At this time, Liu Chunyan really noticed Song Jingchen for the first time, and she suddenly felt that the man in front of her was inexplicably familiar, and some pictures related to this man flashed in her mind from time to time.

Since Liu Chunyan was reborn, her soul has been drilled into Lu Huaixiang's body, and she has always remembered the memories that originally belonged to Liu Chunyan very clearly, but the memories about Lu Huaixiang are not continuous.

It was only when she saw some specific scenes that she recalled some memories in Lu Huaixiang's mind.

As for Song Jingchen, Liu Chunyan just felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and when she tried to use Lu Huaixiang's train of thought to think about it, her heart felt very painful and unbearable.

After the emperor announced the arrangement, he retired from the court, Liu Chunyan walked at the back, and Song Jingchen's back became clearer and clearer in her mind.

……

Song Jingchen was originally a teacher of the Du family, so he naturally didn't say anything about knowledge.

When Lord Du first met Song Jingchen, Song Jingchen was in rags at that time, shivering alone in the cold wind, buying a few calligraphy and paintings on the ground.

On this day, Master Du was in a good mood because of his high migration again, and he usually likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, so he looked at Song Jingchen's calligraphy and paintings with some interest.

When Mr. Du opened a painting, he was deeply attracted by the scene in the painting, and he looked at the painting for nearly half an hour.

Then he slowly put down the painting in his hand and carefully looked at Song Jingchen who looked like a beggar in front of him, "This is what you painted?" ”

Master Du couldn't believe his eyes, because although he collected a lot of calligraphy and paintings, and there were no works like Tang Bohu's, he felt a different flavor after seeing Song Jingchen's paintings.

"The villain is not talented, this is what was made in the broken temple the day before yesterday, and the painting is the scenery outside the city." Song Jingchen whispered.

At this time, Song Jingchen had not eaten all day, and it had been a whole day since he set up a stall to sell paintings in this busy city, and no one was interested in his calligraphy and paintings.

Hearing Song Jingchen say this, Master Du opened the calligraphy and painting in his hand again, looked at it carefully, and found that the scene in this painting was the scenery outside the city in early winter.

After reading it, I was even more happy, "Very good, very good." ”

Song Jingchen was also extremely happy when he saw someone admiring his calligraphy and paintings, and what this scholar wanted most was this fellow person.

So Song Jingchen first said, "Since the official likes this calligraphy and painting, I, Song, will add to you, and it is difficult to buy a confidant." ”

Lord Du, a famous family in the capital, looked at Song Jingchen, who was hungry in front of him, of course he would not ask for his calligraphy and painting in vain, so he asked his subordinates to take out some silver taels and give them to Song Jingchen.

A full fifty taels of silver, this is the first time Song Jingchen has sold so many silver taels, looking at the silver taels in his hand, looking at the back of Lord Du leaving, Song Jingchen knelt on his knees, and watched Lord Du leave with tears in his eyes.

In the past, Song Jingchen was bullied by thugs when he sold calligraphy and paintings, and he could only sell a few copper plates a day at most, and sometimes he couldn't even afford a bun.

Song Jingchen has experienced such a situation for more than half a year.

Song Jingchen's fate was actually not born so miserable, it had to start from the previous year.

Song Jingchen's father was a lifter in the Celestial Empire, but he was only middle-aged, and there was no one in the court, so he had been idle at home, and later bought a way to become a teacher to support his family.

He has been reading poetry and books with his father since he was a child, and Song Jingchen is naturally talented and intelligent, and he learns very quickly.

This year, his father felt that Song Jingchen had completed his studies, so he prepared some entanglements to let him enter Beijing to take the exam, but he never thought that a bully in his hometown fell in love with Song Jingchen's good field.

At first, the bully negotiated with Song Jingchen's father to force his father to sell the good land to the bully at a low price.

Song Jingchen's father naturally refused, so the bully set fire to Song Jingchen's thatched house at night.

The three of them slept soundly at home that night, Song Jingchen was the first to notice the fire outside the window, and when he rushed out of the door and was about to go to his parents' room to save people, the fire had already engulfed the entire thatched house.

Song Jingchen watched his parents being burned alive.

He wrote a petition and wanted to go to the yamen to sue the bully, but he didn't think that the bully had already bribed the county official, and Song Jingchen was falsely accused and held in a cell for half a month before being released.

After Song Jingchen was released from prison, the bully punched and kicked him again because of Song Jingchen's complaint, and the bully would intimidate him every day.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he fled his hometown and came to the capital.

There was a fire at home, and Song Jingchen finally found a few brushes from the ruins, which are the ones he uses to paint now.

Song Jingchen has read sage books since he was a child, and he is kind-hearted, but what happened to his parents made him miserable.

Song Jingchen, who was powerless, could only rely on selling paintings to fill his stomach first, and he did not forget his parents' blood feud.

