Chapter 81: Goodbye

Xie Xiangcun said: "During the Spring Festival, Wechen was fortunate to be selected by the Holy Lord as a co-ordination, which is the greatest honor of Wechen's life. In order to commemorate forever, after the sacrifice, I wore the dress of the day and asked Princess Ruyi to draw a portrait of Weichen. For example, the princess not only painted it carefully, but also framed it herself, which was only completed recently. I wanted to invite the saint to mention the ink treasure to increase the meaning of the painting. ”

Qian Hongzuo's calligraphy, although not as clumsy as Xie Xiangcun, is also very ordinary. Zhen Jinshu's painting is a treasure that is hard to find, Qian Hongzuo worried: "The calligraphy of the lonely king, I'm afraid it is not worthy of the painting of a princess." ”

Xie Xiangcun said: "The word that Weichen wants to ask the saint to inscribe is: God bless Wu Yue, the so-called "heaven" refers to the saint, only the holy lord will bless Wu Yue. Therefore, the inscription of any calligraphy is not as good as the holy ink treasure, and the meaning is appropriate. ”

Qian Hongzuo thought for a while and said, "Okay, since Aiqing has a request, how can King Gu not agree?" ”

Zhen Jinshu ordered the maid to bring a painting bucket, poured out Xie Xiangcun's portrait from it, untied the ribbon, and unfolded the scroll. When all the scrolls were revealed, Qian Hongzuo gasped and stared at the scrolls intently. It is a fine brush painting, painted so that even the hair is buttoned, the delicate depiction is rare in the world, the patterns on the clothes, the silver crown on the head, and the buckle on the waist are highly restored. The most amazing thing is that the characters in the painting are lifelike and vivid, as if they are about to come out of the painting with a summons. And the beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, the spirit is flying, and the face is full of happiness and joy.

Qian Hongzuo exclaimed: "Princess Ruyi's painting skills are really amazing!" ”

Zhen Jinshu said modestly: "The saint has won the award. However, this painting is indeed the most satisfying work I have been painting for many years. If I hadn't promised to give it to Mr. Xie early in the morning, I would have wanted to collect it myself. ”

Qian Hongzuo asked: "Princess, can you still paint another painting that is exactly the same according to this painting?" ”

Zhen Jinshu said: "It is possible to draw an eight- or nine-point portrait, but it is difficult to do exactly the same." When I painted the first draft of this painting that day, Mr. Xie had just finished attending the ceremony, Mr. Xie and I were both excited and emotional, the success or failure of the painting also depends on the right time, place and people, imitation of the painting, can imitate the appearance, but it is difficult to imitate the charm. ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "Then this painting, I wonder if Xie Aiqing can give his love to the lonely king?" ”

Xie Xiangcun and Zhen Jinshu were taken aback, they didn't expect Qian Hongzuo to be so loved.

Xie Xiangcun said euphemistically: "Holy Lord, this painting is really meaningful to Weichen. ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "Aiqing, it means more to me. Look at the ears of wheat you are holding in the painting, how full they are, and how auspicious they are. This painting is painted so realistically, which shows that I, Wu Yueguo, will have a bumper harvest every year. In this way, it is better to let Princess Ruyi draw a military lesson map in the future, and draw the scene of the three of us talking about the past and the present together. After the painting is completed, the lonely king will definitely never rob Aiqing again, and it will be given to Aiqing now. ”

Xie Xiangcun and Zhen Jinshu glanced at each other, and they both felt that Qian Hong Zuo Laipi asked him to inscribe the painting, but he actually grabbed it and didn't let go, but promised Xie Xiangcun the painting that didn't exist at all.

Qian Hongzuo hugged Xie Xiangcun and comforted: "Aiqing, you believe in Princess Ruyi, she will definitely be able to paint the three of us in one place better." After that, he kissed Xie Xiangcun's cheek and said, "That's it." The lonely king still has something to do, so let's step back first. ”

Xie Xiangcun and Zhen Jinshu had no choice but to retire.

Zhen Jinshu saw that Xie Xiangcun was quite disappointed, and persuaded as he walked: "It's okay, the coming day will be long, I will definitely draw a portrait of Lord Xie that you are satisfied with." ”

Xie Xiangcun shook his head noncommittally, looked back at Qian Hongzuo, Qian Hongzuo was also looking at him, and finally the two still looked at each other and smiled, waving goodbye to each other.

