Chapter 40: Blackmailing a Hundred Paintings
"Shi Langjun, I came late for the appointment, capital crime and capital crime!"
Xu Youzheng made an apology, Shi Qiyu leaned against the doorpost, his eyes were soft and revealing a faint joy, and he smiled slightly: "Seeing that you came immediately after receiving the letter, this capital crime will be spared!" ”
"Thank you, Lang Jun!"
Xu You straightened up, a smile on the corner of his lips. It has been more than a year since they parted on the first night, but the two did not feel a little rusty and embarrassed when they met, but they were more comfortable and comfortable than back then.
There is always a subtle fate between people. Some people are tired of being together every day, but they may not be able to become friends, and some people are familiar at first sight, and their friendship with each other will not fade because of the years, but will last forever.
"Please!"
Shi Qiyu turned sideways, and when Xu You passed by her, he smelled a faint fragrance on the tip of his nose. I suddenly remembered that when I heard Su Shu talk about it, this fragrance is not the taste of fat powder, but the natural body fragrance emanating from the body, and there is no one in tens of millions of people, which is really a wonderful product.
Entering the yard, the cleaning is very clean, there is not too much rockery, but the decoration is very elegant. There is no incense in the world, but it is not like the dust of the Taoist Buddhist temple. How to find a balance between entering the world and leaving the world is the most important thing to study a person's skills.
Looking at his residence and knowing his aspirations, Shi Qiyu is a real wise man!
"Lang Jun sit down for a while, I'll come when I go."
Shi Qiyu wore a curtain fence on his head, dressed as if he was going out, and happened to meet Xu You to visit, so he naturally wanted to go back to the room to change his clothes.
The two little ladies who stayed in the room to serve were the last time, one was called Qingzhi and the other was called Qingluo. Qingluo looked at Xu You angrily, taking advantage of Shi Qiyu's absence, and said with a slight sneer: "Ouch, Xu Langjun is really a noble person who forgets things, the agreement with my family Xiao Lang on the night of Shangyuan last year, seeing that most of this year has passed, you are late...... If you really want to be so reluctant, it's better not to come! ”
Where would Xu You care about her, motioned to Zuo Yan to take out the gift, took it and put it on the desk with his own hands, and said with a smile: "That day in the Hidden Dragon Cave, I accidentally caused Qingluo Xiaoniang to wet her feet, and I delayed today to go to Yunyan Embroidery Workshop to find Feng A-Niang to sew two new pairs of new ones, which can be regarded as making amends for the little mother!" In addition, there are some Dai Fangzhai's rouge gouaches, which are all worthless gadgets, and Qingzhi Xiaoniang, you can share them separately. ”
"Huh?"
Qingluo didn't expect that after such a long time, Xu You still remembered the footsteps, and directly gave two pairs and Dai Fangzhai's fat powder. The footwear of Yunyan Embroidery Workshop is very expensive, but the more expensive is Dai Fangzhai, where the fat powder is used for the harem concubines, also known as "tribute powder", and no one can buy it for leisure, and no one will buy it to give them these lowly maids, for a while, quite embarrassing.
Qing Zhi pulled her, her round tender face was apologetic, and said, "Qing Luo is young and doesn't know how to be polite, so let Lang Jun laugh." The events of that day have long passed, and besides, Lang Jun didn't mean to, these things can't be accepted by the maids! ”
What was sent, how could there be a reason to take it back, Xu You didn't entangle with the two little girls more, and said with a smile: "Okay, put the things here first, wait and ask Shi Langjun later, and then decide how to dispose of it!" ”
At this time, Shi Qiyu walked in from the inside, wearing a simple white silk Luo family scholar's clothes, not as bloated as the robe, and the slender figure was outlined by the lines at first sight, but the curtain fence was replaced by a veil, and he still refused to show his true face.
