Chapter Thirty-Eight: Choose a Name!
Rongwang's Mansion
"Lord Wang, there are people outside asking to see the general."
"What did Yan Rong tell me?" Nangong Li is pruning potted plants.
"The general is not in the mansion, so I will tell you the prince." The little guy said.
"But someone important?" Nangong Li asked.
"This, the person who came only said that he was the general's friend Song Lian.
"Song Lian? Tobe Squire? Nangong Li stopped what he was doing and said.
"This, the comer didn't say."
"Come on, bring him over!"
"Yes, lord."
"Lord Wang, the guest has arrived."
"Okay, let's go down." Nangong Li still didn't raise his head and said.
"Song Lian pays a visit to Prince Rong." The comer first bowed to Nangong Li.
"Lord Song is polite." At this time, Nangong Li slowly raised his head and said to Song Lian.
"The prince is so idle to play with flowers and plants, I don't know where the general is?" Song Lian continued to ask.
"Yanrong, he has something to do, what is the same as what I said." Nangong Li took the fan next to him and said.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the general said that he wanted a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and he couldn't find it all day long, and it just so happened that I just got a pair, so I simply gave it to the general, and I hope the general won't dislike it. Song Lian took out a painting he was carrying behind him and said.
"Really? Can you show this king? Nangong Li was interested.
"Of course." Song Lian opened the painting as he spoke. ”
"This painting .....," Nangong Li frowned as he looked at the person on the painting.
"It's a general, contemptible and talented, I haven't seen the general really fight on the battlefield, but I was fortunate to take a look at it from a distance on the day the general's squad returned to the court, and I drew a few strokes." Song Lian said with a smile.
"This painting is really a little similar, but this eyebrow and eyes are not very similar!" Nangong Li said.
"I did it on purpose, the general is heroic, and there is a strong anger between his eyebrows, but since I got along with the general, I found that the general is also an extremely gentle woman, so I deliberately portrayed my eyebrows and eyes a little gentle." Song Lian said as he looked at the portrait.
"Really? Lord Song is still very clear about my princess! Nangong Li tilted his head and said.
"The prince misunderstood, but Song Lian thinks that the general is a different general, and I hope that the prince can transfer this painting to the general, if there is nothing to do, Song Lian will go back first." Song Lian rolled the painting up again and said.
"The princess of this king is indeed different, she can have a deep friendship with Lord Song, and she is not an ordinary person who wants to come to Lord Song, if you have time, you will often come to the house!" Nangong Li said.
"The prince is also a dragon and phoenix among people, and it is also Song Lian's blessing to be able to communicate with the prince, but there is something right now, if there is a fate, I will definitely come to visit in the future."
"Lord Song is going to Mengyang Kingdom, and this king wishes you a safe journey."
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
Song Lian couldn't help but sigh when he left the palace, and clearly felt from his words that this legendary waste wood prince was not useless, he did not participate in the court politics, but he could accurately know that he was going to Mengyang Kingdom, either the general or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, if he did not participate in the court affairs, why should he be informed! Come to think of it, this prince is a useful person!
On this side, Nangong Li opened the painting again in the study to admire, and it was better to appreciate it than to look at it.
"This nose is not like, how can Yanrong's nose be so delicate, and these eyes, although Yanrong's eyes are not ugly, but they are not so gentle." Nangong Li said to the portrait.
At this time, Nangong Li took out a note and saw that it read, "Champion of liberal arts, household servant, poor family, honest and upright." Just sixteen words are the characteristics of Song Lian.
"Liberal arts champion? I think he is a person with good literary talents, but this painting is not very good. Someone said sourly at the painting.
"The general is back, why did the general lead two horses!" The doorman saw Yan Rong leading two horses, and hurriedly took the horses and said.
"This is newly obtained by General Ben, and it is tied to pear blossoms, and the supply of grain and grass is the same as that of pear blossoms." Yan Rong said.
"Yes, General."
As soon as Yan Rong stepped into the mansion, he saw Nangong Li in a daze in the courtyard, Yan Rong was thinking about whether to go and say hello, after all, since that night, he has not said a few words to Nangong Li.
"The general is here, the prince has been sitting here for a while, is he waiting for the general?" Mama Li saw that these two people did not speak, so she said from the middle.
"This king doesn't." Nangong Li came back to his senses when he heard Mama Li speak.
"Mama said and laughed, I'll go back to the room first." Yan Rong said.
"Wait." Nangong Li suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Yan Rong asked suspiciously.
"Ahem, a friend of yours came to deliver something to you today." Nangong Li coughed embarrassedly and said.
"Huh?" Yan Rong was even more puzzled.
"It's Song Lian. He's got something for you. Nangong Li said.
"Brother Song is here? What is it? Yan Rong asked when he heard that it was Song Lian.
"Look, it's so kind, why are you so excited when Song Lian comes, your eyes are shining!" Nangong Li pursed the corners of his lips and said.
"What is he looking for me," Yan Rong ignored what Nangong Li said.
"I sent you a painting, put it in the study, take it." Nangong Li nodded in the direction of the study.
"Thank you Lord Rong, what did Brother Song say?" Yan Rong asked gradually detached.
Here, Nangong Li changed his name when he heard Yan Rong's call, and it was even more unpleasant. He said, "They were about to leave, so they gave you a picture of what you wanted, and didn't say anything." Nangong Li automatically removed the gentleness that Song Lian said.
