Wen Yongju only stayed in place for a moment, then took the initiative to step forward with a smile and walked quickly to Hanxing, Duanmufei and his party across the street.

However, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, and his thoughts were surging, and the scenes that happened in Jingzhao Mansion in June flashed quickly in front of his eyes.

At that time, Cen Yin said lightly that he wanted to change someone to take charge of the imperial horse supervisor, and when Wen Yongju was angry, he didn't think that Cen Yin had the right to change himself, in his opinion, with the emperor's temperament, it was impossible for the celebrant to dominate.

After Wen Yongju returned to the Imperial Horse Prison that day, he pulled a few cronies to plan, planning to do something about the horse conquest, and after a while, the unfavorable matter of the horse conquest became big, and he took advantage of the situation to sue the emperor and attributed everything to Cen Yin.

After such a fuss, no matter how much the Rao Emperor trusts Cen Yin, he will also leave a pimple in his heart, feeling that Cen Yin is selfish.

Wen Yongju planned well, but he didn't expect that early the next morning, Gonggong Xu, who was the celebrant supervisor, came arrogantly, directly occupied his seat, and expelled him from the imperial horse prison.

"Father-in-law Wen, there is a way, and those who can live in it. This matter of requisitioning horses will be handed over to our family in the future. ”

"Father-in-law Wen, it's time for you to rest after all these years of hard work."

"Don't worry, in the future, our family will 'share worries for you'."

At that time, every word and every sentence of Gonggong Xu still clearly echoed in Wen Yongju's ears, especially the sentence "worry about the king" was extremely harsh, he gave these four words to Cen Yin in Jingzhao Mansion, and Cen Yin gave it back to himself in this humiliating way.

Thinking about it, Wen Yongju's heart fluctuated for a while, and there seemed to be a fierce beast roaring and roaring in his heart, almost breaking free.

He's not reconciled!

He entered the palace when he was eleven years old, and for decades, he climbed from a small chamberlain who didn't even have a name to the position of the eunuch in charge of the dignified imperial horse eunuch, needless to say the hardships and blood and tears he paid.

Now Cen Yin's understatement kicked him from a high place to the dust, and ruined his decades of hard work!

According to the rules, the twelve eunuchs of the inner court each perform their duties, and although the celebrant eunuch has a transcendent status, he is not qualified to transfer the people of the imperial horse eunuch, however, such an obvious transgression, Cen Yin did it as a matter of course...... With Dongchang as a help, others didn't dare to resist Cen Yin at all, and they had no chance to defend themselves, so they were "expelled" from the Imperial Horse Prison.

After that, he was "transferred" from the imperial horse eunuch to the inner official eunuch, and he was not even a palm print eunuch, and was directly demoted to a prisoner, responsible for collecting antique calligraphy and paintings for the emperor. Now even if he wants to run to the emperor to complain, he can't do it, I'm afraid that before he gets close to the holy car, he will be stopped.

The internal officials and supervisors are only responsible for some trivial matters, and compared with the imperial horse supervisors, they are far behind, and the two are not the same at all.

What's more, now that no one in the Twelve Prisons, Four Divisions and Eight Bureaus of the Inner Court knows that he has offended Cen Yin, and everyone else is afraid of him when they see him.

If he wants to rise again, he still has to start with the emperor.

So this time the emperor came to Ningjiang Palace to escape the summer, Wen Yongju also deliberately seized the opportunity to drive, not long ago, he heard the small chamberlain under the town said that in the town in the antique shop found a calligraphy of the previous dynasty Wang Shuyun's words, this is a treasure that is hard to find, so, he hurried here, thinking that if he can offer Wang Shuyun's words this time, maybe there will be a chance for the emperor to summon himself.

However, he had just entered the shop and seen it, and the painting was a fake at all, which caused him to run for nothing.

If this was a trivial matter in the Imperial Horse Prison before, where would he need to go out and run to the town in person......

The more Wen Yongju thought about it, the more annoyed he became, but it was a short distance of less than ten steps, and he already had a lot of thoughts in his mind, looking at Duanmu Fei beside Han Xing and squinting.

On that day, if it weren't for ......

Thinking about it, Wen Yongju clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves.

