The scorching heat of summer is like a mountain, overwhelming people's breath, and most of the adults in the yamen are very old, like tired and paralyzed dogs under the devastation of the scorching heat, dying and lifeless.

Seeing that everyone had no intention of official business, King Yu, who supervised the Criminal Department, simply took a half-day vacation for everyone, and then invited a few colleagues to drink tea in the mansion to relieve the heat, including Liu Haofei, a waiter of the Criminal Department.

Liu Haofei is over forty years old, cold-faced and selfless, has handled countless major cases, has been impartial in law enforcement, and has never had unjust, false and wrongful cases in the past 30 years, and is known as the iron-faced waiter.

However, he is best known not for handling cases, but for calligraphy and painting.

Liu Haofei can be called the holy hand of Danqing, calligraphy and painting are unique, Mobao Dan will be snapped up without half a moment when it comes out, even Emperor Hongwei has asked for his painting three times, and his skill can be seen.

Originally, he didn't like this kind of occasion the most, because at this time, there would always be someone who hated him to flatter and ask him to write and paint on the spot, like a clown for the amusement of others.

But today is the invitation of King Yu, now that several princes are growing up, the dispute over the country has surfaced, and the relationship between the princes is becoming more and more delicate.

Seeing his colleagues gathered around King Yu, serving tea and flattering him, Liu Haofei snorted coldly in his heart, and his thoughts had already flown to the unfinished "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers" at home.

However, halfway through the tea, the nasty thing still came.

In order to have fun, Li Xin, the waiter of the Criminal Department, said to King Yu in a loud voice: "Today's heat is unbearable, thanks to the prince's tea, so I can wait for the floating life to steal half a day's leisure, it is better to ask the prince to write a poem, and then let Lord Liu splash ink with a pen, so as to leave a souvenir." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately echoed them, Liu Haofei frowned, but it was not good to sweep the face of the prince in front of everyone, so he had to reluctantly get up and prepare to splash ink.

However, King Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "Lord Liu's ink treasure is naturally rare, but today's heat is unbearable, and it is really not good to bother Lord Liu anymore, but this king has recently obtained two strange paintings, and I want to invite you to taste them." ”

"Strange paintings?!"

Everyone was slightly stunned, the ink treasure that can be called a strange painting by King Yu must be priceless, maybe it is the true handwork of which Danqing Holy Hand is circulating, and everyone suddenly became interested and full of anticipation.

Especially Liu Haofei, it was an unexpected joy that he didn't have to perform in public, and when he heard that there were still strange paintings to see, he was immediately overjoyed and itched.

King Yu was not verbose, and made a color towards Chang Sui beside him, Chang Sui raised his palm and patted it gently, and the four maidservants carried two half-human high turns into fish.

"Huh?"

"What is this?"

When they saw these two paintings, everyone was stunned.

I saw that the first painting was only black and white, and it depicted a sturdy Fanbang man, with lifelike muscle outlines, like a living person, which was the sculpture "David" sketched by Xu Rui based on his impressions.

The second painting looks like a messy line, but it is colorful, and it is the masterpiece of the postmodern painter Van Gogh reproduced by Xu Rui based on his impressions - "Starry Night".

It's just that due to time constraints, this pair of Xu Rui uses crayons instead of oil paintings.

"What do you think of these two paintings?"

Seeing that everyone was stunned, King Yu asked with a smile.

Everyone has never seen such paintings, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to answer, or the waiter Li Xin pondered for a moment, and was the first to speak.

"Lord Wang, this first painting is lifelike, like a real person, the second painting is colorful and dazzling, it really deserves a strange word, but it is ......"

He changed his words and was about to say a few profound insights, but was suddenly pushed away by Liu Haofei.

When he looked back, he was stunned to find that Liu Haofei looked like a madman, and he threw himself in front of the two transformations regardless of it and looked at it carefully.

