Xie Fu took the scroll with a slightly surprised expression.
Xiuyun explained at the side: "In order to prevent the guests from being too bored, the master specially brought out the treasures of calligraphy and painting in the house for everyone to enjoy and appreciate."
Xie Fu smiled: "I am a humble man from a poor country. I don't know how to appreciate paintings."
Cui Sanfei smiled and said: "Youdao is a painting within a painting, a dream within a dream. One thought is pure and the other is dirty. If you don't know how to appreciate paintings, you may be able to appreciate them and gain true knowledge and insight."
Xie Fu understood what he was saying. It was about the story of Guanxi Index, but Xiuyun couldn't understand it. He smiled and said, "Master Xie, please taste the first one. I want to hear it." She covered her mouth and snickered.
Xie Fu smiled: "Miss Xiuyun, you want me to make you laugh generously, okay, I will fulfill your wish and give you a good taste."
As he said this, he looked at the scroll and saw that the painting was probably quite old in terms of style, but it was well collected. He said calmly: "It's not signed, so I don't know who painted it."
Xiuyun smiled and said: "The paintings by famous artists all have their signatures and seals. Mr. Xie said this painting is fake."
Xie Fu smiled: "You girl, you are so hard on your hat. I'm blind, but Lord Wang is definitely not blind."
Xiuyun chuckled: "Master, guess which famous artist painted this painting?"
This statement undoubtedly acknowledges that this statement was handed down from generation to generation by a famous artist. Of course, if the calligraphy and painting treasures collected by the prince are fake and he still shows them for people to appreciate, it would be really ridiculous.
Xie Fu said: "I didn't expect Miss Xiuyun to have such vision and see it."
"Oh, my little maid can tell that. My little maid has not only served you, Mr. Xie, but also other gentlemen. I listened and took note of it."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "It turns out that Miss Xiuyun has not only served me, but you are really half-hearted."
As a maid from a royal family, Xiuyun was naturally clever. How could she not hear the hidden meaning of Xie Fu's words and angrily said: "Master, please don't molest me!"
After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that he had made a rude statement while showing his emotions. He secretly spit out a touch of clove on his lips and hurriedly saluted: "My maid was rude just now. Please forgive me, sir."
Xie Fu smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter." His eyes fell on the painting again, and the topic changed: "Then I will make a random guess."
Xiuyun smiled: "If you can guess it, Master..."
When Xie Fu heard this, his eyes fell on Xiuyun again and asked: "What if you guess it?"
Xiuyun put his thumbs together and said with a smile: "If you guess it, I will give you a big compliment, sir."
Xie Fu pretended to be disappointed and said calmly: "Then I don't have any expectations."
Xiuyun was surprised and heard Xie Fu smile and say: "I'm tired of hearing people praise me every day. It's nothing more than passing the autumn wind."
Xiuyun smiled and said: "Oh, the young master wants to ask for some real luck."
Xie Fu asked: "Is it okay?"
Xiuyun smiled and said, "What do you want, Master?"
Fu Xie looked Xiuyun up and down, his gaze made Xiuyun feel a little nervous. She was a maid and the young master was a guest. If she made any excessive demands, she didn't know how to refuse.
Xie Fu said with a smile: "We are destined to meet each other today. I want to have a few words with Miss Xiuyun in person. I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other until we say goodbye. Can I ask for a fragrance to keep as a souvenir?"
Although it was not an excessive request, Xiuyun's pretty face turned red after hearing this.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "I'm just kidding."
Xiuyun didn't answer.
Xie Fu lowered his head to look at the scroll and read it carefully: "Zhan Ziqian?"
Xiuyun covered her mouth and smiled.
"Lu Tanwei?"
Didn't Xie Fujian say again: "Gu Kaizhi?"
Xiuyun smiled: "I didn't expect that, sir, you come from a poor country and I know quite a few famous people. If you keep guessing like this, you will guess it sooner or later."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "To be called a young master by you, I have to have some arty skills. That's all. I don't think I can guess it. Miss Xiuyun, please announce the answer."
But Xiuyun said: "Young Master just said that you have no expectations, so I will encourage you. If Master Xie is lucky enough to guess correctly, Xiuyun will give you this prize." This time they were just joking and joking, without any shame.
"Oh, if there is a lottery, then I will take a closer look."
