Painter

Li Chan and Xie Ningzhi didn't know each other very well, only knew that this gentleman was quite aloof, but unexpectedly he was so enthusiastic, and quickly pushed back: "No, no, there are still things to do at home."

"Is Li Lang already married?"

Xie Ningzhi was a little surprised, and smiled again.

"It doesn't matter, singing the wind and playing the moon is not a business of flesh and blood. Among the fireworks girls, those who are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are more talented than literati. Although they entertain people with sensuality, they don't serve pillows and mats. Li Lang doesn't have to worry. A few days ago I heard that Nie Ying, a talented woman from the middle of Sichuan, is here, and this woman is especially good at painting..."

"Let's not talk about Peach Blossom Cave, but now I go to the Water Curtain Temple half a mile away. The famous female history of Yuting in Meizhou is now living in the temple..."

Xie Ningzhi held Li Chan's hand and talked for a while, but Li Chan still declined, Xie Ningzhi asked again: "Could it be because of his practice that Li Lang refuses to get close to women?"

Li Chan said: "It's not."

"That's good, if you're afraid of female sex, I'm afraid you won't be able to cultivate a decent method!" Xie Ningzhi laughed, and pulled Li Chan into the alley, "I went to listen to a tune, drink a pot of jade mash, If there's anything, it's not too late!"

……

The custom in a big country is known as "everyone stays in the flower room, and carries wine vessels everywhere".Xie Ningzhi, a romantic literati, lived the fairy days that so many men dream of.

Since Li Chan has no parents, he does not have the burden of being unfilial and has no offspring. He has never thought about marrying a wife. Besides, he has always been in the company of demons and has never had much contact with any woman, so he is very concerned about the relationship between men and women. , not as enthusiastic as Dayong people.But Xie Ningzhi was not persuaded, followed him into the Peach Blossom Cave, and called a nobleman to play the piano.

Different from ordinary fireworks women who sell flesh and blood, some talented courtesans, if they want to pay a visit, they must first attach a poem of greetings, and they will definitely be able to meet the real person if they get a beautiful woman. The three characters "Xie Ningzhi" are much more effective than greeting poems, when the nobleman heard this, he lowered his posture and went out to greet him.

Xie Ningzhi is indeed a believer, indeed she only drank a pot of wine and listened to a qin, so she no longer forced Li Chan to stay.

But with the time spent by the Qing servants ordering tea and Xie Ningzhixing coming to recite poems, when Li Chan left, it was almost past time.

He left the Peach Blossom Cave, thinking that it is no wonder that everyone from the emperors and princes down to ordinary people take pleasure in sex with prostitutes.

The nobleman just now, apart from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, also knows what men think, even if he said a casual remark, he can respond very naturally. If ordinary people don't spend some money, it may be difficult for ordinary people to meet such An empathetic "confidant".Even Li Chan, although he knew that the other party was flattering, felt that the soft voice was very pleasant, so he drew a picture of Shui Danqing in the tea bowl.

He collected his thoughts, went back to the foot shop in Xingguofang, took out the black donkey, groped in the donkey's harness, and took out a heavy green silk money bag.

The purse belonged to Tu Shanxi, on it was a white fox embroidered with red medicine. It was a bit bloated, but it was somewhat similar to Xu Da. Tu Shanxi had a cold temper, and couldn't help complaining about it several times.

The fox girl is careful, she didn't forget to stuff the money when she went out early in the morning, but Li Chan was careless. Fortunately, this foot shop is quite kind and did not touch the guests' belongings.

Li Chan weighed the purse for a few times, and at this moment, he heard the sound of the copper gong for telling the time in Dongshi, and suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart. He went to drink and listen to music by himself, and the monsters at home might be eager to see through.He also felt that although the Qianyuan Academy hadn't released the list, he had broken through the spiritual scriptures to teach Taoism. Even if he wasn't admitted as a bachelor, he could at least be a direct bachelor, so he happened to buy some wine and vegetables for everyone to celebrate.

After thinking about it, he rode a donkey and followed the sound of the copper gong to the vicinity of the West Market.I went to the meat table to buy white meat, bought stone marrow soup and other dishes in the restaurant, bought Xu Da's favorite crystal corner and Tu Shanxi's favorite roast quail, hired a flat-headed cart, loaded two Ten catties of bean curd wine from Gaoyang Zhengdian.

Returning to Guangzhaifang with the car, the sky was already dark, and the evening vegetarian meeting at Daxiangguo Temple just started, so I went to buy two more bowls of vegetarian food for Mr. Bi.

When I arrived at the entrance of Cangmi Lane, I saw the door of my house, pulled up my collar and sniffed it carefully, there was no smell of makeup, only a little smell of alcohol, and I looked at the wine barrel on the car again, and said to myself: "This is not a problem. ..."

