Chapter 282: The Painting That Grows
The clouds are sparse and the moon is high, dogs bark in the alleys in the dark night, and the figures of a person and a donkey appear in the mist on the long street.
The stall was an old man, busy scooping up the noodles tumbling in the pot, when he heard the copper bell approaching, he raised his gaze and saw that it was a scholar in a fluttering robe leading an old donkey.
Hurriedly put down the colander, wiped the water stains on his hands, and set up a bench.
"This son, the old man only has soup and water here, if you don't pick your mouth, just sit here. ”
Lu Liangsheng smiled and tied the old donkey, and took the master from the bookshelf compartment to come over: "Don't pick your mouth, come to four bowls." ”
"Good...... Hey?" the old man was stunned for a moment, looked at the street, and turned back to look at the scholar who had sat down, "This son, don't be too old, I'm afraid four bowls of noodles are a bit much, and you can't eat them alone." ”
"One bowl, give me this toad, and the other two bowls will be over later. ”
"Toad..... Toad?"
The old man saw a toad in a small coat being put on the table by the scholar, shook his head and sighed, as long as the guest pays, a toad can eat.
Scooped up the bowl of noodles in the pot, put the condiments, poured the soup, and brought it to the guests at the other table, and said: "Eat slowly", and when he returned to the stove, he was about to make the next handful of noodles.
A faint scent wafted from under his nose.
When I looked up, I saw a woman in a black dress walking into the stall briskly, with a little powder, green silk and a jade hairpin inserted in a high plate, revealing a white neck and collarbone, so that the old man forgot to put the noodles in his hand into the pot, and even the three guests at the table just now looked straight in their eyes.
Without waiting for the old man to speak, the woman walked to the scholar's table with a smile and sat down, leaned over closely, and rubbed the other party's shoulder quite affectionately.
"Old demon, what else is delicious here?"
Mu Qiyou was pushed back by pressing his forehead, still smiling and supporting his chin, staring at Lu Liangsheng opposite with a pair of beautiful eyes.
The latter glanced at the old man over there, and the old man also reacted, shaking the noodles in his hand with a smile.
"That boy invites you to eat something delicious. ”
After saying that, he didn't look at it anymore and went on his own.
In front of the square table over there, Lu Liangsheng added the old man's words: "The soup is on the surface, and it is enough to fill your stomach." ”
"Oh. Qi You propped up his chin and responded simply, seeing Lu Liangsheng looking at her with a smile, biting his lower lip and winking playfully.
Lu Liangsheng seemed to be electrocuted, and his whole body only felt a slight numbness, and he subconsciously turned his gaze away.
...... Where did this dryad learn, and she didn't provoke people.
Ahem!
The toad on the table coughed dryly, the toad's eyes widened slightly, and he glanced at the man and woman in front of him, and his round webbed head tapped on the table.
"Converge a little, the teacher is still here....."
Smelling the aroma of the noodles and green onions pouring hot oil over the bowl, the toad didn't bother to say a word, staring at the old man and putting the noodle bowl on the table.
didn't scare others, so he coiled there, and hurriedly urged: "Liangsheng, quickly clip one to the side of the bowl for the teacher." ”
"Master, slow down. ”
With words that only the three of them could hear, Lu Liangsheng took a noodle and hung it out of the bowl, and was rolled into his mouth by the toad Taoist, snoring and sucking it into his stomach, Qi You instinctively opened his mouth, and learned the appearance of a toad, and his tongue was split and was about to poke out, and he was knocked on the head by the scholar next to him with chopsticks.
"You're a dryad!"
"Is there a difference?" Qi You tilted his neck and looked at Lu Liangsheng with big eyes.
On the side, the toad, who had eaten a few noodles, curled his tongue over the oil stains at the corners of his mouth and smacked his lips.
"Liangsheng, who else is there a bowl for?"
The fourth bowl of noodles was also served, and when the old man walked away, Lu Liangsheng picked a cluster of noodles in his bowl and blew it, and whispered something while the heat was churning.
"Come on!"
