Leng Yi nodded, walked over to take a look, and said, "It's hard work!" ”

Yusi bowed and said, "Thank you for the compliment!" ”

"Don't embroider yet, I have another thing for you to deal with with me!"

"Yes!" Yusi knew the rules of the palace, and she didn't dare to ask more.

"Let's go!" Leng Yi walked out. Yusi hurriedly put a special special cloth cover on the entire embroidery piece first, and the seal was painted with fire paint. This embroidery workshop has a special eunuch palace maid guard, plus a seal, even if someone wants to peek, they can't see it. After Yusi was busy, he ran out and chased after him, caught up with Leng Yi, and followed half a step after falling. I don't ask where to go.

Leng Yi walked all the way, and the eunuchs and palace maids he met along the way retreated early one by one and bowed down to salute. Leng Yi just nodded slightly, this is already a rare politeness, if he is replaced by other powerful people, his nostrils are facing the sky, and he will not be ignored, so Leng Yi has the best reputation among the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and they all say that he has no shelf, treats people well, and even the palace maids privately ponder, how to please him and let him be included in the room as a concubine, that is the beautiful thing in life.

Yusi followed Leng Yi to Nanke Temple. Yusi felt a little strange, how could she bring herself to such a place?

Leng Yi walked up the steps and knocked on the door.

After a long time, the temple door made a difficult creaking sound, and slowly opened. A little nun came out, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but her eyes were quite sharp, she looked Leng Yi up and down, saw that he was wearing an official robe, her mouth pouted, and said, "What are you doing?" "The tone is really not good.

Leng Yi said respectfully: "Weichen Leng Yi, Gong is a guard with a knife in front of the official family, and wants to see the flower stamen concubine, in addition to asking the concubine to say goodbye, Weichen also wants to ask the concubine to give you guidance on the art of danqing, I don't know if the concubine can give advice?" ”

"What a royal belt, what a teaching, our senior sister is not available!" The little nun slammed the door shut.

Leng Yi didn't look back with his hands behind his back, and stood for a meal, but didn't hear a response, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door again. It was time to send a cup of tea, and the pretty little nun came to open the door, and when she saw that it was him, she said angrily, "What are you going to do?" ”

Leng Yi smiled: "May I ask if my sister has reported to Weichen?" ”

Hearing Leng Yi call her sister, the little nun wanted to laugh, but immediately put on a straight face and said, "I said, our senior sister is not a guest!" It doesn't matter who it is! Don't say that you are a little royal belt, even if the official family comes, you will not see it either! With that, he slammed the temple door shut again.

This time he used a lot of force, shaking off the dust on the door beam, and it fell in a slurp, spilling all over the shoulders of Leng Yi's official hat.

There is so much dust on this gate, it can be seen that this temple door has rarely been opened.

Leng Yi didn't pat the dust on his body, he just stood there like a benchmark, waiting quietly.

At the bottom of the steps, Yusi looked at him, hesitated for a moment, walked up, and gently patted the dust on his shoulders for him.

Leng Yi turned sideways, looked at her, and said thank you.

Yusi blushed and shook her head, looking at the official hat on her head.

Leng Yi hurriedly took off his official hat and handed it to Yusi. Yusi carefully patted the dust off it and handed it to him with both hands. Leng Yi put on the official hat upright, and stood solemnly for a long time, this time, after waiting for a meal, he still didn't hear the door open, so he stepped forward and patted the door again. He is very patient and elegant when he knocks on the door.

This time, the door was opened quickly, and in addition to the beautiful little nun, there was also a tall and strong nun like a black tower, nearly two heads taller than Leng Yi, and she needed to lower her head to see through the upper part of the door frame in order to see the people outside.

The little nun looked at Leng Yi and said angrily: "Sure enough, it's still you!" - Dasha, give him some color! Let him know that Nanke Temple is not easy to bully! ”

"Good!" The tall nun, nicknamed Dasha, said loudly, and suddenly opened the temple door, stretched out a palm the size of a fan, and grabbed Leng Yi's face door.

However, this time he caught a void, because Leng Yi was gone. She looked around in surprise, but she didn't see Leng Yi's figure, it was very strange, and she heard the exclamation of the beautiful little nun behind her: "Hey! What are you doing? Do you dare to break into the Conan Temple, you don't want to live anymore? Stop, you stop me! ”

Dasha hurriedly looked back, only to see that Leng Yi had already run in quickly. But it turned out that when she reached out to grab Leng Yi, Leng Yi shook her body and drilled under her armpit and ran quickly towards the temple. The beautiful little nun chased after her, but Leng Yi ran very fast, and in a few moments, she entered the temple's Daxiong Treasure Hall. He also shouted in his mouth: "Flower Stamen Guifei Niangniang!" I'm Leng Yi, I'm here to visit you! If you have something to discuss, please see ......! ”

The big fool roared, like thunder: "Stop! If you don't stand still, I'll kill you if I catch you! Although she is tall and big, she has a long step, but she is clumsy and can't catch up with Leng Yi. She was so anxious that she screamed.

