Chapter 43: Ichiro Picking Flowers
General Xin nodded to Yue'er as he left, leaving an approving look.
At the end of the song, people are scattered.
In the garden of the Frost Leaf Pavilion, only two people were left standing opposite each other in the end.
These two people are Yue'er and Cao Gongzi, or Cao Gongzi broke the silence, he said carefully: "Miss Yue'er, why don't you even want to see me in the morning?" ”
"The little girl doesn't dare."
"Why?"
Yue'er thought for a while and said, "Actually, Yue'er doesn't want to owe Gongzi too much favor, because I don't know what I can use to repay you in the future." She said this, but in her heart she felt that she was making excuses.
Cao Gongzi sighed.
"It turns out that the girl is afraid that she owes her son too much favor and will not be able to reciprocate, so she refuses to see me?"
"It's not that I don't want to see it, but I just think it's inappropriate to come to see a girl who hasn't left the cabinet as a son."
"What's wrong, Scholar Su also accepted Qin'er as a disciple, if he hadn't been demoted and released, now he will talk about poetry in Zuixiangju, if you think it's inappropriate, worship me as a teacher, and I'll teach you to draw and write."
Yue'er looked at Cao Gongzi, a little angry, and said: "It turns out that Cao Gongzi wants to accept disciples, and the qualifications of that girl's calligraphy and painting are stupid, I'm afraid I will disappoint you." ”
"No, no, the girl may have misunderstood me."
"Oh?"
Cao Gongzi smiled slightly, picked up a book with dark yellow pages on the stone table, shook it twice, and said, "Girl, do you remember the painting that was written yesterday?" ”
""Sitting Alone in the River"?"
"Yes, do you know "Luo Shen Futu"?"
Yue'er had vaguely heard about it, but she still shook her head, she had no interest in studying these, but the Cao Gongzi in front of her seemed to be quite interested.
"I don't know, but what is the relationship between "Sitting Alone in Linxi" and "Luo Shen Futu"?"
"My dynasty painting to landscape flowers and birds for more, few characters, "sitting alone in the river" although nominated characters, but is still a landscape work, "Luo Shen Futu" is the Eastern Jin Dynasty Gu Kaizhi's hand-me-down work, the world thinks that this is the crown of ladies and gentlemen's paintings."
Yue'er knew that this Cao Gongzi called himself a double idiot, if he opened the floodgates to paint, he didn't know how long he would go, so he hurriedly interrupted him and said, "What does this have to do with Yue'er?" ”
Cao Gongzi stood up and shook it.
"It's also arrogant, the biggest wish in the next year, is to paint a "Royal Garden Listening to the Qin" to compare with "Luo Shen Futu", but the temperament of a lady in the painting is inscrutable, yesterday when I saw the girl, suddenly brightened, so please girl, you help me into a painting!"
Yue'er thought that Cao Gongzi was interested in herself, but now that she said the reason, she suddenly became angry and angry, she looked at Cao Gongzi, trying to tell how true his words were.
Cao Gongzi didn't seem to feel the strangeness in Yue'er's eyes, he opened the book in his hand, and said while flipping through it: "Look at it, that's it, please agree to the request below." ”
The book was illustrated with charcoal and ink pens, most of them women, with different expressions and curvaceous expressions.
Although these paintings are drafts, the characters are vivid, although Yue'er is angry, she is still attracted to the past, Cao Gongzi turned to the last page, and the woman in the painting seemed to be undressed, half of her body was naked.
Yue'er was taken aback, her face was full of shame, Huo Di stood up and turned around, and said, "You, you don't want Yue'er to be a usher, right?" She knew that the visitors of Windy City were lowly women, who had to show their skin and be unobstructed in order to attract customers, and that there were also visitors for artists to paint, which she felt was shameless.
"Don't get me wrong, girl, it's not a usher—"
"You can't attract any customers, and you can't give it to your son!"
Yue'er said hatefully, Cao Gongzi understood what she was thinking, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, no, my listening to the piano is a lady's painting, some people listen to the piano, some people dance, I painted these in order to facilitate memory and wave it." ”
"So, I'm just putting on a show and letting Childe draw it?"
"Exactly, exactly."
