Chapter Twenty-Eight: Walking with Beauty
"Chu Langjun, someone came to you, saying that there was an urgent matter."
"Looking for me in a hurry?"
Chu Feng was puzzled, slightly stunned, and subconsciously put down the brush in his hand.
He Junhao next to him frowned slightly, turned his head and glanced at Chu Feng.
Everyone looked at the little guy who came to report it, and saw that behind this little guy was a very tall woman, and they couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
"Qi Da?"
Such a woman is always unforgettable, Chu Feng recognized the other party at a glance, and was a little surprised.
Taking two steps forward, Chu Feng hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" But what's going on in the store? ”
Qi Da was wearing a dark short, with a thick linen belt tightly tied around his waist, and nodded expressionlessly at this time: "There are customers in the store who are looking for you by name." ”
Chu Feng was puzzled and puzzled: "Looking for me?" Why? ”
"I don't know." Her answers, like her people, were crisp and clear.
Qi Da's voice is good, with a brisk, simple voice line, which doesn't work with too many adjectives, just makes people feel clean.
Her people are the same, even if they simply stand there, standing in the sun and in front of everyone, she is still her, motionless, as if she will not move a single inch for hundreds of years.
Qi Da's expression rarely changed. In the past month, Chu Feng had seen Qi Da four or five times, and each time it was no more than a stick of incense, but even if it was a simple frown, Chu Feng had never been able to notice it from her face.
I have to say that she is a wonderful person, and at the same time. She is also a quiet but trustworthy person.
Chu Feng looked at her blue eyes. Although she had doubts, she didn't think she would deceive herself.
"Are you in a hurry?" Chu Feng asked.
"It's urgent."
can make Qi Da say something "very urgent". That's urgent enough.
"Okay, let's go down the mountain." Chu Feng nodded and responded solemnly.
He didn't know what he was talking about. If he simply thought and guessed vaguely like this, Chu Feng felt that it was probably because of which of his previous paintings and calligraphy was sold incorrectly, and he was approached by a guest.
Although he didn't think he would make such a mistake, with his character, he naturally wouldn't deliberately escape.
So Chu Feng turned around and confessed to Xiao Ting, and remembered one more thing: "Brother Xiao." Thank you for your hospitality today, but I can't stay for a long time, and I hope that Brother Xiao will forgive you. Before I came, I found a painting from the calligraphy and painting shop as a gift, put it in the carriage I came, and didn't take it up the mountain. ”
"Brother Chu, where is it, we have been going back and forth for a long time, and we must not delay our business." Xiao Ting Road. "If you're in a hurry, you can use my coachman, just say what I ordered. I've thanked you for the painting in advance. ”
Chu Feng nodded, without saying more, and made a "please" gesture sideways. Let's go down the mountain together.
"Wait!" At this time, a voice came from behind him, accompanied by the sound of the wind on the top of the mountain. Obviously a little angry, "Brother Chu, are you ready to escape?" ”
Chu Feng frowned slightly. Stop, turn back. saw the angry look on He Junhao's face.
"Brother He, I'm really sorry, today's matter is indeed mine, let's talk about this competition later! Another day, I will definitely make amends for my sins with wine and say goodbye!"
After that, he arched his hand and walked away.
"You ......" He Junhao looked angry, subconsciously caught up a few steps, and felt that this was really a loss of identity, so he snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves.
Staring at Chu Feng's back and looking at it indignantly, it wasn't until the figures of the two disappeared into the tree-lined path that he sneered and said, "Have you all seen it?" What kind of person with superb painting skills from Hangzhou City, hanging a station avoidance sign above his head, is obviously afraid of losing. In my opinion, the woman has already received his orders, and once someone asks him to paint, the woman will come out and call that Chu Feng away under all kinds of excuses! Scold! Sure enough, it's 'under the fame, but it's actually difficult to deserve'! Wan Yan, this time you are afraid that you will lose your eyes!"
Everyone heard the words, some laughed and agreed, and some whispered something.
Xiao Ting listened on the sidelines, slightly annoyed, but his face was still warm, and he stepped forward and smiled at He Junhao: "Since Brother He has Yaxing to paint, how about a fight between you and my brothers?" Anyway, the ink is also grinding, the paper is also spreading, and everyone asks each other for advice, which can be regarded as a cheer for the rest of you, how about it? ”
He Junhao thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, it's better to play with you than to fight with that Chu Feng." I think about it now, then whether Chu Feng can paint or not is probably two words! Wanyan, when you have fellowship with him, don't be too gullible. ”
Xiao Ting smiled when he heard this, patted him on the shoulder, and didn't say much.
