Chapter 38: The Arrogant

Hu Chang and Kong Baishu were shocked even more than Wen Xian, Kong Baishu didn't expect this kid to really have such talent, not only did he never see this painting method, but even this poem was so good, compared to his painting, his painting was not even a fart, as for the words inscribed on the side, it made him, the so-called president of the Deyun Poetry Society, so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground.

Hu Chang regretted it so much that he wanted to smoke himself, it turned out that this kid was so good at painting, but he still pretended to be like this, but in the end he was still in the limelight. Hu Qing poked her head out from the side, and exclaimed with a single glance, her hands covered her red lips and her eyes were incredible, this painting was better than Kong Bai's calligraphy and painting of hers, and now she had only one thought in her mind: This thief actually has such talent?

Zhang Ling's trio is even more unbearable, after a glance, they have sneaked to the back of the people, they are now completely convinced of Xu Zizhen, they are completely unqualified to compare such paintings, Zhang Ling They know very well that with their own level, they are afraid that they are no longer qualified to grind ink for others.

Sketching has naturally not appeared in this era, and Xu Zizhen is a master who is used to picking up girls, this kind of work is familiar to him, although the charcoal is not very handy, but it also shook everyone present, but his mind is not here today, he is too lazy to worry about them, just smiled faintly at Wen Xian: "Miss, this painting is for you." ”

Wen Xian was still stunned, and suddenly came back to her senses when she heard the words: "Send me?" It's true? Let her be cold and arrogant, but she has long been impressed by the subtlety of this painting, and now when she heard Xu Zizhen say that it was given to her, she was overjoyed in her heart, but she was indifferent by nature, and her joy and anger were not easy to float on the surface, and she quickly collected her mind and just nodded slightly.

Xu Zizhen keenly captured the surprise that flashed in Wen Xian's eyes, and at that moment he thought of Rong Xi for no reason, when he gave the first bottle of mascara to Rong Xi that night, she also had such a look in her eyes, remembering the words that Rong Xi said to himself last night, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Gu Zhongchen took a deep breath in shock, turned to Xu Zizhen and gave him a deep look: "Brother Xu's talent is really true, Zhongchen is convinced!" ”

Xu Zizhen smiled: "Gu Gongzi is serious, I can only be regarded as a strange trick, and I can't get on the stage." ”

"This ......" Gu Zhongchen was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, didn't the name of the number one talent on his head rely on these strange tricks?

Xu Zizhen suddenly looked at him, and said: "Gu Gongzi, in my opinion, the so-called great talent does not necessarily have the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, but at least it needs to be mindful of the world, can know the suffering of the people, and the lives of people in troubled times are like mustard, and poetry and songs can withstand the retreat of millions of heroes and invaders?" Can qin, chess, calligraphy and painting allow people not to have to be displaced and sell their children? ”

He paused and said, "What is a great talent?" If Ling's grandfather Master Gu is a great talent, his old man is full of peach and plums all over the world, and now he is old and rare and is bent on looking for good talents for the country, like me, who can make a few crooked poems and paint a few broken paintings, hum! It's a bullshit talent, it's just a matter of eating dry rice for nothing. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he exhaled a long breath, as if he had been holding out a breath that had been held for a long time, and then smiled at Gu Zhongchen: "I just complained, I didn't mean to target you at all, Brother Gu is not strange." ”

Gu Zhongchen had already opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer, but he just shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Don't dare, what Brother Xu said is very true, Zhongchen is taught!" ”

The Great Song Dynasty values literature over martial arts, Xu Zizhen's words are like a huge stone thrown into the pond, Gu Zhongchen can accept it with an open mind, Kong Baishu, Hu Chang and others have not recovered from the shock, but the scholars who are watching from a distance are in an uproar, and some people even couldn't hold back at that time and shouted one after another.

"Arrogant people, don't you know that my Great Song Dynasty rules the world with literature, if he says the law, can those illiterate people also be called great talents?"

"Exactly, this is ridiculous!"

"Who is this? How rampant is this? ”

Xu Zizhen listened to them one by one, but he was too lazy to be knowledgeable with those people, when the Jin Kingdom called, and the Northern Song Dynasty became the Southern Song Dynasty, you will know that Lu Daoguang has a bird for reading! Oh yes, they are afraid that they will not wake up by then, otherwise there would not be the eternal quatrain, "Outside the mountain, Qingshan Lou, when will the West Lake sing and dance; The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and makes Hangzhou Bianzhou. "That's it.

At this moment, Xu Zizhen suddenly felt that he was in a hurry, what a talented and beautiful woman in the Cloud Society, he didn't want to pay attention to it at all, these scholars were full of elegance, and they didn't realize how cruel the war was, and last night's dream appeared repeatedly in front of his eyes, so that he was almost out of breath.

He sighed lightly: "Miss, let's go back." ”

Wen Xian was about to say something, but keenly noticed a gloomy look in Xu Zizhen's eyes, and was stunned for a moment, in her impression, Xu Zizhen was a scoundrel who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but now she seemed to have a very heavy mind in her heart, nodded at the moment, bowed to Kong Baishu, and said lightly: "Master Kong, there are still some trivial matters at home, so I will leave first." ”

"Huh?" Kong Baishu couldn't understand it, Xu Zizhen was just a small family, even if he had some talent, but Wen Xian was his master after all, so he would follow him obediently?

