They all say I'm a tyrant

Even You Yan has to admit that Lin Jue can be regarded as a proficient in the matter of "not doing business properly".

His study is located on the busiest main street in the capital city. Compared with the crowded shops around, it looks extraordinarily deserted. You Yan even wonders if this study has never sold a single calligraphy and painting since it opened. , but obviously, the owner of this study doesn't care.

It is obvious that Lin Jue put a lot of effort into this study, and You Yan only took a cursory glance, and saw a lot of good things, and the original three-point interest became five-point.He casually picked up a piece of jade, and casually looked at it: "This jade looks good, is it from the previous dynasty?"

"As expected of Brother You," Lin Jue glanced at his hand, with uncontrollable joy in his tone, "It was made by Wan Xun, a famous craftsman in the former dynasty, and this is the most exquisite of his many finished products. I spent a lot of effort on it." I just found it."

You Yan took the jade bi before his eyes, looked at it carefully, and then nodded: "It's really a good thing, I think you've come to this study today."

The corners of Lin Jue's mouth curled up, with undisguised pride on his face: "It's natural, I have put a lot of thought into it. Besides, people can't see everything when they want to come to my place, and only you, You Ziqing, can see it." Only a person with unique insight is worthy of these treasures of mine."

You Yan put the jade back to its original place, raised the corner of his mouth: "Then I have to take a closer look."

Lin Jue spread his hands: "This study is so big, you can go around as you like, I will let them make a pot of good tea, and prepare pens and inks by the way, and you will leave me calligraphy later anyway, I want to see you You Ziqing leader After the soldiers go to war, can they still hold the pen?"

When You Yan hadn't had such a comfortable time for a long time, he was rarely aroused by Lin Jue and waved his hand: "If you want me to write, good tea may not be enough, right?"

Lin Jue laughed loudly, and told the shopkeeper who was standing by: "Go and take out my jars of good wine that are stored here. If you can make Mr. You happy and write a picture or something, it will be worth as much as yours!" The small shop earns a living for half a year."

The shopkeeper glanced at You Yan in awe, and hurriedly retreated to prepare things.Lin Jue sat down, poured himself a pot of tea, drank it slowly, and let You Yan wander around the store by himself.

You Yan is no exception, he was famous in the capital because of his talents when he was young, although his hobbies these years are not here, it does not mean that those instincts will be forgotten.With his hands behind his back, he wandered slowly around the store. He looked at the jade antiques on the shelves and the calligraphy and paintings on the wall one by one.

Lin Jue drank half a cup of tea, and then remembered that there was another person in the shop: "How about it, Brother You, how many things in my small shop can catch your eyes?"

"There are many good things, but there are no unique ones." You Yan glanced at him, picked up an exquisite box on the counter, and took out a scroll from it. After just one glance, his brows raised "However, Brother Lin is inclusive of all rivers and rivers, not only the unparalleled calligraphy of the famous masters of the previous dynasty, but also this kind of...well, put it in such an exquisite box, isn't it Brother Lin, your practice pen?"

Lin Jue put down the tea cup in surprise, came to You Yan, glanced at his hand, and the expression on his face immediately became very ugly: "What is this thing? Who put this thing out?"

The shopkeeper came in hurriedly, saw the open box at a glance, and replied: "It was sent by the young master of the house. The young master said that this painting cost him a lot of money, and it is useless for him to keep it in his hand, so I will send it to you." Come here and let us sell it for him."

"Sell it?" Lin Jue held the scroll in disbelief, and gave it to the shopkeeper, "How many people with bad brains like him would spend money to buy such a thing and go home?"

You Yan remembered that Lin Jue did have a brother born to his concubine, who was a few years younger than him, and had entered the official position a few years earlier with his father's protection. To outsiders, he seemed more stable and reliable than Lin Jue, the eldest son , You Yan has also been in contact with the court several times, and he is indeed more suitable for the court officialdom than Lin Jue, but if you talk about real talents...

You Yan stretched out his hand and took the picture from Lin Jue's hand. In fact, it may not be possible to say how bad the writing is, but in Lin Jue's study, it does seem a bit out of place, and even more so. What's more, the shopkeeper said just now that Young Master Lin paid a lot of money for this painting, which made You Yan a little curious. He lowered his head and saw the seal in the lower left corner, leaned over to take a closer look, and said suspiciously: " Layman? Who is this person?"

Lin Jue glanced at the direction of his finger, and the expression on his face was obviously worried: "I think it's someone, no wonder. You must know this layman in Yunzhong. It's our Li Shangshu."

You Yan thought for a while, and asked uncertainly: "Li Bu?" He lowered his head and glanced at the words again, "So the words are indeed familiar, but I didn't expect Mrs. Li to ...Well, there is still this kind of elegance."

