That little fly

It was already the afternoon of the third day when Princess Yongkang brought the paintings of the daughters of the boudoir into the palace, and the sage was having a tea talk with several cabinet ministers in the garden.After everyone had seen the ceremony one by one, Princess Yongkang talked about the garden party the day before yesterday, and the eloquent lotus praised all the daughters again and again, saying that today she specially brought some paintings into the palace for her father to have a look at.

"Well, let's palm your eyes." The sage greeted his courtiers, "You don't have to turn around and come to me with black eyes to ask for an order. Don't be afraid. I'm still afraid of blind marriage. Let's go together."

The paintings are all mounted, and these paintings can be seen in front of the imperial court once, get a few comments from the emperor Jinkou, and a few rewards, both the painting and the person who made the painting will be worth a lot. Those who participated in the garden party that day, after all, That's what I want.

The first one to be unfolded was "Dawn of Spring", a piece that Shui Qingqian had been quite optimistic about.

"Oh, yes, very good. This bird is well drawn, with both form and spirit, and a vivid charm. Was it drawn by a girl in Lord Zhai's house?" The signature reads.

"Master Zhai has a good granddaughter, and she has some true inheritance from him."

"You don't want to embarrass me again by doing 'good women's hundred families'."

Pulled out another one, unfolded it,

"Officials, take a look at this "Chuhe Red Carp", I think the brushwork is very delicate."

"In Duke Wen's mansion, I remember she was a little girl."

"Going back to the official's house, his youngest daughter was married to Ji last year, just in time for this opportunity, so I have the audacity to ask the official's family to be a matchmaker here for the eldest grandson Shaoyong."

"Hehe, I expected it all. Later, you have to give me a big gift to thank the matchmaker."

Emperor Jiayou was in a good mood, and at the same time glanced at Shi Ke several times, but he didn't see any movement from this vixen.Qingqian is fifteen in a blink of an eye, whose family, whose family, or whose family he is looking for?

"Zi Lv, come here and comment too."

"Well, they are all good paintings." Shi Ke summed it up in one sentence, "The meticulous brushwork is neat, dense and delicate, and it looks like it has been done hard work. Officials, the empire is full of talents, and women don't give up their eyebrows."

"The daughters of all the prefectures are well-educated..." Before Emperor Jiayou finished speaking, Princess Wen'an's "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" was unfolded. The painting is indeed a good painting, but the intention of the painting is not right. The saint feels a bit disappointing. He only glanced at it, said "Shang Ke" lightly, waved his hand, and passed.

Such a cold reception in the eyes of careful people can tell that the princess is not very popular with the emperor.Maybe it was the embarrassing incident at the garden party the day before yesterday, but maybe it was more because of Princess Wen'an's resistance to the marriage. The news of the marriage between Xie's Mansion and Yiyang Prince's Mansion was just released here, and she despised Xie Ming on the other side, and made it known all over the city. .Where do you let the officials put their faces?Could it be that the 'Hundred Zhan Gongzi' who was born in the Xie Mansion and was well-known in the imperial capital is so rare for a wife who was born as a princess, it must be you?Princess Yongkang guessed that her father would not wait to see Princess Wen'an from then on. In the past two months, Wen'an's marriage has not been mentioned again.

"It's okay to look at it. It's a little bit of success if you put your emotions in the scene."

"This is a good picture, and the composition is quite innovative."

"Look at this, I also mentioned a poem. The words are beautifully written, and the poem is not bad. It adds a lot of color."

One by one the paintings were unfolded, and the girls who got good comments would naturally add to the cake, and those who didn't get good comments, don't worry, the officials will send pens and inks to reward them later, and the ladies' garden party will be worthwhile.Go through it in front of the officials and get a few compliments, and you will have a good face when you marry.After seeing the end, the palace attendant still has the last painting in his hand, judging by the length of the scroll, it should be a masterpiece.

Princess Yongkang said, "When my minister brought this picture, I decided that my father and all the adults should see it last."

"You girl, why are you still playing tricks on your father?" Could it be that someone drew a picture of a day trip to the garden?

"It's just to show off." Princess Yongkang smiled on her face, but she sighed in her heart. If she wanted to show this painting from the beginning, would other ladies still have to live?Don't look at the official family and the important ministers who just praised those works in the boudoir like flowers, as if they are all masterpieces. This is because the monarchs and ministers praise each other. Is it true that their standards are so high that they can overwhelm these well-informed and learned people?But the last one is different, really different.

"Hey?"

"what!"

As soon as the picture was unfolded, various interjections rang out, and several adults could not help but stand over.

"Okay," the official couldn't help admiring just before he took a closer look at it, "What a painting! It's exquisite and majestic!" People were stunned.

"It's really a rare painting."

"The clouds and mists are steaming, the mountains are overlapping, look at the river... this layout is very skillful."

"Don't stick to formal methods, use brush and ink vertically and horizontally, crisp and wanton, have personality, have strength of character... a bit of Master Qingyun's strength of character."

