At this moment, everything seemed to slow down, the chicken's demeanor and movements were infinitely slowed down, and the shaking of every feather seemed to clearly fall into Yi Ci's eyes.

The posture when singing, the posture of fluttering wings, the posture of looking around, and the posture of standing with head held high, all these postures have created a lively and energetic colorful golden pheasant in Yi Ci's heart.

A gust of Qi gushed out from Yi Ci's chest and circulated throughout his body, giving Yi Ci an urge to try.He couldn't wait to turn his head and enter the door, which was closed heavily, leaving the two of Qiu Lianglan staring outside.

After a lot of tossing, the two finally caught the three golden pheasants.The two were out of breath, with a few red feathers stuck to their heads, looking extremely embarrassed.

Qiu Liang tightly grasped the wings of the two golden pheasants, his eyes lit up and said: "Finally there is meat, should this chicken be roasted or stewed?"

Lan's breath calmed down a little, and when she heard Qiu Liang's words, she refused without even thinking about it: "No way! Three chickens came flying from nowhere with great difficulty, and they were gone after eating. I see these three golden pheasants, respectively. It’s two females and one male. Why don’t you take this male to make soup for adults to nourish your body, and raise the remaining two females to lay eggs for adults to eat.”

Qiu Liang swallowed his saliva and said, "Then why don't you eat one of the females, leaving a male and a female to lay eggs and hatch more chicks?"

Lan's: "..."

After thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong.

However, Lan recalled the vivacious figure of the little palace maid jumping up and down when she was catching the chicken, and said strangely for a while: "Why are you so tiger? You don't look like a girl, but like a boy."

Qiu Liang's body froze, and he said with a sneer: "I have been chasing chickens and dogs since I was a child, so I am more flexible than others."

……

Yi Ci closed the door, his mind was full of the expression and appearance of the colorful golden pheasant.

He spread the painting silk, ground the ink, picked up the pen and quietly closed his eyes and meditated for a while, constructing a picture in his mind.

The mountains are deep and clean, and the mountains are moist with morning dew. In the distance is a steep and rugged stone wall. On the stone wall is a healthy and ostentatious green pine. Nearby is a strange big rock with lush orchid grass at the foot of the stone.A bright red golden pheasant stands proudly on the stone.This golden pheasant has a flexible demeanor and a leisurely posture, as if it is being bathed in the morning light.

After composing the picture, Yi Ci was already well-prepared, picked up the brush and dipped the ink in one go, outlined the whole picture on the silk with fine lines, and then evenly spread the white made of clam powder on the back of the silk.

This step is called "coloring", because the silk cloth is thin and difficult to color, so it is necessary to paint white on the back of the silk cloth to set off the color on the front of the silk painting.

After finishing this step, Yi Ci turned back to the front of the silk painting, spread the color with light ink in sequence, blended layer by layer, and repeated coloring with the prepared color, and finally drew the line with a stone badger pen with a slightly tougher tip... …

After going through a series of tedious and delicate steps, this painting of "Pine and Rock Golden Pheasant" has been completed.

I saw a golden pheasant, bright red in color, appearing in the center of the picture, vivid and vivid, as if it was about to fly out of the painting silk from the forest in the next moment.Behind the golden pheasant, the ancient pines, clouds and mist and the steep and layered mountains complement each other, making the picture more profound and elegant.

Yi Cichang let out a breath, and looked out the window, it was already late at night.There was still a bowl of cold soup on the table not far away, the whole room was brightly lit, and Qiu Liang was lying on the other side of the long table, already asleep.

When Yi Ci woke up Qiu Liang, Qiu Liang woke up suddenly, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "It's dawn?"

Yi Ci shook her head: "It's still late at night."

Qiu Liang remembered that he saw that it was getting dark before, but Yi Ci still did not come out, so he pushed open the door and came in to light the lamp.At that time, Yi Ci was concentrating on painting and didn't notice him at all. Now Yi Ci took the initiative to wake him up, could it be...

"Are you finished?"

Qiu Liang jumped up and rushed to the painting table to have a look. Those who saw the painting couldn't help sighing: "Great! Now just ask Luo An to bring this painting to Wei Yushu, and the rest is up to you." Leave it to him."

Day two.

The silk painting was completely dry, and Yi Ci rolled up the painting tightly and called Luo An.

The painting was delivered to Wei Yushu that day.

For more than a month, Wei Yushu disguised himself as an ordinary-looking scribe, and was quickly appreciated by Li Run, a minister who was close to King Qin.

With Li Run's strong recommendation, Wei Yushu has already met Qin Wang Gu Zheng twice.

