There is a tall restaurant called Pan Lou in the southeast corner of the Imperial City of Tokyo, standing on the top floor can almost see the scenery in the Imperial City, and not far to the east of the Pan Tower, it is the famous East Cross Street of Tokyo City, where the lights are lit every day five more, trading all kinds of goods, such as clothes, pictures, garlands, collar wipes and the like, will disperse before dawn, so it is also called the ghost market, and during the day, the teahouse and restaurant on both sides of the East Cross Street are also very lively, the daily pedestrians and passengers come and go, but it is a rainstorm in the past few days, It made East Cross Street much more deserted.

In front of the most famous Dong's teahouse on East Cross Street, a young man in blue stood there anxiously, looking at both sides of the street from time to time, but unfortunately today's rain was too great to see the distant scene at all, and although he was standing in the door, the splashing rain still wet his clothes, but this young man didn't seem to be aware at all.

After a long while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves and wheels in the rain, and then a bad horse-drawn carriage rushed out of the rain, when I saw this familiar carriage, the young man in front of Dong's teahouse finally showed a bright smile on his face, and at the same time held up an umbrella to meet it.

"Brother Zizhan, Brother Ziyou, you two are late, Brother Jin Qing and I have been waiting for you for a long time." The young man in blue smiled and came to the front of the carriage.

I saw that the door of the carriage was opened, and two young scholars in their twenties jumped down from the carriage, one of them looked twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a slender figure and good facial features, and the whole person looked radiant and heroic. And the young man behind him looks two years younger than him, and his appearance is somewhat similar, but this young man has a quiet and introverted temperament, and at a glance he knows that he is a young talent with poetry and books.

The heroic young man also laughed when he saw the young man in blue: "Brother Boshi, this can't be blamed on our brothers, today's rain is so heavy, the road is really difficult, if it weren't for your strong invitation, I wouldn't want to go out, or stay in the study to read two books and practice a few strokes to be comfortable." ”

"Brother Bo Shi won't have any great works, you want to invite our brothers to enjoy it, right?" The young man with a calm temperament also opened his mouth and smiled, "It's just that this time I don't know if it's poetry or painting, if it's poetry, I'm afraid Brother Bo Shi, you can't compare to my eldest brother." ”

"Haha, Brother Zizhan is talented, and the younger brother is willing to lose, but today is not to appreciate my poems, nor to appreciate my paintings, but a treasure, this thing is the only thing that the younger brother has seen in his life, if the two Su brothers don't come, they will definitely regret it in the future!" The young man in blue and the two brothers were close friends, and they often made some harmless jokes with each other, and he was indeed inferior to the poetry talent of that brother Zizhan.

The young man in blue called these two brothers Brother Su, and called them Brother Zizhan and Brother Ziyou respectively, the Su brothers in the entire history of the Northern Song Dynasty with Zizhan and Ziyou as the word, naturally the famous Su Shi and Su Zhe two brothers, the two brothers and their father Su Xun in the second year of Jiayou together in the Jinshi, for a time famous in the capital, the three fathers and sons of Sumen finally stepped onto the stage of history.

Su Xun is old, and his health is not good, so he has been staying in the capital to recuperate, Su Shi is in the capital of Dengwen Drum Academy, and Su Zhe is not out of office for the time being, the father and son all stay in the capital, Su Shi and Su Zhe two brothers usually play and feast with a group of friends, once the poems and articles are out, they will immediately be circulated by the poets and calligraphers in the Shilin, it can be said that their brothers have become the leaders of the young scholars.

Originally, it had been raining heavily in the past few days, and Su Shi and Su Zhe were studying at home behind closed doors, but they didn't expect to receive an invitation from their friend Li Gonglin today, so they came to Dong's Teahouse in the rain. Li Gonglin is the blue-clothed boy, only fifteen years old this year, this person was born in a famous family in Shuzhou, not only the family is rich, but also very talented, especially his paintings, has seen the aura for the first time, although now it is worse than Wang Xu, but that is also because he is too young, and in the original history, Li Gonglin is known as the first painter of the Northern Song Dynasty, and some people even say that his paintings are still above Wu Daozi.

Li Gonglin left home at a young age and came to the capital, while studying and socializing with the same generation of readers, with his talent, he soon became at least friends with Su Shi brothers, Wang Shu and others, today he got a treasure, so he was impatient to invite the Su brothers and Wang Xu, among which Wang Shu had already arrived, waiting for Su Shi and their two brothers.