"Master, please look carefully, you only have one chance."
Cui Sanfei, who was listening quietly on the side, smiled slightly. Real hunters often appear as prey.
Xie Fu pretended to look at it seriously and said lightly: "Miss Xiuyun is ready to speak out and raise her lips."
Xiuyun pursed her lips and said, "I just pursed my lips tightly."
"This painting is the work of Liu Shi."
Xiuyuntan's lips were slightly spread, with a surprised expression. Compared to the three painters Xie Gongzi mentioned before, Liu Shi is not famous, and there are very few Mr. Xie who can guess the author of this painting.
The style of this painting is very different from Liu Shi's original painting style. She was also lucky enough to hear a comment from a young lady, and then she realized that in order to guess the author correctly, she had to first understand the meaning of the painting.
Cui Sanfei saw Xiuyun's expression and knew that Xie Fu had guessed correctly. He mentioned that he had also suspected it from the clues just now, but he was not sure, so he asked: "Master, I would like to hear the details."
Xie Fu said modestly: "I don't dare, then I will just talk nonsense."
"Please see, the pine trunk is twisted and can be supported. The old pine branches are so high that they do not reach the top. The right branch is green and lush, showing the prosperity of life. The left branch is withered, indicating the accumulation of years. The whole painting is connected to the outside world, and it is not alone or closed."
Cui Sanfei nodded: "This is a painting scene."
Xie Fu added: "Man is the spirit of all things, and all things are known to everyone. If you don't know why, you will be ashamed of the spirit. Those who know the way are worthy of the living beings."
Cui Sanfei glanced at the scroll and said in surprise: "This is the meaning of the painting."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Liu Shi lived in a Zen monastery in his later years and discussed Zen and philosophy with Master Yuanming every day. This painting is the realization of the inanimate life of Liu Shi in his later years. This is also the reason why Liu Shi's painting style is very different from his previous paintings.
It is also a collection of Liu Shi’s life insights. I guess this painting is Liu Shi’s
This final work is indeed a masterpiece that will be handed down from generation to generation."
Cui Sanfei nodded: "Gao Jian."
Xiuyun was dumbfounded. The young master's comments were very different from those of the young lady. If he was not knowledgeable, how could he describe the meaning of the painting and even the hidden story behind the painting.
This man is some kind of lowly fellow from a poor country. He is clearly a scholar.
I am also stupid, I can sit in all the seats, but who is a despicable man? I was deceived by him.
Thinking of this, I looked at Fu Xie angrily. I originally thought I was making a fool of him, but he made a big deal out of me.
Xie Fu smiled at Xiuyun and said, "Miss Xiuyun, I don't know if I guessed it right."
When the lottery came, Xiuyun said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Gentleman, for your talent. You really guessed it."
Xie Fu laughed loudly: "Then what are you waiting for? Do you want me to pry your lips open?"
Xiuyun blushed slightly, picked up the wine glass from the water, raised her sleeves to cover other people's eyes, pretended to offer wine, brought her lips close, kissed Fu Xie quietly on the face, and whispered: "You are obviously not from a poor country.
"
Although Xie Fu had no close friends, it was not that no one noticed him.
Zhu Jiuchun noticed him early in the morning. He thought he knew Fu Xie's details better than anyone else here, but he felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart.
From the moment they first met, when they were teased and applauded by their slaves to Zhang Lingluo's sudden appearance, the relationship between the two was actually very close.
It wasn't until the battle at Xianqiao that he showed his extraordinary qualities.
The time interval between them was extremely short, but they showed that they were completely two people.
Zhu Jiuchun knew his details, but he didn't know his depth.
Now he appeared again at the royal family's wedding banquet, and actually competed on the same stage with many young men from famous families.
Zhu Jiuchun couldn't help but ask, why should he?
The old man behind Zhu Jiuchun saw that Zhu Jiuchun's expression was different and leaned forward slightly: "Sir, what's wrong?"
Zhu Jiuchun secretly pointed towards Xie Fu: "Mr. Zhou, look."
The old man was slightly surprised when he saw this: "Although this man's martial arts is mediocre, he is a master of literary arts. In the battle at Xianqiao that day, the martial arts mantra drove away Master Zhengjian, and even caused the four great scholars of the Gu family to be mentally damaged and vomited blood on the spot.
