10, write a gift book

It was almost evening when Chu Guang came back.

Because of Chu Ci's business, he went everywhere to work for others and could earn more than ten or twenty cents a day.

However, the farmers are not generous, they give the money very well, but the food is very poor. Chu Guang only drank two bowls of porridge this day, and probably couldn't make a rice ball after picking up the rice grains. Just this, the old lady in that family was still secretly

I blame them for eating too much.

Chu Guang was a little helpless, but he did not deliberately do it for a while like others, but did not work hard. He just wanted to finish the work earlier and find a good boss.

Before he could reach the doorstep, a scent of scent wrapped him up. He sniffed hard unconsciously. The moment the fragrance was sucked in, his stomach became even hungry.

Who is this family celebrating the New Year? It’s too unequivocal. Isn’t this greedy person who is not a New Year or a Festival?

Chu Guang thought this in his heart. When he walked into the house, he found that the fragrance was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was passed down from his house!

There was a pot of cooked dumplings on the table, all of which were white and slippery, with thin skin and large fillings.

"Brother is back? Wash your hands and serve the table quickly, and wait for you." Chu Ci took out a few pairs of bowls and chopsticks, then turned to the backyard and shouted, "You guys are coming out soon, you can have a meal."

Chu Guang was wondering who were in this sentence? As a result, his son walked out with Brother Qin, a hunter from the neighboring village. Both of them were holding the strange-looking slingshot in their hands.

Chu Xiaoyuan pouted and looked dissatisfied. Qin Zhao looked better than him and had greater strength than him. He felt that he had lost.

"Why are you pouting? Go and ask your mother for a few cents and go to the village to make two taels of wine." Chu Guang ordered.

"Brother, Brother Qin has brought the wine. The tiger bone wine he brewed by his family can be replenished." Chu Ci stopped Chu Xiaoyuan, turned around and went into the kitchen to carry out the small jar of wine.

As the saying goes, dumplings are like wine, and the more you drink, the more you get. The three men on the table were having a lot of fun drinking, and the others just kept consuming the dumplings.

In addition to pork, there are dried wild vegetables in this dumpling. Shen Xiuniang is used to dropping some sesame oil when mixing the dumpling filling. The final product tastes fresh and tender, refreshing but not greasy. Eating it once can make people think of it for half a year.

Shen Xiuniang used about three pounds of flour and was eaten in one meal. Chu Guang and Qin Zhao were the main combat powers, and almost half of them were eaten by them.

Chu Xiaoyuan looked at the two dumplings left in the bowl with a sad look, and whined depressedly, losing even after eating...

The chicks grow up day by day, and the days pass by day, and in a blink of an eye, it is already October.

Chu Ci came to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and had been there for almost a month and a half before he knew it.

Last time he went to the town to hand over the templates of the six story books, and exchanged them for about one or two taels of silver. He gave the money to his sister-in-law for household use.

With this money, the family was relieved, otherwise their family would not even be able to afford the gift.

In a few days, it will be the day when a young man in the village gets married. The back mountain is called He Sanlang, who is only eighteen years old this year. When he followed his master to make furniture for others everywhere, he met a girl from the neighboring village.

The two of them secretly spent a while and they were interested in each other, so He Sanlang asked his parents to propose marriage to him. The girl's family is well-off, and her parents are not such vicious people. He agreed without much difficulty.

There is a custom in the village that generally the whole village has to go to the whole village for funerals, such as houses and having children, just invite relatives and friends.

...

On the day of the banquet, everyone brought their belongings to the He family. But the He family is now in a state of anxiety because the old master who wrote gift books for their family had a bad stomach today and was sent to the town to see it by his family.

Gift books are very important. In the future, you have to follow this gift when you go to other people's houses to receive gifts. Otherwise, you will give more people more, which is more embarrassing.

There are many people in their village who know how to write, but only a few of them can write well. At this time, someone suggested that they might as well go to the Chu family to find Chu Ci.

"Can Chu Xiu come to write for us?" He's mother was a little worried. She was a scholar.

"If you succeed, please ask first, neighbors, I look at the man, Xiucai Chu has a gentle temper now." said the village chief.

"That's fine, then I'll ask him now." Old Man He picked up a bag of wedding candy and went straight to the Chu family.

The Chu family was also very close today, and Chu Guang could have a day off when he had a banquet. He was sitting in the yard weaving bamboo baskets when he suddenly saw Old Man He standing outside his house.

"Uncle He, isn't your Saburo getting married today? Why do you have time to come to my house? Come in and sit down."

Chu Guang was very enthusiastic, while Old Man He felt a little embarrassed. He spoke after handing the wedding candy in his hand to Chu Guang.

