Chapter 64 Selling Spring Festival Couplets

Chu Yingying turned her head and glanced at Cui Yunhao. Cui Yunhao nodded to her. Seeing that Lu Fucheng was about to leave, she hurriedly stopped him and said, "Uncle Lu, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Lu Fucheng stopped and turned around to ask.

Chu Yingying bit her lower lip, trying her best to stay calm and said: "I heard from my uncle that officials came to Hangzhou to catch fugitives. I wonder what the situation is now? Have you searched every house?"

Lu Fucheng thought for a while and said: "There is a shopkeeper Hao who went with me to purchase medicinal materials. His third cousin works as a servant in Xuancheng Yamen and knows a lot of details. I heard from him that half a month ago, the official servant invited a Yamen servant from Hangzhou

We helped together and searched for the prisoners who escaped to Hangzhou with the portraits, but found nothing. The gang I met on the official road was caught in Mingzhou. Little girl, why are you asking this? Hey, you guys are doing this kind of thing

Children, it’s better not to ask too many questions, lest you get angry.”

After Chu Yingying heard this, the big stone that had been hanging in her heart fell to the ground. She looked at Cui Yunhao and nodded with a smile: "Yeah, we understand. Thank you uncle."

She couldn't help but secretly rejoice that the two of them had not arrived in Hangzhou half a month ago. As for the so-called portraits, several people, including her and Ge Chun, had already swapped them out before escaping from prison. Cui Yunhao, because of the rash on his face,

He is now in good condition, and his appearance is very different from before.

No one would have guessed that these two children were fugitives who were being hunted by the officers and soldiers.

"Okay, let's go to sleep."

Lu Fucheng raised his hand and turned to leave. He couldn't help but glance at Cui Yunhao from the corner of his eye. A trace of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it was only for a moment before it was covered up again.

With rare free time, Lu Renjia simply asked Chu Yingying and Cui Yunhao to go to the market to relax and see if there was anything they wanted to buy.

When Cui Yunhao saw it, he suddenly woke up and said in surprise: "Sister, are you going to write Spring Festival couplets?"

Chu Yingying nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, and it's written and sold now."

As soon as she entered the market, it was crowded with people. Chu Yingying walked quickly and looked around. She soon found a stall selling paper and cut out several large red papers with satisfaction.

Then I went to Hanyuanzhai and bought an ox-hair brush, which was slightly larger than the one I usually use for writing.

On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the Kitchen God's Day, every household begins to light firecrackers, burn incense, light candles, offer fruits and cakes, and worship the Kitchen God early in the morning.

The New Year will be here in seven days, and the business of Jishitang is not as lively as before. From morning to night, only a handful of people come to see a doctor or get medicine. Lu Yuan has not been seen since he had eaten in the morning.

Chu Yingying happily agreed and took Cui Yunhao to the market in the west of the city.

Chu Yingying went to the market a few days ago and found no one selling Spring Festival couplets. There was little competition in the market, so she came up with the idea of ​​writing Spring Festival couplets with Cui Yunhao and then selling them on the spot.

Cui Yunhao felt that this method was quite reliable, and the two hit it off immediately. They immediately set up a simple stall in the market, and prepared pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Chu Yingying and Cui Yunhao started shouting like they had done before selling flowers.

.

Not long after, an old man was attracted, took a look at their stall, and asked: "Little girl, there are still a few days until the Chinese New Year, why are you selling Spring Festival couplets?"

Chu Yingying smiled with crooked eyebrows and said: "Grandpa, it's precisely because it's not time to post the pairs yet that we sell them cheaply. In two days, more people will buy, so the price will naturally increase. In addition,

, the first customer who buys our Spring Festival couplets, we will buy one and get one free.”
