The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 918

In fact, after Gu Chengyu drank the tea in the space, he naturally felt that the tea in front of him was a bit ordinary.But it is undeniable that this tea is not much worse than those famous teas.

"That's right!" Qiu Yifan had something on his mind, why would he put his mind on tea?So it's just a simple addition.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu's attitude was not perfunctory, the smile on Qian Yi's face became more sincere, and he was afraid that these two people would not like his tea.

"Then I will pack some for the two adults to take back later, which is a little bit of my kindness."

"Then you are welcome, thank you!"

Although Gu Chengyu didn't like this bit of tea, but it was a filial gift from a lower official who wanted to get closer, so he couldn't refuse it.

Otherwise, others will misunderstand that he looks down on people, which will be very detrimental to his future work in the Imperial Academy.

Human relations are indispensable everywhere, especially when he is in the officialdom now, human relations are more important.

It's normal to receive some filial piety from subordinate officials, let alone some tea, so I feel uneasy if I don't accept it!
However, Gu Chengyu has already made plans to send some gifts in return.

"That's why we took advantage." Qiu Yifan pretended to be happy, but he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot in his heart.

Gu Chengyu knew that Qiu Yifan must be sitting on pins and needles right now, so he turned his attention to a painting hanging on the wall, "Huh? Who made this painting?"

He stood up and walked towards the painting.Qian Yi naturally had to answer, so he also walked to Gu Chengyu's side and introduced Gu Chengyu.

"This picture of fish playing in the lotus pond was made by Xiaguan. Xiaguan's house has a small pond. One day he saw this beautiful scenery, so he drew it. I am ashamed to say that Xiaguan's painting skills are clumsy, and it is difficult to describe it as elegant. Tang. I saw that there was a lack of decorations here, so I just used it to make up the number."

Qian Yi smiled a little shyly. The picture of the beauty of Qionghua that he had painted in the Duke of Qin's mansion before was already famous throughout the capital.

Who in the capital does not know that Gu Zhuangyuan is a master of calligraphy and painting?Even poems and songs are unmatched.

With such clumsy painting skills, he really can't show it in front of others.

"No, no, no! This fish is very clever in painting, if you want to spend money to review your attainments in painting and calligraphy, it's not shallow!"

Looking at the furnishings next to him, Gu Chengyu knew that the family might not be rich with this money review, and of course he couldn't afford famous paintings.

The furnishings here are extremely simple, there are no expensive ornaments and famous calligraphy and painting decorations at all.

"When it comes to both calligraphy and painting, no one in the capital can match your lord. This is a classmate's axe."

"Don't belittle yourself in the money review, according to my opinion"

Just when the two were flattering each other, Qiu Yifan curled his lips, and then inadvertently set his eyes on a corner of the table.

Huh?He glanced at the two people with their backs to him, and looked eagerly at the few books in the corner.

Of course, he wasn't interested in those books, what really caught his eyes was the two pieces of rice paper on the books.

Isn't this the oracle that Gu Chengyu brought over just now?Glancing at the two who were still flattering each other, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Just now Gu Chengyu had a vigilant look on his face, holding on to the oracle, but now Gu Chengyu's mind has been completely attracted by the painting.

But seeing Gu Chengyu's mouth kept being humble, but the smile on his face was obvious, maybe he was already triumphant in his heart.

It can be seen that the flattery of Qian's review has made Gu Chengyu feel giddy, how can he remember the sacred edict?

Watching the behavior of the two of them carefully with both eyes, he quickly took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve, and stuffed the two on the table into his sleeve.

Qiu Yifan's movements were not unpleasant. After this series of movements, it only took two breaths of time.

"Hehuan, come and take a look. This is a painting by Qian Xianjian, and I don't think it's much worse than those of you."

Gu Chengyu turned around and waved to Qiu Yifan with a smile on his face, letting him go and admire it together.

Qiu Yifan thought secretly that it was dangerous, and he was only one breath away from being caught by Gu Chengyu.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu didn't have any doubts, and asked him to go and appreciate it together, Qiu Yifan couldn't help but slander in his heart.

His talent for painting is mediocre, so he doesn't like to appreciate other people's paintings.In the past, could it be that he was listening to the two of them flattering each other?

However, he had already completed half of the task just now, and he was in a good mood at the moment.Therefore, he got up and stepped forward, ready to join the boasting team.

"Is Jinyu here?"

Before everyone could say a word, Zhang Hai came back and heard their conversation.So there was a shout at the door.

The imperial court is about to come down now, so Zhang Hai has to rush to the imperial study to deliver the imperial edict.

"Ah! Master Zhang is back." Gu Chengyu seemed to suddenly remember that there was something important to do, so he hurriedly looked back at the table.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the things he had brought were still intact.

"Qian Jian, it's rare to be able to chat a few words today. I found that you have a lot of knowledge in calligraphy and painting. Let's talk about it in detail another day."

Gu Chengyu nodded at Qian Kai, with a smile on his face, expressing that he had a great time chatting today.

There was no hypocrisy in these words, Gu Chengyu felt that Qian Yi did have some talent in calligraphy and painting, and the two of them chatted quite speculatively.

Coupled with Qian Yi's calm and smooth personality, although he is a little cautious, it does not prevent the two of them from interacting.

The most important point is that Zhang Hai often assigns Qian Yi to do things for him.Don't think that he is just a review from the seventh rank, but Gu Chengyu dare not underestimate him.

Through him, Gu Chengyu can learn more about the affairs of the Imperial Academy, and he can also learn about Zhang Hai's important decisions in advance.

The two exchanged a few more words, Gu Chengyu stepped forward to take the things, turned around and walked out.

"Jinyu! Hurry up, don't make Mr. Zhang wait too long." Qiu Yifan hurriedly dragged Gu Chengyu to Zhang Hai's room.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the paper in his hand, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

"Although there is nothing to modify yesterday, there must be no mistakes in today's transcription."

Zhang Hai picked up the oracle, looked at it carefully, and then nodded in satisfaction.

As soon as these words came out, both Qiu Yifan and Gu Chengyu felt relieved.

"Okay! I will go to the imperial study room to meet the saint immediately, you go down first!" Zhang Hai was in a hurry to go out, so naturally he would not greet the two of them.

As for what Qiu Yifan came here for, he never thought of asking.

"My lord! This is the sub-volume of the canon that I have compiled before the next official, please have a look at it."

He had to tell the reason why he came with him, so that Gu Chengyu wouldn't get suspicious at that time.

"Let's put it aside for now! I'll look at it when I come back."

Gu Chengyu and Qiu Yifan returned to the office together, and Gu Chengyu could tell that Qiu Yifan was in a very happy mood.

He sneered, this is a success, do you think it's a sure thing?
