Chapter 499: Defaced Famous Paintings
On the carriage to the dock, Liu Mubai sat alone, looking at the carriage in front of him through the window, his face was gloomy.
Sun Mo was sitting in it at this time, sharing a ride with An Xinhui.
If it weren't for the fact that the Luwei Banquet was too important, it was a great opportunity to get acquainted with the upper echelons of Jinling, and Liu Mubai really didn't want to come.
In fact, a carriage can seat five people, but An Xinhui would rather have an empty seat and rearrange a carriage for Liu Mubai alone, rather than inviting him to join her, which is enough to show that she is avoiding suspicion.
"But I won't give up, Sun Mo, as long as you don't get married, you don't know who will kill the deer!"
Liu Mubai clenched his fists, hoping that during the assessment of the two-star famous teacher, Han Zisheng could meet Sun Mo's personal students, and when the time came, he could directly blow them up and break Sun Mo's dream of ascending to the stars.
"I have been preparing for three years before I dare to carry out a three-star feat for one year, you are a rookie graduate who wants to do this, you are simply underestimating the world's heroes!"
Liu Mubai was unhappy, but after muttering, he quickly warned himself not to be so narrow-minded.
Recently, because of An Anhui's relationship, Liu Mubai has become less and less calm, and he has completely lost the open-minded demeanor of a famous teacher.
In the last carriage, Li Ziqi, Lu Zhiruo, and Ying Baiwu sat down, in addition, there were Gu Xiuxun's personal student Zhang Yanzong and Liu Mubai's Han Zisheng.
Compared with Zhang Yanzong, who is tall and big, Han Zisheng cranks a folding fan, and is more like a weak scholar, but if anyone underestimates him, he will definitely suffer a big loss.
You must know that this is the chief of the second year, and he is very powerful.
Facing Ying Baiwu's hostile gaze, Han Zisheng's mouth kept a smile on his lips.
"Senior sister, I don't know why, when I saw his face, I wanted to beat him!"
Lu Zhiruo was puzzled.
"Huh, you feel that way, too?"
Li Ziqi was surprised, you must know that Papaya Niang has always been kind-hearted and is a good girl who never causes trouble.
"Fortunately, Xuanyuan Po didn't come, otherwise it would definitely have started. ”
Papaya Niang has palpitations, Xuanyuan Po is the teacher's trump card, what if she is injured and affects the two-star assessment?
"I think it's going to be a fight now!"
Li Ziqi persuaded in a low voice: "Baiwu, don't be impulsive!"
"I won't!"
Win Baiwu can feel the confidence and momentum in Han Zisheng, this is a strong enemy, so in order for the teacher to become the first in Zhongzhou, he must work harder.
Waiting for Xuanyuan to make a move?
Sorry, the Iron Girl never relies on others.
"Win Baiwu, you look like this, you are too blind, right?"
Zhang Yanzong, who was regarded as a little transparent, was speechless.
"What? You want to fight?"
Win Baiwu asked rhetorically.
“......”
Zhang Yanzong was speechless, he couldn't talk anymore this day, but in his heart, he preferred to win Baiwu's character of being scared of the air.
Linjiangfang is not a building, but a five-storey painting boat, which is the most expensive and ornate pleasure boat in Jinling.
Take Linjiangfang night tour of Qinhuai River, listen to famous songs, enjoy dances, chant poems against each other, and be elegant vassal is the favorite thing for dignitaries and nobles.
Only the top elites are eligible to enjoy this boat, and the wealthy with average assets can only sigh with admiration.
It can be said that whoever is qualified to board Linjiangfang is a member of the top circle in Jinling.
The dock arrived.
As soon as everyone got off the carriage, a servant from Linjiangfang hurriedly greeted them, handing tea, pastries, and hot towels.
Win Baiwu is at a loss.
"Just follow me. ”
Li Ziqi is very calm, because she has seen dozens of times bigger pomp than this.
"Aren't these people afraid of recognizing the wrong person?"
Win Baiwu doubts.
"Yes, this wharf is unique to Linjiangfang, others are forbidden to use it, and I don't know how many big people are coming today, so there are already officers and soldiers standing guard around it, and don't even think about sneaking over. ”
Han Zisheng explained.
"Officers and soldiers?"
Ying Baiwu raised his eyes and looked over, but he didn't see anyone.
"Don't look at it, you can't see people. ”
Han Zisheng smiled, the big people were having fun, if they saw the officers and soldiers and civilians wandering around, wouldn't it be a bad mood?
Li Ziqi leaned into Ying Baiwu's ear and explained a few words in a whisper.
"How much does it cost, how much labor is wasted?"
Win Baiwu was stunned, everyone knows that the larger the scope of protection, the more soldiers are needed, this is okay if it is a business matter, but this is the big people eating, drinking and having fun, and they actually have to dispatch so many soldiers and horses?
"Your focus is superfluous!"
The corners of Han Zisheng's mouth twitched.
