After the emperor list came out, as Shu Ruo expected, the entire Yanjing City was discussing this matter. Anyone who has a daughter in the family wants to marry her daughter into the Four Princes' Mansion, after all, almost everyone has a chance on the emperor's list. On weekdays, which prince chooses a concubine, and which princess's identity is not extremely noble, no matter how high or low the status is, as long as the daughter of ordinary people can be favored by the four princes, it is enough. Those who don't have daughters at home, or whose daughters are still young, beat their chests at home, just hate not to catch up with this once-in-a-century opportunity.

It is conceivable that the painters of Yanjing are very busy. Families rushed to grab the painters. If this is changed to another prince to choose the princess, it may be the daughters of each family who are scrambling, but it is definitely not as good as the god of war choosing the princess. After all, the image of the God of War in everyone's minds is incomparable.

Shu Ruo painted several portraits of women of different styles that he imagined imaginary, each as delicate as a flower. No matter how I look at it, I feel very satisfied, and I plan to rely on these beautiful pictures to make a name for myself in publicity.

"Xi'er, come and see, how about it."

Xi'er walked over, looked at the beauty picture, and opened her mouth wide in surprise. "Brother, is this a fairy sister? The beauty is the same as that of a fairy. ”

Hearing Xi'er's emotion, Shu Ruo giggled, "I painted it casually, it's not bad!" ”

"It's beautiful."

Considering that women who have not been out of the cabinet in ancient times are not suitable for showing their heads, it is not appropriate to sit on the street and paint. Shu Ruo made a promotional poster and indicated his address, set up a stall for a day to do publicity, and received a few orders, so he left Xi'er there to publicize and receive orders. Shu Ruo painted in his own courtyard.

At first, Shu Ruo just had this idea, but he didn't think it might be possible, but fortunately, Xi'er had a good voice, and the publicity was the first thing, and Shu Ruo's beauty pictures were too eye-catching. Before the tenth princess came to Shu Ruona, there was a lot of trouble, and Shu Ruo still had many people who knew about it. The most important thing is that there are too many women who admire the cold, and the people revere the god of war, and now there is an emperor's list, everyone is equal and everyone has a chance, and Yanjing's painters are now seriously insufficient.

Yanjing spread, there is a painter in Xishu Hutong, painting the portrait of the beauty is lifelike, delicate and lovely, spending a little more silver, you can also design the shape, the girl is painted vividly, and there is a unique temperament of each person.

The threshold of Shuruo's small courtyard in Xishu Hutong has been flattened, and whenever you go, you can see girls waiting in line, and Xi'er doesn't have to set up stalls to advertise. The big family wanted to ask Shu Painter to come over the house to help Miss Fushang paint, but Shu Ruoyi was too time-consuming to refuse, so he could only go to the Xishu Hutong courtyard to line up.

Palace.

"Brother Jiu, take me out of the palace to play, please, I was punished by the fourth brother for painting, and the paintings are moldy, but it is not easy to coax the queen mother to help me intercede with the fourth brother, you can take me out to play!" The tenth princess dragged Leng Yan and didn't let go.

Leng Yan looked at the tenth princess dotingly, and said helplessly, "Okay, take you out to play." ”

Leng Yan took the tenth princess to the place where Shu Ruo set up a stall on weekdays, but he didn't see anyone, so he looked left and right. I wondered, could it be that something happened to Brother Shu, and he didn't come to set up a stall today.

"Brother Jiu, what are you looking at?"

"Brother Shu has been setting up a stall here to paint before, but he didn't come today."

"You mean that Shu Ruo?"

The umbrella seller next to him took Shu Ruo's silver, and if anyone asked for her portrait, help tell her where to find her. The peddler heard the conversation between the Leng Yan brothers and sisters, and interjected, "Are you looking for Shu Painter to paint?" In the past few days, Shu painters have stopped setting up stalls here, and they want to find him to paint in the courtyard at the mouth of Xishu Hutong, where he lives. ”

"Thank you for informing!" Hearing this, he took the tenth princess and walked towards the courtyard of Xishu Hutong.

Why are there so many people, Leng Yan When they came over, Shu Ruo's small courtyard was overcrowded, and there were quarrels.

"I'll come first."

"I'm going to draw first."

"I'll give double the money."

"I'm Miss Prime Minister's Mansion, I want to go first."

