The stall owner calmly finished drawing a stroke in his hand, closed his wrist, raised his head, and replied without being humble or arrogant: "Don't dare, may I ask what you can see?"

If it is an ordinary cultivator in the Shura realm, most of them treat the laity with the aura of a superior person, but Wang Xiao is an alternative after all, and he still maintains a little politeness to ordinary people. However, Wang Xiao didn't bother to procrastinate, so he just got straight to the point: "I don't know if Mr.'s calligraphy and painting can be transferred, but I love this 'high mountains and flowing water' very much, and I am willing to barter." For cultivators, this kind of rhetoric is already very polite and modest, and when other cultivators change it, most of them directly say, "I fancy your paintings, how much do you sell them!" But for a scholar, such words are quite a bit of a taste of food, Wang Xiao has not yet been "superior" consciousness, and he can't say such things.

The scholar glanced at the Lotus Root Hall mark on Wang Xiao's chest, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "It's actually a layman, but you don't want to be interested in the calligraphy and painting of a layman like me?"

The so-called layman is the honorific title given to the cultivator by the secular people.

Wang smiled and said: "What kind of layman, whether it is true or not, it is nothing more than a profession with different ears." Mr. calligraphy and painting are full of aura, and he loves it very much, and he hopes to cut his love. Such words are already a great deal of respect, and how can ordinary cultivators be so polite to secular people? If you can ask for something, it is all "appreciation."

The scholar glanced at Wang Xiao in surprise, and then smiled modestly: "Since the layman has a heart, he has a fate with this painting, and the resources of the pen are arbitrary." ”

Wang Xiao was stunned, he had never bought calligraphy and paintings, and he really didn't know how much the so-called polishing pen should be. If it is less, there will be no shame on this face.

Anyway, the few taels of silver I prepared were all for the sake of preparing gifts for the cuties, and this calligraphy and painting stall gave me a good idea, so I gave it all to him. At least the face is gone!

Having made up his mind, Wang Xiao said leisurely: "I didn't have any intention of shopping before I went down, I just planned to go to Du Kanglou to buy drunk, because I didn't have much stuff at hand." At this time, I saw Mr.'s calligraphy and painting, but suddenly I felt something, and I was happy to see the hunting, so I thought that I would be fully invested in the next body to change this painting, Mr. should not be too little. As he spoke, he took out all the hot pieces of silver in his arms and put them on the scholar's calligraphy and painting stall.

The scholar was also polite: "Since the layman has a relationship with this painting, he should have sent this painting to the layman, but the family is still waiting for the rice to be cooked, so you are welcome." ”

Wang Xiao saw that the scholar's demeanor was upright, and he was not ashamed of "waiting for the rice to go to the pot", and he also had a little more good feelings, and laughed: "Mencius said: The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work hard to work their muscles and bones, and the current embarrassment is just a bumpy period in the journey of Mr. 's life." Mr. is open-minded, full of aura in calligraphy and painting, and will not be a thing in the pool in the future. ”

When he heard the peculiar word of the journey of life, the scholar's eyes lit up and he bowed: "Thank you for your good words." After saluting, he rolled up the mountain and flowing water, and handed it to Wang Xiao with both hands.

Wang Xiao was not polite, took the painting, and after returning the salute, he turned around and left.

After buying the painting, Wang Xiao went back to the Li family's courtyard and asked Xu Qinshuang to borrow the study. In fact, this Li family's courtyard is basically Wang Xiao's home, and this so-called borrowed study is just a polite greeting. Since the incident with Buyuzong, Xu Qinshuang has doted on Wang Xiao a little more. Although Xu Qinshuang has such a well-behaved and lovely daughter as Li Xianglian, she has no children after all. After having Wang Xiao, Wang Xiao really respects and loves Xu Qinshuang from the bottom of her heart, and Xu Qinshuang also feels something, seeing if she really treats Wang Xiao as her own son, or is she the kind of son who is extremely doting. I'm afraid that even if Wang Xiao burns down the study, Xu Qinshuang will only say that it is burned well.

Wang Xiao's idea is very simple, since he can't afford high-end gifts, he simply brings his own gifts, which seems more sincere.

(Attention to the ranking officials, when pursuing girls, it is naturally good to have expensive gifts or intimate items to give, if you have no money or don't know what other girls like, the gifts you spend your own time making are far more romantic and intimate than the gifts you spend money buying, of course, gold worshippers are not among them.) ）

Preparing the Four Treasures of the Study, the painting of the mountains and rivers was cut out and pasted onto a cardboard shell. Wang Xiao bought the painting, but instead of sending it directly, it was used for handicrafts! After a while, a hard-shell pamphlet appeared.

The calligraphy and painting of the mountains and rivers are divided, and the main picture of Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi listening to and playing is used as the cover of the hard-shell booklet. The adverse next to it is cut out in its entirety as a colophon. As for the other parts, they were made of lace by Wang Xiao's waste.

