Jiang Li

"Wait, I was the first to see this grimacing red lotus!"

As soon as Jiang Youyun yelled these words, many spectators immediately surrounded him.

Jiang Li looked at Jiang Youyun in surprise, only to feel that this cousin was too ungrateful.

"Young master, what you said is so funny!"

Jiang Youyun blushed slightly: "Okay, let me buy it with you, shall I? Make an offer!"

Jiang Li shook his head leisurely: "This thing is very important to me, please don't make things difficult for me, my lord."

"If I must!"

"Then go to die."

The answer to Jiang Youyun was don't give a sharp palm!

Don't rush up and wave one hand, shaking Jiang Youyun and others into the air and falling to the ground.

The people around are in an uproar!

Don't rush up and go up to make up another punch, but Jiang Li shakes his head to stop him.

Jiang Youyun fell into disgrace, his elegant image was ruined, and he was immediately ashamed and annoyed.Suddenly seeing a familiar figure coming out from behind the chattering crowd, he couldn't help but shouted as if he had met a savior: "Zuo Huyuan! Save me quickly!"

It turned out that the guest room had just been installed at the left door, and I heard that Jiang Li and Bie rushed to come here.Arrived in a hurry, happened to see this scene.

"Oh! The flood has rushed into the Dragon King Temple!" Zuo Yimen hastened to get his servants to help Jiang Youyun up, and he confessed to Jiang Li: "Mr. Li, this is Mr. Jiang Youyun Jiang, and he is the guest of my master's banquet. It was just a misunderstanding, please be merciful, Mr. Li, don't take it to heart!"

Jiang Youyun was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Jiang Li.

This person is also Shaohao's guest?

Jiang Li smiled back and said, "Since that's the case, I'm offended."

Don't get up and hum in the back.

"Don't dare!" Seeing Jiang Li willing to take a step back to save face, Zuo Yimen immediately burst into a smile.

Fortunately, it is Senior Xuanwang, this kind of open-mindedness is really very human!How could this Jiang Youyun, a mere eighth-rank Xuanshi, dare to be so arrogant!snort!

Jiang Li also had no intention of entanglement with Jiang Youyun.Since they were all guests of the Shen family, they turned their hostility into friendship and dispersed.As for the grimacing Chilian matter, Jiang Li would naturally not give in. In order to appease Jiang Youyun, Zuo Yimen could only promise to ask someone to help find him.

On the pavilion in front, sitting by the window is a noble young man in fine clothes.He shook his folding fan lightly, seeing all this with a smile.

The Shen family is different from ordinary merchants' families, but a real aristocratic family.

The aunt of the Shen family was Princess Wenxiu of the current dynasty, and the head of the Shen family was the head of the Northern Chamber of Commerce. The Shen family could be called a giant family, and its status could not be described as insignificant.

Shen Shaohao is not an ordinary young master either.He is not only the owner of the Qizhen Pavilion who monopolizes the treasure market in Chaling City, but also the deacon of the Chaling City Chamber of Commerce appointed by the imperial court.He was born noble and prominent, at the age of twenty, he is already powerful, and he is a real son of gold and jade.

Zuo Yimen was ordered to come and invite Jiang Li and Bie Feng to visit Shen's house.

The Shen family's mansion is luxurious and restrained, with a strong scholarly atmosphere.

It is known that Shen Shaohao likes to make friends with literati and refined scholars, as expected.Jiang Li and Bie Feng got together and were guided by the servants, walked through the corridors and pavilions inlaid with gold and jade, rockery and pool water, and saw a group of scholars wearing green skirts and Confucian clothes gathered in front of the garden in front of them.

The two of Jiang Li approached and listened, only to realize that everyone was gathering to watch a landscape painting called Frost Forest Tree Picture.

It turned out that the Qizhen Pavilion recently acquired a work by a master, and it was specially framed for guests to appreciate.

I saw a white awning snow scene in the painting, and the mountains and mountains can be seen in the white snow.The paintings are boldly written and full of momentum, pushing Beizong's magnificence to the extreme.No wonder everyone was amazed.

"From the point of view of the brushwork and ink, the painter should be Master Guan Hong from the Northern Dynasty!" said a middle-aged scribe with a white face and a green robe.

Some scholars were hesitating and did not dare to make a conclusion, but they did not expect that they were preempted by the scribes for no reason, and they suddenly felt bitter. They only blamed themselves for hesitating, otherwise they must be themselves who won the first place, and they would be able to make Mr. Shen think more highly of them.

Some open-minded scholars said with a smile: "That's right! No wonder they look familiar, brother Wen awakened the dreamer!"

The middle-aged scribe stroked his beard proudly: "Admit it!"

"Brother Wen, hurry up and taste it for us!"

"Young Master Shen admires learned people the most, Brother Wen must be the leader!"

The crowd praised each other for a while, and then listened to the steward to report that Mr. Shen was delayed by something, so please move to the front hall first and wait for a while.

The guests who came today are all looking for Mr. Shen, whether they are looking for glory and wealth, or seeking a way to advance. Some people also heard that Mr. Shen has the first-hand information about this auction, so they came here specially to find out .Even if they were "hanging out", they didn't dare to refuse, and they all went to the hall together, talking and laughing.

Jiang Li deliberately stayed behind, and after everyone had left, he went up to take a closer look at the picture of the Frost Forest.

Don't rush to look at the corner of the painting: "Is it really Guan Hong's work?"

Jiang Li was surprised and said, "You still know Guan Hong?"

Don't give Jiang Li a false look: "Don't be like this, I have some background too! However, I can tell from your expression that it is definitely not Guan Hong's!"

Jiang Li smiled noncommittally, and walked slowly to the front hall.

