Chapter 320: Exactly the same

"I don't know."

"Yes."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and it was Song Guichen who answered "I don't know". Seeing that Du Qingshan said "yes" with such certainty, Song Guichen looked at him in puzzlement: "So sure?"

"I just saw him in front of the Jiying Hall, and he is one of the 230 six people." Du Qingshan is still confident in his memory.

"I see."

Back in Liren Lane, Song Guichen remembered Lin Can's picture of flying immortals, and decided to find it to appreciate it carefully.

After all, Lin Can's great strides today really opened her eyes, and she also felt that his paintings should be kept in a good collection, and maybe they can be sold for a good price.

This is a picture of flying immortals in Dunhuang. The fairy in the painting is stepping on colorful clouds, holding hibiscus in her hands, floating upwards with a swaying expression. There are also a few poems written in the upper left corner of the painting, which are poems praising fairies by Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. :
"Bringing hibiscus in the plain hand, the imaginary steps are too clear. The neon clothes drag the wide belt, and float up to the sky."

Song Guichen looked at it for a long time, and felt that this painting was good enough, but it was not enough compared to Master's painting.

Not to mention selling it for money, I'm afraid it will be given away to others, even those who know how to paint.

But these words are well written.

Shaking his head and laughing, he was about to put away the painting, but he heard someone knocking on the door, and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me." Du Qingshan rushed in like a monkey, holding a jar of wine, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Gu specially asked someone to bring Shaoxing rice wine from Hangzhou. Tomorrow we will eat 'Yuanyu Huaizhu' how?"

Song Guichen glanced at Du Qingshan.

He deliberately mentioned this, talking about the fact that she used yuan fish instead of river mussels to cook for Wang Qinruo when she was in Shocui Tower.

"That depends on whether I like it or not." Song Guichen took the rice wine and lifted the lid, and the rich aroma of the wine came out. It was the smell of his hometown, familiar and sweet.

Du Qingshan smiled: "I know you like this Nanjiu the most."

When he came to the table, his eyes were attracted by the painting of flying immortals on the table, he subconsciously walked in to take a closer look, and raised his thick eyebrows: "Huh, this painting?"

"Oh, it was given by Lin Can a few days ago." Song Guichen poured a small glass of Nanjiu and took a sip before casually replying.

Hearing this, Du Qingshan said to himself: "So, this was painted by Lin Can, and the words on it were also written by him?"

"What's so strange?" Song Guichen walked over, "The calligraphy is really good, but the painting is too imitative. There is too much craftsmanship but the spirit is lost. It can only be regarded as the top grade."

Du Qingshan looked at Song Guichen's comments with a smile. After all, she was Lin Hermit's apprentice. She had seen countless high-quality paintings, and the one in front of her couldn't catch her eyes.

He also thought, that Lin Can gave away the painting when he saw Xiaochen for the first time, he was so angry!

"This painting is not surprising, but this word..." Du Qingshan put away the little jealousy in his heart, and said seriously, "This word is really similar to the words on Ren Yi's scroll."

He had personally copied Ren Yi's handwriting, and he was extremely familiar with this handwriting.

Hearing what he said, Song Guichen couldn't help but take a closer look at the painting: "Looking at it this way, it seems that they are indeed very similar."

"You can't say they are similar, they are exactly the same." Du Qingshan said with certainty.

"But didn't Dean Yang say that only Prince Zhan Shilinte could write this word?"

"Can't I do it too?" Du Qingshan raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Guichen with a half-smile, quite proud.

Song Guichen: ...

"Besides, Lin Can is the grandson of Lin Te, if he wants to copy his grandfather's handwriting, it will not be difficult." The more Du Qingshan thinks about it, the more reasonable he feels, "Could it be that Lin Can wrote the two copies of Ren Yi's papers? "

"The more you talk, the more you'll get lost." Song Guichen laughed, "Lin Can himself also participated in Chunwei, how can he answer the questions for Ren Yi?"

Du Qingshan thought for a while: "You're right, but this matter is very strange, Xiaochen, you must keep this painting well."

