Gu Heng looked at Lu Manman carefully. She didn't come here to sell pictures and texts, so why did she get involved in these two books? Could it be that these two books were also taught to her by the master behind her?
Lu Manman was not afraid of Gu Heng's gaze. She looked at the shopkeeper and saw that the shopkeeper was looking at her with confusion and suspicion. She smiled. The shopkeeper of this bookstore was quite good. He obviously looked down on a little girl like her.
But he could still treat her with humility and courtesy. Based on this, she believed that Gu Heng's recommendation might really allow her to cooperate with this bookstore: "Does the shopkeeper have paper and pen?"
"Of course there is paper and pen." The shopkeeper became more and more confused about Lu Manman's behavior. Could she really be here to cause trouble? His bookstore is the largest bookstore in the county, how could there be no paper and pen?
"The pen and paper I mentioned can be used immediately." Since Lu Manman thought that he could cooperate with this bookstore, he was not going to delay: "I think Gu Heng should also visit the bookstore. The books I want to buy are here.
No, I’m bored, I want to write and draw by myself to pass the time.”
"Girl, you want to write your own paintings?"
"Yes." Lu Manman looked directly into the shopkeeper's eyes and said.
The shopkeeper was stunned, and then ordered someone to prepare pen and paper. Although he wanted to see Lu Manman's drawings, he didn't show it. He only looked at Gu Heng, caring about his studies and started chatting with him about copying books.
matter.
Lu Manman visually measured the distance between her and Gu Heng. She actually hoped that the distance between them could be closer, but business was important and she would endure the little pain for now. She walked straight to the table and chair nearby and sat down.
After I finished it, I spread out the paper that the boy brought me.
Gu Qin was extremely surprised when Lu Manman spoke, but she didn't understand and couldn't refute Lu Manman's face without permission. She just stood aside quietly, but she couldn't help but feel anxious in her heart.
Lu Manman looked like he had a plan, but Lu Manman had never been to a private school since he was a child. Now he was drawing with pen and paper. If he wasted it... that would be money.
She had just spent three taels of silver, did she have to pay more? Gu Qin felt a pain in her body, but she was still enduring it.
Lu Manman didn't look at Gu Qin, so she naturally didn't know Gu Qin's anxiety. She took the pen, thought briefly, and then began to draw an outline on the paper of a sickly beauty digging a hole under a dead tree with a hoe.
, and there is a bamboo basket at her feet, which is filled with flowers: "The flowers have faded and the flowers are flying all over the sky. Who can pity the red and fragrant flowers? The gossamer soft ties flutter in the spring pavilion, and the fallen catkins lightly touch the embroidered curtains."
.The daughter in the boudoir cherishes the twilight of spring, full of melancholy and unable to find relief... In the early spring, all the beauties grow old, and the flowers fall and people die without knowing it."
After Lu Manman finished writing "The Burial of Flowers" by Lin Daiyu, which was nearly 500 words long, her wrists felt a little sore. She looked at her paintings, which were still at the same level as before. She was still very satisfied, but she didn't know that they...
…
Lu Manman looked at the shopkeeper. When she was painting just now, she deliberately read "The Burial of Flowers" loudly. She thought that if she failed to attract the shopkeeper, she would call Gu Heng over to comment, but...
She was worrying too much.
Both Gu Heng and the shopkeeper were standing beside her at the moment, looking at her paintings. Especially the look on the shopkeeper's face, it was clear at a glance that he was very satisfied with her paintings. Seeing this, Lu Manman felt more and more confident.
It was enough: "Gu Heng, actually if I have the chance, I really want to tell you the story of Dream of Red Mansions. Don't look at the overall situation, it is about love, love, love, but the deep meaning behind love, and everything involved in it."
The personality of each character and the strengths of each character are as if they are alive, which is really fascinating and empathetic."
Gu Heng looked at Lu Manman, and the shock in his eyes was better than that of the shopkeeper. After all, he had seen the poems and paintings written by Lu Manman: "If you are willing to talk about it, I am naturally willing to listen."
After finishing his words, Gu Heng frowned in confusion. Why did he say such a thing? He relaxed his vigilance towards Lu Manman.
"Girl, can you talk to me carefully now, I want to hear it too." The shopkeeper looked at Lu Manman's paintings, and then carefully read "The Burial of Flowers" inside, and felt that if he didn't listen, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Lu Manman looked at the shopkeeper, and saw that the shopkeeper was sitting opposite her, and the look in her eyes was obviously much more respectful than before. She twitched the corners of her lips: "It's not impossible to say something first, but...it's almost noon.
It's over, I haven't eaten yet, after Gu Heng finishes the work, we have to go to eat first."
"Girl, we haven't eaten either." The shopkeeper quickly looked at the boy and said, "Hurry up to Yunlailou and ask for some food and wine to be delivered. I want to entertain distinguished guests today."
"Distinguished guests, banquet?" Lu Manman pointed to herself and looked at the shopkeeper: "Are you going to treat me to dinner?"
"I have to treat the girl to dinner."
"Can……"
"Gu Heng, we have been friends for many years. Hurry up and help me persuade the girl to stay. My aunt also wants to stay. You must let me fulfill my friendship as a landlord." The shopkeeper turned to look at Gu Heng,
He had already said so. If Gu Heng didn't help him keep the girl who came with him, he would be in trouble.
Gu Heng opened his mouth and looked at the shopkeeper in front of him. The shopkeeper also talked about their friendship for many years, but the shopkeeper had not invited him to dinner, let alone brought his mother with him. Now...
Seeing Gu Heng looking over, Lu Manman pretended to be reserved for a while, then looked at Gu Qin: "Okay, hurry up, don't let my aunt starve."
"Hey, okay." The shopkeeper nodded and stood up to help Lu Manman pour tea.
Gu Qin suspected that she was dreaming. It was not the first time for her to come to Zhiyuan Bookstore, but it was the first time for her to receive such preferential treatment. She sat on the table and looked at the food on the table, including chicken, duck, meat and vegetables.
, or bowls of white rice, she swallowed quietly, the shopkeeper invited them to eat, it was Lu Manman's good fortune.
When Lu Manman saw the food on the table, she couldn't help but want to eat it. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and her mouth was tasteless. She was not polite at the moment and directly gave it a chicken leg.
Gu Qin immediately took some meat for her and took a bite. The chicken was a bit raw, but it didn't stop it from being meat: "You guys should eat quickly. After you finish eating, I will tell you one chapter of Dream of Red Mansions. No, I will tell you two chapters."
chapter!"
When the shopkeeper heard this, his heart moved and he immediately picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Gu Heng looked at Lu Manman who was eating meat with complicated eyes. He could draw such good paintings and write such good poems, but he didn't have any rules when eating, and he didn't pay much attention to etiquette. He could perfectly combine vulgarity and knowledge.
The only one who was together was probably Lu Manman.
Lu Manman has a problem!
Gu Heng was determined.
No matter how much a person changes, it is impossible for him to change so completely. Lu Manman in this life may not be the same person as in the previous life.
But, is it possible? This chapter has been completed!
