Day by day, the Huanying Pond is sparkling, and the grass is near the flowers. Situ Xi's face turned pink because of excitement, and Ji Linghuang still had a calm face. Yingxian remembered what she had read in the letter. The foreigner who died in the Yu country, inferred from the letter, I am afraid that he should be a messenger who went to the feudal country and desperately returned to the capital to face the king, how did he become a wanderer? …… Could it be that I misunderstood? The three of them had their own thoughts, and none of them spoke for a while. After a while, Situ Xi proposed to watch the two of them practice swords by the Huanying Pool. Where is Yingxian still calming down, and he has been thinking about the origin of the so-called 'alien' in his mind, and mistakes are frequent when practicing swords. Finally, the soft silk sword was taken by Ji Linghuang, and because the strength rebounded too much, it actually flew out of his hand. Yingxian also sat on the ground, so angry and annoyed.

A white and clean palm with distinct knuckles stretched out in front of him, and when Yingxian looked up, Situ Xi looked at him with a smile, his eyes burning like a star. His face flushed, and he didn't take his hand, struggled to stand up, and said, "It's okay, come again." Ji Linghuang put away the peachwood sword and said lightly: "Don't be disturbed by the outside world, concentrating and calming down is the key to practicing swords." Miss Wangshang will pay attention in the future, so let's stop here today. ”

Situ Xi and Ji Linghuang then said goodbye to Yingxian and left side by side. Yingxian returned to the princess's mansion in a daze. When asked Situ Su, she had heard about "strangers" from Situ Xi. Situ Su frowned and sighed: "My imperial brother is always in fun, and he is not formal in etiquette and law, he is kind and generous, and he has the style of Meng taste. What strange people or roosters and dog thieves are hidden in the palace of King Xin, who can say clearly. ”

Not long after, Yingxian found out the news from Ji Linghuang and learned that this so-called "stranger" was called Jiang Jiu'er, who had once entered the Heavenly Master Dao, but now he was still vulgar. With an ancient painting that he didn't know where to get and a clever mouth that can speak, he quickly won Situ Xi's favor and stayed in the Xinwang Mansion to listen to it. After more than half a month, Yingxian asked about Situ Xi's current situation, but a trace of worry appeared on Ji Linghuang's face. Under Yingxian's questioning, he finally said: "Then Jiang Jiu'er introduced two more people into the Xinwang Mansion. Now His Royal Highness is with the three of them all day long, thinking of ways to have fun all day long, which is becoming more and more unprofessional......"

*****

It turned out that Ji Linghuang and Situ Xi returned to King Xin's Mansion that day and saw the so-called "stranger" Jiang Jiu'er. This man was in his thirties, seven feet tall, and very handsome, but his face was full of dust and drifting. Situ Xi said deliberately: "Jiang Jiu'er, although you have interpreted this letter, I did not offer a reward at the beginning. The content of the letter also seems irrelevant. However, you have no merit and hard work. Take all this silver and go home. ”

Jiang Jiu'er bowed down and said, "The wandering person thanked His Highness, and he should have left on his own." However, I happened to hear Fu Yin say that His Royal Highness loves calligraphy and painting. The villain was coincidental in the past and got a picture of "Xiao Shitu" by Lu Tanwei of the Southern Dynasty. If His Highness does not dislike it, he is willing to offer it to His Highness to show his admiration. ”

Situ Xi laughed and said, "Lu Tanwei's paintings? No way! Although Lu Tanwei was listed as the top grade by Xie He in the "Catalogue of Ancient Paintings", which is the most important painter in the past, his works have long been lost. How could you possibly have his paintings? Even in my father's palace, there is only a copy of the Tang Dynasty, which is extremely precious. ”

Jiang Jiu'er snorted slightly: "Your Highness allows me to go home for a while, and when I get it back, I can present it to His Highness." ”

Half an hour later, Jiang Jiu'er came to Situ Xi's mansion again and presented his "Xiao Shitu". The paper rolls are yellow and old, and the stamps are unrecognizable, but the people in the painting are delicate and clear, and their faces are as thin as a knife carving. The wind blows the flute, and the brushwork is continuous, as if it is painted with one stroke, which is extremely vivid and elegant. The painting is superb. Situ Xi was naturally knowledgeable, and when he saw it, he was shocked, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...... Where did you get that from? ”

"When the villain traveled all over the world, he once stayed at the house of a painter surnamed Chen. That night, a thief sneaked into Chen's house and wanted to steal, but was discovered by Chen's painter. The thief has a guy in his hand, and when the matter is revealed, he wants to kill Chen Painter, his wife and his young son. The villain was sleeping in the guest room at the time, and when he heard the sound of fighting, he quietly took a knife from the kitchen, and when he was unprepared, he saw that the man was slashed on the back. The gangster was wounded and eventually fled. Guess who this person is? But it is a friend of Chen Painter. It turned out that after getting drunk one day, Chen Huashi inadvertently revealed that he had Lu Tanwei's true works, and this person had a bad heart. In order to repay me, and fearing that leaving this painting in his house would eventually cause trouble, he simply gave me this family heirloom and told me the origin of this painting. ”

"Oh? What is the origin? Let's hear about it. Situ Xi urged excitedly.

