Chapter 22: Who Are You?
Luo Fansha was annoyed. The last time we met, I patronized archery, and I didn't see Shangguan Wanwan's appearance clearly at all. Now he can only release his divine sense and sweep through everyone, whether it is the maid in white clothes or the lady in the concubine dress, there is no trace of aura fluctuations, it is completely ordinary people. And this young lady doesn't know Luo Fansha at all. Just stood so quietly, waiting for the portrait to be arranged with Luo Fansha.
There was a butler next to him. Arching his hand at Luo Fansha: "This is our young lady." ”
Luo Fansha gave Miss a gesture. Since it was the first time we met, I was embarrassed to inquire about the name of the young lady. He said, "I wonder what the portrait of the young lady is for?"
The young lady said, "I have to draw a picture of a lady every year, and it is of no special use. It's just that I wasn't very satisfied with the portraits before. This time, I heard Cui'er say that a new painter came to Jinling City. The picture of the lady in the yellow shirt you drew is very beautiful and moving. ”
Luo Fansha nodded. "Since I didn't have a special purpose, I painted according to the situation. Please Miss stand in the middle of that white peony. With flowers as the background, is the young lady satisfied?"
The young lady turned around and saw that there was a white peony in full bloom not far away, with a huge flower shape and pure white color, which was very beautiful. "It's fine. Do you know this peony flower?"
Luo Fansha nodded. "I paint all year round, and I also know some famous flower varieties. This peony is called Zhao Fen. Set off the young lady's concubine color, very bright and moving. ”
The young lady nodded, "Sure enough, it's an elegant person." But I'm not in good shape, I can't stand for long, that's fine, right?"
Luo Fansha smiled: "Don't stand for too long. It's just a cup of tea. The key is that I have to observe the expression and demeanor of the young lady carefully, and everything else is easy to draw. ”
After a cup of tea, the young lady couldn't hold on. The maid moved a chair and sat down next to Luo Fansha and watched Luo Fansha paint. Luo Fansha has already drawn a rough frame, with green hair like ink, clear and bright eyes, a slightly thin posture, and a cold and arrogant expression. The maid and the lady looked amazing.
By the afternoon, Luo Fansha had basically finished the portrait. Colored, retouched. Please Miss come out and finalize it. The young lady changed her clothes again. But what will never change is the color of the concubine.
I looked at the finished work. A beautiful woman stands in the middle of a white peony, holding a fan in her hand, and a snow-white jade rabbit at her feet. There is not much ink in the whole painting, and the picture is neat. The concubine-colored dress was blown by the breeze, and she was fairy. The maid and the housekeeper couldn't stop nodding, they had never seen anyone who could paint the young lady so beautifully, like a fairy in the sky.
The young lady was very happy, ordered someone to take a large amount of money, and asked the housekeeper to carefully send Luo Fansha out of the door. Luo Fansha was very happy to see that everyone liked his work. happily took the honorarium and went home.
When I entered the door, I saw that Shuang'er hadn't come back yet. I don't know if I will come back today. Luo Fansha shook his head, went into the house and picked up his portrait of Chu Gongmiao... I still prefer Chu Gongmiao, gentle and kind, and let me be tempted. Ay... I don't know where she went. Luo Fansha found that he could no longer forget Chu Gongmiao's goose yellow color...
He walked out of the house and came to a nearby tavern. I asked for two taels of roasted white and two plates of side dishes, and began to drink by myself. It is said that he is happy in his heart, but it is more melancholy. Farewell to Chu Gongmiao, I don't know when we will be able to meet. But even if we meet again, what can we do? One is a senior disciple of the top immortal palace, and the other is an ordinary casual cultivator, it is difficult to say whether they can cultivate to become immortals...
Since he absorbed more and more immortal aura, the memories that had been sealed in his sea of divine consciousness began to become clear little by little. He remembered the golden boy, who was hidden by himself in the Seven Star Array at the foot of the mountain next to Bluestone Town. The Seven Star Array, and what the old man said. Ten thousand years of cultivation can go to him.
"I should have gone find the golden boy. If I can get a better pill, then my cultivation will go further. If I improve my cultivation, maybe Chu Gongmiao won't look down on me. ”
While he was thinking wildly, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. Luo Fansha looked back, "Senior Brother Mengtian?"
Monty laughed. "Senior brother, you let me find it easily. After saying that, he sat on the opposite side.
Luo Fansha looked at Meng Tian again, dressed as a guard, and was heroic. "Senior brother, why are you dressed like this? I haven't heard from you since the last trial. ”
"This is not a place to talk, let's go, go to your hut and we'll talk about it in detail," said Monty.
The two returned to the small courtyard of Luofansha and entered the back room, and then they talked in detail.
"Have you found the fragments of Qiankun Ding?" asked Luo Fansha
Monteien nodded. "I found the fragment, thinking that there could be no more nostalgia in the human world, so I returned to the divine realm. Who knew that the Divine Realm Hexagram Master told me that the second fragment would appear soon and let me go to Jinling to hibernate. By dotting, I became a royal guard. Something big is going to happen to this palace in the near future. The second fragment of Qiankun Ding will be revealed."
As soon as the conversation changed, Meng Tian continued, "Brother, tell me how you left the ancient battlefield, and why didn't you return to Yunwu Mountain?"
