Chapter 80: A Stroke of God (I)
King Zhao gave the people a three-day deadline to write a business plan, and within three days, each merchant could write alone in the house or discuss with others in the garden. In fact, many businessmen don't really care about the quality of the business policies written, after all, they are not from Zhao Guo, and they really don't have much interest in Zhao Guo's social affairs, so they come to participate in the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce, but they don't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to easily make friends with big businessmen from other countries, so as to expand their own business in the future. Therefore, there are few and few businessmen who write business strategies alone in the house, and most of them eat tea and enjoy flowers in the garden every day, and talk about it, thinking that business strategies are just a piece of paper, and they can write casually on the last day, and it is worth the trip to be able to give Zhao Wang a business when the time comes.
Shu'er and Lin Ying don't waste time in the garden except for meals. They unanimously agreed that instead of going into detail with the old businessmen of those big families, it was better to spend some effort and sincerely offer advice to King Zhao to support his approachable and unashamed spirit.
On the first day, Shu'er got up early and practiced swordsmanship for a while, and then began to write. She knows that everything is difficult at the beginning, and only by writing early can she have time to gradually sort out her thoughts. It is rare to have such a three-day time without worrying about anything, just looking at the small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard in front of the case, thinking and writing quietly.
Qing Yu stood in the courtyard and looked at Huai Wang Jian who Shu'er placed next to the case in a daze, while Yifeng was assigned by Shu'er to accompany Lin Ying to visit Zhao Palace. Lin Ying wanted to draw a "Ninghe Palace Map" to match Shu'er's business strategy, although this picture is to depict the future of the Zhao Palace, but it cannot be scribbled out of thin air, and needs to be based on the current structural layout of the Zhao Palace. He asked the palace people to report to King Zhao and ask if he could visit the Zhao Palace, and King Zhao's response was that Duguqing, the princess of Zhao Kingdom, appeared at the gate of Shu'er and Lin Ying's courtyard.
Duguqing wore a woman's dress at this time, white and red, like a lotus flower out of water. She tied her hair with light makeup, took the white fan in the handmaiden's hand, waved it gently, and said hello to Lin Ying and Yi Feng who were walking towards her.
Lin Ying looked at the appearance of a master and a servant, gossiping like him, even if he guessed that the person holding the fan must be the princess of Zhao who is still rumored to be in her thirties. He hurriedly saluted and said, "I didn't expect the princess to come in person, Su is really fortunate to have three lives!" There is a long way to go! ”
Duguqing's maidservant girl saw that although the handsome son's demeanor was respectful, his words were not restrained, and there was a drop of ink on his cheek that he accidentally rubbed when he was painting just now, and she couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh.
Duguqing said gently: "Your Excellency is Mr. Su, who has outstanding painting skills and fragrant pen and ink?" ”
Lin Ying smiled: "It's Su!" But when he remembered the number of courtesies that Shu'er had advised, he felt a little immodest, so he added bluntly: "Awards, awards." ”
When the servant girl saw that he was cute and cute, she sneered again.
Dugu Qing also said with a smile: "Brother Wang said that Mr. Su wants to visit Ninghe Palace and make a painting, so he specially asked me to be Mr. Su's guide." ”
Lin Ying said: "There is Princess Lao!" But he thought in his heart: "This King Zhao doesn't think that his sister can't get married, so he got such a bureau of the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce to choose a son-in-law for his sister, right?" But he pondered puzzled: "This princess of Zhao is so good-looking, why can't she get married?" I heard that when she was a teenager, she was given to King Song Huai by her grandfather, Lao Zhao, to marry him, but King Song Huai didn't see her, so he sent her back to Zhao as it was, but this was only because King Song Huai didn't want to marry a stinky little girl, not because she looked strange and hateful ......"
Lin Ying was immersed in his own thoughts, Duguqing shook it in front of him with a fan, and said: "I have heard Mr. Su's name for a long time, I will personally be your guide today, and the reward is to ask Mr. Su to draw a fan for me." ”
Lin Ying smiled: "What's so difficult about this? What painting does the princess want? ”
Duguqing said: "Mr. Su is free. ”
Lin Ying took the blank fan, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "I'll take it first, and when we come back from visiting the palace, I'll draw it for the princess." ”
Duguqing said: "Don't worry, just wait for Mr. Su to finish painting the map of Ninghe Palace, and then draw my fan." I don't know if Boss Yan, who came with Mr. Su, wants to visit Ninghe Palace with us? ”
Lin Ying glanced back at Shu'er's room, the door was half-covered, the window was ajar, and at first glance it was the appearance of the doors and windows when she was thinking about things quietly in the past, so she replied: "She is thinking about business strategies, she will not be with us today, and when I finish painting Zhao Gong, she will look at my paintings the same." ”
Duguqing's maidservant had never seen Lin Ying's paintings, so she thought that this "Mr. Su" was ashamed, and couldn't help but smile again.
Lin Ying and Yi Feng followed behind Duguqing and her smiling maidservant, and the four of them walked around the Ninghe Palace all day. Zhao Gong is pure, the pattern is also simple, and Lin Ying has been painting every day for more than ten years, and she has already cultivated a talent for unforgettable, and she already has a sketch of Zhao Palace in her mind.
After returning to the courtyard, he put Duguqing's fan on the stone table, took the colored ink, hurriedly sketched a few strokes, and a woman holding a fan appeared vividly on the fan surface, the woman jade hairpin tied her hair, her back was delicate, she was walking under a simple and elegant eaves, looking up, her side face was hazy.
Lin Ying's original intention was just perfunctory, and she wanted to hurry up and hand over the group fan to paint the giant picture of Ning and Gongtu, but she didn't expect Duguqing to hold the group fan in her hand, and she couldn't put it down and praised it. Her maid also stood beside her with a smile on her face, looking at the fan for a while, and peeking at the inky "Mr. Su" with a red face.
Shu'er was still writing business strategies in the house, but when she heard the excitement in the courtyard, she put down her pen, stretched her waist, and walked into the courtyard. She saw Princess Zhao Guo in Chen Guo who dressed as a man to hand her an invitation, and she was not surprised to see her dressed in women's clothes at this time, so she stepped forward and saluted: "'Dugu Gongzi', don't come unharmed!" ”
Dugu Qing said: "Boss Yan is not strange. I am Chen Guo who traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, and it is really inconvenient to wear women's clothes when I show my head outside. She handed the fan to Shu'er for appreciation, and said, "Mr. Su is really a stroke of genius, and he can express his spirit so shallowly." ”
Shu'er looked at it carefully. The woman on the fan is the princess of Zhao Kingdom. The color of the person in the painting is light, the back and side face look lonely and cold, the eaves are simple, and the feeling is even more depressed. She felt that the reason why Princess Zhao loved this fan was not because of the exquisite painting, but because Lin Ying skillfully captured the desolation in her heart with his sharp gaze. Shu'er couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Perhaps behind the gentle smile of Princess Zhao, there is an unknown sadness.
Duguqing took back the fan and said, "Don't bother the two of you first." I am looking forward to your advice, and even more to Mr. Su's paintings.
