Chapter 6: A beautiful woman fell from the sky
On weekdays, Yu Qingtan will come here from time to time to see the calligraphy and paintings, and will buy one or two pieces when he sees it, and after a long time, he will become familiar with the shopkeeper, and he is a big customer.
Yu Qingtan entered the box and took out the painting straight to the point, and the shopkeeper knew that she was quite a talented woman in the capital, and she also admired her calligraphy and painting very much, so she bought it at a high price of 900 taels per calligraphy and painting.
The price was negotiated, and just as the shopkeeper went out to get the money, there was a sudden burst of laughter at the door of the box, "Yo, it's a little beauty!" ”
"This appearance is indeed extraordinary, no wonder Brother Meng said that there is a beauty who has entered the calligraphy and painting workshop, so he has to pull me to take a look."
Yu Qingtan glanced at the door of the box quite uncomfortably, but saw that the two people who had just spoken had already entered the box, staring at her with squinting faces.
"Presumptuous! Who let you break in! You know who is sitting in it! While speaking, the painting screen had already stopped in front of Yu Qingtan.
Meng Xiyuan smiled and pulled the picture screen open, "My son doesn't know, and I don't want to know!" ”
Looking at the capital, who would dare to oppose him? His sister is the favorite concubine of His Majesty today! With her sister's support, as long as he wants to get it on weekdays, no one dares to stop him.
"What do you want to do?" Picture screen cautiously wanted to go over again to protect his young lady, but was stopped by another person.
As soon as Yu Qingtan wanted to speak, he saw the shopkeeper walk in from outside the door and said: "Distinguished guests, we are a serious shop here, you can choose at will if you need it, if you don't need it, please move."
"Hey, do you know who I am? Looking at this capital, no one dares to talk to Young Master Ben like this! ”
"Hey, Brother Meng, don't worry." Qin Kan stopped Meng Xiyuan in time, turned to Qing Tan and said, "I just overheard that you want to sell calligraphy and paintings, right?" ”
Yu Qingtan turned his head unhappily, Qin Kan was not angry, opened the fan in his hand and shook it twice and said, "How much silver is sold by the shopkeeper of these calligraphy and paintings, I will pay double the price, how about it?"
"I'm sorry, I've already promised to sell this calligraphy to the shopkeeper." After Yu Qingtan finished speaking coldly, he got up and was about to leave.
was stopped by Qin Kan, "This young lady, you have to think clearly!" ”
Yu Qingtan sneered, "I've already thought very clearly, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I don't believe that you can do anything illegal!" ”
"Hehe, interesting!" Meng Xiyuan suddenly burst out laughing.
Yu Qingtan didn't want to talk nonsense with the person in front of him anymore, so he picked up the calligraphy and paintings on the table and was about to leave.
Meng Xiyuan glanced at Qin Kan, Qin Kan stepped forward and was about to hold Yu Qingtan, Yu Qingtan turned around quickly, but she didn't want Meng Xiyuan to reach out and grab her arm, she used all her strength in disgust to break away from Meng Xiyuan's hand.
The painting screen was grabbed by Meng Xiyuan's attendants behind him and couldn't move, struggling anxiously.
After Yu Qingtan broke free, Qin Kan had to step forward to catch it, seeing that he was about to catch the beauty, Yu Qingtan's feet were unstable and hit the corner of the table, his whole body was crooked, and he fell straight down from the window.
Yu Qingtan felt that he might die, and he might be lame.
Just as she was thinking about whether she would die or be lame, a pair of hands suddenly appeared on her waist.
What catches her eye is a sharpened chin, a faint ambergris burrows into her nose, and a red neckline connects to the white neck, and between the neck, there is a male Adam's apple.
"A beautiful woman fell from the sky?"
A slightly lazy voice sounded in Yu Qingtan's ears.
"Miss, are you alright?" The sound of the painting screen pulled Qing Tan's thoughts back.
