Luc Xizhi said with a smile.
"Grand Tutor!"
"Grand Tutor…"
Hong Chen was shocked.
No wonder he was able to lead the sales of the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting.
The Grand Tutor was one of the three dukes, a first-grade official. He was a true figure with real power.
Even if the current Great Gan Lord Dynasty's Emperor was powerful and promising, and the Grand Tutor was in a semi-retired state, it was still a piece of cake for him to give Hong Chen a lead and sell the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting.
"The Grand Tutor likes calligraphy and painting. I've known the Grand Tutor for many years. It shouldn't be a problem to ask him for help."”
"Speaking of which, the Grand Tutor came to this old master's residence recently and saw your calligraphy and paintings. He wanted to see you.”
"This is a good opportunity for me to introduce you to the Grand Tutor.”
" Yes." Hong Chen nodded and said," In that case, thank you, Old Master Calligraphy."”
Luc Xizhi laughed and his gaze returned to the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting. He couldn't help but feel pity.
"Sigh, if I sell the Five-clawed True Dragon Painting to the Great Gan Dynasty's royal family, it will definitely become a national treasure.”
"It's a pity that I can't look at it every day and admire it when I have nothing to do.”
" If the Sage of Calligraphy likes it, I'll draw another one and give it to you," Hong Chen said." It's to repay your kindness."”
Luc Xizhi hurriedly shook his head.”
"If the imperial family of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty finds out, I'll definitely be in big trouble.”
" You're right." Hong Chen smiled and asked," Regarding the matter of meeting the Grand Tutor, when can we do it? The sooner the better."”
"Let's go, we'll set off immediately!" Lu Xizhi stood up.”
"Xiao 'er, go and call the servants to prepare the carriage. I'll go to the Grand Tutor's residence with Scholar Hong Chen!”
Lu Qingxiao responded and went to get the servants to prepare the carriage.
Soon after, Luc Xizhi and Hong Chen boarded the carriage and headed towards Grand Tutor Li Qian's residence.
As the Grand Tutor of the Great Gan Dynasty, he was a First Rank official. Naturally, his mansion was not inferior to the Chen Residence of the Courage God Marquis.
After the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Grand Tutor's residence, a servant led Luc Xizhi and Hong Chen inside.
Among them, Lu Xizhi was also considered a regular guest, often coming to the Grand Tutor's residence as a guest.
The Grand Tutor, who had received the notice, did not see him, but his voice could be heard.
"Xizhi, what calligraphy and painting did you bring this time for me to admire?”
"However, this old man is honest and poor. I'm afraid I can't afford your calligraphy and painting.”
When Hong Chen heard this, he knew that Grand Tutor Li Qian was indeed a person who loved calligraphy and painting.
" Master Grand Tutor," Luc Xizhi said with a smile," didn't you always say that you wanted to meet Master Hong Chen in person? I've brought him here for you today."”
"What is it? Scholar Red Dust is here?"
"Hurry up and invite him over. I'll be right there!”
Not long after, Grand Tutor Li Qian rushed over from the inner chamber.
"Where is Master Red Dust?"
"Could it be that Master Red-Dust is really a ten-year-old child as the rumors say?”
Grand Tutor Li Qian was greatly shocked when he saw Hong Chen.
To be honest, after seeing Hong Chen's calligraphy, Li Qian really couldn't believe it. The calligraphy that was comparable to the attainments of the Sage of Calligraphy was actually written by a ten-year-old child!
Hong Chen bowed and said,"This junior greets the Grand Tutor Lord."”
Li Qian clicked his tongue in wonder. Sometimes he marveled, sometimes he was puzzled, and sometimes he nodded. His mood was complicated.
In the end, Li Qian patted Luc Xizhi's shoulder and shook his head.""Xizhi, the new generation will surpass the old. We are old.”
"Lord Grand Tutor, you think you're old, but I don't think I'm old."”
Li Qian laughed out loud, once again carrying a gaze of amazement and curiosity as he sized up Hong Chen, still feeling disbelief.
But Luc Xizhi had brought Scholar Red Dust himself, so Li Qian had no choice but to believe him.
Li Qian said," It's understandable that Scholar Red Dust's calligraphy and painting is more expensive than yours. He's a ten-year-old genius!"”
"I'm afraid that before you die, the title of the Sage of Calligraphy will fall on this little kid.”
"The Sage of Calligraphy is just a false praise for me, not a self-proclaimed title," said Luc Xizhi.”
"So I don't really care who the Sage of Calligraphy is.”
Li Qian clapped his hands and praised him." Xizhi, your state of mind is worthy of praise. I'm envious."”
"However, I don't think it's just a simple visit that you brought Scholar Red Dust to see me this time, right?”
Li Qian glanced at the painting in Hong Chen's hand and said as if he had sensed something.
"Lord Grand Tutor's intuition is indeed sharp."”
"I wonder what Grand Tutor thinks of this painting of the Five-clawed True Dragon?”
Hong Chen went straight to the point and unfolded the painting scroll.
When Li Qian saw the Five-Clawed True Dragon Painting, his reaction was even more exaggerated than Luc Xizhi's.
As expected of Lu Xizhi's old friend. When Li Qian saw the painting, he actually raised his hand to cover his face and burst into tears.
"When I was young, I should have been greedy for tens of thousands of taels of gold. Now, I'm so poor that I can't even afford a painting.”
Hong Chen laughed. Li Qian and Luc Xizhi were exactly the same.
Luc Xizhi patted Li Qian's shoulder comfortingly and said,""I understand how you feel."
"However, Master Red Dust didn't bring this painting to sell to you. Moreover, you can't buy it.”
Li Qian immediately stopped crying and wiped his tears. He nodded and said,"That's true."
"If I buy this [Five-clawed True Dragon Painting] and His Majesty finds out the next day, he will definitely kill me.”
"When that time comes, I'll be wise for a lifetime, but I'll be muddle-headed for a moment.”
