Lu Tanwei tore off a piece of jade from his waist and handed it to her, Yan Shen took it, Lu Tanwei thought about it, and asked her for it back. Finally, he handed the jade to her again.

Yan Shen didn't answer and asked, "Why are you going back and forth like this?" ”

Lu Tanwei said: "I've been carrying this piece for a long time, and it should be enough for you to sell it to pay off the debt, but I like this jade again, and I don't want it to be sold, so you keep it on you." Later, I will ask the housekeeper to accompany you back to settle the bills. ”

Yan Shen was like a girl who had been walking in the wind and snow for a long time, and her feet were suddenly burned by a hot water kettle, she wanted to speak for a long time, but she didn't say a word.

She put the jade in her arms, turned her back and straightened her expression, and then turned back and said, "Do you want to marry me, a piece of jade is not enough." ”

Lu Tanwei said: "I am not a villain, and I will not take advantage of others." This money is a lifesaver for you, but for me, it's just an account. ”

Yan Shen said: "Then it's okay to make an extra stroke, I still want a fat powder shop." ”

Lu Tan replied slightly: "Whatever you want." ”

Yan Shen said: "I heard that you are not close to women, but now I feel that it is not simple behind this." If you want a woman, it should be easy. ”

Lu Tanwei, like all men in the world, has a peacock-like pride, unwilling to admit that he is a person who is hard to love. But he is not hypocritical, there is no need to pretend to be experienced and taste the appearance of red lips, so he is only silent.

Yan Shen said again: "The eldest husband is frank and open, what dare not be said." It is not a sin to be affectionate or ruthless. ”

Lu Tan replied slightly: "I have only liked one woman. ”

Yan Shen asked, "Oh, what kind of person is she?" ”

Lu Tanwei said: "She is very beautiful, and she is different from others. ”

Yan Shen said: "I heard that the appearance and posture of the young lady of the Huaguo family in the capital can be described as a must, who is more beautiful than her?" ”

Lu Tanwei said: "Hua Chengyan has a skin, and it can't be compared." ”

Yan Shen said: "How come, Miss Hua's virtuousness is known all over the world, doesn't she help the poor every month and go to the temple to pray for blessings?" ”

Lu Tanwei said: "I am a dirty bag behind a big bedbug, and I can win the reputation of being virtuous by desperately pocketing the gold and silver in the world, and casually leaking a little bit or two between my teeth, but in fact, her loss is less than if you pluck a hair from a fox." ”

Yan Shen asked: "Then what kind of woman do you like?" ”

Lu Tanwei said: "Born in the soil, the heart is in heaven, the bones are hard, the thoughts are strange, and the whole body is crystal everywhere. ”

Yan Shen showed envy and said, "Then why didn't you continue?" ”

Lu Tan replied slightly: "If you love someone, do you have to stay together?" ”

Yan Shen said: "No, but most people love others just to love themselves. ”

Lu Tanwei said: "Me too. ”

Yan Shen took a fruit to eat, and said, "You are different." I've seen your paintings, and if you love someone, you'll forget yourself. ”

Lu Tanwei asked, "How do you decide?" ”

Yan Shen said: "In your painting of "Ten Thousand Beasts in the Sixteenth Century", there is a deer at the end of the left, lying on the river and drinking water. ”

Lu Tanwei asked, "So what?" ”

Yan Shen said: "There is a tiger walking to the right on the other side of the painting, and there is a piece of grass on your right that is very soft, and it is obviously sinking compared to others, I guess there is something that can attract tigers." ”

Lu Tan was slightly silent.

Yan Shen said: "If you don't say it, I'll guess a lot." Estimate the direction of your brush, you should be standing on the right side of the drawing. Although I don't know why you weren't eaten by the tiger, I think you deliberately threw a piece of raw meat in the place where you couldn't draw it, and fed it to the tiger. ”

Lu Tanwei asked: "With so many animals in the painting, how can you conclude that I love deer?" ”

Yan Shen replied: "Light is different. The light on the deer's body must be soft when the pen is drawn, so it is soft enough. Now let me ask you, how did you manage to get so close to the tiger and leopard without being eaten. ”

Lu Tanwei said: "It's useless to do anything. They are naturally close to me, and they have been since I was a child. ”

Yan Shen sighed: "You are indeed a child who has been favored by the gods, and you have fulfilled the wishes that almost everyone made when they prayed for blessings in the New Year. But then you don't have to love so much. ”

Lu Tanwei said: "Because I'm not stupid. ”

Yan Shen smiled, slightly sarcastic: "If you don't dare, you don't dare, it's so high-sounding." ”

Lu Tanwei said: "Why don't I dare? I have all the gold and silver, the house, the fame, the talents, the favor, the envy of all. ”

Yan Shen said, "So what? ”

Lu Tan replied: "I am very rich, and I am not afraid of the coming of the storm, because I have a sturdy enough ship full of treasure chests full of all kinds of antiques. ”

