Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 230 Scallion pancake, soybean milk and yam porridge (5)

Xun Zhou was taken aback by the inexplicable young man's voice, and felt that he was like a bird called a peacock that Yu Jijiu mentioned before, who would open its tail and call it a tribute to Silla. "A full body of colorful feathers was displayed in front of the young lady.

   He didn't want to be too verbose with him, he just asked the two people in front of him to leave quickly, so Xun Zhou still didn't raise his head, he just lowered his head and said "yes".

  Although he didn't look up, he wasn't a close friend, and he was just a roadside stall "selling paintings" right now, and there was no friendship between the two of them, so there was nothing wrong with bowing his head in response.

But Xunzhou still muttered about the "peacock" that was being displayed, only to hear the young man snort coldly, and suddenly began to criticize: "This red maple painting in the sunset is absolutely unrealistic in terms of brushwork and brushwork. How could it be Drawn by you poor scholar? How dare you pretend to be a famous artist?"

   Poor scholar Xun Zhou: "..." I really don't know if I'm praising him for his good painting skills or calling him poor.

Probably because of the praise and scolding, the poor scholar Xun Zhou was in a calm mood. He wanted to raise his head to speak, but when he thought that there was an acquaintance beside him, he lowered his head halfway up and said: Before I fell, I learned the skills of Danqing from famous teachers for several years!"

  In all fairness, there was nothing wrong with Xun Zhou's answer from the beginning to the end, but the young man was showing off his feathers, and he wanted to suppress others to show his talent.

  Xun Zhou's behavior of hanging his head from beginning to end has become a big problem at this moment.

   "Why are you sneaking around with your head down? The sage once said to others, and those who don't look directly must have ghosts in their hearts!" The young man shouted, "Why don't you raise your head?"

  Xun Zhou: "..." He is familiar with poetry and books, which ghost saint said such a thing? This "peacock" has the ability to ask this saint to come out and confront him! Which law in Darong stipulates that people cannot speak with their heads down?

  In normal times, he, Xun Zhou, would have spent three days and three nights arguing with him, making this "spreading peacock" hop and feel ashamed.

   But right now, he is a poor scholar! Xun Zhou took a deep breath, and after silently reading "Poor Scholar" a few times, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "It's just selling paintings at the stall below, don't look around if you don't buy them!"

   "Who said I won't buy it?" The "Peacock" was unyielding, tugging at the painting, and shouted, "I'll buy all the paintings on your stall!"

Xun Zhou: "..." After all, he underestimated this peacock. If he is really a "poor scholar", he might laugh like crazy when he meets such a rich man. But right now, he hopes that this "peacock" will bring him with him soon. That lady should go!

  Before he opened his mouth, the peacock threw out a dime of silver that couldn’t be smaller from his purse, and shouted: “One tael of silver, my son bought all the paintings on this painting booth…”

  Before she finished speaking, she only heard a "puchi" from the side, and the young lady who had just started and hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

  When the "Peacock" heard the smile of the beautiful woman beside him, he immediately left the "poor scholar" aside, turned around and asked the lady: "Miss Huang San, what's the matter? Why are you laughing?"

The pretty lady at the side pursed her lips, suppressed her smile, coughed dryly, and said, "Forget it, this poor scholar's paintings are not good and worthless, let's put them down and look elsewhere!" He slapped his lips and nose, glanced at the smoky Huren mutton stall opposite, and said, "It's so choking!"

  This young lady’s words are really worth the words of countless sages, "Peacock" immediately put down the words in his hand, and said: "I think so too, how can this poor scholar's painting be worth a tael of silver?"

   While talking, he didn't forget to touch back the broken piece of silver that was thrown out just now!

   Seeing the behavior of this "peacock", Xun Zhou heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time couldn't help sighing: It's really stingy!

  Just when I was lucky to avoid acquaintances, I heard the young lady who hadn’t left yet answer: "Yes! How can I buy this painting for a tael of silver?"

  Xun Zhou, who was just relieved, was startled immediately when he heard the words, and instinctively raised his head, this time he raised his head to meet the eyes of the pretty lady who was looking at her with a suppressed smile on her lips.

  However, the glance was only for a moment, and she immediately took it back. The lady turned her head and never looked at Xun Zhou again, as if she didn't know him.

   This sentence startled Xun Zhou, but it obviously had a different meaning in the ears of the "peacock".

   "Miss Huang San is right, how can this poor scholar's painting be worth a tael of silver?" "Peacock" said, "Let's go!"

  The pretty Miss Huang San didn't say anything else, she covered herself with "um", and left with "Peacock"!

Xun Zhou, who had escaped a catastrophe, breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, looked at the direction the two were leaving, but couldn't help curling his lips: This Miss Huang San has a "notorious reputation", although she looked nothing at first. The merits, but at the moment it seems that at least one thing is good!

   That means the vision is really good! How could his paintings be bought for a tael of silver?

  …

  Although Lin Fei, who had a panoramic view of this scene, was not there, he knew a lot about the conversations of several people by watching their mouth shapes.

After closing his clairvoyance, Lin Fei said to Liu Yuan who came over: "Master Wen, brother Xun's paintings are not considered famous in the market, and he can be regarded as a first-rate painter in terms of painters. You really can't buy him for a tael of money." A painting!"

  Liu Yuan didn't understand Huahua, so he responded, but focused his attention on the pretty lady who left with Mr. Yang's family: "Lin Shaoqing, which family's lady is that?"

  Also, Mr. Xun just drooped his head, and Liu Yuanqi, who was familiar with Xun Zhou, said, "Why is Mr. Xun reacting like...as if he knew him?"

Mr. Xun always follows Yu Jijiu, the king and the group of people, and all he sees when he goes in and out are these famous people. He came to find Master Wen every day and made them feel that the king and this teacher are very relaxed. Now it seems , I was able to go to meet the young ladies in the capital, so it can be seen that there are too few homework assignments!

   "I was very busy when I was studying. How can I have so much free time?" Liu Yuan sighed, "The imperial examination is like tens of thousands of people walking on a single-plank bridge. It is not easy. The homework assigned by the teacher is piled up!"

  Hearing this emotion, Lin Fei shook his head and said, "You're blaming him wrongly, he didn't run to meet this lady by himself!"

oh? If you don't know this way, how can you know? Liu Yuan was puzzled.

  Lin Fei glanced at him, and said: "The young lady's surname is Huang, she is the third in the family, and her father has sought an official position as a servant in the court!"

  Huang...Huang Shizhong? Liu Yuan was taken aback, and when he realized it, he couldn't help but gasped: "No wonder the mother and son of the Yang family are so sure that this father-in-law will accept him!"