Wen Xian didn't say anything more, nodded to everyone as a greeting, and then turned around and left with dark green and got into the car, Xu Zizhen didn't bother to pay attention to others, only bowed to Gu Zhongchen, and followed Wen Xian, just arrived at the car, but heard Wen Xian say to the coachman: "Leave him some space." ”

Xu Zizhen sat in the car without saying a word, just looked at the sky quietly, let the wheels roll forward, I don't know what Lu Dao was thinking, the curtain of the carriage swayed gently with the shaking of the car, Wen Xian looked at Xu Zizhen's back through the gap in the curtain, and all kinds of feelings came to her heart: this person is really unpredictable, sometimes arrogant and sometimes scoundrel, but there is a sudden surprise and brilliance, he ...... What kind of person is he?

Dark Green opened a pair of big black eyes, looked at Xu Zizhen and then looked at Wen Xian, both of them looked pensive, and couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing secretly: This Xu Zizhen is so interesting, it actually made Miss also think.

Xu Zizhen didn't know that Wen Xian was peeking at him behind him, he was now only thinking about that tangled question, if Jin Guo came to attack, would he borrow the knowledge of his later generations to contribute to the country, or would An An hide in Jiangnan to be his ordinary people, to be honest, with his temperament, he would never want to participate in things that had nothing to do with him, but Rong Xi's cold eyes and the dream last night were tugging at his heart all the time.

Suddenly, he inadvertently looked up, and found that the car had returned to the city, there was a house not far ahead, the red wall and blue tile atmosphere were extraordinary, and there were two huge stone lions outside the gate with hideous faces, and there was a plaque hanging on the door, with three golden characters on it - Staying in the house.

Xu Zizhen was stunned: Huh? Staying behind? Isn't that Kong Baishu's father's territory? It turned out to be here, and I don't know if there is a way to sneak in and take a look.

……

Just when Xu Zizhen passed by the door, it was quiet in the hall of the mansion, there was a young noble son in brocade clothes and jade belt sitting on the main seat of the hall, and a middle-aged official was sitting on the front of the house, it was the owner of this mansion, the master of Kong Qilin Kong who stayed on Jiangnan East Road.

There is a middle-aged man in a green coat and a small hat standing in front of your son, if Xu Zizhen is here, he will definitely recognize it at a glance, this person is Hu Sihai who escaped from the boat that day, but today he completely lost the arrogance and domineering when he faced Xu Zizhen, but stood there with his head bowed, and he didn't dare to make a loud noise.

"In two days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival." The noble boy played with a jade wrench on his thumb and said lightly, "The deadline for my uncle over there is the first day of the ninth month, that is, there is more than half a month, you say, what should I do if I can't deliver the goods at that time?" ”

His tone was very peaceful, and he couldn't hear a trace of anger at all, but Hu Sihai knew very well that the more his master spoke calmly, the deeper the anger in his heart, he knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "This time it is indeed the negligence of his subordinates, please punish the master!" ”

The noble prince did not raise his eyelids: "Punishment? If you are punished, will there be fifty Jiangnan women? Of the twenty soldiers I brought to you from the capital, how many are left now? ”

Hu Sihai only felt a layer of cold sweat gradually oozing on his forehead, and reluctantly replied: "It's still ...... There are eight left. ”

"Well, eight." Gui Gongzi couldn't see joy or anger on his face, he just nodded slightly, and suddenly asked, "What is the name of the person you said about bad me?" ”

As soon as he thought of that strange figure, Hu Sihai couldn't help but have a cold light flashing in his eyes, gritted his teeth and replied: "Back to the master, this person's name is Xu Zizhen!" ”

"He's Wen Chengyan's person, right?"

"Yes!"

Gui Gongzi finally raised his head and said lightly: "Sihai, you have been following me for many years, don't you think you need me to teach you how to do it anymore?" ”

Hu Sihai clenched his fists with both hands, raised his head and said resolutely: "Master, please rest assured, your subordinates know what to do!" ”

Gui Gongzi waved his hand: "Well, go ahead, give you three more days." ”

After Hu Sihai left, the noble prince smiled at Kong Qilin: "Master Kong, you and I are our own people, why are you so restrained?" ”

Kong Qilin laughed dryly, said yes again and again, and then asked in a low voice: "Childe, I don't know what the adults have to say this time?" ”

The noble prince shook his head: "There is nothing else, it's just that the number of fifty people that the master in the north wants must be done quickly." ”

Kong Qilin smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Wen Chengyan is pedantic, and recently he has sent more people to patrol around, if you want to make up for these numbers in this short period of time, I am afraid it will be ......."

The noble prince waved his hand: "Wen Chengyan is not three-headed and six-armed, how many things can he manage?" After that, he glanced at Kong Qilin with a smile.

Kong Qilin understood after a slight thought, and immediately nodded and smiled: "I understand the humble position!" ”

The noble prince smiled slightly: "It's good to understand, without further ado, Master Kong will go." After speaking, he lowered his eyelids and played with the jade wrench.
