Chapter Eighty-Nine: Drunken Lying in the Mountain Stream

Things have to start from Xiao Xiao's early years, the Xiao family at that time was really one of the best in the Qingshui shop, because at that time the Zhang family had not returned to the Qingshui shop to take root, Xiao Xiao was naturally a big man in the shop, and he would be respected by people wherever he went. Anyone who is the descendant of the Xiao family will be successful, if it does not contain the family tree, it means that as long as the head of the Xiao family must achieve something in his life, if not, he cannot be recorded in the family tree, this rule is almost the Xiao family will abide by from generation to generation, but it is also strange that almost all the heads of the Xiao family from generation to generation will do something in their lives, and when they come to Xiao Xiao, it is as if everything has been done by the previous ancestors, I really don't know what else to do, Xiao Xiao wanted to study hard to gain fame, But he was stopped by Xiao Xiao's father, saying that if the family business was huge, if he obtained fame, he would be committed to the court and had no time to take care of the affairs of the family, so it would be difficult to have both, so he didn't let Xiao Xiao go to the test to get fame, Xiao Xiao was easy-going by nature, and when he saw that his father tried his best to stop it, he gave up this idea, and followed his father to take care of all the affairs of the family, as for Xiao Xiao's mother, she died when she gave birth to Xiao Xiao, and even Xiao Xiao herself didn't know what her mother looked like, and many years later, Xiao Xiao's father was also in a serious illness. Xiao Xiao had no choice but to take over the burden from his father to manage everything of the Xiao family, although it is difficult to be a family, but Xiao Xiao can barely maintain the knowledge accumulated when he has followed his father to take care of the family for many years, and when Xiao Xiao becomes an adult, even if he really becomes the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Xiao also remembers the ancestral teachings of the family, thinking about making a career, but looking at the current but there is no place to show his strength, Xiao Xiao has to go out for a walk every day in his spare time to see and relax, Xiao Xiao loves calligraphy and painting very much, When I see any good-looking wonderful pen or beautiful painting, I will want to buy it back and enjoy it, but when someone starts to like calligraphy and painting, he can't answer, Xiao Xiao occasionally has doubts about when he started to like calligraphy and painting, but he racked his brains and had no answer, so he simply walked away, so generally people who want to tie up with Xiao Xiao will go to Xiao Mansion with some celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and Xiao Xiao himself also understands that the meaning of those people is the so-called: "Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace", Xiao Xiao will be careful to listen to the intentions of those who come to visit, one day Xiao Xiao is also idle, sitting at home looking at the lotus leaves in the pond to admire, and suddenly someone came over and said: "Someone outside the old man's door asks to see!" Xiao Xiao heard the sound and saw that it was the housekeeper at home who spoke: "Oh! Steward Zhou! Who is it? "Back to the master! It's Zhao Gongzi looking for you" Steward Zhou replied, Zhao Gongzi's real name is Zhao Xu, he was Xiao Xiao's confidant and friend at the time, and his family lived not far from Xiao's house.

As soon as Xiao Xiao heard that Zhao Xu was coming, he set off to take Steward Zhou to the door to greet him, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a person standing on the road with a folding fan, and the folding fan shook lightly and the hair fluttered in the wind. Ah! Why is it so slow! I've been waiting for this for a long time! Xiao Xiao looked at Zhao Xu and smiled awkwardly: "Look at Brother Zhao Haihan, how much neglect!" I don't know what to do today? "Hey! This is not a county town of what kind of cultural spinning and calligraphy and painting appreciation, I see that Brother Xiao usually loves calligraphy and painting, so I want to tell you, let's go together to see if you Brother Xiao is interested! Zhao Xu fanned the fan and looked at Xiao Xiao with a smile and said, Xiao Xiao listened to Zhao Xu's words and thought about it Anyway, now he has nothing to do, and it doesn't hurt to see this calligraphy and painting, so he nodded and agreed, and turned around and asked Steward Zhou to prepare his own carriage and horse, and the two went to the county seat together. Brother Xiao, don't you feel the heat? Xiao Xiaozheng was looking at the scenery and suddenly heard Zhao Xu's question, turned his head and said, "No!" Brother Zhao! "You're so good! I don't sweat when it's hot, I'm dying of heat! Zhao Xu followed Xiao Xiao and glanced at the scenery outside and said, "Brother Zhao! The heart is calm and naturally cool! You're just too impatient to sweat now, we're just going to see a calligraphy and painting exhibition, there's no need to be so anxious! Xiao