605 men's minds, don't guess

Liu Dongshan couldn't go under the knife for a while, but he didn't worry about technical things, only creativity.

The court painter has seen the portrait of Liu Dongshan painted for him, which is lifelike and vivid on the paper, especially the eyes, which are smart and expressive. This kind of painter, even the most skilled painter, is nothing more than that.

Liu Dongshan didn't have self-confidence, and the carving was even better than the painter, so he hesitated. And for an inkstone carver, this is undoubtedly the most fatal thing.

Once the heart hesitates, the hand that catches the knife will be unstable. If the wavering heart is directly reflected in the work, then the work will fail.

Li Banxia saw that Liu Dongshan was in a predicament, and of course he hoped to think of a way for him. But to be honest, she didn't know anything about carving, and she wasn't a very creative person. At most, he can only hope to give Liu Dongshan some inspiration, but after all, he still has to figure out his own way.

"What Hou Ye wants is not to convey the gods, so does he want something else, well, something that everyone also ignores by himself."

Li Banxia tried to say.

"Why do you say that, Banxia?" In Liu Dongshan's view, although Li Banxia does not know how to carve, his ideas have always been sharper than others, and he has always hit the key points.

"You see, this painter is so good at painting, but he still can't meet the requirements of Master Hou. It can be seen that what he is pursuing is not, by the way, Dongshan, what is the name of the concubine of the Hou Ye, do you know? "It's really awkward to always love concubines and love concubines.

"I don't know about this, but I heard the person who sent the painting mention it once, and it seems to be called Mrs. Yi."

"Madame Yi. That Hou Ye's original match. Is it still alive? "Don't blame Li Banxia for gossiping. It's just that if you want to understand a relationship, it is also important to cultivate the soil of the relationship and the environment in which you live.

"There is no hostess in the Hou Mansion so far, although this Mrs. Yi is the concubine of the Hou Ye, but the affairs of the Hou Mansion are all decided by Mrs. Yi. That's all I know, but I don't know much else. ”

The information is too limited, and many things are difficult to judge. Some things are just Li Banxia's conjectures, and there is no basis in facts. If only someone could help. It would be nice to provide them with more information about this Hou Ye.

Although the engraving technique is exquisite, what is behind each technique is the insight and knowledge of the world. In the past, every time Dongshan completed a work, he spent a lot of time thinking about it, and he also tried various solutions.

This time, the employer's situation is special, and little information about him is known, so it is no wonder that Dongshan feels embarrassed.

The two of them saw that there was no progress in things, and Li Banxia was also tired, so they simply went to bed first and continued to think about it when they got up tomorrow. Get some sleep, or brainstorm. You have an idea.

I don't know if the brain hole is wide open, but good things like pie in the sky still happen from time to time. What they want most. And he brought them something.

Just when Liu Dongshan was in distress, Zhan Yang from the capital sent a letter. The two pages were full of information about this Hou Ye, and he told Liu Dongshan what he knew and could say.

"Guard Zhan was thoughtful, and knew that I would definitely be bothered by Lord Hou's entrustment at this time, so he immediately asked someone to bring this letter."

"Oh, I'll see." Li Banxia took the envelope from Liu Dongshan's hand and looked at it as if he had bitten a piece of cake.

"Well, my God, Brother Zhan even knows these things, and he really can't underestimate the ability of the person who solves the case. This kind of insight and information gathering power is no less than that of the most seasoned private investigator. "What Li Banxia actually wanted to say was that he didn't expect Brother Zhan to look serious, and he also had gossip factors in his body.

If Zhan Yang was here, he would have heard Li Banxia's heart, and he would have roared angrily: Who is he doing this for, he even told her about this kind of people's sesame mung beans, not just thinking that it would help them and his wife, but also looking at his jokes and looking for a fight!

Li Banxia was overjoyed to see it, not because the content of the letter was funny, on the contrary, the content of the letter was not funny at all. She laughed because, even with all her imagination, she couldn't imagine Zhan Yang's look when he wrote about these things.

Li Banxia kept laughing, but Liu Dongshan was glaring at her.

"Well, what's wrong?" Li Banxia almost laughed, but he didn't forget to ask.

"Brother Zhan helped us like this, and you still laughed at him, if Brother Zhan knew, how upset would you be?"

"What's the matter, Brother Zhan won't care." The more Li Banxia thought about it, the more he found Zhan Yang interesting. But his heart, Liu Dongshan and Li Banxia are in mind.

Few people knew about this matter, but Hou Ye knew about Dongshan from Brother Zhan, and naturally knew that Hou Ye intended to ask Dongshan to complete the inkstone.

In addition, in addition to official business, Zhan Yang and Hou Ye also have some personal relationships. Yu Houye's situation is also very auspicious. After hearing about his decision from Hou Ye, Zhan Yang knew that Liu Dongshan might have some trouble, so he did everything he could to help him.

