When the old man saw it, he also stroked his beard and praised it: "It's really a good word." ”

The young man beside him turned his head to look at him, his eyes were round, his face was full of incredulity, and he couldn't help muttering: "There are people in this kind of small place who can be worthy of your old man's praise, it's really amazing!" ”

It was a scholar dressed in a pale blue coat, pursed his lips, his face seemed to be a little complicated, and the expression between his eyebrows was a little strange.

The little guy who followed him puffed out his face, lowered his voice and whispered: "Son, I think, the eldest lady really deserves to be our Xia family, she doesn't grow up at home, and she ......."

Childe suddenly swept his cold eyes, he quickly closed his voice, his eyes showed a little ignorance, and then secretly smacked his mouth.

It's just that he can't just say that the eldest lady is not as good as Miss Cicada in order to make his son happy!

Although he is just a small servant, he may serve the son of the Xia family closely, and he knows that these pieces of information should be kept secret, he is the most loyal son of the family, and he is heart-wrenching to the Xia family...... Let him say that the bloodline of the Xia family is not as good as a fake lady, even if that fake lady is the tip of the master's heart, he can't say it.

I had to shut my mouth and bow my head and not say anything.

The teahouse is really lively.

When the door opened, the men walked in by themselves, and when they entered the door, they walked around the clusters of lush potted plants, and saw many guests, young and old, sitting on the stone tables shaded by the trees, drinking tea and laughing.

Others shook their heads while holding books.

The old man glanced at it, across the bluestone path, inside the open gate, rows of bookshelves against the roof, at first glance, all the readers who love to read, should shine in front of their eyes.

A few scholars leaned over and took a look, and a large part of the books looked very unfamiliar, and then they flipped through it, and they all belonged to the binding and content, all of which were excellent, and suddenly they couldn't walk.

Unconsciously, many people drank tea and read, and there was only a teahouse, so that it had the appearance of a holy place of the academy.

Father-in-law Xue is old and can't sit for a long time, since he has been here, there is no big deal, he turned around, looked around, and Hongchen sent him back early.

At first glance, the old man smiled unconsciously: "Even I, an old guy, standing here with you, smelling the fragrance of tea, actually feel that the vulgar bones on my body are lighter." ”

Hongchen raised his eyebrows, just wanted to speak, suddenly heard someone in the room arguing, the sound was quite loud, and the scholars who were drinking tea ran over to see the excitement, and after a while, in front of a bookshelf in the study, more than a dozen guests were squeezed over.

"What's going on? Go and see? ”

Father-in-law Xue is old, but it is so lively, he turned his head first, Hongchen had to follow, and by the way, he gave Mu Ye and Hu Zheng, who was hanging his head all the way and was timid.

Mu Ye spread his hands - his old father-in-law was naughty, like a child, and he couldn't control it as a junior.

Father-in-law Xue sent it over, and when he saw the two people arguing in the middle of the crowd, his face suddenly changed.

"When did the surnamed Kong and the surnamed Zhang come to Qi County?"

Hongchen was also taken aback, she knew these two people, they were both high-ranking officials, one was Kong Wenlin, who had told the emperor about the history of the scriptures, and the other was even more powerful, he had been **, that was the famous champion Zhang Zhen, and he had been an old man in the Taiping Pavilion for two years.

How could these two big men come to the small Qi County?

Looking at the few people around them, all of them belong to the famous and surnamed people in the Great Zhou, maybe they are far from being high-ranking and powerful, but they are the pillars of the literati and the clear stream.

Xiaoxiaoqi County, even a number of talents on weekdays make the county magistrate happy, but now a bunch of high-ranking officials have emerged, even if it is Zhishi's ...... If people knew about it, it would definitely be earth-shattering.

Hongchen smiled, if she let a group of people in front of her leave Mobao at this time, her own teahouse will definitely come in the future!

However, Master Xue is afraid that he will be unhappy.

The gang of people in the Hanlin Academy, especially these two, talk about how eunuchs can harm the country all day long, but Master Xue is a eunuch or a close confidant of the emperor, and he is the one who should be cut off the most in their mouths, how can they get along?

At this time, the two bachelors didn't see Gonggong Xue, and were pointing at a painting placed on the table, arguing endlessly.

The kitten slipped over and said in a low voice: "That painting is a grain merchant in the south of the city, a congratulatory gift from the king, so that these two people will make a fuss when they see it." ”

He also wondered, he really didn't understand why two people could quarrel so much because of an inconspicuous painting.

It is a yellowed ancient painting, re-framed, it still looks a little old, look at the inscription, it should be the work of Li Bi, the last lord of Southern Chu.

If it's true, it's worth a fortune!

Kong Wenlin obviously didn't believe it, and snorted coldly: "Don't be kidding, when did Lord Li draw a sunrise map on the top of Mount Tai?" He had never been to Mount Tai in his life! Li Guozhu loved to paint court beauties in his early years, he was good at figure painting, and his painting style was beautiful. It must be a fake! ”

Zhang Zhenyin smiled: "What are you anxious about, I didn't say that it was true, but I just said that the person who painted this fake painting was extremely careful except for the content, and the paper was Chengxintang paper, and there was no problem with the seal. ”

"Hmph, I'm also a bachelor from Hanlin, and I can't even distinguish a painting."

Xue Gonggong said coldly.

The room was suddenly quiet, and the two Jinshi turned their heads at the same time, and when they saw Xue Gonggong, their faces remained unchanged, and their eyes were already cloudy, and they couldn't say that they had to roll up their sleeves and fight for three hundred rounds.

"It turns out that Eunuch Xue is also in Qi County? Could it be that this painting is yours? Let's talk about it? ”

Xue Gonggong didn't smile: "Anyway, it's not your painting, you are talking nonsense there, it's annoying, Ah Chen, this is your teahouse, and it is also your painting, you come to tell them the true origin of this painting!" ”

Hongchen: "......"

She hasn't seen what the painting is good yet!

But at this time, if these old guys, who are almost two hundred years old, are allowed to fight in her house, it will be really lively.

Thinking about it, Hongchen walked over and took a look, pointed to the seal below, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you two, please see, one is 'Da Yongyonghe Five Years', and the one next to it is 'Yayuan Secret Mansion'." These two seals are not fake, and the two scholars must be able to distinguish them. ”

This is good, Kong Wenlin and Zhang Zhen nodded.

Hongchen smiled: "That means that this painting is the fifth year of Da Yongyonghe, was hidden in the secret mansion of Yayuan, as the world knows, Prince Yu also commented in his Yayuan notes, saying that Nanchu Li Bi, a merry and talented man, mistakenly became the lord of the country, but the calligraphy and painting made by him are beyond the reach of his family, and his calligraphy and painting are highly respected, and he has collected a lot." Li Biyong and five years was captured by Prince Yongyu, calligraphy and painting were also taken away, since it is the collection of the secret mansion of Yayuan, the possibility of real painting is still very large. ”

Kong Wenlin and Zhang Zhen were quieter and frowned: "But this is Mount Tai?" ”

Hongchen gently patted the painting on the table to stop arguing, and then said: "I once had the honor to read the 'Taishan Chronicle' written by Gao Zhan and Gao Changyuan, and it mentioned a strange anecdote. ”
