Chapter Fifty-Four: What Happened to the East City

"This girl, which of your calligraphy are you going to buy?"

"Oh...... I'll take a look at it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Li Yuze replied to the tone of the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop, first in a man's tone, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he became a little gentle.

Under the guidance of the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop, Li Yuze followed the boss to look around the shop. The size of this calligraphy and painting shop is not as large as that of the calligraphy and painting shops in the West Market, but both shops have rooms dedicated to the painting of scholars, and the biggest difference between this shop and the calligraphy and painting shops in the West Market is that the shop mainly sells calligraphy works by famous Tang Dynasty artists, and there are few ink treasures on the picture scrolls.

"Girl, the hottest thing in our store is the works of Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun."

"You also have the works of Ouyang Xun, a scholar of Hongwen Pavilion?"

"Yes, of course. Sensei said that Ouyang inquired, and even the current holy Mobao is available in this store. ”

Li Yuze saw the funny look of the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop, and thought that this boss must be bragging, and said, "Then let me take a look at the works of Yu Shinan and Ouyang Xun first." ”

"Okay, girl, come with me."

The owner of the calligraphy and painting shop led Li Yuze to an elegant cubicle, and when Li Yuze walked in with the boss, she had always been sensitive to Hanmo Danqing, and the calligraphy works in this room were different.

"Girl, do you think this is Wen Yi Gongyu Shinan's work "Cicada", how about it?"

"'Drink the dew, and the sound of dredging is out. Raising his voice from afar, not by the autumn wind. The verses are indeed the verses of the Secret Eunuch, but why is the ink still a little wet? ”

After Li Yuze finished reciting the poem, he stroked the handwriting on the paper with his hand, and felt that the handwriting was not dry, as if it had just been written, and the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop was anxious to explain to her when he heard Li Yuze's question.

"Oh...... That's the case, it rained a few days ago, and this room is hiding the most precious ink treasures in this store, which are too closed and not ventilated in time, and there is some moisture, so that the handwriting on this ink treasure is wet. ”

"Really?"

"Girl, if you don't believe it, you can do it."

"Boss, it's not that I don't believe it, even if the handwriting of this work is dry, it's not real."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Yu Gong has a strong temperament, outspoken and daring to admonish, and the words are like his person, his words are soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and the pen is round and harmonious and beautiful, but this work is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, and there is a surface for nothing."

After listening to Li Yuze's explanation, the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop unconsciously threw himself on her in admiration, and there was no embarrassment when the lie was exposed.

"The girl has good eyesight, admire! Admire! To tell the truth, this clumsy work was copied by a contemptible person, which really made the girl laugh. ”

After listening to the boss's sincere answer, Li Yuze smiled at him, and then said: "This painting is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, although it is not as beautiful as the soft inside and the outside, but it is a good calligraphy work. ”

The boss listened to Li Yuze's praise, and smiled at her embarrassedly. At this time, Li Yuze's eyes were attracted by another calligraphy work.

"Boss, this work is Ouyang Xun's ink treasure?"

"I'll tell you the truth, this ink treasure is indeed Ouyang Xun's work, but this piece is not for sale."

"Why don't you sell it?"

"This character is when the store opened, Ouyang rate was specially dedicated to the store, so this character has become the treasure of the store, no matter who pays how much, this character will not be sold."

"I see!" After Li Yuze paused, "Boss...... I'm proficient in calligraphy, and I can copy masterpieces from famous artists, can you let me copy the works here, and then sell them, and finally I only need to charge a little salary? ”

"How can this work, you are a woman."

Li Yuze originally thought that the boss would value his talents, and he considered it, but who knew that he gave himself an answer without thinking, which made Li Yuze a little unacceptable.

"What's wrong with the woman?" Li Yuze couldn't help but raise his voice, and then became lower, "But I know calligraphy, I can copy famous works, if not, I can disguise myself as a man." ”

"That's not okay, you're a daughter after all."

"Boss ......"

The owner of the calligraphy and painting shop turned around, waved his hand to Li Yuze, and said, "If the girl is not interested in the calligraphy works of this store, she can leave." ”

Li Yuze saw that the boss rejected him so resolutely, and he didn't feel depressed, and saw that the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop had already walked out of the compartment, and she only stood for a while, and then followed out of the elegant compartment.

The boss stood behind the counter and looked at the account books, while Li Yuze stood in the middle of the store and looked at the boss, and when he saw that the boss bowed his head and was silent, he walked out of the calligraphy and painting shop with interest.

This is the first time that Li Yuze has come to Dongshi dressed as a woman, although she knows that this world is a man's world, and this world is a man's world, but she never thought that such a world would reject herself so fiercely, which made her feel a chill in her heart.

