Hu Chang and Kong Baishu were even more shocked than Wen Xian. Kong Baishu didn't expect that this boy actually had such talent. Not only was this painting method something he had never seen before, but even the poem was so great, and his painting
Compared to his own painting, it was nothing. As for the words on the side, it made him, the so-called president of Deyun Poetry Society, so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground.
Hu Chang was so regretful that he wanted to slap himself. It turned out that this boy was so good at painting, but he pretended to be like this, and in the end he still got the limelight. Hu Qing looked over from the side, and exclaimed after just one glance.
When she came out, she covered her red lips with her hands and her eyes were filled with disbelief. This painting was infinitely better than the one Kong Bai painted her in. Now there was only one thought running through her mind: How could this pervert have such talent?
Zhang Ling's trio was even more unbearable. After taking a glance, they had already sneaked behind the people. They were now completely convinced by Xu Zizhen. They were completely unqualified to compare with such a painting. Zhang Ling and the others knew very well that with the
I am afraid that my level is not qualified to be polished by others.
Of course, sketching has not yet appeared in this era, and Xu Zizhen is a habitual pick-up girl. This kind of work is very familiar to him. Although the charcoal is not easy to use, it still shocked everyone present.
His mind was not here today, and he was too lazy to argue with them. He just smiled lightly at Wen Xian: "Miss, this painting is given to you."
Wen Xian was still in a daze, but she suddenly came to her senses after hearing this: "Send it to me? Really?" She was cold, arrogant and talented, but she had already been impressed by the exquisiteness of this painting, and now she heard Xu Zizhen say it was given to her.
She was overjoyed immediately, but she was indifferent by nature, and her joy and anger did not come to the surface easily. She quickly collected her thoughts and just nodded slightly.
Xu Zizhen keenly captured the surprise flashing in Wen Xian's eyes. At that moment, he thought of Rong Xi for no reason. When he gave the first bottle of mascara to Rong Xi that night, there was also something in her eyes.
With such a look on his face, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart when he thought of the almost decisive words Rong Xi said to him last night.
Gu Zhongchen took a deep breath after being shocked, turned around and bowed deeply to Xu Zizhen: "Brother Xu is indeed a great talent, Zhongchen admires him!"
Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, you are serious. This can only be regarded as a cunning plan and will not be put on the table."
"This..." Gu Zhongchen was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer. Wasn't the title of the number one talented man on his head based on these ingenious tricks?
Xu Zizhen suddenly looked at him and said seriously: "Master Gu, in my opinion, the so-called great talents do not necessarily have the ability to understand the world, but they must at least have a mind for the world and be able to understand the sufferings of the people. In troubled times, human lives are like grass and grass. Poems and songs
Can empowerment be enough to defeat the invading invaders with a million-strong army? Can playing chess, calligraphy and painting save the people from having to live in exile and sell their sons and daughters?"
He paused and then said: "What is a great talent? My grandfather, Master Gu, is a great talent. He has a lot of talents all over the world. He is now over seventy years old and is still looking for talented people for the country. How many things can someone like me do?
A crooked poem can produce a few bad paintings, huh! He is a bullshit genius, just a freeloader."
There was no hypocrisy or politeness in his call at all, he spoke heartily and happily. After he finished speaking, he exhaled for a long time, as if letting out a breath that he had been holding for a long time, and then smiled at Gu Zhongchen: "I
I'm just complaining, I don't mean anything against you, Brother Gu, don't blame me."
Gu Zhongchen was already speechless and didn't know how to reply. He just smiled and shook his head and said: "Don't dare, what Brother Xu said is absolutely true, Zhongchen can learn from it!"
During the Song Dynasty, the world valued literature over martial arts. Xu Zizhen's words were like throwing a huge stone into the pond. Gu Zhongchen could accept it with an open mind. Kong Baishu, Hu Chang and others had not yet recovered from the shock. People watching from a distance
The scholars were in an uproar, and some even couldn't restrain themselves and started shouting one after another.
"Arrogant people, don't you know that we, the Song Dynasty, ruled the world with culture? If we use his teachings, can those who are illiterate also be called great talents?"
"Exactly, this statement is extremely ridiculous!"
"Who is this? He is so rampant?"
Xu Zizhen listened to everything one by one, but he was too lazy to be familiar with those people. When the Jin Kingdom comes over and the Northern Song Dynasty becomes the Southern Song Dynasty, you will know that just reading is useless! Oh, by the way, they are afraid that by then
I won't wake up, otherwise there won't be the eternal quatrain "Beyond the mountains, there are buildings outside the mountains, when will the singing and dancing of the West Lake stop; the warm wind will make the tourists drunk, and they will call Hangzhou Bianzhou."
At this moment, Xu Zizhen suddenly felt that his mood was waning. He didn't want to pay attention to anything about Deyun Society or talented people and beauties. These scholars were full of elegance and had no idea how cruel the war was. Last night's dream appeared repeatedly in front of his eyes, almost overwhelming him.
Can't breathe.
He sighed softly: "Miss, let's go back."
Wen Xian was about to say something, but she keenly noticed a sad look in Xu Zizhen's eyes, and was suddenly startled. In her impression, Xu Zizhen was a rogue who was fearless, but now he seemed to have a very serious thought in his heart.
