At this time, Xiangling jumped in from outside, wearing a little red jacket that couldn't cover her waist, and a white silk skirt that just reached her knees, and shouted to him: "It's snowing, it's snowing, it's snowing! —Brother Tu Su is here Let's make a snowman for Xiangling outside!"

Fang Lansheng didn't bother to pursue the second part of the sentence, and hurriedly asked: "Hey, you are wearing thin clothes! Are you not cold?"

Xiangling gave him a white look and said, "Xiangling is a fox. Are you a fox?"

Fang Lansheng was smashed twice in a row, and he was so miserable that he supported the wall, thinking that he would grow up to be Pan An Songyu, and people would look at you.Immediately went back and wrapped himself into a ball with big woolen clothes, and then walked out of the inn with a grunt.I was startled when I saw it, it was white everywhere, covered with jade and silver, how many sentences I read in books since I was a child, and now it was blocked in my chest, I couldn't come up with a word to describe it, and I could only yell for a long time : "It's snowing!" I wish I could plunge into the snowdrift. "It turns out that this is snow! It turns out that snow looks like this!"

After howling for a long time, she suddenly felt that everyone was looking at him like some kind of animal. Xiangling snorted and said, "What's the fuss? I've never seen Xue before?"

It's no wonder that Fang Lansheng grew up in the Jiangnan Water Village, his eyes are full of spring breeze and willows, and he has never seen bitter cold weather.If you can't get off the stage for a while, you pick a soft persimmon and squeeze it, and ask Feng Qingxue, who has never seen the world, "Have you seen snow?"

Feng Qingxue formed a snowball, the black gloves reflected the white, it was shockingly bright, and said with a smile, "Well - although we don't have four seasons, I have seen snow!"

Fang Lansheng hit a snag and scolded himself for being stupid. His name has the word Xue in it. If he had never seen Xue before, he pointed at Baili Tusu again: "Don't pretend to be so knowledgeable with a wooden face! Didn't you just escape down the mountain?" How many days have you been here?"

Before Baili Tusu could answer, Hongyu smiled and said, "Monkey, you're a master of the axe. Mr. Baili is in the Kunlun sect, and the snow doesn't melt all year round. Compared with that, this is nothing."

Baili Tusu glanced at Hongyu and said calmly, "Not bad."

Fang Lansheng was even more disappointed, but after all, it was the first time he saw such a beautiful scenery, so he didn't care about it for a while, and started chasing each other in the snow with Feng Qingxue and Xiangling.Baili Tu Su patiently and meticulously built a snowman beside him, Hongyu poked her head out and shouted, "Don't you have breakfast yet?"

Xiangling brushed the snow off her body, went over to see the snowman, it was roughly formed, but his face was blurred, and said, "Brother Tusu, is it all right?"

Baili Tusu said: "The only difference is the nose and eyes."

"What are nose eyes?"

Baili Tusu explained. "The nose is a carrot and the eyes are cinders."

Xiangling was about to go to the kitchen to ask for it, but was stopped by Fang Lansheng: "You have been playing for a long time, you go to eat first, I just went to the kitchen to see if there are any ingredients, and I can cook for you what you want."

I picked up the fresh snow that hadn't been stepped on all the way, and heard the creaking sound, and jumped to the backyard.First I saw a few little red plums in the corner, and I was so happy that I even forgot what I was here for. I sneaked over to try to pick a branch, and suddenly heard a roar: "You trash!"

Fang Lansheng trembled in fright, and when he looked at it tremblingly, it turned out that the owner of the inn was scolding a fellow. "What do you think you can do? You can't lift your shoulders, you can't lift your hands. It's the New Year, and you can't even buy a pair!"

The guy was eager to argue. "No, you see, there are a lot of people asking Mr. Wang for a pair this year—there are so many! I sincerely beg, and Mr. Wang said that from the fifteenth onwards, he started writing every day when the sun was not clear. No way, it goes all the way down to the end of the year. He’s not the only one who writes a pair, so why don’t we change to another house?”

"Fart, what do you know!" the innkeeper shouted. "We are such a small town, the graves of the three generations of our ancestors don't grow grass, and only Mr. Wang has been selected as a tribute student. We do small business, and we are illiterate, so we all ask Mr. Wang to write, which is auspicious. And Mr. Wang is good!— —If you don’t ask for Mr. Wang’s words, do you want Xitou Cai Xiucai’s hands to crawl? I can’t afford to lose this man!”

Fang Lansheng got impatient and jumped out by himself. "Shopkeeper, look what you're worried about. With me, a great talent, here, why bother to find someone else?"