"Why is my purse bag missing? Quick, you can find this official quickly. ”

The speaker was Wang Mingkun, the magistrate of Wannian County, and he was followed by a servant, both of whom were traveling in civilian clothes, and as soon as Wang Mingkun's order was issued, the official bowed down and looked for him on the ground. When he searched for a short time but couldn't find it, he suddenly straightened up and said, "County Order, could it be that little beggar who stole your money bag?" ”

Wang Mingkun followed the officer's direction, looked at a little boy who had not gone far, and said hurriedly: "Quick, catch him for me, don't let him run away." ”

When the official heard Wang Mingkun's order, he hurried to chase the little boy, and Wang Mingkun also walked over.

The little boy had no intention of escaping, and when the officer grabbed the little boy by the shoulder, the little boy bared his teeth and cried out in pain, and he could not help but struggle.

"Little beggar, I stole the money bag and wanted to escape!"

When the officer saw the boy struggling, he thought to himself that he must have been frightened because he had been caught, so he struggled to escape, so he increased his strength and held the boy by the shoulder, and as the officer exerted a little force, the expression of pain on the little boy's face increased by a point.

"It hurts...... Hurt...... I...... No...... Steal your purse. ”

At this time, Wang Mingkun came over and shouted angrily: "Little bastard, you stole the official's money bag, and you still want to be cunning." ”

After Wang Mingkun finished speaking, a big ear scraper fell heavily on the little boy's face, even if he was tightly pinched by the officer's shoulder, he failed to catch him, and the little boy was thrown to the ground by a slap.

Blood flowed from the corners of the little boy's mouth, and when he fell to the ground, he covered the bleeding corners of his mouth with his hands, and began to sob, he was originally skinny, but now he fell to the ground and was even more pitiful, and the crowd around him was getting bigger and bigger.

Li Yuze, who came out of the calligraphy and painting shop, saw the crowd in front of her, so she walked over and tried her best to get into the crowd, and when she saw a little boy lying on the ground, she immediately squatted down and helped him up.

"What kind of ability is it for two adults to bully a child!"

"Don't meddle in your girl's family, otherwise you will be beaten together."

After hearing the reprimand of the servant, the little boy instinctively hid behind Li Yuze, and then walked out again, saying, "Sister, you can go, leave me alone." ”

Li Yuze stroked the little boy's head and comforted: "Don't be afraid! There's my sister here, it's fine. Li Yuze then hid the little boy behind him.

"Why are you hitting a child?"

"He stole the ...... My money bag deserves to be beaten. ”

"Which eye did you see that he stole it?"

Wang Mingkun was speechless when he was asked, so he looked at the official standing beside him, and saw that the official bowed his head and was silent, so he reprimanded: "Waste! ”

Wang Mingkun's eyes were confused for a moment, he thought about it for a moment, and said, "I saw it with both eyes, and this little beggar bumped into me when he just walked past me." ”

"Is he the only one who walks past you? Is there no one else? ”

"Yes, but he bumped into me, and then took the sheep and stole my money bag."

"These are all your speculations, you have no real evidence to prove that he stole it, do you know what the crime of slandering others is?"

"Oh, tell me the law here, don't you know who I am?"

"Don't want to know who you are, no matter who you are, it's just wrong to hit people indiscriminately." Li Yuze turned around and looked at the little boy standing behind him, at this time one of the people in the crowd was quietly fleeing from the crowd, Li Yuze saw it, he didn't feel strange, and thought for a while, "Quick, catch that person." ”

The crowd of onlookers didn't know why, and the official who followed Wang Mingkun knew what was going on when he heard it, so he walked through the crowd and caught the person who wanted to escape.

When the official brought the fleeing man back into the crowd, the man struggled to resist, who would have thought that the official was full of martial arts, and with a little luck, he would press him to the ground fiercely, and then a money bag fell from him.

Wang Mingkun saw a money bag lying on the ground, so he hurriedly picked it up and put it in his hand, and found that it turned out to be his money bag, he hurriedly opened it, and looked into the money bag cautiously alone, and when he saw that a note was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dare to steal my money bag, it's really a leopard's gall, take him back to the yamen."

When the official heard Wang Mingkun's order, he put the thief's hands behind him and escorted him, wanting to return to the Yamen of Wannian County with Wang Mingkun.

"You two can't go, you still want to leave after beating someone!"

The crowd of onlookers heard Li Yuze's shout, so they shouted in unison: "Can't go ......"

When Wang Mingkun and the official heard the formation of this chorus of crusade, they unconsciously stopped, stood motionless, and then turned around.

"What do you want?"

"I, this little boy, will go with you to the yamen to see the officials."

"Let's go, just wipe out your group of people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic."
