In this way, the progress of this portrait will not go much faster, and it is rare that the artist is patient enough, which saves unnecessary trouble. I've heard before that the painters in the palace won't even give the face of the concubine, and when the portrait of the concubine Xiong was painted, there were still people who didn't do it.

After painting for a long time, the artist retired first.

Mother Du took the beauty hammer and beat it to Chu Liangrao: "The county lord is really tired, and he can't move when he sits, it's really hard." ”

"It's good to sit, but it's the burden to stand." Chu Liangrao leaned on the pillow, 'touched' her stomach and said, "It's good to wait for this lump of 'meat' to come down." ”

"It's only been two months." Mother Du said with a smile.

Chu Liangrao smiled softly.

Except for the first day when people came to the palace, after that, the painter came to paint a portrait, so after more than half a month, there was news in the palace, saying that Huo Tainan was named the general of Pingnan.

Seeing that Junma was promoted again, Du's mother was overjoyed and said, "Junma is really a person with great talents. Seeing Chu Liangrao thoughtful, she thought about it carefully, and then she also thought of the question, the county master is going to protect his relatives, how can he be made a general?

Thinking about it, Du's mother said, "Do you want someone to inquire?" ”

Chu Liangrao shook her head slightly, and said, "After a while, someone will come to the 'door' to say goodbye, and it will be clear when the time comes." ”

As expected, after a while, someone came to the 'door' to say goodbye, and the first to arrive was Mrs. Xiong, followed by Mrs. Cao.

Although the two of them are incompatible, now they tacitly do not pinch each other again, but congratulate Chu Liangrao on Huo Tainan's military exploits.

You and I are talking word by word, Chu Liangrao also heard the reason, there was a civil 'chaos' in Daxin, Huo Tainan encountered a 'chaotic' party on the way to protect his relatives, and he eradicated them all, which not only protected the princess, but also maintained friendly relations between the two countries, and this kind of credit deserves to be awarded.

Now that the edict has not been issued, the news has come out, which shows that the saint intends to leak 'dew'.

As he spoke, the painter came.

Mrs. Xiong got up to say goodbye with her eyes, but Mrs. Cao hesitated, she looked at Chu Liangrao's belly, and wanted to talk but didn't know where to start.

After hesitating, I heard Ding Lan say crisply: "Sir, please." ”

Chu Liangrao got up: "Mrs. Cao, there is something in the house, so I won't entertain you." ”

Mrs. Cao was bored with herself, so she had to leave.

When she walked out of the house, she saw that the carriage of the Xiong family had not gone far, her face changed a few times, and she finally stepped forward.

Chu Liangrao in the house sat upright as before, her eyes were as bright and soft as autumn water, this demeanor has never changed, it is said that each other is born from the heart, and she can have such eyes, and her heart is not bad.

The painter picked up the brush and carefully depicted it, with a focused expression.

Although there are people in the house who serve 'serving', they are all quiet, even if they serve tea and water, they don't 'make' any movement, which shows that the rules in the house are strict.

After another half a day's work, the painter took his leave, and from his expression, he should be satisfied with what he painted today.

As soon as the painter left, Zhen'er said: "County master, the slave maid just took a look, and it is really exactly the same as the county lord." ”

"In the end, the painter in the palace has two brushes."

Zhen'er was puzzled and said, "Isn't the pen that Mr. uses?" When to use a brush. ”

"This girl." Du's mother laughed.

Chu Liangrao couldn't help laughing.

"County Lord, Mother Qiu is here."

"Let her in." Chu Liangrao said.

Qiu's mother came into the house, made a big salute, and said, "Congratulations to the county lord, now that the county horse has been promoted to a general, you have survived." ”

Chu Liangrao frowned almost undetectably, and said, "The edict hasn't been issued yet, so I can't do it." ”

Mother Qiu said with a smile: "The old lady said that the county horse has made a great contribution, and it is possible to be a prince and a marquis, and the county lord does not have to worry." ”

"Mom, you can't say this 'nonsense'." Chu Liangrao glanced at Qiu's mother, "If you want to spread it, only our own face is ugly." ”

With a smile on her face, Mother Qiu said, "What the county bishop taught. ”

"Mom is here to congratulate you?" Chu Liangrao asked.

It was rare for Chu Liangrao to divert the topic, and Qiu's mother hurriedly said: "The old lady also asked the old slave to convey a few words to the county lord, that is, the splendid workshop can never be touched, this is what the prince said." ”

Chu Liangrao nodded slightly: "Go back and tell my grandmother, I know it in my heart." ”

This kind of attitude really doesn't seem like a mental one......

Qiu's mother couldn't help but feel worried, if she hadn't talked too much in front of the old lady at the beginning, how could the old lady have said those words that she ignored, but now that she has said it, is it difficult to let her go to the old lady and say that she is sowing discord?

Hasn't she been busy all these years?

Thinking about it, Mother Qiu squeezed out a smile: "County Lord, no matter what you say, the old lady is also your dearest, it's too late to be good to you, how can it harm you." ”

"Hmm." Chu Liangrao replied and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

The rest of the words were held in her throat, Qiu's mother coughed lightly twice, and said, "It's okay, it's just that the old lady is worried about the county lord, and I don't know when the county lord will be able to visit the old lady." ”

Mother Du stood up and said: "Mother Qiu, you have also seen that now the county lord is heavy, and it is already hard to paint a portrait alone, and I am afraid that I will be more tired if I go back and forth." ”

This is also said, the portrait is the meaning of the saint, Qiu's mother can't be reluctant to talk to the saint, so she immediately had to say: "County lord, you may have some misunderstanding between you and the old lady, the old lady will say that, it's all because the county lord is pregnant with a 'girl' child, and now that the county horse has been promoted to general, maybe he will change his mind......"

Before the words fell, Chu Liangrao's face turned cold: "Get out!" ”

Seeing Chu Liangrao's anger, Mother Du hurriedly asked Yahuan to hold Qiu's mother: "Mother Qiu, let's go." ”

After Qiu's mother left, Chu Liangrao's expression eased a little, and Du's mother asked, "County Lord, is this too much?" Anyway, she is also the person next to the old lady. ”

Glancing at Mother Du, Chu Liangrao said, "Is it possible that I want to swallow my anger for the sake of her dignity?" ”

Mother Du knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly said: "County Lord, don't be angry, Mother Qiu has spoken a little too much, but what she said is what the old lady means after all, if you refute it in person, I am afraid that the old lady will feel uncomfortable when she hears it." ”

Chu Liangrao only smiled and didn't say anything.

And Du's mother also came back to her senses, now that the county horse has been promoted, the old lady feels sorry for the county lord It's too late, where will she blame, the county lord is a capable ...... Seeing that Qiu's mother understood, Chu Liangrao raised her hand to 'touch' and 'touch' her stomach. Although what the old lady said was reasonable, Huo Tainan also said that boys and girls are the same, and he won't mind. Moreover, the ancients' method of distinguishing men and women may not be effective, if it is really a "woman", it is also good, and the "woman" is an intimate little padded jacket.