However, Leng Yi, who was running in front, suddenly stopped, and Dasha was overjoyed, and he was about to catch him when he caught up, so at this moment, he heard a soft voice in front of him: "Stop!" Dasha, don't be rude! ”

Listening to the voice, it was Mrs. Hua Rui, and Dasha seemed to have been immobilized, and immediately paused.

Dressed in orange monk's robes and holding a rosary, Madame Blossom stood at the door of a Buddhist hall and watched them.

Leng Yi hurriedly ran up and bowed down: "Weichen see Niangniang!" Wechen asked them to report three times, and wanted to come to see Niangniang, but they didn't report, but did it to Wechen, because the matter was urgent, Wechen had to make this decision, broke in without permission, and asked Niangniang to forgive her sins! ”

Mrs. Hua Rui smiled and said, "It turned out to be Lord Leng, let's talk inside." ”

"Thank you! But Niangniang, I also have an entourage, that is, the embroidery girl who explained the embroidery of the characters during the Lantern Festival last time, her name is Yusi, I heard that Niangniang is good at embroidery, she wants to come to ask Niangniang for advice, I don't know if it can? ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Madame Blossom's mouth: "Too modest, I am just asking you about this painting and embroidery skill." ”

As soon as she said this, the beautiful little nun finally chased here, panting and said, "Senior sister! He! He......! ”

Mrs. Hua Rui said: "Lord Leng is not an outsider, it's okay. ”

The little nun was very surprised, Mrs. Hua Rui was already in this Nanke Temple when Emperor Taizu was still alive, and Emperor Taizu set the rules at that time, without the permission of Mrs. Hua Rui, no matter who it was, was not allowed to enter Nanke Temple. After the death of Emperor Taizu, Madame Hua Rui did not receive anyone in the temple, not even Emperor Zhao Guangyi. And now, she actually met with a big internal guard, a small pusher, and even made it clear that he was not an outsider, which simply made the nun and the big fool really confused.

Madame Blossom added, "He has an entourage outside, so please let her in too!" Let her wait in the wing. ――Ling Yan, make tea! ”

Dasha and the little nun named Ling Yan hurriedly agreed, and Dasha turned around and bowed his head and left. Ling Yan looked back at Leng Yi step by step. Leng Yi smiled at her, so angry that she gave him a roll of the eyes.

Leng Yi followed Mrs. Hua Rui into the Buddhist hall, which was very simple in furnishings, but the layout was very neat. Among them is a seated statue of Shakyamuni with an offering table in front of it. Cigarette smoke lingers on the incense burner. In front of it is a futon, and there is a large wooden fish.

Mrs. Hua Rui walked to the closet, opened it, took out a futon from it, placed it on the ground in front of the offering table, and motioned for Leng Yi to sit.

Leng Yi sat cross-legged. Madame Blossom sat down on the futon across from him.

Mrs. Hua Rui looked at him: "Lord Leng said that there is an urgent matter, please say it." ”

Leng Yi was a little embarrassed and said: "That's the case, I have been married for two or three years, my wife has never conceived a child, and the family is very anxious, of course, my wife and I are even more anxious, but we have been to all the child-seeking temples that we can go." Burn incense and pray, worship the Buddha and ask for a son, but I don't know what went wrong, and it still didn't work. My wife and I were so anxious. ”

Mrs. Hua Rui smiled and said: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, no wonder Lord Leng is anxious." ”

"Exactly! Last night, I suddenly had a dream about a middle-aged man with a golden robe, and said that his name was Renzan......"

Mrs. Hua Rui's delicate body was shocked, her sparse eyes were completely gone, and she asked in surprise: "What did he say his name was?" ”

"Benevolence - benevolence of righteousness, praise of praise."

Madame Hua Rui froze and looked at Leng Yi.

Leng Yi was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong? ”

Renzan is the name of Mrs. Hua Rui's deceased husband, Emperor Meng Chang of Houshu. The name is almost unknown to almost no one. After Mrs. Hua Rui also became his concubine, the two were very affectionate, and when they talked about the past, they knew that he was called this name when he was a child. Seven days after he surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, he was poisoned. Therefore, no one in the Great Song Dynasty knows Meng Chang's name. Now, Leng Yi said that he dreamed of a person named Renzan, and his whole robe was shining with golden light, and the golden light was the color that only the emperor had, which further explained that Leng Yi dreamed of his deceased husband Meng Chang!

