Chapter 22: Take the bait

Views:

Wu Xian was immersed in calligraphy and was suddenly disturbed. He frowned unhappily and said, "What is he here for? Shouldn't he be guarding in the shop at this time?"

The old butler of Wu Mansion hunched his waist and smiled: "I heard that there is a great masterpiece delivered to the door..."

"Best masterpiece?"

Wu Xian was stunned, his eyes fell on the calligraphy on the table, overjoyed, "Let him in quickly."

Under the guidance of the old butler of Wu Mansion, the middle-aged man entered the backyard of Wu Mansion.

"The villain has seen the boss."

Wu Xian greeted him with a smile, "No need to be polite, I heard that there is another good item delivered to the door?"

The middle-aged man bowed his waist and nodded, "It's better than the previous Chu Gongkai script."

The goodness of the middle-aged population refers to value, but Wu Xian wants to diverge.

Wu Xian's eyes widened, "It's better than Chu Gong's calligraphy..."

Wu Xian's breathing became a little hurried, and he rubbed his hands and asked, "Whose? Yan Liben, Liu Gongquan, Zhang Xu, wouldn't it be the calligraphy of the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi?"

Speaking of this, Wu Xian himself was taken aback first.

Before the middle-aged person could talk, he shook his head and rejected what he said, "It should not be the calligraphy of the calligraphy. If the original calligraphy is born, the entire literary world will be a sensation.

Chu Suiliang, Chu Gong, is known as one of the four masters of regular script, and his calligraphy can be compared to a handful of him..."

Wu Xian guessed for a long time, but couldn't guess, he shouted to the middle-aged man: "Quickly tell, whose calligraphy it is."

"Spring playing..."

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and uttered three words.

Wu Xian's pupils shrank, his eyes were staring, his mouth was shaking, and he said in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"It's a picture of spring play!"

"impossible!"

The middle-aged man repeated one sentence, and after Wu Xian confirmed that he had heard it correctly, he decisively rejected it.

"The picture of spring play has been given to the Liu family by the Queen. This picture is of great importance and has been kept tightly by the Liu family. How could it be pawned by someone? It must be fake.

Wu Xian made a final conclusion with a black face.

The middle-aged man glanced at Wu Xian, and said with a weird look: "Then what if the Liu family doesn't know the goods, then take it out for pawn?"

Wu Xian was taken aback and cursed: "What Chun Xi Tu means to the Liu family, Liu Mei knows well, how could he pawn Chun Xi Tu, unless it is Liu Heng, the unlearned prodigal son of the Liu family. …"

Speaking of this, Wu Xian was stunned.

Then, he looked at the middle-aged man in amazement, "It's not really Liu Heng, right?"

The middle-aged man nodded heavily.

Wu Xian stood there in a daze, and for a long time, he let out a sigh of relief, "At the residence of Liu, there is only this unlearned prodigal son who doesn't know the importance of spring play."

"That's an amulet!"

Wu Xian sighed and looked at the middle-aged man, and said with a heavy voice: "Is he going to die or live?"

"Live it!"

Wu Xian nodded, feeling a little moved, and he muttered: "If he is going to die, I really dare not accept it."

"Spring Play" is an amulet bestowed by empress Liu E to the Liu family. If Wu Xian wants to take this painting as his own, Liu E will not let him go.

To Liu E, he was just a bigger ant, and he didn't need a hand to crush him to death.

But the more so, the more Wu Xian wants to get the painting in his hands, play with it for a few days, and copy a few.

Although you can't claim it for yourself, it's also an elegant thing to explore the secrets of Taizong Long**.

The middle-aged man was stunned, and asked for advice: "The villain only knows that this picture is of great importance to the Liu family, but he doesn't know the doorway inside, and he doesn't know if the owner can help him out."

Wu Xian glanced at him and said with a smile: "Well, I will tell you about the doorway inside. In the past, the queen was sold by Liu Meifa, but was taken in by the official. Someone murdered the official and stabbed the matter to Taizong. in front of.

When Taizong learned of this, he was furious and asked the officials to expel the queen from the house.

The official family was reluctant to part with the queen, so they placed the queen in a separate courtyard outside the palace.

