Chapter 558: The Couplet of Mr. Liu Next Door
Lu Yunque's words successfully broke Lu Yunfeng's defense.
Su Mengyao did tell him that this year their family unanimously decided to travel during the New Year.
The main reason is that Su's parents and Su Jingyun felt that they were busy with company matters all year and were unable to squeeze out time to accompany Su Mengyao.
The three of them felt guilty, so in order to put aside their work and accompany Su Mengyao wholeheartedly, they finally decided to leave Dijing and spend all their time traveling with Su Mengyao during the New Year holidays.
So, Lu Yunfeng was abandoned by Su Mengyao in such a bloody way, and he probably had no chance to meet Su Mengyao during the entire Chinese New Year.
The two young lovers who had just confirmed their relationship entered into a long-distance relationship during the Spring Festival without any warning.
And Lu Yunque also knows how to say what can touch people's hearts the most.
"Second brother, even without talking about traveling, we are still good brothers."
Lu Yunfeng looked at Lu Yunque speechlessly.
"If you don't want me to mention it, then don't come here with a gossipy look on your face to ask about Zijin and me."
Lu Yunque has a very strong sense of territory and does not want to reveal the relationship between him and Yun Zijin to others.
"Okay, okay, we both get along."
Since he couldn't see his girlfriend, Lu Yunque could only rely on video calls to comfort his homesickness.
At this time, Lu Yunzhou walked in from outside with a lot of things in his hands.
"Brother, what did you bring?"
"I just ran into an old man selling couplets outside and bought two. Where do you think they'd be best to put up?"
Or Lu Yunzhou shook the bag in his hand, and the red bag looked very festive.
"Brother, you still have this nature!"
Lu Yunfeng walked forward and took out the couplets from the bag.
Not to mention, the words on these two couplets are written in a unique style.
"The writing is quite good, but I wonder if Grandpa would approve?"
After all, the couplets, horizontal scrolls, door couplets, etc. posted in the Lu family's old house during the Chinese New Year were almost all written by Lu Zhengguo himself.
"Why don't you just ask? Grandpa won't mind, right?"
Lu Yunzhou didn't think this was a big deal.
Lu Yunque stopped talking when he saw the calligraphy on the two couplets.
If someone observed carefully, they would find that Lu Yunque looked at Lu Yunzhou with a hint of pity on his face.
In Lu Yunzhou's previous world, there was nothing but training, and he didn't pay much attention to matters at home.
Even during the Chinese New Year, I am often not at home, so there are many things I don’t know.
Lu Yunque recognized it at a glance. This couplet was written by Mr. Liu, the man next door to their house.
Lu Zhengguo and his neighbor Mr. Liu are both calligraphy enthusiasts, and they often comment on each other's calligraphy works.
Because their skills are similar, they always argue with each other whenever they meet.
The couplets in the house can be written by anyone, except Grandpa Liu.
The couplet that Lu Yunzhou bought can be said to have hit the mark.
Lu Yunfeng seldom came to the old house and was not aware of the situation, so he did not notice anything wrong.
At this time, Lu Zhengguo walked towards the three people.
"Look at the three of you whispering here. Is there anything you can't talk about openly?"
Lu Zhengguo doesn't like to take shortcuts in doing anything. Seeing that the three brothers' expressions were not right, Lu Zhengguo came over to find out what was going on.
"Grandpa, my brother just bought two pairs of couplets outside and wants to find a place to put them up."
Lu Yunfeng hadn't realized anything was wrong yet, so he really told the whole story a day or two later.
"Oh? Is it a handwritten inscription?"
You should know that nowadays there are two types of couplets: purely handwritten and machine-printed.
If the couplets were machine-printed, Lu Zhengguo would not let them post them.
"It's handwritten. I think it's pretty good. Grandpa, would you mind giving us a thumbs up?"
Lu Yunque didn't say a word the whole time, but Lu Zhengguo's keen intuition told him that things were not that simple.
He took the bag containing the couplets from Lu Yunzhou's hand, looked at it casually, and then his expression showed a hint of surprise.
"Where did you buy the couplet?"
Lu Zhengguo did not comment on the words on the couplet, but instead asked Lu Yunzhou where he bought it.
"It was just to the left of the gate of our old house. I saw him setting up a stall outside by himself. He looked quite pitiful, so I just bought two pairs."
One pair costs 10 yuan, and two pairs cost 20 yuan. Judging from the words on the couplets, these 20 yuan are definitely worth it.
But when he heard the tone of Lu Zhengguo's voice, Lu Yunzhou quickly realized that things seemed different from what he thought, but he still told the truth.
He has done nothing wrong, so there is nothing he cannot say.
"Pathetic? I think you're the one who's pitiful! You got cheated and still have to help others count their money!"
Lu Zhengguo's expression was furious. When he remembered that Lu Yunzhou actually bought Old Man Liu's couplet, he always felt that he was being outshined.
"Grandpa, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that these two couplets were written by Mr. Liu next door. The word 'pitiable' doesn't really fit Mr. Liu."
Mr. Liu's status is similar to Lu Zhengguo's, so... words like "pity" are really not suitable to be put together with him.
Seeing that Lu Zhengguo was so angry that he couldn't speak, Lu Yunque was kind enough to give Lu Yunzhou and Lu Yunfeng some scientific knowledge.
Lu Yunzhou: ...
Lu Yunfeng laughed awkwardly twice, then took two steps to the side.
"Give me the item and I'll return it to you! And you dare to sell it for 20 yuan? I won't even take it if you pay me back!"
Lu Zhengguo snatched the bag containing the couplets from Lu Yunzhou's hand, walked out in a hurry, and went next door to find Mr. Liu to return the goods.
"I'll go with you!"
There was no way Lu Yunzhou would let Lu Zhengguo go alone. He was the one who bought the things, so he should handle the aftermath himself.
After the two walked away, Lu Yunfeng looked at Lu Yunque and said, "Second brother, are Grandpa and Grandpa Liu next door sworn enemies?"
He is unwilling to hang either of the two couplets at home, which shows that he really rejects them.
"It depends on the situation."
However, in Lu Yunque's opinion, his grandfather and Grandpa Liu next door should be sworn enemies on the surface, but when something really happens, the two of them can also rely on each other.
However, when it comes to calligraphy, the two are absolute rivals, neither of them giving in and disliking each other.
Lu Yunfeng sat next to Lu Yunque: "Brother, can you tell me about it?"
Lu Yunfeng felt like he had gotten something interesting, and he looked at Lu Yunque with eyes full of curiosity.
"Grandpa is also a calligrapher, what do you think?"
In addition to fishing, Lu Zhengguo's favorite hobby is calligraphy.
Lu Yunfeng was not stupid. He had already guessed most of the story before Lu Yunque finished speaking.
"No wonder Grandpa's expression was not right when he saw the couplet."
Now that I think about it, the reason for all this is because Lu Yunzhou bought the couplet written by Mr. Liu.
