Those years of falling in love with Mosaic [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 71 The Nanfeng Pavilion Congliang Story
Kou veteran cadre is not stupid.He had just told General Qiu the night before, and the next day there was an endless stream of customers who came to buy calligraphy and paintings, and each of them almost praised him to the sky.Had there been no connection between the two, he could have made his cubs swallow the snake.
Tun Ping's heart is obviously clear, he turned his head and said to Kou Qiu: "...Father, our business is not worth it."
Daddy paid for the paintings and calligraphy we painted, and the buyers and sellers are all from our own family, so how can we get a little bit of a bargain?
Kou Qiu thought so, when he returned to the general's mansion that day, he asked about it.
General Qiu looked extremely innocent, as if he didn't know what to ask.
"I don't know," he took off the court clothes on his body, and added, "Those guests have good eyesight, so they must really appreciate it."
Said extremely high-sounding.
Kou Qiu: "..."
He took a breath, a bit dumbfounded, and simply took a step forward, quietly staring at the man's heavy eyes.
"Look at me and tell me," he said softly, "you really didn't order this?"
General Chou's dark eyes stared at him firmly. After a long while, his throat suddenly rolled up and down, pulling him over without warning, kissed the dense eyelashes, and swallowed again. With those quivering eyelids.
Kou Qiu, who was kissed suddenly, looked dazed, but the system boy saw it through at a glance, 【Dad thinks you look at him like that so cute. 】
Kou Qiu put the hair that was messed up by the man back to its original position, feeling a little helpless.
The general didn't look him in the eye.
He smiled and sighed, already knowing the other party's answer.
——This is clearly the work of General Qiu.
But what else can I do, who makes him the considerate storm in this world?I really can't bear to blame this person.
Kou veteran cadre had to wait patiently.
The next day, the academy was still deserted, but at least the first booklet was sold.Everyone in the academy was very happy. Two altars of good wine were dug out from under the tree at the entrance of Nanfeng Academy, and the jars were tightly sealed with yellow mud. Come down, and then take off the altar seal, you can smell the clear and lingering aroma of wine.
Before entering the mouth, the fragrance seems to be intoxicating.
Tun Long used all his energy to move the jar up, and wiped the dirt on it with a clean cloth, exposing the red mud of the jar.He looked at the jar and said, "Originally, it was said that it would be reopened when the body is redeemed..."
But now he doesn't need to redeem himself, and naturally he doesn't need to wait for this jar of wine that is far away.Tun Long waved his hand proudly, and several people immediately stepped forward and poured the clear wine into a small delicate bowl.
The ups and downs of hops came.
Good wine needs goods.Tun Long took a sip and felt all kinds of flavors in his chest.Sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, as if he buried all his things for so many years in it.
He drained the rest of the cup freely, and then clicked his tongue, feeling the rush from the tip of his tongue.
"Good wine!"
The bottle next to him clinked glasses with him, making a crisp crashing sound.
With this sip, he drank all the sorrows and sorrows of his previous life.
What will happen next?
No one knows what will happen in the future, but the one standing here now is no longer Tunlong, the young man who was famous in the capital.
The days started to get back on track a little bit.
In order to sell calligraphy and paintings better, after discussing with Han Ping, Kou Qiu decided to change these landscape paintings on weekdays—the content of the paintings is directly related to the content of Tunlong’s daily brochures, or the scenery depicted in them , or exciting new characters, gradually became more popular.Tun Long has always loved to write about mountain spirits and ghosts, and the women and men in his works are just like himself, exuding an indescribable charm, pinching people's souls openly and secretly.When Han Ping was painting, his style became ghostly and erratic. Those gorgeous eyebrows hung in the museum like this. Sometimes even Kou Qiu walked by, and he would be startled by the flickering fox above him. shock.
Several handymen avoided these paintings, saying that they could be sucked in just by looking at them.
Kou Qiu couldn't help but laugh.
Although the business is still not much, at any rate there are four or five a day.Occasionally, regular customers came to the door, still thinking that this was the previous small restaurant, and when they came up, they wanted to order Tunlong and others, but they were dragged out by the strong handymen, and they used their physical strength to carry out a profound ideological education.
Young Master Bai who came with Qiu Lie before also came again.
Mr. Bai is an old regular customer here, and his fate with Tun Long and the others has deepened many times.On such a cold day, he was still waving a folding fan in his hand, shaking it in an extremely coquettish manner, and walked straight into the door, "Hey, Boss Liu, are we open for business again now?"
He stood in front of the door with great interest, gathered his energy and looked at the sign above it for a while.
Seeing this, he was really surprised.
"Nanfeng Academy? Boss Liu, are we really changing it into a calligraphy and painting academy?"
When those dandies told him before, he took it as a joke. He has been in this love scene for so many years, but he has never heard of a small mansion that can be turned into an academy.But now that he saw the signboard with his own eyes, he couldn't help but not believe it.
