Chapter 687
How did the style of painting become like this?
For Zhang Xiuxiu's question, Yan Yan was a little unbearable.
You know, a female teacher asks a male student if she is beautiful, and the subtext in this is too obvious!
If Yan Yan answered "not pretty", then he would completely anger Zhang Xiuxiu. This result is something Yan Yan doesn't want to see, because Yan Yan still wants to be his student well.
If Yan Yan answered "beautiful", Zhang Xiuxiu would be happy, but Yan Yan was worried that Zhang Xiuxiu would rub her nose and face and say something more out of line.
To be honest, although Zhang Xiuxiu is very beautiful, Yan Yan doesn't want to have emotional entanglements with Zhang Xiuxiu.
In Yan Yan's eyes, although Zhang Xiuxiu is beautiful, she obviously can't reach the level of Luo Luoshen and Qin Luoyan.
Moreover, even if Zhang Xiuxiu's appearance reached the level of Luo Luoshen and Qin Luoyan, Yan Yan didn't want to have emotional entanglements with Zhang Xiuxiu.
Since he was betrayed by Dugu Allure in the eighth life, Yan Yan has been cautious about the issue of women.
At this moment, Yan Yan avoided talking about whether Zhang Xiuxiu was beautiful, but picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "The tea is good." ”
Looking at Yan Yan's attitude, it is like a calligraphy lover asking a passer-by to evaluate his handwriting. As a result, the passer-by did not say how well the words were written, but only praised the good quality of the paper and the good quality of the ink.
After listening to Yan Yan's answer, the smile on Zhang Xiuxiu's face stiffened.
After a while, Zhang Xiuxiu's tone became flat: "Yan Yan, let's tell the story of your 'coincidence'!"
Yan Yan continued: "Let's say that after Ergouzi became the housekeeper of the Song rich man, he directly became the second-in-command of the Song family, and his status is naturally different from before." One day, the daughter of the rich man of Song, who is also the wife of the county lord, went back to her parents' house, and this time she went back to her parents' house. The rich man asked his daughter, 'Son, what is the trouble? Speaking of which, share your worries for your father.' The daughter of the rich man of Song sighed and said, "Father, not long ago, your son-in-law spared no expense and bought two thousand-mile horses, because the emperor's birthday is approaching, and your son-in-law wants to use these two thousand-mile horses as a gift. Your son-in-law has no choice but to prepare another gift for the emperor. However, now your son-in-law has spent all his savings! If the emperor celebrates his birthday, your son-in-law will not be able to come up with a decent gift, and he will lose his official position at the least, and behead him everywhere at the worst.' Speaking of this, the daughter of the rich man of Song took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears. Obviously, this time the daughter of the rich man Song went back to her parents' house to borrow money from the rich man of Song. Unexpectedly, when the rich man Song heard his daughter's words, he couldn't help laughing. The daughter of the rich man of Song stopped crying and said dissatisfiedly: 'Father, are you gloating?' The rich man of Song did not answer, but reprimanded his daughter fiercely: 'You have really never seen the world! What kind of thing is this? I cried my nose at such a trivial matter? I thought the sky was falling! What kind of trivial matter is this!' The attitude of the rich man of Song made the daughter of the rich man of Song stunned, and she looked at the rich man of Song and said: 'Father, what do you mean by this?' Daughter, my current butler is a peerless master of fortune-telling! Didn't the county magistrate lose two thousand-mile horses? Let my butler do the math, where are those two thousand-mile horses hiding now, isn't the problem solved? Do you still need to cry and cry? Alas, what a child has never seen the world!' When the daughter of the rich man Song heard this, she turned her sorrow into joy and immediately said, 'Please ask my father to invite the housekeeper over, I want to see him.' When Ergouzi appeared in front of the daughter of the rich man of Song, that is, the lady of the county magistrate, the lady of the county magistrate could not help but be disappointed! She complained to the rich man of the Song Dynasty and said: "Father, as the saying goes: if you have no hair on your mouth, you can't do things well. Is he so young and reliable?' As if he had been greatly insulted, the rich man of Song said, 'Daughter, you can not believe him, but you can't help but believe me!' Then Mrs. Zhixian said, 'Well, father, let your young butler do the math and see where the two horses are hidden!'
