Chapter 10 Joy is not as good as joy
I muttered and said:
"What's the matter, so panicked, people see it, what kind of system is it?"
"Huh?" Ah Zheng has never seen me talk such serious nonsense, and he seems to be a little unable to react.
kicked Ah Zheng's calf without leaving a trace, then pulled him aside, and said angrily:
"Ahh
Ah Zheng was embarrassed to give a blessing to the small bowl, and then turned around and whispered in my ear:
"Then Chen Yuanwai is going to hold a painting competition today, and the first place winner will be given 100 gold!"
As soon as I heard the hundred gold, my eyes couldn't help but glow with greed, and I almost drooled......
This Chen Yuanwai is the richest businessman in the capital, and he is also a figure in the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. He usually tells people that he has three treasures: not gold or silver, one is the twelve musicians with outstanding temperament and talent and appearance in Nale Fang; the second is the authentic work of Li Hongyuan, the most famous ink master in ancient times; and the third and most precious treasure is the pearl in his palm that he is afraid of falling in his hand and afraid of melting in his mouth - Chen Xiaoyu!
No matter how this Miss Chen looks, she is a fish and a goose, a flower in the moon, talented and virtuous, and there is no one in ten thousand. Even if she has no talent and no gain, her appearance is not good, and the people who step through the threshold of their family to ask for relatives, it will be an endless stream, one after another, who let her have such a rich father!
It is said that this Miss Chen is also an ambitious person, and she is willing to find a wishful husband to marry, Chen Yuanwai is the only one in the palm of her hand, and she is also pampered, so she is almost eighteen now, and she is still in the boudoir, which is also a miracle.
Although this Chen Yuanwai is a wealthy businessman, he is also a benevolent master, and he often sends rice to help the poor, and he has a good reputation in the capital. It's just that if you have money, you are also like to collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings and raise some music and dancing girls, and often invite some dignitaries and nobles in the house, taste wine and enjoy music, praise and dance Ji Miaoman's posture, and the life atmosphere is also the pursuit of luxury.
And these twelve musicians, each with their own musical rhythm, have their own skills, which is very desirable. And this Chen Yuanwai also knows their value, so they are not very valuable people, and they are reluctant to let them come out to meet guests.
Although beauty is like jade, it is thought-provoking, but I prefer gold to beauty to the yellow gold!
I can't blame me for treating money as my life so much, the meager income I get as an official really makes me miserable, and I spend money like running water, and I have no restraint when I am in a whim, so in order to satisfy some of my hobbies, I also have a side job, that is, a painter!
If I have this hundred gold, it will be enough for me to live happily for several months, hahaha, I can't help but look up to the sky and laugh, God help me!
Not far away, Xiaowan'er saw it, only to say that I was sick again, and they couldn't help laughing, but they were also a little curious, I don't know what Ah Zheng said to me, I made me so out of shape!
I suddenly became more energetic, pulled Ah Zheng and asked:
"Do you know what the title is?"
Ah Zheng knows my thoughts, and he has already inquired about it.
"What you want to draw is the twelve Le Ji outside Chen Yuan!"
Ah, that's a lot to count in one fell swoop!
In this way, not only can you enjoy the legendary twelve talented Le Ji beauties, but you can also include 100 gold, there is nothing more joyful than this!
"Where?"
"On the Green Wave Bridge near Chen Yuanwai's house, Chen Yuanwai will block the vicinity, and only invited artists will have the opportunity to participate in this competition!"
"So, are you also invited?"
With such a position, with the character of Chen Yuanwai who loves to paint and is obsessed, he naturally will not miss the three new genre paintings in the painting world recently!
Genre painting is different from general ink painting, focusing on the portrayal of all kinds of characters, the depiction of demeanor, the highlighting of the personality of the characters, mostly men and women complain to each other, the feelings are delicate, the painting customs are not lewd, the meaning is far-reaching, interesting, and people can't put it down!
Nowadays, there are three major custom painters in the capital who are the most popular, they are Xiaoyaosheng, Changgexing, and Chu Maniac. The painting styles of these three are very different, but the painters are excellent, and the paintings they make are also the best-selling, and a painting can be worth a thousand taels, which is not a lie.
"Indeed, I am invited, please rest assured, everything is ready!"
Ah Zheng looked confident, I knew that he had helped me get the opportunity to enter, and patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction to express his appreciation, it really deserved to be my □□ subordinate!
"When will it start?"
"Two hours later!"
"Excellent, you go and prepare first, and see you at Midori Bridge in two hours!"
"Yes!"
Ah Zheng got the order, nodded to Xiao Wan'er, and left with a smile. He is familiar with this matter, so I will leave it to him to deal with it with confidence.
Facing the curious gaze of Xiaowan'er, the corners of my mouth curled slightly, revealing a slightly evil smile, and said:
"Little bowl, would you like to accompany me to enjoy the flowers?"
......
Xiao Wan'er had a puzzled expression, and was dragged by me to the west wall of the courtyard outside the Chen Yuanwai house.
This west wall is nearly □□ feet high, and I am not a martial arts master, so I can enter with a light skill.