Nanfeng Pavilion is a cornucopia.In the Treasure Book of Flower Appreciation, four of the top five places can be occupied by Nanfeng Pavilion, and only one Langyue belongs to Qingfeng Pavilion, and it has long since disappeared.
It can be said that Nanfeng Pavilion is the one that dominates.Why throw away this easy, lucrative business, and do the thankless and laborious work of selling calligraphy and painting?
Instead of taking the easy avenue, I chose to step on these rugged and barren paths.Young Master Bai really couldn't figure it out.
He leaned back on the seat inside, and opened his mouth and said, "Now there is a rich businessman from Jiangnan, and what he does is all business from the top."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and then said again, "The wealthy businessman now has the title of an imperial businessman, with a wealth of money, and the capital is like dirt. He is looking for a handsome young man. I think Han Ping looks somewhat similar to the eyebrows and eyes in that painting, and he is not too young now, why don't Boss Liu think about it and let people from Zhang Fushang come and see each other?"
Han Ping at the side was stunned when he heard this.He lowered his head, suppressed the inexplicable look in his long eyes, and still slowly brought the teacup in his hand to the table, right next to Mr. Bai.
He laughed softly and said, "Young Master Bai is absurd. Now that Han Ping is getting older, I dare not say that he can really serve Master Zhang well."
Young Master Bai shook his folding fan again, apparently not satisfied with the answer, "Master Zhang is generous with money and considerate to others, and he is only around thirty years old. I think he is a good match for you. What is wrong with him?" Do you agree?"
Han Ping said with a smile: "What kind of person is Han Ping, who has the right to say that he is not satisfied with such an honorable elder?"
Kou Qiu couldn't help frowning when he heard Han Ping's self-deprecating words.
However, he didn't say anything immediately.
Han Ping politely refused, and asked Mr. Bai not to mention this matter in front of that old master Zhang.Afterwards, he was still as gentle and peaceful as ever, only when he had nothing to do, he would show a somewhat absent-minded appearance.
A few days later, the master Zhang that the young master Bai called came to the door.
When he stepped into Nanfeng Academy, the academy was sending away a guest who still used it as a small guest house.The guest came in without saying a word and wanted to stroke Xiao. Seeing that several people came up to dissuade him, he was even more furious. He bluntly said that he wanted to find the government to behead all those who dared to attack him.
"However, a few young men, do you really think that you can clean it with just a few strokes?" He jumped up and said, "I have money! Who dare not come to accompany you, I—"
He didn't finish his sentence, because Tunlong immediately released the snake from his gourd.
The guest suddenly became dumb, panting heavily, like a red-crowned rooster whose neck had been strangled, and could only shake the crest feathers on his head weakly.
He looked at the group of strong handymen around him, and after a while, he finally managed to choke out a few words.
"You...you..."
Han Jing slowly knelt down in front of him.
"My lord," he said in a soft voice, "we are doing serious business here. If you want to have some other fun, you'd better move to another place."
Seeing the guest's expression, he added leisurely, "After all, you can understand what is written on this plaque, but the snake that devours dragons can't."
"But I saw you in the treasure book of appreciating flowers," the guest continued to yell, "you are clearly a young lady! You are a lowly citizen—"
The smile on Han Ping's face gradually disappeared.
"Those of us who have become humble, our lives are no less humble than yours." He looked straight into the guest's eyes, the eyes were shaking, and he couldn't tell whether it was sadness or something else, "In this life, I'm afraid you don't understand the word helplessness."
"It's okay, I'll understand later."
He slowly stood up straight, and was about to let the guest who listened in a daze be thrown out of the door, but he heard another voice suddenly coming from behind, "I understand."
Hanping's back suddenly froze.
"I know."
Boss Zhang, who stepped into this place for the first time, repeated the words just now, and just looked straight at the man in front of him, at his thin back, "I understand, Second Master—so, you and the slave Let's go back?"
Containing the bottle didn't look back.
He just said: "You have identified the wrong person."
The voice is hoarse.
Mr. Zhang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "After so many years, I naturally can't recognize your appearance; but the painting will not change, and I am familiar with the brushstrokes. I have been studying with you for so long How could you not know what your painting looks like?"
Han Ping still stood stubbornly, even refusing to turn around to look at this person.He just tightened his palm a little bit, and said the words again.
"......You got the wrong person."
Boss Zhang sighed hoarsely, but he didn't force him, he just said: "I will come tomorrow."
he's gone.
Han Ping fell to the chair, his face was blank for a moment.That second master sounded like a thread, tugging at his heart all of a sudden, trying to pull him straight back to 20 years ago.
But he shook for a while, and pulled back the restless heart again.
Can't think about it.
At that time, the child who was taught to paint in the arms of his father is now a lost heart who has rolled in the dust.
Where does he have the face to recognize these old friends?
Kou Qiu was not in the academy, so Tun Long came up to him, looked at the bottle curiously, and went to look thoughtfully at the back of that Boss Zhang leaving.
"With a bottle?"
He held the bottle without answering, pursed his lips tightly, and closed his eyes forcefully.
