Chapter Eighty-Six: The Little Statue
Gu Xun likes to study calligraphy and painting on weekdays, and heard that his friend Lu Tanwei has made a new portrait of "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest", even if he is busy in Shangshu Province, he has to take the time to come over to appreciate it, so he had to pretend to be sick and ask Pei Fengzhi for leave.
The painting has been painted for many days, and it is not a new work, but Gu Xun is looking at it for the first time today, he took leave and came out of the palace, hurriedly went home and changed into a purple shirt, and then came to Lu Tanwei's mansion.
He has a good relationship with Lu Tanwei, Lu Fu has been here many times, and he doesn't need the concierge to go in and pass the word, so he went straight to Lu Tanwei's study and shouted: "Brother Tanwei!" ”
"Zi Geng?" Lu Tanwei was sitting alone in the study drinking, and when he saw him coming, he was overjoyed, so he got up to greet him and said with a smile: "I'm worried that drinking alone is too boring, I didn't expect you to come, Zi Geng, you are really my confidant." ”
As he spoke, he put his arm on Gu Xun's shoulder, and the two hooked their shoulders together, as if they were brothers, Gu Xun looked disgusted, only pushed him away, and said, "I'm not here to drink with you." ”
"Don't drink? Then what are you still doing to me," Lu Tanwei was slightly drunk, and walked to the bookcase crookedly, one hand propped up on the bookcase, supporting himself to stand, and the other hand was still holding the wine jug, as if he couldn't put it down.
Gu Xun smiled, and said bluntly: "I heard that Brother Tanwei only made a painting of "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" a few days ago, and I came here this time to thank you for borrowing it to open your eyes." ”
Lu Tan raised his finger slightly and pointed at Gu Xun, and said with a smile: "I knew that you must have come for my painting!" ”
Gu Xun sneered and said, "Brother Tanwei, can you take out the painting?" I'll just take a look. ”
"Since Zi Geng opened his mouth to mention it, it is naturally possible," Lu Tanwei said, and stretched out the wine jug to Gu Xun, and continued: "As long as you drink with me, this painting can be given to you." ”
Since ancient times, literati and writers have liked to meet friends with wine, not to mention that this Lu Tanwei is an out-and-out drunkard.
Gu Xun snatched the wine jug in his hand, threw it on the bookcase on the side, and said, "Brother Tanwei, you know that I am not strong enough to drink. ”
"Eh," Lu Tanwei retorted, and then took the wine jug of the third bookcase, and said, "Which reader is not good at drinking?" What's more, you are a man in officialdom. ”
"On weekdays, I can't avoid socializing, just drink a little, but now I can avoid it."
Lu Tan stretched out his hand holding the wine jug slightly, leaned on the bookcase and staggered around, and said with a smile: "The painting is in my study, you can find it yourself." ”
Gu Xun glanced at him, and then rummaged through the scrolls on the bookcase, Lu Tanwei leaned aside as if watching a play, and when he saw him pick up a painting and was about to open it, he quipped: "But think about it, I will only give you three chances, if you don't find the right one three times, you must drink with me." ”
Hearing this, Gu Xun didn't dare to open the painting while holding it, he looked sideways at Lu Tanwei, and complained: "Brother Tanwei is really getting more and more tricky, how can he look like a woman." ”
When Lu Tanwei heard this, he immediately walked over, snatched the painting in Gu Xun's hand, and said: "I don't like to hear what you say, there is a woman who is as addicted to alcohol as me, but you, who don't drink at all, are a little wife." ”
Gu Xun was annoyed, so he immediately snatched the wine jug in Lu Tanwei's hand and said, "Who said I don't drink a drop of wine!" You really haven't seen me drink," he said, and he tilted his head and took a sip of his wine.
"That's it," Lu Tanwei knew that he would get drunk after three glasses and pour five glasses, lest he drink too much and then he would have to rely on him to play drunk, so he hurriedly snatched the wine back, and then pointed to the cabinet in the corner, and said, "That painting is in the cabinet, you can just take it." ”
Gu Xun was overjoyed, arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Tanwei," and after speaking, he strode towards the cabinet.
