The sun is warm, the sky is blue, a river breeze blows, and the sparkling water ripples.

Gu Yanzhong held a painting in his hand, standing on the state bridge, his eyes staring at the direction of the Xuande Gate of the Imperial City. Occasionally, he also looked at the prosperity of the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and by the way, calmed down the restless mood in his heart.

Bianliang, the capital city of the Northern Song Dynasty, is composed of three parts: the outer city, the inner city, and the palace city.

The outermost city is called the outer city, and there is a city called the inner city inside the outer city, and the inner city is also called the "inner city", and there is a palace city in the inner city, also known as the "imperial city".

The triple city wall is like three large, medium and small rectangles set together.

The smallest rectangle is the imperial city, and the imperial city is the place where the emperor sits as the name suggests, which is equivalent to the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is equivalent to the three rings in modern times.

This area outside the imperial city is a medium rectangle called the inner city, and the inner city is about the fourth ring and the fifth ring.

The area enclosed by the outermost large rectangle is the outer city, and this outer city is the sixth and seventh rings.

The three walls of each city were divided into gates, and the main streets of the city led to each gate.

The three superimposed cities were connected by gates to the outer city, the inner city, and the streets of the imperial city.

The outer city has a Nanxun Gate, which is the main passage into Bianliang City. A short walk north through the South Kaoru Gate is due south of the inner city.

Directly south of the inner city, there is a city gate called Suzaku Gate, and to the north of Suzaku Gate is a wide royal road that leads directly to the Xuande Gate of the imperial city.

The state bridge is located in the middle of the Suzaku Gate and the Xuande Building, and it will not take long to walk north along this royal road from the Xuande Gate of the imperial city.

The north and south of the state bridge are the heavenly streets, and the bustling crowds shuttle on the heavenly streets.

The sun slowly moved high in the sky, Gu Yanzhong looked at the sky, frowned, and estimated in his heart that it should be almost noon.

He looked at Xuande Gate again. During this time period, Gu Yanzhong had already come to observe several times.

He was very sure that after Zhang Dian went down to the court, he would come out of the Xuande Gate, and the royal road in front of him all the way to the state bridge was the only way for him to go home.

Gu Yanzhong cushioned his feet and looked into the distance.

I saw two rows of vermilion lacquer sticks neatly arranged in the middle of the road, dividing the royal road into three parallel roads.

This branch is like a separation pier on a modern urban street, and the three parallel roads are also like the fast and slow lanes or sidewalks of modern cities.

In the middle of the three roads is the special road of the imperial chariot, and the inside of the vermilion lacquer branch is also built with bricks and stones.

The four lanes are planted with colorful flowers and plants according to the four seasons, and the two sides of the vermilion lacquer branches are the roads that the people walk.

On both sides of the road, there are various fruit trees such as peach, plum, pear, and apricot, which bloom with colorful flowers or bear abundant fruits in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Sure enough, at the beginning of noon, the officials came out of Xuande Gate one after another.

Gu Yanzhong's eyes lit up, a man in his sixties, at a glance, it should be Zhang Dian, and he was followed by a small guy.

Gu Yanzhong has seen him follow him out of Zhang Dan's mansion in the past few days, Zhang Duan is sitting in a sedan chair, the little guy is walking, Gu Yanzhong has not seen Zhang Dan well, but this little guy Gu Yanzhong is familiar with it every day.

Gu Yan was very happy in the center, but his face pretended to be calm.

To be honest, what does Zhang Dian look like, he has been following him for a long time, Gu Yanzhong has not seen what Zhang Dian looks like up close, but he roughly knows what he looks like, and he looks about sixty years old.

However, this is enough for him, even if he doesn't know him, with Zhang Dan's style, there are few people in the capital who can overpower him.

After Zhang Duan came out, he was usually followed by this little guy.

This little guy can't be mistaken, because he has a black mole on the back of his hand.

Gu Yanzhong's eyes narrowed, staring at the man, still a little unconvinced. He looked again, his clothes.

I saw that he was wearing a purple sleeveless gown, with a round collar at the top, a horizontal hem, and a long-winged hat on his head.

In ancient times, there were clear hierarchies, and officials and ordinary people had strict requirements for dress, but looking at his dress, you can know that he is at least above the third grade.

