Lei Yue Longmen

Chapter 273 Fishing on the River

"You? Think you? Are you pretty? Good-looking?" The fisherman actually sneered.

Cen Zhu was terrified. She finally knew why the fish was in his hands. She stopped moving. Most likely she fainted from fright, no, she was suffocated by fright.What a ghostly smile.

Although she didn't say it clearly, the disgusting expression that glanced and left, turned into thousands of thorns, piercing the fisherman's eyes.At this time, silence is better than sound.

But seeing the long pole waving twice in the air, Cen Zhu thought that he was about to suffer another disaster, so he shook his head and quickly ran away while supporting the "Pear Crown".But the fishing rod did not swing down, but hooked her painting and threw it towards the river.

"Ah!" This trick caught her off guard, and Cen Zhu hurriedly ran back, "What the hell are you trying to do? Be careful, you're about to fall!"

The package barely stopped at an arm's length above the water, then dropped down again, threatening:

"One more step forward, don't even want this painting."

Cen Zhu hurriedly stopped and raised his hands high, "Hey, I won't go. You? Don't be impulsive."

The other party sneered, and the smile became colder and colder.

She squatted down annoyed, and thought for a long time, "Hey, senior, how about we discuss it, you? Make a price, and I will return the fish money to you? No matter how much money you want, I will pay you back." , you? How about returning the painting to me ""

"You? Can you afford it?"

Cen Zhu said with a smile: "It's just a fish, why can't you afford it, you? Don't look at me now, I was a rich man back then."

"Okay then," the fisherman reluctantly picked up the fishing rod, "give me 15 taels, and forget about it."

"Fifteen...ten thousand taels? You, senior? Did you say one more word?"

"You? Didn't you say that no matter how much money you have, you will still be compensated? What's the problem with 15 taels?"

"The problem is serious. Even a carp made of pure gold is not worth 15 taels! 15 taels can buy a very nice mansion in the hottest part of the capital."

"so what?"

"So what?" Cen Zhu seemed to have heard something unbelievable, "Senior, let me see you? You have thin skin and tender flesh. You probably don't care much about daily necessities, right? You? Do you know that this is the first one in Jiankang City? How much can a big carp be sold for? Let me tell you, it can be sold for fifty renminbi at most. One tael of silver is one thousand renminbi, which is enough to buy twenty carp of the same weight. You can buy the whole carp for 15 taels. Tiao Rui...Of course it’s a bit difficult to get Rui Jiang, but it’s more than enough to get a small Rui River. Senior, the lion opened his mouth, isn’t it obvious that he wants to blackmail me?!”

Hearing so much from her beating around the bush, the fisherman despised her lack of common sense, and couldn't even convert basic prices.Not being as knowledgeable as her, she sneered and said, "I have countless servants in my family, so naturally I don't need to take care of the money myself. The 15 taels I mentioned, of course, not only refers to this fish, but also includes this painting! It was created by Zhang Muwei, a painter of gold." Dazuo, how can I get it? It’s worth 15 taels of silver."

Cen Zhu was stunned, and almost blurted out, "You? How do you know that my painting is from Zhang Muwei?"

This piece of Muwei is one of the famous "two pieces" in Yurui's calligraphy and painting circle. It is good at painting flowers, birds and figures, and is famous for its vividness.The other is Zhang Shang, an imperial painter who once drew a sketch of Fushou Garden, known for his elegance.The paintings of the two are priceless in Yurui, and because Zhang Muwei had sealed his pen many years ago, his early paintings were once sold for sky-high prices. This is his latest masterpiece after he sealed his pen. It's too small, if it's really going to be speculated, Cen Zhu can use this painting to pay back his capital in one day. Not only can he buy back the house, but he can even pay off the huge debt of 15 taels owed to Bao Siniang in an instant.The painting is now something of a family heirloom of hers.Now being suspended on the water, that is really fatal.

However, she was very puzzled. The painting fell into her hands from the moment it was completed. Except for the artist and herself, no one else has ever seen it. Where did the fisherman know about it?Could it be that he is not a human being, but a ghost?Cen Zhu couldn't help taking a deep breath.

"Senior, you seem to have made a mistake. This painting belongs to me, no matter how much it is worth. You? Ask me for 15 taels of silver. What's the difference between this and Ming Qiang? Let's just stop playing it?" "

"You? Think I'm joking with you."

Cen Zhu looked at her knowingly questioning face, disdainfully exposed it, and stared at the river in rapt attention. The eye-catching big hat was dangling in the wind, and it didn't do anything to shield it from the rain.The eyeballs are spinning around, and I don't know what I'm thinking? Ghost idea.

Suddenly, her expression changed, she stood up abruptly, pointed at the package and shouted, "Girl, I didn't waterproof the painting, it's still raining, you see the cloth is wet, If this happens, the painting gets wet too, but I can't even get a piece of it!"

She stomped her feet anxiously, and just now she was so busy arguing with her that she forgot about serious matters, that painting is worth a big house!If this is the case for hundreds of thousands? If it's ruined, wouldn't it be vomiting blood.

The fisherman was very stable, but when she made such a noise, he trembled and almost lost his hand. He lightly reprimanded: "What are you shouting for? Shouting!" Cen Zhu was really anxious and started stomping his feet.The fisherman took back the fishing rod with a sullen face, and fished the drenched package back into his palm, and it was indeed soaked to the touch.

"How, how? Did you get wet?" Cen Zhu kept urging, and she was so annoyed, she made up for it and reprimanded: "It's not waterproof, you? Dare to recite it to show off, you? What did you do early? Go gone?"

