Chapter 77.
Jin Mingjun looked at Sanhua for a moment and shook his head, “This cat is so ugly.”
The cat rolled its eyes, its eyes rolled up and not down, so it looked at Jin Mingjun with two thin white eyes.
Exasperated, Jin Mingjun secretly itched his hand and said unhappily, “Hey! You spent fifty taels of silver to buy snake gall bladder just to give it food? This ugly cat, five coins of silver could have bought several litters.”
The man hugged Three Flowers tightly and defended, “Although it is not human, it is my only confidant in this world. Not to mention, even this time was bitten by the snake, but also in order to save my sake. Just now with the girl said willing to pay fifty taels of silver, because I only have fifty taels of silver, or else it is five hundred taels, five thousand taels, as long as you can save its life, is also willing to willingly.”
Mo Qi listened and praised: “It was bitten by the snake in order to save you? In that case, it is also a righteous beast, even if I were to change, I would have to spend all my money to save him.”
The man nodded and said: “Gold and white jewelry to buy songs and smiles, a drunken light king. The sea of virtuous heroes of the green clouds of guests, in the heart with the gentleman Mo Yi!”
Mo Qi cultural background is not as good as Yin Liu, listened to half-knowledge, puzzled: “This is …… good words, right?”
Ye Guhong laughed: “This brother read a poem by Li Taibai, meaning, money is a fart, power is a fart, listen to the song and drink is serious, although there are a lot of good men in the world, I see you the most eye-catching!”
Mo Qi rejoiced, smiled broadly and said: “I see this brother is also very eye-catching, you see him carrying a cat in his arms, how interesting? I wouldn’t think of putting a monkey in his arms to play, only this point, I am far inferior to him. Brother, in my Wudang Mo Qi Mo Sheng Gu, I would like to teach your name!”
The man was surprised and said, “Is it actually the Wudang Mo Qi warrior in person? Aiya, I’m sorry for the disrespect. In my surname Tang, a single name a dove word, this is the Huiji Shan Yin people, because of the offense of the Yuan court, had to leave their homes, fleeing in the jianghu. But I don’t know how to address these few friends?”
Yin six and other people heard him say “offend the yuan court”, also do not dare to underestimate, each passed the name.
Tang Gong saw that they were all sons and daughters of the righteous sects, so he quickly put the fat cat back into his arms and said: “Disrespectful, disrespectful, I didn’t expect that today I would be so fortunate as to be able to get to know all the famous warriors of Wudang and Emei, and I am also grateful to all of you for helping me to save Ah Huahua! This is exactly the invitation is not as good as chance encounter, Tang mou want to sit a small east, and you all drink and talk about happy, I do not know can have this blessing?”
Jin Mingjun stared at him and said, “Hey, didn’t you just say you only have fifty taels of silver?”
Tang Gong froze, nodded and said, “Not bad, not a penny more, not a penny less.”
Jin Mingjun hemmed and hawed and laughed, “This fifty taels of yours, wasn’t it used to buy snake gall bladders with me? Now that the snake gall bladder has been given to you, the silver will have to be given to me, and the silver has been given to me, so what are you going to buy us a drink?”
Ye Guhong laughed and was about to say something, but Tang Gong laughed and said confidently, “It’s not enough to pay for a drink.”
Said to the sleeve a touch, touch a roll of paper, pull out a unfolded, two feet wide, four feet long, is a standard four feet of whole paper.
To Mo Qi said: “Mo Qi warrior stout and tall, please take this paper for me. ”
Mo Qi did not know why, hands cupped the upper end of the paper raised, the paper waterfall straight down,.
Tang Gong and from the sleeve to touch out a few half-bald brush, a few pieces of dry pigment, take Fangcai Hu Da Niu with the rest of the wine, the pigment open, a piece of all hold in the left hand, the right hand pen, dipped in pigment, look at the paper will be painted.
Seeing his right hand a brush, each in the left hand dipped in different colors, in the five fingers between the rapid flow, here painted a stroke, there painted a stroke, not long, a clump of peonies in full bloom, a chubby three-flower sitting, raised a palm, squinting eyes, is spitting out his tongue to wash his face, the end of the vivid, the shape of God are sufficient!
After Tang Gong had finished his drawing, he took a pen and moistened his tongue, and then wrote a poem next to it.