After that, he also heard the rumors about Cen Yin and Duanmu Fei in the capital, saying that Cen Yin accepted the four girls of the Duanmu family as his sister-in-law, and the rumors spread very well, so Wen Yongju sent his cronies to investigate, only to know that the Qixia Racecourse was a gift from Cen Yin to his sister-in-law.

In other words, if it weren't for Duanmufei, he wouldn't have fallen to the point where he is today!

Wen Yongju's eyes faintly showed a hint of imperceptible viciousness, and when he walked up to Han Xing, the whole person had returned to normal, and he looked kind and courteous.

"Four...... Girl, what a coincidence. Wen Yongju smiled and arched his hand at Han Xing and said, "The little one came to the town today to buy calligraphy and paintings, and I heard that there is a real painting of Wang Shuyun in the antique shop in front of me, and I want to go and see it." ”

Hearing the name "Wang Shuyun", Han Xing, Duanmu Fei, Dangui and Yunhua all had bright eyes.

Wang Shuyun is a former pilgrim and is known as "a thousand gold". Wang Shuyun left a lot of masterpieces, but most of them were collected by the royal family and some families, and ordinary people could only come into contact with some rubbings at most.

"Father...... I like Wang Shuyun's words the most. Han Xing stroked his palm with a smile and said, "Sister Yunhua, Cousin Scarlet, Dangui, just right, let's go and have a look together." ”

The other girls were also in high spirits, and they were all bowed.

"Wen Yongju, which shop are you talking about, quickly take us to have a look." Hanxing said impatiently.

Wen Yongju only agreed, respectfully stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and said, "Fourth...... Girl, please, it's across the street. ”

With a smile on his face, Wen Yongju took the four girls across the street again, and went to a shop called "Antique" next door to the Xiangming Tea House.

At this moment, it is only the beginning of the day, and the street is the sunniest time, and the people are buzzing, but in this antique shop, the light is a little dim, and there are rows of shelves and multi-treasure grids on three sides against the wall, where all kinds of porcelain, calligraphy and painting, jade, and bronze are placed...... Even the four treasures of the study, the qin and the zhengxun, etc., are dazzling.

The shopkeeper who was originally sitting behind the counter immediately heard the sound and smiled at them with a courteous smile, "What do you want to see a few guests, I have a lot of good things here......

When his gaze swept over Wen Yongju, a look of surprise flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes. Wen Yongju had just come to the shop, and of course the shopkeeper remembered him.

Wen Yongju just didn't see it, his hands hung in front of him casually, and he said slowly in his slightly shrill voice: "Shopkeeper, I heard that you have a real painting of Wang Shuyun here, take it out and give it to us." ”

The shopkeeper became more and more surprised when he heard this, just now Wen Yongju clearly said that the painting was a fake, and he was so angry that he wanted to smash the shop, and finally scolded and shook his sleeves away, why now......

No matter how strange he was, the shopkeeper still didn't show the slightest.

People like him, who have been engaged in antique trading for decades, are all human spirits, and this line of work has many twists and turns, and if he is happy and angry in everything, the business will not be able to go on for a long time.

The shopkeeper smiled as kindly as Maitreya Buddha and beckoned: "A few distinguished guests, please sit inside, I will go and get it." As he spoke, he respectfully invited Han Xing and the others to bypass a rosewood seat with seven screens, sit down in the compartment separated from the back, and beckoned the man to serve tea to the guests.

The smell of tea is waviting, and the hustle and bustle of the street is cut off, quiet and deserted, as if it were another world.

Duanmu Fei, Han Xing and others sat down on the rose chair on the side, while Wen Yongju stood respectfully on the side, this scene made the shopkeeper more and more uncertain about the relationship between Wen Yongju and these girls, and he was suspicious, and turned around and walked out of the compartment.

He knew that this Wen Yongju was trying to trap these girls, but he didn't plan to say anything.

Look at the dress and bearing of these four girls, they must be from rich and noble families, and there is no shortage of silver...... What kind of grievances are there between them, he can't be controlled by this businessman, anyway, the antique shop has rules, and the goods are not returned, this is the vision, and the buyer who buys a fake can only consider himself unlucky.

Duanmufei and the others were talking and drinking tea, and Wen Yongju was standing aside, smiling all the time.

After a while, the shopkeeper returned the same way he came, with an extra bamboo roll in his hand.

