Chapter 81: The Master (I)

After the affairs of the painting academy had a complicated development, Chu Feng really started his 9-to-5 work life.

It may be inappropriate to say that 9 to 5 is a bit inappropriate, because according to the habit of today's era, every morning is to be lit and the afternoon is closed.

It is equivalent to five o'clock in the morning in later generations, and it is just summer time, and the sky is already a lot around five o'clock. But if you really wait until the cold winter of the ninth count, I am afraid that you will light the lantern and move forward in the dark night, and if you encounter wind and snow again, it will not be an easy errand.

Fortunately, it is also early in the afternoon, if there is nothing urgent, you can go home at three o'clock, or everyone goes out to play, it is also a good choice.

The long first day in the academy ended with a few awkward words from Bai Yuhou.

In fact, if it was really according to the arrangement of Wang Xuezheng's faction, if Chu Feng did not take the initiative to resign because of the matter of Tingfeng Tang, instead of relying on the painting academy, the next thing they had to do was to give him small shoes to wear on ordinary days, and further persecute him.

It was precisely because of this that Chu Feng was arranged to work beside Bai Yihou.

Zhang Fengzhi went to find the art of the Shanshui Academy, said a few words, and lightly pointed out some things.

Zhao Yixue had naturally heard about the things that happened in the morning, and at this time, he couldn't help but look at him a few times in confusion, thinking about what kind of wind this guy was smoking, and suddenly openly arguing with Wang Xuezheng like this, whether he didn't know the severity of it, or if he had other plans, I am afraid that he would not be able to figure it out for a while.

But in any case, the Shanshui Academy itself is under the influence of Wang Xuezheng's faction, and Zhang Fengzhi can only briefly point out his attitude. It's so hard to really want to change anything.

Zhao Yixue can be regarded as giving Zhang Fengzhi face. accompanied him to meet Chu Feng and Bai Yihou, and said something with a smile. It can be regarded as an expression of his own attitude.

Zhang Fengzhi is waiting to be recruited, and the art of the Shanshui Academy is one level higher than him, so what he can do now is nothing more than that.

After the matter was over, Xiao Ting said that he wanted to invite Zhang Fengzhi to have a drink, but the latter only said that there was something at home, so he politely refused.

At the end of this long day, Xiao Ting's mind was also a little messy, and he was not in his best state. The social skills can't be used, and such a refusal is also a relaxing choice for him.

So he set up a small gathering in the future, Xiao Ting said that there was a new girl in his family, and her singing voice was beautiful, but she still owed some training, so her voice seemed coarse. Now that I have invited some masters to give lectures, I will definitely invite Zhang Fengzhi and Chu Feng to listen to the music in a few days.

Chu Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Is it the girl in the small wine shop before?" Xiao Ting smiled and nodded, a faint brilliance crossed his eyes.

Chu Feng knew it in his heart, and said "expectation" with a smile. So they said goodbye one by one and went home.

In the carriage, Brother Zhang asked about the things in the painting academy. Chu Fengzhi smiled and said that everything was in order, nothing special, and picked a few interesting things to talk to the characters. It's as casual as it gets.

Of course, there are some questions in my mind, these things that I am involved in. Of course, Chu Feng himself didn't like it, and he didn't have any intention of fighting for power. It's just that since I'm in it, there will probably be some feeling of "people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes", and there are some things that can't be broken free.

Fortunately, there is a big background behind him, many people are guessing about Huizong, many people are tempting, and many people are not clear, but fortunately, for him, to what extent should he be handled, how much he should pretend to be stupid, and occasionally when he reaches what extreme, he can use it a little, this is what he has been thinking about in the carriage.

These things are rarely accessible to him, but now that he has encountered them, others have attacked, and he can't blindly avoid them, hang up the war-free card or something, it will inevitably not work.

Chu Feng's character is like this, he doesn't run away when he encounters it, even if he has never experienced it and is not good at it, but he will always do what he should do, and he will naturally think about the treatment plan that should come to mind......

When he returned home, the sunset hung obliquely, but he was stopped by a person in front of the alley where Lu Fu was located, saying that there was someone waiting next to him, Chu Feng lifted the curtain and took a look, and felt that the carriage in the corner was a little familiar, and his heart couldn't help but move.

