After sending Emperor Chengping away, Qi Zhen turned around and was about to go to see Princess Chang'an, when he saw the housekeeper coming in with a box.

Qi Zhen glanced at it: "This is an article sent by a student from a poor family?" ”

The housekeeper smiled: "Exactly, I just sent it over, saying that I invite you to taste one or two." ”

"It's kind of that he has a vision, and he knows that my knowledge is higher than those sour people." Qi Zhen smiled very complacently, took the box and saw that there was an article in it, and there was also an ancient fan, he didn't read the article, picked up the fan and looked at it a few times before throwing it aside: "The fan is pretty good, but it's a pity that the fan surface is ruined, what is painted on it, it's not as good as the horse painting." ”

After that, Qi Zhen lost the interest in reading the article, and casually said to the housekeeper: "Return the things and tell the person to write the article and then submit it." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly agreed and went, Qi Zhenxing first went to the house to see Princess Changle, and then went to the study to paint, but he couldn't calm down, and he barely drew a picture that he couldn't see, so he could only get up and throw it aside.

Qi family

Yun Yao sat in the room and recalled what Mrs. Guan said, closed her eyes slightly, and made a decision after opening them.

According to Mrs. Guan Gu, Emperor Chengping was very fond of Princess Changle and his wife, especially for the concubine Qi Zhen, the reason is that the concubine and Emperor Chengping's preferences are similar, they both like calligraphy and painting, and they both like beauties.

Although Qi Juma has little influence in the court, he can speak well in Emperor Chengping, and if he is voted under Qi Juma's door and asked him to help recommend, even the chief examiner has to give some face.

Speaking of fame, Qi Juma is also a master of calligraphy and painting. He must have been highly respected for leading him to various gatherings, and almost no one would slap him in the face in ignorance, so that his reputation was more prosperous than that of others.

Yun Yao thought that Mrs. Guan's words were right, and a transcendent candidate like Qi Yuma was really suitable for submitting a book.

Yun Yao later asked Mrs. Guan what Qi Juma liked, and Mrs. Guan Gu smiled and told her that Qi Juma likes to paint, he has been painting since he was a child, and now he is at the level of a half-step grandmaster, but it is even more difficult to go further in such a situation. If only Yun Yao could find a painting that could make Qi Yuma amazing. If he likes it very, and if he doesn't want to let go when he sees it, he will definitely do his best to recommend Qi Jing as a person.

Paintings?

Yun Yao gently spit out two words. She just wanted to try to paint an absolutely stunning painting to help Qi Jing give it a try.

Since you want to draw. Then it is necessary to understand the painting style of Qi Luma. It's just that the Qi family and Qi Juma can't get along, so where are they going to see the paintings of the horses? After thinking about it for a long time, Yun Yao planned to go out for a walk and see if she could think of a way.

She changed her clothes and said to Qi Gu that she was going out. Just came out of Qi Gu's house, and happened to touch Yinzhu, Yinzhu felt very uneasy when he heard that Yun Yao was going out, and he also wanted to follow.

Yun Yao didn't refuse, and waited for Yinzhu to change her clothes and the two of them went out together.

The east of the city was originally a place where dignitaries gathered, and there were many tea shops and restaurants in various shops, so it was really convenient to talk about visiting shops, just walking, and there was no need to take a carriage at all.

Especially in Ping'anfang, there is a street full of shops of all colors outside Ping'anfang, and Yun Yao plans to go there for a walk, so she didn't bring a girl or take a car.

Yun Yao and Yinzhu walked side by side, talking as they walked, and in a blink of an eye, they walked out of Ping'an Fang, and before they were about to go to the commercial street, they heard someone shouting: "Second girl, second girl......"

Yun Yao and Yinzhu turned around and looked over, and saw an acquaintance, Yinzhu smiled: "Xiao Gongzi." ”

"Second girl." Xiao Gongzi ran over in a few steps, panting and said: "I looked at the back and thought it should be the second girl, and sure enough, it's not bad, the second girl is ......."

Speaking of which, when Xiao Gongzi saw Yun Yao, he hurried over to salute, and Yun Yao also returned a salute: "You are Xiao Gongzi, right?" I almost didn't recognize it just now, why are you in Chang'an? ”

Xiao Gongzi smiled: "Isn't this to catch the exam, so I came early." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Gongzi looked at Qi Yinzhu again: "I wanted to thank the second girl for her righteous help, but the second girl still has something to do. ”

Qi Yinzhu hurriedly refused, Xiao Gongzi insisted on inviting Qi Yinzhu to dinner, the two of them pushed back and forth, Yun Yao didn't look good on the street, so he could only laugh and say: "Xiao Gongzi really has to thank you, it's better like this, you go to the Ten Fruit Shop to buy some dried fruits for the second sister, there is no need to invite us to the restaurant for dinner." ”

Xiao Gongzi thought about it and felt that it would be possible, so he asked: "Then will you wait for it?" I'm going to go back quickly. ”

Yun Yao happened to look at the shop selling paintings in front of her, and wanted to go in and take a look, so she agreed with Xiao Gongzi to wait there.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, Yun Yao shook his head and smiled: "This person is a little sincere." ”

Qi Yinzhu also smiled: "It's better to be honest than to be treacherous." ”

Yun Yao glanced at Qi Yinzhu and didn't speak again, and walked into the calligraphy and painting shop.

As soon as the two of them entered the shop, a guy stepped forward and greeted: "The two little ladies want to buy ......"

