81, painting hall spring

Zhou Tao led the way, Miao Fan followed, and the two came to an inconspicuous mansion, which looked like an ordinary family's residence from the outside. Dismounted at the door, Zhou Tao tied the reins to the trunk of the tree, and then walked in with ease.

Miao Fan hesitated slightly, and rode on the horse without moving, but saw Zhou Tao turn around with a straight face: "Hurry up." ”

Not only did he not look lovely, but he seemed to be a little impatient.

So Miao Fan also dismounted.

Straight through the inconspicuous vestibule, a huge rockery blocked the way, Zhou Tao bypassed the rockery, and beckoned again: "Come and see." ”

When the scenery behind the mountain appeared in front of Miao Fan, he only felt like a mirror in the Fallen Immortal Palace.

Fangchun is a paradise, and the painting hall is splendid. Hundreds of flowers and trees are planted in the garden as far as the eye can see, and now it is spring when the flowers are in full bloom. Especially in the middle of the painting hall, the three sides in front of the hall are all with flowers and stones as the platform, three layers of shelves, each plant famous products: a layer of Yao Huang Wei Zi, two layers of hibiscus jade embroidery, three layers of Buddha Sang Zhao Palace.

Not to mention the camellia and begonias in the fence around the painting hall, as well as the forest peach apricot and so on. These flowers and trees may have seen their names in the book, but they have never seen them with their own eyes.

Just when he was stunned, Zhou Tao had already taken the scissors out of the painting hall, cut them down with a "click" at a camellia, and said with a straight face: "This is called Tongzi noodles." ”

The palm of his hand was slightly heavy, Zhou Tao had already thrown the flower over, Miao Fan hurriedly caught it, and lowered his eyebrows to see that the flower was white and red, like a child's pure and flushed face, and it really could afford such a flower name.

"The beauty first fell asleep, smiling through the window screen." Miao Fan asked the flower, "Is this the flower that the verse says?" ”

Zhou Tao tried his best to ignore his extremely beautiful style of "smiling with flowers", and turned his face away and hummed lightly: "Yes." ”

This boy noodle is from a six-hundred-year-old camellia tree to cut off the branches to insert live, transplanted to the Beijing master carefully cultivated for five years, only to bloom such a flower this spring, Zhou Tao actually cut off a scissors and gave it to Miao Fan, if Zhou Xiangzhi said, he had to be so angry that he vomited blood.

In fact, Zhou Tao also had some flesh pain, but compared to Miao Fan's "dislike" for him, he felt more aggrieved and heartbroken. So he took the scissors and cut them wildly, even the eighteen bachelors did not let go.

Miao Fan recognized the eighteen bachelors, and knew that this was a treasure among the camellias, and seeing Zhou Tao such a "violent thing", he hurriedly stopped him: "Enough, don't cut it!" ”

Zhou Tao's expression was puffed up: "I don't cut it, what do you take back to pay the errand?" I'm helping you like this, why don't you appreciate it?! You don't know what to do! ”

He felt that all his true feelings had been wasted, he had helped Miao Fan so much, but others didn't remember him a little bit good, and even regarded him as a beast...... Zhou Tao blindly thought that Miao Fan had failed him, but he never thought that there was actually someone else who conspired with him at the beginning!

Miao Fan couldn't understand his logic at all, let alone what he thought, and just said: "Zhou Gongzi helped me righteously, I am very grateful, I understand your kindness, but I will not accept it." ”

"Why don't you accept it?"

Zhou Tao's eyes were red, he raised his eyes and stared at him fiercely, biting his lip as if he wanted to cry: "I, I just want to be nice to you...... If you like someone, you have to be good to him, what's wrong with me! ”

His words can be regarded as a confession, Miao Fan was not too surprised when he heard it, he shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with you, it's just that I can't accept it." ”

Zhou Tao actually expected that this confession would be rejected, but now he can't regret it, he sniffed, turned his face awkwardly to the side, and snorted coldly: "I thought you were different from others, but it turned out to be this virtue, and I know that I am ...... You must think I'm ridiculous and disgusting, don't you? ”

Some things will never be accepted by the world, so Zhou Xiaogongzi's "romantic affair" will only be a joke after dinner, and he will be ridiculed and despised. Zhou Tao actually knows it.