The next day, Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Jinshu set off early in the morning to return to their hometown to sweep the tomb. Concubine Tian and other ladies of the inner palace, and the sisters who lived with Zhen Jinshu in the Hall of Meritorious Heroes, as well as Qian Hongqi and other royal children, all gathered to send each other, and the standard of courtesy was extremely high. Everyone has been sending Zhen's mother and daughter to the gate of Luocheng, and the guard of honor led by Xie Xiangcun is outside the gate of Luocheng to greet Zhen's mother and daughter.

Zhen's mother and daughter had more than 40 honor guards, and there were many maids, and the speed of the march was quite slow. Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Jinshu sat in the same carriage, and Xie Xiangcun rode next to the carriage, often picking fruits on the side of the road and handing them into the carriage, very attentive. After walking for a while, Xie Xiangcun said to Zhen Jinshu: "Princess, the scenery outside the car is beautiful, why don't you ride a horse for a tour?" ”

Zhen Jinshu was quite delicate and had never practiced salvo shooting, and said: "I can't ride a horse, so I have lived up to the good scenery." ”

Xie Xiangcun said: "It's okay, I'll teach you to ride a horse." If you learn to ride a horse, you will definitely be able to experience the joy of chasing the wind. ”

Mrs. Zhen asked worriedly, "Will it be dangerous?" ”

Xie Xiangcun said: "Duchess of the country, please rest assured, my horse is quite human, I will lead it in front, and I will let go when the princess has mastered the trick of the royal horse." ”

Zhen Jinshu is everyone's best lady and has always been more polite, but because of his special relationship with Xie Xiangcun, he has always looked at him differently, and even got out of the carriage.

Xie Xiangcun dismounted at the same time, hugged his fists at Zhen Jinshu and said, "It's rude to be humble." ”

As he spoke, he picked up Zhen Jinshu by the waist and put it firmly on the saddle, Zhen Jinshu was so ashamed that his face was flushed, and he felt infinitely sweet, and he was a little at a loss.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Zhen smiled secretly in the car.

Xie Xiangcun said: "Don't be afraid, princess, I have it." ”

Zhen Jinshu nodded, the man in front of him has the kind of temperament that makes her feel at ease, no matter how dangerous it is, it seems that she can get through it safely with him.

Xie Xiangcun led the horse, and at the beginning, he tried to let the horse go as slowly as possible to reduce Zhen Jinshu's panic. After only a while, Zhen Jinshu no longer felt afraid, but was attracted by the beautiful scenery of the surrounding mountains and peaks, and said: "The scenery I see when I ride a horse and ride a car is really different. Xie Xiangcun looked back and smiled, Zhen Jinshu's face was flushed again, she was originally down-and-out and generous, but in front of Xie Xiangcun, she was particularly shy.

The bell on the horse rang crisply. Surrounded by the aroma of grass and trees, the beautiful mountains are on the side of the road, and the person he cares about the most, carefully leading the horse for himself, Zhen Jinshu suddenly has a feeling of being in a trance like a dream. If it was a dream, she wished she never woke up; This road to the distance, Zhen Jinshu hopes to keep going slowly like this.

On this day, the mother and daughter of the Zhen family came to the Xiangshui River. The water surface of this river is open and the water is turbulent, and in the honor guard of the Zhen family's mother and daughter, there are several carriages for their mother and daughter and maidservant to ride, which are difficult to transport by ordinary ferries, so Xie Xiangcun transferred two warships from nearby sailors to transport them.

When the honor guard of the Zhen family's mother and daughter came to the river, there were already sailors waiting for them on the shore. The two sides greeted each other, and the captain of the sailor in charge of this errand was surnamed Tong, and after meeting the Duchess and Princess Ruyi, he met Xie Xiangcun again. Xie Xiangcun saw that it was not early, so he ordered the belongings, carriages and horses to be loaded into the boat immediately, and everyone also got on the boat one after another, waiting for the complete equipment to cross the river.

It was the first time Zhen Jinshu had seen this kind of large-scale warship capable of firing fierce fire oil, but in the weapon atlas she collected for Xie Xiangcun, there were already patterns of this kind of warship.

After a while, the wagons and belongings were loaded, and the warship was about to go ashore, when suddenly two horses galloped along the riverside in the direction of the warship. The people on the horse, all dressed in the jujube red clothes of the chamberlain, shouted while galloping on their horses: "Lord Xie, please don't sail the boat." ”