Seeing his serious face, Song Guichen nodded: "Okay, listen to you."

a few days later.

Gu Yi and Du Qingshan entered the palace with the father-in-law who came to congratulate him early in the morning, which meant that they both got the top ten in the palace examination.

Song Guichen and the others were naturally overjoyed. It was expected that Gu Yi could get in the top ten in the palace examination. Even Du Qingshan was called into the palace, which was really unexpected to Song Guichen.

Ziying and Gu Xingzhi didn't even go to the Wanjuantang, Baba'er was at home waiting for the news from the palace.

As usual, the examiner will select the top ten from all the examination papers in the palace examination and present them to the emperor. The emperor will appoint the first, second, and third places in the first, second, and third places, that is, the number one scholar, second place, and Tanhua.

Now that Gu Yi and Du Qingshan have both entered the palace, no matter how bad they are, they are also in the top ten of this palace examination, how can everyone be unhappy.

The steward of the Gu residence sent by Mrs. Gu was also beaming. Ever since Gu Yi followed the people in the palace, he had been standing at the gate of the courtyard with his neck raised and looking around.

He came this time, one is to send some flavors of his hometown to a few children, so as to relieve Mrs. Gu's longing, and second, he has calculated the date, and when the results of the palace examination are out, he can directly send them to Mrs. Gu Ti Xing in Hangzhou. go.

Song Guichen saw that he had his hands in his hands, his expression was anxious, and everyone looked ready, so he went to the kitchen to make several snacks, and told everyone to be calm and wait quietly.

"Sister Song, I'm obviously not going to face the saint, so why am I so nervous." Ziying took a piece of snack, "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless my third brother and brother Du, the champion and the champion, the champion and the champion."

Song Guichen let out a chuckle: "The Bodhisattva is too busy, all the candidates are asking for the blessing of the Bodhisattva. And there is only one champion, how can they both be the champion at the same time."

"Sister Song~" Ziying said coquettishly, "I'm just in a hurry, hey, sister Song, tell me, who are the ones who went to the palace with them?"

"No one knows." Song Guichen calculated how much she could earn back from the 1000 taels she bet in Fanlou if Gu Yi really won the number one prize, and replied to Ziying, "Who is in the top ten and who can enter?" Palace face saints are kept absolutely confidential, and no one will know until the results of the palace test come out."

Zi Ying ate a few mouthfuls of snacks in disappointment, then went out of the room to find Guan Shi.

"Miss Ying." Manager Gu made room for Ziying with his hands in his hands.

"Housekeeper, did my mother bring anything when you came? Where's my father? By the way, did Duan Xiaochen do anything new?"

"Everything is fine at home. My lord and my wife only ordered the girl to take care of herself and not cause trouble."

"Tch, I didn't cause trouble—" Ziying muttered dissatisfiedly, and suddenly saw a man looking around in the alley, she immediately became interested, raised her long skirt and "dengdenggao" came to the person, and snapped it on. the back of his head.

"Little thief, what are you doing sneaking around here?"

The man screamed in pain, "Help, help, I'm not a thief. I'm Lin Can from Taishi Academy, who came here specially to find Miss Song."

"Not a thief?" Ziying put him down suspiciously, "What are you looking for, sister Song?"

"I'm here, I'm sending Miss Song a painting."

"Send paintings?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Can hugged the painting in his arms like protecting a baby, "I wonder if Miss Song is here?"

The commotion here attracted Song Guichen, seeing Lin Can, Song Guichen couldn't laugh or cry: "Mr. Lin, who are you?"

"Fairy!" Lin Can quickly stood beside Song Guichen with a bright smile, "Fairy, last time I promised Fairy that I would give Fairy another painting, and I brought it."

Song Guichen: ...

Lin Can said again: "Fairy, can I take a step to speak?"

He said and looked at Ziying and Gu Guanshi: "I will talk to Miss Song alone for a while, don't worry, I won't hurt the fairy."

Song Guichen had black lines all over his head.