Miao Fan was silent before he spoke: "I already have a lady, so I can't accept anyone's overtures, not just for you, but for anyone, no matter men or women." ”

Zhou Tao didn't believe it, and rubbed his eyes: "It's high-sounding, since ancient times, Longyang's broken sleeves have been shameful to the world, I know that you people are full of courtesy, righteousness and shame, you claim to be a gentleman and holy, and you are dirty when you talk to people like me, and you will only avoid me like the plague...... Shen Huaiyi is like this, you are also like this, hum! ”

Miao Fan thought about it seriously and felt that he was indeed deliberately avoiding Zhou Tao, but the reason was not what he said. He explained: "I really don't want to be too close to you, but it's not for the reasons you say. I don't mean to look down on you, and I don't think your difference is a sin. ”

Zhou Tao raised his complaining eyes: "Then what is your reason?" ”

Miao Fan smiled slightly: "It's a little ridiculous to say, at first I hated you because you embarrassed my lady in court, and then I hated you because of jealousy and suspicion." ”

"You're jealous of me?" Zhou Tao suspected that he had misheard.

Miao Fan nodded: "I thought the lady had something to do with you...... Fortunately, the lady explained everything to me later, and this misunderstanding was resolved. Now that I know the ins and outs of the supplement, it was your help that gave me this opportunity, and I should still thank you. ”

Zhou Tao waved his hand magnificently: "You're welcome." You're really not because I'm ...... And hate me? "He was a little incredulous, and a little delighted.

"No, it won't." Miao Fan glanced at him, just resolved his depression and poured a bucket of cold water on his head, "But it's impossible to like it." ”

Zhou Tao was angry and thumped the ground: "I know that you still look down on me and dislike me!" ”

Miao Fan looked sideways, with a puzzled expression of "I really don't understand how you came to this conclusion", and asked rhetorically: "This is your business, it has nothing to do with me, why should I dislike you because of this matter?" ”

"But, but ......" Zhou Tao was stumped by this question, and was stunned for a long time before saying, "But what I like is you, why has nothing to do with you?" ”

Miao Fan had a faint face and said: "The Sutra of Amitayus has clouds, people are in love, they are alone, they are born and die alone, they are bitter and happy, and there is no generation." Zhou Gongzi, your joys, sorrows, and sorrows are just your own business, I don't need to care, let alone be obsessed. ”

Zhou Tao felt very reasonable at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it didn't make sense, so he chased after him and asked, "Then who you like is none of your family's business?" ”

"I only like girls." Miao Fan said with a smile: "And as long as I love her so much all the time." ”

Zhou Tao instantly felt that his "love" was too petty, and it was not as good as the great love of Miao Fan and did not ask for anything in return, and the realm of the two was simply 108,000 miles apart.

He dusted off his robe in frustration, wiped his face with his sleeve, and sighed: "Although you don't like me, I don't like to be mistaken either, you are different from them." Zhou Tao is a child's temper, he comes and goes quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he is no longer the same as a troublemaker, he pointed to the flowers in the garden and asked Miao Fan, "Why don't you pick them all back." ”

How do you know that Miao Fan refused to hurt these plants and trees again, which made Zhou Tao anxious: "Oh, I don't feel distressed, what are you still distressed about!" I said pick it, otherwise it won't look good if you go back empty-handed! ”

"It's okay, I have my own way." Miao Fan rolled up his sleeves and asked Zhou Tao for help, "Do you have paper and pen here?" ”

By the time the two of them returned to the banquet with a thick stack of drawing paper, a stick of incense had just burned out. Zhan Liantai looked at Miao Fan and raised his eyebrows: "Returning empty-handed? ”

Miao Fan saluted him, and then distributed the paintings with Zhou Tao, one for each one.

