Chapter 103: Out to Sea

Wen Zhen clearly saw Tang Xianzhi's brows furrowed.

There were also very few things that could make Tang Xianzhi frown, and she became interested almost immediately.

The guard had already come to the carriage and said, "Childe, there is a trace of a drunken cicada ahead." ”

Tang Xianzhi smiled, "I know this." There are too many business supporters. ”

Wen Zhen only felt that this name was familiar, and it took a long time to think about it, as if this was the first cultural celebrity in Dongtang? It is said that poetry, calligraphy, painting, engraving, etc. are all stunts, and one painting is ten thousand gold.

This person's real name is Shang Liu, and the drunken cicada is his number, and it is said that he can paint at the age of four, and the first painting is the cicada. The cicada is not on the tree, like a bat hanging upside down on the wall, but vivid, so that his drunken uncle thought it was a real cicada, took off his shoes to catch it, and later his uncle asked him why he painted a cicada hanging upside down on the wall, he said: "This cicada has been drowning in the wine country for a long time, and has been drunk for a long time." The original seven-day life expectancy is now only three days left. So a pit has been dug under the tree, and it is ready to be buried when it is drunk. ”

His famous drunkard uncle is a character who has been drowning in the wine country for a long time, and he was often persuaded and beaten by the elders in the family, but he never quit, and as a result, he was slapped on the left side of his face and the right cheek by a doll.

This matter was rumored to be a beautiful talk, and since then he has been known as a merchant drunken cicada. This person is really brilliant, but all the arts, as soon as he learns it, he is proficient, and he is known as everyone when he is a teenager. And this person's character, as can be seen from his teasing uncle at the age of four, is really sharp and wild, with friends all over the world, fans all over the world, but enemies all over the world.

But there are many enemies, but unless he is in the wilderness, no one can be unfavorable to him, because as long as he jumps on the table and shouts that I am a drunken cicada, there are countless people holding flowers high, their faces are flushed, and their eyes are full of tears.

His highest record was to walk all over the East Hall without money, which lasted for a year. He does not accept gifts from poor fans, but he does not refuse the pursuit of landlords and old wealth, stays in a large house every day, sleeps in a pink brothel at night, does not have to pay a penny for night crossing, and the prostitutes post it upside down. After all, if you sleep with a drunken cicada by a businessman, your value will double the next day.

In the first two years of Wen Zhen's arrival, there were new legends about him almost every day, boring ancient people, and it was rare to have a national idol who dedicated all the burning gossip fire to the man on the altar.

But not long before Wen Zhen came, this one suddenly disappeared, some said that he went to sea, some said that he had escaped after a huge blow, and some said that he had lived in seclusion, but Rao was so, Wen Zhen had not been here for a year, and he had heard his name several times.

Although my brother is no longer in the rivers and lakes, there are still my legends in the rivers and lakes.

The guards outside were also laughing, and said: "The businessmen suddenly appeared in Lexiang, and no one recognized it, but it was still discovered, and the whole Lexiang is now in chaos, and our car can't pass now, so we have to ask Gongzi and Miss Wen to get off the car and ......."

Wen Zhen suddenly hugged Tang Xianzhi's arm, his eyes brightened and he said loudly: "Ah, Shang Drunk Cicada!" My most admired business drunken cicada! Envy! Let's get out of the car and go find him, I'm going to get him for an autograph! ”

The guards outside the carriage walked away unexpectedly, and when the woman heard Shang Zui's name, she basically reacted in this way, which was not surprising.

Tang Xianzhi looked at her, then lowered his eyes to look at the hand she was holding her elbow, her eyes were slightly bent, and she smiled: "Okay." ”

Wen Zhen grinned and got out of the car very actively, thinking as he got out of the car, what did he mean by looking at that first glance just now?

No way, she and Tang Xianzhi are nervous every time they want to play tricks together, Tang Xianzhi is the most incomprehensible person she has ever seen, and almost no one can guess what he is thinking.

Yan Sui looks at ten steps one by one, such as a roaring and thousands of miles; And Tang Xianzhi is hidden, the clouds cover the fog, and there is no glimmer.

After getting out of the car, she had to squeeze into the crowd, the guards of the Tang family were already struggling to open the way in front, Tang Xianzhi also protected her, not letting the people around her squeeze and step on her, Wen Zhen smelled the smell of sweat around her and struggled to move forward while thinking, such a life, such a life without privacy and freedom, even if everyone is sought after, does anyone really like it?