"Why are they redundant? These soldiers and horses are not raised by the people? Is it just that the Tang Dynasty government gives them money so that they can protect the big people here to eat, drink and have fun?"
Ying Baiwu did not ridicule Han Zisheng, but discussed the problem seriously.
"The Deer Tail Banquet is a normal banquet!"
Han Zisheng argued.
"Come on, don't tell me, these soldiers and horses have never been dispatched in normal times, what is Linjiangfang, don't you know?"
Ying Baiwu felt so distressed, she used to make very little money by pulling swill, but she still had to pay taxes, but she didn't expect it to be spent in this kind of place.
"Alright, let's stop talking about that!"
Li Ziqi was very embarrassed, after all, she was Her Royal Highness the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
As the top amusement place, Linjiangfang is no longer a simple service, it is simply the ultimate that ordinary people can't imagine.
After a brief wash and a snack, a trained servant took the group on board the boat and headed for a boat on the river.
"Be happy!"
Li Ziqi persuaded Win Baiwu, look at the papaya girl, she has no heart and lungs, how easy her life is!
Everyone got on the cruise ship, and immediately another servant came up and took Sun Mo and the others to the lounge.
"Sun Mo, Master Liu, you can take a look at it casually, or rest. ”
Anxin Hui explained.
Here, the lounges for men and women are separated, after all, there are some nobles who do not want to be seen.
Anxin Hui has her social circle, which must also be carefully maintained.
"Hmm!"
Sun Mo nodded casually, and then looked into the distance, on the river, there were floating boats, dotted with lights, and the sound of silk and bamboo came, which was a different scene.
Liu Mubai heard An Anhui call Sun Mo's name, and calling himself Liu Shi, which was obviously a polite salutation, which made him very disappointed.
"Sun Mo, I'll help you promote the Hand of God!"
Gu Xiuxun wants to be with An Xinhui.
"Ziqi, are you three coming?"
An Xinhui looked at the small purse.
"No, I'm going to be with the teacher!"
Li Ziqi shook his head.
This is the difference in identity, Ying Baiwu and Papaya Niang don't even have the qualifications to visit those big shots, but Li Ziqi doesn't need to visit others, but needs others to ask for peace.
"Distinguished guests, please come over here!"
Servants lead the way.
Soon, the crowd was ushered into a large cabin, which had soft collapses, chess sets, and pot-throwing mahjong and the like.
Ying Baiwu sniffed his nose.
In the cabin, precious incense is burned, which can make people calm their minds.
"How many people, what kind of snacks do you want to eat, fruit juice or tea?"
The servant asked.
"Let's have some four-color pastries, and Longjing has a pot!"
There is no need for Sun Mo to answer at all, Li Ziqi is like a little housekeeper, taking care of everything in an orderly manner.
Seeing this scene, Liu Mubai was very envious.
You know, such a beautiful, so knowledgeable, and knowledgeable of these maids who know how to treat people and tea, they are almost impossible to buy on the market, and even if they do, they are almost not from the right way.
Either they are survivors of the raid or they are expelled from their homes for committing crimes, and even then they are very expensive.
Therefore, the wealthy and aristocratic families all bought little girls and cultivated them themselves, spending a lot of effort and money.
Of course, what makes Liu Mubai most jealous is Li Ziqi's identity.
Her Royal Highness, the dignified princess of the Tang Empire, was busy like a maid, waiting for Sun Mo, afraid that he would be uncomfortable, this life is too enjoyable, right?
But Sun Mo really dares to use it!
Liu Mubai felt that if he was replaced by himself, he must be sincerely afraid, and he didn't dare to work hard for Li Ziqi.
Sun Mo glanced at the scenery a few times, and then became uninterested, sitting by the window, drinking tea while pondering the broken spirit patterns on Jiang Leng's body.
Papaya Niang looked at it curiously, and after a while, she had seen enough of the scenery here, and began to fidget.
"Teacher!"
Lu Zhiruo blinked her big black and white eyes, like a kitten waiting to be fed, and looked at Sun Mo pitifully.
"You can hang out if you want, but you have to be accompanied!"
Sun Mo smiled, although he knew that there would be no accident on the cruise ship, but he was still careful.
"Senior sister!"
Papaya Niang immediately grabbed Li Ziqi's hand and shook it gently.
"But I have to take care of the teacher!"
Li Ziqi frowned slightly.
Hearing this, Liu Mubai's stomach hurt.
"Go ahead, and besides, I have something to call a servant!"
Sun Mo looked at Ying Baiwu: "Take her!"
The three girls left, and Zhang Yanzong wanted to follow, but he was embarrassed.
"Master Sun, I have a few friends I know, leave for a while!"
Liu Mubai really didn't want to stay with Sun Mo, so he found an excuse to leave.
Sun Mo didn't care, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
......
Li Ziqi and the three of them ran from the bow to the stern, and then from the stern to the cabin, having a lot of fun.
