Maoyoufang

One cannot fail to mention Zhou Mingfeng when it comes to the painting scene of the 70-year reign of the Great Jin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty.Fengmingfeng is the family of Weidong. Weidong is in the far west of the Jin Kingdom, where many foreign nationalities live there mixed together. The situation is quite similar to Fengdi, but he has lived in Beijing since he was a child, and most of the foreigners living in Fengdi are businessmen. Or as an official, his paintings were very famous when he was weak, and he was the pioneer of the orthodox painting school.

And Yujiang is in the east after the Jingjiang River, and it is located in the northeast. The Yujiang painting school mainly consists of Liang Rishan and a pair of brothers and sisters under his knees, namely Liang Yan and Liang Yi. They like to play and often travel all over the north and south with caravans. , The paintings are not limited to landscapes, figures, flowers, birds, insects, fish or other themes, and the content of creation is not limited at all.

Although Liang Yi is a woman, her landscape can have a forceful momentum. The brushstrokes are rough and straightforward, striving for speed, which is exactly like her father Liang Rishan, but it is the result of her understanding.On the contrary, his elder brother Liang Yan has a unique style of twists and turns in his brushstrokes, and he is not as wild as a man. Although he can imitate, he prefers to paint elegant flowers and women, which are elegant, delicate and soft.

Jiang Maoyou brought Liang Yan's dying draft to visit Zhou Mingfeng, and brought Lang Qingchi and his subordinates who were in charge of purchasing various items to visit Lord Shangshu's mansion.

The official system of the Jin Dynasty is based on three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, and five supervisors. In terms of power, it is more simplified, including three provinces, prime ministers, Yushitai, and nine temples.In the three provinces, the Shangshu alone leads hundreds of officials, and is of great power.Due to the heavy responsibility of the prime minister, it is used as the head of the three provinces, and because there is no order for the book, and then the title of the six ministers is crowned in the name of Tong Sanpin or Tongping Zhangshi, which is equivalent to the prime minister.Those who can check and balance are other institutions, such as Yushitai.

Since Maoyoufang is close to the imperial city, and the places where the officials and envoys live will not be far apart, Jiang Maoyou and the others walked on foot, and when the gatekeeper of Zhou Mingfeng's mansion came in to report, the three of them were first invited to the flower hall for tea.

Jiang Maoyou and Lang Qingchi sat on the side respectively, and Lang Qingchi's subordinates stood aside, the painting was in Jiang Maoyou's hand, he looked at Lang Qingchi, and jokingly said, "Qingchi, your hair seems to have turned white a lot."

Lang Qingchi glanced at him angrily, and responded casually: "Seeing you see a lot, you will naturally turn gray."

"Ah."

"What trick do you want to play?"

Jiang Maoyou brushed the hair on his shoulders, smoothed the long, high bun at the back of his head, and replied, "I just want to sell paintings."

"Just sell this one?"

"Hey, it's not just this one. I like Liang Yan's paintings very much, so I will sell them all."

Lang Qingchi looked at him strangely, and asked, "Sell him if you like it?"

"I want more people to like Liang Weng's paintings. Don't worry, most of his paintings will not just stay in a certain household's warehouse. You just wait and see." Jiang Maoyou covered his mouth and yawned, "This Shangshu Your Excellency is really busy, you must not have forgotten that I am coming." Just after finishing speaking, Zhou Mingfeng's figure appeared on the corridor visible from the window.

Jiang Maoyou found that Zhou Mingfeng's face was quite ugly, and he probably got into a fight with someone from Yushitai again. This man knows how to save face, and Zhou Mingfeng is also a hypocrite. Anyone who wants to expose his mask will be revenged by him.

As soon as Zhou Mingfeng entered the flower hall, Jiang Maoyou and the others stood up and saluted: "My lord Shangshu."

"Maoyou, are you mocking me?" Zhou Mingfeng glared at him, who smiled and sat down again.

"It's not sarcasm, I'm just a commoner, so naturally I have to salute when I see you."

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you now, what do you want me to do?"

