Qinglian was a little confused. She couldn't understand the situation. How could it become like this? Were the two of them flirting? Just now... Well, she couldn't turn her head around.
Lan Ning sneered and said: "I also wrote a poem. Listen, a piece of meat fell into the pond, and he covered his head with a cluck. It turned out to be a toad... cluck." Lan Ning couldn't help but smile. stand up.
It's meat again, and it's a toad pointing at it, so it's obviously Fu Xie. Lan Ning stopped laughing and was about to say the last sentence: "Uh..."
Xie Fu looked at Lan Ning and took it without hesitation, "I want to eat swan meat." After reading it, he burst out laughing.
Lan Ning was stunned and embarrassed. She originally wanted to laugh at him, but in the end he took advantage of him and said angrily: "Do you still want to come up?"
Xie Fu raised his hand and said with a smile: "Ms. Lan Ning, please recite." This recitation can also be said to be a request for derogation.
Lan Ning then smiled and said: "I washed it again and again and it's still ugly."
Xie Fu burst out laughing, cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Lan Ning, please let me, an ugly man, go home." This is an apology and a punishment. It's time to go back.
Lan Ning smiled slightly and said: "It's a beautiful idea, just stay in the water."
Qinglian said to Lan Ning: "Ms. Lan Ning, it's such a hot day and the sun is so fierce, let's let Dumb come up."
Lan Ning looked at Xie Fu, chuckled and said: "Qinglian is begging you, come up."
Xie Fu said, "Thank you, Mrs. Lan Ning." and approached the pool.
Seeing that he deliberately avoided lotus leaves and lotus flowers, Lan Ning thought to himself that he was a man who cared about things. He said deliberately: "Bring me that lotus flower."
Xie Fu shook his head: "It will be more beautiful in the water and bloom longer."
"But it will wither eventually."
Xie Fu smiled: "There are joys and sorrows when flowers bloom and fall, but flowers and people are still on the same page."
Lan Ning suddenly fell into deep thought.
When Mr. Xie landed on the shore, his upper body was soaked with mucus, his lower body was covered in mud, and his hair stuck to his face. He was in a very miserable state.
Lan Ning came back to her senses and looked at Xie Fu. She originally liked cleanliness, but for some reason she didn't get tired of seeing this sloppy man.
Xie Fu held his shoes in one hand and the hem of his clothes in the other. He leaned slightly towards Lan Ning and saluted: "Ms. Lan Ning, I'll take my leave now."
Although he is in a state of utter disarray, he still retains his elegance.
Mrs. Lan Ning smiled and nodded, looking farewell to the two of them.
After a while, Juaner came back and asked: "Where is the bad thing?"
Lan Ning smiled slightly: "Let's go."
Juan'er said angrily: "He should have been driven away a long time ago and left here to taint people's eyes and ears."
Lan Ning's eyes were far-reaching, looking at the calm water. Compared with the liveliness just now, it was lifeless at this moment. He said softly: "Why do I feel so familiar with him?"
Juaner was stunned and said: "Who?" She quickly responded, "Miss, you can't be talking about that dumb guy!"
Lan Ning did not answer directly and murmured: "It's weird."
Juan'er said with an exaggerated expression: "Miss, you have gone crazy again. Don't you hate the white men in the market?"
Lan Ning asked in response: "Is he a commoner? At any rate, he has a Yangzhou talent on his head. It is almost certain that he is the one who won the first prize of lantern riddles on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month."
Juaner asked: "Miss, is this the case that he broke into your bedroom?"
Lan Ning asked displeasedly: "Am I so stingy?"
Juaner secretly thought to herself, Miss, you are not only stingy, but you also hold a grudge. She also knew that Miss did everything based on her preference, so she didn't say anything.
"I want to eat swan meat..." Lan Ning murmured and laughed again: "I feel much better."
Juaner suddenly remembered the business: "By the way, Mr. Lu, Mr. Zhu and others heard that someone is causing trouble for you, so they brought people to protect you."
"Oh." Lan Ning responded lightly.
"There's a fight outside, miss, do you want to stop it?"
"What does it have to do with me? I didn't ask them to come."
On this day, a big event happened on the street outside Huiyingyuan. Two gangs of young men started fighting in the street. The scene was very large.
In the end, they started calling each other and found that they both knew each other, so they quickly stopped.
The complicated relationship is unclear. It is said that the leader of another gang of young men is called Yangzhou Talent.
On this day, medical clinics across the city were also overcrowded.
…
In Tantai Wenwang's study, Xie Fu picked up the waste papers used by Tantai Wenwang one by one.
Tantai Wen saw it and said, "Thank you, Fu, I can just let my servants take care of this thing."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "These papers can still be used."
Tantai Wenwang asked curiously: "These are all used, why would you use them if you don't throw them away?"
Xie Fu explained: "These blank spaces can be cut out and used for writing."
Tantai Wenwang said: "If you want to use paper, just use it directly. Why bother?"
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Paper is expensive. The lady bought these papers with money. It is natural for the young master to use them. If I use them, it will be stolen."
Tantai Wenwang groaned: "Why are we so clearly divided? I've already told you, my family is your family, and my sister is your sister."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Although it is true, Xie Fu still needs to have this self-consciousness."
Tantai Wen Wanghu asked: "Did that bitch Tantai Heqing say something unpleasant to you?"
"No."
Tantai Wenwang said: "I will go to her now to ask her clearly about treating my brother like this."
Xie Fu quickly stopped him: "Really not."
Tantai Wenwang didn't believe it, and concluded that Tantai Heqing must have said something unpleasant to Xie Fu.
Xie Fu said: "Sir, I am used to being thrifty."
Then he told Tantai Wenwang that when he was at home, using paper was a luxury.
When he was young, Xie Fu wanted to write but had no paper, so he went to various brothels, picked up some waste paper thrown away from the brothels, and went home to cut out the blank spaces and use them.
After use, bleach and dry it again before using it until it can no longer be used.
Tantai Wenwang was immediately moved by Xie Fu's academic spirit, and immediately promised that my wife would be your wife.
Xie Fu returned to the yard and spread out the waste papers one by one.
Most of the paper is just a poem, with a lot of white space, some have half a picture, and some have articles written on it.
No matter what he writes or draws, Xie Fu takes a knife and cuts out the parts that have been stained with ink, leaving as much blank space on the paper as possible.
Then cut a piece of paper of similar size from another piece of paper, use rice porridge water, and glue the gaps together like sewing clothes.
In this way, it becomes a completely blank piece of paper. Of course, the traces of patching at the joints can still be clearly seen, just like the difference between complete clothes and patched clothes can be seen at a glance.
Xie Fu used this usual operation of sticking and patching, and he was able to make out more than a dozen blank pieces of paper from this pile of waste paper.
Looking at these finished products, Xie Fu couldn't help but smile. He was afraid that he would be the first to patch the paper. He took the paper to the yard to dry, and when the porridge water dried, the patchwork was firm.
