(PS: Chapter 2 is presented!) Sooner than expected. I'm still as vigorous as ever! Oh roar haha~~)

Because he understood, Gu Xian was more respectful to Xie Shence, even Gu Shunxing, who had been performing the student ceremony, could not compare.

Xie Shence looked at Gu Xian's overjoyed appearance and said with a smile: "He is very smart and ambitious. The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and it interferes in vain, only afraid of pulling out seedlings to help it grow. ”

There is no father who does not like to hear praise from others about his son. In particular, the person who gives the praise has a good authority in his own right, and his own son is fully worthy of such praise.

Gu Xian was so happy that he almost forgot what he was going to say before.

And when the housekeeper served tea, Gu Xian remembered.

"Lord Admiral, my Gu family was taken care of by the Lord back then, so there is today's grand occasion, Gu Xian is grateful, the Gu family is grateful! I've been thinking about how to repay all these years...... Forgive me, my lord, Gu Xian is a businessman who speaks vulgarly. But please Lord Admiral must listen to Gu Xian. ”

"I had nothing to repay, so I had to inquire in many ways, and learned that Mr. Taifu likes calligraphy and painting, so I found a masterpiece and prepared to dedicate it to his old man. Knowing that Lord Zhuguo likes the Divine Blade, he purchased a Hundred Refining Divine Weapon from the Fusang people. I learned that Lord Shilang likes to collect calligraphy, and a copy of the former famous scholar Qu Tanmo's codex to talk about his heart. In addition......"

Gu Xianluo listed many things, according to the share of heads, in fact, there are only one or two pieces flat, but without exception, they are all treasures, and a few are still unique products. For example, Gu Xian's peony picture is quite complacent, as well as Qu Tanmo's codex. They all have one thing in common, and that is expensive.

Xie Shence did not refuse, but he did not agree either.

Because of the generous gift, it generally means two things. One is to thank you and look forward to a better future, and the other is to point it out in person, and you don't get along with each other. According to the thinking of ordinary people, I am afraid that I will subconsciously think that it is the former, but Xie Shence does not think so.

The Wang family and the Xie family are about to break up, how did you Wuxi Gu stand in line? Xie Shence doesn't care about the number of gifts he gives, he only cares about his heart. And when the mind is not clear, the heavier the gift, the more uneasy Xie Shence becomes.

However, Gu Xian was not embarrassed at all, and he asked people to move out the peony picture that cost 14,000 taels of silver.

The black sandalwood frame decorated with gold-edged silver filigree is set off with the white of the ripe Xuan, and the red of the peony is slowly blooming in the middle, which seems to be contrary to harmony, but it is deliberately highlighted by the craftsman's skill, as if the bright red of the big canopy blooms in the black soil.

It's really a good drawing...... Not to mention the form of brushwork, even the demeanor can be ignored, but it is the scattered flower branches, the flowers spread out layer by layer, crowded together by no means congested, but natural, it is not the realm that ordinary painters can achieve.

What's more, this large peony is graceful and luxurious, and it is like a fairy parasite, so beautiful that it is incredibly beautiful.

Gu Xian looked at Xie Shence's expression, and felt quite proud in his heart.

Xie Shence slowly moved his steps in front of the peony, nodding constantly, his right hand behind his back, his fingers were still rubbing, and he couldn't help but splash ink on the spot.

The more Xie Shence looked at it, the more he liked it, and felt that even in his heyday, if he didn't have the opportunity, he might not be able to have this attainment. Thinking of the big peony I painted back then, if I compare it with this painting, I don't know who is better.

The corners of Xie Shence's mouth curled slightly, however...... Wait a minute! Xie Shence suddenly felt that this painting was a little familiar, so his eyes looked at the lower right corner of the peony picture.

Immediately, the corners of Xie Shence's mouth shrugged down.

Gu Xian, an old horseman, is really willing to pat himself on the back, and he has spent a lot of money when he thinks about it. This ebony border alone is worth a lot of money.

The inscription in the lower right corner of the peony picture is "The first year of Zhenglong, the spring rain and the beginning of the sun".

This painting was made by myself when I was drunk! The last stroke of the word "strategy" is ironclad evidence because Wang Qingyan drank too much and suppressed his hand without bringing out the front!

It's no wonder that I felt a little familiar before, and I felt that the skill was about to be perfected.

Xie Shence reacted, and then coughed twice to demonstrate embarrassment. You don't need to look at him to think that Gu Xian, the old horseman, should be very interesting to look at him at this time. It's nothing more than being proud and proud.

"The Gu family master has a heart. It's just that this painting is really rough and can't be put on the table, who did the head of the Gu family buy it from, and how much money it spent, Admiral Ben came out. ”

Jokes, using one's own paintings to slap oneself, or giving them to grandpa, whether it is passed on or seen by grandpa, is a very shameful thing.

How can there be such a shameless person who asks people to buy their own paintings and give them to their elders......

So Xie Shence made a quick decision to buy this painting at his own expense.

After the pen was sealed that year, Xie Shence's original paintings, except for a very few figure paintings that could be left, were divided by Wang Qingyan and Wang Jiehua, and they were missing. Now it seems that the two of them actually sold it.

How can it be that if you sell my paintings, you won't give me any money!