He held the scroll solemnly in both hands, as if he were holding a rare treasure in his hand, and walked step by step as if he were walking on thin ice, cautiously.

Wen Yongju looked at the roll, his eyes flashed, and he was silent.

The shopkeeper opened the scroll in front of him, took out the scroll in it, and then carefully unfolded the calligraphy and painting, spread it on a red lacquered wooden bookcase, and stretched out his hand to ask, "A few girls, please see, this is the word." ”

Duanmufei, Hanxing, and Dangui got up one after another, surrounded the bookcase, and looked at the words on the case.

On the long beige rice paper, four big characters are written in cursive script: Songhe Yannian.

These four words are strong, full of lines, through the back of the paper, obviously cursive, but inexplicably give people a delicate feeling, there is a beautiful charm, people linger again and again.

"Good word!" Dangui blurted out his palm and praised.

"What a girl's eyes." The shopkeeper smiled more and more heartily, raised his right hand and pointed to the lower left corner of the calligraphy and painting, and said, "Look at this inscription and seal, it is said that this calligraphy is written by Wang Shuyun in order to celebrate his father-in-law's birthday." Look at the four words of 'pine crane prolonging the year', the pen is strong and smart, and the pen walks the dragon and snake, which can be said to be like a god. ”

"A few girls, at least half of this Wang Shuyun's works are collected by today's saints, and this one is a pearl in the sea, but it is impossible to find it."

"Everyone, carefully taste, this glyph, this power, this charm ......"

"It's really 'like a frightening dragon, like a dragon'!"

The more the shopkeeper spoke, the more energetic he became, his eyebrows fluttering, and his mouth foaming.

The girls all bowed slightly, their eyes lingered on this word, and they felt that it was really worthy of being a master's work, which was indeed wonderful!

Duanmu Fei also looked down at the word, tilted his little face and said: "The structure is full, the pen is strong, it is a good word." ”

Hearing this, Wen Yongju took two steps forward and said with a smile: "The vision of the fourth girl of Duanmu is really good. His shrewd eyes brightened in the dimly lit room, like a beast staring at its prey.

"That's nature." Hanxing said triumphantly, "Ben...... My scarlet cousin is very good at writing, and her vision is naturally not ordinary. ”

Wen Yongju showed such an expression, and said with a smile: "What you said is true. ”

The corner of Wen Yongju's eyes silently glanced at the word in front of him.

Although this character is a fake, it is imitated extremely exquisitely, almost getting the essence of Wang Shuyun, only missing that breath of aura.

He entered the palace at the age of eleven, and followed nearly two hundred small servants of the same age into the palace to study, ten years of hard study, compared to those show talent is not bad, but what really makes him stand out is his hand calligraphy and painting, he has worked this, but also to please the emperor, for the past dynasties and those calligraphy and painting masters, his understanding is not inferior to those in the court.

This word, he thought it was wonderful at first sight, and at the second glance, he saw that there was some hesitation at the turn of the gesture of the last word "year", which was not smooth enough, but it was enough to deceive those little girls!

Wen Yongju specially brought Duanmufei and them here, just to quietly coax Duanmufei to buy this painting.

"The pine crane prolongs the year." Wen Yongju read these four words, and said in a happy tone, "Speaking of which, it will be the master's birthday in a few days, and it is perfect as a congratulatory gift." ”

He glanced at Duanmu Fei without a trace, and saw that she was looking at the painting seriously, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help curling.

Since this Duanmu Fei can please Cen Yin and let Cen Yin recognize her as a righteous sister, she is obviously also a clever and skilled person, so she should know that this birthday gift is "available but not sought".

Once she bought it and presented it to the emperor on Halloween, someone would find out that it was a fake.

Duanmu Fei dared to give the emperor a fake on the Halloween Festival, this crime is not light, and if it is serious, it is to despise the emperor, which is a great disrespect.

I want to see if Cen Yin can keep his righteous sister......

Wen Yongju pressed the excitement in his heart and continued: "...... The old man Suxi Wang Shuyun will be very happy. ”

Dangui nodded heartily, this is simply good luck falling from the sky.

Wen Yongju said meaningfully: "If the four girls of Duanmu like it, the little one can let the girl." He seemed a little ashamed to speak, "I just hope that the girl can say a few kind words in front of the little one." ”

Now even Han Xing was stunned, it turned out that Wen Yongju wanted to use this word to "make amends" to Cen Yin!