Xiao glanced at the sweaty Zhao Xu and said, "Brother Xiao, what you said is light, who can be calm and naturally cool, those are pure hearts and desireless people, people like me must not be able to do it!" Besides, how can you not be in a hurry to see the calligraphy and painting exhibition! People only open this day, if we miss it, we may have to wait until when! Zhao Xu wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said, Xiao Xiao didn't speak after hearing this, tilted his head and looked at the green grass that was flying outside one after another, Zhao Xu saw that Xiao Xiao didn't answer, and it was not good to say anything else, after all, he invited people to come out and go together, and the reason why he wanted to do this was actually because he didn't have a carriage to go out at home, and if he went to rent, he would have to spend two silver taels and it would be very expensive, Zhao Xu wanted to see it carefully, and thought that the Xiao family had their own carriage to go out. And Xiao Xiao also happens to like calligraphy and painting, so Zhao Xu came directly to Xiao Xiao, but you have no way to explain this kind of thing, if it is explained, not only is it not good to spread out, but the relationship between him and Xiao Xiao has to be stopped, Zhao Xu had to find an excuse to tell Xiao Xiao, and it just so happened that Xiao Xiao had nothing to do this day, the two of them just closed their voices in the carriage, and the enthusiasm on the carriage slowly moved forward Zhao Xu's body also decreased a lot, looked outside and said to the coachman: "When will I be able to get to the place?" The coachman heard Zhao Xu's question through the curtain and replied, "Go back to Gongzi!" Half an hour to go! After hearing this, Zhao Xu nodded and replied, "Got it!" Then he looked at Xiao Xiao who was sitting on the side, Xiao Xiao still turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the carriage without saying a word.

Zhao Xu really didn't think about it a little and wanted to speak: "Brother Xiao! Didn't my little brother make a limerick poem last night, I'll read it to you! Xiao Xiao nodded and then looked at Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu cleared his throat and said: "The pond of water in the clear water shop, the lotus flowers in the pond of water, the lotus flowers come out after the lotus blossoms, the fairy girl is a celebrity, Brother Xiao, how about this limerick poem I made?" Xiao Xiao almost didn't laugh after listening to Zhao Xu's poem, and said with a smile that reached his throat: "It's okay!" But Brother Zhao, let's read more books in the future! In this way, Brother Zhao, you can make better verses! After listening to Xiao Xiao's words, Zhao Xu thought he was praising him, and hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Yes! That's good, but this reading or something, I really can't stand it, it's too annoying! Xiao Xiao looked at Zhao Xu's expression, shook his head, and muttered, "Fools are fools!" "Huh? Brother Xiao, what did you say? Zhao Xu obviously didn't hear Xiao Xiao's words clearly and asked, "Oh! It's okay" Xiao Xiao looked at the outside of the carriage again, Zhao Xu saw that Xiao Xiao ignored himself again and stopped talking, the carriage walked and finally arrived at the place, Xiao Xiao and Zhao Xu got off the carriage before and after, the coachman said that this road in the city does not allow the carriage to walk, and it must go around to the side gate carriage workshop to park, so I had to ask the two to walk into the city, Xiao Xiao didn't say anything else, anyway, this is all a normal thing, followed Zhao Xu and the two entered the city, the left and right lines made people boil, there were hurried crowds everywhere, and the three sects and nine streams were among them, You can't see the noble or the low, it's often all people, Xiao Xiao and Zhao Xu looked at the bustling crowd around them, and they didn't know where to go, after all, the city is very big, if you only rely on yourself to find it, it will definitely not be found for a while, Zhao Xu looked at the crowd and casually stopped a person and said: "This brother is so disturbing!" Can you ask for a way? When the man saw that someone had stopped him and heard that he did not look like a bad person, he said, "Oh! You ask! "My friend and I heard that there is a literary workshop in this city that exhibits calligraphy and paintings, but this is the first time we have come to this city, and we are not familiar with the location of the literary workshop. Zhao Xu said and looked at the person who was stopped by him, "Oh! You say there! Know know! Go straight down this road, and you'll almost be able to see it! The man opened his mouth and replied, Zhao Xu hurriedly thanked him and walked along the road with Xiao Xiao and the two, there were countless shops on both sides of the road, and the two of them stopped and looked at the things around them, and they didn't know how long it took to finally get to the position, Xiao Xiao and Zhao Xu looked around, although there were not many people, but they were not called few, idlers and inkmen all gathered here to comment on the calligraphy and paintings