Zhang Xiuxiu, who had been listening carefully, couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Let's see how the two dogs are 'coincidental' this time." ”
Yan Yan continued: "Ergouzi was called by the rich man Song to the front of the county magistrate, and when he understood the cause and effect, he couldn't help but be scared to death! However, on the surface, the second dog was calm and calm, and said to the rich man of Song: 'The owner, it's just a trivial matter!' When the rich man Song heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and smiled at Mrs. Zhixian: "Daughter, have you seen it? If those fortune tellers who have no ability heard this, they would have been so frightened that they would have peed their pants!" Although Ergouzi was not so frightened that he peed his pants, he was also frightened into a cold sweat, and he pretended to be calm and said to the rich man of Song: 'Boss, as usual, when I communicate with the old gods in the sky, I must not be disturbed! Otherwise, it will not work, and I will become a waste from now on! The rich man of Song waved his hand and said: "Ergouzi, you can rest assured, during the communication between you and the old gods in the sky, if anyone dares to go out of the house without permission, I will break their legs!" So, the two dogs entered the quiet room, and the doors and windows were closed tightly. The second dog put on new clothes, lit incense, and said something in his mouth, looking like he was in trouble. In the courtyard, all the people stayed in the house, not daring to come out, for fear of disturbing the fortune-telling of the 'Ergouzi Master'. In the middle of the night, Ergouzi quietly opened the door, entered the yard, moved the ladder to the wall, he stepped on the ladder and went up the wall, and his body gently landed on the previous haystack, and then jumped off the haystack, and ran away desperately.
"I ran out of twenty miles in one go, and there was already a forest in front of me, and the second dog was tired, so he lay down in the woods, wanting to rest. After a while, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and only one voice said, 'Haha, let's hide the county lord's two thousand-mile horses here, it's really foolproof!' Another voice said: 'Now, there are people and horses of the county magistrate on all major roads and intersections. If we rush on the road with a thousand horses, we will definitely hit the muzzle of the gun! At this time, the limelight has passed, and the county magistrate has withdrawn the men and horses from the main roads and intersections, and we will transport two more horses out.'"
When the second dog heard this, he was overjoyed, and he cautiously walked out of the woods, tiptoed backwards for a mile, and then let go of his footsteps and ran back. Returning to the haystack outside the wall, Ergouzi quietly went up to the haystack, climbed from the haystack to the courtyard wall of the rich man Song, followed the ladder on the inner wall, and came down quietly, and then moved the ladder away, and then quietly returned to the quiet room. After regaining his calm a little, Ergouzi came out of the house and shouted, "Dongjia, I have calculated it!" The second dog said in a matter-of-fact manner: "According to the old fairy in the sky, there is a forest about twenty miles south from here, and the two horses are hidden there!" However, I am not sure, who knows if there is a forest about twenty miles to the south, and there is a ...... of the forest. Mrs. Zhixian returned to the county government and told the county magistrate that at this time, the county magistrate sent troops to surround the forest that Er Gouzi said with the mood of 'a dead horse as a live horse doctor'. The results can be imagined: The two horses have been found, and the two thieves who stole the horses have also been caught! Things have come to this point, even if the second dog wants to live a peaceful life, he can't! The county magistrate directly sent a message and asked the second dog to go to work at the county office. In this way, Ergouzi has changed from a cattle herding baby to a 'civil servant'. ”
Since "civil servant" is a proper noun on the earth, Zhang Xiuxiu naturally doesn't understand, but she didn't ask, with her cleverness, guessing that the meaning of "civil servant" should be similar to "clerk".
Zhang Xiuxiu sighed lightly: "It seems that this second dog really has a lot of 'coincidences'." Will there be any more?"
