Chapter 24 Ancient Paintings

The next day, on the way back to Beijing.

The long team set off from Minzhou City, and from [-]:[-] to noon, it was about half of the journey. The team stopped in Dongliu County to get ready, and left at the end of the day.

Zhao Tianheng couldn't stay in the soft sedan, especially noisy, and wanted to ride a horse. Concubine Dong Gui couldn't resist him, and was disturbed and had a headache, so she allowed him to be taken by Xu Shao, the leader of the Spring Hunting Guards.

But Zhao Tianheng still refused, pushed Xu Shao away, ran to the crowd behind, hugged Luo Yu tightly, and wanted to ride with Luo Yu, Concubine Dong Gui couldn't, so she ordered Xu Shao to escort.

As soon as the time came, the large army continued to march.

Zhao Tianheng was obedient and quiet, letting Luo Yuhuan hug him, he was a little afraid of Xu Shao, maybe because he thought Xu Shao had a fierce face.Xu Shao understood the little doll's mind, tightened the reins, and turned to Luoyu's horse to follow.Only then did Zhao Tianheng feel relieved, he turned around and pulled Luo Yu's skirt, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Mother and concubine said I can't leave the palace at will, can you come and see me often?"

He didn't call himself Ben Gong anymore, and his tone contained cautious expectations.

Although Luo Yu was the prime minister's son, he was not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned, how could it be that simple, but he couldn't help the little boy, coaxing: "If you enter the palace, you must come to Yihe Palace."

Zhao Tianheng immediately smiled and was in a good mood.

Luo Yu rubbed his head pityingly.

The team entered Beijing when it was dark, and the key ministers followed Emperor Wenxuan into the palace to return to their orders, while the rest went back to their homes.

After driving for a day, Luo Yu was also very tired. After exchanging greetings with a few acquaintances, he rode back to the house first and walked to Huajin Street. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a crow blue, but the man seemed to be in a panic, and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.

Luo Yu knew who it was, so he didn't go after him.After leaving for seven or eight days in a row, the old lady and Li Qingqiu missed him very much. That night, the family gathered together and enjoyed themselves happily.

Until early June, the days were calm and peaceful.

During this period, Mrs. Han became seriously ill once, and Luo Yu, together with her classmates from the academy, went to Huaixi Palace to visit and condolences.Of course, this made King Huaixi extremely displeased. After all, if the orphan of his dead brother lived in such a dilapidated small courtyard, if he was discovered, he would be stabbed in the back.

Therefore, before their visit, Han Donglin's mother and son were forced to move into the best Luoyu Pavilion in the east of the palace.

The days of studying are always free. As the boss behind Shanggutang, Luo Yu occasionally goes to the black market to find some good goods. The black market is deep, but there are many treasures, just need to slowly find them.He seldom misses. He only bought the authentic work of Master Wen Qingwen a while ago, and in the past two days he got the ancient painting "Painting of Dead Wood, Bamboo and Stone".

He sent Wen Qing's authentic work to Xu Shao as a favor, and as for "The Picture of Dead Wood, Bamboo and Stone", he placed Shanggutang and asked the shopkeeper to release news, so as to make Shanggutang famous, and he set out to fish.

Sure enough, within two days, Xie Taomin heard the news and came to ask for a painting.

Following Luo Yu's order, the shopkeeper showed him the painting respectfully and respectfully, and gave him a detailed introduction, including the artist, history, artistic conception, etc., but once Xie Taomin asked for a purchase, he politely refused—only for exhibition and not for sale!

Who is Xie Taomin?The out-and-out Liaojiang Mansion is a school, addicted to painting, and would rather sell it for a good painting, just like those poor scholars, even if they are too poor to eat, they still tighten their belts and buy two books.

He failed to ask for a painting, so he went to Shanggutang every now and then, and the bids were higher and higher every time. The shopkeeper was very firm about this, you came, good tea was offered, but he just didn't sell it.

After a stalemate like this for more than half a month, Xie Taomin worked hard to learn the way from the shopkeeper's words. The general meaning was to exchange things for paintings. The pearl inkstone is in the hands of Luo Yu, the prime minister's son.

Xie Taomin had the cheek to visit the prime minister's mansion again, he was empty-handed and generous, those who didn't know thought he was doing something serious.

For this upright representative in the officialdom, Luo Chengnan treated him with delicious food and drinks from the moment he stepped into the mansion, but he also ate his tea and food, and just sat there without talking.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Luo Chengnan couldn't resist probing, what exactly was he doing.

Xie Taomin straightened his clothes, drank a cup of tea slowly, went round and round, and finally got to the point - I'm looking for your youngest son.

The smile on Luo Chengnan's face could hardly hold back, Luo Yu stayed at the racecourse tonight and did not return home.

Xie Taomin paused, his cheekiness was comparable to a city wall, so he will come back tomorrow.

On the second day, he took the time to visit, this time he was smart, first asked if Luo Yu had returned to the residence, and when he learned that he was in the North Courtyard, he would not drink tea or eat, so he went straight to the North Courtyard.

Of course Luo Yu knew what he was doing, but she didn't want to expose it, and patiently listened to his twists and turns.Xie Taomin's mouth became parched, guessing that it was getting late, so he tactfully stated his intentions, willing to buy or exchange things.

This time Luo Yu was very talkative and said that he could change it, and then took him to the study.

As soon as he entered the study, Xie Taomin's feet seemed to be glued to the ground, and he could see straight away. On the walls of the study, there were more than a dozen ancient paintings, all of which were priceless, not counting the ones stacked on the shelves. .

"I don't know what you want to exchange?" Luo Yu asked, took out the carved wooden box, opened it, and there was a white jade stone dragon spit bead inkstone in it.

Xie Taomin came back to his senses, gritted his teeth, and said with a bit of heartache: "I heard that the young master likes Lao Lan's calligraphy. I wonder if "Ode to Mid-Spring" is acceptable?"

"Yes." Luo Yu said, pushing the wooden box over, "My lord, please check."

Xie Taomin waved his hand: "No need, the young master is a trustworthy person. I came here in a hurry today, and will send "Ode to Mid-Spring" tomorrow, will it work?"

The old fox obviously brought books, and he was eager to change them immediately. He saw a room full of ancient paintings, so he looked for a chance to come again.

Luo Yu knew it well, and said with a smile: "Then tomorrow, after Jun Yi is released from the hall, hurry back to the mansion."

Xie Taomin was very satisfied, looking at those ancient paintings eagerly, but because of face, he couldn't stay for a long time, and if he stayed again, it would be time for a meal, so he said a few words of thanks, and left in a hurry.

Luo Yu still wanted to keep him for tea and dinner, but she couldn't keep him, so she had no choice but to send him out personally.

Back in the North Campus, Luo Chengnan questioned him, Luo Yu avoided the seriousness and simply explained the reason, but Luo Chengnan didn't become suspicious, and only told him about his studies.

Relying on ancient paintings, Luo Yu got in touch with Xie Taomin more. He handled things smoothly and generously, often exchanging paintings for things, taking into account Xie Taomin's face and needs, it can be said that he has put in a lot of effort.

Over time, this relationship became close, and Xie Taomin would often invite him to his mansion to drink tea and enjoy paintings, which tended to develop into a year-end friendship.