Originally, he found a genuine handiwork, and since he was given to the emperor by the internal officials, he gave this opportunity to Duanmu Fei, and also gave her a favor.

But this word is really suitable as a birthday gift!

"The pine crane prolongs its life, and the implication is really good." Duanmu smiled and bent the corners of his mouth, which was very cute.

It's done! Wen Yongju's eyes showed a touch of pride.

An incense burner was lit in the corner, and green smoke rose from the incense burner, making the dimly lit room seem quiet and mysterious.

"That's a good word." Duanmufei's voice was as crisp as a mountain stream, and he sighed matter-of-factly, "It's a pity, 'beautiful woman, why be a thief', this is not Wang Shuyun's words." ”

After the words fell, the room fell silent.

"......" Wen Yongju's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Duanmu Fei in shock.

She actually saw it?! How is this possible!

The girls exchanged a look with each other, but they didn't doubt Duanmufei's judgment, but they felt a little pity in their hearts, they thought they had seen Wang Shuyun's real handwriting, but it turned out to be just a fake!

However, with their origins, good things are not uncommon, and after a brief disappointment, they return to normal.

The only curiosity is......

"Sister Scarlet, how did you see that?" Dangui's eyes were shining, and she felt like a cat was scratching mischievously.

In the blazing eyes of the three girls, Duanmu pointed to the calligraphy and painting, and said, "This paper is not right." ”

Hanxing and the others were stunned, isn't this rice paper?! What's wrong?

Duanmu said with a smile: "Xuan paper is also known as 'sandalwood rice paper', and the sandalwood refers to green sandalwood skin. However, since 100 years ago, straw has been added to the material of rice paper. The paper for this painting is rice paper with straw added. ”

"Just imagine, how could Wang Shuyun, a calligraphy master three hundred years ago, use this kind of rice paper to write!"

"At first glance, this character looks pretty good, but in fact, it is full of loopholes, not only is the paper wrong, but when the last two words are written, the gesture is becoming less and less smooth, and it is also a layman."

Duanmu Fei said it reasonably, Han Xing couldn't help but think of Duanmu Fei's small appearance when he showed off the Huanhua note to himself yesterday, and the corners of his lips were also curled.

Yes, Cousin Scarlet has always liked to delve into some strange things, and she can still remember one time when Cousin Scarlet talked to her about the pen, and she was enthusiastic about the hair of the nib, the material of the pen tube, the pen cover, the lanyard, the pen bowl, etc., and so on.

How can this mere fake hide from his scarlet cousin!

Han Xing was quite proud in his heart and straightened his chest, but then his face sank again, and he slapped his palm on the bookcase violently.

"Smack!"

A palm slapped the bookcase and shook slightly.

Han Xing puffed out his cheeks angrily, raised his hand and pointed at the shopkeeper's nose, and reprimanded coquettishly: "You, so bold, even this palace dares to deceive!" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he almost pinched himself.

This...... This...... This gorgeously dressed little girl actually calls herself "Hongu"?!

The woman who can call herself the palace is not the ladies in the palace, that is the princess!

The shopkeeper naturally thought of the emperor's recent visit to Ningjiang Palace to escape the summer, and he was so frightened that his legs were weak and he almost knelt down.

I'm too unlucky, I actually met the golden branches and jade leaves!

No, it wasn't you who encountered it, it's clearly ......

The corner of the shopkeeper's eyes jumped with a pale face, and he understood that he was clearly pitted by the fat man next to him, and the other party clearly saw that this was a fake, and specially brought the princess here, isn't this a deliberate trick? !

"No, no, no......"

The shopkeeper hurriedly wanted to explain, and wanted to push the matter on Wen Yongju, but before he said these two words, he heard Wen Yongju say in a weird manner: "You profiteer, you are really a big dog!" Even we dare to be deceived by the internal officials and supervisors, it's really lawless! ”

Internal Officials and Supervisors?! The shopkeeper seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his teeth trembled with fright. No wonder this fat man has a shrill voice and a beard on his face, it turns out that he is a eunuch in the palace!

The other party is clearly threatening himself, if he dares to blame him, he will not let himself go!

Even ordinary people, they know that now the court can be described as eunuchs in power, and these rootless eunuchs are all narrow-minded and will be revenged.