On Chu Feng's side, he hurried down the mountain with Qi Da all the way, and after arriving at the foot of the mountain, the carriages from the previous prefectures were still waiting there, and the coachmen bought watermelons from nearby farmers, and at this time they were sitting under the roots of the trees eating, laughing and gossiping.
Seeing Chu Feng coming down the mountain, the coachman who picked him up couldn't help but be stunned, quickly got up, patted the sticky dirt on his buttocks, trotted over to salute Chu Feng, and asked, "Could it be that Chu Langjun is in a hurry to return to the city?"
"Yes, I'm sorry for you to make an extra trip." Chu Feng nodded, "By the way, please give the picture scroll in that carriage to the others in your mansion." Well, otherwise, after you send me back to the city, you can take it back to the Xiao Mansion directly. ”
The coachman immediately nodded and responded: "These are all small things, Chu Langjun doesn't have to care, the small ones must be done." If you're in a hurry, get on the bus quickly. ”
Chu Feng bowed his head, turned around to look at Qi Da, and was about to ask her if she was in the same car, but saw Qi Da move out of a horse from behind the tree.
Chu Feng didn't understand horses, but when he saw that this horse was unusual, he guessed that this should be the divine horse in Zhao's shopkeeper's mouth.
Just as he wanted to say something, he heard Qi Da say coldly and resolutely: "The carriage is too slow." Do you know how to ride a horse? ”
Chu Feng was slightly stunned and shook his head.
Qi Da groaned slightly, led the horse to Chu Feng, and raised his chin at him: "Get on the horse." ”
"Me?" Chu Feng smiled. "Girl, it is true that you don't know how to ride a horse below. I wanted to learn, but I never found the opportunity. Haven't even climbed on horseback. Why don't I take a carriage, it shouldn't be too slow, what do you say...... You! ”
Qi Da didn't speak, but started directly.
I don't know where she got such a strong strength, she took a step forward with her right foot, bowed down and stretched out her hand to lift it on Chu Feng's waist again and again, and actually carried Chu Feng, a big man, directly and threw it on the horseback.
This divine horse is also very human, for the fact that his back suddenly sank. It just snorted, and didn't move.
Horses can be calm, but Chu Feng cannot. He almost exclaimed in surprise, but fortunately he immediately suppressed it, so that he did not show his shame in front of the woman......
Well, but then again, it seems to be shameful enough to be carried around by a woman now......
Chu Feng struggled to find balance on his horse, and finally grabbed the reins of the horse and sat up straight. I only felt that there was a movement behind me, and it was Qi Da who also turned over and got on the horse.
Do you want to ride together?
As soon as such a thought passed through his mind, Chu Feng only felt that the body of the divine horse under him moved, and the reins in his hand were taken away. The scenery around him immediately retreated at a gallop.
With a sudden heartbeat, Chu Feng hurriedly grabbed the horse's mane and lowered his center of gravity. The muscles of the whole body were tense, for fear of falling to the ground.
"Relax." Qi Da's emotionless voice sounded in his ears. "If you clamp the horse's belly too tightly, it will run very fast."
Feelings: This is a manual transmission...... Chu Feng thought subconsciously.
Keep telling yourself to relax, to relax. He himself took deep breaths again and again, and slowly, Chu Feng finally relaxed slightly.
The wind is hunting in my ears, and I only feel very cool on my body.
Thinking about it carefully, it turned out that I was nervous and sweating all over my body, and at this time I was blown by the wind on the horse's back, so I felt refreshed.
The person behind him didn't speak, but the breath between his breaths came to his ears as it was, and a trace of breath lingered gently in his right ear.
He could feel a slight heat in his back, and between occasional bumps, Chu Feng could even feel the softness of his back to the touch.
Suddenly realizing what it was, Chu Feng's throat tightened slightly.
Qi Da didn't speak, and Chu Feng didn't know what to say. For a while, I only heard the sound of the wind in my ears.
The roadside flowers and plants are everywhere, always fragrant, occasionally passing by the fertile fields, and seeing the wheat waves rolling.
Birdsong passed by in an instant, and people on the roadside could only hear a few scales.
Chu Feng's nervous mood finally calmed down, exhaled, and tilted his head slightly: "This time, it's really troublesome Miss Qi."
He couldn't see Qi Da's expression, and he didn't hear her reply.
With a slight smile, Chu Feng didn't say anything more.
Of course he didn't know that this kind of thing was riding with someone, even for Qi Da, it was the first time.
She looked at Chu Feng's side face, looked at the confusion that the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and then she heard her own heartbeat, plop, plop.
