Chapter 131: Bookworm Wu
Xiao Yizheng frowned and ordered Zhao Xin to go and determine the situation.
Zhao Xin plunged into the crowd and didn't come out for a long time.
Watching the lively people pass by one after another, talking in twos and threes.
"Oh, this beautiful thing sent to the door, there are really people who refuse it. I really don't know whether to say that I am a righteous man or a gentleman, or if I am stupid. ”
"The girl's family is so sincere, you see that son's cynicism, I see, if it doesn't work, it won't work, and it will save you the worry of living a bad life in the future."
"Auntie, don't say it, that son is delicate and delicate, he looks unruly, and he can hurt a woman's heart"
......
Qingxi listened to these discussions, and asked suspiciously, "Is it Mr. Wu that you said?" Bookworm Wu, bookworm Wu, isn't he a book-loving reader? Also, didn't you say he was nearly forty years old? ”
Xiao Yizheng smiled and nodded: "I guess it's him." This person's age doesn't care how much he actually is, but how much others think. ”
He said it very mysteriously, and looking at this mood seemed to be inexplicably cheerful.
After a while, the crowd dispersed. I saw Zhao Xin trotting all the way back, followed by a handsome man who was pure white, holding a folding fan, and had a good demeanor.
He was not in a hurry, shaking the folding fan, smiling step by step.
Qingxi stared at it carefully. As the saying goes: one white covers three ugliness. The same applies to men.
To say that his appearance is really not handsome, but the unusual whiteness of his skin, coupled with this light-hearted and cynical temperament, is worthy of the eight words "delicate and merry" evaluated by passers-by.
Xiao Yizheng's eyes always looked at the oncoming person, but he whispered to Qingxi: "This is the bookworm Wu, how old do you look?" ”
Qingxi laughed and said, "Good looking! ”
This bookworm Wu really doesn't seem to be confused, and he looks a few years older than Xiao Yizheng.
"No wonder you deceived an ignorant girl." Qingxi added.
"Ah Heng, you have to look at the whole picture before you can make a judgment."
While the two were talking, the voice of the bookworm Wu had already sounded heartily: "Hahaha, isn't this the sixth master?" Coincidentally, isn't it! ”
Xiao Yizheng stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wu, don't come unharmed." ”
"Come on, you kid always likes to come to this set of false gifts." Bookworm Wu pointed at him, looked around at everyone again, and said with bright eyes: "Hey, there are more people this time, and the momentum is strong." ”
Xiao Yizheng smiled and made an introduction, and Qingxi and Xiao Yiran also greeted each other.
Bookworm Wu hugged his arms and praised: "The sixth master actually married a wife, it's strange." ”
Qingxi glanced at Xiao Yizheng obliquely, and said in his heart, what kind of reputation have you left on the rivers and lakes, how can these friends hear that you are married.
"Look at it, this brother and sister are beautiful and fragrant, and your brother is also weird, and the first time I saw it, I didn't say anything. Let's go, go back to Changlong Temple, I will have a meal. The bookworm Wu waved his hand, and the posture seemed to invite a delicious meal that was not available in the sky and the earth, and it was full of grandeur.
Moon Shadow and Xiao Shengzi's eyes widened, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
Xiao Yizheng deliberately asked with a little hesitation: "Mr. Wu actually has an affair, why, it's all settled?" ”
He looked left and right again. As they spoke, the people would look at them a few more times and whisper away.
Bookish Wu didn't care, and laughed: "I just had a look with my friends and lost, and I am willing to gamble and lose." ”
Zhao Xin, who had been standing aside, spoke in a low voice at this time, and said seriously: "Sir, the woman said just now, she recognized you, this bet is a bit big." ”
"Little Brother Zhao......" The bookworm Wu Yi closed the folding fan, tapped his arm, and said seriously: "Brother, I will teach you a truth: no matter how big the stakes are, you must not be surprised, this is a matter of integrity." ”
When Xiao Yiran heard this, he tugged Qingxi's arm and asked in a low voice, "Sixth sister-in-law, this is crooked." ”
Bookworm Wu quickly looked at him with a smile, nodded and said, "Not bad, yes, you can teach."
"Xiao Qi, for Mr. Wu, his own words are all right." Xiao Yizheng helplessly explained.
Bookworm Wu Yi grabbed Xiao Yizheng's shoulder: "Confidant and confidant." ”
Zhao Xin's face did not change, and he opened his mouth to add: "Mr. cares about the matter of integrity, but he is different from others, just now he was slapped by a woman in front of everyone, and he can still talk and laugh." ”
Except for Xiao Yizheng, everyone was shocked when they heard it, for fear that the bookworm Wu and Zhao Xin would turn their faces, which obviously sounded sarcastic.
Moon Shadow hurried up and gently touched Zhao Xin, giving him a look.
And the bookworm Wu didn't change his expression, nodded and said: "So, I'm a good gambler, and I deserve that slap." ”
Xiao Yizheng said helplessly: "Zhao Xin, don't fight with Mr. Wu, when can you win?" ”
Zhao Xin sighed and whispered: "Your friends, Mr. Wu can let me quarrel casually." ”
Everyone was in a good mood.
"Let's go, go to Dongshan Changlong Temple." Bookworm Wu raised his fan forward.
