Chapter 439: Paper Kite
The two sisters got out of the car together, Liu Yan was wearing a hat, although she was not too worried that someone here would recognize her and block the sun.
The paintings of this man are landscapes and people. What Liu Yan found interesting was that he also drew cats and dogs.
Most people draw more flowers and birds, but not too many cats and dogs. Someone in the previous dynasty came out with an idle book called Tanuki Slave Ji, which talked about how interesting and well-behaved a few cats he raised, and there were a few pictures in it, but Liu Yan felt that the painting was not very good, the cat was very dexterous, and the cat on the painting was much more dull.
The cat painted by this person is a black cat, lying on the ridge of the wall, with a lazy tail, pale yellow eyes, a crescent moon behind him, and a slanting dead branch next to the painting. Although the painting skills are average, this black cat is very vivid.
Seeing Liu Yan looking at the painting, the young man in front of the painting stall said, "Does the girl like this one?" Do you want to take it off, and the girl will take a closer look? ”
Liu Yan asked him: "Is this cat real, or did you come up with it?" ”
The man was embarrassed: "There is indeed such a cat, I borrowed the house in the temple, this cat often haunts the backyard of the temple, and I can often see it on the wall and roof when I endorse books at night." ”
"Well, well drawn." Liu Yan asked for this one.
Then she also asked for an extra picture of the lotus flower and swimming fish in the jar, no need to ask, this should also be the jar and lotus in the temple.
When the bean soup was paid, the young man was still embarrassed, saying that Liu Yan bought two and should be cheaper for her.
Liu Yan and Liu Fang are two people who are happy.
Liu Fang whispered: "Another person who is stupid in reading, always feels that asking for money is vulgar." It's not bad to sell paintings like him, without losing money. ”
Liu Yan said seriously: "Exactly." If he can win the spring, he has to remind his father that he can't send such a person to the household department. ”
This man sold two paintings, and after collecting the money, he actually closed the stall.
Liu Fang asked him if he wanted to go back, he said: "There is a poetry meeting in front of him, all of them are talented people from all over the state, I don't know when such a grand event will be there next time, it must not be missed, if the two girls are fine, they can also go and have a look." ”
Liu Fang was speechless.
"All those who do business are like him, and they all have to drink the northwest wind."
So he's not a trader.
"Shall we go to the poetry club?"
Liu Yan shook his head.
She's seen a lot of poetry and whatever, and it's not new at all. Sometimes the poetry meeting is purely a drinking party, and sometimes those people compete for the limelight and not only speak evil words against each other, but they can actually fight, which is really nothing to see.
Liu Fang also felt that it was better not to go.
After all, when these talents hold a poetry party, they must have singing and dancing, and wine is indispensable. In this way, the scene is afraid that it is a little chaotic, after all, some "talents" can not cover the skin of the talented people as soon as they arrive in front of the wine.
"Then let's go and put the paper kite too," Liu Fang said, "by the way, let go of bad luck." ”
It is said that the paper kite is released, but in fact, the person who waits puts it up, and then hands the spool to them.
The paper kites they brought by themselves looked different from others as soon as they were put away.
Liu Yan's paper kite is a big gold ingot, and Liu Fang's is a swallow.
Gold ingots! It's big, fat and shiny, and when you put it up, I'm afraid that half of the people in the lake will see it.
There are few people who don't like things like gold, but no matter how much they like them, there are few who make paper kites so straightforward and undisguised.
At least among the paper kites flying in the world now, Liu Yan is the most unconventional.
Liu Fang asked: "Is this the work of the next person, or is it your idea?" ”
"Of course it was my idea." Liu Yan asked her rhetorically: "Your paper kite of the swallow, was it painted by your brother-in-law for you?" ”
Liu Fang was slightly embarrassed, but when she saw the smile on her face, she knew that she was actually quite happy.
"He painted it. This person, it's rare to use him once, what else is he talking about......"
The gold ingots are so cute, Liu Yan is a little reluctant to let it go.
Liu Fang also said not to let it go, wouldn't that also let go of the wealth?
Liu Yan thought for a while: "It seems that there is a saying called what?" Is it safe for people to go to wealth? ”
"It would be a shame to let this go."
Liu Yan was amused by Liu Fang's look of being obsessed with money: "Sister, this is a paper kite, and it's not a real ingot, so don't be so sorry." ”
As a result, before Liu Fang could speak, he heard someone not far away say in a weird manner: "I don't know who it is, even a paper kite has to be made into gold and silver, what is the love of money like life, today is an eye-opener." ”
Such sour words, in fact, Liu Fang has never heard less.
Liu Yan is also too lazy to worry about the same people. The mouth is long on other people's faces, and she can say a few words if she likes to talk, and she will not be able to tolerate others to say two words.
The bean soup glanced at the two girls over there, and then at his own princess.
The princess acted as if she hadn't heard.
Okay, it's inconvenient for the bean soup to make his own decisions.
What's so bad about money? Look at the two girls who are also silk and satin, gold, silver, pearls and jade, aren't these all money in exchange? Enjoy the benefits of money, don't be afraid of money.
"Eh, look over there." Liu Fang pointed ahead.
There is a boat slowly rowing over, the boat is not big, not the kind of flower boat with wine, meat and singing and dancing, or an ordinary small ferryboat, there are only three or four people on the boat, there is one standing in the bow of the boat, wearing a green cloth robe, and a hat made of reeds and straw is buttoned on his head, such a peculiar dress does not look awkward, but it is very casual and free.
Liu Fang said to her: "That's Wang Zhi, it's a coincidence." ”
It turned out that it was Wang Zhi.
The boat was not far from them, but it was not too close, and it was not clear what the people on the boat looked like, but the appearance of him standing in the bow of the boat and facing the wind was indeed good.
Another man came out of the cabin, pointed to the gold ingots in the sky, and said, "Look, that kite is a little interesting." ”
Their boat slowly stopped on the shore, and there was no need to take a springboard, and several young scholars relied on their dexterity to jump ashore one by one.
Liu Fang knew two of the three people - she lifted the corner of the veil and greeted Wang Fang and the young scholar behind him: "Coincidentally, you are also here to swim in the lake?" ”
The young man behind Wang Zhi said with a smile: "It's not a coincidence, I'm afraid that half of the city will come to the lake today." By the way, what about Brother Zhao? He didn't come with you? ”
This person Liu Fang knows, but Liu Yan doesn't know.
"He's not going to be idle today." I'm afraid that I won't be idle for a long time to come.
Through the slightly fluttering veil, Liu Yan looked at the young man in front of him.
Wang Zhi is indeed as his name suggests, like Zhilan Yushu.
That sense of déjà vu came back to the surface.
When looking at the portrait, Liu Yan felt that this person seemed to have seen him, but it was indeed impossible to know him. Wang Zhi was far away in Zhanzhou and had never been to the capital before.
