Chapter 38 "The Fairy in the Painting"

After the story was finished, Zhang Ehu said: "Could it be that there is a fairy who dreamed and taught this Bai Xianweng sword skills?"

Meng Cuiqiao said: "I don't know either."

Bai Yingyang listened with gusto, looked at the picture scroll and said: "It's obviously a sword technique, why do you see the inner strength and mind technique?"

Zhang Ehu said: "The moves on this picture scroll are cultivated both internally and externally, but not just the moves. My inner strength is realized from this painting. As for the sword technique, I also learned a lot from it. Added to 'Mandarin Duck Serial Knife'." He sighed again: "It's a pity that this picture is incomplete, the second half of the picture is lost..."

Bai Yingyang pulled Meng Cuiqiao's hand and said, "Xiao Qiao'er, where did you hear this story?" He heard Zhang Ehu calling "Xiao Qiao'er", so he was honest and blunt, and followed suit.

Meng Cuiqiao said: "There are storytellers in every major teahouse and restaurant. I often go there in my spare time. I heard the story of "Tianqu Baojian" from the storytellers."

Bai Yingyang said: "There are still people who tell these stories?"

Meng Cuiqiao smiled and said, "There are so many interesting stories, you can listen to them if you like."

Bai Yingyang said with a sad face: "Of course I want to listen, but my mother won't let me go to crowded places unless the tiger accompany me, but the tiger doesn't like to listen to books."

Zhang Ehu doesn't often listen to stories, he always thinks that they are made up by storytellers to fool children, and practicing martial arts is better than free time.

Meng Cuiqiao wondered: "Why doesn't mother-in-law let you go to a crowded place?"

Bai Yingyang said: "She said that I have a negative energy and it's not good to go to places with many people."

Meng Cuiqiao remembered Mrs. Zhang saying that Bai Yingyang had yin and yang eyes, and his body was full of yin. If Zhang Ehu, the most yang person, didn't stop him, he would go to crowded places alone and get entangled in unclean things.

Bai Yingyang said: "It took me a long time to persuade Tiger to accompany me to a teahouse or Yujianglou, but he doesn't like tea, and he thinks that the wine in Yujianglou is not as good as Wanli Liuxiang. He sleeps every time, and I can't listen to it alone. bored."

Meng Cuiqiao laughed and said: "If you listen seriously, why are books boring? It's just that the storytellers in the Teahouse and Yujianglou didn't speak well. I've been to all the teahouses and restaurants in Meilong County. If you want to hear about history, Just go to Zhengyuan Hall; if you want to listen to Romance, go to Barnyard Guanzhai; if you want to listen to storytelling, go to Yunjian Pavilion; if you want to listen to jokes, go to Ju Hotel; Wine making inn..."

Bai Yingyang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It turns out that Qingmei Cooking Wine Inn took this name because it wants to 'cooking wine to talk about heroes', and only talks about Jianghu affairs."

Meng Cuiqiao smiled and said: "Exactly, there are also some anecdotes from the ancient world, but after all, it's a long time ago, and there are not many stories. What everyone likes to hear most is the story after Emperor Tai|Zu expelled the Mongol Tartars."

Bai Yingyang wondered: "Isn't it history that Emperor Tai|Zu exterminated the Tartars?"

Meng Cuiqiao said: "Unofficial history is always more interesting than official history, not to mention that it is not about the imperial court, but about people in the martial arts world helping the Tai|Emperor Zu to kill Tartars..."

The two of them talked happily, but Zhang Ehu felt extremely bored, and interrupted: "Xiaoqiaoer, why did you say just now: 'Is this picture the "Tianqu Baojian", so it was taken away by the father-in-law. 'Is this painting originally yours?'

Bai Yingyang said: "Definitely not, otherwise he would have recognized it at the first sight."

Meng Cuiqiao nodded and said: "This painting belongs to Master Lu. I only saw it once from a distance, and I didn't look very carefully, but I can see the signature very clearly. ", there are no other paintings, so I recognize it."

Zhang Ehu said: "So that's how it is."

Bai Yingyang said: "By the way, Xiao Qiaoer, when I bought your portrait, the shopkeeper told me a story about you."

Zhang Ehu heard that it was related to Meng Cuiqiao, and asked, "What's the story?"

Bai Yingyang said: "The shopkeeper said that this Lu painter from the Wu family is extremely skilled in painting. The old bustard of Fuyin Pavilion spent a lot of money to invite him to Meilong County to paint a portrait for each girl in Fuyin Pavilion. How do you know this? Painter Lu is very lecherous, when he saw Xiao Qiao'er, he was immediately fascinated and became a nympho, and from then on he went to Fuyin Pavilion every day to paint Xiao Qiao'er."

Zhang Ehu said: "Has he been painting a portrait for a long time?"

Bai Yingyang shook his head and said: "No, he fell in love with Xiaoqiao'er, and he wanted to paint him all day long, and there are hundreds of paintings before and after."

Zhang Ehu looked at Meng Cuiqiao and thought to himself: "How can he draw such a peerless face? The artist must be bad at painting and painting, so he painted again and again."

Bai Yingyang continued: "Painter Lu went to the Fuyin Pavilion every day, which made the bustard very dissatisfied, and ordered the nursing home to drive him away. Painter Lu was upset, and clashed with the nursing home, accidentally knocked over a very expensive clean bottle, It fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and then fled. The old bustard was furious, and invited the head of security at that time, our father, to the Wumen Mansion to arrest Painter Lu and demanded that he pay for it."

Zhang Ehu wondered: "Our father?"

Bai Yingyang said: "Do you still remember that many years ago, Dad went to the Wumen Mansion, saying that he was going to catch a painter and thief."

