Chapter 55: Xiajun Prefecture (7)

In the living room of Junzhou County Prince's Mansion, Xiang Zhonghui asked his servants to bring fruit and fragrant tea, and divided the gifts of the guests and hosts to entertain Liu Yixuan and Ling'er. All the hospitality was done, and Xiang Zhonghui ordered his servants to retreat and planned to have a good chat with Liu Yixuan about this "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

"Just just now, the young master said that he was a student in the Imperial Academy, but he didn't know the young master's name?" The prince of Junzhou read countless people. Seeing that he was a white-faced scholar, he had already expected that he was a descendant of the official in the capital.

"The younger generation's surname is Liu and his name is Yixuan. The two words "Shaoxu" are the font size of the younger generation."

"Oh, what's the mansion of Mr. Liu?"

"This...haha, I'm not to hide it. This time, my younger generation came to Junzhou privately, and my father didn't know it, so... I don't need to tell Qiansui about my father's name." Liu Yixuan left Beijing privately, and his father did not know that Xiang Zhonghui was apart from the vassal state, and the ministers in the court were not allowed to make friends with foreign vassal kings. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Liu Yixuan still did not tell his identity.

"Since that's the case, I won't ask more questions." Xiang Zhonghui saw that Liu Yixuan refused to reveal it and knew his concerns, so he didn't ask more questions. He picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Cough cough..." Xiang Zhonghui coughed twice, and finally began to admit the fact that the painting was in his house.

"I just heard that the young master was coming to my mansion to appreciate the paintings. I was not very happy for a moment, so I asked my master not to be surprised. The "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was indeed in my hand. When the Supreme Emperor asked me to discuss matters in the palace, I was fortunate to see this painting in the imperial study. At that time, I saw that there were many people on this scroll, which appeared vividly, and condensed the prosperous scenery of the capital to these few feet of silk. I was sincerely admiring, and I thought that this painting must be a masterpiece in the painting that has never been seen in the ages."

"Old Qiansui is worthy of being a master of calligraphy and painting. He is indeed very sharp-eyed, but I wonder why the Supreme Emperor gave this painting to Qiansui again?"

"I did appreciate this painting at that time, but the Supreme Emperor did not comment too much. I knew that the emperor had lived in the palace for a long time and did not often visit the people. Perhaps the scenery in the painting was not in line with his wishes, so I did not make a judgment. At that time, I was summoned to the palace and escorted Hua Shigang to the capital to build a Jinming villa for the Supreme Emperor. Seeing that I was able to do my job well, the emperor wanted to reward me with some gold and silver, but when I saw that I had a special liking for this painting, I gave this "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" to the old minister."

"Oh, so that's it. I came here this time just to see the style of this painting. I would like to give you a grace to fulfill my wish!" Liu Yixuan hurriedly stood up and bowed, hoping to see the painting in the Northern Song Dynasty.

"No rush to appreciate the paintings. It's not too late to see it when I figure out a few issues!"

After hearing this, Liu Yixuan cursed in his heart: "What else do you want to ask me? You don't have to worry, I'm anxious. I came to the Song Dynasty after peeking at this painting. If I see this original painting again, wouldn't I be able to return to Beijing? I have been in the Northern Song Dynasty for more than half a year. I wonder how worried my parents are!" He prayed silently in his heart: "God, just let me go back and let me explain this to my parents. As long as they don't worry about me, I promise I will come back!"

"Nephew Liu Xian? Nephew Liu Xian? Do you understand my question?" Xiang Zhonghui saw Liu Yixuan dazed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Problem? What's the problem?" Liu Yixuan realized that he was just staring blankly and didn't hear Xiang Zhonghui's question at all.

"I'm asking, when the Emperor gave me this painting, there was no one else present, so how did you know about it?"

"This... I also heard from my friends in the palace." Liu Yixuan said as he glanced at Ling'er sitting next to him. Ling'er naturally understood what he meant and smiled knowingly.

"Friends in the palace?" Xiang Zhonghui became more and more suspicious of Liu Yixuan's identity. He actually had contact with the people in the palace. Could it be that he was also a royal relative?

"Yes, that person was the most beloved person of the Supreme Emperor. He was also in the imperial study at that time. Maybe Qiansui didn't see him."

"Oh, this is also possible. OK, let me ask you again, today you want to see the style of this painting. It can be seen that you have never seen this painting before. How could you say that there are any incomplete things in this painting just now when I was expelling guests?"

"There is indeed a complete book in this painting?" Liu Yixuan just came to the Song Dynasty and saw the incomplete book in the warehouse of the Palace Museum. Because the academic community had controversy over the mystery of incomplete book, he did not know that the original book was not a complete book in the Northern Song Dynasty. When he heard Xiang Zhonghui's question, he immediately confirmed that the incomplete book in the painting was not a damage from the collectors of his descendants, but had already appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty.

"What? You don't know the incompleteness of this painting?" Xiang Zhonghui became even more confused by his sudden question. "I just heard you say that I have to guard this incompleteness and regret for life before leaving you behind. You are not really going to play with me, right?"

"How dare you! But you won't understand the reason for this for a while. To be honest, I have indeed seen this painting, but it is not in the past, nor in the present, but in the future, nine hundred years later!"

The old man was already surrounded by clouds and mist. After hearing what he said, he felt that his mind was not enough. He really couldn't understand what he had seen him nine hundred years later?

Xiang Zhonghui frowned and raised two bent eyebrows. He couldn't understand what he was saying at all. He said, "Nine hundred years later? This is a strange story. You see, I'm old, so I'll make up some lies to fool me! Since you are unwilling to tell the truth, there is no need to talk to you anymore!" He quickly got up, planning to call my family back to continue the previous episode of seeing off the guests.

"Hey hey, Qiansui, don't do this!" Liu Yixuan hurriedly came up to stop him.

"Hmph, if you really want to see that painting in my house, you must first let me figure out the purpose of the trip. If you are not open and honest, how can I trust you!"

Liu Yixuan thought, what the old man said was also reasonable. After all, this is someone else's collection. Since he regards it as a treasure, he will definitely not show it to others easily, but he doesn't know how to explain it to him. He thought to himself: "I want to be open and honest to you, but why should I tell you? Could it be that I have to tutor you on history and physics? Oh, this is really hard. Einstein didn't understand the issue of time and space. How could you tell me to you? There is no way, I can only use my secret skills and continue to make up random things!"

"This... OK, I'll tell you clearly! In fact, I'm really destined to be with this painting. After my friend told me about the news about this painting that day, I thought about it day and night, and I didn't think about it all day, just wanted to see the style of this painting. Suddenly one day, I had a strange dream!" Liu Yixuan loudened his voice, thinking that just being righteous would make the lie come true.

"What kind of dream?" Xiang Zhonghui asked him quickly.
