Volume 3 City of Water Chapter 366 Do what you like

Nan Siqi "fell" the two of them at once, and as for the remaining two, the situation was not much better.

Dong Shu is from a beautiful background, and she is a girl, her words and deeds are naturally much more decent than those stinky old men, although she also loves this catfish stewed eggplant, but when people eat it, she has an elegant demeanor. Although she doesn't like to eat fish, but she doesn't drink less soup, just in terms of food, all the essence is in the soup, the soup spoon has never left when it falls in her hand, bowl after bowl, and then it is called a diligent one, and she drank eighteen bowls in a row, which is holding back to fight the tiger, really think that he is Wu Song?

As for the rest of the chess, not to mention, the virtue he has always adhered to is only two words - diligence and thrift! Not to mention that in front of him is a pot of fragrant catfish stewed eggplant, even if it is steamed buns and pickles, he will never waste it, slightly lower his head and eat Haisai, whether the food caught by chopsticks is fish or eggplant, he does not let go of any of them, but he is not picky eater, as long as he can eat happily.

In the blink of an eye, the three pots have bottomed out, and the remaining two pots are also "precarious", and there is not much left, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is nothing more than the white-hot stage of "you fight for me", the action is a little slower, it will be snatched up by others, and the distance is too far to reach, so I simply stand up and pick up the vegetables, just like this, where is there still a little noble identity in it? Eating a big pot of rice is also in this state, and no matter how much you wear a dog, you are just a mortal after all.

After a burst of robbery, the guests did not give in, and Yan Zhiqiu, as the host's family, also lost his courtesy demeanor at this time, he was born strong, he was proud since he was a child, he was competitive, and there was no one for all kinds of things, not to mention that he was facing such delicious food?

Although he kept saying "You're welcome", no one was happier than him!

However, he didn't let it, her daughter gave him a long face, no matter how delicious she still took care of a "courtesy, righteousness and shame", chewed slowly, behaved elegantly, in order to reflect her politeness, she also served vegetables to those seniors from time to time, and the words she said were even more polite.

White drawings and poems and paintings in this lineup completely belong to the existence of small minions, in order to have a lively picture, purely to make up the number of people, except for laughing and eating, they can't say anything weighty, Xu is afraid that if you talk too much, you will lose too much, so you just keep silent and bury your head in eating.

The most strange behavior was the young man sitting next to Yan Zhiqiu, he had a cold face from beginning to end, even if the scene was chaotic, he could still maintain a calm state of mind, stay out of the matter, get out of the mud without staining, which made people feel strange.

"Ahem...... That, Brother Wen Ran, this dish is really good, why don't you try it too?" This is Yan Zhiqiu's first courtesy since the robbery, and the person who can be politely conceded by him in this situation must have a good ability and status.

Moreover, from the analysis of his seat, if he can sit in the deputy main seat next to Yan Zhiqiu, how can he be a general?

"Huh?"

Wen Ran was stunned for a moment, Fang Cai seemed to be thinking about something else, and was let by Yan Zhiqiu like this, he came back to his senses, and slowly waved his hand and said, "No need Master Yan, I have already eaten it, you eat yours, don't worry about me." ”

"Huh, have you eaten it?" Yan Zhiqiu suddenly became a little curious, and couldn't help asking, "Then what do you think of the taste?"

"Hmm...... It's quite passable, and it's very rare to be able to eat such food in such a place. ”

"Huh?"

Yan Zhiqiu frowned slightly, listening to the meaning of the other party's words, could it be that he still disliked that this was a poor country, a wild and deserted village?

"What's so passable that I was kind enough to entertain you, and you still picked it?"

There was a trace of displeasure in his heart inexplicably, but Yan Zhiqiu would never show this mood on his face, hesitated slightly, and said with a smile, "Hehe, Shanye Village, there is nothing to entertain, in addition to these, Yan Mou also prepared a gift for Brother Wen, I hope you can enjoy it." ”

"Gifts?"

"Someone, bring the gift and give it to Brother Wen. ”

"Yes. ”

At the sound of an order, a little maid immediately brought over a delicate small box and carefully placed it on the dining table.

