"Grandpa Guo!" At the top of the stairs, a famous yellow-shirted maid saluted Xu Huizu and the others, "Miss said that she seemed to see the Lianjia girl. I specially ordered Miss Lian to enjoy the lanterns downstairs! ”

Bai Lan was surprised. She remembered that this maid had a relationship with Qin Wu at the makeup ceremony, and was the personal maid of Xu Ling, the eldest lady of Dingguo.

"Since it's my sister's invitation, Miss Lian will go!" Xu Huizu said reluctantly, "With my sister here, don't worry about Lian Gongzi!" ”

Bai Lan hesitated, and the maid said again: "The two young ladies of the Cheng family are also here!" ”

Cheng Xuehan is also there? Bai Lan talked to her last time that she could go together, and she was not afraid of being cold, so she said goodbye to everyone and followed the maid to the women's office on the second floor.

Xu Huizu smiled ambiguously at Zhang Bozhong: "Yo, it turns out that the young lady of the Cheng family is also here!" ”

Zhang Bozhong glanced at him, pouted and said, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”

Qiu An squinted his eyes and asked, "Is your relationship with Miss Cheng a decided?" ”

"It's all men, don't gossip like that, okay?" Zhang Bozhong glanced at them disdainfully, "What's more, the young lady in this official eunuch's mansion is the same no matter who she marries." ”

Coldly, Xu Rong said loudly: "If you don't want to marry, don't delay others." ”

Qiu An glanced at Xu Rong in surprise: Hey, the second brother seems to be a little excited!

Zhang Bozhong said coldly: "The words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders." You think I don't want to object? ”

Xu Rong's eyes were turbulent, he pursed his lips tightly, and said, "If you have a girl you like, go for it yourself, don't harm other people's innocent young ladies." ”

"Alas!" Zhang Bozhong sighed and said boringly, "It is precisely because there is no one you like that you are at the mercy of your parents." ”

Xu Rong's face softened slightly: "The vision of the British public will never be wrong." ”

Zhang Bozhong raised his eyebrows: "I hope so!" ”

"Lian Gongzi!" Xu Huizu said with a smile, "I have heard for a long time that Gongzi Lian's attainments in calligraphy and painting are amazing. It just so happened that I had a painting in hand, and I wanted to ask you to palm it off. ”

Qiu An's peach blossom eyes were cloudy for a moment, and even the crimson color at the corners of his eyes instantly increased with three points of anger.

Bai Tang smiled and said, "Xu San is too famous. I am shallow in my studies, and I dare not call it any attainment. However, Dingguo spoke publicly, and Bai Tang naturally did not dare to push back. ”

"Refreshing!" Xu Huizu actually had the same idea with Zhang Bozhong: he was notorious before practicing Baitang. Even if he is famous now, he is just a craftsman who engraves and makes paper. Why did Qiu An respect him so much that he was even dead hearted?! What worries them the most is the rumor that Bai Tang had a good male style before! If you take a crooked belt to Joan, it's too late to cry!

Xu Huizu took great pains to order someone to take out a painting box, and he was so careful that his hands slowly unfolded the scroll with a little trembling, revealing a yellowed silk background. Bai Tang was slightly stunned, the picture had not yet appeared, and when he only saw a red seal, he had blurted out: "Hairpin lady." ”

Xu Huizu and Zhang Bozhong exchanged each other's shocked looks: This is too godly, isn't it?! With just half a seal, Lian Baitang already recognized this painting?

Xu Huizu was suddenly embarrassed, does this picture scroll still have to be opened?

Qiu An was proud, the anger in his eyes dissipated, he pursed his lips, and asked with a smile: "Is Bai Tang right?" ”

Xu Huizu raised his thumb and said, "Amazing! ”

Bai Tang secretly said luck! But Xu Zuhui chose this painting to test him. In his previous life, it was precisely because he successfully reproduced the "Hairpin Lady" with woodblock water painting that he became famous in the industry. I am really familiar with this painting.

Unfolding the whole painting, Bai Tang put the silk book in his hand, first felt the texture of the silk, and then sniffed its taste, whether there were traces of drug treatment, and then looked at the brushstroke, and preliminarily determined that this was a fake.

Xu Zuhui saw a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked confident, and he was surprised in his heart.

"Lian Gongzi seems to have made a decision?"

Bai Tang hummed: "It's about an imitation of the palace painting academy during the Song Dynasty, and the imitation is good." ”

Zhang Bozhong finally couldn't help but say: "You must have seen this painting before!" ”

Xu Huizu said angrily: "You are stupid to me!" Plus today, I've taken out this picture three times. One time was in the palace. The last time, the last time you were there, how could he have seen it beforehand? ”

Zhang Bozhong was speechless, his eyes were cold and puzzled, and he pressed towards Bai Tang.

Qiu An was annoyed: "What, I want to ask Bai Tang?" ”

Bai Tang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Actually, it's not difficult to tell. The original painting was painted by the Tang Dynasty painter Zhou Fang. It is made of coarse silk. But the texture of this silk is a little lighter and softer. Ruling out the possibility of a forgery on silk, I infer from its color variation that it should be a work of the Song Dynasty. ”

Xu Huizu nodded frequently: "Why do you say that it is an imitation of the Song Dynasty Painting Academy?" ”

"Before this painting, it was collected by the Southern Song Dynasty." Bai Tang smiled, "It's a good cooked silk again." It is not difficult to draw this conclusion. ”

Xu Huizu was greatly impressed: "The master in the palace also said the same, but they studied for several days to distinguish the authenticity of the two paintings!" Lian Gongzi's name is well deserved, and his name is well deserved! ”

Bai Tang smiled and asked: "So, the real work is in the palace?" ”

"yes!" Xu Huizu felt deeply regretful. "Why isn't this one of mine?"

Zhang Bozhong let out a turbid breath, looking at Bai Tang's eyes dim.

Xu Rong couldn't understand this, so he just watched from the wall.

Qiu An snorted coldly at them, showing the true colors of the demon king. When he turned to Bai Tang, he immediately smiled, "Ignore them." Let's look at the lights! ”

"Yo. The Lantern Contest has begun! ”

All the lanterns on the Qinhuai River were extinguished one by one, and only the lights on the bank were left to guide the flower boats in the river.

Tourists who crowd the banks of the river hold their breath and stare at the river in anticipation.

The first small boat appeared.

There was no light inside or outside the boat, only a gorgeous lantern held by the person holding the lamp at the bow of the boat, which shone very clearly in the dark river.

The boatman who rocked the boat called loudly: "There is a lotus lantern in Hefu in the east of the city!" ”

The lantern of Hefu is the shape of the palace lamp, the base is lotus-shaped, made of pulped silk cloth, decorated with pearl crystal for the dew, under the candlelight reflection, the elegance is gorgeous, and it immediately attracted a burst of praise!

Qin's teahouse is next to the river. The lantern boat slowly passed under his nose, everyone could see clearly and comfortably, Xu Huizu praised: "Fortunately, I came with you today!" ”

The second boat came into view, hanging on the boat, a lantern in the shape of a carp, the body of the fish cruising nimble in the night, the orange light shining on its layers of scales, very dazzling.

There are more than a dozen lanterns in the front, all of which are made by the merchants in the city, and the more behind them, the more luxurious the lanterns are, and the production is more and more sophisticated.

Xu Huizu said excitedly: "Look, my family's lamp is here!"
