Chapter 553: Time Cooks Rain
Seeing this, Mu Teng jumped up from his seat and blocked in front of Ren Zhen, his face pale, "Shopkeeper Tong, if you have something to say, what do you mean!" β
He didn't understand, he was obviously talking about business, why the shopkeeper Tong was murderous.
Ren Zhen was brought by him, and if he died here today, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it would also become a shame for the War Song Department.
Ren Zhen was expressionless, and he didn't even stand up, just stared at the shopkeeper Tong quietly, as if he had nothing to do with himself and was enjoying the performance.
was so calm and calm, the shopkeeper Tong was inexplicably uncomfortable, raised his eyebrows and said: "The people of the Seven Realms will not be born out of thin air. If I'm not mistaken, you're a spy sent by the Central Plains, right? Dare to swagger into here, you have a lot of guts! β
Mu Teng's eyes trembled fiercely, "Shopkeeper Tong, you can't talk nonsense!" β
Ren Zhen still didn't speak, staring at him with his sleeves in his hands, his eyes were unwavering. No matter who you are, you will be stared at like this all the time, and after a long time, your heart will be furious.
The shopkeeper Tong was like a man's back, giving birth to an illusion that was completely seen through, and said tentatively: "If you don't argue, you just acquiesce?" β
Ren Zhen blinked, then spoke, and said lightly: "Shopkeeper Tong, why bother? If your wife wants to capture me, she will never let you come alone. Do you think it's fun to scare us blindly? β
The poor acting skills of the shopkeeper Tong are not worth mentioning in front of him.
He had long seen that Shopkeeper Tong's cultivation was only in the Six Realms, and even Mu Teng couldn't beat him, let alone force him, a powerhouse in the Seven Realms, to make a move.
He also sensed that there was no ambush outside the room, and the shopkeeper Tong came alone. If Madam Bai really wanted to arrest him, it was impossible to expect a mere Six Realms, this was tantamount to sending him to death, she was definitely not so stupid.
So, obviously, the other party is still doing boring temptations.
The shopkeeper Tong froze, and when he saw that the trick was recognized, he had no choice but to put away his murderous aura, and his expression became more and more complicated.
Mu Teng breathed a sigh of relief, was scared out of a cold sweat, how dare he sit back again, and said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Tong, we are here with sincerity, you can't accept this deal, please give me a happy word!" β
The shopkeeper Tong was still unwilling, unwilling to be treated as a clown by a teenager, but he didn't dare to disobey his wife's orders, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Hmph, it's not that I deliberately make things difficult for you, Madam said, Boiling Yuxuan is not a vegetable market, and those who come will not refuse, and the cats and dogs in the mountains are not qualified to witness her beauty. Always test your courage first, and then she will consider it as she sees fit. β
Ren Zhen stood up, dusted off his body, and said calmly: "Then bother the shopkeeper to lead the way." β
He could tell that Madame wanted to find out the details of him before deciding whether to see him or not. How could such a simple test scare him.
The corner of Shopkeeper Tong's mouth twitched for a moment, and he sighed: "Are young people nowadays so bold?" Heroes come out of boys, just come with me alone! β
With the Bai family's prestige in Longze City, he can't force Ren Zhen to show his original form, what else can he say, he can only obediently take Ren Zhen to see his wife.
Mu Teng remained there, while Ren Zhen followed Shopkeeper Tong to the backyard, through a winding corridor, and into the attic.
The reception hall on the first floor is antique, quite elegant, and compared with the teahouse in front, I don't know how many grades it has.
The shopkeeper Tong instructed: "You sit here, don't move around, I'll go and ask Madame." β
With that, he went upstairs.
Ren Zhen stood in the hall, did not sit down, and looked around with his hands in his hands.
"There are many talented people in the Southern Dynasty, clear and clear, free and easy, look at this house, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the four treasures of the study room, the book atmosphere is very strong, it really seems to be the style of Jinling famous family......"
He walked into the room, only to see a rosewood copywriting in the middle, piled up with all kinds of famous inkstones, all kinds of pen holders, hanging pens like a forest. There is a celadon flower sac standing on the side, which is full of white chrysanthemum words, and the fragrance is refreshing.
The most striking thing is that on the wall behind the copy, there is a large landscape painting.
Ren Zhen's attention was quickly attracted by it, and he couldn't help but walk over to watch.
The picture pattern is very open, in the middle of the whole work, there is a large blank space, without the slightest ink, only on the edge of the painting, sketching the shallow grass, hazy river bank, let the viewer realize that the smoke and waves are vast, it turns out that the whole canvas is full of water.
In the lower left corner, the author uses delicate brushwork to draw a young girl, standing alone at the ferry, holding a folded umbrella, looking at the heart of the river alone, not knowing what she is looking at.
It can be said that the core of the whole painting is the blank river, if you look at it from a distance, it is similar to hanging a blank piece of paper, and you can't detect the meaning of the painting. Only when you walk in front of you and look closely can you understand its wonders.
What does the girl want to do when she stands in the rain?
Are you enjoying the lonely river view, or are you waiting for the lover who has not returned?
Ren Zhen has lived in Jinling for a long time, somewhat impregnated with the habits of some Southern Dynasty scholars, carefully looked at it for a moment, swept the corner of his eye, and suddenly noticed that in the lower right corner of the painting, there is a line of subtle small characters.
He stared at it and unconsciously read it, "The naΓ―ve years can't bear to be bullied, the youth is absurd, I will be the ...... you in the end"
As he finished the sentence, his pupils immediately contracted.
What the heck!
Isn't that the lyrics of "Time Cooks Rain" on Earth!
How can it appear on the painting!
He gasped, his mind quickly cleared up, and his mood was mixed.
"I see, this work must have been painted by my father. No one else knows the lyrics except him......"
In fact, the original sentence of the lyrics should be "I don't live up to you", which was changed to "I will end up with you", it seems that when painting this landscape, Ren Tianxing's heart was full of guilt for someone, so he changed the word.
Ren Zhen was shocked, and couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that in such a place, he could find his father's true deeds.
"Wait, how did his painting end up here? Could it be ......"
Thinking of a possibility, his face changed drastically.
At this moment, a soft and indifferent voice sounded from behind him.
"Are you interested in this painting?"
Ren Zhen turned around and saw a woman standing in the sunlight in the room, staring at him.
She has a plump figure, and her long skirt as white as jasmine is worn on her body, which is extraordinarily tight. Burgundy curls were scattered over her shoulders, perhaps because she had not yet made up, her eyebrow line was very light, and her beautiful face was as indifferent as ice and snow.
After saying this, she sat down on the main seat by herself, with a lazy posture, and could not see the solemnity of hospitality.
Ren Zhen walked over and bowed, "Junior, meet Mrs. Bai." β
Madame Bai looked at him and said straight to the point: "I don't care where you come from, and I don't care what your identity is. This is my territory, and if you want to do business with me, you have to follow my rules. β
Her voice is very soft, like a breeze, which makes people indescribably happy, if you only listen to the voice, you will definitely think that she is a bright girl. It's a pity that her words are tough and direct, and she doesn't have the innocence of a girl at all.
Ren Zhen lowered her head and listened, not silent, knowing that her intention to express her position was to warn herself not to be cautious again.
Madame Bai continued: "Since you are a smart person, then I will test you. β
Ren Zhen's heart sank slightly, this woman is really not a good stubble.
"The author forgot to put the name of the painting you just saw, but you should tell me what it should be called according to the content of the painting?"
Ren Zhen's waist was still bowed, but his head was raised and he looked at Madame Bai.
The room was eerily quiet.
