Pei Shan, who passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen, left a picture of a Qionglin scholar in the capital, then fled the capital and disappeared into the long river of history.
But there is no doubt that his age and his deeds preceded Lu Yunhong and became something that later generations of historians would talk about.
Countless people have said that if Pei Shan is willing to stay in the court, his first assistant may not be Lu Yunhong.
Lu Yunhong, who dominated the three dynasties, may not have such great influence.
But Pei Shan was unruly and unyielding to the darkness and power of officialdom. His departure cast a veil of mystery over his entire life, and even the pictures he drew of Qionglin scholars were preserved to later generations.
It is not so much a picture of scholars in Qionglin as it is a picture of having fun in Qionglin. The scholars in it are sitting or lying down, talking or laughing, all with hypocritical politeness, and their lifelike expressions vividly convey the complacency of the scholars.
The full pride, the comfort after the dust has settled, and the longing for the future of officialdom are all vividly described.
But Pei Shan's paintings actually have a strong sense of irony, which is where Pei Shan became famous in the end. He refused to join the others, cleans himself from the world, and finally gave up the fame and wealth he had obtained, and left in style.
Later, it was said that he went into the mountains to practice Taoism, and others said that he hid in a cave under the cliff of Dunhuang, devoted his life to murals, and studied Buddha statues all his life. Finally, he had an epiphany and walked into the vast yellow sand, ending his mysterious and treacherous life.
These are all compiled unofficial histories and are not trustworthy. However, there are still authors who created works based on Pei Shan and wrote a book called "The End of Bustling is Yellow Sand". The cover was drawn by a famous illustrator. A touch of red floats in the vast yellow sand.
Between heaven and earth, it is like a solitary lamp lit by the blood in your heart. Because the cover is so artistic, Wang Xiu even bought it and read it.
But now, by coincidence, this young man named Pei Shan has come.
Will he be the Pei Shan in history?
Wang Xiu took a deep breath and felt a little nervous for no reason.
In the side hall, a thinly dressed young man looked at the half of his sock exposed and frowned slightly.
If I had known he would have bought a set of clothes first, but... maybe it was just a whim. If I didn't spend that money, I would at least give others a chance to regret it.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a gentle voice came from the door: "What are you doing here?"
Pei Shan stood up quickly, and what he saw was a handsome man with bright eyebrows and a face like a crown jewel. At this time, he was wearing a silver double-breasted cloak with embroidered bamboo patterns, and there seemed to be a woman hidden behind him.
.
The woman hugged his waist, and her forehead seemed to be reluctantly leaning on his back, as if she was coquettishly acting coquettishly. In this way, she should be his wife.
In the Lu family, there is only one man who is of the same age as him.
Lu Yunhong, the world-famous number one scholar three years ago!
Lu Yunhong's eyes dimmed slightly when he saw the young man. He turned out to be Pei Shan, which he didn't expect.
Wang Xiu said from behind him: "Did you see it?"
Lu Yunhong said truthfully: "I saw it."
Wang Xiu asked: "What is he doing?"
Lu Yunhong said: "He is looking at us."
"Ah?" Wang Xiu quickly poked his head out and saw Pei Shan standing awkwardly, looking up at them.
Wang Xiu suddenly felt embarrassed, reached out and punched Lu Yunhong, and said unhappily: "Go and accompany Zhou Xu."
Lu Yunhong didn't know why she was angry, so he smiled and said, "Zhou Xu is gone. I came here specially to accompany you to meet your guests."
Wang Xiu hummed, but did not refute.
Pei Shan and Lu Yunhong!
The regrets that future generations of historians will always have in their hearts may not exist with her.
Lu Yunhong looked at Wang Xiu's back and his heart sank.
It turned out that not only he knew about Pei Shan, but she also knew about it.
Then yesterday...
Lu Yunhong just wondered if Wang Xiu knew it was Pei Shan yesterday.
At this time, he heard Wang Xiu's inner voice: If I had known that he was Pei Shan yesterday, I would have definitely given him two thousand taels.
Woo hoo hoo, never mind, I must keep Pei Shan's paintings properly and give them to my children as heirlooms in the future.
Lu Yunhong: "..."
A few days ago, I don’t know who praised him for his good painting, and also asked for beautiful pictures.
Oh, woman!
Wang Xiu walked in, and Pei Shan was slightly stunned when he saw her pretty face.
She is not...a young lady from the Lu family.
She is Wang Xiu, the wife of Lu Yunhong.
No wonder he was so generous, he should have thought of it a long time ago.
Pei Shan bowed and saluted, pointed at the scroll and said, "I have sent all the paintings that Madam bought. You can check them out."
