Chapter Twenty-Three: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

"This painting is a stroke of genius, which can be compared with my Chaoyan Shilang!"

Yan Shilang is Yan Liben.

There is a rumor that Du Qinglian's words and Yan Liben's paintings are the two uniques of Chang'an.

There are people whose paintings are comparable to Yan Liben?

For a while, all around the pier were moved, and they all wanted to come to watch.

The old man inevitably crowded up and hung up the painting to display it in public.

For a while, the dock suddenly became lively. Most of the people gathered here are well-known literati and scholars in the Chang'an area, and most of the literati and scholars also have their own "unique" temper.

Suddenly, a person in the crowd shouted: "This is Du Ti Zi, I have seen Mr. Du's Du Ti Zi, and only Mr. Du can write such a charm in the world, the previous person was Mr. Du." ”

Everyone tried to find Du He's figure, but found that Du He had already gotten on the boat and was far away.

Someone else shouted: "In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Your Majesty decreed that Princess Changle would be married to Mr. Du, and Princess Changle is good at calligraphy and painting, will that woman be ......?"

"Princess Changle!"

One by one, they all exclaimed.

"Today, I can see the painting of Princess Changle, Mr. Du's words, it's not in vain!" Everyone expressed similar sentiments.

Someone with a heart has put their minds on this calligraphy and painting.

"Uncle, I'm willing to pay a hundred silver cakes to buy this painting!" At the beginning of one person, everyone would care, and then the price was raised, and the price was higher than the other, and it became a live auction, and the final price even mentioned 1,300 silver cakes, which really became a golden thing.

The old man put away the painting and said loudly: "My young lady said, this painting will be returned to the original owner, if Mr. Du has no intention to take it, it will be hung in the main hall of the drunken fairy boat, the drunken fairy boat will be opened, my young lady is willing to travel with you to the hibiscus pool." ”

In the lavishly decorated drunken fairy boat, a girl leaned on the bow of the boat, looked at the shadows in the distance, and sighed: "Only she is worthy of him!" ”

Duho swayed his oars and paddled towards the middle of the lake.

Their boats appear to have been used exclusively for swimming in the lake, and although they are rudimentary, they are practical. There is a cloth tent in the middle of the boat, which is used to cover the flames, but does not affect the vision, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Leaning on the side of the boat, but felt that the boat was swaying lightly, and looked into the distance, only to see that Chang'an City was red and noisy in the distance, and the lake where they were located was quiet and quiet, as if they were in two places.

The bright moonlight shone in the middle of the lake, and I only felt that there was a moon in the sky and a moon in the water.

The cabin is equipped with wine, food, charcoal and fire, which shows that the owner is well prepared, and Du He is even more happy that there are fishing rods and bait in the cabin, which also shows that the owner is delicate.

"Do you know how to fish?" Du He looked at the fishing rod a little moved, he lived in the countryside when he was a child, often went fishing, the deepest impression was when he was twelve years old, the rising water washed away the reservoir upstream, he caught a grass carp weighing ten catties. If he hadn't started to practice internal skills at that time, he wouldn't have had the strength to fish it ashore.

Fishing was already a distant thing in his memory, and now when he saw the fishing rod in the cabin, his heart also moved.

Princess Changle had already removed her face towel at this time, revealing a shocking face. She shook her head.

"Come, I'll teach you!" Du Ho took the fishing rod and put bait on the hook, telling her what to pay attention to when fishing.

It's not that hard to fish, and they're not professionals, so they don't have that many requirements, as long as they can catch a fish. Princess Changle is gifted and intelligent, and she has already mastered the trick with just a little guidance, her eyes staring at the water buoy, motionless.

Suddenly, the buoy went underwater, and Princess Changle shouted in surprise, it was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she was so panicked and overjoyed that Du Hejiao forgot everything: "Hooked, hooked, what to do, what to do?" ”

Du He didn't intervene, just pointed to the side, "Pull up slowly, don't force it when you can't pull it, let it go, and then pull it again!" ”

With a "whoosh", the heavy fish surfaced.

Du He's eyes were quick, he reached out to catch the fish and threw it into the bamboo basket on the side.

Princess Changle was overjoyed, and danced with joy.

"I've caught a fish, I've caught a fish!" Although it was just a fish, it was the first time she had gotten it herself, and she was naturally overjoyed and indescribable.

"Fishing is the most important thing to be calm, you will scare the fish away if you scream like this!" Du He still put on the face of the master, pointing.

"Hmph, what's the smugness? I caught the first one! Princess Changle was in a happy mood, and she also let go of her original dignity and snorted proudly.

Du He's face was a little ugly, which really hit her, thinking about how the master could lose to the apprentice, and looked at the bait more seriously.

"Here we go again......"

"Article 3 is ......"

"Haha, hooked......"

At first, Princess Changle still needed Du He to catch fish and bait for him, but after a few times, she learned to get it herself, and she no longer needed Du He's master.

