Chapter 19: Selling Paintings
The four walls of the lobby on the first floor of the Zhenqu Pavilion are full of calligraphy and paintings, and the Duobao Pavilion on the wall is full of all kinds of jade, porcelain, coral, and ivory carvings, and the variety of goods is dizzying. In the midst of these treasures www.biquge.info Xia Shuanghan was standing on the inside of the lobby, looking up at two paintings hanging side by side.
It only took one glance to see why Zhuo Feifei was reluctant to tell him the content of the painting, rather than asking him to see it himself.
The title of the painting is "A Little Red in the Ten Thousand Green Bushes", which Lu Shaoyun already knows, but what he doesn't know is why Xia Shuanghan and Liu Zirun can draw such affectionate paintings based on this title? !
The two paintings hanging side by side, the one on the right is painted by Liu Zirun, the painting shows a girl in a green dress and a green skirt, standing on the second floor of the bamboo building by the carved railing, the girl's face is shy and timid, and the moist red lips are the only touch of red on the painting. The painting on the left of this painting is from the hand of Xia Shuanghan, the painting is a man in a green robe and green belt, standing in the bamboo forest, the man is holding a jade flute, raising his head to play, and the concentric knot made of a red thread hanging at the end of the jade flute stings Lu Shaoyun's eyes.
Is this a picture of two people painted separately? This should have been drawn by one person! In the bamboo forest, on the bamboo floor, Lang Qing and concubine meet under the moon, Lu Shaoyun looked at the lingering feelings in the eyes of the people in the painting, and the warm smile on the corners of his eyebrows and mouth, he could almost imagine the lingering and sympathetic music played by the man.
Although I have known for a long time that you are sincerely interested in Liu Zirun, I am still a little sad. Xia Shuanghan, can you not face these two paintings with such a happy but melancholy smile? It makes me jealous.
"Miss Xia, is this looking at the painting and thinking about people?"
Xia Shuanghan never thought that when she was thinking back on her previous life, she would see the person she was thinking about by her side. Xia Shuanghan, who turned around when he heard this, was confused the moment he saw Lu Shaoyun, and for a moment he even couldn't figure out whether he was in his past life or this life. If it was a previous life, then she didn't have to think about people, because the people she was thinking about were already close at hand. It's a pity that she is living this life.
"Since you can't stay with it, thinking about people is also in vain, it's just torturing yourself." Yes, since she has decided not to marry Lu Shaoyun in this life, it is better for her to forget about the things in her previous life as soon as possible.
It's just that these words have a different meaning to Lu Shaoyun's ears. Is this lamenting that you have no fate with Liu Zirun?
"Is Mr. Lu here to buy paintings?" Xia Shuanghan adjusted his mood and tried his best to be neither close nor alienated from Lu Shaoyun.
"Calligraphy and painting, in fact, I don't know much about it, I just come in and take a look."
"Brother Tingxuan!" Xia Chaoyang, who came in from outside the store, interrupted the conversation between Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun, he ran to the two of them in a few steps, looked up with a grin, and said, "Brother Tingxuan, why are you here, are you also here today?" ”
"Yes, my brother is on vacation today." Lu Shaoyun squatted down as he spoke, looked at Xia Chaoyang and said, "How are Chaoyang doing these days, do you miss your brother?" ”
"Thought!" Xia Chaoyang responded: "The first two **** also dreamed of what Brother Tingxuan looked like when he returned to Beijing last year!" Brother Tingxuan was dressed in silver armor and majestic at the time, and me, as well as my sister, we all went to the city gate to see at that time. ”
"Oh, did Chaoyang go to see his brother at that time?" Lu Shaoyun was very pleased with this unexpected information, he smiled and touched the top of Xia Chaoyang's hair and said, "Did my sister take you to see it?" ”
"Yes, my sister said that Brother Tingxuan and the soldiers at the border pass together leveled the royal tent of the Mobei people who drank blood outside Tongcheng Pass, ensuring the smooth flow of the Silk Road, and in the future, the merchants who traveled between the two ends of the Silk Road no longer had to worry about being attacked and robbed at night, and they could finally sleep peacefully. My sister said that Brother Tingxuan is a true hero who protects his family and defends the country! He is a man worthy of my admiration! ”
"Yes, to hear Chaoyang say this, Brother Tingxuan is so happy in his heart!" If Xia Chaoyang's words just now only played a comforting role, then this time, Lu Shaoyun was really cured. "In order to reward Chaoyang, how about my brother let you ride a war horse that has been on the battlefield with my brother?"
