Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 268 Stigma

The painting was waiting for the imperial edict to be written, and two lines of poetry were dropped in the blank space of the painting: Gaobiao Yiyun, do you know that it is the time when the ice and snow are accumulating.

Different from the vigorous and sharp handwriting of He Yushi, the calligraphy of the painting has a graceful beauty of flowing clouds and flowing water.

Xin You was upright, looked at it carefully, and praised: "Good sentences, good words."

"As long as you like it, little brother." Hua Daizhao could tell that the compliment came from sincerity, and he suddenly felt like a confidant.

"Uncle has such painting skills. He can teach his children in academies or wealthy families. Why do he set up a stall on the street?"

Hua Daizhao sighed after hearing this.

I once thought that the sky would fly straight up, but I didn't expect that I fell into a big pit and couldn't climb out.

Facing the young man's curious gaze, Hua Daizhao couldn't say anything, so he said vaguely: "It's more comfortable to set up a stall on the street, and it's not for money..."

Seeing Hua Daizhao's harsh words, Xin You probably understood.

Being summoned to the Hanlin Academy like this means that he is serving the royal family. If he openly sells paintings to obtain property, it will easily lead to disaster.However, the salary was too low and there were no additional rewards. In order to make ends meet, he had to secretly set up stalls and sell paintings.

By this time, the suspicion of Hua Daizhao in Xin You's heart was very small.

Whoever is a chess piece will have such a difficult life.

When the ink dried, Xin You rolled up the painting, put down two taels of silver, and turned to leave, but was held tightly by the painting.

"Little brother, I gave you too much."

Xin You smiled: "I think it's too little. With my uncle's painting skills, this painting is worth 20 taels of silver."

Hua Daizhao was stunned after hearing this. When he came to his senses again, the young man had already strode away.

"Xin Daizhao..." Hua Daizhao held the cold broken silver tightly and looked at the direction Xin You left without making any move for a long time.

The next day, Xin You stepped into the waiting room and nodded to the people who came over to greet him as before. He subconsciously showed a big smile and quickly put it back.

Not long after, the palace servant came again to tell Xinyou to enter the palace.

As soon as she left, Diuzhao suddenly came up to Hua Daizhao and looked left and right.

"What are you doing?" Hua Daizhao frowned.

"Strange, strange." The fortune teller was confused.

"What's weird?" Cidaizhao asked aloud, being attracted by the fortune-telling behavior.

Qi Daizhao also opened his eyes and looked over.

The fortune teller looked at the painting and the imperial edict carefully and murmured: "The day before yesterday, I randomly made a divination and calculated that the painting and the imperial edict would bring bad luck. But today, not only did the bad luck disappear, but I also made a small fortune."

Hua Daizhao's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Divination Daizhao.

He always thought that this guy was a magician, but he didn't expect that he was actually a magician!
After discovering that his colleagues were really capable people, Hua's attitude toward the imperial edict changed: "Brother Bu was right. I was going to be unlucky, but I met a noble person..."

After hearing the divination and waiting for the imperial edict, he immediately shook the tortoise shell. After reading the hexagram, he looked at the painting and waiting for the imperial edict with a very solemn expression.

"Brother Bu, could it be that my little brother is still unlucky?"

"No -" Divination Waiting for Zhao shook his head, hesitated for a moment and said, "The opportunity for Brother Painter to rise to prominence may be this noble man."

Hua Daizhao's heart skipped a beat.

Ci Daizhao and Qi Daizhao came over and asked, "Brother Hua, what is the identity of this noble man?" Hua Daizhao hurriedly shook his head: "It's just a chance encounter, I don't know."

"That's a pity." Among them, Ci Daizhao is the youngest and the most talkative. "Brother Hua, I see you just smiled warmly at Xin Daizhao."

"Ahem, they are all colleagues. They look down and don't look up all day long. It's not good to keep turning a blind eye to them."

Xin You now considers Hua Daizhao to be a good person with good character, good temper, and good at painting. Hua Daizhao is unwilling to say that he is not good against his will.

"I'm just afraid that our enthusiasm will cause others to misunderstand that we want to climb high."

Hua Daizhao blurted out: "Xin Daizhao is not this kind of person."

"Huh?" Several people looked at him.

"I have been painting characters for so many years, and I am used to observing a person's eyes. Xin Daizhao's eyes are pure and clear, and his character must be unmistakable."

"Brother Hua, don't you just judge people by their appearance." Ci Daizhao shook his head.

"If you don't believe it, just wait and see."

Hua Daizhao believed that it would be impossible to hide a person's personality after getting along day and night for a long time. Then several colleagues would be able to find out how good Xin Daizhao is.

Unexpectedly, within a few days of saying "Painting to Wait for an Imperial Order", a rumor came out: Mr. Songling had another person, and Xin Mu, who entered the Hanlin Academy with a written to wait for an Imperial Order, was an imposter.

Xin You appeared as Xin Mu and did not hide from the beginning that she was not Mr. Song Ling. Emperor Xingyuan knew this, Meng Jijiu knew it, and Xie Zhangyuan of the Hanlin Academy also knew it.

However, these people's knowledge does not prevent the rumors from getting worse.People's mouths cannot be blocked. Compared with top figures who know the situation early, ordinary people's sources of information come from hearsay and then spread.

The most angry among them were the students of the Imperial College.

When school was over, several young supervisors rushed into Qingsong Bookstore and surrounded Shopkeeper Hu.

"Does the shopkeeper know that someone pretended to be Mr. Song Ling and used Mr. Song Ling's talents to enter the Hanlin Academy?"

Shopkeeper Hu looked confused: "What Hanlin Academy? A commoner like me doesn't understand this."

"It's useless to talk to him. Let's go and meet that Xin Daizhao." The leading student was none other than Sun Zhangxu, Zhang's first assistant.

On the way to the Hanlin Academy, someone was also worried: "Brother Zhang, I heard that that man is the adopted son of the late empress, and he is often summoned by me."

Zhang Xu sneered: "So what? We didn't plan to beat him, we just asked him where he got the shame to take the name of Mr. Songling. You, like me, have read "Journey to the West" and regard Mr. Songling as everyone's , can he tolerate someone using his reputation to swindle? Huh, if you are afraid, just go back, I will go by myself, even if I get scolded by you, I will admit it!"

People are divided into groups, and birds of a feather flock together. You can imagine what kind of Jiansheng would be like if he could hang out with Zhang Xu.Hearing Zhang Xu's excitement, the few of them stopped talking and headed towards the Hanlin Academy in a furious manner.

The rumors about Xin Daizhao naturally spread to the Hanlin Academy. When Xinyou went out to the lower office, the few people in the east hall who were eager to make friends with her all avoided her with contempt on their faces.

It's just other places. The Hanlin Academy is the place where Da Xia cultivates talents and gathers talents from all over the world. It's really infuriating that such a person sneaks in.

Xin You ignored these looks and walked out. With a calm expression, she was actually in a good mood.

Master He has already obtained Doctor Zhao's handwriting, which is different from Zhou Tong's letter, but she has not yet had the chance to meet this third Dongsheng in person.

Stepping into this whirlpool, she was not afraid of trouble.The calm situation made it difficult for people to start, and the rumors about her all proved that the forces behind the scenes really existed, and seeing that she often came to the palace to accompany her, he became anxious.

"Did you come out?"

The young voice floated into Xin You's ears. She followed the sound and saw several teenagers jumping out.