Xu You and Zuo Yan both knew her identity as a woman, so they didn't think it was strange. Shi Qiyu said: "What do you want to ask my opinion?" ”
Qing Zhi hurriedly said: "It was Xu Langjun who brought us a gift, it is too valuable, we don't dare to accept it......"
Shi Qiyu flipped through the gift box with great interest, took out Dai Fangzhai's fat powder and smelled it, and chuckled: "This Dai Fangzhai's fat powder is hard to find, and the girls of the scholar clan in Wu County are competing to chase after each other, boasting to each other about who can buy a few more boxes, and even not hesitating to turn their faces into enemies...... Xu Langjun understands his daughter's thoughts very well! ”
This pot must not be carried, Xu You's desire to survive made him point to Zuo Yan without hesitation, and said: "This is Zuo Langjun, a native of Jinling, who is the best at pleasing girls." Today's gifts are all selected by him, I am just generous, I dare not be praised! ”
Zuo Yan's face was full of confusion, if it weren't for the deep concentration of the little grandmaster, he would really spit out a mouthful of old blood. Shi Qiyu's eyes were incomparably clear, and he stared at Xu You silently as if he was smiling. In terms of appearance and temperament among the three, Zuo Yan doesn't look like the kind of person Xu You said anyway, but Xu You can talk nonsense seriously, which is really interesting.
To say that Xu You's face thickness was enough to withstand the three rounds of bombardment of the Thunder Cannon, but for some reason, he suddenly felt a little at a loss in front of Shi Qiyu, touched his nose, and said, "Fenghu, did you say?" ”
Shi Qiyu snorted and laughed, turned his head to look at Zuo Yan, smiled slightly, and said: "The name of Zuo Langjun is loyal and brave, I have heard of it in Wu County. Today, I know that I am so careful and considerate, and whose girl will seek to be a husband in the future, that is the real good fortune. ”
Xu You can make fun of Zuo Yan, that is because the relationship between the two is deep, but Shi Qiyu can't be so rude, and he has a lot of respect for Zuo Yan, the little grandmaster. However, her words are kind, generous, and she treats people like a spring breeze, which is very Xu You's demeanor.
Zuo Yan smiled bitterly: "I...... I...... Cough! ”
In order to avoid Zuo Yan's embarrassment, Shi Qiyu changed the topic and said: "I owe Xu Langjun ten paintings, do you want to collect debts today?" ”
"Lang Jun is wrong, not ten paintings, but a hundred paintings!"
"Oh?" Shi Qiyu was not surprised, or her temperament tended to be calm and generous, and she rarely lost her temper, so she smiled: "Why is this so?" ”
"On the first night of last year, Lang Jun promised to exchange ten paintings for a poem for me. But for more than a year, I have been thinking day and night, tossing and turning, and those paintings that I have not yet met have appeared in my mind many times, or flowers, birds, cordyceps, or birds and animals, or ladies and talents, or Taoist Buddha statues, day and night, there are as many as 100 paintings. If I can't return satisfied, I'm going to stay here and not leave......"
Qing Luo had never seen such a laid-back person, his apricot eyes widened, and he couldn't help but interject: "Xu Langjun, you are blackmailing!" ”
Xu You smiled: "What the little lady said is that I am indeed blackmailing!" ”
"You!"
Qing Luo was speechless with anger, and his opinion of Xu You, who had improved a little because of those expensive gifts just now, immediately returned to the initial stage. Qingzhi was smarter than her, keenly aware of the ambiguous atmosphere between Xu You and her own girl, and quietly grabbed Qingluo from behind, pressed her index finger to her lips, signaling not to say much.
