The peasant boy of crossing

After absent-mindedly finishing her meal, Li Xinyi began to write a reply letter to Wu Su.Because of Wu Su's admiration for Mr. Wei in his letter, he tried his best to use a tone of "I say whatever you want, and you just listen to it" to say what he heard while hiding from the rain that day that made him uneasy until now.

"Take the letter of Mr. Wei's student and visit Mr. Wei. If you can get a return visit from Mr. Wei, you can stop the nearby villagers from grazing cattle in his field. This is really the funniest thing I have ever heard. You enter After the city, I am very boring every day, and I just point to this joke to have fun, and now I tell you it, and let you have fun too."

"A Su, the people in the village are very happy that you can follow Mr. Wei, and they often praise you." Li Xinyi continued to write: "But there are some people who have teeth sour, insisting that there are other reasons for this. I have heard these words I just threw it away. I didn’t want to use it to disgust you. But Asu, I’m no longer the cowherd boy who only feeds cattle for five copper coins a day. I’m reliable, and this is the only thing I want to tell your."

Then, he described how and how he paints, how many paintings he can sell every day, and how much money he can get, without caring about how much water is in it.

"Angkor of Grandpa Wu's family introduced me a picture of 24 flowers, saying that the county magistrate wanted to give it to Mr. Wei. I couldn't shirk this matter, so I had to accept it. I don't know how much trouble it will be after the painting is completed. I I lost my father since I was young, and my only friend is you. For the sake of past friendship, if you can mention me a few words, I hope you will teach me a few words."

Finally expressing her worries, Li Xinyi took a long breath and continued to write: "I miss you very much, but you have a great future of your own. One day, I will never see you again. But people have joys and sorrows. It’s hard to be complete in ancient times. I look forward to your reply, and my heart pauses.”

Li Xinyi admits that he wrote this letter despicably, but he doesn't know the art of scheming, and 36 tricks are the best. He hopes that Ah Su will be well.At the same time, he also wanted to test his weight in Wu Su's heart. If he was just wishful thinking, then he should walk away.

Everyone has his own way to go, and he himself is just a solitary boat, fighting against the storm and the ups and downs of the waves in the boundless ocean.

Xu Shi let go of her worries, and Li Xinyi felt a lot more relaxed. She was in a very good state and finished painting camellia, narcissus and daphne in one breath.When the four paintings were placed together, the air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of flowers for a while, lingering and drifting away from the window.

Li Xinyi spent ten days painting all 24 flowers.He didn't stay too long, and sent the painting directly to Agong Wu's house.These paintings still need to be mounted into a book, and Wu Shen is in charge of taking care of these.

When Grandpa Wu saw these paintings, he praised them very much: "This flower painting is really not as good-looking as it is. Boy, I didn't expect you to have such talent. If I knew it earlier, what kind of rouge would I buy for the girl? Just this flower is enough to make the heart germinate."

Grandpa Wu clicked his tongue, and Li Xinyi was a little embarrassed.

Wu Shen, on the other hand, gave him a look with a probing look or something else.Li Xinyi vaguely felt that Wu Shen was a little upset that she said that she could only draw one flower a day, but she sent the painting in ten days.

Li Xinyi didn't take it to heart.

There are rules when it comes to money. 24 flowers give 24 silver coins, which is almost the same.It's just that when the money was transferred to Li Xinyi, there were only twelve taels left.Li Xinyi still didn't take it to heart.It's a one-shot deal, so what to do with so much.

In fact, ten taels is quite a lot. The current silver taels are not yet ready for inflation, and when converted into RMB, they are about seven or eight thousand. One month's salary, the key is to spend.

Li Xinyi had no expression on her face, but she was smiling when she got the money.

After waiting for half a month, Wu Su did not reply, and Li Xinyi felt cold in her heart.The Wu family sent the gift mentioned in Wu Su's letter - a colored clay sculpture of a shepherd boy riding a bull.It was rare that it was not broken all the way from the county seat. Li Xinyi looked at the palm-sized colorful clay sculpture and sneered in her heart.The little fat man said he missed him, but he was just talking about it.Heh, man.Then forget about him.

Let's say that Mr. Wei was surprised and pleasantly surprised when he received the gift.

What surprised him was of course not the gift from the county master, but the gift, which really fell into his heart.

