Chapter 238: Lady Blossom
Wang Jien also nodded frequently, and said: "It's a pity, this is Lord Leng's tool for painting, and without this, you can't paint." Otherwise, it would be best to dedicate it to the official family. ”
Zhao Guangyi looked at Leng Yi with regret: "You said that you want to paint a painting as big as the one you presented to me last time, it will take at least ten years, and I don't have the patience to wait so long." Is there any way to make the embroidery more realistic, like your paintings? ”
Leng Yi shook his head and said: "This is already the best, it can only be achieved by excellent people in the embroidery girl, and ordinary people, it is far from reaching this level." The realism of the embroidery could not be better. Painting is not the same as embroidery, and there is no way to fully achieve the verisimilimide of painting. ”
Zhao Guangyi was reluctant to fumble with the mobile phone in his hand, and said, "Is the painting of Xiao Zhouhou that you helped me paint last time?" I still want to see it. ”
"In! It's in this painting! ”
Zhao Guangyi was taken aback: "Isn't your painting on this painting tool the painting of this palace maid?" ”
Leng Yi smiled and said: "Back to the official's house, my painting tool is a treasure, not only can I draw realistic paintings, but also can hold many paintings, when I want to see it, just turn it out." I'll teach the instructor how to use it. ”
Leng Yi stepped forward and taught Zhao Guangyi how to flip the picture with the volume buttons.
Zhao Guangyi was even more surprised, when he turned out the photo of him and Xiao Zhouhou, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he smiled: "Look, look at the majesty of this Southern Tang Dynasty Empress, how about it?" ”
Wang Jien hurriedly praised it.
Zhao Guangyi said: "I originally wanted her to enter the palace to serve me, but today there is Mrs. Hua Rui present, so it is not appropriate to call her, so as not to cause extraneous branches." ”
Leng Yi's heart moved when he heard this, this Mrs. Hua Rui is too famous, Leng Yi naturally knows.
Like Xiao Zhouhou, Mrs. Hua Rui is also the emperor's woman, but Xiao Zhou Hou is the empress of the Southern Tang Emperor, and Mrs. Hua Rui is the concubine of Meng Chang, the emperor of Later Shu, and is a famous female lyricist in ancient China, and "All Tang Poems" includes more than 150 of her poems. She not only has a peerless face that captivates the country and the city, but what is different is that she never paints grease and powder, but she has a floral fragrance and refreshing spleen. Meng Chang liked her very much and gave her the name Mrs. Blossom. After the Song Dynasty destroyed Houshu, Meng Chang and Mrs. Hua Rui were captured in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin loved this Mrs. Hua Rui, so he poisoned Meng Chang, took Mrs. Hua Rui as his own, and named him a concubine.
As for the fate of Madame Hua Rui later, the official history records are unclear, and there are different opinions about the relevant wild history and the romance of the novel. In the modern version of "The Romance of the Song Dynasty" and "The Romance of the Eighteen Dynasties of the Song Palace", it is said that Mrs. Hua Rui was poisoned by Zhao Kuangyin's later queen for favor, which is very unreliable and not believable.
The more credible is the record of the Song Dynasty, but the content is also different. In the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, "Hearing and Seeing Recent Records" and "Tiewei Mountain Cong Talk" both recorded that Zhao Guangyi saw his brother Zhao Kuangyin indulging in the beauty of Mrs. Hua Rui, and was very anxious, so he accompanied Zhao Kuangyin to shoot and killed Mrs. Hua Rui with an arrow. On the night of the famous "Candle Shadow Axe", while Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was sick in bed, he did something to Mrs. Hua Rui, and was discovered by Zhao Kuangyin, who was afraid of Zhao Kuangyin's revenge, so he killed Zhao Kuangyin and seized the throne.
The book uses the last version that after Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, Madame Hua Rui was still alive.
Leng Yi didn't expect that today's Lantern Festival would be able to see this famous Mrs. Stamen, Leng Yi shook down and was a little curious, wanting to see if she was really as wonderful as said in history.
Zhao Guangyi continued: "If you just care about Mrs. Hua Rui, but Li Yu didn't change his surname, and wrote such a poem, -'The old country is unbearable to look back at the moon'?" - I have been so good to him, but he still misses his homeland, hum! Defeated my appetite! I originally wanted to kill this guy, but when he died, after playing this little week, there would be a lot less fun, so I would keep him with his surname and send them on their way when I got tired of playing with her one day! ”
Leng Yi heard that Zhao Guangyi actually said in front of him that he wanted to kill Li Yu and his wife, but he didn't know his intentions, and he didn't dare to ask more. Listening to the sentence quoted by Zhao Guangyi, it was his plagiarism of Li Yu's "Poppy Beauty". He originally wanted to copy Li Yu's death poem so that he could save their lives, but it backfired, and it was estimated that Li Yu copied it and was seen and stolen by the guard Lu Feilong and others who were in charge of monitoring them and reported it to the emperor. It's really better to be a human being than to be counted by heaven.
