The peasant boy of crossing

Wu Su said he wanted a picture of a scalper, so Li Xinyi really went to Grandpa Wu and drew a portrait of a scalper girl.

The yellow ox in the painting still looked like Wu Su remembered it, with brown fur and amber horns.It didn't go down to graze, but followed the ox rope and looked at the person who led the ox.

Wu Su also looked along the ox rope, and the boy leading the ox was outside the painting, looking at him with a smile.

But in front of the cow, there is a gray figure, wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, looking into the distance.The green hills are like Daisy, and the clouds are layered.Get closer, as if you can smell the watery, cloudy smell.

This look from afar, a look back, complement each other, not interesting.

"You draw better and better." Wu Su praised sincerely.

"It's too much to deserve." Li Xinyi subconsciously said modestly.

"It's really good." Wu Su emphasized again.

Li Xinyi just remembered that this was not Moquan Pavilion, he was not polite to be modest.

"As long as you like it." But he was thinking about the Pisces jade pendant at the bottom of the box.

At this time, Wu Su took out a jade pendant from his arms and put it on Li Xinyi's palm, but he walked out with the painting.

Li Xinyi was stunned for a moment, holding the ring-shaped jade pendant that was still warm in her palm, not understanding what Wu Su meant, so she quickly called him to stop.

Here Wu Su said goodbye to Mother Li and walked out.

Li Xinyi chased after him and grabbed his sleeve.

"Wait, Wu Su, what does this mean?" Li Xinyi held the jade pendant and handed it to Wu Su.

The texture of white jade is shiny and smooth. The jade is carved with the pattern of panchi, and the pattern of the cloud is lined with it.It is by no means any random jade.

Wu Su looked at Yupei, pursed his lips, and finally said: "I want to give it to you, so I will."

"Isn't it because I gave you the painting?" Li Xinyi asked.

"No." Wu Su replied.

Li Xinyi didn't know what to say, Wu Su nodded to him: "It's getting dark, I'll go back first."

Seeing Wu Su's figure disappear around the corner, Li Xinyi squeezed Yu tightly and walked back.

Li's mother nagged: "This child is not willing to stay and eat before leaving."

Li Xinyi smiled: "It's okay, Ma'am, I'm hungry, I'll just eat the extra food."

Li's mother said: "It is necessary to eat seven or eight percent full to maintain health. Forget about today, and you are not allowed to eat full later."

Li Xinyi said: "Yes, Aunt."

When the leaves of the plane trees in front of Li's house fell, the emperor died.

The emperor fell ill suddenly and was always under the control of the queen mother.Until his death, he did not leave any will.Not even fake ones.

Who will inherit the throne?This became a conflicting conundrum.

The capital was turbulent, and finally the "Deposed Prince" and the "Taishanghuang" formed a father-son alliance. In Zhenshuo, General Shi Xin, Chief Soldier of the Xuan Mansion, Zhao Yuanwei, Right Deputy Capital Censor and Minister of the Ministry of War, and Eunuch Xu Xu With the support of Chong and others, the "Taishanghuang" was restored and became a great treasure.

Li Xinyi is just a farmer who paints with peace of mind every day, and the affairs of the court have little to do with him.

However, Wei Shoufu's defeat meant that most of the money invested by the Wu family had been wasted.

In fact, since the beginning of summer this year, the news from the capital has been less optimistic.

Father Wu has not slept for two consecutive nights. It is said that Mr. Wei was beheaded at Caishikou in the name of treason, and his disciples and old friends were demoted and exiled.

Father Wu was very worried about whether his tea business would be affected, and whether his son, who was also from Jingning County, would be rejected by His Majesty.

It's a pity that there is no one in the Wu family in the capital, and now the news is blocked, and nothing can be done, and Wu's father is very annoyed.

Originally, Qiuwei was in August this autumn, but the emperor hadn't shown up for a long time, and it was still unknown whether this year's rural examination could be carried out normally.

Sure enough, until the end of August, the gate of the Gongyuan was never opened.

After that, the emperor died.

Father Wu had to curb his "aggressiveness" and asked people to run around every day, hoping to keep his family business, and asked the Holy Master if he would like to offer Enke.

As the person involved, Wu Su was very calm, he just read and wrote articles as usual every day, and he didn't feel anxious at all.Ji Shiying nodded secretly when he saw it, and if he could hold his breath and not be impetuous, he would definitely do something.

Zhao Yuan did not have the merits of being a dragon, but he made a lot of contributions in the restoration of the "Taishanghuang". The emperor wanted to promote him to be the Minister of the Ministry of War and enter the cabinet.But Zhao Yuan didn't understand the truth of "the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks", so he asked for a foreign post.

The emperor had just ascended the throne, and after the court had been cleaned, it was time to employ people.However, Zhao Yuan didn't carry out any other duties, which made the emperor very unhappy, so he was only appointed as a councilor and sent to Zhejiang.

After all, the Holy Majesty is a person who cares about old love. Soon after, Zhao Yuanwei was promoted to participate in politics and manage military affairs.

In the spring of the second year, the emperor issued an edict to open Enke. In August, the provinces and cities held rural examinations, and in the spring of the following year, a general examination was held in the capital to recruit talents from all over the world.

At the end of March, Liu Hui, the steward of Moquan Pavilion, wrote a letter saying that Mr. Zhao was working in Hangzhou Mansion, and he was going to open a new branch of Hangzhou Mansion.The steward of Moquan Pavilion in Chuzhou will be replaced by Qian Shu.

