After entering the Qin Mansion, Qin Yue led Su Shi to the side hall, and after instructing his servants to entertain him well, he hurried to the backyard with Li Zhonghong and others.
However, what surprised Su Shi was that Kong Wenshun did not leave with Qin Yue, but stayed with him in the side hall to wait. And after Qin Yue left, Kong Wenshun kept looking at him with a scrutinizing eye, as if he wanted to see through Su Shi.
"Does the old gentleman have something to say to me?" Facing Kong Wenshun's sharp gaze, Su Shi was not panic-stricken, but there were countless questions in his heart.
Kong Wenshun's eyes gradually softened and he suddenly smiled: "Aren't you curious about who I am?"
Su Shi blinked his eyes and said tentatively: "The old gentleman's surname is Kong, and he is the teacher of many talented people. Could it be that the old gentleman is Master Kong, the Imperial Academy's Jiu Jiu?"
Kong Wenshun nodded: "My guess is good, I am Kong Wenshun."
Su Shi had no choice but to stand up and give him a big gift: "Su Shi has met Mr. Kong."
Kong Wenshun accepted the gift calmly, and then greeted Su Shi: "Come here."
Although Su Shi didn't know what he meant, he still walked to him obediently.
Kong Wenshun suddenly pointed to the painting on the wall and asked with a smile: "What do you think of this painting?"
Su Shi couldn't help but look at the painting, and saw the moon rising between the two mountains. The mountains were majestic, birds were circling around the trees, a bamboo house was half hidden behind the flower-filled branches of the four seasons osmanthus, and a bay of clear water flowed around the mountain. Makes you feel peaceful and peaceful.
After looking at it for a while, Su Shi said with some embarrassment: "I don't know anything about painting. Lord Kong asked me what I thought of this painting, but I was blind."
Kong Wenshun didn't care and continued: "Master Qin and I have been friends for many years, and I was also in Jiang'an Mansion five years ago. One night in the late spring of that year, Master Qin and I suddenly felt like traveling, so we went on a night trip Cuiping Mountain, and finally I stayed at the Osmanthus Residence at the foot of the mountain. After I came back, as a souvenir, I painted this night tour of Cuiping Mountain."
He suddenly talked about the past incessantly, which made Su Shi feel confused. But when he learned that this painting was made by him, Su Shi smiled and said: "Since it was made by Mr., it must be a masterpiece."
Kong Wenshun naturally ignored this kind of innocuous flattery, but at this time his tone became a little regretful.
"It's just that the painting is not complete."
"incomplete?"
Su Shi didn't know what it meant, so he had to observe it carefully, but in the end he could only shake his head.
He had read a lot of comics and other works. If he was asked to evaluate such works of art, Su Shi would only look at the price tag below.
Kong Wenshun saw that he really didn't understand painting, so he stopped playing riddles and continued: "Now that the painting is complete, I want to write a poem to record my travels." At this point, he sighed again: "But poetry is not my specialty, so I thought hard about it." After several days of nothing, the place where the poem was written was left empty, and it remained empty for five years, so every time I see this painting, I feel regretful."
As he spoke, he suddenly looked directly at Su Shi and said slowly, "I wonder if Mr. Su can make up for this regret for me?"
Although Su Shi felt that Kong Wenshun was behaving strangely, he still listened carefully to his story. However, he never imagined that he would end up eating the melon.
"Me?" Su Shi looked at Kong Wenshun in surprise, and couldn't help but decline: "I have limited abilities, how dare I write a poem for a painting."
Unexpectedly, Kong Wenshun seemed to turn a deaf ear to his words and insisted on asking him to compose a poem.
Su Shi looked at Kong Wenshun in confusion, wondering why he was so insistent. But Kong Wenshun just looked at him quietly, and his eyes were firm, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
Seeing that he couldn't resist him, Su Shi had to lower his head and think for a while. After a while, he raised his head and read: "When people are busy, the osmanthus flowers are falling, and the night is quiet in the spring sky. The moonrise scares the birds in the mountains, and they sing in the spring streams."
As soon as the poem came out, Kong Wenshun's eyes immediately became sparkling, and the shocked expression on his face could no longer be concealed.
His insistence that Su Shi compose a poem on the spot would be a difficult task. Except for those talented people, others would inevitably feel powerless if they wanted to compose a poem in a very short period of time, and even if they could barely compose it, they would not be able to do it. It's also unsatisfactory.
Originally, Kong Wenshun just wanted to see if Su Shi was quick-witted, but he never expected that Su Shi only needed a few breaths to compose such a wonderful poem, which not only depicted the scenery in the painting, but also expressed their feelings at the time. So vividly.
Kong Wenshun recited it silently several times. After a long time, he finally couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay! Okay! This poem is very good!"
At this time, there was a burst of loud laughter from outside the door: "I wonder what poem can make Xuan Ping so praised? Why not recite it and let Zichuan listen attentively."
Before the laughter subsided, Qin Zhidao had already entered the side hall, followed closely by Qin Yue holding a big red wedding letter.
Su Shi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to him as a junior: "Su Shi has met Mr. Qin."
Qin Zhidao knew that Su Shi had come to return the marriage certificate, and the depression for many days was gone, so he was in high spirits and was very polite to Su Shi.
"A good nephew doesn't need to be polite."
However, Su Shi was not in the mood to be polite to them at this time. In his opinion, such a simple matter had wasted too much time, so he said bluntly: "Master Qin must have known Su Shi's intention."
Qin Zhidao was stunned. He didn't expect Su Shi to be so straightforward, getting straight to the point without saying any polite words.
He nodded slightly, then looked at Qin Yue. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Kong Wenshun laugh and say: "Zichuan, do you know that I got two good poems today."
After saying that, he looked at Su Shi with deep meaning.
Kong Wenshun suddenly interjected a line at this critical moment, which made everyone feel inexplicably abrupt. However, although Qin Zhidao felt strange, he had to sigh: "I already know one of the poems, it is indeed a wonderful poem. "
Kong Wenshun continued to ask: "But Qin Nan told you?"
Qin Zhidao smiled and said: "I heard from Nan'er that you and she met a young master by the river today, and that poem was written by that young master. I wonder if Brother Xuanping can find out which family the young master is from, so there is such a thing Talent?"
Kong Wenshun just smiled and suddenly stopped talking.
But Qin Zhidao's words reached Su Shi's ears, and Su Shi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his heartbeat almost stopped. He looked at Qin Zhidao in shock, but there were countless grass and mud horses running through his heart.
The girl he couldn't forget was actually Qin Nan, who was engaged to him! But he was eager to break off the engagement with her. Su Shi suddenly felt dumbfounded and wanted to slap himself twice, and then kick himself a few more times.
Su Shi took a few deep breaths to calm down, but he soon found himself in a dilemma.
Now that he knew that the girl he liked was Qin Nan, Su Shi was certainly not willing to break off the engagement.
Although you can remarry even if you were divorced in your previous life, it is common for you to get back together after a breakup. However, this era attaches great importance to marriage, and breaking off the engagement has become a joke among everyone. If he wants to get married again after breaking off the engagement, even if he doesn't care, the General's Mansion and the Qin Mansion will never agree again.
It's just that his words have already been spoken. If he takes it back now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? In the past, Su Shi could put his face in his pocket, but now he really couldn't do it.
He looked sharply at Kong Wenshun, but at this moment Kong Wenshun was looking at the paintings on the wall as if nothing had happened, obviously preparing to stay out of the matter.
