Leng Yi was helpless, so he had to continue to ask, "Who else is there at home?" ”

"Grandparents, parents, sisters-in-law, sisters, younger brothers and sisters." Yusi replied shyly.

"Oh, there's a lot of people in my family. How many people are there in total? ”

Yusi said: "Thirteen." ”

"Hmm!" Leng Yi looked at her with his body, lowered his voice, and said: "Below, what I want you to embroider needs to be kept absolutely confidential, except for yourself, you can't let anyone know, even if you are asleep, you can't say it!" Otherwise, your family of thirteen, grandparents, parents, brothers-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, all of them will accompany you to be beheaded, and may even be connected to the rest of your family! Maybe the man you like! Do you understand? ”

Yusi was frightened and nodded quickly.

Leng Yi looked at her for a long time, then took out the mobile phone from his arms, called up the photo of Xiao Zhouhou wearing a dress, and handed it to Yusi: "Does this person know each other?" ”

Yusi glanced at it and nodded: "It's Mrs. Zheng Guo, right?" ”

"That's right. Here's what I painted. Leng Yi said: 'You can depict what this portrait of hers looks like. How long will it take? ''If you don't embroider the depiction, it's about an hour at most.'' ''Well, I'll wait for you!'' You start drawing. Leng Yi asked the attendant to make a cup of tea for himself and Yusi, and he stood by the side, watching Yusi look like the photo depicted. The phone was too important to be missed, so he would rather wait here.

Yusi first used a special embroidery grid to net the mobile phone, find the main location map of the photo part, then locate it, and then draw it with a line. She is very skillful in her movements, and after this time of contact, she has mastered how to copy a photograph as an embroidery pattern.

In order not to disturb her, Leng Yi sat far away, but came over from time to time to take a look. Seeing that her characters are constantly plump, comparing the photos and embroidery, the appearance is almost the same, of course, the style is a white drawing technique, so there is no three-dimensional sense of the photo, and after the embroidery comes out, there is it, looking at the rain silk wonderful brushwork, Leng Yi sighed in his heart that this girl is really ingenious.

Sure enough, when the hour was approaching, Yusi finished the drawing. Leng Yi looked at it, was very satisfied, took the phone, turned his back, and called up a painting, this one, but it was a nude photo of Xiao Zhouhou naked, and sent it to Yusi.

Yusi glanced at it, screamed, and quickly covered her mouth, her face flushed with shame, and she turned her face away.

Leng Yi said: "You can paint this portrait now." ”

Yusi is very shy, but she can't refuse. However, she took more time to copy this photo, because she was very shy and could not depict the key parts accurately. It took nearly two hours to complete, and there were still some unsatisfactory points. But Leng Yi can also understand.

By the time this embroidery was finished, it was already past noon.

There was exquisite food delivered from the imperial dining room, and the two of them ate it and continued to work.

This time, Leng Yi brought up another photo, which was a photo of the official Zhao Guangyi and Xiao Zhouhou. Hand it to the rain.

This time, Yusi was directly frightened and fell to her knees, not daring to get up.

Leng Yi said, "Now, you know why I warned you like this before, right?" ”

Yusi nodded tremblingly.

Leng Yi said: "You don't have to be afraid, as long as you don't leak this matter, there will be no problem." If it's done, the officials will reward you heavily. ”

Yusi just wants not to cause trouble, where can she expect to be rewarded, but now that she has seen the painting of the official family and Mrs. Zheng Guo, it is the highest secret of the royal family, if you show the slightest bit, it is indeed a capital crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans. Cold sweat was dripping from her forehead, and she felt the urge to cry.

Leng Yi said: "You don't have to be so afraid, this painting was painted by me, you just embroidered according to the painting above, if there is any sin, it is also in front of me." Besides, this is a task assigned by the official, and nothing will happen. Just pay attention to absolute secrecy. ”

"Concubine...... Absolutely dare not ...... Leak a word! Yusi said tremblingly.

"That's good! Hurry up! ”

"Yes!" Yusi got up, took the phone, and looked at it with a blushing face. She had to look closely at every detail of the entire photograph in order to reproduce it as accurately as possible. However, she is a yellow flower girl, and she is a female surname educated under the feudal system in ancient times, she has never seen the Spring Palace painting, let alone directly seen the man's thing, especially the first temptation in life such as male and female love, and wants to copy, but her hands are so trembling that she can't even hold a pen. Where can I copy accurately?

