The nearest town to Chenjiacun is called Huanxi Town, which is also the destination of Gu Hanzhao and his group's trip. As soon as the donkey cart stopped at the entrance of the town, Gu Hanzhao couldn't wait to jump out of the cart first to stretch his body.The bumps along the way made his already recovering body start to become numb again. Turning his head and looking at the completely unaffected Zhao Jianyu, he silently restrained his stretching movements.

Huanxi Town is much more prosperous than they imagined. The row upon row of houses has the unique charm of Jiangnan. At this time, the shops facing the street have opened their doors, and some vendors have also set up their stalls.

"Brother Chen, where is the medicinal material shop in Huanxi Town?" Gu Hanzhao didn't have much interest in this market, but seeing Zhao Jianyu's eyes brighter than usual, he asked.

"The Huichuntang, the only medical clinic in Huanxi Town, is at the end of this street." Chen Zhu pointed to the distance, and Gu Hanzhao looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a crowd of people, so he had no choice but to say to Zhao Jianyu : "Let's go shopping all the way."

Naturally, Zhao Zheyu has no objection, and it has become his unshakable habit to go to the local herbal medicine shop wherever he goes. One side nourishes the other side, and so does the medicine, just like the Hejia Village outside Hebi City, there are only a few The most medicinal Mizhi can only be grown on a hill.

After saying goodbye to Chen Zhu and the others and making an appointment for a meeting time and place, Gu Hanzhao protected Zhao Zheyu and walked towards Huichun Hall. The two of them were not in a hurry, and walked slowly along the flow of people.Most of the items on the stalls are common things, including pots, pans and pans commonly used at home, as well as finer ones such as sachets and hairpins, but most of them are worthless gadgets.

Gu Hanzhao was not interested in these things, but saw a few shops selling antiques, and the two of them walked around and saw that an antique shop was not as lively as the surrounding shops, but rather deserted, so they wanted to avoid it.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a Baibao Pavilion, and there were some small items on each grid. From Gu Hanzhao's point of view, these things are not very expensive, but they are already very good for this remote town.

There were only two people in that shop, the younger one looked like a clerk, covering his lips and yawning while wiping the dust off the Baibao Pavilion with a feather duster, the older one was the shopkeeper, he was looking down at the account books while he was planning to do the work.

The guy raised his eyes and glanced at them, seeing that they were poorly dressed, he said nonchalantly, "You can look at them objectively." Although the expression was subtle, the contempt in his eyes was obvious.

Hearing the clerk's greeting, the shopkeeper raised his head and scolded the clerk in displeasure, "How are you working, be more energetic!" Then he looked at Gu Hanzhao and the two, the surprise in his eyes flashed away, and the flattering smile was sincere A few points.

The shopkeeper obviously has more vision than the waiter, and he was secretly annoyed that his brother-in-law was not doing enough, so he pulled him to the back of the Baibao Pavilion and said, "Go, let your sister make a pot of Biluochun, and the tea is brought by someone I asked a few days ago. of."

The guy glanced at Gu Hanzhao's direction, lowered his voice and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother-in-law, that tea is so expensive, why do you give it to them..."

"It's just you who talk too much nonsense and have no eyesight. Do you see the suet white jade hanging on that young man's waist? It's enough to buy ten of my shops. Go quickly." run away.

"My two gentlemen, this is the shopkeeper of our shop." The shopkeeper stepped forward with a smile.

Gu Hanzhao glanced at him indifferently, thinking that the shopkeeper was clever, and the shopkeeper didn't say much when he saw this, just stood quietly.

Zhao Zheyu has never been very interested in these things, but he is also a bastard son of the Zhao family, and he knows that these things are good things, but he doesn't know how good they are.Glancing at the paintings hanging on the wall, his eyes were attracted by a painting hanging in the corner.

Gu Hanzhao turned around, and saw that the decoration of this shop was elegant.Except for the Baibao Pavilion, there are still a few paintings hanging on the wall. After a closer look, I found that some of them are genuine. Although they are not masterpieces of masters, he does know two of them. .

These things are already considered excellent in Huanxi Town, but they are nothing in his eyes, and he immediately lost some interest.It was only when he turned his head that Zhao Jianyu standing behind him was looking at a picture scroll hanging in the corner with his back turned to him.

In the painting, there is only the back view of a person straddling a horse and raising his whip, galloping towards the old city under the setting sun, and there are two lines of poems in the lower right corner of the painting.

Standing behind him, Gu Hanzhao was shocked at first glance, this painting...

Seeing the two standing in front of the painting, the shopkeeper explained: "This painting is inscribed by Empress Xie, but the pen and ink are quite different from Empress Xie's painting. Presumably it should be an imitation of later generations."

The Empress Xie mentioned by the shopkeeper, whose real name is Xie Huai'an, is the descendant of Daze's Zhongxing Emperor, Wuchang Emperor Fenglin, and also the ancestor of Prime Minister Xie.It's just that this painting is indeed not made by Queen Xie as the shopkeeper said.