This move was extremely rude, and the people present were immediately shocked, and Yun Mu, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, was about to open his mouth to reprimand, but King Yu smiled and waved his hand.

"It's okay, Lord Liu is the Holy Hand of Danqing, so please ask him to evaluate it first."

Liu Haofei pounced on the two paintings and looked left and right, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but more of it was a different kind of fiery.

"What do you think of these two paintings?"

Li Xin was pushed by him, and he lost his ugliness in front of King Yu, but he didn't have a good seizure, so he asked coldly.

Liu Haofei didn't want to think about it: "The pen is weak, the technique is not good, the shape is empty but not the spirit, Angelica is the last ......"

"Presumptuous! Liu Haofei, do you dare to slander the prince's strange paintings like this? ”

Before he finished speaking, the people present were shocked again, how could Li Xin let go of such an opportunity, and immediately shouted.

Yuwang's face is not very good-looking, although he also thinks that Xu Rui is generally talented in painting, but being said to be useless still makes it a little difficult for him to step down.

Liu Haofei ignored everyone's reactions, arched his hand towards King Yu, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, what Xia Guan said is not half a lie, but although these two paintings are inferior, although the pen power and skills are inferior, but they have opened a precedent of a genre, Xia Guan has been painting for more than 30 years, and he has never seen such a strange painting, which is really eye-opening, and this point can also be called priceless!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was suddenly quiet, and they were stunned for two seconds before everyone started to talk about it.

Li Xin sat back in his chair in surprise, he didn't understand how Liu Haofei, who was not sophisticated, could suddenly open his mind, first suppressed and then raised, and quietly slapped King Yu's horse, which was really much smarter than himself.

King Yu really put a smile on his face again, and said happily: "Lord Liu is worthy of being a Danqing holy hand, and the words he has criticized and commented on are exquisite. ”

Seeing that King Yu had come to a conclusion, the bureaucrats immediately received rave reviews and made amusing remarks.

However, Liu Haofei did not have the slightest smugness on his face, but seemed to have something to say in his throat without vomiting unpleasantly.

He hesitated for a moment, then said to King Yu: "Lord, the techniques used in these two paintings are very special, and the brushwork is different from the usual paintings, can you please teach the prince." ”

King Yu was slightly stunned, pointed at Liu Haofei and said with a smile: "Lord Liu is really discerning, these two paintings are indeed not made with ordinary pen and ink, the first painting uses pencils, and the second painting uses crayons. ”

"Pencils? Crayon? ”

When everyone heard about these two objects for the first time, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Liu Haofei couldn't wait to ask: "Lord Wang, can you let the lower officials see these two pens?" ”

"This ......"

Yuwang showed a hint of embarrassment.

Liu Haofei hurriedly said: "Don't hide it from the prince, Xia Guan is making a picture of "Thousands of Mountains and Rivers", in which there are several difficulties that have not been overcome, until I see these two strange paintings today, I have inspiration.

It's just that these two paintings are very special, if there are no two magic brushes in the mouth of the prince, there is still no way to continue, so please ask the prince to tell each other, and the lower officials are willing to exchange any pair of ink treasures at home for one of the magic pens! ”

"Boom", and everyone was in a commotion again.

Liu Haofei is a famous family in the world, his Danqing ink treasure is extremely rare, even if Emperor Hongwei wants to have a cheeky face, I didn't expect him to be willing to exchange any pair of ink treasures for one of the pens, are these two pens really so magical?

However, under Liu Haofei's scorching gaze, King Yu shook his head with a wry smile.

"Lord Liu, it's not that this king is stingy, but this king doesn't have any two kinds of pens."

"What?"

"The prince doesn't have either?"

The people present were stunned, and Liu Haofei's face was suddenly full of disappointment.

King Yu sighed and said: "Don't hide it from you, this king received an invitation a few days ago, which was sent by a shop called Tianbao Pavilion, saying that the shop has not yet opened, and only invited a few guests to appreciate the treasures. ”

"Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?"

