【Xiaming】Dyeing paper

He was sent to Wudang by Xiang Shuai, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

That day until he followed Chu Liuxiang to the bottom of Wudang Mountain Gate, he still had a dazed expression and no real feeling.It was easy to slow down, but within a few days, he encountered a big disturbance in Wudang Mountain - his second senior brother who hadn't met a few times swaggered and defected from Wudang, and it almost affected him.

But other than that, he's doing quite well.The master retreated all day long and didn't discipline them very much, and because he didn't start practicing at a young age, the teachers and uncles also forgave him very much.After all, he was still a half-year-old boy with an unstable temperament, and soon became one with Song Juyi, Xiao Jutang and the others, and lived happily all day long.For a moment, he even felt that there was no difference from Jinling except that there was no family member here.

After a day of schoolwork, he trembled three times under the serious concern of Uncle Wen, forcefully forced a smile, and gave a pleasing salute with his eyebrows down, watching the other party gradually walk away. Let out a sigh of relief.

He rubbed his sore shoulders after meditating for half a day, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Jutang running over in a hurry, holding a volume of scriptures in his hand, and waved at him.

Before he could catch his breath, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the trouble?"

Xiao Jutang hooked his fingers towards him, and when he got closer, he looked around, lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I'll show you something good."

He thought that Xiao Jutang got the ingenious thing from somewhere, but he didn't want the other party to just stuff the scriptures in his hand, looked at him with a smile and said: "Open it and have a look."

He curled his lips, thinking it was some sideways idea, and opened it disapprovingly, but was stunned for a moment.Although the book cover is made in the shape of a scripture, the content inside is like a market script.He casually flipped through most of it, but when he saw an illustration on a certain page, he threw the book out.

His face was flushed, but Xiao Jutang let out an oops, rushed forward to pick up the book, patted the dust on it like a baby, then looked at him proudly and said, "How is it?"

what about...

His cheeks flushed when he was asked by the other party, and he squeezed out a few words through his teeth after a long while: "Xiaotang...how do you think about such things."

Xiao Jutang was stunned by his question, then looked at his reaction, and dared not say anything: "Junior brother...you haven't read such a script, have you?"

For some reason, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and was afraid of showing his timidity in front of Xiao Jutang, so he said stiffly: "Who said that he hadn't seen it? I just... saw it suddenly, and I was a little surprised."

Xiao Jutang looked at him dubiously for a moment, and just when he felt uncomfortable, Xiao Jutang said in a drawn-out voice: "Oh——"

He was overwhelmed by the meaningful words from the other party, snatched the book back in a flash of his brain, opened a page and read aloud: "These two are rubbing each other's ears and temples, the jade sea is bumpy, the sky is thundering and the earth is burning— —”

Xiao Jutang was stunned by him for a moment, and when he realized it, he rushed forward and covered his mouth, and said angrily: "Hush your voice! Do you want to copy the Heart Sutra after my uncle heard it!"

He broke Xiao Jutang's hand, snorted and said, "You are also afraid sometimes."

Xiao Jutang glared at him and said, "Who's afraid of being found out? The uncles have never seen anything before, how could they punish me for such a thing? I'm afraid that the uncles will find out that I wrote it."

He groaned, flipped through a few pages, and suddenly realized the meaning of Xiao Jutang's words, raised his head suddenly, looked at Xiao Jutang with wide eyes and said: "You you you you you..."

Xiao Jutang rolled his eyes at him, pulled the book back, and said leisurely: "What a fuss, this is not the first book."

He looked at Xiao Jutang's natural expression, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

He is in Wudang, which is famous for its asceticism, right?

Xiao Jutang looked at him, and added as if he didn't think it was enough: "This painting is still painted by the fourth child."

When Xiao Jutang mentioned this, he just remembered the quite fragrant pictures in the book just now, and his face turned red again. He resisted the desire to ask Xiao Jutang what kind of mentality he came up with for making such a book, and coughed. Two voices: "Okay, okay, I know you guys are versatile. Just why are you showing me this?"

After hearing this, Xiao Jutang lifted the book in front of him and said triumphantly: "My fourth brother and I are going to sell this book and make a fortune—to make a lot of money."

He said helplessly, "Are you short of money?"

Xiao Jutang glanced at him with the expression of looking at a fool, as if he held back the desire to hurt him again, changed into a rather bright smiling face and patted his shoulder: "Junior brother——"

He suddenly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, he took three steps back and looked at Xiao Jutang defensively.

Xiao Jutang's hands froze in the air, he gritted his teeth and looked at him, "What are you hiding?"