……

Shu Ruo was blown up by the noise, and yelled: "Give me quiet, you have to quarrel elsewhere, when I am a vegetable market, I don't care which house you belong to, I will come first and come first." ”

was yelled at by this, and they all quieted down, and some of them wanted to debate a few words, but they all endured it.

"Xi'er, let them line up to get the number plate." Shu Ruo instructed Xi'er to look at the women in the courtyard, "Young ladies, you get a number plate in order, I will draw it for you according to the number, the number is more backward and postponed to tomorrow, you can come again tomorrow, if you want to wait here, if you don't dislike it, I have tea and pastries here for you to enjoy slowly." If you continue to argue, I won't be able to draw properly, and I'll delay you all. ”

The girls and ladies in the yard had to do it even if they had any opinions.

Leng Yan, the tenth princess walked in and saw Shu Ruo stop, "Brother Shu, you are very lively today, it's not the right time for me to come." ”

Shu Ruo, who was taking a breath, saw Leng Yan's eyes lit up, "Xiao Jiu, you came at the right time, buddy, is buddy doing my brother a favor?" ”

Hearing Shu Ruo's words, Leng Yan felt like he was calculated, who told him to still think about Shu Ruo's so-called sister, even if he knew that there was a cliff in front of him, he still had to jump in.

"How?"

Shu Ruo heard the words and saw the hook, "Look at my customers all over the yard, they are all delicate young ladies, little brother, I feel sorry for them for waiting too long, too tired, you help me draw together!" ”

"Bold, how can you let my ninth brother draw these women." The princess was not pleased.

Leng Yan felt that it was nothing, he could please his future brother-in-law, and he could learn by the way, so why not do it. Take the easel on the other side and start preparing.

"Ninth Brother ......"

"Good boy, Brother Jiu will take you to play after he is busy." After saying the call, he began to paint a portrait.

The tenth princess stomped her feet angrily, but she had no choice but to sit and watch.

Seeing that there was an extra person I didn't know to help paint the portrait, some young ladies had opinions at first, and some of them were willing to paint him because they looked good-looking. Later, everyone saw that Leng Yan's painting was also good, so they had no opinion.

The tenth princess didn't know if she was too bored, or if she was too focused on watching Leng Yan and Shu Ruo's painting and was infected by the atmosphere, so she also joined the portrait. In this way, the speed of the three people is much faster.

In the evening, the last young lady was sent away. Shu Ruo roughly counted the number and called Leng Yan, the tenth princess. "Thank you today, Tenth Princess, this is yours, Xiao Jiu, this is yours." And he gave them the money.

The tenth princess said disdainfully, "This princess doesn't look down on your money." ”

"Brother Shu, what are you doing here?" Coldly incomprehensible.

"Give you a share, I know that you are all richer than me, but I don't want you to help me for nothing, of course, I just divide you fifty percent according to your labor, don't say I'm stingy, I want to take half of the list, it's normal." Shu Ruo said that he was still a little arrogant.

The tenth princess glanced at him and wanted to return the silver to Shu Ruo.

Princess, don't underestimate these ten taels of silver, this is the first time in your life that you have earned from your own labor in addition to your royal status and wealth. What a meaningful and memorable event. And Xiao Jiu, don't be polite to me, if you don't take the silver, I'll be embarrassed to ask you for help next time. ”

After listening to Leng Yan, he didn't refuse, after all, he was also selfish.

After listening to Shu Ruo's words, the tenth princess thought about it, and didn't know if she was moved by Shu Ruo's words, or if she really felt that this day was very meaningful, and asked with some anticipation, "Shu Ruo, can I still come to paint tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, I can't ask for it, multiple people help, I don't want to be too easy!"

The tenth princess smiled.

After a day of painting, I was tired to death, but I had to treat myself to a good meal. Shu Ruo suggested that she invite everyone to Juxianglou for dinner, but she had to go to the Four Princes' Mansion to deliver the paintings first. Xi'er saw that they were all princesses and princesses, and she was a little timid, and she didn't go to dinner when she wanted to go somewhere else.

went to the Four Princes' Mansion to send paintings, but it happened that Leng Han was there, and when he heard Leng Yan say that Shu wanted to invite him and the tenth princess to Juxianglou for dinner, he asked Shu Ruojie if he minded having one more person, and he also went with him.

Shu Ruo complained in his heart, you asked it all, do I dare to say that I mind? It just so happened that I thanked him last time for not inviting him to dinner, but rubbed a meal at his house, and I was happy to see it. It's so crowded.