Shang Zuicicada seemed to be still moving, because along the way, Wen Zhen had already heard that a tea shed had been crushed, the door of a restaurant had been crushed, countless people's shoes had been squeezed off, and an old man's stall had been squeezed into the river.

People kept holding pamphlets and shouting, "Everyone, write me a word!" ”

"Everyone! May I ask you that you have not been present for so long, where did you cultivate, and did you have any amazing works born? ”

"Everyone! Why did you suddenly disappear? Is it really because of emotional wounds? Drunken Moon Lou Mei Niang claimed that you spent a lot of money for her for several months, and she was the reason why you were sad and escaped. Is it true? ”

"Would you mind a few words with everyone? Tell us about your impressions from your recent hike in the mountains? ”

Those sharp voices were particularly harsh in the crowd, and Wen Zhen just wanted to scold when he heard it: Fuck you! Didn't you see anyone being forced to jump off the building?

She noticed that there were also people writing something quickly, passing it on to each other, looking excited. asked Tang Xianzhi, he said that this is a special group that specializes in making money by writing stories and legends related to Shang Drunken Cicada. They inquired about all the news of Shang Zuichan, and made all kinds of reasonable and unreasonable artistic processing, and sold them to the rich and idle young lady fans of the teahouse and Shang Zuichan. So much so that in the past two years, there have been fewer drunken cicadas, and several of these literati have starved to death.

So when he was discovered today, people immediately went crazy, and they all wanted to get first-hand news from him, so that they could make a small fortune by the way.

Wen Zhen wanted to try to slip away while there were many people, but he had already found that this was not feasible. She looked at the terrain around her, there was a long street in front of her, the top seemed to be impassable, there were rivers on both sides, she thought about it, and stood down on the arched bridge over the river. A few words to one of the guards.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to reach the end of the long street, and the drunken cicadas had nowhere to escape, and the crowd stood down layer by layer, countless people cheered and rushed forward, and a group of big men were sweating to maintain order and stop the crowd - like a star concert in this modern life.

At the moment when the crowd is at its most intense.

Suddenly there was a shout.

"Oh no, Shang drunk cicada jumped into the river!"

At this sound, the frenzied atmosphere suddenly condensed, and then erupted with a scream that was enough to rush into the sky.

The crowd was like ants on a hot pot, and after a period of chaos, there was a constant popping sound, and people kept jumping into the water in an attempt to save their idol.

However, no matter how many dumplings were placed in the river and how many laps the dumplings swam, the drunken cicadas who fell into the water in front of everyone's eyes suddenly learned to dive, and they disappeared from people's sight.

The crowd was still patrolling the waters on the other side of the long street. On this side of the arch bridge, a light boat shot in.

After passing through the bridge hole, this side is much cleaner.

There was a sound of water under the bridge, and a middle-aged man climbed onto the boat in a wet drench, and while desperately inhaling and coughing, he scolded: "Which bastard kicked the hell Lao Tzu!" ”

Wen Zhen went down from the bridge and saw the middle-aged man, different from the imaginary master of the fairy wind bones, this businessman has fine skin and tender meat, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although the corners of his eyes have wrinkles, but add a bit of mature man's demeanor, when he climbed on the boat, he was wet and a little embarrassed, but when he stood straight, his back was straight, although he had a displacent, but his bearing was not reduced.

Wen Zhen leaned down from the bridge and said with a smile: "Merchants, if you don't give you a kick, you still want to be squeezed to death in that pile?" ”

Shang Zuichan raised his head, saw Wen Zhen, his eyes lit up, and he beckoned: "That little girl, I see that you are very beautiful, but you are married?" If you are not married, I will give you a painting, and I will surely be able to get you a good son-in-law. What do you think? ”

"Then it's settled." Wen Zhen smiled, "But the good son-in-law doesn't have to." I have a ready-made one around me, we are going to go to Wuhai to get married today, to meet the master, it is really fate, I am also an admirer of the master, I don't know if there is this blessing, invite the master to the sea to watch the ceremony? ”

Shang Zui's eyes were brighter, and he arched his hand again and again, "Girl Hui has a blue heart, you should know my worries." Please also ask the girl to help! ”

Wen Zhen smiled again and motioned for him to hide in the cabin first to avoid being discovered. He and Tang Xianzhi got off the bridge, and the boatman who acted as the escort docked the boat, and the two got on the boat.

