Chapter 41: Criticism
In the end, Jiangbei still did not send away the county lord of Qingge, but entered the prepared empty room with everyone.
In the large empty room, there are tables and chairs all around. In the center, there are no less than 200 paintings and calligraphy. Shen Qianfeng is not very proficient in the appreciation of ancient paintings and calligraphy, but the memory of the original owner is about this memory.
Shen Qianfeng sighed, her mother is stronger than anything else, this is the book of the entire library. Since she was read by Xiaoya that day, it slowly melted into her memory and she can never forget it.
Finding a place to sit down, Liu Yunni looked at Mo Xiaoci's eyes a little bright. The small mouth pursed gently, and then patted his head again: "You, you are the big girl in the Tianxia Villa?"
Just when I heard someone say that Miss Mo Da, there was an exclamation from outside the room. Four or five richly dressed little girls walked in, all of whom looked almost fourteen or fifteen years old. At first glance, it is a little girl who has not yet decided to marry, or a girl who has not yet married.
Shen Qianfeng had seen the portraits of the concubines and concubines of various officials of the imperial court in the Divine Pavilion, so he recognized them as soon as he came in. These people are the ladies of the various central officials. The last one who walked in lowered his head, as if he had just cried.
That person should be the concubine of Lord He Yuan's family, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, He Yuejiao! Zhong Li, the second lady of the family of the waiter of the Criminal Department, gently comforted on the side: "Don't cry, when I meet the Lord of Qianfeng County and ask her to go to the mansion to show Uncle He, there will definitely be no problem." ”
Although it is a bit far away, not only Shen Qianfeng but also Mo Xiaoci can really hear it. There were more than a dozen young ladies outside the door, and the invitations sent out were almost the same. Shen Qianfeng stood up and gestured towards the fourth prince Jiangbei. This is still up to him, after all, his identity and dignity. In the eyes of the royal people, she is still a daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door. Not really the Three Imperial Princesses.
Jiangbei quickly understood what Shen Qianfeng meant, and quickly said: "Today, this king is just a companion. The protagonists are all everyone's, the best Qianfeng County Lord in our empire, and the tea party held here today is just to meet friends with tea. It's just a matter of exchanging talents, and today's victorious side can get an unconditional help from the Lord of Qianfeng?"
The county lord of Qingge snorted: "Who doesn't know, the talent of the county lord of Qianfeng shook this imperial capital circle last year, if you see everyone, what hope do you have to win the championship?"
Shen Qianfeng replied with a smile: "Since this reward is from me, of course I will not participate." By the way, what would you ask for if you win?"
In fact, this tea party was for the Feng family, but the person sent by the Feng family was not the second lady. It's the concubine who is married to the fourth prince, could it be that this second lady has discovered something? So she hid at home and didn't dare to come out, maybe she hid with the last descendant of the Lin family?
The county lord of Love Song didn't hide his thoughts, and glanced at the person behind Shen Qianfeng with a smile and said, "I'll let her teach me martial arts for a year!"
The tone was not small, Shen Qianfeng said with a smile: "You want to be my junior sister, it's not impossible." It's just that what we cultivate is all immortal cultivation exercises. Your qualifications don't mean that you can't cultivate immortals, it's just that ......"
Shen Qianfeng could indeed see that this Qingge County Lord was indeed a spiritual root. It's just that she really can't tell whether the spirit root is good or bad. After glancing at Feng Qianqian, she saw her master nodding lightly: "Okay, as long as you can win all the young ladies present." But before I get to that, I'm going to ask you a question?"
Shen Qianfeng's eyes lit up, and he really didn't expect that this Feng Qianqian was really a roundworm in his stomach. None of her thoughts could hide from this peerless demon genius who had been killed out of thin air.
"You say, as long as I know anything I can tell you!"
"Your second sister, is she still in the house recently?"
The county lord of Qingge's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and then he muttered unsure for a while: "Maybe, by the way, my father's talisman seems to have been lost for two days two days ago." Later, I found it mysteriously. ”
"Okay, whether you can win the championship today or not, I will accept your apprentice. It's just that as my apprentice, you can't live in your mansion, you have to follow me to live in the Qianfeng County Lord's mansion. As soon as Feng Qianqian finished speaking, several young ladies couldn't wait to go towards the picture scrolls in the middle of the venue.
