Chapter 199: Slim
Lin Nan quietly approached the inner hall, but heard a burst of daughter's laughter in the room, and one of the soft voices said in a low voice: "It's really hard to say, our Highness is a little bolder, and he dares to put a note on Mr. Rong Zhai's back, what is written on it?"
"What?" the women asked anxiously.
There was a small laugh in the room, and then the soft voice said, "The concubine is so polite." β
"Poof......" When her voice fell, she couldn't help laughing, and the rest of the people couldn't hold back their laughter, and they all followed her.
Lin Nan had already heard that it was the maidservant thrush of her inner sanctum, and it was talking about his own ridiculous things yesterday.
Mr. Rong Zhai's surname is Cen, and his name is text, and he is a lecturer of Chinese culture, and all princes must be taught by him. He served himself as the emperor's teacher, and he was the most upright on weekdays, never pretending, and he was extremely strict with the princes. Yesterday, Lin Nan was reprimanded by Mr. Rong Zhai because he dozed off in the hall, and he was indignant, so he wrote a note and secretly stuck it on Mr. Rong Zhai's back, and the note was written with the seven big characters "The concubine is polite".
Mr. Rong Zhai shook his head, and the appearance of patrolling back and forth with a note on his back caused all the princes to laugh, which later alarmed Yang Guang, and Lin Nan had to offer tea to Mr. Rong Zhai in front of his father, but he couldn't help but hold a grudge in his heart, but he didn't know how this matter reached the ears of the thrush.
"Ahh
He coughed, and the women got up and didn't dare to laugh anymore. Seeing Lin Nan walking in from outside the hall, his face was a little gloomy, and Thrush knew that he had heard his words. Suddenly he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at him, and he was really a little flustered.
Say. Where did you hear that?" Lin Nan asked as he walked over to the soft collapse and sat down gently, glaring at the thrush.
The thrush's face is swollen and red. Raising his head slightly, he glanced at Lin Nan, and seeing that he was still the same color, he was a little panicked, bit his lip and whispered: "The thrush knows that he is wrong, please punish His Highness, as for this, the thrush just hears it everywhere, but it can't be taken seriously." β
Lin Nan was not annoyed when she saw that she intended to shield that person. He knew that this thrush was a sentient person, and most of them listened to what the palace maid said, so he had fun in front of his sisters, and he (8) dΗng (8) diΗn (8) small (8) said, .2β 3.os_ β(); I didn't really blame her, I just wanted to scare her.
"Come here. Lin Nan called coldly, and the thrush walked over gently with small steps, she had never been punished since she had served Lin Nan, but she knew that the so-called companion of the king was like a companion tiger, and the royal people were the most difficult to serve. And what status will little girls like them have here?
Syllable!
Lin Nan gently patted the thrush's little face, and then pulled her to the soft collapse, hugged her in his arms and said, "Do you dare to gossip about me in the future?" The thrush laughed again, knowing that today's beating had escaped. I felt Lin Nan's face come over again, and hurriedly turned my body to the side slightly, and said softly: "The slave doesn't dare." β
See here. The other two palace maids standing on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Nan is a stealing cat, and Thrush is the prettiest of them all. Usually you have to be pestered by him a few times, and the man will still have the intention of punishing people at this time?
Lin Nan put the hand around Thrush's waist on her waist. Untied the small green onion and white slanted silk jacket with silver edges, the thrush hurriedly pressed his arm, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I have prepared a cold and sour plum soup for you, while there is still some coolness, I will bring it to you quickly." β
"Well, let's go. Lin Nan let go of her gently, the thrush breathed a sigh of relief, tightened his little jacket, and went to the table to get a small jar, spoonful by spoon in the bowl, and soon came over with a small bowl.
Lin Nan stretched out his hand to take it, scooped a spoonful, only to feel that the ice was cool and refreshing, and the whole body was comfortable, there was no refrigerator here, and there were very few foods to go to the summer, if it was not for the royal ice cellar, it would be even more difficult to eat this sour plum soup with ice.
Seeing that he put the bowl down after eating two bites, the thrush hurriedly smiled and asked, "How does it taste?"
