When Shen Yue talked about Qin, Wanyan Zonghan was not the only one who was surprised. Shi Ying's expression also changed.

But when Shen Yue mentioned "painting", Wanyan Xiyin also looked moved and looked at Wanyan Zonghan.

Then Shen Yue said the words "book, chess" again.

More and more people were confused.

Yang Yao frowned, thinking that Shen Yue should be talking about music, chess, calligraphy and painting?

This is the order in which people in the world usually call these four elegant people, but why did Shen Yue reverse the order? How could these four words change the expressions of people like Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin?

Everyone was surprised, but Shen Yue smiled alone and said: "Bo Jilie, am I right?"

Wanyan Zonghan stared at Shen Yue for a long time, then suddenly said: "Bring the painting!"

His sudden instructions were really confusing, but immediately a person rushed in from outside the door, holding a cylinder in both hands, looking very cautious.

Wanyan Zonghan took the cylinder and suddenly stretched out his hand to push it. The dishes on the table fell to the floor, making a ping-pong-pong-pang-pang-pang-pang-pang-pang sound.

Wanyan Xiyin called out: "Bo Jilie, don't be in a hurry, wait until I have someone get the table."

Wanyan Zonghan looked like he was about to spread out the picture on the table, but when he heard Wanyan Xiyin say this, he finally stopped.

When Wanyan Xiyin asked someone to fetch the desk, Wanyan Zonghan placed the painting on the desk. However, the painting could only be unfolded half way on the desk, which showed that the scroll was very long.

Shen Yue paid attention to the beginning of the scroll and raised his eyebrows slightly, because at the beginning of the scroll, in the position of the inscription, there were the words "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" inscribed in thin gold script!

Wanyan Zonghan saw Shen Yue staring at the scroll and said slowly: "What did you see, sir?"

Even Wanyan Huowu was surprised. As far as she could remember, her father had never been so polite to someone he had just met. How could Shen Yue be so kind to Wanyan Zonghan?

Shen Yue first saw the desire in Wanyan Zonghan's eyes, but he didn't say it clearly. He just said: "Different people have different opinions when looking at this scroll."

Wanyan Zonghan immediately said: "Sir, just say it, I can wait for you."

Shen Yue said slowly: "This should be Zhang Zeduan's painting of Along the River During the Qingming Festival."

Of course he knew this painting, because in his time, this painting almost became a national treasure, and the author of the painting, Zhang Zeduan, was also famous for this painting.

According to textual research, the original title of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was written by Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Next to the title, there are imprints left by the double dragon seal used in Huizong's collection.

In later generations, Song Huizong's inscription and seal were not visible in this painting.

Although Song Huizong was not a qualified king, he was definitely an excellent artist. His collection and inscriptions were also valuable for collection. Later people believed that the missing inscription marks were because someone cut them out and sold them for money.

The inscriptions and marks in the scroll can still be seen, and Shen Yue feels slightly excited.

But his excitement was quickly interrupted by Wanyan Zonghan, "Sir, do you also know about Zhang Zeduan?"

Later generations know that there are very few people who don't know Zhang Zeduan in "A River During the Qingming Festival", just like those who know Lu Xun and basically know Zhou Shuren. However, Shen Yue heard some sympathy from Wanyan Zonghan, "Why can't I know?"

Yang Yao laughed and said, "Yang doesn't know."

He didn't interrupt because he was indifferent to Wanyan Zonghan, but just to vaguely remind Shen Yue.

Yang Yao had already noticed that since Wanyan Zonghan was not an elegant person, he brought a painting with him, and when he heard Shen Yue talk about "qin, painting, calligraphy, and chess", he was very strange.

This is enough to show that these four things contain things that Wanyan Zonghan is extremely concerned about.

But what people like Wanyan Zonghan care about are definitely not elegance!

Wanyan Zonghan stared at Shen Yue, "How much do you know about Zhang Zeduan, sir?"

This confused Shen Yue. He had never thought that eight hundred years ago, someone would still consider his accomplishments in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. After pondering for a moment, Shen Yue said: "Well, he should be a court painter, good at boats, carriages, city bridges, etc. How to draw a city wall."

He has done little research on Riverside Scene during the Qingming Festival, and these analyzes are purely based on his own experiences.

Wanyan Zonghan looked slightly disappointed and glanced at Wanyan Xiyin.

Shen Yue was almost certain that Wanyan Zonghan and the others' understanding of Zhang Zeduan was not necessarily much better than his.

But why would a Jin man with such a strong penis care about a Song Dynasty painter who was not a successful painter?

Zhang Zeduan was very famous during Shen Yue's time, but he was definitely not successful during Song Huizong's time, because although his paintings were inscribed by Song Huizong, they were immediately rewarded by Song Huizong to others. At the same time, Zhang Zeduan's birth record was extremely brief. This is not the treatment a famous painter in the Song Dynasty deserves!

After that, Bianjing was destroyed, and many fine collections in the palace were acquired by the Jin. Wanyan Zonghan was famous among the Jin, so why was he only interested in Zhang Zeduan's paintings?

Shen Yue thought about it in his mind and said with a smile: "Perhaps Wu Shi can give me some advice?"

Wanyan Xiyin coughed dryly, but when he saw that Wanyan Zonghan had no objection, he finally said: "In fact, we have searched all over Bianjing, but Zhang Zeduan was nowhere to be found, and when we asked the painters in the palace, everyone had little impression of him."

Shen Yue smiled and said, "It seems like he is an unsuccessful person."

If you are poor in the busy city and have no one to care about you, if you are rich in the mountains you have distant relatives, this saying is suitable for most people in the world.

If Zhang Zeduan was appreciated by Song Huizong, why would his colleagues in the palace lack understanding of him?

Wanyan Xiyin added: "This man is a member of the Imperial Academy, with a righteous character. I heard that he has been traveling to the capital to study, and was recommended to enter the palace. Because of his superb painting skills, he is lonely, so he is liked by painters who are not popular."

Shen Yue analyzed: "If the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them."

Wanyan Xiyin nodded, "This is indeed the case. According to the palace records, Zhang Zeduan quietly left the palace shortly after presenting the Riverside Scene during the Qingming Festival and disappeared without a trace."

Having said this, Wanyan Xiyin said slowly: "This is what we know about Zhang Zeduan."

Shen Yue smiled and said, "But Lord Wushi is looking for this person seriously?"

What he didn't ask was the inside story you were looking for?

Wanyan Xiyin was silent for a moment, "Sir, could you please look at the pictures and make some comments?"

Shen Yue finally slowly unfolded the scroll, seemingly looking carefully from beginning to end, but he was quietly paying attention to the expressions of Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Zonghan.

The two people were also checking Shen Yue's expression.

Naturally, Shen Yue would not look at the two of them, but was feeling and thinking about it. They had naturally seen the painting many times before they took out the painting.

Wanyan Zonghan was rough but subtle, and did not pay attention to the Central Plains etiquette, so it was difficult for him to become interested in the Central Plains culture. However, since Wanyan Xiyin proposed to use the Central Plains etiquette to replace the customary traditions of the Jin people, he naturally had an in-depth study of the Chinese culture.

Wanyan Xiyin thinks there must be a shocking secret hidden in this picture?

What's the secret?

The Jin people were very concerned about the disappearance of Zhang Zeduan. Thinking from another angle, the real secret was not Tu, but Zhang Zeduan.

Zhang Zeduan knows the real secret of his paintings?!

When he thought of this, an image of a person suddenly flashed in Shen Yue's mind.

The man was tall and strong, with strong features, and looked like a tough guy...
