"Defeated, defeated!" Just as Zhou Yuting, Lu Sujuan and others were anxiously waiting for the results of the second level competition, a maid ran in in a hurry, shouting loudly. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick.

"Uncle defeated?" Lu Sujuan's face suddenly became happy when she heard this, and she hurriedly asked.

"Mr. Bai was defeated, and his uncle made his three uplinks, but he didn't go out of his uncle's uplink." The maid shook her head and explained.

Lu Sujuan's face changed slightly, she knew that Bai Siyi had profound skills in couplets, otherwise Zhou Zheng would not have brought him to Da Zhou Town to deal with Li Yuntian, but she didn't expect Bai Siyi to lose so quickly.

Zhou Yuting felt relaxed for a while, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, as long as she passed one more level, Li Yuntian could enter her boudoir and pick her up.

Li Yuntian stopped in front of the small courtyard where Zhou Yuting lived, and at the gate of the courtyard stood an old man with a white beard in his back, and the two domestic servants standing next to him each held a scroll in their hands.

Looking at the scrolls in the hands of the two servants, Li Yuntian's heart chuckled, and he had a bad premonition, he felt that the two scrolls were like painting scrolls.

Obviously, these three levels are aimed at his weakness, as a two-list jinshi he is not afraid of testing current politics and debate, this is their jinshi's specialty, calligraphy is also good to say, but also since childhood hard practice.

Only painting, he has been studying hard, where there is leisure and elegant painting, so painting is his weakest one, and the third level is aimed at his weakness.

"Li Zhixian, there are two paintings here, one is the authentic work of Yan Liben in the Tang Dynasty, and the other is a copy of the old decay, please Li Zhixian point out which painting is the real work and which painting is the copy!" The white-bearded old man bowed his hand to Li Yuntian and said with a smile......

The two servants standing behind him unfolded the two paintings with the help of others and placed them side by side in front of Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian fixed his eyes and saw that it was Yan Liben's masterpiece "Bu Yuan Tu", which painted the scene when Lu Dongzan met Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the tone was elegant and dazzling, the lines were smooth and round, and the composition was staggered, which was a representative work of Tang Dynasty painting and had precious historical and artistic value.

Looking at the two identical "Walking Drawings", Li Yuntian suddenly made a difficulty, the white-bearded old man is obviously also a painter, and the "Walking Drawings" he copied seemed to him to be the same as the real work, his painting skills were limited, and he couldn't tell which was the real and which was the copy.

Seeing Li Yuntian frowning slightly and looking at the two paintings, the white-bearded old man stood there with a smile on his face, he was very confident in his painting skills, Li Yuntian definitely couldn't tell the difference between the real and the fake, and in the end he could only guess.

"Mr. Lao, today is a day of great joy, Mr. Lao's pen is profound, although it is a copy but not inferior to the original, it is really a fine product."

Li Yuntian stared at the two paintings for a while, then looked up at the white-bearded old man, "Today is a day of great joy, I don't know if the old gentleman can give the copy version to Zaixia, and he will give a hundred taels of silver to be Mr.'s pen." ”

"Since Li Zhixian likes it, then the old man will give the copy version to Li Zhixian at that time, and he will be a congratulatory gift for the old man." When the white-bearded old man heard this, he couldn't help but show a little smug look on his face, and agreed with a smile.

A subtle smile flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and he frowned and looked at the two paintings, and there was silence all around.

"How's it going out there?" The ladies in the house waited for a long time and didn't see any movement outside the courtyard gate, and a young woman finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked the maid who was standing at the door of the house.

"Miss Qiyu, my uncle seems to be stumped, and I can't tell the authenticity of those two paintings." When a maid heard this, she hurriedly went to the gate of the courtyard to check, and then went into the house to report to the female dependents.

"Now that half of the incense has passed, I think he is stumped this time." Lu Sujuan smiled and looked at Zhou Yuting on the side, "He didn't lose unjustly, the old gentleman at the door is the seventh painter in the palace, and he is the leader of our Daming flower bed." ”

Zhou Yuting bit her lip, she felt that this was unfair to Li Yuntian, because Li Yuntian was not proficient in painting at all, how could he be the opponent of that court painter?

But then again, where is there anything absolutely fair in this world, do you want to compare with Li Yuntian, a new science and technology scholar, on current affairs?

When Zhou Yuting was nervous, Li Yuntian reached out and picked up the painting on the right and looked at the sun in the sky.

Today the sky is clear, the sun is shining, and the breeze is gentle, which is a rare good weather.

Seeing this, the white-bearded old man couldn't help but smile and shook his head, it was impossible for Li Yuntian to distinguish the authenticity from the texture of the paper, since he could use the copy version to test Li Yuntian, then it was obvious that he had already done the painting scroll, even an expert couldn't tell the difference, let alone a layman like him.

At this moment, Li Yuntian's hand suddenly trembled, the painting scroll in his hand fell to the ground without holding it steady, and a low laughter suddenly sounded around him, it seemed that Li Yuntian was so nervous that he couldn't even hold the painting.

The white-bearded old man smiled, in his opinion, since Li Yuntian couldn't tell the truth from the fake, it was better to admit defeat as soon as possible, so as not to delay the auspicious time to welcome his relatives.

