Sui Jiu Dan blue half-pin

After the singing and dancing began, the banquet slowly became lively.The princes and ministers also took this opportunity to present gifts to the empress dowager.

On behalf of the entire Academy of Painting, Lord Shi Ti and Lord Dai Zhao presented a three-meter-long "Longevity Picture" to the Empress Dowager.

It took a whole year to make it after spending tens of thousands of dollars worth of paint. They moved tens of thousands of rare flowers into the painting, and even painted hundreds of flying phoenixes and the favorite of the empress dowager. Persian cats play with butterflies, implying prosperity and longevity.

Han Xizi and Jie Tai said in unison: "On behalf of the Academy of Painting, I wish the Empress Dowager a long life and good luck with the sky."

The empress dowager was overjoyed and said: "The Ai family likes this painting very much, the emperor will reward you a lot!"

Emperor Song was also very happy: "It can be seen that the Academy of Painting really prepared this time sincerely, and it really deserves an award."

Jietai and Han Xizi hurriedly kowtowed to thank: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

Emperor Song asked: "By the way, where is that painter with a bold style? Call him to show me."

Under the leadership of Han Xizi, Su Shiqing stepped into the hall with her shoulders shaking, her weak body knelt on the ground, huddled into a ball, her heart beating wildly due to nervousness.

Emperor Song was a little surprised when he saw such a young child, and asked, "Are you the one who painted the 'Picture Through the Window'?"

Su Shiqing closed her eyes tightly, and her voice trembled involuntarily: "Back, back to the emperor, yes, yes...the villain is not, that's right."

"Don't be afraid, raise your head and let me see."

Su Shiqing's mind was blank, and she raised her head slowly, but she didn't dare to open her eyelids to look.

Emperor Song was amazed when he saw the face that raised his head. Although he was a little far away, he could still see the otherworldly features, and his small shoulders were as light as willow leaves blown by the wind. Trembling slightly, it was hard to believe that this was actually a man with superb painting skills.

The empress dowager couldn't help but praised: "This child really looks like Shuiyue Guanyin, with green temples and beautiful face."

Emperor Song also nodded in agreement, and said kindly, "What's your name?"

"Thank you, thank the empress dowager for your praise, come back, go back to the emperor, the villain's name is Gu Meisheng."

"Gu Meisheng, why did you draw such a picture, not afraid that I will chop off your head?"

When Su Shiqing heard the word beheading, she was so frightened that she almost lost her wits, and hurriedly lay down on the floor again, her body shaking like a sieve.

"Small, villain... No, I never thought about it..."

Emperor Song grinned slightly and nodded: "You don't look very young, but you are quite courageous. Let me tell you what the story in this painting is like."

The empress dowager echoed: "The Ai family also wants to hear about it."

It's dead now.

Su Shiqing guessed that he would be dragged out and beheaded next time, so the scene of beheading that he had seen outside the execution ground flashed in his mind.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Han Xizi reminded him in a low voice: "Gu Meisheng, the emperor is asking you something, answer it quickly!"

Su Shiqing gritted her teeth, and then told the story according to the story recorded in the book "Youyang Zazu" that she had read.

During the reign of Zhenyuan, there was a commoner named Wang Shen in Wangyuan post in the west.

One afternoon, a beautiful woman came to ask for water, and her son led her in.This woman is not only beautiful in appearance, but also bright in speech and cute in manner. She lives nearby, her husband died and she has no children.

Wang Shen and his wife stayed with him for food and lodging, and the woman readily followed suit.After dinner, Wang Shen's wife took the girl to the back hall and called her a sister. Wang's wife liked the girl very much, and joked: "Since you have no close relatives, can you be my daughter-in-law?"

The woman said with a smile: "I am lonely, and I am willing to obey the arrangement."

That night, the woman married Wang Shen's son.After entering the bridal chamber, the woman warned Wang Shen's son that thieves were rampant recently, so he should not open the door to sleep, so she locked the door...

