The winter nights are exceptionally cold, but this time is the beginning of the nightlife. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the small red building at the back of the Xiaoyao Pavilion, in a luxuriously furnished room, four young people sit, and two stunning women are playing the beautiful music outside.

The inside room separated by a wall cannot hear the sound outside, which shows that the sound insulation effect is good.

"Why, do you really want to find a way to put off this marriage?" Rui Wang took a sip of his wine glass and squinted at Baili Xiao, who was rarely silent.

Hearing this, Baili Xiao stretched out his hands and rubbed his face fiercely with some helplessness, "If that girl is really talentless and virtuous, I feel better in my heart, in case it is a good girl, isn't I delaying others?" ”

Qin Yuan and Yang Minghui were also a little speechless, and when they heard this, they didn't know and thought that Baili Xiao's conscience had discovered it, but in fact, they ......

"Fortunately, Minghui and I can delay for a few years, but I'm afraid you ...... here"

Baili Xiao looked at Qin Yuan and sighed, "I can't drag it out, my grandmother is determined to fall in love with other girls this time, I ......"

"Okay, you don't have to show us this picture, aren't you so wandering because of curiosity?" King Rui looked at Baili Xiao with some disdain.

"Curious? Why? Qin Yuan was a little confused. Although Qin Yuan is brave and not inferior to his brother in terms of soldiers, he is really much worse in terms of human feelings.

"Hehe, probably the eldest princess is very optimistic about that girl, which makes Xiao's heart like a cat's claw and can't bear to destroy it!" Yang Minghui understood what King Rui meant.

Baili Xiao threw the empty wine glass in his hand on Yang Minghui's body, and Yang Minghui caught the wine glass without moving.

"Honestly, I'm really curious. It is said that my grandmother and mother have not seen anyone, why did they like the third lady so hard?

Aki, you really don't know your sister-in-law's sister? ”

"I don't know much more than you know, mainly because he basically doesn't leave the house, and no one understands it at all."

Baili Xiao suddenly thought of something, "I'll show you something." Then he took out a piece of paper from his bosom.

"What is this?" Everyone gathered at the table and looked at the spread of paper.

"Yes, when did Xiao go to enjoy the plums? How can I write such a poem? "Yang Minghui doesn't look like a military general, if he really does a scientific examination, at least he is also an eye-catcher.

Rui Wang shook his head, "This is not written by Xiao. "If it was really written by Baili Xiao, with his character, it would have been shown a long time ago.

Baili Xiao nodded and told the source of the poem.

"You said you got it at the plum banquet in King Zhan's mansion?" King Rui's expression became a little solemn.

When did someone in the capital write such a good sentence? And a woman?

"Are you suspicious ......?" King Rui pondered for a moment, and immediately understood what Baili Xiao meant.

"Well, although Jingjing is not very old, she has attended a lot of banquets with her grandmother and mother, and there are too few women in the capital who don't know her, or she doesn't know them."

Yang Minghui and Qin Yuan also immediately realized after hearing Baili Xiao's words, "You mean that this poem was written by the third lady of the Marquis of Changning?" ”

No one has ever seen the third lady here, so I really can't tell.

"Master, Elder Qin asks to see you." Suddenly, someone was talking in the room, but no one was in sight.

"Old Qin? What is important to him at this time? King Rui frowned.

"Let him in." Baili Xiao was also very strange that there would be something important for Elder Qin in the middle of the night.

Suddenly, the back wall where several people were sitting silently opened, and a very narrow door appeared in this luxurious room.

An old man about fifty years old, dressed in a navy blue plain cotton robe, walked in through the narrow door with a surprised face.

The old man was holding a long package in his hand, and before he could salute everyone present, King Rui waved his hand, "No need to be polite, Old Qin should talk about things first." ”

Old Qin is also not polite, if Zhen Zhen is here, he will exclaim strangely, this old man is actually the shopkeeper of Yun Mo Xuan.

The old man dragged a large low table from the side, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the table.

Rui Wang Baili Xiao couldn't help but look at Qin Lao's strange behavior, what is this doing?

"Master, I've met an opponent." After the old man finished cleaning up, he opened the package in his hand, and there was still a layer of plain silk cloth wrapped in it.

"Oh?" King Rui was interested, and naturally understood what Qin Lao meant. "There are still talents who can compete with Xiao?"

"Hehe, you can see it at a glance." Qin Lao finally opened one of the volumes.

"Hiss......." Rui Wang and Baili Xiao looked at the picture scroll spread out on the table and took a breath.

"What font is this?" Yang Minghui thinks that although he is not as good as Baili Xiao's calligraphy and painting, there is really nothing he doesn't know about the font.

"Good, good verse!" Rui Wang read the whole poem and applauded the table.

"It's more accurate to say poetry than poetry! After reading the whole article, the eyes are full of fragrant words such as flowers, peaches, wine, and drunk, but there is no vulgarity!

On the contrary, the power of the pen penetrates the back of the paper, which makes people wake up suddenly! Baili Xiao walked around this calligraphy and painting.

