Comprehensive Wu Daming Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 20
The episode of the Town God's Temple Fair has come to an end.

Since then, Li Xuan has never seen Tang Bohu again, and it is estimated that he has sneaked into Washington and became 9527.

In fact, he quite understood Tang Bohu.

Others envy him that he is young and promising, his family is rich, his family has eight beautiful wives, and the peak of his life is nothing more than that, so why is he not satisfied?

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Don't persuade others to be kind without human affairs!

There are eight beautiful wives in the family, who are as beautiful as flowers, and have everything to eat, drink and gamble!

Every day, the backyard of the Tang Mansion is full of smog!

He has a stomach full of talent, but no one around him knows how to appreciate it.

Just like he said: "I was wrong! The ladies are gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous, and housekeeping. I don't know how to appreciate them!"

The collection of Tang Yin's poems was used as a table corner, the picture of a hundred flowers competing for beauty became a tablecloth, and the picture of a hundred birds facing a phoenix became a chicken.

It's no wonder that an unattractive woman like Qiuxiang completely captivated his soul just by smiling at him three times.

That day, Taishi Hua was chatting with Mrs. Hua over tea in the lobby.

The guard at the door came in and reported: "Master, Master Li Xuan from Luoxia Villa is here to visit."

When Old Master Hua heard that Li Xuan was coming, he hurriedly ordered his servants: "Quick! Tell him to come in! Does he have anything in his hand?"

"Young Master Li didn't hold anything in his hand." The boy paused after speaking.

"Didn't bring anything? Could it be that he forgot what he promised the old man when he came last time?" The old grand master stroked his beard with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"It's just that the little maid he brought is holding a brocade box, which looks like calligraphy and painting." Seeing that the old master looked dissatisfied, the young servant hurriedly continued.

"Hua Xi! The next time you talk to this old man, you will be out of breath, and this old man will belittle you as a lowly servant, and go pick up dog shit for this old man! Hurry up and welcome Li Xuan in!"

Seeing the impatient look of the old master, Hua Xi hurried back to meet Li Xuan.

"Chunxiang, go and order the kitchen to prepare a table of good food and wine. I will leave Li Xuan here for lunch today." The old master arranged for Chunxiang to go to the kitchen to say hello.

"Master, Li Xuan's visits are usually just for chatting, why do you want to keep him in the mansion for dinner this time?"

Usually when Li Xuan came to visit, the old grand master would at most bring him into the study, the two of them chatted and drank tea, but never left him to eat at the residence.

When Li Xuan came over today, the old grand master not only acted impatiently, but also asked him to stay at the house for dinner, his behavior was simply too abnormal.

That's why Mrs. Hua asked this question.

"Ma'am, who do you think is the most admired painting on the market?"

"Of course it's Tang Bohu, so what's the point? Although I don't like his character, his paintings will at least sell for one or two thousand taels of silver in the market."

"Wrong! Now Tang Bohu's paintings on the market have been fired to nearly 1 taels of silver!"

"So expensive?"

"That's right! Ma'am, you said that one of Tang Bohu's paintings is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, so how precious should his paintings by Li Xuan, the number one talented man in the south of the Yangtze River be?"

"Aren't Li Xuan's paintings and calligraphy works circulating in the market?"

"Yes! That's because he doesn't paint easily. Didn't the old man go to Luzhou for inspection a few days ago? I saw his paintings at the residence of his teacher Wang Yangming. It's really a work of heaven!"

"Look, he's here!"

Just when the old grand master was admiring Li Xuan to Mrs. Hua, Li Xuan had already been welcomed into the garden by Hua Xi.

"Nephew is here!" Li Xuan just entered the garden, the old grand master greeted him with a smile all over his face.

"The late student pays respects to the grand master and the old lady!"

The old master helped Li Xuan who bowed down: "Nephew, you are being polite, how many times have I told you that there are no outsiders in the family, so there is no need to be so formal!"

