"Then why did you come to Tianyuan and become a scribe?" Although the scribe also has the word "official", it is completely incompatible with the local official position, to put it bluntly, it is just a slave who does miscellaneous work for the prince's library, and if he encounters a slave with a higher status, the scribe has to change his way to make amends. Although there are people to take care of food and housing, it can be said that they are extremely poor in normal times - no family, no money, and no status. "It's just a mistake in the painting." Yue Feng looked stunned.

What he is good at is the freehand of large landscapes. But in this era, is a completely unpopular style. In Tianyuan, there was only one person who really influenced the trend of painting and poetry, and that was Zhou Hui, the fifth prince. "They all said that there are many types that His Highness likes, but they are not including me." Li Zesi listened silently and did not say a word.

"Am I a little dead-eyed?" Yue Feng laughed self-deprecatingly, "In order to let the Fifth Highness see my paintings, I cut off the relationship with my family, and I ran to Tianyuan alone, and I am willing to do anything, as long as I can get close to the Fifth Highness, I thought of countless ways later, and finally became the curator of the Hidden Pavilion, but it was only that, and it was impossible to take a step forward." "As a librarian, although it is very lowly, at least you can hand the paintings into the mansion of the Fifth Highness, but in the end, you have also seen it, they are all sent down and pasted on the wall, and the paintings that you have carefully painted yourself have to brush them with paste and paste them on the wall by yourself, which is really ironic."

"Then why do you want to stay?" Li Zesi burst out, and a kind of resonance arose, "Isn't it sad to be willing to endure this situation?" The wry smile on Yue Feng's face expanded: "Dare to ask Brother Chu which mansion is from?" If I'm not mistaken, at this time, the favored doorman should accompany the master to chat and spend the summer, right? "The words are harsh, but they are very real. Li Zesi was speechless, so he had to answer: "It is the Fifth Highness's disciple." Yue Feng picked up the question just now: "Even so, do you want to leave?" Li Zesi was speechless. On this question, any answer does not make sense, he has no choice.

Yue Feng understood this, so he smiled, stopped the topic, just lowered his eyes, stared at Li Zesi's hand again, and seemed to finally can't help asking: "Brother Chu, what are you holding in your hand?" "Oh, it's a reward from the Fifth Highness." Li Zesi then remembered, he put the bamboo basket on the small table, lifted the lid, a refreshing sweet fragrance wafted out, the back armor of a crab was exposed, and the outside was hinged into a continuous coiled peony pattern with glutinous rice paper, pasted on the top of the shell, and when the shell was opened, it turned out to be neat crab meat, and even the legs were cracked and placed inside, and the layers were dotted with sweet grass flowers, and there was a candied fruit bag in the middle, which was used to enhance the taste, and people who don't like to eat too sweet can directly take it out and throw it away.

Li Zesi frowned and flipped it down with the bamboo chopsticks that came with it, and said, "I really don't know what to think about making such a delicate thing." Obviously it's not the season to eat crabs, so I have to make it out ...... my own way" Li Zesi said a few words to himself, found that there was no response, looked up, and found that Yue Feng was abnormal-watching Li Zesi casually pull this exquisite food, Yue Feng's face suddenly turned red again, he changed his look just now, and said like a child: "No wonder I always felt so fragrant just now...... The young man's eyes showed a look of extreme longing, but he felt shy, and tried to turn his head away from the seductive thing, but he couldn't help staring at it with his spare eyes, and his nose kept moving.

Growing like a puppy. Li Zesi held back a laugh this time and pushed the sugar crab forward: "Here you go." Yue Feng said hesitantly: "Your Highness's reward, how can I ask for ......" His voice became smaller and smaller. "I don't like to eat. I have bad teeth. "This is true, Li Zesi has not liked sweetness since he was a child, and the last time he ate candy was when he was three years old. After some pushing, Yue Feng finally picked up the chopsticks. While eating, he did not say a word. When he looked up, the big man had tears in his eyes.

