Chapter 69

(PS: Asking for a monthly ticket, I have fallen out of the [-]th place, I don’t ask for rewards, just don’t be too embarrassing)

"Fatty man, you are quite courageous! I heard that you brought back that old liar who molested me yesterday, and are you going to let him be your teacher?"

Abducted Zhu Fangdan back to Wu Yingxiong's mansion on the second morning, finally got permission to enter Shang Wanyi's room to pay respects, and finally Shang Wanyi took the initiative to speak up and drive away the maids in the room, and finally got monk Wanyi to spend time alone Opportunity.In the end, before Fatty Lu was happy, Shang Wanyan's small hands had already grabbed Fatty Lu's fat ears, and she shouted with her eyebrows upside down: "You want to disgust me, don't you? You think that old liar didn't bully me, you You are unhappy, so you brought him back to give him a second chance?"

"You are wronged, little princess, you are wronged to death." Fatty Lu cried out repeatedly, and said with a mournful face: "How dare you have such thoughts? I brought him back as a teacher because I thought his writing was okay. His medical skills are also real, if you stay in the shogunate, if you have a headache, you can even save the cost of soup and medicine."

"You saved the soup and medicine, but what should I do?" Shang Wanyi stared at Fatty Lu, and said viciously: "I feel disgusted when I see that old pervert. If you keep him by your side, what should I do? That old pervert Where is the ghost now? Immediately drive him away, drive him away!"

"I sent Li Tianzhi and the Liu family brothers to protect Miracle Doctor Zhu out, and asked Miracle Doctor Zhu to buy me a medicine and seeds. The medicine is better than the seeds, and Shen Xin has to go to the silversmith's shop to get me something. I don't think so. I can’t come back until dark.” Fatty Lu scratched his bald forehead to explain, and then asked stupidly: “As for the little princess, what should you do? ——Little princess, I’m going back to Qujing, Yunnan to officially take office after the Chinese New Year. You have to go back to Guangdong sometime, thousands of miles away, you can hardly even see him disgusting, so what are you afraid of?"

Shang Wanyan was stunned for a moment, then her heart sank, she slowly opened Fatty Lu's ears, and muttered in a low voice: "It's true, I don't need to look at him disgustingly, let alone look at you... It's even more disgusting." She said arrogantly, but Shang Wanyan's tone was very low.

"Little princess, it's too sad for you to say that." Fatty Lu said aggrievedly: "The humble person has good intentions for you, and has never done anything sorry for you. He is so handsome and handsome, and I dare not say that he is more handsome than you." Pan An, it's not a big problem to surpass Song Yu, how can you say that looking at me is more disgusting?"

Shang Wan gave Fatty Lu a white look, and she didn't even have the strength to scold Fatty Lu for being shameless.Fatty Lu took the opportunity to test: "Little Princess, in fact, if you don't say that, I would risk my beheading and take you to Yunnan. If you comment on me like that, then I really can't do anything about it." It’s gone, and I don’t even have the qualifications to risk my head.”

"Take me to Yunnan?" Shang Wanyan's heart moved, but she hummed: "Going to Yunnan with you? You have a good idea! Why should I go with you?"

"Little princess, I have a good heart." Fatty Lu fanned the flames: "After the incident in Fujian, I can understand the humble position. Little princess, you are very much loved by the prince and princess, but your brothers, For you, it's really a bit...that, so I have been thinking that you, little princess, might be happier if you don't live in Guangdong, so I came up with the idea of ​​taking you back to Yunnan."

"Whimsical." Shang Wanyan said coldly: "I have no relatives or reasons in Yunnan, and I have no relatives. What are you going to do in Yunnan? Who will take care of me?"

"The humble official is willing to serve the little princess." Fatty Lu summoned up his courage, took Shang Wanyi's little hand, stared at Shang Wanyi's beautiful eyes and said solemnly: "When I arrive in Yunnan, I will definitely take care of you and love you in every possible way." , as long as you want, I can take care of you for the rest of your life."

Shang Wanyan is not stupid, of course she can understand Fatty Lu's implication, she tried her best to grab Lu Fatty's clutches in embarrassment, but when she found that she couldn't get away from the struggle, Shang Wanyan had to turn her face away, blushing and said: " You want to be beautiful, and you don’t look in the mirror to see your own appearance? With your appearance, you also want to imitate Sima Xiangru? Are you not afraid that my father will cut you off? "

"Wanyi, as long as you are willing to be Zhuo Wenjun, so what if I will be Sima Xiangru for once?" Fatty Lu knew that the more a lady like Shang Wanyi, the less young men he came into contact with. , That is to scoop out the vegetables in the basket.So Fatty Lu is not afraid of nausea, so he simply said with a glib tongue: "For you, I am willing to take the risk of beheading, and I am willing to give up my current official position and power, and I can even abandon my wealth. I have no complaints or regrets. I am indeed a bit ugly, but I am very gentle..."