"Rites cannot be discarded! Wansheng brought a clumsy work this time, and I hope the old master can learn from you."

Under Li Xuan's signal, Xiaodie stepped forward to present the brocade box.

"Is this painting your work?" The old master opened the brocade box and carefully took out the scroll inside: "The last time I saw your painting at Mr. Yangming's place, I was really amazed! Since then I I really look forward to your painting! Today I can finally get my wish! Haha! Really happy!"

"The grand master loves you! Wansheng is not worthy of being praised by the grand master!" Li Xuan helped Grand Master Hua untie the scroll, and said modestly: "This is a new painting painted by Wansheng in the past few days. Please taste it. Learn."

After finishing speaking, the two unfolded the scroll and spread it on the desk prepared by the servants.

"A picture of a unicorn howling a mountain!"

On the picture scroll, a heroic Qilin beast stood on the top of the mountain, looking up to the sky and howling!

All the beasts under the mountain fell to the ground, as if bowing down to the king!
"Good painting! Great unicorn!" Taishi Hua was full of praise after seeing Li Xuan's painting, and his love was beyond words.

Just when Hua Taishi was full of joy, Hua Xi rushed in.

"The grand master is not good! The grand master is not good!"

"Tell me! What's going on? The sky is falling? How can you be so flustered!"

"Yes...it's King Ning...it's King Ning who came here with a large team!"

Hua Xi's words instantly chilled Grand Master Hua Debao's joyful mood!
King Ning is not a good stubble!

Above the imperial court, he, Taishi Hua, belonged to the royalist faction, and had written to impeach King Ning many times.

It is estimated that in the eyes of King Ning, he is a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh!I can't wait to get rid of it and then quickly exist!

This time King Ning came with heavy troops, it is estimated that the visitors were not kind!
"Master, this King Ning has always had different political views from the master, and has become incompatible in the court. This time, he came here rashly and brought a large group of people. I am afraid he has other plans. Be careful not to let him take the opportunity to get mad!"

Grand Master Hua thought for a while, and then said to Li Xuan: "King Ning's visit this time is probably not a good one, nephew, you should go to the back hall to hide for a while, and come out when the old man calls you."

"Okay! If there is any need, the grand master can call the students out at any time!"

"Nephew, as long as he has the heart, King Ning doesn't dare to do anything to me!"

After finishing speaking, let Chunxiang take Li Xuan to the back hall.

"King Ning is here!" the servants outside the courtyard sang.

"Hahaha! Master Hua, how are you?!"

"Hahaha! The lord has honored me by visiting my humble house, I am really flattered!"

"Hey! Grand Master is serious! Ben Wang Su Wen Grand Master has a preference for Danqing, and it happens that this king found some authentic works of Tang Bohu, and I came here to give you a special trip!"

"My lord, uh..."

"Grand Master, you're welcome!" Before Grand Master Hua could say anything, he was interrupted by King Ning, and turned to the people behind and said, "Master, bring the painting."

A short moustache walked out from behind King Ning, holding a painting and spreading it out on the desk just now.

I saw a gorgeous peacock jumping out of the paper with its head held high and its chest proud.

Helpless, Hua Taishi could only step forward to watch carefully.

"It's really lifelike and full of charm!"

"Haha! Very good! I admire the kingly demeanor!" King Ning bowed his head and said to Grand Master Hua: "I even asked someone to re-frame it. Look at the aura that makes the birds bow their heads, vividly on the paper! You really deserve to be the king of birds! Hahaha!"

"Hey! My lord, how can I bear such an expensive gift?" Grand Master Hua wondered.

"You don't give me face, you want to force me to get mad!"

King Ning said that the king was very angry and the consequences would be serious!
"Hey! My lord, please calm down!" Mrs. Hua hurried forward to stop her, and then said: "Since the lord brought a famous painting today, this concubine also wants to open her eyes."

"Okay! Since Mrs. Hua is also a person who loves painting, let's study it together!"
