Chapter 51: A Draw
Yu Jin moved quickly, and less than half a pillar of incense was finished. Li Shizi and Tang Ergongzi carefully took it away, Liao Fanlin trotted back very quickly and put on a piece of paper, and motioned to Yu Jin to continue painting with his eyes. Yu Jin quickly drew again, a pillar of incense burned out, and Yu Jin completed two paintings.
When the Empress Dowager saw Yu Jin's painting, she nodded and motioned for a grandmother to take down the original painting and put the new painting on it, which was almost not much worse. Even the seal of the White Lotus Master is painted.
The emperor saw two paintings, and the paintings copied by Gongsun charmingly have been completed except for the words. He groaned a little embarrassed, Gongsun had a very high level of charming painting skills, but it was still much worse than Yu Jin's painting.
announced that Gongsun was charming and lost, and the emperor did not want Gongsun to lose face and announce that he would win, which would be too unfair.
"Miss Yue, what do you think of these two paintings?" The emperor decided to listen to what Yu Jin had to say, and he believed that Yu Jin was a smart person and would give him a satisfactory answer.
Yu Jin took a serious look at Gongsun's charming paintings, and said indifferently: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers think it's a draw. Miss Gongsun can spend an hour looking at a painting, and draw it in a pillar of incense, which proves that she has good painting skills. The courtiers have said that this painting has been copied many times, and the courtiers just practice makes perfect. "
"Well, my daughter of Liang Guo should be so open-minded." The Empress Dowager praised.
The emperor was relieved, and said very quickly: "Since Miss Yue said that it was a draw, I will announce a draw according to Miss Yue's judgment."
"Girl Yue, do you have a seal." The Empress Dowager called Yu Jin very kindly, and her words were kind and kind.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, the courtiers have a seal, which is a gift from the eldest brother, and it has not been used yet."
"Take it with you."
"The courtiers brought it." Yu Jin took out her handbag and flipped out the seal and presented it.
"Then the first time I opened the chapter today, it was printed on this painting, and Mama Su took out the seal of the mourning family." The Empress Dowager personally stamped her seal and motioned for Yu Jin to put her seal below.
"What about another painting? Take it. The Empress Dowager looked at the crowd around the table and lightly instructed her father-in-law who was waiting beside her.
The two fathers-in-law trotted over, leaving the few people who were arguing about the ownership of the painting in amazement.
"Daughter-in-law, this painting is given to you by the mourning family, put it down!" The Empress Dowager looked at the stamped painting and said to the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother raised her head, she understood that the Queen Mother meant to let her go, not to care about the charming affairs of her grandson, and at the same time let go of her father's and brother's hatred to live for a long time. She looked at the emperor's gaze, which had been following Gongsun charmingly, and nodded with a long sigh.
"Daughter-in-law, the mourning family and you asked for this girl's painting, you can't help but give some grace, what do you say to give!"
The queen mother took off the emerald jade bracelet from her hand, and said to Yu Jin and Yan Yuese: "This is a thing in the palace of the former dynasty, the first emperor gave it to me, and this palace gave it to you."
The Empress Dowager pulled out a white jade crested hairpin from her head, looked at the hairpin and said, "Girl, with this crested hairpin, you can see the emperor and the queen don't have to kneel." Give you a good life to keep it. "
"Courtiers Xie Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager gifts." Yu Jin took the hairpin and the whole body translucent emerald bracelet and thanked him.
The emperor reminded majestically: "Miss Yue, the imperial grandmother and queen mother have collected your paintings, you can no longer paint this painting at will."
Yu Jin hurriedly agreed, and at the same time told the emperor in detail where the painting went, "The courtiers understand that from today onwards, they will no longer draw the map of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and this painting will be copied in a total of ten paintings, one for each of my brothers and sisters, and it will be used as a dowry and dowry." The other two..."
"Girl, give me a picture, my old wife believes in Taoism." Liu Guogong was pushed out by the old marquis of Dingyuan, and hurriedly interrupted Yujin to speak.
"This is the queen's father, the grandfather of the country." The little father-in-law on the side saw that Yu Jin didn't seem to know him, so he hurriedly reminded in a whisper.
"Yu Jin has seen Grandpa Guo, and one of the remaining two paintings is ready to be given to Grandpa Guo, thanking Grandpa Guo for interceding in front of the little female grandfather and letting the little female father enter the door. Yujin also had to trouble Grandpa Guo to continue to help, and the little girl's parents were expelled by her grandfather because the little girl was in poor health, and she had a reputation for unfilial piety. Yu Jin was terrified and wanted to go to her grandparents to ask for sin, and another painting was given to her grandfather. I don't know if Grandpa Guo is willing to help the little girl fulfill his wish. "
Liu Guogong laughed proudly: "Haha, that old thing will listen to me, if he dares not to let you enter the door to visit, I will lift his table, and I will take you to my grandfather's house another day."
The queen pursed her lips and explained to the emperor, "My father and the old Dingyuan Marquis are old friends, and the two play chess together, often annoyed and flip the table, and then forget it, and they still have to quarrel when they play again." "
The emperor smiled and nodded, "Miss Yue remembers your promise." "
"The courtiers dare not forget."
Liu Guogong was so excited that he laughed back, and he didn't forget to raise his eyebrows with Lao Dingyuanhou, looking like he was cheap and begging for help.
Gongsun walked up to Yu Jin charmingly and saluted without words or deeds, both of them showed appreciation for each other in their eyes, but both of them knew that neither of them would forget their hatred. Yu Jin understands that she is better than knowing Gongsun Charming, but Gongsun Charm does not know her, since then, Gongsun Charm will no longer underestimate her opponent, and whoever has a higher strategy in the future will rely on her skills.