Song Jingchen's experience has never been humane to outsiders, he knows that only when he is strong can he get what he wants.

……

After Lord Du returned to Du's mansion with Song Jingchen's calligraphy and paintings, he went straight back to the study, locked himself in the study and watched it for three hours, even when the housekeeper went to eat, he didn't go.

Looking at Song Jingchen's paintings, Mr. Du liked them more and more, and he didn't fall asleep all night.

After the morning court the next day, Lord Du ordered the housekeeper to drive to the place where Song Jingchen sold paintings yesterday, and waited in place for an hour without waiting for Song Jingchen.

Lord Du was a little disappointed, and asked the housekeeper to drive the carriage back to the house, just when he was depressed in the carriage, a gust of wind blew the curtain, and through the gap he saw Song Jingchen in a small shop.

So he hurriedly asked the housekeeper to stop, and Master Du got out of the car and came to the shop.

This time, Song Jingchen recognized Master Du at a glance, and when he saw him coming, he walked quickly to the door, "Official, please come in, please come in." ”

Song Jingchen looked very polite, why didn't he go to yesterday's place to set up a stall, because he had already bought this shop with yesterday's fifty taels and decided to sell it in this store.

"Yes, it's you, the old man is not mistaken." Master Du said with a smile.

After speaking, he turned around and looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls, "These are all good things, good things." ”

"You shouldn't be from the capital." Master Du continued.

"The villain only came to the capital half a year ago, and he is not a native of the capital." Song Jingchen replied.

Master Du looked at Song Jingchen, "Look at you, you're only in your twenties, who else is in the family?" ”

"At home...... There is no one else in the family, only the villain is left, his parents have gone first, and the villain is not married. Song Jingchen replied with a puzzled face, although he didn't know what the person in front of him was going to do, but for the sake of buying all his calligraphy and paintings yesterday, he felt that this person should not be here to embarrass himself.

"How about following in the future?" Master Du didn't go around the bush and said directly.

Song Jingchen saw that Du Da was angry, and knew that he was not the master of ordinary people, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him turned out to be the current prime minister.

Such a thing is undoubtedly a relief in the snow for Song Jingchen in this matter, and he can't ask for it.

He hurriedly replied, "I don't know what the master wants Xiaomin to do, I, a scholar, have no power to tie the chicken, and I don't know anything else when I paint." ”

"What I want is your calligraphy and painting, and when you go to my house in the future, you will just paint all day long." Master Du said sharply.

"Then Xiaomin is here to thank the master." After speaking, Song Jingchen looked at the store he had just bought, and felt a little reluctant.

Song Jingchen didn't know that the unknown old man in front of him was his only chance now, he had read the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he would not stay in this small shop for the rest of his life.

"In this way, the dog is fifteen years old, you will be a teacher for the dog, and you will teach you this good calligraphy and painting." Master Du continued.

"The lord bought a villain calligraphy and painting yesterday, giving the villain a chance to live, and the lord ordered him to obey his fate." Song Jingchen said with a smile.

At this time, Song Jingchen didn't know that his fate would change because of today's short conversation.

After speaking, Master Du left first and went to the carriage, and Song Jingchen was still slowly packing up the things that had just been prepared in the store.

The housekeeper looked at Song Jingchen coldly from the side, and said with a laugh, "Don't bring these worthless things to my house, pack up the calligraphy and paintings and get into the carriage quickly." ”

Song Jingchen didn't dare to slack off, and quickly packed up and went to the carriage where Master Du was sitting.

When he arrived in Dufu, Song Jingchen didn't know what a real famous family was, and his family was big.

This happened five years ago, when Song Jingchen first met his future teacher, Lord Du, the prime minister of the dynasty, in the capital.

After entering the Du Mansion, Song Jingchen went out every day to teach the Du family to write and paint, that is, to exchange painting experiences with Master Du, and the two did not exchange any officialdom matters at first.

Slowly, Lord Du is more and more fond of Song Jingchen, he is not only good at painting, but also very rigorous, and he has always been very serious in his work.

Master Du saw all this, and Song Jingchen at that time could not be compared with Lu Guozheng at all.

At that time, Lu Guozheng was already a member of the fourth rank of the imperial court, and he married the sister of Lord Du, and his career was in full swing.

When Song Jingchen first entered the Du Mansion, he often treated some subordinates very well for the reasons that he encountered.

At that time, Lu Huaixiang, who was still working as a maid in Dufu, slowly fell in love with Song Jingchen because of his talent and recuperation.

Song Jingchen was also very friendly with Lu Huaixiang at the beginning, and Du Yuyan and her subordinates in Dufu liked to bully Lu Huaixiang and make her angry about everything.

Lu Huaixiang was picked up by Lu Guozheng from his hometown and secretly sent to Du Mansion to sit down, except for Lu Huaixiang and Lu Guozheng, no one else knew.

After Lu Huaixiang was bullied, she didn't know who to talk to.
