Zhan Peng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Xiaotian was really powerful. He successfully opened the door to Xue Shengjing with Yang Lingqi's landscape painting. Today's affairs still depended on the power of Yang Lingqi's painter. Tie Zheng was watching vigilantly from beginning to end.
Zhan Peng, the arrow Zhan Peng shot just now actually made him break out in a cold sweat.
Hu Xiaotian turned around at this time and said to Zhan Peng: "Zhan Peng, you go back first, I will go in and talk to the prince." He made the decision to enter Prince Yan's palace alone to dispel the doubts of this group of palace warriors.
Show his honesty.
After hearing that Zhan Peng would not follow him in, Tie Zheng's expression became obviously much more relaxed.
King Yan Xue Shengjing grabbed Hu Xiaotian's arm, and the two walked into Prince Yan's mansion while chatting. Zhan Peng looked at Hu Xiaotian's retreating back, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, but he understood that this kind of worry was completely unnecessary. With Hu Xiaotian's
His mind and wisdom should be enough to cope with any situation. He left Xiao Hui to the care of the palace people and did not follow Hu Xiaotian into the palace.
Hu Xiaotian accompanied Yan King Xue Shengjing to the Wangfu Waterside Pavilion. Xue Shengjing was obviously a little tired after walking all this way. He sat down on a chair and kept wiping his sweat. Along the way, he asked some questions about Yang Lingqi. In this regard
People were obviously very interested, and Hu Xiaotian deliberately revealed that he had another painting by Yang Lingqi in his hand, in order to whet Xue Shengjing's appetite.
Although the reasons given by Hu Xiaotian seemed reasonable, Xue Shengjing was not so easy to believe him. If Hu Xiaotian was just trying to help a poor painter fulfill his wish, he would not believe it to death. Xue Shengjing was sure that Hu Xiaotian would do something for him when he came today.
beg.
But although Hu Xiaotian is young, he is very calm. Ever since he entered the palace, he never mentioned the purpose of his visit. He chatted with King Xue Shengjing of Yan. He was also very knowledgeable in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, astronomy and geography.
Medical doctors know a little bit about astrology and astrology. This guy has been practicing in the Dakang Palace for so long, so he is not in vain. He has already perfected his skills in observing words and emotions.
The two of them talked indifferent words while drinking tea. Despite this, King Yan Xue Shengjing had a good impression of Hu Xiaotian. The two chatted for about an hour, but Hu Xiaotian actually didn't reveal the purpose of his coming. He
He stood up with a smile and said goodbye: "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. Xiaotian has important matters to attend to, so I won't disturb Your Majesty anymore."
This was the first time that Xue Shengjing met such a young man, who gave him such a precious landscape painting, but did not say what he wanted to do with him? Hu Xiaotian had successfully aroused his curiosity. Xue Shengjing said: "Seeing that
It's already noon, why don't you, Mr. Hu, stay in the house to have a meal? We hit it off and chatted so well, how about we have a few drinks?"
According to normal people's thinking, the prince would not refuse the invitation, but Hu Xiaotian often took the wrong approach when doing things. He had already seen that Xue Shengjing was very shrewd, and he must have guessed that he might have something to ask for. Since he was in Yongdu
If you have to stay for a while, you don’t need to make your request for the first time to arouse King Yan’s curiosity, and then use another landscape painting to whet his appetite. You are not afraid that he will not take the initiative to come to you in the future. Hu Xiaotian smiled and said:
"Thank you for your kind invitation, but Xiaotian has one more important matter to attend to. He has to pay a visit to Mr. Liu from Shennong Society."
Xue Shengjing couldn't help but be startled after hearing what he said: "Are you talking about Mr. Liu Changshengliu of Shennongshe?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's him!"
Xue Shengjing laughed loudly and said: "It seems that we are really destined. I have made an appointment with Mr. Liu to be a guest today, and it seems that it should be here." As he spoke, he seemed to be restless in front of Hu Xiaotian.
He scratched his crotch in a rather indecent manner.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but look at him, but Xue Shengjing didn't seem to notice it. After scratching the itch, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea: "Master Hu, just wait a little longer."
Xue Shengjing was obviously a little impatient. He frowned and said, "This Liu Changsheng is too unpunctual. He promised me to come here at the right time. It's almost noon now." He turned to Tie Zheng and said, "Tie Zheng,
Go and see what happened to Liu Changsheng?"
Tie Zheng responded and took the order.
When Xue Shengjing saw that noon was approaching, he couldn't let Hu Xiaotian wait any longer, so he asked someone to set up a banquet and invited Hu Xiaotian to come with him.
Hu Xiaotian originally had no intention of eating at his place, but seeing the kindness of others, he had no choice but to give him this face. He accompanied Xue Shengjing along the waterside long bridge to the place where they were eating, and left along the winding long bridge.
There is a pond in the Wangfu Garden. Follow the winding path into the depths of the garden. There are rows of bamboos on both sides and rugged rocks. Each step leads to a beautiful view.
Hu Xiaotian found that these stones had different shapes, some of which looked like the specialty of Tunyun Lake in the south. He asked tentatively: "Are these stones from the south?"
Xue Shengjing smiled and said: "Yes, they are all imported from Dakang and produced in Tunyun Lake. This kind of lake stone is famous for being thin, transparent and exposed. The stone in the north is majestic, but it is far less exquisite and beautiful than in the south."