Gu Yanzhong looked at Zhang Dian intently, he was still a little uncertain before, but now looking at his outfit, he secretly decided in his heart: It should be him.

Suddenly, a child rushed to meet him and accidentally bumped into him. He subconsciously raised his hand and put down the winged hat on his head.

Gu Yanxin thought: This long-winged hat is a hat worn by officials of all sizes in the Song Dynasty.

As the name suggests, this long-winged hat has two long wings protruding from the ears on the left and right sides of the hat. The long wings are made of iron sheets and bamboo strips as skeletons. The iron wings on each side of a hat are more than a foot long (which will get longer and longer).

This kind of hat must be worn except for official activities in the court and officialdom, and it is not worn on ordinary occasions. Because wearing it, it is extremely inconvenient to walk on the street.

The long-winged hat is the masterpiece of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty.

After he sat on the dragon chair, he was very worried about the colleagues who broke into the world together. I especially hate the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court, talking to each other and commenting on the government.

So he came up with this method, and the subordinate officials added long wings to the back of the veil hat. With it on, officials can only talk face-to-face, and it is difficult to sit side by side to talk.

Since then, it has been difficult for the ministers to go to the court, and it will be difficult to line up and talk to each other, which will affect the seriousness of the court.

Gu Yanzhong looked at Zhang Dan's eyes and narrowed his eyes, and he thought to himself: I must immediately attract his attention. It seems that it is necessary to use the marketing methods of the 21st century.

Gu Yanzhong walked down the street and shouted loudly. "Sell paintings, sell paintings, and have an ancestral famous painting."

He shouted and suddenly remembered the words that Guanyin Niangniang gave to Tang Seng in the Journey to the West, "Hehe! A wicked smile flashed across his face.

Journey to the West is a novel of the Ming Dynasty, and I am now in the Song Dynasty, even if I plagiarize him, Wu Chengen has no way to cross over and sue me for plagiarism!

He cleared his throat and shouted louder, "Sell paintings, sell paintings." The price of those who can know this painting is negotiable, and if they don't know this painting, they will not sell it for a large amount of money. ”

After Gu Yanzhong screamed like this a few times, the people around him rushed up.

Gu Yanzhong took a look, there are so many people, you have surrounded me, and I can't see the person I am waiting for for a while, not putting the cart before the horse.

There were more and more people, Gu Yanzhong took a few steps back, and when he saw the man coming slowly, he shouted loudly: "Sell paintings, sell paintings, a famous ancestral painting, the price of those who can know this painting is negotiable, if you don't know this painting, you won't sell it for a lot of money." ”

The man slowly walked towards Gu Yanzhong, revealing a hint of modesty under the strong official flavor.

Gu Yan was secretly proud in the center, he must be interested in the painting in his hand. He shouted in a louder voice: "An ancestral famous painting, "Han Xizai's Night Banquet Picture"! ”

Gu Yanzhong was stunned for a moment when he saw that person hearing "Han Xizai's Night Banquet Map", he was really fooled.

The man gave the little guy a look, and the little guy came over and asked Gu Yanzhong and said, "Eh! What is in your hands? The lord has something to ask you. ”

Gu Yanzhong looked at the little guy, his eyes were staring at his hand, there was indeed a black mole on the little guy's hand. He exhaled softly, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated.

He quickly stepped down from the stone and walked towards the man, who looked at him carefully again, and now he believed that the man was Zhang Dian.

Gu Yanzhong bowed in front of him and said respectfully: "This lord, I have an ancestral famous painting, would you like to see it?" ”

The man touched his beard and looked at Gu Yanzhong, and asked, "This son, what is the famous painting?" ”

Gu Yanzhong looked at his eyes staring intently at the painting in his arms, and said with great confidence: "Gu Hongzhong's "Han Xizai's Night Banquet Picture". ”

Gu Yanzhong buried his head as he spoke, his voice pretended to be low, and he glanced at the man out of the corner of his eye.

When the man heard this, he showed a look of surprise for an instant, then returned to his normal demeanor, frowned slightly, and asked, "How do you prove that this painting is genuine, and not a copy?" ”

When Gu Yanzhong heard this, he was sure in his heart that the person in front of him was Zhang Dan.