A trace of heat slowly surged from his cheeks, Qi Da frowned, grabbed the reins, clamped the horse's belly, and moved forward concentratingly.
……
……
There is a cup of tea on the table and a bamboo mat under the table.
The tea is still faintly hot, but the bamboo mat is wiped over and over again with the clean water that has just been hit, even if it is just standing next to this bamboo mat, it will make people feel cool.
The shopkeeper Huang of Fan's calligraphy and painting store was standing on the edge of the bamboo mat at this time, but he didn't feel any sense of coolness, but because of the tension in his heart, he was slightly hot, and his heart was beating suddenly.
Huang shopkeeper is also in his forties, and he has worked in a calligraphy and painting shop of Fan's scale for nearly 30 years, to be honest, there are not many high-ranking officials and nobles who have seen him, and he can say a lot about his body.
He can talk and laugh with the government officials of Tokyo Prefecture, he can go to the family banquet of the head of the forbidden army, and he can make a familiar face in front of several court attendants.
He knew a lot of officials, and a lot of officials knew him.
It can be said that in the city of Tokyo, he Huang shopkeeper can be counted as a character all the way.
People with some identities are naturally more casual in their daily lives.
Among the guests who came to Fan's Calligraphy and Painting Shop, there were actually very few who could be entertained by Shopkeeper Huang in person, but it was obvious that the Ma Gonggong in front of him was one of them.
When Ma Gonggong stepped into the door of Fan's Calligraphy and Painting Shop, Huang Shopkeeper stepped forward to greet him with a smile, gave a salute, and wanted to say something with a smile, similar to "Ma Gonggong has not been here for a long time, and he misses it very much". But before he could say it, the shopkeeper Huang found something that surprised him, and these words were blocked in his throat.
When the father-in-law entered the door, he only bowed his head slightly at the yellow shopkeeper, and then immediately turned around, bowed with a smile, and invited a richly dressed man behind him in.
The man entered the door with his hands in his hand, and he was about to find someone when he opened his mouth, where did the shopkeeper dare to slack off, and asked carefully, but found that this noble man couldn't even tell the name of the person he was looking for.
I couldn't help but feel a little helpless for a while, but the shopkeeper Huang himself knew that Ma Gonggong, who could make things in the palace, be very respectful, and the ones who nodded their heads must be several distinguished figures.
He didn't dare to think about being a son of the world or anything like that, just thinking that he was probably a royal relative who had just entered Beijing, and in short, he must be a character who was different from ordinary people like himself.
After carefully asking the other party about the size and appearance of the person he was looking for, and hearing the other party say that he had sent a fan, the shopkeeper Huang patted his head and immediately understood that this noble person was looking for Chu Feng.
I can't help but wonder in my heart, could it be that this noble person regretted giving the fan that day, and he wanted to come back at this time? Or maybe Chu Feng said the wrong thing that day and offended, and this noble person wanted to settle the old account?
All kinds of speculations were circulating in his heart, and Huang Shopkeeper naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied to Chu Feng that he was resting today and was not in the store. He introduced himself and said that whatever it was, it was the same as him.
"Oh, is that young man's name Chu Feng? Something familiar. The noble man frowned obviously, not very satisfied, and only told the shopkeeper Huang to go and find the person back, and it didn't matter if he waited in this store.
Shopkeeper Huang hurriedly sent someone to Mr. Wenduan's house to invite, and after a while, someone came back to answer, saying that Chu Feng had gone out of the city early in the morning to play.
The noble man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking that this kid's life was also leisurely. After thinking about it slightly, he felt that this matter was really boring without Chu Feng's words, so he shook his head, asked about the mountain where Chu Feng was located, and instructed lightly: "That Wangjing Mountain is only five or six miles away from Beijing, and it won't take much time to call it back." You send someone to call, I'll look at the calligraphy and paintings here at will, and so on. ”
The shopkeeper Huang had a difficult face, and glanced at Ma Gonggong, who was also standing aside, wanting to get the other party's relief. But Gonggong Ma gave him a look and told him not to disobey the orders of the nobles.
Shopkeeper Huang had no choice but to come down and arrange for Qi Da, who happened to be in the capital, to do this matter.
And on his side, he naturally served the nobles with good tea and water, and according to the instructions of Ma Gonggong, he took out some precious calligraphy and paintings for the nobles to enjoy.
But no matter how fast Qi Da was looking for someone, it took nearly an hour to come and go.
The shopkeeper Huang looked at the noble man lying lazily on the bamboo mat, almost falling asleep, nervously not daring to move, and a drop of sweat slowly slipped from the door of his head to the tip of his nose. (To be continued.) )