"No, I can't be drawn like that."
"What does it look like?"
"That's what you look like in your book—"
Cao Gongzi suddenly understood, and hurriedly took out a charcoal strip, scribbled a few strokes on the manuscript, and said: "That one is not finished, you see, is this so?" ”
Yue'er turned around and peeked at it, and sure enough, the woman in the painting was wearing a cloak and looking like a lady.
"Look at it, that's it, the lady's picture is an elegant work, and attracting customers is a vulgar way in the market, how can it be compared?"
"The favor that Childe is talking about, is this request?"
"Not bad, not bad."
Cao Gongzi's eyes dodged, and he seemed to be a little flustered, Yue'er looked at him, and thought hatefully in her heart: "If you are really a painting idiot, don't come to me!" ”
"Okay, if you just become a lady in the painting, then Yue'er will agree to the invitation of the child, but you must not paint me as something else!"
"Of course, of course."
"Okay, then how about this Qingyue'er after the sword competition?"
"No problem, we'll make up our minds—"
"It's a deal!"
After saying this, Yue'er thought of the expression of the thirteenth princess looking at Cao Gongzi just now, and suddenly smiled: "By the way, the princess of the big bird country asked you to watch her compete with the sword in nine days, will you come?" ”
"Come, come, I'll find a way to come."
Yue'er pursed her lips, looking like she was going to be angry, and Cao Gongzi was busy explaining.
"I'm not here to see the princess of the Great Bird Country, I, I'm coming to see you, okay?"
Yue'er snorted lightly, playfully left a smile, and turned to leave.
When Cao Gongzi saw Yue'er's departing back, he felt a little lost in his heart.
The wind of late autumn is clear and cold, and Xiao Xiao is sassy.
The night slowly fell.
North of the city, the prison.
"Click-click-"
The sound of footsteps stopped in front of the door of a separate cell, which was dark and damp and eerie.
"Liang Yilang, someone has come to visit the prison—"
The lights came on, and the jailer's voice shouted.
A white shadow curled up beside the stone pillar in the cell, and he didn't move when he heard the voice.
"Hey, Liang Yilang, are you dead, don't squeak yet!"
The white shadow still didn't move.
An old woman's voice said, "Let me in, the old man wants to talk to him alone." ”
"Okay, mother-in-law, you remember the time, this is a repeat offender who will be beheaded in a few days, and the visit time must not exceed one stick of incense!"
"Yes, sir, my mother-in-law knows."
The light flashed, and the jailer stuffed a heavy thing into his hand, and when he looked down, it was a piece of white silver, more than ten taels, and immediately smiled: "Okay, then you can say it, don't say it for too long!" ”
The cell door opened with a bang, and a figure walked in.
The jailer locked the door outside and walked away playfully.
"Master Liang, are you okay?"
"Hmph, who are you—"
As soon as the shackles moved, a hoarse voice sounded, the voice was cold and cruel, and a little erratic, as if it came from hell.
"Hehe, Master Liang, I heard that you escaped from the prison of Dali Temple last time, and this time you were in the prison, it is really better than the first, where are you going to go next time?"
"There's no next time, Liang is in a serious case, and the next time he is arrested, it is estimated that he will be executed, haha, so this is the last time-"
The voice laughed wildly, as if the prison was a place where he could come and go as he pleased.
"In two days, you will ask for the autumn queen, and you can still laugh, the old body is really admired!"
The voice laughed.
"If Ichiro is not in this kind of place, how can people from outside find him, and how can I take over business?"
"Oh, in this way, you deliberately sneaked into the prison, why did you hear that you got the daughter of an adult in the Criminal Department this time, and you were arrested by the people of the Imperial City Division?"
"Hehe, the Imperial City Division is a good one, none of the people in the six doors are not rice buckets, say, what business do you have to do?"
The Imperial Castle Division is an independent branch of the Kyoto Praetorian Guard, and its power and ability are extremely great, but this Liang Ichiro actually dismisses it.
The woman's voice chuckled dryly, and said, "How do you know that the old body is here to talk about business, not to send you on your last ride?" ”
"Hmph, if you give me the last ride, why do you have to bring some wine and meat, will you come empty-handed?"
