Chapter 224 [Downcast Street] (I)
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "If you don't open it, it's off, and if you're unhappy, you naturally care!" ”
Princess Anping had already given him a thumbs up, and the old man on the side smiled and said, "You two young people are really talented and beautiful, and you are really a good match." ”
One sentence made Princess Anping embarrassed, and she shook her head a little embarrassed and said, "The old man misunderstood." ”
An old woman on the side came up and handed Hu Xiaotian a cloth tiger, she smiled and said, "How could my old man be wrong? At a glance, you know that the two of you are in love and heart to heart. ”
Hu Xiaotian took the cloth and laughed dryly, talented and beautiful? This pair of old people's eyesight is too powerful, Princess Anping remembered that Wen Boyuan was still behind her, and hurriedly walked forward. After Hu Xiaotian thanked the two old men, he took his prize and left, and then saw that Wen Boyuan's face had become iron-blue, and of course he heard the words of the elderly couple just now. secretly scolded this old guy in his heart for having no eyes, how could the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves be a good match with a lowly eunuch and a talented woman?
Princess Anping deliberately widened the distance between her and Hu Xiaotian, but Wen Boyuan pointed to a lantern behind her and said: "Big rows and small rows, the price is cheap!" He looked at Hu Xiaotian and said, "I guessed this lantern riddle!" ”
A group of people all looked at him, but Wen Boyuan only looked at Hu Xiaotian, and said word by word: "Cheap bones!" ”
Hu Xiaotian was very happy in his heart, this product was obviously jealous, seeing that Princess Anping was so good to herself, this product was so jealous, your uncle, you are a cheap bone, we are a little two shopping, you are such a big light bulb following behind, it is really too eye-catching!
Although Wen Boyuan had bad intentions, his riddle guessed correctly. After all, he has a family background, and he is also a person with some talents.
Princess Anping was full of interest, and guessed a few lantern riddles one after another, and also got a lot of prizes.
The snow stopped at some point, and the lights were bright ahead, and there was a Tsing Yi Xiucai in a tattered robe selling paintings there. Although there were a lot of piles on the table, it was a pity that no one cared about it, so in order to attract customers, Xiucai spread out the paper on the table and splashed ink on the spot.
Princess Anping is also a good painter, and she rarely goes out, so she feels new in everything, so she leaned over to watch, but saw that the Tsing Yi Xiucai painted a plum picture. The pen is bold, the ink color is criss-crossed, but there is some momentum, but the dot dye outline is not delicate enough.
Princess Anping said to Wen Boyuan: "How does Brother Wen look at this painting?" ”
Wen Boyuan has specialized in flower and bird painting for many years, and is a personal disciple of Liu Qingshan, a master of flower and bird painting, and his vision is also extraordinary. Hearing Princess Anping ask her opinion, she smiled indifferently: "The graffiti work is a skill." There was a hint of disdain between the words.
That young man Xiucai couldn't help but blush when he was so evaluated. Raising his head, he glanced at Wen Boyuan angrily and said, "This brother is also a person who knows how to paint, so it's better for you to paint a picture for me to see." ”
Wen Boyuan did not speak. actually walked over and took the pen from that Xiucai's hand. Xiucai saw that he really wanted to paint on the spot, so he re-laid a piece of rice paper on him. But I saw Wen Boyuan walking the dragon and snake, and with a few strokes, he sketched out a white plum that was oblique from the side. As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was one, and even Long Xiyue couldn't help but secretly praise Wen Boyuan's kung fu in painting flowers and birds.
The young man saw the white plum painted by Wen Boyuan. Immediately speechless, he took a closer look, and said in a low voice: "This white plum is very Mr. Liu Qingshan's demeanor, this son is really extraordinary, and he is under Yang Lingqi." Dare to ask the son's surname. ”
Wen Boyuan didn't pay attention to him at all, put the pen on the pen stand, turned around and left, in order to express his disdain for that Xiucai, who was treated so coldly, his expression was extremely embarrassed.
Princess Anping was a little unbearable, she glanced at Hu Xiaoangel, Hu Xiaotian understood her intentions, walked over and took a silver ingot and put it on the table. But he didn't expect that the young man Xiucai picked up the silver and handed it back to him: "This son, although I, Yang Lingqi, am poor, but I just sell some calligraphy and paintings to make a living, not Huazi." ”
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "I didn't say that you are called Huazi, this ingot of silver is to buy your Lamei Tu, by the way, your right arm seems to have been injured, which must have caused a lot of impact on you." When Yang Lingqi returned the silver, he saw a deep scar on the back of his hand, although it had healed, the function of his right hand must not have been fully restored.
Yang Lingqi said: "Let the son laugh." ”
Hu Xiaotian pointed to his palm and said, "Can you let me see your hand?" ”
Yang Lingqi stretched out his hand, the five fingers of his right hand could not be fully extended, and Hu Xiaotian judged that he was because the knife wound on the back of his hand had cut off part of the tendon, and the subsequent recovery was not satisfactory, so he left sequelae. Hu Xiaotian turned his gaze to his left hand again, Yang Lingqi's left hand was always hidden in his sleeve, from Hu Xiaotian's gaze, he understood the meaning of the other party, and smiled indifferently: "The left hand is gone, the son doesn't have to look at it." ”
Hu Xiaotian, the young man in front of him, couldn't help but feel a burst of sympathy, and he said in a low voice: "It's not easy to draw such a picture with such a hand, I bought this Lamei picture." ”
Yang Lingqi said: "I understand the kindness of the child, but I ......"
