Entering the box upstairs of the restaurant, everyone sat down.

Gu Xianhe poured Jiang Ning a cup of tea and said ashamedly: "The grass people didn't know that they would run into Liu Fang today, collided with the adult, and asked the adult to forgive him." ”

Jiang Ning picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a smile:

"What does this have to do with Mr. Gu?

In addition, when the official traveled today, he had the idea of playing lightly and simply, and it was better to keep a low profile as much as possible. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Gong Yuedao, who was standing and waiting:

"Later, when you are boating on Taihu Lake, you just need to pick some astute brothers to follow me, and you must not be too ostentatious."

Gong Yue immediately received the order.

And He Yuyao, who was sitting at the table of the ladies next to her, heard this, and walked over to He Ran and said, "Father, you know that your daughter is seasick, so you won't go this time."

The daughter of the simple daughter is familiar with the daughter of the political envoy of Zuo Bu in Suzhou, and she happened to meet her today. ”

"It's okay like this, I have to take care of you when I can save it, and I will disturb the adult Yaxing."

Jiang Ning heard the conversation between the two and subconsciously turned his head to look.

I didn't want to meet He Yuyao's gaze.

seems to be delicate and angry, with shy eyebrows, and the end is soul-seducing.

Jiang Ning couldn't bear it, and hurriedly turned his face away, but saw Zheng Fangrui staring at him tightly, and there seemed to be a different smell in his eyes.

As a result, he was quite embarrassed and said, "Fang Rui, you don't have to serve the master, go and eat on the side." ”

Zheng Fangrui saluted and walked to the female table on the side.

Gu Xianhe, who saw her for the first time today, saw this scene and showed a thoughtful look.

Obviously, Jiang Ning's attitude towards Zheng Fangrui is not like that of an ordinary maid, she is extremely delicate and beautiful, and the two will inevitably have something to do with each other.

Gu Xianhe stroked his beard, called Steward Guo on the side, and whispered:

"Master, I have one less generous gift for Mrs. Jiang, so you can go and buy some more."

A meal, the guests and the host are happy.

After the meal, He Yuyao took two delicate and lovely little maids and rushed to Suzhou City in a sedan chair.

Jiang Ning and others came to Taihu Lake pretending to be ordinary scholars.

It is worth mentioning that Gong Yue knew that his adults were going to swim in the lake, so he sent people to search and explore early, strangling the possible danger in the cradle.

At this time, around Taihu Lake, there are all travelers and hawkers dressed as inner factories.

On the surface, it looks like the years are quiet.

Under the leadership of the host Gu Xianhe, the group came to the small pavilion by the lake.

"My lord, the weather is right today, boating on the lake, Cailing game is the most wonderful.

After we finish swimming in the lake, how about drinking and talking here, eating and watching the scenery? ”

Jiang Ning nodded and praised: "Great goodness, Mr. Gu has a heart." ”

While everyone was talking and laughing, a boat suddenly sailed out from among the overlapping lotus leaves, heading towards the shore.

As the distance got closer, several scholars of different ages walked out of the cabin.

There are also two delicate little ladies beside him.

While drinking, he laughed and laughed with the little lady.

It's not romantic.

And one of the middle-aged scholars finished drinking the wine in the glass, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Zheng Fangrui on the shore.

Looking at her in an emerald dress, like a small jasper, I couldn't help but have my eyes lit up.

"Okay, good, I don't want to travel today, but I can still meet such a beauty."

When the rest of the people heard this, they also turned their eyes to Zheng Fangrui and praised one after another.

"Yes, delicate but not glamorous, charming but not vulgar, really a beautiful girl."

Because the boat was very close to the shore, the conversation between several people reached Zheng Fangrui's ears.

She immediately put on a pretty face and took a few steps back with disgust on her face.

I didn't want Jiang Ning to stand next to her, so as soon as she retreated, her body was attached to her master.

Zheng Fangrui was startled, and hurriedly moved her jade feet lightly, and stood behind him with her face down.

At this time, Gu Xianhe saw the appearance of everyone on the boat, and couldn't help but scold:

"Don't be rude."

The scholar who called Ziwei exclaimed:

"Ah, it turned out to be Master Gu. I think that the little lady is the maid of your house, but this is just right, I will go ashore and paint such a beauty, which is an interesting story. ”

Hearing such a dissolute word, everyone frowned.

Jiang Ning looked at Gu Xianhe and said, "Who is this?" ”

"My lord, this person is a talented man in Wuzhong, Tang Yin, and next to him are his friends Xu Zhenqing, Wen Huiming and Zhu Yunming, all of whom are known as the four great talents of Wuzhong.

Tang Yin likes to paint pictures of ladies the most, and today I was fortunate to see the lady's maid, thinking that I felt beautiful and wanted to draw it, and I collided with the adult for a while.