Zhang Ehu thought for a while and said, "There is such a thing."

Bai Yingyang said: "But father went to painter Lu's house, but painter Lu had already run away, father found tens of thousands of portraits of Xiao Qiao'er in his house."

Zhang Ehu was surprised: "There are so many?"

Bai Yingyang said: "It is said that among the tens of thousands of portraits, there is one that is extremely vivid and beautiful, just like putting a small bridge into the painting, so people call it the 'immortal in the painting'."

Zhang Ehu felt strange, and asked, "Where is that 'Picture of Immortal' now?"

Bai Yingyang said: "I don't know about this, and the shopkeeper has never seen it before. I think, if there is such a good portrait, it must have been taken away for collection."

Zhang Ehu felt uncomfortable when he thought that someone had kept Meng Cuiqiao's portrait at home, and asked, "Xiao Qiaoer, is what little Baiyang said true?"

Meng Cuiqiao said: "Painter Lu does paint me every day. Mama Yan said that he always comes and I don't entertain other guests, so he is not allowed to enter the Fuyin Pavilion again. Painter Lu is very angry, but he got angry He just left, and didn't have any conflict with the nursing home, and didn't break the clean bottle."

Bai Yingyang said: "Since the clean bottle was not broken, why did the bustard ask Dad to catch Painter Lu?"

Meng Cuiqiao said with some embarrassment: "Then Painter Lu...wouldn't give up. One night, he slipped into my room somehow and lighted a kind of green wood fragrance, which made me dizzy. I took it away... At that time, my whole body was weak, my hands and feet were weak, and I couldn't resist."

Zhang and Bai turned pale with shock, and asked anxiously, "Did he hurt you?"

Meng Cuiqiao hesitated, "He arrested me for a portrait..."

Zhang Ehu said angrily: "This man actually did such indecent things for the sake of a portrait, he really went mad!"

Meng Cuiqiao said: "After I escaped from danger, I heard from Yan's mother that when I disappeared, she didn't think that it was Lu painter who did it. She was afraid that the report would ruin my reputation, so she asked my father-in-law to help find me. My father-in-law deduced that It is very likely that it was Lu painter who personally went to the Wumen mansion to save me."

Zhang Ehu said: "Reporting to the official will ruin your reputation?"

Bai Yingyang said: "You are so slow! The reputation of a daughter's family is very important. If people find out that a girl has been kidnapped by a strange man, even if she is rescued safely, outsiders will make irresponsible remarks, thinking that she has been ruined by a man, and will never look down on her again." This girl."

Zhang Ehu stared and said: "It's not the girl's fault that she was taken away."

Bai Yingyang sighed: "Some people will be very happy as long as they talk about other people's misfortunes. They don't blame the perpetrators, but blame the perpetrators. This is called watching from the sidelines and gloating."

Meng Cuiqiao smiled and said: "My father-in-law promised Yan's mother that I would never tell about my abduction by Lu painter, even you were kept in the dark."

Zhang Ehu and Bai Yingyang said triumphantly, "Daddy always speaks well!"

Bai Yingyang said again: "This painter Lu is really hateful, Xiao Qiaoer, after dad saved you, did he beat painter Lu severely?"

Meng Cuiqiao laughed and said: "Then Painter Lu is very clever. He just heard the voice of the father-in-law and immediately jumped out of the window to escape. The father-in-law didn't chase after me in order to take care of me."

Zhang Ehu said: "Take care of you? What happened to you then?"

Meng Cuiqiao said: "In order to prevent me from escaping, Master Lu kept burning green wood incense. When my father-in-law came to rescue me, I was lying on the bed and couldn't move at all. When my father-in-law saw it, he said that he was injured, so he didn't go after Lu. Painter."

Zhang and Bai said, "So that's how it is."

Meng Cuiqiao said: "Afterwards, my father-in-law packed up all the portraits and scrolls in Lu painter's house, and sent me back to Fuyin Pavilion. I thought that Lu painter fled and took away the "Tianqu Baojian". Now it seems that the "Tianqu Treasure Mirror" was taken by the father-in-law."

Bai Yingyang exclaimed in surprise, "Oh!"

Zhang and Meng were startled, and asked, "Why?"

Bai Yingyang smiled and said, "Daddy took so many portraits of Xiao Qiao'er, and I still buy them. What a waste of money!"

Zhang Ehu disdainfully said: "Who told you to buy it, Xiao Qiao'er is here, isn't he more beautiful than the portrait?"

Hearing his praise, Meng Cuiqiao smiled with great joy.

Zhang Ehu said: "But we have searched everywhere in Baojia Mansion, there is no portrait of Xiao Qiao'er at all."

Meng Cuiqiao smiled and said: "The portraits and scrolls brought back by the father-in-law from the painter Lu's house are all handed over to Yan's mother. Yan's mother only keeps my portrait, and the rest is still left to the father-in-law for disposal."

Bai Yingyang nodded and said: "So that's the case. No wonder there are so many paintings by Master Lu in Baojia Mansion. Father must have found them from his house. Neither Master Lu's paintings nor this "Tianqu Treasure Mirror" are portraits of Xiaoqiaoer. The bustard came back, and daddy put it in the warehouse."

Zhang Ehu said: "Then how did you deal with your portrait, why is it still available for sale in the market?"

Meng Cuiqiao sighed: "I originally wanted to burn it, but Yan's mother said it was unlucky to burn the portrait, so she put it in the warehouse. Unexpectedly, a few years later, thieves stole the Fuyin Pavilion. The portraits were also stolen, and after a while, someone sold my portraits on the market, alas..."