Hehe, but, you have a good plan, I have a cloud ladder!
I searched the surrounding grass piles, no, isn't the pre-arranged bamboo ladder lying in the corner?
I happily pulled the ladder out and set it up against the wall. was about to jump up, but was stopped by the small bowl.
He stared at me incredulously, as if he had seen a flood beast.
"You, what are you doing?"
"Cherry blossoms?" I said so lightly.
This west chamber is mostly a women's boudoir, could it be that he said that the meaning of flower appreciation is......
The corners of Xiaowan'er's mouth twitched, and he said coldly:
"You're trespassing on a private house, and you're going to be executed!"
I didn't seem to notice Xiaowan'er's anger, and said with some excitement:
"No, no, it's not going over the wall to break into the house, I'm looking outside the wall, don't count, don't count, haha!"
Xiao Wan'er was a little eager to slap the shameless man in front of him, he really didn't come for nothing, he was so good at exploiting the loopholes of the law, so cunning, almost the same as the fox!
"You ......"
Xiao Wan'er didn't even know what to say.
"Aren't you curious, what does Chen Yuanwai's daughter look like?"
I took the little bowl and said with great interest the purpose of this visit.
Oh, well, he came here to climb the wall, because he wanted to see the true face of the daughter of the boudoir!
What a merry playboy!
Xiao Wan'er snorted coldly in her heart.
I looked at Xiao Wan'er's cold appearance, and thought that he was scared for the first time to do such a thing, so I patted him on the shoulder as if encouragingly, and with an expression that you understand, I said:
"Don't worry, I've already inquired clearly, at this hour, Miss Chen will practice in the courtyard of the West Wing!"
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, there was a faint sound of the piano in the courtyard.
I happily handed the little bowl an encouraging look, and then grabbed the ladder and climbed it, and said:
"If you don't look at this time, when will you stay?!haha!"
Climbed over the corner, carefully poked his head out, looked around, pavilions, full of □□, intoxicating. Following the sound of the qin, I saw that many maids in the courtyard were separated around, and the one surrounded in the middle should be the daughter of the Chen family who stroked the qin!
"Oh, what a beauty!"
I couldn't help but sigh lightly, and gestured to the small bowl below, so that he could come up and see quickly, this solitary joy is not as good as the joy of all!
Although Xiao Wan'er was angry in her heart, under my constant urging, she actually had a little curiosity, grabbed the bamboo ladder and followed.
I hurriedly moved a little over to make room for the small bowl.
Xiao Wan'er saw that Chen Qianjin at a glance, and sure enough, she was more beautiful than flowers, as beautiful as a peach and plum. A pair of almond eyes, two dimples, and a small cherry mouth, she is indeed a petite beauty, the kind of daughter who should be well protected in her arms.
Xiao Wan'er also nodded, and said with a smile:
"It's not the first time that an adult has done this, right?"
As if praising me, I waved my hand embarrassedly and said:
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as the so-called love for beauty everyone has. I like to see beautiful women, and that's why I just have a hobby!"
Oh......
"There are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches! Beauty is like flowers, adults love beauty so much, why not fold back, appreciate flowers every day, isn't it wonderful?"
How could I hear that this was cold, and for some reason, I couldn't help but shiver.
"Eh, look at what you said, although I like to enjoy flowers, but I am also a person who protects flowers and cherishes flowers.
When I said this, I felt a sense of emptiness.
"I really can't see that my lord is still a humble gentleman?!"
Xiao Wan'er's tone was still cold and sarcastic, I was used to it, so I pretended not to know and continued to enjoy the flowers.
This Miss Chen's piano skills are said to have been taught by the twelve musicians, so this daughter can not only play the piano, but also be familiar with other musical instruments?!
"It's a pity, it's a pity, although this young lady's piano sound is pleasant, it can't compare to that Suzhu girl!"
I can't help but sigh like this, as the saying goes, everything is loose, there are too many things, but it is difficult to specialize, this young lady is like this, if you are not proficient in one subject, I am afraid that other musical instruments will not be able to achieve great success.
When I mentioned Miss Suzhu, Xiao Wan'er's figure was obviously stagnant, and I thought he was also interested in this Tao, so I said:
"Next time, I'll take you to the Drunken Immortal Building and listen to the sound of that Suzhu girl's piano!"
I stood up and patted my chest to make a promise, I'm a man of my word!
It was good not to stand up, and as soon as he stood up, he immediately attracted the attention of the maid in the garden.
"Ah......h
The screams of the maids pierced the sky.
"Ah...... Is it a man...... The Prodigal Son ......"
There was a sudden chaos in the garden, and the maids hurriedly ran to the back room with Miss Chen, shouting and greeting the nursery.
I was also taken aback, I didn't expect it to be exposed, and I was hesitating to retreat.
What I didn't expect was that Miss Chen looked delicate, but she was also a ruthless character, picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and threw it at me.
Before I could react, my head was smashed hard, and my forehead was swollen all the time. If you are unstable under your feet, you will be planted!
It's over, it's going to fall, and if you don't die, you have to be crippled!