Yan Yan smiled and said, "As long as you listen patiently, there will be." ”
Zhang Xiuxiu said: "As I said, the last thing I lack is patience. ”
Yan Yan said: "Very good, then, you can listen to it." ”
Zhang Xiuxiu couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly thought: "Is this how 'listening to your ears' is used?"
Yan Yan continued: "Let's say that the county prince personally took two thousand-mile horses into Beijing to congratulate the emperor on his birthday." The emperor was very happy when he saw the thousands of horses offered by the county magistrate, and regarded the county magistrate as a loyal minister, not only promoted the official of the county magistrate, but also gave a banquet in the court. For the courtiers, it is a great grace! The county magistrate was grateful, deeply felt the emperor's grace, and shouted long live. At the banquet, the emperor suddenly let out a long sigh. The county magistrate boldly said: 'I don't know what sorrows my emperor has? The emperor thought about it again and again, and told the truth: 'Aiqing, I can't hide it, my jade seal has been lost for three months! For this reason, I am very worried! Without the jade seal, I can only give an edict and cannot issue a holy decree! If this goes on for a long time, it will threaten the community'! When the county magistrate heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. You must know that it is very rude for a courtier to laugh in front of the emperor, and the emperor's face turned cold. The county magistrate suddenly woke up to his gaffe, and hurriedly admitted his mistake to the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, Weichen laughed because this incident was a trivial matter! Subsequently, the county magistrate calculated the whereabouts of the old sow, the whereabouts of the gold, silver and jewelry, and the whereabouts of the horses, and said it again. Under the description of the county magistrate, the second dog has simply become the reincarnation of a fairy! When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately said: "Aiqing, you go back now, and I will send two eunuchs to follow you." After you go back, let the second dog follow the two eunuchs into Beijing, and when the time comes, if the second dog calculates the whereabouts of the jade seal, I will definitely make you an official and a knight'! The county magistrate immediately said: 'Wei Chen is dedicated to doing things for the emperor, is it for the title?' The emperor is even more happy!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiuxiu's eyes couldn't help but widen, and said, "Let's see how the second dog is 'coincidental' this time!"
Yan Yan said: "The county master and the two eunuchs who accompanied him left the capital and returned to the county office, and immediately summoned the two dogs and told them the cause and effect. When Ergouzi heard this, he was so frightened that he almost fainted! God is pitiful, he Ergouzi has no ability at all, how can he know where the jade seal is hidden? However, Ergouzi is a bold man, and on the surface he has nothing to do, but he pats his heart and says: "As a grass people, if you can serve the emperor, that is the accumulation of virtue by your ancestors"! Although Ergouzi said this, he made up his mind: On the road to the capital, he tried his best to escape!
So, the two dogs followed the two eunuchs on the road. What made Ergouzi distressed was that along the way, two eunuchs took turns to take care of him, and he had no chance to escape at all! Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the capital, Ergouzi's heart became more and more desperate.
"Suddenly, one day, a eunuch raised his eyebrows coldly at the second gouzi and said, 'My father-in-law sees that you are a pustule!
"The second dog was forced to have no choice, so he casually said: 'What are you asking? Anyway, it's either Zhang San or Li Si'!
"What Ergouzi never expected was that as soon as he said this, the two eunuchs knelt down directly for him! One eunuch cried and cried and said: 'Immortals, I can't hide it, my name is Zhang San, his name is Li Si, and the emperor's jade seal was stolen by the two of us! Please don't tell the truth in front of the emperor! Otherwise, we will be punished by the Nine Clans!
"Ergouzi was really overjoyed, he was a very decisive person, and immediately said: 'Actually, I have already calculated the whereabouts of the jade seal, now, let's see if you two are honest! If you two are honest, I will not tell you two in front of the emperor. If you two are dishonest, hmph, no one can save you both!
"Zhang San and Li Si have reached this point, and they have long regarded the two dogs as immortals, so they poured beans into the bamboo tube, and all the tricks: the jade seal is in a dry well in the palace. And the direction was also said. ”
