Zeng Bu secretly felt ashamed, as a scholar, he should do everything possible to persuade the emperor to be diligent in political affairs and not indulge in lustful dogs and horses. But now, he wants to go out with this young genius. This is a big violation of his political integrity.

If it weren't for Mo Yunxiao's friendship with his wife, if it weren't for Mo Yunxiao's trouble, if it weren't for her and her wife's repeated pleas, she would never have done this.

Zhao Ji groaned slightly, and then said, "Great, I'll go to the house tomorrow night to disturb me." ”

"Yes." Zeng Bu responded, and said, "The minister must arrange it carefully." ”

Zhao Ji waved the folding fan and said, "Why do you need to arrange it, it would be bad if too many people knew about it." ”

Zeng Bu nodded and said, "Yes, the minister understands." Then he quit in a huff.

At the beginning of the second night. Tourists and pilgrims in front of Daxiangguo Temple are bustling. Zhao Ji and Zhang Di, who left the palace in micro-service, walked on the "Heavenly Street" and walked towards Zeng Bu's house like a walk.

When they came to the door of Zeng's mansion, Zhang Di stepped forward to knock on the door. Menzi came out and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Zhang Di respectfully handed over the worship box and said, "Mr. Zeng's friend Zhao Pang and Zhao Gongzi came to pay a visit. ”

Menzi took the box and returned the salute, saying, "Please wait." ”

Zhang Di said, "There is labor." As soon as the door was bowed, he closed the door and entered. Zhao Ji shook the folding fan, looked at the door of Zeng Bu's house, and did not speak.

After a while, the man opened the door and saluted, saying, "My lord is invited." ”

"Please lead the way." Zhang Di said. Menzi smiled and said, "This is how it should be,"

He brought Zhao Ji and Zhang Di to the front of the lobby, and Zeng Bu and Mrs. Wei came to greet them. Mrs. Wei already knew from her husband that Zhao Pang was an official family, and she was not too surprised to see her again this day, but she just greeted her husband with her.

"This is Uchiko Yuru." Zeng Bu introduced his wife to the two.

Zhao Ji also hugged him, and didn't mention the previous meeting in the Ming Building, but said: "I have heard for a long time that Mrs. Wei's words and chapters are beautiful and her writing is graceful, and I am fortunate to see it today, and she is really handsome, and she is not comparable to ordinary women." ”

Mrs. Wei has a broad personality, although she praised herself as the emperor, she did not have the slightest cowardice, she just smiled and said: "Zhao Gongzi praised falsely, there is a more handsome character in our house." ”

Zhao Ji unfurled the folding fan, laughed, and said, "Madame can't be too modest." Today, Ben Gongzi came to Mr. Zeng to discuss painting, how can there be no words in the painting? ”

They said and entered the lobby. Under the guidance of Zeng Bu, Zhao Ji sat at the top, and Zeng Bu and Mrs. Wei sat on the bottom side. Zhang Di stood beside Zhao Ji.

The maid served tea, and Zhao Ji was about to taste it, but he faintly heard the sound of rustling behind the screen. Zhao Ji observed the words, suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, and smiled knowingly.

He knew that this was the female dependents in Zeng's mansion peeking behind the screen. His identity as the Son of Heaven inevitably arouses curiosity, so he does not blame him. It's just that Zeng Bu was a little embarrassed, and he coughed a few times heavily, signaling the women to restrain themselves.

Mrs. Wei hurriedly said: "Zhao Gongzi is really well-informed, and there is indeed a scholar who is good at painting in my house recently. Since Zhao Gongzi has this intention, it is better to call him to see him. After she finished speaking, she instructed one of the maids beside her, "Go and call our little gentleman who is good at painting." ”

"Yes." The maid curtsied and slowly withdrew.

After a while, a six-foot-long young man dressed in a long robe and a square scarf walked in slowly. It is inconvenient for women who have not left the pavilion to see foreign men, so Mo Yunxiao dresses up like this.

But despite this, Mo Yunxiao's unique temperament exuded from the inside out still gives people a bright feeling.

