Chapter 531: Report to His Majesty
To put it this way, I just want to see what Dai Hou will do next.
As a result, what no one expected was that Su Ziji refused after hearing this, and although he showed regret, he sighed: "That's a pity, or I may not have the chance to have these two calligraphy and paintings."
He stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then Benhou will not continue to disturb Lord Jiang. If there is still something to do in my husband's mansion, I will leave first."
This direct farewell made Mr. Jiang stunned the eunuch Zhao, who was eavesdropping in the secret room.
"Da Hou really came just to buy paintings and characters?" Eunuch Zhao in the secret room was surprised.
"Mr. Marquis, you can stay first!" Mr. Jiang, who was also surprised, noticed that Eunuch Zhao had given him a look and hurriedly called out to Su Ziji, who had already walked a few steps.
Su Ziji looked back at him, and Minister Jiang hurriedly said, "I heard that the Marquis collected calligraphy and paintings to draw thousands of pictures for the emperor?"
"Yes." Su Ziji nodded.
Mr. Jiang smiled: "Although the calligraphy and paintings collected by the Xiaguan are not sold, the Marquis is pure and filial, and should be a role model for the people of the world. The Emperor is willing to give them to the Marquis."
Su Ziji refused: "I thanked Lord Jiang for his kindness, but this looks like a bribe, so I dare not accept it."
After hearing this, Eunuch Zhao in the secret room shook his eyes again.
Mr. Jiang hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, you can pay 300 taels of silver for these two calligraphy and paintings."
The price is neither high nor low. Su Ziji thought for a moment and agreed with a smile: "Since this is the case, then Benhou will be ashamed of it. Lord Jiang is willing to give up, and I am very grateful."
"Go and take out the two calligraphy and paintings that my father had placed in the collection room!" Mr. Jiang said to his son standing at the door.
The young man immediately responded and went out.
After a while, he came in with two long boxes.
"Mr. Marquis, please take a look." With the help of his son, Mr. Jiang took out all the calligraphy and paintings in the box, opened them one by one, and gave Su Ziji to watch.
As soon as Su Ziji got started, half of the red sandalwood porch responded.
"Does Xu Ban's discovery of "Hundred Blessings of Birthdays"? "
"yes."
"【Calligraphy】1200, Level 14(1095/14000)"
"Did you find the "Ink Bamboo Picture" of Qingyun?
"yes."
"【Danqing】1300, Level 14 (157/14000)"
"Very good." Su Ziji instantly came back to his senses, feeling satisfied. Looking at the two calligraphy and paintings, his eyes were filled with smiles.
"Since the Marquis is satisfied, then put them away." Mr. Jiang hurriedly said to his son.
At the same time, he tentatively invited: "Xiaguan has a little superficial study of calligraphy and painting. I wonder if the marquis is interested, so let's discuss it with Xiaguan?"
Su Ziji declined: "The New Year is approaching, and I will continue to search for calligraphy and paintings to complete the Qianfu Pictures. It is not good to stay in Lord Jiang's mansion for a long time, so I will have a chance in the future."
As he said that, he said goodbye again.
This time, because both calligraphy and paintings were sent out in disguise, Mr. Jiang had no reason to keep Dai Hou again. He could only watch Dai Hou hand over the calligraphy and paintings to the followers who had been waiting outside. The two left Jiang's mansion one by one and the other and left by car.
"The Marquis Dai is pure filial piety." Eunuch Zhao, who walked out of the secret room, sighed.
But I don’t know what I was thinking in my heart. However, the ending of this matter today made Mr. Jiang feel relieved.
Compared to him, he really tried to find out what problems he had, so he could leave as long as he wrote and painted, which saved him trouble, so he smiled and replied: "Yes, Dai Hou Chunxiao."
Daihou Mansion
"Mr. Hao from the Ministry of War sent a message?" He didn't go out again when he returned. Su Ziji, who was reading a book in the Marquis' Mansion, was stunned when he listened to the servant's report.
He had no contact with Lord Hao. Although this person was a fourth-rank military officer working in the Ministry of War and was in charge of some military affairs. When Su Ziji went to the Ministry of War for an internship, he had met several times and had contact with him, but in terms of counting, he just said some polite words. He considered acquaintances who were familiar with each other, and he didn't even have a bit of friendship. Why did he suddenly send a message to him?
"I went to Lord Hao's mansion and said that I have been busy studying calligraphy and painting these days, and have no intention of meeting guests, so I asked him to forgive me." Su Ziji thought for a while and said.
The servant immediately stepped down.
"I don't know what this person is coming, or is someone plotting against me?" Thinking that he had just used similar techniques to trick King Qi and Duan Yanxing, Su Ziji thought that his recent actions of asking for calligraphy and paintings attracted the attention of the person in the palace.
It is not enough to be afraid of calligraphy and painting, but if you want to figure out your purpose, you may be really true.
"I'm really a suspicious king." It seems that after a while, he will have to stop. Su Ziji thought, and his eyes were still sweeping over [Calligraphy] and [Danqing].
"This time we quickly upgraded to level 14, level 15 is the water line. According to my perception, it is basically an entry-level 3, a major, a specialization level 11, and a master level 15."
"Level 15 calligraphy and painting are qualified to be passed down to future generations."
"But the most important thing is that you can get 2 attribute points at level 15, and the next time you get the attribute, you will get level 20."
"Everything is in the plan." Su Ziji thought of the secret report of Ye Taoist, saying that Duan Qin had a connection with Manager Chen, as long as there was a connection.
It will naturally be difficult to explain at that time.
Once the relationship between the Imperial General and the King of Qi is unclear, the King of Qi or Duan Yanxing himself may be fine, and Duan Qin and Manager Chen will undoubtedly die.
"Just look at how to make Chong when Duan Qin dies."
After Su Ziji finished thinking, he picked up his soft brush and licked the ink. He added the word "Fu" to the Qianfu Picture and hung it on the tree. At first glance, it looked like a fruit.
The entire landscape painting has clear black and white lines. Although it is all ink, the thickness and light are broken. It has become a bit like a master when it comes to the state of aesthetics of objects.
"You said, Dai Hou refused Lord Hao's request?" When Eunuch Zhao heard the reply in the ox cart, he couldn't help but hiss, "This is strange."
Is the Emperor Sun Zhen just asking for words and paintings?
This question has been in his heart more than once in the past few days. Since he learned that Su Ziji was visiting officials, Su Ziji's whereabouts had been closely monitored by Eunuch Zhao. When he arrived at Mr. Jiang, he was ready to observe it himself.
Following Su Ziji, he made arrangements in advance and made various investigations, and found that every time he went to meet officials, he always wanted to ask for words and paintings, without exception.
Because he didn't believe it, he wondered if Su Ziji was in other people's territory, so he was wary, so he simply sent an officer who had dealt with Su Ziji to test it, and asked the officer to send a message to visit him. This could always be a test, right?
Who knew that the man Dai Hou would not see this person at all!
After waiting outside for a long time, he found that the mansion of Daihou was in the west of the sunset. Daihou did not even leave the house, and there was no one worth paying attention to it. Eunuch Zhao rubbed his eyes, saying, "Go back to the palace."
It seems that this supervision must be reported to His Majesty.
