Chapter Thirty-Eight: Do You Have a Secret?
Tang Jiaojiao squinted her eyes at Lu Huang: "It's not related to wine at all?" β
Lu Huang said: "Yes, I want to ask you about calligraphy, um......"
Speaking of this, Lu Huang obviously realized that his speech was not rigorous enough, so he changed the subject: "I asked you about writing." β
Yes, Lu Huang wants to strictly distinguish the difference between "calligraphy" and "writing", he doesn't want to be a calligrapher, he doesn't have such an ideal, he just wants to quickly restore his writing level, so as not to affect others' views of himself.
This is the true thought in Lu Huang's heart.
Tang Jiaojiao glanced at Lu Huang: "Didn't you buy my word rights?" When the time comes, if you want to write something important, you will find me. β
As if trying to understand what flaws there were, Tang Jiaojiao added immediately: "If you think that the time to buy the word right is too short, we can discuss, you don't have to worry too much." β
Lu Huang saw that Tang Jiaojiao misunderstood what he meant, and he hurriedly explained: "It's not a matter of the length of time to buy, I think I can write better, it's the real kung fu." β
Tang Jiaojiao heard Lu Huang say this, she let out a soft "oh", as if she understood.
Lu Huang then said: "Well, we can't talk about it all outside, let's go to the house and talk slowly." β
Tang Jiaojiao nodded: "No problem." β
The two came all the way into the mansion and walked side by side on the bluestone-paved path, Lu Huang said to Tang Jiaojiao very sincerely: "Miss Tang, I won't ask you for advice in vain, I will pay you." β
Tang Jiaojiao stopped suddenly.
Lu Huang didn't pay attention, he had walked forward for a long time, and then he noticed that Tang Jiaojiao didn't follow him forward.
He hurriedly stepped back and asked Tang Jiaojiao: "Miss Tang, what's wrong with you, are your feet numb?" β
When I said it, I felt that I was talking too much, people walk well, how can they be numb, and they will be numb because they have not walked for a long time before!
But Lu Huang didn't bother to change his words, he waited for Tang Jiaojiao to explain the reason himself.
Tang Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes: "I seem to have heard you say that you want to ask me questions, well, about calligraphy, isn't it?" β
"yes." Lu Huang nodded, there is nothing wrong with this, the authenticity is perfect.
So Tang Jiaojiao said again: "But you just told me that you would pay me first, didn't you?" β
Lu Huang was stunned, but nodded and said, "Yes, yes!" β
Lu Huang felt that it was normal to pay for knowledge.
Knowledge is also a commodity, but knowledge is a relatively special commodity, and intellectuals don't have to talk about money and feel that they are stinking of copper.
In the same way, artists don't have to be ashamed of talking about money.
But Tang Jiaojiao turned around one hundred and eighty degrees, looking at her like that, she was about to walk back.
Lu Huang was stunned, and was stunned for a while, not knowing what Tang Jiaojiao was doing.
After Lu Huang reacted that Tang Jiaojiao was about to leave the Lu Mansion, he instinctively wanted to reach out and grab Tang Jiaojiao, but thinking that the difference between men and women was very inconvenient, he took a few big steps, crossed Tang Jiaojiao, came to the front of her, and then turned around with one hand and stopped Tang Jiaojiao.
Although Tang Jiaojiao was stopped, she was still angry, and her two eyes were particularly wide staring at Lu Huang.
Lu Huang was a little confused by the second monk, and he said to Tang Jiaojiao: "Miss Tang, what do you mean by this." β
Tang Jiao said: "You are asking knowingly!" β
Lu Huang heard the phrase "knowingly asked" again, and the last time he heard this kind of statement, he heard it from Qing Shiyi, and it had been half a day now.
Lu Huang laughed.
The corners of Tang Jiaojiao's mouth turned upwards: "I said what are you laughing at, you are laughing at a fart!" β
Lu Huang wanted to laugh again, he really tried very hard to hold back, so he held back.
Lu Huang said to Tang Jiaojiao: "Miss Tang, I really don't know why you left suddenly. β
Tang Jiaojiao puffed her cheeks: "You really don't know?" β
Lu Huang said: "I really don't know. β
Seeing Tang Jiaojiao's gaze as if he was exploring his sincerity, Lu Huang felt as if he had not done enough.