Jiang Jiu'er said unhurriedly: "In the past, Tang Taizong loved calligraphy and painting, and he once collected famous paintings from all over the world into the library. When Empress Zetian was in power, her male favorite Zhang Yizhi summoned the world's painters to overhaul the famous paintings in the inner library. Zhang Yizhi is not only a beautiful man with a face like a lotus like his younger brother, but also a vassal elegance. He asked the painters to use their talents to depict famous paintings, only to have many of the originals in his possession. Has Your Highness ever heard of this? ”

"Haha, that's good. Later, Zhang Yizhi was killed, and those paintings fell into the hands of the calligrapher and painter Xue Ji. After Xue Ji's death, Xuanzong's younger brother, Li Fan, the king of Qi, obtained these authentic works again. However, Li Fan hid and did not show Xuanzong. Later, I probably felt scared, so I burned some of the paintings. As for the rest, even if they later returned to the Dragon Court, they were all lost during the Anshi Rebellion. ”

Jiang Jiu'er smiled and said: "Your Highness is well-read and knowledgeable, which makes the villain admire. Coincidentally, the ancestor of the painter Chen I rescued was a guest at Li Fan's house. When he happened to see Li Fan burning ancient paintings, his heart ached, so he risked his life to steal a few and hide them. Among them, only this "Xiao Shitu" has been passed down from generation to generation and has been passed down to the painter. If it weren't for the villain who saved his family's life, how could he be willing to give this priceless treasure? ”

When Situ Xi heard this, he carefully examined this "Xiao Shitu" again, and muttered: "Good painting!" Good drawing! 'Before and after pregnancy, ancient and modern independence'. Lu Tanwei really lived up to his reputation. staring at "Xiao Shitu", he refused to take his eyes off. With a look of fascination, Ji Linghuang, who had been standing aside for a long time, frowned.

Jiang Jiu'er coughed twice, and Situ Xifang came back to his senses. Jiang Jiu'er said again: "Thanks to His Royal Highness's love, the villain is very honored. This picture is dedicated to His Highness, please do not refuse. ”

Situ Xi shook his head and said, "This is a gift from Chen Huashi to thank you for saving your life, how can I take it for myself?" It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate. Having said that, his eyes are still fixed on the person in the painting, and there is a great sense of reluctance.

Jiang Jiu'er hurriedly said: "Since ancient times, swords have been matched with heroes, and red powder has been given to beautiful women. Everything in the world wants to 'get what it is'. Although the villain is also a little familiar with Danqing, his painting skills are clumsy and his status is low, how can he privately rely on this treasure? Looking at the entire Yu country, I am afraid that only His Royal Highness deserves to have this picture. If His Highness refuses today, wouldn't it be a great pity if the villain couldn't protect the painting and fell into the hands of the traitor? ”

Situ Xi pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay." I'll keep it for you for the time being. However, whether this picture is genuine or not still needs to be clarified. That's right...... You say you can draw? ”

"Calligraphy and painting, but only a little bit of it."

Situ Xi's eyes lit up: "It's rare." Talented people can't be buried. So be it. You can stay in my house and take up a position for the first time. If there is anything you need to do in the future, we will let you know. ”

Jiang Jiu'er knelt down and said with a smile when she heard this: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”.

Since Jiang Jiu'er entered the Xinwang Mansion, he has changed his way to play with Situ Xi. Painting today, playing tomorrow, you are traveling, Situ Xi has already left the rest of the affairs behind. Within half a month, Jiang Jiu'er mentioned that there were still two old friends among the people, one could play and sing everything, and the other was familiar with various ancient court and folk games. Situ Xi's head was hot, so he simply called all of them to King Xin's mansion. One of these two people is called Zi'an and the other is Tong Qi, both of whom are from humble backgrounds, but they are both good at observing words and feelings. Before and after the saddle, he was diligent and neat, coupled with endless play tricks, and he won Situ Xi's favor again. What kind of juju, cockfighting, pitching pot, shooting, hiding hook, Shuanglu, and nine wins, Situ Xi pulled his subordinates to play all over again. The huge palace of the king of faith has unknowingly become a playground.

The three of them spent all day and wine in the palace of King Xin, and they were favored. When the people in the house saw it, they didn't show respect and goodwill, and the three of them were even more arrogant. One day, Jiang Jiu'er said again: "Your Highness, I see that the Shuxiao Pavilion in the Xinwang Mansion is very majestic, and it would be wonderful if it could be rebuilt into the 'Night Tour Pavilion'." ”

Shuxiao Pavilion was originally a six-story wooden attic in King Xin's mansion. The carved painting column, the wing horns are flying, and there are strings of golden bells hung, which is very royal style. It is a place for the house to climb high and look far away, and stretch its arms. When Situ Xi heard this, he asked with great interest, "Xiaoyou Pavilion?" What's the trick? ”

Jiang Jiu'er smiled mysteriously, leaned into Situ Xi's ear, and said something.