Gu Xian naturally resolutely refused this. But naturally, Xie Shence's attitude was more resolute than his.

So Gu Xian relented after a long period of hard support, and he could transfer it to Xie Shence.

"Three thousand taels of silver. When I bought it, I spent two thousand eight hundred taels, and if I count the framed whole number, it really can't be higher."

Gu Xian said with a frown.

Xie Shence was very dissatisfied. Although I know that you won't say it's very low, and the price of 3,000 taels of silver for a painting is also sky-high, I always feel that it is still low. I'm afraid it's not even half of what I bought.

As for the framing, there are more than three thousand taels of black sandalwood alone.

It's a big picture!

When Xie Shence was aggrieved by his paintings, he didn't know that the person who was really wronged was actually Gu Xian.

Is there anything to buy for 10,000 taels of silver? After the group of guys didn't know who they said that they were going to honor the old lady, they all desperately shouted the price, and what was even more odious was that a bullshit steward of the Zhang family, who only had 1,800 taels of silver on his body, dared to argue with himself, and insisted on raising the price to 8,000 taels! In the end, he gritted his teeth and waved out 10,000 taels with his big hand, so that the gang succeeded in their treacherous plan and stopped continuing to increase the price.

As for the final mounting, the materials and the labor costs, the total cost of zero and zero was another four thousand taels of silver.

Therefore, a piece of paper that is three feet eight inches long and three feet eight inches wide is worth fourteen thousand taels of silver.

The antique shop in the south of the city that can almost be faked is only a hundred taels of silver! It is also framed free of charge.

Even if blood was dripping in his heart, Gu Xian would not show it. However, it was a bit too much to say that it was a drop of blood, because it was only 10,000 taels of silver, and he really didn't care. Anyway, he himself doesn't know how to appreciate. It's just that the eldest son said that the Admiral would definitely buy back this painting, and he could only give three thousand taels of silver at most, so he felt that it was a loss.

But since Xie Shence himself said that it was indeed his handiwork, it was still worth more than 10,000 taels of silver to shoot a mountain sound.

And in his opinion, the malicious pit of the Zhang family at the beginning made this transaction even more profitable.

In the end, the painting was bought back by Xie Shence for three thousand taels of silver.

In the back hall, Gu Shunxing, whose complexion had recovered slightly, accompanied Xie Shence to have a light dinner, and Xie Shence went back.

That night, Xie Shence did not meet with the prince. And the crown prince did not mention him at the banquet, nor did he mention his private communication with Gu Xian.

Gu Xian gave a gift to thank Xie Shence for his help back then, and finally said that standing in line is also an aspect, and paving the official road for his youngest son is the top priority. In the end, I was asking Shence for a favor.

It is also to show a position, a neutral position.

This is very easy to understand, even if Gu Xian didn't say thank you, he knew what he was referring to.

It is nothing more than maintaining neutrality between the prince and Gangnam County.

Xie Shence agreed without hesitation.

As the commander of the Tiqi Division, it was taboo for him to participate in local government affairs. He can investigate, investigate, and know in his heart, and he must be in front of the Jin capital and be able to respond at any time, but he just can't make any noise in the local area, and he can't interfere in local government affairs.

So when the prince didn't ask for help, and the representative of the Gangnam County forces asked him to pretend not to see it, he was really happy.

Watching the fire from across the shore and giving a very limited helping hand to those who are about to die is the criterion for Xie Shence to stand in this storm.

So in addition to checking every day to see if there is any latest news about the Erli killer, Xie Shence no longer cares about anything else, and takes Mr. Yang to eat all over Wuxi City, and even twice Wushan also slipped out and followed the mouth.

After the last conflict between Xie Shence and Wang Kui, the water master seemed to have quieted down. Xie Shence thought to himself, although one of his own tokens made Hu Yincheng beat Wang Kui dozens of boards, but the fat ...... Wang Kui will not be able to endure this breath, and he will not find trouble for himself for so many days. What's more, he also paid a special visit to Zhao Yincheng.

Just that time, Wang Kui didn't show up.

"Eating this crab every day, I'm a little tired, you say that this Taihu Mansion is such a dish every year, and those stupid guys who don't pull a few pieces of silver are not tired of it?"

The chief steward of Taihu Tower did not dare to raise his head, let alone answer. Xindao You are a big boss, and the previous stupid sentence can be regarded as scolding all the rich people in Wuxi City, even if it is Lord Assassin Shi and Lord Du Commander.

You can scold, because even if you scold them in front of them, they won't dare to be angry, and they will even cooperate with you to make a few smirks, but how can you let us small people reply.

Besides, these dishes were not ordered by Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Sanye? My eldest young master didn't think about changing it in the past two years because he thought it was chic, how do you know that you only came to Taihu Tower but you got tired of it after seven or eight times?

However, if you want the chief steward to speak a word of conscience, if he eats some pesticulous shrimp, crab and fish snails for many days in a row, he will vomit.

Xie Shence's casual muttering when picking his teeth made the chefs and managers of Taihu Tower spend a winter researching new dishes. But this is all after Xie Shence is gone.

After another two days, the prince finally finished some things, so Xie Shence became the prince's guide and started the real Jiangnan tour.
