Who is Zhong Yao
After saying this, not to mention the silence of the others, even General Ashina was silent for a while before saying: "A very powerful calligrapher, he can be called the King of Zhong along with the calligrapher Wang Xizhi, and he painted the picture of the sage Lao Tzu." , there is only one authentic work, but there are many imitations.”
General Qi Bi was shocked and asked, "So scholars like his calligraphy and paintings very much?"
General Ashina nodded, "There are very few paintings of him in existence, but this picture of the sage Lao Tzu is the most valuable among them, so it is even more precious."
General Qibi confirmed again: "So this is the real thing?"
General Ashina was not sure, so he looked at Kong Jijiu.
Kong Jijiu nodded proudly, and was about to talk about the seal from the strokes of the painting, when Qibi Heli waved his hand and said, "I bought it."
The wealthy businessman who had exhibited the painting in April and hadn't sold it immediately lifted his spirits and hinted at General Qibi: "This painting is a bit expensive."
General Qibi asked directly, "How much?"
After hearing the quotation, it was indeed expensive, but he didn't give up, so he asked someone to go back and bring two things, and said to the rich merchant, "Are you asking for money, or bartering with me? For example, this coral tree is not rare in the world, but it is not easy to buy, if you want it, I will exchange it with you, if you don’t want me to sell it directly for gold and silver.”
The rich merchant glanced at the coral and a box of pearls he had brought out, and agreed to barter without thinking about it.
So Kong Jijiu could only cover his heart and watch such a good painting fall into the hands of a rough man who didn't even know who Zhong Yao was.
Even the eyes that looked at Ashina were full of melancholy.
General Ashina didn't expect Qibi Heli to do this either, because he knew that his painting was intended to be given to the savior Bai Shan, so it was not easy to grab his belongings.
This painting was given to Bai Shan by Qibi He Li after changing hands.
At this time, Kong Jijiu looked at the painting with regret as if he had lost a lover, and he said: "The painting is a real painting, and it is also a good painting. It is better in your hands than in Qibi Heli's."
At least Bai Shan knows how to appreciate it, doesn't he
But it still hurts.
There used to be a painting in front of him that could make his heart beat, but he had no money, so he missed it, goodbye, it already belonged to someone else.
If such a good painting is in the hands of Ashina, he can not only observe it from time to time, but also buy it from Ashina after collecting enough money, but if it falls into the hands of Bai Shan, it basically belongs to the Bai family. A family heirloom.
I don't know how many years have passed since it spread.
Kong Jijiu didn't think he would survive until then.
After being sad for a while, Kong Jijiu stared at the painting without moving.
Bai Shan could only say: "If you like the sacrificial wine, you can come to see it from time to time in the future."
Kong Jijiu finally looked a little better and nodded.
Bai Shan got such a good painting, so he naturally invited others to appreciate it, but he didn't invite many people, so he invited Mr. Tang, Yin You and Liu Shangshu, who might know painting and have a good relationship with him. come over.
Of course, Qibi Heli, the sender of the painting, was also invited.
Seeing that Bai Shan liked the painting so much, Qi Bi He Li laughed happily, and ran into the palace to show off to the emperor after the banquet, "Your Majesty's idea is good, Mr. Bai likes the painting I gave you very much."
The emperor asked with a smile, "What painting did Aiqing give him?"
"Zhong Yao's picture of the sage Lao Tzu."
Qi Bi He Li can be regarded as remembering Zhong Yao.
When the emperor heard this, he felt a little jealous, and quietly said: "I am the ancestor of my Li family."
Qibi Heli: ...
But the emperor said in other words, it's all just to tease Qibi Heli, he has too many things to do, so he didn't take this matter to heart.
It's almost the Chinese New Year, this year he has accomplished several major events worth celebrating, and this year should be a good one no matter what.
So he asked Qibi Heli, "How is the pension for the soldiers?"
Qibi Heli: "... I turn around and ask Zhao Guogong and Ashina?"
Why do you ask him such a question
He's not in charge of logistics, okay? Shouldn't he be asked when he will return to the grassland
By the way, when can he go back
The emperor didn't speak anymore, and he didn't want to talk to him, so he waved his hand, "Aiqing is tired from drinking and watching the ceremony today, go back and rest."
Qi Bi He Li also got up and asked before leaving, "Your Majesty, when will I go back?"
The emperor said: "Let's go after the new year."
He said: "Maybe Aiqing hasn't had fun with me for many years, but this year it's really lively."
Qi Bi He Li immediately said: "I'm fine, but Hu Bing, who is following me, will always go home for the New Year, so I ask His Majesty to reward them with some things, so that they can take them home to have fun with their families."
The emperor thought for a while, and felt that his internal treasury was still full, so he nodded in agreement.
He also gained a lot from the Battle of Liaodong. This time the Hu army made a lot of contributions, and he really wanted to give them some rewards.
Even if they divided up part of the spoils themselves before, what they took privately and what they rewarded were different.
Qibi He Li saw that he had won benefits for his subordinates, so he left contentedly.
After the crowning ceremony was over, Bai Shan and Zhou Man saw off the guests together, and in the end only Yin or a few stayed, planning to have another dinner.
Wei Yu was going to leave, but considering the princess's emotional instability recently, he also stayed, and then went to find Zhou Man when he saw the time, hoping that she could take a look for the princess, "I don't know if it's sick or not. What's wrong, I always cry easily."
He said helplessly: "Princess seldom cried before. The nanny who served the princess said that it is normal for a woman to cry when she is pregnant. Let me not take it to heart and be more tolerant, but I think..."
He paused and then said: "If people are neither cold nor hot, neither sick nor painful nor bitter, how can they cry? And they still cry so sadly. The princess must be sick, otherwise there is some pain somewhere."
Man Bao asked him, "Have you asked the princess?"
Wei Yu sighed and said, "I asked, but the princess always said that she would be fine after crying for a while."
But how could it be okay? She stretched out her foot to kick him angrily, and now she can't get better.
In fact, Wei Yu is also very confused. He is also a husband and a father for the first time, so he is very inexperienced.
After thinking for a while, Man Bao said: "For dearest relatives and husbands and wives, it's better to pay more attention to the princess. Some answers don't need to be spoken by the patient himself. .”
Whether Wei Yu understood, he looked at Zhou Man with a confused face.
Man Bao then turned around to look for Chang Yu, she took him to an upstairs building facing the garden, opened the window, and could condescendingly see the people talking around the fire in the open pavilion in the garden.
Man Bao turned his back to Chang Yu and said: "I've seen your pulse, and there is nothing wrong with the fetus, so you have a psychological problem, and the disease in your heart is also a disease, would you like me to treat you?"