However, when she opened the package, what she saw was a long bamboo painting tube, both ends were tightly sealed, as if it was not waterproof. "Boom"? Open the cover and look in? Take a look, the scroll is well wrapped in oil paper, neither seepage nor wet, it is clearly prepared for waterproofing.

"That's it……?"

She raised her head ferociously, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the big-tailed wolf opposite, with a half-smile on her hips.

I suddenly realized that I had been fooled, and activated the original sound without paying attention.She closed the lid with a guilty conscience, weighing the lethality of this flaw, and there was a moment of war in her heart.Holding the painting tube in one hand and the fishing rod in the other, he froze there.

Cen Zhu held back his laughter and was about to choke off his internal injuries, but he couldn't comfort him.This is like a person with numbness in her legs. She can only relieve the numbness by herself, otherwise any external force may have the opposite effect.

How could someone as tall and proud as an empress dowager allow herself to be exposed in public? Even if she made a fool of herself, it must be someone else's fault, not her own.

Cen Zhu guessed that her strength had slowed down, so he squatted down, smiling all over his eyes,

"Girl, you? This is a bit unreasonable, and you are asking for a lot of money to steal people's paintings. How can there be such a blackmailer in the world, you? If this happens, we can only go to the government to reason."

Li Jingchen heard that she was still acting, so he didn't get angry? He just came out.As if to throw her painting tube.

Cen Zhu was so frightened that his liver trembled, he quickly reached out to grab her arm, and slowly pulled it back into his arms, holding it like a gold ingot, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong, grandma, you? Don't you?" Impulsive, you? Angry? Throw me, you? Don’t throw the painting, the painting is innocent, it’s 50 taels of silver!"

The appearance of her begging for mercy wearing a fish basket is really ridiculous, so close to Li Jingchen, she can't get rid of it no matter what.Angry? He took a fishing rod and slapped the scorpion, who knew that the slap was a coincidence, the scorpion sank, and grabbed Mr. Cen's head.Cen Zhu felt his eyes go dark, as if someone put it in a cloth bag? He subconsciously pushed it up with his hands, but the neck was too narrow, it was easy to get in and difficult to get out.She tried several times, but either her chin was stuck or the back of her head was stuck, "Damn it!"

Li Jingchen was also taken aback for a moment, looked at the fishing rod, and then at the stuck big head, as if he was not very smart, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"You...you still? laugh, you? still? help me!" Cen Zhuo was so depressed that his voice seemed to change its tune after being obstructed by the fish basket, and it sounded like it was coming from under a quilt.

Li Jingchen laughed so hard that it became increasingly difficult to control herself. She really wanted to help her, but she just couldn't straighten up.

"Oh, I can't do it."

She squatted on the ground for a while, finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away her tears and stood up, seeing that the small half of the other party's forced face was deformed like kneaded dough, and one of them didn't hold back, and was defeated again Come.He lowered his head and kept laughing "chi chi chi chi chi".

"Hey, do you? Do you still have a conscience? It's all your fault! If you hadn't hit me that time, I wouldn't have gotten stuck here, you? Tell me what to do now?" tears.

Li Jingchen supported his forehead to cover his smile, "You? Don't be ignorant of good and evil. Who told you to be smart enough to wear a fish basket on your head, and blame others when something goes wrong. You deserve it." After finishing speaking, he patted again. Her outer skull, "Hey, is it dark inside?"

"nonsense!"

"Actually, it's not bad to wear it like this, at least it won't catch the rain."

"You? Can you stop making sarcastic remarks about you?!"

"chi chi chi..."

After laughing, Li Jingchen helped her pick the fish basket earnestly, but the strange thing was, no matter from which angle, some parts would get stuck.Hearing Cen Zhu's cry of pain, the empress dowager gave up the last attempt, and couldn't help but feel worried, "It seems that no external force will work, come with me."

"where to?"

"Just follow along."

"I can't see the road, how can I follow it!"

Li Jingchen thought for a while, handed one end of the fishing rod to her, and led the other end to lead the way.Cen Zhu made a "cut" sound and made a grimace. Anyway, it was in the fish basket? She couldn't see it either.While walking, he waved his fist and said, "I still have my horse!"

"Don't worry, someone will hold you."

Cen Zhu was first taken out of the sandbar, turned eastward, and landed on the muddy grass on the bank. The grass was a bit slippery. She slipped several times and almost fell, but fortunately, she was always supported in time, which made her The gloom subsided a little.After walking for about a mile, she stepped on a flat wooden board, and she intuitively felt that it was a pier.The crashing of the water waves? The crashing sound of the planks and the rattling sound of the iron chains swaying on the water surface in all directions made her realize that there was a boat moored in front of the pier, and the draft was not small, which was bigger than the one she took in Yuyang County. Fishing boats are much bigger.

The "creaking" sound of the wooden planks connecting the deck and the pier reminded someone to get off the boat, said a few words to Li Jingxuan, and then stood aside.Cen Zhu felt like a thorn in his back, feeling that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him.This is really embarrassing. Fortunately, the whole face of the fish basket was stuck. If half of it was caught, it would be laughed to death if it spread, and there was no way to gain a foothold in Jiankang City.

The deck was very empty. After walking about ten steps, Cen Zhu felt that he had only reached the middle.The hull was very stable, completely different from the bumpy boats Cen Zhu had been on before.The sound of the raging waves that I heard on the pier is here? It seems so small that I can't hear it.In short, here? It's like an island of safety.