Shi Qiyu lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look directly at Xu You, and a trace of shyness flashed in his eyes. After a long time, he raised his head, his eyes became unwavering, and said, "Okay, a hundred paintings, I promised!" ”
This time, Xu You stared at her, and through the tulle, he could only see the faint facial contours of the girl sitting opposite. Who she is, where her home is, and what she looks like don't seem to be so important, the corners of her lips are slightly raised, blooming with tenderness that she has never had, and said, "Refreshing!" However, I know that it is not easy for Lang Jun to paint, these 100 paintings can be delivered slowly, two, three, five, ten paintings a year, whatever you want! ”
In other words, these 100 paintings can be painted slowly over several years. Xu You doesn't like Shi Qiyu very much, but the good impression from Shangyuan Night is deep in his heart, and seeing you again today has not disappeared with the passage of time. So he obeyed his heart and decisively tested it, and sometimes, it was right for a man to take the initiative. Sure enough, Shi Qiyu also gave a positive response.
Continue to communicate through the paintings, and leave the rest, whether it is successful or not, to time!
The time of 100 paintings is enough for two people to see each other's personality and each other's intentions clearly, and then decide whether to simply be friends or go further from friends.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt a lot closer to each other, and that kind of tacit understanding that seemed to be innate, others could not understand it, let alone understand it.
Shi Qiyu suddenly asked, "I heard that Lang Jun is good at arithmetic?" He is especially good at heavenly and jade calculations, setting a precedent for the past and present, far exceeding the ...... of the world."
Xu You was stunned, and immediately reacted, "You and Mr. Zu?" ”
"Mr. Zu is my mentor, I have been practicing arithmetic with him since I was a child, and it has been more than ten years now!" Shi Qiyu said: "I received a letter from my teacher a month ago, and I praised Lang Jun and praised him as a talent, and I, the apprentice he has always liked, seem to have become worthless. ”
Jiangdong has a small geographical boundary, and the relationship network has turned three times, so it can be related to each other. Xu You suddenly said: "In this way, the Yin Nine Rounds of the Peach Forest outside are from Lang Jun's handwriting?" Such a domineering formation caused us to go back and forth a lot of unjust roads, and we almost escaped from exhaustion! ”
"It's not to set up this peach blossom bureau to make things difficult for guests," listening to Xu You's exaggeration, Shi Qiyu pursed his lips and smiled: "It's just that there are always some idlers who want to break in and make trouble, and it's too big here, there are only these two little girls around me all the year round, and the other three or five subordinates, relying on manpower can't ensure that they are safe, so they use the peach forest to set up a formation to deter them." ”
Qing Zhi looked at Xu You with a little admiration, and said, "Xu Langjun, since the laying of this peach blossom bureau, you are still the first one who can come out on your own without our guidance!" ”
At the beginning, when he entered the peach forest, he was trapped in the formation nine times out of ten, and he wanted to call Qingzhi to rescue, and he easily broke the formation for Xu You and his party, but he felt powerful from the heart.
However, she had a holiday with Xu You, and she would never praise Qingzhi in person, pursed her lips, and said, "Maybe it's Meng, who ......knows."
Xu You pointed to Qingming behind him and said: "Although I know a little about arithmetic, I don't know anything about the eighteen bureaus of yin and yang, and I can get out of the peach blossom bureau by luck, all thanks to Qingming's contributions." ”
Shi Qiyu has noticed Qingming, he gives people a completely different feeling from others, standing there, but as if he does not exist, as long as it is not within sight, he will always forget that there is still someone there.
"The so-called people are divided into groups, Lang Jun is talented, and his command is full of talents!" Shi Qiyu said to Qingming Zuo: "Qingming Langjun entered the Qiantang alone, saved Xu Langjun in the tiger and wolf service, non-wisdom and courage can not do it, it has been famous for a long time, and it can be seen today, and it lives up to its name!" ”
Qingming was silent for a moment, glanced at Xu You, and then returned the salute to Shi Qiyu. Xu You understood what he meant, and there were some doubts in his heart, so he asked himself: "Shi Langjun, you seem to know our affairs very clearly?" ”
Qingming Yi Yi Yi infiltrated Qiantang, this matter is very secret, even the Crouching Tiger Division does not know the specific situation, but Shi Qiyu can tell the story like a few treasures.
Who is she?