Yan Zhiqiu pointed to the small box with a chuckle, "Hehe, it's a little meaning, it's not a tribute, Brother Wen open it and take a look." ”

"Oh?"

Wen Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, only stretched out an index finger to pick up the box, lowered his head and swept it slightly, his brows furrowed.

"Huh, could it be ...... Delicate lens?"

"Hehe, Brother Wen really has good eyesight!"

Praised, Yan Zhiqiu took the lead in taking out the contents of the box, and after a closer look, it was a small and delicate copper mirror, the mirror surface was only the size of a palm, the material was polished smooth copper, and the back was a dark iron, with complex graphics and texts carved on it, although the appearance did not look any different from the ordinary copper mirror, but its usage was very mysterious!

Seeing that bronze mirror, everyone was curious, except for Yan Zhiqiu and Wen Ran, everyone else didn't know how precious this mirror was.

"Hehe, if that's the case, then I'll thank Master Yan. ”

Wen Ran smiled toothily for the first time, Yan Zhiqiu's gift this time seemed to be in his arms, and with a slight wave of his palm, he was not polite, and directly put the bronze mirror into his pocket.

As the so-called eating people have short mouths and short hands, this is not false at all, since accepting the bronze mirror, Wen Ran's attitude is much gentler than just now, and there is a little more smile on his face, no longer so cold, and he should be selling Yan Zhiqiu's thin noodles.

However, he was happy to receive the gift, but he wronged Nan Siqi present, because as a guest, why did others have gifts but he didn't? Such a differential treatment will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others.

"Hey, Master Yan, what about mine?"

The first person who is not happy is naturally Chen Hua, he has the most faults, and he has never been afraid of anyone to provoke trouble.

The so-called full of warmth and desire, without the desire for food, should take desire first and earn a profit!

Now that he has eaten and drunk enough, his stomach is round, and he has met the most basic food and drink, so he naturally has a higher pursuit!

As soon as these words came out, although the other three of Nan Siqi did not speak, their eyes turned to Yan Zhiqiu very consistently, and their meaning was naturally self-evident.

Yan Zhiqiu smiled slightly when he saw this, as if he had been prepared, and said very politely, "Hehe, Mr. Chen, don't be in a hurry, Yan has always done things fairly, how can he favor one over the other and neglect you? Don't worry, everyone has it." ”

"Smack!"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and immediately several little maids walked in from the back hall, each holding a delicate wooden box in their hands, which was handed to the guests according to Yan Zhiqiu's previous instructions.

After distributing the gifts, Yan Zhiqiu hugged his fists and said, "Hehe, it's a little meaning, it's not a tribute, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

When the other guests heard this, they first returned the gift, and after the ceremony, they couldn't wait to open the box.

"Huh, this is ......."

"Oops, that's ......"

"Shhh...... The head of the Yan family is really generous!"

......

Nan Siqi each got a gift, and the gifts were different.

What was given to the old man was a se, four feet long, two feet wide, smaller than his six-stringed piano, the strings were very thin, like silver needles, and there were three eye-catching big characters engraved in the upper left corner of the seer - liver and intestine broken!

"Oh, this ...... Master Yan, where did you get this piano?" The old man of the guqin looked stunned, his cloudy old eyes revealed an undisguised elite, and his dry palm kept stroking the qin, like a treasure, and he couldn't put it down.

Yan Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows and chuckled, but did not answer directly, but sold a pass, "Hehe, can the ancient predecessors like it?"

"Oh, I like it, I like it so much, it's just love to the bone marrow!"

"Hehe, thanks to the old-timers for being so fond of it, it's a great honor to give this to you now, and it can be regarded as a return to its owner!"

"Give it to me, seriously?"

"Hehe, it's true, of course. ”

"Hiss ......."

Taking a sharp breath, the old man of Guqin almost jumped up from the ground with excitement, his hands trembled a little, and he said with emotion, "Liver and intestines, I've been looking for you for a long time, and now, I finally found you, hahaha......"

