Chapter 196 [Yang Ping]
Wei'an Palace is located at the northwest foot of the Sui Palace, and the courtyard is much smaller than that of Changxin Palace, but the maids in the palace are all beautiful and beautiful, and they are all about sixteen or seventeen years old, and they are almost the same in size. It's just that the two little eunuchs at the door are a little immature, maybe a year or two younger than Lin Nan, and their voices are quite sharp and harsh.
Yang Ping took two luminous cups made of white jade, ordered a maid to pour wine on the side, and he took a painting scroll from the step and handed it to Lin Nandao: "The fifteenth brother is also an expert in painting, show me how this painting is." At this, his eyes wandered, and he continued, "See if it's a fake."
Lin Nan nodded, stretched out his hand to pick up the painting scroll, untied the tether, and slowly unfolded it.
What catches the eye is a picture of a maid with thick ink and light colors, the beauty on the painting is lifelike, the lines are outlined very clearly, and the end is a good painting. It's just that this painting has neither a signature nor a square seal, and I don't know who made it.
Lin Nan looked at it for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "The painting is a good painting, but I don't know who made it?"
Yang Ping smiled dumbly, put down the wine glass and said, "Doesn't the fifteenth brother know this picture of the maid of Huan Hou?"
"Huan Hou maid picture?" Lin Nan was taken aback, and then looked at the painting, Huan Hou was the nickname of Zhang Fei, the general of Shu during the Three Kingdoms, which showed that this painting was Zhang Fei's real handiwork.
Lin Nan was influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, and always thought that Zhang Fei was a brave and resourceless old man, who had never thought about what else he would paint. It wasn't until this life that he came into contact with some historical materials about Zhang Fei. Only then did I know that this fierce general brother was not only brave, but also a calligrapher, and he was good at painting beauties.
But he had never heard of Zhang Fei's ink treasure paintings, and all he saw was a pair of Zhang Fei's inscriptions, but they were also made by later generations. This time, Yang Ping actually said that his painting was Zhang Fei's real handiwork, and while he was surprised, Lin Nan couldn't help but have some doubts. I couldn't help but ask, "Such a rare thing, but I don't know where the starling got it from?"
Yang Ping was colorful, patted Lin Nan's shoulder and said, "If the fifteenth brother likes it." Take it. ”
Nothing to be courteous, not a traitor or a thief, if this painting is really Zhang Fei's real handiwork. It was a priceless treasure, and although Yang Ping was generous, it was not as wide as this. Lin Nan didn't know what he was thinking, so he hurriedly excused himself and said, "How can this be done." Yang Ping looked at his appearance, his eyes were shining, and he suddenly smiled: "Doesn't the fifteenth brother really know that this painting is just a fake?"
"Fakes?" Lin Nan looked at him in amazement, and scolded in his heart: "No wonder you kid is so generous, it turns out that you are making a fake to fool Lao Tzu."
At this time, Yang Ping continued on the side: "Although this painting is a fake, it is enough to be fake and real, if it weren't for everyone, I am afraid that there would be no clues."
Lin Nan couldn't hear the meaning of his words. This Yang Ping has a wide range of paintings and calligraphy, although Lin Nan is also proficient in one or two, but he is not comparable to him, this discussion of painting seems to be Yang Ping's intention to show off in front of him, in order to show his so-called demeanor.
Lin Nan scolded in his heart. There was a look of "admiration" in his eyes and he said: "Thanks to the guidance of the starling, the younger brother has been taught."
Yang Ping was satisfied, Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, patted Lin Nan's shoulder and said proudly: "Fifteenth brother, do you know who made this fake of Lu Dao?"
Lin Nan could also think of this painting as his own work with his toes, but on the surface, he was contemplative, frowning and pondering: "This ...... Forgive the little brother for being clumsy. Please also ask the starlings for some advice. ”
Yang Ping was already a little fluttering at this time, he spent half a month making such a picture of a maid, just to save face in front of the brothers, and now he was praised by Lin Nan so much, he was satisfied, and said with a casual smile: "The fifteenth brother has a good reputation, and this is just Brother Yu's graffiti."
Lin Nan snorted secretly, but he couldn't help but be "surprised" in his eyes: "It turned out to be a starling master's pen, no wonder, no wonder."
Yang Ping waved his hand, took the painting aside, raised his glass and said, "Thanks to the praise of the fifteenth brother, this glass of wine is indispensable for Brother Yu." …,
"Starling is polite, come, do it." Lin Nan raised his glass at the same time, and the two drank it together.
Putting down the wine glass, Yang Ping's face had regained his calmness, and he sighed lightly and said: "I don't know if the fifteenth brother of Lu Dao has heard of it, yesterday a minister wrote to ask his father to establish an heir, but the father did not pay attention to it, since the eldest brother went, the seat of the East Palace has been shelved for more than ten years, and the father has always valued the fifteenth brother the most, I and other brothers see it in the eyes, and I also know that the position of the prince is the fifteenth brother."
Yang Ping has a modest appearance, but his heart is very vicious, he has actually always coveted the position of the crown prince of the Great Sui, but Yang Guang only attaches great importance to Lin Nan and treats all other princes equally. It can be seen that most of the prince's position belongs to Lin Nan, and Yang Ping is on good terms with Lin Nan on the surface, but secretly he tries his best to unite the rest of the princes to isolate Lin Nan.
Lin Nan had already known that Yang Ping had one thing on the surface and one thing behind him, so he had been on guard against him for a long time. Hearing him say these words today, he knew that he was demonstrating with himself and wanted to suppress himself with the princes.
In this palace, you have to watch out for anyone all the time, the so-called family affection is penniless here, as long as you take the slightest mistake, there will be a group of people vying to push you into the abyss. Although Lin Nan is very disgusted with these intrigues, he can't help himself when he is in it, and for the sake of his own life, he has to hide his true heart very deeply.
I saw him quietly take a sip of wine, and then sighed and said: "My father is in the prime of life, and he has the world in his heart, so he is afraid that my generation and other brothers will kill each other, so he is not in a hurry to establish an heir." Yang Yu I am dissolute by nature, I don't know anything about Anbang's statecraft, this master of the East Palace can't do it, Starling Wen Taowu is ten times better than me, if it takes time, I will be valued by my father, why worry about the position of the prince next to others at that time?"
Yang Ping is not a three-year-old child, he sneered in his heart when he heard his words, and said casually: "The fifteenth brother is serious, Brother Yu is only willing to place his affection on this landscape, flowers and birds, but as for the position of this prince, he has no interest in it."
Lin Nan didn't want to entangle with him anymore, yawned, got up and said, "I've been bothering in the Starling Palace for a long time, and there are still some trivial matters in the Junior Brother Palace, so I'll leave."
"In that case, then the starling won't keep you much." Yang Ping said as he got up and sent him out of the palace.
When they came to the palace gate, the two said goodbye to each other, and when they saw Lin Nan leave the courtyard gate, a wicked sneer suddenly crossed Yang Ping's face.
"Yang Yu, heh, time is still long, let's go here and see. The lord of this East Palace is none other than me. ”