Sure enough, not long after, on the long street in the dark night, footsteps sounded, and when he walked into the range illuminated by the lanterns of the night stall, the figure who came, dressed in an official robe, with a thin face and long beard, was Yang Su, the prince of Yue Guo in the palace.
Seeing a man and a woman eating noodles at the stall, his eyes swept over the toad that was sucking the noodles lightly in the light breeze, walked straight over, sat down opposite Lu Liangsheng, and unceremoniously picked up a bowl of noodles in front of him, snorting and eating it into his mouth.
"The palace rice is **, but sometimes it is not as refreshing as this hot noodle, thank you Lu Daoyou, please eat noodles. ”
Lu Liangsheng swallowed the pasta in his mouth, laughed along, and looked at Yang Su opposite.
"What did Yue Guogong say, didn't you let Your Majesty seal it, how can a bowl of noodles be worthy of this. ”
"Yo, Mr. Lu Da will also tease people. Yang Su on the other side raised his face and said this with a smile, but the two have a relationship after all, and the joke will naturally not be taken seriously.
Putting down the chopsticks, he stroked his beard, half a sound, and said what he thought.
"Lu Daoyou is difficult to invite, so this method is come up to force you to come over, and besides, is your study so wasted? Entering the court as an official, no, not to say that you are an official, just to say that you are a national teacher, you can pray to the heavens and ancestors, and you can use your knowledge to use your knowledge, both of which can take care of the people of the world and receive favors. ”
"I can't do it, all my life has learned in the way of war, swordsmanship, and others, either concentrate on cultivation, or only govern the people's livelihood, taking care of both, the world doesn't say no, but my brother and I know you alone, not to mention that you are so familiar, and you don't have much selfishness, this is what my brother likes the most. ”
Lu Liangsheng listened to the words with a smile, and did not refute it, after all, he had promised Yang Jian in the palace before, and he also knew his character, since he agreed, he would naturally come to help one or two, as for staying in Chang'an for a long time, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult.
The belongings are in Qixia Mountain, and the parents and relatives are also there, and the entire Lujia Village has made it slowly become rich and peaceful.
After a moment of silence, Lu Liangsheng put down his chopsticks.
"What Yue Guogong said, how could I not know, and I am grateful to Your Majesty for valuing it, but my cultivation is shallow, and I am only afraid of making people laugh at my peers when I become a national teacher. ”
The toad Taoist on the side of the bowl wanted to speak, opened his mouth, looked at the apprentice's expression, closed it again, and continued to suck his noodles.
'The ..... of his mother The delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace. ’
Over there, Yang Su didn't think like that, and shook his head: "What did Lu Daoyou say about this, do you think of me?"
"That's different, Yue Guogong is a disciple of today's clan, and he has the merit of destroying Northern Qi and destroying Southern Chen, who can criticize it? And Lu Liangsheng has no merit and no virtue, and only one or two monsters who are in trouble are in a high position, which is inappropriate. ”
Lu Liangsheng had his own thoughts, his fingertips clicked on the table, and suddenly laughed: "The position of national teacher, put it down for the time being, I want to walk around and sharpen it, just a few days ago, I accidentally happened to have a strange thing." ”
Saying that, he told Yang Su about the Flame Prayer Sect, who had also pursued this sect, but unfortunately gained very little, and now after listening to the whole story, he couldn't help but praise it, endangering the Great Sui world, the brother Sheji, Yang Su is extremely evil.
Seeing the scholar walking to the bookshelf and taking the book, he quickly reached out and pressed the other party's hand that was about to open the page.
"This thing is what you have obtained, so why should others see it? ”
"Yue Guogong is someone else?"
Lu Liangsheng's heart was open, he opened the book, and let the painting of the Purple Mountain View on it fall in Yang Su's eyes, but when he opened it, he saw that the Purple Mountain View, which originally occupied a large page, was reduced to a corner at some point, and the surrounding mountains were extended, the forests were lush, and the green ink was clear and lifelike.
The lights of the night stall are dim, and the lanterns are shining on the faces of the scholars.
Between light and dark, Lu Liangsheng frowned slightly, he had never painted other scenes on it.
