Chapter 253

"Puff~~"

Just as the two old and young were fighting each other, an uncontrollable laughter sounded outside the window. When they looked up, they saw a beautiful girl leaning outside the window, her sleeves covering her mouth and smiling, and her eyes could hardly be opened.

"Miss Qing'er!" As he saw politely, Zhao Qi was not allowed to let go of his salute.

"Hehe!" Wu Wenying succeeded and quickly stuffed the seal into her clothes, for fear that it would run away. It felt unsafe enough. She pushed Zhao Qi out of the door, and then inserted the door bolt of the study with a clang, "Qing'er, I'll leave it to you. I'm not allowed to receive it!"

"Old man Wu, you're too much..." Zhao Qi turned around and shouted.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhao, don't be angry with Grandpa Jueweng. The weather is sunny today. Why not sit down at the pavilion? Qing'er and Mr. Zhao brew a cup of tea to quench their thirst!" Wu Yuechan's sleeves covered her pretty face and chuckled.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Miss Qing'er!" Zhao Qi bowed helplessly and followed Wu Yuechan to the pavilion in the yard surrounded by three little maids.

Three little maids went to boil water and make tea, and Wu Yuechan accompanied Zhao Qi to sit down in the pavilion.

"Why are you free to see Mr. Wu today? I heard that the fundraising today is very lively. Originally, Qing'er wanted to go to the dock to see it, but Grandpa Weng felt that there were too many people and was afraid of being unsafe..."

"It's right for Miss Qing'er to not go. There are indeed too many people. There are probably tens of thousands of people surrounding the dock. The patriotic enthusiasm of the Qingyuan Mansion made me very touched!" When talking about fundraising, Zhao Qi nodded with emotion.

"It's a pity that Qing'er and a woman can't help the young master!" Wu Yuechan spoke with a little disappointed.

"It's okay, there are many people who help. Fortunately, the new prefect Zhao Kui helped, the fundraising will be so smooth. As long as you raise enough military pay, I think it can solve the urgent problem for Duke Chong!" Zhao Qi waved his hand politely.

The two of them talked a few words. Wu Yuechan faced Zhao Qi alone for the first time. Her cheeks were red when she spoke, making Zhao Qi feel a little uncomfortable. She felt that the chat was too boring. It would be better to study the meteorite seal with Wu Wenying in the study.

"By the way, what are you arguing with Grandpa Jueweng just now? Could it be that the young master got a rare treasure?" Wu Yuechan also changed the topic very nervously and embarrassedly, so as not to make the two of them feel more embarrassed to be relatively speechless.

"Oh, a few days ago, when my family was repairing the house, it dug out an iron seal from the ground. It looked very old and the seal was very strange. Today, I came to the county town to ask Jueweng. Unexpectedly, Jueweng read a few ancient books and said that it might be the seal of Wang Mang of the New Dynasty!"

"The seal of Emperor Jianxing is indeed a big treasure!" Wu Yuechan covered her little mouth in surprise, and her pretty face showed an incredible look.

"Who knows if it is, but Jueweng refused to let me take it away. He argued with him for a long time. When Miss Qing'er left, I can't get it back now!" Zhao Qi smiled bitterly.

"Young Master, don't be angry. I feel that Grandpa Weng has nothing to do, but likes poetry, calligraphy and painting. Even if the seal is not from Emperor Jianxing, as long as it has some origin, I am afraid that he will fight for a few days. Don't worry, Qing'er will help you watch this seal, and you will definitely take it home next time you come!" Wu Yuechan covered her eyebrows and chuckled.

"Then I'll thank Miss Qing'er!" Zhao Qi could only bow and thank him helplessly.

This seal was completely beyond his expectations, and he never expected it to be Wang Mang's thing.

Moreover, he did not know much about Wang Mang. Everyone said that this was a lie who traveled through the past, carrying out various reforms, inventing all kinds of strange things to save the man, but the result was even more chaotic. In addition, the famine continued to spread across the country, and the peasant uprisings were surging. Soon the Xin Dynasty collapsed. Wang Mang was chopped into meat sauce and his head became a collectible.

Wu Wenying judged that the seal was from Wang Mang, and basically relied on guessing. The main reason was that the four characters Qiankun Chujian in the seal were the founding year of the Xin Dynasty. Moreover, based on the characteristics of the eight seal characters engraved in the seal, this seal must have been from the Qin and Han dynasties. With the elements such as dragon buttons, black iron and imperial maps, it is inferred that it is Wang Mang's seal.

Wang Mang's new dynasty has very short history, and there are not many records left behind, so there are even fewer cultural relics. If this is really Wang Mang's seal, it would be more valuable than the vernier caliper dug out in later generations.

After discussing the seal for a while, the three little maids came over with hot water tea sets. Wu Yuechan made tea himself. After drinking the tea, Wu Yuechan invited Zhao Qi to go to his bedroom to see the banners made in the charity sale. Half an hour passed, and Zhao Qi was about to say goodbye and leave.

"Wait for a while!" Zhao Qi walked into the yard, and Wu Wenying poked her head out of the window of the study.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Qi rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction.

"It's impolite to come but not to go. I'll play with this black iron seal for a few days, and I won't be in vain. I'll give you something..." After Wu Wenying said that, she handed out a yellow scroll from the window.

"What is this?" Zhao Qi curled his lips and walked over to take the scroll, pulled the silk rope and unfolded it, and a picture of flowers and birds slowly appeared.

At a corner of the pond, half an ancient willow, two orioles playing on the branches, two mandarin ducks in the water, and a loft on the side exposed only one eaves. Through the window, you can see a young woman inside dressing in front of the mirror, and there are two little maids looking out at the window.

The layout of the whole painting is very clever, and the characters in the landscape are also drawn vividly. There are two lines of cursive inscriptions on the upper left. In addition, there is a red seal. A few words hidden in the Dream Window Pavilion were clearly covered by Wu Wenying's itchy hands. Zhao Qi searched for most of the day and finally saw three dim small characters with fly heads in the lower right corner. If he didn't look carefully, he thought it was the soil on the ground.

Li Song's painting, damn it!

When Zhao Qi saw these three words, he couldn't help but tremble his hands.

If you talk about famous painters in the Song Dynasty, those who have a little understanding of it will probably immediately think of the three masters of the Northern Song Dynasty and the four masters of the Southern Song Dynasty. However, as long as you like calligraphy and painting, you will definitely be familiar with Li Song, because this guy has painted many strange paintings, especially a picture of a peddler, which can be called an encyclopedia of understanding the toys of the Song Dynasty. What is most memorable is that this guy has also painted pictures of thirty-six heroes in the Shuibo Liangshan.

"Old man Wu, do you know this Li Song?" Zhao Qi was very surprised.

"I know this. This painting was painted by me after I went to the garden with him more than ten years ago. Later, I threw it in my place and didn't take it back. Later, no one came to ask for it after he passed away, so it became my place. Li Song was a attendant in the painting academy and was very famous. Now he wants to buy a pair of them for at least several hundred guan. I heard that your family is building a house, and then it will be framed and hung in the study, so I will treat it as a gift from me!"

"Hmph, I dare say that I have no money, I still have a few baskets of paintings like this..."

Wu Wenying closed the window with a humming clang.

Zhao Qi:...

"Hehe~" Wu Yuechan covered her mouth, and the three little maids bent down with a smile.