It just so happened that at this time, the other party also lifted the curtain of the car, revealing half of his face, it turned out to be Ma Gonggong himself, and at this time he waved at Chu Feng with a smile.

Chu Feng hurriedly got out of the car to salute and greet him, Gonggong Ma sat in the car and looked at Chu Feng, then looked at Chu Feng's right hand, which was still bandaging, and asked for warmth.

"Since Grandpa Ma is here, why don't you go and sit inside?" Chu Feng asked knowingly when he said this.

Anyway, after all, Mr. Wen Duan used to serve in the court, and although Mr. Wen Duan was not familiar with the eunuchs in the palace, he would probably still be familiar with those who often walked around Huizong.

Although Ma Gonggong has been enveloping Chu Feng recently, sending some things over from time to time, and even visiting Chu Feng, he has never met with Mr. Wen Duan.

The reason for this is naturally because he has already made an inquiry, and every time he waits until Mr. Wen Duan is not at home, he will come to visit, or directly invite Chu Feng to some restaurant, and only find a small box to say a few words.

"There is an urgent matter this time, my family Ah Lang is waiting to see you." Because of the accumulation of smiles, Ma Gonggong's eyes narrowed into two slits, "Come on with me!" ”

Chu Feng naturally wouldn't shirk it, nodded his head, and said, "Please wait a while, Gonggong Ma, I'll tell the family." ”

After that, he turned around and explained the situation to Brother Zhang, and then pedaled the car and walked with Ma Gonggong.

"Did you go to the art academy today? Is the environment okay over there? Did you arrange for a follower? ”

The carriage rolled and went, and Ma Gonggong asked with a smile and a concerned look in his eyes.

"It's arranged, follow a white waiter to work." Chu Feng smiled slightly, "I'm still making up for it, it's a bit embarrassing." Fortunately, the official family was gracious, and I was rewarded with the title of 'examination to be determined', although I will have to be assessed again later, but after all, I have now served in the art academy, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of one of my wishes. ”

Ma Gonggong smiled: "I originally thought that you were just a small pilgrimage in a calligraphy and painting shop, and you probably had some connoisseurship. I can fill in the words again, and I have some talent. I never thought that he was also a good Danqing. Why didn't you say it when you were in Fan Lou before, and then this matter spread. I heard how you went to the art academy, and my Ah Lang only knew. Oh, he also complained to me, saying that the old slave didn't probe carefully enough. ”

Chu Feng couldn't help scratching his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "My painting skills are ...... It's really not worth mentioning in front of the nobles, how dare you say anything, isn't that the axe in front of Luban's door? ”

"That's not what I said, how old are you, and you still have a lot of time to hone your skills." Ma Gonggong shook his head and smiled.

Chu Feng smiled and spread his hands: "Father-in-law, you are laughing at me." If I hadn't gone to the academy today, I might have admitted it. But this morning, I saw the top of our Shanshui Division...... Ay! At the age of eleven, he actually won the first place in the landscape department, which is the real teenager's promise. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Ma Gonggong was also stunned when he heard this, he probably asked about the situation in the entire painting exam, but he didn't know the age of these people at that time. It's just that he is a little famous in Tokyo, and a genius boy like Chu Cai, who came out of nowhere, really can't figure out his age for a while.

But at this point, Ma Gonggong's heart moved. He had always known Huizong's preferences. Just like Chu Feng, a young but talented guy, he is the person that Huizong likes to stay by. If the same is true for the top of the Shanshui Branch...... I'm afraid that he is more talented than Chu Feng, and he should indeed find out a thing or two.

"I wonder whose boy is at the top of the list?" Ma Gonggong asked.

"The one called Chu Cai seems to be from Hejian Mansion."

"Is your surname Chu too?" Ma Gonggong said with a smile. "Could it be that you have something to do with you?"

"That's not true," Chu Feng shook his head with a smile, and couldn't help but think of Chu Cai's pen and ink he saw this morning. I couldn't help but admire, "It's really talented." I can't compare. ”

Ma Gong said fairly: "Chu Lang is just too humble. Although the old slave had never seen the painting of that one, the old slave guessed. If it weren't for something like that that in the scientific research field at that time, the top of this landscape science department, I'm afraid I don't know who killed the deer! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Chu Feng responded with a smile.

