Chapter 174: Jin Mingchi’s competition for the map (first update)

For several days, it was covered with clouds and drizzle.

The streets of Kaifeng City became particularly muddy in the drizzle. There is no way, except for several main roads such as Yu Street, most of the streets in Kaifeng are not very flat. For example, the famous Panlou East Street looks rugged and narrow for various reasons, and the ground is even more uneven, which obviously cannot match its reputation...

This is Tokyo!

It was far from the magnificent atmosphere of the eastern capital Luoyang and the western capital Chang'an, which was more of a slender and even messy graceful manner.

Fortunately, the rain stopped at the fourth day of August.

So on the day of the fifth day of August, the sun that had not been seen for a long time finally showed its head and shone the sunshine on Kaifeng City again.

Early in the morning, outside Guanyin Lane became lively.

Several large carts arrived one after another, and Yan Nu sat on the ox cart, and drove with a smile.

Although it was not a new residence to be moved, after the former residence was restored, it was like a new residence.

When Yan Nu first saw her new home when she was completed, she burst into tears. This is her home. From then on, she will live here, do housework for Brother Xiao Yi and have a son for Brother Xiao Yi... How can this not make her feel happy?

Sitting in the car, Yan Nu still felt a dreamy feeling.

After Yu Yin was thrown by Li Bao once, she was completely reborn, as if she had changed her body, which made her almost unable to recognize her.

He even thought that Brother Xiao Yi was possessed by a ghost.

However, as time goes by, this idea gradually faded, and now it has disappeared.

The ox cart stopped at the entrance of Guanyin Alley, and Yan Nu jumped out of the car. Standing at the entrance of the alley, looking at the snow-white walls and the towering door lintel, for some reason, tears fell down, and the whole person was as if he had eaten.

"Sister Jiuer, we're going home!"

Yu Yin walked to Yan Nu with Dark Gold.

Looking at the courtyard rising from the ground deep in the alley, I suddenly felt a little inexplicable feeling in my heart.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a firecracker sound coming from the yard.

I saw fires flashing, firecrackers, and red butterflies flying all over the sky...

It's Lingwei!

Ling Zhen made many firecrackers for Yu Yin, and the sound of firecrackers also meant that life was booming after moving into the new home. Yan Nu and Yu Yin looked at each other and smiled at each other. The two held hands and walked into the alley. Behind them, Gao Chong and others cheered and shouted, and it felt like a wedding in later generations, blessing Yu Yin and his wife.

Just make it, it’s a wedding!

Yu Yin took a deep breath, took Yan Nu's hand, and stepped into the courtyard gate.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The furniture had been installed, so Yu Yin and Yan Nu lived on the two-story building in the middle.

An Daoquan lives in the wing room on the left, and the two wing rooms on the right are for the future slaves and servants.

On the right side, there is a stable.

The construction was very careful, and the fine materials were prepared in the manger for consumption. In the left corner, there was a small house, which was An Daoquan's alchemy house. You Tie had already built the alchemy furnace according to Yu Yin's requirements and sent it into the alchemy house in advance. Under the guidance of An Daoquan, the security was properly protected. From today on, this is An Daoquan's territory.

The evening drum and morning bell came from Guanyin Courtyard, as if congratulating Yu Yin's joy of moving home.

The furniture had been installed long ago. Yu Yin and Yan Nu stood on the second floor, watching the busy people in the courtyard. Huang Xiaoqi and a group of people placed banquet tables along the side of Guanyin Lane. Wang Minqiu's wife led a group of women to clean the courtyard. She would open a flowing table here later and invite the neighbors of Guanyin Lane.

In addition, there are some close friends who want to congratulate you, and you must set up tables in the yard.

Moving into a new home is definitely a very important thing for people of this era. After Yu Yin and Yan Nu discussed it, they simply ordered dozens of tables of flowing tables in Panlou, so as to save the trouble of their own family. After the table setting was completed, Panlou brought the prepared banquet and opened next to the table, which was very lively.

And at this time, the guests also began to arrive.

The first person to congratulate was Chen Dong.

Without bringing any gifts, he walked into the yard and bowed to Yu Yin to congratulate him repeatedly. His smile was extremely bright.

"How can Xiao Yi not come to congratulate him when he builds a new house?"

Yu Yin immediately smiled and stepped forward and punched Chen Dong, "Shaoyang came too early."

The two of them are old acquaintances, so they have no trouble. Yu Yin also knew that Chen Dong's family was not well off. Although he was studying in the Imperial Academy, his life was not easy. Therefore, Yu Yin did not expect this guy to come with a gift. After a few greetings with him, his eyes crossed Chen Dong's shoulders, but fell on the man standing behind Chen Dong.

"This one is..."

Yu Yin couldn't help but wonder.

The man who came with Chen Dong looked about 40 years old and had a good appearance, but his body was a little thin.

Seeing Yu Yin asking, Chen Dong hurriedly introduced: "Xiao Yi, the righteous way is my friend, and he is now sent to the Hanlin Academy of Painting. Last year, he made a picture, which was loved by the officials, and wrote the 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'. After that, he returned home to visit relatives and came back two days ago and temporarily lived with me. Today, Xiao Yi entered his new residence and brought him with him..."

