The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1891
[Chapter 1891 Qi Xuan Fanwai (49)]
Children in the mountains are used to walking on mountain roads. After a day’s walk, the child is still in good spirits.
When we got to the hut, it was almost dark.
Nigu picked up the tin can and wooden bowl to wash, while Nitti and Qi Xuan went to pick up firewood.
Ai Hua also wanted to follow.
Gu Jiu said: “Since you’re not tired, then stand up.” This child can endure hardships very well, but his temper is still a bit out of bounds, so he needs to grind it hard.
Ai Hua grimaced, stood in the corner and squatted.
Wowotou is eaten with hot soup, and the taste is not bad. Ai Hua ate six wowatou and drank two bowls of broth.
Nitty couldn’t help but look at Ai Hua, how could this child eat so much.
Nigu said a little embarrassedly: “Since Ai Hua practiced martial arts with Uncle Gu Jiu, his appetite has increased greatly.” Seven or eight-year-olds were originally when they were growing up and were able to eat. With the addition of qigong exercises, their appetite was much better.
Because of this, Nigu’s sister-in-law has all opinions, and is secretly wanting to split up the family.
Nitti smiled and said, “That’s a good thing.”
After finishing speaking, Niti asked Gu Jiu tentatively: “Uncle Gu Jiu, I wonder if we can let other children in the village practice martial arts together?”
Gu Jiu was picking his teeth with the toothpick he had sharpened. Hearing this, he frowned and said, “I don’t have time.” He started teaching Ai Hua, which was purely boring and used to pass the time. Later, I saw that the child had perseverance and willingness to endure hardships, so I taught him seriously.
Nitti was a little disappointed.
Early the next morning, the group continued on their way. As he walked, Qi Xuan looked at the scenery on the road. The footsteps are naturally slowed down. Niku and Niti were murmuring in their hearts, but they didn’t say anything to urge Qixuan.
Because of the delay, they couldn’t get to the town before dark, so the group stayed in the wild again.
Niko and Niti kept vigils, one in the middle of the night and the other in the middle of the night. The other three, don’t need a vigil, just have a good rest.
When it was dawn, Niko dozed off. Suddenly, Gu Jiu jumped up from the ground.
Niku was taken aback: “What’s wrong, Uncle Gu Jiu?”
Gu Jiu didn’t pay any attention to him at all, but ran behind him.
When Nico turned his head, he almost died of fright. There was a big black bear more than ten meters away from them, and the big bear was coming towards them.
Gu Jiu stopped two meters away from the black bear, and then sprinkled a handful of white powder on the black bear’s face.
The black bear smelled the smell and showed a hopeless expression, then turned around and ran away.
Niku looked at the back of the black bear and couldn’t believe his eyes: “Uncle Gu, what did you sprinkle on the black bear?” It was just a bag of powder, which actually scared the black bear away.
Gu Jiu glanced at him and said, “Tell you, you don’t know either.” In fact, he didn’t know what the powder was called. The thing was given by Ruo Nan, and the formula was unknown. If he wants, people don’t pay attention to him at all. Thinking about it makes me sad.
Nico touched the back of his head and laughed twice.
With such a big movement, Qi Xuan and Niti had been awakened long ago. On the other hand, Ai Hua slept soundly.
Niti knew that it was the blind bear, and was very sorry: “If you can kill him, that’s great.” A blind man can also be sold for a lot of money.
Gu Jiudao: “I knew earlier, I shouldn’t have driven it away, but should have let you hunt it.” Except to satisfy his hunger or protect Qixuan, he hunted wild animals, and at other times even a small squirrel He was reluctant to hurt.
Nitty blushed a little. Even if his archery skills are good, he would not dare to hunt the black blind man alone. If you are not careful, you may risk your life.
After walking for an hour and a half, several people arrived at the town. It was the first time that Ai Hua came to town, and everything he saw was fresh.
Qi Xuan asked Gu Jiu, “How long is the distance from the town to the county?”
“Fifty miles away, if you want to get there as soon as possible, you can rent a carriage.”
Qi Xuan wanted to rent a carriage, but he only had more than two hundred pennies in his hand to rent a carriage. So, just walk.
In fact, Gu Jiu fooled Qi Xuan. The living standard of the residents in this town is not as good as that of the farmers in Fuyu County. When they go to the county seat, they take an ox-cart, and they don’t want to spend money on a horse-drawn carriage. So in this town, there is no carriage at all.
Passing by a steamed bun shop, Ai Hua couldn’t walk after smelling the fragrance.
Seeing that Nigu was reluctant to buy it for Ai Hua, Qi Xuan bought twenty mushroom meat buns with his own money.
Nigu felt distressed: “What do I do with this money, I have food here!” One penny is only a meat bun, and it hurts to think about it.
Several people walked relatively fast, and they arrived at the county seat when it was dark. However, at this time, the gate of the county town has been closed. If you want to get in, you have to open the city gate the next morning.
The five of them stayed at night one mile away from the gate. This night, it was calm.
