Chapter 12 Spring is full of heaven and earth and the door is full of blessings
Chapter 12 Spring fills the universe with blessings ()
The uncle and sister-in-law were walking on the slippery road. The scholar in front of him would occasionally stop. He squatted on the roadside, picked up something, and bargained with the vendors, but in the end he shook his head and did not buy it.
Down.
Liu Qingqing walked behind, watching all this quietly, her brows still not raised.
To be honest, she wasn't used to Lu Heng's occasional frivolous words, but she could also tell that the other party didn't mean anything frivolous. Those words he said might just be due to his personality.
Suddenly, Lu Heng in front stopped and looked back at him. Liu Qingqing was stunned for a moment and quickly turned her eyes aside.
"Hey, there are people selling Spring Festival couplets at this time?" Lu Heng pointed to a small shop on the roadside with a puzzled look on his face. He turned his head and originally wanted to tell Liu Qingqing. But when he saw that the other party was obviously going to
Turning his head to the side, out of embarrassment, he could only talk to himself.
"It's so strange!" After finishing this sentence, Liu Qingqing finally couldn't help it. She smiled, looked over again when she saw the other party, and hurriedly straightened her face. She replied lightly: "What's so strange?
, the Chinese New Year will be here in ten days, and selling couplets is normal now!"
During the Spring Festival, Lu Heng was stunned for a moment.
To be honest, since I came to this world, I have been living in a haze. Although I have a job and income, I always feel like I am in a dream. The sudden rebirth, the ladies and talents passing by, and the
With this peaceful Jiangning City, everything is as unexpected as a dream.
Just like the thin mist on the Qinhuai River that never seemed to dissipate, the smoke and waves circulated, but never revealed its true appearance. Several times, he thought that maybe one day, he would suddenly emerge from this unforgettable dream.
wake up.
Then, everything will disappear.
A gust of slightly cold wind blew by, sending a hint of coolness into his collar. Lu Hengmu Ran woke up from deep thought.
The cries of small vendors gradually became clearer in my ears. The attic streets, like refined meticulous paintings, also regained their appearance in my eyes.
It’s Spring Festival, no wonder the weather is so cold!
Lu Heng took a deep breath, and the cold air dispelled the trace of melancholy in his mind.
It’s not a dream!
"What are you thinking about, uncle?" Unknowingly, Liu Qingqing had walked up to him. Lu Heng turned his head and saw a touch of worry on Liu Qingqing's beautiful face. He felt a little warm in his heart.
"Uh, no more. I was thinking just now that time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, another year has passed!" Lu Heng smiled faintly. Yes, in the blink of an eye, he was born in two lives. The previous life
Maybe everything was just a dream. But now, it is my real life.
"Well, I think so too! A few years ago, when I went to the street with Grandma Zhang, I was still clamoring for some candied haws, but now, oh, I'm already a married woman!" Liu Qingqing smiled brightly, like a spring day.
Flowers bloom.
Lu Heng smiled: "When I think about these years, it really feels like a lifetime ago!"
He said this casually, with a faint smile on his face. As if he remembered something, the look in his eyes was a little erratic.
"Uncle is different from before!" Liu Qingqing lowered her head and said softly.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "People always have to grow up! Haha!"
Feeling that the topic seemed a bit heavy, Lu Heng laughed and scolded himself for looking for trouble. What are you talking about when you are celebrating the Chinese New Year? You are sentimental, just like the resentful wife of that family.
"I just found out today that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Just in time, let's buy some New Year's goods and celebrate the Chinese New Year well!" In my memory, ever since the Lu family fell into decline and the two moved to a small house by the river, it has always been deserted.
There is never anything special about New Year, the house is as cold as a dilapidated mountain temple with no one in it.
Lu Heng said it was done, and after saying something to Liu Qingqing, the two of them walked towards the small shop selling Spring Festival couplets.
After entering the store, Lu Heng was looking through the couplets, while Liu Qingqing stood there, raising her small cheeks and looking at the Spring Festival couplets hanging on the wall.
