Chapter 46 046: Redemption
Seeing that Gong Cheng reacted so strongly, the young man bent down to pick up the scroll, and seriously commented: "The painting skills of these paintings are quite good. Perhaps Cao Yi came out of the water, and the brushwork was vigorous. The people in the paintings were wearing tulle, floating gracefully. , making people fantasize; or Wu Dai is in the wind, with elegant and mellow brushstrokes, and the clothes and sleeves of the people under the brush are fluttering, and they are as clear as gods, which makes people dare not desecrate. Given time, the painter will become a master!"
Wan'er also laughed and said, "These paintings are excellent."
The young man teased Gong Cheng immediately: "Tsk, it's a pity, some people don't appreciate it, but don't talk about it, and they regard it as a scourge."
Guan'er pretended to be surprised: "Why? Yunchi has a reputation for calligraphy and painting, if he can't even appreciate it, why don't we..."
Being teased and run on by the two of them, Gong Cheng was in a moody mood, unable to panic, unable to laugh or cry.
He had no choice but to beg for mercy, and begged the two to let him go: "Mr. Gu, Weng Zhi, don't make fun of me..."
No matter how good the drawing is—
That is also a secret play picture!
It is still a secret play picture with an old friend as the protagonist.
Although it is just a quick glance, it can be seen that the expression of the characters is captured extremely accurately. Although they are not similar in shape, they are similar in spirit. Even though he knew that the people of Beimo were tough and his old friends were always informal, he was still frightened.
Really shocked him for a whole year!
Looking at those paintings is like looking at a scourge.
Warder said: "Finally, he has become somewhat popular."
After Gong Cheng was rescued, his whole body was numb and depressed. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he looked haggard and his heart was ashes.
I think back to Gong Yunchi back then—well, it wasn’t that far away, at most one or two years ago—this guy had a strong desire to win and lose, and he often invited a group of people to play horse races and compete with swords and cujus with him.
Singing and drinking when winning, pestering and pestering when losing. If he didn't like it, he even dared to climb out of the window in the middle of the night and threaten to fight again with a knife.
Gong Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "I made you worry."
"Worry is second, and the most important thing is that you can cheer up."
Youth: "The time is too late, or the end will be good."
Gong Cheng pursed his lips and nodded, saying: "Mr. Xie said auspicious words."
Confirming that Gong Cheng's mood has recovered, the young man turned the topic back—Gong Cheng's "wife brother" is a variable, like a chess piece that appeared out of thin air, seemingly out of the situation, but no one can guarantee that "he" will Will not come out to disrupt the situation at critical moments.
The timing of this person's appearance was too coincidental. He just took over the job of the secret drama map, and he happened to meet Gong Cheng who was hidden in Yuehua Tower to recover from his injuries. He happened to be Gong Cheng's former "wife and brother". No, there is still a question as to whether this "wife brother" is true or not.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
There are more coincidences, more like deliberate intentions.
The young man tapped the chessboard with his fingers.
"You married Mrs. Shen, how much do you know? How much do you know about this 'wife brother'?"
Gong Cheng looked up, thought for a while, and shook his head.
He said shyly, "I don't understand."
Youth: “…”
Guardian: "..."
If there were no accidents, the two of them would pay homage three times and they would be a legitimate couple. How could he come up with the word "do not understand"?
Gong Cheng also felt that he was somewhat outrageous.
But-
He is very sincere: "I really don't understand."
In fact, his wedding dresses were made on the spur of the moment.
He didn't see the letter of appointment, letter of ceremonies, and letter of welcome. Nacai, asking the name, Najib, Nazheng, asking for a date, and personally welcoming the six ceremonies are more economical and quicker. He was called back by his father The family only knew that he was going to get married and start a family in a few days. What could he understand?
At most, he was told the woman's last name, where she lived, and her age, so that he could prepare himself mentally. He didn't know the rest. It is not easy to recognize that the "wife brother" looks exactly like his fiancee!
Wan'er heard this and patted him on the shoulder in admiration.
I have heard that in the Central Plains most marriages are blind and dumb, and they pay attention to "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker". However, it is rare to see someone as blind and dumb as Yunchi brother, and the eyes of young people are hard to describe.
Gong Cheng had no choice but to falter in embarrassment: "This big wedding is not for the good of the two surnames, but just to avoid disaster and save the fire, so it will inevitably be rushed..."
Where is this "hasty"...
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is playing house.
"Ms. Shen passed away early, but his brother-in-law Shen Tang is still alive, and the Shen family is still alive." Gong Cheng calmed down his emotions, and a few traces of forbearance and sympathy flashed across his face, for that person who was separated from life and death in a hurry. His fiancée, "It's a blessing in misfortune."
Seeing that Gong Cheng was already convinced, the young man frowned, and secretly exchanged glances with the boy.
The two tacitly reached an agreement.
In the other room, the shopkeeper waited for Shen Tang to come out, grabbed her wrist and took her to the corner: "Did you offend those people?"
Shen Tang shook his head: "I never offended you."
The shopkeeper asked again: "Then you know them?"
He vaguely heard some "wife and brother"...
Shen Tang said: "I know one of them, but I have nothing to do with him. The shopkeeper can rest assured that he won't cause trouble."
The shopkeeper of the bookstore thought to himself, this is also the reason.
He put Shen Tang's remuneration in a money bag and handed it to her, and said: "Check and count carefully, why don't you call me by your son?"
Shen Tang weighed the weight, knowing it well.
"No need to use a scorpion."
Give it to her, she won't use it either.
Shen Tang bowed his head and counted the pieces one by one, sighing secretly that he had to spend the money that was not hot yet, when the shopkeeper said: "I know the people in Yuehua Building well, so I can save some money by talking to you."
"ah?"
The shopkeeper asked back: "Aren't you going to redeem your younger brother or sister? As long as the young handyman is not as outstanding as you, the little money in your hand should be enough, and maybe you can lower the price."
Shen Tang: "???"
When did she say that her younger brother and sister were trapped in Yuehua Building?
"The person to be redeemed is not a child, but an old gentleman."
The shopkeeper had a bald mouth and said what was in his heart: "Old people? Old people are cheaper, and the older they are, the less valuable they are."
This is heartbreaking, but it is true. Old handymen are not as strong as young people, and they don’t have much energy and work. The overall value is indeed not as high as young and strong, and it is not as potential as children, so the price is the lowest. For redemption, this amount of money should be enough.
Unfortunately, everyone in Yuehua Building is still asleep.
The shopkeeper directly approached the owner of Yuehua Building, knocked on the table with his fingers, and cut straight to the point: "Hey, I'm here for business, I'll buy someone from you."
The principal raised his eyes and looked at the person who came, and recognized that it was the shopkeeper of Zhengguang Bookstore who had cooperated many times.
"Yo, who to buy?"
"This little lady wants to buy it."
The shopkeeper turned sideways to expose Shen Tang.
When the boss saw Shen Tang's face, his eyes lit up. If this appearance was fully grown, it would definitely be a cash cow!
Shen Tang said: "I want to buy a handyman who works in the back kitchen. His surname is Chu, his hair is gray, and he looks forty or fifty years old."
The principal withdrew his mind, and after a little thought in his mind, he knew who Shen Tang was looking for: "You mean Lao Chu, that old thing? Do you want to buy it?"
Shen Tang nodded: "En."
The shopkeeper persuaded from the side: "An elderly handyman, I sold it at a cheaper price. You have no loss, and you have given this little lady a lot of filial piety. It can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."
Shen Tang: "..."