The connotation of flowers is good, but it is rare that this painting, from flower branches to petals to flower leaves, is all delicate and exquisite, but it is very pleasing to the eye.

Mr. Wei sent someone to invite the magistrate to come over the next day, and prepared a table of food and wine.When the county magistrate heard that the teacher had an invitation, he rushed to Mr. Wei immediately after he got off the yamen.

After drinking for three rounds, all the scenes that should be said have been said.Mr. Wei said to the county master: "I like the painting you gave me not long ago. I haven't seen such an eye-catching painting for a long time. Do you know who is the talented person who painted this painting? I'd like to meet him once or twice. "

Mr. Wei asked, but the magistrate dared not answer.It was a routine gift-giving rule for him to send a painting album. The people below said that people like to give people painted flowers these days, so they sent people to do this, but they didn't expect that Mr. Wei would be interested in this painter.He didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly asked the person who purchased the picture album to be called.

The magistrate has been in the officialdom for a long time, although he has not been promoted, he has passed these years in peace.It is difficult to make political achievements, but it is easy to disentangle yourself: "Recently, my disciples heard that it is popular to give away painted flowers. The disciples thought to themselves, the person who wrote the pen is not a famous person, so how can this painting be real?" Flowers? So the student sent someone to buy a painting. It was the first time that the student saw such a good painting made by an unknown artist. Unexpectedly, this servant made his own way and only brought an album of flowers, but he never told the disciples the name of this person. The disciples dare not keep such an elegant work for themselves, so they dedicate it to the teacher."

As soon as the words were finished, the person who purchased the picture album arrived outside. Mr. Wei didn't say anything, and the county magistrate didn't dare to let him in, so he only asked him to answer the question outside the door.

After hearing this, Old Mr. Wei had no expression on his face.

Zhixian was a little apprehensive, not even daring to take a breath.

Mr. Wei finally sighed, and said: "It's great that there are talented people coming out from generation to generation! Why don't you set a date and invite people over? If this person has other talents, it would be a good thing to serve the family and the country. "

The magistrate was finally able to catch his breath, and after taking a breath quietly, he said, "What's so difficult about this? The disciple will invite him in person, so that the people below will not neglect him. He must be overjoyed when he hears that the teacher invited him."

Here, Li Xinyi had left Wu Su behind. She didn't expect his reply to arrive the next day.

This time Li Xinyi was well prepared. When the messenger handed him the letter, he quickly put the tea bag into the messenger's bag. He was afraid that this action would offend others, so he quickly said: "Use the tea bag from the wild tea tree picked from the mountain. The leaves are fried, only put it this time, there will never be a second time.”

The messenger did not refuse this time. After Li Xinyi sent the messenger away, she took the letter and went to the window to read it.

The content of Wu Su's reply this time surprised Li Xinyi.

The sky is getting cooler and getting darker and earlier. Under the dim light, thick ink is flowing on the thin letter paper, and Li Xinyi can't see the words on the paper clearly.

Wu Su's handwriting was also a bit too scribbled.

Li Xinyi lit a candle.Li's mother has always opposed him to use such a luxurious thing. He only bought one, but never used it once.Now it finally works.

In the dancing candlelight, Li Xinyi finally saw clearly what Wu Su had written.

In the letter, Wu Su said sternly that what Li Xinyi had heard was all nonsense, Mr. Wei was a man of profound knowledge and high morals, and the vulgar people in the countryside did not know Mount Tai, so they made wild guesses and even arranged them.Wu Su persuaded Li Xinyi not to associate with these people in a very serious tone, so as not to listen to and believe in one side.

Li Xinyi refrained from reading this part word by word, with a little luck remaining in his heart, he continued to read.

Wu Su said that he had met the county magistrate several times at Mr. Wei's place.As the parents and officials of the people, the magistrate of the county loves the people like a son, and is kind and amiable.He told Li Xinyi not to be overly nervous, it would be an honor to paint for the county magistrate, and to give it to Mr. Wei, and there would be no trouble.He is very happy to see that Li Xinyi has a new job, painting is very good, and he hopes that one day he can also get a gift from Li Xinyi.

At the end of the letter, Wu Su only wrote four words: "Wu Su nodded."

Li's mother felt very distressed when she saw the burning candles that were getting shorter and shorter.She originally asked her son to come over for dinner, but seeing her son's back flickering under the lamp, she suddenly didn't dare to go forward.He just stood quietly outside the door, looking at his growing son with a tender look unique to a mother.