At this time, Shang Zuicicada had already taken care of himself, this person was probably also used to the kind of life that was not free to be watched at any time, so he could quickly adapt to the environment, and when he saw Wen Zhen enter the cabin, he wanted to thank her again, Wen Zhen stopped him, sat opposite him, looked at him with shining eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Master, how does it feel to cheer?" ”

Shang was stunned, but he didn't expect her first sentence to ask this, he was silent for a while, and said, "Life is better than death." ”

Tang Xianzhi smiled, his expression was clear, and he obviously felt the same way. Wen Zhen smiled even more happily. The more she laughed, the more bitter Shang Zui's face became. "The girl thinks it's ironic, right?" Fame is burdened, and it comes to this. I have lived this life for many years, and some friends and friends have told me that the people who pass through it are supported by everyone, and it is also a kind of protection for me, after all, when I was young, I was too precipitous and arrogant, and I offended the powerful, and no one could do anything to me when I walked in the crowd at such a time...... But such days are too terrible, every morning you will be woken up, someone will pick up your window to call you, someone will knock on your door, someone will throw things into your yard, the better one is to throw flowers and fruits, the sick one is to throw stones and kitchen knives, if you stay at a friend's house, the whole family will not be able to live in peace, and in the floating brothel, there will be people who will enter uninvited, quietly rent a house, and soon someone will come to hear the wind and rent your neighbor's house, the wall is full of people, and every move is under the prying eyes of others......"

He stopped, his face was entangled, and he didn't wait for Wen Zhen Tang Xianzhi's invitation, he grabbed the wine jug and drank it.

Too much depression accumulated in the bottom of my heart, so that when I saw the delicate woman opposite, I suddenly took off my guard and talked so much, but there are still many things that I can't say, it's hard to say, the young woman who met in Pingshui can't tell her that not only eats and sleeps every move, but also pees in the bath, someone will suddenly pop out of the head above the toilet and the bath, and take a ruler to measure his size, so scared that he peed his pants or almost drowned in the bathtub, and even worse, Once he met a woman, he fell in love, and when he was performing the ceremony of Zhou Gong, someone suddenly struck the gong, which shocked him so much that he almost didn't have a wind right away, and since then he has been in a state of collapse...... After this incident, he was ruthless, and would rather be chased and killed by the killer and be counted by the powerful than live this inhuman life under the eyes of countless people, so he disappeared for two years, and in the past two years, he has been clean and dangerous, he got rid of those pervasive harassment and prying eyes, and added a new injury and old injury that was hunted down......

He drank in a gulp, and the joy of hearing that he could go to sea to avoid the crowd faded awayβ€”what about going to sea? Do you want to drift on the sea for the rest of your life? He was afraid of water. Fame is tired, fame is tired......

Shang Zuicicada didn't speak, but Wen Zhen had been looking at him carefully, the man in front of him didn't look as sharp and sharp as the legend, high-spirited, but looked tired of vicissitudes, she saw countless subtle scars on his arms from his frosty eyebrows, from his slightly white sideburns to see his dark frowns, an idea that came out of her when she met him from the beginning gradually took shape.

"Master Shang." She poured wine for Shang Zui, "If you are tired of fame, you don't want to be famous." ”

Shang Drunken Cicada Huo Ran looked up at her, the light in his eyes flashed, and then dimmed.

Who doesn't understand the truth, but can it be done?

He is indeed a genius, he became famous at a young age, and he has handled all kinds of works, all of which are well-known in China, his worth has been raised higher and higher year by year, and his reputation has become greater and greater year by year, and his fans have spread from the emperor to the old woman, almost all over the country. Especially when a group of down-and-out literati have found a way to survive on his stories and legends, they become maggots who desperately suck blood on him, and they do not allow him to dim their light and affect their wealth, even if he has no news, they can also make up many bizarre stories out of nothing, and glorify him to be more mysterious and attractive, so as to maintain his unfading reputation, and then maintain their interests. And under the influence of such a long-lasting artificial star-making movement, he wanted to go down to the altar but could not get it.

Dongtang is not without everyone, but there is no one more suitable than him to be a legend, early wisdom, young fame, a wide range of and have extraordinary achievements, and a good image, just by virtue of the graceful style, it is enough to become countless girls in the spring boudoir dream, which is countless drooping old teeth shake bald everyone can not compare.

Tang Xianzhi is actually a master of music and law, and his talent is outstanding, but he is from a gate valve and has a noble status, no one dares to chase the light, and Shang Drunken Cicada is more unlucky, he has an ordinary background and no background.

Now that he is no longer alone, he is implicated in the livelihoods of countless people, who will let him go?

Shang drunk the cicada's wine even more fiercely.

Until he heard Wen Zhen's words.