Both of them were startled, and when they took a closer look, it was a scholar who was one of the weird people who had been staying here for the past two days.The shopkeeper snorted, "Young master, what kind of fame have you achieved?"

Fang Lansheng said disdainfully: "Look at the vulgarity, I didn't say that, you just look at the flat people like this, even if the emperor came to your store for a private visit, you wouldn't be able to recognize it, what do you want to make money! I am young, I don’t intend to be aggressive, otherwise, one person will take up the list! ——Aren’t you looking for a match? The young master has practiced calligraphy since he was a child, and the authentic Youjun style, so Mr. Wang can’t close his mouth when he sees it What! There are tens of millions of embarrassments in it, and I will keep you satisfied after reading it."

The two were dubious when they heard what he said, and the shopkeeper thought it would be no harm to let this arrogant young man try because he was in a hurry to go to the doctor anyway, so he said: "Little Sanzi, get this young master some red paper and ink. What is your surname?"

The corner of Fang Lansheng's mouth twitched. "Must your surname be Fang."

"If Mr. Fang writes it down, he can teach Xiao Ke to look at the pair he is satisfied with." The shopkeeper said very cunningly. "All the expenses for staying in the hotel will be waived, and I will express my gratitude."

Fang Lansheng said proudly: "It's easy to say. How many copies are there?"

The third son hurriedly said: "One pair on the door, five on the inside, a total of six pairs."

"Sixth Deputy, right? I'll write it out for you before noon!" Fang Lansheng rolled up his sleeves. "I know you can't trust me, and if you want to write it badly, won't it just cost you a few pens and paper money? At worst, I'll pay!"

He is a young man, he does what he says, and he forgets to eat breakfast. He took the pen and ink and went back to the house to spread it out. He drew up a few couplets meaning wealth and honor, first wrote on a piece of white paper, and then gestured red The layout of the paper is long and short, while picking up the pen to think about the size.

It's not like he's boasting, it's something he's used to doing at home.Naturally, it's not that the Fang family couldn't find famous handwriting, but Fang Lansheng was smart since he was a child, and after learning good handwriting, he cut red paper to write pairs every year for fun.The flavor of this family is stronger than that of other families. Monk Fang Tai was happy to post it outside, which attracted praise from the neighbors.At this time, I only wrote half a word when I picked up the pen, and suddenly I started to read home. ——This is 26.What kind of good material does the eldest sister bring?What new window grilles did the second sister cut?He is not at home, does anyone remember the pickled Laba garlic?Does anyone order the red plum petals of Nine-Nine-year-old Hantu every day?With a shake of my hand, the ink soaked into the backing paper under the red paper.

Suddenly the door rang, and Fang Lansheng hurriedly tore up the red paper, crumpled it up and threw it on the ground.Baili Tusu opened the door and came in, frowning: "I said I couldn't find you, so I hid here. The food is cold. Do you want to eat?"

Before Fang Lansheng had time to explain, Baili Tusu saw the mess on the round table and said, "How much money do you have?"

Fang Lansheng was taken aback, and asked back, "Why are you asking this?"

Baili Tusu said: "When did we get so poor that we need you to sell calligraphy for a living?"

Fang Lansheng was furious and dropped his pen. "I know that a dog can't spit out ivory! You see clearly, what kind of characters does the young master sell! This is the shopkeeper who wants me to write pairs for him!"

Baili Tusu said: "Write the pair? You?"

Fang Lansheng yelled: "Didn't you say that I am useless? I didn't think about it at the time, so I will tell you that I can write well no matter how hard I am, I am good at writing! Wang style is the best. You will?"

Baili Tusu said nothing, walked to the case, dipped his pen in the ink, and looked down at the pair drawn on the white paper. "The golden pot in the furnace spreads the delicacy, and the jade bowl in the cabinet brings in the fragrance-you wrote this for other people's kitchen?"

Fang Lansheng said, "What?"

Baili Tusu said: "It's too vulgar."

Fang Lansheng's head was on fire for several feet. "What do you know? It varies from person to person! You wrote too advanced a pair for this broken inn, and he still thinks he can't understand it! You have never heard of it before eating and drinking, and playing the piano with cows?"

Baili Tusu didn't listen to him, and had already written.Fang Lansheng was still cursing angrily for a long time, then suddenly came to his senses and rushed to the case. "Wooden face! It's fine if you don't understand, why are you messing around! There is a lot of this paper, don't think that you can play with it no matter what! If you write badly, you can buy me paper?"

