Gu Jiu is not a person who likes to talk. When going down the mountain, Qixuan could only listen to the chirping of the birds.
Halfway through, Qi Xuan said, "The letter I wrote last time, did you send it to the capital?" It was so boring to go down the mountain with Gu Jiu. Next time, he will bring Ai Hua out. However, if you bring your children down the mountain, you must be able to get rid of that county prince.
"no."
Qi Xuan was a little angry: "How can you not send the letter out? You just watched so many people being exploited and bullied by that dog official?"
Gu Jiu said amusedly: "Fortunately, you don't have any sex, otherwise you have to be sold and you will pay for the money." Qi Xuan's temperament is not suitable for officialdom, even if he is an official, he must be a free job. Will not hold important positions like Qiyou.
Being despised again, Qi Xuan was so depressed.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. It's overkill. I didn't send the letter, but I wrote it to the inspector. After such a long time, I think I should have gone to jail before coming to this county."
Qi Xuan's face looked better now.
Upon seeing this, Gu Jiu deliberately said: "I'm so confused when you say it, you said you and Youwang are the same child, why are you so clever that you are so stupid that you can't be seen?"
Qi Xuan gave Gu Jiu a back of his head.
Gu Jiu was so reluctant that Qi Xuan ignored him, and it was annoying to keep asking. Now, the roots of the ears are finally clear.
When the two arrived at the county seat, they looked at the officials and still collected the money. Qi Xuan couldn't help but looked at Gu Jiu and said, "Didn't you say that the county prime minister was in jail?"
"I just said it should be, I didn't say for sure. In this world, there is no absolute thing." It seems that the backstage of this county is relatively hard. He actually suppressed his report letter, but it's good enough.
Qi Xuan snorted: "Anyway, good or bad, it's all you said."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, this matter will be resolved soon." The dark guard actually also has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials. However, he has retired and is now only responsible for training new recruits, so he wants to solve this problem through formal channels. Unexpectedly, the people above would behave favorably to shield the wicked.
The two walked over, and the officer accepted the admission fee and let them in. As a result, the two walked to the gate of the city and saw a wanted warrant posted on the wall. Above, there are four rough and majestic men with stubborn faces, and a black and sturdy child next to them.
The county has been under martial law for half a month after the last time nine local ruffians were killed. It was only relaxed a few days ago.
It was also Qi Xuan who wore the new light blue clothes and a headscarf, and looked like a gentle scholar. The people on the wanted order are not alone at all, so the officials are not at all suspicious of them. But those five big and three rough people are all caught up for cross-examination.
Qi Xuan took Gu Jiu to Tang Lao's calligraphy and painting shop. I didn't see one person last time, and I didn't see half of them this time. However, Qixuan was not surprised by this phenomenon. There are really too few scholars here.
Tang Lao Er saw that it was Qi Xuan, and said excitedly: "Young Master Han, my father has been talking about these days." After speaking, he enthusiastically invited Qi Xuan to the backyard.
Tang Mo was working on flowers and plants in the yard, and when he saw him put down the scissors in his hand, he asked, "Is the painting ready?"
Qi Xuan nodded.
After entering the house, Qixuan first took out the "Picture of a Loving Mother" and spread it on the table for Tang Mo to see.
When Tang Mo saw this painting, he couldn't help but admire: "This painting is really good. It seems that the empress dowager is right. You are really good at drawing figures."
Gu Jiu was speechless when he heard this. It wasn't that Minghuanghuang told King Xuan that you were sent by the empress dowager.
Qi Xuan was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "My mother told you, I am good at drawing figures?"
Tang Mo was shocked and lost his mouth, but Qi Xuan was not surprised at all and did not twist: "The queen mother thinks that you are good at figure painting, so let me give you some pointers." King Xuan's technique is very proficient, but he still Did not form its own unique style. And this is what he needs to guide.
Qi Xuan was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you Tang Elder."
Tang Mo touched his beard and said, "When did you know my identity?" He thought it was well hidden, but he didn't expect to wear it so soon.
Qi Xuan smiled and said, "There is not only a great painter in such a remote and backward county, but I also met. There is no such a coincidence in this world." It is not a coincidence, it must be arranged by his mother. It's just that Qixuan didn't know that Yuxi thought his character paintings were good.
Gu Jiu was a little surprised. He didn't even realize that Qi Xuan had discovered this. It seemed that King Xuan was not as stupid as he thought.
Now that he knew his identity, Tang Mo was not hiding it anymore: "This "Picture of a Loving Mother" depicts a mother's worries and a child's emotions. This painting can move people's thoughts." A painting that affects people is a masterpiece.
Qi Xuan was a little embarrassed: "I just remembered the scene when my mother took care of me when I was sick."
After talking about this picture of a loving mother, Qi Xuan showed Tang Mo the painting of "Tiger".
Seeing this painting, Tang Mo smiled and said, "This painting is also very good. How much are you going to sell?" This painting is much better than the last landscape painting, but it still can't compare to the "Mother Picture" just now. Whether or not this painting is infused with emotions, laymen can feel it, let alone Don Mo.
