The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1924

[Chapter 1924 Qi Xuan Fanwai (82)]

After walking with Yunqing for a day and buying a lot of things, Qi Xuan’s mood was much better.

However, when he returned to the palace and met Dai Yanxin, his mood instantly changed.

Qi Xuan frowned and said, “I didn’t say last time that I was unfamiliar with Mr. Huang, and I couldn’t draw well even if I was asked to draw.”

Dai Yanxin said: “Si Ling asked Lin painter to paint two paintings for Mr. Huang, but Mr. Huang couldn’t say it well. He just wanted you to make a painting for him, and told Si Ling that it was his only one. wish.”

Qi Xuan was a little annoyed.

Dai Yanxin said: “I know you don’t want to paint, but you don’t look at the monk’s face or the Buddha’s face. King You has nothing to say to us all these years. Now that my younger brother and sister come to our door, it would be too impersonal for you to refuse.”

Qi Xuan felt very uncomfortable, but he didn’t refuse: “You rest early, I’ll go back to the study to sleep.”

If he is in a bad mood, he will stay in the study. This Dai Yanxin has long known: “Okay.”

After returning to the study, Qi Xuan called his personal servant to come over: “Go to Prince You’s Mansion and tell Prince You that I will be there tomorrow morning.”

Some things are not easy to say to the Huang family, but it is better to say it directly to Qiyou.

When Qiyou heard the news, he said to Huang Siling a little strangely, “I don’t know what happened to the third brother? It’s such a big night to let someone pass the word.”

Today I went to Prince Xuan’s mansion to find Dai Yanxin, but Huang Siling didn’t tell Qiyou beforehand. At this moment, she didn’t dare to hide it: “Should I ask him to paint for my father, right?”

Qiyou was very unhappy when he heard this: “Painter Lin did not make two paintings for your father, either of the two paintings is very good.” If the painting is not good, he has nothing to say. But those two paintings are very good. Master Huang is not satisfied, he is completely picky.

Huang Siling was also very aggrieved: “Dad kept begging me, begging me to ask my third brother to paint him a painting. I refused before, but today he grabbed my hand and said that this was his only wish before he died, you say What can I do?” She even said her only wish before dying, what can she do as a daughter? He can only do his best to make this wish come true.

Qiyou felt that Huang Shoushan was completely tossing around: “Forget it, I will solve this matter, don’t be uncomfortable.”

Huang Siling nodded.

Qixuan went to Qixuan early in the morning: “Third brother, my father-in-law is just messing around, don’t pay attention to him.” Compared with Qixuan, Huang Shoushan naturally wanted to stand aside.

Qi Xuan said with a smile, “I’ll first take a look at the painting Lin painted for Master Huang. If it’s not good, I’ll make a painting for Master Huang.” If the painting is good, there is no need to waste his time and energy. .

Qiyou hurriedly said: “Third brother, there is no need to force yourself.”

“Ayou, I know that if it wasn’t for the help, my younger brother and sister would definitely not say this.” According to his original temperament, even if Dai Yanxin said it, he would not let go. However, it is no longer the time when I was young, and I do things according to my own wishes. Now, he will also take care of the feelings of those he cares about.

Qiyou smiled: “Third brother, I will solve this matter.”

Qi Xuan patted Qi You on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be silly, come to Huang’s house with me!” If Qi You refused, let Lord Huang leave with regret. In the future, the Huang family will blame Qiyou for this matter, and the husband and wife may have a quarrel.

When he arrived at Huang’s house, Qixuan said to Huang Shoushan after seeing the portrait made by Lin painter, “Master Huang, Lin painter’s painting is very good. Even if I paint, I can’t draw better than him.”

Huang Shoushan felt that Qi Xuan was a shirk: “I just ask the lord to make a painting for me, even if I die, I will not regret it.”

Qi Xuan explained patiently: “Master Huang, if you asked me to paint, I can only paint you as you are now. Even if I am good at painting, this painting will not look good.”

Huang Shoushan has been lying on the bed for almost a year, and the physical and mental conditions of the person who are about to step into the coffin can be imagined. How can it be good to draw in this way.

