When the young man saw Gong Cheng's reaction, he bent down to pick up the scroll in amusement, and commented seriously: "The painting skills of these paintings are quite remarkable. Maybe Cao Yi comes out of the water, his brushwork is strong, and the people in the paintings are covered with gauze. Flowing and graceful, it makes people imagine; or Wu Dai is in the wind, the brushstrokes are elegant and round, and the people in the painting are dressed in graceful clothes, as clear as gods, and people dare not blaspheme. In time, the painter will become a great artist!"
Guer also smiled and said: "These paintings are excellent."
The young man followed up and teased Gong Cheng: "Tsk, it's a pity that some people don't appreciate it and don't say anything about it, and they still regard it as a scourge."
Guer pretended to be surprised: "How could it be? Brother Yunchi has a reputation for being good at calligraphy and painting. If he can't appreciate it, wouldn't we..."
Being teased and teased by the two of them with glances and words, Gong Cheng was in a state of high and low, frightened, and unable to laugh or cry.
He had no choice but to beg for mercy and beg them to let him go: "Mr. Gu, Weng Zhi, please don't make fun of me..."
No matter how well you draw——
That is also a secret picture!
It's still a secret drama with an old friend as the protagonist.
Even though it is just a quick glance, it can be seen that the characters' expressions have been captured very accurately. Although they are not similar in form, they are similar in spirit. The painter also wildly expanded the spiritual resemblance of the characters. Even though he knew that the folk customs in the Northern Desert were tough and his old friends were always informal, he was still frightened.
It really shocked him for a whole year!
Looking at those paintings is like looking at a scourge.
Guer said: "Finally a bit popular."
After Gong Cheng was rescued, his whole body was numb and depressed. It would be an exaggeration to say that he looked haggard and his heart was as gray as ashes.
I think back to Gong Yunchi back then - well, it wasn't that far away actually, just a year or two ago at most - this guy dared to race horses, play ball, compete with me and play Cuju. When you win, you sing and drink, but when you lose, you get entangled. If he didn't get what he wanted, he dared to climb out of the window in the middle of the night and threaten to fight again with a knife.
Gong Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "I've made you worry."
"Worrying is the second best thing, and your ability to cheer up is the most important thing."
Young man: "Time has expired, otherwise it will be good in the end."
Gong Cheng pursed his lips and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your kind words, Mr."
After confirming that Gong Cheng's mood had recovered, the young man changed the subject - Gong Cheng's "brother-in-law" was a variable, like a chess piece that appeared out of thin air. He seemed to be outside the situation, but no one could guarantee "him" Will he come out to disrupt the situation at a critical moment?
Furthermore, the timing of this person's appearance was too coincidental. He happened to take over the job of secret drama, and he happened to meet Gong Cheng, who was hiding in Yuehua Building to recover from his injuries. He was also Gong Cheng's ex "brother-in-law." No, it remains to be questioned whether this "brother-in-law" is true or false.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
There are so many coincidences, it seems more like intentionality.
The young man tapped the chessboard with his finger: "How much do you know about your marriage to Mrs. Shen? How much do you know about this 'brother-in-law'?"
Gong Cheng raised his eyes, thought for a while, and shook his head.
He said shyly: "I don't understand."
youth:"……"
Guer: "..."
If there hadn't been an accident, the two of them would have become a legitimate couple. How could he say "don't understand"?
Gong Cheng also felt that he was somewhat outrageous.
But--
He was extremely sincere: "I really don't understand."
In fact, his wedding clothes were all made on the fly. He didn't see the letter of appointment, gift letter, or welcome letter. He could save the six etiquettes of accepting, asking for name, accepting, accepting, asking for date, and welcoming in person. Save money and do it quickly. I was rushed home by my father and found out that I was going to get married in a few days.
At most, he was told the woman's last name, her profession, and her age, so that he could be mentally prepared. He didn't know anything else. Even she was in a hurry on the wedding day, and she still looked like she was wearing makeup and makeup. It’s not easy to recognize that the “brother-in-law” looks exactly like his fiancée!