Since then, officials often go to other courtyards to tryst with the queen. "

Wu Xian paused, pondered for a moment, and then said: "After the official's ascended the throne, the queen was connected to the palace. In order to cover up the queen's past, he also made a special order to make the queen and Liu Meiyi make a golden orchid.

At that time, the queen was humble in the palace and had no status, and there were many official harem concubines.

The queen was worried that she would lose her official favor and could no longer protect the Liu family, so she chose this painting and gave it to Liu Mei.

Once the Liu family commits a crime, if the official wants to punish it severely, seeing this painting will think of the old feelings of the past and let the Liu family go. "

The middle-aged man knew it, and said, "I didn't expect that there is such a deep meaning in it."

Wu Xian smiled and said, "That's natural. A person who can be in power in everything has deep meaning in everything he does."

The middle-aged man wondered: "Now the queen is in charge of the central palace and the inner court, with great power, and the Liu family is in full swing under her protection. Doesn't this painting lose its effect?"

Wu Xian gave him a white look and said quietly, "As long as the official is here, this painting will never lose its effect. No one can say anything about the court... Back then, Kou Zhun was not right in the court, but now? The name is difficult."

The middle-aged man bowed and saluted, "Teached..."

Wu Xian smiled and said, "The reason why I took this painting at the risk of being punished by the queen has another deep meaning."

The middle-aged man was at a loss.

The old butler of Wu Mansion, who had been standing by and silent, suddenly said, "Master wants to use this painting to climb up to the queen."

Wu Xian nodded and said with a smile: "You know me... The work and the passing are just a thought. I put this painting in my bag, and that's a passing. But if I keep the painting and don't let it fall out, then It's work."

The old butler of Wu Mansion said with a charming smile: "The master has climbed Ding Xiang, and his position in the court is as stable as Mount Tai. If he can climb to the queen, he will surely be able to rise to the top."

A glimmer of pride flashed in Wu Xian's eyes, but his mouth humbled: "It's too early to say this. I haven't attacked Kou Zhun in the court, and in the eyes of Ding Xiang, I am not my own. "

"Master is humble..."

The old butler and middle-aged man of Wu Mansion flattered Wu Xian wildly.

When Wu Xian was photographed, the middle-aged man asked, "Master, will the villain take that picture?"

After all, Wu Xian was not stunned by the horse. He did not rush to agree, but instead asked, "Are you sure that the painting is genuine?"

The middle-aged man approached Wu Xian and said in a low voice: "The little man has seen the paintings of court painters with his predecessors a few years ago, and he knows their painting skills, the paints and papers they use. And that man has been serving Taizong. The villain has the honor to have seen a few of the paintings of his painter.

The picture of "Spring Play" that Liu Heng brought was very consistent with the artist's painting skills, favorite materials, and paper.

Judging from the color of the paper, it is a painting that has been in the old age.

What's more important is that the painter's seal is very unique, and he uses a dark seal, which most people can't see, let alone imitate it. "

Wu Xian gagged and exclaimed, "Dare to use seal when painting for officials?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "So the young man said it was a hidden seal. If you don't know the doorway, you can't see it. The young man also got the news from the posters of the painter, and no one else knows."

Wu Xian looked at the middle-aged man and sighed: "I am relieved to have you as the shopkeeper of the Donglai pawn shop. Since the painting is genuine, I will accept it. How is he going to be?"

Middle-aged humanity: "Live it, redeem it in seven days, and buy it for 20,000."

Wu Xian groaned, "Twenty thousand cans is not a small sum, but if you can climb the queen by this, you won't lose money, not to mention that he is alive and must be redeemed.

Twenty thousand cans in his hands turn around, and in the end they will return to my hands, and still make a lot of profit.

If he doesn't redeem it..."

"The master can just dedicate the painting to the queen, and directly climb the queen, saving the trouble of borrowing the hands of the Liu family to climb the queen."

The old butler of Wu's house smiled and added.

Wu Xian was taken aback and laughed: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Hahahaha!"

"Just do it!"

Wu Xian clapped his hands and instructed the middle-aged humanity: "Twenty thousand guanxi is not a small amount. If the money in the shop is not enough, you can go to the Ziqi Gambling Shop to withdraw it. If necessary, you can also save him money."

"The villain understands."
