As the Chinese New Year approaches, it is indeed unethical to call other people's small workshops "high imitations", "A-goods" and "copycats".
How can you insult someone for wearing an A-grade clothing during the Chinese New Year? If you want to know how to wear an A-grade clothing, you should wait until after the Chinese New Year to insult someone.
But Xiao Fu Airong said that he couldn't wait that long!
Even on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Boss Shang's printing workshop published the second part of Xiao Fu Airong's scolding - "On Why People Nowadays Are Keen on Pretending to be Arty", in which he very bluntly pointed out that some people who bought low-quality engraved and painted rice paper produced by small and medium-sized workshops did so just to cater to the situation and did not really like the paper.
"Many people now live in groups, and it is a great honor for a clan to have four or five generations living together. This has led to people's chaotic habits, like algae in the water, fence-sitters, or like wild dogs sniffing a big bone, and will take a bite even if there is no meat..."
Xiong Youyou put down the book with great satisfaction, and shared her impressions with Xianjin with admiration, "This Xiao Fu Airong is really like a bright star that suddenly appeared. When he talked about food, he was impartial and his writing was refined; when he talked about current affairs, he dared to speak out and his writing was sharp, like a lone wolf."
Xianjin: "..."
The scene of Chen Fu howling at the full moon seemed to appear in her mind.
Xianjin turned his face away and twitched his lips in silence.
It is really hard to imagine that Chen Fu, wearing a pink and peach-colored long gown and with sleek hair, was given the title of "Lone Wolf"...
Even though it is a carnivorous mammal, Xianjin personally thinks that the image of the Tibetan fox is more suitable for Chen Fu.
Xiong Youyou was still praising, "...My uncle also read this booklet yesterday and was very curious about which senior wrote it. My uncle said that it was probably written by a failed juren or a well-read scholar from a gentry family - Oh, my second cousin will take the jinshi exam next year, and he is planning to visit this senior Xiao..."
"Why are you going to visit him?" Xianjin couldn't hide his horror: to discuss eating, drinking, having fun and doing hair styles together?
Xiong Youyou smiled and said, "My second cousin said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Senior Xiao can write tens of thousands of words quoting classics and expressing his views on small matters. If you apply this to writing articles, wouldn't you benefit a lot?"
Xianjin turned away again, her mouth corners almost twitching. How could she repay the internal injuries she suffered while protecting Chen Fu from losing his horse?
Xiong Youyou suddenly remembered something, "Most of Senior Xiao Fu Airong's books were printed by Boss Shang's printing workshop. You are good friends with Boss Shang, but have you ever heard of who this senior is?"
Xianjin pulled up the corner of his mouth and smiled.
If it's divine...it depends on when Chen Fu will overcome the tribulation...don't all monsters have to overcome several tribulations before they can ascend?
Chen·Lone Wolf Hero·was published on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month when he returned to Xuancheng.
Xianjin waited at the gate of Xuancheng for nearly an hour, and finally a mule cart with a cloth covered with gold woven tassels arrived. Even the mule's face was stuck with two white pheasant feathers, making it look like a wealthy country dandy.
Xianjin jumped onto the mule cart, smiled and greeted, "Third Master!" He then smiled and warmly greeted Manager Dong behind Chen Fu, "Manager Dong, when you were away, I really went hungry for nine meals in three days, never had enough to eat, and couldn't sleep well every night..."
Manager Dong smiled very reservedly and waved his hands repeatedly, "Just support me as much as you can. Staying in Xuancheng at my age will only hinder you." He returned the main battlefield of sentimentalizing to Chen Fu, "The Third Master always talks about you, Master Li, Zhou Ergou..."
Chen Fu's eyes turned red. "...I saw you, a dung beetle, from two miles away! I think my love for you is not in vain. You even came out to pick up your Third Master!"
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of Xianjin, who is known as the “dung beetle”: Your pain will soon be in vain!