The murderous aura on Zhao Guangyi's face slowly disappeared, and he began to play with the mobile phone in his hand again, flipping through and repeatedly watching the photos of himself and Xiao Zhouhou together, and after a while, he said: "It's still good to take this with you, and you can watch it at any time." It's a pity, this is your painting tool, Lord Leng, I still want you to help me paint, and it's not good for you to dedicate it to me. How can you think of the best of both worlds? ”
Wang Jien rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Official, this is not difficult to do, when the official family needs Lord Leng to paint, he will give this painting tool to Lord Leng, and when he doesn't need to paint, he will return it to the official family to play." Isn't it the best of both worlds? ”
Zhao Guangyi was very happy and looked at Leng Yi: "What does Leng Aiqing think?" ”
Leng Yi said: "Of course this is a good idea, but ......"
Zhao Guangyi was originally very happy, he must still have a proviso, he was a little nervous, and asked again: "But what?" ”
"But if the embroiderer wants to embroider, she also needs to see this painting. This needs to be taken into account. ”
Zhao Guangyi has this mobile phone, and he doesn't care much about embroidery that is relatively low in fidelity, but he has a hobby, he likes to watch Spring Palace paintings when he likes it, and the mobile phone is too small, although it is very realistic, but it is not convenient to watch it when he is aware. So I thought it would be better to embroider. Then he said, "What good can you do?" ”
Leng Yi said: "Wechen is trying to tell the official family about this matter, Wechen feels that the dignity of the official family's fortunate woman involves the prestige of the official family, and it is not appropriate for too many people to know, so after these observations, Wechen determined an embroidery girl named Yusi, whose embroidery skills are outstanding." In the future, she will specialize in embroidering the official family's fortunate pictures, and other general drawings will be responsible for other embroiderers. In order to ensure absolute safety, Weichen suggested that the embroidery girl Yusi should embroider alone in the inner court, and the embroidery could not be taken out of the inner court, and should be protected by a special person to prevent leakage. If this is possible, then the embroidery reference to the drawing of the drawing is relatively simple. As long as the official family sleeps peacefully, she can give her the painting tools to observe every day, so that it will not affect the pictures on the painting tools that the official family enjoys. ”
Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed and applauded: "This is very good! Just do what Aiqing wants! He turned to Wang Jien and said, "You arrange this matter." ”
Leng Yi said again: "In addition, there is one more thing that needs to be explained to the officials. ”
"What's the matter?"
Leng Yi pointed to the mobile phone in Zhao Guangyi's hand and said: "Although this painting tool is a treasure, there is a problem, the painting on it will fade in about three days, and the painting will not be seen clearly, and it must be re-rendered before it can be seen, otherwise, it will soon be completely invisible." It's a lot of trouble to fix that. Therefore, every three days, Weichen must enter the palace to re-render this painting tool, and it must be done during the day. ”
Leng Yi's mobile phone is solar-powered, and it can be used continuously without charging, but if the official Zhao Guangyi wants to watch the photos above at any time, he must continue to open the photos, so that the power can only be used for three days at most, and it will automatically enter the power-saving mode, and the picture will be dim, and it must be charged immediately, otherwise the power will run out and it will be turned off.
Zhao Guangyi said: "In this way, then you can enter the palace once every three days, and it is best to come at noon, at that time, I usually take a nap, and you can re-render it at this time." ”
"Weichen Command!"
Zhao Guangyi was very excited when he held the mobile phone, and said, "You gave me such a good baby, I want to reward you well, let's say, what do you want?" ”
Zhao Guangyi was happy, and asked Leng Yi to bid for compensation.
Leng Yi hurriedly said: "The world is all from the official family, and the treasures in the world are also from the official family, so such a treasure is naturally for the official family." As long as the official family is happy, it is the luck of the minister, and there is no need for any reward. ”
Leng Yi knew that the more he said this, the more things Zhao Guangyi would reward, the better.
Sure enough, Zhao Guangyi nodded frequently and was very satisfied, and said: "That being said, what should be rewarded still has to be rewarded, and the rewards and punishments are clear in order to serve the public, well, Leng Aiqing stepped forward to listen to the seal!" ”
Leng Yi hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down.