He looked at Xiao Jutang with a straight face and said, "I won't buy it!"

Xiao Jutang was stunned for a moment, looked at him with disgust and said, "What are you thinking? Let you buy it? Have you forgotten how you came to Wudang? Do you still have a penny with you?"

He choked for a moment, recalling the way Xiangshuai brought him up the mountain in tattered clothes with light work like a little chick, and suddenly felt a little unbearable to look back on the past.

After he went up the mountain, he didn't mention his real identity. Only the head of the sect and a few high-ranking uncles knew the real inside story.As for these senior brothers, he didn't specifically say that Xiao Jutang and the others only regarded him as a poor young man picked up by Xiangshuai at random, with no assets, and Wudang only accepted him as a favor of Xiangshuai. Did not delve into it.

He didn't argue, and he thought that Xiao Jutang had better think that he had no money, otherwise he would be forced to buy this book, and he really... couldn't buy it.

Xiao Jutang didn't care what he was thinking, just motioned him to come over, and whispered in his ear for a while, his face turned green and then white, and finally turned red like a boiled shrimp, and said in shock: "You guys Do you want to order the Xiangge???"

Xiao Jutang nodded, and said to him: "Anyway, Master Uncle has allowed us to go down the mountain to Jinling to see Senior Brother Cai, and it is just a way to bring this book, let Senior Brother Cai be close to the water and help us do business."

Hearing this, his first reaction was that Xiao Jutang really had a bit of his elder brother's business mind.After thinking about it, I felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but I couldn't tell.In the end, he said a little weakly: "You can go as long as you want, what are you pulling me for?"

Xiao Jutang sighed and said, "You think I'm willing to tell you about this. Uncle Shi said, I can't go that far alone. Anyway, I heard that you are from Jinling. Come with me and help me lead the way. What's wrong?"

He couldn't find a reason to refute for a while, Xiao Jutang saw that he didn't speak, so he acquiesced that he agreed to the matter, raised his hand and patted his shoulder happily and said, "It's settled! The fourth brother has something to do. Let’s go, I’m going to ask my junior brother to take care of me for this trip.”

He looked at the back of Xiao Jutang who was bouncing away, wanting to cry but no tears.

The fleeting years are unfavorable.

He was dragged by Xiao Jutang all the way to Gulou Street, but he refused to take a step into that Xiangge.

Xiao Jutang didn't know why he was so excited, his strength was astonishing, he couldn't help but push him to the girl at the door, looked at him with a smile and said: "Junior brother, we've already arrived here, why are you so shy?"

The girl who took the guests pursed her lips into a smile, glanced at him with those tender eyes, and said to Xiao Jutang again: "Little brother, this is not the place you should come to."

Xiao Jutang seemed afraid of being stopped outside, rolled his eyes and said: "Oh, sister beauty, I just look younger, and I am actually quite old. If you don't believe me, ask him, he is my junior brother."

The girl laughed when she heard it, she just thought he was talking nonsense, but Xiao Jutang's pink carvings were very pleasing, so she didn't feel too embarrassed, she just said softly: "You two are going to come to our Linglong workshop play?"

He blushed and nodded, only to be patted violently by Xiao Jutang before he realized, "No... no. We're going to order Xiangge."

The girl smiled even more when she heard this, and joked: "Is this your first time here, little brother? You can enter some Xiangge, but this young master can't."

He felt terrified when he was looked at, and lowered his eyes involuntarily, but he was facing the girl's half-exposed breasts hidden by the red veil, and turned his head in embarrassment.

They were talking in this room, but suddenly there was a greasy voice that could make people get goosebumps.

"Ouch! Isn't this the young master of the Liu family? What brought you here? Didn't I hear that you went to Wudang to learn the Tao?"

As the man spoke, he twisted and moved closer.He looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him, but he really couldn't remember that he was familiar with her.Only nodded awkwardly, and asked doubtfully, "You know me?"

The mother in charge had done a lot of work for ushering and delivering, and she had already memorized all the dignitaries and dignitaries who could be named in Jinling in her heart.Hearing what he said at this moment, he shook his handkerchief and said, "What are you talking about! Is there anyone in Jinling City who doesn't know the young master of the Liu family?" He called the girl affectionately to take his arm, Mei smiled and said: "Since you're here, why don't you go in and sit around?" After that, he winked at the girl and wanted to push him in.

Xiao Jutang was left alone, curled his lips and said: "Junior brother, don't pretend, I didn't expect you to be a flamboyant playboy, tell me, isn't this your first time here?"

He couldn't argue, and said with a dejected face: "I think, if my elder brother finds out that I'm coming to this kind of place, his legs will be broken."

