Chapter 15 Private Destiny
I felt a faint sense of uneasiness in my heart, and I always felt that there must be some misunderstanding in this. But seeing that Miss Chen pointed out angrily that I was not really Xiaoyaosheng, as if pretending to be Xiaoyaosheng was a heinous crime, I suddenly felt angry and funny.
Although Xiaoyaosheng is a little famous in the painting world, he is not a great person, after all, he paints genre paintings, and for Confucian scholars who regard themselves as orthodox, genre paintings can be said to be unpopular and used as pastime paintings.
The reason why I started painting genre paintings was because I had read a poem.
Ringing Zheng Golden Millet Pillar, in front of the jade room.
If you want to get Zhou Langgu, you always flick the strings by mistake.
A woman who was playing a zither deliberately played the wrong tone every time she passed through the corridor in front of her room to attract the attention of her sweetheart.
I felt that this scene was very interesting and full of interest, so I put the thoughts of the little daughter's family and the person's smile and silence on the paper.
At that time, I also made it on a whim, and I also took the nickname "Joyful Life", and I forgot about it after painting. Unexpectedly, Yang Anyuan actually took this painting to the largest study in the capital to decorate Wenzhai, and happened to be favored by a wealthy businessman and bought the painting back at a high price.
The boss of the ornament Wenzhai is a visionary businessman, and when he saw that the price of this painting was so high, he instigated Yang Anyuan to send the painting again, and he was willing to pay a high price to include it. Yang Anyuan was so happy that he hurriedly came to me and tried his best to encourage me to take over this job.
At that time, I also contracted some bad problems of scholars and doctors spending money like water, either to drink wine or to buy books, or to collect a few antiques on the market, only relying on the Hanlin Academy to repair that meager money, how can it be enough to spend, no, was instigated by Yang Anyuan, so he moved his mind, and finally agreed to take the job.
In order to paint better works, during that time, I went to the famous building to paint the boat many times, and every day I saw all the warblers and swallows, celebrities and scholars, indulgent and fun, extreme luxury, and those rich and extravagant, all kinds of life, I saw it all over again, and I also painted it all over......
As time goes by, the reputation of Xiaoyaosheng is getting higher and higher, but my heart is getting more and more tired.
In my heart, Xiaoyaosheng is just a layman who only knows how to paint genre paintings, is there anyone who will go to the trouble to pretend to be him?
"Why did the young lady say that?"
I bowed to Miss Chen, and suppressed the doubts in my heart, I tried my best to be polite, so as not to offend Miss Chen.
This Chen Xiaoyu is also a person with a temperament, straightforward temperament, not a person who likes to beat around the bush, seeing that I am clearly a fake Xiaoyaosheng but still does not admit it, with a sense of indignation in his heart, he will definitely expose the mask of this sanctimonious person in front of everyone!
"I've seen Xiaoyaosheng with my own eyes, this person is in the wind, graceful, gentle and polite, and has the style of a gentleman, how can it be comparable to you, a vulgar mountain man?"
I suddenly heard so many beautiful words, completely ignoring who the vulgar mountain man was talking about, and kept muttering in my heart, is this praising me?
Alas, although the appearance of the bearded man I am now is indeed a bit weird, but the jade tree is in the wind, graceful, gentle and polite, and has the style of a gentleman, isn't it me, Gao Chen?
Could it be that where did this Miss Chen see me before? Oh, I have seen so many beautiful women, I really can't remember where I had a relationship with this Miss Chen? For me, the first time I saw this Miss Chen was not long ago when I climbed the west wall of their house!
I suddenly had a strange look on my face, and I kept trying to remember where I had seen Miss Chen.
That Chen Xiaoyu saw that I looked careless and fearless, and I was clearly a shameless and shameless villain, since this is the case, don't blame her Chen Xiaoyu's subordinates for being ruthless.
"You still won't admit that you're an impostor?"
Chen Xiaoyu angrily grabbed me by the collar and said viciously:
"In that case, today I want you to be ruined!"
I was stunned for a while, and then saw that Miss Chen took the seal I had just handed her, and said coldly:
"Just with this fake seal, you can prove that you are not a free life!"
What?
I don't know why, but when Chen Xiaoyu mentioned the authenticity of this seal, I raised my eyes and looked carefully at the seal in her hand, my expression changed suddenly, and the strange feeling when the seal was placed came to my heart again, and I didn't have time to think about it at that time, but now, I saw it clearly, this seal is indeed a problem!
I hurriedly snatched the seal back from Chen Xiaoyu's hand, took it in my hand and looked at it carefully, only to find that this should have been an extremely precious stone engraved on the Huangtian stone, I don't know when it was replaced by a slightly inferior stone, the smooth and warm stone surface, the color is dull and dull, and the stone sideways lettering does not have a sense of vigor and power, which is not as heavy as before.
It's really not my side of the mark!
Yang Anyuan, this loser, I can't help but greet him himself thousands of times in my heart!
Then I remembered that a month ago, this kid suddenly came to borrow a seal from me, saying that he wanted to play with it for a few days, I didn't think much about it at the time, knowing that he liked the stone of this seal, so I borrowed him to play with it for a few days. Since then, I've been so busy with business that I don't have time to paint, so there's no use for this seal, which is why the kid took advantage of the loophole.
