Chapter 278: My Eyes Are Straight!
Hearing Cen Hongmian ask about the drawings, Cen Xiyan remembered what she had promised Mo Junxuan, these days, she was not quiet, and she forgot about it, if Cen Hongmian hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have remembered it.
Cen Xiyan confessed: "I haven't painted yet." After a pause, he asked again: "What, Lord Shuo asked about this?" ”
Cen Hongmian replied: "It wasn't Prince Shuo who asked, it was the Nine Emperor Princes, and I mentioned it once yesterday." ”
Hearing that Cen Xiyan hadn't started to draw drawings yet, Cen Hongmian was a little worried, the Nine Emperors were an acute person, and when he mentioned this matter yesterday, he wanted to let people build a carriage immediately, but now he didn't know how to open his mouth to urge Cen Xiyan.
Cen Xiyan let out an "oh". It turned out that Mo Junfei's kid couldn't wait, and she thought about it, she promised to send Mo Junxuan's drawings, and the brightest eyes were Mo Junfei on the side, that kid was young and greedy, and he was anxious, so it was not surprising that he would urge this matter.
Seeing the look on Cen Hongmian's face, Cen Xiyan knew that Mo Junfei must have been in a hurry, which made her third brother a little embarrassed.
After thinking for a while, Cen Xiyan said to Cen Hongmian: "That's it, I'll draw the drawings today, if the third brother still has something, go and get busy first, I'll let Jingshuang send you the drawings over in a while, if there is nothing else, and you are in a hurry, you can also wait here, I'll draw it now, you can take it directly after the painting is done." ”
"Can you finish the painting today?" Cen Hongmian asked again.
"It's very finished." Cen Xiyan replied with certainty. It was just a blueprint for a four-wheeled carriage, and it didn't take much of her time at all.
Hearing Cen Xiyan say this, Cen Hongmian immediately nodded, "Then I'll wait here, I was invited by the Nine Emperor Princes in the evening, and Prince Shuo will also be there, just send the drawings over together." ”
Seeing that this was indeed very anxious, Cen Xiyan nodded, "Okay, the third brother will be here for a while." ”
Cen Xiyan said goodbye to Cen Hongmian, and then called Jingshuang and Yingxue over.
Before talking about the topic of Sang Qingzhi before, Cen Hongmian had hinted that he had something to talk about alone with Cen Xiyan, so the two girls were not in the main hall, but in the compartment, one was studying the recipe, and the other was studying the dark powder that reconfigured Cen Xiyan for face trimming.
However, only the carved decorative wooden walls are separated, and the conversation in the hall can be heard clearly next door, Cen Hongmian naturally knows this, he just doesn't face the two girls, and it's not easy to speak.
At this moment, after the two girls came out, they were not friendly to Cen Hongmian, Jingshuang was fine, but her breath was a little more alienated.
Yingxue's face was tense, and she didn't give Cen Hongmian a good look, although she didn't say it directly, but looking at her expression, she knew that he was nosy and worried about their young lady's marriage.
Cen Hongmian touched his nose a little embarrassed, and at the same time had a better understanding of the two girls around Cen Xiyan, he also heard it two days ago, about Cen Xiyan's words about the relationship between the two maids around him and sisters, it seems to be true, he has seen the way their master and servant get along, and they are very naturally close, at this moment, these two girls are not to see him, and they have a somewhat defensive posture, so that his brother is like an outsider!
Cen Xiyan stared at Yingxue warningly, asked her to restrain a little, and then said: "Yingxue, you go upstairs to the small study, go to the paper, pens, and other things sooner or later." ”
"Yes, miss." Yingxue answered, turned around and went upstairs.
Cen Xiyan set up a small study on the second floor, which is convenient for reading and writing, but the upstairs belong to the women's boudoir area, and it is inconvenient for men to go up, even if it is his own brother, it is not easy to go up, and Cen Hongmian wants to wait here for her to finish painting, and it is not good to throw himself in the hall, so he told Yingxue to take down the things he wants to use.
Jingshuang automatically cleaned up the table by herself, removed the fruit plate and snacks, and left the empty table.
There was not much time, so Yingxue came down with a bunch of things, put them on the table one by one, and set them up.
Cen Hongmian looked at the pile of things on the table, and his eyes couldn't help but show surprise.
"The sixth sister wants to draw drawings on jade paper?" Cen Hongmian couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm." Cen Xiyan spread out the jade plate paper and said: "The third brother has seen Lord Shuo, it is best to remember to ask for silver, this jade plate paper is not cheap." ”
Jade paper is indeed not cheap, this kind of paper in this era, is used by rich and noble people to write small notes, the texture is very white and firm, and it is precisely because it is stronger than rice paper, Cen Xiyan used this kind of paper to draw design drawings, but because the cost is a bit high, this is a very luxurious behavior, no wonder Cen Hongmian will be surprised.
"Uh......" Cen Hongmian heard this, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, Prince Guan Shuo wants silver? How can he be so open-mouthed! couldn't help but say: "The sixth sister is short of silver, and the third brother has saved some money here......"
"Forget it." Cen Xiyan hurriedly interrupted Cen Hongmian's words and said with a smile: "Third brother, I'll just joke with you, don't take it seriously, I don't lack silver." ”
If she faced Mo Junxuan with the identity of Suifeng, she would definitely want the silver, but now, it seems that this silver is unacceptable, Cen Xiyan is actually a little painful in her heart.
Cen Hongmian listened to her words, and couldn't help but smile, and didn't insist on the silver anymore, because he also knew that this sixth sister was probably the most lacking in silver among the sisters in the family.
Seeing that Cen Xiyan took a strange pen before typing the draft, Cen Hongmian couldn't help it, and asked curiously: "Sixth sister, what kind of pen are you using?" ”
"Graphite pen." Cen Xi didn't lift his head back to the road. Continue to draw quickly and smoothly with your hands.
In fact, the so-called graphite pen is a pencil, and in the 21st century, the pencil lead of 2B, 3B, HB and other drawing pencils is made of graphite.
In ancient times, graphite has also been used, such as forging, molding, etc., graphite will be used, this thing, is not a particularly rare mineral, but no one else has used it to write and paint.
Cen Xiyan thinks that the brush is soft and not easy to draw, so he asked people to make this kind of graphite pencil, for those technical nerds with super hands-on ability in Yuanyinmen, making this kind of small thing is simply too simple and untechnical.
However, because this graphite pen is too easy to use, it is already a popular drawing pen in Yuanyinmen.
Of course, Cen Hongmian had never seen this kind of graphite pen, and he saw Cen Xiyan draw drawings at a speed faster than she thought in a very strange posture of holding the pen, and his eyes were straight!