Luo Fansha also told his story. Including Chu Gongmiao and Shangguan Wanwan, they are all looking for golden brushes. Meng Tian heard it, "Senior Uncle Chu Palace turned out to be a high-level disciple of the top Immortal Palace, no wonder I felt that many Immortal Family masters had entered the ancient battlefield when I left. I'm ashamed to say that I thought they were running for the pieces of Qiankun Ding. So I left in a hurry. ”
"Senior Brother Meng, then why are you looking for me now?" Luo Fansha was puzzled
Meng Tian scratched his head: "After I left, I regret very much that I didn't take care of you." The second time he descended to the earth and returned to the Cloud Mountain. Everybody says you're all gone. But the Divine Realm Diviner says that you are still alive, and that the second piece of Qiankun Fragment wants your help. That's when I found you. ”
Luo Fansha didn't understand again, "The second piece of fragment needs my help?"
Meng Tian smiled, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, and I don't know what I need your help with." So be it. Since the second fragment has appeared recently. You might as well join me in helping the royal family and help me find the shards. The Divine Realm will definitely reward you. Maybe you will be extrajudicial and give you extrajudicial grace, and it is unknown that you will be re-ascended to the fairy world. ”
Luo Fansha heard that he helped Meng Tian find the fragments, which would allow me to return to the fairy world. That's great news. He immediately nodded in agreement.
After Montien's recommendation, Luo Fansha became an ordinary painter of the Royal Academy of Painting, specializing in portraits of harem concubines, princesses, county lords and other powerful people. Luo Fansha's painting skills are outstanding, and his drawings of ladies are especially popular. A few months later, he was already well-known in the capital.
On this day, Luo Fansha didn't have to be on an errand, so he chatted with his sister at home. Speaking of the fragments of this Qiankun Ding, and Mengtian wanted to help himself. Frost was worried. "Brother, can you compete with Meng Tian in your cultivation now?"
Luo Fansha shook his head, "It can't be compared at all, I'm just an intermediate immortal cultivator now, I haven't ascended to immortal yet, he is a true immortal! ”
Shuang'er was surprised: "Even he can't handle it, if you want to help, you have to be very careful." ”
Luo Fansha comforted her sister, "It doesn't necessarily mean that I want to fight, the hexagram master said that it has something to do with me... Can a fragment of the universe have anything to do with me?"
The two were talking when there was a knock at the door. Luo Fansha opened the door and saw that it was the maid of the concubine who had looked for his portrait last time. As soon as Shuang'er saw the maid, she immediately became alert.
The maid said: "Mr. Luo is now a painter of the Royal Academy of Painting, and it is difficult to invite him. Our lady would like to ask you to draw another portrait this time. ”
"Thank you for remembering me. But don't you young ladies paint only once a year?" said Luo Fansha, and Shuang'er stood up and said, "My brother has already done things for the royal family, and he won't help others paint portraits." ”
The maid smiled, "We have obtained permission from the Academy of Fine Arts to invite Mr. Luo." Please put. ”
Since he has obtained the permission of the art academy, Luo Fansha is not very disobedient to the will of the art academy. Originally, he was a portrait of a dignitary. And the last time the reward was very generous. And there's no danger. He comforted Shuang'er and followed the maid with the painting box on his back.
Now that he knows that this young lady is the daughter of Ming Xiangguo, and she has nothing to do with that concubine-colored fairy Shangguan Wanwan, he is even more relieved. This time, Miss Ming may be going on a blind date, so the background is that she is sitting on the show floor and enjoying the scenery. It is necessary to draw the grand style of the Xiangguo Mansion and the atmosphere of wealth and nobility. I heard that the other party on the blind date is a prince.
Luo Fan Sha's wonderful pen made Ming Xiangguo and Miss Ming very satisfied.
As they came and went, they became more familiar.
This time, he sent a maid from the painting academy to invite Luo Fansha to his home, but it was not a portrait. Miss Ming looked at Luo Fansha and whispered, "Last time, I was lucky enough to see your portrait of a lady in a yellow shirt. Is she your sweetheart?"
Luo Fan Sha replied: "No, she is a fairy in the sky, and I am a mortal." How can you afford to climb high?"
Miss Ming teased, "You have a crush, right?" The topic changed, "Then who do you think is more beautiful than me and her?"
Luo Fansha smiled in her heart when she heard Miss Ming say this. Since painting in the palace, I have seen too many concubines comparing each other's beauty, jealousy, and often unscrupulous infighting. He smiled awkwardly: "Miss Ming, you are different from the beauty of the Chu Palace Fairy. I can't say it for a while. In fact, every woman has her own beauty, so why bother to compare it? ”
Miss Ming smiled. "It's best not to get it! It's spring now, and the flowers in the suburbs are blooming luxuriantly, can you accompany me to enjoy the flowers and spring? Don't worry, your silver is indispensable!"
Luo Fansha nodded slightly embarrassedly.
Miss Ming took the maids, servants, and Luo Fansha on horseback, and the group went out of the city and came to the suburbs to enjoy the flowers. Now is the time when all kinds of flowers are just blooming, and the woods are bustling. Miss Ming was suspicious of being noisy, so she took Luofan Sha to break up the crowd and walked alone along the stream into the depths of the dense forest.
After a few turns, my eyes suddenly opened up. A small yard in front. Miss Ming and Luo Fansha went straight to the outside of the courtyard, and across the tree, they saw a man and a woman talking in the courtyard.
The man was just going back. Luo Fansha looked at the woman, wearing a small floral shirt of frost, but turned around. Luo Fansha was taken aback, that bright face, who else could it be if it wasn't Chu Gongmiao?
