……

After helping each other all night, Zhou Xun woke up the next day.

After feeling the person lying beside him, Zhou Xun closed his eyes again.His eyes were a little swollen, as if he had cried.But he was a little dazed and a little annoyed in his heart, because...

Last night was completely different from the first night between them.

At the first time, the emperor was very careful and gentle, and very jerky. The two of them groped under the covers together, and in the end they knocked Zhou Xun very painfully.Although Zhou Xun obviously wanted to start it, the emperor would stop and coax him when he shrank in pain or felt even a little uncomfortable.Compared with the so-called "falling into the clouds" happiness in those scriptures, what he felt was more the tenderness of being embraced.

But last night... the half-drunk emperor didn't stop until he cried out - even though he kept kissing his eyes, or using kisses to seal his crying lips.Although Zhou Xun had to admit that in the end he did feel more...happy than last time, but just thinking of those few sentences he was forced to utter at the end with "Brother Yu" begging for mercy, he felt ...

... a little angry.

and……

Soon the emperor also woke up, and they woke up with their legs pinched.Zhou Xun closed his eyes, listening to him say in his ear: "A Xun?"

"Xun Er? Brother Xun Er? Brother Xun? Xun Maomao? Meow Meow Meow? Wang Wang Wang? Daughter-in-law?"

Zhou Xun: ...you actually call me a civet cat.

He made up his mind to pretend to be asleep.The emperor over there seemed to understand that he couldn't wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep.Not long after, Zhou Xun felt a lightness around him...

The emperor actually left?

Zhou Xun: ...

When the emperor came back, he saw Zhou Xun lying under the quilt, pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, "I know I'm a bit vexatious, but I can't help but feel like sulking".So he scratched his head, got on the bed, rolled two peeled eggs on each other's eyes, and whispered: "Don't worry, no one will see you crying after a while..."

"Pass……"

Zhou Xun finally opened his eyes. The emperor took the egg away and smiled brightly at him.

The emperor climbed onto the bed again and began to touch Zhou Xun's back through his coat, as if smoothing his hair.The red champion robe was already in disrepair, with strange marks all over it.He said awkwardly, "What, it's a mistake to drink, I... Are you angry? Did I go too far yesterday?"

Zhou Xun: ...

Emperor: "I thought you were very comfortable...don't dare next time!"

Zhou Xun: ...

After a while, he hugged his knees and said, "Why did you become so..."

Emperor: "So?"

Zhou Xun held back for a long time before he said a word: "Proficient."

The emperor replied very frankly: "Ah, after the first time I went back, I memorized every link and every detail, reviewed it in my head more than a dozen times, summarized all the deficiencies and the steps that should be done in detail, and reviewed it in detail. I have simulated and experimented many times in my brain, and I have memorized every sensitive part of you. And I have replayed it through the path..."

Zhou Xun: ...

The emperor described this incident so simply and straightforwardly, and even claimed to have replayed it many times... He almost lost his breath, and his face was almost red.

"What are you..." It took him a long time before he hesitated to speak, "Why do you... Forget it, I'm thinking too much. Actually, I understand, you're drunk, you will... next time Stop it."

His last sentence "Don't do this next time" was soft and whispered.And after he finished speaking, he felt... In fact, the emperor didn't do anything to him.

"You didn't think much about it." The emperor suddenly picked up his hair and kissed the back of his neck, "I'm just..."

Zhou Xun: ...

Emperor: "I'm playing a hooligan on you, hehehe."

... In Zhou Xun's heart, although the emperor usually looks unreliable, his image of a gentleman has collapsed.

... He actually "bullyed" me.

Although he was hugged by the emperor for a long time afterwards, it was sweet and sweet for a long time.But Zhou Xun was still in the shock of being "played a hooligan" until he returned to his house.There was a Turun standing in front of Zhou Xun's house, and Zhou Xun could see him from a distance, rubbing his hands.

Seeing Zhou Xun, Tu Run's face brightened.Just as Zhou Xun was about to greet him, he heard him shout happily: "Master!"

Zhou Xun: ...

He couldn't laugh or cry: "What master?"