"You probably don't know, our Li Shangshu, no, at this time we will be called Yunzhong Layman. His calligraphy is hard to find in the capital now. I don't know how many high-ranking officials and dignitaries are trying their best to want his calligraphy." The corner of Lin Jue's mouth curled up into a mocking smile, "I wouldn't be surprised if the young master in our mansion paid a lot of money for his words."

You Yan raised his eyebrows, stared at the words for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Speaking of which, I suddenly feel that the words of our Li... Yunzhong Layman have a special charm."

Lin Jue: "???"

You Yan lowered his head and carefully rolled up the calligraphy slowly, and put it back in the brocade box: "Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise I would not have had the chance to see this calligraphy. I will keep this calligraphy. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to deliver the silver taels to your residence."

Lin Jue was extremely surprised: "You Ziqing, aren't you? The things you wrote in the past year are better than this thing. What do you buy it for?"

"Naturally, appreciate it." You Yan put away the brocade box, "It's pretty much the same thing, it's not in vain for me to accept this picture today. Where is the good wine you prepared for me?"

Lin Jue glanced at the brocade box rather sadly, and couldn't figure out how to keep all the good things in his room, and You Yan finally accepted such a thing that he detested so much.He waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, I can't understand you anyway. Come on, go to the backyard. I dug a small pond in the garden and planted half a pond of lotus. It just blooms now. I'm with your house." Naturally, it’s not comparable, but it’s still a good place to drink.”

You Yan nodded, holding the brocade box with a smile, followed Lin Jue to the back garden.

Because it is the back garden of the study, it is a little narrow, but it is unique. The lotus flowers in Banchi are in full bloom, reflecting each other with the green lotus leaves.You Yan squatted down under a tree by the pool, casually stirred the water a few times, and the koi that had been by the pool immediately dispersed.You Yan couldn't help frowning: "I don't know why, I always feel that I don't like koi very much."

Lin Jue sat down next to him, covered himself in the shade of the tree, and threw a handful of bait into the pond: "Impossible, my koi is very friendly, because I am used to being fed, I can eat it all the time." When someone comes over, they gather around the shore to beg for food."

"The koi in our family also call their relatives, but I have fished by the pond for three days, and none of them got the bait." You Yan took off his shoes and socks, put his feet into the pond water and swung a few times, stirring up the calm pond water Ripples.

Lin Jue looked at him with a complicated expression: "Are you fishing for koi in your lotus pond? If I remember correctly, the koi in your pond should be your father's treasure, right? leave you alone?"

A servant came over with a jug, and You Yan took a glass over and drank it down: "In this weather, the old man has already gone to the mountains to escape the summer heat, so how can he have time to take care of his flowers and plants."

Lin Jue stared at him for a while: "I think back then I didn't understand why you suddenly changed your sex and became an official, and even went to the battlefield, but now it looks pretty good."

You Yan drank another glass of wine before squinting at him: "Why do I feel that you are beating around the bush and scolding me?"

Lin Jue filled the wine for him: "I don't dare, I'm still waiting for Young Master You to have fun and write me something casually."

You Yan shook the wine cup in his hand, looked up and saw that the pen and ink had already been prepared in the pavilion not far away, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, pressed Lin Jue's shoulders to get up, and stepped on the sun-baked ground with bare feet. On the heated stone slab, I staggered into the pavilion: "I haven't written anything for others for many years. This writing is just a thank you gift for your pot of wine."

It was almost dusk when You Yan came out of the study, he drank two jugs of wine with Lin Jue, and they were very happy. Years of rare pleasure.It wasn't until Lin Jue was overwhelmed with alcohol and fell drunk by the lotus pond first, and was helped down by his servants, that You Yan declined the escort from the shopkeeper, and staggered out the door. Before leaving, he still didn't forget to take Li Bu's bag Words.

Just after leaving the door of the study, he saw a carriage waiting at the door, You Yan squinted his eyes to see the man standing in front of the carriage, shook his head and cupped his hands and said, "Chi guard."

Chi Che replied: "My lord, Your Majesty has already known about today's misunderstanding, and ordered his subordinates to come pick you up."

"Pick me into the palace?" You Yan waved his hand, the good robe on his body rolled by the lotus pond all afternoon, and he was already in a state of distress, "I don't want to hinder His Majesty's eyes with this look." He said He yawned, "I drank a little too much today, and I'm very sleepy now. Chi's guards are here, so please take me back home."

Chi Che frowned, but still nodded: "Yes."

You Yan didn't need his help, and climbed into the carriage by himself, with his hands and feet as if he wasn't drunk at all.Before putting down the curtain of the car, he said suddenly: "I don't have anything else here, but I just spent a lot of money to buy a painting from Mr. Lin, and asked the guards to bring it back to our Majesty, saying that I sent someone to deliver it to him." I'm going back home to thank you." As he said, he handed out the luxurious brocade box, "I'm sorry for the guard, let's go."