"Bah! Bah! Bah!" When Fatty Lu said something, Shang Wanyi blushed and blushed. Later, Shang Wanyi simply covered Fatty Lu's fat mouth with her small hand, and blushed and said angrily: "That's enough!" It's gone! I'm going to throw up, and the goosebumps are almost falling all over the floor! Will you let me have lunch?"

"I'm telling the truth..." Fatty Lu still wanted to speak sweetly, but Shang Wanyi covered Fatty Lu's fat mouth again.

"If you say such disgusting words again, I will kick you out immediately!" Shang Wanyan blushed and threatened, and then shouted: "Okay, you can go now, I'm hungry and want to eat! Are you here?" Here, I can't even take a sip of water—it makes me sick! Do you understand?"

"Understood." Fatty Lu agreed dejectedly, and then said, "Then I'll order food for you. What do you want?"

Seeing Fatty Lu's dejected look, Shang Wanyi, who is not bad by nature, felt a little sorry, so she gave Fatty Lu a chance, pouted and said: "The cooks here are too poor at making vegetarian dishes. The vegetarian dishes are not to my liking. I heard from the sister-in-law of Princess Jianning that there is a vegetarian restaurant called Yaolin Zhaiguan in the Dashilan area of ​​the capital. I want to give it a try."

"Okay, I'll take you with me. Dashilan is not far from here." Fatty Lu agreed.

"No." Shang Wanyan refused with a blushing face, and said, "I will go to a vegetarian restaurant with you to eat, what is this? You go and buy it, and I will eat here."

"You are really difficult to serve." Fatty Lu said with a mournful face: "Okay then, I will ask Erlang to buy it for you, right? My little princess!"

"Just now you said you would take care of me for the rest of your life, but now you're going to reveal your true colors?!" Shang Wanyan was angry, and couldn't help but hum: "What? You don't want to go out for me yourself when you send a servant to buy it. ?”

"Okay, I'll go, I'll go." Fatty Lu agreed with a sad face, but he was smiling wickedly in his heart, "Little girl, do you still want to test me? Little girls with your personality may be rare in this era, but in later generations In the comic books and novels, but as much as you want, let's see how I will eat you little girl to death in the future!"

…………

After accepting the errand given by Shang Wanyi, Fatty Lu took the remaining two dog legs, Xiao Erlang and Fang Shiyu, out, carrying a load of food boxes, first went to the big fence not too far away, and found Shang Wanyi Named Yaolin Zhai restaurant, and then Fatty Lu was not in a hurry to order dishes for Shang Wanyi to pack, but first ordered a table full of vegetarian dishes for himself, Xiao Erlang, and Fang Shiyu, and ordered a few catties of Shaoxing yellow. With the two dog legs, he started eating and drinking.

"Master, don't you want to ask Xiao Gege to buy her vegetarian dishes?" Xiao Erlang asked kindly: "If we wait for us to eat before sending her food, won't she starve to death? Why don't we take our food away?" Put it in a food box too, let’s go home and eat.”

"You know what a fart." Fatty Lu said vaguely while chomping on the delicious vegetarian dishes, "Women just can't get used to them. Let her be hungry for a while, so she will know that I am good. Stop talking, eat quickly. Shiyu, you and I are both fat, so eat more vegetarian dishes, otherwise you will suffer from high blood pressure or diabetes in the future. Trouble."

Fang Shiyu, the little black fat man, agreed foolishly. Although he didn't know what the high blood pressure and diabetes that Fatty Lu was talking about, the whole vegetarian restaurant in this Yaolin restaurant tasted really good, so Fang Shiyu didn't bother to think about it. .Seeing that Fatty Lu insisted, Xiao Erlang had no choice but to sit down and eat and drink with Fatty Lu and Fang Shiyu.But Fatty Lu said he could do it, and he really waited until he, Xiao Erlang, and Fang Shiyu were full, and then ordered a table of vegetarian food for Shang Wanyi, and put it in a food box and handed it to Xiao Erlang and Fang Shiyu to carry it back. government.

Fatty Lu was somewhat conscientious, he was afraid that Shang Wanyi would spoil his stomach if the food was cold, so he walked very fast on the way back, and it didn't take long to return to Shihu Alley, but when he just turned into Shihu Alley, A young man with crooked eyebrows and squinting eyes suddenly rushed over from the wall, so frightened that Fang Shiyu and Xiao Erlang hurriedly stopped in front of Lu Fatty, and shouted together: "What are you doing? What do you want?"