The porter pulled the cart and followed Li Chan to lead the donkey. From a distance, a black crow flew up and a white cat jumped down.

Before the door knocker was knocked, a girl in red opened the door and called for A Lang to come back, ordering the red-faced man behind him to carry food and wine.

After the porter took the money and left, Li Chan closed the door, and Hong Yao looked at the food and drink brought in by Chi Yasha, "Ah Lang bought so much food, I can't finish it in a while."

Li Chan said: "You eat little, but there is no shortage of rice buckets at home." As he spoke, he glanced at Chi Yasha, then at Xu Da.

Hong Yao said helplessly: "Ah Lang misunderstood, it's just that before you came back, Qing Niang bought food and wine."

Li Chan was startled, seeing Sao Qingniang coming out of the kitchen, she smiled wryly, "Qingniang, this..."

Sao Qingniang smiled, and said softly: "Didn't Shaolang learn the magic technique of Dongsheng, blowing water into ice, and keeping the endless food in the well."

Dongsheng is one of Li Chan's 24 demon gods, Xu Da said: "What is the snow boy, if you don't let us take care of it, even a grain of rice won't break!"

Hong Yao snorted, "It's all in your stomach, it's no wonder it's broken."

Xu Da said: "The Goddess is not ignorant of kindness, let's eat more, and send more flowers from the Goddess?"

Hong Yao was stunned for a moment before realizing, "You, are you in the flower garden?" After finishing speaking, she turned around and left, and said anxiously, "Well, Xu Da, if my flowers are burnt..."

A woman and a cat were making noise, Mai Wang approached and asked with concern: "Mr. Lang went to the Qianyuan Academy for a while, did it go well?"

Hearing what the old bookworm said, Hong Yao hurriedly stopped in her tracks.

Xu Da, who hid behind Li Chan, jumped out and shouted: "Even though the Qianyuan Academy is the Holy Land of Dayong, Alang will definitely be able to catch him!" He grabbed the general Huo who was next to him, "Don't you think so?"

"It's the extreme, it's the extreme." General Huo nodded repeatedly.

Seeing the earnest looks of the monsters, Li Chan thought of joking, fell silent, and sighed softly.With this reaction, all the monsters were stunned.

Mai Wang's face froze, "Lang Jun, this... I shouldn't ask..."

Hong Yao was stunned for a long time, at first she was a little disappointed, and then muttered: "The school, what is it? A Lang didn't go, but it was a loss to them."

Xu Da changed his tone, jumped to a corner of the chess pavilion, and shouted: "We have long wanted to say, what's the use of this Laoshiziyu capital, looking at the prosperity? Even if they can stand on the altar, we can't stand it." How can Alang be accommodated in this dirty place? Alang, why don’t we just abandon this Yujing city and roar proudly in the mountains and forests in the future, wouldn’t it be nice?”

Hong Yao spoke ironically, but Xu Da was sincere. Li Chan wanted to make a joke, but couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.

Tu Shanxi, who had been watching the words and expressions beside her, called "Snow Lion Lord", with a slightly heavy accent, obviously not an honorific title, she said quietly: "Ah Lang played tricks on you, but you have deceived your truth."

Xu Da stared wide-eyed, jumped to Li Chan's feet very quickly, and flattered him: "Ah Lang, don't misunderstand, but the fox fairy lady misunderstood us... we... we..."

Hong Yao happily said: "I just said, how could Ah Lang lose to others?"

Seeing that Tu Shansi saw through it, Li Chan didn't pretend anymore, smiled, and was about to speak, when suddenly a call came from the study: "Fucha?"

Li Chan heard Mr. Bi's voice and walked to the study.

As soon as he entered, he saw Bi Junlin window spread out a piece of paper, and looked back at the door, Li Chan understood and closed the door.

Mr. Bi put down his pen, glanced at Li Chan, and said with a meaningful smile: "I came back a bit late."

Li Chan was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "I was delayed on the road."

Mr. Bi said again: "Have you been drinking flower wine?"

Li Chan smiled awkwardly: "It was just dragged away..."

"No need to explain, I told you to interact more with people." He smiled slightly, looked Li Chan up and down, nodded, and said meaningfully: "A child can be taught."

Li Chan coughed dryly, saw ink stains on the paper in front of Mr. Bi, and walked over as if he had found a savior.

I wanted to change the topic, but when I looked at the painting, I was fascinated.

What was painted on the paper was the stars and stars in the sky, the dark place seemed to be sucking people into it, and the starry white place seemed to be really dazzling. look like.

Li Chan never believed that Mr. Bi would knock over the inkstone, he hesitated: "Mr. Bi, this is..."

"I'm going to show you a picture of the sky tonight, so I tried a pen." Mr. Bi looked out the window, "It was a bit unfamiliar, so an old Taoist noticed it and slashed his sword at the sky."