In the middle of the night, Wang Shen's wife was suddenly awakened by a nightmare. In the dream, his son was crying with his hair covered: "Mother, the child is about to be eaten by ghosts..."

Wang's wife told Wang Shen what she had dreamed, but Wang Shen only took it as crazy and ignored it.The king's wife had to lie down and go to sleep, and then dreamed of her son crying.The next day, I had an ominous premonition, so I immediately got out of bed and went to my son's room.When I came to the door, I called for my son and the woman, but there was no sound inside, it was deadly silence.

Wang's wife tried to open the door, but found that the door was locked, so she poked a hole in the window paper in fear, peeped in, and saw a skeleton sitting inside, and on the table in front of her was spread out a magic weapon specially designed to confuse people. Beautiful skin, just about to put it on.

Seeing the son's head under the table, Wang Shen's wife was so frightened that she collapsed at the door.Wang Shen ran over after hearing the sound, and slammed open the door forcefully. Seeing that the matter had been revealed, the skeleton grabbed the human skin and rushed away...

The fame, wealth and lies that the world pursues are all symbols of "evil ghosts". If they are only superficial and do not go deep into the truth, they may be haunted by "evil ghosts" and eventually die.

Following Su Shiqing's storytelling, everyone listened fascinatedly, sometimes quiet and sometimes frightened, and in the end they were so shocked by the ending that they couldn't calm down for a long time.

Su Shiqing was probably the No. 1 person who told ghost stories at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, and because of this, she lay on the ground anxiously waiting to be punished.

The empress dowager held her chest in shock, but after a long time she suddenly laughed out loud, and said to Emperor Song: "This story is very exciting, much more interesting than the storytelling you hear in ordinary times, let this child come to the palace more often in the future." Tell Aijia a story."

The queen echoed in a timely manner: "Yes, mother, the concubines are also fascinated by what they heard."

Emperor Song laughed loudly: "If the queen mother and queen want to hear it, just send someone to the painting academy to summon it."

Then he asked: "Gu Meisheng, are you willing?"

"Ah?" Su Shiqing's scalp tingled for a while, and immediately responded after recovering: "I am willing! The villain is willing!"

"You still have to draw all these stories, I want to keep them well."

Su Shiqing quickly agreed.

Being invited this time, he not only received a generous reward, but also opened up his fame and became the most sought after newcomer in the painting circle. It is simply unprecedented and unprecedented.

After returning to the seat, Su Shiqing sat down with her legs limp, her heart still pounding.

"This is jujube tea, drink it to make you feel at ease."

Shao Erxue put the red jujube tea in front of Su Shiqing with a smile, hoping that the unique sweetness of jujube could relieve his tense emotions and help him feel at ease.

Su Shiqing looked at Shao Erxue, and muttered: "You are laughing at me, brother Han Su."

Shao Erxue smiled wryly, "Where did you say that?"

"Jujube tea, aren't you saying that I am finding fault with myself?"

"Injustice..."

Shao Erxue shook his head helplessly, he actually regarded his whole heart as a donkey's liver and lungs.

After presenting the birthday gifts, the emperor entertained his ministers with a banquet.The Royal Golden Dragon Banquet is extraordinarily rich, with everything that one expects to find, Su Shiqing can be said to be a real treat.After the meal, the banquet table was removed, and then the wine and meal were set up.The whole birthday banquet lasted for two hours, it was arranged at noon and held at noon, and it was completely over at the end of the day.

The bright crescent moon rose to the center of the night sky, and Su Shiqing moved slowly with her heavy body.

As soon as he returned to Dongzhai, Su Shiqing immediately saw the yellow fire in the house.

"Is it Jieao?"

He forgot his fatigue and ran in with a single brain.Since I haven't seen Jie Ao for several days, I feel very happy.

But... that person is not Jie Ao, but Liu Shihao.

"You're back."

It was rare for Liu Shihao to raise his head from the book, the eyes on his thick dark circles were a little cold.

"It turned out to be you, why are you here?"