Hu Xiaotian also knew that the Tunyun Lake Stone had been extensively mined because of its great reputation. Nowadays, there are not many of them in Dakang, but they can be seen everywhere in Xue Shengjing Courtyard. Not to mention other things, these stones alone are already
Rich as a country.
Turning around, he saw a dry old tree standing directly in front of him. The tree was very strange. It was completely black but had no leaves. It must have died. When Hu Xiaotian took a closer look, he discovered this big dry tree.
It's a whole ebony tree.
Xue Shengjing saw Hu Xiaotian's surprised expression and was secretly satisfied. What Hu Xiaotian could see of his collection was just the tip of the iceberg.
Going further forward is the Foxiao Tower where they ate. When they walked into the lobby of the small building, the first thing they saw was a Hetian jade sculpture that was three feet wide and one foot high. Hu Xiaotian had never seen such a big sculpture even in his entire life.
The jade carvings are several times larger than the ones he saw in the Forbidden City during the flood control of Dayu. This piece of jade can be called a real jade mountain. What’s even more rare is that this piece of jade mountain has no flaws in its entire body.
The top-grade mutton-fat jade is carved with hundreds of beautiful dancing and music pictures, ranging from palace towers to small beauties. Every hair and fingernail is carved vividly. And there are hundreds of beauties on this huge jade carving, and each one is beautiful.
A beautiful woman has different expressions, lifelike expressions, and is full of mysterious vitality.
When Hu Xiaotian saw this jade carving, his eyes were immediately glued to it, not because he was greedy for money, but because he was moved by the beauty of the art. Even Zhan Peng couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of this jade carving.
Xue Shengjing was very proud and looked at Hu Xiaotian with a smile: "What does Mr. Hu think of my jade carving?"
Hu Xiaotian finally came back to his senses. It was not difficult to hear Xue Shengjing's intention to show off from his tone. Hu Xiaotian almost blurted out his flattering words, but he suddenly realized something in his mind. Xue Shengjing was showing off. No wonder
He was reluctant to let me go and just thought I was a country bumpkin who had never seen much of the world. He kept me here just so I could see his collection. Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not bad."
Xue Shengjing thought that Hu Xiaotian would definitely flatter him, but he didn't expect that his tone of voice was so plain. It was a bit unexpected, and he smiled and said: "Does Dakang also have such jade carvings?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Xiaotian has never seen it before!"
A proud smile appeared on Xue Shengjing's lips.
Hu Xiaotian added: "But bigger is not always better. I have seen many jade carvings in Dakang that are better than this one."
Xue Shengjing thought that Hu Xiaotian was holding on, so he did not refute and continued to walk forward. Hu Xiaotian found that the walls of the small building were all hung with paintings and calligraphy by famous artists from past dynasties. Many of them were names he was familiar with, and Yang Wenqi gave them to him.
Although the landscape painting of the artist can be regarded as a rare masterpiece, if it were placed here, it would be impossible to compare with all the works of these masters.
Xue Shengjing asked Hu Xiaotian: "What about the paintings that Eunuch Hu thinks I have collected?"
At this time, Hu Xiaotian had completely understood what Xue Shengjing meant. This damn fat man was obviously not so easily impressed by a painting. He was telling himself that he had no shortage of masterpieces in his hands, and he was trying to impress him with a painting.
It's not that easy to get him to help with things.
Hu Xiaotian just said that it was good, and then pretended to appreciate the paintings. He had to admit that King Xue Shengjing of Yan had a rich collection and high quality, which was rare. This person could definitely be said to be rich and powerful.
When they arrived at the room on the third floor, various dishes were already placed on the table. There were also many paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls around the room. Among them, there was a portrait of a woman that attracted Hu Xiaotian's attention. The woman in the portrait was dancing.
, what attracted Hu Xiaotian was not the appearance of the woman in the portrait, but her dancing posture, in which she supported the weight of her whole body on the toes of one foot.
Hu Xiaotian's name immediately came to Hu Xiaotian's mind, but the woman in the painting did not look like Huo Xiaoru.
Xue Shengjing said: "Master Hu, please take a seat."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Prince, is this painting painted by Huo Xiaoru?"
Xue Shengjing chuckled and said: "Master Hu has good eyesight, and he recognized it at a glance. Yes, this girl is exactly the famous actress Huo Xiaoru. Do you think this painting has both form and spirit?"
Hu Xiaotian laughed a few times and then shook his head.
Xue Shengjing said: "If it doesn't look like him, how could Mr. Hu recognize that this is Huo Xiaoru?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dance on pointe!"
Xue Shengjing couldn't help but laugh, nodded and said: "Miss Huo's dancing skills are the best in the world, especially the pointe dance is her unique skill. No wonder Master Hu can recognize it at a glance."
Hu Xiaotian thought to himself: "Of course I can recognize it. Huo Xiaoru's pointe dance was the inspiration I gave her."
After sitting down, Xue Shengjing saw that Hu Xiaotian's eyes were still on Huo Xiaoru's portrait, and couldn't help but ask: "Does Mr. Hu know Miss Huo?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "We met several times when we were in Kangdu, so we can be considered to have some friendship."