If the adults are impatient to see them, I will have them driven away. ”

Jiang Ning suddenly said quickly;

"No need, since they are the four great talents, please come up and meet each other together.

I have heard of Tang Yin's name for a long time. ”

I've never heard of it.

This master became famous and high-spirited, and he didn't want to get involved in a fraud case after the imperial examination and lose his fame, and then he was poor and frustrated all his life.

But his calligraphy and paintings are extremely popular among the people.

Gu Xianhe listened to Jiang Ning's words, nodded again and again, and hurriedly sent someone to call Tang Yin and the others to come up.

Zheng Fangrui, who was behind, listened to the conversation between the two, and saw that Jiang Ning actually took the initiative to call these frivolous scholars up, but she felt that she ignored herself, and she was ashamed and angry in her heart.

It's just that because so many people are present, it's not good to directly attack the temper of the official lady.

"Ziwei, come and greet me to the adult."

Gu Xianhe pulled the four talents forward and introduced the identities of Xia Jiangning and Zheng Fangrui.

Tang Yin suddenly put away his frivolous look, bowed down and said:

"The grass people don't know that this girl is an adult's maid, and where they collided, please ask the adult Haihan."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty." ”

Tang Yin saw that his attitude was easy-going, he put his heart at ease, and couldn't help but say boldly:

"My lord, when the grass people saw your maid, they really couldn't bear to draw it, I wonder if they can get their wish?"

"How not."

Jiang Ning responded with a smile.

If you can get a picture of Tang Yin's lady, you can't find it.

And Zheng Fangrui saw that he didn't even ask himself, so he directly agreed, and his heart was even more angry, he stomped on his lotus feet, intertwined his hands in front of him, and parted his pretty face.

Jiang Ning noticed her expression, and suddenly realized that he was abrupt, and hurriedly walked over and begged in a low voice:

"Fang Rui, this is a famous talent in Wuzhong, Danqing is rare.

If you get a pair, you can use it as an heirloom.

You see? ”

Zheng Fangrui heard the meaning of his words, and subconsciously thought that he was going to treat his paintings as family heirlooms, and couldn't help but be happy and ashamed.

It's just that the thought of standing motionless in front of so many people for others to draw makes me feel embarrassed.

However, she still bowed her head slightly, stared at Jiang Ning with beautiful eyes, and said angrily: "Since the master has begged each other like this, the slave and maid should not be justified." ”

"Okay, well, I know that Fang Rui is the most caring."

Jiang Ning was overjoyed, and regardless of his identity as the master, he said a lot of flattering things, called the delicate little lady, and lowered her head with a red face.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Yin took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and drew Zheng Fangrui standing in the pavilion.

Everyone watched with curiosity.

But with a few strokes, a lady with a dusty temperament jumped on the paper and came to life.

At this time, Zhu Yunming on the side suddenly exclaimed:

"Ah, that's what Tang Ziwei will do."

Jiang Ning's heart moved.

In history, Tang Yin did paint "Ten Beautiful Pictures", which is very famous, could it be that he made a mistake today, which contributed to this incident?

He immediately asked.

Zhu Yunming explained: "Ziwei made a bet with the grass people to paint ten beautiful girls recognized by four of us within a year to create ten paintings of ladies, and the grass people will use five hundred taels of silver with him as a pen fee.

It was already nine paintings before, but today I can see the lady's maid, but the last one has been painted. ”

"I see."

Jiang Ning was stunned.

Otherwise, the four talents are all romantic, and the bets they make are so elegant.

immediately glanced at it, but saw that Tang Yin took advantage of the time to speak, and he was already almost finished.

At the end of the end is extraordinary skills.

Jiang Ning praised a few words.

Tang Yin said modestly while painting: "It's ugly in front of adults." ”

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly continued:

"The grass people stayed on the boat last night and made a different kind of painting, can you take a look at it?"

"You can't do it."

"I'll get it."

Zhu Yunming volunteered, hurriedly turned the boat, and after a while, he carefully returned with a picture scroll.

"Your Excellency, please take a look."

"Ahh

Jiang Ning exclaimed, as if he was frightened, but he was reluctant to take his eyes off the painting.

Because, this is a picture of the wind and the moon.

And it's lifelike and exciting.

Among them, Jiao Niang, it seems that she has seen it somewhere.

Jiang Ning looked around and locked his gaze on a little lady beside the four talents.

Yes, yes, it's exactly the same.

When the little lady saw Jiang Ning's eyes, her face suddenly turned crimson, and she looked at Tang Yin with disgust.

And Zheng Fangrui saw everyone laughing, holding a painting and looking at it, and exchanged a few words from time to time, just as Tang Yin finished painting, he walked over curiously.

I want to see what I've been painted.
