Chapter 4 The Peach Blossom Monk (1350 Monthly Pass Plus Update)

Peach blossom nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, peach blossom fairy under Peach Blossom Nunnery. The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money.

When you wake up, you only sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers. Half-awake and half-drunk, day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year.

I hope that the old man will die in the wine room, and he will not bow in front of the carriage and horse. The car dust and horses are full of fun for the rich, and the wine cup is rich in flowers.

If you compare the rich with the poor, one on the flat earth and the other in the sky. If the poor are compared to chariots and horses, he has to drive me to be idle.

Others laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it. I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, and there are no flowers and no wine hoeing fields.

A deep boudoir lady sat against the window, and after reading this "Peach Blossom Anthem", her eyes were full of admiration.

"It's really a beautiful poem, the Peach Blossom Monk really deserves to be the first genius in Jiangnan, and only he can write such beautiful poems."

Two years ago, a 'villa' in Taohuawu, Suzhou, was bought by a young man. This person called himself the Peach Blossom Monk, and after a period of time, his paintings, calligraphy, and poems were successively circulated in the world, making countless literati and rich daughters flock to him.

Zuo Zhan, the word is small and right, the number of peach blossom layman, the date of birth is unknown, the visual measurement is about twenty-five years old, the face is like a crown of jade, the eyes are like a star, the body is six feet long, gentle and elegant, anyone who has seen Zuo Zhan, can not help but be impressed by his bearing.

Zuo Zhan is a good person, calligraphy, painting, and poetry are unparalleled in the world, and they are so beautiful that they have no friends.

I heard that the emperor also saw Zuo Zhan's poems, calligraphy and paintings not long ago, and gave an evaluation of 'timeless style and naturalness'. For a time, Zuo Zhan's calligraphy and painting rose all over the country, and some people in the market had already shouted out 10,000 taels of silver to buy Zuo Zhan's calligraphy and painting, which was shocking. The reputation of the No. 1 talent in Jiangnan also automatically fell on his head, and no one plundered his edge.

And it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Zuo Zhan has not yet married.

The news came out that in the past few months, all matchmakers in Suzhou have almost stepped on the threshold of Zuofu. Countless daughters in the boudoir are looking forward to marrying Zuo Zhan and becoming the mistress of Zuofu. In this way, they can see Zuo Zhan's poems and paintings every day, and the red sleeves add fragrance, isn't it beautiful?

Zuo Zhan did not refuse the proposal of these matchmakers, but there was one condition.

He wrote the upper part of a couplet. Explain which lady can make the next couplet, and I am willing to ask for a dowry of ten thousand dollars.

As soon as the news came out, almost the entire Miss Qianjin and her family in Suzhou were studying the uplink given by Zuo Zhan.

Lonely and cold windows are empty and widowed......

It's stumped for everyone.

In the past few months, no one has come out, even if it is reluctant, it is a donkey's lips and horses' mouth, trying to make people laugh.

In this way, the front of Zuofu is finally much cleaner.

……

In March, under the peach blossom tree in the backyard of Zuofu. Lie on the blanket with your head resting on your hands and close your eyes to recuperate.

A peach blossom fell on his face, swept it away, and continued to recuperate.

"Brother Zuo, you're getting lazier and lazier." A pleasant female voice came into her ears, and her left and right eyes did not open, and she smiled faintly: "Spring is good." The peach blossoms are in full bloom, so don't sleep under the peach blossom trees. Isn't it a waste of life's beauty? ”

"It's getting more and more literal to speak." The woman in the white dress suddenly appeared, floated onto the blanket, pillowed her left and right chest, and meowed comfortably: "It's so comfortable!" ”

"Huh." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly, and enjoyed a rare peace with the woman in the white dress.

Until the Jinwusi slope, the temperature drops. The two of them opened their eyes and ended their comfortable nap.

"Young master, there is someone outside the door asking for a painting, it is a Hu man from the Western Regions." As soon as Zuo Xiaoyou returned to the front hall, the housekeeper came over and said.

"Hu people from the Western Regions?" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "Do Hu people also know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting?" ”

Jia Ding also smiled: "Hu people don't understand." But the Hu people like to use calligraphy and painting to bribe the most, maybe this Hu people are the idea. ”

"Hmm." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and waved his hand: "Tell him that I have slept and am not in sight." ”

"Yes, young master." Although it is only equivalent to more than four o'clock in the afternoon, since Zuo Xiaoyou said that he slept, then he was asleep, and the family only needed to tell Hu Ren 'truthfully'.

Zuo Xiaoyou thought that he had sent this Hu man away, but he didn't expect that it didn't take long for the family to come back: "Young master, that Hu man said that he was willing to exchange 100,000 taels of silver plus two glamorous orchids for a calligraphy and painting of the young master." ”

"Oh?" Zuo Xiaoyou didn't think about the silver and orchids for the time being, but looked at the family and said lightly: "How many benefits did you receive from the Hu people?" ”

The family plopped down and knelt down, and kept kowtowing: "The little one should be damned, the little one should be damned, the Hu man gave the little one hundred taels of silver, and the small one was obsessed with wealth for a while, so he would do such a foolish thing, for the sake of the little one's first offense, the young master spared his life!" ”

"A hundred taels? It's a big deal. Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly and said, "Only this once, not for example." One hundred taels will be confiscated, and he will go and get twenty boards himself. ”

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master." The family took out the silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver, and was punished by the other family members with great gratitude.

Zuo Xiaoyou said to the other family: "Let that Hu man come in." ”

"Yes, young master." Jia Ding said yes, and quickly went to invite Hu Ren.

