The window contains powder, don't frighten the magpie.

The sun shone through the window lattice, shining on a chubby round face, and the sun was red, but he didn't care.

The courtyard is full of flowers and brocade trees, and exotic flowers and plants abound, but the spring color of this courtyard can't attract this fat man at all.

At this time, he was holding a book in his little chubby hands, and he was reading it with relish.

He was completely captivated by the booklet.

His little mung bean eyes couldn't take them off the book at all, and he let out two strange laughs from time to time.

The laughter was full of obscenity, and the cat that was sleeping peacefully on the desk jumped away at once.

Meow ......

"Go, go, go!" The fat man kicked the big cat away, "Don't disturb Lao Tzu to read!" ”

The cat was kicked far away by the fat man, and he was unwilling to leave.

He was finally able to read the book with peace of mind.

The content of the book is too refined and illustrated, and the women in the paintings are coquettish and untidy, often flirting with men by a rockery.

The women are all charming, their eyes are like silk, and they want to refuse and welcome, but the men's expressions are like a hundred claws scratching their hearts, unbearable loneliness, and they can't stop.

If you can't stop, it's not just the people in the book.

The dialogue is neatly written, fits the illustrations, and is described meticulously, putting this fat man completely in the book.

He wished that he would become the male protagonist in the book in seconds in the next moment, if it was him, how could he make these women so sullen.

The more he looked, the more he couldn't bear it, and the more he looked, the more he wanted to know what was written on the next page and what he was drawing.

Just as he was fascinated by it, suddenly his hand was empty, and the book was taken away.

"You're ......"

He was about to open his mouth to curse, but he was just halfway out of his mouth, but he quickly swallowed it, and immediately stood up timidly,

"Second master, you, why are you here?"

The person who came was the second son of this house, Shen Canglang.

He picked up the book and flipped through it back and forth, with a look of mockery, a hint of evil, and more of an appreciative smile on his face.

Eventually, he closed the booklet and looked at each other with a look of amazement, as if it were the first time he had seen the fat man.

The fat man was already blushing and his neck was thick at this time, and he hurriedly explained: "Second master, I, I'm learning how good others are to draw, do you see how good others are at painting......"

"Drawing, learning to draw?"

Shen Canglang picked up this little book and knocked on the fat man's head, while laughing and scolding, "I think you want to learn from the people in the painting!" ”

The fat man hurriedly parried and said: "Second master, second master, all learn, all learn!"

"Full House!"

The three words on the cover completely attracted him.

The handwriting is as graceful as ever.

He loved these three words to death, it was extremely elegant thin gold, remarkable and beautiful, and he couldn't help but praise, "Vertical like a crane's legs, iron painting silver hook, sharp edge, good!" ”

Obviously, the fat man was at a loss.

"Second master, what crane, what silver?"

Shen Canglang tilted his head and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I said, you don't understand!"

The fat man smiled awkwardly, rubbed the fat hand, and his eyes still did not leave the book, obviously, extremely reluctant.

When Shen Canglang saw him there, he smiled helplessly, tore off the cover of the book, threw the book back to him, and asked, "What kind of person is the person who sold this book?"

When a person tastes words, he sees words as he sees others, and he becomes more and more interested in that person.

He thought to himself, what kind of person is this guy?

The fat man held the small book in both hands, smiled, and replied: "Back to the second master, this guy is a sissy, he is white and tender, but he is a greedy and stingy scholar!"

This answer surprised him a little.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Second master, he's very stingy, he's still a sissy!"

Seeing that he showed a look of great interest, the fat man added again with a disgusted expression, "Second master, I heard from the people in the academy that he earned at least a hundred taels of silver from those scholars!" ”

"One hundred taels?" Shen Canglang was a little amazed, this guy actually made so much money by selling books.

"Yes, but the torn robe on his body has been mended and mended, and he eats very poorly, every day the black nest head, radish and pickles, do not change, and he can really swallow it!"

When Shen Canglang heard such an answer, he was even more confused.

couldn't help muttering: "One hundred taels of silver, you can buy a good three-entry mansion, why did all his money go?"

The fat man was also puzzled when he heard his master ask this.

"This, the villain really doesn't know, but, I heard that he has a seriously ill mother and a younger brother, but no one knows the specific situation, and he never talks about it!"

"Oh, so mysterious?" Shen Canglang heard this and thought thoughtfully, "What about this sissy?" ”

"Oh, second master, haven't you seen it with your own eyes, that person is white and tender, with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, and he looks like a woman!"

Shen Canglang became more and more interested in this guy, and looked at the handwriting on the cover, feeling strange in his heart.

To be able to write such a proud handwriting, shouldn't he be a stubborn and arrogant scholar?

"Second master, second master!"