"...with a bottle?"
Tun Long shouted again, feeling a little worried in his heart, and shook him with his hand.The young man just woke up from his own thoughts, glanced at him, and said, "What are you doing?"
Tun Long ate the melon seeds and asked, "Who was that just now?"
Han Ping didn't want to talk about it in detail, he just said vaguely: "The wrong guest."
Tun Long looked at him for a while, then slowly narrowed his eyes.
That afternoon, as soon as Kou Qiu returned to the museum, Tun Long immediately ate melon seeds to gossip with his father.He sat down on the chair in Kou Qiu's room, and said seriously: "Father, I think there is a lover in the bottle."
Senior officer Kou was really concerned, and immediately asked, "Really?"
"Yes," Tun Long spat out a melon seed shell, told what he saw and heard today, and happily shared the hard-won gossip with Kou Qiu, "Dad didn't look at Han Ping's face at that time, then She is just like a resentful woman who has been abandoned and now refuses to turn her head back——I have already decided, and I will write this in my next short story."
Kou Qiu doesn't care what is written in the little storybook, he only cares about his son, "What is that man like?"
Tun Long pondered for a long time, and finally gave an answer: "Two eyes, one nose and one mouth."
Veteran officer Kou: "..."
Tun Long said: "Father, we have met so many men before, how can we tell which one looks like!"
The left and right are all personal appearances, but some are better human appearances, and some are shabby human appearances.Anyway, after going to bed, they basically look the same.
Kou Qiu heard from him that the guest would come tomorrow, so he didn't go out on the street the next day, and concentrated on waiting for his second son-in-law to come to Nanfeng Academy.
Boss Zhang really came again, and brought a box full of silver, and bought all the paintings in the bottle.
He didn't talk to Han Ping much.However, Hanping was absent-minded all day, and stained his hands with ink from the inkstone several times.
Kou veteran cadre smelled the taste of cultivation.
Little did he know that after the news reached General Qiu's ears, General Qiu immediately and keenly sensed that his position as the number one benefactor might be shaken.In order to prevent it from changing hands, he immediately held a banquet in the general's mansion. At the banquet, a screen with a vase painting was used, and he greatly praised it, especially the wisdom and foresight of the owner of Nanfeng Academy.
Thanks to Tunlong, the romantic anecdote between him and the boss of Nanfeng Pavilion has spread to every corner of the capital.Now after hearing this, those officials exchanged glances with each other, and they felt more confident.
On the second day, Nanfeng Academy ushered in a new peak period of crowds, Han Ping and several others were busy entertaining them, laughing so hard that their mouths were sore.
Kou Qiu didn't worry about the academy anymore, he had more important things to worry about.
It's a bit absurd to say, but the old cadre Kou is really serious about making a thoughtful assault.
What's the first thing a thoughtful storm does?
——It is an unforgettable and special date for his shou Zhang Luo!
So Kou Qiu pondered for a long time, and finally decided to invite General Qiu out to watch the lanterns on the day of Shangyuan Festival.
As soon as he proposed, General Qiu was naturally overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.He also asked him: "Shall I let the carriage pick you up?"
Kou veteran cadre shook his head again and again, seriously vetoing back, "No."
The man's expression darkened.
"I should pick you up," Kou Qiu said, "I'll meet you in front of the general's mansion that night."
General Qiu was overjoyed to see this person at first, and then after he left, he tasted something not quite right.
...What is "should I pick you up"?
Isn't this a bit strange?
Kou Qiu is a little nervous about making a date for the first time.
His clothes for the day were made by the boys in the museum.The inside of Yunqing is matched with the white fox fur cloak on the outside, making it more and more obvious that the face is small and white, and the skin is reflected so that the light blue blood vessels winding and coiling inside can be seen.
When he poked his head out of the car, even General Qiu, who was used to seeing him, couldn't help being startled.Afterwards, the man coughed softly, stepped into the car, put his hands on his head first, stroked the fox fur on the cloak, and then stroked his hair, like rubbing a rabbit.
Kou Qiu: 【...If this continues, I might become a Mediterranean without waiting for middle age. 】
Even though my hair is quite thick, you can't help but pluck my hair every day!
The system cub imagined the image of the host's father Mediterranean in his mind, and immediately shuddered, with lingering fears in his heart, he said: 【Dad, I'd better stop touching it. 】
Being bald is horrible.
The street is very lively.
Kou Qiu peeled off the curtain of the car to look, and all kinds of lanterns outside were connected into a piece, those of lotus, carp, snowflakes... one after another were colorful and brilliant, and the jumping candles connected to form a Milky Way flowing on the ground , It's really fiery trees and silver flowers.Kou Qiu himself seemed to be in this Milky Way, dazzled by such a huge shock.
General Qiu saw that he liked it at a glance, and quietly took out the broken silver, and while the young man was only looking out, he ordered the accompanying shadow guards to buy a lamp.
The shadow guard asked in a low voice, "General, what kind do you want to buy?"