Hu Youde, who was standing next to him, was suddenly curious, and couldn't help but interject, "Old man, what do you mean by this?"

Guqin glanced back at him, he was in good spirits on happy occasions, but he didn't hide it, and hurriedly glanced at the poems and paintings not far away, the latter suddenly understood, and gently patted the bag, and suddenly flew out of it A six-string guqin.

Put the two musical instruments together, the old man pointed to the upper left corner of them and said, "Little brother, look, the old man's piano is called Mi Zhiyin, and the Yan family master gave this seer, called liver and intestine break, the so-called song liver and intestine break, where to find a bosom friend at the end of the world, these two instruments are rare things in the world, can be put together, you can qin and song, yin and yang combined, it can be regarded as a complete merit, this is a great joy in life, of course the old man is happy, hehe......"

"Oh, I see. ”

Hu Youde nodded like an epiphany, although he doesn't understand musical instruments, but he knows how to pursue perfection, the treasures of the world, there are countless people who are "alone", but they can make a pair, and those who pay attention to the two are indispensable, but there are very few.

After reading the gift of the old man Guqin, the second person to speak out in Nansiqi was Fang Qi.

The gift to Fang Qi is two boxes of chess pieces, a box of blacks, a box of whites, he is a chess lover, he has a very strong preference for chess pieces, the two boxes of chess that Yan Zhiqiu gave him are really bloody, not to mention the appearance, but the material is very expensive.

The material of the sunspot is crow black jade, the material of the white child is mutton fat white jade, the size of each chess piece is not much different from ordinary chess pieces, the key is its value, it is really thick enough, just pick out one is enough to change a person's clothes into ten sets, these two boxes of chess pieces, Fang Qi can make a fortune just selling these chess pieces.

"Hehe, thank you, thank you Yan family master!"

Hug his fists and thank you, Fang Qile's nose is about to come out, he loves chess more than money, naturally he will not sell these chess, but there are so many jade chess pieces on his body, and he will find someone to play chess in the future, he has to be more careful, if he is secretly taken away by some greedy people, even if he cries, there is no place to cry.

After reading Fang Qi, Hu Youde turned his gaze to Dong Shu again, but it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, as soon as he saw it, the sense of expectation in his heart immediately plummeted.

Compared with the gifts of the previous two, her gifts seem too shabby.

There is only one thing lying in the delicate small box, not gold or silver, but a yellow and broken ancient book, the cover is a little wrinkled, yellow and thin, and it will be broken when the wind blows, and only three big characters can be vaguely seen on the cover of the whole book - tadpole text!

"What the hell is this?"

Dong Shu only turned one page, and Hu Youde was immediately stunned after scanning it.

The so-called layman looks at the doorway, and the insider looks at the excitement, but Hu Youde doesn't even know a word on it, where does the excitement come from?

However, he was not interested, but Dong Shu was very interested, as if he could understand the tadpole texts on the book, the more he read it, the more he liked it, he was very careful when turning the book, the movements were slow and light, for fear that he would use too much force and break the book again, and the milk child had never seen such a cautious person.

Hu Youde scratched his head vigorously, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally couldn't help asking, "Girl, what kind of book are you reading? Why don't I even know a word?"

Dong Shu was fascinated, and before he could speak, Yan Zhiqiu in the main seat took the lead in scolding, "Hmph, it's good that you know, just the little ink in your stomach, you don't even deserve to polish the ink for Miss Dong, why don't you get out of here, don't sweep Miss Dong's Yaxing!"

"Huh, I ...... Oh. ”

Hu Youde opened his mouth and wanted to mumble, but he was still afraid of Yan Zhiqiu's majesty, so he shrank his neck in fright and quickly retreated to the side.

"Humph!"

After drinking Hu Youde, Yan Zhiqiu shifted his gaze to Dong Shu, with a smile on his face, his attitude turned 180 degrees, and he laughed softly, "Hehe, the subordinate is rude, I hope Miss Dong will not blame, Su asked the girl to be knowledgeable, but I don't know this tadpole text, can the girl like it?"

