Chapter 46 046: Redemption
Seeing Gong Cheng's reaction, the young man bent down to pick up the scroll and commented seriously: "The painting skills of these paintings are quite remarkable. Maybe Cao Yi is out of water, his brushwork is strong Jin, the person in the painting is covered with gauze, floating gracefully, which makes people imagine; or Wu Dai is in the wind, the brushstrokes are elegant and round, the clothes of the person in the painting are graceful, and they are like gods, which makes people dare not blaspheme the painter. Everyone will be successful!"
Guer also smiled and said: "These paintings are excellent."
The young man followed up and teased Gong Cheng: "Tsk, it's a pity that there are people who appreciate it. If you don’t come, don’t tell. "
Guan'er pretended to be surprised: "How could it be so? Yunchi has a reputation for being good at calligraphy and painting. If he can't appreciate it, wouldn't we..."< br>
Being teased and bullied by the two of them, Gong Cheng was in a state of high and low, frightened, and unable to laugh or cry.
I had no choice but to beg for mercy and beg them to let me go: "Mr. Gu, Weng Zhi, please stop having fun with me..."
No matter how good the painting is——
That is also a secret picture!
It is still a secret drama with an old friend as the protagonist.
Even though it is just a quick glance, it can be seen that the characters' expressions have been captured very accurately. Although they are not similar in form, they are similar in spirit. The painter also wildly expanded the spiritual resemblance of the characters. Even though he knew that the folk customs in the Northern Desert were tough and his old friends were always informal, he was still frightened.
It really shocked him for a whole year!
Looking at those paintings is like looking at a scourge.
Guer said: "Finally he is somewhat popular."
After Gong Cheng was rescued, his whole person was numb and dejected. Not an exaggeration.
I think back to Gong Yunchi back then - well, it wasn't that far away actually, just a year or two ago at most - this guy had a strong desire to win and lose, and he would often make appointments with himself to go horse racing, play ball, compete with swords and play Cuju.
When you win, you sing and drink, but when you lose, you get entangled. If he didn't get what he wanted, he would even dare to climb out of the window in the middle of the night and threaten to fight again with a knife.
Gong Chengcheng was stunned for a moment and said: "I have made you worry."
"Worrying is the second most important thing. It is most important that you cheer up."
Young man: "Shi If it’s too late, it will end well.”
Gong Cheng pursed his lips and nodded, saying: "Thank you, Mr. Mr., for your kind words."
After confirming that Gong Cheng's mood had recovered, the young man turned the topic back - Gong Cheng's "brother-in-law" was a variable, like a A chess piece appears out of thin air, seemingly out of the situation, but no one can guarantee whether "he" will come out to disrupt the situation at a critical moment.
The timing of this person's appearance was too coincidental. He just took over the work of the secret drama, and he happened to meet Gong Cheng who was hiding in Yuehua Building to recover from his injuries. He was also Gong Cheng's ex "brother-in-law" ". No, it remains to be questioned whether this "brother-in-law" is true or false.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
There are so many coincidences, it’s more like intentionality.
The young man tapped his fingers on the chessboard.
"How much do you know about your marriage to Mrs. Shen? How much do you know about this 'brother-in-law'?"
Gong Cheng raised his eyes, pondered for a while, and shook his head.
He said shyly: “I don’t understand.”
Young man: “…”
Guer: "..."
If there had been no accident, the two of them would have become a legitimate couple. How could he say "I don't understand"?
Gong Cheng also felt that he was somewhat outrageous.
But——
He was extremely sincere: “I really don’t understand.”
In fact, his wedding clothes were all made on the fly.
He didn't see the letter of appointment, the letter of gift, or the letter of welcome. The six rites of accepting gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting invitations, asking for dates, and welcoming people in person are more economical and faster. After being rushed home by his father, he found out that he was going to get married and start a family in a few days. What could he understand?
At most, he was told the woman's last name, her profession, and her age, so that he could be mentally prepared, but he didn't know the rest. Even she was in a hurry on the wedding day, and she still looked like she was wearing makeup and makeup. It’s not easy to recognize that the “brother-in-law” looks exactly like his fiancée!
