Chapter 2 Qi Chinese Painters



There are so many people, very few can take a sip of tea on their wheels, and those who can sit next to her and say a few words to her are even more nobles among the nobles. Among those people are the sons of the general's family, the young master of the Imperial History Mansion, and the sons of the prince's family, all of whom are extremely boring prodigals who specialize in women's stinky feet.

"Miss Chu's craftsmanship is outstanding, this peach blossom tea and cakes are really good. ”

"Yes, it's even better than Shenghezhai's. ”

Sheng Hezhai, that is the most famous pastry shop in Qidu, a century-old shop, this person's sycophants are really rotten. What else did she say that she would do with her own hands, she would light a fire, and she would have to be Amitabha.

Yan Xu snorted lightly, he really lied and didn't blush.

Someone said: "Miss Chu, your painting skills are so exquisite, who did you learn from?"

This is not the first time someone has asked her, and Chu Yun's answer to this has always been, "The family teacher has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and he doesn't want people to know." ”

Her master said back then that with her level, she would never mention his name in the future, so as not to embarrass him, but now it seems that it is not so outrageous, at least her paintings are still very popular in Qidu.

I remember that when she first arrived in Qidu, she was penniless and almost starved to death on the streets.

She seems to have nothing to do with money in her life, she didn't have to pay anything when she was a princess, she was poor and had no money when she was a land god, and she didn't hold half of the financial power when she was the head of the house.

Later, I really had no choice, so I drew a few paintings and sold them, but I didn't expect the income to be surprisingly good.

Qi was originally a small and barren country, but after so many years of development, it has become more and more like a big country. In order to cover up the recklessness on his body, the king of Qi flourished in writing throughout the country, and many nobles followed the trend and were elegant, and there were more and more nobles who liked to chant poetry and paint.

It was also a coincidence, the unlucky young man who came to Qidu with her was the son of Li Yunhe, Taichangqing, and he was the matchmaker. Chu Yun got acquainted with Taichangqing Li Yunhe, who was the official position in charge of vocal art, although the official position was not big, but it still had a little power.

Her paintings were appreciated by this Tai Changqing. It happened that there was a painter in the palace who was old, and Li Yunhe recommended Chu Yun, her first painting was a portrait of the queen, which was really beautiful, and completely lined off the queen's noble temperament.

King Qi saw the portrait. The queen was summoned immediately, and the love between husband and wife became better than before. After this incident, Chu Yun became famous, and the number of people looking for her to paint increased day by day. This is not only because of her excellent painting skills, but also because of her natural beautiful face, which is different from the temperament and posture of ordinary people.

The national temperament that has been precipitated for thousands of years cannot be changed overnight, Qi is not as beautiful as Chudu, and occasionally there is a peerless beauty, which has become the object of being sought after. And a stunning beauty like Chu Yun. It's really rare, so wherever she goes, she is always followed by a group of suitors, and she can't get rid of them.

Chu Yun felt very unaccustomed at first, but after a long time, he became comfortable coping with it. For these people, they only need to put on the most perfect posture and chant two sour poems from time to time to satisfy their bad tastes.

I don't know when it began, and the State of Qi also began to learn from the State of Chu and praised the beauties. Playing with courtesans, teasing birds and crickets, looking like a gentleman, there is a poem with a better character. Playing the piano, making a painting, and singing a song, it is completely no longer the heroic spirit of galloping the world in the past.

After drinking tea, enjoy the flowers and talk about poetry with these nobles. A lot of time was also passed, and when I put up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, it was almost dusk. But those sons still lingered and refused to leave, until her carriage went farther and farther away, and there was no longer a shadow, so they put away their reluctant eyes and went home.

At this time, Yan Sha also stood up with his numb feet and ordered the maid to clean up her things.

Qi Hu chased after him and laughed, "What's the matter, aren't you going to have dinner?"

"Don't eat. "After drinking vinegar for a day, I was already full.

Qi Hu smiled, "I've never seen you so dissatisfied before." ”

Yan Xu looked at him with a natural expression, "My people, naturally, every penny is mine, where is the word satisfaction?"

That arrogant and arrogant attitude is really no second in heaven and earth, and it is so arrogant that he also feels ashamed of being the son of the fox king, who is also among the nobles.

He rubbed his chin, looked at the distant carriage and grinded his teeth by the way, "Chu Yun, ......" Only she can make the old ghost feel so heartbroken.

The hard-mouthed old ghost never said anything about love, even if it was just a few words, since he was a child, he always did what he said. Even if you can't do it, you will grit your teeth and fight to achieve it. The world says that this is called attachment, but according to him, it is simply a dead eye.

"It's really ......," he smiled bitterly, and slowly patted him on the back, "the old ghost should mourn." ”

Yan glanced at him, and his speech in broad daylight was really frustrating.