Du He became more and more depressed, and finally when Princess Changle caught the sixth, he patted his thigh and said: "I understand, the fish here must all be male, and they all are interested in seeing it, so they only bite your hook, not mine." ”

Princess Changle laughed out loud.

While they were talking and laughing, there was a loud noise on the lake.

Du He looked intently, and it turned out that a giant boat had collided with a boat swimming in the lake.

The boat naturally couldn't stand the impact and turned upside down, and a man and a woman on the boat fell into the lake, and the giant boat also shook for a while.

Du He froze and moved the oar.

The man on the boat knew how to water, and he lay on the bottom of the boat with the girl in his arms, and used the capsized boat as a pontoon.

At that moment, a group of people stepped out of the deck of the giant boat. The lights on the giant boat were bright, like daylight, illuminating everything clearly.

The group on the deck turned out to be mostly strangely dressed Turks, and they were led by a woman with red lips and white teeth, quite pretty, wearing a middle-surname dress, but for some reason, it made people feel a little disgusting.

Looking at their demeanor, Du Hexin shouted: "Not good! "I'm afraid these people are not easy people.

Sure enough, the woman saw the two people floating on the water, and screamed: "Thief boy, don't you have eyes!" ”

As soon as he spoke, Du He in the distance immediately made a stirring spirit, and understood his previous feelings, that guy was actually a man, but he looked like a woman, and the thick voice unique to the male surname when he opened his mouth was immediately revealed.

The person who was hit seemed to be a nerd, and in the face of the angry scolding of the little white face, he apologized kindly and admitted his mistake.

The little white face shouted angrily: "your mother, I soiled the master's clothes, how can the master spare you!" Call me ......" Under his command, six or seven people took long bamboo poles and beat them the two people floating on the lake, and directly knocked them off the boat.

The nerd exclaimed, "Don't...... Don't be like this, you want to beat me, Yun'er can't water! He endured the pain and the cold, and took the woman in his arms, and the long bamboo pole hit the nerd on the back one by one.

"How can it be!" Such a change made Du He look indignant, and Princess Changle was also pale in disguise.

It's just that they are far away from each other, and they can't do anything to save them, so they can only row a small boat in a hurry.

The little white face seemed to be psychopathic, and in the face of the nerds in the wailing, they actually laughed proudly, and the laughter was extremely harsh.

Du He suddenly saw the fish in the bamboo basket, reached out and grabbed a small fish of about five centimeters, and shot violently at the big mouth of the little white face.

The little white face laughed immediately. Du He was annoyed that his methods were vicious and ruthless, and his attack was also extremely heavy, and he directly punched the fish into his throat.

The little white face and throat were blocked by the fish, and he couldn't breathe, so he fell on the deck and couldn't stop rolling.

Seeing this, the rest of the people were greatly frightened, and they also gave up continuing to beat the nerd, and surrounded the little white face.

Du He took the opportunity to rush to the rescue, and the nerd also hurriedly took this opportunity to swim to Du He's side. When the two sides approached, they pulled the two up with their oars.

The climate of this winter is cold and windy, and the water in this lake is biting.

The nerd and the woman were both frail, and one by one they were shivering from the cold, shaking like the upper body of a great god, and they kept swinging.

"What to do!" Princess Changle is a little at a loss!

"Make a fire and take off their clothes, or they will freeze to death!" At this critical juncture, fortunately, Du He still kept calm.

He first took off the nerd's wet coat and hung it up as a curtain.

After wiping the water from the other party's body, he put his coat on the nerd's body. On the other side, Princess Changle also took care of everything, took off her fur and put it on for the girl.

"Changle, you warm the wine to keep them cold, I'll go get a few clothes!" When he said the last sentence, he was already gritting his teeth.

The rampant of that little white face is no less than that of Li Chengqian, the prince!

He drove the boat forward, estimated the distance, and dropped the oars on the lake.

"Husband, do you want to?" Princess Changle was pale with fright, not to mention that the giant boat was nearly as high as nearly a zhang, but they were also ten steps away from the giant boat here, where could manpower cross it?

Du He didn't wait for Princess Changle to speak, and with a sharp arrow like a string, he leaped four steps away, and with the help of the slight buoyancy of the oars, he moved forward two steps again, and landed on the overturned boat, and kicked violently with both feet, and his body rose more than a foot and jumped on the bow of the boat.

Princess Changle was dumbfounded, and a trace of fascination flashed in her eyes, the Lang Jun she fancied was really good!

Everyone on the deck was taken aback and startled by the sudden arrival of Duhe, and they couldn't understand how he came up.

The little white face had already spit out the fish stuck in his throat with the help of his subordinates, and seeing that Du He showed such a hand, he didn't dare to act rashly, and said in a hoarse voice: "This strong man is reasonable, and he is satisfied in the Prince's Mansion of the East Palace, I don't know what ...... is."

He didn't finish his sentence!

Du He had already laughed out loud and said sharply: "The Prince's Mansion, it's the Prince's Mansion again!" Gratified...... You're the one who sells your ass to the prince? ”