"Liang Yan is dead."

Zhou Mingfeng's face froze suddenly, he was holding tea in his hand, he was speechless for a while, and he didn't ask until he calmed down, "Didn't you spend your money to live in Xiu Yuan, why did you die? Being sucked dry by those women?"

"Pfft." The people in Langqingchi couldn't help laughing, and they were greeted with three fierce beast-like stares at the same time, and immediately fell silent, not daring to breathe hard.

Jiang Maoyou answered, "When he dies, he dies. He dies from illness. But he is still able to leave, but he left some things for me to deal with."

"Oh? His paintings?" Zhou Mingfeng's eyes lit up, his expression eager.

Jiang Maoyou pursed his lips and smiled: "I know that Master Shang Shu has always been very fond of Liang Weng's paintings, and he has privately accepted a few paintings of his youth. This is a draft of Liang Weng's deathbed. I want to bring it for you to see first."

Zhou Mingfeng was so happy that he didn't listen carefully to what he said, and asked someone to bring the drawing table and unfold the picture.Jiang Maoyou moved slowly, and a few people gathered around the painting case to look at it. He said briefly: "This is a sketch. Liang Weng inscribed it as Xiaochuang Qiupu. You can recognize his private seal." What Jiang Maoyou didn't say was that Liang Yan's private seal is now on his own. It became a favorite in hand.

"You brought this here to show me for your intention──" Zhou Mingfeng was about to touch the small painting, Jiang Maoyou neatly put the painting away, with graceful and natural movements, pretending not to notice Zhou Mingfeng's intentions.

"Of course I appreciate it for you. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Kuang Art Square will hold a painting appreciation party in the hall of Yuhua Building. Besides Liang Weng's works, we also want to invite paintings from famous artists. If Lord Shangshu is willing to appreciate them, we also sincerely ask for paintings. In the future, Meng Qiu will auction off the exhibited paintings, of course, it’s okay if you don’t want to give up, it’s also an honor to come to our workshop just to appreciate paintings and communicate.”

Zhou Mingfeng was stunned for a long time before realizing it, nodded and backed away, and said with a clear smile: "So you want me to spend money to buy Liang Yan's paintings." This young man really has a trick, he didn't come to give the painting to curry favor with him, a high-ranking official , but asked him to pay for it himself.

"Xiaomin and adults are considered old friends, so naturally I don't want you to spend money to buy paintings, but since I dare to bring the paintings, it means that I have benefits from you, adults."

Zhou Mingfeng looked displeased at Jiang Maoyou and sat back holding the painting. After Jiang Maoyou took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, he continued to explain: "My lord, think about it, why am I selling paintings."

"Nonsense, it's not all about money!"

Jiang Maoyou nodded, but said, "That's half true."

"What's the meaning?"

Lang Qingchi answered, "The master did this to make the paintings you bought valuable, my lord."

"Exactly. If I sell the painting to adults in private today, even if I sell you 100 taels for such a painting, then this painting is only worth 100 taels. But if I let everyone see Liang Yan's painting, Let them bid, no matter what the price of this painting is called, in the future this painting will definitely not only be worth 100 taels. Those who can't afford it can understand Liang Weng's handwriting, and adults will have more face if they bid the painting."

"Hmph, you don't want me to spend a lot of money. If you want to hype the painting price, please go back."

"I'm here to discuss with your lord. Your lord is very knowledgeable. Haven't you heard of price?"

Zhou Mingfeng's annoyance faded away, and a sly smile slowly appeared in his eyes.

"My lord, you must understand what Xiaomin is thinking, but this place is not a good place to discuss."

Zhou Mingfeng's attitude suddenly changed, and he became more polite: "Why don't you take my carriage and let's go for a walk in the suburbs."

"Is it a little bit..."

"Don't wear this set, you dare to sit in the princess's sedan chair." Zhou Mingfeng teased him with a smile.Lang Qingchi silently broke into a cold sweat for Jiang Maoyou, why can they get along with this kind of people at Jiang's age, are they all the same kind of people?

