3. Talented and beautiful, chess meets opponents (10)
If Qiao Shoumin hadn't written the note himself, the three of them would have been here today.
When Li Chan saw that Wang Chongyi was a talented person, he admired himself, and had a strong scholarly spirit, which was completely different from the martial arts warrior he had expected, he changed his appearance slightly and bowed his hand to him.
Qiao Shoumin was extremely happy when they arrived. First, he asked the three of them to sign the seal on their paintings. Then he suggested with a smile: "The Cao family's garden is very famous, but they don't like outsiders to visit. Today, we borrowed the light of Brother Jingyu to visit such a famous garden. How can we not leave some poetry and paintings? It can also be regarded as a joy to Brother Jingyu's move as a congratulatory gift."
Qiao Shoumin is the eldest brother of Baxiu in Yangzhou. The other seven people are rarely gathered together. They are so happy again. Situ Youdao responded first. Even Li Chan was excited and smiled and said, "We can all write poetry and painting. As the host, shouldn't Brother Jingyu also take action? I also want to see the little prodigy who passed the scholar at the age of nine. How about poetry and painting?"
Tang Jingyu laughed in silence and said, "How dare you show off your skills? However, Brother Li Chan said this, and if I refuse, you will be annoyed! Well, I will throw my bricks and attract jade first. Anyway, brothers, you can still laugh at me for your poor painting skills!"
Tang Jingyu called Hu Suer up and re-spread the paper and ink. He splashed ink and drew a garden with exquisite structure and twists and turns. He even drew eight or nine scholars by the water, drinking and singing wildly, which was exactly what he himself and the Baxiu of Yangzhou were.
Tang Jingyu's painting skills were considered first-class. The Ba Xiu of Yangzhou were all happy and came to watch it. Tang Rangzhi smiled and said, "I'm not good at gardening and even more beautiful ladies. I'll use this painting of Jingyu to fill in a few maids!"
Tang Rangzhi picked up the strokes and drew three little maids to pounce on butterflies. It was indeed lifelike and exquisite and elegant!
They were doing some happy things about poetry and wine, splashing ink and painting, and doing some happy things about scholars. Suddenly, a servant came to report and said, "Mr. Tang, there was a Taoist outside asking for a meeting, and he insisted that there were monsters in our family. I heard that he was not here to attend the banquet and didn't want him to come in, but he was very noisy."
Li Chan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but sneer. He stared at Wang Chong, feeling a little unhappy, thinking that this "Tang Jingyu" really showed the sorceress of a martial arts warlock, and he was going to make trouble again.
Wang Chong couldn't help but glance at Hu Suer and thought to himself: "Is it a problem this little fox caused?"
He knew magic by himself and thought to himself: "Hu Suer's demonic aura is light. Unless he is a cultivator in the Tiangang realm, he must not sense the demonic aura outside the door. This Taoist priest is just a fake person!"
The practitioners of the two schools of Taoism and Demon are unbearable to step into the world, especially because this is Yangzhou Prefecture, which is the most prosperous and prosperous place in the world. The practitioners are even more capable. Even if Suer comes to Duhua’s disciples, they would rather find a temple outside the city than come to the city.
Wang Chong didn't believe the Taoist priest, and thought for a moment, and said lightly: "Get ten taels of silver and give it to the Taoist priest. He said that there was a guest today, so it was not convenient to invite him in and let him come again in a few days."
Wang Chong gave Hu Suer a look, and the little fox pouted, took his own private money and handed it to the servant who came to report the news.
Seeing Wang Chong's actions like this, Li Chan's expression was slightly better and said, "These people in the world are so annoying. I met a beggar a few days ago and insisted that I learn Taoism from him. He still can't eat enough, so where can I learn Taoism?"
Wang Chong laughed and couldn't help but tease: "The world's Taoist Techniques are 48,000, maybe the beggar will have the Great Dao Zhuan and Brother Li!"
Li Chan's face turned red and he retorted: "Why would I give this opportunity to Brother Jingyu, go and learn Taoism from that beggar!"
Wang Chong laughed and shouted, "I thank Brother Li for this, I will learn this!"
Several talented men from Baxiu in Yangzhou all said that Wang Chong was joking, and even Li Chan thought that Wang Chong was just a joke and pretended to leave. Wang Chong hurriedly apologized, and the few people were in a mess, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
After a while, the servant came back and reported: "The Taoist was indeed as Mr. Tang expected. He took the silver and left without any thanks!"
Tang Rangzhi sighed and said, "My little brother Jingyu is still young, but he was deceived by this Taoist priest for ten taels of silver."
Tang Jingyu waved his hand and said, "Today, several brothers came to the banquet, and they combined poetry and wine, and they also got so many treasures. What is the value of ten taels of silver? How can irrelevant people sweep away the good mood?"
After Wang Chong stayed here for a while, he pulled Situ Youdao and went to Yang and Cao's two families. After all, he was a landlord, so how could he keep the other person aside?
Cao Xuqing was playing with a few sisters. When she saw Wang Chong coming over and smiled, she said, "It's hard for Brother Tang to accompany her!"
Wang Chong smiled slightly, and was quite helpless. Unexpectedly, the young people of Situ Youdao and Yang Cao families had a good relationship, so Qiao Shoumin and others were completely disrespectful. But what could he do like this? No matter what he said, he would just wipe out the face of both families, so it would be better not to say anything.
Wang Chong stayed here for a while, but it was much easier than there. The young men and women of Yang Cao families had fun, and they didn't need him to greet him at all, nor did they need to match poetry and wine.
He was drinking by himself, but he saw Cao Xuqing quietly leaving a few sisters, walking to her side, handing something in her sleeve, and whispering: "Brother Jingyu, please hand it over to Li Chan!"
Cao Xuqing pretended to be interlaced, walked a few steps, and then turned back, his pretty face flushed.
Wang Chong didn't understand why the third lady of the Cao family fell in love with the husband of the Li family, but she had no chance to get close to him. She was so enthusiastic about this poetry meeting. She couldn't help but laugh, nodded slightly, and agreed.
Cao Xuqing slightly curled her body and made a very small move, leaving in a hurry, and never daring to look back.
Wang Chong didn't have a good time to peek at the girl's token, so he left Situ Youdao alone, turned around and went in front, and pulled Li Chan aside while the person was not paying attention, and smiled bitterly: "There is something that Brother Li must not be annoyed before he dares to say it."
Li Chan asked with a smile: "What's the matter? As long as you don't return the opportunity to become a monk and study Taoism, you can just mention it, and I will definitely agree."
Wang Chong handed over the item that Cao Xuqing sent and said, "But it's not my business. The third lady of the Cao family asked me to give it to me!"
Li Chan frowned and shook his head and said, "Brother Tang did a bad job in this matter. But I also know you are in a difficult situation. I will reply to a letter and send it for me and I won't accept the things."
Li Chan immediately took the paper and pen, pondered slightly, and wrote a quatrain: "I am not a disciple of Xiaoyaozi, I just want to be a passerby for the rest of my life! I wish to be a flying geese in the north and south, each with a future and destiny."
