      Chapter 66 Slap in the face (one more)

       Huang did what he said, and he really came to the door with a pair of couplets he had just written.

      As Wei Ting said, the weather is cold and the ink dries slowly, so Mrs. Huang didn't want to get all over herself, so Tie Dan and another child held both hands.

      The ink was still wet when it came over.

      Chen Haoyuan wrote the first couplet is "Flying Snow Welcomes the New Year", the second couplet is "Firecrackers Welcome the New Year", and the horizontal comment: "Auspicious Snow and Good Year".

       Those who went to Xiao Su's house with Huang, besides the two children holding couplets, there were also many fellow villagers who watched the excitement.

       Mrs. Huang came here to show her shame, and she wished that the more people there were, the better!

      The Zhou family next door to the old Su's house also joined in the fun.

    Zhou was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Huang didn't speak, but she yelled first: "Su Fatty! Come out quickly! Your aunt has brought you couplets!"

      The folks surrounded the door of Xiao Su's house. Those who didn't know about this battle thought Su Fatty had another happy event.

    Su Xiaoxiao walked out slowly, holding a half-gnawed corn cob, glanced at everyone, and landed on Zhou's face with extremely high cheekbones, and said, "My aunt gave me couplets, what are you so excited about?"Jiner? Is it for you? Or do you want to wait until I don’t want it, and then find a leak yourself?”

       "You——" Zhou's small thoughts were poked, and he was a little bit embarrassed at the moment.

      The most gossip-mongering person in the village is Mrs. Zhou. If it weren’t for Su Xiaoxiao’s family’s top three, Mrs. Zhou wouldn’t be able to offend her.

       Of course, it's not that she didn't arrange it, but she didn't dare to go too far.

      Su Xiaoxiao has a very bad impression of this person, so she won't show mercy to her.

       Zhou's first cannon was silent, it was really useless.

       Absolutely, Mrs. Huang didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to help her. She came prepared, and it was enough to kill this girl by herself!

      She looked at Su Xiaoxiao, and said with a sigh: "Big girl, my aunt knows that what you said just now was all angry words, how can you write couplets? If you could write, you would have posted them."

      Su Xiaoxiao secretly shook her head.

      You people have poor tea skills and heavy speaking skills. Compared with Ms. Li, you are all scum.

      That is a real man in the business world. Even if Su Xiaoxiao only has a fingernail ability, it is enough to beat this group of people.

       "What if I take it out?" Su Xiaoxiao stopped talking nonsense with Huang, and went straight to the point, "Does what Auntie just said still count?"

      Huang sneered: "Oh, of course it counts! You can write it! I'll cut off my head!"

       Doesn't she know Xiaosu's family yet?

      Besides knowing banknotes, can't tell any other words!Write couplets?Next life!

       "Okay." Su Xiaoxiao nodded, and said to Su Ergou who came back from carrying water, "Take the machete."

    "okay!"

      Su Ergou put down the bucket, and came over with a butcher's knife, "Sister, I can't find the machete. Can I use a butcher's knife?"

      Everyone was taken aback!

      Huang's face turned pale: "Su Daya! You want to kill someone!"

      Su Xiaoxiao said: "No, it's my aunt who wants to chop off the head. I'm afraid you don't have a knife, so I just prepared it for you."

      Huang said coldly: "Su Daya! Now let's talk about couplets! What a fool!"

       "Ergou." Su Xiaoxiao said, "Go to your brother-in-law's room to get couplets."

      Is there a couplet in my brother-in-law’s room?

      Su Ergou went in with a dazed face, and came out with a dazed face, with half of the couplet hanging on each arm.

      Everyone was shocked, right?Xiao Su's family really wrote the couplet?

       "Impossible!" Mrs. Huang couldn't believe that people from Xiao Su's family could write couplets even to death. She even wrote... She couldn't read, but she could count.

      The words on this couplet are obviously more than those written by her son.

      Huang said sharply: "You...you bought it in the town, right? That's right! It must be like this! I saw you going to the town this morning! You went to buy couplets, right?"

      Su Xiaoxiao chubby tapped the couplet with his fingertips: "Open your eyes to see clearly! The ink is not dry yet!"

      The villagers came forward to watch.

       "Don't touch it!" Su Ergou said fiercely.

      The fingers stretched out by everyone quickly retracted.

      They could see it clearly, the ink was moist and exuded a strong ink fragrance, and it looked like it had just been written.

       And, because of the proximity, they made a new discovery.

      The couplet paper from Xiaosu’s house...seems to be more correct in color than Scholar Chen’s couplet paper!

       is also thicker!

       Also... no hair, no fading!

       It doesn't fade!

      The youngest son of the Village Officer's family couldn't help touching it, it really won't fade!

    Chen Haoyuan used the most common red paper, the kind painted with brackets, the quality of the dye was not good, so when he bought it, the color faded very badly, Tie Dan and another child holding couplets, their hands and sleeves were all red.

      In addition, Chen Haoyuan's red paper has rough texture and thin texture, and the ink is slightly smudged, not to mention soaking through the paper.

    The red paper that Su Xiaoxiao brought back from the academy was ordered by Dean Shen from Prefecture City with a lot of money. The base paper is rice paper, using the best dyeing process, and an extra layer is thickened. It is naturally smooth and not sticky.Soaked, does not fade, and the color is more vermilion and pure.