Huang Shoushan hurriedly said, “My lord, my lord, just paint me as I looked 20 years ago.” He had seen Qi Xuan’s painting for Han Jianming, and he was envious after seeing it, and he always wanted Qi Xuan to paint him a picture. painting.

As people get older, their obsessions deepen. A few years ago, while he was sick, he mentioned this to Huang Siling. Although he was rejected, he still did not give up. Now seriously ill, he repeats the old words

Qi Xuan shook his head and said, “Sorry, Master Huang, I don’t remember what you looked like twenty years ago.”

Huang Shoushan was stunned, and after a while, he said, “How come?”

Qi Xuan shook his head and said, “Master Huang, my memory is not very good. I don’t remember much what many people looked like in the past.” In fact, it was not because of his bad memory, but the number of times he met Huang Shoushan did not add up to more than two times. Slap, and every time I see it is very short. Therefore, he only had a vague impression of what Huang Shoushan looked like more than 20 years ago. In this case, how could he paint Huang Shoushan’s appearance when he was young?

Huang Shoushan was both disappointed and uncomfortable.

Qi Xuan said, “Master Huang, my paintings are definitely not as good as Master Lin’s.”

Although he was raised very high, Qi Xuan knew that painter Lin’s painting skills were much higher than him.

Before Huang Shoushan could speak, Qiyou said, “Father-in-law, you have a good rest, and my third brother and I will go first if we have something to do.” He didn’t have a good impression of Huang Shoushan. When he was young, he spoiled his concubine and his two sons, which was not good for his mother-in-law and Si Ling. Later, Si Ling married him, and Huang Shoushan hurriedly repaired the father-daughter relationship. Then, I wanted him to look after the two concubines of Buddha. Unfortunately, Qiyou ignored him at all.

Huang Siling has no feelings for the two concubine younger brothers, so she never intercedes for the two.

Back at home, Qi Xuan and Dai Yanxin said, “Tell your younger brother and sister, I really don’t remember what Mr. Huang looked like when he was young. But if Mr. Huang insists on me painting, I will paint for him. However, I can only do it. Painting him like this. But I’m afraid I won’t be satisfied if I paint Master Huang.”

Dai Yanxin asked, “Master Huang insists on letting you paint him because he wants you to paint him as he was young?”

Qi Xuan nodded.

Dai Yanxin didn’t know what to say anymore. His prince was raised by the old British prince and the old Zhongyonghou. The prince is very familiar with them, and naturally he can draw them as they were when they were young, which is normal. But Huang Shoushan and Qi Xuan have nothing to do with each other at all, how to draw this.

Qi Xuan said: “Tell your younger brother and sister well, don’t let their husband and wife quarrel because of me.”

Dai Yanxin smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely talk to my younger brother and sister.” Master Huang’s request is completely unreasonable, even if the husband doesn’t paint, he can’t be blamed.

Huang Siling wanted Qi Xuan to paint a picture for her father, even if it looked like this now. But Qiyou was not willing. He knew that Qi Xuan agreed to paint Huang Shoushan because of his own face, otherwise he would not enter the gate of Huang’s house.

Qiyou said with a cold face: “This time the matter is over, don’t go to the third sister-in-law again.”

Huang Siling didn’t dare to confront Qiyou: “I see.” Qiyou is a bit domineering, and he has the final say in everything in the family. However, Huang Siling is not a competitive person, so the husband and wife have gotten along very well over the years.

Not long after this incident, a wealthy businessman named Qian Gui went to the palace to ask for a painting, saying that as long as Qi Xuan was willing to make a painting for him, he would be willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver.

After Qi Xuan heard this, he was so angry that he beat Qian Gui out.

Within two days, he invited a friend who had made good friends with Qi Xuan to speak. Said that if Qi Xuan was willing to paint for him, he would pay 200,000 taels of silver.

Qi Xuan knew the intention of his friend’s visit, and immediately served tea to the guest.

Dai Yanxin was very keen, and said to Qi Xuan, “My lord, I think this is strange.”