Liu Hui said tactfully in the letter that he hoped that Li Xinyi could live in Hangzhou for a period of time in his spare time, or send some paintings over, and he would pay for the postage.

Li Xinyi guessed that in Hangzhou Mansion, it is definitely not possible to require all literati to send their calligraphy and paintings to Moquan Pavilion for sale, as they did in Chuzhou Mansion, and Moquan Pavilion will draw a commission from it.

Even Zhao Yuan may not be able to suppress the local snake.

Li Xinyi thinks of the comic strips she made these days, which is a classic story of the Three Kingdoms "Battle of Red Cliff".

It's not that Jing Ning can't sell comics, but he is not satisfied with the price he can offer based on the market he has found out.

He accepted that "Romance of the West Chamber" sold cheaply, but he really couldn't bear to sell "Burning Red Cliff" at a cheap price.Just think how much hair he's pulling out these days.

In this era, there is no overlord to prevent hair loss. In any case, the money for the new work must be worthy of his hair loss.

So in his reply letter to Liu Hui, he introduced his new works in detail. If there is a new suitable theme, Liu Hui is welcome to give him suggestions.

Liu Hui's reply letter had not yet arrived. On this day, an unexpected visitor came to Li's house.

The visitor was about thirty years old, wearing a military scarf and a war robe, and riding a strong black horse.

Li Xinyi was very surprised, the first reaction was to give Wen Tongzhi a good time for him.

Because Li's mother was still at home, Li Xinyi could only bravely go up to her.

"What's the matter, Your Excellency?" Li Xinyi forcefully looked at the visitor calmly.

The man got off his horse and replied, "Is this Mr. Li's house?"

There is only one family surnamed Li in Wutong Village!

Li Xinyi stabilized her voice, and said sternly: "The villain is Li Xinyi, and this is the humble house of the villain. Dare I ask your Excellency to come here, is there something important?"

The person who came showed a little smile and said: "That's it, I came here to meet Mr. Zhao in the name of Mr. Zhao."

Li Xinyi was confused, and couldn't remember which adult surnamed Zhao she had offended.

But he still said: "Then please tie the horse to the tree and let the villain enter the house."

After seeing the ceremony, Li Xinyi asked: "Dare to ask your lord's name?"

The person who came said: "A certain surname is Fang, first name is Jun, and the word is regular. You can call a certain regular."

Li Xinyi said: "I can't afford Mr. Fang to be called a gentleman."

But Fang Jun said: "Master Zhao ordered someone to come here, because he wants to ask Mr. Li to come out of the mountain to help him."

Li Xinyi thought to herself, when he is a painter, when can he be described as "coming out of the mountain".

So he panicked and said, "The villain is just an unknown painter with no talent or virtue. I don't know what Mr. Zhao needs to use the villain for?"

Fang Jun took out a letter and handed it to Li Xinyi, "Master Zhao ordered someone to deliver it to Mr. Li himself."

Li Xinyi's eyelids twitched twice when she saw the vigorous handwriting on the envelope.

After opening the letter and scanning the signature, he finally remembered Zhao Yuanfu.

In his letter, Zhao Yuanwei praised the beauty of the West Lake and the wonder of the hidden spirit, and listed the scenery of various places in Hangzhou Prefecture.After all, he was born as a Jinshi, so there is nothing to say about his literary talent.

After reading the whole article, Hangzhou is simply praised as a fairyland on earth that is unmatched in the sky and on earth.

If Li Xinyi hadn't been from Hangzhou in her previous life, she would almost have been persuaded.

Painting requires sketching and the influence of beautiful scenery. Hangzhou is indeed a good place.

After Li Xinyi read the letter, the other party smiled and said: "Master Fang, please stay in the humble house for lunch. The villain's mother slaughtered a hen and is making soup. Please stay and use some, Mr. Fang."

Fang Jun didn't refuse, and stayed to have lunch with Li Xinyi.

Because Li's mother is a widow, it is inconvenient to see outsiders, so she hides in the kitchen and finishes her lunch.

Li Xinyi was a little unhappy.

After lunch, Li Xinyi said to the other party: "Master Fang, please wait for a while, the villain will write back to Master Zhao."

Fang Jun nodded in agreement, and Li Xinyi went back to the back room to write a reply to Zhao Yuanwei.

The four cihua cats at home surrounded Fang Jun at a subtle angle, and it seemed that as long as Fang Jun moved slightly, the cat's paws would unceremoniously wave up.

Fang Jun was amused, and wanted to touch the head of one of them, only to see that cat jumped onto the top of the cabinet with lightning speed and stared at Fang Jun.

The big yellow dog stood guard at the door of the kitchen, and Mother Li was in the kitchen.

Fang Jun could only look at the furnishings in the room boredly.

From the outside, Li's house looks like any other house.

Black tiles, blue walls, a small yard with a vegetable bed, and a sycamore tree planted outside the door.

Come in and take a look, the inside is no different.

It stands to reason that Li Xinyi is a painter, so there must be one or two of her own paintings hanging in the house.But no, the walls were bare, and there was a farm implement or two hanging in the corner.

Looking at the furnishings again, a square wooden table is placed by the west wall, and a wooden cabinet is erected on the opposite side. On the top of the cabinet sits a raccoon cat, which is a rare decoration.

It can be seen that the ground has been cleaned, but cat hair can still be seen falling in the corner.

All in all, these are nothing more than ordinary farmhouses and farmers. Fang Jun doesn't quite understand why Zhao Shenzheng attaches so much importance to this yellow-mouthed child who is not as weak as the crown.