in front of them, and some wealthy people in the family came to buy paintings and words, Zhao Xu looked at the surrounding crowd and said to Xiao Xiao: "There are still a lot of people!" Brother Xiao, let's hurry up! lest good words and paintings be robbed by others! In fact, Xiao Xiao didn't plan to come to buy calligraphy and paintings, but just wanted to take a look, and Zhao Xu thought that Xiao Xiao would definitely buy calligraphy and painting if he liked calligraphy and painting, so they both looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the Wenfang house according to their own thoughts, Xiao Xiao looked at a few works that were not too good, and was shaking his head to go out to breathe, but Zhao Xu suddenly grabbed Xiao Xiao and said: "Brother Xiao, I just saw a painting, it is really a fine product, but my level is limited, I don't know if you can come and take a look!" ā€

Xiao Xiao frowned when he heard that it was Zhao Xu's eyebrows, you think that the poems made by Zhao Xu are like that, and this painting naturally can't help but say it clearly, but Xiao Xiao didn't want to refuse in person, so he nodded and agreed, anyway, it doesn't hurt to take a look, Zhao Xu saw Xiao Xiao nodding and agreeing, so he hurriedly took him all the way to the inside of the literary workshop, Zhao Xu pointed to the wall and said, "Brother Xiao is this!" Xiao Xiao looked up along Zhao Xu's point, a long scroll was hung on the wall, and a beautiful woman lying on the side of the stream was painted on it, and the wine bottle and glass next to her fell to the ground, it seemed that she should be drunk, the stream was gurgling and the beauty was sinking her feet in the water, and the mountains and forests behind her were slightly exposed in the distance, a beautiful beauty, Xiao Xiao only felt that his heart moved and he instantly fell into this painting, Zhao Xu saw that Xiao Xiao didn't squeak for a long time and waited for a while and said: "How about Brother Xiao's painting?" Xiao Xiao came to his senses and said after hearing Zhao Xu's voice: "This painting is indeed a good painting, but there is no inscription on this painting, and I don't know who painted it. Xiao Xiao was explaining to Zhao Xu, but someone came over and said, "This son seems to have studied painting!" Could it be that he is a big man!? Xiao Xiao looked for prestige, and a middle-aged man with a little fat stood beside him, Xiao Xiao looked at the person who opened his mouth and replied, "Oh! Contemptible people just have some love for this calligraphy and painting, so I often study these, but I can see some hairy heads, which is not a big hand in the painting! "Oh! That's it! By the way, I want to introduce myself! The contemptible surname Wang is the owner of this literary workshop! The middle-aged man said, "Oh! Wang Fang, disrespectful! Disrespectful! The contemptible surname is Xiao Mingxiao! Xiao Xiao replied after hearing the name of the visitor, "Oh! Xiao Gongzi! Just now I saw that Childe commented a lot on this painting, is it a love for it! If you want to buy it, you can also enjoy it! Master Wang looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Ah...... Yes, there is a little, but this painting was seen by my friend first, so ......" Xiao Xiaohua didn't finish speaking, Zhao Xu hurriedly said: "It's out of the way!" Out of the way! As long as Brother Xiao likes me, it's okay, that's right! I haven't explained myself yet! The contemptible surname is Zhao! It's Xiao Xiao's friend! After listening to this, the owner of Wang Fang nodded at Zhao Xu, Xiao Xiao was also a little excited after listening to Zhao Xu's words, and said: "Brother Zhao really gave this painting to a certain one!" Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Oops! Didn't you say it all! As long as Brother Xiao likes anything, I'm here to accompany you to see calligraphy and painting anyway! After listening to Zhao Xu's words, Xiao Xiao didn't say anything else, and said to the owner of the Wang: "Master, do you think this painting can be sold for more money?" Wang Fang Master looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Fifty taels!" After listening to the words of the owner of the Wang Fang, Zhao Xu was shocked and said: "This painting is actually worth fifty taels!" Xiao Xiao didn't take it seriously, took his money bag with his hand and said, "Okay!" As he spoke, he handed the money to the owner of the Wang Fang, and when the owner of the Wang Fang saw that the money was in his hand, he hurriedly sent a few people to take down the painting on the wall and wrap it and hand it over to Xiao Xiao's hand, Xiao Xiao saw that the painting had arrived, and he wanted to take Zhao Xu back, but suddenly he thought that the painting in his hand had no name and did not know who painted it, so he turned to look at the owner of Wang Fang and said: "I don't know if the owner knows the name of this painting?" And who are the people who do it? The contemptible people want to come to the door that day to ask for a lesson or two! Wang Fang Master smiled and looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "This painting is called Drunken Lying Mountain Stream!" (To be continued.) )
