The person who spoke was dressed in a crescent-white robe, with an equally plain belt around his waist, and the whole person was long and handsome.

"You are?" Kou Shu squinted slightly, and there was a hint of puzzlement in her eyes.

Sui Yuanzhou said: "Although the master is gone, I am also a little bit of the same, if the queen is willing, can you entrust it to me to taste?" ”

Ripple's eyes widened in curiosity on the sidelines, not understanding where this person came from.

Seeing that Kou Shu's eyes were also puzzled, the little guy on the side hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "This is Wen Pinjian's apprentice, and he has been assisting Wen Tasin in the Tasting Pavilion for the past few days. ”

"Although my ability is not as good as my master, I am also confident that I can see the authenticity of the queen's paintings, I wonder if the mother is willing to trust me?"

Kou Shu raised her eyebrows slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of distrust in her tone: "Oh? Since you say that your ability is not as good as Wen Tasting, and you say that you can distinguish the authenticity of paintings, what do you mean? ”

Sui Yuanzhou arched his hand and said: "The so-called tasting, the authenticity is one thing, and the quality is the second. I can tell the truth of a painting, but I can't tell the details of the painting like my master did. ”

Kou Shu nodded: "What you said also makes some sense," waved his hand to signal the little guys behind him to carry things into the tasting pavilion, looked directly at Sui Yuanzhou and said, "I hope Sui Tasting can help me distinguish the authenticity." ”

Sui Yuanzhou had a faint smile on his face, but there was infinite confidence in it.

Within an hour, several of the paintings that Kou Shu had brought with her had been tasted - all of them were fakes.

Rao is a person like Kou Shu who doesn't care about things outside his body, and he can't help frowning - if this is the case, the people behind it are so big and scheming that they are probably beyond their imagination.

"The queen is thinking, holding a fake, are you going to the treasury to exchange for any good paintings?" Sui Yuanzhou asked.

Since the appearance of fakes in the palace. The Queen Mother's palace let out a word, and all those found in the palace who found fakes were burned down, and then went to the treasury to choose a satisfactory redecoration. The treasury of the palace is full of treasures, which makes many palace concubines who have not been transferred feel that they have lost money.

Kou Shu shook her head: "It's just an ornament, it doesn't hurt to put anything." ”

When Sui Yuanzhou heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "In the treasury of the palace, it is said that there are all kinds of celebrity calligraphy and painting treasures. Wouldn't the queen want to go and pick a few to hang in the house? ”

Kou Shu's eyes looked into the distance, and her eyes lost focus a little bit: "The so-called mountains and rivers come from the heart, if you are narrow-minded in your heart, you will lose a magnificent and atmospheric scenery when you see everything." As for the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the house, they are never for themselves. Since it's for others to see, why bother to choose? ”

When Sui Yuanzhou heard this, his expression was shocked, but he didn't expect a woman to have such an awareness: "What the queen said is very true, the meaning of mountains and rivers is in the hearts of the people." Just listening to the meaning of Niangniang, it seems that there is no mustard in my heart, and I can't tolerate the color of the landscape? ”

Kou Shu shuddered, she didn't expect this person to react so quickly, and she couldn't help but be a little vigilant: "Are you really just Wen Pin's apprentice?" ”

When Sui Yuanzhou heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Wen Pinjian is indeed my master, but I traveled to Daxuan, and he is not my first master." My first master was called Rong Li. ”

"Are you a disciple of Qingcheng Sect?" Kou Shu couldn't help but exclaim—Rong Li is the name of his uncle, if that's the case, isn't this person his uncle?

Sui Yuanzhou was also stunned, and nodded a little stunned, obviously he didn't expect the queen mother to know Qingchengmen: "The queen mother is ......"

There was an inexplicable excitement in Kou Shu's words: "I was sent by my father to Qingchengmen to practice martial arts since I was a child, strictly speaking, I should be your nephew." After a pause, he said: "There is also a Concubine Lan in the palace, who is also from Qingcheng Gate. ”

Sui Yuanzhou frowned, there were many people in Qingcheng Gate, and he never remembered the existence of such a queen mother and Lan Concubine Niangniang.

Kou Shu was very excited, put what had just happened behind her, retreated from others, and sat down with Sui Yuanzhou to talk slowly.

It turned out that this Sui Yuanzhou was also at the time of traveling down the mountain, and he was at the foot of the mountain to see the unevenness and save a girl who was tied up by a bandit, who knew that the girl would take revenge, not to say that Sui Yuanzhou despised her, and was responsible for her. Sui Yuanzhou had to stay away from the division. Wandered to the door of Wen Pinjian, because of his talent and interest in connoisseurship, he stayed and became Wen Pinjian's apprentice.

After listening to Sui Yuanzhou's story, Kou Shu actually felt a little sympathetic: "Then what are your plans next?" Do you want to continue to follow Wen Tasting? ”

Sui Yuanzhou shook his head: "This is just my hobby, not a long-term solution." Those who seek great things should have a big vision. ”

Kou Shu's eyes showed a hint of approval: "If you want to become an official in the court, I can help you." ”

Sui Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment, and looked at Kou Shu with some surprise.

Although General Kou has passed away, he made good connections during his lifetime, and he was bright, and he still had many cronies and children in the previous dynasty, and Kou Shu could speak. Kou Shu immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Sui Yuanzhou: "You take this and go to the Ministry of Rites, he knows what to do." ”

"Ministry of Rites?"

Kou Shu was stunned: "The Ministry of Rites is the department with the highest status and the most power among all the departments of Daxuan, don't you want to go?" ”

Sui Yuanzhou shook his head: "I want to go to the Hanlin Academy." In the cold wave of the Suhai Sea, I hope to discuss the national plan with people of insight. ”

Kou Shu frowned, but she didn't say much, and wrote another letter to the academician of the Hanlin Academy and handed it to Sui Yuanzhou: "You and I meet today, and we are the same teacher, which can be regarded as a rare fate." I'll help you with this, I hope it will be useful to you, uncle. ”

Sui Yuanzhou's eyes opened, as if he was greatly encouraged, he just said casually, who would have thought that the queen would really ensure that she entered the Hanlin Academy - you must know how many people may not be able to exchange for such an opportunity for ten years.

After receiving the letter, Sui Yuanzhou looked at Kou Shu deeply and said: "What the queen did today, one day, there will be a spring to repay her." ”
