When it comes to the twelfth lunar month, time is like a gust of wind, and it will disappear when it blows. In a blink of an eye, it will be on the threshold of the new year, and every household must prepare things for the new year.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wan Chunfeng's two elder sisters brought home new year's goods. The eldest sister was in the town, and brought some pastries and stewed meat, and made new clothes for the parents.The second sister's family was in the next village, and they gave bacon and eggs, as well as some homemade sesame candies.

Although the two daughters brought things with them, and the family had enough for a good year, Father Wan still took his wife and children to the streets.

"Father, shall we buy some fireworks? Just buy some." Fireworks are rare and expensive. If it weren't for the convenient transportation here, there is a canal that goes directly to Fucheng, but you can't buy it.

"Okay, let's buy two boxes. One box will be put away on your New Year's Eve, and the other box will be put away when your sisters come back." Those who come back during the holidays will come back, and now they are looking forward to the second day of the new year in a year.

"Well, good." Wan Chunfeng picked up things happily, and Wan's father also smiled happily, thinking that he had finally grown up this year, but he was still a child.

After Luo Cong heard Wan Chunfeng's words that day, he really thought about the idea of ​​making money by painting and writing Spring Festival couplets for people years ago.Wan Chunfei gave him pen and ink, and he bought some paper himself, because he thought that the people who could buy these things on the street must be poor families, so there was no need to buy expensive paper, and it didn't cost much.

"Then do you want to paint the fire unicorn or the water unicorn?" Luo Cong originally thought that the door god of the town house should be Qin Shubao Wei Chi Gong when there was a business coming, but he didn't know that the god of the town house here was the unicorn.

"This Qilin also divides the water Qilin and Fire Qilin? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Naturally, it has to be divided. The five elements generate and restrain each other. This is related to your family's business and is inseparable from the family owner's horoscope. Tell me, and I will draw it for you." Luo Cong was full of nonsense. Maybe he doesn't know, others know that he can fool people, but they don't know the principle, talking nonsense in a serious manner, but the others who listened nodded repeatedly, thinking that what he said was very reasonable.

"When will Luo Cong..." I want to say that he can speak well, but he seems to be full of nonsense on weekdays. Wan Aniang's words are stuck in her throat and she can't speak. After thinking and thinking, she glanced at the person in front of him. Looking at the paper and the objects with outlines on it, he was full of doubts and asked, "When will he be able to draw again?"

Wan Chunfeng stood behind his father, looking at the people in front of him, he couldn't hide his excitement. His idea came true, Brother Luo could make money, so he wouldn't have to starve.

"Let's go, you don't care what he does so much, it's better now than before." Father Wan thought that Luo Cong helped him, and his family thanked him, so he believed it.After all, there are unreasonable rumors between his son and him, so it's better not to get too close.

The Wan family has left, but Luo Cong's place is very lively, because he not only draws pictures and writes Spring Festival couplets, but also writes family letters of faith for free.

At the end of the year, students studying abroad and soldiers defending their country all sent home letters to their families, and those who had no one at home had to find someone or pay for help.

"Auntie, your son said that he is very good in the academy. His teachers and classmates take good care of him. They ask you to take care of yourself. Don't worry about him. I will go home to see you after the exam next autumn." Put the letter in the envelope back and hand it back , I read the whole letter, and Luo Cong sorted out a general idea.The person who wrote the letter was probably stupid in reading and reading. His wife couldn't read a single word, and he wrote the whole text in a very formal manner. How could his wife know what he was talking about.

Luo Cong's words made the bewildered old lady laugh all over her face, and those who watched the bustle and waited for help were also happy. It seems that she was right to find this gentleman.

"Sir, although all things are inferior, only reading is high, but scholars also have to fill their stomachs. If you are so knowledgeable, you should go to the poetry meeting organized by Mr. Gao. The rewards for those who win will be rich." Luo Cong's clothes were not dirty. But it is old, and there are still patches. At first glance, it looks like a noble and poor scholar, which naturally provokes a man who looks like a servant next to him to say something.

Luo Cong didn't think that scholars should be noble, he thought that living well is the most important thing!As soon as I heard that and that, I became interested in it immediately, and I hurriedly inquired about it.

"I see, I will definitely try it that day, thank you little brother."

"Don't dare, sir, you're being polite." The boy was very polite and full of respect. Luo Cong thought to himself that even if this world has nothing to do with the original world, the social class status is generally the same.

Scholars are quite prestigious wherever they are. I spent more than [-] years studying before, and now it finally comes in handy.I don't have the heart to be a great man who changes the times, I just want to use what I have learned to fill my stomach and live a good life, it shouldn't be too much.

"Hey~" After work was over, Luo Cong returned the wooden table rented for a few pennies to the roadside peddler, reached out and shook the money in his pocket, and the result was satisfactory. Someone else is coming.

"Sir, can you write a letter for me?" The person who came was a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. She had a pretty face but some inappropriate attire. Luo Cong couldn't see her identity for a while, but agreed without hesitation.

But when he wanted to write, he was stopped by the peddler around him and whispered a few words to him, which made him know what was going on.

It turned out that this girl was originally a courtesan of a brothel, but a few days ago she was involved in a life lawsuit. Although it was later proved that she had nothing to do with it, the guests thought she was unlucky, and others thought she was cruel and merciless, so they began to alienate her. She didn't even buy a box of rouge. To be looked down upon.

She hasn't been able to find someone to help her write home letters at this time, probably because there are no other bookstalls to help her.

"No problem." Smiling to the peddler, Luo Cong glanced at the girl, and decided to help her and himself.

"Girl, what do you want to say to your family?" Ready to write, when Luo Cong wrote down the girl's words on the paper, the girl's eyes turned red, and only then did he know It turned out that it was not what I wanted to be.

She was originally bought to be a maid, so she thought that the man saw her beautiful and sold her into a flower house at a high price. Now her family doesn't know that she has been living in a brothel, and they think she is working as a maid in a rich family.

"Thank you, sir." He took the prepared copper plate, but after thinking about it, the copper plate in his hand turned into a piece of broken silver.

Luo Cong originally didn't accept money, but when he saw the money and thought of his plan, he still took it.

"Thank you. I feel uneasy because I overcharged you, so I want to help you with something. You can come here to find me tomorrow."

"..."

"Don't be afraid. We are strangers. I won't hurt you if there is no grievance or enmity. Besides, I can't do anything on the street. You just need to find me some time."

"Ok."

The girl left suspiciously, and Luo Cong also put away the money in satisfaction, and hurried to buy food and go home.
