Within a few days, Gongzi and Hongcui arrived in Beijing under the protection of the four guards. Naturally, Jingshi is different from Jiangning. The small bridge and flowing water in Jiangning are exquisite everywhere, and the Beijing division shows the atmosphere and roughness everywhere. Gongzi and Hongcui and their entourage have lived in Jiangning since they were children, and when they first came to Beijing, they were not very comfortable with the situation in Beijing.

Fortunately, with the assistance of the four guards by his side, Dark Xiang bought a new yard in Huayuanzi Hutong, Daqingmen East Street. It took Drunken Spring and Randie a day and a half to prepare the furniture, and the maids and servants were ready-made, all of which were left by the previous owner. Dark incense only taught a few words, and began to serve the new master.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Gongzi did not alarm Hongcui and Dark Fragrance, and quietly walked out of the alley to appreciate the character style of this prosperous Jingshi. The boy was dressed as usual, wearing a boy's hat, a black and shiny braid at the back of his head, and a blue robe covered with a purple riding coat. It is said that the child's face is white without decoration, and his lips are red without painting, especially a golden lotus on his forehead, which increases a lot. At first glance, he looks like a pretty boy.

Gongzi walked slowly and inadvertently walked into the old alley of Panjiayuan. It is said that this Pan Jiayuan is also well-known in Beijing, and has always been famous for operating antique calligraphy and painting. Childe likes these antiquities a lot, so he has to appreciate them carefully. At this time, Gongzi suddenly saw a picture of the "Spring Dawn of the Han Palace" by Qiu Ying of the former Ming Dynasty. Although Childe knew that this painting was clearly a fake, it was also a bit interesting. Childe holds the painting in his hand. When the seller saw that this noble son was graceful and generous, but there was no one around him, he was not surprised. It is said that the emperor of this dynasty naturally likes micro-service private visits, and the upward and downward effects have become a trend in the capital for a while. Those kings and grandchildren and nobles love to come out and wander around when they have nothing to do, as if they can understand the people's feelings. In fact, the people below also know that most of these noble relatives hope to meet the emperor by coincidence and get close to him.

This seller naturally regarded Gongzi as such a master, and his mouth was chattering but respectful: "My lord, you are so good at eyesight, and I don't dare to take out this kind of painting by ordinary people." Look at the quality of this painting, and there is the seal of Qiu Gongzi underneath.

Childe asked lightly, "How much silver?" ”

The seller approached, and said to the son: "I always ask for 20,000 taels of silver for others, and I see that the son knows the goods, so give 10,000 taels." ”

Childe snorted, secretly thinking, even if the painting is imitated well, it will be a hundred taels of silver at most. What about 10,000 taels? How dare he ask for it.

Seeing that Gongzi hesitated, the seller's confidence was one layer shorter: "Today, I have been busy for a day and the market has not yet opened. So give me five thousand taels of silver, and I will give it to you. ”

Before the son could speak, the seller himself dropped five thousand taels. If Hongcui was here, he would have scolded him with a bloody head. Thinking so, Childe put the painting back again, and the seller was anxious, so he grabbed Childe and said, "I said this master, you have touched it for a long time, and the aura of the painting has been touched by you, how can I sell it?" So, you give me two thousand taels, and I will give you this painting for nothing. ”

It seems that the seller is ready to rely on the son. Although Childe has read thousands of books and is full of economy, he can deal with such a small people in the market, and Childe really can't wipe his face. This kind of person has to deal with people like Red Green and Wild Butterfly. For a moment, Childe was a little confused and didn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing that Childe didn't react, the seller became even more arrogant and simply grabbed Childe's knee. This time, Childe was embarrassed. She was dressed as a man, but she was grabbed by such a man on her knees, what is the matter? Since he was a child, Childe has never been in contact with a man other than the four guards. This time, the son's face was embarrassed, his face was red, and he couldn't leave, nor did he stay.

In the middle of the pushing, there was a shouting voice. From a distance, I saw a rainbow coming from the opposite side, and the front was red, mostly young and handsome women, and in the middle there was a young man riding a tall horse, as if the stars were holding the moon. This young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, elegant and handsome, with a face like a full moon, eyebrows like shooting stars, and a pair of black eyes.

I saw that most of the vassal and elegant literati were avoiding, and only the teenager and the bunch of colorful red women were left in the middle of the crowded streets. The young man was arrogant, and he looked indescribably proud. Childe is in embarrassment, and he just wants to get rid of the seller's entanglement, but he can't care about appreciating the style of the young man.

The condescending young man caught a glimpse of the bustle of Childe's place, grinned and grabbed the reins of the horse and asked, "What are you doing here?" Is it impossible to sell people? I think this little guy looks good, how much are you going to sell it for? ”

This time, Childe was even more anxious, but Childe's introverted personality that he had cultivated over the years didn't say anything. But the seller said aggrievedly: "General, the villain finally got a painting, but this master didn't buy it, but he defiled the villain's painting." How can the villain afford to pay for the things he bought for thousands of silver? The villain doesn't ask for anything else, just ask the master to give the villain capital. But this master, not only did he not buy it, but he beat the villain. You see, you see. As he spoke, he still grabbed Childe tightly with one hand, and rolled up his sleeve with the other hand, revealing old wounds and said, "The villain was almost killed by him." ”

The general grinned again, turned over and dismounted. He carefully examined the wound on the seller's arm, nodded in agreement, and said, "You are right, it is true that you are not lightly injured." ”

The seller's face was overjoyed, and he pleaded, "That's it, I only ask the big to be the little one." ”

The general said lightly: "But looking at the wound, it was at least three years ago, could it be that this son's kung fu is so powerful that he has the ability to heal the wound in an instant?" Come, come, come, I'll see the divine power of this son. ”

The general kicked away the seller's hand that was holding the childe, and the jade hand stretched out and gently grasped the four fingers of the childe. This general only felt that the other party's hand was as soft as boneless, extremely delicate, and there was a slight fragrance on his body, and he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart. At this time, Childe's face turned even redder, and he shook off the young man's hand and was about to walk away.