Qin Lao twisted his beard and smiled softly, "I have never seen this kind of old brushwork!" The font looks loose inside and tight outside, loose on the top and tight on the bottom, loose on the right and tight on the left, and convergent in the middle of the up-and-down publicity. The whole calligraphy looks elegant and ancient, with a bookish atmosphere. It is timeless and free-flowing, which makes the viewer feel very aftertaste. ”

Qin Yuan and Yang Minghui half-bent down and looked at the painting in front of them carefully, although it was not as transparent as Qin Lao's view, but when they looked at the whole picture, it was indeed like what Qin Lao said.

"This person must have great talent, and it can be seen from this painting that Huai Cai is not encountered, and everyone in the world is drunk with my loneliness and ambition!" King Rui sat at the table and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he looked stunned, "Old Qin, where did you get this painting?" ”

Old Qin still twisted his beard unhurriedly, "Everyone, please be calm for a while." Then he opened another painting next to him.

"Wonderful! The poetry of this painting is natural, and when you look at it, you can see it like a green and blue air rushing towards you! "King Rui is almost lying on top of the whole painting.

"Dream back? The author of these two paintings is called Menghui? Baili Xiao asked a little too much.

In the afternoon, the old man was upstairs sorting out the fragments, and a young brother came to sell two paintings.

To be honest, such paintings are rare in old life! When the old man asked about the owner of the painting, the little brother only smiled and said that his master was a little embarrassed because of his recent situation, so he had to make this decision. ”

Everyone understands that the owner of other people's paintings is not afraid to show up in front of people.

"What about the price of the painting?" Baili Xiao also knows that some talented people like to be biased and don't like to show off in front of others.

"Hehe, the little brother said, the master once said that a calligraphy and painting of the master of Xiaoyao Pavilion sold by Yunmoxuan some time ago is worth 15,000 taels, but unfortunately the whole painting only lacks the majestic momentum, and the reason is only in the poetry."

Baili Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, "Could it be the pair that the three princes bought?" ”

Qin Lao nodded.

"It seems that this dream is really talented, and he can actually see the flaws in my calligraphy and painting."

King Rui also knew which calligraphy and painting he was talking about, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard the words, "I've never heard of such a strange person in the Great Xia Dynasty?" ”

"Does Elder Qin know how to contact this person?" Rui Wang added.

Qin Lao shook his head, "Little brother just said, let the old man discuss the price with the master, and he will naturally come again in three days." ”

It seems that Menghui is still a thoughtful person.

"The time to look at the painting should have been made in the past day or two, which shows that this person's skills are extraordinary, but those who are truly talented and do not like to be born will not encounter a situation of danger, and will not sell their masterpieces at will.

Qin Lao thinks that the price of these two calligraphy and paintings is the most suitable? ”

Baili Xiao also understands the thoughts of these people, isn't he the same?

"It's hard to say." Qin Lao shook his head, "Based on this font alone, it is a masterpiece of the world."

If you talk about the skill of this painting, you can't get it for decades. "That is to say, the price is too low, and I'm really sorry for people's real talents, and the price is too high, and it's really hard to price.

"Lord Rui, I heard that the emperor of Southern Chu likes to collect calligraphy and paintings of celebrities all over the world." Yang Minghui suddenly said thoughtfully.

"Emperor of Southern Chu?" Baili Xiao muttered. "Ah! How did you forget such a big character? ”

"Night Falcon." Baili Xiao immediately shouted.

"Master." until you can hear the voice, but you can't see the people.

"Arrange it immediately, so that Ding Quan, the chief eunuch in the palace, and Zuo Si, the prime minister, know that Yun Moxuan has a batch of new paintings." Baili Xiao finished speaking, and then turned his head to look at Qin Lao, "Qin Lao will put these two paintings in the most conspicuous position tomorrow, without price tags, only marked that this painting is only exhibited and not sold." ”

When King Rui heard Baili Xiao's order, he seemed to understand the meaning a little, "Xiao is ready to hold this dream?" ”

"The capital has been too quiet lately, and the Prime Minister seems to be paying too much attention to Lord Rui." This is a painting to divert the prime minister's attention.

"Did we buy these two paintings or ......?" Qin Lao also understood the key.

"Old Qin, after the little brother went three days later, you directly took out 50,000 taels of silver tickets, and said that these two calligraphy and painting paintings were purchased in the shop."

After Baili Xiao finished speaking, he saw the poem on the other table, walked over and picked it up, "Old Qin, you give this poem to that little brother, just say that you entrust Mr. Menghui to make a blessing calligraphy and painting on this poem, no matter what the effect is, we will recycle it at a price of 20,000 taels after the painting is completed." ”

"Hahaha, Xiao, do you really want to compete with others?" It's rare for King Rui to laugh so heartily.

Baili Xiao smiled slightly, "Actually, I want to explore that person's thoughts, if it is to temporarily alleviate the predicament, then his paintings will really become rare in the future."

If that person takes over our olive branch, it may be a good thing that he can use the hands of others to make Yun Moxuan's business bigger in the future. ”