What can be done to strengthen the trust of the other party in a typical situation?
In ancient times, swearing to the heavens should have been very effective.
So Zhao Huang raised his right hand, pointed it to the sky, and then said loudly: "If I tell a lie, let me ......"
It's easy at the beginning, and it's hard to start with other things, but swear that the front is a clichΓ© anyway, and the clichΓ© is easy to say, but the back is not easy to tidy.
So, swear this thing is not quite the same as anything else.
Lu Huang wanted to say "the sky thundered and split", and felt that this retribution was too cruel, but if it was said that "falling and fighting" was a bit too light, but if it was said that "I flattened my head when I entered the door", it seemed that this was too joking and not too serious.
Tang Jiaojiao stared at Lu Huang: "That's what you're like, keep talking." β
Time was urgent, Tang Jiaojiao didn't give Lu Huang too much time, Lu Huang was forced by time, and he came out with a sentence: "Let me never write well!" β
Once this oath is said, even Lu Huang himself feels very strange, I don't know if Tang Jiaojiao will laugh at herself, and I don't know if she will accept such a "poisonous oath". He glanced at Tang Jiaojiao with his eyes, and to his surprise, Jiaojiao actually nodded in approval.
Well, Lu Huang thought about it for a while, and he also understood that he was in a hurry by mistake, and what he said in a hurry turned out to be very appropriate.
Look, for a calligraphy family, not being able to practice calligraphy well is really a great punishment.
Sometimes, whether an oath is heavy or not is not in itself, like not being able to practice words does not matter at all to an illiterate, so it is not a heavy oath.
In the same way, let a playboy not go to Goolan Yard, he must not be able to bear it.
But it doesn't matter if a eunuch doesn't go to that kind of placeβincluding monks.
Over there, since Tang Jiaojiao had accepted Lu Huang's "poisonous oath", she directly picked out and said to Lu Huang: "As soon as you talk about asking for advice, and then talk about money, you know if you do this, it seems that I am greedy for money, which is a kind of disrespect to me." β
Disrespectful?
Lu Huang couldn't figure it out, Tang Jiaojiao's words themselves were nothing incomprehensible, but if it was from the mouth of a very high-minded artist, Lu Huang could understand it, but Tang Jiaojiao had also collected her own money to sell words before, and she had bargained, why did she change her sex again, as if she was getting farther away from Brother Kong Fang, the purer she looked?
Could it be that she was also possessed by someone else, just like herself?
This probability shouldn't be high, right?
Lu Huang looked at Tang Jiaojiao very puzzled now.
He pondered for a long time before saying, "Before, we also exchanged money for words, as if you were not unhappy." β
Tang Jiaojiao said: "We didn't know each other at that time, but now that we are acquainted, we should be regarded as friends, and it's not good for friends to talk about money or something." β
Oh, Lu Huang understood, it turned out that Tang Jiaojiao's logic was like this, of course non-friends talk about money, if they become friends, then money can't be said to be completely ignored, but in Tang Jiaojiao's mind, at least there should be less talk.
Don't be full of copper stench.
Lu Huang immediately apologized: "I see, I sincerely apologize to you." β
He originally thought that Tang Jiaojiao was refreshing and could make friends, but now Tang Jiaojiao took the initiative to say that he was a friend, and of course Lu Huang pushed the boat along the river and accepted it happily.
Tang Jiaojiao said: "Moreover, Brother Lu, you talk about money so casually, it seems that your family is very rich, you are too proud." β
Lu Huang also humbly accepted Tang Jiaojiao's opinion, and he felt that Tang Jiaojiao called him "Brother Lu", which was very good.
So he also tried to change his name: "Little Tang girl, then let's continue to move forward." β
Tang Jiaojiao nodded, Lu Huang's title to Tang Jiaojiao seemed to be accepted by herself.
So Lu Huang and Tang Jiaojiao walked in again and again.
But it's a strange feeling, it's still two people walking side by side, but it feels like they've become friends, and they feel different from before.