"My lord, you must be a savvy lord, right?" The crooked eyebrows and squinting eyes asked Fatty Lu mysteriously with an authentic Beijing accent.At the end, the squinting eyebrows and even more mysteriously brightened the long cloth bag in his arms, and said, "Good thing, are you interested in taking a look at it? You like it, Master Custodian."

"Not interested." Fatty Lu replied decisively: "If you want to sell stolen goods, go to pawnshops or ghost markets. Lord, I am a member of the officialdom, so I am not interested in these things."

"Grandpa, this is not stolen goods." The crooked eyebrows became anxious, and he said hastily: "To tell you the truth, this is a treasure left by my ancestors, if it wasn't for the fact that I would not be able to survive, I would really be reluctant to sell it. "

"I don't want any kind of baby." Fatty Lu hurried back to deliver food to Shang Wanyan, naturally he was too lazy to entangle with that crooked eyebrow.

"Master, don't you really want to take a look at it?" The crooked eyebrows and squinting eyes were even more anxious, and begged: "Master, please be kind, tomorrow will be New Year's Eve, and the whole family is still counting on this treasure to exchange some money for the New Year, just look at it." Take a look, just take a look, buy it or not, it’s up to you, and the small ones won’t bother you.”

"Then open it and have a look." Xiao Erlang said, a little curiously, putting down the burden of the food box.

"Okay." The crooked eyebrows and squinting eyes happily agreed, and quickly put the long cloth bag on the food box burden, opened the wrapping cloth, revealing a long mahogany box with exquisite carvings, and opened the box again, revealing a slightly yellowed scroll , and then carefully picked up the scroll, "Master, please have a look."

"What the hell?" Fatty Lu lazily unfolded the scroll, and found that it was a pair of flamboyant copybooks. , Fatty Lu couldn't help being startled, and blurted out: "Dong Qichang?!"

"My master has good eyesight. This is Dong Qichang's authentic work." The crooked eyebrows and squinting eyes explained: "To tell you the truth, when Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, the city was in turmoil. The villain's grandfather was at the home of a former Ming official. As a slave, the former Ming official was killed by the soldiers of King Li Chuang, and his home was robbed. The villain's grandfather got this copybook in the former Ming official's study in order to keep it as a family heirloom. But now life is really hard to live on, even the New Year's money is gone, the little one has no choice but to take it out for silver."

"Then why don't you sell it at Liulichang?" Fatty Lu asked warily.

"Go, the bid there is too low." Crooked eyebrows and slanted eyes explained: "I know that Xuanwumen is the place where high officials live, so I want to come here to try my luck and see if I can sell more money for the children. Add two sets of clothes."

"Then how much money do you want?" Fatty Lu asked casually.

"Master, you like it, be a little filial piety, 500 taels is enough." That crooked eyebrow stretched out a slap—and added in his heart, mother, this poster will be sold for at least 3000 taels in Liulichang , sell you 500 taels, you can go for fun.But what the crooked eyebrows and squinting eyes never dreamed of was...

"500 taels?!" Fatty Lu, Xiao Erlang, and Fang Shiyu screamed at the same time, cursing in unison: "Go ahead and grab it, you kid. You can't eat or wear such a light painting, and you still want to sell it for 500 taels." , you should rob the bank!"

"Master, this is Dong Qichang's authentic work!" With crooked eyebrows and slanted eyes, he said with a mournful face, "Master, if you don't believe it, you can ask an expert to appraise it. If it is fake, you chop up the little one!"

"Really don't want it!" Fatty Lu threw back the worthless copybook and squinted his eyes, and said, "500 taels, in Yunnan, is enough for more than 50 families to feed and wear for a year. It's too expensive ,don't want."

"Then how much do you pay?" With crooked eyebrows and squinting eyes, he had nothing to do with Fatty Lu, so he could only pester Fatty Lu and said, "Master, you are kind enough to pay back the price. The small one really wants to sell it, and it's all due to your old man." gone."

"You bastard..." Fatty Lu wanted Fang Shiyu to throw this crooked eyebrow and squinting eyes out of Shihu Alley, but in the blink of an eye, Fatty Lu accidentally saw the wooden box containing the copybooks—what a box, inside The pad is covered with yellow silk, and the mahogany is the rarest chicken wing wood. It is exquisitely carved, embellished with fine beads and broken jade, and the corners are also inlaid with gold-plated - at least Fatty Lu thinks it is gold-plated. Smoked good cinnamon pepper.What's even more rare is that the length, width, and thickness of this long box are just right for what Fatty Lu wants to hold.Fatty Lu couldn't help asking: "I bought your copybook, does this box fit?"

