The Second Wind: Chang'an Chapter 350 "Cockfighting Picture"
"Why?" Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Yanjun couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Her Royal Highness the princess should not inquire about these things!" Lu Chen looked at Li Yanjun and waved his hand directly and said, it's not that Lu Chen doesn't want to tell Li Yanjun, but Lu Chen feels that some things are enough to do by himself, and he doesn't want Li Yanjun to lose his current innocence.
Of course, Lu Chen also knew that this kind of naivety would gradually disappear with the growth of age and experience, but Lu Chen wanted to be able to prolong Li Yanjun's innocence, and he didn't want Li Yanjun to come into contact with those deceitful people too early.
"Is there something you can't let this palace know?" Li Yan Junpu looked at Lu Chen with big eyes, "Your auction this time has pitted a lot of money from those families, do you think this palace doesn't know?" Li Yanjun tilted his head directly and looked at Lu Chen and smiled, as if he was a little fox who had stolen a chicken.
"Hmmm! Your Highness can see this, it's amazing! Lu Chen gave Li Yanjun a thumbs up directly and said very dotingly.
Liu Jing and Chun'e, who were following behind the two, couldn't help but roll their eyes in unison, one was obviously complaining about their own father-in-law, and the other was obviously complaining about their own princess, these two looked at each other's eyes and were about to draw, as far as Lu Chen used these Liulikeng family money, it would have to be known by everyone after a while, not to mention, Li Yanjun had already known that the mastermind behind this was Lu Chen, if he couldn't guess Lu Chen's purpose, then this princess would be a fool!
As for the current performance of Lu Chen and Li Yanjun, in the eyes of these two personal entourages, it is a typical "love blinds"!
"That's kind of interesting!" At this moment, Lu Chen stood in front of the calligraphy and painting stall, looked at the calligraphy and painting in front of him, and said with a smile.
"Who made this painting?" Lu Chen picked up a painting depicting a cockfighting scene, looked at the stall owner and asked.
"Huh? This Lang Jun is discerning, this "Cockfighting Picture" is from the hand of Shang Yi Feng Yu Yanrang! The stall owner is a middle-aged man about forty years old, and he said with a smile to Lu Chen.
"Yan Rang?!" Lu Chen thought about it for a while, and didn't figure out what kind of character this Yan Rang was, but looking at this painting, it was indeed extraordinary.
"Let this Yan know!" Just when Lu Chen was wondering, Li Yanjun on the side said.
"Oh? Does His Highness know who Yan Rang is? Lu Chen looked at Li Yanjun directly with some surprise.
"Yan Rang, whose name is Lide, is now working as an errand under the second brother, and it is said that he is very talented!" Li Yanjun whispered in Lu Chen's ear.
"Yan Lide!" Hearing the name Li Yanjun said, Lu Chen immediately thought of who this person was, Yan Lide was none other than the elder brother of the famous Tang Dynasty painter Yan Liben, and the most powerful thing about this person was that he created six kinds of clothes and hats and sedan chairs worn by emperors and princesses, and these were elegant and in line with the rules of etiquette, and Lu Chen's current county official uniform was designed by Yan Lide.
Yan Lide and Yan Liben are really amazing talents, Yan Lide created the emperor's prince's clothes, dresses and sedan chairs, and his younger brother Yan Liben even drew the "Lingyan Pavilion Heroes Twenty-four Pictures" and other ancient works.
And Yan Lide is as good at painting as his younger brother, but although Yan Liben's painting is extensive, he is known for his portraits, while Yan Lide is more extensive, and even Yan Lide's ability is stronger than his younger brother, because his younger brother is famous for painting, and Yan Lide is not only good at painting, but also a great talent in architecture.
You must know that Li Yuan's Xianling, Li Shimin's Zhaoling, as well as the two palaces of Cuiwei Palace and Yuhua Palace, were also designed and built by Yan Lide, and even the buildings such as the outer Guo and the city tower of Chang'an City were also written by Yan Lide, but it is a pity that there were no Yan Lide paintings handed down in later generations.
Now that he saw this "Cockfighting Picture", Lu Chen's heart moved slightly, not because of the relationship between this painting, but because what made Lu Chen's heart move was Yan Lide, this is a master architect, if he goes to Lujiazhuang and builds a house for himself, then won't he be able to free up his hands to do something else?
Thinking of this, Lu Chen, who was watching "Cockfighting Picture", couldn't help but have his eyes shining, touching the beard on his chin, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Do you like this painting?" Looking at Lu Chen's appearance, Li Yanjun couldn't help but ask, and then beckoned to Chun'e, signaling Chun'e to buy the painting directly.
Li Yanjun looked at Lu Chen's smile, thinking that Lu Chen liked this painting, but Lu Chen's smile was obviously not like this in the eyes of others, Lu Chen's smile felt a little panicked in the hearts of these people, for Liu Jing, who knew Lu Chen, every time his grandfather showed this smile, it was estimated that someone was going to be unlucky.
