When I returned to the house, I didn't go to meet the staff who screened the painters first, and the staff had already selected a painter with a more distinctive personality, and the others were naturally dismissed with some money.

Looking at the painter standing in front of him, he didn't show surprise.

This person seems to be respectful, but his back is very straight, and he seems to have his own arrogant bones; Can such a person teach a little girl in peace?

However, these are not what he should worry about, he just let people settle down the painter and go to the prince to go home.

"Master, the painter has been screened out."

"Bring it here."

didn't nod in response, and after going out, he ordered someone to bring the painter over; The painter saw that he didn't do it, and his heart was clear, because everything was under control, he acted slowly and logically, leisurely, and quite a little bit of neither humility nor arrogance.

"Painter Ling, please."

"Yes."

Don't say please, Painter Ling won't listen to his kind words, and his attitude towards no-wei is still the same.

Stepping into the study one after the other, he said to Zhou Ting, who was busy sitting at the table: "Master Shizi, Master Ling is here." ”

"The grass people knock to see the prince."

Painter Ling naturally knelt down to salute, but only on one knee, not on both knees.

Zhou Ting pushed away the business at hand and looked up at Painter Ling; The discord was evident at a glance at his etiquette, but he said quietly, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Lord Shizi."

Painter Ling got up, his waist straight.

When Zhou Ting saw it, he subconsciously thought of the phoenix lantern painting that made Mingyi look sideways; In the blink of an eye, the thought flashed and hidden, and no longer appeared.

"No, the pen and ink are waiting, please draw a proud work of Master Ling."

"Whoa."

Not to go out for a while, bring back a set of unused study treasures; Of course, it's not a treasure, it's just an ordinary supply in the house.

Painter Ling was not surprised by the other party's temptation, and adjusted the ink to make the brush.

Less.

A black and white phoenix picture jumped on the paper, and the last stroke fell, and the painter Ling closed his stroke.

"Master of the world, the grass people have finished painting."

Buwei stepped forward, holding the ink that had not been completely dried in both hands and sent it to Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting glanced at it and said with satisfaction on his face: "Yes, living alone style." ”

"The prince is falsely praised."

Zhou Ting got up and walked out of the bookcase, picked up the works of Painter Ling with one hand, and asked, "I don't know if Painter Ling can paint in the market?" ”

"Occasionally."

"Before, Ben Shizi had seen a lantern at a stall in the night market." Probing words.

Painter Ling's eyes flashed slightly, "I take the liberty of asking, is that one selling sachets?" ”

"Exactly." Zhou Ting bowed his head and returned the painting to him casually, "I think it is the work of Master Ling." ”

"Back to the world, it's just clumsy."

"Your painting is very popular with a friend of my grandfather."

"It's a blessing for the grass people."

After a long time, I realized that this Ling painter is not an interesting person, he has a strong character and is arrogant; However, he is very lacking in dealing with people, and if such a person does not change, he is only suitable to live in the environment in which he lives now.

Zhou Ting didn't want to continue to entangle with him, so he said: "Master, this friend has the idea of learning to paint because of your paintings, is Master Ling willing to go and teach?" ”

"I don't know who the prince's friend is?"

"Don't ask, you just say if you want to; If you don't want to, you can find other painters. "It doesn't have to be.

Undecided matter, involving a girl is not suitable.

His cover-up behavior made Master Ling frown, "There is nothing to say to people, if the prince is like this, the grass people can only be unwilling." ”

"That's it, no, send Ling Painter."

"Whoa." Don't do it sideways, please," Ling painter please. ”

Painter Ling's mouth opened slightly, and then looked at Zhou Wang Shizi, who had already turned around and walked to the table, but he didn't say the words that came to his mouth; It's just that in the end, I was unwilling in my heart, I was arrogant, but I never expected that this prince of Zhou would be so decisive.

Not to lead people out of the house.

During this period, Ling wanted to inquire many times, but was diverted from the topic without looking for a topic.

Until he left the house, he couldn't find out the news he wanted.

"Painter Ling walks slowly." Not in place for etiquette.

Painter Ling nodded, walked out without saying a word.

Don't pout, turn around and leave disdainfully; There are more and more people who have seen all kinds of people around Shi Ziye, and Painter Ling's idea is not enough to see in front of him, let alone show off in front of Shi Ziye.

It's just a painter, and he doesn't even have a reputation.

If it weren't for Cheng Xiaoniang's desire to learn painting, would the prince be able to recruit painters in the northwest? Pull it down.

At the beginning, the gentleman next to the prince was a great Confucian invited from Kyoto, and he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; If Cheng Xiaoniang wants to learn more, I am afraid that the prince will do everything possible to invite the Kyoto Confucian to come and teach.

"Master, send it away, that Ling painter wanted to inquire about you repeatedly on the way out of the mansion." When I returned to the study, I told the story again.

Zhou Ting lowered his eyes and continued to deal with official business, "A person who prides himself on being high, don't care. ”

"That, Cheng Xiaoniang's learning to paint"

"The beginning of February next year is the birthday of this son, and I don't plan to make a big deal; I wrote to ask the teacher if he might rush back, but he hadn't seen the teacher for two years. ”

Buwei smiled slightly, "If you go to the letter in person, the Buddha Taishi will definitely come over." ”

Zhou Tingwan immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Buwei.

"Order someone to send it to the teacher."

"The slave understands, so he will be sent to it."

Bu took the envelope respectfully, handed it to the secret guard after going out, and sent two guards to escort the letter to ensure that it was delivered to the Brahman.

Following.

Not to get up two quarters of an hour early, he personally retrieved the hot roasted whole lamb and steak, and loaded the fruit and saplings into the truck.

According to the master's instructions, the cook in the big kitchen got up and prepared a lot of various pastries for loading on the truck.

"Master, all the things are put in the carriage."

didn't make arrangements for looking, let the carriage wait outside the house, and then he turned to his master's side to serve.

Zhou Ting put on a red coat, "Don't forget the saplings." ”

"Don't worry, you can't forget anything and you can't forget the things you brought to Cheng Xiaoniang." Not for flattery.

When he thought of that energetic little girl, he could always be happy when he saw her; It was a joy that spread from the depths of my heart, the kind of joy that seemed to have known her for a long time, and I wanted to get closer to her when I saw her.

Touching the thick clothes on his body, the corners of Zhou Ting's lips hooked slightly, and the smile spread in his eyes.

"Let's go."

You can feel the joy of his anticipation even if you don't get close.

The master and servant walked out of the room one after the other, and boarded the carriage while the night was dark; accompanied by a team of guards, as well as a group of secret guards such as the Dark Five.

When they arrived at the city gate, the city gate was not opened, and the guards had just arrived.

"It's the prince of Zhou."

"Open the gates!"

"Open the gates!"

The guards passed the words one by one, and the guards, who had been sleepy, suddenly dozed off and were in good spirits; The thieves who run fast one by one, where can you see the laziness just now.

The gates opened, and the convoy left the city smoothly.

Zhou Tingdao: "As a guard, lazy and undisciplined, today the guard will return to the camp to practice again." ”

"Yes." The secret guard outside the car replied respectfully.