However, when Wei Yushu met Qin Wang Guzheng these two times, instead of showing his true talents and learning, he put on a pedantic and conservative appearance.This annoyed Gu Zheng, the King of Qin, even annoyed seeing Li Run.

The reason why Wei Yushu did this was to take Joe, and also to test the truth of King Qin's thirst for talents and his determination to govern the country well.

After these two meetings and conversations, Wei Yushu saw that Gu Zheng was indeed looking for talents at all costs, and he had a passion in his heart to carry out a reform to realize his ambitions, which made Wei Yushu appreciate him a little.

Wei Yushu was in the room thinking about what to say when he met the King of Qin for the third time. Did he point out the crisis in Qin State in one sentence?Or point out the current disadvantages and propose the governance measures that Qin needs most at present?

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

After a short and loud knock on the door, the outside fell into silence.

Wei Yushu knew that it was Luo An who came.

He opened the door, and his sharp eyes immediately noticed the long scroll on Luo An's back. His pupils shrank a little, but his expression didn't change much. He was calm and almost cold.

He took the tightly wrapped long scroll from Luo An's hand, quickly took it to the side of the long table and spread it out.

Wei Yushu's movements were not slow or fast, and his slender fingers were very gentle, as if he was touching the face of his beloved.

When the half-person-high long scroll slowly unfolded in front of his eyes, Wei Yushu saw the "Pine and Rock Golden Pheasant Picture" painted by Yi Ci overnight, his cold and rational eyes finally changed, and he showed a faint smile, which was not bad. Satisfied, he said, "I have made some progress."

However, when Wei Yushu's gaze fell to the bottom of the painting, he frowned slightly.

This "Golden Pheasant on Pine Rocks" is a masterpiece of both painting and calligraphy, but there is only one thing missing - stamping.

Without a seal, there is no way of knowing who made the painting, and without the name of the painter, there is no way to accumulate fame.

Seeing that Wei Yushu had accepted the painting, Luo An prepared to leave.

Wei Yushu stopped Luo An with a loud voice, and said to Luo An: "This painting is not stamped. After you go back, send a message to Yi Ci, asking him to think of a pseudonym and write it to me. I will give it to him according to his handwriting. Carve a chapter."

Luo An nodded, jumped up, and disappeared here with a few steps.

……

"Pseudonym?" Yi Ci frowned and thought for a while.

Thinking that his paintings and calligraphy would be sold, so he had to adopt a pseudonym, Yi Ci felt nervous and ashamed.

What is nervous is that he is worried that no one will appreciate his paintings and will become a laughing stock; what is ashamed is that he claims to be noble, but now, like a businessman, he is worried about whether his paintings can be sold at a good price.

Qiu Liang couldn't understand Yi Ci's complicated and entangled thoughts, crossed his hands behind his head and said, "Isn't this normal? The higher the selling price, the more people want to buy the painting, the more it proves that your painting is valuable. Is it worth it?"

Yi Ci was persuaded a little by Qiu Liang. Although his brows were still furrowed, he began to honestly think about his future pseudonym.

The pseudonym is very important, it is equivalent to his second identity, an unfettered identity that exists completely apart from the first identity.

Yi Ci recalled the past when he hid in the middle of the night painting and practicing calligraphy. Now he can paint and paint as he wants. No one can accuse him of playing with things and losing his mind. It's just that the kingdom left to him by his father has also perished...

Yi Ci only felt a sore nose, sadness came from it, and it couldn't be cut off, he couldn't help but sighed to the sky: "Now I'm an idler, why not call me Wanbei idler!"

Yi Ci worked hard to write the book in one go. After finishing writing, he didn't even look at it. He handed the rice paper to Luo An, and said sadly, "Take it."

Qiu Liang couldn't help but said: "You look like those old men who have no ambitions."

Yi Ci: "...Qiu Liang, you want to be punished, don't you?"

……

When Wei Yushu got the pseudonym written by Yi Ci, his calm face seemed to be cracked, but he quickly recovered his calm look of ancient well and said to Luo An: "You come to my place tomorrow, and follow me to a place."

After Luo An left, Wei Yushu closed the door, took off the thin human leather gloves he was wearing, and revealed a pair of hands that were so white that every blue vein could be clearly seen.

This pair of hands carved out of beautiful jade groped the wall inch by inch, and finally took a stone from the wall.

There is an empty space behind the stone, and there is a finely carved wooden box of maroon color.

Afterwards, Wei Yushu took out a small piece of agarwood wood from the wooden box one by one, dozens of carving knives with blades of different sizes, and carved on this piece of agarwood that exudes an elegant and strong fragrance with great concentration.