Yan Shen said: "You are so naïve. ”

Lu Tanwei said: "You are naïve. ”

Yan Shen said: "Love is not only about wealth, not just about fame and status, just like sailing is not only based on waves and weather, just like the imperial examination is not only based on connections and luck, just like the quilt is not only affordable, just like flower appreciation is not only a group of mouths that can be touted." Love is about giving, devotion, and even sacrifice. It is a big gamble between two people, putting aside the appearance, and still betting on the courage, patience, thoughtfulness, and intelligence of two people. If a person has really tasted love, he will not give up love because of something else, and if he wants to give up, no matter what excuse he says, even if it is depicted as more tragic than a beggar without father and mother, more beautiful than the phoenix crown on the queen's head, more common than the rice eaten every day, and more sensational than the story told by a sacrificial witch. In my opinion, it is all the falling flowers that cannot be stepped on in the mud, the leaky iron net covering the brazier that hides the evil burning, the melon seed shell that cannot be swallowed, and the white silk seed in the peach pit. ”

Lu Tan replied slightly: "What are you going to say?" ”

Yan Shen said: "I just want to tell you, Lu Tanwei, no matter how exquisite your painting skills are, in the matter of love, it is just a blank piece of paper without color." I have fallen in love with someone else, and I don't want to admit that I don't have the character and ability to love someone, so I say that I don't want it, so I go through books all over the world to find excuses for myself to say separation. This is so false. ”

Lu Tanwei said: "She doesn't love me, are you satisfied?" ”

Yan Shen replied: "Have you never loved?" ”

Lu Tanwei said: "Never, even disgusted. ”

Yan Shen replied: "Then you should be happy, this is much better than being abandoned after love." ”

Lu Tanwei said: "But I can't forget her." I miss her when I'm awake, I think about her in my dreams, I think about her when I paint, I miss her when I eat. ”

Yan Shen said: "So what? ”

Lu Tanwei asked: "Have you really loved someone else?" ”

Yan Shen said: "If you love her again, won't you still be alive." Besides, when you meet the next person you love, these things will be like soot, and once you catch a broom, a handful of them will be gone. ”

Lu Tanwei said: "I don't know if I will fall in love with someone else, and if so, when will she come." ”

Yan Shen said: "How can you and I see through fate, you are powerful and powerful, you might as well go to Er Shi and count it." ”

Lu Tanwei said: "I want to like another person, you appeared, are we fated." ”

Yan Shen's heart was smashed with a small ball.

Lu Tanwei said again: "You were abandoned, your family was in the middle of the road, I just appeared, do we have fate?" ”

Yan Shen's heart was smashed again.

Lu Tanwei said: "I didn't like to see women laugh before, but I liked her smiling face. I used to hate women deceiving people with tears, but I don't hate you crying. What is this? ”

Yan Shen's heart must not be smashed again.

Lu Tanwei said: "I am a blank piece of paper, but I look forward to colorful colors. Your name is Yan Shen. Yan Shen, are you my color? ”

Yan Shen remembered that he replied: "I don't like black and gray, in my place, the colors are very bright, don't stand it." ”

Lu Tan smiled and asked, "What is love like?" ”

Yan Shen replied: "Now, I am with you." ”

Lu Tanwei said: "I can't feel it. ”

Yan Shen held his hand and said, "Don't speak, look into my eyes." ”

The moment the time passed, Yan Shen took the initiative to lean over and kiss Lu Tanwei's eyelids.

Lu Tan felt a slight itch and closed his eyes slightly.

Yan Shen told him to remember just now, and then, go to her for tea tomorrow morning.

After Yan Shen left, Lu Tanwei looked at Zhang Sengqiu's painting, on that empty chair, has the woman's appearance changed?

The next day, Lu Tanwei and Yan Shen ate tea and appreciated paintings together.

On the third day, they walked through the most prosperous long street in Nazhou.

On the fourth day, Yan Shen sent Lu Tanwei a piece of yarn.

On the fifth day, in the falling snow, they hugged and kissed.

On the sixth day, Yan Shen began to prepare his luggage, planning to return to Beijing with Lu Tanwei.

On the seventh day, from morning to night, Lu Tanwei never went out of the room, concentrating on making a painting.

In his paintings, the strength of his feet is far stronger than that of people. He had just arrived in Wanzhou, which was adjacent to Nazhou, and the painting had already spread to the capital.

Ah Shu bought a copy of the most positive color from the street and brought it back to the house to show Xiang Ye. Xiang Ye and Dong Di sat together again and ate refreshments, and as soon as the painting was opened, it was astonishingly beautiful.

The woman above is Wen Qingyi.

Xiang Ye looked at the letter that was not sent, and said to Dong Di: "It saves the effort of tired horses, Cai Wei does not need to be called, and he will return in winter." ”