, nodded immediately, bowed to Kong Baishu, and said lightly: "Master Kong, I still have some trivial matters at home, so I will leave first."
"Ah?" Kong Baishu couldn't understand. Xu Zizhen was just a little servant. Even though he was somewhat talented, Wen Xian was his master after all, so she would follow him obediently?
Wen Xian said no more, nodded to everyone, and then turned and left with Dark Green and got into the car. Xu Zizhen was too lazy to pay attention to others. He just bowed to Gu Zhongchen and followed Wen Xian. As soon as he arrived at the car, he saw
I heard Wen Xian say to the coachman: "Leave some room for him."
Xu Zizhen got into the car without saying a word, and just looked at the sky quietly, letting the wheels roll forward. He didn't know what he was thinking about. The curtains of the carriage swayed gently with the shaking of the car. Wen Xiantou
Looking at Xu Zizhen's back through the gap in the curtain, various feelings came to my mind: This person is really unpredictable, sometimes arrogant and sometimes rogue, but he also has that sudden and amazing talent. What on earth is he...
one person?
With a pair of big dark green eyes, he looked at Xu Zizhen and then at Wen Xian. Both of them looked deep in thought. They couldn't help but covered their mouths and laughed secretly: This Xu Zizhen is so interesting, he actually made the young lady laugh.
thought.
Xu Zizhen didn't know that Wen Xian was secretly watching him from behind. He was only thinking about the tangled question now. If the Kingdom of Jin invaded, should he borrow his knowledge from later generations to help the country, or should he hide in Jiangnan and do his best?
To be honest, with his temperament, he was an ordinary citizen who would never want to get involved in anything that had nothing to do with him, but Rong Xi's cold eyes and the dream last night were tugging at his heart all the time.
Suddenly, he looked up inadvertently and found that the car had entered the city. There was a house not far ahead. It had red walls and blue tiles and was very majestic. Outside the four-open door, there were two huge stone lions with ferocious faces and hangings on the door.
A plaque with three golden characters - Liushou Mansion.
Xu Zizhen was startled: Huh? Liushou Mansion? Isn't that the territory of Kong Baishu's father? It turns out to be here, and I don't know if there is any way to sneak in and take a look.
…
Just when Xu Zizhen passed by the door, everything was quiet in the hall of Liushou Mansion. In the hall, sitting at the head of the hall was a young nobleman in splendid clothes and a jade belt. At the bottom of the hall, sitting at attention, was a middle-aged official, who was the owner of this mansion.
Mr. Kong Qilin, the man who stayed behind on Jiangnan East Road.
Standing in front of your noble master is a middle-aged man in green clothes and a small hat. If Xu Zizhen were here, he would definitely recognize him at a glance. This man is Hu Sihai who escaped from the boat that day. However, today he has completely lost the arrogance and domineering attitude he had when he faced Xu Zizhen.
, but stood there with bowed head, concentrating and not daring to speak loudly.
"In two days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival." The noble young master played with a jade ring on his thumb and said calmly, "The deadline given to my uncle over there is the first day of September, which means there is still more than half a month.
You tell me, what should I do if I can't deliver the goods?"
His tone was very calm, and there was no trace of anger at all, but Hu Sihai knew very well that the more calm his master spoke, the deeper the anger in his heart became. He knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice.
He said: "This time it was indeed my subordinate's negligence. Please punish me, Master!"
Your young master did not raise his eyes: "Punishment? Will you have fifty Jiangnan women after punishment? How many of the twenty palace guards I asked you to bring from the capital are left now?"
Hu Sihai felt a layer of cold sweat gradually forming on his forehead, and reluctantly replied: "There are...eight left."
"Well, eight." There was no emotion or anger on your face. He just nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "What's the name of the person you mentioned who ruined my life?"
When he thought of that figure with weird skills, Hu Sihai couldn't help but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and replied: "Master, this person's name is Xu Zizhen!"
"Is he Wen Chengyan's man?"
"yes!"
The noble master finally raised his head and said calmly: "Sihai, you have been following me for many years. Do you think you don't need me to teach you what to do anymore?"
Hu Sihai clasped his hands into fists, raised his head and said resolutely: "Master, please rest assured, I know what to do!"
The noble prince waved his hand: "Well, go ahead and give you three more days."
After Hu Sihai left, your young master smiled at Kong Qilin: "Master Kong, you and I are our own people, why should we be so restrained?"
Kong Qilin laughed dryly, said yes again and again, and then asked in a low voice: "Sir, what are your orders this time?"
The noble master shook his head: "Nothing else. I just need to hurry up and get the fifty people that the gentleman from the north wants."
Kong Qilin smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Wen Chengyan is pedantic. Recently, he has sent more people to patrol around. If we want to gather these people in this short time, I'm afraid..."
The noble prince waved his hand and said, "Wen Chengyan is not a trivial person. How many things can he manage?" After saying this, he glanced at Kong Qilin with a half-smile.
Kong Qilin understood it as soon as he thought about it, and immediately nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand!"
The noble prince smiled slightly and said, "As long as you understand, let's go without further ado, Mr. Kong." After saying that, he lowered his eyelids and played with the jade ring.