Lin Nan diΗndiΗn head said: "It's okay, you guys can eat too." β
Although Lin Nan is easy-going, he is the master after all, and the thrush girls shook their heads when they heard the help: "The slave doesn't dare." β
Looking at the respectful appearance of the girls, Lin Nan couldn't help but pouted and said, "If I tell you to eat, you can eat, and you don't need to listen to others here." β
Several women were overjoyed, and thanked each of them, and each of them took a bowl, although this sour plum soup should be poured out after a while, but the women did not dare to take more, and it was enough to take two spoonfuls shallowly.
Lin Nan turned around and lay down gently on the soft floor, took out the booklet from his arms, and slowly flipped through it.
To say that the things contained in this booklet are ordinary, and the pictures are very blurry, compared to those that have been seen on the Internet in later generations, it is really incomparable, but in today's plane, it is not easy to find such things, after all, it hinders weathering, many of them have been destroyed, and only a very small part has been handed down.
The thrush girls had not seen the clues at first, but when they looked carefully, they all lowered their eyes, and their cheeks gradually turned red, at this time Lin Nan had turned to the last page, and then closed the booklet and threw it aside, and said in his mouth: "The people on this painting are also ugly." β
The thrush looked at the other two with a smile, and the three palace maids didn't know what to say, and then they suddenly heard the eunuch outside the palace summons: "Your Royal Highness has arrived." β
"Starling is here!" Lin Nanwu sat up from the soft couch, and the soft couch shook twice and turned over, so frightened that he quickly grabbed it, and at this time a figure had already flashed into the palace door.
"Starling brother, you're here, and the younger brother is about to go to Wei'an Palace to see you. Lin Nan greeted him as he spoke, only to see a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a slightly wide white robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, and his steps were very light, quite amorous.
This person is Yang Guang's eighth son, Yang Ping, born to Nalan Guifei, he is very good at poetry and is quite romantic, but he usually has a close relationship with Lin Nan, and his relationship with the princes is also very good, but he is a popular figure. It's just that there is a faint darkness between his eyebrows, and his eyes are also a little dim, obviously overindulgent.
See you in two. first politely looked at Yang Ping's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping. Lin Nan waved his hand lightly and ordered a few maids to go down. Only then did he pull Yang Ping to sit down and asked, "Starling, what do you want to find the younger brother?"
Yang Ping smiled, patted Lin Nan quite intimately, and said mysteriously: "Fifteenth brother, I know that you are also extremely proficient in music and rhythm, so I am going to find you to see a lively scene." β
"What's the excitement?" asked Lin Nanqi.
Yang Ping shook off the folding fan with a snap, looked at him with a smile and said, "Have you ever heard of Su Xishui?"
Lin Nan frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Is it the Su Xishui who is known as a daughter who is hard to find?"
"Yes, yes, that's him. Yang Ping closed the folding fan and said with bright eyes: "It's this Su Xishui." I heard that tomorrow I will be performing a song in Mingyufang. β
"Oh?" Lin Nan frowned slightly, only to hear Yang Ping continue: "If you want to talk about the tune of this Su Xishui's qin tune, tsk, no matter what it is, it is a must, even our husband Yuxiao Jushi also praises her the most, but I don't know how this face looks, whether it is as moving as the song she sings." β
Lin Nan listened to his three words and did not leave his bank, and sneered slightly in his heart. But it was really surprising to think that this Su Xishui was willing to come to a place like Mingyufang to offer a song.
The reason why this Su Xishui is known as a thousand gold is hard to find. is because although this person is extremely good at the piano, he never shows up lightly, and he is very arrogant, and there are only one or two talents in the world who have entered her eyes. Even Lin Nan's husband, the Nine-Fingered Qin Demon Jade Xiao Jushi, was not worth mentioning in her eyes. And the only time she dedicated the song was to compete with Yuxiao Jushi on the top of Huashan, and her song "Nine Days of Sorrow" broke Yuxiao's fingers and never moved the piano again. Therefore, Lin Nan and the others now follow Yuxiao Jushi to practice the piano and listen to him dictate, but they have never seen him play music. I often regret it.
"Hey, how's that. I'm tempted. Yang Ping smiled maliciously, and Lin Nan felt that his handsome face suddenly became extremely obscene. He knew that what this Yang Ping coveted was not Su Xishui's piano skills but her appearance, but this Su Xishui had covered her face with a white veil since her debut and never showed her face, so no one knew what her appearance was, but as long as she listened to her voice, no one really wanted to think that she would be an ugly person. Of course, Lin Nan has always believed that the reason why this woman covered her face was because she was afraid of ruining others' good impression of her. You must know that for women, sex and art are generally combined, and people often like women who are both beautiful in color and art, even if the art is a little worse, it is harmless. But if a person with an ugly or mediocre appearance is excellent, even if the piano skills are excellent, it will always make people feel extremely regretful.