First, the man said that he would give the painting to Zhang. Now that Zhang Dian has obtained an authentic painting, half a month later, since someone on the street is openly selling the same painting, no matter who it is, it will be suspicious.

Second, if ordinary people buy something, they will ask the price first. Instead, he asked how to prove that it was genuine, and where did the painting come from. It is clear that he is not concerned about money, but about the authenticity and origin of the painting.

Gu Yanxin secretly thought: I won't be in a hurry to answer him first, let him be anxious for a while, so that it can be true.

He said unhurriedly, "Oh? My lord, how do you prove that the painting in my hand is not real? ”

The man hesitated.

Gu Yanzhong said again: "My lord, before you came just now, when the villain was selling on the street, he said: The price of those who can know this painting is negotiable, and those who don't know this painting will not sell it for a long time." ”

"Oh?" The man looked at Gu Yanzhong very curiously and asked, "Aren't you selling paintings just for a good price?" How do you know that the price of this painting is negotiable, and why is that? ”

Gu Yanzhong lowered his head, his voice was low, a trace of sadness flashed on his face, and said: "The adults don't know, the villain's family has encountered an accident, if it is not a last resort, the villain will not make such a decision." ”

Gu Yanzhong paused and said generously and forcefully: "Even so, even if it is in such a deplorable situation, I want this painting to fall into the hands of people who know how to paint and cherish it." ”

The man nodded, stroked his beard, and said, "Open this painting and let me see it!" ”

When Gu Yanzhong heard this, he was secretly proud in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and said on his face: "There are many people here, and I am afraid that it will not be good if my ancestral famous painting is unintentionally damaged." Why don't we go down the bridge to the teahouse by the river and sit down and take a slow look, what do you think? ”

The man glanced back at the teahouses on both sides of the Bianhe River, then looked at Gu Yanzhong and said, "There are many people in the teahouse, you follow me home, tell me about this painting, if the transaction is successful, I will take the silver to you by the way." ”

Gu Yan was shocked, this is exactly what I want. The corner of his mouth smiled slightly, and said, "That little one is better than obeying his fate." ”

The man glanced at Gu Yanzhong again and said, "Looking at your personable appearance, you don't look like ordinary people's children." How much money do you want to sell for this painting? ”

"Adults have won awards, and adults will take a look at the paintings first when they go to the house." Gu Yan was secretly smug in the center, it doesn't matter how much this painting costs, the important thing is that I waited for someone to wait.

Gu Yanzhong followed the man to a mansion, looked up, and it read: Zeng Mansion.

Gu Yanzhong was stunned, how did he come here?

Gu Yanzhong looked at the words "Zeng Fu" on the door, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.

He looked at the little guy again, this is indeed Zhang Dan's little guy!

Gu Yan Center is seven up and eight down, this is not Zhang Dan's house, where is this? If you sell a painting to someone else, what is the use of the painting, and what can you use to attract it? Why is his little guy here?

Gu Yan Center was beating wildly, like countless little mice scratching their hearts.

Before he could react to what was going on, suddenly, someone hurriedly ran out and saluted the old man.

Master Zeng looked at the people in his house, pointed to the little servant and said, "There is a notebook on the table in my study, you take him to my study to get it, and then go to the account room to receive the reward." ”

After Master Zeng finished speaking, he looked at the little guy and said, "This calligraphy is the beloved thing of Lord Zhang, don't lose it, follow it." ”

When Gu Yanzhong heard this, his whole heart completely collapsed.

Master Zeng turned his head and saw that Gu Yanzhong was still standing on the street, and said, "Come in with me." ”

"My lord, you go first, my little feet are a little numb, maybe I've been standing on the street for a long time just now." Gu Yanzhong couldn't laugh or cry, and added, "The villain will come later." ”

Gu Yanzhong stood in place, in a dilemma, if this person was not Zhang Dan, why did he care so much about the authenticity of this painting?

Gu Yanxin thought: It's better to wait for this Zeng master to turn around, and I will run away, anyway, he can't catch me.

Even if this Zeng master caught me, I told him directly, I don't sell this painting anymore. What can I do?

Then, I found a place to hide, followed Zhang's little servant to Zhang's mansion, and then tried to let him see me.
