Before dawn, You Qing and Bai Li got up early, ate their breakfast, and got ready to go out. The two of them didn't bring much stuff, only seven or eight scrolls of scrolls, which were tied up with sackcloth and let Bai Li grab it and carry it on his shoulders.
You Qing usually recites it by himself, and is not used to calling people, so he is not used to it, but Bai Lifei said that this is what he should do as a book boy, but he had to go with him. contend.
After Bai Li grabbed the scroll, he smiled and walked next to You Qing, talking all the way. You Qing saw him chattering and blushing, and when he thought back to the way he squatted in his yard the day before and couldn't say a single sentence, he couldn't help feeling greatly, and said with a smile: "I still think you can't speak, so you so to speak."
Bai Li has been with him for so many days, the confusion when he first met him has long since disappeared, and he doesn't care about his joking remarks. Speak! I'm not dumb!"
"Then why didn't you say half a sentence when I first saw you?"
"..." Bai Li was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his eyes and smiled, "I don't know, I don't remember."
You Qing looked at him and smiled, then pointed to the stream next to him: "If you're thirsty, go drink some water."
Bai Li had been talking for a long time, and his mouth was indeed dry. With a grin, he ran over and squatted by the stream to take a few sips of water. After drinking, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and turned back and shouted, "Aqing, do you want to drink it? ?"
"I'm not thirsty." You Qing walked over and lifted the hem of his long gown, "Why don't you be careful, it's all wet."
"Oh!" Bai Li obediently took two steps back and twisted the hem of his clothes.
The two soon arrived in town and went straight to a clothing store on the corner of the street. Although You Qing rarely buys new clothes, he always comes here every time he buys new clothes, because the clothes here are durable, simple in style and inexpensive.
He didn't come many times, but because of his good looks and extraordinary temperament, he was a well-known handsome scholar in this area, so the boss was very impressed with him, and now that he has been selected as a juren again, the boss greeted him even more. It's hot and tight.
"I'm here to buy clothes for this brother of mine today." You Qing didn't like greetings, she just smiled politely, and only when she turned to look at Bai Li did a few traces of genuine smile come to her eyes.
Bai Li heard him call himself a brother, although he felt a little regretful, but compared to the book boy, he was a lot closer. He squinted and smiled, and walked up to the boss and raised his arms.
The boss was stunned by his claws and claws, and smiled calmly: "Little brother, what are you doing?"
"Measure the size!" Bai Li blinked at him.
"What is the use of measuring the size?" You Qing's mouth curled up, pressing down his arms, "Just stand up."
The boss smiled and took a tape measure and roughly gestured on him, and asked, "What style do you want, little brother?"
Bai Li smiled at him: "It's the same as Ah Qing!"
Hearing his tone, the boss knew that the two of them were very close. He couldn't help being a little surprised. He looked at You Qing subconsciously, turned around and took two simple and elegant moon-white gowns.
Bai Li looked at You Qing, saw him nodding slightly, quickly took off his clothes excitedly, picked up a new one and put it on his body, turned around and asked, "Ah Qing, do you look good?"
The corner of the boss's mouth twitched: What else is there to look at...
You Qing nodded: "Not bad."
Bai Li looked happy, took off his clothes quickly, grabbed another one and put it on: "What about this one? Does it look good?"
The corner of the boss's mouth twitched wildly: This is a clothes shop for ordinary people, not for dignitaries. The picture is for a durable one. Why do you care about whether it looks good or not
You Qing is very patient, although wearing the old clothes twice is not much different from the previous clothes, but after all, the person wearing the clothes looks good, so he nodded again: "En."
Bai Li leaned into his ear and whispered, "Aqing, how much silver do you have on your body, is it enough to buy two?"
The whirring hot air came from the ear, and the thread went around and drilled into the cochlea, mixed with the fragrance of the surrounding air, and You Qing was inexplicably swayed, stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look at him.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Bai Li blinked his eyes and looked at him, and called out in doubt, "Ah Qing?"
You Qing quickly returned to her senses: "Huh?"
Bai Li turned his head to look at the boss arranging the clothes hanging on the wall over there. He didn't pay attention to this side, so he raised his hand and twitched his fingers in front of You Qing, lowering his voice a bit: "Is it enough?"
You Qing couldn't help laughing at his small movements, nodded and took out his purse from his sleeve and put it in his hand: "Don't worry, it's enough."
After buying two long gowns and having everything inside and out, Bai Li felt that You Qing was very kind to him, and he was very happy, but when he thought about going to the capital, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Think of some way.
When he lived with You Qing on weekdays, he was good at talking and smiling, but when he encountered this kind of thing about the future of the two, he returned to the stupid appearance when he first met, walking with his mind, and almost let the stone give him stumble.
You Qingyan quickly grabbed him and felt that his stupid problem had started again without warning. He couldn't help feeling a little pity. Seeing that there were stone steps on the side of the road, he raised his hand to touch his head, and said warmly: "Okay, don't go, just rest here."
Bai Li quickly took off the package on his back, and You Qing and You Qing took out the scroll and put it on the ground. While unfolding the picture scroll, he comforted himself: it will be a few months later for the horizontal and vertical exams, and the palace exam will be a while later, so he can slowly think about it.