Yu Qingtan realized that he was still being held in his arms, and his cheeks turned red.
"Multi-...... Thank you for saving your life. ”
Qiao Yu glanced at Meng Xiyuan and Qin Kan who were outcropping by the window upstairs, thought for a moment, and looked down at Yu Qingtan: "How do you want to thank you?"
"Huh?" Yu Qingtan didn't react for a while, his eyes were slightly stagnant.
Qiao Yu's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "Then let's have lunch with me." ”
The words fell, and before Qingtan could come back to her senses, Qiao Yi put her down.
After returning to his senses, Yu Qingtan saw that the picture screen was still in the hands of Meng Xiyuan and Qin Kan, and couldn't help but look at Qiao Yi as if asking for help.
Qiao Yu ordered while arranging his clothes, "Mumu, bring them down." ”
When Mu Mu brought the two down, the two of them had blue noses and swollen faces as if they had changed their faces.
Seeing that Yu Qingtan was fine, Huaping hurriedly ran to her side.
When the two of them saw Qiao Yu, they shuddered in unison, they seemed to have provoked their ancestors.
Naturally, they have all seen Qiao Yu and heard about him, and their families often tell them to take a detour when they see Qiao Yu, otherwise they will be the next big wrongdoer.
"It's okay to be ugly, it's your fault to be scary, and you collided with this! And ye say, What shall I do with you? Qiao Yu's voice was lazy, looking at the two of them casually.
Meng Xiyuan gritted his teeth, "You... What do you want? ”
"Humph! collided with our Hou Ye, frightened our Hou Ye, and stained our Hou Ye's eyes, all of which are evidence of your murder of Hou Ye! You have to compensate our Hou Ye for the cost of scare! Mu Mu opened his mouth and said.
Meng Xiyuan thought for a moment, "How much do you want to lose?" ”
Mu Mu took out the small gold abacus from his arms expressionlessly and said while calculating, "Collided with Hou Ye for eight hundred taels, caused our Hou Ye to be frightened by one thousand taels, and polluted Hou Ye's eyes for one thousand five hundred taels!" A total of three thousand three hundred taels! The two of them each compensated our Hou Ye 3,300 taels! ”
"You're obviously a pit!" Qin Kan scolded angrily.
Qiao Yu's thin lips hooked, and the smile in his eyes gradually faded: "This is to trap you, so what!"
"You are not afraid of being ......" Before Qin Kan finished speaking, he was stopped by Meng Xiyuan on the side: "We will pay!"
Qin Kan may not have seen Qiao Yu's methods with his own eyes, but Meng Xiyuan has seen it, when he was a child, he went to the palace with his mother to see his sister, and saw Qiao Yu cut off someone in the palace, and in front of everyone, he kicked the head as a ball with a deep smile.
Since then, as long as he sees Qiao Yi, he will unconsciously take a detour, this person is ruthless, he can't fight!
The two sent someone to deliver the silver, and let the attendants help them to flee as if they were staggering away.
The excitement dispersed, and everyone left one after another, for fear that Qiao Yi would hit him with his idea.
The painting screen picked up a few paintings scattered on the ground, scattered the dust, and hesitated: "Miss, this painting is a little dirty, and a corner of the painting scroll has been broken, so I can only wait for it to be repaired and then bring it to the shopkeeper."
"You drew this?" Qiao Yu suddenly reached out and picked up the painting in his hand, and asked with interest.
Yu Qingtan nodded: "It was painted when I was idle at home before."
"Butterflies, sparrows, green bamboos, green mountains, the paintings are not bad." Qiao Yi said as he watched.
Yu Qingtan couldn't help but ask, "Master Hou also knows how to paint?"
"I understand a little." Qiao Yu's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.
Mu Mu looked at his Hou Ye's expression as usual, and couldn't help but admire his Hou Ye's thicker and thicker skin.
Before Yu Qingtan could answer, Qiao Yu turned his eyes and asked, "You want to sell paintings?"