General Qiu turned his head back again, and began to see where Kou Qiu's gaze stayed.
"Look at that!" Senior officer Kou happened to turn his head at this moment, and pointed to the man next to him in surprise, "That monkey fishing for the moon is so realistic!"
General Qiu's heart trembled when he saw such blunt and joyful eyes, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand again, and touched the young man's head.
After a while, he calmly said, "A few of you."
He paused, and then said: "That monkey fishing for the moon, it must be."
The shadow guard was ordered to leave, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The flow of people is increasing, and the carriage is gradually unable to move forward.Kou Qiu and the man got out of the car, followed the crowd, and walked towards the moat outside the city.They walked and looked all the way, and when they saw something they liked, they stopped and bought one, holding it in their hands.
General Qiu also bought him candied haws, and stuffed the whole thing into the young man's hands.
The atmosphere in the city is not completely conservative. During the Shangyuan Festival, it is the time when these boys and girls who are in Shaoai are in love.The streets are full of intoxicating fragrances, and those exquisite sachets seem to have eyes, and they fall into the arms of the person in the image of its owner.
Kou Qiu also picked up a lot, seeing the eyes of those girls flying over, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
Perhaps it was because of his gentle temperament, and his face was indeed delicate, and there were no shortage of girls to like it.Before he could go back, he saw the man beside him suddenly pursed his thin lips, picked up the sachet from his arms, aimed it with his eyes, then raised his hand, and threw it back the same way. .
Kou Qiu: "..."
The sachet was slammed back into the girl's arms steadily. The girl who was smashed obviously never thought that the thing sent out would come back one day, and her expression was a little dazed for a while.
...what is this for?
What about throwing it back?
They didn't believe in evil, and when they wanted to throw it again, they caught a glimpse of the man's gloomy face, and couldn't help but shrink back. They felt their scalps go numb for a while, so they could only take the things back in their hands angrily.
General Qiu was satisfied with this.
Holding the hand of the young man beside him, he walked all the way to the bank of the moat, and there were already many people by the river.The lanterns of various colors were gently pushed, placed on the river, and drifted towards the bridge along the water.The shadows of dancing candles are all over the water, just like another piece of stars sinking in the water opposite to the stars in the sky.
Kou Qiu squatted by the river, and also touched the water.The water between his fingers splashed, and he smiled back and asked, "Does the general want to make a wish?"
The man looked at his face under the moon and the candle, at the bright and dark lights and shadows above him, and his eyes that could see clearly even in the shadows.His throat moved, and he squatted down beside the young man, and said in a deep voice, "Naturally."
There was a note in the lantern I bought just now, Kou Qiu carefully flattened the square inch of paper, and then used the brush that I had prepared in advance to write my wish on it bit by bit.
After finishing writing, he didn't look back, so he hid the paper in his hand, hung it in the lamp, and turned to look at the man with a smile.General Qiu had also finished writing, so he hung the paper in the lamp, and then pushed it lightly, and the lotus lamp swayed along the water waves and moved towards the distance.
Kou Qiu looked at the two lamps going away slowly, and said, "I don't know if I can catch them downstream."
General Qiu said firmly: "It will be possible."
Kou Qiu looked back at him in surprise, his eyes flickered, but he smiled again: "It doesn't matter if you can't get it—" His voice was low, revealing a bit of tenderness mixed with this emotion. , "If you can't come back, I will tell the general directly."
General Qiu was already planning to have someone intercept Kou Qiu's lamp, but he paused after hearing this.
The two went downstream.The river gradually turned into a shoal, and countless lanterns stayed here, spinning around on the shoal.Someone had already gone to fish for the lamps, but after a while, someone gradually realized something was wrong, "Why are there so many lamps with the word "Chou" on them?"
Kou Qiu looked at it for a while, then turned back to look at General Qiu in surprise.At the same time, General Qiu had already recognized Kou Qiu's lamp from among the thousands of lanterns, he didn't want it to fall into the hands of others, so he pulled it over the water and held it in his hands wetly.
What Qiu Lie wrote was in the hands of Kou Qiu.
The two looked at each other for a while, General Qiu tried to calm down and said, "Open it and have a look."
They each unfolded the note in the lamp.
"I......"
"I like you."
General Qiu was the first to read it aloud, and then he pursed his lips tightly, as if he was forcibly suppressing something.There were magnificent emotions in his eyes, and after half a day, he raised his eyes firmly to look at the young man.
Senior officer Kou's face turned red.
His cheeks were flushed, but he looked back at the man seriously.
The emotion in General Qiu's eyes gradually became inexplicable, and finally he stroked his hair and said in a low voice, "Your."
A strange premonition suddenly surged in Kou Qiu's heart.
He slowly unfolded the note in his hand, and he really saw a line of words in it that was exactly the same as his own.
"I like you."
The hidden guards squatted on the tree, their hearts were also extremely happy.
It is not in vain that they put more than 500 lamps in the river, and they still have a connection.
The system cub was also very moved, but he didn't forget the topic.