At that moment, Li Gonglin, Su Shi and Su Zhe entered the Dong Teahouse together, and came to a private room on the second floor, only to see a young man of the same age as Su Shi sitting there, wearing a light cyan robe, his face was as handsome as a crown of jade, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Zizhan, Ziyou, your brother is half an hour late, and there is no wine in the teahouse, otherwise you will be fined three cups!" When Wang Shu saw the Su Shi brothers come in, he immediately stood up and laughed and said, although he was born in a famous family, and he was a concubine, and now he is in the position of the general of the left guard, but Wang Shu does not have any shelf when interacting with others, even if he meets a beggar talking to him on the street, he will also have a warm smile, which also makes him win the respect of many people, and even among the scholars, there are many people who respect Wang Xu.

"Brother Jin Qing, forgive me, it's not that we don't want to come early, it's really raining too much, and the roads are impassable in some places, so we also came here in a circle." Su Shi smiled and arched his hand to Wang Xu, he also admired Wang Xu's talent very much, especially Wang Xu's paintings, which made him sigh to himself.

Then Wang Shu said hello to Su Zhe again, and then turned his head to Li Gonglin with a smile and said: "Bo Shi, you asked me to rush here with Zizhan and Ziyou in such a heavy rain today, saying that there is something you want us to see, just now I want to see it, but now Zizhan and Ziyou are here, you can let us see what kind of treasure it is, right?" ”

"What can make Bo Shi a treasure is definitely not a mortal thing, hurry up and take it out for us to see!" Su Shi was also very interested when he heard it, and Su Zhe next to him also showed curiosity.

"Hehe, don't worry, three brothers, before watching the treasures, the younger brother has something to ask, I wonder if you brothers have heard a strange story in the past two days?" Li Gonglin is the youngest of the four, and he still has a detached temperament, and he likes to sell off when he speaks, which often makes people angry and annoyed.

"Strange news? There have been many anecdotes in Kaifeng City in the past two days, such as His Royal Highness King Ying's illness, and the imperial doctors were helpless, but in the end they were cured by the notorious King of Guangyang County. When Su Shi said the end, he also laughed, for Zhao Yan to cure Zhao Ji, he, like most readers, thought it was just a joke.

"Hahaha~, of course it's not about it." Li Gonglin also laughed and said, he didn't believe that Zhao Yan knew medical skills at all, but then he thought of something, and immediately opened his mouth and said with a smile, "But the king of Guangyang County married the granddaughter of Cao Lao Immortal, Cao Lao Immortal's medical skills are amazing, it is said that the princess of the county also studied medical skills with Cao Lao Immortal, maybe His Royal Highness the County King learned some immortal medical skills from the princess, and really cured His Royal Highness the King of Ying." ”

Li Gonglin's hurtful words can be described as very vicious, in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, male superiority and inferiority of women has always been the consensus of everyone, he said that Zhao Yan followed Cao Ying to learn medical skills, in fact, he was satirizing Zhao Yan to take women as teachers, which was even more embarrassing for a man than letting him wear women's clothes, so this also caused Su Shi and the three of them to laugh loudly, among which Wang Shu laughed very happily, and at the same time he involuntarily touched his forehead, there was an inconspicuous small scar, this was the last time Zhao Yan went to his house to mess around, Leave him a "gift".

laughed at Zhao Yan for a few words, and then Li Gonglin took out a box and said: "Three brothers, the strange thing I want to say is that a few paintings suddenly appeared on the market two days ago, these paintings are made by unknown people, there are people, animals and scenes, they look like white drawings, but they are completely different from white drawings, because the works on these paintings seem to protrude from the drawing paper, and the paintings are extremely realistic, as if they will come out of the drawing paper at any time......

"I've heard about it too!" Before Li Gonglin's words were finished, Wang Xu, who was also good at painting, also said with a stern face, "There are nine of these paintings that are completely different from white drawings, two of which are rain scenes, three of which are of a puppy, and the remaining four are all painted with the same woman." ”

Hearing the words of Li Gonglin and Wang Xu, Su Shi and Su Zhe also thought of one thing they had heard, and at that moment they saw the younger Su Zhe preemptively speak: "Bo Shi, what you said was the first nine peerless paintings that appeared in Moxiangzhai, and then they were snapped up by some people who love painting, and as a result, each painting was sold for a sky-high price of more than 100 yuan. It's a pity that no one wants to sell it! ”

Ouyang Xianggong is Ouyang Xiu, the current position of political governor, and one of the prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Yes, it's those nine paintings, the younger brother is also a person who loves painting, but he didn't hate that he was not in Moxiangzhai at the time, and he didn't have the opportunity to buy one, but the younger brother was not reconciled, and after many inquiries, he finally bought two with a lot of money, and he also heard a news about these paintings!" Li Gonglin slapped the box heavily as he spoke, and his face was full of excitement.