Hearing this, Guer patted him on the shoulder with admiration.
It is common knowledge that marriages in the Central Plains are mostly blind and mute, and pay attention to "the parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker", but it is rare for a blind and mute person like Brother Yunchi, and the young man's eyes are indescribable. Gong Cheng could only say in embarrassment: "This wedding is not meant to harmonize the two surnames. It is just to avoid disaster and preserve fire. It will inevitably be a little hasty..."
As he talked, he couldn't speak anymore and wanted to cover his face.
How is this "hasty"...
It would be an understatement to say it was playing house.
"Ms. Shen died young, but my brother-in-law... Shen Tang is still there - the Shen family is still alive at least." Gong Cheng gathered his emotions, and his face naturally showed sympathy. The eternally separated fiancée is "a blessing among misfortunes."
Seeing that Gong Cheng was already convinced, the young man frowned and secretly exchanged glances with Guer.
The two reached a tacit agreement.
In the other room, the shopkeeper waited for Shen Tang to come out, grabbing her wrist and taking her to the corner: "Have you offended those people?"
Shen Tang shook his head: "I have never offended you."
The shopkeeper asked again: "Then do you know them?"
He vaguely seemed to hear something about "brother-in-law"...
Shen Tang said: "I know one of them, but I don't have much contact with him. The shopkeeper can rest assured that he won't get into trouble."
The shopkeeper secretly thought that this was also the case.
He put Shen Tang's reward in a purse and handed it to her, and said, "Check it out carefully, or do you want me to lend it to you?"
Shen Tang cushioned his weight and knew what he was doing.
"No need for a sword."
Even if I give it to her, she won’t be able to use it.
Shen Tang lowered his head and counted the pieces one by one. He was sighing to himself that he had to spend the money that was still warm in his hands. The shopkeeper said, "I know everyone from Yuehua Tower. I can help you save some money by saying a few words."
"ah?"
The shopkeeper asked back: "Aren't you going to redeem your brother or sister? For a young handyman, as long as he doesn't look as outstanding as you, the money you have should be enough, and maybe you can get a better price."
Shen Tang: "???"
When did she say that her younger siblings were trapped in Yuehua Tower?
"The person to be redeemed is not a child, but an old gentleman."
The shopkeeper said what was in his heart with a bald mouth: "Old man? Old people are cheaper. The older they are, the less valuable they are."
This is heartbreaking, but it is true. Older handymen are not as strong as young people, and they don’t have enough energy to do much work. Their overall value is indeed not as high as that of young adults, and they don’t have as much potential as children, so the price is the lowest. If you want to redeem it, this amount of money should be enough.
Unfortunately, everyone in Yuehua Tower was still asleep.
The shopkeeper went directly to the manager of Yuehua Building, knocked on the table with his finger, and got straight to the point: "Hey, business is coming to me. I want to buy someone from you."
The manager raised his eyes and glanced at the person who came, and recognized him as the shopkeeper of Zhengguang Bookstore, who he had cooperated with many times. His face brightened slightly and he smiled broadly.
"Hey, who should I buy?"
"This little lady wants to buy it."
The shopkeeper turned sideways to reveal Shen Tang.
The manager's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Tang's face. If he looked like this, he would definitely be a money tree!
Shen Tang said: "I want to buy a handyman who works in the kitchen. His surname is Chu. He has gray hair and looks to be in his forties or fifties."
The manager withdrew his mind, and after a brief thought in his mind, he knew who Shen Tang was looking for: "You mean that old thing from Lao Chu? Do you want to buy it?"
Shen Tang nodded: "Yes."
The shopkeeper persuaded from the side: "I sold it to an elderly handyman at a cheaper price. You didn't lose anything, and you also fulfilled this little lady's filial piety. It can be regarded as doing good and accumulating virtue."
Shen Tang: "..."
Others have a bamboo horse from heaven, but she has a grandfather from heaven? ? ?