[Important,] It reminds its host, [Important! 】
Kou veteran cadre then took a deep breath and showed his courage as a strong attacker.
"General Qiu," he insisted on saying every single word even though his neck was red, "maybe, would you like to sleep with me?"
"..."
This co-sleeping is obviously not the usual co-sleeping.
The color in General Qiu's eyes suddenly deepened, as if he was looking at a fat rabbit who was desperately adding firewood to the pot and jumped into the pot thinking he had washed it clean.
Kou Qiu was caught by his eyes, then took a step back suddenly, and swallowed.
"Chou... General Qiu?"
why are you looking at me like that
Didn't you not lift it?
General Qiu said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
Kou Qiu vaguely felt something was wrong.
He confirmed with the cub again, 【He doesn't lift, right? 】
The system looked at Dad without blinking, and said: [Yes, yes, yes. 】
Yes, that's right, that's right.
With your body, you can be attacked at a glance!
Tun Ping's heart is obviously clear, he turned his head and said to Kou Qiu: "...Father, our business is not worth it."
Daddy paid for the paintings and calligraphy we painted, and the buyers and sellers are all from our own family, so how can we get a little bit of a bargain?
Kou Qiu thought so, when he returned to the general's mansion that day, he asked about it.
General Qiu looked extremely innocent, as if he didn't know what to ask.
"I don't know," he took off the court clothes on his body, and added, "Those guests have good eyesight, so they must really appreciate it."
Said extremely high-sounding.
Kou Qiu: "..."
He took a breath, a bit dumbfounded, and simply took a step forward, quietly staring at the man's heavy eyes.
"Look at me and tell me," he said softly, "you really didn't order this?"
General Chou's dark eyes stared at him firmly. After a long while, his throat suddenly rolled up and down, pulling him over without warning, kissed the dense eyelashes, and swallowed again. With those quivering eyelids.
Kou Qiu, who was kissed suddenly, looked dazed, but the system boy saw it through at a glance, 【Dad thinks you look at him like that so cute. 】
Kou Qiu put the hair that was messed up by the man back to its original position, feeling a little helpless.
The general didn't look him in the eye.
He smiled and sighed, already knowing the other party's answer.
——This is clearly the work of General Qiu.
But what else can I do, who makes him the considerate storm in this world?I really can't bear to blame this person.
Kou veteran cadre had to wait patiently.
The next day, the academy was still deserted, but at least the first booklet was sold.Everyone in the academy was very happy. Two altars of good wine were dug out from under the tree at the entrance of Nanfeng Academy, and the jars were tightly sealed with yellow mud. Come down, and then take off the altar seal, you can smell the clear and lingering aroma of wine.
Before entering the mouth, the fragrance seems to be intoxicating.
Tun Long used all his energy to move the jar up, and wiped the dirt on it with a clean cloth, exposing the red mud of the jar.He looked at the jar and said, "Originally, it was said that it would be reopened when the body is redeemed..."
But now he doesn't need to redeem himself, and naturally he doesn't need to wait for this jar of wine that is far away.Tun Long waved his hand proudly, and several people immediately stepped forward and poured the clear wine into a small delicate bowl.
The ups and downs of hops came.
Good wine needs goods.Tun Long took a sip and felt all kinds of flavors in his chest.Sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, as if he buried all his things for so many years in it.
He drained the rest of the cup freely, and then clicked his tongue, feeling the rush from the tip of his tongue.
"Good wine!"
The bottle next to him clinked glasses with him, making a crisp crashing sound.
With this sip, he drank all the sorrows and sorrows of his previous life.
What will happen next?
No one knows what will happen in the future, but the one standing here now is no longer Tunlong, the young man who was famous in the capital.
The days started to get back on track a little bit.
In order to sell calligraphy and paintings better, after discussing with Han Ping, Kou Qiu decided to change these landscape paintings on weekdays—the content of the paintings is directly related to the content of Tunlong’s daily brochures, or the scenery depicted in them , or exciting new characters, gradually became more popular.Tun Long has always loved to write about mountain spirits and ghosts, and the women and men in his works are just like himself, exuding an indescribable charm, pinching people's souls openly and secretly.When Han Ping was painting, his style became ghostly and erratic. Those gorgeous eyebrows hung in the museum like this. Sometimes even Kou Qiu walked by, and he would be startled by the flickering fox above him. shock.
Several handymen avoided these paintings, saying that they could be sucked in just by looking at them.
Kou Qiu couldn't help but laugh.
Although the business is still not much, at any rate there are four or five a day.Occasionally, regular customers came to the door, still thinking that this was the previous small restaurant, and when they came up, they wanted to order Tunlong and others, but they were dragged out by the strong handymen, and they used their physical strength to carry out a profound ideological education.
Young Master Bai who came with Qiu Lie before also came again.
Mr. Bai is an old regular customer here, and his fate with Tun Long and the others has deepened many times.On such a cold day, he was still waving a folding fan in his hand, shaking it in an extremely coquettish manner, and walked straight into the door, "Hey, Boss Liu, are we open for business again now?"