Later, Jiang Maoyou visited several families one after another, almost bluffing people with his brilliant tongue. Later, when Lang Qingchi presented the account, he couldn't help asking him: "Although Liang Yan has a famous painting, you are not afraid that doing so is going too far." , will you harm yourself?"

Jiang Maoyou looked at him indifferently, and asked, "Qing Chi, what do you mean by going too far? Deliberately buying and selling Liang Weng's paintings?"

"If you do this, some art dealers will be dissatisfied."

"How come, I will post a notice to every art dealer. This is the first hand. How those paintings will develop in the future is up to fate. I like Liang Weng's paintings, so I did this. It's too wasteful to store them in the same place, why not Let them go away, maybe they will find their destination in the future. Each painting is a story of Liang Weng. I don’t think money can measure these things, but money is a means. Just like the business in our workshop, it is nothing more than singing and dancing, and there are also intelligence contacts .”

"If the waves are too big, no matter how good the boat is, it will capsize."

Jiang Maoyou pointedly smiled and said: "Qingchi, you are worrying too much. All I do is prop up the big sail on the boat. Before you are ready to go elsewhere, I am also on the boat, so this boat I It won’t let it capsize, didn’t you survive several storms? Didn’t my parents jump off the boat and prop up the sails by themselves, don’t you trust me at the helm?”

"Maoyou, you're still young..."

"You are presumptuous." Jiang Maoyou's eyes were sharp, and he slapped the table and shouted. "I'm not going my own way. I understand what you say and think. It's just that I have my own measure. Let's go out."

Lang Qingchi left with a sullen face, leaving Jiang Maoyou alone in the tent.Jiang Maoyou got up and went to the back cabinet, took out four thick account books, and spread them on the table with a wry smile: "These account books are so beautifully made, I almost hid it from me. You have already made plans for yourself, why don't you?" Afraid of the ship sinking?"

It turned out that Lang Qingchi and other people colluded to cooperate in false accounts, and there were no mistakes on the surface, but as long as they secretly checked the channels and merchants who purchased the goods, they would find that they did not match the accounts.In the past few years, Jiang Maoyou has secretly made real account books, and those are the profits and losses of Kuang Yi Fang.

"Before purchasing each item, you need to inquire about the price of three shops, but the three shops are all managed by the same person. It's really easy to get money." Jiang Maoyou snorted softly, keeping the real account in his heart, silently observing other people's movements.

He thought that everything was under his control, but when he returned to the garden, he realized that was not the case. Jiang Ziwu was carrying a light bag and dressed as if he was about to travel far. It really scared him, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface. Call her kindly: "Sister, what's the matter with you? Where are you going to travel in this outfit?"

Jiang Ziwu stared at him coming, and suddenly slapped him hard, his left cheek was immediately red and swollen. "fraud!"

Jiang Maoyou took a deep breath to calm himself down, but he couldn't help being afraid. "Sister, you..." It was the first time she scolded him so angrily, and she had never hit him like this.

"I haven't seen Li Yumu in the palace for several months. I thought he was deliberately avoiding us, but it turned out that you were lying to me. You have been having private meetings with him all the time. You..." Jiang Ziwu blushed Eyes, tears rolled in the eyes.

"So you know." Jiang Maoyou felt that the lie had been exposed, and he immediately regained his composure, pulled away from the relationship between his siblings, and said calmly as if he were a bystander: "Li Yanmu wants Jiang Maoyou, you should give up."

Jiang Ziwu slapped him again, angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Why, I will give you everything, I love you so much, but you want to take away my only love, you liar!" The scabbard kept hitting him, and he let her vent her anger without hiding.

"You love him?" Jiang Maoyou endured the pain and sneered. "For an outsider... Forget it, you can leave as soon as you want, it's better to stay away, lest I become a heartless villain again."

"Maoyou, when others misunderstood you, I thought I was the only one who understood you, but it turned out that I didn't understand you at all. I think I'd better leave Fengdi, lest I be sacrificed by you one day." Jiang Ziwu smiled with tears : "Everyone is selfish, right? You're just..."

