Devil's Concubine

Chapter 33
The scholar's words greatly stimulated Shangguan Yu. Shangguan Yu stomped his feet vigorously, panting through gritted teeth: "Okay, okay, you're really good. I want to see how strong you really are. Come on, here you go!" I smashed this stall."

As soon as the voice fell, several servants in green clothes and hats rushed over from the alley, pushed away the crowd, smashed up, smashed the small stall beyond recognition, and almost tore up all the calligraphy and paintings.

Shangguan Yu was still perplexed, with a grim smile on her face, she pointed at the scholar, and said sharply: "Don't let me see you again, or I will never make it easier for you, and Mingyue City will never have another Wherever you stand."

After saying this, Shangguan Yu boldly took his servants away, leaving a crowd of people stunned, those who know the goods are a pity for the calligraphy and paintings of the scholar, while those who don't know the goods just join in the fun and sneer, with a contemptuous attitude, thinking that the scholar is a lunatic .

The crowd quickly dispersed, and the scholar was not annoyed at all when he saw this. He slowly picked up the calligraphy and paintings on the ground one by one.

Looking at his appearance, these calligraphy and paintings seem to be peerless treasures left by famous ancient masters, extremely precious.

Chu Yunshang felt that this scholar was very different from the beginning, but when he heard that he rejected the temptation of 5000 taels, he felt even more that this scholar was either extremely narcissistic or extremely conceited.

Although the difference between narcissism and conceit is just one word, the meaning is worlds apart. At this time, no matter who sees the scholar like this, he will think that he is a lunatic who has nothing but narcissism, but in Chu Yunshang Not so in the eyes.

Only those who are extremely conceited, so conceited that there is no one else but themselves in their eyes, can be so flattered or humiliated.

She herself was also very interested in the picture of the green cow eating sketches, so she bent down to pick it up, wanting to take a serious look at the mystery hidden in this picture.

The other hand stretched out from the other side. The fingers were long and slender, but not white, skinny, with protruding joints, extremely strong, not as weak as ordinary scholars.

Chu Yunshang raised his head, and the scholar's head also raised, and the two looked at each other. The scholar's eyes were a little surprised, and there was a flash of light in his eyes, and he narrowed his eyes and let go of his fingers.

Chu Yunshang picked up the drawing paper, spread it out in his palm, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you angry?"

"Is it useful to be angry?" the scholar asked in a low voice.

Chu Yunshang was taken aback for a moment, and said thoughtfully, "You are indeed different."

"Really?" The scholar laughed at himself, shook his head slowly, packed the calligraphy and paintings he had packed, turned around and was about to leave.

"Drawing the ground is a prison!"

The four words were slowly spit out from Chu Yunshang's mouth, with a hint of narrowness and uncertainty.

The scholar's face changed suddenly, and he turned his head in disbelief, staring at Chu Yunshang with rippling eyes.

"What did you say?" the scholar asked uncertainly.

Chu Yunshang did not answer his question, but stretched out his hand to click on the calligraphy and painting in his hand, and slowly slid his finger across the blank space, and said slowly: "The blue cow eats the sketch, I only see the green cow, but I don't see grass. Why is that?"

"In the prosperous world, temptations are everywhere. Drinking too much wine in a glass is tantamount to drinking poison to quench your thirst." The scholar said.

"No wonder that's the case." Chu Yunshang said to himself twice, with a complicated expression on his face.

"No wonder what?" the scholar asked puzzled.

"Look at this painting, apart from the painters, the layout of the picture alone is extremely unreasonable. There are too many blank spaces, making the space for cattle and grass extremely cramped. The layout is very small, and it is very petty... But This green bull has its head raised high, and its big bull eyes are full of loneliness and hatred, yearning for freedom and unrestraint, but it is trapped here, and it is difficult to become a climate."

After a pause, Chu Yunshang went on to say: "If it's just a prison, then it's not entirely true. From the point of view of freedom, this blue cow should be talking about yourself. It's not about depression, but about the climate. Too small, the dragon swims in the shoal, the tiger falls in Pingyang!"

The scholar's face changed drastically, and his eyes sparkled with excitement and he asked, "Then, in your opinion, how can we break this situation?"

"How to break it?" Chu Yunshang pondered for a while, put the five fingers of his right hand together, and slowly slid the palm across the drawing paper.

Where the palm covered, the grazing green cow and faint green grass disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the drawing paper in his hand turned into a blank sheet of paper.

At this scene, the scholar was slightly startled, and immediately asked: "What does this mean?"

Chu Yunshang explained with a smile: "The cows eat grass, and the grass is gone. If the cows don't want to starve to death, they should go. The sky is so big, and there is nowhere to go."

The scholar said thoughtfully, "That's right, the world is so big, there's nothing you can't go there, why limit yourself in a narrow range, thank you."

After saying this, the scholar collected his expression, cupped his fists, and bowed slightly to Chu Yunshang to express his gratitude.

"You're welcome, can you sell this painting to me?" Chu Yunshang asked, shaking the white paper in his hand.

"Do you want to buy it?" the scholar asked in surprise.

Chu Yunshang smiled softly and said, "Since I damaged this painting, I naturally want to buy it, but I don't have 5000 taels."

The scholar looked at her and asked thoughtfully, "Then how much money do you have?"

Chu Yunshang took off the purse from his waist, shook it, and said, "That's all."

The scholar took the money bag, took out a tael of silver from it, and returned the money bag to Chu Yunshang, saying, "One tael of silver is enough."

Chu Yunshang smiled: "One side is 5000 taels of silver, and the other side is one tael of silver. Your business is really not very cost-effective."

The scholar smiled lightly, with an extremely elegant breath, and said slowly: "For those who understand painting, one tael of silver is enough, and the cost of this painting is only worth one tael of silver."

Chu Yunshang thought about this, and nodded lightly: "Then I will be disrespectful. Of course, if you regret it one day, you can come to me at any time to get back the rest of the money."