"Really? I just said casually at the time, this Brother Song actually took it seriously. Yan Rong said with a smile.
"Don't you have calligraphy and painting at home? You can still ask for it from others. Nangong Li muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Yan Rong asked.
"No, you can go and have a look, and use this king to send it to you personally?" Nangong Li raised his head and said with a sigh of anger in his heart.
"Okay." After speaking, Yan Rong entered the study. Nangong Li also followed.
"Brother Song's painting skills are really good, no one has painted me a portrait since I was a child!" Yan Rong looked at the portrait and sighed.
"It's okay, this king doesn't think this painting is exactly like it." Nangong Li looked at Yan Rong and said happily.
"What's wrong with you? Does Brother Song have a grudge against you? Yan Rong also noticed that something was wrong with Nangong Li, so he asked.
"No, this king has never been in contact with him, I think I want this king to paint, and the effect must be better than this one."
"Really? It's a pity. Yan Rong said.
"What's the pity?"
"It's a pity that Wang Ye Rong will paint a portrait for me?" Yan Rong stared at Nangong Li's eyes and said.
"You.... Yes, you're right, this king won't paint a portrait of you! Nangong Li avoided Yan Rong's eyes and said deliberately.
Yan Rong shook his head with a smile, rolled up the painting, and was about to leave the study.
Nangong Li watched Yan Rong carefully roll up the painting, and walked away as if he was holding a treasure in his hand, and he also walked out.
"Is there anything else to do?" Yan Rong looked at Nangong Li and followed, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"This king wants to come out to breathe, and besides, it's almost time to eat." Nangong Li grabbed the corner of his clothes and said.
"Nangong Li, I also have something for you." Yan Rong looked at Nangong Li's uncomfortable appearance and said with a smile.
"What?" Nangong Li came to the spirit and asked.
"Yes......"
Before Yan Rong finished speaking, the little guy here rushed over and said, "The general is not good, the little black horse somehow provoked Pear Blossom, and now he was kicked hard by Pear Blossom and lay on the ground." ”
"What? Just go. Yan Rong heard that the black horse was injured and hurried over. Nangong Li also followed.
Sure enough, I saw the pony lying on the ground, his eyes seemed to be full of tears, and he looked at Yan Rong painfully, and Rika was standing next to the little black horse at this time, looking at Yan Rong as well.
"Rika, what's the matter with you?" Yan Rong walked up to Pear Blossom and reprimanded.
Pear Blossom just shouted to the sky and ignored Yan Rong, Yan Rong saw that Pear Blossom had turned her head to look at the other side, and she didn't react no matter how she called. Yan Rong had no choice but to bend down to see the situation of the little black horse.
"Horses? If you understand me, try to get up and walk. Yan Rong stroked the black horse's ear and said.
Yan Rong saw that the horse was ready to get up, so he quickly stood up and waited for the horse to get up.
"Why does this horse look so weak?" Nangong Li looked at it from the side and said.
"This horse is naturally weak, and it is different from Pear Blossom, but they are all of the same breed, and they are all horses, so I think this horse will not be bad in the future." Yan Rong looked at Pear Blossom and said.
Pear Blossom seemed to sense something and screamed again.
"If it's a good horse, naturally you can't be careless, I'll take a look." After Nangong Li finished speaking, he walked to Ma Er's side, and to Yan Rong's surprise, Ma Er actually followed Nangong Li to stand up, although it was more painful and difficult, but it was successful. At this time, the dark horse was biting the corner of Nangong Li's clothes.
"This pony is really ungrateful, and the owner picks a good-looking one." Yan Rong looked at the horse and said.
"Horses are also psychic, besides, didn't you also tell your father that you fell in love with the king's beauty?" Nangong Li turned his head towards Yan Rong and said.
"I ..... I was talking nonsense at the time. Yan Rong thought to himself, this Nangong Li Ke really held a grudge.
Nangong Li snorted, then turned his head and touched Ma'er's forehead again. The horse obediently writhed beside Nangong Li.
"Since the horse likes you so much, why don't you give it to you?" Yan Rong looked at the scene in front of him and said.
"No, this king doesn't ride a horse, and besides, isn't this a horse that follows you into battle?" Nangong Li said in a low voice.
"It's too early for a horse to go to war, and besides, the horse needs to find a destined person, and since you are destined for it, then you will be its master from now on, and it will always be loyal to you."
Nangong Li glanced at Yan Rong, turned his head to look at the horse, and said after a long time, "Okay." ”
"In that case, let's give it a name! You can't always bark at the horses! Yan Rong asked.
"It's time for a name!" Nangong Li was also thinking about it.
"Look at it black, why don't you call it Xiao Hei?" Yan Rong thought for a while and said.
"Poof..... You, no wonder the general's horse is called Pear Blossom. Sure enough, you are a reckless man, how can you choose a name? Nangong Li was really shocked when he heard that Yan Rong was actually called Ma Erxiaohei.
"I think the pear blossom is good, when this horse is born, the pear blossom falls, and the petals fall, and the snow white of this horse is born, and the pear blossom is naturally good." Yan Rong looked at Pear Blossom and said.
"You, forget it, I'll think of a name, and I'll think of one for Pear Blossom." Nangong Li said helplessly.