"I think it looks like Gu Zi's legacy. Look at the artistic conception, which is far and deep, with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, like poetry and picturesque."

"The true way is 'the mountains and rivers are picturesque, how many heroes there are at one time'."

There are too many bright spots in a painting. From the details of the brushwork to the overall layout, from the artistic conception to the personality, they are all so eye-catching. If those boudoir works just now are just an excuse for them to put gold on each other's faces, then There are so many meanings in this painting.Dongzhou Empire, outstanding people, the existence of this painting reminds all the adults present that when the country is rich and the people are strong, outstanding people really exist, and it is not transferred by deliberate touting.

"This...is this from a woman's hand?" Shi Ke was the first to recall it.

There was another wave of explosions in the hall, how could they forget this.This was brought by the eldest princess from the ladies' garden party. Was it drawn by a girl in the boudoir?It's not that they don't want to believe it, it's that they really can't believe it, you, a little girl, have such skill in a single move, how embarrassing is it for the favored son of heaven in Taixue and Laiyi Academy.

If you want to study it carefully-several elderly adults have already taken a magnifying glass to examine it-the writing is not vigorous enough, and the handling of some details is not sophisticated and smooth.But this is not a defect, it can only be said that the painter will have unlimited room for improvement.It's a pity that she is a girl, after all, it limits the future.Otherwise, in their lifetime, they will surely see a brilliant and dazzling calligraphy and painting master turn out.

What a pity, what a pity.

If the daughter of this family is from a high enough background and the conditions are good enough, maybe it is possible...

"Hey, why didn't the payment be signed? Which girl is it from?"

Princess Yongkang really felt embarrassed, she knew it was a good painting, but she didn't expect it to be such a good painting, so she smiled wryly, "I don't know, the little girl got lost and went to Daoxiang Village, just in time to catch up with all the girls. During the painting competition, she thought it was a rule in the garden, so she made this painting."

Everyone never expected this to be the case, how talented this girl is.

"Then why didn't you even keep the money?"

"By the time she finished painting, it was already very late. Afraid that her family would be in a hurry, this girl put down her pen and ran away without saying a word."

The adults are a bit dumbfounded, Ganqing is still a confused little girl.But just a few words covered a lot of news: this girl is full of talent, but her family background is not high; I am afraid that she is still young, and she has the energy of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers; moreover...

Shi Zilaw!Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to this girl!

Emperor Jiayou inadvertently glanced at Shi Ke's interest in observing the painting, and suddenly the crisis hit him. He cleared his throat and pretended to be calm, "Zi Lv, why are you looking at it so carefully?"

"I'm just looking at it casually. This technique is still lacking in tempering." Shi Ke commented, and then left the painting with a look of indifference.

Emperor Jiayou is relieved...he should be relieved.

After commenting on the paintings, it was getting late, and it was time for all the adults to leave the palace and return home.Shi Ke took a step back, and the fox's tail was exposed, "The official, I want to ask the official for that painting."

"No." Emperor Jiayou was immediately on alert to guard against death.Just kidding, although he can't dictate to Shui Qingqian's marriage, he didn't give up his right to recommend it.Qingqian should not be promoted as a princess, at least she should be matched with a princess.Royal women can't do it, there are also clan women, if not, there are six duke's mansions, fourteen marquis' mansions...the number of women waiting to be married from noble families in the Manchukuo is not even a single one from a small family. Girl, no matter how good you are at painting!

"Really can not?"

The officials quickly found a high-sounding excuse, "I have decided to put the painting in the Kyushu Pavilion, so that more people can see it."

Show off your virtue!Shi Ke complained.

"Then when everyone finishes watching..."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." The sage's procrastination formula is perfect.

Evening, Ningrenhou Mansion

"As expected." Shui Qingqian was not too surprised.

Ning Renhou looked at his son's understatement, but his subordinates rubbed Yuan Bao's hair into a mess, and his gloomy face was still wandering, he didn't know what he was trying to figure out, so he shook his head helplessly.

Shui Qingqian is criticizing herself: One insufficient plan needs to be made up with a thousand plans... Lesson, this is a profound lesson!It's too late to say anything now, I have to plan well and get the painting back.

It's not that the water is clear and shallow, but that he can't afford to lose others.

If he copied it on weekdays, he would throw it away, and he didn't care if it was sold as fake.But the problem is that this is the first painting full of Shui Qingqian's personal style. From painting style to brushwork, from personality to habits, it is completely Shui Qingqian's personal characteristics.In other words, if there are no major changes in his lifetime, then his writing style will probably be like this.

People speak words like they are people, in fact, painting is the same.A painting is equal to the face of the painter.If Shishilang draws a picture, no need to look at the signature, an expert will know it is Shishilang's handwriting at a glance.Why?Everyone recognizes Shishilang's 'face'. Similarly, the painting of Qingshui has become his 'face' to some extent.In the world of Danqing, this 'face' is his identity, whether you sign it or not, whether you admit it or not, your 'face' is there, do you expect everyone to not recognize it?For such and such reasons, can the water be clear and shallow?In the future, he will make friends with paintings, and when he writes, he typically does not call himself.