Sitting in the carriage, Chu Yun looked tired, she didn't want to come to this trip, spring tour, that is something boring boys and girls will find fresh, but she didn't come in vain, at least let more people be infatuated with her, making connections is her first step, and then she has to wait for her lightning and thunderous revenge.

Originally, as long as she killed King Qi and Chu Huainan, it would be considered revenge, but it was too cheap for them to do so. She wants to destroy the Qi State little by little, just like when Chu Huainan lurked in the Chu State for ten years, and led the Chu State to its demise step by step.

The carriage swayed, making people drowsy, and Nephrite whispered, "Girl, you're tired, let's go back to the house and rest first." ”

She shook her head, "I don't want to go home." ”

"Then do you want to go to the restaurant and have something to eat?" Nephrite smiled, revealing two dimples at the corners of her mouth, looking very cute.

She was picked up by Chu Yun, and when she went out one day two months ago, she saw a girl fainting at the door, so she brought her back.

She didn't have any serious injuries, but she fainted from hunger, and she was saved with a bowl of rice porridge, she said that her hometown was affected by a disaster and fled here from Chu State.

At that time, she knelt down and begged Chu Yun to keep her, she didn't want to be paid, just give her food. Chu Yun didn't want to be troubled originally, and people who didn't know the details were always at ease when they were around. But as soon as she heard that she was from the Chu country, she immediately had a sense of being connected to the same fate, the country of Chu was broken, and the old people left behind were drifting and had nowhere to go, if she didn't help, how could there be their way to live in the world, especially this nephrite jade looked like Dong Rui, and her maid made her a little closer.

She left her behind, lived with her, and took care of her daily life on weekdays, but this nephrite was clumsy, couldn't do any work well, and couldn't cook, and they ate out two of their three meals a day. Now I feel sick when I think of the food in the restaurant, and the oil is not delicious, and it is far from a certain person's craftsmanship.

Someone, who the hell is, why can't she remember it?

Recently, I always think of the past in my mind, and although the days in the Land Temple are short, it makes her have endless memories. I forgot about it, but then I remembered it and felt a little more nostalgic. It's just as if something has been forgotten and should be important, but I can't remember it anyway.

Who was the man who had cooked for her and tended the temple for her?

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Nephrite said again: "Girl, don't go either, don't go there, we can't be on the street." ”

She thought for a moment, "Let's go to the Land Temple." "It's also good to go and see the land temple here.

There is a land temple in the east of the city, about the reason for doing the land god for a while, there is always a special emotion for the land temple, and it happens that the mood is bad today, so the pillar incense is placed here. People say that it is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself, and Guanyin Bodhisattva worships herself and incense to the god of the land, which is equivalent to worshipping herself. This is the land of Hongqu, but I don't know who this land is.

The carriage stopped in front of the Land Temple, which seemed to be a big temple, more than three times larger than the one in Furong Town, with a wide and spacious courtyard and a tall hall.

She came a little late, it was evening at the moment, and the temple Zhu in the two temples was cleaning the courtyard, and saw her bowing slightly, "This young lady, the temple is going to be closed today, let's come back another day." ”

Chu Yun handed over a piece of silver, "I'll just burn the pillar incense and leave." ”

She, the court painter, has been rewarded by the king of Qi many times, and the harem concubines have been ruthlessly slapping her in order to show the most beautiful appearance in front of the king, and there are not a few gold and silver, and some rare treasures have been collected, which are unique to the palace. It's just that these things don't mean much to her, they come easily and go quickly.

She was generous, and the two temple wishes were happy and happy, and even called her inside, and said that no one would disturb her.

At this time, no one had already gone to the temple to burn incense, so there was no disturbance at all. Chu Yun smiled, she had seen the warmth and coldness of the world, and she knew that they said it on purpose.

Let Nephrite wait outside, she walked into the temple, tapped a stick of incense, inserted an incense candle, and prayed in a low voice: "Believe in the girl Chu Yun, I hope to get what I want by my own efforts." ”

Throughout the ages, how many people have sought the Buddha and the Tao, burning incense in the temple will say: "Ask the Bodhisattva to bless ......" or "Ask the gods to bless, ask the mother to bless......" I have never heard anyone say that they have to rely on their own efforts, and even the mud tires in the temple can't help but be moved.

The golden light flashed in front of him, and a figure walked down from the shrine, a fairy dress fluttering, and his face was full of grimness.

"What a girl with different thoughts. ”

Chu Yun looked at the man for a moment, and then shouted: "Xianwei"

That person was the land fairy Wei who met in Penglai, and that face was too different, even in the past few days, he still remembered it clearly. She knew that he was the land of a big place, but she didn't expect it to be in the land of Qidu.

The corners of Xianwei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I thought it was who, it turned out to be the land of Liuqu." ”

Although Chu Yun has been devoted, her divine memory is still there, these immortals never focus on a stinky skin, and they don't seem to care about her sudden change of body. To be continued.