He stood in front of the door with great interest, gathered his energy and looked at the sign above it for a while.
Seeing this, he was really surprised.
"Nanfeng Academy? Boss Liu, are we really changing it into a calligraphy and painting academy?"
When those dandies told him before, he took it as a joke. He has been in this love scene for so many years, but he has never heard of a small mansion that can be turned into an academy.But now that he saw the signboard with his own eyes, he couldn't help but not believe it.

Han Ping at the side was stunned when he heard this.He lowered his head, suppressed the inexplicable look in his long eyes, and still slowly brought the teacup in his hand to the table, right next to Mr. Bai.
He laughed softly and said, "Young Master Bai is absurd. Now that Han Ping is getting older, I dare not say that he can really serve Master Zhang well."
Young Master Bai shook his folding fan again, apparently not satisfied with the answer, "Master Zhang is generous with money and considerate to others, and he is only around thirty years old. I think he is a good match for you. What is wrong with him?" Do you agree?"
Han Ping said with a smile: "What kind of person is Han Ping, who has the right to say that he is not satisfied with such an honorable elder?"
Kou Qiu couldn't help frowning when he heard Han Ping's self-deprecating words.
However, he didn't say anything immediately.
Han Ping politely refused, and asked Mr. Bai not to mention this matter in front of that old master Zhang.Afterwards, he was still as gentle and peaceful as ever, only when he had nothing to do, he would show a somewhat absent-minded appearance.

"However, a few young men, do you really think that you can clean it with just a few strokes?" He jumped up and said, "I have money! Who dare not come to accompany you, I—"
He didn't finish his sentence, because Tunlong immediately released the snake from his gourd.
The guest suddenly became dumb, panting heavily, like a red-crowned rooster whose neck had been strangled, and could only shake the crest feathers on his head weakly.
He looked at the group of strong handymen around him, and after a while, he finally managed to choke out a few words.
"You...you..."
Han Jing slowly knelt down in front of him.

"But I saw you in the treasure book of appreciating flowers," the guest continued to yell, "you are clearly a young lady! You are a lowly citizen—"
The smile on Han Ping's face gradually disappeared.
"Those of us who have become humble, our lives are no less humble than yours." He looked straight into the guest's eyes, the eyes were shaking, and he couldn't tell whether it was sadness or something else, "In this life, I'm afraid you don't understand the word helplessness."
"It's okay, I'll understand later."
He slowly stood up straight, and was about to let the guest who listened in a daze be thrown out of the door, but he heard another voice suddenly coming from behind, "I understand."
Hanping's back suddenly froze.
"I know."
Boss Zhang, who stepped into this place for the first time, repeated the words just now, and just looked straight at the man in front of him, at his thin back, "I understand, Second Master—so, you and the slave Let's go back?"
Containing the bottle didn't look back.
He just said: "You have identified the wrong person."
The voice is hoarse.
Mr. Zhang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "After so many years, I naturally can't recognize your appearance; but the painting will not change, and I am familiar with the brushstrokes. I have been studying with you for so long How could you not know what your painting looks like?"
Han Ping still stood stubbornly, even refusing to turn around to look at this person.He just tightened his palm a little bit, and said the words again.
"......You got the wrong person."
Boss Zhang sighed hoarsely, but he didn't force him, he just said: "I will come tomorrow."
he's gone.
Han Ping fell to the chair, his face was blank for a moment.That second master sounded like a thread, tugging at his heart all of a sudden, trying to pull him straight back to 20 years ago.
But he shook for a while, and pulled back the restless heart again.
Can't think about it.
At that time, the child who was taught to paint in the arms of his father is now a lost heart who has rolled in the dust.
Where does he have the face to recognize these old friends?
Kou Qiu was not in the academy, so Tun Long came up to him, looked at the bottle curiously, and went to look thoughtfully at the back of that Boss Zhang leaving.
"With a bottle?"
He held the bottle without answering, pursed his lips tightly, and closed his eyes forcefully.
"...with a bottle?"
Tun Long shouted again, feeling a little worried in his heart, and shook him with his hand.The young man just woke up from his own thoughts, glanced at him, and said, "What are you doing?"
Tun Long ate the melon seeds and asked, "Who was that just now?"
Han Ping didn't want to talk about it in detail, he just said vaguely: "The wrong guest."
Tun Long looked at him for a while, then slowly narrowed his eyes.
That afternoon, as soon as Kou Qiu returned to the museum, Tun Long immediately ate melon seeds to gossip with his father.He sat down on the chair in Kou Qiu's room, and said seriously: "Father, I think there is a lover in the bottle."
Senior officer Kou was really concerned, and immediately asked, "Really?"
"Yes," Tun Long spat out a melon seed shell, told what he saw and heard today, and happily shared the hard-won gossip with Kou Qiu, "Dad didn't look at Han Ping's face at that time, then She is just like a resentful woman who has been abandoned and now refuses to turn her head back——I have already decided, and I will write this in my next short story."
