What a cheating husband

Although Shen Shuquan came from a poor family, he learned the rules since he was a child, he didn't eat or sleep, and Chen Qing was too embarrassed to talk while eating.

After eating the noodles, Chen Qing revealed her plan. Since she recognized this elder brother today and felt that his character was extraordinary, she decided to help her.

"Brother Shen, are you still used to using my brush? I don't know if the things I make at home are easy to use or not," Chen Qing asked tentatively.

"Ah Qing's craftsmanship is good, and my brother likes Langhao pens very much. I thought that if I met you again, I would definitely buy two more, but I didn't expect my brother to be gone for more than a month," Shen Shuquan said.

"Brother Shen is used to it. I wonder if elder brother has ever learned big characters?" Chen Qing asked.

"I have learned it since I was a child. Although my writing is not good, I have been praised by my teacher several times," Shen Shuquan said modestly.

"Brother Shen, can you use a pen that is as long as the ground? Is it a large pen that can be written directly on the ground?" Chen Qing didn't know what to say, and she was a little anxious to describe it with gestures.

"There has never been such a long brush. Where did Ah Qing hear about it? There are no students in the academy who have used it." Shen Shuyan has dabbled in all kinds of brushes, but he has never heard of anyone using such a long brush. wrote in large letters.

"The next township examination will be in two years. Brother Shen, you might as well practice more. If you have time, I will give you a gift, which will definitely help you to be appreciated by the nobles." Chen Qing passed the test with a smile.

"Brother, what can I do? Don't tease me as a brother, hurry up and talk to me." Shen Shuyan's eyes lit up, even if he put out his opportunistic thoughts, if he can get acquainted with noble people, he will definitely be able to help him, even if he can't help , as long as others don't get in the way of his future.

Chen Qingyuan wanted to wait for the pen to be delivered before telling him, and he couldn't guarantee that the trick would work, but seeing that Shen Shuyan was already anxious, he had to say first, "I don't guarantee that this method will work, but at least it will make you more attention , Wutong should attract the Phoenix to return, and the elder brother's talent and knowledge will definitely attract the bosom friend"

Chen Qing was also a playful person in modern times, and he often went to the park to stroll with his classmates in summer.Every day, I can see a few old people practicing calligraphy with extra-large brushes (there are also sponge-wrapped brush heads) on the park ground. There are always a group of people around to watch, and some calligraphy lovers come forward to chat and discuss their experiences.

At that time, it seemed like a pen and a bucket of water. A long book of poetry was written on the ground. Chen Qing didn't know how to appreciate it, but he knew that the writing was really beautiful.

The ground of the county town is paved with bluestone slabs, and the same is true for the provincial capital. If you find a flat ground and write some articles, it will definitely attract people to stop and watch. If you are lucky, you may be appreciated by nobles.

Shen Shu transcribed his eyes brightly. Although this method may be suspected of showing off, it is a good opportunity to gain a good reputation.Every year before the scientific examination, there are countless scholars who try their best to attract the attention of the governor. If he can write wonderfully, not only will he not show off his knowledge, but he will be praised, and it will also show the ethos and arrogance of a poor student.

"Brother Shen, if you can know the nobleman's travel route in advance and find a conspicuous place in advance, you will definitely be famous in one fell swoop. However, you must grasp the propriety, and don't disclose it to others in advance. Just wait for the blockbuster to become a blockbuster. Immediately be humble, so as not to Invite hostility and slander" Chen Qing thought deeply, and instilled all kinds of brains that came to mind when eating noodles into Shen Shuyan.

After Shen Shuyan heard this, he hurriedly searched around, and saw that there were no scholars around, and then he said with peace of mind, "Ah Qing's idea is very good, brother, I didn't bother to make troubles like those scholars, so I didn't have the opportunity to meet noble people. This method is a solution to my brother's urgent need, not only can it attract confidants, but it can also show off its talents and ambitions."

"The idea is a good idea. As long as you get the timing right, you will definitely be able to push brother Shen to the eyes of the nobleman." Chen Qing grinned, if he could really help Shen transcribe the book, it would be worthwhile for him to call himself a brother.

"Then Lao Aqing tailor-made a long pen for my brother, and it will be a generous gift for my brother." Shen Shuquan wanted to bow again, but before he got up, Chen Qing held him down.

"That's my brother, why bother to thank you? I'll come to you when I'm done." Chen Qing chuckled. He had been talking to the sour scholar for a long time, and even himself began to follow the words.

"Okay, let's meet here. I'll leave a message for the shopkeeper. If you come, tell the staff to look for me in the academy." It was because you offended Mr. Liang that day, and he lost his temper afterwards, and he promised to make you look good! Someone even searched for you in the county for several days, but luckily you didn’t come a few days ago.”

Chen Qing was surprised. He didn't expect that guy to hold grudges so much. He didn't care about it, and no one forced him to buy it. If you love to show off your wealth, can you blame others for killing him?"

Shen Shuquan heard that Liang Zijun was described as being taken advantage of, and couldn't help laughing, "This description is apt, isn't it just being taken advantage of! But it's better for Ah Qing to stay away, and don't talk to him when you meet him, this person holds grudges the most. , you let him be laughed at by the students for a long time. But don’t worry too much, it’s fine if he forgets about it after a while.”