"Now you have won the first prize, you are the master!" Tu Run said, "I also won the honor. Although I am the last one, I finally have an official. I will go outside to become an official in two days. So let’s say goodbye today.”

Zhou Xun also said goodbye to him, and gave him some farewell gifts.Tu Run said again: "By the way, have you heard that Zhou Cai is going to marry the lady of the Shangshu family, and the pomp is so big, Yan Shangshu even took out a picture, saying that he found it with great difficulty." The heirloom treasure that came back, the painting is still the work of Lin Mingxi from the previous dynasty. He said that it was given to him by his benefactor, so he upholds the benefactor's kindness or something, so even if Zhou Cai falls down, he will not break the contract and will marry his daughter he……"

He described a series of paintings eloquently, talking about the landscape in the painting, the allusions of the painting, and the pavilion with the black roof in the painting, and said: "Zhou Cai is really lucky to have such a loving father-in-law. But it would be miserable for Miss Yan to marry Zhou Cai, and she would go back to the frontier in a few years. If it were me, I would be reluctant to let my daughter live a hard life. But Yan Shangshu is so capable, maybe Zhou Cai can stay in the It's in the capital."

After Tu Run said this, he thought of another topic, and asked Zhou Xun winkingly if there was any princess daughter who had taken a fancy to him.Zhou Xun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, so he had to ask him to care more about the major events in his life.

Finally sent Tu Run away.After Zhou Xun closed the door, he returned to Zhuyutang.He sat in the study, took out the painting that Xiao Wu sent back last time, and looked at it carefully.

After looking at it for a long time, he closed the painting, smiled, and said: "This landscape painting was painted by Lin Mingxi when he resigned from office to the then Emperor Wu, who had successfully usurped the throne after killing his brother who was the emperor. The emperor was a courtier, and Lin Mingxi was a former courtier, but Emperor Wu was very kind to him. So he painted this painting to resign from office in all kinds of pain. What is painted in the painting is the landscape outside the old capital, which is worth seeing What is mentioned is that this painting was painted five years after Emperor Wu came to the throne, but it still shows the old Yanbo Pavilion—it was completely burned down once during the war when Emperor Wu entered Beijing. Later, Emperor Wu built a new one. The pavilion has a stone-blue roof. The stone used at that time could not be found, so it had to be replaced with a black roof. But the Yanbo Pavilion in the painting still looks like the old stone-blue color. After receiving his birthday gift, this painting Later, Emperor Wu asked him to leave. It is also because of this that this painting clearly depicts mountains and rivers without smoke and waves, but Lin Mingxi titled it "Smoke and Waves Picture". ?”

Xiao Duo was dumbfounded, he seemed to have never heard of this story before, so he could only murmur: "So there is such a story...but the difference between Shi Qingse and Wuse is so small, and Emperor Wu actually discovered it? "

"Perhaps smart people like to play puzzle games. For Emperor Wu, Lin Mingxi was a beast belonging to the previous dynasty that he could not tame. Therefore, he was very happy to play puzzle games in every sentence with him. Or to solve his puzzles and regard it as a means of taming. But he didn't know that Lin Mingxi would play such a game, but it didn't mean that he would continue to play with him. So he put the last puzzle After that, he followed Xie Yushan, a traitor who was always loyal to the first emperor, to open an academy—this is what my mother told me in the past. The Lin family was the orphan adopted by Lin Mingxi The descendants are the descendants of the Lin family. She was also a talented woman who was famous in Jiangzhou." He turned and asked Xiaoduo, "Send this painting to the largest auction house in the capital, Duobao Pavilion for auction. Lin Mingxi's widow Works are treasures handed down from generation to generation, and many literati are proud to be able to collect his works. Presumably, many people will not hesitate to pay a high price for them? The scene will be very lively at that time, right?"

"Mr. Zhou." Xiao Duo was startled, "This painting is very precious, isn't Mr. Zhou short of money? Or, tell the emperor..."

"Such a good treasure deserves a finale. The owner of Duobao Pavilion will start publicizing and preparing for the auction of this painting a few days in advance, right? Let him just tell the outside world that he has a landscape painting of Lin Mingxi here, which comes from the Lin family. People, don’t say which one it is. He himself will stir up this matter. Today’s Duobao Pavilion has no good things worth auctioning for a long time. , Zhaixing Tower surpassed."

