Chapter 710 IX Writing Spring Festival Couplets Competition

The next day, Shixiang Pavilion was also very busy, so He Jinyi hired a carriage and went to the academy to move He Qinfeng and the others, bedding, books and other things back home.

When He Qinfeng, He Qinzheng and the others packed up their things at home, He Qinmao thought that he would finally have a few days to rest, so he wanted to go to the Shixiang Pavilion, if it didn't work, he could help.

He went to He Qinfeng and the others to discuss it, and several people agreed to go there. They felt that they would go there to help, meet people from all over the place, and chat with them to learn a lot of things that are not in books.

The four of them went to Shixiang Pavilion on foot, and before they reached the entrance, they saw a long queue of carriages outside on the street, and the noise was very lively.

"Our restaurant business is so good." He Qinmao's eyes lit up. Although he heard that his restaurant was famous in the academy, he didn't know that it was so popular, so he almost put a bunch of benches outside. , Let the diners wait in line outside.

The four of them had a strong scholarly spirit, and they were four of them, so they were very attractive. As soon as they entered, they attracted the attention of many people.

Zhao Shuangxi happened to come down in a hurry upstairs. When he saw the four of them coming, he was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly called the four of them to a quiet place behind.

"You guys are not staying at home, why are you here?" Zhao Shuangxi looked at them in puzzlement, while thinking of going back to the front to have a look.

"Mom, we're fine at home, and we're busy here soon after the Chinese New Year, so let's come and help." He Qinfeng still replied gently.

Zhao Shuangxi was a little hesitant, and felt that something was wrong, just as He Lanshan was about to go to the kitchen at the back to pick up something, saw them and heard their words, she hurried up to express her refusal.

"No!" Zhao Shuangxi and the others were taken aback by He Lanshan's anxious voice, and turned to look at her.

He Lanshan walked towards them, and explained to He Qinfeng and the other four in a serious manner, "Big Brother, Second Brother, and Cousin, all of you are going to participate in the Spring Festival next year, and you will be officials in the future. If you help serve food here, what will it look like when it gets out in the future?"

Although He Lanshan didn't look down on any industry in her heart, there was no way in this dynasty, the government and the people were different.

She turned her head and said to He Qinmao, "Third brother, you can't do it either. You will also take the scientific examination in the future."

After being reminded by He Lanshan, they really felt that the decision just now was really ill-considered. Fortunately, she reminded them in time.

"I understand that you want to help your family, but this place is no different than Wangyue Mansion, or when you were in the county town. In the future, you must be more cautious and careful about your words and deeds."

He Lanshan reminded them again, and this point is really important to them, if they really become officials, they will not be sloppy in every word or deed.

Zhao Shuangxi also reacted, shouting in her heart that she almost made a mistake, so she hurriedly urged them to go home, as long as there are a few of them here.

But at this time, He Lanshan smiled and pulled Zhao Shuangxi back to explain, "Mom, even though I said brother and the others can't help us with work, I didn't say that they can't show up."

Everyone looked at her in puzzlement, He Lanshan smiled and said to Zhao Shuangxi, "Mother, you forgot what we agreed yesterday to ask Brother and the others to write a few couplets?"

"That's right, you see, my mother is too busy to forget." Zhao Shuangxi slapped her forehead, thinking that this is indeed a very important matter, and this matter can only make the four of them write beautifully. people to do it.

"Mother, go and get you pens, ink, paper and inkstones." Zhao Shuangxi happily went to get things from the counter, and added before leaving, "You guys write more, we have a lot of yards, and there is a restaurant to post. There are also many places for couplets, and everything written can be used.”

He Lanshan also asked people to move the table and chairs to the backyard, and after waiting for the things Zhao Shuangxi brought to be arranged, she asked her brothers to start writing later, and she went to tell the guests, if anyone likes to read Guests can come and watch from the spacious backyard.

When she went to call someone, He Qinfeng and the others were already gearing up and couldn't wait to pick up a pen and splash ink.

He Qinmao was the most active and suggested, "Although you are all better at learning than me, I don't necessarily write Spring Festival couplets worse than you."

"Let's have a competition. Let's write a copy first. Let the guests who come to watch the fun choose the one they like and think is the best. The person who gets the most affirmation will win." He Qinmao's eyes rolled quickly, and then Said, "At that time, the winner will be able to make a request to the rest, and they can do whatever they want."

As the eldest brother, He Qinfeng has always been gentle and caring for his younger brothers. He is not afraid of losing, so he naturally agreed to his request with a smile on his face.

He Qinzheng and He Qinzheng glanced at each other, and also thought his proposal was very interesting, and the guests from outside didn't know them, it all depends on the quality of the couplet and their preferences, it's very challenging, so they decided to join in and compete together .

After a few people made an agreement, He Lanshan went in to promote a wave, and soon she came back with more than 20 people.

Those people seemed to be well-educated and elegant in their attire, so they surrounded the He Qinfeng brothers with great interest, and began to applaud them to hurry up and make a pair.

He Lanshan also had some free time, standing at the innermost part of the crowd to watch the excitement.

She put her hands behind her back, stood on tiptoe slightly, watched them think for a while, and then started to write on the paper with a splash of ink.

Before the complete sentence was finished, some people in the lively crowd could not wait to read the words that could be seen.

He Lanshan struggled to read the words, so she raised her eyes and scanned the words written by several people.

To be honest, she thinks that He Qinfeng and He Qinzheng's handwriting is the best. He Qinzheng's handwriting looks colder and sharper, just like his character, although He Lanshan feels that in her heart, his He Qinfeng's character is not as likable as He Qinfeng's, but she thinks his handwriting is the prettiest.

She was thinking that He Qinzheng was the first to write the Spring Festival couplets. He carefully looked at the words he wrote, and overall he was satisfied.

He leaned over slightly and shook the couplet he wrote, trying to dry the ink on the paper quickly.

He Lanshan was a little far away from He Qinzheng's position, and she still couldn't see what he was writing. When she was curious, He Qinfeng and He Qinzheng had already finished writing.
