The Siheyuan started with the young He Yuzhu

Chapter 41
Sun Zhaolong looked at He Yuzhu, his eyes were getting worse and worse!

As a man, he had a premonition that this guy named He Yuzhu obviously had plots against Qiuhong. He and Qiuhong were childhood sweethearts, and they always treated Qiuhong as a fiancée, so he couldn't tolerate other men coveting her!
Sun Zhaolong stood in front of Qiuhong calmly, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. He, thank you for your appreciation of my family Qiuhong. I thank you on her behalf!"

He Yuzhu had a smile on his face, not surprised at all, if Sun Zhaolong couldn't even see this sign, then he wouldn't be fond of Qiuhong!
He held Sun Zhaolong's hand indifferently, and said, "Hello, hello, so you are Qiu Hong's object, so disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Sun Zhaolong smiled triumphantly and said, "There, there, Qiuhong and I..."

Before she finished speaking, Qiu Hong said with a displeased face: "Mr. He, don't listen to his nonsense. Brother Zhaolong and I are just childhood sweethearts, and we are used to joking! We are not in a relationship!"

Qiuhong is like this, very twisted!Originally, it was true that Lang had love and concubine intentions!
The problem is that Sun Zhaolong has been expressionless, what will I do in the future, marry you and so on!

Qiuhong didn't get such confirmation, or Sun Zhaolong didn't pursue her, didn't give her a ceremony, so she didn't want Sun Zhaolong to take advantage of it!

I also don't want to default to being Sun Zhaolong's target!
On the contrary, because Sun Zhaolong said this, he was very upset, so he explained it to He Yuzhu in person without saving face!
How about saying that this woman has a brain problem, she only cares about herself and doesn't care about other people's feelings!
Especially in this situation, Sun Zhaolong deliberately said this in order to ward off He Yuzhu's covetousness. With Qiuhong's IQ, it might not be unexpected, but she just doesn't care about these things, but cares about those side details!
If those men think too much and have a big temper, they might have turned against Qiu Hong long ago!
Sun Zhaolong grew up with Qiuhong, but got used to Qiuhong's temper, rolled his eyes helplessly, but he couldn't help Qiuhong!

He Yuzhu laughed secretly, Sun Zhaolong's move was simply an assist for himself!

However, he will not take advantage of the victory to pursue. After all, Sun Zhaolong and Qiuhong are childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship. At this time, taking the initiative to attack will easily alert Qiuhong and keep him at a respectful distance!
He Yuzhu nodded, changed the subject cleverly, chatted with Qiu Hong about the art of Peking Opera, and then left at the right time!

Returning to the front seat, He Yuzhu saw an old man sitting there, Master Niu had already greeted him with a smile, it turned out that the old man was Old Wangtou!
Master Niu made an introduction, He Yuzhu and Lao Wangtou exchanged greetings, and the three of them sat down and drank a cup of tea before getting down to business.

Old Wangtou carefully took out a painting from the long wooden box!Open it and see that there are four women and one man painted on it, all in ancient costumes!

He Yuzhu didn't understand, so he looked at Master Niu, and Master Niu introduced: "Boss, this is Tang Yin's picture of Li Duanduan's birth! The only male in the picture is Cui Ya, a Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that every time he writes a poem in a prostitute, he must recite it in In the streets and alleys, the quality of the brothel business is closely related to his praise and criticism."

Master Niu casually pointed at Cui Ya and continued: "Boss, look, in order to show his power and status, Tang Yin placed him at the top of a triangle composition, obviously larger than the four women around him."

He Yuzhu speculated: "I have seen many ancient paintings before. It seems that men are bigger than other women. If it is the emperor, other men and women seem to be smaller. So this is used to highlight the status?!"

Master Niu nodded and said, "Exactly!"

He Yuzhu continued to ask: "Then what is the allusion to this painting that makes Cui Ya look so arrogant?!"

Master Niu turned his head to look at Old Wang's head, and asked, "Old Wang, you are most familiar with this painting, why don't you tell me about it?!"

The old Wang smiled and said: "I don't bother the two masters. What you said just now is sound, so let's continue! I'm thirsty and want to drink more tea!"

"Alright, then I'll continue to show my ugliness!"

Master Niu smiled and continued: "Boss, the allusion here is like this. This girl's name is Li Duanduan, and she was a famous prostitute at that time. Because the famous prostitute Li Duanduan didn't take good care of Cui Ya's friend Zhang Hu, Cui Ya wrote Poetry ridiculed her for being so dark that she couldn't see anyone when she didn't speak at dusk, her nostrils were as big as a smokestack, her ears were like cake pans, and there was only a comb in her head, which was so ugly that she looked like a half crescent on the Kunlun Mountains in the Western Regions."

"I'll go, this Cui Ya is really good at sarcasm, I think Li Duanduan will be very angry!"

He Yuzhu smiled.

Master Niu smiled and said: "It is inevitable for Li Duanduan to be angry, but he didn't dare to offend Cui Ya, so he could only endure it, but the extremely harsh words immediately affected Li Duanduan's livelihood, Li Duanduan lost income, and she is a straightforward beauty , I even went to find Cui Ya to make a theory. According to the records in "Yunxi Youyi" written by Fan Wei in the Tang Dynasty, Li Duanduan was crying on the ground at that time, and there are other records that she was flattering..."

"Hey! This doesn't seem right?!"

He Yuzhu carefully looked at Li Duanduan's expression, and said in doubt: "This Li Duanduan doesn't seem to be crying like you said, nor is he trying to seduce Cui Ya?!"

Master Niu smiled and said: "Boss, you are right, but Tang Yin must have his own purpose in painting like this. You see, the record of Yunxi Youyi cannot be wrong, but Li Duanduan in Tang Yin's pen subverts these impressions. And it made her stand in stark contrast with the straight, formally dressed, and complicated headgear maid standing opposite: except for the simple headscarf and two small solid red pieces on the chest, Li Duanduan did not have too many decorations on her body, and her facial features were not painted. She is very delicate and charming. The weakening of the external beauty allows the viewer to turn to focus on the inner beauty. She is casually holding a white peony flower, not even looking at Cui Ya. Such a disdainful Isn't the authoritative, unrestrained and elegant image not Tang Yin's portrayal of himself?"

He Yuzhu also read a lot of history books these days in order to take stock of historical events, and pondered: "I remember that Tang Yin seemed to fail the exams many times, and was captured by King Ning, so he had to pretend to be crazy and foolish, so he was able to escape and go home! Could it be that this painting really uses Li Duanduan to compare himself to his own experience?!"

"Boss, you are really clever!"

Master Niu flattered, and continued, "I haven't finished talking just now, facing Li Duanduan, a beautiful woman with extraordinary talents and courage, Cui Ya couldn't help but be impressed by her, so he immediately admitted his mistake and made another question to overturn the previous evaluation: "I found a yellow monkey embroidered saddle, and got it from Shanhefang.Yangzhou has been in trouble recently, and there is a white peony that can do it. ""

The old Wangtou was addicted to hearing it, and asked deliberately: "Lao Niu, do you know the origin of the word kindness?!"

Master Niu smiled and shook his head: "I'm not that knowledgeable, I really don't know!"

This is true, Mr. Niu just knows the antiques very well, but the source of words and expressions involves literary knowledge, and he is not a poor family who knows it!
The old Wangtou looked at He Yuzhu again, and He Yuzhu also smiled and said, "I don't know, why don't you continue to explain the confusion to us, my lord!?"
