As soon as Zhao Lei came, he saw the scene of the two brothers and sisters having a hairpin on their heads, and couldn't help laughing: "Not bad, yes, both are suitable." ”

The fourth prince also smiled and said: "You are surprisingly good at painting, since you say it is good-looking, I think it is really good-looking." ”

Zhao Lei asked them: "Someone brought two pots of chrysanthemums, they are really good, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

Liu Yan asked: "If people ask us who we are, how are you going to introduce us?" ”

If you want to say that it is Zhao Lei's relatives, then his relatives are all relatives of the emperor.

Zhao Lei shook his head: "Don't worry, they won't ask more." ”

It's true?

It's true.

Zhao Lei led them to a pavilion, where there were four or five people surrounding two pots of flowers, and when they saw Zhao Lei leading two fresh faces, they didn't ask a word, just greeted with a smile: "Come and enjoy the flowers, just wait for you, you can't reward in vain, you have to draw it for me when you turn back." ”

Zhao Lei agreed, but the other person was not happy: "Why do you ask to draw it?" This flower is not yours after all, why should the painting be given to you, if I want to say that this painting should belong to Brother Liao, today he is the master, the place is his, and the wine and food are also his, we are so stained with such a big light, shouldn't this painting belong to him? ”

Well, the flowers haven't finished yet, and they're going to quarrel first.

These people didn't care who the two people who came at all, and they didn't ask their names and surnames.

Liu Yan somewhat understood what Zhao Lei meant.

These people are a little bit ...... Well, uninhibited, unconventional.

Q: What is the origin of the name? What is the hustle and bustle? Is that necessary?

In most of their opinion, rules and etiquette are the most boring things in the world.

Liu Yan didn't care about these people anymore, and concentrated on looking at the flowers.

These two pots of chrysanthemums are indeed special and have not been seen before. One pot is white, and the leaves are obviously chrysanthemum leaves, but look at the flowers...... At first glance, the appearance of this flower is not like a chrysanthemum, it is a little like a peony, the petals are particularly large, particularly stretched, layer by layer, the color is beautiful, and the form is delicate.

Liu Yan said with some doubts: "This is a bit like a peony ......"

The person who said he wanted to paint it just now said happily: "Yes, yes, I think I should give it a name, it's called Sai Peony." ”

The others refuted him: "What, this name is too ugly, you listen to it yourself, is it like a wild flower and grass that does not flow into the stream?" Tacky. ”

Liu Yan also thinks that the peony is not good, there is nothing wrong with the peony, the key is to use the word ...... It's really too unpopular.

Besides, people are obviously a chrysanthemum, and they always feel very strange when they are named peonies.

Another pot of flowers is not unusual, it is the general thousand-headed chrysanthemum, but the color is good-looking, dark purple, shallow pink, staggered and cascading, deep and shallow, a pot of flowers will bloom four or five pots of lively.

It's all quite chic, indeed.

Liu Yan admired the flowers, and went over to watch Zhao Lei paint.

The fourth prince was not so interested in flowers and plants, Mao De came in and whispered two words and retreated, Liu Yan knew that something must be wrong, otherwise Mao De would not have come over at this time.

"If you have something to do, just go, and I can go back later."

Zhao Lei stopped his pen and raised his head: "I'll go back and send her back." ”

The fourth prince nodded: "That's fine, don't play too late, go back early." ”

Liu Yan sent the fourth prince to the outside of the pavilion, and watched him gradually walk away, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

I don't know what Maude just said, but I hope it's not a trouble.

The little brother is not a child anymore, after becoming a parent, he will also move out of the palace, and he will not go to the palace to study again, and it is not as convenient for Liu Yan to see him in the future, so he can go whenever he wants.

There were also people on the side who laid out the drawing paper and stared at Zhao Lei tightly, apparently planning to wait for Zhao Lei to finish painting and start copying. After all, Zhao Lei only has one painting, and if they want it, they can only copy one and bring it back.

Liu Yan had something in mind, and his mind didn't fall entirely on the painting.

The pavilion is on high ground, and you can clearly see people coming and going outside the wall not far away, riding cars, riding horses, carrying burdens, there are women wearing hats and wandering on the street, and there are people with high noses and deep eyes, who look different from the Central Plains people walking by.

It could be Hu Shang.

I heard that there were a lot of Hu merchants in Beijing in the past two years, and they came from distant foreign countries, brought goods completely different from the Central Plains, and took away many Central Plains products from the capital.

How far is that? Maybe it will take months on the road? What is it like to be in a foreign country on the other side of this long road?

She stood there for a moment, and when she turned her head again, there were more people in the pavilion than before, leaning against the railing and talking. They sat in an eclectic manner, one carrying a flask, the other sticking his head out to catch a drink from under the spout.

Not far away, Liu Yan could smell the aroma of wine.

The Chung Yeung Festival has just passed, and everyone drinks chrysanthemum wine in season, which is sweeter than rice wine, and more refreshing than rice wine and fruit wine.

Zhao Lei's painting has already been painted, and it is not easy to adjust the color in this hurry, so he didn't paint the pot of lively chrysanthemums, but painted the pot of race peonies - well, let's call it by this name for the time being, anyway, its new name has not been taken out yet.

This painting was unfolded and copied in front of several people, and Liu Yan went over and said to Zhao Lei: "Give me the painting, I'll take it back to my mother to see." ”

Zhao Lei was suddenly a little nervous: "Just take it away?" Or I'll take it and have someone frame it first......"

Empress Cao treats people gently and generously, especially treats her sons-in-law, Zhao Lei and Liu Fang are both people who have lost their mothers since childhood, but the husband and wife have the same respect and admiration for Queen Cao. Liu Yan didn't take it seriously if he wanted to draw Zhao Lei, but as soon as he said that he wanted to show it to Queen Cao, Zhao Lei suddenly became nervous. If Liu Yan had said it earlier, he would definitely paint more carefully.

"You don't have to frame it, it's good, and it's the same when you go back and frame it."

Zhao Lei asked her in a low voice: "It's because I didn't think about it thoroughly, you don't know the people here, are you bored?" Why don't I send you back first? ”

Liu Yan shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I don't have to socialize, but I'm comfortable." ”

The people here are almost all fresh faces, and I have been to many flower viewing parties in the past, but who are those people who are rushing to enjoy the flowers? The girls go green, incense, enjoy flowers, and worship birthdays...... All kinds of social contacts, in fact, are just to marry a good family. When it comes to appreciating flowers and flowers, those who appreciate them are not flowers.

Today, no one else in this flower club doesn't recognize her, she doesn't know these people, and no one here treats her as a princess, Liu Yan feels relaxed. Blowing the wind to enjoy the scenery, neither too noisy nor too deserted.