After the shell was ready, Wang Xiao began to write the score.

This was Wang Xiao's idea.

Expensive things can't be bought, and they can't leave a bad impression on other girls, so Wang Xiao decided to make a gift by herself. This gift is an elegant flute score.

It took more than an hour, and after a few scraps, Wang Xiao finally completed the score, glued the score into the hard shell book with rosin, and then laughed: "With the calligraphy and painting of the mountains and rivers as the cover, the content is a few of his best flute scores, wahahaha, such a gift is better than those expensive vulgar things! I'm so smart, I'm really a genius hahahaha!" (Actually, I can't afford it)

The appearance of this score is really good, the cover page is a painting of mountains and flowing water, although there is no text, but those who have a little knowledge know what the story is. Then inside is a music score with the fragrance of ink and rosin, respectively, "a cut of plum", "vain eyebrows" and "blue and white porcelain", both lyrics and music, after these days of practicing writing in the Shura world, although Wang Xiao's calligraphy font is not high-grade enough, but it is still very upright.

Speaking of which, these songs are not particularly formal flute songs in Wang Xiao's original world, but Wang Xiao has no choice but to do so much...... In fact, Wang Xiao is best at playing Jay Chou's songs with a flute, but unfortunately there are not many Jay Chou's songs suitable for this world......

After preparing these, it was already noon, and after going to the kitchen of Liangentang to mix a meal, Wang Xiao took this music score of mountains and rivers and went to the old plum garden early.

According to the girl's message, it was "this time tomorrow", and it was three or four o'clock in the afternoon when they separated, and it was noon now, so it should have been very early in Wang Xiao's mind. But unexpectedly, when Wang Xiao arrived at the plum garden, he had already seen a delicate figure wearing a hat, sitting lonely under a plum tree, playing "A Cut of Plums" with a jerky tune.

Looking at the petite and thin black figure, knowing that the other party was a powerful cultivator whose cultivation was a hundred times higher than his own, Wang Xiao still felt a sense of pity in his heart.

Wang Xiao did not immediately walk over, but took out the flute and harmonized with the girl's jerky tune.

The girl's flute paused slightly, and then picked up the tune of Wang Xiao, and there was a joy with shame in the jerky notes.

......

Snowflakes fluttering

The north wind howled

Heaven and earth, a piece, vast—

A cut of cold plums

Standing proudly in the snow

Just for, Yiren, fragrance......

abandoned garden,

Kumei chinensis,

Residual leaves.

A young man in a white shirt, in the sun, in the sound of a flute, slowly walked towards a girl in black.

A mellow flute sound in his life, there is an inexplicable fit.

When Wang Xiao slowly walked in front of the girl, the song was just over.

In the aftermath, a gust of wind swept by, lifting the girl's hat.

The girl did not stop the breeze, let the hat fall, and a few early plum blossoms floated by, showing a shy, timid, like joy and hatred.

I don't know if it's God's favor, this early winter season is a rare sun.

Although the winter day is tilting, it is already a rare bright and warm room.

Under the golden sunlight, this abandoned amusement park is illuminated in every corner, and there is actually a little more breath of life in this ruined wall.

Standing under the dilapidated stone pavilion, stroking the score on the cover of "Mountains and Flowing Water", the girl showed a touched and shy look on her face, and bent down to give a salute: "Childe has a heart, I really don't know how to express my gratitude......"

Wang Xiao waved his sleeves: "If the girl really likes it, it's fine, if you say anything grateful, it's not Wang Xiao's friend!" said that, he only looked greedily at the girl's face and admired this beautiful scene.

This fight snake with the stick, only the second time we met, I already have to be "friends" with others......

The girl lowered her head under Wang Xiao's gaze, and said shyly: "Why does the son look at people like this......

Wang Xiao snorted: "Ah, this, because you are so good-looking, I look at the beautiful scenery in this world, and I am very focused." Whether it is spring flowers and autumn moons, or green mountains and green waters, as long as it is a beautiful thing, it is a lingering thing, not to mention that the beauty in front of you at this time is even more exquisite, so it is out of shape. I hope you will forgive me for the faux pas. "I forgive me, but my face is straightforward, and my eyes have not changed in the slightest.

The girl was even more shy, where was there still a little bit of "strong" taste, but there was no anger, only whispered: "The son is open-minded, acts brightly, and if he is different from others, it is really my luck to meet the son." ”

Wang Xiao was even more happy: "Where is it, Wang Xiao is lucky to meet a girl." Well, since we're already friends, I wonder if I'm lucky enough to know the girl's name?"

The so-called chasing girls is to know how to make inches, and it is not possible to stick to it, especially when you meet such a typical classical beauty, you must know how to act.

However, the girl's reaction was a little strange, she first glanced at the lotus petal on Wang Xiao's chest, and then sighed slightly: "I...... It's better not to know my name, Childe. ”