Watching and appreciating every peerless treasure, Shen Qianfeng didn't have the heart to think about it, because just now they got an important clue from the mouth of the Qingge County Lord. Whispered Tianjun out, ordered some things, and Tianjun left.
And the young ladies who were concentrating on analyzing the famous paintings did not notice the movement in the room at all. Jiangbei was sitting not far from Shen Qianfeng, looking at it in a daze. Shen Qianfeng on weekdays is an ordinary lady, and her appearance is so ordinary and impermanent. But now the Qianfeng County Lord in his eyes is as pure and sacred as the Nine Heavens Milky Way.
"Fourth Highness!"
A cuicui voice pulled people back from the dream, and it was not just the gorgeous fairy that appeared in front of them. and her own clever and cute little sister, Princess Jiang Cui.
"Brother, what are you doing? The way you stared at your cousin just now was very wrong?" Jiang Cui's eyes kept turning, as if she wanted to see some shocking secret in her own brother's eyes.
After all, the fourth prince was a few years older than these girls, and he quickly covered the panic in his heart. If she let her third brother know, she actually had bad thoughts about her future sister-in-law in her heart. Then tomorrow his head will definitely be hung on the highest tower in the imperial capital. Jiangbei still didn't dare to forget the matter of her maid back then.
"It's okay, it's okay!" picked up the tea, which was already cold. It's just that after drinking it in my stomach, I was extremely nervous.
The first person to walk out of the crowd was not the county lord of Qingge, nor was it He Yuejiao, who had just cried. It's Hu Meimei, the daughter of the Ministry of Works' family, with a pink and tender smiling face like a porcelain doll made in a New Year's painting. The sound is like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, and it really sounds like a fairy.
What Hu Meimei is holding in her hand is a picture of her affection for the landscape, if Shen Qianfeng is not mistaken. This painting is the masterpiece of Luo Yuyan, a famous teacher who dominated the painting world a hundred years ago. As long as you hear her name, you know that she is a female painter, and it is really not easy to be looked at by those men who are above the top.
"Back to the county lord, this painting is the only female painter in the history of the Qingyuan Empire. From the surface of the painting, it can only be seen that this female painter has regarded herself as a woman all her life. I can't serve the court, I can only place my love on the mountains and rivers. After seeing the vicissitudes of the world, he finally grew old in the mountains and forests and left a lifetime of sighs. ”
The girls next to her were applauding, but Shen Qianfeng suddenly splashed the unfinished tea on the small table next to her towards the unfolding picture scroll. Jiangbei was shocked and was about to rush up immediately. But it was still a step too late, and when the tea was spilled, the picture turned out to be a mess.
Jiang Bei's body shook, and he muttered: "Fake!"
Han Meimei knelt down as soon as her legs weakened when she heard the words of the fourth prince, thinking that these things were all put out by the palace inside. If such precious words are fake, then what about the rest?
The fourth prince used all his strength to find his voice: "Sister-in-law, can you help me see if these things have been dropped!"
Shen Qianfeng knew that if these things were given off by someone, it would be a shocking case. This case will definitely fall into the hands of the Criminal Department. He can use the power of the Criminal Department to investigate the conspiracy behind the Zhang family incident. So he stood up and said very seriously: "Today's competition question has been changed, if you can find a fake picture." The lord of the county will be rewarded according to the number of calligraphy and paintings. Is it a reward? It's an elixir for physical fitness!"
Anyway, I already have the information I want. I kindly helped the four princes with this great favor, if my man is unlucky one day, can he still rely on this backer.
So the ladies no longer think about what kind of painting has any artistic conception, and when they get the painting, they begin to distinguish. Feng Qianqian has been working in the dart game for more than 70 years, and she is very bright for these fakes. There were several times when Shen Qianfeng almost looked away, but Feng Qianqian was able to point out the place where he was not bad at all.
The four princes didn't dare to slack off, something so big happened. He first sent someone to the palace to tell his father about the situation here, and asked his father to send two experts in calligraphy and painting. However, when the decree went down, two officials of the Royal Treasure Building, two masters who were proficient in painting and calligraphy appreciation, committed suicide.