"Good! Good! Good! As soon as he heard that he could ride a war horse, Xia Chaoyang was instantly so happy that he danced. There is no way, the Rong people love horses, this is a nature that cannot be erased in the blood.
"Who are you?" Chen Jingwei, who had not spoken since following Xia Chaoyang into the store, finally couldn't hold back and said: "Why are you like this, you want to snatch our little friends as soon as you come?" Adults play with adults, children play with children, do you know the rules! If you want someone to play with, you just take Sister Frost away! ”
"......" Xia Shuanghan was speechless, Boss Chen, you want to defend your deceased wife, so there are no other women in the family except for a few elderly mothers, I can understand it, but you don't teach your two sons what is the difference between men and women, but it's not right!
"That's it, Sister Shuanghan packed it up and sent it to you, but you have to leave the morning sun for us." Chen Jinglun echoed: "We haven't had anyone to play with for a month, how can we let Chaoyang go so easily?" ”
"Why do you two want someone to play with? You two are just playing with me! Xia Chaoyang glared at the twins angrily, turned back to Lu Shaoyun and said: "Brother Tingxuan, don't listen to them, you can take me out of the encirclement and ride a horse now, Grandpa Lu said that you are a sweaty BMW, I have never touched a sweaty BMW, let alone ride, you take me quickly, take me quickly!" ”
"Okay." Although Lu Shaoyun was more interested in the twins' mouths of "pack and take away Xia Shuanghan", he finally picked up Xia Chaoyang and jumped out of the True Fun Pavilion on tiptoe. Didn't Zhuo Feifei say that Xia Shuanghan hurts his younger brother, so I believe that as long as he has a good relationship with Xia Chaoyang, there will always be something to gain on the road of overcoming Xia Shuanghan.
"It's going to be amazing, isn't it?"
"Xia Chaoyang, look at how we clean you up when you come back!"
Seeing a pair of twins waving their little fists and scolding in front of him, Xia Shuanghan felt very relieved. After the death of his younger brother in his previous life, the friendship of the Chen brothers every year has not forgotten the friendship of the incense sticks in the Qingming Dynasty.
"At the end of the month, I'll tie you up early in the morning, right?" Xia Shuanghan bent down, patted the two brothers' little shoulders comfortingly, and after receiving a "Hey, not rare" from the two sides of the white eyes, Xia Shuanghan nodded with satisfaction and went out. Well, twins mean agreed, just agree.
Out of the True Fun Pavilion, the guys in the store automatically brought the snow for Xia Shuanghan. Xia Shuanghan took the reins and looked around the street, and soon found Lu Shaoyun and Xia Chaoyang.
"Brother Tingxuan, is sweating really sweating is bloodshed?" Sitting on the back of Lu Shaoyun's beloved horse "Hurricane", Xia Chaoyang stretched out his little hand, touched it here and there curiously, and asked, "Isn't it going to die if you bleed too much?" Why is it that the sweat and blood BMW are not afraid of bloodshed? ”
"Sweat and blood when a horse sweats is not blood." Lu Shaoyun explained while leading the horse for Xia Chaoyang: "The skin of sweaty horses is relatively thin, and the blood flow speed increases when running, so it is easy to be seen. Moreover, the sweat glands on their shoulders and necks are very developed, and for jujube red or maroon horses, the local color will appear very bright after sweating, giving people the illusion of 'bleeding', so they are called sweat and blood horses. ”
"I see." After solving his doubts, Xia Chaoyang sat up straight with satisfaction, waved his hand to Xia Shuanghan across the street and said, "Sister, Brother Tingxuan said that he was going to the east of the city in a while, and he happened to be on the way with us, can I ride a little longer and then go home with you?" ”
Xia Shuanghan smiled and nodded at Chaoyang, signaling to him, she had heard his words, and then led Taxue to the other side of the street to meet Lu Shaoyun. "Master Lu, if you are pressed for time, go get busy first, don't delay the business for the sake of Chaoyang."
"It's okay, I have a lot of time." Lu Shaoyun proposed: "Miss Xia, let's get on the horse, I'll ride a horse to carry Chaoyang for a while, and then I will be separated from you when I get to the east of the city, do you think this is good?" ”
"This ......" Xia Shuanghan looked at Xia Chaoyang hesitantly, and saw that his younger brother had a look of eagerness on his face, so he had to compromise and said, "Then it will trouble Lu Gongzi." ”
"Miss Xia is polite."
