There are quite a few down and out people in the capital, only about one-third of them have real talents, and only one-third of these one-third are willing to let go of their stubborn arrogance and let their masterpieces be published in brothels. display.Even so, Qi Qi's gallery also started to operate simply and stutteringly.During the decoration process, the official came to visit once. He has always liked the elegant things of literati, and he also likes beautiful people like jade. It is natural for him to be able to combine the two. To show his importance, he even paid for this little The small gallery inscribed the four characters "green mountains and green waters", which can be regarded as confirming the theme of the paintings exhibited for the first time.

For other people, Zhuyuexuan only needs to ask the little girl in the Xuanli to ask and pick up the paintings, but for the person who made Qi Qi make up his mind to open this small gallery, she has to go out and invite her personally. .

"When will that friend of yours arrive?" Qi Qi sat on the counter of Huichuntang and dangled his legs, No.20 asked Wang Xiaoshi seven times.

"Probably he was spotted by a certain girl again today." Wang Xiaoshi replied tirelessly. There are no guests now, and he is bored, so he is willing to answer several times. Compared with him, others can see more things from her, such as her true emotions, "Did something happen to you recently, I think you are not very happy."

The frequency of Qi Qi's legs shaking slowly decreased, and her head drooped slightly, as if all the energy in her body had been swept away by Wang Xiaoshi's words, "Little Shitou, what did you say in the previous paragraphs?" How do love affairs fail?"

Wang Xiaoshi gave a dissatisfied "Hello" and saw that Qi Qi didn't make fun of him as usual, so he realized that his good friend was seriously asking this question.

"It's just...that's how it failed." He scratched his head and found that he couldn't explain why, "I can't explain this kind of thing. Anyway, I knew in my heart that I had no hope and gave up. Oh... it's emotional." The matter is very mysterious, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words."

He was really emotionally capable when he said the word "Xuan Miao".

Qi Qi was overwhelmed by his serious tone. She found that she had been paying attention to Wang Xiaoshi's previous fifteen failures, but she forgot that all diseases can be good doctors. Wang Xiaoshi must know more about this kind of problem than she does. much.

She rarely showed a humble attitude of asking for advice in front of this friend, and asked, "How do I know if I like someone?"

Wang Xiaoshi is really experienced in this question. In fact, he was still in a state of liking someone on the way to the capital. After a short thought, he replied, "I always think about her, want to be close to her, and don't want her Not happy, but sometimes I can't help but want to tease her and let her talk to myself more."

Qi Qi compared himself and found that everything fits Wang Xiaoshi's description except for "to tease".

"Qi Qi, do you have someone you like?" Wang Xiaoshi asked.

Qi Qi hesitated for a while, then nodded.

Wang Xiaoshi let out a long breath. It is a happy thing for a friend to have someone he likes, but he is also a little worried. After all, the feeling of losing love is not good. When he is going to give Qi Qi a little When discussing, I heard Qi Qi say again: "I just found out a few days ago that the person I like...has a marriage contract."

Wang Xiaoshi didn't realize it for a moment, he tried his best to organize his sentence, searched his guts to find a bunch of comforting words, and was about to say it, when Qi Qi spoke again, "Although I think in the current situation... there is a big It is possible that this engagement will not go on.”

Wang Xiaoshi: ...

He didn't know what to say for a moment, and it took a long time before he said dryly, "If the engagement is really broken, wouldn't it be a good thing for you?"

"I don't know." Qi Qi said, her expression was very disappointed, "I have always thought that a marriage contract is very important to a girl, no matter what the reason is, it is really an act to suddenly dissolve a marriage contract that has been set for 18 years. ... What's more..." That man and the girl's father are mortal enemies.

The establishment and breaking of a "marriage" agreement is a normal thing for men, but it always has a different meaning in the eyes of girls, even for the children of the world.Qi Qi can be as decisive as a man in certain matters, but the handling of his own feelings is obviously not in this kind of matter.