Baili Tusu turned a deaf ear to it, and just stroked down one stroke at a time.Fang Lansheng became more and more irritable, and he stretched out his hand to draw the pen holder from above.When I was a child learning to read, I was the first one to hold the pen steadily. My husband would often walk behind me, and suddenly took the pen away from behind you.At this moment, when he drew it, the pen seemed to be cast in Baili Tusu's hand, and he couldn't pull it out.Looking at what he has written down again, I feel more and more that the horizontal is not horizontal, and the vertical is not vertical. I can't help but say: "You wrote this like a willow style--I didn't say that, haven't you practiced it well? The corner is not that How to write!..." He held the upper part of the pen holder.Baili Tusu neither let go nor exerted any strength, and let Fang Lansheng lead him away.

Fang Lansheng only wrote a few strokes, suddenly felt that something was wrong, hurriedly let go, grabbed the red paper from below, crumpled it and threw it on the ground, shouting: "This paper is useless again! —Wooden face, your words are Who did you learn from?" In fact, I think it looks pretty good, but I can't say it.

Baili Tusu shook his head and said, "I don't know which one it is, but I liked to imitate my master's handwriting when I was young."

Fang Lansheng thought that the wooden-faced master was skilled in swordsmanship and stern, and when he heard that he was not even good at calligraphy, he didn't know what kind of perfect person he was, so he said indiscriminately: "Come on, come on, if you want to write, just write Here's a pair for you to write.—Don't mess with me!"

Not long after Baili Tusu finished writing that copy, he came to see Fang Lansheng's writing again.It is written about the big pair on the door, surrounded by guests and friends, when the lights are cold all year round.Although the meaning is clumsy, it still makes sense, and it is enough to stick it on the door of this kind of people.Fang Lansheng just wrote the word 'lamp' when Baili Tusu suddenly said, "This is not right."

Fang Lansheng was so frightened that his hands shook, and he almost lost another one. He raised his head and said angrily, "You're scaring me to death!"

Baili Tu Su stretched out his finger to the word 'Sui Han' and said: "The atmosphere is quite different from the previous sentence."

Fang Lansheng sneered, "You got it again! What did you say changed it to?"

Baili Tusu said: "Change the word "Reunion" to make it lively and festive."

"..." Fang Lansheng rarely said anything, bowed his head and wrote as he said.

It was noon after finishing the writing of the couplets; Fang Lansheng was hungry, so she went out with a large stack of red paper to ask for credit.Although the shopkeeper didn't understand, but Fang Lansheng's writing was simple in meaning and the words were beautiful, so the shopkeeper never broke his promise, and organized his staff to post around, and at night he cooked a table of delicious food for everyone to eat.

After dinner, everyone set off firecrackers in the snow outside for fun, and the fire flags were planted on the snowdrifts, and one by one they flew into the sky, with golden and red traces one by one, sprinkled with fire ideas.Fang Lansheng let it go for a while, then slipped away when he saw the mistake, and went back to the room feeling bored, playing with the remaining red paper.

Suddenly someone said: "Xiangling has been looking for you for half a day. At this time, you are practicing calligraphy again?"

Fang Lansheng was startled, and looked down at the paper, column by column, layer upon layer, all of which were written with the phrase "When the lights are reunited in a year", she quickly tore up a post and covered it, and said irritably, "What are you doing here again? Hero of Baili, if Mr. Baili is not here, everyone will be disappointed."

The corners of Baili Tusu's mouth turned upward slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.Fang Lansheng said: "Don't smile, it looks disgusting."

Baili Tusu said: "I laugh at some people who don't know their blessings when they are blessed."

Fang Lansheng remembered that Baili Tusu's family was ruined and he was indeed homeless, but he was not convinced, so he sarcastically said: "You have the nerve to tell me, don't you have a place?——Why don't you want to go back?"

Baili Tusu said: "In short, it's not because someone forced the marriage."

Fang Lansheng knew that there was no chance of winning a bickering with this person, so he turned his eyes to the sky and said sullenly: "Forget it, I didn't go back anyway, I just want to keep you with a wooden face. So many people keep you company, what are you doing?" I cultivated it all my life?"

Somebody lit a whip, this time it was different from the small fight just now, but it was so loud that the tea bowls on the desk jumped slightly.Fang Lansheng was shocked and looked at Baili Tusu, who covered his ears and looked at him with frowns.Fang Lansheng also blocked his ears and opened his mouth wide.For a moment, it was separated from the noise outside.I said in my heart that there are gains and losses, and it is not bad to get together with this group of messy people, although this situation is not so much fate as bad luck.

But then there will be no regrets.Never never regret it.