"As time goes by, people live longer, so why is there only the first couplet?" Liu Qingqing frowned slightly and said to herself.
The boss on the side came over and said with a smile: "Madam, I don't know something. This is a couplet left by a talented man who visited the shop a few days ago. Many people have come here these days, but there are no good ones.
Second line!"
Liu Qingqing smiled at the shop owner and asked softly: "Then, why didn't the scholar leave the second couplet?"
The shop owner scratched his head, and finally said with an honest smile: "It's not that I don't want to stay, but at that time, after the scholar said the first couplet, he couldn't think of the second couplet after thinking for a long time. I guess he was right.
Don’t come out!”
At this time, Lu Heng on the side walked over, holding a gold ink in his hand, looking through it for a while and saying: "The boss is also a smart man. You hang this couplet here, which not only brings popularity
, I have a good reputation again. Boss, you have made a small fortune!"
The boss blushed and defended: "Young Master, you can't say that. I hung this couplet here just to let others see it. If you can show it, I bought it in the shop today.
This little old man will give you these things for free?"
"Is this true?" Lu Heng looked at the shop owner with a smile and tilted his head and asked.
"Every spittle drives a nail!" the shop owner said, holding his chest high and looking impassioned.
"If that's the case!" Lu Heng groped his chin and thought for a moment, then raised his head and glanced at the couplet again, and nodded: "If that's the case, then okay!"
"Uh, sir, can you tell me this?" The shop owner was a little dumbfounded.
Liu Qingqing on the side also looked at Lu Heng with some surprise. She knew that Lu Heng might be good at handwriting, but he probably didn't have the talent to compose couplets and poems. Now, looking at him, he looked so calm.
It looks light and seems to have a well-thought-out plan.
Liu Qingqing was surprised, but also vaguely expected.
"Try it!" Lu Heng smiled and said, "It should be about the same. This couplet, uh, should be fine. Can the boss lend me some pen and ink?"
The store owner said something confused and took down the prepared pen and ink from the counter.
Lu Heng picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink. He walked forward with even breathing and stood still in front of the couplet.
The atmosphere in the store was a bit depressing, including several customers who came to the door. They held their breaths and stared directly at the scholar in a gray cloth gown. Also, the end of his pen was frozen in the air.
Finally, when everyone was about to lose their breath, the scholar had an indifferent smile on his face, held the brush with his fingers, and lowered the tip of the pen steadily and forcefully.
The elegant calligraphy, the majestic block letters, and the exquisite handwriting appeared in front of everyone as the pen moved.
Everyone was praising the calligraphy. When they saw the second line on the red paper, their voices stopped.
Everyone just looked at the couplet quietly, and looked at the scholar who had put away his brush. Their eyes were full of surprise and shock.
"As time goes by, people live longer, and spring fills the universe with blessings!" Liu Qingqing stood aside, following Lu Heng's elegant pen, and softly read out this perfect second line.
After reciting the complete couplet in her mind again, Liu Qingqing looked aside with complicated eyes, Lu Heng, who started to choose free things in the store with a proud look on his face, sighed slightly in his heart.
This second line of the second line is magnificent and full of artistic conception, expressing people's good expectations for the future during the New Year. Moreover, both the literary talent and the artistic conception are excellent. It fully reveals the atmosphere of the New Year. Even
It's a higher level.
Liu Qingqing was a little worried and a little scared.
She felt that her insistence on Lu Heng to work in the palace seemed like a mistake.
Maybe, uncle can really succeed in the exam and get a top spot on the gold list. But, now, everything is...
Liu Qingqing raised her head and her eyes followed Lu Heng's smiling face. She wanted to say something in her heart, but she didn't know how to say it.
At this time, a clear sound of applause suddenly burst in from the door, and Liu Qingqing hurriedly gathered her mood. Looking up, she saw a noble man wearing a white gown, holding a folding fan in his hand, and smiling broadly.
He looked at the couplets on the wall, clapped his hands and praised: "Good couplets, good pairings, good artistic conception!"