What was before?
It's a business partner.
Shuangxiu saw that Lu Huang was back, she was naturally very happy to welcome her, and then saw Tang Jiaojiao, she didn't like Tang Jiaojiao, this Lu Huang can also understand.
People talk about eye love.
I think Tang Jiaojiao is okay, but Shuangxiu thinks it's not, it's normal.
Not everyone likes to eat origami roots!
Not everyone likes to eat stinky tofu!
Not everyone will fall in love with hot pot!
Long live understanding.
Although Shuangxiu doesn't like Tang Jiaojiao, the basic etiquette is not wasted.
Now there are only Lu Huang and Tang Jiaojiao in the study.
Tang Jiaojiao is the teacher, and Lu Huang is the student.
Before Tang Jiaojiao could speak, Lu Huang suddenly smiled.
Tang Jiaojiao thinks it's weird, why do you laugh?
So she simply asked, Tang Jiaojiao's personality is like this, she can't hide her words in her heart, she can write that she can drink love makeup and intestines, these are a few labels that Lu Huang put on her in her heart, I don't know if Tang Jiaojiao would admit it if she knew?
The reason why Lu Huang laughed in his heart could be said in front of Tang Jiaojiao.
So Lu Huang said: "As for me, I suddenly have an idea, tell you it, we can discuss it." β
Tang Jiaojiao asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Our Lu family and several other families share a school, and I suddenly had an idea, that is, I can ask you to go to the school to teach calligraphy and teach children this knowledge."
He further added: "My little brother and little sister, they are also in that school. β
Tang Jiaojiao said: "Oh, it turns out that you have this kind of thought, but if you invite me to go, can you call the shots?" β
Lu Huang said: "Of course you can, this school is funded, and our Lu family accounts for the majority, so what I say can be counted." β
Lu Huang was telling the truth, and he didn't mean to boast at all, he tried to be as careful as possible, lest Tang Jiaojiao feel that he was very arrogant again.
- Since they are all friends, it's better not to be so arrogant in front of your friends!
Tang Jiaojiao thought for a while, she shook her head, and said to Lu Huang: "Well, I thank you for your kindness, and thank you very much for your affirmation of my calligraphy attainments, but I can't promise you." β
For such a freshly baked idea of his own, Lu Huang originally thought it was very wonderful, but he never expected Tang Jiaojiao to refuse.
Because Lu Huang felt in her heart that Tang Jiaojiao could be invited to teach, which in itself was also an affirmation of her writing strength, and she would be happy.
But Tang Jiaojiao refused.
Lu Huang subconsciously wanted to say: "Don't worry, I will pay you a very satisfactory salary." β
But fortunately, he was still clever enough to stop in time.
Otherwise, Tang Jiaojiao's mouth will fall again, saying that he is stimulating the artist Yunyun again.
The artist's soul is very brittle, and the artist's small heart cannot be easily harmed.
So Lu Huang came to his lips and changed it: "Little Tang girl, I think you should seriously consider this matter, it will be good for us." β
Needless to say, it's enough for a smart girl like Tang Jiaojiao.
But Tang Jiaojiao still shook her head, she obviously had her own set of ideas, and now she also told her own set of ideas: "Brother Lu, it's not like that. The main thing is that I feel that I am a person, and it is not suitable for me to be a teacher to teach others. β
Lu Huang thinks about it, a person who likes to pretend to others and has such a personality, it seems that being a teacher is a bit inappropriate. Well, I'm a little sloppy.
But Lu Huang did not completely give up his previous thoughts.
After a little silence, he said to Tang Jiaojiao: "Then in this way, I think we can compromise completely, you are not a full-time teacher, you can be an off-campus counselor, well, tutors outside the school, that is, tutoring their children to write calligraphy, do you think this is appropriate?" β
Lu Huang's proposal was quickly responded to by Tang Jiaojiao, and she felt that it was completely feasible.
So the two sides agreed to go once a week.
As for the price, of course Lu Huang knows it, and it won't seem abrupt to talk about it then, as for now, you can suppress it first.
Of course, Lu Huang has not forgotten what he wants to talk about now.
