45. Suzhou meets Tang Yin
There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.
Suzhou is naturally the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River.
In mid-June, Suzhou suddenly gathered countless literati and artists, and it turned out that it was going to be a conference to select Jiangnan talents.
At this time, Du Buyi and Zhu Er and a group of people also came to Suzhou City after more than ten days of turbulence in the ship.
Seeing a garden landscape in the city of Suzhou, coupled with countless literati calligraphy sold on the street, several people seemed to be in a state of flux and intoxicated.
At this time, a few people saw a stall, a scholar in his fifties dressed as a middle-aged man, and put a bunch of calligraphy and paintings. But only one of the paintings of flowers and birds was unfolded, on the table, with his head down, his eyes closed, and dozing off.
Zhu Sanmei stepped forward, picked up an unopened scroll, and said to the fifty-year-old man:
"Bought the painting, uncle".
As a result, the middle-aged man seemed to be asleep and ignored it.
Zhu Sanmei then gently hit the middle-aged man with the picture scroll, but she didn't expect the middle-aged man to still be asleep.
Zhu Sanmei said angrily:
"Okay, you old fellow, you still ignore people when you buy things, I tore up your paintings."
After speaking, he opened the scroll and was about to tear it off, but when he saw it, he covered his eyes and threw the painting on the middle-aged man, and scolded:
"You're not ashamed to sell this kind of painting on the street."
On the side, Li Fuxing hurriedly came over to take a look at the scroll and smiled very happily.
At this time, the middle-aged man was scolded by Zhu Sanmei and woke up, and then rolled up the painting just now, and asked a few people:
"How many people want to buy paintings".
Zhu Er saw that he thought that the third sister had offended someone, so he said to the middle-aged man:
"Sorry to bother you, we don't buy paintings".
After saying that, he pulled a few people away.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Fuxing walked back and threw away a piece of silver, and took away the painting that the third sister had lost just now.
Du was puzzled when he saw this, so he asked as he walked:
"What the hell is going on with Brother Li"?
Li Fuxing took advantage of the fact that a few people next to him didn't pay attention, and secretly opened the scroll and showed it to Du Yiyi.
Du didn't forget to blush after reading it, and accidentally said that he leaked his mouth:
"It turned out to be a spring palace map."
On the side, Liu Shuzhen heard it, so she hurriedly came over and asked Du Cheng:
"What is the spring palace diagram".
Du Buxing's face was flushed and he regretted that he had just lost his words, and he didn't know how to answer.
At this time, the third sister pulled Liu Shuzhen over and said that he said:
"It's just some men's hooligans in the painting, and it's not suitable for us girls."
Li Fuxing happily said to a few people on the side:
"Don't underestimate this painting, it will be difficult to buy it for thousands of dollars in the future."
Then he looked at Du and said:
"I don't think Brother Du has done this, so let's give it to you like this."
After speaking, he stuffed the painting on Du Buzhi, Du Buxing was embarrassed and embarrassed to throw it away, so he had to take the painting.
After a while, a few people found an inn in the city and stayed, and it happened that the inn also provided food, and they could rest for a day.
Because several people brought a lot of silver taels, they lived in one room, and they didn't forget that this one happened to be next to Liu Shuzhen.
It was almost lunch, and when it was dark, Du Bu did not forget to lie down in his room and rest.
At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Du didn't forget that it was either Zhu Sanmei or Liu Shuzhen, so he let him in, and sure enough, it was Liu Shuzhen.
I saw Liu Shuzhen enter the room, close the door, and sit on the edge of Du Buyi's bed.
So he asked curiously:
"What is the painting painted today, the third sister told me for a long time before, I didn't understand, let me see."
Du did not forget to quickly take the painting from the bedside, hide it behind him and say:
"It's not suitable for a girl to watch, so don't look at it, I'll burn him in a while."
Liu Shuzhen pressed directly on Du Buzhi's body, hugged Du Buzhi's neck and said:
"I'm going to see it, show it to me."
