Chapter 52: Fake Painting


"That's right."

King Qi said of course, "Thousands of lanterns, if you want to solve the riddles, it will take two or three hours, and then there will be lion dance performances, juggling, opera, etc., until dawn, during which if you are hungry, you can go to the island to eat, go at any time, you can eat at any time." ” Gai Tong added: "In the middle of the night, the city gate is closed, and you can't go back." ” "That's just as well."

Zhen Jian nodded when he heard this.

While speaking, the three of them had already come to the side courtyard, and when the guards saw King Qi, they saluted one after another, and King Qi nodded and said, "Let's get a congratulatory gift, Zhen Jian's congratulatory gift!"

He took Zhen Jian's invitation card as he spoke, and asked them to look at their names and confirm their identities.

"King Qi, please wait a moment."

The guard replied and went out into the courtyard.

After a while, I saw four guards come out carrying two wooden boxes, both of which were labeled with Zhen Jian's name written on them.

When Zhen Jian saw them carrying out the wooden box, he couldn't help but be a little worried: "Will this group of guys give my gift face down?"

” One of his gifts is a lotus flower and a cake, if it is face down, the cake will definitely be a mess, and the lotus flower will probably be crushed.

After he got the wooden box, he quickly opened it to check, and found that everything was intact, and he was immediately relieved, it seems that this group of guards probably also knew that these congratulatory gifts were very valuable, and they kept them very carefully, and they should not make such a low-level mistake as facing down.

Gai Tong and King Qi finally saw Zhen Jian's gift, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Zhen Jian, are these two your gifts?"

Lotus?

What else is it?

Eat?

” "You'll know later, help me carry it to Shoulin Garden first, I can't take it alone."

King Qi and Gai Tong came from Xiaoyi to stretch out their hands and open their mouths, where are they willing to do this kind of coolie, but they will command people, the four guards of the Qi Dynasty beckoned, and said, "You four, carry these two boxes and go with this king." ” The four of them looked at each other for a while, and nodded helplessly: "Yes."

"Stepped forward and carefully lifted the wooden box, followed Zhen Jian and them towards Shoulin Garden, they were the forbidden army sent by the emperor to defend Prince Yun, how dare they disobey King Qi's orders, after all, King Qi is the prince.

Coming to Shoulin Garden, the sun has set, the surroundings are dark, and the lights of the entire Shoulin Garden are lit, although the brightness of the lanterns is low, but there are many of them, the entire Shoulin Garden is shrouded in a dim light, the island in the middle of the lake is lively, the birthday has begun, Zhen Jian They can't help but speed up their pace.

The area of Guiyuan Island in the center of the lake is not large, less than ten acres, in front of the Yanshou Hall is an open field, facing the water on three sides, the water pavilion leading to the center of the island is too crowded, and many guests are on the island by boat from here.

At this moment, the square in front of the Yanshou Hall is neatly filled with tables, there are hundreds, and there is a wooden sign on each table, and the name of the seat owner is written on the wooden card, and all the guests are seated.

And Prince Yun is sitting on the high steps of the Yanshou Palace, and the Lord of Yunrou is sitting on his left, at this moment, Qin Xuan, the son of Qin Huan, the privy envoy of the court, is saying a congratulatory message, in fact, he is saying some congratulatory words, as long as he fights or rhymes.

After saying the birthday speech, Qin Xuan beckoned to the rear, one of his entourages stepped forward with a wooden tube more than four feet long, Qin Xuan took the wooden tube, turned his head to face Prince Yun, and saluted: "Lord, my father is busy with government affairs and can't come in person, so I specially ordered the younger generation to come and offer a thin gift and apologize." ” As he spoke, he unplugged the wooden cylinder and pulled out a scroll thicker than his arm, and Prince Yun hurriedly said, "Table!"