Kou Qiu doesn't care what is written in the little storybook, he only cares about his son, "What is that man like?"
Tun Long pondered for a long time, and finally gave an answer: "Two eyes, one nose and one mouth."
Veteran officer Kou: "..."
Tun Long said: "Father, we have met so many men before, how can we tell which one looks like!"
The left and right are all personal appearances, but some are better human appearances, and some are shabby human appearances.Anyway, after going to bed, they basically look the same.
Kou Qiu heard from him that the guest would come tomorrow, so he didn't go out on the street the next day, and concentrated on waiting for his second son-in-law to come to Nanfeng Academy.
Boss Zhang really came again, and brought a box full of silver, and bought all the paintings in the bottle.
He didn't talk to Han Ping much.However, Hanping was absent-minded all day, and stained his hands with ink from the inkstone several times.
Kou veteran cadre smelled the taste of cultivation.
Little did he know that after the news reached General Qiu's ears, General Qiu immediately and keenly sensed that his position as the number one benefactor might be shaken.In order to prevent it from changing hands, he immediately held a banquet in the general's mansion. At the banquet, a screen with a vase painting was used, and he greatly praised it, especially the wisdom and foresight of the owner of Nanfeng Academy.
Thanks to Tunlong, the romantic anecdote between him and the boss of Nanfeng Pavilion has spread to every corner of the capital.Now after hearing this, those officials exchanged glances with each other, and they felt more confident.
On the second day, Nanfeng Academy ushered in a new peak period of crowds, Han Ping and several others were busy entertaining them, laughing so hard that their mouths were sore.
Kou Qiu didn't worry about the academy anymore, he had more important things to worry about.
It's a bit absurd to say, but the old cadre Kou is really serious about making a thoughtful assault.
What's the first thing a thoughtful storm does?
——It is an unforgettable and special date for his shou Zhang Luo!
So Kou Qiu pondered for a long time, and finally decided to invite General Qiu out to watch the lanterns on the day of Shangyuan Festival.
As soon as he proposed, General Qiu was naturally overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.He also asked him: "Shall I let the carriage pick you up?"
Kou veteran cadre shook his head again and again, seriously vetoing back, "No."
The man's expression darkened.
"I should pick you up," Kou Qiu said, "I'll meet you in front of the general's mansion that night."
General Qiu was overjoyed to see this person at first, and then after he left, he tasted something not quite right.
...What is "should I pick you up"?
Isn't this a bit strange?
Kou Qiu is a little nervous about making a date for the first time.
His clothes for the day were made by the boys in the museum.The inside of Yunqing is matched with the white fox fur cloak on the outside, making it more and more obvious that the face is small and white, and the skin is reflected so that the light blue blood vessels winding and coiling inside can be seen.
When he poked his head out of the car, even General Qiu, who was used to seeing him, couldn't help being startled.Afterwards, the man coughed softly, stepped into the car, put his hands on his head first, stroked the fox fur on the cloak, and then stroked his hair, like rubbing a rabbit.
Kou Qiu: 【...If this continues, I might become a Mediterranean without waiting for middle age. 】
Even though my hair is quite thick, you can't help but pluck my hair every day!
The system cub imagined the image of the host's father Mediterranean in his mind, and immediately shuddered, with lingering fears in his heart, he said: 【Dad, I'd better stop touching it. 】
Being bald is horrible.
The street is very lively.
Kou Qiu peeled off the curtain of the car to look, and all kinds of lanterns outside were connected into a piece, those of lotus, carp, snowflakes... one after another were colorful and brilliant, and the jumping candles connected to form a Milky Way flowing on the ground , It's really fiery trees and silver flowers.Kou Qiu himself seemed to be in this Milky Way, dazzled by such a huge shock.
General Qiu saw that he liked it at a glance, and quietly took out the broken silver, and while the young man was only looking out, he ordered the accompanying shadow guards to buy a lamp.
The shadow guard asked in a low voice, "General, what kind do you want to buy?"
General Qiu turned his head back again, and began to see where Kou Qiu's gaze stayed.
"Look at that!" Senior officer Kou happened to turn his head at this moment, and pointed to the man next to him in surprise, "That monkey fishing for the moon is so realistic!"
General Qiu's heart trembled when he saw such blunt and joyful eyes, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand again, and touched the young man's head.
After a while, he calmly said, "A few of you."
He paused, and then said: "That monkey fishing for the moon, it must be."
The shadow guard was ordered to leave, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The flow of people is increasing, and the carriage is gradually unable to move forward.Kou Qiu and the man got out of the car, followed the crowd, and walked towards the moat outside the city.They walked and looked all the way, and when they saw something they liked, they stopped and bought one, holding it in their hands.
General Qiu also bought him candied haws, and stuffed the whole thing into the young man's hands.