When the scholars got the painting, they observed and compared it, and found that the flowers on the painting were not the same except for lifelike, and the ink was fresh and could be seen to be freshly painted, and everyone couldn't help but be amazed.

Zhan Liantai also got one, and the painting was the eighteenth bachelor.

Zhou Tao said good things for Miao Fan: "Mr. is a well-educated person, and Tan Gongzi said that this painting is the most suitable for you." ”

Zhan Liantaiyun glanced lightly at Miao Fan, who was sweating on the tip of his eyes and nose, quietly handed the painting to Ruan Qi, and said lightly: "Barely passed." ”

After the flower exploration banquet ended, Miao Fan was about to go home, and Zhou Tao chased after him again.

"Wait!"

After talking about it, the two of them were not so embarrassed, but Miao Fan was still lukewarm to him: "Something?" ”

"I just want to ask," Zhou Tao scratched his head a little embarrassed, "If you don't marry a wife and don't meet her, then do I have a chance to ......?"

Miao Fan was a little helpless, and quickly interrupted: "But I have already married a wife, and I met my wife a long time ago, earlier than I met you." ”

He felt that he had to add one more reason for not contacting Zhou Tao now - too pestering.

"Oh......" Zhou Tao was used to being hit, and did not show a very disappointed look, and suddenly said: "I want to worship you as a teacher!" ”

“…… Well? ”

Zhou Tao was very resolute: "Buddhism is boundless and Zen is exquisite, I want to learn Buddhism from you." Without saying anything, he knelt down and grabbed Miao Fan's robe, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" ”

Miao Fan: "......"

This Miao Fan was entangled by Zhou Tao and did not get out for a while, but Zhan Liantai left first and met Qianqian by the Mandarin Duck Bridge.

Kong Xiang has everything in place, and now he only owes the east wind.

Qianqian held a Nanmu box with both hands, which looked like an old object. When Zhan Liantai approached, he caught a glimpse of a lock on the box, and the lock pattern was not Tilian's. He remained silent, as if unintentionally, and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

"I just took it out of the bank, the old things that my family used to store are worthless." Qianqian's words have always been half-truths and half-truths, and Zhan Liantai knew that she didn't want to reveal it, so she didn't ask, but said, "Tomorrow, you will have someone send another letter to the Confucian Mansion, and the last one will be the last." ”

The box was not as heavy as expected, and it was not very heavy. While guessing what her sister had put in the box, Qianqian replied absentmindedly, "Okay, what is written on the letter?" ”

"You copy these." Zhan Liantai took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Qianqian. Qianqian was inconvenient holding the box, and she didn't think much about it, and only after putting the box down did she reach out to pick it up, but she didn't know that at such an instant, the box had fallen into Zhan Liantai's hands.

I saw him gently caressing the surface of the box, with a low brow and a melancholy expression.

"Come back!"

She reached out to grab it, but he dodged it, he raised his eyes and didn't smile: "When the matter is done, the things will be returned to you." Until then, I'll keep it for you. ”

Qianqian naturally didn't follow it, and blindly wanted to snatch it back, but after all, she was defeated by Zhan Liantai's height and long legs, coupled with Ruan Qi's and other roles, she could only return with a feather in the end.

She stomped her feet angrily: "You are insidious, cunning, despicable, and shameless!" ”

Zhan Lian's countertop did not change color: "False praise." ”

……

How could there be such a cheeky person!

Qianqian grabbed the note in a huff, turned his head and strode away.

Ruan Qi looked at her and made sure that she would not come back to make trouble, so he turned back to look at Zhan Liantai: "My lord, what important things are in this box?" ”

Zhan Liantai glanced at him and said jokingly: "When did you become inquisitive?" ”

Ruan Qi was stunned, and when he lowered his head, Zhan Liantai spoke again, sighing and feeling lonely: "Heart." ”

"What?" Ruan Qi looked like he didn't understand.

Zhan Liantai didn't explain much, and took steps with the wooden box in his arms, still elegant.

A heart full of holes and dust, has been dead for many years.