I have to say that Linjiangfang is worthy of being a top-notch painting boat, and the service is impeccable, they saw that Li Ziqi and the three of them were wearing school uniforms, and knew that their status was not high, but they still did not stop them, but only a vague reminder not to disturb the guests.
Of course, there are servants waiting outside in some important cabins, so there is no such thing as Ying Baiwu worrying about making a mistake and offending others.
"What does a famous painting look like? I haven't seen it yet, let's take a look?"
A pleading voice suddenly floated over, making Lu Zhiruo suddenly prick up her little ears.
"Famous paintings?"
Papaya Niang hurriedly greeted Li Ziqi: "Senior sister, come here." ”
The three girls followed the sound and quickly found a cabin, looking at the decoration and location, Li Ziqi knew that it was for the entourage of VIPs.
When they entered the door, sure enough, there were more than a dozen servants of fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were all surrounded by a fifteen-year-old maid at this time.
The maid was holding a rectangular wooden box in her arms, and her face was full of embarrassment and helplessness at this time.
"Take a look and not lose a piece of meat?"
"It's so stingy!"
"It must be a fake painting!"
The servants gossiped and squeezed the maid.
"This famous painting was bought by the master at a great price, and it is absolutely true!"
The maid argued, but she just didn't show it to others, after all, if it was broken, her life would be gone.
"Famous paintings!"
Lu Zhiruo was curious, and looked at the crowd on tiptoe.
When Li Ziqi heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Papaya Niang, don't you know that you disappeared at the beginning, and the teacher actually drew a famous painting in order to find you?
Thinking of this, Li Ziqi was still a little jealous.
"Oh, famous paintings are very valuable, don't embarrass her!"
Although Papaya Niang wanted to see it, she still helped and said a fair word.
Swish!
Everyone's eyes immediately stared.
Shout!
Lu Zhiruo immediately hid behind Li Ziqi at a very fast speed, and after thinking about it, the little purse should not be able to fight, so she switched to the back of Ying Baiwu.
"Where are the famous paintings?"
While everyone was chattering, another young man dressed in brocade, about eleven or twelve years old, looked at him with curiosity on his face, and when he saw the maid holding the wooden box, he immediately came over.
"Get out of the way!"
Seeing that someone wouldn't give way, the boy pushed directly.
The servants were also eye-catching, looking at the noble clothes on the young man's body, it was obvious that he was a person of status, they didn't dare to provoke, and obediently let go.
"What is it?"
The boy asked, and then went to snatch the wooden box from the maid's hand.
The maid immediately called the police.
"If you let go, or you will be broken, you will be miserable, and even if you are not killed, you will be sold. ”
Juvenile threat.
The maid was startled, and then cried out again.
"This kid is so annoying!"
The papaya lady pouted, and she saw that the young man in brocade pinched the maid vigorously and asked her to let go.
"Give it back to me!"
The maids wept urgently.
"Don't make noise, I'm Li Feng!"
After the young man finished speaking, the noisy cabin immediately fell silent, and the servants looked much more respectful.
Li Feng is the youngest son of Li Zixing, and he can give birth to a son at the age of sixty, which is a good omen and a symbol of longevity in the eyes of the old people, so Li Zixing is particularly fond of this son.
This kind of person, not to mention ordinary people, many noble children can't afford to provoke.
"Go, move the table!"
Li Feng ordered, and then looked at the little maid: "Don't cry, I'll give it to you after I'm done, otherwise I'll tear it up now." ”
"Then you hurry up and see!"
The little maid was helpless, and her little face was full of panic.
Soon, the round table was carried over by four servants, and Li Feng opened the wooden box, took out the picture scroll, then opened it and spread it on the table.
"Dirty!"
The little maid was distressed, but Li Feng didn't care at all, he groped his chin with a look of disdain: "That's it, why can't I feel its subtlety?"
"If you don't learn, you can't do it!"
Li Ziqi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
This Li Feng is really bad, you must know that a painting with a wonderful brush can be called a famous painting, once this kind of painting is opened, its own artistic conception will make people intoxicated.
How bad does this Li Feng's level of appreciation have to be to be so that he can't even understand this?
"This is not a famous painting, you lie!"
Li Feng casually pointed to a servant: "Come on, do you think this is a famous painting?"
The servant thought it was, but this was the little prince's problem, how dare he say no, so he shook his head.
Li Feng ordered several people in a row, and they all got this answer.
"Look, I'm not wrong, am I?"
Li Feng teased.
"It's definitely a famous painting, but you don't know how to appreciate it!"
The little maid was indignant: "You have all seen it, hurry up and return it to me!"
"Who you say doesn't know how to appreciate?"
Li Feng's face darkened, then his eyes rolled, and he suddenly raised his foot and stretched it out to the feet of the little maid.
The little maid patronized to return to the famous painting, but did not pay attention to her feet, and as a result, she tripped and stumbled, and hit the table.
Bang!
The table shook violently, causing a teacup to be poured, and the tea spilled out, soaking the famous painting.