“I’ve already asked the big housekeeper to check.” He was the king of the dynasty, not a poor painter. Qian Gui actually used money to smash him, this guy is really fat.

The big housekeeper quickly told Qi Xuan of the results of the investigation: “My lord, Qian Gui was drunk and told others that his paintings would be handed down for centuries. If the lord paints for him, then his face will not only be bright, he said. Maybe it will last forever.” Thinking about a painting of 200,000 makes me so excited, but unfortunately my lord doesn’t paint it, otherwise 200,000 silver would be easy to get.

Qi Xuan asked, “How credible do you think this is?” If it were 20,000 taels of silver, it was still possible. 200,000 yuan, no matter how much money is burned, it is useless.

The big housekeeper actually wanted to say, “My lord, if you paint him a picture, you will know the truth. However, I thought about it in my heart and dared not say it. Having been the steward of Prince Xuan’s mansion for more than 20 years, how could he not know Qi Xuan’s temperament: “My lord, this old slave doesn’t know.”

Although Qi Xuan did not agree to paint for Qian Gui, the news spread. People in the capital were discussing whether Xuanwang’s mansion used a magic brush to paint, otherwise why would a painting be worth 200,000 taels of silver.

Qi Xuan went to Qi You for a drink, looked at Qi You and asked, “You didn’t find out about Qian Gui, right?” This Qian Gui is a maritime merchant, and Qi You used to manage shipping. Therefore, he suspected that Qiyou was giving him momentum.

Qiyou laughed and said, “If I made it, I would have told you already, and I would have to listen to you. But speaking of it, with the matter of money and expensiveness, it is estimated that no one will come and ask you to help you paint in the future. “200,000 yuan for a painting, who can afford it! No matter how rich you are, you can’t waste it like this.

Qi Xuan thought about it and thought, “Indeed, people shouldn’t always come to me and ask me to paint in the future. However, I still think that the money is expensive.” No matter how rich, he is just a businessman. The courage to ask him to paint.

Qiyou ate an fennel bean and said with a smile, “Third brother, this matter will not only do you no harm, but will help you build momentum.” Therefore, he felt that there was no need to pursue it.

When he got home, he saw Dai Yanxin reading the famous post, and Qi Xuan asked, “What?”

Dai Yanxin handed the famous post to Qixuan and said with a smile, “Show Xue Yanxiang three candidates, you can take a look.”

Qi Xuan took it over and looked at it carefully. After reading it, he asked, “This Gu Kun is already famous, how could the Gu family want to marry us?” Normally, eighteen years old is a talent, and the elders will definitely wait for him to try. Say again dear. If you pass the test, you can talk about a better and more helpful marriage, and if you fail the test, you don’t have to worry that no one will come to your home to talk about your relationship. And he is just an idle prince, who can’t give Gu Kun any help.

Dai Yanxin said, “This Gu Kun is an adopted son, and Mrs. Gu said she would let him move out of the Gu Mansion to live alone when he gets married.” She was talking about moving out, not separating. If you move out, you won’t have any property left.

“Really an adopted child? Not an outsider child?”

Dai Yanxin shook his head and said, “Mrs. Gu has not been happy for five years since she had been through the door. She hugged an orphan of the same clan and raised her under her lap. As a result, Mrs. Gu was pregnant that year, but the child is lucky, and Mrs. Gu’s first two children were girls.” Mrs. Gu gave birth to a son, and Gu Kun has already entered the college to study.

“Is this not in their name?” If it was in their name, it wouldn’t say let the children move out.

Dai Yanxin shook his head and said, “No. I think she was worried that she would damage her son’s interests in the future, so she didn’t record the child in her name.” ‘s eldest son. The eldest son will inherit 70% of the family’s property. Not remembered, that is the adopted son. It is up to their husband and wife to decide whether to divide the property or not.

Qi Xuan said: “I’ll ask someone to inquire about Gu Kun’s temperament. If it’s good, I’ll settle it.” It may be difficult to live out in the future, but if you can be the master of your own life, you can live comfortably. .

Dai Yanxin nodded.