Li Zesi was startled, thinking that there was something wrong with this crab, after all, it was ritured by Shen Luo with a spell: "Uh...... Are you okay? Yue Feng sniffed: "Brother Chu, I want to return the gift, you must accept it." "Brother Yue, why do you have to do this?" The young painter lowered his head and said softly: "I...... I like to eat sweet things, and this is the best I've had since I was twenty-five. ”

"Scared! Twenty-five?! This is what scared Li Zesi. By the time Li Zesi returned to the Five Princes' Mansion with the empty bamboo basket, it was already evening when the sun was in the west and twilight was gradually dewing. A dozen steps away from the gate of the house, the sound of horses' hooves and wheels suddenly came from behind him. Li Zesi looked back and saw that it was a beautiful light carriage, two tall and thin-legged horses galloping side by side, and in the blink of an eye, they had already approached. When the driver saw him walking in front, he didn't have the slightest idea of slowing down, but just turned his horse's head nimbly, brushed Li Zesi's side and ran over. The mystic was almost taken away by the inertia of the carriage, and his heart suddenly became annoyed: could it be a new trick played by Shenluo? You've got to clean him up.

He was about to have a seizure when the carriage jumped, and someone grabbed the reins, and the two horses were brought up half a circle, and their hooves came to a halt. A brisk and hearty voice came out: "Brother, forgive me!" There is a mission in the body, and I can't make amends for all the sins! As he spoke, he jumped out of the carriage, threw the reins to the servants outside, and went around to the other side of the carriage. From the outside, although this person is a little fat, the tight belt exposes the shape of the belly, but the current dress and unprecedented vigorous movements, there is no bulkiness at all, and from the glimpse of the face, there are about thirty, a pair of flesh bubble eyes, nose and mouth are also fleshy, obviously fat, full of red light, it can be seen that the usual maintenance is well-maintained.

He stretched out his hand and dragged out another one, who was two laps smaller than him, not only a head shorter, but also pitifully thin, shrugged his shoulders and waist, as if he was holding something, and was half-dragged and half-led by the fat man, staggered out of the car, and went straight to the door of the house. Meet Zhou Hui? Li Zesi didn't care much about this, just nodded, signaling that he didn't mind what happened just now, and slowly followed the mansion. When he came to the pavilion, the two who came first were already around Zhou Hui, and there was a package on the table, which should be the thing that the thin man was holding just now. Needless to say, the one who is tearing up his voice and chatting happily must be the fat man.

"Your Highness! Second Highness's return gift, you can open it in front of me and taste it. Zhou Hui's ears were probably buzzing: "I know." Zhu Luo, just your spirit. The fat man grinned loudly: "Fifth Highness, your Second Highness of Sugar Crab is full of praise, he said that you are just something else, in terms of food, it is really above ten thousand people!" Zhou Hui's face turned blue when he heard this, but the fifth prince still didn't have a seizure, but just diverted the topic: "Wenwen, open it and take a look." "Huh? Fifth Highness, don't you open it yourself? ”

Wen Wen came over: "You go back and ask His Second Highness, can't I dismantle his things?" "Yo! Lord Wenjun, you have seen this, I am also on the orders of His Royal Highness II, if it is specially given to you, you can throw it away on the spot, let alone dismantle it. Shen Luo "snapped" the second bowl of the day in the back, stood up and was about to come over, but was blocked by Wenwen: "Then you go back and say it, just say that I have to dismantle his things and let him come to me." The fat man rolled his eyes, and was about to speak again, when the thin man behind him tugged at his sleeve. Zhou Hui and the others didn't see this scene, but Li Zesi, who was standing behind, could see it clearly, and the thin man begged in a low voice: "Brother, don't say it." ”

The fat man didn't speak again, but bowed with a hippie smile. Wenwen pressed the package on the table with his hand, no matter where he started, he found a place to tear it ruthlessly, dragged down the beautiful cloth seal outside, and threw it outside the pavilion, and saw the densely wound silk, all of which were torn and thrown on the ground, and while dragging Wenwen hard, he also said: "Your Royal Highness usually doesn't have such trouble sending things, it must be a bad idea from a mouthy beast, I will send someone to send a letter to the past another day, just say that people have words, beasts have beast words, and people can't be angry with beasts." ”

For this obvious irony, the fat man's face was neither red nor white, but thin, and his already blackened face almost turned purple-red, and he lowered his head and longed to burrow into the cracks in the ground. After the packaging was unpacked, it was found that there was a gold-painted porcelain box inside, and it turned out that the heavy packages on the outside were all to protect the porcelain box from being broken during transportation. When I lifted the dripping green top cover, I found a box of golden-yellow crystalline lattice paste. Zhou Hui glanced at it and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Hive? Zhu Roma took it: "Yes! This is the new peach nectar in the spring, taken from the queen bee's side, and the second highness said that the fifth highness must like it. ”

