"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, every family thought about the deer, and Shangshan Sihao forgot the opportunity. How sideburns cream is similar, and more out of the mountains is right and wrong. ”

In a garden called "Coupling Xiang Pavilion" in Hangzhou Cai Jing's official residence, Cai Jing splashed ink and wrote a seven-character quatrain.

"Master's calligraphy is on the next level!" An old servant on the side exclaimed.

Cai Jing calligraphy is the word is strong, elegant, steady and powerful, self-contained, can be said to be, its words are strict and not informal, easy but not more regular, the book is like a crown of the sword, discussed in the temple; The book is like a noble son, full of spirit, and brilliance.

Cai Jing calligraphy, the people of the world are few people can match it, this is undoubted, the people of the world are able to get Cai Jing a pair of calligraphy and feel infinite glory, and hide it as a treasure.

Even when Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty was the king of Duan, he once spent a lot of money to ask for a pair of Cai Jing calligraphy.

Cai Jing smiled slightly, gently rested the brush in his hand on the pen holder, and then put his hands into the copper basin held by a maid.

His hands were immersed in the cold spring water, and he was moved to be unusually cool and comfortable, and Cai Jing was so comfortable that he closed his eyes slightly.

"Is there any news in the palace? Where did the man go? After a while, Cai Jing asked after washing his hands and wiping his hands with a Jiangnan silk scarf.

"Master, I have received news from the palace, that person has already set off from Beijing, and it is estimated that in these few days, that person will arrive in Hangzhou." The old servant replied.

"Hmm" Cai Jing nodded when he heard this: "Everything needs to be prepared, from tomorrow, the door of the mansion will be closed, and the old man will not see any guests." ”

"Whoa!" The old servant answered and retreated.

Of course, Jin Shang is very fond of calligraphy and painting, Cai Jing then looked at his own calligraphy and painting on the case and secretly said in his heart, Cai Jing is still very confident in his own calligraphy and painting works.

Zhao Ji loves calligraphy and painting, it can be said that he has reached the level of obsession, but others are not necessarily, such as the queen and concubines, palace maids, eunuchs and others, especially Tong Guan Tong and the like, do not necessarily appreciate such elegant things.

For Tong Guan and others, it is better to use rare treasures, or even directly use money, to win their favor, and use antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other gold and stone things, maybe it is counterproductive.

But Cai Jing was demoted to Hangzhou as an official, where are there so many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and rare treasures around him?

This time, Tong Guan was ordered to go out of Beijing to purchase things in the palace, not only to buy the things used by the emperor and empress, but also to buy everything used by other people in the palace, such as concubines, palace maids, eunuchs, etc.

At the same time, Cai Jing took advantage of this opportunity to make friends in the palace, not only to please the emperor and queen, but also to please the concubines, palace maids, eunuchs and others, the emperor and the queen used the best and the most precious, but the concubines, palace maids, eunuchs and others, even if they give different gifts according to their status and rank, this cost is also a lot of money, so Cai Jing is thinking about how to get such a large amount of money at this time.

Tong Guan was ordered to go out of Beijing to purchase palace materials, of course, he carried a lot of money, but Tong Guan's official procurement of palace materials was to be accounted for, that is to say, it had nothing to do with Cai Jing, and it was sent privately to make friends with a piece of goods in the palace, which Cai Jing needed to pay out of his own pocket.

Cai Jing was demoted to Hangzhou for the promotion of Dongxiao Palace in the third year of Yuan Fu, for an idle position, but Cai Jing was not idle after arriving in Hangzhou, in addition to practicing calligraphy and painting, it was to inquire about all the news of the capital, so at this time Cai Jing was familiar with the capital and all the movements of Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty.

Of course, Tong Guan's trip to Jiangnan was quickly learned by Cai Jing.

"Master, Suzhou Zhu asks to see you." Not long after Cai Jing's old servant withdrew, he came back to report to Cai Jingdao.

"Suzhou Zhu's? Which Zhu? I said that I didn't see the guest, why did I still come to report? Cai Jing's thoughts were interrupted, and he asked a little angrily.

"Master, it's Suzhou Zhu Chong, and the little one will go back to them." The old servant bowed in response.

It's a pity that there are three times of money in his sleeve, the old servant said secretly in his heart.

"Wait, Suzhou Zhu Chong? Why does the name sound so familiar? Cai Jing called out to the old servant and muttered to himself.

"Master, this person once repaired a garden for Cai's mansion." The old servant reminded.

"Oh, it turned out to be this person, it's an old acquaintance, call him in." Cai Jing said lightly when he heard this.

Cai Jing's expression was flat, but he was actually ecstatic in his heart.

Zhu Chong made his fortune by cultivating gardens, but at this time, his family was rich and rich, so didn't he think about something?

All wishes come true, so it must be a good sign, Cai Jing said secretly in his heart.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Old friends Chinese network

"Congratulations to Engong, congratulations to Engong!" After Zhu Chong and his son Zhu Mian entered the "Coupling Xiang Pavilion", they bowed their hands again and again.

"Huh? Why did Zhu Yuanwai say this? The old man is happy? Cai Jing asked a little puzzled when he heard this.

"Eun Gong!" Zhu Chong bowed and smiled at Cai Jing: "Yesterday, I heard that Su Shi died of illness in Changzhou. ”

"Well, there is indeed such a thing, but what does this matter have to do with the old man?" Cai Jing asked.