"Sir, this painting in my hand is a copy." Li Yuntian glanced at the white-bearded old man, a smile appeared on his face, and after picking up the painting scroll on the ground, he said quietly and loudly.

"Li Zhixian, you guessed wrong, the painting in your hand is genuine." The white-bearded old man was slightly stunned when he heard this, the smile on his face froze, and then he pretended to smile calmly.

"In that case, then I'll take the copy below." Li Yuntian didn't argue with the white-bearded old man, and after handing the painting in his hand to the previous servant, he smiled and took the painting on the left.

According to his previous agreement with the white-bearded old man, the white-bearded old man will give him the copy version, since the right is the original handiwork, then the left is naturally the copy.

The white-bearded old man's face suddenly became ugly, his eyes stared directly at the scroll in Li Yuntian's hand, and his face was cloudy, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

"You go to sue your young lady, your uncle lost the third level, agree to her request, and in the future, your aunt's concubine will be all up to your young lady." Li Yuntian carefully rolled up the painting in his hand, glanced at the white-bearded old man with a blue face, and said to Xue'er on the side with a smile.

Seeing that Li Yuntian had admitted defeat, Xue'er happily walked to the courtyard, ready to tell Zhou Yuting the good news.

The people at the scene felt pity for Li Yuntian, thinking that his luck was too bad, and he didn't choose the right painting axis, so that he was even deprived of the right to take concubines in the future.

"Miss Cher, wait." Seeing that Xue'er was about to walk into the courtyard, after a fierce ideological struggle, the white-bearded old man called out to her, and then said to Li Yuntian with a wry smile, "Li Zhixian, the old man made a joke on you just now, you guessed right just now, the previous one was copied, and now the one in your hand is the real thing." ”

Hearing this, there was a commotion in the surrounding crowd, and no one could have imagined that things would change so dramatically.

"A gentleman does not win the love of others." The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a hint of a smile, and he handed the "Walking Diagram" in his hand to the white-bearded old man, and said loudly.

"How did Li Zhixian distinguish between the original and the copying?" After the white-bearded old man put away the scroll, he looked at Li Yuntian suspiciously, he thought that the fakes he copied were flawless, not to mention Li Yuntian, even those masters of the painting world at that time are difficult to see the clue from it.

"I deliberately dropped the painting on the ground just now, and Mr. didn't regret it, if it was genuine, I'm afraid Mr. would be distressed." Li Yuntian smiled and explained in a deep voice.

"I see." Only then did the white-bearded old man understand, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't realize that Li Yuntian had deliberately dropped the painting on the ground to test him.

From the reaction of the white-bearded old man, Li Yuntian had already guessed the authenticity and the copy version of the two paintings, and was worried that the white-bearded old man would otherwise, so he had already given the white-bearded old man a set before guessing and asked him to give him the copy version.

"Bu Yuan Tu" is a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation, and it must be the favorite of the white-bearded old man, how can it be given to Li Yuntian lightly, so once he denies it, Li Yuntian will use the real product to deal with him.

Sure enough, the white-bearded old man was reluctant to "Step Diagram", and finally told the truth, which made Li Yuntian win the third level heartily.

Under Xue'er's guidance, Li Yuntian strode into Zhou Yuting's courtyard.

Hearing the sound outside the door, Lu Sujuan hurriedly put a red hijab on Li Yuntian, and she admired Li Yuntian in her heart, and she passed these three levels cleanly.

Although Li Yuntian passed the three levels, the ladies would not let him take Zhou Yuting away, and they all blocked the door and noisily asked him for money.

Li Yuntian had already prepared, and with a wave of his hand, the cousins who came to pick up his relatives behind him gave the happy money that had been prepared to those female dependents, and Li Yuntian was able to enter the room.

Zhou Yuting wore a red hijab on her head, sitting on the edge of the **, her heart was pounding, her cheeks were ruddy, and she looked extremely nervous.

The two maids brought a red belt, one end to Li Yuntian, and the other end to Zhou Yuting, because the two have not yet married, so they can't have skin to skin, so he wants to use the red ribbon to lead Zhou Yuting out of Zhou's house.

After the two of them took the red ribbon, Xue'er stepped forward to help Zhou Yuting, because Zhou Yuting was covered with a red hijab, so she naturally needed someone to help guide her.

"Sisters-in-law and sisters, everyone is here today, and I have something to announce next."

Li Yuntian did not leave immediately, but glanced around at the female dependents in the house, and then looked at Zhou Yuting on the side, and said loudly, "After getting married, including taking concubines in Xia, Yuting is in charge of the affairs of the back house, and she will never interfere in Xia." ”

Zhou Yuting thought that Li Yuntian was going to say something important, but she didn't expect him to talk about the matter of the back house, and she was suddenly ashamed and happy, and her cheeks became more rosy.

The ladies in the house looked at each other, especially Lu Sujuan, who never thought that Li Yuntian, who had already passed the three levels, would hand over the power of concubine to Zhou Yuting.

You must know that in this male-dominated society, no man is willing to do this, so he will be regarded as a "strict wife" who has no future, which is why Zhou Zheng will set up three levels to force Li Yuntian to comply

Li Yuntian's unexpected move completely surprised everyone, which made everyone really surprised, with his words, Zhou Yuting undoubtedly sat firmly in the position of the head of the Li family's back house. One