"Boss Chu, I have something to do to ask your Xiucai Chu to help you. I wonder if he is at home?" Old Man He was a little anxious. There was still a lot of things waiting at home. If the banquet was broken, what would happen if the couple had a conflict in the future?

manage?

"Woman, come out first. Uncle He has something to come to you." Chu Guang tilted his head and shouted inside, then asked He's father to sit down, and then he forced his butt to force him to put on his butt.

"What's wrong with Uncle He looking for his nephew, but it's okay." In front of outsiders, Chu Ci always maintained his gentle image.

"Scholar Chu, that's it. Didn't my Sanlang get married today? I originally asked Master Zhang to write a gift book for my house, but unfortunately, Master Zhang suddenly felt uncomfortable today, and I couldn't find anyone else at this moment.

It is the most knowledgeable person in our village, so I came here to ask you to do me a favor and write this gift book." Old Man He looked at Chu Ci with anticipation, afraid that he would refuse.

"This is a good thing. I'm so happy that I'm happy. Uncle He doesn't worry, you go back first, I'll clean up and then arrive."

When Old Man He saw Chu Ci agreeing, he was still smiling and he felt relieved.

"Thank you, thank you, so I'll go back first, and there's still a lot of things to do." The farmers are all real, and they won't be fooled, so they just turn around and leave.

Chu Ci went back to the room and changed his clothes to a more festive one. Then he went to the He family with his ink cartridge and brush.

A small head poked out of the room and quickly followed Chu Ci's footsteps. Chu Guang couldn't even call him to stop him.

"This little bastard, I follow the waiter all day long, and I don't think about my father at all." Chu Guang complained to Shen Xiuniang who came out.

"It's not good to follow the waiter? Uncle is better than both of us. Learning a little bit is enough for him for the rest of his life." Shen Xiuniang was not jealous at all.

"You said that's right." Chu Guang thought of his excellent brother, laughed twice and continued to work hard.

To outsiders, the couple seemed a little silent, but when they got along, they seemed to be speechless. Maybe this is because they are not a family and they will not enter the family.

Speaking of Chu Ci, he came to the He family with Chu Xiaoyuan with his things. The He family immediately invited him to sit down, and then served in the tea and fruit plate. He looked really enthusiastic.

The Chu Ci couldn't refuse this, and his identity today was even greater than a newcomer. He didn't delay much, so he asked for the gift book as soon as he came. He seemed to have flipped through the previous content casually, but in fact he wanted to put it in.

Understand the rules of writing gift books.

Fortunately, the gift book was very simple, and Chu Ci could do it at a glance. He turned to the blank page behind and asked, "Who will come first?"

"Whoever comes first will remember whoever comes first, Chu Xiucai, remember my family's first. Wang Sihai will be with fifty cents." A woman squeezed over and said.

She reported the name of the man in her family. Chu Ci wrote the three words Wang Sihai in the upper column and fifty texts in the lower column.

Everyone around him looked around and saw that the words under him were indescribable, so he gave all kinds of praise without hesitation.

Chu Xiaoyuan and his uncle stood proudly next to him. Every time they heard a word of praise, the smile on their faces deepened, as if others were praising him.

While responding to everyone, Chu Ci wrote down the gifts that each company had accompanied him on paper.

Chu Ci sighed in his heart that the atmosphere of taking gifts here is completely different from the modern style of comparison, and he did not realize that he had become the object of chatting with everyone.

"She sister-in-law, has the scholar Chu in your village ever talked about marriage?" The person who asked was full of hope.

"No, how dare you go to their Chu family for this ordinary family? Chu Xiucai will become a high-ranking official in the future, so how can he easily talk about marriage?" The person who replied did not dare to give her hope, like Chu

The scholar has such a character and appearance, and it is almost the same as marrying a young lady in the city. The country people don’t even think about it, because it’s useless to think about it.

"Yes, in our Yuanshan County, no one has ever heard of Chu Xiucai. Everyone says that he is Wenquxing and descended to earth! When I saw people today, I really looked good." This person was not discouraged, she just did not even have sex.

Just ask casually.

“…”

There were crackling sounds of firecrackers outside, and finally brought everyone's eyes over. Chu Ci seized the opportunity and secretly stretched out his arms and legs, clenched his fists, and relieved his tense muscles. He had been at home for half a day.

It will be tiring to just draw for a day.

Chu Xiaoyuan was also able to sit there, and he had been here with him for a whole morning. Now that it was so lively outside, he finally couldn't sit still.

"Go and see the bride." Chu Ci patted Chu Xiaoyuan's head and gave him an excuse.

"Yeah!" Chu Xiaoyuan was waiting for this sentence. As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, others rushed out.