"Wouldn't you like to see her face tomorrow?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.
Yang Pingtian was mysterious, knocked on his palm with a folding fan and said, "Don't you want to see it?"
Lin Nan was silent, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
After laughing, Yang Ping hugged Lin Nan and said mysteriously: "Recently, I asked someone to find a painting, and I want to invite the fifteenth brother to go to my palace to appreciate and appreciate it, it happens that there is a barrel of grape wine transported from the Nanchen Palace in my palace, I don't think the fifteenth brother will refuse this wonderful thing of drinking and appreciating the painting, right?"
Lin Nan looked at his appearance, and knew that it must not be a good painting, but when he thought of the grape wine from the Western Regions, his lips suddenly became a little dry, there was no delicious drink in this plane, and the grape wine in this Nanchen Palace was not something that could be drunk at ordinary times.
"In this case, the little brother is better to be respectful than to obey his fate?" Lin Nan slightly hugged his fists, Yang Ping was full of spring, and pulled him out of Changxin Palace.
Wei'an Palace is located at the northwest foot of the Sui Palace, and the courtyard is much smaller than that of Changxin Palace, but the maids in the palace are all beautiful and beautiful, and they are all about sixteen or seventeen years old, and they are almost the same in size. It's just that the two little eunuchs at the door are a little immature, maybe a year or two younger than Lin Nan, and their voices are quite sharp and harsh.
Yang Ping took two luminous cups made of white jade, ordered a maid to pour wine on the side, and he took a painting scroll from the step and handed it to Lin Nandao: "The fifteenth brother is also an expert in painting, show me how this painting is." At this, his eyes wandered, and he continued, "See if it's a fake." β
Lin Nan diΗndiΗn head, stretched out his hand to connect the painting shaft, untied the tether, and slowly unfolded.
What catches the eye is a picture of a maid with thick ink and light colors, the beauty on the painting is lifelike, the lines are outlined very clearly, and the end is a good painting. It's just that this painting has neither a signature nor a square seal, and I don't know who made it.
Lin Nan looked at it for a while. Weiwei diΗn head said: "The painting is a good painting, but I don't know who made it?"
Yang Ping smiled dumbly. Put down the wine glass and said, "Doesn't the fifteenth brother know this picture of the maid of Huan Hou?"
"Huanhou maiden picture?" Lin Nan was taken aback, and then looked at the painting again. Huan Hou is the nickname of Zhang Fei, the general under him in the Three Kingdoms plane, which shows that this painting is Zhang Fei's real handiwork.
He had never heard of Zhang Fei's ink treasure painting left, and only a pair of Zhang Fei's inscriptions were seen, but it was also made by later generations, and this time Yang Ping actually said that his painting was Zhang Fei's real handiwork, and he was surprised, Lin Nan couldn't help but have doubts. I couldn't help but ask, "Such a rare thing, but I don't know where the starling got it from?"
Yang Ping was colorful, patted Lin Nan's shoulder and said, "If the fifteenth brother likes it." Take it. β
Nothing to do. If this painting is really Zhang Fei's authentic work, it is a priceless treasure, although Yang Ping is generous, but it is not as wide as this. Lin Nan didn't know what he was thinking, so he hurriedly excused himself and said, "How can this be done." Yang Ping looked at his appearance, his eyes were shining, and he suddenly smiled: "Didn't the fifteenth brother really know that this painting was just a fake?"
"Fake?" Lin Nan looked at him in amazement, and scolded in his heart: "No wonder you kid is so generous." It turned out to be a fake to fool Lao Tzu. β
At this time, Yang Ping continued on the side: "Although this painting is a fake, it is enough to be fake and real, if it weren't for everyone, I am afraid that there would be no clues." β
How could Lin Nan not hear the meaning of his words, this Yang Ping has a wide range of calligraphy and painting. Although Lin Nan is also proficient in one or two, he is not comparable to him, and this discussion seems to be Yang Ping's intention to show off in front of him. to show his so-called demeanor.
Lin Nan scolded in his heart. There was a look of "admiration" in his eyes and he said: "Thanks to the starling brother who refers to diΗn, the younger brother has been taught." β
Yang Ping was satisfied. Haha laughed, patted Lin Nan's shoulder and said proudly: "Does the fifteenth brother know who made this fake?"
