Qin Yuanzheng was currently drinking alone.
He was in a very bad mood.
Anyone would be in a bad mood if they were forced to separate from their childhood sweetheart.
Although Zhang Mingshu had only been sent to a side courtyard in the Northern Garrison Prince's estate, and Qin Yuanzheng could still visit her when he missed her, the two of them were currently in a honeymoon period. Being forced to separate was still quite painful.
At this moment, he was half drunk when he heard someone beside him say, "It is said that Wen Song Ju will be displaying Master Han Shi's painting today. Brother Li, are you willing to come with me to take a look?"
"Of course."
Qin Yuanzheng's heart skipped a beat. Master Han Shi?
Qin Yuanzheng had two passions in his life. One was painting, the other was wine.
Unfortunately, his close female friend was not proficient in either of them.
Master Han Shi was the most famous painter of the previous dynasty. His skills had already reached the pinnacle of perfection. The people of the world called him the "Painting Saint".
He immediately put down the wine cup in his hand and walked towards Wen Song Ju.
"Everyone, today we will be displaying Master Han Shi's most proficient painting, the Dim Yellow Bamboo Painting. Please take a look." A middle-aged man dressed like a scholar said in a clear voice.
At the same time, he slowly unfurled a painting scroll.
On the scroll, there were patches of bamboo forest, scattered cold stones, and gurgling streams. Master Han Shi was worthy of being called a master. With just a few strokes, he had vividly displayed a Dim Yellow Bamboo Painting in the depths of the mountains in front of everyone.
Many people began to click their tongues in admiration. Finally, the middle-aged scholar revealed his purpose.
The general idea was that his family had encountered a great change and he had no choice but to sell his family's collection. This Master Han Shi's painting was one of the most precious works in his collection. He hoped that a fated person would be able to obtain it.
How could Qin Yuanzheng let go of such an opportunity?
He immediately opened his mouth to offer a price. However, there were many rich people in the capital. For a moment, there were actually many people competing to raise the price.
Qin Yuanzheng was already a bit annoyed. Just as he was about to shout out a high price, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
He didn't know what kind of perfume it was, but it lingered in his nose and made him feel refreshed.
Immediately after, he felt his sleeve being pulled by someone.
Turning his head, he met a pair of eyes as bright as the stars.
Without a doubt, this pair of eyes was shockingly beautiful, causing Qin Yuanzheng to be slightly dazed.
The woman's face was covered with a veil as she softly said, "This young master is too presumptuous. This painting doesn't seem to be authentic."
Her voice was clear and crisp, like the collision of gold and jade, extremely pleasant to the ears.
Qin Yuanzheng was attracted by her voice and the content of her words. He unknowingly followed her to the private room on the second floor.
"I wonder if you have any proof that the painting is fake?" Qin Yuanzheng still remembered the important matter.
The woman, Gu Shengyin, chuckled. "Dare I ask young master, what are the characteristics of Mr. Han Shi's brush strokes?"
Qin Yuanzheng answered without thinking, "His strength penetrates the paper, his arrogance is unruly, and his painting is just like him."
Gu Shengyin nodded. "Then, young master, please think about it again. Was the painting just now like this?"
Qin Yuanzheng frowned. "I've seen that painting. It's indeed Mr. Han Shi's style. No!"
His eyes suddenly lit up. "I know. That really isn't Mr. Han Shi's work!"
He thanked Gu Shengyin. "Many thanks for your words."
Gu Shengyin smiled. "It's just a small matter. I don't want to deceive someone who truly loves painting."
Although she was wearing a veil, when she smiled, the beautiful outline of her face could be vaguely seen. Under the veil, it was even more fascinating.
Qin Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment.