She felt that it was ridiculous for her to judge someone in this way and to be entangled in it. Firstly, the basis was not sufficient, and secondly... what was she?What qualifications do you have to struggle with?What can she do if she is tangled?She hadn't even spoken to him!

Yet she couldn't help herself.

"Are you afraid that what you entrust is not someone?" Wang Xiaoshi couldn't understand the girl's mind for a while, so he could only try to grasp the central idea that Qi Qi wanted to express.

"No, you can't say that." Qi Qi was frightened by Wang Xiaoshi's use of the word "entrusted inhuman", she waved her hands again and again, and stammered to explain, "I, I only met him once, but , and didn't, didn't get to talk...that's the wrong word!"

Wang Xiaoshi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "You are secretly in love."

"Yeah, that's it, what's the matter?" Qi Qi's face flushed red, her eyes widened and she stared at Wang Xiaoshi, secretly determined that if he dared to laugh at him, she would push him to the ground and beat him up.

Wang Xiaoshi was much more kind than Qi Qi, he just looked at his friend sympathetically and asked with concern, "Then what are you going to do now?"

Qi Qi shrank back again, and said sullenly, "I don't know... I don't even know if I want to see him or not. But one thing is for sure, before his engagement is terminated, I will definitely not do stupid things... ..." She couldn't help sighing when she said this, rubbed her face irritably, and said vaguely, "If I had known that he had an engagement, I probably wouldn't have liked him."

These words were probably just words, she knew in her heart what she looked like when she saw that person, she forgot where she was, who was around her, and who could guarantee that she would remember the engagement?

But these words are not completely unreasonable. If she knew that he had a fiancée the day she saw him, she would definitely not let herself miss him day and night, nor would she "like" him.Before that, her moral sense could control her emotions, but now her moral sense can only restrain her behavior.

There is no difference between the two for the person she likes and his marriage partner, it just makes her more tired and uncomfortable.

"Let's let nature take its course." Wang Xiaoshi could only suggest this in the end.

Qi Qi let out a "hmm", and began to clean up his emotions because of the mess caused by this conversation.

After half an hour, Bai Choufei finally arrived at Huichun Hall, he was still holding a jar of wine in his left hand, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Qi Qi, and then said, "Yo, it seems that today's wine is not enough. "

Qi Qi jumped down from the counter and said with a smile, "I just came to ask Mr. Bai about something today, and I'll leave after I'm done. I'll let you two men drink enough."

"Ask." Bai Choufei said.

"It's like this..." Qi Qi introduced the situation of the small gallery he built, and then asked, "I wonder if Mr. Bai has any extra landscape paintings that can be sold to Zhuyuexuan?"

Bai Choufei smiled and said, "I heard someone talking about the solicitation for brothels in the market today, but I didn't expect it to be Zhuyuexuan's handwriting. If I'm lucky, I might meet Bole, so why not do it? "

Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief after getting a positive answer, and left Huichun Hall after agreeing on the time to pick up the painting, leaving Wang Xiaoshi and Bai Choufei to talk to each other.

On the way back, she thought about the impression she had of Bai Choufei after these few encounters, and felt that she could not get close to his friend like Wang Xiaoshi.Bai Choufei and Wang Xiaoshi are completely different people. This person is too utilitarian and has a certain amount of scheming. Although he can't be said to be a bad person, it is always tiring to get along with him.

In order for the gallery to play a role, Qi Qi and Meng Huaqiu decided to advance the opening time of Yueyue Pavilion by about a stick of incense after discussion. The early guests who were in a hurry would naturally be in the mood to appreciate the paintings instead of staring at the empty stage all the time.

The official also came to the gallery for a while while waiting for the master to dress up, and made some comments on some works, both good and bad. He was especially concerned about the poems on the paintings. Hua showed a certain liking, and the father-in-law behind him would write down his name, presumably these people should be of certain benefit in the imperial examinations in the next few years.

It's a pity that the officials didn't like Bai Choufei's works, maybe he didn't appreciate the overly hot ambition.