Xiao Jutang rolled his eyes, apparently not believing his words at all.

The mother in charge noticed Xiao Jutang next to him, looked at his demeanor, rolled her eyes and came forward to compliment him: "Is this young master a friend of Young Master Liu? Come in and sit down."

Xiao Jutang immediately put on a cute smile, and said to the mother in charge: "I have something to go to the Dianxiang Pavilion, can mother tell this sister to let me go upstairs to the Dianxiang Pavilion. "

He looked at Xiao Jutang, then at his mother in charge, and said helplessly, "Can Mom help me? He just went to visit a friend."

The mother in charge showed dismay after hearing this, but she managed to get a cash cow like Mr. Liu's family today, and she would never offend him just like that.Although it is inconvenient for her to intervene in the business of Dianxiang Pavilion, after all, the person behind Dianxiang Pavilion is inextricably linked with the people behind Linglongfang, and considering the age of the child in front of her, nothing will happen even if she goes to Dianxiang Pavilion Come, so she gritted her teeth and said to the girl at the door: "Hongxiu, take this young man to the Xiangge. If Mama Liang asks, she will say that he is the guest I introduced."

After that, she dragged the person who wanted to get up and leave with Xiao Jutang into Linglongfang affectionately, and said with anger: "Master, you don't have to go, right? But are you not satisfied with our girl in Linglongfang?" ?”

He watched Xiao Jutang signal him to stay here, he breathed a sigh of relief, and planned to wait where he was.But the mother in charge was willing to let him drink cold wine aside, and greeted him casually, and he was pushed to sit in the banquet, surrounded by a bunch of half-dressed girls.Not long after, there was a hundred taels of precious wine in front of him, and the most expensive luthier was invited beside him. He had a bitter face when he was persuaded to drink, but suddenly he heard the exclamation of the people around him: "Miss Ying is here!"

The girl next to him immediately behaved most of the way, and he was relieved, but when he was about to look for an opportunity to sneak away, a hand was put on his shoulder. He turned his head and saw a white as jade Hand, and then looked up, and saw that extremely beautiful face.

But the beauty didn't stay long, but walked provocatively through the tables of the guests, occasionally squinting, her red lips were slightly raised, her eyes were like water waves, and she was full of seductive beauty. color.

All the men at the banquet looked straight at her, and there was a gasp from time to time where her eyes swept over.The beauty stepped up to the central stage covered with a soft red woven carpet, stroked the step on her head, and gave a light salute: "Little girl Fang Ying, I will sing a song for all the guests."

Although her voice was soft, it didn't look greasy, and even had a bit of coldness in it.But this voice is like a small hook, the slightly picked tone at the end makes people's heart itch, and feels numb and comfortable.

Her color is also very good.If you use the eyebrows like distant black and eyes like autumn waves to describe her, it would be a bit vulgar, but it seems that there are really no words to describe her feeling.The way she smiled was extremely attractive, but her whole body was a little cold and arrogant, which made her look refined and beautiful.These two temperaments mixed in her body, but it didn't make people feel strange, on the contrary, it was very natural, as if she was born to be like this.

She loosened the bun on her head and tied it in a loose knot. Her long ink-like hair like a waterfall was winding down to her waist, reflecting the carmine red dress on her body and her fair skin. It almost took everyone's mind away.With the sound of the piano, she held a feather fan in one hand and danced gracefully.

Everyone has a heart for beauty, and the men in the audience are almost bewildered, with undisguised desire in their eyes.He also stared blankly at the woman dancing on the stage, but he didn't have any obscene thoughts.The woman turned her face away from time to time as she moved, and when he looked at it, he felt as if he had seen that side face somewhere before, giving him a strange sense of familiarity.

After dancing to the song, the woman gave another salute. When he thought that the woman was about to leave the stage, he saw her walking towards him.Subconsciously, he was a little nervous and stood up abruptly, but when the woman walked in front of him, her eyes rolled across her face, the corners of her lips curled slightly, she turned and left without saying a word.

He stood there in a daze, and the girl next to him just thought he was staring straight at him, and couldn't help laughing out loud, jokingly said: "Your master sees Miss Ying, so the slave's house will be out of sight?"

Only then did he come back to his senses, his face flushed slightly and he said, "This girl...I seem to have seen her somewhere before."

The woman opened her eyes slightly, and then burst out laughing and said: "Miss Ying is famous in Jinling, you must have seen me before." Looking at him again, she said narrowly: "My lord, you usually talk to us like this If there are not a hundred people, there will be a thousand, you have to learn some new tricks."