Along the way, the bookworm Wu told Xiao Yizheng: He made a bet with his friends that if he could earn a day's incense money in Changlong Temple by reading the hexagram for a day in this West Market, he would be able to see the true works of the former dynasty painting Shengyan Rongkai. If you lose, you have to go to the 10,000 yuan building to talk to the woman in the building for a long time.
"Obviously you lost, and you still owe a peach blossom debt." Xiao Yizheng said.
"You said that Changlong Temple is very quiet, how could you have thought that with my mouth to look at the divination, I would actually lose. How could I have thought that if I couldn't look at the divination, I could actually make that little woman fascinated by my so-called talent. The bookworm Wu looked puzzled.
"Then why did you go to the 10,000 Yuan Building today?"
"Apologize! Tell the girl about the cause and effect, and it was really not interesting for her to talk to her for a long time that day, and she beat me as a result. ”
"It's time to fight. You provoked the girl's family, and you continue to humiliate them. ”
As soon as the bookworm Wu opened the folding fan, he said calmly: "Okay, I should fight." If you think about it carefully, I talked to her for half a day of poetry and songs that day, and there was no charm between men and women. Whatever you want, just don't let me marry it. ”
Xiao Yizheng asked with a smile: "Didn't the girl's family say that they recognized you?" What would you do if you didn't get married? ”
"Take a boat to the sea, the ends of the earth, where to find me." Bookworm Wu blurted out.
"Out to sea? Where are you going to wander? ”
"Where the ship goes, where I go, the endless shore is also the shore, once you don't go back, you can't go back."
Xiao Yizheng can't and doesn't want to do this chic and uninhibited on him, but he appreciates it very much.
"So, this friend of yours really has Yan Rongkai's true handiwork in his hands?" He asked.
Bookworm Wu nodded: "That's natural, he said that there is something, my bookworm Wu will not believe in his friends." ”
Xiao Yizheng frowned.
The so-called scarcity is expensive. There are very few masterpieces of painting Saint Yan Rongkai, and there are only three or four according to legend. And the "Flying Map" that is treasured in the Shangdu Mind Garden is just a rumor, and there is no authentic work of the royal family, so who is this friend in the mouth of the bookworm Wu?
"Your friend can hide the authentic works of the paintings, and I would like to see the treasures too."
"Who made me lose? It's okay, I'll find a way to get him to take it out when I have the opportunity. Bookworm Wu raised his eyebrows.
Qingxi and Xiao Yiran, who had been walking behind them, were still chatting about the standard of living in Shangdu City.
Xiao Yiran looked at the bookworm Wu in front of him and kept shaking the paper fan, and said in a low voice: "That Mr. Wu is so strange, now that it is warm and cold, why is it so out of place?" Also, that white dress must be weird and scary to look at at night. ”
Qingxi sneered: "Xiao Qi is right, that gentleman's stomach is probably full of inopportune times." ”
Xiao Yiran turned his head again and asked Zhao Xin: "Master, why did the sixth brother make friends with him?" ”
Zhao Xin thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Xu is like-minded." ”
Qingxi answered: "Because your sixth brother has half a belly out of place." ”
Xiao Yiran twisted his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't quite understand.
Qingxi didn't explain, but advised: "Xiao Qi, if you feel that a person's behavior is unreasonable, don't be in a hurry to deny the difference between him and others, this may be his extraordinary." After a pause, she continued, "Do you know that he has a knack for imitating other people's handwriting? ”
"Really?" Xiao Yiran raised his eyes to look at the back of the bookworm Wu in front of him
shadow, there seems to be more envy and reverence in his eyes in an instant.
Zhao Xin added some information to Xiao Yiran.
The bookworm Wu's real name is Wu Xian, and his ancestors have been officials for generations, and he has some family backgrounds, but when it came to his father's generation, the family declined.
He is the only son in the family, and he has been strictly educated since he was a child to study and take the imperial examination. I have read a lot of this book, but his hobbies do imitate the calligraphy and handwriting of literati, and he slowly explores a bit of doorway skills, almost obsessive. As for the imperial examination, he was not interested in it at all. After the death of his parents, he scattered all the slaves in the family, moved into Dongshan, and lived a free life.
Everyone called him a bookworm Wu because his humble room on the east mountain was full of books, and there was also a misunderstanding here, everyone thought that he was a bookworm, but in fact, he preferred to study those different handwritings. However, not many people really know that he has this unique skill. Strange to say, you look at Mr. Wu's style of acting, everything is quite public, but he never shows off. Zhao Xin said as he spoke, and there was also praise in his words. He once said that this is his hobby and has nothing to do with anything else. ”
After hearing this, Qingxi nodded and said, "This is quite detached. ”
Since Dongshan Changlong Temple was on the outskirts of the city, there was still some distance, so Zhao Xin hired two carriages to go.
An hour later, the carriage arrived at Changryu Temple.
After getting off the bus in Qingxi, looking at the scenery in front of him, his heart was peaceful.
In the shade of the woods, a deep bell can be heard from a small temple, and occasionally the crisp chirping of birds in the forest can be heard.
Behind the temple, there is the towering East Mountain.
As Xiao Yizheng said, this place is backed by Dongshan, but there are not many pilgrims, and it is very quiet.