"Enough, let's go. I don't want to hear your useless words."

Jiang Ziwu wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes, and questioned, "Answer me one thing."

"ask."

"You're not trying to harm Li Yanmu, are you?"

"...How come. I want him to sit where he wants to sit, not to mention that he is rich in the city and has no ambitions. I won't be so stupid as to oppose him."

Jiang Ziwu stared at him bitterly, as if he wanted to bite him to death, finally heaved a long breath, turned around powerlessly, and murmured: "We only have the same appearance, but you don't know how to love, I don't love you anymore, oh You. If there is an afterlife, I will not pamper you anymore, you liar."

She still couldn't bear it, and wanted to end it with a sword, but she couldn't bear her brother.Both love and hate, but if she can, she really doesn't want to leave Maoyou like this.Knowing that Maoyou will do everything possible to make her go away and live a stable life, but she still hates it.

***

There is a painting boat on the water in the outskirts of Beijing, and the music of silk and bamboo can be heard from the boat. It should be that someone on the boat is hosting a banquet.Tong Yuguang went outside to blow some air, and the two invited dancers followed.

They are also the descendants of artists who were expelled from the palace before. They were taken care of by Tong Yuguang and lived in Fengdi for a few years. This time, Boss Tong accompanied him on the boat of another wealthy businessman, and blocked unnecessary entertainment for him at any time. .Because the rich businessman was drunk, they went outside to enjoy the scenery of the Jingjiang River.

"Boss, sister Yuhu, you see, this is already Jingjiang, and you will be able to enter Fengdi soon."

"Look at how excited you are." Yuhu fanned the leaf-colored summer willow fan, suddenly his expression changed, and he pointed to the waves of water splashing on the river in front of him: "Someone fell into the water!"

There was commotion on the shore after Yuhu Lake. There are many people who understand water in Fengdi. Several people are already stretching their muscles and bones and preparing to go into the water to save people. Seeing this, Tong Yuguang just comforted her: "There are so many people. If you want to go into the water to save someone, don’t panic.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a cloud of white passing across the river. The man seemed to easily grab the man who fell into the water by the collar and lift him up.The boat that Tong Yuguang was on also docked slowly, and the man in white had long since disappeared, but he heard Yuhu and Jin Li talking about him.

"Sister Yuhu, I think that person seems to be Jiang Maoyou."

"After what you said, there is indeed a nine-point resemblance, but it is a bit far away. Is Boss Jiang going out of town for something?"

"Are you going to go hunting in autumn with the daughter of another family? You know that he knows how to charm women best. I have seen him shoot arrows. He is full of vigor and heroism."

"I'm not interested in the young man." After Yuhu finished speaking, he glanced at Tong Yuguang secretly, and asked with a smile, "Boss, Master Shen's boat is going to stop here, and we continue to take the boat with the wind?"

Tong Yuguang was thinking about what happened just now, and responded distractedly: "No. I got on the ship to talk about a business, and I won't bother you when the business is done. You can stay and play if you want. I want to go shopping at will, and I will come back later. Go to Beijing."

Jin Li reminded: "Boss, Fengdi's curfew is earlier than other places, you don't have a nocturnal sign on you, remember to come to Beijing early."

Tong Yuguang responded, and walked into the suburban market alone. There were many people doing business with burdens on the side of the road, most of them were local snacks, and some were fighting tea. Generally, the chance of finding good goods here is not high, so He just browses casually.

After walking for a while, he saw a young man sitting in a noodle stall drinking tea and laughing with a monk. The young man's face was like a crown of jade, and he looked calm and stable when he was not smiling. When he smiled, his lips were red and his teeth were as white as flowers.

Before he knew it, he had walked into the noodle stall and asked them, "You were the one who saved people on the river just now?"

The young man looked up at him, put down his teacup and nodded: "It's me."

Tong Yuguang smiled slightly and said, "I just want to meet you, your qinggong is pretty good."