After thinking about it like this, I felt better, and I focused on the painting. I glanced at random, and my eyeballs almost fell in shock: "Huh?!"
"Huh?" You Qing followed his line of sight, smiled, sat down on the stone steps behind him, and turned the painting inward, "This is a recent painting."
Bai Li squatted down slowly, staring at the portrait without blinking, with a look of surprise and joy on his face, even his breathing almost stopped.
In the painting, a mountain range is outlined with a few brushstrokes. The shape is exactly the smoke mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a snow-white silver fox. On the top of his head, he turned his head slightly, and his slanted eyes seemed to be looking up at the sky.
The fox in this painting is Bai Li. Although it is a nine-tailed fox, in the eyes of mortals, only one fox tail can be seen. At that time, he covered his head with the fox tail not to avoid the rain, but to wait for the three known thunderbolts to hit.
He was obviously very afraid, but he didn't dare to go against the will of God, so he could only wait there. Although he didn't understand why he had to suffer the calamity, in front of the gods, how could he have the right to speak
Thinking about the injustice, Bai Li felt a little resentful in his heart, but seeing You Qing drew himself vividly, even though he was embarrassed, he couldn't help but be full of joy, and the smile in his eyes was really bright.
You Qing usually likes to paint things he likes when he sees them, so each of his paintings is very expressive. Looking at his miserable appearance in the painting, Bai Li couldn't help laughing "puchi".
You Qing looked at the look on his face, and was a little speechless: "This little fox is in the rain, and it looks so pitiful, it's better for you to smile like this."
Bai Li bit his lip to stop the smile: "Who made him so embarrassed, I just want to laugh."
"You laugh at it for being embarrassed, and I'm afraid it will laugh at you for not being smarter than it."
"Why am I not as smart as him?" Bai Li retorted after blurt, and then he was stunned, this is not the same person, what's the comparison... Thinking of this, he buried his head and laughed again.
"It also knows how to put its tail on its head, so it's very clever." You Qing patted on the stone steps next to him, "If there is a place to sit, you don't want to sit. If you have to squat, you're not happy if you say you're stupid."
Bai Li moved his butt in place: "I just like to squat!"
You Qing was used to his liking for a long time, so he didn't say anything more, just smiled gently, looked at the portrait for a while, and said, "This fox runs very fast, and it can be seen in the blink of an eye. gone."
Bai Li rolled his eyes and looked up at the sky: that was not running, that was to escape the catastrophe and let the elders hide their figure and carry it back secretly, hey...
"This painting is so beautiful!" Suddenly a soft voice came into my ears.
Bai Li looked up and saw that it was a well-dressed girl, next to a maid with a double bun, and a carriage parked behind, presumably a lady from a rich family, and suddenly he was shocked: "Do you want to buy a painting? ?"
The girl raised her eyelashes and looked at him, then shifted her gaze to You Qing, squatted down and looked at the portrait to cover her blushing face, feeling a little annoyed: why are they both so handsome ? Really annoying!
Bai Li looked at him suspiciously: "Girl, do you want to buy a painting? Which one do you like?"
The girl raised her head and glanced again, bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before opening her mouth: "You... Which one is Young Master You?"
"Xiaosheng is." You Qing nodded slightly towards him and smiled, "Which painting did the girl like?"
As soon as the girl heard his words, she looked at him with a burning look in her eyes: "So you are Young Master You!"
You Qing was a little sluggish in responding to her clear-eyed gaze, but replied with a faint smile, "Yes."
The girl even more blatantly began to look at You Qing. She glanced at the picture scroll, looked at it again, and turned it again.
Bai Li saw that this girl did not answer for a long time when he asked something, and his eyes were only on You Qing, and his heart suddenly became depressed. Although he knew that there were many young girls who admired You Qing, he couldn't help but feel frustrated when he saw it with his own eyes.
After thinking for a long time, Bai Li couldn't remember who this girl was from. He thought that he would not have anything to do with You Qing in the future.
wrong! Some things are different! He had never come out with You Qing to buy clothes before, let alone sitting on the roadside with him selling calligraphy and painting. No wonder when You Qing said that he wanted to sell calligraphy and painting to save money, he felt that things happened too quickly and suddenly, it turned out to be early.
Originally, You Qing was going to sell calligraphy and painting a few days later, but now, because he wanted to buy clothes for him, he made it a few days earlier. I hadn't seen this girl before, but I met her this time, so I can't guarantee what happened next!
Thinking of this, Bai Li suddenly became anxious. He had witnessed You Qing getting married again and again, so he automatically developed hostility towards any woman who tried to approach You Qing, and he couldn't help but look at this girl. With some precautions, she wished she could quickly buy it and leave.
Although You Qing was slow to respond to the woman's thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy after being watched for so long, and frowned slightly: "Does the girl like you?"
People like you... Bai Li sniffed and buried his head in the mud.
The girl looked at it for a long time, then Qianqiansu raised her hand: "I like this one."
Bai Li looked up, and suddenly bounced off the ground: "No way!"