Lin Nan could also come up with the painting on his toes as his own. But on the surface, he was contemplative, frowning and pondering: "This...... Forgive the little brother for being clumsy. Please also refer to diΗn one or two. β
Yang Ping was already a little fluttering at this time, he spent half a month making such a picture of a maid, just to save face in front of the brothers, and now he was praised by Lin Nan so much, he was satisfied, and said with a casual smile: "The fifteenth brother has a good reputation, and this is just Brother Yu's graffiti." β
Lin Nan snorted secretly, but he couldn't help but say with "surprise" in his eyes: "It turned out to be a starling magic pen, no wonder, no wonder." β
Yang Ping waved his hand, took the painting aside, raised his glass and said, "Thanks to the praise of the fifteenth brother, this glass of wine is indispensable for Brother Yu." β
"Starling is polite, come, do it. Lin Nan raised his glass at the same time, and the two drank it together.
Putting down the wine glass, Yang Ping's face had regained calm, and he sighed lightly and said: "I don't know if the fifteenth brother has heard of it, yesterday a minister wrote to ask his father to establish an heir, but the father did not pay attention to it, since the eldest brother went, the seat of the East Palace has been shelved for more than ten years, and the father has always valued the fifteenth brother the most. β
Yang Ping has a modest appearance, but his heart is very vicious, he has actually always coveted the position of the crown prince of the Great Sui, but Yang Guang only attaches great importance to Lin Nan and treats all other princes equally. It can be seen that most of the prince's position belongs to Lin Nan, and Yang Ping is on good terms with Lin Nan on the surface, but secretly he tries his best to unite the rest of the princes to isolate Lin Nan.
Lin Nan had already known that Yang Ping had one thing on the surface and one thing behind his back, so he had been on guard against him for a long time, and when he heard him say this today, he knew that he was demonstrating with himself and wanted to use the princes to suppress himself.
In this palace, you have to watch out for anyone all the time, the so-called family affection is penniless here, as long as you take the slightest mistake, there will be a group of people vying to push you into the abyss. Although Lin Nan was very disgusted with these intrigues, he couldn't help himself when he was in them, so he had to hide his true heart very deeply.
I saw him quietly take a sip of wine, and then sighed and said: "My father is in the prime of life, and he has the world in his heart, so he is afraid that my generation and other brothers will kill each other, so he is not in a hurry to establish an heir." Yang Yu I am uninhibited by nature, I don't know anything about Anbang's statecraft, this master of the East Palace can't do it, Starling Wen Taowu is ten times better than me, if it takes time, I will be valued by my father, why worry about the position of the prince next to others?"
Yang Ping is not a three-year-old child, he sneered in his heart when he heard his words, and said casually: "The fifteenth brother is serious. Brother Yu is only willing to place his affection on this landscape, flowers and birds, as for the position of this prince. But there is not the slightest interest. β
Lin Nan didn't want to entangle with him anymore and yawned. got up and said: "I've been bothering in the Starling Palace for a long time, and there are still some trivial matters in the Junior Brother Palace, so I'll leave." β
"That being the case, the starling won't keep you longer. Yang Ping said as he got up and sent him out of the palace.
When they came to the palace gate, the two said goodbye to each other, and when they saw Lin Nan leave the courtyard gate, a wicked sneer suddenly crossed Yang Ping's face.
"Yang Yu, heh. Time is still long, let's go here and see, the master of the East Palace is none other than me. β
β¦β¦
Back in his bedroom, Thrush handed a handkerchief to Lin Nan, only saying that it was handed in by Xiaoluzi from the outside, but he didn't know who sent it to the palace.
Lin Nan opened the apricot diamond-colored handkerchief in his hand, and a faint fragrance of his daughter's body penetrated into his heart, and the handkerchief was embroidered with four lines of graceful fly-headed small letters with red thread. A little limerick poem reads both playful and pathetic.
Two or three meals a day, Sijun four or five o'clock.
Only said six or seven days, who knows the nine days.
I don't dare to think about it, I can't see it.
It is difficult for a concubine. Lang Jun doesn't care?
Seeing this poem, Lin Nan didn't know who gave this handkerchief after reading it, and immediately ordered the people outside to prepare the car. He's going to leave the palace.