"I'm only good at tricks, please sit down." The young man unrulyly pulled out the chair and invited people to sit down. Tong Yuguang greeted the monk and sat down generously.

"What to eat?"

Tong Yuguang glanced at his bowl and shouted, "I want a bowl just like his."

The young man smiled and said, "My noodles are vegetarian. Your Excellency is also vegetarian?"

"I'm not a vegetarian."

Tong Yuguang found that there were two pieces of meat in the monk's bowl, so he didn't say anything. The monk looked very kind, nodded and shook his head. He didn't know what he was laughing at. After drinking tea, he picked up his crutches and said to the boy: : "Then I went into the mountain."

The boy waved goodbye and said, "Go slowly."

After the monk walked away for a while, Tong Yuguang asked, "Which monk ate meat just now?"

The young man laughed: "I thought you were going to ask me first, why did you ask him first. He needs physical strength, so what's wrong with eating meat?"

"..."

"Who stipulated that monks must not eat meat? It was not stipulated by humans."

Tong Yuguang nodded and agreed: "That's true. I haven't asked your name yet..."

"My name is Jiang...Maoyou."

"Oh."

The young man grinned and said, "Look at your reaction, you've heard my name before. Then I won't say more. You can go to Maoyoufang if you have time. If you don't know how to find Kuangyifang, you can go to a nearby teahouse and ask. They all know."

The young man lowered his head and continued to eat noodles. He concentrated on eating noodles, and the speed was fast. After a while, he had put more than a dozen coins on the table, and shouted to the noodle cooker: "I will pay for his portion and the old monk's."

Tong Yuguang pressed his hand to block it, but was rejected first: "You take your time, we will meet again when we are destined."

Seeing the young man in white clothes win the snow into the crowd in the blink of an eye, Tong Yuguang only felt that there were so many people going in and out of Fengdi that day, and he had no time to ask clearly.

In the evening, Tong Yuguang hired a carriage. He originally planned to live in Fengdi's pre-arranged residence, which was near the Cuiya Hall in Zhaomofang, but he asked the coachman to drive the carriage to Maoyoufang. The dark alleys of the square.

The coachman stopped the car, turned around and told Tong Yuguang, "My lord, there is a narrow path ahead, and the car can't pass it. Please get out of the car and walk a few steps."

Tong Yuguang got out of the car, asked the driver to send a message to Cui Ya Tang, and then walked in. When he reached the corner where Kuang Yi Fang was hidden, he found that the dark alley was completely different from what he imagined. There is a slender water flow, and there are Jianhua lanterns along the road, which looks illusory and beautiful.The door of Kuang Yifang is an ordinary wooden door, not to mention the tent flags placed in the theater outside.

"At first glance, it's really...simple." Tong Yuguang hesitated whether to go in now. At this moment, the clappers outside the square had already been knocked before entering the curfew. It happened that someone opened the door. It was a man with thick eyebrows like swords. With a smile on his face, he greeted: "Guests, come in, it's already curfew. You are not a local, and it is too late to live outside Maoyoufang. Come in quickly. I will talk to the head of the house for you, and let him take less room for you." money."

Tong Yuguang smiled slightly, and said, "Then trouble this brother to lead the way." Since someone invited him to come in, he will be fine with whatever happens.Anyway, he has always been curious about Jiang Maoyou, and today he can finally see him again.

"My guest, do you just want to stay here? If you want to eat, drink or enjoy a show, just ask anyone. Our place is very casual. It's a place for entertainment and relaxation. Don't be too restrained. Oh, right , My name is Ruibin. The boss always laughs at me that my stage name has too many strokes and words. In fact, I am quite selective. Oh, if you are hungry and want to eat, I suggest you order pine tail fish, our cook The craftsmanship is excellent. Also, there are no female artists in this workshop, and you can usually invite them from Xiuyuan or other places if you want to see them, but at this time you can’t travel at night. There are currently two female artists in the workshop. One is Sanxian, the other is good at five strings, because a guest prefers ancient music, he was specially invited to perform in the workshop.”