The wheels were rolling, all the way to the north, and after stopping, Chu Feng looked out the window and found that the building not far away was a little familiar.

"That's Fan Lou over there, this is a street behind Fan Lou, it's more elegant and clean than that side." Ma Gonggong explained with a smile and got out of the carriage with Chu Feng.

Led Chu Feng to the alley, Chu Feng looked around, and saw that these were all residences with independent courtyards, although the courtyards were not large, but they were all high walls and wide doors, which completely covered all kinds of inside, and paid great attention to privacy.

The alley is deserted, or maybe it's just the light of day. The doors of the houses were closed, and the lanterns in front of the doors were not lit, so they showed a bit of tranquility and elegance.

Occasionally, there was the sound of silk and bamboo in some courtyards, intermittently, not like they were playing, but like they were practicing.

The breath of rouge swam in the wind, and from time to time it was caught by the wings of the nose, and a sense of intoxication began to emerge in my heart.

No matter how young Chu Feng was, he could guess what kind of place this was.

Ma Gonggong walked forward with Chu Feng, and peeked at him, seeing that Chu Feng's expression changed from slightly puzzled to slightly blushing, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, and explained: "The girls on this street are all in Tokyo City with some status, either the piano music is exquisite, or the writing is outstanding, they are all characters who can be called 'everyone', and ordinary people can't get in." Chu Lang doesn't seem to be here for this kind of flower willow alley? ”

"Uh......" Chu Feng smiled slightly and spread his hands, "I don't have much money, I don't dare to come to this kind of place." ”

He doesn't have anything to look down on these fireworks women, after all, in this era, many women are like the piano girls in Hangzhou City, because of the catastrophe in the family, they fell to this step of the field, obviously their background, knowledge, and appearance are excellent, and they have to bear such a fate, which is already a very bleak thing in itself, and Chu Feng naturally has no qualifications to look down on.

It's just that for these women, he can treat each other as equals, talk about poetry and songs, appreciate their songs and dances, and admire their soft and beautiful postures, but if he really has a relationship with them, Chu Feng will probably refuse politely.

It's not a spiritual cleanliness fetish, nor does it have any machismo complexes, it's just a simple fear of contracting some willow disease. After all, in this era, medical technology is really not prosperous, and if you really have any disease, I am afraid it will be difficult to cure it...... This was what Chu Feng was really afraid of.

Of course, this does not prevent mere appreciation and recognition of the talents of these women.

"Hah! These things do have something to do with money, but to be honest, they don't have much to do with it. Ma Gonggong smiled and said, "The girls here, let's put it this way, they have run to the point where they have seen thousands of characters in front of them." Rich and expensive, in their eyes, often become a very superficial thing, not that they don't like it, after all, everyone in the world loves money, but they, I'm afraid they are not short of money. The girls here are different from those in the building, there is no deed of sale, and there is no need to redeem themselves or anything, they are all free bodies, and doing business here is more like looking for a husband for themselves, and they can marry into the concubine in the future. Money may be a very important thing, but after seeing more, what they like and love more becomes talent. And Chu Langjun is naturally a talented person. ”

Chu Feng understood a little bit at this time, but he also smiled: "Why does my father-in-law make fun of me, my talent is also outside, it's like all the money in the family is on me, and it may look glamorous on the outside, but in fact, it's just that." ”

"Chu Langjun is too humble." Ma Gonggong smiled, led Chu Feng to stop outside a secluded small courtyard, signaled the latter to wait for a while, and then stepped forward and buckled the door.

A gap opened silently in the far door, probably someone peeked at it, and it suddenly opened after a while.

Yingmen is a shadow wall, high and thick, covering all kinds of things inside. Ma Gonggong turned back with a smile, asked Chu Feng to go inside, and said with a smile: "Chu Lang, come with me, my Ah Lang is waiting." ”

Chu Feng nodded, and stepped into the threshold with a flick of his placket, only to see more than ten plainclothes guards standing around, all with sharp blades hanging from their waists, at this time, a pair of eyes stared at Chu Feng's body, looking up and down, as if as long as Chu Feng showed a little wrong, they would rush up and chop him into meat sauce.

Chu Feng smiled lightly, and also looked at these people curiously, and couldn't help but think in his heart, if Big Miss Qi fought against these guards, she didn't know what kind of victory or defeat it would be. (To be continued.) )