Not long after, a bearded man dressed in local tyrant equipment walked in with four red dress orchids covered by red veils, saw Zuo Xiaoyou, and saluted with respect on his face: "Persian merchant Haziz see Mr. Zuo." ”

Zuo Xiaoyou clasped his fists and returned the salute: "Mr. Haziz speaks Chinese very standardly, it seems that the time I have lived in Daming is not short!" ”

"Haha, where. But I did live in Daming for many years, and now most of my business has also shifted to Daming, and I am half a Ming person. Haziz laughed.

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly and pointed to the guest seat: "Mr. Haziz, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zuo." Haziz walked to the first seat of the guest seat and sat down, and the four orchids stood behind him in two columns, full of local tyrants, left and right, and wanted to pounce and hug their thighs, begging the local tyrants to be friends.

After instructing the maid to serve tea, Zuo Xiaoyou picked up the teacup: "Mr. Haziz, please." ”

"Mr. Zuo, please." Haziz picked up the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, and spit out two hot breaths, with a little embarrassment and boldness: "Mr. Zuo, forgive me, although I have lived in Daming for a long time, I am still not used to drinking such hot tea." ”

It's a bold Hu businessman.

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "It's okay." I heard that Mr. Haziz wants to buy my paintings? ”

"Exactly." Haziz did not shy away at all, and said: "I heard that the saints today are praising Mr. Zuo's calligraphy and painting, which is unparalleled in the world, if you can get Mr. Zuo's calligraphy and painting." I'm willing to pay any price. ”

"Oh? At any cost? Zuo Xiaoyou glanced at the four orchids.

Haziz was overjoyed in his heart, and nodded again and again: "Any price, including the singers behind me, as long as Mr. Zuo likes them, I am willing to give them all to Mr. Zuo, plus 100,000 taels of silver." ”

Left and right chuckled. Said: "Mr. Haziz is serious, my calligraphy and paintings on the market only shout out the price of 10,000 taels of silver, which is worth 100,000 taels of silver, and add these four beautiful orchids." ”

"No!" Haziz said seriously: "Silver is priceless, art is priceless, Mr. Zuo's calligraphy and painting is already a kind of artwork, I am willing to spend all my money to buy one, as an heirloom collection." ”

Zuo Xiaoyou didn't believe Haziz's nonsense, he knew it from the beginning. How can this Haziz, a local tyrant, understand the value of the word art. Eighty percent of what he heard from someone who loves collecting, moved it over and gave it to him as it was.

If he was a younger one, he would have been deceived by him, but if he wanted to deceive an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, he would still be tender. But some people came from thousands of miles to send benefits, and there was no reason to push them out.

"Since Mr. Haziz is so sincere, then I will exchange a "Spring Tree and Autumn Frost Picture" with you."

"Good! Good! Thank you Mr. Zuo. Thank you, Mr. Zuo! Haziz was so excited that he immediately took out the 10,000 taels of gold tickets from Taisho Money Village from his arms. It is equivalent to 100,000 taels of silver, along with the four orchids in red dresses and red yarns, and the deed of sale.

After confirming that the golden ticket was genuine, Zuo Xiaoyou also took out the "Spring Tree and Autumn Frost Picture" drawn a few months ago and handed it to Haziz.

The two were satisfied, and Haziz got the coveted calligraphy and painting, and chatted casually. He got up and took his leave.

Zuo Xiaoyou didn't send him either, and asked the maid in the house to take four orchids to bathe and wash, so as to help him warm the bed at night.

Orchid, a female slave, singer, and dancer of Persia in the Western Regions, that is, a young and beautiful woman in Iran in later generations. For a variety of reasons. These women have been cultivated as tools to please the powerful since they were young, so they have a good grasp of how to please men.

A month passed in a hurry, and in the past few days, Zuo Xiaoyou was accompanied by four orchids every day, and he was really a happy fairy.

Here is fun, not thinking.

But the good times didn't last long, and one night a month later, when Zuo Xiaoyou was lying on the bed resting, the family suddenly shouted: "Oh no, young master!" Orchid stole all the calligraphy and paintings in the house! ”

Zuo Xiaoyou opened his eyes, got up and dressed under the service of the maid, walked unhurriedly to the front hall of Zuofu, and said lightly: "Don't panic, it's just some calligraphy and paintings, and if you steal it, you will steal it." I'm not dead yet, I have time to draw it again. ”

"No, young master." A family member said anxiously: "Those four orchids are all martial arts, and I think they have been plotting against each other from the beginning." It must be that Hu Shang, he must have arranged all this a long time ago! What a cunning! ”

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "That's right, that Haziz didn't have a good idea at the beginning, but I still accepted the four orchids, do you know why?" ”

"Why, young master?" The servants and maids were curious and looked at him with wide eyes.

Looking around at the middle and lower people in the hall, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "Because I know that they can't succeed." ”

"Ahhhhh

With four painful snorts, four black-clothed figures flew in upside down from the outside, falling to the ground, spitting blood, and unable to get up.

Seeing these four people, the family and the maid exclaimed in unison: "It's those four orchids!?" ”

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly and turned his head to look out the door. The next moment, a black-clothed bearded man also screamed, flew in upside down, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Compared to the orchid, who only spits blood from his mouth, this beard is bleeding from seven orifices, which is miserable.

"Ahh Is that bearded Hu Shang!? The maids and maids exclaimed in unison.

Zuo Xiaoyou stood in front of Haziz, looked at him condescendingly, and clasped his fists: "Mr. Haziz came late at night, Zuo did not entertain well, and please forgive me." (To be continued.) )