β¦β¦
Slenders sat in the tub with squinted eyes, several wearing brocade coats. The girl who sowed in Xiangxiang lowered her head. Hanging his hands, he stood beside her. From time to time, someone secretly used the corners of their eyes to fat her, and there was envy and jealousy in their eyes.
"Has the handkerchief been delivered?" asked Xian Xian faintly.
"It was delivered, and it was picked up by a little eunuch in His Highness's palace. A girl next to her replied respectfully.
"Hmm......" Slender bowed slightly, then stroked her forearm, and suddenly flashed those starry eyes in her mind, she just wanted to see him now, fell into his arms, and didn't care about anything else.
Sing the heart of the willow building, and dance the peach blossom fan at the bottom of the wind.
Xian Xian was also a child of an official family, but his father was framed and died by touching the pillar. She joined the teaching department at the age of eight, and was sold to Mei Xianglou at the age of fifteen, becoming the number one brand here.
Xian Xian is not only proficient in poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting, but also has superb singing and dancing skills. Moreover, because the adoptive mother **** is righteous and bold, and knows elegance, most of the guests of Meixianglou are literati and honest and loyal ministers. However, this group of so-called talented people and celebrities are not worth mentioning in the eyes of Xian Xian, although they also gather in Mei Xiang Lou all day long to talk about poetry and lyrics, prostitutes and have fun, but the only person who can become a guest of Xian Xian's curtain is only one.
Originally, there were also a large number of merry men with heads and faces who wanted to comb the slender ones, and many of them even paid a generous gift money to the bustard's mother. But what they didn't expect was that the bustard mother actually returned all the gift money. It wasn't until later that they found out who the guest was that no one dared to beat her again......
The slender mind had already flown to Java at this time, and all that could not be driven away in his mind was his shadow. He was very handsome and gentle with himself, and as long as he thought of the sweet warmth when the two of them were together, she seemed to be drunk. It's just that she doesn't dare to ask for anything, she is a dignified prince of the Sui Dynasty, how can she be worthy of a lowly person? Even so, thinking too much will only cause sadness.
Ay...... She let out a long sigh, and then she only heard a squeak, and the door of the pavilion was gently opened, and no one was surprised, because there was only one person who could enter this room so easily.
Slender hands rubbed a crumpled crump of jasmine in the water, crumpled it, and then raised her head and smiled at the door.
"Negative thief, you're finally here!"
Lin Nan opened the folding fan with a snap, shook it gently, and frowned helplessly: "I came a long time ago, but I was afraid that you would scold me, so I didn't dare to come in for a long time." β
"Bah, thief, if I hadn't sent something to you, why would you have come? Shouldn't you scold me when she sees me but thinks about others?" said Xian Xian, throwing a fragment of jasmine at Lin Nan, who didn't dodge and let it hit him. Then he shook his head and said to a few maids next to him, "You all go down." β
"Yes. A few maids stood for a long time, eager to rest. As soon as he heard his instructions, he hurriedly agreed.
"You...... Why didn't you come to see me for so long. Two blushes rose on her slender face.
Lin Nan didn't answer her words, as if he had seen it stupid.
The slender face was even redder, and she whispered: "Negative thief, there are no flowers on people's bodies, what are you staring at?"
Lin Nan sighed and muttered, "You really look like her." β
Xian Xian listened and said, "She, she, who is she!"
Lin Nan shook his head: "She...... She is the girl of my dreams. β
Xian Xian glared at him, blushed and said, "Your mouth is sweeter than honey, so people can't think of you." She also laughed and laughed, and her look of shame and annoyance looked indescribably moving......
One is a suave young man, the other is a delicate and affectionate Qinglou girl, the two are happy, it is the crazy bee who falls in love with the fragrant flower, how can Lin Nan still hold back......
β¦β¦
After the wind and rain, Xian Xian bit his earrings lightly, and whispered: "Who told you not to come to see me for so long?" I really want to bite off your ear, I can only borrow ......" She didn't say the following words, her face was already red like the slanting sun outside the distant mountains, she was really spoiled by Lin Nan, and only in front of Lin Nan did she dare to be so presumptuous, even if he was the prince.
Fortunately, Lin Nan has long been used to it, such a struggle is a kind of fun for him, the reason why he had to redeem Xianxian regardless of his identity is because she was born beautiful and delicate, and secondly, because she really looks like Su Bing, sometimes when she doesn't pay attention, he even thinks it's the same person. (To be continued.) )
