The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, but the cabin is still warm like spring, the three of them chatted happily, the maid of the Sun family added carbon blocks to the carbon stove from time to time, and the teapot placed on it was steaming, and the lid of the pot was lifted by the grunt, and there was a crisp sound from time to time.

Sun Kehong leaned forward and whispered mysteriously: "A few days ago, someone visited my father and mentioned that the Xiang family had a new collection of "Female History" ......."

"Haha, so you're there for this." He Liangjun laughed and said: "I also heard about this, so I rushed to Jiaxing a year ago, just to see the real face!" ”

The corners of Qian Yuan's mouth twitched on the side, his memory was not so bad...... Yesterday, these two guys were in front of their uncles, one said that he and the Jiaxing Xiang family were in-laws and old friends, and the other said that he was specially going to help!

However, Qian Yuan was interested in these in his previous life, but unfortunately he didn't have any talent, and he didn't have the funds to play with the collection, and he knew that "The Female History of Zhentu" was the masterpiece of Gu Kaizhi, the grandmaster of the painting world in history.

Qian Yuan remembered that the "Luo Shen Futu" among the top ten famous paintings in later generations was also Gu Kaizhi's work, but this "Female History Portrait" didn't seem to have heard of it.

Of course, the "Female Historian" was looted by the British during the looting of the Summer Palace by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and was later stored in the British Museum.

"What luck!" Sun Kehong seems a little excited, this is understandable, he has no fame so far, although he can rely on his father Yin Shi to be an official, but so far there is no office, a lot of time and energy are put on painting, now in the painting world, Songjiang Mansion is difficult to match.

"Yes, the "Female History Atlas" has been hidden in the royal palace in all dynasties, or it has been hidden by high-ranking and powerful people such as Jia Yidao, and it is rare to enter the people." He Liangjun frowned and said: "I just don't know if it's true or not, after all, it's less than a thousand years, and there are twelve volumes in total, so it's not easy to pass it on...... However, no matter how bad it is, it is also a copy of the Tang and Song dynasties. ”

Well, Qian Yuan had to admit that in front of the first one in Jiaxing, he was really not enough to see, but this also made his doubts even stronger.

Sun Kehong and He Liangjun both noticed the somewhat silent Qian Yuan, although his great-grandfather Qian Fu was a connoisseur and had a lot of collections, but when the family split decades ago, Qian Yuan's grandfather was almost swept away.

There are two kinds of people who are good at connoisseurship in this era, one is the shopkeeper of the pawn shop, they eat with this, and they naturally have a hand, and the other is the heirs of the big families, they have been exposed to all kinds of antiquities and ancient books since childhood, and they have been proficient in this way over time.

Although Qian Yuan is Qian Fu's grandson, he does not have this blessing.

As soon as the topic in the cabin changed, He Liangjun, who had traveled all over the country a few years ago, chatted about all kinds of interesting stories on the road, Sun Kehong lived in Beijing with his father for a long time, and Qian Yuan gradually participated.

Although he only went out once in this life, Qian Yuan often traveled on business in his previous life, whether he was in the criminal police team or later went to the sea to do business, and he often went to various tourist resorts alone in his spare time, and what he saw and knew was extensive in this era.

Sun Kehong didn't feel it yet, but He Liangjun was a little surprised, it is said that Qian Yuan studied the sage books hard when he was a child, how could he know so much, but his face became strange when he heard it.

"Brother Yuan, have you been to the Qinhuai River?" He Liangjun twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Uh......" Qian Yuan coughed violently twice before realizing that he was wrong, he often went to Confucius Temple when he was a university student in Nanjing in his previous life......