Su Shiqing lowered her head involuntarily, with a disappointed expression on her small face.

"There is no reason, I will live here from now on."

"Ah?" Su Shiqing's eyes widened in surprise, "But... there are already people living here."

"Didn't that person come back for a long time? And there are not enough dormitories, so three people have to squeeze into one room."

"What?" Hearing the news, Su Shiqing's expression instantly became bewildered, "... three people live in one room, this..."

Liu Shihao ignored him and continued to look at the book in his hand.

Su Shiqing lay paralyzed on the bed, thinking of the three of them getting along in the future, she felt mixed feelings.

The next day, he distributed all the melons, fruits and pastries bestowed by the emperor to the students and teachers of the painting academy.

With his mouth full of delicious pastries, Luo Yong asked vaguely: "You really haven't seen the emperor's dragon face?"

"Don't dare to look at it!"

Another painter stabbed Su Shiqing's elbow, and said with a smile: "You have won the glory for our painting academy! Now the whole city is discussing your matter!"

"Yeah, your paintings are famous now!"

"How many people are imitating your 'Gu Pai' painting style."

……

Everyone flattered Su Shiqing with every word, which made him both proud and embarrassed.

Seeing Su Shiqing's beauty, Wu Jun's group gritted their teeth angrily, secretly trying to punish him.

Two days later.

The new painters are holding a "new ceremony".

Su Shiqing also ran to join in the fun.

At this time, Wu Jun and his group pushed away the crowd.

Wu Jun crossed his arms and walked in front of Su Shiqing, and said with a smirk: "Hey, isn't this a master storyteller from our painting academy?"

"Hahahaha!"

The subordinates laughed mockingly in unison.

Su Shiqing turned cold and glared angrily: "You are not welcome here, get out of here."

Wu Jun was so annoyed by this sentence, he stepped on the chair he was sitting on, and said in a strange way: "You are so majestic, it stands to reason that you can be regarded as a new painter, and we are your teachers. Xin Li, you should come over and serve us tea and water, but... you can skip the tea and water service, but you can't escape the mission of this show."

"Que Xi's mission?"

Su Shiqing was confused, and quickly turned her questioning eyes to Luo Yong.

Luo Yong explained: "This... There are two major links in the "attendance ceremony". The first link is that the newcomers should serve tea to the teachers and seniors as a salute, and also send them gifts. If they are not accepted, they will be punished. New painters will be given a disqualification on the spot. The second link is the so-called Quexi, which is to give each of the new painters a task, which must be completed before the third watch. If you complete well, you will be rewarded. What is done will be punished.”

Su Shiqing refused after hearing this: "I don't accept it!"

Wu Jun snorted coldly, and his tone was unquestionable: "This is the practice of the painting academy. If you don't believe me, you can ask other people."

Su Shiqing saw that other people lowered their heads and showed a embarrassed expression, so she knew that he really couldn't escape this task.

When Wu Jun's subordinates moved the wooden box for the task, Su Shiqing couldn't help but swallowed and asked Luo Yong in a low voice.

"Que Xi's mission is not simple, is it?"

Luo Yong shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, some are easy and some are difficult. The task I got at the beginning was: go to the temple and ask the abbot for a comb, and ask the abbot to give him a calligraphy."

Su Shiqing opened her mouth wide: "Ah? Where did this... monk get the comb?"

Luo Yong shrugged his shoulders, expressing his helplessness: "So, this is not what the strongman can do."

"What's the punishment?"

"Take off your clothes, run around the painting academy with your body covered in ink."

Su Shiqing swallowed violently, and even wanted to run away.

Wu Jun said impatiently: "Stop mumbling there, hurry up and smoke."

They have already plotted secretly, no matter which task Su Shiqing gets, they will kill him.

All the new painters have already drawn the Que Opera task, and they just wait for Su Shiqing to go and draw.

Su Shiqing couldn't resist them, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and stretch her hand into the wooden box, praying inwardly, then took out an envelope from inside, and slowly opened it...
