Chapter 056 Painting
PS: Thanks to Feng Mo Xuri Children’s Shoes for the reward!
The inn is not small!
As soon as you enter, you will see the lobby on the first floor.
Judging from the appearance, this is already a place where ordinary people eat. Ordinary people eat and drink here, and ordinary people in the world are also here.
However, Yuelai Inn, which can be said to be the largest chain of inns in the world of martial arts, is obviously more than that.
Yue Yuan, who had just entered the inn with Lu Wushuang, saw the waiter leading several luxuriously dressed young men up to the second floor with fans. From that look, it was natural to deduce that the second floor must be the so-called private room.
of.
"..."
It’s really lively!
Pursing his lower lips, Yue Yuan withdrew his eyes from the figure who disappeared on the stairs. He glanced around casually and realized that the hall in front of him was really lively. Compared with the inn where he had stayed in the town before, it was simply...
Too strong to be based on reason.
It's just that it's too lively here and the business is too good.
Shaking his head and taking a few casual glances, Yue Yuan found that there were almost no seats in the hall, and all the seats were basically full of people, especially people from the Jianghu area carrying various weapons on their backs.
There are all kinds of weapons, such as large golden ring knives, ebony sticks, sharp swords and so on. Almost all kinds of weapons can be seen here.
It seems that this heroes conference has really great influence on the world.
But we can also see from it the reputation of Guo Jing and Huang Rong in the world.
"It's from the shopkeeper!"
"Give us a quieter place!"
Looking away, Yue Yuan walked up to the shopkeeper who was fiddling with the abacus and gave instructions.
The shopkeeper's body is quite round, as long as a rubber ball, and his neck is not visible at all. Even his small eyes have some hidden thoughts.
"Okay, two distinguished guests!"
Raising his head, the fat shopkeeper first glanced at Yue Yuan and Lu Wushuang. His eyes just casually glanced at the lame girl Lu Wushuang and turned a blind eye. In the eyes of the shopkeeper, just such a casual glance could make all the difference.
It was clear that the person in charge was this young Taoist priest wearing blue and white robes.
Especially since the other party was wearing a very luxurious Taoist robe... This Taoist priest was obviously a rich man.
Constantly analyzing the fortune of the Taoist priest in front of him, the fat shopkeeper quickly checked the account books around him, and then said: "Two guests, there is a private room on the third floor, what do you think..."
This is what I asked...
But it’s level!
Not only was he asking how the private room was, but he was also trying to find out if Yue Yuan had enough money.
"Ugh!"
"Since the environment is quiet, then this is the place!"
"In addition, give me the best meal in Yuelai Inn, and of course, wine!"
Yue Yuan looked at the fat shopkeeper in front of him blankly. He opened his right hand and rolled out a gold ingot the size of a baby's fist from his sleeve. He threw it in front of the shopkeeper and said, "Let the waiter lead the way!"
"Oh, okay!"
When the shopkeeper saw the gold ingot rolling in front of him, his eyes lit up, and his small eyes suddenly widened a lot. Then he took the gold ingot and turned to a waiter not far away and said: "
Xiaobao, take this Taoist priest and this girl to the private room on the third floor!"
"OK!"
"Please, two gentlemen!"
The waiter waved the rag on his shoulder and immediately bent forward, respectfully inviting Yue Yuan and Lu Wushuang to go upstairs.
"Let's go!"
He casually glanced at the glances all around him that were on him. Yue Yuan didn't pay attention at all, so he led Lu Wushuang and followed the waiter upstairs.
later.
Lu Wushuang turned around and scanned the gold ingots that Yue Yuan had just thrown there. He lowered his head and thought for a moment. He said to himself that when he helped Yue Yuan pack his clothes, he didn't find any gold ingots that the Taoist priest had. Some of them were just a pile.
Banknote!
Lu Wushuang, who didn't understand where Yue Yuan's gold ingot came from, could only follow him confused.
Lu Wushuang was not surprised as Lu Wushuang was not surprised as he had already experienced Yue Yuan's luxurious stay in an inn and his meals at the last inn.