"Well, that's how it is." Tong Yuguang said perfunctory behind him, thinking that Jiang Maoyou was right, this person really talks a lot.

"Oh, and I forgot to tell you that I am a musician, and I usually don't greet guests very much. If the master says that I talk so much, it will scare the guests, but I see that you are so calm and calm, so I won't scare you. Isn't it?"

Seeing him turn around, Tong Yuguang gave him a natural smile, but sighed in his heart: "You talk a lot." But there was no need to worry about it. After waiting for Ruibin to take a breath, Tong Yuguang asked, "Your Jiang family members What? I want to meet him."

Rui Bin took him to Yuhua Tower, went up the stairs and heard him ask about Jiang Maoyou, tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly stopped and turned around and replied: "What a coincidence, he and others went to the suburbs of Beijing to show Liang Yan's paintings the day after tomorrow. will come back when."

"I went to the outskirts of Beijing..."

"That's right. How about you, the guest, come to appreciate the paintings at that time. Oh, right, right, I was so busy talking about it that I forgot to ask the guest's name."

Tong Yuguang smiled slightly, and said perfunctorily: "No one is worth mentioning. The people in my shop will come to pick me up tomorrow. Will I pay off the credit at that time?"

"Don't worry about the money. We will never force customers to pay the bill in one go. If you are a regular customer, even a year's credit is negotiable. If the owner says credit, it's just a customer borrowing money. It's no big deal, you Don't worry about it." Rui Bin smiled, but he didn't say that the interest on credit at Kuang Yifang is one to two cents, which is simply usury.However, this will be clearly stated when the customer pays the credit, and it is not considered a fraud, and other colleagues are like this, so there is nothing to make a fuss about.

"Then let me ask you one more thing..."

"Okay, okay, you ask, you ask."

"You are at home..."

"Uh-huh."

"Are you headed by a woman?"

Rui Bin walked upstairs and turned his head suddenly, looked at Tong Yuguang in surprise, and said in surprise: "Uh, I know that when the head of the family becomes an adult, he must be the kind of man that all the women of the family will admire and admire, but he... ...Even if you are the best at dancing water sleeves, you still can't see the slightest bit of femininity, waiter...do you like masculinity?"

As far as Rui Bin knows, most men who like masculinity like to have a pinkish and feminine temperament, but a few prefer men with more masculine vibes, so Jiang Dangjia fits the bill.

However, because of the guest's words, Rui Bin couldn't help thinking of Jiang Maoyou's appearance in women's clothing, and suddenly blushed a little.Shouldn't be able to imagine it, but blushed because of a vague and empty phantom, Rui Bin suddenly felt awkward, shook his head to put aside distracting thoughts.

"...No, I'm just asking."

Rui Bin thought he was shy, so he simply smiled and said, "Oh, it's not a big deal to like men. It's very common in Beijing. You don't have to be shy when you are a stranger from other places, really. Although the male artists in Kuang Yifang are generally They like women, some get married or have wives and children to support, but there are also a few who love men.”

Tong Yuguang was already expressionless and was too lazy to perfunctory. Fortunately, Rui Bin recruited other Dongfeng to serve him and go to other things, otherwise he would really tell Rui Bin to shut up.If it is said that Tong Yuguang loves men, it is not the case, it just happens that the one he loves is a man.

"I thought it would always be a coincidence, but I just passed by." Tong Yuguang murmured with wine in the temporary room: "The boy I saw today was obviously dressed up by a woman. A woman has to bear such a big burden." The Kuang Yifang... is it for this talented woman to disguise herself as a man?"

However, the people who came to welcome Tong Yuguang from Cuiyatang the next day were in vain, and Tong Yuguang ran elsewhere alone without explaining a single word, which made Dou Xuemo angry at the apprentice who made a small mistake in the shop.

It turned out that Tong Yuguang wanted to take advantage of the fact that no one could recognize who he was, and took the opportunity to secretly visit various private businesses, and take in the atmosphere of Fengdi's folk life along the way.On the avenue between Liquanfang and Xuanfengfang, Tong Yuguang was walking around, and he heard a clean and warm voice by chance. Looking back, it was a young man who was holding a magpie mirror to make a woman laugh. The boy had distinct looks. It was the same as what Tong Yuguang saw yesterday, but he felt that it was not the same person.