He wanted to refute but didn't know how to speak, and suddenly lost his temper and said, "Well, you're right."

The girl looked at his drooping face, afraid of making him unhappy, she smiled and coaxed him: "Oh, don't be discouraged, young master, Miss Ying will pay more attention to a handsome person like you. .Didn’t you just come to the young master’s table just now?”

The girl next to him praised him again and again, but she blushed again when she praised him.There are always some people who indulge in wine and sex in the entertainment hall, but it is rare to see a thin-skinned person like him.In addition, his temperament is gentle, and his appearance is particularly handsome. Compared with those old men who come and go with big bellies, I don't know how much better. At this time, with such a mood, several girls were even aroused to playful, and made fun of them from time to time. The older ones occasionally pinched his cheeks, just making him want to find a place to bury himself and get rid of it, which is better than sitting on pins and needles.

When he was about to lose his hold, Xiao Jutang finally walked down from the Dianxiang Pavilion upstairs with three jumps.As if he had received amnesty, he didn't care about the other party's eyes looking at him with a half-smile but not a thoughtful look, he just hurriedly confessed to the girls around him, and then he wanted to leave here with Xiao Jutang.

The mother in charge didn't stop him anymore, she just stood at the door, holding a voucher in her hand, and said to them with a smile on her face: "Mr. Liu, please put your fingerprint on this account. Send it to the house."

He froze for a moment, his face turned pale, and when he looked at Xiao Jutang, he found that the other party had a confident expression on his face that he had run out of money, so he could only awkwardly say to the manager's mother: "...Can I pay on credit first?"

The face of the mother in charge immediately changed, but she still forced a smile and said: "What is this, sir? We really can't get credit for our small business. Could it be that the family is still short of these small coins?"

He shook his head with a bitter face, and pleaded with his eyes: "Mom doesn't know something. If my elder brother knows that I'm here... I will definitely pay back in the future. Please forgive me."

The mother in charge looked at him with begging eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.But in the end, it was because he had been struggling in the entertainment field for many years, and he immediately came back to his senses, and he didn't care about the smiling face to greet people. He stared at him and snorted coldly through his nose: "Mr. Liu, our Linglongfang has no debts." rules."

Looking at the vicious guards who suddenly appeared in front of him, he immediately suppressed the thought of slipping away.He sighed and was about to press his hand in resignation, but he heard a rather familiar voice.

"Oh, how can Mom treat you like this?"

The mother in charge seemed to be in awe when she saw the person coming, and immediately turned her face back and said, "Why is Miss Ying here?"

It was Fang Ying who came.

Fang Ying didn't respond, she just stepped forward and put the voucher in her hand, then turned her head and smiled at him, "Young master, why are you so careless, why did you come to such a place without money?"

For some reason, whenever Fang Ying spoke, he felt very nervous.At this moment, she blushed even more inexplicably, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "No...it's not."

Fang Ying looked at him, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "That's all." Then she rolled her eyes and said to the mother in charge: "This young man is very close to me, today's account will be counted on me, mother, please forgive me." Let's do it."

The mother in charge seemed to be in awe of her, and after saying that she would listen to Miss Ying, she hurriedly dismissed the surrounding guards.Fang Ying glanced at her again, and she turned and left as if knowing.

He looked at Fang Ying, hesitated for a while before saying, "Thank you girl for saving the siege, this money...I will definitely pay it back."

Fang Ying raised the corners of her lips again, and said softly: "My lord, there is no need to be like this. Everything I said just now is from my heart."

He froze for a moment, his cheeks flushed instantly when he thought about it, and after a while he stammered, as if sighing, and as if asking: "Really...really..."

Fang Ying looked at him as if she felt very fresh, reached out and picked a strand of his hair, leaned closer and smiled slightly: "Naturally true."

Fang Ying got so close that her breath almost hit him in the face.He was a little dizzy from the steaming heat, and said in a daze, "Then...then can I be friends with Miss Fang?"

I don't know if it was his illusion, he felt the breath around Fang Ying's body was cold for a moment, but soon it became the warmth of spring breeze again.Fang Ying let go of his hair, touched his neck inadvertently, turned around and walked a few steps, and before he could make a sound, she looked back at him, brushed the hair that fell to her ears, and gently He laughed and said, "Master, it's really interesting. How can anyone be friends with a girl in the fun hall?"

The lantern wrapped in red gauze on the gate of the square emitted a soft and dim light, which fell into her deep pool-like eyes, but it seemed that there was not even a trace of warmth.

He opened his mouth, and before he could speak, Fang Ying turned around and entered the workshop without looking back at him again.
