Other vendors shouted loudly, almost shouting. Passers-by naturally knew what they were selling, but who could know that Li Youyun sat there to make a living by selling calligraphy and paintings?

Moreover, Li Youyun is just a poor scholar, how could someone ask about his calligraphy and paintings?

"Hey, are you a scholar?"

Suddenly, an old woman in maroon came to Li Youyun, and she looked at Li Youyun with a little confusion.

Li Youyun's face turned a little red, but he hurriedly stood up and bowed, "I am indeed a scholar. Do you want to buy a pair of calligraphy and paintings, aunt?"

"I can't read a big handwriting for old woman. I can't buy your calligraphy and paintings as food or clothing. What can I buy them?" The old woman in Mai smiled.

"Then are you..." Li Youyun said in a daze.

"Why."

"My kid is fighting a war from a distance from the border. He sent someone to send a letter back, but I, the old woman, couldn't read a word. I want to ask you to help me read it. It's better to reply to the kid in my family." The old woman explained her purpose.

"I see."

Li Youyun nodded slowly, his eyes showing disappointment, but he was kind-hearted and said, "Where is the letter, I'll help you take a look."

"Okay, okay, thank you very much."

The old woman smiled gratefully and hurriedly took out the letter and handed it to Li Youyun. Li Youyun opened the letter and kept reading it to the old woman, which also made me cry and kept talking about my son who was far away from the border.

"Auntie, I have written the letter. You just need to send someone to your son." Li Youyun handed the letter he had just written to the old woman, which made the old woman keep bowing to Li Youyun thankfully.

"Child, the aunt has no money, thank you. There are two meat buns here that were just rewarded by a big family. You must accept them."

As the old woman spoke, she took out two paper bags from the bamboo basket she was carrying. The fragrance of meat buns spread out. Before Li Youyun could refuse, she stuffed it into his hands, and then quickly left Li Youyun's stall.

"This...this..."

Looking at the two meat buns in his hand, Li Youyun was speechless, with relief and a hint of self-deprecation in his eyes.

He was relieved that he exchanged food for his hands, and he mocked himself that a great scholar had ended up in such a situation.

Gulu!

The aroma of meat buns woke Li Youyun up. He swallowed his saliva and carefully put the two meat buns into his bags.

Obviously, he was really hungry, but he knew that Ye Xuan and Fatty Huang should be hungry than him. These two meat buns were also left for Ye Xuan and Fatty Huang.

"I'm waiting for a while, and I'll definitely buy my calligraphy and paintings. When I get the money, my two brothers and I won't have to suffer so much."

It is the season of early spring, and the weather is still a little cold. Li Youyun is already weak. He hugged his arms and shivered in the cold wind, his lips are already a little white, but he is still insisting on waiting for the next customer to come.

"Sir, I...!"

Fatty Huang saw this scene and his eyes were filled with unbearable expressions. But before he could finish his words, Ye Xuan shook his head lightly and said, "Have I done what I told you?"

"It's done, but...but..." Fatty Huang couldn't bear it and could no longer say anything.

"No, don't forget your bet with me." Ye Xuan said coldly.

"Yes, sir." Fatty Huang had no choice but to let Li Youyun ask for more blessings in his heart.

In front of the City God Temple

Li Youyun shivered coldly. He kept rubbing his hands to warm himself up, but the thin clothes on his body made him feel no warmth at all.

"Hey, are you a scholar?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in front of Li Youyun's stall, and three young men were looking at Li Youyun with confusion.

"I am a scholar. Do you want to buy some calligraphy and paintings at the three brothers?" Seeing a guest coming to the door, Li Youyun was in a state of energy and hurriedly bowed to the three of them.

"Hmph, it's a shame. Since you are a scholar, why do you have to be with the stinky side of your life? You have really ruined the reputation of us scholars."

One of the young men scolded coldly. He was wearing a gorgeous robe. He looked like he was not rich or noble. At this moment, he looked at Li Youyun with disgust and contempt.

Li Youyun's face was flushed and he felt humiliated when he was disdainful of this person, but he bowed and said, "This brother doesn't know anything. He has been studying hard for ten years, just for the high school gold list.

"But the road to Beijing is far away, all my money has been used up. The eldest brother and the second brother have been hungry for me for several days. As a scholar, he should not bear to be hungry, but he can't bear to be hungry for the eldest brother and the second brother, so he came up with this bad strategy, wanting to sell some calligraphy and paintings for some money to fill the two brothers."

"What you said is true?"

Suddenly, another handsome boy asked.

"Every sentence is true, and the world can be seen." Li Youyun held his fist and bowed...

"A joke, it is a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a shame to be a fool."

The young man in a beautiful robe smiled coldly, then reincarnated and looked at the young man and said, "Young Master Xianxian, just like this kind of person who is a stinking man, let's leave, otherwise wouldn't it be a filthy eye?"

Unfortunately, in the face of this person's suggestion, the boy did not respond. Instead, he looked at Li Youyun with a smile and said, "I wonder if my brother can let me take a look at your calligraphy and paintings?"

Originally, Li Youyun was embarrassed and angry, but not only did the boy not leave, he also had to look at his calligraphy and paintings. Li Youyun could only hand over a calligraphy and painting to the boy.

The boy slowly pushed Li Youyun's calligraphy and painting away. In just three breaths, the boy's eyes lit up and he said three good words in his mouth.

"The pen is like a dragon and a snake, and the painting is clear and unique, and it is a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers!" The young man praised it endlessly, full of love.

You should know that he has a noble background and has seen many masterpieces of famous masters. Although Li Youyun's calligraphy and paintings cannot be compared with those of those famous masters, there is a kind of artistic conception of being clear and unworldly in calligraphy and paintings. If there is another expert to give Li Youyun a guide, Li Youyun's achievements will be limitless in the future.

"Brother, how much silver do you want for this beautiful picture of mountains and rivers?" The young man held the calligraphy and painting in his hand and looked at Li Youyun with admiration.

"Ten taels of silver." Li Youyun's face turned red.

"What, ten taels of silver?" the young man said in a daze.

"Five...50 taels are fine...it really can't be less." Li Youyun said with a blush. He thought the boy was too expensive, and this was his last bottom line.

Looking at Li Youyun's red face, the young man suddenly realized and quickly bowed and bowed, "Brother Tai misunderstood. This masterpiece from Brother Tai is worth ten thousand taels, and a mere ten taels of silver is simply an insult to Brother Tai."

"If my brother wrote me, I will bring back this calligraphy and painting first. If you wait for me here tomorrow, I will definitely send someone to send ten thousand taels of silver." The young man said solemnly.

Obviously, this young man was born with a noble family and didn't bring any money when he came out, but he couldn't put down Li Youyun's calligraphy and paintings, and he didn't want to give up just like that.

"Take it with Brother Zihua. The so-called ten thousand taels of silver are being raised high. Tomorrow, you can just send ten taels of silver."

Li Youyun was very sure that his calligraphy and paintings could be valued by both scholars. He presented the calligraphy and paintings with both hands, then picked up his luggage and left the City God Temple.