Although Chen Dong did not introduce the man's name, the five words "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" echoed Yu Yin and made him feel cold and blurted out: "Isn't it Zhang Zeduan?"

The man was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly bowed: "I am Zhang Zeduan, how can Xiao Yi know my name?"

Chen Dong also asked in confusion: "Yes, doesn't Xiao Yi recognize the right way?"

How can you not recognize it?

Yu Yin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and a serious look appeared on his face.

In later generations, when it comes to the Qingming River Map, it can be said that women and children know it. Yu Yin had long admired his name in his previous life, but he had never seen his true face. There is no way for anyone to let this be a national treasure? It is definitely not the people who can contact Yu Yin in his previous life. Although many pictures were circulated on the market, they were not considered the real one. Now when you meet the painter of the Qingming River Map, how can Yu Yin not feel it?

"Since ancient qin paintings have been elegant, how can I not know...uh, the name of Brother Zhengdao?"

The implication is that everyone is doing elegant affairs, so I have heard of your name, which is not surprising.

Zhang Zeduan immediately showed a sudden look.

"A few days ago, Dalang told me that he wanted to make some portraits in the Song Dynasty Weekly.

It just so happened that Brother Zhengdao lived with me, so he invited him to be a painter. Haha, Zhengdao didn’t know anything. The Song Dynasty Weekly was originally Xiao Yi’s idea. Xiao Yi was responsible for your and my wages, so he brought you here."

Zhang Zeduan is an old-fashioned person.

After completing the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", he resigned from the Hanlin Academy of Painting for some reason and left Kaifeng. However, when he came back, his original position had been replaced, and the Academy of Painting could not arrange it for him for a while. Even his original residence was occupied, which made Zhang Zeduan feel embarrassed and could only temporarily live in Chen Dong's residence.

But the problem is, Chen Dong's side is too small.

One bed and one person sleeps sloppyly. If two people sleep, they will not be able to sleep at all.

A few days ago, the weather was hot and I could sleep on the ground temporarily. But seeing that it was already mid-autumn, it was a bit unsuitable to sleep on the ground. Zhang Zeduan was famous in later generations, but now he is just a painter. It is amazing that he is a senior painter, but he has been in the Hanlin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, and has no income except for his meager salary.

"Xiao Yi, discuss something with you."

Zhang Zeduan sat behind Zhuo with some restraint, looking at the table full of delicious food, couldn't help swallowing.

Chen Dong pulled Yu Yin to the side and whispered: "Brother Zhengdao lives on my side, which is really inconvenient... You also know that the place there is small and cannot accommodate two people. Moreover, the environment is not good, and Brother Zhengdao is a very quiet person, so he is a little troublesome. I came a while ago and saw that your new home seemed to have an empty house..."

"You mean..."

Yu Yin immediately understood what Chen Dong meant.

He brought Zhang Zeduan, afraid that it was because of this.

"There is a house in my own house, and the room next to Uncle An is still empty.

I just don’t know if Brother Zhengdao can live in the habit... If he wants to, how could his family refuse? But there is one thing that needs to be explained. I am so quiet and don’t like it too much fun. Brother Zhengdao can live in, but he can’t bring people."

When Chen Dong heard this, he immediately smiled.

"Don't worry, the righteous path is in Kaifeng Prefecture and has no friends at all.

Just explain the words to him clearly, and you will never disturb Xiao Yi's quietness... But, Su Jin... you also know that if he has money, he will not be crowded with me. Can you give me some gratitude first and wait until he finds a job?"

Zhang Zeduan may not be considered a famous minister, but in Yu Yin's opinion, he is indeed an unquestionable master-level painter.

"How can Shaoyang say this? Isn't it possible for me to lose the rental money?"

"Hey, friends are friends, things still have to be clear..." Chen Dong said, then turned around and walked to Zhang Zeduan. After a few whispers, Zhang Zeduan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, grabbed Chen Dong who was about to leave, and handed him a package with him. Then, he followed Chen Dong to Yu Yin and bowed.

"Xiao Yi's kindness in taking in is so grateful to him.

However, Shaoyang just said that if this friend is a friend, the matter should be explained clearly. Now that his family is penniless, the only thing worth some money is the "Kimmingchi Fighting Map" written by Jin Mingchi when he first arrived in Tokyo. If Xiao Yi agrees, he will temporarily leave it here. If his family has a ministry and then redeem it with the money, I don't know if it is OK?"

Jin Mingchi competes for the chart?

Yu Yin couldn't help but be shocked.

This is one of the three paintings that Zhang Zeduan has few remaining in later generations. Although it is not as valuable as a work on the Qingming River Map, it is no less valuable than a work on the Qingming River Map. Does he actually want to place this painting in my hands?

Yu Yin couldn't help swallowing, and suddenly said, "I wonder if my brother can care, let Xiao Yi appreciate it?"

"This, Xiao Yi looks like that."

The three of them walked into the main hall of the building, and Yan Nu was tidying up the hall with others.

After Yu Yin introduced him, Yan Nu quickly went to the second floor.

The three of them unfolded the "Jin Mingchi Battle Map" in the hall. Yu Yin kept breathing and opened her eyes wide...