After thinking about it, everyone didn't seem to have heard of this shop, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

King Yu showed a look of amazement, and recalled: "Tianbao Pavilion is really worthy of the word Tianbao, the treasures contained in it are all rare treasures, and these two strange paintings are just inferior things. ”

"What?!"

Everyone was immediately shocked, these two priceless pioneering works are considered to be inferior, so how precious will the other treasures be?

"Lord Wang, I don't know how to get the invitation card from Tianbao Pavilion?"

Liu Haofei asked eagerly, and everyone hurriedly pricked up their ears, obviously full of curiosity about the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

King Yu sighed and said: "Tianbao, Tianbao is the one who is destined to get it, Tianbao Pavilion distributes invitations in an eclectic manner, and this king is also lucky to get one, I really don't know how to get it." ”

"Is that so?!"

The crowd was disappointed.

But King Yu then changed the conversation and said: "However, this king heard that the Tianbao Pavilion will distribute the last batch of invitations recently, and it will be officially opened after the end of the tasting. ”

"Oh?!"

Hearing this, everyone had some expectations, especially Liu Haofei, who was determined to get those two magical pens, and his eyes seemed to be lit with a raging fire, and his mind was full of the words "Tianbao Pavilion".

In the days when King Yu and the officials of the Criminal Department drank tea to relieve the heat, King Su participated in the ceremony of the lord of Hengcheng, and after the ceremony, King Su gave the lord of Hengcheng a necklace.

The necklace is modelled on the "Infinite Waterfall" necklace of the Princess of Monaco, except that all the diamonds are replaced with glass.

There is no glass in this world, and all the nobles don't know that they were deceived by Xu Rui with fakes, only to see that the necklace has a strange shape, the glass is even more crystal clear, finely cut, and it shines brightly and dazzlingly under the sun, and instantly throws other jewelry out of a few streets.

The kings, grandsons, and nobles present were suddenly dazzled by the shining treasure light, and it was difficult to take their eyes off the "boundless waterfall" for half a minute.

The moment she put on this necklace, the mediocre-looking Lord Hengcheng suddenly became the focus of the audience, and the exclamations were endless, which made her cry with joy, and pulled her cousin to thank her for a thousand thanks.

The banquet dispersed, and many kings and grandsons found King Su, flattered him in every possible way, and also wanted to get a glass necklace, but no matter how everyone pleaded, King Su just spread his hands to show that he was powerless.

Afterwards, a rumor gradually came out, it is said that King Su's necklace was bought with a lot of money in Tianbao Pavilion, and there is only one in the world, and there is no more inventory.

However, only three days later, on the Queen Mother's birthday, Liu Yi presented the Queen Mother with a unique crown, which was designed according to Princess Margaret's "diamond brooch crown", and all the diamonds were also replaced with glass.

This time, under the light of the candlelight, the crown treasure shines like a fairy artifact, and suddenly eclipses all birthday gifts.

It is said that the Queen Mother held the crown in her hands and trembled, and after wearing it, she was reluctant to take it off for several days, and finally under the persuasion of Emperor Hongwei, she reluctantly took off the crown and put it in front of the bed, but she had to look at it a few times from time to time.

At this point, Tianbao Pavilion has become famous, and everyone with a lot of money is looking forward to getting a legendary invitation, and the price of the invitation in private has even reached a sky-high price of tens of thousands of taels.

But no matter how high the price is, who is willing to easily give up the invitation to others for the sake of some yellow and white things?

For a time, Tianbao Pavilion became the hottest topic of conversation among the powerful people of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the invitations were priceless, like treasures.

Just when everyone was discussing this mysterious Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, only one person seemed to see a little eyebrow.

"First the fourth and sixth, and now Liu Yi again, what the hell is Xu Rui doing? Could he still conjure a treasure out of thin air? ”

Emperor Hongwei sat in the south study and whispered hatefully, his expression gloomy.
