but

The more he looked at it, the more Shopkeeper Li's expression changed from surprise to shock, and then to horror.

But in the end.

Shopkeeper Li took a deep breath after reading the poem, but he saw the words written at the bottom: "Just copy one copy. This piece of paper is so expensive. Only my cat can take a bag of medicinal herbs."

Shopkeeper Li had a strange expression on his face.

Because I didn’t understand.

He does know how to copy.

But why is the price so expensive, and it comes with a package of medicinal materials?

Does that mean this piece of ink and paper with poetry on it is very expensive?

Shopkeeper Li frowned slightly. He was amazed by the poems on the paper. After reading them carefully, he even thought of himself.

but.

Ink is expensive.

Looking at the handwriting, Shopkeeper Li couldn't praise it.

So when Shopkeeper Li saw this last sentence, he felt a little helpless, but when he read the poem again, he sighed deeply again.

And the people around.

From the moment they saw Maomao walk up to the table with a proud and confident look and start writing, to the changes in the expression on Shopkeeper Li's face, they were all extremely curious.

I wanted to get closer to take a look, but I couldn't because the shop assistants were blocking the table to avoid chaos.

So the people at the front stretched their necks to see.

But I couldn’t see the content at all, I could only see that the handwriting on the paper was not very nice, I could even say that the handwriting was really ugly!

But because of this, those who saw it became even more curious.

Since the handwriting is so ugly, how can one write any poetry?

But it just so happened that Manager Li and that girl of noble status were so confident, so I became even more curious about them.

at last

The cat has finished writing.

After putting down the pen, Maomao put the paper away.

Shopkeeper Li looked at what Maomao had written, then looked at Maomao and asked, "Miss, can you read it?"

Maomao nodded.

Shopkeeper Li picked it up immediately.

Then he looked at everyone, cleared his throat with the poem in his hand, glanced at the people below who were full of expectation, and recited aloud: "The mica screen is open, the pearl curtain is closed, the wind blows away the agarwood. The feeling of separation is depressed, and the gold threads are woven into sulfur. The shadows of cypress and cassia branches are reflected, calmness rises, and the mercury hall is made."

"Forsythia suspensa, startled by the summer heat, chilling through the mint skirt. A vine hooks the moon, an ordinary mountain night, dreaming of staying on the battlefield. I have long since put on makeup, living alone in an empty room. I want to continue the broken string but cannot, the aconite is white, the most bitter is the ginseng. It's also angelica! The dogwood is ripe, the ground is old and the chrysanthemum is yellow."

Quiet~~~

After listening to this poem, all the scholars were surprised, then frowned and savored it carefully.

Those who didn't understand saw that the readers suddenly became quiet. Naturally, they didn't dare to say anything more. They just looked at the shocked and surprised expressions on their faces.

The boy beside the old man was still counting on his fingers, but as he kept counting, he had forgotten the content of the poem and so frowned tightly.

Because there are sixteen kinds in total, which is six more than theirs.

"Wonderful!! Absolutely exquisite!! Let's all enjoy this wonderful article!" Someone suddenly exclaimed, breaking the silence.

"Golden threads weave sulfur. Golden threads weave sulfur." ​​An old man said in bewilderment, "What a good sentence! The whole text is about lovesickness, but this sentence specifically points out the pain of lovesickness. Sulfur is "liuhuang", which is also silk cloth. Golden silk cloth is the fabric used by nobles. The sentence 'golden threads weave sulfur' expresses the pain of a wife missing a soldier who is away on the battlefield."

After saying that, the old man looked at Maomao and said, "Little girl, who wrote this poem? Please accept my greetings."

"Twenty-five? Or twenty-four. But since they are lyrics, they have more words than poems, so we can't count them by number."

"No, no, although this poem uses more words than the previous two poems, its artistic conception and creation are far superior to those two poems. Those two poems are indeed wonderful, but this poem is ordinary in meaning, and it can still achieve such an artistic conception by using these 25 drug names, and the whole poem is flawless. This is the strength of the person who wrote this poem."

"I am not very knowledgeable, but after listening carefully, I can tell that it is a poem about missing someone. He uses his wife's perspective to express his longing for her. The most important thing is that he uses so many names of medicines, thinks carefully and associates with them, and expresses his feelings through the various herbs. It is truly a masterpiece!"

"Poetry and lyrics are about medicine, herbs, people, immortals, emotions, and scenery. I came here specially today to hear three poems about medicine names. However, I think that if I were to choose the best one, the first two would not be as good as the third one. It's not because there are too many kinds of medicine names, but because its writing style and poetic sentiment are more intriguing and touching than the previous two."

"I thought the first two poems were worthy of the title, but when I heard the third one, I felt it was extremely gorgeous, magnificent and fantastic, showing the wonders of all the herbs. Today's third poem makes people daydream and sigh. The poems about family and country and lovesickness are even more unforgettable. Shopkeeper Li, can you let me copy a copy of this third poem and take it home?"

……

The scholars and old gentlemen who came to take a look after hearing the news expressed their sincere emotions.

Many of them listened to other people's explanations and then thought back to the poem. They took a deep breath and thought it was so amazing!

After all, the two poems just now were praised to the sky.

This song is so much better than those two?!

The students of the Imperial College frowned slightly and shook their heads, thinking that the poems they first thought of were so far inferior to this one.