The next day, the five men packed up and went to town. When he walked to the door, the guard guard stretched out his hand towards Qi Xuan.
Qi Xuan looked puzzled: “What?”
The official scolded him for a while, and after listening to Niti, he quickly handed over 40 coins, and then said a good word to the official, and finally the official let him go.
After entering the city, Qi Xuan said with a dark face: “These people dare to charge the city fees from the common people, it’s too daring.”
Gu Jiu didn’t know about it either: “Here the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the magistrate is the emperor of the land. He wants to collect protection fees, and you dare to block his fortune.”
Qi Xuan snorted coldly and said, “I won’t block his fortune, but…” He didn’t say anything after that. It doesn’t block the way of money, but it is the black gauze hat that can get this dog thing. But this is not in a hurry, anyway, this dog can’t run away.
Qixuan can do some simple communication with Niku and Niti, but if it is too complicated, he will not understand. So he still asked Niku to ask the locals where the calligraphy and painting are shopped.
I asked along the way and finally found a place. Nico and Nitty saw that the inside was spotless, so they stood outside the door and dared not go in.
Qi Xuan didn’t expect so much, so he lifted his foot and walked in. He said to the servant who was cleaning, “Where’s your shopkeeper? Please come out. I have a painting that I want to sell.”
Although Qi Xuan’s clothes were patched, his demeanor was calm and imposing.
The servant did not neglect Qi Xuan because of his tattered clothes. He respectfully asked Qi Xuan to sit down, and then shouted loudly outside: “The shopkeeper, someone is here to sell paintings.”
The sound was so loud that Qi Xuan’s ears hurt a little.
Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out. The man looks very ordinary and looks simple and honest.
When he saw Qi Xuan, he asked with a smile, “Guest officer, are you here to sell paintings?”
Qi Xuan nodded and handed the painting in his hand to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn’t dare to neglect, he took the painting with both hands and spread it out on the table.
He habitually looked at the inscription of the painter first, and when he saw that the inscription was Qixiang Jushi, the man’s eyes lit up instantly. After half a year of waiting, it finally came.
Seeing that he didn’t respond for a long time, Qi Xuan said, “Shopkeeper, what do you think of this painting?”
The middle-aged man came back to his senses and said with a smile, “You are very good at painting, and I don’t know how to give a price. You wait here for a while, and I’ll take it in and ask my father before replying to you. Look at this Is it feasible?” He still has a certain appreciation for painting under the influence of his ears and eyes. This calligraphy and painting shop was taken care of by him.
With Qi Xuan’s consent, the middle-aged man carried the painting into the back yard.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Nico got a little impatient: “Sir, if they don’t sell it, they will find another one.” .
Qi Xuan shook his head and said, “Don’t worry.” If the old man was really looking at his paintings, it would be a good thing. Because when he comes across a good painting, he will appreciate it for a long time.
Seeing this, Nico could only wait patiently.
After a while, the middle-aged man came out empty-handed and clasped his fists towards Qi Xuan: “This gentleman, my father asked you to speak in the backyard.”
Gu Jiu looked at the middle-aged man and chuckled lightly. It seems that this person does not know the identity of King Xuan.
Qixuan likes to discuss the art of painting with people the most. Of course, he also likes to talk about the past and the present. After hearing this, I happily followed to the backyard.
As the middle-aged man entered the house, he saw an old man with silver hair and a fairy-like style watching his paintings.
Qi Xuan respectfully bowed to the old man: “I don’t know what the old gentleman is called?” Seeing this old gentleman, he felt very kind.
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, “My surname is Tang. Did you draw this painting?”
Qi Xuan nodded, then bowed and said, “It’s my humble work, I would like to ask the old gentleman to give some pointers.” He works behind closed doors, and there is no way for him to improve his painting skills. Now that he encounters a knowledgeable man, he naturally cannot miss the opportunity.
Tang Mo called him in just to point him. Now that I see Qi Xuan’s modesty, I am quite satisfied. This King Xuan is not as unbearable as the rumors from the outside world: “Are you under the tutelage of Mr. Shan Weng?” Mr. Shan Weng is Pang Jinglun’s number.
Qi Xuan was stunned for three seconds, and then respectfully blessed a junior: “Mr. Shan Weng is the next teacher.” Pang Jinglun is full of experience, and he is also good at calligraphy and painting. He does whatever he wants, so he sometimes talks to the Qirui brothers about folk customs in various places in class, and sometimes teaches calligraphy and painting.
Qixuan learned to draw when he was a child, but it was only as a pastime at the time. It was only after Yuxi was kicked out of the capital that he put his mind to it. He also went to ask Pang Jinglun for advice when he encountered those who did not understand.
Tang Mo smiled and said, “No wonder! The way you paint is very similar to Mr. Shan Weng.” Pang Jinglun was once one of the enlightenment teachers of several princes. No one in the capital knew about it.
No matter what to study, when a student has studied with his master for many years, he will inevitably be affected by it. However, some of them are able to get rid of this influence later on and become their own group, but this is very rare. Most of them can’t get out and are affected by it all their lives.