I know what virtues he has, and playing with the seal is an excuse, just to use the name of a free life to win a little favor among the celebrities and oirans, and to deceive a few glasses of good wine to drink.
But I didn't expect him to do this kind of thing, he didn't know what this seal meant to me, and he actually used a fake seal to trick his brother, is he still human?
I gritted my teeth with hatred, and my whole body trembled with anger, and I couldn't wait to find Yang Anyuan immediately, and I was sorry for myself if I didn't beat him!
Chen Xiaoyu saw that I was trembling, and thought that I was at the end of the road and had nothing to do, so he raised his head and said:
"If you bow your head and confess your sins now, it's still too late!"
"Confession?
Angry, I couldn't help but ridicule each other, even if this seal is fake, but Yang Anyuan in order to avoid my suspicion, this seal is vividly copied by someone, and almost concealed me, how did this Chen family's daughter know that this seal is fake, and what she said is so conclusive!
"How do you know that this seal is fake?"
I don't think it's that simple.
Chen Xiaoyu didn't seem to expect my attitude to suddenly become tougher, a little anti-customer-oriented, a little panicked, and then the young lady's temper came up, how could she be willing to be bullied like this, and the other party was still a shameless person, and said confidently:
"Of course I know, because I've not only seen it with my own eyes, I've verified it myself!"
What the?
I couldn't believe my ears, but Miss Chen said that she had seen my seal with her own eyes, and that she had verified it herself.
I looked at the two seals on the drawing paper, and realized that the two seals were almost similar, but a small missing corner of the border made the two strangely different.
The difference is a millimeter, and the error is a thousand miles!
The seal with a small missing corner on the border is the seal that really belongs to me!
At this moment, I have a sense of grievance that I can't get clear when I jump into the Yellow River, no, I have to investigate this matter no matter what.
Ignoring those cumbersome etiquettes, I grabbed Chen Xiaoyu's arms with some excitement and asked:
"Where have you seen the seal, and in whose hands?"
Chen Xiaoyu was frightened by my radical actions, and the people around him also felt that this move was out of place, and Master Chen was even more angry, and rushed over and prepared to pull me and Chen Xiaoyu apart.
Chen Xiaoyu was a little flustered at first, but he quickly calmed down, and the nobility and bearing of the eldest lady were fully revealed at this moment, and she slapped my hand away and said:
"The seal is naturally in the hands of the real Xiaoyaosheng, and it ......"
Chen Xiaoyu's tone paused slightly, and then his face actually showed the shyness of his little daughter's family, blushed slightly, and said:
"I and Xiaoyaolang, the two are happy, the love is deep, and it has ...... Promise each other for life, in this life, I will not marry, he will not marry!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and that sentence of Xiaoyao Lang also scared me to the point that I was not possessed, and the little bowl behind me who had been indifferent was also clenched to death with a fist under his sleeve.
Yang Anyuan, you are a well-dressed beast! Who are you not easy to mess with, you actually went to provoke Chen Yuanwai's pearl in the palm of your hand, are you eating the bear's heart and leopard's guts?
I howled in my heart, but when I thought about it, look at this Miss Chen's heart, ordinary people will not look at it, if the handsome Yang Anyuan was happy to be a little more attractive, but now he has a fat belly and a round face, even if Miss Chen's eyesight is not good, she will not look down on him?
My mind is in a mess now, who is this free life? Is this kind of thing that deceives women's feelings and ruins people's reputation done by a person who knows books and etiquette?
Then Chen Yuanwai was not in a hurry to ask his daughter what was going on with this private life, Chen Xiaoyu's bold confession to Xiaoyaosheng exploded in the crowd after a while, and people kept breaking out even more terrible things.
"Alas, pitiful, I didn't expect that none of the daughters outside Chen Yuanyuan could escape the clutches of the prodigal son of Xiaoyaosheng!"
"Rumors say that this is a free life, messing with flowers and grass everywhere, and being romantic, I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"You don't know, although this carefree student is good at painting, his character is very poor!"
"There's no way around it, who told people not only to be handsome and extraordinary, but also to be generous, which woman would not be tempted?"
"It is said that the Oiran in the famous Lou Painting Boat is vying to ask for that free life to be the guest of the curtain!"
......
Hearing this, my head broke out in a cold sweat, my face turned pale, how could this be, in just one month, what happened, how did Xiaoyao become like this?
I was a little unsteady on my feet, and if I hadn't been holding on to the drawing table, I was afraid that I would have fallen to my knees.
When Chen Xiaoyu saw that everyone slandered his lover Xiaoyaosheng, he only felt that this group of ordinary people was jealous of his talent, and said these words to slander Xiaoyaosheng, and shouted angrily:
"You are not allowed to speak ill of Xiaoyao Lang like this!"
Knowing that this young lady couldn't be offended, those people who were talking about it all closed their mouths with interest, but their faces were all smiling, which made Chen Xiaoyu angry.
She took care of her father's face, and it was difficult to find that group of rude people, but she could also use that fake person to be angry, kill chickens and monkeys, and make that group of people shut up their stinky mouths!
"You impostor, now you have two options, one is to be sent by my father to serve in the official office with a torture rod, and the other two, as long as you kneel down in front of you and admit that you are a hypocrite, I will let my father let you live. Look at the choice yourself!"