Zhao Guangyi thought for a while and said, "I will seal you as the royal belt!" ”
During this time, Leng Yi has asked Master Dong to explain clearly the various positions, official titles, ranks, and so on in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, I know that this so-called "imperial belt", which was later renamed "with imperial equipment", is actually what later generations called "guards with knives in front of the emperor", that is, military generals who wear weapons and are responsible for security in the emperor. During the Song Dynasty, there were only a few people who could bring weapons to protect the emperor. Moreover, it was only during the battle that he really protected the emperor with a sword, and in peacetime, the emperor was in the inner court of the imperial palace, and there were also guards who did not need to wear weapons. At this time, this position also became a symbol of the emperor's cronies.
Zhao Guangyi canonized this military attache position to Leng Yi, a civil official, just to show his high trust in him, of course, he didn't need him, a civil official, to carry a knife to protect himself. At the same time, giving him this position, Leng Yi can freely enter and exit the inner court, and he does not need to get the emperor's decree to enter, which is also convenient for Leng Yi to render this precious painting tool once every three days (to charge the mobile phone), and at the same time, he can ask Leng Yi to help him paint the spring palace paintings he needs at any time.
Leng Yi hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.
Wang Jien on the side also said to Leng Yi with envy: "Up to now, the royal belt around the official family, plus you, Lord Leng, is only four people. The other three are all dead soldiers and generals who have followed the official family to fight on the battlefield for many years, but you, my lord, are civil officials who hold this position, which shows that the official family attaches great importance to you. ”
Leng Yi hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, the official's favor to Weichen, Weichen is really broken, and there is nothing to repay!" ”
Zhao Guangyi laughed and said, "I will give you a chance to repay me." Today, there is one thing that needs Aiqing's hard work. ”
Leng Yi hurriedly bowed down and said: "Weichen must do his best to do a good job for the official family." ”
Zhao Guangyi wanted to say, but felt a little embarrassed, so he said to Wang Jien: "You come and tell Leng Aiqing." ”
Wang Jien smiled and nodded, and said to Leng Yi: "Now, you are already a favored person around the official family, and you don't need to beat around the bush to speak, that's the case, the official family loves Mrs. Hua Rui very much, but unfortunately, Mrs. Hua Rui is the concubine of the first emperor, after the first emperor returned to heaven, her heart is like ashes, and she just hides in the Buddhist hall to eat fast and recite the Buddha, and she doesn't see outsiders, it is the official family, and she can't excuse herself." The official family cherishes the nostalgia very much, and can't see each other, very sad, so they have always wanted to have a portrait of Mrs. Blossom to relieve the pain of lovesickness. Today is the Lantern Festival, it is a rare time for Mrs. Hua Rui to meet everyone in a year, if you miss this day, I don't know when I will be able to see it. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Jien looked at Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi looked sad, and it seemed that he was really a lover who was suffering from lovesickness.
Wang Jien continued: "So, the official family wants you to paint a portrait of Mrs. Hua Rui today. However, Madame Blossom may have just made an appearance, met everyone, and returned to the Buddhist hall. The time is very short, I don't know if Lord Leng can draw it. ”
Leng Yi arched his hand and said: "Portraits take time, and it takes at least one meal. Moreover, when Weichen paints a portrait, he must not let anyone see it. If these two conditions are met, a realistic portrait can be drawn. ”
Zhao Guangyi frowned and said: "According to the usual, she will not stay more than one cup of tea at most, and if she wants to work on a meal, she has to think of some way." ”
Leng Yi pointed to the embroidered portrait of the palace maid and said: "The official family can show this embroidery when the time comes, and let the embroiderer Yusi explain the method of this embroidery, so that it may be possible to delay the time." ”
Wang Jien clapped his hands and smiled: "This is a good idea!" They had never seen such a realistic embroidery, including Madame Blossom, who must have been curious as well. When the embroidery lady explained, she asked her to speak slowly, and grind until a meal, during which she could let Lord Leng hide and draw a portrait. ”
Zhao Guangyi also said happily: "This idea is very good!" That's it! However, how to arrange Lord Leng to draw a portrait in front of Mrs. Hua Rui has to be carefully pondered, not only to get close to facilitate observation, but also to show no traces. He turned his head to Wang Jien and said, "You have a lot of ghost ideas, you can find a way!" ”
Wang Jien bowed down and agreed.
Leng Yi said again: "The embroidery girls have been working hard to complete the work day and night, do the officials give them praise?" ”
"That's as it should be, and it must be rewarded!"
Zhao Guangyi asked Wang Jien to be in charge of rewarding the embroidery girl, and then he admired the photos on the mobile phone again, and then reluctantly gave the mobile phone to Leng Yi.
