On the fourth day of the eighth month, there are still five days before the hospital exam, Xu Jin got up early in the morning and washed up, and practiced morning and read as usual.

After breakfast, Xu Jin went out with the Fei brothers and went to the governor's yamen to visit Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi. Although the high-flying and domineering Prince Ning unexpectedly did not shout and kill, Xu Jin still felt that it was safer to visit Governor Sun first.

The layout of Nanchang City is similar to that of Shangrao County, and almost all the official institutions are concentrated in the north of the city, sitting in the north and facing the south...... A street of the official office was formed, and the Ningwang Mansion was in the south of the city, with a wide area, and occupied several nearby streets.

Xu Jin and the Fei brothers came to the governor's yamen to pay their respects, but were told that Sun Sui was not in Nanchang City, but went to inspect Jiangfang.

The three of them couldn't help but be disappointed, and when they were about to leave, they heard a gong sound from the street, but they saw a team of people and horses appear on the street, estimated to be nearly 10,000 people, banners were displayed, swords and guns were everywhere, armor was shining, and there were even tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts to open the way, and the pomp and circumstance were not ordinarily small.

The people on the street all hid in the streets and alleys with trepidation, and Xu Jin and the others also retreated to the stone lion outside the governor's yamen.

Fei Maoxian said with a cold face: "Look at this posture, it should be that Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, is out on patrol." ”

By this time, the group had already arrived, and two tigers chained around their necks were driven to the front of the group, along with two leopards and elephants, with a terrifying voice.

Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly speak, this pomp and circumstance may not be much better than the emperor's patrol, right? He is worthy of being the soil emperor of Jiangxi!

At this time, those brightly armored royal guards continued to pass by, followed by a carriage pulled by six horses, the bright yellow umbrella cover on the carriage was particularly conspicuous, and under the umbrella sat a slightly fat, middle-aged man of about forty years old, sitting upright with his head upright, looking at all beings.

Xu Jin's heart moved, this is probably Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, who is somewhat similar to the prince of Ning Wang, but his eyes are a little swollen, and he sits upright, staring at his eyes and pretending to be majestic, and his eyes are even more convex.

The long procession walked for nearly half of the time before it completely passed through and headed towards the north gate of the city.

"How can this be reasonable, King Ning is too arrogant, this thief is simply lawless, Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!" Fei Maoxian said indignantly.

Fei Maoxian hurriedly said: "Second brother speak carefully. ”

Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao with a tiger and leopard to open the way, Ming yellow umbrella cover, and six horse-drawn cars are obviously over-controlled, the so-called Son of Heaven driving six, Qin and Han dynasties only the Son of Heaven can use six horses-drawn, although the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties rarely take the carriage, are sitting in sixteen sedan chairs, but "the Son of Heaven driving six" is an ancient system, the vassal kings and ministers do not dare to overstep, and the King of Ning is arrogant to ride a six-horse-drawn car to swagger through the city.

Xu Jin couldn't help but ask, "King Ning often goes out on patrol like this?" ”

Fei Maoxian shook his head and said: "It's not like this often, looking at the bows and crossbows and firearms of those palace guards are complete, it is estimated that they are out of the city for autumn hunting, I heard that King Ning will lead the three guards of the palace out of the city for autumn hunting every August." ”

Fei Mao said coldly: "I think hunting is just an excuse, and training is the truth." ”

Xu Jin felt inexplicably relaxed, King Ning left Nanchang City with the palace guards to hunt (practice), not to mention ten days and half a month, then he would leave after the college exam.

Xu Jin and the others returned to the vicinity of the Gaosheng Inn, just when they saw a group of people pointing around the street, and when they got closer, they found a person lying on the street, covered in alcohol, probably drunk, and a bunch of vomit next to him.

"Tang Ziwei!" Fei Maozhong blurted out.

The drunk man lying on the ground was Tang Bohu, his hair and clothes were wet with dew, it is estimated that he had been lying here for a night, fortunately it is only early autumn, Jiangxi is located in the south, the weather is not cold, if it is winter, even if this guy does not freeze to death, I am afraid he will have a serious illness.