On the other hand, Yue Yuan kept sighing in his heart at this time. Isn't it too shameless to take money from the shopkeeper to pay the bill? Besides, throwing the gold ingot directly may be a bit coquettish. At that time, he should have just paid the bill!
It just seems a bit embarrassing for Xiangshuai!
But by moving your wrists like this, you can be considered as reviewing the skills of the pirate commander, right?
Forget it, craftsmanship is the most important thing!
Touching his chin and thinking deeply, Yue Yuan thought like this.
As for the scene where Yue Yuan threw away the gold ingot just now, countless people in the hall saw it, but no Yue Yuan paid attention to it at all. On the contrary, Lu Wushuang looked a little embarrassed under so many eyes.
…
Soon, Yue Yuan and Lu Wushuang came to the third floor under the leadership of the waiter.
The environment on the third floor and the noise in the lobby are completely different scenes. There is no bustle here, but there is more leisure.
It would be a pleasure to take a seat by the window, drink wine and quietly watch the scenery of Xiangyang since nightfall.
"Huh?"
With a sound of surprise, Yue Yuan suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on the wall next to him.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Lu Wushuang, who was following behind, almost bumped into Yue Yuan's body. He also stopped and followed Yue Yuan's gaze to the wall. He saw countless calligraphy written with a brush on the wall, in wild cursive and official script.
There are different types of calligraphy.
It is a pity that Lu Wushuang is almost illiterate. She is not as knowledgeable as her cousin Cheng Ying, and she has no idea about the writing on the wall.
On the other hand, the waiter on the side saw this and proudly introduced Yue Yuan and Lu Wushuang: "The people who wrote on the walls were the calligraphy treasures left by talented people of all kinds! Among them, layman Yi An and layman Youan are the most important.
famous!"
Jushi Yi An?
Youan layman?
Lu Wushuang was confused.
However, Yue Yuan understood who these two people were. The lay scholar Yi An was the poetess Li Qingzhao, and the other lay layman You'an was the second person who could be said to be both civilized and military in the entire history of ancient China - Xin Qiji.
The first person is Li Taibai, who has superb swordsmanship and is known as the second best swordsman in the world. He is also called the Immortal of Poetry.
And Xin Qiji is also not bad!
If Xin Qiji hadn't been so unlucky, and he himself was the kind of person who was deeply influenced by Confucianism, it is estimated that things would never have developed like that.
sharp!
In this regard, Yue Yuan had to admire that in this era, Xin Qiji was indeed a fierce man. At certain moments, he felt that Xin Qiji was like Guo Jing, whose martial arts was already one of the five unique skills.
He passed the first prize in quality examination.
It can be said that throughout ancient Chinese history, these two are the only extraordinary figures who have high achievements in poetry and equally high personal martial arts.
Unfortunately, neither of them got the results they wanted, and both died of depression and serious illness.
That's all.
Yue Yuan had to admit that Yuelai Inn did have a good reputation.
But what attracted Yue Yuan the most was not the calligraphy left by famous people on the wall, but a huge painting on the north wall next to it.
It is called huge because the painting in front of me takes up almost half of the wall.
The painting is very simple. It is a young man wearing white clothes. He is wearing a long sword on his waist. He is standing there quietly. There are no other embellishments around him, only the slightest trace of it.
It looks like a pen and ink depiction of white clouds.
Other than that, there are no words on the painting, and no one left their name. It’s just such a bare painting.
Although the portraits of the ancients are very abstract, focusing on the inner rather than the superficial, it seems that the young man in the painting is a little fat, but this is not the point. The important point is that the people in the painting give people a unique sense of fluttering desire.
Feeling like an immortal.
After looking at it for a long time, Yue Yuan pointed to the portrait and asked, "Xiao Er, is the person in this portrait the poet Li Taibai?"
Poet Li Taibai?
This time, Lu Wushuang knew who it was.
"Well……"
"I'm not sure about this. After I started doing things here, this painting has been kept here!"
Seeing that the waiter didn't know, Yue Yuan didn't ask any more, but asked the waiter to take him and Lu Wushuang into the private room he wanted. Before entering the private room, Yue Yuan still turned around and glanced at the wall.
portrait.
