The maid took out a palm-sized box from her arms and gave it to her, she took it and handed it directly to Fan Weijie: "Cousin Jie, this is my birthday gift for you, see if you like it or not." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Oh, then I'm going to have a good look!" Fan Weijie was drinking tea, and when he heard the words, he put down the tea cup and took it with great interest.

He opened the box and saw a mutton fat jade plaque lying quietly on the backing of the big red girl.

Fan Weijie let out a "huh", picked it up and took a closer look: "What is carved on this?" ”

Gu Chengyu glanced at the jade card and continued to drink tea with a smile, it seems that he has known it for a long time. Fan Weicheng, who was sitting next to Fan Weijie, leaned over and looked at it carefully, and said, "It's like a person's side face......" He suddenly turned his head to look at Fan Weijie, and then looked at the jade plate, "The person on this jade card is very similar to you!" ”

"Huh? Is it? I'm going to see it too! Wang Manqing leaned over and looked at it, her eyes glaring, "It's really you!" ”

At this time, the others couldn't sit still and came over to watch.

Fan Weijie's eyes showed a light of surprise, and he said to Gu Chengjiao sincerely: "Cousin, you bothered with this gift, I like it very much!" ”

"If my cousin likes it, it's fine." Gu Chengjiao smiled a little proudly.

Gu Chengyu put down the teacup, glanced at his sister with a smile, and said to Fan Weijie: "The picture is hand-painted by Cheng Jiao, please ask the master of Zhuji Pavilion to carve out the ......."

Li Wan stood up and looked at it twice, the jade is a good jade, the carving is not fine, the focus is on grasping the charm, it seems that Gu Chengjiao is very good at painting.

Fan Weijie's eyes lit up, and he couldn't put it down, turning over and over the jade card.

Gu Chengjiao was a little embarrassed: "...... Actually, it didn't take much effort...... My brother has put a lot of effort into the gift he has prepared for you! ”

"Oh, what Gu Gongzi prepared is definitely not an ordinary product, quickly take it out and let us see it!" Fan Weirong said.

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere around him suddenly froze.

Fan Weijie frowned slightly, the so-called gift is not about affection, no matter what gift his cousin gives him, his heart is the most important thing. Fan Weiyue and Fan Weicheng's faces were a little stiff, what Rong Mei said was like a small family that had never seen the world, could it be that there was no treasure in the dignified Wu'an Mansion?

Fan Weining and Fan Weijun glanced at each other and drank tea silently.

Gu Chengjiao lowered her head and sorted out the red coral bracelet on her wrist, with a little contempt on her face. Wang Manqing and Li Wan exchanged glances and looked at Gu Chengyu casually.

"It's just a matter of expressing your heart, so what's the matter if it's valuable or not." Gu Chengyu said lightly, and then without waiting for others to speak, he shouted for his little servant to come in.

Fan Weirong didn't seem to feel anything strange from the others, and waited with anticipation on his face to see the gift prepared by Gu Chengyu.

His little servant respectfully came in with a rectangular box and placed it on the table.

Fan Weiyue deliberately adjusted the atmosphere, and without waiting for Fan Weijie to make a move, she smiled and reached out to open the box: "I want a sneak peek!" ”

Inside the box was a scroll of sandalwood, which she took out and placed on the table to unfold slowly.

It's a painting.

Heavy snow is flying, the sky and the earth are white, the craggy mountain rocks are clustered with green bamboo, the snow presses the bamboo branches, bends but does not break.

The composition of the whole painting is simple, but there are only a few brushstrokes, no inscriptions, and no inscriptions.

Everyone gathered around the table to admire the paintings, and their expressions were a little strange.

Li Wan looked at Gu Chengyu and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, the meaning of this painting is very good, but the picture is too thin, and the brushwork is a little simple, there is really nothing special.

Gu Chengyu smiled, looking like an old god was there.

She glanced at it and saw that Gu Chengjiao's eyes were full of pride, a little more than before.

Is there anything else that can't be done with this painting?

Li Guan came closer and took a closer look, but unfortunately he didn't see anything famous after looking at it for a long time.

"Hahahaha, my cousin still knows me and knows that I have always loved bamboo, so he specially gave me this painting. Thank you cousin, I love it! Fan Weijie laughed heartily twice, glanced at his little servant, and asked him to quickly put the painting away, so as not to embarrass Gu Chengyu.

Fan Weicheng's face was relieved, they really didn't know what to say, they wanted to praise a few words, this painting was really far-fetched, don't say anything, and make Gu Chengyu lose face. It's better to put it away quickly.

Fan Weijie's little servant Jingsong hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and stepped forward, reaching out to put the painting away.

"Wait a minute!" As soon as his fingers touched the shaft handle, Wang Manqing suddenly stopped him.

Everyone was stunned.

Wang Manqing lowered his head, pointed to the lower right corner of the painting and said, "Look, what is that?" ”

What is it?

Everyone came back to their senses and followed her fingers to see that the place under the pile of rocks was covered with a thumb-sized seal. The seal is too small, and it is covered in such a small corner, which makes it difficult for people to notice.

Fan Weiyue was closest to the painting, and couldn't help bending down to take a closer look.

"Eldest sister, what's printed on it?" Fan Weirong couldn't wait to ask.

