"I'm really embarrassed, I remember that there was a lot of money in my bag two days ago, and I didn't pay attention to it at all, and there were only a dozen cents left. If I hadn't met Brother Cheng today, I would have been dragged to the yamen. Zhang Gui patted his big belly and said in a humble voice.

This Zhang Gui will be shrewd for a while, and he will be stupid like he is now, Cheng Xiaohao really doesn't understand whether he is really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

Seriously, Cheng Xiaohao didn't want to get along with this short man, because this person was uncertain and not suitable to be friends.

Or his brother Zhang Shun is open-minded and straightforward, and more affinity.

"Zhang... Expensive. Although he didn't want to call him by his name, Cheng Xiaohao didn't want to call him your brother, because he still didn't like this person very much, and intuitively didn't want to make friends with him.

Zhang Gui turned his head: "What?" ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "Ah, no, I offended, I should call you Zhang Dutong." ”

suddenly remembered that this Zhang Gui's identity is also Dutong, so it is most appropriate to call him Zhang Dutong.

Zhang Gui smiled: "It's okay, I'm not a person who cares about that kind of etiquette, it's better to call me by my name and appear closer." ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "No, no, no, that's still too rude." ”

Zhang Gui smiled: "What's rude or not, when I was in the village, everyone called each other by name, is it possible that all the people in my village are rude?" ”

Feeling that his smile was a little weird, Cheng Xiaohao had to smile awkwardly: "No, in fact, in my hometown, people only have names and no characters and numbers, and they all call each other names." ”

This Zhang Gui is really not easy to get along with, Cheng Xiaohao hurriedly continued: "By the way, Zhang Dutong must have something important to come to Lin'an, right?" Why are you not in a hurry to do it? ”

Follow yourself all the time, what's going on?

Zhang Gui patted his head, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Oh, if you don't say it, I really almost forgot about it." yes, I'm going to have to find someone. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly turned around, didn't take a few steps, turned around again, and shouted at Cheng Xiaohao's back: "Then how can I pay you back?" ”

Cheng Xiaohao turned around: "Forget it, that money should be regarded as a gift from me to Zhang Dutong." ”

Zhang Gui: "That's not good, where do you live?" I'll send it to you when I have the money. ”

Cheng Xiaohao really doesn't want to have too much intersection with this Zhang Gui, he doesn't like to make friends with such a person who is uncertain and can't see through the details.

So Cheng Xiaohao didn't want to tell him his address, of course, if he met Zhang Shun, he couldn't help it if he knew his address through Zhang Shun. However, Zhang Shun is acting secretly now, and he should not show up easily, so his chances of finding himself through Zhang Shun are much smaller.

So what reason should I find to reject him now......

Pregnant!

Cheng Xiaohao smiled: "Because I may change my residence at any time, I don't know where I will live in a few days." Isn't that why don't you still owe two dollars to the cake shop? When you pay back the shopkeeper, by the way, put my share with the shopkeeper. ”

Zhang Gui clapped his hands and praised: "It's a good way, just do it, I don't think the shopkeeper will dare to swallow it privately." ”

Cheng Xiaohao thought to himself: How can it be privately swallowed, judging from the matter just now, the shopkeeper and the old couple are obviously the kind of people who don't want to cause trouble, and others say that you don't want you to lose......

From this point of view, how do you think that this Zhang Gui is also a bit responsible......

Sure enough, people are all multifaceted, there are good and evil, frank and hypocritical, sincere and false......

However, Cheng Xiaohao still intuitively doesn't like to make friends with people like Zhang Gui, because he is tired!

After the two parted ways, Cheng Xiaohao walked for about ten minutes and arrived at Jiaoqinfang.

At a glance, the two sides of the road about five meters wide are densely packed with calligraphy and painting shops, and there are quite a lot of pedestrians on the road, but most of the people on this street are well-dressed, neat and clean, basically all of them are regular clothes and Confucian clothes, and there are almost no short jackets and short clothes.

Cheng Xiaohao walked from beginning to end, just looking left and right, and did not go in.

Because at this moment, he only has a few dozen cents on him, and according to his observation, those who go in, without exception, who buy something and come out, will be sent out by the shopkeeper with a smile; And those who go in in shabby clothes and don't buy anything will also be "invited" out, but they will inevitably suffer from white eyes.

Are these shopkeepers so snobbish!

Originally, I was going to buy a few pieces of straw paper for practice, but now it seems that I will forget it and come back tomorrow when I bring enough money.

Just as Cheng Xiaohao was about to go home, an inconspicuous shop sandwiched between two lively storefronts attracted his attention.

There was not a single customer in the shop, only a child who was no more than ten years old.

The child was holding a book and staring intently at it, unaware that someone had entered the store.

"Ahem, is the store there?"

Cheng Xiaohao coughed a few times, which attracted the attention of the child.

The child hurriedly put down the book in his hand, jumped down from the high stool behind the counter, walked up to Cheng Xiaohao, and gave a cross-handed salute in style: "Hello guest officer, what do you need?" Our store has four books and five classics, poems and songs, hundreds of miscellaneous books, and famous paintings. ”

"Oh? Do you remember where you live? Cheng Xiaohao looked around and found that in this small shop, there were really small sparrows, and the three large shelves against the wall were full of books, picture scrolls, paper, ink, pen and inkstone, especially books, which occupied almost two walls.

The child proudly said, "I remember, because I made it with my brother." ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "Haha, it seems that you have a good memory." You must remember the price of everything well, don't you? ”

The child raised his head and said, "That's nature." ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "Then I'll test you." ”

Then he took a random book from the bookshelf and asked, "How much is this..."Mr. Linchuan's Anthology"? ”

Child: "Six hundred and thirty." ”

Cheng Xiaohao took out another scroll of paintings, and the seal that tied the painting was printed with the name of the painting and the name of the artist.

"Then how much is this copy of "Viewing the Lanterns" worth?"

"One thousand seven hundred and fifty wen."

"How can a fake be more expensive than an entire book!"

The child shook his head and said: "The guest officer is really joking, he must not know much about paintings, and it only takes more paper to print a book, but it takes several days or even dozens of days for a skilled painter to copy a painting." Especially for a masterpiece like "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", even copying is very rare, because once a little mistake occurs halfway, all the work will be abandoned, and dozens of days of hard work will be in vain, and ordinary painters will not dare to take that kind of work at all. ”

Cheng Xiaohao was surprised: ""Qingming Riverside Map"! ”

Child: "Guest, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "No, it's nothing, it's just that I've heard the fame of this painting, but unfortunately I've never seen its true face." Actually, I've seen the online version, but he has always been yearning for the genuine Qingming Shanghe Tu.

It just so happens that now in the Song Dynasty again, maybe he can find the real "Qingming Riverside Map" and collect it!
