Jinyi Night Walk

In front of the Quchi wooden building, next to the ancient well with a missing corner, there is a clump of big osmanthus trees and a grape rack. There are mats on the grape racks, and wine and meat are placed on the mat. Five young masters are sitting on the mat and drinking.Drinking to the point of intoxication, bare chest and belly, let loose, pointing and scolding, proud of nothing.

A young man in green robe drank a sip of wine, stood up staggeringly, breathed out his breath and said, "Brother Luchan, I accept your delicious wine hospitality, my brother is too strong to drink, so I have to... I have to go back."

"Hey, brother Xiaoyu, don't rush to leave. I recently completed a new work. Don't you want to take a look?"

A young man in white robe with a handsome face, a slightly pointed chin, and slightly red eyes because of drunkenness grabbed his sleeve and asked with a smile.This white-robed man is about 27 or 28 years old, probably not yet [-] years old, not yet old enough to grow a beard, so there is green stubble under his chin.

"Oh? Brother Luchan has another masterpiece?" That Xiaoyu brother was full of surprises, and sat down again, urging him again and again: "Get it quickly, get it quickly, I must have admired your masterpiece , this is the only way to leave, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep peacefully tonight.”

Xie Luchan in the white robe laughed loudly, stood up, and walked towards the building.As he walked, he limped, and it turned out that one of his legs was lame.

The man in the blue shirt is called Murong Xiaoyu, sitting on his right hand is grabbing a fat chicken and chewing it is Xu Wushuang, they are all close friends.Xu Wushuang watched Bai Luchan enter the room, then leaned over, smiled at Murong and said, "Xie Luchan's wine and meat are very delicious, but every time he has to take out his worthless rotten meat." After painting, we have to compliment it, which is very disgusting."

Chen Fangzheng on the opposite table threw down a cleanly gnawed mutton bone, and chuckled softly, "Brother Wushuang, why are you talking so much nonsense? This is good wine and meat, and a table full of food. In exchange for a few compliments, There's nothing wrong with it."

Xu Wushuang said: "Hmph! I have to flatter him every time. I really have no words to say. Hey! Ma Jia, don't drink it. If you see something that is dead after drinking, you can say it later, and you won't be able to coax him." If you are happy, you will let us get away."

Ma Xi, who was sitting by the side and was only drinking from a large bowl, put down his wine bowl and said with a smile: "It's done, it's done, I said that, just take pity on this worthless guy. But..., let me see his broken paintings It's really not good, but he always said that someone paid a lot of money to buy his paintings. If he didn't paint for a few days, they would come to urge him, is it possible? Who in Jinling is so blind? I like his paintings."

Murong Xiaoyu curled her lips in disdain: "Hmph! He's just bragging. Although I don't dare to boast about my eyesight, I can still tell whether his paintings are good or bad. They are obviously mediocre, even if they are sold. How much is it worth? He himself said that a painting can be sold for as little as [-] pennies, do you believe it?"

Xu Wushuang scratched his head and said, "However... I remember that when I had a drink at his place once, someone did come to buy paintings."

Chen Fangzheng laughed and said, "He has a good face, won't he make people act for us?"

Ma Jia coughed and said in a low voice, "Shut up, shut up, here we come."

Several people immediately sat upright, with faces full of anticipation.

These few people are all Xie Luchan's friends, to be precise, they are a group of hypocritical drinking and meat friends, but Xie Luchan doesn't know it yet.

Xie Luchan, a 15-year-old high school student, is full of talent and has a bright future.It's a pity that unexpected disasters happened. In the second year, he had an accident. One leg was crippled, and his facial features were not correct. Back to normal.From then on, I became depressed and depressed, and never touched a book again.

It wasn't until three years later, under the persuasion of his younger sister, that he revived his spirit and became obsessed with the hobby he liked since he was a child, but was forced to study by his father: painting.In order to learn painting, he sold his ancestral house and moved to the edge of the city, where he invested money in famous teachers and learned painting.

Now the style of painting has gradually developed, and it has begun to be appreciated by some people. Although he doesn't know who the buyer is, they always come to buy paintings every once in a while. With the income from selling paintings, he can actually guarantee the food and clothing of himself and his sister. Wuyou, no longer a useless cripple, Xie Luchan is very happy.Over the years, he either devoted himself to painting, or drank and had fun with his acquaintances and friends, and his life was happy and carefree.

But he didn't know that the few friends he regarded as his confidantes were just because their family background was not as good as his, and they wanted to enjoy his wine and meat, and borrowed some money from him when they were in short supply. Surround him, flatter and make him happy.

"Come, come, let's appreciate it, and see how my "Plum and Orchid Picture" is. Duh! You don't need to use your hands!"

Xie Luchan opened Murong Xiaoyu's hand, and said triumphantly: "This painting has already been ordered by a buyer, and you don't even wipe it, can you afford to pay for it if it gets dirty?"

Ma Jia hurriedly said jokingly: "Really? Brother Luchan, how much did you sell for this painting?"

Xie Luchan pretended to be calm, but there was a hint of pride that could not be concealed: "This painting of mine took two months to collect, conceive, brew, and use the brush. If it is less than thirty strokes, Am I willing to make a move? Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this, let’s see what the painting looks like.”