Don't put your hands behind your back and walk side by side with Jiang Li.

"I think it's very similar to Guan Hong's."

"Indeed, there is no problem with using the brush and ink, but there is something wrong with the paper. The surface of the painting paper is white and the lines are scaly and crossed. Although it is deliberately old, it can still be seen that it is the chrysalis rice paper that was popular in the Southern Dynasties. For painting, how can we use rice paper that will not appear until 100 years later?"

"So that's the case, why didn't you say it?"

"Why should I say that?" Jiang Li raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Everyone is happy, so I can't bear to disturb them."

"It's a joy for everyone, I can't bear to disturb it!"

A voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Jiang Li and Bie Feng got together and looked back, and saw a young scholar standing behind him at some point.The scholar was tall and thin, with a handsome face like a girl's. A pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes shone brightly, with a kind of classical and elegant beauty.

The young scholar cupped his hands and said, "I was about to go to the front hall, but I overheard the two of you talking, and I didn't intend to disturb you, so please forgive me!"

Jiang Li also politely replied: "It's just a joke, I made you laugh."

Neither of them had any intention of talking further, and after greeting each other with a smile, the young scholar passed Jiang Li and the two into the front hall first.

Don't be afraid to see Jiang Li's pensive face, so he lowered his voice and said to Jiang Li: "This person is indeed just passing by, not eavesdropping." over his ears.

Jiang Li nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Don't laugh and bumped into Jiang Li: "However, don't you think that kid just now looks like a woman disguised as a man?"

Jiang Li smiled and patted goodbye: "Don't talk nonsense!"

When the two walked into the front hall, the table was almost full of guests, and only the last seat was left.

Don't worry about Jiang Li's mind, so he comforted Jiang Li and said: "It's okay, let's sit at the end and go the fastest later!"

Jiang Li gave a faint "hmm".If he is really Jiang Qingzhou's class, he must be angry because he is not valued at the bottom.It's a pity that he is Jiang Li who is indifferent to gains and losses.It's just that I didn't expect the second son to be so careful.

After about half a cup of tea time, I saw a person turning out from the back room.This person was surrounded by stars and sat on the first place.

"Young Master Shen! You're being polite!"

"Young Master Shen is even more handsome than before!"

Shen Shaohao smiled back one by one.

This Shen Shaohao is exactly the young scholar Jiang Li just met by chance.

Shen Shaohao had already changed into a black bamboo and white robe, and his expression was graceful, showing everyone's bearing.No matter who compliments you, just accept them without judgment.

"It turns out that this person is Shen Shaohao!" Seeing Jiang Li's normal expression, Bie Feng couldn't help but wonder, "Why, you seem to have known it a long time ago?"

Jiang Li poured himself a drink, smiled and said nothing.

Then I heard a clear laughter coming from the far side of the yard, a young man in white clothes fluttering in his belt, walked slowly with a guqin in his arms.

"Shaohao, here I come!"

The person who came was Jiang Youyun.

The sun outside the courtyard was bright, Jiang Youyun walked into the hall with the shimmering winter sun in the courtyard, everyone's eyes lit up.

Everyone marveled at Jiang Youyun's beauty, but Shen Shaohao just looked back with a smile.Treat him no differently than anyone else.

Don't raise your eyebrows and roll your eyes secretly.He didn't like Jiang Youyun's sensational little boy the most.Looking at Jiang Li at home again, he suddenly felt that his eyes had been purified.

"This is the Yang Diao Guqin known as Fuxiqin. I found it with great difficulty, and I give it to you!" Jiang Youyun handed the Guqin to Shen Shaohao.

"Thank you." Shen Shaohao smiled happily, but he didn't reach out to pick it up, he only signaled to the left and right servants to put the guqin in place.

"Brother Jiang Xian also likes guqin? Why don't you play a piece and let me share it with you all." Shen Shaohao made a gesture of invitation.

In order to please Shen Shaohao, Jiang Youyun naturally did enough homework.

"Okay, then I'll make a fool of myself!"

However, until Jiang Youyun finished playing a piece, Shen Shaohao just smiled and didn't comment.When everyone saw it, they didn't know how to react.

Jiang Youyun was worried.He practiced this piece for a year, and played it all the way down without any mistakes.But Shen Shaohao's mind was too deep, he really couldn't understand it.

"How is he playing?" Bie asked Jiang Li in a low voice.

"I didn't play a single note wrong." Jiang Li replied, stroking the wine bottle.This is not the first time he has heard this cousin play the piano, and the other party can say that he has made great progress.

Shen Shaohao said with a smile: "If brother Jiang Xian doesn't mind, I would like to invite everyone to enjoy this piano."

"I don't mind."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Jiang Youyun's eyes, but he still managed to maintain a smile.He didn't know that Shen Shaohao could see his forced smile.

Shen Shaohao slightly raised his hand to the crowd, revealing a part of his gauze-wrapped palm: "To be honest, I love the Guqin the most. Unfortunately, I injured my hand the day before yesterday, so I can't play it. I don't know if anyone here is willing to play it for me." a song?"

Guqin is no better than guzheng. Nowadays, few people can play it, and some people can't even understand it!There are many arty people, but if it is not for the guidance of a master, and their own understanding, it is almost impossible to fully interpret the essence of Guqin!

Everyone looked at each other, awkwardly silent for a long time.There was an example of Jiang Youyun's failure before, but no one dared to try boldly for a while.

Shen Shaohao suddenly looked towards Jiang Li, and said loudly: "The two distinguished guests must be Li Qifeng and Mr. Li Qingzhou from the Li family, right? I wonder if Mr. Li Qingzhou can play the guqin?"

Everyone followed Shen Shaohao's line of sight and looked towards the last seat!