Whether it's a princess or an internal official, you can't afford to offend yourself!

The shopkeeper almost wanted to cry without tears, and the middle clothes on his body were soaked in cold sweat, feeling that he had exhausted most of his good luck in his life, how could he be so unlucky!

He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his cuffs, and said tremblingly: "This girl, there are rules for the industry, and this antique shop also has rules. ”

Antique shops do have such unwritten rules, if your vision is not good, accidentally buy a fake, it is useless to sue the government. Part of the reason is that the value of this antique calligraphy and painting is ambiguous, for example, the same calligraphy and painting is worth thousands of gold in the eyes of people who know the goods; But in the eyes of those ordinary people, I am afraid that it is too much smoke to use it for fire.

The shopkeeper has been in this circle for many years, and he is also a shrewd person, pretending not to hear Han Xing's sentence "Bengong", showing an increasingly courteous and flattering smile, arching his hand and flattering: "A few girls are really sharp-eyed, their eyes are like torches, and they are well-informed. I've seen a lot of things today...... Speaking of which, I was also deceived and confessed. The shopkeeper shook the pot directly without blushing or panting, "It made a few girls laugh." Is this okay? As a companion, whatever the girls like in my little shop, take whatever they like! ”

The shopkeeper patted his chest generously.

Han Xing was praised and half of his anger was gone, but his face still looked arrogant, he raised his chin, paced two steps with his hands in his hands, and said angrily: "Where are there any good things in your store?!" Maybe it's all fake! ”

The shopkeeper smiled and continued to say flatteringly: "That's because the girl has seen a lot of good things, and the things in my store naturally can't get into the girl's eyes." ”

That's nature. Han Xing listened quite usefully, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Duanmu Fei looking in a certain direction meaningfully, so he leaned over to her and looked over curiously.

Duanmu Fei pointed in a certain direction and said, "Shopkeeper, bring me the pen holder." ”

Following the direction of Duanmufei's finger, you can see that on another bookcase by the window, there are various stationery such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, pen hanger, pen holder, pen rest, etc.

There is only one pen holder on the bookcase, which is a painted white porcelain pen holder, and there are several brushes inserted in it.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he almost couldn't wait to rush to the bookcase, poured out all the pens in the pen holder, and then handed the pen holder to Duanmu Fei with both hands, looking respectful.

Duanmu Fei took the pen holder, looked at it casually, and asked, "How much is this?" ”

"Girl, this thing is worthless, if the girl wants it, take it." The shopkeeper hurriedly said generously.

This painted white porcelain pen holder is from the official kiln, the painting is good, and the fire is exquisite, but it is also a piece of stationery, not worth a few silver.

When he went to the south to collect porcelain a month ago, he asked the other party to give it as a fraction by the way, so he put it here, thinking that maybe he could sell it to a fool who didn't know the goods. But he now knows that there are princesses and eunuchs in this line, and where do they dare to deceive people anymore, he is generous.

Han Xing snorted squeamishly, raised his voice and said, "My cousin asks you to make a price, you make a price, we don't take advantage of this." "Besides, not all cats and dogs can give them things!

The shopkeeper was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he wanted to sell it to them at cost price, but the problem was that he didn't give anyone any money when he took it!

The shopkeeper thought about it, so he compared a finger and said tentatively: "A tael of silver is fine." "Having said that, he regretted it again, but it was a porcelain pen holder, where was it worth a tael of silver!

The shopkeeper was about to change his words, but he saw Duanmu Fei happily take out a silver coin from his purse, handed it to the shopkeeper, pursed his lips and smiled: "It's just right to give it to Master Mu as a birthday gift next month." ”

"......" Wen Yongju was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but sneer.

It turns out that this girl doesn't understand antiques, but just happens to understand "paper"!

This pen holder is just porcelain from the official kiln, imitating the elegant style of the middle of the previous dynasty, and it is not worth anything at all!

Hmph, I knew that she had such a bad vision and picked such a thing for the emperor, and she didn't need to go through such a lot of trouble just now.

Wen Yongju was originally a little disappointed, but now he was in a good mood, and praised with a smile: "The eyes of the fourth girl of Duanmu are really good. If there is an ancestor, there must be a grandchild! ”

Wen Yongju hooked his lips, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

When it's time for Halloween, there's a good show to watch!