--Why!Oh, it turned out that the little sparrow at the ladies' garden party that day was clear and shallow!

—Are you dressed as a woman?

Stripping the vest is always the biggest tragedy in the world.

Even if he was killed, he couldn't let this handle fall outside.

Therefore, the painting must be brought back, even if it is tricked and abducted!

"What, you still want to go?" At this time, the beautiful lady stood in front of her, but Meng Shaogang's eyes were like looking at a little monster, "Didn't you get into trouble?" Who is it? If you want to get the painting back, the fox's tail has not been taken back here, and you turn around and go to the house to steal the chicken?

"Everything is different." Shui Qingqian took a serious and responsible attitude, "If you want revenge, you have to find the painting."

What the hell!

What happened to you, the princess, you have risen to the level of 'revenge' in just a few days?

"Do you know how much evil you have done?" Meng Shaogang really couldn't stand it, "Fang Fei laughed like a crazy woman yesterday, and she went to gossip with me about the bees and butterflies, and now the upper class is spreading it privately It’s all over. You are so cruel.” Meng Shaogang thought that adding honey to the dye was a deliberate trick by Shui Qingqian.

Shui Qingqian asked back, "Then you know that people from Yiyang Palace were checking the resumes of officials surnamed Qian the day before yesterday, especially those officials surnamed Qian who have fourteen or fifteen-year-old daughters?"

"She wants to check on you?" Meng Shaogang frowned.

"I went to several families and smashed and beat them. I even tied up a dozen little girls to the Yiyang Prince's Mansion. All of them were released yesterday with their faces swollen like pigs' heads." of.There is no bitter person to sue Yiyang Palace, not to mention Shi Ke's legal office, even Yingtian Mansion can't manage it, at most Yushitai is complaining about people.Shui Qingqian has no good impression of Princess Wen'an now.It's also because Tan Shangshui Qingqian's character is not good, from Princess Yuegui to Princess Wen'an, from a group of phoenix girls laughing at little sparrows to prostitutes on the street, he has met all the best.So at this moment, he is required to attack a girl repeatedly, without any psychological barriers. What kind of good man doesn't fight with women, pity the woman... Sorry, what he learned is: facing the enemy, one blow is fatal, and it hits the dirt , step on one foot, never turn over! ! ! !

Of course I want to get my paintings back, but it has been decided long ago that I will not be next to him in the peach blossom feast.Piano, chess, poems and paintings, poems and songs, four books and five classics, nine abilities and six arts... There must be no difference in attacking the best Phoenix girl!All around!Attack without dead ends!Danqing is just an appetizer, Princess Wen'an is just waiting to cry! ! !

Meng Shaogang saw that the man was determined to fight to the end, so he didn't care, anyway, he was just playing tricks.However, one should really admire Shui Qingqian, this little Feitian was really an evildoer that day.After four months in the Taixue, he convinced Yuan Mu, the chief talent; half a month in the military camp, he marveled at the generals of half the empire; , the group is destroyed.

Today is the Peach Blossom Banquet, there must be no lack of rhythm and singing and dancing on the scene to add to the fun, I also know what kind of grand occasion it will be, the water is clear and shallow, obviously fearless and confident.Meng Shaogang sighed, "I really didn't expect that you can even dance."

"What?" Shui Qingqian turned around abruptly.

"What, what?" Meng Shaogang was also stunned, "This is a peach blossom feast, there must be singing and dancing to add to the fun, don't tell me it's your first time participating."

The Peach Blossom Banquet was similar in nature to the Spring Banquet in Dong'an County Prince's Mansion. It was an old tradition of the empire. It was specially prepared for these upper-class young men and women, and various entertainments were added to the fun during the banquet.There are foreign envoys here this year, so I don't need to think about it, and I know that this kind of self-entertainment will eventually turn into a show of talent.Opportunities to fight for face with the officials are rare.The Ladies Garden Party yesterday was a good example.Today's Peach Blossom Banquet is another occasion.

Shui Qingqian deliberately chose the Peach Blossom Banquet as the second round to attack Phoenix Girl. Of course, she had made preparations: Heqin, Harmony, Harmony, Guqin, Guzheng, Guxun... Even Kunqu Opera, Antiphonal Songs, Fuge...all of them Let the horse come, who is he afraid of?

but,

"You said dancing?"

Meng Shaogang nodded with a grim face, word by word, slowly, "Mr. Qingqian, I think you must have forgotten that as a girl! The peach blossom banquet talents include, but are not limited to, playing the piano with harmony, and singing and dancing. Something happened."

Shui Qingqian: "..."

Meng Shaogang: "..."

Shui Qingqian said weakly, "Not necessarily."

Meng Shaogang: "What do you think, Lord Qian?"

Shui Qingqian: "..."