Until midnight, Wei Yushu finally carved this two-finger long and wide seal.

This seal not only perfectly reproduces the three characters "Wan Bei Xianren" written by Yi Ci on the seal, but also has a simple and beautiful shape, and the details are perfect, which can be called ingenious.

Wei Yushu stroked the seal with his fingers, and said to himself, "He should like it."

On the second day, the "Pine and Stone Golden Pheasant Picture" stamped with the seal of Wanbei Xianren was sent to the old man Songyun, the owner of Yangxue Pavilion, who was over sixty years old.

Old man Songyun has a very respected position in the literary and painting circles, and his profound attainments in calligraphy and painting can be called a generation of masters.At the same time, the old man Songyun is also a great collector, with a pair of vicious eyes that can distinguish the mundane.

Seeing the painting slowly opened in Luo An's hands, this hale and respectable old man stared at the scroll for a moment, then stood up abruptly.

He immediately stepped forward to take a closer look at the painting, the more he looked at it, the more amazed he became.

The more people who understand painting, the more they can taste the essence of this picture.

Whether it is the painting itself or the few lines of writing on the painting, this "Pine and Rock Golden Pheasant" has reached a very high level of skill.What's even more wonderful is that the inscription on this picture and the artistic conception composition of the whole picture have reached a level of perfect harmony, complementing each other.

The words on the painting complement the large blank space of the whole picture, and at the same time express the artistic conception of the painting more profoundly. The two complement each other and have a long lasting charm.

The sharp eyes of the old man Songyun noticed the stamp on the painting, and he couldn't help stroking his beard and letting out a long sigh of relief: "What a sad and idle person! The words on this stamp are sparse and thin, and they are so strong that they penetrate the back of the paper. How proud and unyielding Wanbei Xianren must be! Presumably he should be an expert who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests like idle clouds and wild cranes!"

The old man Songyun then asked Wei Yushu: "Where did you get this painting? Who is this Wanbei idler, and why is there such a skill that the world has never heard of?"

The wealthy businessman Wei Yushu pretended to ask Luo An to raise his hand to put away the picture scroll, turned to look at the old man Songyun, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "As the old man said, the Wanbei idler is an expert who lives in seclusion in the mountains. I got to know this man by chance. The master was also amazed at the skill of Wan Bei Xian Ren, and couldn't bear to let these calligraphy and paintings get dusty. So after my persuasion, Wan Bei Xian Ren finally agreed to hand over these calligraphy and paintings to my subordinates, so that I can find a good place for these calligraphy and paintings."

A light flashed in Songyun's eyes and said: "So, not only this one painting, but also many calligraphy and paintings to be seen in the future?"

Wei Yushu nodded and smiled, "That's natural."

The old man Songyun also laughed: "So, it seems that it is necessary to hold a painting conference for this "Pine and Rock Golden Pheasant"."

The old man Songyun is not only a master of calligraphy and painting, a collector, but also one of the richest businessmen in the world, who runs the well-known Yangxue Pavilion.He naturally understood the meaning of Wei Yushu's words, and at the same time smelled a huge opportunity.

Only when the name of Wanbeixianren really rises, the prices of calligraphy and paintings of Wanbeixianren will naturally rise, and they will be sought after by people.

The date of the painting conference is scheduled to be after January.

And this day was just seven days after the wedding of Yi Ci and Gu Zheng.

The old man Songyun not only bought his painting at a price that Yi Ci had never imagined, but also decided to hold a painting exhibition just for his painting!

Even Yi Ci, who was once a monarch, felt that the price was too high.

After receiving the news from Luo'an, Yi Ci couldn't sleep that night.

He was lying on the bed, his eyes wide open in the darkness, and he felt that everything was like a dream.Since the subjugation of the country, his mood has never been the same as it is today, light and floating as if in the clouds.

It turns out that his calligraphy and paintings are worth so much money.

Yi Ci's thoughts surged with regard to the painting competition that will be held in January. He wants to participate in the painting competition, but he is currently trapped in the palace, and without Gu Zheng's order, he will definitely not be able to leave the palace.

But how can Gu Zheng agree to leave the palace?Do you want him to be soft on Gu Zhengfu?

Do not!This is absolutely impossible!

The anger of hatred ignited in Yi Ci's heart, Gu Zheng destroyed his country, how could he shamelessly subdue Gu Zheng!

Thinking of this, Yi Ci's mood fell instantly, he pulled the quilt to cover himself, and sighed softly.

The author has something to say: Gu Zheng: When is it my turn to play?Why haven't I married a wife yet after five chapters?
