109 Chapter 109
When Yoo Yeon received the letter, it was already the end of March, and it was about to be April.
The letter was a thick one, and there was a willow rattan box along with the letter, It was not heavy to carry, Liu Yan put the rattan box aside and opened the letter first.
Xiao Xing's handwriting in the letter is no longer immature at the beginning, but clear and tactful, thanks to the Taifu grandfather to Xiao Xing to find the previous dynasty of everyone's calligraphy, but compared to the calligraphy of everyone's powerful strokes, Xiao Xing's words are not only free and easy, but the pen is round and lovely, and the words are always a little chubby and cute.
The fifth prince laughed at Xiao Xing's words just like her person, but Liu Yan scolded her back.
"Xiao Xing's words are very beautiful, don't pay attention to him. ”
The young man who had long known his thoughts was choked and didn't dare to speak again, lest he be scolded by his beloved little girl again, but Xiao Xing was very unconvinced in her heart, and always wanted to practice her words to be thinner.
It's a pity that until Xiao Xingren lost weight like a strip, her words were still the same as always.
Looking at Xiao Xing's words, Liu Yan's mood is obviously much better, Xiao Xing in the letter chattered a lot, the embankment in the south of the Yangtze River, the high rushing river, the willow bank is green, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the pavilion in the smoke and rain, the oil paper umbrella outside the building, the passer-by and the bluestone road, the sound of horses' hooves, delicious snacks, and the fragrance of the earliest tea buds in early spring......
It seems that through the letter paper, you can see the hazy scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a little more envious in her heart, although her family was strictly upbringing, she still went out with her friends to play, but when she went out, she also went to the mountains on the outskirts of the city at most, and a long trip like Xiaoxing had never been before.
Looking down again, Xiao Xing has written that they arrived at Jinguang Temple, passing by the vendors at the foot of the mountain, stepping on the seven hundred and twenty steps of Jinguang Temple, after entering the door, there is a huge incense burner, it is said that it was cast by the famous casting master Shi Huan of the previous dynasty, there are a thousand holes on the incense burner, full of incense, and after the aroma rises, it will turn into a huge lotus platform......
There is also the Three World Palace, which seeks to survive in this life and the next life, and the delicious vegetarian food that you can't wait to swallow with your tongue.
Looking at the description of food in the letter, Liu Yan couldn't help laughing, as if she could see the cute little girl being extremely intoxicated with the food, and just after Su Zhai, Xiao Xing said the peerless mural on the Golden Light Pagoda.
"Sister Liu Yan, I know that you love painting the most, so I rubbed a copy of the murals on the wall of Jinguang Temple and put them in the rattan box that came with the letter, you remember to see it, I guess you will like it!"
Xiao Xing's letter has been read for most of the time, and there is still a small half behind, but Liu Yan can't help but stretch out her hand to the rattan box.
The mural of the Golden Light Pagoda!
The previous dynasty was a magical dynasty, in the early and middle dynasties there were no peerless famous figures, but at the end of the period, there were countless talented people, such as the painting saint, such as the casting master Shi Huan, such as the ghost hand painter who painted the murals on the Golden Light Pagoda, if these people appeared together in the prosperous era, it must be an incomparably brilliant scene, enough to leave a name in the history books, and spread through the ages.
However, they were born in the last dynasty.
In the late period of the last dynasty, the emperor was mediocre, and the people were not happy, if it was an ordinary situation, at this time, someone would have rebelled against this chaotic dynasty, this person was either a family or a foreign insult, or a low-level common man or an evil sect, after all, it would not be a decent character.
But I never expected that before the previous dynasty was chaotic, the royal family would be reversed.
The grandfather of the Seventh Highness, that is, the emperor's own father, personally pulled the flag of rebellion and cut down the whole family, and also changed the dynasty, ending the chaotic previous dynasty.
Countless people who want to pick up leaks in troubled times are dumbfounded, they want to fool the people or something, but the emperor's father is too powerful and too iron-blooded, treating the people with spring-like gentleness, facing the coldness of foreign enemies like the cold wind, he personally robbed the country with iron hooves, and did not collect the land, that is, to grab money and materials, and return to the dynasty to distribute dividends to the people, such an emperor is definitely the first one.
So the chaotic early days of the founding of the country were miraculously settled, and the people were originally poor and ate the soil, but they quickly became rich by fighting the autumn breeze of other countries, which is also the main reason why other countries later followed the Jin Dynasty as the upper country.
I can't help it, I'm scared!
In fact, this ghost hand painter of Jinguang Temple, if he lives longer, even if he lives for another three years, he can wait until the ancestor unveils the rod and ends the last dynasty, but unfortunately this painter did not wait, if he waits, will his painting school be able to have successors?