She bowed her head slightly, came to Zhao Ji, clasped her fists and saluted, and said in a voice like a silver bell: "Little one, I have seen Master Zeng, Mrs., and Zhao Gongzi." ”

"You look up." Zhao Ji shook his fan and said.

Mo Yunxiao raised her head and took a look. These eyes are as clear as spring water, and they shine proudly.

In the entire city of Tokyo, and even in the entire world of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that I will never find a pair of such eyes, such a pair of eyes that make people love, fear and respect.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but be shocked, and the shaking folding fan involuntarily stopped. Zhang Di shouted: "Presumptuous! ”

Whether it was the era of King Duan in the past or the era of the Son of Heaven today, no one dared to look directly at Zhao Ji like this. There is infinite arrogance in this look, like a flame about to erupt.

And if you look directly at a noble person with such eyes, it will undoubtedly be regarded as an offense.

But Zhao Ji seemed to appreciate her eyes like this, and even enjoyed the feeling of being looked at by her so much. So he looked sideways at Zhang Di and said, "In someone else's house, don't be rude." ”

"Yes." Zhang Di answered and stopped talking.

Zhao Ji turned his head and looked at the person in front of him again. Although she is dressed as a scholar, her eyebrows and eyes, as well as her delicate but not tacky face, clearly tell people that this is a woman, and she is a beautiful woman.

She wears a long gown and cloth shoes, but exudes nobility and arrogance from the inside out, which is both likable and unapproachable, and inevitably reminds people of Zhou Dunyi's famous sentence of appreciating the lotus, "You can watch it from a distance and not blasphemous." ”

"Sure enough, it's a strange woman." Zhao Ji secretly admired in his heart, so he asked again: "I heard that my unfinished painting was made up by you?" A hidden dragon, a crouching tiger, indeed has both form and spirit, and has everyone's style. ”

Mo Yunxiao clasped her fists and said with a smile: "The son has won the award, in fact, it is not difficult to draw dragons and tigers." Dragons, which mortals cannot see, can wield their pens at will; The tiger is fierce and majestic, as long as you grasp such a characteristic, you can also make a good painting. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ji smiled and asked, "Since it is not difficult to draw dragons and tigers, what is the most difficult thing to draw?" ”

"Ordinary things can see the magic method, which is the most difficult." Mo Yunxiao pondered for a moment and said: "Xie He, a painter in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, once summed up the six methods of painting, that is, vivid rhyme, bone brush, pictogram of objects, color with class, business location, and transfer molding. As long as these six methods are possessed at the same time, it is a good painting that will be handed down to the world. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, and asked again: "In your opinion, can my painting have these six methods?" ”

Everyone's eyes were on Mo Yunxiao. Zeng Bu was even more nervous, for fear that she would say something inappropriate.

Mo Yunxiao replied slowly: "Don't hide it from the son, the son is talented, and he has many years of attainments in painting, and he has indeed reached a very high level." However, according to Xiao's point of view, as long as the son is willing to study hard, his calligraphy attainments may still be above painting in the future. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, this answer really surprised him a little, so he asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled slightly, and said to Zeng Bu: "Master, the little courage is to ask the four treasures of the study room to use." ”

Zeng Bu was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously cast his eyes at Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji waved the fan in his hand in agreement. So Zeng Bu instructed the maid to fetch the four treasures of the study.

Mo Yunxiao said while grinding: "The small one can see a little bit of Liu Gongquan and Huang Tingjian's calligraphy from the painting of Gongzi. The words of the two princes are strong and strong, full of the beauty of strength. Childe's compositional sketch is also similar. However, if this method is applied to calligraphy, it seems that it can go one step further and create its own school. ”

"Create your own faction?" The more Zhao Ji listened, the more distracted he became, and he stood up unconsciously, like a magnet being attracted by a magnet, and slowly walked towards Mo Yunxiao.

Mo Yunxiao studied the ink and wrote with a pen. Her wrists trembled, and her pen flew like a fly. Zhao Ji watched carefully beside her, like a student watching a teacher demonstrate.

