The Demon Soul is Coming

(Haha, there is a chapter missing between Chapter 102 and Chapter 103. In fact, at that time, some book friends thought something was wrong and reminded them, but they didn’t pay attention at the time. As a result, they jumped directly from the road to Yingcheng.)

(The missing chapter was added to the beginning of Chapter 103, please look back.)

*******

Liu Sang smiled wryly, "It's not the first time I've heard his voice."

Xia Yingchen said: "Oh?"

Liu Sang's eyes flickered: "He was the kid who booked Tiancui Tower and Manfu Pavilion yesterday. Although he deliberately changed his voice, I would never hear him wrong. I saw him so honest in the palace just now, but When he was in Tiancui Tower, he was messing around."

Xia Yingchen pondered and said: "Your Royal Highness is not the queen's own child. Empress Ao was established as the queen, and the time is not too long. Your Highness Wu Gui is the eldest prince. At the beginning, there were many people in the court who persuaded the king to make His Highness Wu Gui the crown prince. However, the Queen considers His Royal Highness as her own son. Although the position of the princes has not yet been determined, the Young Highness has the backing of the Great Sima and the Queen, and the hope is great. But now, the Queen is pregnant, and everything has become difficult again. Anticipate it."

Liu Sang said: "The lady once speculated that it may not be a coincidence that we were attacked at the same time as His Highness Wushang..."

"It may not be a coincidence," Xia Yingchen raised his head under the umbrella, and said slowly, "It's raining heavily again."

Liu Sang said: "The heavier the rain, the faster it stops."

……

Although the rain was getting heavier and heavier, it didn't stop until the afternoon.

Xia Zhaowu and her few close friends in the boudoir were wandering around in the street. Because she was promoted from county lord to princess lord, others couldn't help but congratulate her, but Xia Zhaowu didn't have much joy. She is smart, and also knows that the weasel has no good intentions in giving New Year greetings to the chicken. It may not be a good thing for the queen to please her and her sister for no reason.

After a few people walked around here for a while, one of the girls asked, "Sister Qin, what are you looking for?"

The woman called "Sister Qin" said with a headache, "Look for the painting seller from yesterday."

Xia Zhaowu said in astonishment, "What are you looking for?"

"Sister Qin" was surnamed Qin and named Qin. She was originally an orphan, but was later adopted by Qin Ru, Qu Qin, who was the oldest of several young girls.

Qin Qin said helplessly: "The reason why I was looking for him was because of something that happened in Bai Ri's academy."

Xia Zhaowu asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

Qin Qin said: "This morning, I brought the two paintings I bought yesterday to the Danqing Room of the Academy. Because my adoptive father hadn't arrived, I took them out for the surrounding brothers to see. At the beginning, no one was there. Speaking, it is probably because the two paintings are completely different from the way we usually learn, but they are indeed beautiful. I didn’t know that my sister bought them from the side of the road, so I started to make a large number of them. How are the two paintings? Although the younger sister likes them herself, from the point of view of painting, it is more important to describe objects than to freehand brushwork. It is obviously inferior. Naturally, I believed it. But after a while, the adoptive father came and saw everyone gathered together, he was not hesitant, and asked everyone what they were shouting about. The younger sister handed the two paintings to the adoptive father to look at. I have never looked at it so seriously for a long time, asked everyone's opinion, and then made a four-character comment on the two paintings."

Xia Zhaowu asked nervously: "What comment?" Although she didn't believe that guy Liu Sang could really make any good paintings, but no matter what, he is her brother-in-law after all, and she still looks towards her brother-in-law in her heart... Although this brother-in-law is a bit rubbish, he also peeks at others taking a bath.

Of course, another reason is that at least she likes those paintings, even though she doesn't know much about painting.

Xia Zhaowu and the other three women looked at Qin Qin together, and Qin Qin said a four-character comment: "A group of idiots."

Xia Zhaowu was stunned: "A group of idiots?"

"Well," Qin Qin said, "he looked at the picture scroll, and after saying these four words, he didn't even attend class, and left with his hands behind his back with a pale face."

A girl in red next to her is Shi Yuan, the daughter of the fifth doctor Shi Yan. She smiled coquettishly and said, "I said yesterday that the painting just looks fresh. From the point of view of painting, there is nothing to recommend it. Sister Qin insisted on buying it to show Dr. Qin, who is lofty and upright, seeing such filth, how could he be in the mood to give lectures?"

Xia Zhaowu was in a depressed mood... Is it really that bad?I think it's pretty good.

Another girl said: "However, Mr. Qin's comments are also very strange. He approved a 'group of idiots' even though they were only two scrolls. How can two pictures be considered a 'group'? Besides, it seems that it is not appropriate to use 'idiots' to criticize a painting. Not right."

Shi Yuan laughed and said, "Why is it wrong to criticize a painting as a 'fool'? Since a painting is made stupidly, it will naturally become a vulgar thing, so how can it be called a painting? It's just a fool. If these two words are used by others, naturally they will not Sure, but being approved by Mr. Qin is what sets it apart."

Xia Zhaowu asked suspiciously: "Since this is the case, why did Sister Qin come to look for the painter yesterday?"

Qin Qin rubbed his temples, and said helplessly: "The adoptive father left in a fit of anger, and all the senior brothers blamed me for bringing those two paintings into the school, which made the adoptive father angry, and asked me to ask the adoptive father out of class, but in desperation , I had no choice but to go to see my adoptive father, who knew that my adoptive father was sitting there teasing Queer, and said coldly: "What class do you have with a group of idiots?", I just realized... It turns out that the foster father meant that in Danqing's room Your brothers are idiots."

The girls are dumb.

Qin Qin said: "I showed those two paintings to my adoptive father. After reading them, my adoptive father asked me to come to the boy selling paintings and invite him to enter the palace to talk about painting. So I asked again, from where Judging from the two paintings, what is the standard of the painter? This time, the adoptive father approved another four characters...Zen Cangwu!"

The girls looked at each other, Xia Zhaowu asked softly, "Who is Cang Wu?"

Qin Qindao: "Cang Wuzi was a master painter in the early Warring States Period. He was good at drawing dragons. His silk paintings "Character Dragon and Phoenix Picture" and "Royal Dragon Picture" were both the pinnacle of silk painting. The princes and nobles at that time often wanted a painting. No. It’s just that during the Warring States period, the feudal lords had the tradition of burying famous paintings with them, so most of the silk paintings made by Cang Wuzi were buried underground, and there was only one in the collection of his adoptive father, and it may even be the only one handed down in the world today. The adoptive father is known as the master of both calligraphy and painting in the Xuewen Academy, but every time he takes out the work of Cang Wuzi, he will feel inferior. It is said that Cang Wuzi left a painting scripture, because he is good at drawing dragons, he is also known as The "Dragon Painting Classic" has also been lost."

Only then did Xia Zhaowu and the other four girls understand.

Qin Qindao: "Yifu said that the blending of paints and the use of colors in those two paintings are very close to those used by Cang Wuzi back then, but his brushwork and painting style are unprecedented, even he can't do it." I have never seen it before, so my adoptive father wants to invite him to ask for advice on painting."

Xia Zhaowu was tongue-tied...so much so that Dr. Qin could be tempted to discuss painting with him. Is brother-in-law really that powerful?
