Chapter 1123: Turn the other cheek

After rolling up the painting randomly, Su Peisheng said with an uncomfortable face: "What's wrong with Tang Yin's paintings, if you go to the antique shop, there will be ten fakes of eight sheets." ”

"Fakes?" Sixi looked at him suspiciously, and was about to say more, the little eunuch had already made tea, and Su Peisheng hurriedly said, "Why don't you bring the tea to the emperor quickly." ”

Under Su Peisheng's continuous pushing, Sixi had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart, bring the tea in first, and when he came out again, Su Peisheng was gone. The more Sixi thought about it, the more wrong it became, and when he was free, he walked to the house where Su Peisheng lived.

Su Peisheng's window was not closed, and Sixi could see that he was in the house, carefully looking at the unfolded painting, with a fascinated expression.

Sixi didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door in directly, startled Su Peisheng inside, quickly put the painting away, and after seeing that it was Sixi, he frowned and said, "What are you doing, don't you have to wait for the emperor?" ”

"Don't worry about this, let me ask you, is this painting Tang Yin's real work?" Sixi's words made Su Peisheng's eyes flash, and he put the painting behind him and said, "I said it was a fake, what are you doing so much?" ”

Sixi stared at him and said, "If it's a fake, why do you have to look at it so seriously and be so nervous?" Say, where did this genuine painting come from? ”

Su Peisheng was annoyed by his question, and raised his voice: "Zhang Sixi, what do you mean by this, interrogating prisoners?" Not to mention that I am only one level lower than you, just because you and I are under the same master, and I followed the master half a year earlier than you, you should not talk to me in this tone. ”

Sixi also felt that he was too impulsive just now, and said in a slight tone: "I just want to know where you came from?" ”

"It's nothing to do without you." Su Peisheng's words are tantamount to acquiescing that this painting is Tang Yin's authentic work, not a fake that he has been emphasizing before.

"Pei Sheng, it is precisely because you and I are under the same master that I should still call you a senior brother, so I have to ask you where the painting came from, such a painting, even if it is in the palace, no one will throw it away, let alone let you pick it up, you tell me the truth, who gave it to me."

Su Peisheng was a little annoyed by his question, and said, "As long as I didn't steal it, what do you do when you ask so much." ”

Sixi thought carefully for a while and said, "Is it a noble lady who rewarded it?" Seeing that Su Peisheng didn't speak, he knew that he had guessed correctly, and said angrily and anxiously: "You forgot what the master said before, we are people around the emperor, and we can't get too close to those masters and mothers in the harem, especially not to take their things." ”

Su Peisheng pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "Don't say it is the same as the truth, whether it is the master or you, which one has received less silver from the masters of the harem." ”

Sixi pulled him and said, "Yes, I took their silver, but it was all some scattered silver, can it be the same as your painting?" Together, the silver is less than half of your paintings. Pei Sheng, tell me honestly, who gave it to you, and why did you give it to you? ”

Under his repeated questioning, Su Peisheng said impatiently: "If someone gives it to me, I will take it, in short, I didn't steal or rob, and it was above board." ”

Sixi said: "If it is really above board, you will not be so afraid that I will see it, and you will pretend to be a fake, you are just afraid that I will tell the emperor about this, the emperor has never liked us to get too close to the concubine, once you know the way, I will never spare you." ”

"Enough!" Su Peisheng's face sank, and he said coldly: "Zhang Sixi, don't pretend to be high with me, haven't you gotten close to the concubine?" ”

Sixi's heart jumped, and he said, "Naturally, I don't." ”

Su Peisheng put the painting on the table and sneered: "You can deceive others but you can't deceive me, we have been working by a master since we were twelve years old, and we have been working with a master for almost ten or twenty years. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Now it was Sixi's turn to feel uncomfortable, dodging Su Peisheng's gaze.

Seeing him like this, the sneer on the corner of Su Peisheng's mouth became more and more obvious, and he said word by word: "What is your relationship with Mo Er in Concubine Xi's palace?" ”

Sixi tried to suppress his heart, which was beating wildly because of his words, and said, "Mo'er has already left the palace, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Yesterday, Concubine Xi sent someone to find him, told him why he had arranged for Mo Er to leave the palace, and asked him to properly arrange and take care of Mo Er, so as not to make her feel wronged.

"Is there nothing to do when you leave the palace? Zhang Sixi, I can deceive others and can't deceive me, you and that Mo Er have long been eyebrows, two days ago, you were still pulling and pulling with her in front of the Heart Cultivation Palace, didn't I really see it? It's just that I thought about everyone's brothers and sisters, and I didn't expose you, but I never thought that you would come over to Xingshi to ask for the crime if you caught me now. Yes, this painting was rewarded by Hui Guiren, so what, Hui Guiren knew that I love calligraphy and painting, so he gave me this reward, is it wrong? ”

"Hui Guiren, you ...... You just went to see her? Sixi finally asked the origin of the painting, but he didn't feel relaxed at all, but his mood was more solemn, "There must be a reason why she rewarded you for such a precious painting, saying, what did she ask you?" ”

"No comment." Su Peisheng replied to him coldly, "You better take care of your own affairs, I know that Xiao Dengzi left the palace yesterday, and you sent him out, as for what it is, you must know better than me." In short, you don't interfere with me, and I don't interfere with you, let's take care of our own affairs. ”

Xiao Dengzi is a little eunuch under Sixi, clever and obedient, Sixi has handed over a lot of things to him to do, yesterday after knowing the true intention of Concubine Xi to send Mo Er out of the palace, he asked Xiao Deng Zi to quietly go out of the palace to take Mo Er to the house to settle, and see if there is anything missing, I didn't expect this matter to be not only known by Su Peisheng, but also let him guess the intention.

"Pei Sheng, I'm for your good, don't be so tough. If you take other people's things, you have to do things for others, but our main lord is the emperor, if you accept the things of the wise nobles like this, if you let the emperor know the way, what will be the consequences You know the way. ”

Su Peisheng said disapprerovingly: "As long as you don't say it, no one will know about it." ”

"Pei Sheng, you can't listen to my advice for anything, I'm also good for you......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Su Peisheng's hatred, "If you are really good for me, you shouldn't talk here endlessly, you and I were taught by the same master, and I am still your senior brother, but as a result, you have become the head of the inner house, and you have become a person who can follow the emperor to the court, what about me, I am nothing, and I am not even qualified to follow the emperor to the court!" Although I don't understand why this is happening, but I think that you are my junior brother, even if I am unhappy, I will not care about you, but the result is that I only took a painting of Hui Guiren, and you have a lot of words, in the end, you just can't see that I am better than you. The more Su Peisheng spoke, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but raise his voice in the back, because there was no one around here, otherwise he would have to be heard.
