Happy Little Scholar
Chapter 34: The Aftermath of the Magpie Bridge
For any family in Liuye Village, ten taels of silver is a huge sum of money. Tianlai Novel
Even Liu Ruyi saw so much money for the first time in her life.
But at this moment, she looked at Li Yi, thinking about more than just this one thing.
A few days ago on the Chinese Valentine's Day, a "Magpie Bridge Fairy" was widely circulated in Liuye Village. Even the girls in the village who were illiterate could recite it completely.
Liu Ruyi didn't understand poetry. When she heard Li Yi's poem from Xiaohuan, she just felt that it was catchy and sounded a bit interesting. Especially the last sentence "If the love between two people is long, why should we be together day and night", it seems to make some sense.
Of course, sometimes she would think of more things...If she didn't have a deep understanding of the love between men and women, she would definitely not be able to write such poems. Did this scholar who lived with her day and night have any sensational things before? Could it be that there was a woman in his heart who he missed but couldn't meet?
But from the surface, it doesn't seem like that...
Thinking of his lazy, greedy, and stealing chickens from his second aunt's family, it's hard to imagine that such a person would write such a great poem.
However, she could only think about these in her heart, but it was difficult to ask.
As for deeper things, such as the quality of poetry, or how good it is, she didn't have these concepts in her mind. Poetry is something that scholars play with. If you grab a scholar from the street, I'm afraid he can also write similar words.
But after seeing some things with her own eyes, she realized that things... don't seem to be like this.
Just now, when she was buying some daily necessities for women on the street, she accidentally heard two women next to her talking about a poem called "Magpie Bridge Fairy", and the content was exactly the same as the one she had heard. Later, when talking about the author of the poem, the two expressed their admiration for the talented man named "Li Yi".
Until this moment, the talented scholar with amazing talent they talked about gradually overlapped with the lazy figure in Liu Ruyi's mind.
After that, she paid attention and heard more information.
For example, this poem was circulated from a poetry meeting on the night of Qixi Festival. It was said that someone picked up a prayer lantern on the painting boat. This poem that caused an uproar among the literati in Anqing Prefecture was written on this prayer lantern.
Whether it is true or not, this rumor undoubtedly adds a bit of mystery to the whole thing.
However, this legendary story, which most people only regard as a topic of conversation after dinner, still has very few people who do not doubt its authenticity.
Liu Ruyi is one of them.
Xiaohuan's prayer lantern was released by her own eyes. I am afraid that no one in Liuye Village at that time could have thought that the ordinary word written on the lantern, which they thought, would cause such a big wave in a certain place.
It is said that the champion of the Qixi poetry at a large poetry gathering that day, a famous talent in Qing'an Prefecture, tore up his own poems after seeing "Magpie Bridge Fairy" and said "I will never write Qixi poetry again in this life", which shocked everyone and added fuel to the fire of the whole thing.
After the poetry gathering, a Qixi poetry collection compiled by a special person selected the best works that appeared in the poetry gathering that night. This "flying poem from the sky" was ranked first. A talent named "Li Yi" was known by the literati, singers, and many women who admired this poem in Qing'an Prefecture without any warning.
Those who can be selected to compile poetry collections are naturally not ordinary people. At least they can convince everyone in terms of talent. Since ancient times, there has been no first place in literature. In the past, there has always been a debate about the ranking of selected poems, but this time, no one expressed a different opinion on putting "Magpie Bridge Fairy" in the first place.
At the same time, the talented man named Li Yi, with the sentence "If the love between two people lasts for a long time, why should we be together day and night?", has captured the hearts of many girls in the boudoir. Of course, not only those girls, but also some women who have really experienced emotional ups and downs or accumulations, may feel more deeply about this sentence.
Although his origin is still a mystery, it does not affect the admiration of the girls for him. Even Li Yi himself does not know this...
Of course, Liu Ruyi knows this.
Thinking of the intoxicated expressions of the two girls when they talked, Liu Ruyi could not imagine what their reaction would be if they knew that the peerless talent they admired in their hearts was the guy in front of them?
Of course, she could not imagine that the poem he wrote casually could be so good. No one in the entire Qing'an Prefecture could match it...
Liu Ruyi was not clear about the affairs of scholars, and she still could not accept that the guy who was just robbed could be so good. At this moment, she put these thoughts aside, looked down and saw the paper tube that Li Yi put on the table, and reached out to take it.
Li Yi, who was next to him, looked up and saw that Liu Ruyi was about to open the painting. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurried over and reached out to grab it.
If she saw that she was painting her, who knows what she would think in her heart...
Li Yi's speed was naturally not as fast as Liu Ruyi. She raised her hand lightly, and Li Yi's pounce was empty.
"What is this?" Seeing him so anxious, Liu Ruyi raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Nothing, just a doodle..." Li Yi laughed dryly twice, and naturally couldn't tell the truth at this time.
If she thinks I have some idea about her... brother-in-law falls in love with sister-in-law, tsk tsk... sounds quite exciting...
Liu Ruyi looked at him with a meaningful look, and threw the painting tube back without opening the painting in her hand.
Li Yi hurriedly caught it, and his heart was finally at ease.
"How should this silver be spent..." Not wanting to dwell on this issue, Li Yi hurriedly changed the subject.
"Of course, buy food!"
Including the big man surnamed Fang, everyone said almost in unison.
For them, even if they had a hundred taels of silver, it was far less secure than holding a full rice jar at home.
Living at the bottom of society, the status of food and land in their hearts cannot be replaced by anything.
The family was already so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat, so food must be bought. Even if they didn't say it, Li Yi had this plan. He waved his hand, and the group entered the city gate again.
At the same time, the girl holding the painting walked around the street, bought some things, and then walked into a small building with quite gorgeous decorations in a busy area on the street.