All the way to Chen's house, Chen Fu kept mumbling, "...I didn't want to come back. I'm very comfortable in Jing County. The stall you left behind has a strict division of labor. Everyone does their own thing. We go to Xiaocao Village to transport goods on the 88th of every month. Lord Cui is the county magistrate and he takes good care of us. I can sleep soundly all day. I even went to Xiaodaoxiang to ask the rosy-lipped young master to be my master and I'm cooking Huizhou cuisine now!"
He also talked about Master Gao who was sent down to Jing County by Xianjin to experience life and the group of new people who were so energetic that they burst their livers during the training camp, "a group of young guys, working in the shop without wearing shirts every day. After You Niang came to play once, she came every day..."
Xianjin scratched his head: a bunch of Tuesday dogs, she is really not interested now, but maybe in a few years she will become the one questioning You Niang, becoming You Niang, or surpassing You Niang?
Xianjin asked about the current situation of Qingcheng Mountain Temple.
Chen Fu waved his hand. "It's not abandoned, but it's not as neat and tidy as before. Lord Cui and several gentry and landlords whose sons studied here pooled money to redeem Qingcheng Mountain Courtyard from the government's deductions. We hire someone to weed every month so that we don't have nowhere to go."
Xianjin lowered his head and nodded sullenly.
Seeing that Xianjin was in a bad mood when talking about Qingcheng Mountain Courtyard, Chen Fu quickly changed the subject and walked to Chen's house while talking.
Chen Fu was rushing on New Year's Eve.
There was great competition in the paper industry in Xuancheng Prefecture. Old Madam Qu had originally planned not to let her employees go early this year, but to keep them working until New Year's Eve and then let them go back on the first day to celebrate the New Year. However, Xianjin responded silently - what kind of capitalist would not even give a holiday on New Year's Eve!
Mrs. Qu finally gave up this inhumane idea, so on New Year's Eve, all the guys went home, and only Zhou Ergou stayed behind to celebrate New Year's Eve with everyone.
There is nothing special about New Year’s Eve, as it is the same every year, but when I really can’t celebrate it, I always feel like something is missing.
Although the status of the second and third brothers is very different in Mrs. Qu's heart, the two brothers seem to have a good relationship.
At least when Chen Cai invited Chen Fu to sing "Farewell My Concubine", Chen Fu did not refuse.
As soon as he came on stage, Chen Fu found out that his role was Lu Zhi, Liu Bang's wife, Lu Zhi.
Chen Fu: ...That’s enough. When he was acting in Romance of the West Chamber, he was Hongniang; when he was acting in Farewell My Concubine, he was Lu Zhi. He can’t escape the fate of being the second female lead in this life, right?
Chen Cai played the role of Concubine Yu, and Xu, the second wife, played the role of Overlord. Xu hung two strings of kelp on her cheeks as a beard, which made everyone laugh.
A satisfied smile appeared on Mrs. Qu's thin face, and her eyes fell on Chen Jianfang, who was sitting at the table below.
Chang Sun's profile is gentle and peaceful, with a smile on his lips and a long and quiet gaze. He is a modest gentleman like a rough jade.
Madam Qu's eyes softened a little, "Erlang."
Chen Jianfang stood up and turned around, "Yes, Grandma."
Madam Qu pursed her lips and said, "When your father was alive, he would write Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters every year. Go to the outer courtyard and ask for a set of brushes and ink. After we watch the fireworks, can you write a few couplets for the courtyards on the spot?"
Chen Jianfang naturally agreed, turned around and walked out.
"Wait." Madam Qu thought for a moment and called Chen Jianfang to stop her. She looked at Xianjin and said, "Jin Jie'er, go to the storehouse and get a piece of rice paper with a silk-carved "Fu" character pattern. Use this paper to write. The meaning will be better."
Xianjin also stood up and answered yes.
The warehouse is also in the outer courtyard.
Xianjin can travel with Chen Jianfang.
Chen Jianfang lowered his head, trying to hide the lucky smile on his face.