” Immediately, a few handymen brought two long tables and put them together, Qin Xuan spread the scroll on the table, gently pushed it open, and suddenly the crowd exclaimed: "Oh my God!

It's Qin Muzhi's "Spring Tour"!

” "Is it the real thing?"

"It must be the real thing!

Qin Zhao's skill in appreciating calligraphy and painting is unmatched in Dachu, will he collect fakes......"

"Ah, it's really "You Chun Tu", I didn't expect that I would be able to see "You Chun Tu" in my life......"

At this moment, Zhen Jian happened to come here, and he, King Qi and Gai Tong took their seats one after another, but Zhen Jian's seat was in the last row, and King Qi and Gai Tong's seats were in the front row.

Seeing that everyone reacted so excitedly, Zhen Jian couldn't help but murmur: "Is this painting very precious?"

” "Of course it's precious!"

A middle-aged man next to him said excitedly when he heard this, "This is the painting of Qin Muzhi, a great calligrapher and painter five hundred years ago, the calligraphy and paintings left by Qin Muzhi add up to only fifty, each of which is a priceless treasure, and this "Spring Tour" is the only huge painting in Qin Muzhi's paintings, and it is a treasure among the treasures, it is said that Qin Yuan spent 500,000 taels in order to get this "Spring Tour"!

” Zhen Jian frowned for a while when he heard this, a prime minister spent 500,000 taels to buy a painting, he wanted to know how much this prime minister's money was, where did 500,000 taels come from, and spent 500,000 taels to buy a painting in such a high-profile manner, does the emperor care?

The two tables add up to more than three meters long, but this painting is huge, and the two tables are obviously not enough, so Prince Yun shouted again: "Add a table!"

” So a few more handymen moved the table over, and added five more tables, finally enough, the long painting was spread on seven tables, a full ten meters long, Zhen Jian was surprised to see such a long painting for the first time.

"Wow, it's really "You Chun Tu", look at this painting technique and artistic conception, except for Qin Muzhi, no one can really reach it."

"Qin is really generous!"

…… Listening to everyone's exclamations, Qin Xuan couldn't help but raise his head proudly, he was confident, among today's congratulatory gifts, none of them could compare to this painting.

At this moment, Prince Yun suddenly raised his voice and said, "Mr.

Liu, check it." ” I saw a man in a green robe with white temples in the back suddenly slowly walked out of the ranks, only to see that his cheeks were thin, his eyebrows were thin and his eyes were long, he was about forty years old, he held a gauze lamp, walked to the table, and stared at the "Spring Tour" carefully.

"Who is this person?

Why did Prince Yun invite him to taste "You Chun Tu"?

” "Hey, it seems to be a ghost hand Liu."

"Who is the ghost hand Liu?"

"Ghost Hand Liu doesn't know?

Ten years ago, there was a number one person in the capital, known as the ghost hand Liu, the name Liu Yixuan, I heard that this person is outstanding, very good at calligraphy and painting, and good at imitating other people's calligraphy and painting, he imitated the painting and calligraphy, it is almost difficult to distinguish the authenticity, during that time, he forged calligraphy and painting in the capital, resulting in no one in the capital for a time no one dared to buy calligraphy and painting, two years later, I never heard about the ghost hand Liu, I didn't expect to take refuge in Prince Yun. ” "So, this person is extremely powerful?

Since he has such talent, why didn't he take the imperial examination, but did such a thing?

This is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man who asked.

Someone sneered: "Can you take the imperial examination if you have talent, it's really a fool's dream." ” …… Liu Yixuan only looked at it for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes and smiled: "Lord Wang, this painting is not genuine." ” As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, is "You Chun Tu" fake?

It's worth it!

Qin Xuan pointed at Liu Yixuan, glared and shouted: "You don't want to talk nonsense, this is a rare treasure of Qin Mu that my father bought for 500,000 taels, do you dare to question my father's vision?"

” "Hehe......"