"Well, I don't come to the county very often, and I don't come across him once in a while. At worst, I'll run away when I see him." Chen Qing said whatever came to his mind.

"I know you are a measured person, so I won't tell you more," Shen Shuquan said with a smile.

"There is no suitable animal hair at home for the time being, and I have to weigh the big pens carefully, so the next time I come to the county will be two months later." Chen Qing wanted to wait until the embroidery work was completed and send the things together.

"There are still two years before the next rural examination, so there is no rush," Shen Shuyan said.

……

This conversation lasted for half an hour. After Chen Qing said goodbye to Shen Shuquan, he went to find old man Chen for a ride back to Qingping Town.

Last time, the hundred sons and thousand grandsons picture heard from my aunt that it was sold for a good price, and the guests were quite satisfied, and even tipped an extra penny.

Chen Qing hid the silver money, and watched with satisfaction that there was half a tael more in it. When the silk in his hand was embroidered on time, he would get another three taels of silver.

The work received in the county is more than the money given by the town. If Chen Qing's hand speed is followed, the work received in the town will cost 2 taels a year at most, and they are all small pieces. There are at most two embroidered pieces a month, not to mention the time-consuming And the money they get is less.

Although it took a long time to take over the big job, the return was also rich. Chen Qing went home to hide the embroidery before sending money to the auntie.This time, Abi came back half an hour earlier, and Abi was quite happy. She happily handed her brother the dinner warmed in the pot, and then sat on the low stool and talked with her brother in a low voice.

The aunt also knew that winter was coming, and the herbs in the mountains were gone, so she sighed at the last payment.Seeing the arrival of winter, there are many places to spend money at home, and the Chinese New Year is the biggest expense.To buy sacrificial items and prepare a decent New Year's Eve dinner, these will cost money everywhere.

"Ah Qing, it looks like you're going to have a winter break, so it's not good to stay at home all day. If you have any work outside, you can accept subsidies to supplement the family. Otherwise, this year may not be good. Next year you My younger brother still needs to prepare for the boy's exam, which is also a fee, and after the boy's exam is passed as a scholar, our family will have a really easy life." The uncle murmured at the kitchen door with a sigh.

You haven't even passed the boy's test, so you want to miss the scholar?Chen Qing learned about the imperial examination system today, and he has no hope for Chen Ping. Shen Shuquan passed the boy's examination at the age of 10, and passed the examination of scholar at the age of 12. Such an idiot at the age of 13 even took the exams and exams for a boy. I really don't know where the uncle's confidence comes from.

Although he was disdainful in his heart, he honestly agreed, "Understood, Carpenter Chen's house is going to renovate the old house, I'll ask if we need to hire someone"

The aunt immediately laughed when she heard it, "Then go ask after you have eaten, so as not to be robbed first"

"Well, I heard Sanwazi mention it two days ago, maybe I'm not sure, I'll ask later." Chen Qing lowered her head and continued to eat Wotou and porridge, ignoring her auntie.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Miao Rencui happily went back to the house to count the money.

After the beginning of winter, the weather suddenly became cold, and the light rain brought ice slag, and soon it would snow. Chen Qing dug out the jacket early and put it on for his younger sister. Embroidery at home.

Fortunately, the day was postponed for half a month at the beginning, guessing that the aunt would not let him idle, so she refused to take on urgent work, otherwise Chen Qing would have finished embroidering this embroidery in a month.

Farmers mostly leave their work in the slack season, building houses in summer, and slaughtering pigs and entertaining guests in winter. Whenever there is something to do, it can be lively for several days.The daughter of Uncle Chen's family next door got married, and asked Chen Qing to help carry the dowry.

Most of the helpers in the same village do not pay wages, so the part-time workers Chen Qing receives are all jobs in other villages. However, most of the slack farming is labor, so it is really hard to find part-time workers.No one pays someone to do it unless it's a tough job.

After entering the winter solstice, the north wind is cold, and every family hides in the house to cat winter. Unless the weather is fine, they don’t want to go out for a walk. Even Chen Qing has no work to do. The product is finished.

The winter here in Qingping Town is not as cold as the weather in the north. Occasionally, the snow will cover your feet at most, but if you don't burn the kang in the house, it will be cold and people will shiver.

Rich families disdain to build a kang, at most they build a warm house in the main room. The bedrooms are made of bamboo beds or carved wooden beds, and a brazier is lit in the house to burn charcoal for warmth.

Chen Qing and Chen Bi embroidered on the heated kang all day long, feeling that their buttocks were about to be scorched with calluses.

"Brother, put less firewood next time, it's too hot." Chen Bi tilted her buttocks and moved to the kang to sit for a while.

"It will be cold in a while, and it will be warmer if you burn the house more." Chen Qing didn't move, and continued to sit and embroider on the hot kang.He likes to sit on the heated kang the most. It is so hot that he feels warm in his heart. He remembers that when he was a child, he was most envious of people with heated kang. It is said that sleeping on it in winter is always comfortable.

But at that time, I never got my wish, and now I sleep on it every day, and I think it is the most comfortable to sleep on the kang in winter.

It was always windy these two days, and her cheeks were sore with snowflakes, but Chen Qing was happy, her uncle wouldn't suddenly come over to make a surprise inspection this day, and the two of them could embroider with peace of mind after locking the door.
