Wu Shiheng didn't have a good face. His upbringing since childhood made him sit still. There were many people in the hall and he didn't want to explain where the painting came from. He just stared at the painting in front of him. He had never seen the painting, but he knew it. This painting.
Chang Zhong smiled. He came here to watch a show today, and there was such a big show!
Minghui sat behind him. The younger uncles spoke to others, but he kept listening behind them. The capital was very lively when he left Beijing!
There was a lot of excitement in front of the appreciators. Zhuo Guyu was surrounded by people who were flattering and curious about what other treasures the Yong'an Palace had in store.
Chang Zhong lowered his voice, "Scheming."
Wu Shiheng sneered. It was more than just scheming. He started to appreciate the collection of Yong'an Duke's Mansion, with pearls and jade first. As you can imagine, he appreciated the last painting. He was concerned about Gu Sheng, "Are you okay?"
Gu Sheng held the tea cup with his fingertips, "What can happen to me?"
Seeing that Gu Shengzhen didn't care, Wu Shiheng laughed and said, "You are indeed my friend."
Gu Sheng looked at Lord Zhou Changzhi out of the corner of his eye. He didn't care, so naturally he didn't care. "It's an honor for me to appreciate my paintings together with Master Qi's original works today."
Chang Zhongxin said that his niece really has a good eye for seeing people, and this kind of kindness is rare.
Soon we arrived at the third painting. Everyone was stunned when they saw the painting. Someone asked, "What is this painting?"
Zhuo Guyu looked at Gu Sheng, "I asked Tan Hwa Lang to paint this painting."
Everyone looked at Gu Sheng, who picked up the tea cup and said, "Zhuo Bangyan spent a lot of money."
Zhuo Guyu's eyes were a bit cold, and the second place call was really harsh, "Who told me that Mr. Gu is short of money?"
The smile on Gu Sheng's face did not change, "Master Zhuo, do you still want to paint?"
Everyone in the hall was shrewd, and they all understood at this time that today's painting appreciation was aimed at Tanhua Lang. Some people despised Tanhua Lang in their eyes, while others were unwilling to say anything.
Zhuo Guyu was born in China and had friends of the same level. He accepted Zhuo Guyu's words, "I want to appreciate Tanhua Lang's paintings carefully. I don't know if they are worth Mr. Zhuo's money."
Gu Sheng stretched out his hand, "Please."
Chang Zhi had a smile on his face. If Gu Sheng didn't care, no one could hurt him. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. Unfortunately, it was not the time to get engaged, so he wanted to keep a close eye on him in the Hanlin Academy.
Gu Sheng's paintings were not up to the level of a master, so they were naturally criticized. Today, Zhuo Guyu invited many people generously. Those who were originally optimistic about Gu Sheng's desire to marry her have given up their thoughts today.
In the palace, Zhou Shuren's hand holding the letter kept shaking. After a while, he read it again and said, "Haha."
The emperor's eyes were a little wandering, "The twins can't come back now."
Zhou Shuren twitched his lips and said, "Oh."
The emperor laughed dryly, "They are outstanding."
Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes wildly in his heart, yes, he was so outstanding that he would not marry the princess unless he was the king, "Yeah."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "Okay, I don't believe you didn't calculate it."
Zhou Shuren was heartbroken. Calculating and coming true were two different things, "I'm your grandson."
The emperor also wanted to roll his eyes, "They will come back."
Zhou Shuren took a deep breath and said, "I want to digest the news."
The emperor motioned to Eunuch Zhang to take the banknote, "This is two hundred taels for this year."
Zhou Shuren's hands stopped shaking, he put the letter down, packed the banknotes and said, "I'm leaving."
"Go back."
Zhou Shuren came out of the political palace, and there was clear snow falling outside. He muttered, "The snow is falling really hard this year."
The little father-in-law helped hold the umbrella, "Master Hou, be careful of slippery roads."
Zhou Shuren paused, stretched out his hand to take the umbrella, and then took out a piece of silver from his wallet and handed it to his young father-in-law, "Go back."
The young father-in-law packed up the broken silver. They, the young father-in-law, liked to deal with Zhou Hou.
Zhou Shuren covered his face with an umbrella. There was no sign of being in Zhengdian. His face was very calm. He let out a long sigh. What happens in the future depends entirely on the twins. There is nothing he, the grandfather, can do about it.
In Zhouhou Mansion, Zhulan was very surprised, "Why are you back?"
Zhou Shuren untied his purse and said, "This is two hundred taels for this year."
Zhulan followed Shuren to the bedroom, "Aren't you going back to the household department?"
"I won't go back. I will rest at home today."
Zhulan brought over the casual clothes and helped Shuren change, "Is something wrong?"
The couple was in the bedroom with no girl around. Zhou Shuren talked about the twins, and Zhulan was also depressed, but there was nothing they could do, "Forget it, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Zhou Shuren could only comfort himself, "Changzhi and the others haven't come back yet?"
"No."
After more than half an hour, Chang Zhi and others came back. When they walked in, they knew that Dad was back, and Chang Zhi and others came to the main courtyard.
Zhou Shuren was leaning on his book while reading, and saw his sons coming in, "Look at the excitement on your brows, are you very happy today?"
Chang Zhong took advantage of the fact that he was the youngest son and sat next to his father, "Dad, there was an accident today."
Zhou Shuren also became interested, "Oh?"
Changzhong said about the paintings collected by the Yong'an Duke's Palace, "The future prince-in-law said that the paintings belonged to his maternal family, and his family still has the registration book."
Zhou Shuren sat up and said, "What a coincidence?"
Changzhi smiled, "It's such a coincidence."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and saw that it was not just the paintings that were robbed, "Isn't it true that the Wu family was robbed by the Yong'an Government?"
If we had known, there would have been no accident today.
Chang Zhong said, "It was the people below who snatched Xiaojing and brought him up, and the Wu family didn't know."
Moreover, the Wu family did not dare to investigate the change of dynasty.
Zhou Shuren leaned back again, "How is Gu Sheng?"
Changzhi said, "He is very open-minded. When his paintings were approved, he took note of them carefully. When he left, he said that he had gained a lot today."
Zhou Shuren smiled, and his son's tone was filled with satisfaction, "Everything has two sides, and it's good that he can take advantage of both."
Chang Zhong nodded. Although some people criticized him harshly, they also pointed out the shortcomings. Most of the people invited today were from aristocratic families, and the discernment cultivated since childhood was real.
Later, Gu Sheng became famous in the capital. In the past, Mr. Wen would not pay attention to Gu Sheng with his status, but now he remembers the name Gu Sheng.
Since appreciating the paintings, Gu Sheng entered the palace again today. Not to mention Zhuo Guyu was confused, and others were also confused.
Zhou Shuren was making a report in the palace. Gu Sheng sat aside with a pen and took notes. When the report was over, Gu Sheng stood up and left.
The emperor took a sip of the tea that was served and said, "I just don't have any ambition."
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "The emperor likes his open-mindedness very much."
The emperor put down the tea cup and said, "I've seen too many people playing tricks, so it's really good to do your job seriously."
He originally wanted to train Gu Sheng, but found out that Gu Sheng had no ambition. Compared with Zhuo Guyu, Gu Sheng made him angry and funny. Later, when he found out that Zhou Shuren was interested in him, he gave up on Gu Sheng.
Zhou Shuren, "It is indeed a rare character."
The emperor snorted, "Without the secret protection of the Zhouhou Mansion, his life would not be as easy as it is now."
Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "He is also capable, and he is very close to the future prince-in-law."
Your Majesty, "..."
It would be strange if they don't get along, neither of them are motivated.
