Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

It was almost noon when the two returned to Dongdu Pavilion, so they went to the study to salute Pu Qiming.

Just after morning class, Pu Qiming was in his study.Tang Wuyi lifted the curtain and saw Pu Qiming staring blankly at the newly painted Er Yue Lan on the table.Mr. Pu's paintings have always been well-known, especially good at flowers and birds, but he never painted pines, cypresses, bamboos and chrysanthemums that literati are fond of. His favorite painting in his life is Er Yue Lan, which is smudged with deep and shallow blue and purple. The blue-purple is cool and cool, and he painted it warmly and brilliantly. In the upper left corner, two yellow-green red-billed jade birds are small and cute, and they are singing to each other.

"Mr. Pu." Tang Wuyi and Wen Tao saluted, and Tang Wuyi smiled, "Mr. Pu is painting Er Yuelan again. Every year during the flowering period of February Orchid, the orchids on Mr. Pu's desk are constant, and when the flowering period is over , Mister began to draw again. Er Yue Lan is everywhere, and Mr. Pu has a soft spot for this flower."

Pu Qiming said indifferently: "The flowers bloom differently every year. Although the Eryuelan is not expensive, it is self-satisfied. When the fragrance is exhausted, there will be flower appreciators."

After all, Tang Wuyi was born in a military camp, and because these literati and inkmen have always been ignorant of their thoughts, Wen Tao tilted his head and thought for a moment and said: "Speaking of it, the flowering period of Er Yue Lan and May is just over, which is later than Tu Mi. Waiting until the orchids fall in February and then using Danqing in the painting, sir is also a caring person."

Mr. Pu raised his eyes and looked at Wen Tao. Although the young man had only lived in Dongdu Pavilion for one year, Mr. Pu felt a sense of déjà vu from time to time, his gaze passed him, as if falling into the void.

"Mr. Pu?" Tang Wuyi called him.Recently, Mr. Pu seems to be in deep thought from time to time, as if he has a lot of things on his mind.

"It happens that there is something I want to entrust you two to do." Mr. Pu said, looking up at them.

Tang Wuyi hurriedly said seriously: "Please tell me, sir, we happen to be taking a bath." After saying that, he grinned, "I'm happy to run errands for sir."

Pu Qiming couldn't help but laugh too.He has taught many students, the most vivid one is Tang Wuyi, no matter how big the matter is, he seems to be able to laugh it off, and he also hopes that he can be like him, be honest and sincere, and hold the goodwill of the world , guarding the one you love and doing things that are worthy of your heart.

If only everything in the world could be turned over so easily.

"I sent a painting a while ago to be mounted in the Rong Guxuan in Kyoto. I can pick up the painting after some time. The last time their servant broke the scroll when delivering the painting, I don't want them to send it again. This time I wanted to pick it up in person, but I didn't want to miss the lessons of my disciples."

"It's a trivial matter. It just so happens that Taotao hasn't been to the capital yet." Tang Wuyi heard that it was a good job, and his eyes were full of smiles.

Wen Tao also said: "I should try my best, but there are also many framing shops in Luoyang. Mr. Pu is far away, but what is the mystery?"

Pu Qiming smiled slightly and said, "Wuyi, look at Mr. Wen Dao. His knowledge and ideas are above yours. When you hear the word "Kingto", you just think of having fun."

Tang Wuyi grinned and said: "Sir, I know that I have always been very negligent in such trivial matters. Besides, now that Taotao is here, he can remind me of anything I can't think of."

Pu Qiming snorted lightly but said solemnly to Wen Tao: "It's all because I have searched all over Luoyang and Kyoto, only Rong Guxuan's family has the method of hand scroll mounting."

"Hand scroll framed?" Wen Tao asked doubtfully.

"Ordinary painting and calligraphy are mounted for hanging. There are more than enough paintings and calligraphy hanging in my study. A few years ago, I heard that Rong Guxuan in Kyoto created an original method of hand scroll mounting. The calligraphy and painting are mounted in the wide scroll of the book, which can be placed on the desk. It suits my temperament for exhibiting and rewarding. I don’t want to hang up my humble works, but I make them into hand scrolls by the hand scroll mounting method, which is also suitable for collection.” Mr. Pu explained.

"So that's how it is. It is expected that Rong Guxuan's unique skill won't be spread to the outside world." Wen Tao said clearly, "This trip must be to help the master run away."

"Thank you, Master Wen." Pu Qiming also returned the gift.

"Sir, a bowl of water is not fair, you just thank him but not me." Tang Wuyi said.

"Okay, Tang Wuyi, talk about this with me when the wings are hard?" Pu Qiming glanced coldly, and Tang Wuyi quickly shut up.Tang Wuyi was not afraid of anything since he was a child, even Tang You used to have nothing to do with him, until Mr. Pu was invited, every time he raised his eyebrows, not angry, Tang Wuyi immediately obeyed.

At that moment, Tang Wuyi and Wen Tao took two horses from the stables of Dongdu Pavilion and planned to set off lightly.Pu Qiming handed over the voucher for picking up the painting to the two of them. Just as Tang Wuyi took the voucher, a cold arrow flew towards Pu Qiming, and it was about to hit Pu Qiming. He missed it, brushed Pu Qiming and shot it onto the goal post.

Tang Wuyi and Wen Tao looked at each other, Tang Wuyi patted his horse and chased in the direction of the arrow, while Wen Tao stood by Pu Qiming's side.The time for a stick of incense passed, and there was no movement at the gate of Dongdu Pavilion. After a while, Tang Wuyi also rode back and shook his head at Wen Tao from a distance.Tang Wuyi got off the horse and said: "I didn't find it, there are too many people in the market."

Wen Tao frowned and said, "There is no movement here either."

Pu Qiming looked at the arrow and said calmly: "It's nothing, this is Dongdu Pavilion, and there are all kinds of people looking for it."

Tang Wuyi shook his head and said, "Mr. Pu, it's better for us to stay in Dongdu Pavilion. The arrow seems to be aimed at Mr.

But Pu Qiming said: "If it's really for me, if you stay here, that person won't do anything. I'll just stay behind closed doors for the past two days. Anyway, the disciples in the pavilion have martial arts to protect me."

Tang Wuyi was still hesitating, Wen Tao looked at the arrow shot on the doorpost and said: "Mr. Pu's words are also reasonable, we don't know the purpose of that man's shooting arrow yet. At that time, the three of us were in Dongdu Pavilion. At the door, it is not easy to kill with one arrow. Maybe that person is trying to remind us or warn us with an arrow, if so, the three of us will not necessarily show up again in the pavilion to treat him strictly."

Pu Qiming smiled and said: "That's right. Besides, it's the end of the month. As usual, your elder brother will go back to Luoyang for a few days to rectify military affairs. I really need to inform your elder brother if there is anything here. You should go with Mr. Wen Dao." Let's relax in Kyoto."

Tang Wuyi seemed to be convinced, and said: "Luoyang will arrive in Kyoto in two days, let's go and return quickly, sir will be fine."

"There's no need to worry. The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and the capital must be very lively. It's just a cold shot. Dongdu Pavilion has handled countless cases and offended many people. It's really not worth making a fuss about." Pu Qiming said.

Tang Wuyi called out the disciples in the pavilion, gave them careful instructions, and then got on the horse with Wen Tao and left.The two looked back and waved to Pu Qiming, only to see Pu Qiming's dark blue figure was handsome and straight, like a plum branch proud of snow and wind in the cold night.