Su Shi died of illness in Changzhou, and the matter quickly spread all over the world, and Cai Jing certainly knew about it.

"Isn't Engong's nemesis happy when his nemesis dies?" Zhu Chong asked rhetorically.

"What are these words?" Cai Jing said angrily when he heard this: "Although the old man has different views from Su Gongzheng, he also used to be a minister in the same palace, at this time Su Gongxian died, how can the old man be happy?" ”

As Zhu Chong said, Su Shi and Cai Jing are indeed a pair of sworn enemies, and it is not too much to describe the relationship between the two as overwhelming.

Su Shi and Cai Jing are both masters of calligraphy in the world, and they are listed as "Mi, Cai, Su, and Huang" among the four masters, only in terms of calligraphy, the two are each with their own strengths, are comparable, and admire each other.

But Su Shi and Cai Jing, one is the backbone of "Yuanyou" and the other is the mainstay of "Yuanfeng", because of their differences in political opinions, they often quarrel like fire and water, and they can't wait to put each other to death.

When Cai Jing was in power, Su Shi was all against it, and he thought from the bottom of his heart that Cai Jing's practices were laborious and costly, of course, Su Shi was out of public intentions, but he was hated by Cai Jing, and all of Su Shi's practices were also opposed by Cai Jing.

In a nutshell, as long as it is what you do, everything is wrong.

But this kind of thing can only be known in the heart, but it can't be put on the bright side, at this time Su Shi died of illness in Changzhou, if Cai Jing showed a happy and encouraging appearance, he would be criticized and criticized by others, and others could only say that Cai Jing gloated and was an extremely shallow person.

What's more, Su Shi and Cai Jing have been enemies for so many years, and at this time Su Shi died of illness in Changzhou, Cai Jing couldn't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox...

"Eun Gong is angry!" Zhu Chong saw that Cai Jing was a little annoyed, so he hurriedly said: "The villain lost his words, but Su Shi's death in Changzhou this time is indeed a great joy for Engong." ”

"Well, why is that? What is the joy of the old man? Zhu Yuanwai has something to say. Cai Jing said lightly.

"Eun Gong!" Zhu Chong replied with a smile: "People say that Su Shi has the talent of a general, even the first emperor once said that Su Shi has the ability to be a prime minister, and Su Shi will return to Beijing by order, and he will inevitably be reused, but at this time, Su Shi died of illness halfway, isn't it a bamboo basket to draw water?" So who else can my Great Song Zai and Ruling position fall into? From the villain's point of view, this person is none other than Engong! ”

"Hey, what Zhu Yuanwai said has some truth." Cai Jing showed a smile at this time, and said to Zhu Chong with a smile: "Outside Zhu Yuan, please sit down, come here, serve tea." ”

Cai Jing's claim makes sense, but in fact, he doesn't think so.

Who is Su Shi? is the backbone of "Yuanyou", and at this time, Zhao Ji is more and more inclined to "Yuanfeng", and he is more and more inclined to inherit the ambition of his father and brother, so will Su Shi return to Beijing at this time to be reused? The answer is no.

At the same time, at this time, the Song treasury was empty and the finances were tight, so at this time, only the people of "Yuanfeng" could quickly reverse this situation, and it would not work to rely on those old and stubborn people of "Yuanyou".

For these things, although Cai Jing is far away in Suzhou and Hangzhou, he knows everything about them, and these things are not something that Zhu Chong's people can understand.

At this time, Cai Jing didn't want to refute Zhu Chong, because Cai Jing was asking for him.

After the tea was served, Cai Jing said to Zhu Chong: "But the old man is currently deposed and has been away from the court for a long time, and the current court is Zeng Bu and Han Zhongyan, both of whom are His Majesty's right-hand men, so what is the position of Zhu Yuanwai, and what does it have to do with the old man?" ”

"Huh!" Zhu Chong smiled when he heard this: "The ambition of Engong has been heard for a long time, Engong is the dragon and phoenix among people, sooner or later he will return to the court, sit in the position of slaughter and execution, and hold the authority of the world." ”

Zhu Chong then got up and gave Cai Jing a heavy salute and said, "The villain came here today for nothing else but to ask for a gift to my Zhu family when Engong returns to the court." ”

"Get up." After Cai Jing took a sip of tea, he smiled slightly and said: "Li Yuanwai is an old acquaintance of the old man, and it should be so, but the old man is indeed more than capable at present!" ”

It was Mingli who asked for money, and Zhu Chong was also an understanding person, how could he not know the meaning of Cai Jing's words? So he said with a smile: "There is an opportunity at the moment, I heard that the palace boy is about to go to Jiangnan, so I am willing to help Engong, no, I am willing to do my best to help Engong." ”

"Hahahaha!" Cai Jing laughed when he heard this, laughed very happily, and said to Zhu Chong: "So the old man is grateful to Zhu Yuanwai, Sage Yun, if you want to take it, you must first contact it, how does Zhu Yuanwai need the old man to help, can you tell one or two?" ”

"Mian'er, come and kowtow to Engong." Zhu Chong said to Zhu Mian when he heard this.

"Engong is on top, the villain kowtows to Engong!" After Zhu Mian came over, he lay on the ground and kowtowed to Cai Jing three times.

"Engong, I'm here for the dog Zhu Mian." Zhu Chong then said to Cai Jing.