Leng Yi saw that she was trembling for almost an hour, and she hadn't even drawn the outline of her face. Looking for this, I'm afraid that I may not be able to draw it in a month, and even if it is, I am afraid that it will not be accurate. This photograph depicted with the embroidery technique of the Song Dynasty has a certain gap with the original photo, and it is also distorted to a certain extent. Coupled with the things drawn by this girl in this state, I am afraid that it is even more different.

Leng Yi saw that his head was westward, so he sighed, put away his mobile phone, and said to Yusi: "Let's get here first today." ”

Yusi knew that her performance behind her failed to satisfy Leng Yi, the eldest man, and she was shy and embarrassed, and she was panicked, lowered her head, and said tremblingly: "I'm sorry for ......, I'm sorry for ......."

"It's fine!" Leng Yi smiled, as if he had expected it, and said warmly: "However, you must pass this level." You also know that this matter is related to the reputation of the official family, and it must not be known to others, so I only chose you one of so many embroidery girls. But find someone else. Perhaps those middle-aged embroiderers who are married are more suitable to complete this task, but their embroidery skills are obviously not as good as yours, this is difficult to surpass, and the things of men and women can be quickly surpassed. Therefore, I need you to quickly cross the threshold of men and women. That's why I kept asking if you had a man you liked. Do you understand? ”

Yusi Bingxue was smart, and immediately understood what Leng Yi wanted her to do. Shy and happy, he nodded slightly, but lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.

Leng Yi said: "You have reached the age of getting married, and you have a man you like, I want to know, why didn't you say kiss, and didn't set a marriage?" Say it, if there is any difficulty, maybe I can help you. Only if you get married as soon as possible, we can complete the task of embroidery faster. ――Now, tell me first, who is the man you like? ”

Although Yusi was shy, she already knew that this matter was very important and she had to say it. After a while, he said in a low voice: "It's ......, it's a guard ...... the palace." ”

"What's it called?"

"Huang Xiaozhong."

"How did you meet?"

"Before I entered the palace, I was an embroidery lady in an embroidery workshop, and he often came to buy my embroidery, saying that my embroidery was very good, and recommended and guaranteed me to enter the palace as an embroiderer. He came to see me often. ”

"Then why didn't he marry you?"

Speaking of this question, Yusi's expression was a little gloomy, and said: "He doesn't have much money, and the bride price my father wants is very heavy......

Leng Yi understood, but it was also understandable that Yusi's embroidery skills could make a lot of money, and once she got married, she couldn't make money for her mother's family, so she naturally asked for a lot of dowry. Leng Yi said: "That's it, I'm out of your bride price!" ”

Yusi was surprised and delighted, and then said gloomily: "My father's bride price is very high. ”

"How much does he want?"

Yusi said in a low voice: "One million Wen ......"

Leng Yi smiled and said, "It's high enough, but it's not enough to stump me." - I've got you out! ”

Yusi still shook her head: "I can't ask for so much money from the eldest master." ”

"Okay, then I'll lend it to you, don't worry, you just have to do what I ask, and the reward of the official family is absolutely indispensable! One million Wen, you will soon be able to earn it back and pay me back. ”

Yusi looked at him, as if she didn't believe it. ”

Leng Yi said: "Okay, just do as I say!" This is also to fulfill the holy decree of the official family, which is non-negotiable! You know? ”

As soon as Leng Yi played an official tone, Yusi didn't dare to say anything, so she could only nod her head and agree.

Leng Yi said again: "Later, I will send someone to send you the money, and my request is to get married as soon as possible." After getting married, I can only give you a maximum of one month to get used to the Spring Palace paintings, and I will send someone to send you the Spring Palace paintings for you to study. Your husband is a palace guard, he should know the rules of the court, you can't ask what you shouldn't ask, and you can't tell him anything about your work. In the future, you will be responsible for all the spring palace paintings involving the official family, and you must do your best! Do you understand? ”

Yusi nodded shyly and agreed.

Leng Yi said: "Now, you go to your guard brother to tell me about this, and then wait for me at the gate of the palace." ”

Yusi couldn't imagine that what she couldn't dream of would be realized immediately, she couldn't help but be ecstatic in her heart, and hurriedly thanked Leng Yi Fuli, and went out in small steps happily.

Leng Yi rolled up the three embroideries that had been painted and the embroidered palace maid embroidery. When I went out, I saw that it was already evening, and it was almost time to go to the banquet, so I went straight to the inner court of the palace.