The general Naken let him go, stopped him and said, "This son, can't you also carry a woman's awakening incense?" Why is it so fragrant? ”

Childe was very angry, but there was no gloom on his face. But the seller caught up with him unflatteringly, and asked his son for two thousand taels of silver. The young man didn't look back, and slapped him with a slap, which was so heavy that he knocked out the seller's two front teeth. The seller spat out a mouthful of blood, and his right cheek swelled.

The young man was still smiling, and said to the four pink girls in front of him, "Since he wants silver, take him to get it." I helped this son pay in advance, two thousand taels of silver, not a penny. ”

The four girls said yes, took the seller and left. Now, the seller didn't want any money, but just screamed for mercy. In the whole alley, no one dared to ask this general for silver, only he came to collect the money, and never took the silver from him. This time, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see the king of Hades.

Originally, Childe didn't want to meddle with their affairs, after all, the seller was not a good person. Seeing the living being beaten into the living dead, the son felt a little uncomfortable. Besides, though the traitor is abominable, but the sin is not unto death, why should he kill more?

Gongzi picked up the fake "Spring Dawn of the Han Palace" from the stall, and took out a silver ticket of 500 taels from his arms, threw it to the seller and said: "I want to paint it, 500 taels of deposit, and you can go to the Huayuanzi Hutong 'Splendid Pavilion' for the rest." ”

Childe didn't thank the young man for his kindness, she secretly thought to herself, I have already bought the painting, and you don't need to pay for the silver, if you know each other, let people go away.

As for the seller, at this time, he only wants a rotten life to live, how dare he expect silver. Not to mention five hundred taels, it's a penny, and he sells it now. But the young man said reluctantly: "This is not good, I said that I will pay in advance, how can there be any reason to go back on my word." This "Spring Dawn in the Han Palace" was given to my son, but the silver was still suitable for me to pay in advance. ”

Childe has never seen such a domineering person, and people say that you don't need to pay in advance, so why do you want to be strong? I buy my paintings, I spend my money, and I have nothing to do with you, and you want to get in the way here?

Seeing that the four girls did not make a move, the young general sank his face and shouted, "What I said, should you fart?" ”

The four girls didn't dare to say anything, and walked away with the seller. After they left, the young man changed his face to a smiling face, and said to the childe: "Since I paid the silver in advance, the right to paint is a small gift to the child, and the prince will accept it with a smile." As he spoke, he approached again, took a closer look at the son, and whispered, "I still want to ask about the awakening incense." Why is Childe so fragrant? ”

Childe felt the hot breath from the boy's mouth spray onto his face, making Childe's face red and his heart beating. Childe stepped back, threw the painting to the seller's stall and said, "You want to buy the painting, but I don't have a reason to accept it in vain." This painting is still placed here, and the object will be returned to its original owner. ”

After saying that, Childe was about to leave. The young man flew in front of Childe early, and he put the painting into Childe's hand and said, "Since I paid the silver in advance, how can I take the painting away." I said that if I give it to Childe, I must give it to Childe. Childe really doesn't want it, you can take it home and throw it in the toilet. ”

Childe didn't expect this young man to be so arrogant and unreasonable, but Childe was new to the city, and he didn't want to cause more trouble. Thinking of this, Childe endured it again, only said thank you, bypassed the boy and left again.

Unexpectedly, the young man crossed in front of Childe again, stopped Childe and said: "Since Childe wants to take away the painting, he has to leave it for the next thing. ”

It turned out that his original intention was this, and Childe was furious. She didn't want any fake paintings, but he insisted on giving them, and he didn't give up after giving them, and he wanted to send them back. This young man is clearly trying to slander things.

Gongzi took out the five hundred taels of silver tickets from his bosom and said, "In this case, it is good for this silver ticket to honor the generals." ”

The young man didn't take the silver ticket, he stretched out his long arm, pulled a jade pendant from the son's waist, looked at it and stuffed it into his arms and said, "This jade pendant is good, I received it below." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the son's consent or not, the young man jumped up, stepped on the tall horse, and left proudly. Childe stood straight in place for a long time without moving, she had never seen such a rude person, but she didn't know who the other party was.

A big-footed woman broke out of the store, dragging a half-grown child in her hand and shouted: "You kid, what are you still doing here, get some silver, go to the 'Da Luo Mansion' to find Luo Ye, your father will be killed." ”

Childe's heart moved, 'Da Luo Mansion'? There is only one 'Da Luo Mansion' in this Jingshi, which is exactly where they will go tomorrow, where lives Luo Qingsong, the opponent of Gongzi. Could it be that the young man just now was Luo Qingsong?