“The civet is too affectionate, and the cicada holds its lips a little bit. The peony frame is warm and sleeps in the spring day, the mint fragrance is thick and drunken in the dawn. He washes his face frequently in the palm of his hand and calls himself by name under the window. The fish in the stream are not spared to be bought in the morning, winning the peace of the night in the bookstore.”
Yin Liu read and praised, “Good poem, good words! The end is good!”
Tang Gong finished his book, inscribed his name and date, put away his pen, washed his hands of the residual wine, took back the painting and laughed: “Look at Tang Mou to get wine and food!”
Said the face full of confidence, angrily into the hotel, called: “small brother, please your proprietor to come, I have a pile of business with him to talk about.”
The child saw his look, dare not underestimate, and hastily invited his own master to appear.
Tang Gong showed the painting to him and said smilingly, “Master, I want to entertain my friends, but unfortunately I am short of money, so I want to use this pair of peony pictures of the cat to exchange for a banquet, may I make it possible?”
The proprietor took a closer look, shook his head and laughed, “Not to mention that your cat is so fat that it is hard to catch even a mouse, do you know the saying that ‘cats are poor and dogs are rich’? I’m open for business here, and I’m looking for guests from all over the world and wealth from all over the world, so if I buy your cat painting, do I think I’m doing too good of a business? Go, go, no exchange, no exchange.”
Said reached out his hand and pushed Tang Gong out.
The crowd saw him dashing and confident and stumbled out of the wolf, they can not help but look dumbfounded.
Tang Gong face red, coughing, forced to pretend to be pointless: “Just, this shopkeeper does not know the goods, we change a …….”
Ye Guhong laughed, reached out and took the painting, laughingly said: “Tang brother fallacious, these merchants only know will be this Tuli, can have a few elegant bones around? Your poems and paintings are very elegant, as the saying goes, the goods are sold to recognize the family, should be sold to my little brother this kind of elegant man. I see you this painting is very good, at least worth fifty silver, gold sister …….”
Jin Mingjun rare at the younger brother glared: “Brother, he bought snake gall bladder of fifty taels has not given me, upside down we send out another fifty taels to go? They say that the master will not calculate the accounts, you can really master’s own disciple!”
Said suddenly thought of a matter, looked around, a stomped his foot and said: “Oops, that hunter selling five taels of snake, you want to ten taels to buy, said let him take us to catch the snake of the place, just followed this guy to save the fat cat, the two hunters but took the opportunity to slip away.”
Tang Gong quickly said: “they slipped also may not be, Tang Mou know where there is this kind of snake, to be eaten after the wine, leading you to is.”
Said from the pocket took out a fifty taels of silver, in front of Jin Mingjun a shake, and retracted, smiled: “Well, now the money and goods, we go to drink, the ingot of silver to eat and drink all, will be considered to rest.”
Jin Mingjun unexpectedly said, “Huh, you’re a poor generous person, no wonder my senior brother sees you in his eyes.”
Next to Su Qingmeng tugged her, whispered: “Sister, you don’t want to be so harassed, this Mr. Tang is really elegant, you open your mouth silver closed mouth money, but it’s insulting people’s elegance.”
Jin Mingjun in addition to the master teacher, heaven and earth is not afraid, immediately made fun of: “ah yo, people write your name on the clothes, is elegant, this if stabbed in the flesh, is not Li Taibai reborn, Su Dongpo reincarnation?”
Su Qing Meng’s face flushed red and was about to reprimand, when she heard Tang Gong said, “Huh, how do you know I stabbed on the flesh?”
He said, pulling up his sleeve, revealing a thin and sturdy arm, on which there were indeed two lines of tattoos, precisely the sentence: drunkenly unaware of the sky in the water, full of dreaming and pressing the star river!
Su Qingmeng let out a cry, her cheeks burning like fire.
Only to hear Tang Gong said: “This poem, but last year when passing through Longyang County, in the Dongting Lake drunken made.”
He then chanted, “The west wind blew the old Dongting waves, and Xiangjun’s gray hair was much whiter in one night. After drunkenness, I don’t know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of dreams pressing the star river.”
And laughed: “Especially the last two sentences, is really Tang Mou life proud of the work, Tang Mou thick face, boasts that can be comparable to the ancients, haha, so a certain drunken whim, stabbed in the arm above.”