The atmosphere in the city is not completely conservative. During the Shangyuan Festival, it is the time when these boys and girls who are in Shaoai are in love.The streets are full of intoxicating fragrances, and those exquisite sachets seem to have eyes, and they fall into the arms of the person in the image of its owner.
Kou Qiu also picked up a lot, seeing the eyes of those girls flying over, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
Perhaps it was because of his gentle temperament, and his face was indeed delicate, and there were no shortage of girls to like it.Before he could go back, he saw the man beside him suddenly pursed his thin lips, picked up the sachet from his arms, aimed it with his eyes, then raised his hand, and threw it back the same way. .
Kou Qiu: "..."
The sachet was slammed back into the girl's arms steadily. The girl who was smashed obviously never thought that the thing sent out would come back one day, and her expression was a little dazed for a while.
...what is this for?
What about throwing it back?
They didn't believe in evil, and when they wanted to throw it again, they caught a glimpse of the man's gloomy face, and couldn't help but shrink back. They felt their scalps go numb for a while, so they could only take the things back in their hands angrily.
General Qiu was satisfied with this.
Holding the hand of the young man beside him, he walked all the way to the bank of the moat, and there were already many people by the river.The lanterns of various colors were gently pushed, placed on the river, and drifted towards the bridge along the water.The shadows of dancing candles are all over the water, just like another piece of stars sinking in the water opposite to the stars in the sky.
Kou Qiu squatted by the river, and also touched the water.The water between his fingers splashed, and he smiled back and asked, "Does the general want to make a wish?"
The man looked at his face under the moon and the candle, at the bright and dark lights and shadows above him, and his eyes that could see clearly even in the shadows.His throat moved, and he squatted down beside the young man, and said in a deep voice, "Naturally."
There was a note in the lantern I bought just now, Kou Qiu carefully flattened the square inch of paper, and then used the brush that I had prepared in advance to write my wish on it bit by bit.
After finishing writing, he didn't look back, so he hid the paper in his hand, hung it in the lamp, and turned to look at the man with a smile.General Qiu had also finished writing, so he hung the paper in the lamp, and then pushed it lightly, and the lotus lamp swayed along the water waves and moved towards the distance.
Kou Qiu looked at the two lamps going away slowly, and said, "I don't know if I can catch them downstream."
General Qiu said firmly: "It will be possible."
Kou Qiu looked back at him in surprise, his eyes flickered, but he smiled again: "It doesn't matter if you can't get it—" His voice was low, revealing a bit of tenderness mixed with this emotion. , "If you can't come back, I will tell the general directly."
General Qiu was already planning to have someone intercept Kou Qiu's lamp, but he paused after hearing this.
The two went downstream.The river gradually turned into a shoal, and countless lanterns stayed here, spinning around on the shoal.Someone had already gone to fish for the lamps, but after a while, someone gradually realized something was wrong, "Why are there so many lamps with the word "Chou" on them?"
Kou Qiu looked at it for a while, then turned back to look at General Qiu in surprise.At the same time, General Qiu had already recognized Kou Qiu's lamp from among the thousands of lanterns, he didn't want it to fall into the hands of others, so he pulled it over the water and held it in his hands wetly.
What Qiu Lie wrote was in the hands of Kou Qiu.
The two looked at each other for a while, General Qiu tried to calm down and said, "Open it and have a look."
They each unfolded the note in the lamp.
"I......"
"I like you."
General Qiu was the first to read it aloud, and then he pursed his lips tightly, as if he was forcibly suppressing something.There were magnificent emotions in his eyes, and after half a day, he raised his eyes firmly to look at the young man.
Senior officer Kou's face turned red.
His cheeks were flushed, but he looked back at the man seriously.
The emotion in General Qiu's eyes gradually became inexplicable, and finally he stroked his hair and said in a low voice, "Your."
A strange premonition suddenly surged in Kou Qiu's heart.
He slowly unfolded the note in his hand, and he really saw a line of words in it that was exactly the same as his own.
"I like you."
The hidden guards squatted on the tree, their hearts were also extremely happy.
It is not in vain that they put more than 500 lamps in the river, and they still have a connection.
The system cub was also very moved, but he didn't forget the topic.
[Important,] It reminds its host, [Important! 】
Kou veteran cadre then took a deep breath and showed his courage as a strong attacker.
"General Qiu," he insisted on saying every single word even though his neck was red, "maybe, would you like to sleep with me?"
"..."
This co-sleeping is obviously not the usual co-sleeping.
The color in General Qiu's eyes suddenly deepened, as if he was looking at a fat rabbit who was desperately adding firewood to the pot and jumped into the pot thinking he had washed it clean.
Kou Qiu was caught by his eyes, then took a step back suddenly, and swallowed.
"Chou... General Qiu?"
why are you looking at me like that
Didn't you not lift it?
General Qiu said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
Kou Qiu vaguely felt something was wrong.
He confirmed with the cub again, 【He doesn't lift, right? 】
The system looked at Dad without blinking, and said: [Yes, yes, yes. 】
Yes, that's right, that's right.
With your body, you can be attacked at a glance!