The magistrate personally promised in front of Mr. Wei that he would personally invite Li Xinyi.So he didn't dare to delay, and early in the morning of the second day, he asked the coachman to put on the carriage, followed by eight sturdy government servants wearing red and black hats, and went to the countryside.

Wu Shen learned from his master that the county magistrate was going to visit Li Xinyi, so he rushed to Wutong Village immediately.He is used to walking, and his speed is not weak. He managed to rush to Li Xinyi's house in front of the county magistrate's carriage, and knocked on their door.

The road in the village was narrow, and horses and horses could not get in, so the county magistrate had no choice but to condescend to get out of the car, and walked to Li Xinyi's house in a mighty way, surrounded by eight strong yamen servants.

The black hat servant who was walking in front arrived first, and the county magistrate signaled him to knock on the door, so the black hat servant knocked hard twice, and the wooden door shook a few times.

The black hat servant took a step back, and when he was about to knock again, an old hand held the wooden door, and with a "squeak", the door opened, and the black hat servant looked at the trembling wooden door vigilantly, As well as the "black handprint" on the door, he took another step back unconsciously, and an old woman with gray cheeks and black hands came out from inside.

The black hat servant swallowed calmly, calmed down, and asked in a rough voice: "Grandma, does Li Xinyi who can draw flowers live here?"

The old woman rolled her eyes with difficulty, as if trying to figure out who Li Xinyi was, before she said after a long time: "He, he's gone out."

The black-hat yamen servant hurriedly asked, "Grandma, do you know where he went?"

This question is a little difficult, the old woman thought for a long time, her eyes moved from left to right, then from right to left, and after two rounds, she replied: "I just went out, I'm not at home."

The black-hat yamen servant felt that the old woman might be out of her mind, but the magistrate was watching from behind, so he could only continue to ask patiently, "Then where did he go? I'll go and call him back."

The old woman didn't move her eyes this time, she just stared straight at the black-hatted yamen servant, as if she was laughing at him because she was out of her mind.The black hat servant took another step back.This time, he and his little friend are finally on the same front.

The old woman kept muttering "Not at home" and "Not at home" all the time, then turned around, went into the house, and closed the door.

The black-hat yamen servant looked at another "black handprint" on the door frame, but this time he didn't dare to go forward.He looked back at the magistrate hesitantly, only to see the magistrate flicked his sleeves, so he obediently went back to the team.

When the villagers heard that the magistrate was coming, some put down the hoes in their hands, some patted the dirt on their hands, and they all followed the head of the village and walked towards Li Xinyi's house.

The head of the village politely invited the county magistrate to his home for tea, and left the matter of looking for Li Xinyi to the villagers.

So on the ridges of the fields, beside the puddles, and under the stream beaches, there are voices calling for "Li Xinyi" one after another.

Now Li Xinyi is completely famous.

The author has something to say: Thank you Kaka.The following is a small theater.

When Li Xinyi received the clay sculpture of a shepherd boy riding a cow from Wu Su, she was actually not happy. He waited for more than half a month, but Wu Su did not reply. (gas into puffer fish)

Wu Su was very surprised. He bought two. The shepherd boy he gave to Li Xinyi was a boy, and he kept a girl for himself.

Li Xinyi: I can't climb the back of a bull at all, don't you (accent) know?Or are you alluding to something?Do you think I'm short?

Wu Su: (Crazy dismissal, denying Sanlian) No, no, Xinyi, you are just right.No no, I like everything you do. (The desire to survive is very strong)

Li Xinyi: (not so angry) You still have a baby girl (accent) yourself, what is your intention?

Wu Su: Don't be angry. If you are angry, I feel sorry for you. It's too bad. If you don't like it, I'll give you another one.

Li Xinyi: Another one?Then who do you want (emphasis) to send this to?

Wu Su: Me, I keep it for myself.

Li Xinyi: For so many years, you have given away this one thing, and you still want to keep it for yourself (accent)? (very good, more angry)

Wu Su: (whispered to defend) No, didn't you also send mosquito repellent ointment? (The voice is getting lower and lower, very unconfident)

Li Xinyi: Huh (accent)?

Wu Su: I, let me compensate you. (flushing)

Li Xinyi: Not bad. (Looking reluctantly, but actually very satisfied in my heart, I secretly laughed.)