The imperial city is in the capital, it is a city within a city, and the imperial city is divided into two parts, the front part is the emperor summons the ministers to the court to discuss state affairs, or discuss confidential matters with the important ministers of the military aircraft, as well as the reception of tributary envoys of other countries, the place where the celebration is held, simply put, it is the emperor's office area. In addition, some of the ancillary facilities of the imperial palace are also here, such as the barracks for the guards of the imperial city, washing, dyeing and weaving, and embroidery rooms, etc., are also in this area. In this area, the ministers of the imperial court who were ordered to enter the palace were free to move.

The inner court was where the emperor and his women lived. Under normal circumstances, the only men who move here, except for the emperor and the underage prince, are eunuchs without handles. The adult prince has to move out and live in his own prince's mansion. The ministers of the imperial court are not allowed to enter the inner court, except under special circumstances, such as the imperial doctor who comes in to treat the sick. Or for urgent military affairs, it is necessary to summon individual important ministers. There is also a lantern like this Lantern Festival.

Lanterns hang in the garden. Although Leng Yi was only a pusher from the sixth grade, he was invited by the official family to go to the imperial garden in the evening to enjoy the lanterns and eat wine.

Leng Yi arrived at the door of the inner court, and the emperor's personal eunuch Wang Jien personally greeted him at the gate of the palace. Seeing Leng Yi coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Leng!" ”

"The Prime Minister of the King!" Leng Yi also arched his hand and said, "It's too late, right?" ”

"It's not too late, there are still a lot of princes and ministers who haven't come yet."

"Oh! Well, I wonder if the official family has time to meet Weichen alone? Wechen wants to talk about embroidery. ”

Wang Jien had already seen the embroidery scroll in Leng Yi's hand, and was very happy, and said in a low voice: "It's finished?" ”

Leng Yi smiled bitterly: "It's just the first step, this is even more difficult than we imagined." There are some things that I have to get permission from the official family to continue, so I want to report them to the official family alone. ”

"Hehe, it's just right, the official family asked our family to wait here, just to summon Lord Leng alone!"

Leng Yi hurriedly said: "Do you have any instructions from the official family?" ”

Wang Jien smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know in a while!" Let's go! ”

Leng Yi followed Wang Jien into the inner court and came to a courtyard outside the imperial garden, which was heavily guarded, and it was obviously Emperor Zhao Guangyi inside.

Wang Jien asked Leng Yi to wait outside for a while, and then went in to report by himself, and then came out and said with a smile: "The official family asked you to go in immediately!" ”

Leng Yi held the scroll, stepped in, and came to the house, only to see that the room was not big, just a warm pavilion, with a blazing fire inside, full of spring, and on a golden dragon chair, holding the emperor Zhao Guangyi. A dark, fat face was looking at him. There was no one else in the house.

Leng Yi stepped forward and bowed: "Weichen meets the official family!" ”

Zhao Guangyi said excitedly: "Flat!" ――How's the embroidery doing? ”

Leng Yi said: "A sample has been completed, because the stakes are very important, before we are sure that we can start, Weichen will first make a sample and show it to the official." ”

"Very good, open me and take a look!"

Leng Yi asked Wang Jien to help unfold the embroidery of the palace maid as a model and show it to Zhao Guangyi.

When Zhao Guangyi saw it, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he stood up, walked down, looked carefully in front of the embroidery, and said, "Okay!" It's really realistic, it's good! ”

Wang Jien was also full of praise on the side.

Leng Yi said: "If this is compared with ordinary embroidery or other painters' paintings, the realism alone is far exceeding, but compared with Weichen's paintings, it is still quite insufficient." ”

When Zhao Guangyi heard this, he took a closer look at it again, and said, "Leng Aiqing, take that little painting of yours to me and take a look at it again!" ”

Leng Yi hurriedly took out the mobile phone from his arms, the big touch screen of the mobile phone had already called up the photo of the palace maid, and the lock screen had already been used, except for the volume key flip screen, the touch screen and other keys could not be used, don't worry about Zhao Guangyi inadvertently turning out other things. He handed the phone to Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi glanced at the mobile phone photo in his hand, then at the embroidery, and nodded slowly: "Just looking at the embroidery, it is already very good, but compared with the painting you draw, it is still quite inferior." Your drawings are much more realistic. ”
