In saying this, I just want to see what Daihou will do next.
As a result, what no one expected was that when Su Ziji heard the rejection, he looked regretful and sighed: "That's really a pity, or I have no chance of doing these two kinds of calligraphy and painting."
He stood up and said: "In that case, I will not disturb Mr. Jiang anymore. I have something to do in my house, so I will leave first."
This direct farewell stunned Jiang Shilang and Eunuch Zhao who were eavesdropping in the secret room.
"Is it true that Dai Hou came here just to buy paintings and calligraphy?" Eunuch Zhao in the secret room was surprised.
"Master Marquis, Master Marquis, please stay for now!" Jiang Shilang, who was also surprised, noticed that Eunuch Zhao was giving him a look, and hurriedly called out to Su Ziji, who had already taken a few steps away.
Su Ziji looked back at him, and Jiang Shilang said hurriedly: "I heard that the Marquis collected calligraphy and paintings in order to draw thousands of pictures for the emperor?"
"Yes." Su Ziji nodded.
Jiang Shilang smiled: "Although the calligraphy and paintings collected by Xiaguan are not for sale, the Marquis is a model of pure filial piety and should be regarded as a model for the world. I am willing to give it to the Marquis."
Su Ziji refused: "I thank Mr. Jiang for his kindness, but this looks like a bribe, and I will never dare to accept it."
After hearing this, Eunuch Zhao in the secret room winked at Minister Jiang again.
Jiang Shilang said hurriedly: "In that case, for these two calligraphy and paintings, I will give you three hundred taels of silver."
The price is neither high nor low. Su Ziji thought for a moment and agreed with a smile: "In that case, I will be ashamed to bear it. I am very grateful to Mr. Jiang for his willingness to part with me."
"Go and take out the two calligraphy and paintings that my father put in the collection room!" Jiang Shilang said to his son standing at the door.
The young man immediately responded and went out.
After a while, he came in holding two long boxes.
"Master Marquis, please take a look." With the help of his son, Jiang Shilang took out all the calligraphy and paintings from the box, opened them one by one, and showed them to Su Ziji.
As soon as Su Ziji got started, the half piece of red sandalwood wood had a reaction.
"I discovered Xu Banshu's "Hundred Blessings and Longevity", do you want to learn from it?"
"yes."
"[Calligraphy] 1200, level 14 (1095/14000)"
"Have you discovered Qingyun's "Ink Bamboo Picture"? Do you want to learn from it?"
"yes."
"[Danqing] 1300, level 14 (157/14000)"
"Very good." Su Ziji came back to his senses instantly and was satisfied. He looked at the two calligraphy and paintings with a smile in his eyes.
"Since the Marquis is satisfied, let's put them away." Jiang Shilang hurriedly said to his son.
At the same time, he tentatively invited: "Xiaguan has a little superficial research on calligraphy and painting. I wonder if Lord Marquis would be interested in discussing it with Xiaguan?"
Su Ziji declined politely: "The New Year is approaching, and I will continue to search for calligraphy and paintings to complete the Thousand Blessings. It's not easy to stay in Lord Jiang's house for a long time. I'll wait until I have the opportunity in the future."
With that said, he said goodbye again.
This time, since both calligraphy and paintings had been sent away in disguise, Jiang Shilang had no reason to keep Dai Hou anymore. He could only watch Dai Hou hand over the calligraphy and paintings to the entourage who had been waiting outside. The two of them went out one after the other.
Went to Jiang Mansion and left by car.
"The Marquis Dai is a pure filial piety." Eunuch Zhao said with emotion as he walked out of the secret room.
But what exactly he was thinking in his heart was unknown to Jiang Shilang. However, it made Jiang Shilang relieved that the matter could end like this today.
Compared to him actually trying to find out what the problem was, just getting the calligraphy and painting and leaving would have saved him trouble, so he responded with a smile: "Yes, on behalf of Marquis Chunxiao."
Daihou Mansion
"Master Hao from the Ministry of War sent a greeting card?" He went back and did not go out again. Su Ziji, who was reading in the Daihou Mansion, was startled when he heard the servant's report.
He had no contact with Mr. Hao, although he was a fourth-grade military attaché 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 and had contact with him several times.
But after all, they just exchanged some polite words, and they were just acquaintances, not even colleagues who had some friendship with each other. Why did they suddenly send me a greeting card?
"Go to Mr. Hao's house and tell him that I have been busy studying calligraphy and painting these days and have no intention of seeing guests. Please forgive me." Su Ziji thought for a moment and said.
The servant immediately responded and left.
"I don't know what the purpose of this person's visit is, or is someone plotting against me?" Thinking that he had just used similar methods to trick King Qi and Duan Yanxing, Su Ziji thought, or his recent behavior of asking for calligraphy and paintings everywhere had caused a stir in the palace.
That person's attention.
It's not enough to be afraid of calligraphy and painting, but it's probably true to want to know your purpose clearly.
"He is really a suspicious king." It seems that after a while, he will have to stop, Su Ziji thought, his eyes still swept over [Calligraphy] and [Danqing].
"This time, we quickly upgraded to level 14. Level 15 is the dividing line. According to my understanding, generally starting from level 3 for entry level, level 6 for professional, level 11 for specialization, and level 15 for master level."
"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. The next time you get attributes, you have to level 20."
"Everything is going according to plan." Su Ziji thought of the secret report from the wild Taoist, saying that Duan Qin had a connection with Manager Chen, as long as there was a connection.
Of course it will not be clear at that time.
Once the unclear relationship between the Forbidden Army General and the King of Qi is implicated, the King of Qi or Duan Yanxing himself may be fine, and Duan Qin and Manager Chen will undoubtedly die.
"Let's see if this person is diligent enough, how can he be worshiped?"
After Su Ziji finished thinking about it, he picked up a soft brush, licked the ink, and added the word "福" on the picture of Thousand Blessings, 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 shades of light and shade are separated, and the painting enters the realm of aesthetic beauty, which is somewhat like that of a master.
"You said that the Daihou refused Master Hao's request?" Hearing Eunuch Zhao's reply in the oxcart, he couldn't help but hissed, "This is strange."
Could it be that Huangsun was really just looking for calligraphy and painting?
This question has been rolling in his mind more than once in the past few days. Ever since he learned that Su Ziji went out to visit officials, Su Ziji's whereabouts had been closely monitored by Eunuch Zhao. When he arrived at Jiang Shilang, he was already preparing to observe it personally.
.
Following Su Ziji, making arrangements in advance and conducting various investigations, it was discovered that this Daihou really did it every time he went to meet officials to ask for calligraphy and painting, without exception.
Because he didn't believe it, he doubted whether someone from Su Ziji was in someone else's territory, so he was wary. He simply sent a military attaché from the Ministry of War who had dealt with Su Ziji to test it out. He asked the military attaché to send greetings and pay a visit.
You can always try to figure it out, right?
Who would have thought that Daihou would never see this person at all!
After waiting outside for a long time, he found that there was no movement in Daihou's mansion in the west of sunset. Daihou didn't even leave the house, and no one of note came to the door. Eunuch Zhao rubbed his dazzled eyes and said, "Go back to the palace."
Bar."
It seems that this inspection must be reported to His Majesty.