Liu Yixuan sneered and said slowly, "Qin Xiang's vision is still good, but there are not many people who can distinguish the authenticity of this painting. ” "Impossible!"

Qin Xuan's face turned red in a hurry, and he shouted, "Why do you say it's fake!"

Why is it said that this painting is fake!

” Liu Yixuan turned to face Prince Yun and said, "Lord Wang, the villain needs a bucket of water." ” Prince Yun nodded and said, "Fetch a bucket of water!"

” Immediately, someone hit a bucket of lake water, Liu Yixuan took the bucket and suddenly splashed the water on the painting, everyone screamed, Qin Xuan shouted excitedly: "You are looking for death!"

"I almost went up to fight with Liu Yixuan.

Liu Yixuan pointed to the blank part of the painting and said coldly: "Lord Wang, please take a look!"

” Prince Yun got up and walked down the stone steps, took a closer look, and saw a few words appearing in the place where the water was splashed - "Ghost Hand Liu Imitation".

When everyone saw these words, they exclaimed again, they didn't expect this painting to be a fake, and it was imitated by Liu Yixuan, no wonder he recognized it at a glance.

"It seems that Qin Xiang also has a time to make eyes, haha."

Prince Yun laughed, not seeming to care about it.

Qin Xuan's face instantly became very ugly, he never expected that his congratulatory gift was actually a fake painting, in this way, it was simply worthless, it was too embarrassing, he must ask his father when he went back, why did he send a fake painting to Prince Yun as a congratulatory gift, he didn't believe that his father would be blind.

Prince Yun naturally knew that Qin Huan didn't make an eye, he deliberately sent such a fake painting to perfunctory himself, even if he was recognized, he could also be said to have made an eye, in fact, these officials and eunuchs in the court were almost perfunctory to him.

Prince Yun glanced at the audience, it seems that there are a lot of powerful people today, but in fact, none of them have real power, most of them are the second and third generations of powerful people and eunuchs, these people are at most idle in the court, and they don't do anything just for their salaries, they are perfunctory to him, of course, they don't mean to perfunctory themselves, because the emperor is staring at them.

On the surface, the emperor asked them to come to the birthday banquet of Prince Yun, however, in fact, if anyone dares to go, then it will be over, and the officials and small officials will go home directly to farm, and those who are in high positions and powerful will just wait to wear small shoes.

When today's son is not an open-minded person, he said on the surface that he wanted Prince Yun to hold a birthday banquet, gave such a big palace, and let the ministers go to cheer, in fact, whoever goes is unlucky, not for anything else, just because Prince Yun and he fought for the throne back then.

This made the ministers very painful, but the road is one foot high, although the Manchu magnates and ministers are not very good at governing the country, but they are very good at studying those things in the officialdom, they brainstormed, and came up with a way to send their children and grandchildren to attend Prince Yun's birthday banquet instead of them, so none of these guests present today are in important positions in the court.

As for this painting, when Qin Xuan presented this painting, Prince Yun judged that it was fake, Prince Yun knew Qin Huan too well, if it weren't for Qin Huan, he would have been able to sit on the throne, their relationship was so bad, would Qin Huan be willing to give him such a precious painting, it was obviously impossible, so he sent Liu Yixuan to inspect the painting, and as he expected, the painting was fake.

The fake painting caused chaos at the scene, and finally quieted down, Prince Yun comforted Qin Xuan very generously: "Don't worry about Qin's nephew, it's a common thing to be eye-catching, you don't have to worry about it, this king accepts his father's heart."

He said that he gave a look, Liu Yixuan understood what he meant, rolled up the painting, walked over and handed it to Prince Yun.

Prince Yun returned to the stairs, handed the painting to an entourage behind him, and said, "Keep this painting in good order, this is a piece of Qin Xiang's heart." ” "Yes!"

The attendant respectfully took the painting.

But I heard Prince Yun suddenly say in a very low voice: "It's burned." ”