Said the eyes turn to, suddenly found Su Qingmeng a cold pretty face, almost into a red cloth, eyes are hidden tears, reacted violently, hastily cupped fists and said: “but is unintentionally offended Su warrior’s name, rude, rude.”
Su Qingmeng just listened to him read to ‘one night Xiangjun white hair more’, suddenly remembered that since he joined Emei, dedicated to learning the art, unknowingly counting, already twenty-seven years old.
In the past days, remembered to miss the age of marriage, do not feel how, just want a few more years, the big deal is shaved to do nuns to go, but today is suddenly sad up, can not say what is difficult, just full of hard, a moment is actually obsessed.
Until Tang Gong apologized to her, only then realized that out of order, busy tears a wipe, laughed: “Mr. Tang this poem is really good, the west wind blowing the old dongting wave, so that the daughter can not help but give birth to a lot of feelings, just just, and drink to go.”
At the same time the people looked for a tavern, Tang Gong straight to the big silver “TO” thrown on the counter, ordered: “the most Chen’s wine, the best dishes, the freshest fruits, the rarest candied fruit, just come up!”
This kind of boldness, is to see the crowd good feeling doubled.
And into the seat, the shopkeeper sent all kinds of dried fruits, tea and honey drinks, Mo Qi while eating and drinking, while asking about how Tang Gong was offended by the Yuan court.
Tang Gong heard, eyes red, long sigh: “This matter to say, still feel righteous indignation! Tang mou hometown near, is the Song dynasty after the south, successive emperors and concubines of the mausoleum, a few years ago, the Yuan court sent a cadre of demonic monks, explored the location of the mausoleum, the treasures of which are stolen, the emperor and queen corpses, openings to seize the jade, disemboweled to take the beads, the white bones discarded haphazardly in the wilderness.”
“My father heard, grief and indignation, so about the local heroes, night break into the mausoleum, recapture many bones, buried elsewhere.”
“Originally, this matter to this end, but unexpectedly a group of demon monks, go and come back, to collect the emperor and queen’s bones, in Lin’an Palace to build a white tower to suppress. See the bones do not exist, suddenly furious, check to my head, want us to account for the re-burial place, my father just fierce, led us with the same crowd of demon monks to death, hate those demon monks, do not know where to invite a few powerful masters, a fight, my father and a group of aspiring to die in battle.”
Said here, Tang Gong double tears long flow, his arms pulled out the fat cat, holding slowly stroking, pathos: “Tang life, eat opponents a sword split into the moat, luckily was washed to the shore by the waves, but my family A flower came to follow the taste, tongue will lick me awake, and go to the people to steal the dried fish in my stomach, which barely struggled to life, do not dare to stay in his hometown, this is the exile in the rivers and lakes, drifter So far ……”
After saying a few words, all the people are showing admiration, Yin Liu clasped his fists and said: “I did not expect that this is the reason, brother Tang and honored Weng, and even the rest of the many heroes, are all righteous people also! I only hate that I didn’t know earlier, or else I and other Wudang disciples would have gone to help.”
Mo Qi murmured, “I saw that Brother Tang was thin and weak, I thought he was a scholar, but I didn’t think that he was also a practitioner, no wonder you are walking very lightly.”
Yin Liu suddenly slapped his leg and shouted, “Ah also! I went to the south a few years ago, I heard someone mention a name, called ‘six idiots swordsman’ Tang Six Idiots, could it be brother Tang?”
Tang Gong revealed an unexpected look, nodded and said, “I don’t want to think that this trivial reputation has reached the ears of Wudang Yin Sixth Swordsman.”
Jin Mingjun curiously said, “How is it called Six Idiots?”
Tang Gong smiled faintly, “I love to raise orchids and cats, paint and write, practice sword and drink, so people say that I am orchid-obsessed, cat-obsessed, painting-obsessed, book-obsessed, sword-obsessed, and wine-obsessed.”
Ye Guhong laughed, “No wonder you can write such great lines as ‘I don’t know the sky is in the water when I’m drunk’.”
Su Qingmeng was originally mesmerized by what she heard, but now that she thought of the latter sentence, her face suddenly reddened again.
Packing up the bones for another burial for the Southern Song Emperor’s tomb was a righteous act by Tang Gong’s father, Tang Yu, and Lin Jingxi and others decades ago.
Because of the plot needs, changed the point of time, even Tang Gong is also involved in this, this family words, do not have to look deeper.