On the other side, the sweet, well-behaved, seemingly scheming little girl whispered and laughed in a slightly seductive tone: "Actually, I have a solution." ”

Shang Zuicicada paused, then shook his head again, and said disheartenedly: "What can you do?" I've even done it myself! ”

He lingered in the flower building and indulged in wine, to a large extent, to be disappointed, but in those literati books who spared no effort, it was called poetry and painting.

"What about self-defilement? There's always a way to beautify you. But what if it is destroyed at the root? What if the idol collapses, and the personality collapses? ”

Shang Zuicicada looked up at Wen Zhen, not quite understanding what she meant by the strange words in her mouth.

Wen Zhen smiled and poured him wine.

"After all, businessmen make their debut with skills, and skills are the foundation of their lives. In the eyes of everyone, you are also extremely talented, and no one surpasses you. If one day, an unknown kid challenges you in public, and then you lose. What do you think will happen if someone spreads that you don't really have real talent and learning, and you have a nose and an eye for fame? ”

Shang Drunken Cicada's eyes really lit up this time.

Wen Zhen glanced at him, but sighed deliberately, "Oh, no. How much the literati pay attention to reputation, this is no longer self-defilement, it is self-practice, and it is to compensate for half of your life's reputation, which is too much. ”

"Oh no, no, no. I don't mind! Shang Zuician immediately said, "I have enjoyed the blessings and sufferings of fame in the first half of my life, and I deserve to lose everything and even suffer for it in the second half of my life." God knows I've had enough of days like this! Just now, when I was kicked into the water by your people, it didn't hurt to even think that I would be killed like this......"

"Oh no, no, no, don't think so, you still have a great time, and half a lifetime of freedom is waiting for you, why give up on yourself because of this disappointment?" Wen Zhen smiled like a witch who was divining, just a crystal ball.

"But," Shang was sad again, "where are I going to find that little-known young man who is good enough to defeat me?" It's not that no one has challenged me before, but they all lost badly, and after losing, they were hit even harder, and no one dared to challenge me in the future, and I couldn't deliberately lower my level, after all, everyone knows my style very well, and this carelessness has become me again, and I don't hesitate to damage my own feathers in order to give young people a chance, and then my reputation will go to the next level......"

Wen Zhen smiled and pointed to his nose, "Me! ”

Shang Drunken Cicada: "......"

……

"Have you heard of it, someone has challenged everyone again!"

"I heard it, I heard it! In five days, on this black sea, I will challenge the merchants, ah, what a bold newborn calf! ”

"I didn't expect that after several years, someone would dare to challenge everyone. Is it because everyone has retired in the past few years, and some people who don't measure themselves feel that they have a chance? ”

"Everyone just won't come out for a hundred years, don't practice, and those people won't be able to touch the soles of his shoes!"

"That's natural, but it's a clown's ear! So will you go to see it? If you want to go to the sea, you have to rent a boat, which is a bit far. ”

"Gotta see. It's not that it's for the clown, but how many years have you not shown your skills in public? Do you want to wait a few years to miss this time? ”

"Go, go, go, cheer for everyone! By the way, who is that clown, you want to be famous and want to go crazy, right? When he loses, throw him into the sea and tell him to swim back by himself! ”

"Exactly! It's an insult to everyone! Then we have to go, and you will be disappointed without us! ”

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

……

In Zhangxian County, Dingyao, and even Weicheng and beyond, there are countless similar discussions floating in countless corners, teahouses and restaurants, and Qinglou painting boats.

After the deliberate publicity of the Wen Zhen faction, coupled with the hard work of those "Shang Drunken Cicada Fan Group", "Shang Drunken Cicada Brokerage Company" and "Shang Drunken Cicada Five Mao Party", this news exploded in many nearby cities in an instant, and the associated explosion was the pity for Shang Zuichan, who was violated by the "nameless Xiaoxiao", and the hatred and contempt for the "nameless Xiaoxiao who wanted to be famous and went crazy without his own strength".

Driven by this pity and contempt, many people chose to go to the sea to watch the battle and cheer for idols. The fans of the drunken cicada are mostly celebrities and aristocrats, after all, most of the people who can afford to play with celebrity calligraphy, painting and carving are rich people, these illegitimate meals not only immediately opened a gambling game, and gambled on the drunken cicada to win with odds of a loss of 100, but also in order to get the results in real time, they hired big ships to go, and the members of the merchant drunken cicada brokerage company were naturally unwilling to be unwilling, and they had to take the lead if they wanted to get first-hand information, so they jointly organized a group to charter a boat, and went to several big ships, adding up to thousands of people.