When Dong Shu heard this, he shifted his gaze to Yan Zhiqiu, nodded and said, "Well, thank you for the kindness of the Yan family master, I have been looking for this tadpole text for a long time, and it has been in vain, I have the fate to see it today, it is really a blessing for three lives, I feel a lot of feelings when I read it this time, I don't know if the Yan family master really intends to give it to me?"

"Hehe, of course it's true, if the girl likes it, just take it. ”

"Oh, then, I thank the head of the Yan family for his kindness, hehe......" said thank you, and Dong Shu took the ancient book into his pocket.

There are four people in Nansiqi, and now three of them have been bought by Yan Zhiqiu, and as for the remaining one, he is the one who has the most problems and loves to pick the thorns among the four.

The gift to Chen Hua is also quite special, not a treasure, but a long scroll.

Spread out the scroll, what is made inside is an extremely strange landscape painting, which is strange not because the landscape painting in it is very sinister, but because the painting style of this painting is painted upside down, which is completely different from ordinary people's painting.

The scroll was five feet long and three feet wide, and although it was not small, its contents only occupied one-third of it, and the remaining two-thirds were blank, with no ink treasure filling except for a name.

Painting landscapes upside down, which seems nondescript in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of painting experts like Chen Hua, it has become a priceless treasure!

There are two mountains in the painting, a main peak, a partial peak, the main peak is wide and narrow, the partial peak is tilted left and right, and the actual landscape is the opposite, the children's graffiti are not so upside down, below the main peak is a clear stream, there are fish in the clear stream, neither against the current, nor downstream, but diagonally across the stream, straight towards the main peak, the stream near the partial peak is even more weird, neither under the mountain, nor on the top of the mountain, but at the mountainside of the partial peak, as if a waterfall appeared out of thin air, there is a golden carp painted in the waterfall, not a carp jumping over the dragon gate, if it goes downstream, it is completely contrary to common sense。

In the upper left corner of that large blank area is inscribed with the name of a person, the nickname of the person who painted itβ€”the madman!

"Oops! this ...... This is ......"

Seeing the name of the painter, Chen Hua was immediately surprised.

The guqin on the side suddenly leaned his head over, since he only knew how to play musical instruments and didn't know how to paint, he only glanced at it, and couldn't help muttering, "Hey, what is this painting, it's upside down, it's messy, the old man, I use green onion dipping sauce to draw better than him!"

"What!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Hua's hand almost twitched his face, his eyes widened and he glared at the guqin fiercely, and snorted angrily, "Hmph, you know what a fart! Do you know who this masterpiece came from? That is a famous madman, who has only painted three paintings in his life, and this is one of the real works!"

When Guqin heard this, he said disapprovingly, "Cut, what a crazy Taoist and a dog Taoist, in my eyes, this painting is not as good as a little hairy child's casual graffiti, and you are still holding it with your hands like a baby, and you are not too tired! I really don't understand what you painters are thinking about every day." ”

"Hmph, that's what you don't understand, it's called artistic conception, do you know artistic conception?"

"What kind of artistic conception is not artistic conception, what you can't understand is called artistic conception? Look at the painting of this mountain, how can the top of the mountain be wider than the bottom of the mountain? If this is the case, wouldn't the mountain have collapsed long ago?"

"Cut, this is called inverted landscape, inverted landscape is such a way of painting, you don't know don't mix blindly here, have you seen the chess pieces in Fang Qi?

"Huh, ten boxes?"

As soon as these words came out, the old man of Guqin suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, crazy, it's really crazy, just a broken painting can be exchanged for ten boxes of jade chess pieces, square chess, it is you...... Are you happy to change?"

When Fang Qi heard this, he quickly hid the two boxes of jade chess pieces in his hand into his arms, shook his head violently, and said, "If you don't change it, a fool will be willing to exchange it with him." ”

"Hey, do you hear that?"

"Go, go, a bunch of people who don't know how to appreciate it, it's a waste of saliva to tell you, and it's a waste of saliva. ”

Chen Hua was impatient, and he had a line of Taoism since he was in one line, so he stopped caring with others and continued to appreciate the paintings.