"Hmm." Yu Qingtan nodded.
Qiao Yu put away the scroll, smiled, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "I like this painting very much, sell it to Benhou."
It was the first time Yu Qingtan saw a man smiling so charmingly, but without a trace of impurities, which made people blasphemous.
In a distraction, the hesitant voice of the painting screen suddenly sounded, "But...... The young lady has agreed to sell the painting to the shopkeeper ......"
"Well, it's a pity that I just promised the shopkeeper to sell the painting to him."
When Yu Qingtan refused, the shopkeeper of the clerk walked towards the two, and after seeing Qiao Yu, he waved his hand again and again, "Since Hou Ye likes this painting, I won't take advantage of others, let Hou Ye be." ”
This great ancestor, he can't afford to mess with it!
Qiao Yu raised his eyes slightly, "Since this is the case, then Benhou will buy it, Benhou will not take advantage of Miss Yu, just now the shopkeeper said how much, I will double it on this basis." ”
Mu Mu couldn't help but be a little surprised, it was the first time for his own marquis to make such a generous move, I am afraid that he had just slaughtered a sum of silver, and he was happy in his heart.
"This ...... How is it good, in this way, I am afraid that the courtiers took advantage of the Hou Ye. ”
"If it weren't for Miss Yu, I wouldn't have made any money just now." Qiao Yu was full of interest and asked Mu Mu to take the scroll and ordered Mu Mu to send the silver to the Taifu Mansion.
Mu Mu rolled his eyes and left happily.
He didn't seem to see the maid Liuying next to Yu Qingtan today, that little girl should be in Taifu's Mansion!
After Mu Mu left, Qiao Yu pointed to the convulsive restaurant not far in front of him and said, "I heard that the dishes in this restaurant are good, is Miss Yu interested in trying it together?"
"Well, today's meal is clear, and the right to thank the Hou Ye for saving his life." Yu Qingtan secretly tiptoed and looked up at Qiao Yudao.
For Qing Tan, Qiao Yu is a little taller, a head taller than her, the closer she is to Qiao Yu, she has to tilt her head to speak, which is really inconvenient, so she secretly rubs her feet to make herself look like she can't lack the momentum of the concubine of Taifufu's mansion.
Qiao Yu quietly approached Yu Qingtan's side.
Yu Qingtan glanced at the red shoulders beside him, and called the painting screen as if deflated, "Let's go." ”
Coming to the Jingque Restaurant, Yu Qingtan followed Qiao Yu to the box on the second floor.
The box is divided into four seasons, and Qiao Yu takes her to winter.
"Does Master Hou usually come here?" After sitting down, Yu Qingtan asked curiously.
Qiao Yu sat down lazily, leaning his hands half-against the window, his eyes fell on Qingtan, "Well, I like to come here in my spare time." ”
Seeing Qiao Yu staring at him, a flush quickly appeared on Yu Qingtan's cheeks, but he still calmed down.
For a moment no one spoke.
Qiao Yu's gaze hadn't moved away yet, Yu Qingtan finally couldn't help it, and took a deep breath, "Master Hou, in addition to coming here to eat in your spare time, what else do you like to do?" ”
"Hmm...... Ben Hou likes fishing, kite flying, visiting the flower and bird market, and our raccoon dogs! When the words fell, Qiao Yu suddenly remembered something, and added: "Ben Hou still likes to play Konghou!"
"It turns out that Hou Ye has such a wide range of interests, it is not easy to learn, and the courtiers have only occasionally heard the masters play, and Hou Ye is really smart." Yu Qingtan praised from the bottom of his heart.
Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows, "It's not difficult, if Miss Yu is free, come to my house another day, I can teach you a lesson." ”
"Courtiers have been stupid since childhood, and only calligraphy and painting can be worthy of some attainments." Yu Qingtan shook his head.
Joke, if she goes to Qiao Yu's mansion, it is estimated that the few deposits in Taifu's mansion will go to Yongchang Houfu.
