Chapter 102: Portrait
"Brother Helan is the head of the future Gongsun family, and his body is expensive, so he can't withstand any accidents." Du Zigui said it sincerely, but Liu Yiyi heard some hostility from his words, aimed at his Liu Yiyi's hostility.
What does this little boy mean? Liu Yiyi felt a little inexplicable, and glanced at Du Zhigui, it seems that he hadn't offended him before?
Although Gongsun Helan was atmospheric, he was not rude, and naturally he heard a hint of Du Zhigui's words, and his face was suddenly a little unhappy, and he said to Du Zigui: "Brother Xie Zigui is worried, but there is no perfect thing in this world. The younger brother is not the kind of delicate boy who can't withstand the wind and waves, if the eldest brother really has the equipment that can make me stand up, even if there is a certain risk, I will definitely give it a try. ”
Gongsun Helan glanced at Liu Yiyi and said, "Moreover, I believe in the things of the eldest brother, and they will not disappoint me." ”
Listening to Gongsun Helan's words, Liu Yiyi smiled. It wasn't until now that he found out that Gongsun Helan was so cute.
Liu Yiyi nodded, stood up, and praised Gongsun Helan: "What Brother Helan said is good, a good man walks between heaven and earth, and he should have a heroic spirit in his chest, how can he be timid and stop for a little accident and danger, which makes people laugh?" ”
"What a virtuous nephew said is very true! The husband should face the difficulties, how can there be a reason to retreat from the difficulties! With this rough voice, Gongsun Wuda pushed the door and entered. Gongsun Wenda also followed him.
"Uncle Gongsun!" Liu Yiyi and Du Zigui hurriedly got up and bowed.
"Hmm." Gongsun Wuda nodded and glanced at Liu Yiyi appreciatively, Liu Yiyi's words just now won his heart.
Sitting down on the stool brought up by the subordinates, Gongsun Wuda waved his hand to Liu and Du, and said, "The two virtuous nephews should also sit, in front of the old man, there is no need to be too restrained." ”
"Uncle Xie!" The two of them saluted Gongsun Wu Dage twice, and then sat down again.
"Uncle, you are coming here at this moment, but it is not a big deal?" Gongsun Helan leaned back and asked softly.
"Oh, I'm here to say goodbye to you." Gongsun Wuda looked at Gongsun Helan lovingly and said, "Now that the assassin has been captured, Xiao Lan'er's injuries have basically stabilized, and there are still many affairs to deal with in Beijing, so this morning, I will return to Beijing." ”
"Ah, is Uncle leaving?" Gongsun Helan sat up, with great reluctance on her face. For Gongsun Wuda, he has a deep admiration in his heart, which is much closer than to his old man and father.
Seeing Gongsun Helan like this, Gongsun Wude glared and said, "Don't be such a little daughter, how can the men of my Gongsun family be like this?!" Chang'an is only half a day's journey from here, if you miss your uncle, after the injury is healed, you will come to Chang'an to find me. ”
"Well, Uncle has taught me a lesson. Xiao Lan'er lost her temper. Gongsun Helan hurriedly let away the reluctance in his heart and said, "I don't know when the uncle is going to leave?" Xiao Lan'er couldn't get out of bed, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get up to see her off. ”
In the East Palace, a middle-aged scribe was led into the prince's study by a waiter.
In the study, Li Chengqian was talking to Li Jihe in a whisper.
"Minister, Yan Liben, the squire of the Criminal Department, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Yan Liben respectfully bent down and saluted the prince.
Li Chengqian sat up straight, glanced at Yan Liben, nodded, and said, "Lord Yan doesn't have to be polite, let's sit down first." ”
Yan Liben saluted again and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Xie will sit down." After that, he carefully bent down and sat down, took the tea handed by the waiter with both hands, raised his head and asked in a low voice, "I wonder what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned the officials to come late at night, what are your orders?" ”
Li Chengqian picked up the tea bowl and blew it lightly, put the tea bowl on the table, looked at Yan Liben, and said: "I heard that in addition to his outstanding literary talents, Lord Yan is also good at painting, and he is especially good at depicting the expressions of characters, and the characters he paints are all similar to real people. Therefore, Gu Yi wanted to ask Lord Yan to make a picture for Gu Ye. I don't know if Lord Yan can be convenient? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, how dare the lower officials disobey." Yan Liben stood up and bowed his hand to Li Chengqian: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to provide some pen, ink, paper and inkstone for His Royal Highness, and the lower official will pour ink for His Highness." ”
"Eh, there's no rush for this." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "The person who asked Lord Yan to paint this time is not lonely, but another person. And this person is a little special, and he is not in this East Palace now. ”
Li Chengqian glanced at Li Jihe next to him and said, "And the true appearance of this person has only been seen by Li Jihe alone, and I just want to ask Lord Yan to follow Master Li's description and put this person's appearance on the paper." I don't know if this is difficult for Lord Yan? ”
"This," Yan Liben pondered for a moment, drawing a person he had never seen before, as if he had never tried it before.
Looking up at the crown prince, and seeing Li Chengqian's earnest look, it didn't seem like he was joking, Yan Liben was ruthless, so he arched his hand and said to Li Chengqian: "The lower officials are willing to give it a try, but if the painting doesn't look like it, please don't blame His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"This Lord Yan doesn't have to worry, Lone also knows that this is difficult for some strong people, so no matter what the result is, Lone will not blame the adult." Li Chengqian gave Yan Liben a reassuring pill, and then looked at Li Jihe. said to Yan Liben: "The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone have been prepared for Lord Yan, and Lord Yan can only paint with confidence." Lonely and unaccompanied. ”
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Yan Liben and Li Jihe stood up and saluted together, and sent Li Chengqiangong out of the prince's study.
"Lord Yan, shall we start now?" Standing up straight, Li Jihe chuckled and said to Yan Liben.
"Well," Yan Liben nodded, and said to Li Jihe, "Please also ask Master Li to describe the portrait of the person to be painted in detail for this official." ”
"There is Lord Lao Yan," Li Jihe began to describe in detail: "The man, about eighteen or nine years old, has a bun and a hairpin on his head, but there are some hair scattered out. The eyebrows are jet-black, full-bodied, and sword-edged. The eyes are slightly larger, black and white, and there is a spirit. The nose is high and straight, and the face is thin....."
Every time Li Jihe described a sentence, Yan Liben drew an organ on the paper. After Li Jihe finished speaking, a humanoid avatar appeared on the paper.
"Lord Li, please take a look, but is there any place that is different?" Yan Liben handed the painted figure to Li Jihe and asked him.
"Uh," Li Jihe took the paper and looked at it for a long time, and finally pointed to one of the eyebrows on the portrait firmly, and said, "Lord Yan, except for this eyebrow, which is somewhat similar, the others are all plausible." Let's do it again, shall we? ”
