Just imagine, even people like Zhao Feiyan who don't know much about painting can see this painting and see its artistic conception is far away, let alone those who know how to paint.

When Chu Nian was in her first Chinese painting class, the teacher told her that if you want your painting to come alive, you must have its own artistic conception.

Chu Nian as a child, the paintings painted are all based on the artistic conception of lonely and cold, and the first few paintings that have been collected and exhibited by the Confucian Hall are all in this artistic conception, so once this lonely chrysanthemum is taken out, there are people who know how to look at its seal, and they have already identified it as the work of the mountain people on the left bank.

The bidding soon began, and someone directly called the price for a thousand taels, and when Zhao Feiyan was amazed, she heard someone on the second floor say loudly: "Five thousand taels", a frame that is bound to be won.

Zhao Feiyan whispered in Chu Nian's ear: "Sister, this voice seems to come from the elegant hall on the second floor." ”

Chu Nian asked knowingly: "Which elegant hall?" ”

Zhao Feiyan: "It's the elegant hall that the one we met at the city gate last time entered!" ”

Chu Nian sneered, "You pay a lot of attention to that person. ”

Zhao Feiyan's face turned red, and she said angrily: "Phew, I won't tell you." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the "five thousand taels" price was reported, someone immediately followed the bidding: "Six thousand taels!" It turned out to be a woman, which made Chu Nian raise his eyebrows slightly.

The man continued to bid: "Seven thousand taels!" ”

The woman then shouted: "Eight thousand taels!" ”

……

In the end, this "mountain cliff lonely chrysanthemum" was auctioned off by the woman for 12,000 taels.

Prime Minister and other dignitaries also had bids, but they only called at the beginning, and after the price was two thousand taels, none of them opened their mouths again, which made Chu Nian pay attention.

With the ability of these officials, tens of thousands of taels are no problem, and didn't the prime minister run to beg Li Yuanwai in order to get a calligraphy and painting from the mountain people on the left bank, how could he be reluctant to give up the silver?

They didn't continue to bid, could it be that they all saw the man when he went upstairs! I didn't dare to call the price up, because I was afraid that they would be suspected of embezzlement, after all, they couldn't afford so much money just by relying on official salaries.

And the reason why Mrs. Yang, who is a woman, dared to bargain with this man was only because she arrived after the man, and she didn't see this man come at all.

However, if the man is really the emperor, it is impossible not to know his cousin and sister-in-law, and he still keeps asking for money......

The more Chu Nian pondered, the more interesting he felt, and the corners of his mouth rose. She guessed before that this small painting might be able to shoot about seven or eight thousand taels, and as soon as these two of them called the board, she would earn thousands of taels more!

"Sister, a small painting has already been auctioned for more than 10,000 taels, aren't you happy?" Zhao Feiyan saw her smile and couldn't help but ask with a joke.

Chu Nian didn't answer, but said in a low voice: "The auction is over, let's go back!" ”

They came to see if the Yang family had taken the bait and whether they had succeeded in taking away the painting, but now that they saw it, the result was as Chu Nian expected, and she was not interested in staying any longer. Anyway, the "mountain man on the left bank" has already handed over everything to Li Wenzhuo, and this guy will handle the next thing.

Chu Nian got the news in the evening that Mrs. Yang took the "Mountain Cliff Lonely Chrysanthemum" and entered the palace in a carriage.

Yay, that's exactly what she wanted!

Yang Jie is the only nephew of the current emperor's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Dong, so he is favored by the Empress Dowager, and no one dares to mess with him in the capital. The Queen Mother loved chrysanthemums, and also loved paintings and poems about chrysanthemums. When Chu Nian painted this chrysanthemum, he had the idea of asking the Yang family to dedicate this painting to the Queen Mother.

Although Yang Jie has not come forward now, it is the same for Mrs. Yang Li to come forward.

That night, the palace shook, and the Queen Mother suddenly had a headache when she was looking at the painting, so she summoned the imperial doctor and found that it was the chrysanthemum painting offered by Mrs. Yang mixed with a special spice, called "Wutong Snow". This spice generally has no reaction when smelled, but it can cause headaches and discomfort to some elderly people.

For this reason, Mrs. Yang, who presented the painting, entered the palace for the second time that night, and was escorted to the palace by the queen mother's personal guards, which scared the always domineering Li enough. She is Mrs. Yang hand-picked by the Queen Mother, and she has always been loved by the Queen Mother, I don't know where she offended the Queen Mother, and she ordered the Queen Mother to send someone to get her in the middle of the night?

Yang Jie was also shocked by this incident, for fear that the Li family would say the wrong thing, and he followed the escort into the palace to meet him.

When I arrived at the Queen Mother's palace, I found that the Queen Mother's face was very bad, and the emperor was also there, and her face was so gloomy that she was about to drip.

Madame Yang was personally tried by the emperor.

Seeing that she was at a loss for the term Wutong Xue, obviously she didn't know, but she just told the origin of the painting clearly, and the Queen Mother's face eased a lot. She just said, for the sake of her deceased sister, she can be as good as these two people, how can they still think of harming themselves?!

However, this painting was presented by the Li family, and it was also the painting that caused her discomfort, so she asked the emperor to take the title of Madame Yang as a punishment, so as not to nag the emperor about this matter.

"How can a good painting be mixed with spices?" The emperor felt that this matter was not simple, and thought that he could not just let the Yang couple go.

He looked at Yang Jie for a long time, but he couldn't let his wife clean up this gangster ruthlessly before he got a big mistake!

Li's heart, which had just returned to his stomach, was in his throat again, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, before this painting reached the hands of the courtiers, it also passed through the hands of several people, such as the Confucian Guild Hall, and the great prince Li who sent this painting to the Confucian Guild Hall, in addition, all the paintings of the mountain people on the left bank flowed out of the Cuihong Mansion......"

The emperor interrupted her and said, "Listen to what you mean, someone knew that this painting would enter the palace early on?" ”

Yang Jie hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother loves Ju, and she also loves the paintings and poems of Ju, almost all of us in the Eastern Chu Kingdom know about this, and there may be someone who wants to use this painting to rape the Queen Mother." ”

The Emperor groaned.

The Queen Mother said: "If you really want to murder the mourning family, it won't just give the mourning family a headache." But I was really curious, why was there a spice in that painting? ”

Yang Jie: "When Neiko brought the painting into the mansion, the minister also looked at it carefully, and did not see the traces of his hands and feet in the later period. Therefore, according to Yichen, the spices in this painting are mixed in when painting or when paper is made. ”

The emperor said to the eunuch who was serving beside him, "Take the painting to the imperial doctor and examine it carefully, and see if you can find out whether the sycamore snow is in the paint or the paper." ”

"Yes." The eunuch responded, hurriedly took the painting and left, and went to find the imperial doctor.

After a while, the eunuch came back and replied, "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has carefully examined it again and determined that the Wutong snow should be mixed in the paint. ”