"I only wrote one or two poems and thought that the poems I wrote were extraordinary. When I looked at the first two poems, they were so long that they were already amazing. But when I listen to these poems again, they are not as good, not as good." One of the three students sighed.

Zhang Wentao was staring at the poem in Shopkeeper Li's hand. He was speechless for a long time and couldn't say anything.

The old man smiled and shook his head, looking at Maomao with surprise.

The lady in red was naturally surprised. She didn't understand much, but there were twenty-five kinds! And so many people around were talking about how great that poem was, so it must be much better than the one written by her second sister.

Just like the lady in red, there are too many people around who don’t understand what is being said. After all, they are just there to watch the fun.

At that moment, seeing so many people expressing their deep emotion and talking about how great the little girl's poetry was, everyone looked at Maomao with surprise.

"Oh, that's incredible. From this perspective, the girl will get those several thousand taels."

"I looked at the ugly characters and never thought that such a poem could be written. It's amazing, amazing."

"Whoever just made fun of these two girls, come out now and make fun of them again."

"Wow, I thought this little girl was just joking, but I didn't expect there was such a powerful person behind her."

……

The common people were talking to each other, all with a look of surprise on their faces, and they found it unbelievable.

You Li looked at Maomao with surprise, then after thinking for a moment, he immediately looked at Shopkeeper Li and asked, "Shopkeeper, what do you think? Do you think this poem can get the Jinbo Xunhua?"

Shopkeeper Li smiled and nodded: "Sure."

As he said this, Shopkeeper Li turned around and looked at everyone: "Everyone, today I am here to ask for poems, but I didn't expect to attract three wonderful articles. I am very satisfied with all three of them, so I would like to announce here that I have selected these three poems. I will not say more about these three poems, but those who are familiar with me know that I was a soldier in my early years and was separated from my wife for many years. After I was injured, I resigned from the army and started this business. But when I was in the army, I missed my wife and children at home very much, so I can empathize with this girl's poem."

"Many people present here are more talented than me, Li. However, due to the above reasons, in my opinion, the poem this young lady invited is the most to my liking. Therefore, this young lady will be the first to choose among the three things."

After that, Shopkeeper Li looked at the old man and the girl in red, bowed and said, "Please forgive your sins, both of you."

The old man smiled and shook his head: "Shopkeeper, you are too polite. This little girl should choose first."

The lady in red didn't care. After all, she knew what kind of flower the little girl wanted and it didn't conflict with her.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Li also breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid that these people would not be convinced.

However, thinking of the poems that were temporarily shelved before, Shopkeeper Li smiled, looked at Zhang Wentao and others and said, "I am also willing to bid for the poems written by you gentlemen."

Zhang Wentao and the other students heard this, and one of them, Shi Yi, immediately shook his head and said, "Manager Li, just take it."

Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything more. These scholars couldn't be reasoned with, and he was happy to get a few good poems for free.

So he turned around and took the brocade box of the golden flowers and brought it to Maomao: "Miss, please keep it."

Maomao accepted it excitedly, completely forgetting that she would have to face Su Changan later.

Now the only thing in my mind is how to use this Jinbo Xunhua.

From a distance, Feng Ying saw that the shop owner was quite straightforward, so he didn't say much and just looked at Maomao and the others.

The people around looked at this item worth thousands of taels, which Manager Li gave away as a gift. While sighing, they looked at the little girl with great excitement.

But at the same time, I began to wonder about the identity of this little girl and the identity of the person who wrote the poem.

Anyone who can write such poems is definitely not an unknown person.

Shopkeeper Li looked at the cat with an ecstatic face and Jin Bo Xunhua. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Miss, may I ask who wrote this poem? When I hang it up, please sign it."

Not only did the cat hold the Jinbo Xunhua tightly and couldn't let it go, but drool was even flowing from the corners of its mouth.

But after hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Shopkeeper Li and said, "My young lady wrote this."

You Li was also happy for Maomao and added: "That young lady is incredible. What she did today was just a casual thing."

Shopkeeper Li was surprised, then looked at the cat.

Miss?

There are many young ladies with outstanding literary talent in Luoan City.

But if we talk about the outstanding ones, there are only these few, including the second lady of the Su family, the eldest lady of the Cui family, the Zhao family, and the Mo family.

Shopkeeper Li thought for a moment and felt that since she was the eldest daughter, she should not be from the Su family, so he asked, "May I ask if she is the eldest daughter of the Cui family?"

Unexpectedly, when hearing the word Cui, Maomao's originally excited and happy expression suddenly turned into extreme disgust, and it glared at Shopkeeper Li. At first glance, it looked like a cat with its fur standing on end!

Shopkeeper Li was startled, wondering if he had said something wrong or if he should not have asked the question.

But just when Manager Li was about to apologize.

The sound of horse hooves suddenly reached everyone's ears.

When I looked up, I saw a fat boy riding a horse running towards me.

When he got closer, the chubby boy saw the lady in red at a glance. A look of disgust flashed across his face, and then he got off the horse and ran over.

The lady in red also saw the little fat boy and greeted him happily: "Li Heng, here!"

The little fat boy was naturally Su Liheng, but when he looked at his third sister, he looked disgusted.

just

Just as he ran over, Su Liheng saw the cat.

After a slight pause

Su Liheng immediately changed direction and ran towards the cat.
