Ci Jinzhi Chapter 268

The painting is waiting for the edict to be written, and two lines of poems are dropped in the blank space of the picture: Gaobiao Yiyun, do you know that it is when the ice and snow accumulate.

 Different from the vigorous and sharp handwriting of He Yushi, the calligraphy of "Dai Zhao" has the beauty of flowing clouds and flowing water.

Xin You was bright and aboveboard. He looked at it carefully and praised: "Good sentences and good words."

"As long as you like it, little brother." Hua Daizhao could tell that the praise came from the sincerity, and he suddenly felt like a confidant.

“Uncle has such painting skills, he can go to academies or teach the children of wealthy people. Why do he set up a stall on the street?”

Huadaizhao sighed after hearing this.

I once thought that the sky would be soaring, but I didn't expect that I fell into a big pit and couldn't climb out.

Facing the curious gaze of the young man, Hua Daizhao couldn't say anything, so he said vaguely: "It's more comfortable to set up a stall on the street, and it's not for money..."

Looking at Hua Daizhao's tough words, Xin You probably understood.

Having been summoned to the Hanlin Academy like this by Hua Daizhao, it meant serving the royal family. Selling paintings openly to obtain property would easily lead to disaster. However, the salary was too low and there were no additional rewards. In order to make ends meet, he had to secretly set up stalls and sell paintings.

By this time, the suspicion of Hua Daizhao in Xinyou's heart was very small.

Whoever is a chess piece will have such a difficult life.

When the ink was dry, Xin You rolled up the painting, put down two taels of silver, and turned to leave, but was held tightly by the painter.

 “Little brother, I gave you too much.”

Xin You smiled: "I think it's too little. With my uncle's painting skills, this painting is worth twenty taels of silver."

Hua Daizhao was stunned after hearing this. When he came to his senses again, the young man had already strode away.

"Xin Daizhao..." Hua Daizhao held the cold broken silver tightly and looked at the direction Xin You left without moving for a long time.

The next day, Xinyou stepped into the waiting room and nodded to the people who came over to greet him as before. He subconsciously showed a big smile and quickly took it back.

Not long after, the palace servant came to tell Xinyou to enter the palace.

As soon as she left, Divination Daizhao suddenly came up to Hua Daizhao and looked left and right.

 “What are you doing?” Hua Daizhao frowned.

 “Strange, strange.” The fortune teller was confused.

 “What's strange?” Ci Daizhao was attracted by the fortune-telling behavior and asked aloud.

Qi Daizhao also opened his eyes and looked over.

Divination Waiting for the Imperial Examination looked at the painting waiting for the imperial edict carefully, and murmured: "The day before yesterday, I made a random divination and calculated that the painting waiting for the imperial edict will bring bad luck. But today, not only did the bad luck disappear, but I also made a small fortune."

Hua Daizhao's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Divination Daizhao.

He always thought this guy was a magician, but he didn't expect that he was actually a magician!

 Discovering that his colleague is a really capable person, Hua's attitude towards the imperial edict was different: "Brother Bu was right. I was going to be unlucky, but I met a noble person..."

After hearing the divination and waiting for the imperial edict, he immediately shook his turtle shell. After reading the divination, he looked at the painting and waiting for the imperial edict with a very solemn expression.

 “Brother Bu, could it be that my little brother is still unlucky?”

“No—” Divination Waiting for Zhao shook his head, hesitated for a moment and finally said, “Perhaps this noble man is the opportunity for Brother Painter to rise to prominence.”

Hua Daizhao's heart skipped a beat.

Ci Daizhao and Qi Daizhao came over and asked, "Brother Hua, what is the identity of this noble man?" Hua Daizhao shook his head hurriedly: "It's just a chance encounter, I don't know."

"That's a pity." Among them, Ci Daizhao is the youngest and the most talkative. "Brother Hua, I see you just smiled warmly at Xin Daizhao."

“Well, they are all colleagues who look down and don't look up all day long. It's not good to turn a blind eye to them all the time.”

Xin You now thinks of Hua Daizhao as a good person with good character and good temper, and he also knows how to paint. Hua Daizhao is not willing to say that he is not good against his will.

“I'm afraid that our enthusiasm may cause others to misunderstand that we want to climb high.”

Hua Daizhao blurted out: "Xin Daizhao is not this kind of person."

 “Huh?” Several people looked at him.

“I have been painting characters for so many years, and I am used to observing a person's eyes. Xin Daizhao's eyes are pure and clear, and his character must be unmistakable.”

 “Brother Hua, don't you just judge people by their appearance.” Ci Daizhao shook his head.

“If you don't believe it, just look back.”

 Hua Daizhao believes that it is impossible to hide a person's temperament after getting along day and night for a long time. By then, several colleagues will find out how good Xin Daizhao is.

Unexpectedly, within a few days after saying "paintings and waiting for imperial edicts", a rumor came out: Mr. Songling had another person, and Xin Mu, who had entered the Hanlin Academy with writings and waiting for imperial edicts, was an imposter.

Xin You appeared as Xin Mu and did not hide the fact that she was not Mr. Songling from the beginning. Emperor Xingyuan knew this, Meng Jijiu knew it, and Xie Zhangyuan of the Hanlin Academy also knew it.

 However, these people's knowledge does not prevent the rumors from getting worse. People's mouths cannot be blocked. Compared with top figures who know the situation early, ordinary people's sources of information come from hearsay and then spread.

 The most angry among them were the students of the Imperial College.

When school was over, several young supervisors rushed into Qingsong Bookstore and surrounded Shopkeeper Hu.

“Does the shopkeeper know that someone pretended to be Mr. Songling and used Mr. Songling's talents to enter the Hanlin Academy?”

Shopkeeper Hu looked confused: "What Hanlin Academy? A commoner like me doesn't understand this."

"It's useless to talk to him. Let's go and meet that Xin Daizhao." The leading student was none other than Sun Zhangxu, Zhang's first assistant.

On the way to the Hanlin Academy, someone was also worried: "Brother Zhang, I heard that that man is the adopted son of the late empress, and he is often summoned by me."

Zhang Xu sneered: "So what? We didn't plan to beat him, we just asked him where he had the shame to take the name of Mr. Songling. Like me, you have read "Journey to the West" and regard Mr. Songling as everyone's , can he tolerate someone using his reputation to swindle? Humph, if you are afraid, just go back, I will go by myself, even if I get scolded by you, I will admit it!"

 People are divided into groups, and birds of a feather flock together. You can imagine what kind of Jiansheng is like who can mix with Zhang Xu. Hearing Zhang Xu's excitement, the few of them stopped talking and headed towards the Hanlin Academy in a furious manner.

The rumors about Xin Daizhao naturally spread to the Hanlin Academy. When Xinyou went out to the lower office, the few people in the east hall who were eager to make friends with her all avoided her with contempt on their faces.

There are no other places. The Hanlin Academy is the place where Daxia cultivates talents and gathers talents from all over the world. It is really infuriating for such a person to sneak in.

Xin You ignored these looks and walked out. With a calm expression, she was actually in a good mood.

 Master He has already obtained Mr. Zhao's handwriting, which is different from Zhou Tong's letter, but she has not yet had the chance to meet the third Dongsheng in person.

Stepping into this whirlpool, she is not afraid of trouble. The calm situation made it difficult for people to start, and the rumors about her all proved that the forces behind the scenes really existed, and seeing that she often came to the palace to accompany her, he became anxious.

 “Are you out?”

The young voice floated into Xin You's ears. She followed the sound and saw several teenagers jumping out.