      Dean Shen bought it for Mr. Xiang, and he was reluctant to use it himself.

       Shen Chuan was very prodigal and took ten cards for the old man to give to Su Xiaoxiao!

      Even a fool can see that Xiao Su's couplet paper is more than one grade higher than Scholar Chen's.

       What the folks are thinking is—I heard that Su Fatty took Su Ergou to do business in the town. Could it be that he really made money?

      But Huang's inner drama is——no!This is not true!How can a vulgar girl like Su Fatty use better paper than his son's?

    Huang's face turned blue and red, and her heart was about to explode: "You, you...who knows what you wrote? Can you say it is a couplet after just scribbling? Then I'll buy some paper,Ghost painting talisman, can it also be recharged?"

    Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "It doesn't matter if my aunt is illiterate, I'll read it to you."

       "The first couplet: The five lakes and the four seas are full of spring! The second couplet: Thousands of waters and mountains are full of brilliance! Hengbiao - Vientiane update!"

      She has learned some characters recently, and this couplet happens to be within the scope of her knowledge. If Wei Ting writes one more new character, she will not be able to fully recognize it.

      Everyone gasped.

       They have seen the devil!

      Su Fatty read the couplet?

      She, Su Fatty, literate?!

       Is this still the little fat bully who steals money all day long and eats too much?

      God, earth!

       Did the sow climb the tree?

      The sun is still coming out from the west!

      Mum uh, I'm going home!

      Everyone’s jaws dropped in shock!For a long while, no one from the countryman spoke!

      Su Xiaoxiao likes this kind of effect that if you don't believe me, I'll blind all of you!

      She raised her chin, put Xiaopang's hands behind her back, and said braggingly: "I taught it!"

       That's great, she actually learned it secretly, Wei Ting didn't have the kindness to teach her!

      Huang doesn't believe it!

      How could this damn girl be so lucky?

       Recruited a son-in-law who came to visit like a fairy, but he is still a scholar?!

      No, no, being able to write does not mean that you are a scholar. Some people just knew a few words in their early years, but in the end they still eat in the ground.

      She heard people from the old Su family mention that Su Cheng and his new son-in-law often went to the Qian family to farm.

      He really has the ability to write couplets. Isn’t copying books for others more money than farming?

      Huang immediately concluded that the characters on the couplets were not serious characters, and even if they were, they were just like those mud-legged people in the countryside who had only studied for a few years. Who knew what was written!

      As for Su Fatty, she definitely didn’t read characters on the spot, but memorized them in advance!

       It doesn't matter if Huang is paranoid, or she doesn't want others to feel better, in short, she thinks there must be a mystery here!

      She said to Tie Dan: "Go, call Brother Hao! Let him recognize what is written on that couplet!"

       Tie Dan obediently went.

      Su Xiaoxiao laughed outright when she heard the words.

      Mr. Huang pointed to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Damn girl, what are you laughing at?"

      Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "I laugh at you for being stupid."

    Huang asked someone to find someone to expose her fake couplet, but when Chen Haoyuan came over and saw Wei Ting's handwriting, wouldn't he be compared to autism?

       "Do you want to call the Village Officer together?" Su Xiaoxiao said provocatively.

      The folks are illiterate, it’s not what Chen Haoyuan said, how can everyone believe it.

      She remembered that the Village Officer was literate and fairly fair.

      Huang snorted: "Call me when you call! Whoever is afraid of whom! You expect the Village Officer to protect you! Impossible!"

      Oh, Mrs. Huang has such a brain circuit, thinking that she called the Village Officer, because she intends to let the Village Officer protect the villagers?

    The villagers were also led astray by Mrs. Huang. At first, they felt that Su Fatty was confident and confident. The words on the couplet were probably not written in random, but after being yelled at by Mrs. Huang, they felt that Su Fatty was referring to the Village Officer to sell Xiao Su’s house.a favor.

      Will the Village Officer agree?

       This drama is really getting more and more heart-wrenching.

      Li was living next door to Old Li Tou's house, and the two came here together again, unlike the time when Wan Shi and Mrs. Wang Laizi came to make a fuss, Old Li Tou was illiterate, so he didn't have a place to intervene today.

      He was just worried about Da Ya.

      He has seen the changes in Xiaosu's family, and he really doesn't want them to be maliciously slandered again.

       "Guo Lizheng."

      Chen Haoyuan also came over and greeted him.

      Village Officer nodded politely: "Scholar Chen."

       "Mother, what happened?" Chen Haoyuan asked Huang.

      At the door, Su Ergou had already pasted the couplets with red background and black characters on the wall of his house with paste, and the banners were properly pasted!

       Huang waved his hand and pointed: "Show me, what's written on that couplet!"

      Chen Haoyuan followed the trend and looked.

       It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, the whole person freezes.

       Seeing his son's reaction like this, Mrs. Huang couldn't help urging: "Brother Hao, what's the matter? Are you talking? Are you writing indiscriminately? It doesn't make sense?"

      The attention of all the villagers fell on Chen Haoyuan.

      Honestly speaking, they are indeed illiterate, but for some reason, Xiao Su's couplets are more pleasing to the eye than Scholar Chen's couplets.

      Chen Haoyuan stared at the couplet, and clenched his fingers a little bit, showing an expression of disbelief.

       "Who wrote this?" he asked.