The emperor fainted when he heard the anger, if it weren't for Concubine Min being on the side. It is estimated that the emperor is really in danger this time.
In the end, after the emperor calmed down, he invited two old scholars from Guozi to go to Qingfeng Pavilion. Verify the authenticity of those paintings and calligraphy together.
The bright lights were lit in the Chunfeng Building, and none of the young ladies who were already a little hungry dared to leave. Because this matter is really too serious, what if they leave and bring disaster to their family?
Shen Qianfeng and Feng Qianqian were discussing the question of whether the last painting was real or fake with the two masters from the country. I heard a little girl in a floral dress, with a stomach gurgling and burping. Looking at the weather outside, it was already pitch black.
He said to Mo Xiaoci beside him: "Go to the restaurant next to you to ration the table of wine and food, everyone should be hungry after being busy." ”
The fourth prince immediately stood up: "How can you let the third sister-in-law break the bill, come and get everyone something to eat." Zhang Bing, the guard beside the four princes, immediately nodded and left.
Feng Qianqian looked at the yellowed scroll again, and slid it lightly with her hand. A light bright color appeared in front of the old pedant, and Feng Qianqian smiled: "I said that this is fake, you don't believe it, but this guy's method of fraud is really very powerful." I can't help but think of someone. ”
Mo Xiaoli, who was going to leave to buy a banquet, didn't leave, did he fake people with deep memories. Mo Xiaoli also remembered a person's name in his mind, and suddenly opened his mouth and burst out the name of this person: "Could it be fifteen years, Master Hong, a master of counterfeiting across the rivers and lakes!"
The only person in this world who can see this Master Hong is her wife, a village girl on the northeastern island of the empire. This is just a legend, and no one knows whether this person exists or not. Mo Xiaoci said: "Show me that painting!"
Feng Qianqian handed the painting to Mo Xiaoxi, and saw Mo Xiaoxi looking at the light and muttering, "It would be nice to be able to look at this painting with green light, I heard my father say it." Master Nahong was most fond of writing his name on his counterfeit fakes with a special medicinal powder. It's just that his pigments are too special, not the kind that appears when exposed to water. Rather, it is a substance that can only appear under a special light source. I heard that it was the powder of a highly poisonous butterfly that lives in the primeval rainforest. ”
"You said it's the powder on Lan Po's body?" Shen Qianfeng interjected.
The county lord of Qingge stood in the crowd, feeling that he was really humble compared to them. She was finally convinced, no wonder the fourth prince admired his third sister-in-law so much.
I thought that I could become an imperial concubine in two years, and I could also call myself and the lord of Qianfeng County a sister-in-law. Yes, there is also Shen Qianfeng's master, who is now also his own master. Could it be that this second sister of mine has done something sorry for the family.
Thinking of the talisman, my heart suddenly sank again. Under the appraisal of the ladies and the two masters of Guozijian, more than 70 famous paintings were copied and dropped. When she heard this answer, Feng Qianqian was also a little skeptical. In the end, he cast a spell to make a blue light curtain, and sure enough, a small Hong character appeared in one corner of the picture.
Feng Qianqian put down the painting in her hand and said, "This person is definitely not Master Hong?"
"Why?" Mo Xiaoxi asked with a puzzled face, "I think that this Master Hong has been living in my Cangshan Mansion." ”
Cangshan Mansion was the southernmost prefecture of the empire, near the sea. The entire Cangshan Mansion is the only barrier to the overseas Cangnan Kingdom. The base of the dart game created by Feng Qianqian's life is in Cangshan Mansion. It takes half a year to go back and forth from the imperial capital to Cangshan Mansion. Even if the Flying Eagle Transmission Book takes at least a month and a half, even if he can go to the imperial capital to do such a big case, it is impossible to escape the monitoring of Feng Qianqian's people.
The four princes still did not give up to find out the fault in Feng Qianqian's words, but Feng Qianqian extinguished all everyone's illusions with only one sentence.
"Master Hong was seriously injured by the enemy in a vendetta five years ago. Now that he has been paralyzed in bed for fifteen years, he is now in his last years. Thinking of this, Feng Qianqian's face showed a trace of fatigue.