"Brother Zhan said in the letter that it has been three years since the death of Marquis An's original wife, and Mrs. Yi was brought into the mansion by her two years ago. An Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou Ye are childhood sweethearts, and they have a very good relationship. After getting married, the husband sings and the wife follows, and the piano is harmonious. Mrs. Hou Ye has been frail since she was a child, and she takes medicine all the year round, and Hou Ye never abandons her, does not accept concubines, does not seek pleasure, and always accompanies this lady. Until two years ago, when his wife died, the Hou Ye was depressed for a long time, and he never stepped out of the Hou Mansion for a whole year. ”

"This Marquis An is really an infatuated person." Liu Dongshan sighed.

Li Banxia also nodded, although it was only a few lines, it was difficult to describe that kind of feeling. But from Zhan Yang's words, as well as his occasional emotion and words, you can also know how embarrassing the relationship between Hou Ye An and Mrs. Hou Ye is.

Li Banxia continued to look down, and the back of the letter introduced the story of Mrs. Anhou. A friend of Hou Ye An saw that he was too depressed and didn't want him to continue to miss his deceased wife, so she happened to be looking for joy in the building, and she found a woman who looked and behaved similarly to Mrs. Hou Ye.

That friend made the decision and gave this woman to An Houye. After seeing the woman's face, Hou Ye An was shocked, and secretly felt that his deceased wife had returned to his side again, so he put all his feelings and favor on this Mrs. Yi.

Mrs. Yi knew that in the heart of the Hou Ye, she was just a shadow of the original wife. But she never complained, nor did she resent, on the contrary, she was moved by Hou Ye's true feelings for Mrs. Hou Ye. The woman in the wind ~ moon place would not have said feelings, but Mrs. Yi really fell in love with An Houye. even did not hesitate to sacrifice his flower-like life for An Houye.

This is really a story that is too old, and there is nothing new in the story, but only those who have experienced it can feel the selflessness and helplessness of this feeling.

Li Banxia and Liu Dongshan finally understood why the painter's portrait was so expressive, and Hou Ye still felt that there was a deficiency in it. Because what Hou Ye wants to see is not Mrs. Yi, nor Mrs. Yi's talking eyes, but through Mrs. Yi, to review the relationship between him and Mrs. Hou Ye.

In the heart of the Hou Ye, there is only his original wife from beginning to end.

This is a cruel fact, especially for Mrs. Yi. Even if you lose your life for your beloved, you can't save a single bit in his heart. This Marquis An, I don't know whether to say that he is infatuated or ruthless.

After reading this letter, Liu Dongshan and Li Banxia were a little heavy, more for the sake of Mrs. Yi's unrepentant, selfless and pitiful woman.

They couldn't help but ask the same question: In the heart of An Houye, is there really no intention for Mrs. An?

Zhan Yang said so, but he still had reservations in his words, just like Liu Dongshan and Li Banxia.

Although this is someone else's business, after reading it, people will inevitably have such a contradictory idea in their hearts: whether they want to see an An Hou Ye who has no regrets about his original match, or Hou Ye who is moved by a kind and unapologetic woman and his heart is gradually wavering.

Either way, it can't be consummated, and there are regrets.

I'm afraid that even Hou Ye himself can't answer this question.

But they have to understand this problem at this time. It's not that they're troublesome, it's not that they're not looking for trouble. Li Banxia and Liu Dongshan are very busy, speculating about other people's minds, and to be honest, neither of them is happy, but now they have to figure it out.

Because this is directly related to whether Liu Dongshan's inkstone can impress Hou Ye, Hou Ye himself can't find out the answer, and he may have to find out for him through Liu Dongshan.

Hou Ye An may not have discovered his intentions at this time, but in his subconscious, isn't he thinking like this? No matter how good Liu Dongshan's inkstone is, if it can't fit the Hou Ye's wishes, I'm afraid it will be in vain.

Before receiving this letter, Liu Dongshan didn't know how to go under the knife, and after receiving this letter, Liu Dongshan was even more inaccurate. It's not that there are no ideas, it's that there are too many ideas. Once there is a deviation in the idea, the result is naturally a thousand miles away.

"Higashiyama, what are you going to do?" Li Banxia tapped his head with his fingers, "Are you planning to portray Mrs. Yi, or the original wife of Marquis An?" ”

portrays Mrs. Yi, at least to meet the superficial requirements of An Houye. If Marquis An really longs for this Mrs. Yi in his heart, he should portray it well. And once the original wife is portrayed, it's okay if you guess correctly, but if you guess wrong, it's a complete digression, and it also commits the taboo of the Hou Ye.

It's not easy to choose between the two. Not to mention what happened after this, no matter who was portrayed, having a superb painter in front of him was a huge challenge for Liu Dongshan.

Liu Dongshan glanced at Li Banxia, and then at the bamboo forest outside the door, his eyes were empty, as if he was thinking about something.

Li Banxia tilted her head, looking at Dongshan's appearance, she didn't seem to have to bother anymore, he would have a way. (To be continued......)