"Is the box good enough?" With crooked eyebrows and squinting eyes, he replied casually, "Of course it is good. If you buy copybooks, sir, this box will be given to you."

"That's good." Fatty Lu raised two fingers and said, "At this price, will you sell it?"

"200 taels?" Slanting eyebrows and squinting eyes, he hurriedly said, "Master, 200 taels is 200 taels, and the younger ones should be treated as filial piety."

"Who said I paid 200 taels?" Fatty Lu said angrily, "I'm talking about two taels of silver, will you sell it?"

"Two taels of silver? Master, what are you kidding me about?" With crooked eyebrows and squinting eyes, he almost fainted out of breath—two taels of silver to buy the most popular authentic Dong Qichang in the capital right now?Or is it the unique authentic work of Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi on the Pipa"? !

"Who is joking with you?" Fatty Lu sneered: "Don't think that the master is from another place. I don't know what the price of Dong Qichang's authentic works is now in the capital! The current emperor likes Dong Qichang, and all the officials in the capital are thinking about him. The real copybook is flattering to the emperor, if your copybook is real, if you take it to an official’s house, you can sell it for at least 2000 taels! You can sell the real Dong Qichang copybook to the master for 500 taels, who is the second?”

"I'm real!" Crooked eyebrows and slanted eyes almost roared out, thinking that others are scholars who meet soldiers, and it's reasonable to say that I, a soldier from the thirteen yamen, can't tell why I can't tell when I meet a scholar?
"Just two taels of silver, will you sell it or not?" Fatty Lu asked very seriously: "If you don't sell it, then take it away. I still have urgent matters."

"It's sold! Who told me to rush to sell silver for the New Year?" Crooked eyebrows and squinting eyes forced back the pain, knocked out teeth and swallowed blood, forced a smile and said: "Master really has good eyesight, actually, let's be honest, little one." I don’t even know if this post is genuine, but I only know that it was passed down from my ancestors, so you can take it to an expert for appraisal, if it is true, then you will make a lot of money.”

"Erlang, take out the money." Fatty Lu ordered casually, and picked up the exquisite box containing Dong Qichang's original work with great care, smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth—this saved another package fee.On the other side, with crooked eyebrows and squinting eyes, he took the two taels of silver handed over by Xiao Erlang with tears in his eyes, handed over Dong Qichang's authentic handwriting to Xiao Erlang, and ran away tearfully holding the silver.

"Master, what should I do with this word? Should I throw it away?" Xiao Erlang asked, shaking the 'fake' Dong Qichang's real handwriting.

"Take it with you." Fatty Lu said casually, "The one on it is cursive script, which is pretty good. When I have free time, I will learn the fonts of cursive script, lest people always say that my handwriting looks like a dog crawling."

"Okay." Xiao Erlang agreed, and said to Fang Shiyu: "Shiyu, you can choose the food box. I'll also read this copybook. It's very well written, and it's covered with a cinnabar seal. Tsk tsk, it's a fake now. , It’s really well done. You have to learn a lesson. In the future, you must not accept the young master’s calligraphy and paintings given by others. If there are too many fake ones, it will be miserable if you are tricked.”

Just like that, Fatty Lu happily held the treasure box, Fang Shiyu picked up the food box, Xiao Erlang flipped through the copybooks, and swaggered back to Wu Yingxiong's mansion.And just after entering the second gate, Wu Yingxiong, Lang Yanshu, and Lin Tianqing came out of the second gate chatting and laughing. After saluting each other, Lin Tianqing saw the copybook in Xiao Erlang's hand at a glance, and couldn't help but stamped his feet and complained: " Mr. Lu, why don’t you call me an old man when you buy calligraphy and paintings? Now that there are so many fakes, what should you do if you get scammed? Come and see, have you been fooled?”

"Master Lin, this thing is fake." Xiao Erlang handed the 'fake' Dong Qizhen's real handwriting to Lin Tianqing, while explaining with a smile: "Only two taels of silver, the young master bought it back to learn running calligraphy."

"Oh, it's only two taels of silver." Lin Tianqing heaved a sigh of relief, took the copybook and looked at it while saying, "Two taels of silver, it's worth it, this fake is well made, there are many places where even the old man can't tell it's fake ...Hey, why are these seals made so realistically? And this ink, which is also Luo Xiaohua ink that Dong Qichang likes to use, is really made..."