Qixuan doesn't care about money, he cares more about Tang Mo's evaluation: "Sir, what do you think of this painting?"
Tang Mo smiled and said, "You tiger is fierce and vigorous. It is much stronger than the last landscape painting. However, your painting is a little too hard."
Gu Jiu looked at the two men's posture, fearing that the meeting would not be over for a while. He said to Tang Lao Er, "What happened in this county recently? I saw that there were patrolling government officials on the road, which was much stricter than when we came last time."
Tang Lao Er looked at him and said, "A few people in the county were killed by men from the Yi nationality, and the county prime minister has issued a wanted order." In fact, he knew that it was Qi Xuan and his party who had killed those people. But he knew it in his heart, but he wouldn't tell it.
These rascals should be killed. However, King Xuan was punished here to suffer by the Queen Mother, and this matter should not be made public.
Gu Jiu said to Tang Lao Er: "I will go out for a walk, and I will be back soon. Don't let the Third Young Master go out before I come back."
Old Tang nodded and said, "Okay."
After Gu Jiu came back, Qi Xuan talked with Tang Mo. It wasn't until it was dark that Old Tang was afraid that he would be hungry, and then the conversation between the two was interrupted.
In the evening, Qixuan and Gu Jiu stayed at Tang Mo's house. When Qixuan fell asleep, Gu Jiu quietly walked out of the house.
In the early morning of the next day, Qi Xuan left the calligraphy and painting shop and went to the cloth shop. After I bought the muslin, I was about to go shopping for other things, but suddenly there were a lot of official posts on the street.
When these officials saw pedestrians, they began to interrogate them. An official looked at Qixuan and Gu Jiu, and asked, "You two, raise your heads."
Qi Xuan got a lot of tans last year, but Gu Jiu gave him some fans just before coming out of the Tang family. So this will look quite white.
As for Gu Jiu, he was just like an old servant.
Seeing Qixuan as a scholar, the officer had a very good attitude. After the investigation, he reminded him: "If you have nothing to do, go back quickly. Don't hang around the city, it's dangerous."
Qixuan was at a loss.
"Let's go back!" This county seems to be under martial law, so they should go back soon!
Qi Xuan said, the two of them bought some dry food on the side of the road and left the city.
At the gate of the city, there are more than a dozen government officials. The two at the door still had portraits in their hands. Those who went out of the city had to compare them with the portraits before they could leave.
Qi Xuan's appearance didn't look like a vicious murderer anymore. Therefore, the two easily went out of the city gate.
After leaving the county seat, Qi Xuan looked at the surrounding area and lowered his voice and asked, "Is the incident in the county seat related to you?" Otherwise, why let him apply powder in the morning.
Gu Jiu didn't hide it, and said, "I killed the dog official, and his head was hung at the gate of the county government."
Qi Xuan staggered and fell to the ground.
After getting up, Qi Xuan said with a look of disbelief: "You, how can you kill the imperial court commander without permission."
Gu Jiu looked at Qixuan and said, "Didn't you let me kill? Why is it not allowed now."
Qi Xuan yelled excitedly, "When did I ask you to kill the dog official?" The dog official is hateful, but he has to follow the law. How can lynching be used.
"Didn't you say that the dog officer deserves to die?"
Qi Xuan almost vomited blood with anger. He had said that the dog official should die, but he didn’t let Gu Jiu kill anyone: "What will my parents and eldest brother think when they know about this?" Don’t say him, even Qiyou, who is the official of the criminal ministry, Don't let life die casually.
Gu Jiu said: "Take you fun, you take it seriously. I will tell the queen mother and the emperor the cause of the matter. They know, and they won't blame me." Such dog officials should be killed. Even the people behind him didn't bypass it.
Qi Xuan clutched his chest and said, "Don't make such a joke next time, I will really be scared to death by you."
Gu Jiu laughed and said: "You're not a killer. As long as the evidence is conclusive, what if you really ordered the dog officer to be killed? The emperor and the emperor would only praise you, not scold you."
Qi Xuan shook his head and said, "I am not in the officialdom, and I am not qualified to deal with them."
Gu Jiu couldn't help but glance at Qi Xuan after hearing this. Unexpectedly, King Xuan's consciousness was quite high.
The two of them bought the things they needed in the county seat, but didn't go to Su Qi's house to live in, and went straight up the mountain.
Walking on the rugged mountain road, Qi Xuan suddenly said to Gu Jiu: "It's too inconvenient to live in the mountains. Tell my mother, I want to move to the county seat." You have to run to buy anything. A few days, it's a waste of time.
"Okay." Let King Xuan live in Ajia Village that day because he knew that survival was not easy. Now that the goal is achieved, there is no need to live in Aga Village anymore.
Seeing him so simply, Qi Xuan couldn't help but made one more request: "I want to write to my parents."
"After I asked the Emperor and Queen Mother what they meant, I'll reply to you." He couldn't do this matter. But now King Xuan has changed for the better, I think the Queen Mother will agree.