Xu Jin stepped forward and bent down to pick up the crumpled roll of rice paper from Tang Bohu's side, slowly opened it and looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out: "Chunshan Companion Picture!" ”

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong came up to watch when they heard the words, and their eyes lit up, and they praised: "Good painting!" ”

This is an all-ink landscape painting, but see the painting in the winding fence, the miscellaneous trees blooming, the spring mountains smiling, the mountains are bright and undulating, several old people sit beside the mountain stream, giving people a sense of sun and sun warmth, and there is a poem on the left side of this painting:

There are two or three couples in Chunshan, and they don't get tired of looking for flowers with wine, but they are good at the spring head and the pond is on the stone, and the soft Sha can sit quietly and dust-free.

This is one of Tang Bohu's few paintings that have been handed down to later generations, "Spring Mountain Companion Picture", which is collected in the Shanghai Museum, Xu Jin saw the painting with his own eyes when he visited in his previous life, and the valuation of this thing is not less than 10 million level, and now it is crumpled and thrown on the ground!

Xu Jin looked weird, most of Tang Bohu's paintings handed down to later generations are on silk, and there are very few on paper, because the paper is difficult to preserve for a long time, this "Spring Mountain Companion Picture" is on paper, so it is very rare, if you don't encounter it yourself today, will this painting be disposed of as garbage by sweeping the street?

Fei Maoxian praised sincerely: "Tang Ziwei is afraid of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and it is really not in vain. ”

Xu Jin instructed Erniu to carry Tang Bohu back to the inn to clean and sober up, and as for the "Spring Mountain Companion Picture", he rolled it up with peace of mind and prepared to take it for mounting and collecting, which should be the reward for "righteousness" to help.

The Fei brothers only thought that Xu Jin was warm-hearted, but they didn't know that Xu fell in love with Tang Bohu's painting.

"Xu Gongzi!"

As soon as Xu Jin entered the lobby of the inn, the shopkeeper of the Gaosheng Inn greeted him, handed over a pink invitation, and said with a smile: "Master Xu, someone sent you an invitation, and it happened that you were not there, so I asked the contemptible person to hand it over." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't know anyone else in Nanchang City except Sun Sui and Xu Kui, not to mention that it was impossible to invite himself as Sun Sui and Xu Kui, just send someone to pass the word if there was something.

Xu Jin took the invitation from the shopkeeper with ambiguous eyes, opened it casually, and the Fei brothers were obviously also curious about who gave Xu Jin an invitation, and they all came over to watch.

The handwriting of this poster is beautiful, obviously from the hands of women, the content of the post is as follows: Autumn is sassy, the sky is high and the clouds are light, yesterday in the vine king pavilion to hear the son's fairy song wonderful words, the slave family was shocked by the heavens, so the cheeky invite, today Shen Shi in the courtyard to sweep the couch waiting, hope that Xu Gongzi appreciates the face, so that the slave family has to listen to the teachings of the son, cut it! Slave Yuxue worship!

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, it turned out to be an invitation sent by Xiao Huakui, and he also used three words "cut" in a row to express his eagerness to see him, which made people reverie!

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong glanced at each other, and the latter smiled ambiguously: "Ziqian, it seems that everyone Xiao was convinced by the twists and turns of your words yesterday, and took the initiative to invite you to talk about words and songs. ”

"Since the people are so envious, you can take the invitation to meet everyone tonight!"

Xu Jin smiled disapprehantly, and casually stuffed this invitation into Fei Maozhong's arms, seeing that he was about to take the college exam, it was better to review his homework if he had time, not to mention that Xu Jin had no interest in the so-called Oiran, and it was even more free to talk about words and songs, and people who couldn't even recognize the beat of the scale went to discuss music with other people's professionals? Simplicity is self-defeating.

Fei Maozhong quipped: "Ziqian, I want to go, but Xiao everyone invited you, if you don't go tonight, won't it hurt Xiao everyone's heart?" ”

"What's my business? Whoever loves to go, who goes! Xu Jin waved his hand and walked straight to the room.

Fei Maoxian and Fei Maoshou looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but it was not surprising, their third sister was no worse than Xiao Yuxue, and they were still everyone's best girls, abandoning the reserve of their daughter's family, and even chasing after their reputations, they were all ruthlessly rejected by this guy, so Xu Jin refused Xiao Huakui's invitation, and the two were not surprised at all.

"Brother Xie, keep this post for your brother-in-law!" Fei Maozhong handed the pink invitation to Xie Erjian next to him.

Xie Erjian lazily took it in his arms and said, "Just ready to go to the toilet!" With that, he walked straight away.

The Fei brothers couldn't help but be speechless, if everyone Xiao knew that their invitation was used as straw paper, I am afraid they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
