Chapter 66: A Guest Comes from Far Away
As she spoke, Ye Tingting's eyes also fell on the wall painting.
"Are you looking at this picture of a folk girl Jin Yao?"
"Folk girl Jianyao?" I looked at Ye Tingting in some surprise.
Ye Tingting nodded and said, "Yes, the name of this painting is called Minnu Jianyao." You are a boy, you may not know the allusion of this painting, I have seen an allusion about the folk girl Jianyao in a book before. ”
"Allusions?" There are allusions to this painting, which I really don't know.
Ye Tingting looked at the wall painting and said: "According to legend, during the reign of Zhezong of the Song Dynasty, the emperor who was young was weak and sick, and countless imperial doctors could not cure his illness even after racking their brains. So he sought medical treatment from the people, a girl named Jin Yao was born in a medical family since she was a child, Jin Yao has the face of the country and the city, and knows how to dance gracefully among the people, and has long been famous among the people. She accompanied her father to the palace to treat the emperor, and the emperor fell in love at first sight when he saw her, and so did Jin Yao, who was in love with the emperor, and during the treatment, the two soon fell in love. ”
However, the good times did not last long, and this matter was soon discovered by the Queen Mother! The people's daughter Jin Yao was born humblely, where is she worthy of the emperor's dragon body. The queen mother attributed the emperor's illness to Jianyao's body and gave him death. ”
"After Jin Yao's death, the emperor suffered from lovesickness, and he didn't think about tea and dinner. A eunuch saw that the emperor was depressed and knew that he was because of Jin Yao, so he gave the emperor an idea, saying that as long as the blood of Jin Yao was used as ink, the bone was used as the pen shaft, the pen refill was made, and her face was painted, she could sing with the emperor at night. ”
So the emperor found the most powerful painter at that time to paint this painting, using the blood of Jin Yao as ink, bone as the barrel, and hair as the refill, to draw such a picture. It is said that after that, the emperor sang every night, and not long after, he died. However, this painting has been handed down and has become the picture of the people's girl Yao that we have passed on by word of mouth. ”
However, this is just a folk legend, and some people say that the former painter deliberately made up the story in order to sell his painting for a high price! Whether it is true or false is unknown, but this painting has indeed survived to this day. ”
After listening to this story, I nodded thoughtfully: "I see." ”
"Hehe!" Ye Tingting smiled slightly: "It seems that you are very interested in this painting?"
I laughed and said, "It's just that why is this Jin Yao covered her face?" ”
"It is said that this is the rule of the family of medical women, and women who are not out of the cabinet will wear a veil, and they cannot let people see their faces at will except for their closest relatives. Jianyao is not married, she was like this when the emperor first saw Jianyao, maybe in the emperor's mind, this kind of Jianyao is the most beautiful Jianyao!"
"I see!" I looked at the picture of the people's girl again.
"Actually, I think this may be the trick of the painter, he painted a beauty, but he covered the face of this beauty. This makes people curious about the appearance of beautiful women, so they will want to buy it and study it carefully!"
"You know a lot about drawing!"
"I majored in art, and I must have some expertise in calligraphy and painting. Ye Tingting smiled and said, "Let's go! Let's go to dinner." ”
"Good!"
As soon as we walked to a national restaurant and sat down, my mobile phone rang, and it was Wu Fatzi who called me.
"Mr. Li, I remember, last month, I brought something from home to the office to hang in. It's the painting you asked me about yesterday, that picture of a beautiful woman. ”
I remembered that the picture of the beauty was just like the mural I had just seen at school. The painting on the wall is the one I saw in Fat Wu's office, and I said it looks so familiar.
"The painting was given to me by a friend of mine a month and a half ago, and I kept it at home for half a month, and I only brought it to the office a month ago. I've been looking up things from a month ago and I've forgotten about the painting. ”
"Okay, then you wait for me for a while, and I'll come over after dinner." ”
At this point, I hung up, and vaguely I felt as if the painting was the crux of the matter.
"Li Yao, what's wrong with you?, are you busy?" Ye Tingting asked with a worried look on her face.
"It's okay, I'll go after dinner!"
"If you're busy, let's make an appointment another day, but we can't delay you. ”
"It's okay, there's no rush now! ”
Ye Tingting smiled slightly: "As long as it doesn't delay your work, that's good, I'm afraid of delaying your work." ”
At this time, the food came up, and the two of us began to move the chopsticks. I don't know why, I feel weird sitting with Ye Tingting to eat now, this feeling is completely different from last time. I don't know if it's because my relationship with Huang Yiyi is different, so when I eat with another girl, I feel quite guilty in my heart.
After being silent for a while, Ye Tingting finally broke the embarrassment between the two of us: "Li Yao, I'm really embarrassed about what happened last time, it's all my fault! ”
I looked at Ye Tingting, she was embarrassed to look at me, it seemed that that incident had a big impact on her.
I comforted: "It's okay, don't ruin our friendship because of this little thing, you are my only acquaintance in Xingzhou City." ”
When Ye Tingting heard this, she nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm." ”
"By the way, then you said last time that you were going to find a store to do fortune-telling business, did you find it?"
"Found it, at 132 Anlong Street. ”
"Then, did Miss Huang find it for you?"
I raised my head and looked at Ye Tingting, her eyes were dodging, and she deliberately didn't look at me, as if she was afraid of being discovered by me.
I didn't hide it and replied, "Yes, I'm not very familiar with this side, so she helped me." Something happened to her family before, and I went to her house to solve it, so now, she believes in me. ”
Ye Tingting squeezed out a smile and said, "It's good, your relationship with Miss Huang is really enviable." ”
"Aren't you two in love?"
After Ye Tingting finished speaking, her smile turned into a kind of waiting, as if she was waiting for my answer.
"The ......," I hesitated, a little unsure of what to answer. We kissed and slept in the same bed, but she just hadn't promised me to fall in love with me.
"It's okay, why are you so nervous, I'll just ask casually. ”
"By the way, your business should be pretty good, right?"
I nodded and said, "It's good, I'm doing something for someone right now." ”
"Then can you really see ghosts? What do ghosts look like? Are they the same as people? Or are they uglier than people?" Ye Tingting threw so many questions at me.
After a moment of silence, I replied: "Actually, ghosts are the same as people, they are transformed into people, what they look like before life, they ...... after death."
Before I finished speaking, a man's arrogant voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Are you still alarmist here?"