Zeng Bu, Mrs. Wei and Zhang Di were all on the spot. I thought that Zhao Ji was proud of his talents, but he didn't expect him to be so humble.

What Mo Yunxiao wrote is the famous poem "Breaking the Array" by the Southern Song Dynasty poet Xin Qiji: "When I am drunk, I pick up the lamp and look at the sword, and I dream of blowing the horn and the camp." Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound, the battlefield autumn soldiers, the horse made Lu Fei, the bow like a thunderbolt frightened. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. ”

The font used by Mo Yunxiao is the "thin gold font" created by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong. This kind of font seems to be connected and broken, the pen is thin and hard, and the corners of the starting and turning places are distinct, which is full of powerful beauty.

However, at this moment, the young Zhao Ji couldn't help but have mixed feelings when he saw this poem that would only appear decades later, and the font created by himself more than ten years later.

He looked at Mo Yunxiao with an incredible look, and suddenly had an illusion in his heart, feeling that she was like a majestic shore like a mountain, and he could only crawl under her feet like an ant.

Zeng Bu and Mrs. Wei also gathered around to watch, and they couldn't help but praise each other. "Good words, such good words!" Mrs. Wei couldn't help but praise it.

Mo Yunxiao said with a smile: "Childe, please look, this word has exposed muscles and bones, so it can be named 'thin muscles', but the muscles and bones are not elegant, it is better to change them to gold." ”

"Skinny Golden Body!" Zhao Ji looked at this word with great surprise and said, "It's really wonderful! The word "sir" is indeed a self-inflicted school. Well, this poem is also very good, and it has the atmosphere of conquest on the battlefield. It seems that Mr. also has a passion for serving the country? ’

Mo Yunxiao said: "Since the founding of our dynasty, the sixteen states of Yanyun have fallen to the Liao State. Many people with lofty ideals naturally want to work hard to restore the old mountains and rivers. ”

Zhao Ji's spirit was lifted again, and he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Mountains and rivers meet bosom friends." I saw Mr. today, and I benefited a lot from it. If he is destined to do so, he will come again to ask for advice. ”

After he finished speaking, he took Zhang Di and walked out of the lobby with great strides. Zeng Bu was a little caught off guard, and hurriedly went to stay with guests, saying, "Zhao Gongzi, why do you have to leave in such a hurry?" Why don't you have a drink? ”

Zhao Ji stopped his steps, turned around, and threw his extremely godly eyes towards Mo Yunxiao. Mo Yunxiao was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other, which actually made Mo Yunxiao blush. She panicked and turned her face sideways.

Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said, "The coming day is long, don't be in a hurry today." He said this to Zeng Bu, but it seemed to be said to Mo Yunxiao.

Zeng Bu was stunned for a moment, and had to say: "The old man is not considerate of hospitality, and he also invites Gongzi Haihan." ”

"No, today is the best day of my life. Mr. Zeng, I will take my leave. After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he walked away.

After Zhao Ji left, Mo Yunxi, who was hiding behind the screen, walked out quietly. She hung her head and pouted, as if she had been bullied.

Mo Yunxiao looked back at her, smiled, and asked, "Yunxi, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Brother, you still scold me." Mo Yunxi walked over and said rather frustratedly: "I want to know that this Zhao Gongzi is the current official family, even if I borrow ten guts, I won't dare to rob you." ”

Mo Yunxiao greeted her and held her hand and said, "Why are you doing this?" I've never blamed you! ”

"But ......" Mo Yunxi felt very guilty and said, "But you had the opportunity to be a concubine." ”

Mo Yunxiao was a little surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Wei, and both of them laughed.