The boy in front of him is not like a woman disguised as a man, and the appearance of joking with a woman is really romantic and handsome. Although the Adam's apple is hardly visible, Tong Yuguang intuitively feels that this is the first time he has seen this person.

The woman who took the magpie mirror and said she wanted to buy it covered her face with a fan, covered her lips and whispered to the boy: "Maoyou, there is a man over there who has been staring at us, what's going on? Do you know him?"

Jiang Maoyou slowly suppressed his smile, followed what the woman said and looked at Tong Yuguang. The latter looked at Tong Yuguang generously and calmly, and he did not avoid looking at him.Jiang Maoyou's expression was lazy, his eyes were dark like deep pools, at first sight he would only be regarded as a dull boy, he seemed to be thinking about nothing, but also seemed to be thinking about something.

But Tong Yuguang felt that this young man was very scheming, and it was difficult to distinguish right from wrong for a while.Jiang Maoyou also looked back. He and Tong Yuguang had never met before, and the sight was not amazing, but the more he looked at it, the more impressed he was, because this man was calm and composed, hiding his arrogance very well, but his eyes were sharp. Still revealing somewhat, it seems to be of the same kind as him... a wolf, a wolf with more ambition than himself.

"What advice does this dear friend have?" Jiang Maoyou opened his mouth first, with a relaxed tone, without any hostility, and even asked with a slightly frivolous smile: "Are you also interested in the magpie mirror in this girl's hand? Then I'm sorry, I I have already bid the price to the boss and paid the bill, I can’t give up what this girl likes.”

Tong Yuguang didn't explain, but followed his words with a look of pity, and said, "Yes, it's a pity."

"You are a foreigner, do you want to choose a mirror to send the girl you like?"

"I'm really from out of town."

"Listen to the accent, you're from the north. How about this, I'll help you choose one and make sure that girl likes it."

Tong Yuguang thought it was interesting, and asked him instead: "You don't know who I'm going to gift, how do you know that person will like it?"

"Of course everyone loves good things. Well, boss, I'm going to another room to pick out good things." Jiang Maoyou turned to the woman and smiled, "Do you want to pick another one?"

"Don't... you spend so much money, you must be trying to sell me again. I have an appointment for tea with someone, so you can say hello yourself."

After the woman Jiaochen finished speaking, she left quickly. Jiang Maoyou secretly stuck out her tongue, and said to Tong Yuguang with a smile: "Hey, women are difficult to coax. She knows that I like to give things to take advantage of her, so she ran away. So, Women are still a little bit stupid to make people hurt, right?"

"I like women who have ideas of their own."

"What bullshit. A lot of people say they like smart women, but in the end they are still stupid when they hug them on the bed every day." Jiang Maoyou raised his lips in disdain, quite like a street ruffian, but once he retracted his contemptuous face, With a blank face, Xuan turned back to the thoughtful young man.

"What are you doing, come with me and show you."

Tong Yuguang was still wondering if this was the person who met the woman disguised as a man yesterday, but was disturbed by Jiang Maoyou. Jiang Maoyou took his hand and walked deep into the shop when he was not paying attention.

Tong Yuguang frowned and was unhappy. He hated being touched by strangers, but somehow he didn't let go of the young man's warm palm. Just a moment ago, he felt that the young man's city was deep, but now he saw the young man holding him carelessly. his hand……

"I don't buy magpie mirrors anymore."

Jiang Maoyou said "噫", turned his head and smiled, thinking that he had no money to buy it, and comforted him: "It doesn't cost money if you don't buy it. Take a look."

Tong Yuguang pulled his hands away and smiled apologetically.

"I really don't want to appreciate it. The magpie mirror in this shop is so exquisite."

"...Well, it's good to have a look." After Tong Yuguang answered, he subconsciously kept his distance.