Tang Er Gongzi's eyes rolled, hooked Changbai's neck and whispered, and after a while, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Yue Dagongzi agrees, when Tongsheng Teahouse opens, the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Chart will be exhibited for ten days for everyone to observe."
Li Shizi saw the emperor with a smile, and he stood up and announced: "In the Tongsheng Restaurant, there are a few great Confucians, the king sacrificial wine lord Luo Shen Tu, and Chang'e running to the moon poems and paintings, which are the treasures of the town tower." There are also poems and paintings of the great talent of the dynasty and the poetry and painting of the martial champion Wen Tanhua Liao, welcome to watch and comment. "
There was a buzzing sound below, and Yu Jin quietly retreated to her seat without saying a word.
Zhu Yuchen was so aggrieved that everyone who squeezed in to look at the painting seemed to be more familiar than his fiancé, and he was squeezed out of Yujin's side unconsciously. He was depressed and had nowhere to vent, the culprit who caused everything to happen was himself, it was he who forced Yu Jin to go to the General's Mansion as a promise to be evergreen, if he hadn't tied up Changqing, how could Yu Jin get acquainted with these dog-skinned plaster-like sons? When they watched Yu Jin paint, he was excluded at all. They ignored him, and even his cousin didn't even look at him. Whoever he recruits and provokes, why is it all aimed at him!
"You kid is guilty of public anger, who loves to take care of you." General Zhuguo couldn't help but speak, he was Yujin's own uncle, although the two families did not interact with each other, he could clearly see the dissatisfaction in the hearts of those boys.
Zhu Yuchen said aggrievedly: "Uncle Wu, did I do something wrong?"
"Go back and go yourself." General Zhuguo smiled mysteriously.
Zhu Yuchen suddenly grinned, "Hehe, it's useless to be jealous of me, no one can snatch Jin away if it's mine." "
General Wu couldn't get used to Zhu Yuchen's smug appearance, so he poured cold water on the side, "Hmph, you kid don't be beautiful, that's not necessarily, as long as my niece doesn't marry you, they will have a chance." "
"Uncle Wu lied to me, that's because they don't understand Jin, Jin is a person who makes a promise, she promised to marry me and will never change, you don't believe it and we'll see." Zhu Yuchen figured out the reason and raised his bright smile again.
General Shenwei heard the whispered conversation between General Zhuguo and his son, and couldn't help but smile and mutter, "This is a stupid boy."
General Wu nodded with deep sympathy: "Well, my niece may take a fancy to him for being stupid and easy to repair, those are the best of the human spirits who can't grasp it, so she chose your son."
General Shenwei couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said in his heart that I am really stupid as my son, I am just humble and understand.
"My niece has great talent, great wisdom, big heart, filial piety, modesty, gratitude, knows how to advance and retreat, and is not worse than men." General Zhuguo proudly leaned over and whispered.
General Zhu nodded in agreement, and at the same time said in an angry voice: "Well, your niece is good." It's a pity that people don't recognize you. "
"I don't recognize... I'm also her uncle. General Zhuguo almost choked to death by the words, and was so angry that he turned his head and ignored General Shenwei after speaking, and General Shenwei's heart was finally balanced.
Sitting behind General Zhuguo was his second son Wu Yan, Wu Feng didn't come because he was on duty, he had already understood that it was this cousin who beat him on the night of Shangyuan, and now he felt his face hurt when he remembered the backhand slap. He gloated and said to Zhu Yuchen: "I am Yujin's second cousin, and I am one year older than her. You should be careful not to provoke my eldest cousin to lose her temper in the future, or she will beat you. "
Zhu Yuchen nodded: "I know."
"You know, you've been beaten too?" Wu Yan asked with a surprised glare.
"Hey, no. But... than being beaten. It scared me for three years... That one... Didn't dare to sleep well. So you have to be careful. You are good to her, she will protect you, you have to dare... You understand. "
"Understood." Wu Yan nodded solemnly.
There was nothing new in the talent show that followed, and everyone was not interested. By the time the meeting was dismissed, Yu Jin got the performance clothes sent by the queen and left, it was close to dusk.
The four of them had already received a notice from Mrs. Wu and began to prepare the things used in the dance. This can't be regarded as a dance, it should be a musical and dance drama arranged by Gong Jiuling drawing on a variety of elements from her era, this script is ready to enter King Ping's mansion to show King Ping, and take the opportunity to complete the task of assassinating King Ping, but also because of the scene where Yu Jin was shocked to learn of her daughter's identity, and ran away with Xi Nu in anger to attract the border pass to save Zhu Yuchen.
After Gong Jiuling rehearsed, he found that if he assassinated King Ping, all these children would not survive, and he couldn't bear to give up the play. She readjusted the layout and sent Bai Zhao and Leng Hui to mix into the Pingwang Mansion, Ah Xiu stayed outside to deal with the aftermath, and Xi Nu sneaked into the Yue Mansion to wait for Yu Jin to go home. The other members of Lone Goose are responsible for answering and ensuring that she and Yujin leave safely after completing their assassination targets.
"Miss, we're ready, just waiting for you to come back and rehearse for the last time. I have already explained clearly that Zhang Yue and Xing Ji are responsible for the behind-the-scenes voice. "Xi Nu couldn't wait to show his merit when he caught up with Yujin.
Yu Jin instructed: "There are performance costumes in the car, you go and try on whether they fit or not, and let Ah Xiu carefully check whether the clothes are sewn to be strong to prevent problems when dancing."
Xi Nu agreed, and asked people to take off their clothes and take them back to the backyard for inspection.
"Big brother." Yu Jin has been waiting in the outer courtyard where Changbai lives, and Changbai and Dr. Zhuge came back a little late.
Changbai asked in surprise, "Eldest sister, is there something wrong?"