The fat man saw him in a daze, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly woke him up from his stunned state.

Shen Canglang thought for a while, thought about it, and said to the fat man, "The next time he sells books again, call me!" ”

The fat man was very excited when he heard this, "Second master, do you still buy it?" ”

"Buy, no matter how many, buy it all, and the silver is on the counter, just say that I use it, especially with this font!"

The fat man agreed again and again, and his heart was already as happy as eating honey, and the fat face was grinning, and he almost flowed out.

Shen Canglang really couldn't think of someone who could write such a good thin gold body, but he had such a bad chance.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

But when he looked at the fat man's expression, he knew that he was thinking about the affairs of the person in the painting, and he was busy flicking the fat man's head, so that the latter hid.

"Second master, second master, be merciful!"

He picked up the little book in one hand and roughly flipped through it, "No wonder you are so fascinated, this guy does have two brushes, first of all, this white drawing is enough to enter the room." ”

"Second master, you haven't seen his hairpin flower Xiaokai, and his writing is even more unique, and those scholars have asked him to help them copy some strategies and essences!"

Shen Canglang was a little surprised when he heard him say this: "He even earns this money, how short of money is he?"

"Who's to say it isn't? He's a stingy man! ”

The fat man continued, his eyes full of disdain.

And Shen Canglang became more and more interested in this person.

He couldn't figure out what kind of person this guy should be?

The fat man was talking about it, and added again: "Second master, don't you know, he is very difficult to get along with, and he is never willing to let others get close to him, as if he has thorns on his body."

"Really? Listening to you say that, I became more and more interested in this person! ”

Shen Canglang paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself, "Sooner or later, I will have to go to Fenglong Academy to meet this benevolent brother in person." ”

"Ouch, second master, his person has a stinky temper, don't provoke him."

The fat man was afraid that his second master would suffer a loss, so he was busy dissuading him.

But what he didn't expect was that because he said this, it piqued his interest.

In the depths of his heart, he wants to meet more and more, this scholar who is excellent in calligraphy and painting.

"Listening to you say this, I am more and more interested in this person, Wang Guanshi, I will really tell you one thing, all people who have ability, talented people, are a little temperamental, that is not strange."

The fat man couldn't help but regret it a little.

He didn't understand, why the more he talked about it, the more interested his second master would be in this person?

At this moment, there was a noise in the front yard, and he sent the fat man to inspect it, but he did not want to bump into the man who had come to pay attention.

knocked the fat man's nose red and swollen, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you doing in such a hurry!"

The guy's face was full of panic, and he was busy making amends, "Steward Wang, isn't it reckless that the little one is reckless, isn't this something urgent!" ”

He knew this guy, who had always been the oldest and most stable person on the counter, and now he was so anxious that he was a little surprised, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Something happened on the cabinet that made you so alarmed! ”

"Second master, there is a pair of mother and daughter on the counter, look at the dress, it is very shabby, but the medicine to be caught is very expensive, and I took out ten taels of silver at once!"

When Shen Canglang heard this, he was also suspicious in his heart, and asked again: "Is there a way?"

The guy hurriedly presented the recipe and continued: "The big shopkeeper asked me to ask you, do you want to report to the official?"

"Reporter?"

He didn't understand why the money shopkeeper did this, so he couldn't help but ask.

The guy hurriedly added: "The big money shopkeeper said, recently the government is looking around for the thief who stole the silver, this silver is not from an unknown source, if it is related to the stolen silver, and the business is small, don't affect the official reputation of the master!"

He didn't expect this, and he was secretly ashamed, so he took this matter seriously, and when he unfolded the prescription, he became even more suspicious.

This is a cure for tuberculosis and coughing up blood, and most of the people who get this disease are poor people who have been tired for many years and have not eaten enough.

But it is also a disease that the poor cannot cure.

This disease is the most difficult to deal with, and it is extremely difficult to remove the roots, but the medicinal materials required are not affordable for ordinary poor people.

If the poor suffer from this disease, they often have to wait for death.

But that's it, he was shocked by the fact that there were so many flavors on this prescription, which were ginseng, astragalus, cordyceps, clams, and yams.

In addition to yam and astragalus, the rest of the three flavors are extremely expensive, especially this cordyceps, which is also indicated to be the origin of Tibet, and this flavor medicine alone accounts for a large piece of silver.

Of course, for the treatment of lung diseases, Cordyceps sinensis is the first choice, but this Cordyceps sinensis is unbearable even if it is a large household, and it is generally replaced by forsythia, of course, the effect of this medicine is very different.

But this is not something that the poor can afford.

Thinking of this, he finally understood that the suspicion of the shopkeeper was not unreasonable, and hurriedly ordered: "In this way, you go back and quietly tell the counter, keep the people first, and I will come later!"