“…… It seems to be ...... Huh......" Fan Weiyue frowned in confusion, "The words on this are so strange......"

"What word? I'll take a look! Fan Weijie leaned his face over, and then said "eh" in surprise, "Like...... Rules, hearts, dedications, and aspirations...... But how can you lack a pen and draw less? ”

Everyone was interested when they heard this, and they all stepped forward to take a closer look.

Lack of strokes?

Li Guan's heart moved, he leaned over to take a closer look, and suddenly his breath stagnated, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

It was as if she was frozen, and there was a moment of blankness in front of her, and she wanted to see more clearly, but her feet seemed to be filled with lead. A fantastical thought flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but make her heart beat faster.

Others are still studying there.

"Is it wrong?"

"Which master has ever used the seal of 'Discipline'?"

"Maybe it's because the chapter is too small, so the strokes are omitted......"

Wang Manqing looked at the seal, pursed his lips, and his eyes fell on Li Guan. She raised her eyebrows slightly, stretched out her hand and waved in front of Li Guan's eyes: "Guan'er? ”

Li Wan ignored her.

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Manqing reached out and shook her shoulder, her voice flustered, "Are you uncomfortable?" Why is your face like this? ”

Fan Weiyue turned her head when she heard her voice: "What's wrong?" ”

The eyes of Fan Weijie and others also fell on Li Guan.

Li Guan's staring eyes blinked, his stiff face slowly softened, and his dull eyes slowly turned to Wang Manqing's face: "It's okay...... I'm fine. She smiled lightly, her gaze softened, "It's just that I think it's strange when I see the words on the seal...... Very special...... So a little surprised. ”

Wang Manqing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Weirong showed a disapproving look on her face, she had never seen a girl in the world.

Li Wan turned a blind eye to their concerned or indifferent gazes, and looked at Gu Chengyu with a smile: "Brother Gu, I don't know who this painting came from?" ”

"yes, yes, what the hell is going on with this painting? Cousin, just say it, don't sell it! Fan Weijie said urgently.

Gu Chengyu smiled faintly and said unhurriedly: "This painting is made by a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Such a painting that can be said to be at the lower middle level was painted by the amazing and brilliant Mr. Ye Zicheng?

How can it be!

Although not everyone present was fortunate enough to have seen Ye Zicheng's paintings, they at least knew that Ye Zicheng was good at painting landscapes, and his artistic conception was far-reaching and profound, like a fairy like a dream, and his style was very obvious.

"Cousin, could you be mistaken?" Fan Weijie hesitated, "This painting ...... It's really not like Mr. Ye's style......"

Gu Chengyu didn't answer his question directly, but asked, "Do you know what year Mr. Ye was the champion and what year he entered the Hanlin Academy?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and there was some surprise on their faces.

"I only know that he is the champion of Yongxi in the 28th year, and I don't know exactly what year he entered the Hanlin Academy......" Fan Weijie said.

"Thirty-one years." Gu Chengyu said, "Mr. Ye is the thirty-first year of Yongxi's entry into the Hanlin Academy. ”

Fan Weicheng was puzzled: "In twenty-eight years, he was the champion, and he only entered the Hanlin Academy in thirty-one years...... However, as far as I know, Mr. Ye has not served anywhere else except for the Hanlin Academy, so the three years in between......"

"As everyone knows, Ye University is a scholar of noble character, indifferent to fame and fortune, and has no intention of being dumped in officialdom, so he has always been hanging on to the idle position of the Hanlin Academy. But in fact, many people don't know that Mr. Ye was reluctant to do this idle job at first. He participated in the imperial examination for the honor of his family, and after winning the top prize, he resigned to the first emperor and planned to return to his hometown to spend his life. The first emperor appreciated his talent very much and did everything possible to keep him, but unfortunately his mind was already decided. The first emperor agreed with him that he would give him five years of free time to travel through the mountains and rivers of Dakang, and if he still insisted on not being able to do anything after five years, he would never be forced to do so. Mr. Ye agreed, and in the future, he traveled all over the north and south of the river to see the scenery of various places. Who knew that in only three years, Mr. returned to the capital and asked for admission to the Hanlin Academy, and he has been ...... until now"

"Didn't you agree on five years, why did Mr. Ye come back after three years?"

Gu Chengyu thought thoughtfully: "During Mr. Ye's travels, there was only an old servant who followed him all the way, and no one knew where he went and what he went through......

"And did he paint this picture while he was traveling?"

Gu Chengyu nodded: "Yes, I only know that the last place that Mr. traveled to was Nanshan Bamboo Sea." After he finished painting there, he immediately returned to the capital...... He gave the painting to the mountain keeper at that time, and after the mountain keeper died, his son collected the painting, and after more than ten years of changing hands, I also accidentally found this painting some time ago......"

Everyone was silent, and their eyes couldn't help but fall back on the picture scroll on the table.

What did Ye Zicheng experience in those three years, he changed his mind and entered the company early. He has an indifferent personality and does not value fame and fortune, so it is naturally impossible for him to be fame and fortune. The deadline has not yet arrived, and it will not be forced by the situation......

A simple and real cluster of wild bamboo, bent but not broken, could it be the experience he gained from his travels? What does "discipline and determination" mean?