Hearing this, Guer patted him on the shoulder with admiration.
It is common knowledge that marriages in the Central Plains are mostly blind and mute, and pay attention to "the parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker", but it is rare for a person to be blind and mute like Brother Yunchi, and the young man's eyes are indescribable.
Gong Cheng had to hesitate and said in embarrassment: "This wedding is not to harmonize the two surnames. It is just to avoid disaster and preserve the fire. It will inevitably be hasty..."
As he spoke, he I couldn't speak anymore and wanted to cover my face.
This is not "hasty"...
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is playing house.
"Mrs. Shen died young, but her brother-in-law, Shen Tang, is still alive. The Shen family is still alive at least." Gong Cheng gathered his emotions, and a few hints of forbearance and sympathy flashed on his face. For a fiancée who was separated by life and death in a hurry, "it is a blessing among misfortunes." Seeing that Gong Cheng was already convinced, the young man frowned and secretly exchanged glances with Guer.
The two people reached a tacit agreement.
In the other room, the shopkeeper looked at Shen Tang and waited for her to come out. He grabbed her wrist and took her to the corner: "Have you offended those people?"
Shen Tang shook his head: "I have not offended you. "
The shopkeeper asked again: "Then do you know them?"
He vaguely seemed to hear something about "Brother Wife"...
Shen Tang said: "I know one of them, but I have not had much interaction with him. The shopkeeper can rest assured that he will not cause trouble."
The shopkeeper secretly thought that this was also the case.
He put Shen Tang's reward in a money bag and handed it to her, and said, "Check it out carefully. Why don't you lend me your son to weigh it?"
Shen Tang weighed it. I know the portion well.
"No need for it."
Give it to her, and she won't know how to use it.
Shen Tang lowered his head and counted the pieces one by one. He was sighing to himself that he had to spend the money that was not yet warm in his hands. The shopkeeper said: "I am familiar with everyone in Yuehua Building. I can help you." Can you save some money?”
“Huh? "
The shopkeeper asked: "Aren't you going to redeem your brother or sister? As long as the young handyman is not as outstanding as you, the money in your hand should be enough, and maybe you can still do it. Set a price.”
Shen Tang: "???"
When did she say that her younger siblings were trapped in Yuehua Tower?
“The person who wants to be redeemed is not a child, but an old gentleman.”
The shopkeeper spoke his mind with a bald mouth: “Old man? Old people are cheaper. The older they are, the less valuable they are. . ”
This is heartbreaking, but it’s true. Older handymen are not as strong as young people, and they don’t have enough energy to do much work. Their overall value is indeed not as high as that of young people, and they are not as potential as children, so the price is the lowest. If you want to redeem it, this amount of money should be enough.
Unfortunately, everyone in Yuehua Tower was still asleep.
The shopkeeper went directly to the manager of Yuehua Building, knocked on the table and got straight to the point: "Hey, business is coming, I want to buy someone from you."
The manager looked up at the person and recognized him. He is the shopkeeper of Zhengguang Bookstore, whom he has worked with many times. His face is slightly brighter and he is smiling broadly.
“Hey, who’s buying it?”
“It’s this little lady who wants to buy it.”
The shopkeeper turned sideways to reveal Shen Tang.
The manager's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Tang's face. If it looked like this, it would definitely be a money tree!
Shen Tang said: "I want to buy a handyman who works in the kitchen. His surname is Chu. He has gray hair and looks to be in his forties or fifties." After thinking about it, he knew who Shen Tang was looking for: "You mean that old thing from Lao Chu? Do you want to buy it?"
Shen Tang nodded: "Yes."
The shopkeeper persuaded from the side: "I sold an elderly handyman at a cheaper price. You didn't lose anything, and you also fulfilled this little lady's filial piety. It can be regarded as doing good and accumulating virtue."
Shen Tang: " ..."
Others have a bamboo horse from heaven, but she has a grandfather from heaven? ? ?

Time is too late, otherwise it will be bad in the end: it is almost a matter of whether it is extremely good. If you are unlucky to a certain extent, your luck will get better.