That's what Wen Zhen wants.

She wants to use Shang Drunken Cicada's fame to attract rich people from the surrounding cities to Wuhai.

The more people, the more boats, and the more difficult it is to do what you want to do. What's more, if the audience is mostly celebrity, there will be more protective power.

In case of chaos, the identities of the prince and the imperial court officials are more effective than those children of distant states, right?

In addition, Yan Sui chased out of the sea alone, the target was too obvious, there were many people coming, and it was miscellaneous, so it was convenient to hide his identity.

Wen Zhen wasn't sure if His Royal Highness King Yi, who was afraid of the heavens and the earth, would hide it, if he needed such help, she would be hers, and it would be up to him whether he accepted it or not.

The idea she made was done in front of Tang Xianzhi from beginning to end, and it was useless to hide it, she couldn't hide it.

She hugged Tang Xianzhi's arm and said coquettishly to him, "Envy, getting married at sea, lonely and white in my heart is a little sad, I want to be more popular, after all, this is the most important day for people." ”

What can Tang Xianzhi say? If you say no, this "bride to be married" will have a chance to say not to marry immediately, right?

Of course, he agreed so much that he didn't seem to be reluctant at all, almost giving the illusion that this was his idea.

Wen Zhen felt for a moment that she was a demon concubine who was beautiful and misled the country, and Tang Xianzhi was the king who was not in the early dynasty.

Of course, this illusion of beauty will naturally dissipate when you see yourself in the mirror.

Hehe.

Wen Zhen bared his teeth at the person in the mirror.

What kind of demon concubine, I want to be the demon of this heaven and earth.

Stepping on Yan Sui, punching Tang Wu, a mouthful of flames spewed Lin Feibai!

……

Recently, the business of boat owners in Zhangxian County has been very busy.

There is a steady stream of people coming to the docks and hiring all kinds of boats.

The wharf is also very busy, arranging various ships to leave the port every day, and most of them are large ships.

On this day, the sun was shining, and the Tang family's low-key but luxurious ship slowly left the port, and the drunken cicadas on board stared at the crowd surging in all directions, their eyes like looking at a group of maggots possessed.

Wen Zhen looked around, looking for what might be Yan Sui's ship.

But because of her play, there are too many ships going to sea in recent days, and it is really impossible to be sure.

Tang Xianzhi tilted his head slightly, and his gaze didn't know where to fall.

With a trombone, the iron anchor was hoisted, the huge bow of the ship slowly moved forward, the water waves surged, and the sun ahead was bright.

Wen Zhen turned around.

On this sea, the waves are calm and calm at the moment.

……

The moment the big ship starts.

On a medium-sized boat, a pair of young men and women, with a few retinues, did not hurry aboard.

The girl was pretty and beautiful, accompanied by the young man, smiled and said to him: "Good brother, the gift you want me to prepare has been prepared, and a sister has helped me pick it, she has a good eye, and the bride will definitely be satisfied." ”

The upper half of the boy's face was wearing a silver mask with exquisite workmanship, and the lower half of his face was exquisitely lined, and his eyes were shining.

Hearing the girl's coquettishness, he lowered his head, pinched her cheek, and said with a smile: "What do you want people to do for you?" Isn't your vision the best? ”

The girl is shy, as if she is not letting go, her cheeks are dyed with peach blossoms, and her eyes are full of starlight when she looks at her brother.

The young man laughed casually, then turned his eyes away and looked at the Tang family building boat that was slowly leaving.

He has a slightly slender figure, a bright face, even if he wears a mask when he laughs, he also makes people feel slightly charming, although the tip of the chin is slightly fat, but between his actions, his bearing is calm and chic, and it makes people feel bright and clear.

He looked at it for a moment, then turned his gaze away, and turned his head to talk to the girl who kept talking to him.

The wind blew away his black hair, and he raised his hand to brush his fingers across the back of his neck, slightly lifting the collar at the back of his neck.

There, on the white skin, a little bright red is like a sharp corner.

……

------Off topic------

Knock on the blackboard and pay attention to the last paragraph, the last paragraph reveals a big message!

Shang Zuicicada has left a foreshadowing before, I don't know if anyone remembers.

Probably tomorrow this volume will end.,The beginning of the second volume is a group play.,A play where all forces gather to play a game of wisdom and wisdom.,It's quite challenging to write this kind of plot.,Squeezed out my Mimi's brain capacity.。

However, no matter how much effort the goose puts into it, readers probably like the kind of scene where the male and female protagonists eat, bathe, comb their hair and drink together?
