490 Promise
Aunt Ren left satisfied.
"Ah Ning." Mrs. Chen looked a little worried.
Shen Rouning explained in a low voice: "Mother, don't blame me for being reckless. I was sure that I should come down. ”
Mrs. Chen wanted to say to Shen Rouning that with the Chen family's foothold, there was no need to deliberately curry favor with the palace and get any rewards...... But after thinking about it, he didn't say it at all, and nodded slowly: "Since you are sure, then do it." ”
I have promised to come down, so I have to do it!
Shen Rouning replied respectfully.
Out of the main courtyard, Lord Mingjia apologized to Shen Rouning again: "...... I've caused trouble for my sister-in-law. ”
When Aunt Ren was there just now, relying on the status of the Chen Mansion, Shen Rouning could indeed refuse, but after the Queen Mother gave birth to expectations, was she rejected at all? Shen Rouning, as the wife of Xianwen Hou Shizi, may suffer trouble because of this "mustard" when she enters the palace in the future!
You don't need to do too much at all!
As long as she showed a little bit of disgust to the noble ladies that she hated Shen Rouning, it would be enough for Shen Rouning to be troublesome!
Therefore, Shen Rouning could only agree to come down and draw a good picture to please the Queen Mother, and there was not much room for refusal!
Shen Rou smiled, pointed to the painting scroll held by Bi Dong, and said, "This pair is a masterpiece of the book saint, and one pair is worth a thousand gold!" The Queen Mother has such a heavy reward, do I dare to care? ”
It's like she's greedy for these antique calligraphy and paintings.
Lord Mingjia knew that this was not the case, and Shen Rouning understood her and expressed a lot of gratitude to Shen Rouning.
When Chen Houyun comes back. Shen Rouning sat in the flower room, and the homework she was about to paint was almost completed. She has seen Emperor Qinglong many times more than anyone else knows. She remembers every time they met.
After such a long time, she has been able to sit here calmly, presenting the image of Emperor Qinglong on the painting paper little by little.
Chen Houyun stood behind her and watched silently, not disturbing.
After a long time, Shen Rouning stopped her pen, looked at the drawing paper for a while, and asked Chen Houyun, "What do you think, cousin?" ”
"It's too hard." Chen Houyun said: "From the perspective of value alone. It's not as good as your other works. Later generations will see it. I probably won't spend a lot of money on it. ”
Shen Rouning smiled a little helplessly, and said, "Let me ask you, does the painting look like it, is there any charm of the first emperor." "This portrait. I'm afraid it will always be enshrined in the palace. It is the dynastic change of later generations. It's hard to just think of it as a painting!
Because it's not an ordinary painting in itself!
"Like, of course." Chen Houyun sat down indifferently. said: "The Son of Heaven is dignified, dignified, I believe that the Queen Mother has seen it." I will definitely be very satisfied. ”
Shen Rouning said: "It's good that her old man will be satisfied." ”
"Didn't my cousin owe my father a debt before?" Shen Rouning said softly: "It just so happens that the Queen Mother has rewarded several pairs of precious calligraphy and paintings, and we will send them to my father in a while, right?" ”
"You don't like it?" Chen Houyun said: "It's good to send something else from my father." I just asked for a copy of Master Wei's "Mountain Hidden Map", and my father should be satisfied. ”
The master Wei in Chen Houyun's mouth is a Danqing master in the world, and he is famous, and now a good work on the market costs more than three hundred taels of silver, and a painting is hard to find. The older the old man gets, the more he cherishes his name, and there are fewer and fewer works he has come out with recently. And once a new work comes out, it will definitely be a masterpiece. The master has a strange temper, and it is difficult for ordinary people to come to the door...... It's just that Chen Houyun has always made a wide range of friends, and Shen Rouning will not feel strange at all if he can get a new master's work.
But no matter how good Master Wei's works are, they will not be precious to the antique paintings that the Queen Mother has rewarded!
Shen Rouning said helplessly: "It's all a family, and the Queen Mother can't hide what she has rewarded." If it's gold and silver jewelry, forget it, but my father loves calligraphy and painting, if we don't send it to him to see, won't it torture his old man? ”
"The value of ancient paintings is more in the collection." Shen Rouning said: "We have a collection, and it is not much different from my father's collection." "In the future, these things will definitely go back to their husband and wife. In that case, why not coax the eldest master to be happy.
Chen Houyun nodded without much thought, didn't dwell on this issue, and asked Shen Rouning: "Why do you want to please the Queen Mother?" ”
"The health of the Queen Mother is good for Daqing and our Chen Mansion." Shen Rouning said in a low voice: "I guess her old man's impression of me is not too good...... If you can reverse it a little, it will always be a lot less troublesome. To be honest, thinking about Chaoyang Palace, I really can't feel at ease. ”
Chen Houyun also wrenched his face and said: "I asked people to check, the emperor didn't do anything out of the ordinary in Chaoyang Palace, but recently he has been rewarded with a lot of money and value, saying that he likes Princess Rouya, but the things he rewards are not for children." His thoughts are clear. ”
"Fortunately, it hasn't reached the worst yet, and it can still be saved." Chen Houyun said: "Ah Ning, after you finish painting, let your mother or Mingjia accompany you into the palace in person, and directly ask for the grace that belongs to Concubine Lan back, so as not to happen." ”
As long as the twin sisters are separated, there is only one Qing concubine left, in the eyes of the emperor who is not short of beauties, he is already featureless, even if he has the courage to continue to carry the queen mother behind his back to find excitement in the future, he will not have any interest in Chaoyang Palace.
"That's exactly what I thought." Shen Rouning said in her heart, at least, when something bad happens in Chaoyang Palace in the future, the Queen Mother can see her Shen Rouning's face, and she will be a little less angry, so as not to affect the entire Shen family.
"The title of Wenchang Houfu is gone." Chen Houyun also seemed to think of Shen Rou Ning, and sighed softly: "Even if the Liao clan is cautious enough, it is useless. I heard that the old lady of the Liao family is ready to let all the clansmen resign and return to the fields, move away from the capital, and return to the countryside. I just don't know if the Queen Mother is willing to let go. ”
Queen Liao's crime has made the Queen Mother extremely disgusted with the Liao family! Originally, the Queen Mother was afraid that she would be able to let the Liao family go for the sake of face, but now there is the matter of Concubine Liao! In the eyes of the Queen Mother, it must have been Concubine Liao who seduced the emperor, and her death was not enough, and the entire Liao family was not enough to atone!
Shen Rouning sighed softly.
Before dinner, she and Chen Houyun sent two calligraphy and paintings to Master Chen, and had dinner in the main courtyard, accompanied Chen Chengfang for a while, and then returned to Bixin Courtyard. Thinking about the situation in Chaoyang Palace, Shen Rouning did not feel sleepy, and after talking to Chen Houyun, she took the brush and smeared it again. (To be continued.) )