Compared with the title of empress, Xie Huai'an is really famous all over the world. Even after entering the harem, the reason why he can still be sought after by talented scholars in Shilin is that he is a talented person, and he is well-deserved as the number one talented person in Daze.Three-year-old capable of poetry, seven-year-old capable of writing, the youngest number one scholar in Daze's history, he accompanied Emperor Wuchang to fight everywhere when he was still the prince, and successively recovered Beidi and Southern Xinjiang, which doubled the territory of Daze .

Such a person, as long as they leave behind paintings, they must be sought after by the kings and grandchildren, and it is impossible to live here. Although this painting is covered with Xie Huai'an's private seal, it is a school of its own. There is only one person in the painting. On the contrary, it seems that there are thousands of troops.

"This brush is sharp, but it is too chic, so it is a bit rough. Empress Xie is good at painting landscapes, but rarely draws people. His brushwork is dense and delicate. Even cliffs and strange rocks will have a sense of detail. , but it will not lose its original momentum. The city in this painting has a bit of the shadow of Empress Xie." Seeing their curiosity, the shopkeeper stepped forward and explained that this painting has been seen by many contemporary painters, and the evaluation they received was only one. Words - pity.

The last owner of this painting was a squire, who bought this painting with a lot of money, and was so angry that he was bedridden after knowing that it was not authentic. Later, his family sold the painting to the shopkeeper at a very low price as an extra.

"Riding on the horse and raising the dust to illuminate the lonely city, returning to the passers-by in the wind and rain." Gu Hanzhao said silently, this word was written very well, with iron and silver hooks, each stroke was extremely powerful, and it had a domineering air.Although I don't know whether this painting was made by Empress Xie, but as far as the painting itself is concerned, it is already a rare treasure. Compared with it, this word is exactly the same, and the two form a very harmonious scene.

Gu Hanzhao sighed for it. The previous owners of this painting wanted to pay attention to whether the painting was made by Empress Xie, but when they found out that it was not, they hung up the painting casually.The shopkeeper has seen some things in the world, but it is not enough, otherwise such a treasure should be kept well no matter who it comes from.

"My lord, drink tea." At this time, the shopkeeper's wife came over with the brewed Biluochun. The shopkeeper's wife had more eyes than her younger brother, and she returned to the backyard after serving the tea.

"Two gentlemen, try this Biluochun tea." This tea was brought from Luodu by the shopkeeper's trustee, and serving this tea can be regarded as a kind of flattery to them.

Zhao Zheyu was a little surprised at the shopkeeper's hospitality, but thanked the shopkeeper anyway, and put it aside after drinking, he never pays much attention to these things, if what is in front of him is a bowl of boiled medicinal juice, he can easily tell the ingredients used, But this tea tastes the same to him.

Gu Hanzhao is fond of wine, so he has no interest in Biluochun, so he just tasted it.

But this reaction changed in the eyes of the shopkeeper. The tea could not even be drunk by the children of some aristocratic families. Unexpectedly, it could not catch the eyes of these two. The shopkeeper was even more sure that the two in front of him were distinguished guests.

"Want this painting?" Seeing that his mind was on the painting, Gu Hanzhao asked.

Zhao Zheyu nodded hesitantly, it was a pity to let this painting hang here to be dusted, but he was a little hesitant when he thought of the little money left, and it was difficult to choose between the medicinal materials and the painting.

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy this painting, please quote me a price." Gu Hanzhao naturally sensed Zhao Zheyu's love, and asked without hesitation.

"No..." Zhao Jianyu was about to refuse, but Gu Hanzhao held his hand to stop him from continuing. Zhao Jianyu was taken aback, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he was attracted by those hot hands. , where there is still the mind of painting.

"This painting is not expensive." The shopkeeper put it off, but he had already made up his mind.

Gu Hanzhao took off the jade pendant hanging from his waist and put it on the table, saying, "I don't have any silver with me, so I can exchange this jade pendant with you."

The shopkeeper's hands trembled slightly, greed flashed away, and he forced a smile and said, "Young master, this is a high-quality mutton fat white jade, and it is really not worthwhile to exchange for this painting."

Zhao Zheyu also saw that the jade was valuable, but he just thought that Gu Hanzhao was willing to exchange it for the jade, so it must be worth it.

"I think this painting is worth it." Gu Hanzhao didn't care.

Seeing his actions, the shopkeeper strengthened his mind and said, "My lord, I will give this painting to you, and it can be regarded as a good relationship."

"Good fate? My good fate is not so good." Gu Hanzhao raised his eyebrows, although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were full of coldness.

The shopkeeper was intimidated by his eyes, his throat was so dry that he could hardly make a sound, but thinking of his wife and young children who were still in the backyard, he still insisted: "Master, you are worrying too much. I, I just want to give the painting to you. As for whether the young master is willing to form this good relationship, it is naturally up to the young master himself."

"You are an interesting person. What do you want me to help you with?" The frost in Gu Hanzhao's eyes had faded, but the shopkeeper still did not dare to relax. I was expelled, and now I want to go back there."

Gu Hanzhao raised his eyebrows and neither agreed nor refused, and the shopkeeper was not obsessed with his answer, but just took down the painting and put it in Gu Hanzhao's hands.