Mrs. Wei put her arm around Mo Yunxi's shoulders and said to her, "Silly girl, don't you understand your brother-in-law?" She doesn't want to go into the palace to be a concubine. How can an eagle soaring freely on the top of a snow-capped mountain be put in a cage like a thrush? ”

After she finished speaking, she also put away her smile, turned her head and said to Mo Yunxiao: "But Helu, I see that the official family seems to be extremely happy with you." I'm afraid that he will not be able to disobey the holy will of the day. ”

Mo Yunxiao also nodded approvingly, paced to the side of the words he wrote, and took a closer look. She couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly, and said, "I'm afraid that my momentary trickery will cause some trouble." ”

"Helu, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries." Mrs. Wei also came over and asked, "What are your plans?" ”

Mo Yunxiao groaned slightly, thinking of Zhao Ji's high-spirited and high-spirited expression when he left, as if he had obtained a treasure, he knew that he had planted a heart anchor for him, but this was far from enough. She wants to make him miss herself, to look for herself everywhere, so that she can deepen her impression in his mind.

Therefore, Zeng Mansion can no longer live.

So she smiled slightly and said something that surprised everyone: "Yuru, I don't want to cause trouble for you, let's move out." ”

"What?" Mrs. Wei and Mo Yunxi couldn't help but speak in unison. Mo Yunxi was even more flustered, and asked, "Where to move?" ”

"Our family sells tea, so naturally we have to move to a place where we can sell tea." Mo Yunxiao said: "The signboard of our tea building has to be erected again. ”

Mrs. Wei also became nervous and said, "Helu, don't worry. If the official family wants to force you into the palace, I will persuade the master desperately. There are also some ministers in the court who are honest and outspoken, and they will definitely not allow the officials to mess around like this. ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled gently and said, "Yuru, I have nothing to do with the official family if I want to leave. Thank you for the fulfillment of Zeng's privy secret, let me see the official family. Now that our wish has been fulfilled, how can we stay with you for a long time? What kind of system is this? ”

"But ......" Mrs. Wei was about to refute, but was intercepted by Mo Yunxiao: "Minglou is my father's hard work for many years. I can't leave it behind. ”

At this time, Zeng Bu came and saw that the three people had different expressions, so he asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Master, Helu is leaving." Mrs. Wei said to him.

Zeng Bu was naturally taken aback, and was about to persuade her, but seeing Mo Yunxiao's firm expression, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Mo Yunxiao sighed and said, "My family has suffered a great change, if there is no Zeng Shumi and Yuru to take action, I am afraid that our whole family will be beggars." I, Mo Yunxiao, are grateful. However, after all, our surname is Mo, if we live for a long time, how can we be at ease? ”

"The eldest brother is really excessive!" Mo Yunxiang's voice suddenly came from the back hall. She walked with Zhang Yun'er. Zhang Yun'er was constantly wiping her tears, and Mo Yunxiang looked arrogant.

Mo Yunxiang said with a straight face: "The female brother really regards herself as the head of the family. Our stay is also up to my brother's words, isn't it? ”

"Yunxiang." Mo Yunxiao paused, and then said, "You and I will talk about the grievances later." It's just that for now, we all have to leave. ”

"Humph! The dude said it so easily! Mo Yunxiang said, "Leave? Is there still a foothold for our Mo family in this city of Tokyo? Now who doesn't know that our father is a deserter, even if the signboard of the tea house is erected, will anyone take care of our business? ”

"Yunxiang!" Mo Yunxiao put away her previous domineering posture and became much gentler.

"In any case, we should discuss it together as a family, and we must not listen to your eldest brother alone." Mo Yunxiang was quite unreasonable.

"Humph! Uninformed pop talent. Mo Yunxi scolded.

Mo Yunxiang raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What did you say?" ”

"I said what's wrong with you?" Mo Yunxi also ridiculed each other: "Lai in someone else's house, you are still so arrogant!" ”

"How can this be true? See if I don't tear your mouth! Mo Yunxiang said that he was about to rush up and scuffle with his sister.

Zeng Bu and Mrs. Wei didn't have time to persuade them, so they heard a delicate break again: "Okay! Everyone saw that it was Li Xian Moth who came out.

Li Xian Moth inspected everyone for a while before saying to Mo Yunxiang, "Don't you want to discuss?" Okay, Yunxi and I both listen to Helu. ”