There are many masterpieces of Lu Tanwei hidden in the cabinet, Gu Xun picked one casually, and when he opened it, he saw that it was Lu Tanwei's "Return to the Speech" made last year, so he rolled it up again, and hurriedly took another one, but after opening it, he was stunned, he looked at the girl who painted the light Luo small fan fluttering fireflies, and said in surprise: "Why is she ......?"
Lu Tanwei saw that his face was full of suspicion, and he also walked quickly, and when he saw the person in the painting, he was also surprised, "Do you recognize her?" You've told me before that you've never seen her. ”
Gu Xunyuan was only surprised that Lu Tanwei had drawn Xie Zheng, but when he heard Lu Tanwei's words, he became more and more confused, his face was full of confusion, and he raised his head to look at Lu Tanwei.
Lu Tan was slightly surprised, "I know, you must have seen your father when he went to the Qi Palace's palace to propose marriage to her." ”
Propose to her? Gu Xun was stunned, he lowered his head stiffly, and looked at the person in the painting in disbelief, she was actually Xie Yu!
All that came to Gu Xun's mind was Xie Zheng's appearance, thinking of her at the Lu family's birthday banquet; I thought of her by the lake again; And she is on the royal street......
On the royal street, she asked him in surprise if he was Gu Qilang.
In front of the lake, she asked him if he was disgusted with Chenjun Xie, and asked him if he had seen Xie Yu.
At the birthday banquet, she disguised herself as a man and ignored him.
Gu Xun suddenly remembered that when she was in Qianhu that day, as soon as she saw Brother Tanwei, she hurriedly left, and he also said that she was mysterious, it turned out that she was afraid of being recognized by Brother Tanwei......
I see! I see!
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Tanwei was stunned when he saw him, lest he was angry that he had collected a small portrait of Xie Yu in his mansion, and he was a little weak for a while, and hurriedly explained: "Don't think about it, this painting was originally made by Xie Yu herself, and she asked me to send it to her house after I finished the painting, but before I could send it, she went to the border gate, and later, you know." ”
Gu Xun didn't seem to hear it, so he only unfolded the painting a little more, and saw that the five words "Xie Yanghou Little Statue" were written on the eyebrow page.
He rolled up the painting in a daze, thoughtfully, Lu Tan didn't know why, and then said: "Don't be angry with my brother for this painting, if you don't feel comfortable in your heart, I will burn this painting immediately," he said, and snatched the painting, and was about to take it to burn it, Gu Xun suddenly grabbed him again, and said indifferently: "Keep it." ”
Gu Xun said, turned his head and left, Lu Tan shouted slightly: "Zi Geng! ”
Unexpectedly, Gu Xun didn't even look back, Lu Tan was slightly puzzled, looked down at the picture scroll, and muttered, "How do you look like you're in the middle of an evil spirit." ”
Gu Xun returned to the house, hurriedly walked to the study, and found Xie Zheng's snow scene of Zhoushan in the drawer, he stood in front of the window, his eyes fell on the painting without moving for a moment, he saw a little distracted, and Xie Zheng's laughter and talk, always ringing in his mind, Lu Tanwei's "Little Portrait of Xie Yanghou" also appeared in front of him from time to time, and his father's last words sounded in his ears: Wujun Gu and Chen Jun Xie are not allowed to intermarry for generations, and if the children and grandchildren disobey, they will not die well......
"Seventh brother!"
Gu Jiulang's call pulled back Gu Xun's thoughts, Gu Xun rolled up the painting, and then followed the prestige, and saw Gu Yu walking over with his mother Gu Lu's support.
"Mother," Gu Xun called lightly, hesitated, and asked hesitantly: "Gu family's children, is it really not possible to intermarry with the Chen Jun Xie family?" ”
"Seventh brother, what are you talking about, then Chen Jun Xie Yu retired from your relatives at the beginning, why are you still thinking about the Xie family!" Gu Yu also remembered Xie Yu's hatred.
Gu Lu's was the same, her face was serious, and she said expressionlessly: "Gu Xie's two families are intermarried, don't even think about it!" ”
"The mother is too careful, and the child just asks more," Gu Xun forced a smile, but there was a faint pain in his heart.