While muttering, Lin Tianqing's eyes opened wider and wider, and suddenly he roared, startling Wu Yingxiong, Fatty Lu and others, "Really! It's true! This is absolutely true." "Authentic work!"

"What?" Wu Yingxiong and Lang Yanshu were also surprised, and hurriedly gathered around Lin Tianqing to look at the copybook together.Fatty Lu and Xiao Erlang peeked at each other, thinking in their hearts that no way, it is really such good luck that you can buy Dong Qichang's authentic work for two taels of silver? !
"Really, this is the real thing!" After careful appraisal for a long time, Wu Yingxiong and Lang Yanshu also came to the conclusion that this handwriting is indeed the authentic work of Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Xing Pipa"!
"Lord Lu, tell me quickly, where did you buy this treasure?" Lin Tianqing said excitedly: "Master Lu, do you know? Just this year, because he knew that the emperor liked Dong Qichang's words, the governor of Liangjiang, Lang Ting Zuorang, I paid a high price of 3000 taels of silver in Songjiang Mansion, Dong Qichang's hometown, looking for the authentic work of Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi on the Pipa", and wanted to present it to the emperor, but it didn't work out, where did you buy it?"

"It's at the entrance of Shihu Hutong." Fatty Lu was also a little dumbfounded, and quickly described what happened just now in detail.

"Ah! Why didn't this old man come across such a good thing?!" Lin Tianqing beat his chest and stamped his feet, and shouted angrily: "Why didn't this old man want to go outside for a walk just now? The person who sold you the painting must not know that it is authentic. I thought it was a fake, so I sold it for only two taels of silver! Why didn’t I meet such a kind person? Let alone two taels of silver? It’s 2000 taels! No, 3000 taels!

"Master Lu, good luck." Wu Yingxiong also said enviously: "As expected, he is the number one lucky general of my Pingxi Palace. Such a good thing happened to you."

"Luck, luck." Fatty Lu smirked, but he was regretting in his heart - if he knew that he was so lucky, he should have bought more lottery tickets in the 21st century.At the end, Fatty Lu held up the copybook again hypocritically, and said, "My lord, don't blame me, Mr. Lin is a senior elder, and he likes this copybook so much, so I won't dedicate it to you. Mr. Lin, you If you like it, I will honor it to you as a junior."

"Of course, Mr. Lin is a senior, so we should dedicate it to him first." Wu Yingxiong smiled and nodded.

"What did you give me?" Lin Tianqing calmed down a little, and suggested kindly: "Because the emperor likes Dong Qichang's calligraphy, the price of Dong Qichang's calligraphy and painting in the capital has been increased several times! The hard-to-find Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" was given to you, and you should dedicate it to the emperor."

"That's right." Wu Yingxiong also echoed: "Anyway, Yifeng, you will enter the palace the day after tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor, so you can dedicate it to the emperor when the time comes. When the emperor is happy, it will be beneficial to your future."

"This..." Fatty Lu hesitated a bit. Fatty Lu didn't feel sorry for the authentic work of Dong Qichang's "Bai Juyi Pipa Xing" as a gift to Lin Tianqing or Wu Yingxiong—after all, Lin Tianqing and Wu Yingxiong are both Han Chinese, and the treasures of the Han people are given to them. Just give it to them.But to give it to Xiao Mazi, a tartar, Fatty Lu was extremely distressed——Historically, how many cultural treasures of the Chinese nation were ruined by Kang Xiaomazi and his beast descendants engaging in literary inquisition?

Thinking of this, Fatty Lu said casually: "Well, Senior Lin is determined not to accept it. Thank you Senior Lin for giving back that humble job."

After talking a few more gossips, Fatty Lu remembered that Shang Wanyi was still waiting for him to deliver the meal, so he quickly confessed to Wu Yingxiong, Lin Tianqing and others, and led Fang Shiyu and Xiao Erlang to find Shang Wanyi with food boxes.On the way, Fatty Lu left the box behind, wrapped the calligraphy in a random cloth, handed it to Xiao Erlang and said, "Erlang, you will go to Liulichang alone later, and sell this calligraphy in a shop. If it’s less than 3000 taels, don’t make a move, and the extra silver will be yours.”

"Sold?" Xiao Erlang was stunned, and asked in surprise: "Young master, didn't the son and Lord Lin ask you to dedicate this painting to the emperor? Why are you selling it again? What are you giving the emperor as a New Year's gift?"

"Don't worry, I've already prepared two better gifts." Fatty Lu smiled slightly and said, "3000 taels of silver is enough for us to go back to Qujing for many important things?"