With Li Yanjun's instructions, Chun'e naturally inquired about the price of the painting with the stall owner, and the two bargained, and finally bought this "Cockfighting Picture" for 100 yuan.
"Huh?" When he saw the stall owner packing "Cockfighting Picture", Lu Chen woke up from his contemplation, and saw that the stall owner was packing "Cockfighting Picture", and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Why pack?" Lu Chen looked at the stall owner and asked.
"This painting has been bought by this little Langjun next to you!" The stall owner said to Lu Chen with a smile, while skillfully continuing to pack "Cockfighting Picture".
"What do you buy it for?" Lu Chen turned his head to look at Li Yanjun suspiciously, and unconsciously, he had already removed the word "His Highness".
"Don't you like it? Then buy it! Li Yanjun also unconsciously changed his name to Lu Chen, and at the same time looked at Lu Chen with some doubts, not knowing why Lu Chen asked this, and there was even some grievance in his eyes.
"Oh! I like it a lot, but I don't necessarily have to buy anything I like! Lu Chen knew that Li Yanjun had misunderstood himself again, and Lu Chen also knew that the reason why Li Yanjun misunderstood that he liked this painting was probably because he was standing in front of this picture and pondering, so he said with a smile.
"Since you like it, and this painting is not expensive, then buy it!" Li Yanjun said as if she was coquettish, which directly made Lu Chen's bones a little crispy, but obviously Li Yanjun didn't hear what Lu Chen said.
"Okay! Yes! You can buy it when you say it! Lu Chen couldn't bear to brush off Li Yanjun's kindness, not to mention Li Yanjun's coquettish words, which directly made Lu Chen's heart burst out a few times, and he could only nod his head again and again.
At this time, the stall owner had already packed the "Cockfighting Picture" and presented it to Lu Chen with both hands, and Liu Jing on the side hurriedly reached out to take it and held it in his arms.
"Do you have anything to look at?" Lu Chen looked at Li Yanjun and asked.
Li Yanjun shook his head, and Lu Chen said, "Okay, then let's go shopping elsewhere!" Lu Chen also saw that Li Yanjun didn't seem to be so interested in this calligraphy and painting, so he directly and naturally smiled at Li Yanjun, and the two left the calligraphy and painting stall.
"Tsk! This literati's fetish is really incomprehensible! Seeing Lu Chen and Li Yanjun leaving side by side, as well as the conversation and eyes between the two just now, the stall owner who had done business couldn't help but complain.
And Lu Chen and Li Yanjun had just left a few steps, and when they heard the complaint of the owner of the calligraphy and painting stall, Lu Chen's footsteps couldn't help but stumble, obviously the owner of the calligraphy and painting stall had misunderstood something, but Li Yanjun didn't seem to hear the stall owner's complaint, but when he saw a rouge shop in front of him, he was a little moved.
"Well, how much did you buy this painting?" In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Chun'e and asked.
"One hundred bucks!" Chun'e said with an indifferent look, for her and Li Yanjun, who are in the harem, they obviously have no concept of money.
"Oops! This profiteer! As soon as she heard that these two girls actually used a hundred yuan to buy the "Cockfighting Picture", she immediately scolded in pain, "One hundred dollars!" This painting is only 30 yuan at most, and it is a loss! It's a loss! ”
"Why didn't you stop her when she bought it for a hundred dollars?" Lu Chen turned his head directly to look at Liu Jing and asked.
"Grandpa, it's not that the villain doesn't want to stop it, but before the villain stops him, the deal has already been made, and he has paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other..."
And Chun'e obviously didn't understand why Lu Chen was shouting so much for a hundred yuan, this time at the auction, this grandfather could earn at least a few thousand or even tens of thousands, how could this one hundred yuan still be so loud!
"Forget it! Never mind! Lu Chen also noticed that Li Yanjun's face was a little aggrieved at this time, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, As for the common sense about money, Lu Chen felt that it was necessary to popularize it for the master and servant two to go back.
"Grandpa, this is a rouge shop, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for us to go in, right?" Looking at the plaque of the rouge shop, Liu Jing tugged at the placket of Lu Chen's clothes that were about to accompany Li Yanjun into the room, and reminded in a low voice.
"What's wrong with the rouge shop?" Lu Chen turned his head and glanced at Liu Jing, in the future life, not to mention men wearing makeup, there are also people who go abroad for surgery, Lu Chen has not seen it, Lu Chen looked at Liu Jing and said this, somewhat saying that Liu Jing was making a fuss.
"That's where women go in..."Liu Jing pointed to the rouge shop, and saw that there were many women coming in and out, looking at Lu Chen and Li Yanjun who were standing at the door of the rouge shop with strange eyes, and Li Yanjun also realized at this time that he was a woman dressed as a man, so he was directly ready to turn around and leave.
"It's coming! Let's go in and have a look! Seeing that Li Yanjun turned around and wanted to leave, Lu Chen directly reached out and grabbed Li Yanjun, and said with a smile, and Lu Chen himself was also very curious about what was like in the rouge shop in the Tang Dynasty.