"Rare, rare, really rare."

A few friends gathered together pretending to admire, Ma Jia wiped the wine from his mouth, and praised: "It's wonderful, it's really wonderful, an ancient plum tree, a few plum blossoms, and a bird squatting on the branch. A few orchids, Graceful and graceful, scattered on the side of strange rocks. The whole picture is quaint, quiet, and steep. The brushwork is elegant and natural, skillful and vivid, and it is really a rare masterpiece."

"Yes, brother Luchan, I envy you, brother Luchan is still young, and he has such accomplishments in painting. In time, won't he become a master of painting? Oh, oh, by then, don't forget today Brothers."

A few people talked to each other, coaxing Xie Luchan to smile, extremely proud. At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Excuse me, is this Xie's house? Xie Luchan, Mr. Xie is there?"

"Liar! A bluffing female thief!"

Even if it is an ordinary family, how can it accept a woman who behaves so unbearably?He knows my background, he knows everything I have done, once he sees me, how can he accept me?Even if he doesn't mention it today and we become husband and wife in the future, how can I hold my head up in front of him?Why should I look after my husband and teach my children, and be a housewife?Will he accept me because of sympathy?Will I like him, because of gratitude?

"No, no, no..."

The more she walked forward, the more frightened Xie Yufei felt. If it wasn't for the home she could never abandon, where there were relatives she could never abandon, she would have turned around and fled long ago, fleeing to the ends of the earth, never to return.

She didn't want to do this, and she didn't want to do this either, but she had nowhere to go, really had nowhere to go, tears rolled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to shed them.

When she was five years old, she was still a naive and lively little girl who didn't know much about the world.At that time, her brother was still the pride in her heart.Every time she goes out, the most praise she hears from the neighbors is for her brother, because his brother was admitted as a scholar at the age of 15. People say that he is a Wenqu star who is destined to be a high-ranking official in the future, so even the neighbors The little sisters in the world dare not bully her, she has always been proud and proud that the Xie family has such a character as her brother.

Although she was still young at that time, she clearly remembered the day when the accident happened.She begged for a penny from her mother, bought a candy figurine, ran and played with her friends on the street, and then a very luxurious carriage rushed over, she was so frightened that she didn't even know how to dodge. Then her brother rushed over and pushed her away at once, and the wheel ran over his leg. She still remembers his scream of pain to this day.

It was a car belonging to a wealthy family, and it was enough to pay a few bucks.My brother's leg was disabled, Wen Quxing fell, and the bright future that was doomed suddenly became bleak.My brother became mad with worry and anger, and he was in a trance in those days. Everyone thought that he would never wake up again, and he became a lunatic ever since.

The mother, who was originally depressed because of his father's death, fell ill again because of his brother's affairs. When his brother's condition just improved, the mother who supported the sick body and managed the family passed away and went with her father.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still two loyal old family members in the family at that time, she really didn't know how the family would survive.

After some years, she grew up.

A few years later, my brother became obsessed with painting. Although he had her encouragement and support, he failed to achieve anything because of his studies. The family gradually became poor, and his temper became more and more irritable, and he had symptoms of relapse.

Some years later, the two old family members had to leave her home to fend for themselves.There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, let alone a family. They have done the utmost benevolence to her and Xie's family. In her heart, she is only grateful, but not the slightest bit of resentment.

At this time, she got to know Feifei and Feifei's mother, a woman who used to travel across the south of the Yangtze River, and could even enter and leave the prince's mansion at the most beautiful time, and had close contact with the envoy's daughter and the wife of the imperial court. Female thief, a master in Fengzimen.

So, she began to use her immature shoulders to prop up her home.

People say that an older brother is like a father, but she is like a younger sister like a mother.

She didn't have a formal apprenticeship, but with her talent and intelligence, she became a new generation of female snitches by relying on the bits and pieces of tricks and thousands of tricks she learned from Nan Feifei's mother. She didn't need to steal or rob. , with only a clever mind, at a young age, he has deceived many foolish adults into confusion.

Her brother's paintings were finally "appreciated", and the Xie family's family situation began to improve. She was very satisfied. The only regret in her heart was that the family her father betrothed her to had been missing since she was a child. Time became a laughing stock because of this incident.

Now, he finally came, but...

"Will he like me? No!"

In Longxing Temple, what he said to that girl Peng has always been deeply remembered in her heart. She also lied to others, but she would not lie to her closest people. What she said to her closest people in private, That must be the truth.

What's more, as soon as he saw him, he would immediately know his identity. Who would accept a female liar?Not even worthy of being a concubine, yet delusional to be the wife of a respectable lord?

"sister?"

When the two arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Nan Feifei couldn't help feeling a little worried when she saw her staring in a daze.

"Ok?"

Xie Yufei came to her senses, blinked quickly, and wiped away the tears in her eyes. That stubborn and strong personality drove away the anxiety and fear in her heart: "For so many years, without you, have I survived alone? I would rather live my whole life. Don't marry, and don't allow anyone to destroy everything I've maintained over the years! You can look down on me, but I can't look down on myself, why should I be afraid of you? I'm not afraid of you!"

Xie Yufei gritted her silver teeth, like a soldier stepping into the battlefield, said resolutely: "Go!"! ~!