Zhou Hui suddenly threw the unhappiness just now out of the clouds, and said with a smile: "Thank you, second brother, I accepted it." After saying that, he gestured with his chin and asked, "Who is this behind you?" Zhu Luo replied very obediently this time: "Under the weak brother, Zhu Luo." The thin Zhu Luo still looked shrunken, and he didn't even dare to look at Zhou Hui. Zhou Hui smiled and said politely: "Brother Ling's future is immeasurable, and now it's not as good as it used to be, hehe." The smile made his face bloom: "He has just come from the country, and he is still very early, and I am taking him to see the world." ”

Zhou Hui nodded and motioned to the people around him to send off the guests. Ao Zhijin took his younger brother and said two more kind words, and then he walked out of the pavilion proudly. Li Zesi was right behind them, and he passed by the two of them. Zhu Luo was nothing in the past, and when Zhu Luo staggered away with him at close range, Li Zesi suddenly felt something jerk hard, and he turned his head in surprise and was directly in line with Zhu Luo's gaze. Zhu Luo, who had been keeping his head down, didn't know what he was stimulated, and he just raised his head suddenly. The eyes of the two men met, and they shivered at the same time.

Zhu Luo looked at Li Zesi, his eyes were full of incomprehension and suspicion; And Li Zesi only had one sentence in his head: Why didn't this person feel angry? Although he stood there, could move, blink, why was he so lifeless? No heat, no heartbeat, not even the flow of blood? Even if it was a spirit like Shenluo, he could feel the fresh breath of life from it, why didn't this person have anything? Like, a pitch-black abyss.

Zhu Luo quickly returned to normal, he politely bowed his hand to Li Zesi, and while putting down his hand, he shook his arm intentionally or unintentionally, and touched Li Zesi's hand. The latter felt it clearly: it was hot, yes. So, what you just felt was wrong? No way. Li Zesi could only watch the two brothers leave the pavilion and come to see Zhou Hui with a heavy heart. Seeing that there were no outsiders at this time, the fifth prince changed in an instant, picked up a spoon from the table, and ran to the hive in the porcelain box to take a bite, but was so sweet that he stretched out his neck: "Although the second brother never leaves virtue under his mouth, the things are still top-notch!" ”

Wen Wen chuckled: "This Ao Zhijin under his hand, I have long been displeasing to the eye, but I take advantage of his heart the most." Shen Luo didn't speak for a long time, and finally came over angrily to vent his anger: "A group of rabbit cubs." When I go to their master's house, I won't kill them one by one! Zhou Hui licked the spoon, and his voice was indistinct: "Stinky chess, do you want to go?" "I'm fed up with you, holding your tail every day." Zhou Hui smiled dumbly: "It's good to clip the tail, don't you know about stinky chess?" "You clip yours, I'll go see those tail-cocking ones, bouncing their heads for a few days." Wenwen snorted: "I don't believe you can stay, you don't know how to practice martial arts, and you don't understand economics, do you go there to play tricks?" ”

"With just my mouth, it's enough for them to drink two pots!" "Indeed, when it comes to getting drunk and playing crazy with people, you don't lose." "Nonsense!" A few people come and go, and they fight around a table to eat. Li Zesi came over silently, and didn't say anything, just drank water there thoughtfully, until Zhou Hui noticed it, dug up a piece of the hive and handed it to him: "Where have you been?" Li Zesi looked at the shiny honeycomb, and his back molars were sour: "Secluded Mansion." "Oh. Not bad, right? I told someone to get it. Zhou Hui is confident in his own taste. Li Zesi couldn't help but go straight in: "Why do you put so many good paintings on the wall?" ”

"That?" Zhou Hui used a knife to divide the beehive into four neat pieces in the porcelain box, "Tianyuan City doesn't need so much garbage, that's all." "Then why don't you send these paintings out of the house, you don't like them, some people like them." "The only people who can afford to buy paintings are the nobles. The foolish people outside prefer the cheap Spring Palace to the landscape. If the people are allowed to select the painters, then in the end they can only raise a bunch of spring palace tricks that cater to the vulgar, wouldn't it be a waste of their talents? It's better to let them glue the windows in the palace, it's better than being ruined outside. ”