"Then... since the young master is going to be auctioned, according to this statement, why not find Chu Yunkuo? Chu Yunkuo has such a good personal relationship with the emperor, he will definitely help the young master wholeheartedly..." Xiao Duo was puzzled.

"Bring it to Chu Yunkuo, doesn't the emperor know about it? He doesn't need to worry about such a trivial matter." Zhou Xun said.

After Xiaoduo heard this sentence, his heart suddenly tightened, as if he understood something.

That's right, Mr. Zhou wanted to take advantage of this genuine painting to slap Yan Shangshu's face severely, so as to reveal his mask of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and expose his arty true face to the public.Young Master Zhou certainly didn't want the emperor to see such means.No matter how vicious he is in private, he always wants the emperor to see his happiest, most pure and gentle side.

Xiaoduo was moved by his brain power, and felt like crying.

"And..." Zhou Xun paused, his hand holding the book suddenly tightened, and his veins bulged, "I doubt what Chu Yunkuo usually talks to the emperor, or what books to give the emperor, I always feel If only the emperor was alone, he probably wouldn't..."

He paused, and the roots of his ears were stained with a thin red.After a long time, he said: "That's it, hehe."

Xiaoduo: ...Although I don't know what it means, I feel like I'm thinking too much.

If Chu Yunkuo himself were here, he would probably be wronged.You must know that the emperor suddenly asked him inexplicably a few days ago, is there any cat ears that can be worn on the head in the business in his hand... His sudden whimsy almost made people who had experienced Chu Yunkuo, who was fighting, was awed by it.

Xiaoduo quickly took the order.Before leaving, Zhou Xun said again: "That's right."

"The date of the auction should also be set, let's say April [-]th," he said unhurriedly, "April [-]th is a good day for Zhou Cai and Yan's House, it must be very exciting."

Xiao Duo answered yes.

That's how the auction was arranged.It is said that the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion saw this precious auction item and called out to the experts. He was trampled by the Star Picking Pavilion and almost knelt down for this mysterious seller to call his father.Of course, this painting is actually the same one as Yan Shangshu's words in the legend.This incident made the shopkeeper extremely puzzled at first, if the visitor hadn't claimed to be a descendant of the Lin family, and judging from his demeanor, he might have been regarded as a liar and beaten out.

However, when the master appraiser in Duobao Pavilion came to the conclusion that this painting is true, when he found more appraisers, and even found a great Confucian who had lived in seclusion for many years and didn't care about world affairs, he gave the conclusion that the painting was true. After reaching the same conclusion, the shopkeeper even shed tears of excitement.He was extremely grateful that he hadn't lost his mind and knocked out the owner of the painting.

He immediately started promoting it vigorously and followed the seller's instructions.He didn't care about the seller's purpose. The only thing he thought was a publicity stunt was that the painting he auctioned was one of Lin Mingxi's three most famous paintings.

All of a sudden, the whole capital knew that there was a famous painting by Lin Mingxi in Duobao Pavilion to be auctioned.Generally speaking, such a famous painting will not appear in the auction market. Most of the time, it is monopolized and collected by aristocratic families.And who is the painting, everyone also has a vague idea.But Duobaoge's words were too decisive, which made them feel confused and shaken, and they had heated discussions on this matter in private.For a while, Zhou Cai and Yan Ruoqi's touching marriage, which was originally regarded as "the rainbow will finally be seen after the hard work", was also suppressed by this incident.

And the man behind the scenes who stirred up this situation is sitting peacefully in his own mansion.The emperor planned to arrange a special errand for Zhou Xun, but it was still under resolution and could not be arranged for a while.Zhou Xun is free for the time being.It stands to reason that his life should be quite leisurely and comfortable.

However, he was faced with a tragedy.

That is, the mansion where Zhou Xun lived was exposed, and for a while, the guests who came and went to visit the number one scholar broke through the threshold.

Some of them came to make friends, some came to explore, some came to give gifts to watch the fun and please this hot newcomer, but more of them were...

Come say hello to Zhou Xun.