Wang Xiu looked at the rolled paintings and said with a smile: "Don't worry. You must have not had breakfast yet if you come so early. Eat first."
Pei Shan quickly shook his head and said: "No, madam, take a look. If there is no problem, I will go back first."
Wang Xiudao: "How can that be done? You have come all the way to deliver the paintings, and you have to eat before leaving anyway."
As he said that, he looked at Lu Yunhong and said, "Go to the kitchen and ask them to send two bowls of noodles."
Lu Yunhong pointed at himself: "Me?"
Wang Xiu frowned: "Who are you if not you? Go quickly!"
Lu Yunhong: "..."
hehe!
Pei Shan quickly said: "No need, really no need, I've eaten."
Then his stomach growled uncooperatively twice, and he stood in embarrassment, feeling extremely embarrassed for a moment.
When Wang Xiu saw this, he quickly said: "Why don't you go to eat this meal during the Chinese New Year? Just eat it with peace of mind and go back warm, so I can feel more at ease."
Pei Shan was silent and nodded slowly.
Wang Xiu looked at his shy look and thought he was very interesting.
She immediately said: "I haven't asked yet, which college do you study in?"
Pei Shan replied: "I used to attend Xia's private school, but after my parents passed away, I dropped out of school. Now I study at home."
Guaiguai, you are so good at self-study, you are simply a genius!
"Xia Family Private School, are you from Xia Family Village?"
Pei Shan shook his head: "No, my grandfather's family is from Xiajia Village, and my family is from Xihou Village."
Xihou Village was later renamed Anzhen.
Yes, he is Pei Shan.
"land……"
Wang Xiu turned around, wanting to share her excitement with Lu Yunhong.
As a result, she saw the empty door and suddenly remembered that Lu Yunhong had been ordered to the kitchen by her.
Forget it, she can do it herself!
Wang Xiu immediately asked: "Then have you considered finding another teacher and re-entering school?"
Pei Shan thought that he could not make ends meet before, but now that he had money, he could naturally find a private school, so he nodded.
When Wang Xiu saw this, he thought he had a candidate as a teacher, but was secretly disappointed.
However, she still wanted to fight for it again and said: "Our Lu family is going to build an academy. Construction will start after the Lantern Festival. If you don't mind it then, why not come to our academy to study."
The Lu family wanted to build an academy and establish an official school in Wuxi. How could Pei Shan not know such big news?
He just didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to him.
He immediately said: "If the teacher is willing to accept it then, I will come."
Wang Xiu was overjoyed and said with sparkling eyes: "Of course I will, I will definitely do it. You are so powerful. If they don't agree, I will be the first to disagree."
"What do you disagree with?" Lu Yunhong came in with two bowls of noodles.
Wang Xiu was surprised when they saw each other: "So fast?"
Lu Yunhong said: "The kitchen knew there were guests coming, so it prepared it early."
Wang Xiu quickly stood up and brought it to Pei Shan.
Pei Shan was flattered and quickly stood up to pick it up. Their hands almost touched.
Lu Yunhong's eyes almost burst into flames, especially when he saw Wang Xiu handing Pei Shan the chopsticks in such a stupid way, he smiled softly and said, "Axiu..."
Wang Xiu didn't hear his dangerous voice, so he turned around and picked up the remaining bowl, ready to eat.
But when he took a bite, he found that it was Lu Yunhong's hand.
"What are you doing?" Wang Xiu raised his head and looked at Lu Yunhong stupidly.
Is this guy crazy? Give her his fingers to eat!
Lu Yunhong heard her thoughts, sneered coldly, and pushed her away with his face raised.
"I will accompany the guest. You can go back."
Wang Xiu: "..."
This is simply a bolt from the blue, okay, she found this potential stock first, why should she let Lu Yunhong win over it?
Besides, she still hopes that if she breaks up with Lu Yunhong in the future, there will still be a big boss to hug her, so how can she give up so easily?
Wang Xiu clenched his fist, looked at the noodles picked up by Lu Yunhong, and leaned over to take a bite.
Lu Yunhong looked at her, dumbfounded.
What are you looking at? The noodles are for me to eat and the people are for me to accompany you. It has nothing to do with you!
Wang Xiu also looked at him, and the arrogant look in her eyes combined with her inner voice was absolutely stunning.
The corners of Lu Yunhong's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt like he was jealous!!
This woman doesn't even know what he's angry about, it's so ridiculous!
At the same time, Pei Shan held his chopsticks and stared at the two of them dumbfounded.
Is he eating this side?
Or should we push it over and let the two of them eat a bowl each?