Leng Yi knew this name, just because Mrs. Hua Rui was too famous, as one of the only few beautiful female poets in ancient times, plus her eye-catching name, so Leng Yi paid attention to some of her information, including his husband Meng Chang's. Saw the name. As a criminal policeman, Leng Yi has developed a special ability in the long-term investigation of criminal cases, that is, he is very sensitive to identity information such as his name, and "Renzan" is used in the emperor, indicating that the emperor is praised by the people because of his benevolence and righteousness, and his name is more special, so he remembers it. I didn't think it would play an important role now.

Madame Blossom shook her head hurriedly and said, "It's nothing, you go on, what did he say?" ”

"He told me that there is a Nanke Temple in the palace, and there is a portrait of him in the temple, which was painted by Niangniang, let me come to the temple to beg Niangniang, let me worship and pray in front of this portrait, and my lady can conceive a son."

Mrs. Hua Rui's delicate body was shocked again, she painted a portrait of her deceased husband Meng Chang in the temple, hung worship, sent mourning, was bumped into by Emperor Taizu, asked who it was, she said that it was Zhang Xian, the local god of Houshu. That's when the past is hidden. Few people know about this matter, and no one knows that the portrait of Zhang Xian hanging is his deceased husband Meng Chang. And Leng Yi actually clearly said that the name of the person he dreamed of and the clothes all showed that it was his deceased husband Meng Chang, if it wasn't really Meng Chang's own dream, outsiders would never know!

I have always wanted to ask this Leng Master to teach me the realistic painting skills, but I am worried that it will arouse the vigilance of the official Zhao Guangyi, and I have been hesitating, it must be that my distraction was known by the spirit of the deceased husband in the sky, and it happened that Leng Yi was begging for a son everywhere, so he gave him a dream and asked him to come to him. So that I can ask him to teach portraits.

Thinking of this verse, Madame Blossom not only moistened her eyes, but also turned her head to look at the Buddha statue, and silently prayed to her deceased husband in her heart: I must learn this technique and draw a realistic portrait of you, so that we can be together at night.

Leng Yi said with a smile: "Look, my wife has never been able to conceive a child, I'm really anxious, I know, Niangniang, you want to practice quietly alone, and you don't want people to disturb you, but, alas! I'm desperate, that's why I'm bothering my mother, I'm really embarrassed......"

"Needless to say, that's what I promise you!"

Leng Yi was overjoyed, hurriedly got up, and bowed: "Thank you, Niangniang!" ”

"You're welcome, I hope you'll give me your realistic drawing and embroidery skills."

Leng Yi was a little embarrassed and said, "There is no problem with embroidery." I'll let Yu Siyusi tell you all the tricks. As for my painting skills, I had to rely on a very special kind of painting tool, without which I would not have been able to paint such a realistic painting. ”

Madame Blossom was a little disappointed: "So, without that painting tool, you can't paint such a realistic portrait yourself?" ”

"That's right."

Madame Blossom thought for a moment and said, "Then can you draw the person who entrusted you with the dream in your own way?" ”

Leng Yi shook his head and said, "This won't work." Because my painting technique is very strange, I can only paint it when I look at it in person, that is, I have to look at the real person to paint, and it can be said that it is exactly the same. However, if you have to memorize the painting or imagine the drawing, you can't do it. ”

Madame Blossom was even more disappointed: "Do you have to look at the painting?" ”

"Yes."

Madame Hua Rui's expression was gloomy, she turned her head to look at the Buddha statue, and lamented in her heart: "Husband, since you asked him to teach me to draw your portrait, but he has to look at your appearance to draw it, you show up and let him see it, and I can watch you all night ......!"

Seeing her sad expression, Leng Yi thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, do you want to draw someone who is not here?" ”

Madame Blossom nodded slowly.

Leng Yi said: "If this person can't come to me, then there is no way to draw him." ”

Mrs. Hua Rui sighed softly, thinking that after learning Leng Yi's realistic painting skills, she would be able to draw her deceased husband, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

Leng Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "If you can find someone who looks similar to him, wear his clothes, dress up like him, let me look at the painting, and then change the appearance according to that person's appearance when embroidering, I should be able to draw a realistic portrait." ”

When Mrs. Hua Rui heard this, she suddenly rekindled her hope, and her voice trembled a little because of her excitement: "Is it really okay to ...... like this?" ”

"I think it can, but I have to find someone who is tall, short, thin, and looks like him. Just wear his clothes. ”
