Wang Xueqin didn't take the events of that night to heart, and his life didn't change much, but the business in front of the stall was getting better and better, and he began to think about setting up a few more days, and after saving enough money to go back, he would no longer set up a stall and concentrate on studying and preparing for exams.It is only a month away from the big exam, and there are more and more talented people pouring into the capital, and almost every day there are new things about those talented people from all over the country."
I heard that sir, you can paint, and my girl wants you to paint a picture for her."
On this day, Wang Xueqin had just finished writing today's words, when he heard a familiar female voice sounding in front of him, he looked up in surprise, but saw the little girl Ruyue who he met a few days ago."
Look, isn't that the personal maid of the willow oiran?""
Oh my God, what's going on?""
I heard like I'm going to ask that guy to paint!""
That's too lucky, isn't it?
I heard that the prince of Qing Xuan had to spend a lot of money in order to see Liu Yingying.It will be invited by the Oiran in person, and the blessing is not shallow!
”The surrounding discussion came into Wang Xueqin's ears, which made him have a headache, and just wanted to refuse, he saw the little girl bending over, and said in a light and fast voice: "My girl said, if you don't promise her, you will come down to invite you in person, do you want to be the focus of everyone's discussion?"
”Wang Xueqin doesn't care about being the center of attention, but he doesn't want to be the focus of these pink rumors.Seeing that the little girl in front of her quietly made a gesture to look up, Wang Xueqin looked up for some reason, and was slightly stunned.In front of him was in a beautiful attic, where a light figure was standing, she had retreated from the gentle beauty of that night, her eyebrows were raised, her face was powdered, and her lips were dotted with Zhu Dan, and she was frighteningly gorgeous.Sighing softly, Wang Xueqin had no choice but to agree, and left here with Ruyue and walked towards Yang Liufang.Riding a horse leaning on the bridge, full of red sleeves.This is what many talented people want, they want to be high-spirited, to be a pink beauty, and to leave a romantic story that can be recalled for a lifetime in the most frivolous youth.But that's not what Wang Xueqin is pursuing.He has a calm nature, and since he was born, he has been striding towards his goal, full of thoughts about how to seek fame, based on the imperial court, and ask for the life of the people, even if he can't be immortal, he must be worthy of his heart, not a childlike love like warm nephrite and red sleeves.What's more, he already has a wife who is waiting for him to come home, and he doesn't allow himself to make mistakes.This is the first time Wang Xueqin stepped into the land of fireworks, the furnishings in the loft of Yang Liufang, fitting its name, on both sides of the cobblestone paved path, the willows are green, the man-made river is full of lotus flowers, the fragrance is fluttering, the yard is scattered, the pavilions and pavilions, the whirling corridor, the pleasant sound of the piano is scattered in the air, which makes people feel comfortable."
Sister, the people have arrived."
Ruyue stood in front of an attic door and said crisply.Wang Xueqin did not look at it, holding his own paper film in his hand, standing quietly in front of the attic, where the wind chimes sounded, the veils were heavy, and the refreshing aroma was wafting in the air."
Please come in."
Liu Yingying's voice came from behind the heavy veil.Ruyue grimaced at Wang Xueqin and opened the door.Wang Xueqin paused, and finally walked in.The loft is beautifully and ornately furnished, showing the value of the owner everywhere, and the tender green potted plants are placed on the shelves, adding vitality to this luxurious loft."
What kind of picture does the girl want?"
Wang Xueqin asked as he put his paper and ink on the table.Bright light shone in through the wide open windows, the breeze blew, and the veil in the attic swayed gently, adding a touch of charm to the house.Liu Yingying stood in front of the window, her hair was flying, scorching like green and blue waves, her beauty was amazing, she smeared Zhu Dan's red lips and lightly opened: "You don't look at me, how can you paint?"
Could it be that Yingying is already in Mr.'
s heart?
”Wang Xueqin's hand moved, he put down the paintbrush in his hand, and looked up at Liu Yingying: "Please girl, don't laugh." ”Liu Yingying smiled, as bright as the morning glow: "Sir, can this window of Yingying see all the actions of Mr. on weekdays?"
”Wang Xueqin lowered his head and studied ink: "I don't know, if I knew, I would have changed places to do business, so as not to disappoint the girl." ”"But it's too late."
Liu Yingying walked towards Wang Xueqin with a light posture, her face was like a peach and plum, her eyes were veined, and there was a gentle affection flowing in the eye waves, "I saw you writing, and you wrote with a spirit; I see you painting, and I am confident; I saw you reciting poems and books, as if the rays of the sun were shining on you alone, and you said, "Is this love or love?"
”Wang Xueqin bowed deeply to Liu Yingying: "I really want to live up to the girl's affection, I have" "I know." ”Liu Yingying walked to Wang Xueqin's side, her eyes were clear, and she was expecting to do so, "I like you and am willing to be your confidante for life." ”"I'm sorry."
Wang Xueqin arched his hand and said, "The girl is a celestial person, she will definitely be able to find someone who is truly worthy of trust, and in her heart, she only has a wife at home, and there is no place for anyone else." ”Liu Yingying blinked, as if she didn't understand what he was talking about: "Am I not beautiful?"
”"The girl is beautiful.""
Then why don't you like me?""