Sun Kehong snickered a few times, "Brother Yuan naturally hasn't been there, he went to Nanjing Township last year to take the test, and was knocked unconscious by Xu Fan with a stick in Suzhou...... Brother Yuan, how did you know so clearly, even the direction was clear, did you have this intention? ”

Qian Yuan bowed his head with a straight face and was silent, the Confucius Temple of later generations is a general term, in this era, with the Qinhuai River as the boundary, the south is the Jiangnan Gongyuan, and it is also the examination room for Qian Yuan's future township examination, and the north is the place where the famous people of the teaching workshop gather such as the old courtyard and the pearl market.

He Liangjun thought that Qian Yuan was thin-skinned, and pulled the topic away with a smile.

"This time I went to Jiaxing, there is a Sun family boat to pick up and drop off, otherwise you can see the night boat." He Liangjun said with a smile: "There are three religions and nine streams on the ship, bachelors and literati, wealthy businessmen, and even officials who go to work or return to their hometowns, as well as ordinary people who either join or send their relatives, and there are thousands of people who are chatting and lively. ”

Sun Kehong is not interested in this kind of thing, he is Sun Chengen's old son, and he travels either by his own boat and carriage or by official ship.

However, Qian Yuan remembered an allusion from later generations, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen a night boat, but I heard a joke." ”

"Brother Yuan, let's hear it."

Qian Yuan has a good memory, and in his previous life, he liked Zhang Zongzi's articles in Shaoxing very much, and he said them word by word after recalling them for a while.

"Once upon a time, there was a monk who stayed on a night boat with a scholar. The scholars talked loudly, the monks were afraid, and they slept with their fists and feet. ”

"When the monk heard that there was a flaw in his words, he said: 'May I ask the Xianggong, is it one person or two people?' ”

"The scholar said, 'It's two people.'" ”

"The monk said, 'Is this Yao Shun one person, two people?' ”

The scholar said, "Nature is a person!" ‘

"The monk smiled and said, 'When you talk about this, wait for the little monk to stretch out his feet.' ”

At first, He Liangjun and Sun Kehong were confused, looking at each other, and when they heard the last sentence, they couldn't help but laugh wildly.

"Brother Yuan, ......" He Liangjun held his head down while holding the table, his shoulders trembling and he couldn't continue.

"I used to hear your cousin say that you are an iceman, and you look like an old master every day...... Sun Kehong covered his stomach and smiled: "Good talk, really good talk...... I really should be close to Brother Yuan as soon as possible. ”

Although they are in-laws, Qian Yuan was stubborn in the past, and he was rarely popular, and he and Sun Kehong were only nodding friends, and they didn't get closer until they met outside Jiading City a few months ago.

He Liangjun reluctantly raised his head on the table, glanced at the serious Qian Yuan, and couldn't help but bow his head and laugh again.

Yang Wen outside listened attentively and touched his head, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Do you really think you're a reader?" Zhang San habitually said: "You can't understand the jokes told by other people's readers!" ”

"All the people brought out this time are newcomers, and you don't have any helpers." Yang Wen waved his fist lightly.

"I'm afraid you won't make it!" Zhang San's mouth was very hard, but immediately turned around and went to the stern.

Yang Wen smiled, in fact, the relationship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds in the past six months, but Zhang San is still haunted by Yang Wen and beaten a few times in Ningbo at that time.

"Young master, it's time to rest." Yang Wen knocked on the door and said, "It's late at night, and I have to travel by land tomorrow." ”

Qian Yuan opened the door, turned around and smiled: "Tomorrow, don't just care about the "Female History Map", but help me say a few more good words." ”

"However, I don't have the ability to help you have a private meeting in the back garden."

"Brother Yuan'er's tone has become quite fast."

Qian Yuan pouted, anyway, he always has to sell two pounds, so he has to find a good buyer.

I am not ready to make great progress in my career, and the Xiang family of Jiaxing, which is proud of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, is naturally a first-class good buyer in terms of wealth, connections, and collections.

Lying on the bed, feeling his body swaying with the boat, Qian Yuan thought in his heart, the Xiang family is a good choice, but I don't know if the Xiang family girl has enough passing marks, so I need to find a way to meet each other.