Du Buxin naturally shook his head and wanted to push Liu Shuzhen away, but he didn't expect that at this time, Du Buxing's lips came with a sweet fragrance, and Liu Shuzhen actually kissed his mouth again, causing himself a burst of heat.
Du did not forget to quickly let go of the scroll in his hand, wanting to push Liu Shuzhen away, but he didn't expect that at this time, Liu Shuzhen actually took the opportunity to grab the scroll and then open it.
At this time, Du did not forget to see Liu Shuzhen looking at the scroll and was stunned for a while, so he immediately put away the scroll and got up to get out of bed.
Liu Shuzhen reacted at this time and said:
"It turns out that you men are so, isn't that the painting a picture of Tang Xuanzong Xingyang Guifei?"
Du didn't forget that he didn't look carefully when he saw that the painting was a picture of the Spring Palace, and when he saw that Liu Shuzhen could still see the person in the painting, he asked:
"How do you know that it is Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei who are paintings".
Then he added:
"You woman is much more lustful than us men."
Liu Shuzhen replied:
"I'm sexual, and I'm also the person I like, isn't that because of you?"
Then he continued:
"I've seen a lot of the story of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, you can take it out and see if I'm wrong."
Du did not forget to pick up the painting and hide on the side and secretly opened it to take a look, sure enough, it was the picture of Tang Xuanzong in the soup pond Xingyang Guifei, and then looked at the title of the painter, so he was shocked, and said to himself:
"How could it be that he painted, I have the impression that he paints flowers, birds and portraits"?
On the side, Liu Shuzhen grabbed the scroll and said:
"I didn't expect this Tang Yin and Tang Bohu to be so lustful, and he could paint the characters and scenes in this painting so beautifully, just like a real person."
Then he looked at Du Cheng and said with a little confusion in his eyes:
"You men are so"
Then he pounced on Du Buxing, Du Buyi quickly dodged, grabbed the scroll, and put it away.
There was a knock on the door.
Liu Shuzhen immediately came to her senses, ran to open the door first, and saw that it was Zhu Er and Zhu Sanmei who came.
Du Zhiyi was a little embarrassed, and walked over to the two and said:
"Miss Liu came to talk to me about some family matters just now, and you happened to be here too, but is there anything wrong?"
Zhu Sanmei looked at Du Buyi and Liu Shuzhen with wide eyes at this time.
Zhu Er said:
"I heard that tonight is the first day of the talent competition, and we want to ask you to go out and have fun."
Du Bu Bu immediately smiled and said:
"Okay".
Zhu Er went to call Li Fuxing, and then Zhu Sanmei ran in, and pulled Liu Shuzhen to ask what the two were talking about just now, Liu Shuzhen didn't know how to answer for a while, so she pulled Zhu Sanmei back to her room first.
After a while, a few people packed up and went out.
After walking a short distance, I came to a large open space in the middle of the city, only to see that the lights were bright, and there were more than a dozen tables on the clearing, and on each table was a white paper, an ink plate and a brush, and a candle lamp.
There were many crowds of people watching, and at the front of the table stood a middle-aged scholar dressed as a person, who was the person who set up a stall to sell Spring Palace paintings during the day.
After a while, a lot of scholars dressed up and stood at a table.
The middle-aged scholar said:
"Today is the primary election day for Jiangnan talents, do you know why it is scheduled to be held in the evening?"
A group of scholars and boys dressed up as people, all you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to answer.
The middle-aged scholar asked a few more times, but no one could answer.
At this time, Du did not forget to see that no one spoke, so he came to the front and said casually:
"Recently, in the middle of summer, the weather is hot, how can I have the spirit and heart to chant poetry during the day, the weather is cool at night, and the heart is full, so Mr. arranged the evening competition."
The middle-aged scholar saw that what Du Bu Bu said was exactly what he was saying, so he praised Du Bu Bu and said:
"This young man is really thoughtful, and he is a great learner."
Then he commanded the people:
"Today's test is 'everyone composes a poem', let's start with our hearts."
The people at the table lifted their pens and began to write.