But it's useless to think so much now, Liu Yan carefully opened the painting scroll, and the first time she knew that this was the mural of Jinguang Temple, Liu Yan had already worshiped these painting scrolls.
And sure enough, when she saw with her own eyes what kind of magic the famous murals of Jinguang Temple were, Liu Yan was so excited that goosebumps were about to rise.
The scene of hell is close in front of her eyes, as if it is not a painting, but a vivid fire, burning and licking the soul of sin, and after appreciating the shock of the painting, Yoo Yeon began to study the technique of the painting.
The interplay of light and darkness under the curling flames, the color of the shadows, the overall composition, and the tip of the iceberg that can be peeked at in the details all deeply attracted Liu Yan.
So Yoo Yeon began to retreat.
On this side, Liu Yan was thinking about painting behind closed doors, and on the other side, the palace and the Li family also received letters from the children.
Although a few years have passed, the years have obviously favored this beautiful woman very much, and have not left any mark on the body of the concubine Niangniang, but because the children have grown up and lived in the outer courtyard, the concubine Niangniang is very bored, and she is even more addicted to the game of leaf cards.
In addition to the leaf card, it is said that the Jin card that spread from the Jin Dynasty to the Eagle Country is also a very fun game, and it is even about to replace the leaf card and become the new favorite of the girls.
Who called the game invented by Xiao Xing called "Fighting Aristocrats", which is very attractive?
And this game needs fewer people, as long as there are three people, not to mention anything else in their palace, that is, there are many people, get together, not to mention two tables, three tables and four tables are also everything.
The rules of the leaf card are complicated, and this is much simpler, so many women who don't usually like to play cards quickly fell in love with this game.
The emperor also likes to play, but as an emperor, although the prince has grown up and can participate in political affairs, the emperor is still as busy as ever!
Who told the prince to travel abroad and not return on the grounds that he wanted to see the Jin Dynasty and lay the foundation for taking charge of the government in the future?
It's just that the prince not only looks like his grandfather, but also acts very much like his grandfather, and when he encounters some injustices outside, because of the Shang Fang sword given by the emperor, he cuts a large string of them, and there is no ambiguity.
This includes corrupt officials, bullying landlords, and people who beat people to death and don't pay for their lives...... There are even bad women who covet the prince's beauty, and the prince quickly married her off after teaching her a lesson.
Of course, in addition to these, the prince also did some unjust things.
For example, I pit merchants from other countries to the people...... Although the prince knew the truth of the matter, as a prince of the country who protected his shortcomings, the prince chose to ...... When I didn't see it.
Poor foreign businessman simply aggrieved.
The emperor is not very worried about the prince, the prince's own military force is superb, and he also has a large number of guards, and there are hidden guards hidden in the depths, and there are dark spots set up by the imperial court along the way, although there are not many people inside, but there are still dozens of people in a county.
It may seem like little, but when it comes up, it's by no means a small number.
So the emperor was very relieved about the crown prince.
As for the other sons, now the eldest one is already sharing his worries for him, no, no, no, it is to fill in the darkness for him, and he will become a person in which department he enters, and he will not be soft when he gets up, and he will simply be sad about the emperor's hair.
And the little ones are all by his side, except for Xiao Qi.
Thinking of Xiao Qi, I think of the former psychological shadow Lord Yuan, although he is a little stunned by Lord Yuan, but Lord Yuan is still very concerned, he is old, I don't know if Xiao Qi has taken care of him.
It just so happened that Xiao Qi came to write at this time.
It's just for the concubine.
The emperor was very jealous of this situation, why didn't Xiao Qi write to him, but his son didn't see him for a long time, and he really missed it very much, so he could only endure the vinegar and take the letter aggrievedly after the concubine read the letter.
In the letter, Xiao Qi did not write much about the scenery of Jiangnan like Xiao Xing, but more about the customs along the way, and as the son of the concubine, His Royal Highness Qi obviously knew his mother's preferences very well, so he brought not only the latest style of dress in Jiangnan, but also the latest color of satin, as well as the unique weapon in Jiangnan - willow whip.
Although it is called a willow whip, it is not made of willow, but made of animal fur, but just shaped like a willow leaf.
The concubine was also very happy to see these gifts, looked at the beautiful dress and put it aside, and then picked up the willow whip and snapped twice.
But though there is a whip, there is no one who tries the whip!
So the emperor was looking at the letter, when he heard a strange sound in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw the beautiful eyes of the concubine looking at him.
The emperor's waist is about to be crispy.
It's just that before the emperor could send an evening invitation to Concubine Ai, he heard Concubine Ai's tactful voice ringing in his ears.
"Your Majesty, can you accompany Wanwan to try the whip?"
"Okay...... "Okay, you look good and say anything!"
By the time the stunned emperor finally reacted to what he had promised, he was already not good.
But the concubine smiled, looked at the emperor, and slowly raised her hand.