Hu Xiaotian put the ingot of silver on the table again, grabbed the Lamei picture and turned around and left.
didn't take a few steps, but Yang Lingqi chased after him from the rear: "Son, please stay!" ”
Hu Xiaotian stopped, thinking that Yang Lingqi would catch up and repay the money again, but saw Yang Lingqi holding a painting in his hand and handed it to Hu Xiaotian and said: "This son, if you insist on buying it, this painting is my old work before, so take it." ”
Hu Xiaotian took the painting and slowly unfolded the scroll, this is a small piece of flowers and birds, a few bamboos on the picture, a strange stone, a lonely bird standing on the stone, standing near the water, there are a few swimming fish in the water, the composition is ethereal, the brush and ink are refreshing, the whole picture is full of interest, whether it is with the pen or with the ink, it has reached the point of perfection. Hu Xiaotian knew that this painting was definitely a masterpiece at a glance, and when he saw Yang Lingqi's name written on the screen, he accidentally saw a line of small characters, on the ninth day of the first month of Gengshen year, Lingqi painted at his home in Jingming Lane, Qingyun, Xichuan.
Although this painting made Hu Xiaotian amazed, it didn't make him feel too much shock, when he saw the payment on it, he found that this Yang Lingqi was actually from Qingyun County, a feeling of meeting an old man in another country came to his heart, Hu Xiaotian was surprised: "Yang Gongzi is from Qingyun County, Xichuan?" But it sounded like Yang Lingqi was speaking without an accent over there.
Yang Lingqi said: "My ancestral home is not there, but I have lived in Qingyun County, Xichuan. ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Yang Gongzi has ever been to Qingyun Bridge, has he ever been to Hongyan Tower for dinner?" ”
Yang Lingqi heard Hu Xiaotian mention several landmark buildings in Qingyun County, and he couldn't help but show surprise on his face: "Childe has also been to Qingyun?" ”
Hu Xiaotianxin said that not only have I been there, but I also worked as a Qingyun County Cheng there.
In fact, after Yang Lingqi asked those words, he knew that he was asking redundantly, if Hu Xiaotian hadn't been to Qingyun, how could he know these details so clearly? So he bowed and said, "Dare to ask the son's surname?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't have your surname Hu." ”
"It turned out to be Hu Gongzi."
At this time, Long Xiyue and several people in the distance stopped to look at this side, and they couldn't figure out why Hu Xiaotian was so interested in this poor scholar. Wen Boyuan was obviously a little impatient, frowned, and said to Zhanpeng: "You go and urge him." ”
Zhanpeng was about to go over, but Long Xiyue said, "You don't need to go over." In her opinion, Hu Xiaotian must have a reason to stop.
Hu Xiaotian always felt that the name Yang Lingqi was very familiar, as if he had heard someone mention it in the past, and carefully searched the memory in his mind, he suddenly remembered that once when he met his second brother Xiao Tianmu for the first time in Hongliuzhuang, Xiao Tianmu mentioned that there was a Yang County Cheng who was upright before him, and was later killed by a traitor, as if his unknown son was called this name, Hu Xiaotian's memory was extremely amazing, and he even remembered such a small thing clearly, he looked at Yang Lingqi and said in a low voice: " There used to be a county adult Yang in Qingyun County, I don't know if Yang Gongzi denied it? ”
Yang Lingqi's expression on his face when he heard Hu Xiaotian mention this matter became inexplicable, he pursed his lips, suddenly turned around and fled, he couldn't even take care of his own calligraphy and painting stall, he just ran two steps, there was a person in front of him blocking his way, Yang Lingqi almost hit the man's chest, looked up, it was not Hu Xiaotian or there, Yang Lingqi said in a trembling voice: "Who are you?" Why do you have to be so me? ”
Hu Xiaotian saw him like this, and he already knew that he had guessed his identity, this Yang Lingqi had fallen to such a point, and he didn't know how many human hardships he had gone through, he sighed and said: "Yang Gongzi don't need to panic, my name is Hu Xiaotian, and I once took over the position of my father in Qingyun." ”
When Yang Lingqi heard Hu Xiaotian's name, he looked at him suspiciously: "You...... You are Hu Xiaotian? ”
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Yes, it's down!" ”
Yang Lingqi's expression calmed down a little at this time, and he said softly: "I have heard the name of an adult, and I know that you are a good official......
Hu Xiaotian said: "Why did Yang Gongzi fall to the point where he is now? What happened to you? ”
Yang Lingqi sighed and said, "This matter is a long story. He looked at his calligraphy and painting stall, and at this time, someone went over to buy paintings, Yang Lingqi said: "I have to go to work, Hu Gongzi, your friends are also waiting for you." ”
Hu Xiaotian nodded: "Where does Yang Gongzi live now?" ”
Yang Lingqi did not answer his question directly, and said gloomily: "I have been setting up a stall here to sell paintings for the past few days. (To be continued......)