Looking up at Yun Yao and Qi Yinzhu, the guy was startled, retreated to the side and lowered his head first, and then couldn't help but look up at Yun Yao again, and then look at it, the little guy who looked at it with these two eyes turned red, and he was ashamed of Ai Ai.

Qi Yinzhu glared at the young man fiercely, and the real annoyance in his eyes made the young man sweat.

Yun Yao didn't pay much attention to it, she looked up at the calligraphy and painting works hanging on the four walls, and saw that a piece of writing was very chic, the font was slightly different from what she usually saw, and it was very thin, but if you looked closely, the words were full of wealth and nobility, and this kind of handsome and rich kneaded together had an indescribable sense of harmony.

Rao is Yun Yao, a science and engineering girl who doesn't have any artistic cells, can see the goodness of this character, Qi Yinzhu naturally saw it even more, she pointed and asked the guy: "Which person's character is this?" ”

The guy smiled, with full pride: "Okay, this is Mr. Han's word, Mr. Han is a famous person in Beijing." ”

Last name Han? Yun Yao frowned as if she had thought of something, and then looked at the red seal, the first four seal inscriptions were very obvious, and the four words of the Venerable Master Xuanjian were written on it.

Yun Yao thought of some of the things that Mrs. Guan Gu had said, and had heard Qi Jing say some things in the court, and instantly understood, she smiled and took Qi Yinzhu's hand, and asked the guy: "This character is well written, how much does it cost?" ”

The guy was immediately happy when he heard it, nodded and said: "Mr. Han's words have never been clearly priced, Mr. hangs the words here to ask people to bid, if you don't like it, you won't ask the price code, if you really like it, you make a price." ”

"What kind of rule is this?" Qi Yinzhu was a little unhappy when he heard it: "How can there be such a person in the world who sells words, it's really ......"

"That's a good rule." Yun Yao hurriedly stopped Qi Yinzhu: "Mr. Han is pure-hearted, and he is afraid that he is not going to make money by writing and selling here, just to find people in the same way, I look at this word well, it is handsome and noble, it is worth 10,000 taels of silver, but I am a little woman who doesn't have much money, and I only brought fifty taels when I went out today, I don't know...... I really can't buy a single word without saying this one. ”

When the young man heard Yun Yao say this, he immediately smiled, and handed the word to Yun Yao: "You are knowledgeable, Mr. said, as long as you know the goods, you don't need money, and today I will give you the word "Lord", take it, take it." ”

"Did you really give it to me?" Yun Yao made a look of joy: "I, I'm really ashamed of it." ”

The guys waved their hands one after another: "Naturally, you can't fake it, you have taken it." ”

Yun Yao really smiled and accepted the word, turned around and saw a painting again, the painting of the peony was blooming, Yun Yao looked at it and frowned: "Although the peony in this painting is rich, it lacks arrogance and does not have the demeanor of the king of flowers. ”

The guy listened to another burst of laughter.

Yun Yao looked at a painting again, this painting is a picture of cockfighting, the upside-down painting is very expressive, and the atmosphere of cockfighting is also drawn, and when I look at this painting, it is as if I am really in a cockfighting arena, and I see two chickens fighting to the death.

Yun Yao nodded after looking at it: "This painting is much better than the previous one, how much is this?" ”

"You've got a lot of vision." The man stepped forward and pointed to the painting: "This is a painting of Qi Horse, this painting is not for sale, it is only hung here for people to appreciate." ”

"Oh?" Yun Yao was taken aback: "I'm not afraid that your shop is quite hard in the background, which one opened it?" There is even a painting of a colt? ”

The guy laughed a few times and didn't answer, Yun Yao didn't force a question, stood under the painting and observed for a long time before nodding: "It's good, it's just that there is a bit of sourness in the painting, which makes people feel pity for no reason." ”

"Why can't I see that?" Qi Yinzhu also glanced at it a few times, shook his head and smiled at Yun Yao: "If you evaluate these calligraphy and paintings, I just see that the peony painting is also very good, and I don't see the lack of style bones, how can you see it." ”

"It's nature." Yun Yao didn't speak, but the guy stepped forward to defend her: "This little lady has spirituality at a glance, how can such a spiritual and intelligent person be comparable to you and other ordinary people, the little lady's vision is unique, just this vision and mood, tens of thousands of people may not be able to pick one out, just you ......"

The young man pursed his lips and glanced at Yinzhu: "You don't deserve to lift shoes for the little lady." ”

Qi Yinzhu was angry, raised his fist, and grabbed Yun Yao with his hand, Yun Yao smiled: "What you say is not right, everyone has their own benefits, I can't lift my hands and shoulders, and I only have a little vision, although my sister's vision is not as good as mine, she can write well, and she is a hundred times better than me, if I compare with my sister, I am nothing." ”

Yun Yao sighed again: "This person, who doesn't have a good or bad point, speaking of which, everyone in the world has talents, and everyone has flaws, you must not just stare at other people's bad ridicule, and make yourself stingy and hateful." ”

Yun Yao looked at Qi Yinzhu like this, Qi Yinzhu also lost his anger, and wanted to leave with a cold snort at the young man, but when he took a step, he thought of Xiao Gongzi, and he could only stand aside and wait.

"It's a shame to have this painting." Yun Yao looked at the painting for a while, and saw Xiao Gongzi coming from afar, and then pulled Yinzhu out of the painting shop. (To be continued.) )