When you look down at the full moon in the sky, you feel beautiful, and you feel beautiful when you look at the flowers on the ground."
Wang Xueqin said seriously.The light in Liu Yingying's eyes dimmed instantly, she sat on the chair, frowned slightly, and said softly: "I know that you have been stolen by thieves, and I can fund your college entrance examination and home expenses." ”"Girl, I don't dare to accept it in the next ten thousand, and no matter how a big man has hands and feet in the next, he will not let himself starve to death, take 10,000 steps back, even if it really reaches the point of running out of ammunition and food, there is no reason to take the girl's money."
Wang Xueqin's voice was not high, but every word revealed firmness.Liu Yingying's exquisite face had a touch of sadness, and she hooked the corners of her mouth: "It seems that you insist on drawing a line with me." ”"I don't dare to do it below, it's just that today I'm just a girl's painter."
Wang Xueqin's answer was always calm.Silent in the attic, Wang Xueqin saw Liu Yingying's sad appearance, and sighed in a low voice, he is really a nerd, why did I like him?"
Then you can draw for me."
Liu Yingying got up, came to the bed again, leaned sideways, and looked at the sky with empty eyes.Wang Xueqin raised his eyes and looked at it for a moment, and the light ink color fell on the paper.Liu Yingying is extremely beautiful, but if this beauty is restored to the paper, it will be cliché, Wang Xueqin did not deliberately paint people, and extended the composition of the pen to the invisible sky, where the clouds are rolling, the white mist is shrouded, the green mountains are faint, the flowing water is long, and the beauty stands by the railing, looking at the spring sorrow.Although only very thin lines are used in this painting to outline a back for Liu Yingying, the artistic conception of the harmony between people and love jumps out when the sky and water meet.Liu Yingying looked at the painting, her eyes flashed with amazement, she looked at the person in front of her who was collecting paper and ink, and her heart suddenly swelled with great reluctance."
What is this?"
Wang Xueqin looked at a blue-green bracelet handed over by Liu Yingying, and asked puzzledly.Liu Yingying cherished the picture scroll that Wang Xueqin had painted for herself, and put the bracelet that was worth a lot of money in front of Wang Xueqin with one hand: "This is the gift money for painting." ”Wang Xueqin smiled a little helplessly: "I think it's better for the girl to give me money." ”Seeing his resolute attitude, Liu Yingying sighed faintly and put a silver ingot in front of Wang Xueqin.Wang Xueqin looked at the silver taels that were more than his stolen silver, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but finally thought about it, and arched his hand and said: "That painting is equivalent to giving back to the girl's deep friendship and farewell." ”"Hey."
Liu Yingying stopped him behind Ah, and said a little anxiously, "You must accept this silver and take care of the personnel in the officialdom, so that you can have a chance to go to high school." ”At this time, Wang Xueqin had already come to the door, and after hearing this, he laughed loudly: "I, Wang, want to study the exam with real talent, if I use these silver taels, I will live up to my hard work for more than ten years." ”Looking at Wang Xueqin's figure disappearing behind the veil, Liu Yingying couldn't help biting her lip lightly and said, "Idiot." ”Seeing the scroll in her hand, she suddenly smiled again, put the scroll in her heart, and her eyes were half bitter and half sweet.Although Wang Xueqin felt that it was low-key enough to go to Liu Yingying's attic that day, but the matter of himself and Yang Liufang's top brand Oiran was still spread beyond recognition, and there were many good people who came to inquire every day, which made him annoyed, and he couldn't calm down and read a book, and later even heard that the son of Qingxuan was going to compete with himself, so he rolled his eyes directly.After calculating the money he had, Wang Xueqin felt that it was almost enough for him to go home, so he no longer went out to set up a stall and concentrated on studying in the house to prepare for the exam.The day of the big exam is coming soon.The examination lasted for ten days, and all the daily expenses of the candidates were all in the examination room, which tested not only the candidates' talents, but also their will and patience.When Wang Xueqin was queuing up to enter the examination room, he did see someone bribing the examiner, he frowned slightly, did not speak, and even treated the examiner with a cold face when he blatantly came to his side and took bribes when he asked about his identity."
I've heard your name, and you're indeed very talented, but this officialdom is not a school for you to study, and it won't work without some interpersonal relationships."
The examiner held up his fat stomach and touched his fingers again at Wang Xueqin.Wang Xueqin looked at him and chuckled: "This is not an officialdom, it is an examination room, what you see is the candidate's talent and learning, you examiners dare to take bribes, are you not afraid that the emperor will know?"
”The examiner's face became gloomy: "You kid, don't know what to do. ”Wang Xueqin didn't even look at him: "I just don't want to be in the same stream as the villain." ”The examiner laughed angrily, pointed at Wang Xueqin, and looked deeply at the name on the exam card in his hand, with a threatening look.Wang Xueqin's face was indifferent, and he was not afraid of him at all.The examiner gritted his teeth and flicked his sleeves away.Wang Xueqin's back straightened, and he walked forward without squinting."
Hey, you're done!"
A scholar who had just stuffed his pocket full of silver into the examiner caught up with him at a few paces, shook his head and sighed, "Do you know who you just offended?"
One of the three chief examiners!
I don't think you're like a poor person, why are you so stingy with a few pieces of silver?
