Chongzhen Undergraduates

"He doesn't know how to paint, he just smears randomly." Chen Yuanyuan probably knew Zhu Youjian's painting level before, and he couldn't let him lose face here, so he hurriedly made a rescue.

"Drawing, scribbling." Zhu Youjian emphasized a sentence through Chen Yuanyuan's words.

"It's okay, let's play together! Come, here is the best rice paper." Bian Yujing took out the best jade board Xuan, and slowly spread it in front of Zhu Youjian.

Cotton, white, thin, and uniform, the whole paper seemed to be like a piece of silk, and it floated to Zhu Youjian with a scent.Of course, the fragrance is brought out by Bian Yujing.

However, Zhu Youjian only learned a little bit of superficial sketching. The paper used for sketching is just the opposite, and he uses hard paper.

Zhu Youjian glanced around, his eyes locked on a piece of backing paper that was going to be pasted.Standing up amidst the surprised calls of the women, they tore it into pieces in twos and twos, and then laid them calmly on the jade board.

Then I found a piece of charcoal from a small charcoal stove for making tea, and rubbed it on the floor to grind it, and the girls cried out again.

"Hmph, how stupid is this person? He's clearly just a rough guy, a dude who hasn't been properly taught. Chen Yuanyuan shouldn't bring him out to shame him." Li Xiangjun felt even more contemptuous.

Liu Rushi was excited to see it, and thought to himself: This man is a bit interesting, much more interesting than the old man at home.

Bian Yujing was very surprised, because she had never seen Zhu Youjian's technique before, and the writing was different, opening and closing, seemingly disorganized, but very accurate.

After a while, the general appearance of the painting came out, and Zhu Youjian actually painted Dong Xiaowan.

Chapter 96: Official Addiction Is Hidden, You Can’t Quit It

It's not that Zhu Youjian likes Dong Xiaowan, but that when he was young, he was obsessed with cute girls and often drew portraits of beautiful girls.

A gentle, lovely, charming image floated on the paper.Of course, especially the long eyelashes on those big eyes, and the little teardrops that seem to be there in the smart eyes.

The girls looked back and found that Dong Xiaowan's eyes were really like this.

how come?Didn't she marry the most talented Mao Pijiang?

"Hehe, why are you all looking at me!" Dong Xiaowan was the youngest, who happened to be 17 years old when Chongzhen was 20 years old.

She is already twenty, but she still looks like a little girl of thirteen or fourteen.A child's face that will never grow up, so beautiful that it doesn't look like a person in the world.

Chen Yuanyuan's heart tensed: Could it be that the emperor has taken a fancy to her?

Liu Rushi smiled, in terms of appearance, she was better than Dong Xiaowan, but there was still a big beauty, Chen Yuanyuan, in this room.

Li Xiangjun didn't care, she had her own style, and she didn't even like Dong Xiaowan's being too delicate.

"Cousin is a real person and doesn't show his face!" Bian Yujing was shocked. He felt that he was good at calligraphy and painting, but he never studied that there are other existences besides traditional painting methods.

"Western barbarian skills, right? Where did you learn from?" After all, he is knowledgeable. Although Li Xiangjun is not good at belittling Zhu Youjian face to face, he can still tell the source.

As one of the four sons, Hou Fangyu has a close friendship with Fang Yizhi.And Fang Yizhi has two famous Western alumni named Matteo Ricci and Tang Ruowang.

(ps: Fang Yizhi's information can be found on the Internet, and he did know Matteo Ricci and Tang Ruowang.)

"Sister Li is right, I have seen similar paintings before." Dong Xiaowan came out to testify that Li Xiangjun was not lying.

It is good to have the background of the four princes as a man, and he has more experience than a traditional literati family like Liu Rushi.Chen Yuanyuan, who is outstanding in beauty but mediocre in talent, is either robbed by the uncle of the country or praised by Wu Sangui all day long, and of course I have never seen it.

Not just poverty, horizons can also limit your imagination.Zhu Youjian had to admire that the information circulation in the high-level social circle was much more than that of ordinary people, but unfortunately, it was just circulation.

"Since this is the case, I should ask sister Chen for advice." Bian Yujing really wanted to ask for advice. In her opinion, since this cousin can do it easily, Chen Yuanyuan must have a better teacher.

Unintentionally, Chen Yuanyuan was embarrassed. Chen Yuanyuan didn't even know that Zhu Youjian had such a trick.

"Western barbarians don't care if you don't learn it. It's not as good as my Chinese orthodoxy." Li Xiangjun dismisses this kind of painting skills. Although the technique is novel, it can be seen that Zhu Youjian's level is very average.

"That is, if the husbands and sons-in-law of all the sisters can be allowed to enter the court, it will definitely carry forward my Chinese authenticity." Someone in the crowd mentioned a sentence, which fit Li Xiangjun's original intention.

"It's getting late today, so let's leave." Liu Rushi saw that Chen Yuanyuan was absent-minded, and as the wife of Shangshu who was second only to Chen Yuanyuan in status, she persuaded everyone to leave.

Li Xiangjun frowned, and said to himself: Your man has already become a minister and joined the cabinet, but my man has not yet been found. This is a critical moment, and you want to withdraw. Obviously you don't take our affairs seriously.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but take a high look when he saw that Liu Rushi had rescued Chen Yuanyuan just right.

Then he spit out: "When I first came, the prince brought me here by the way, as if he was going to the six departments to summon the cabinet. Cousin, I don't have a carriage by myself, can I go back in your carriage?"

It seems that what Zhu Youjian said was that he had no way to go home, but the words were obviously passed on to Liu Rushi: Your man is from the cabinet, hurry home and persuade your man to go to a meeting.

"Okay! I'm going back to the palace, so I'll take you along the way." Chen Yuanyuan readily agreed.

Li Xiangjun was really out of breath, the good topic was instantly spoiled by these two people.

Everyone saw that the two people with the highest status wanted to leave, and they couldn't force them to stay. This was the end of a fruitless opportunity, and they all went back to their respective homes.

"Why is it so cold in Nanjing?" Zhu Youjian sat in the carriage and tightened his clothes.This is the Little Ice Age, and the south of the Yangtze River is also very cold, although it is only late autumn.

Chen Yuanyuan leaned against Zhu Youjian, leaning on his shoulder, and Zhu Youjian hugged him, and the two were close together.

"Does the emperor think I'm old?" Since he came to Nanjing, he was called the emperor.

"Nonsense, you are only one year older than Dong Xiaowan, don't think I don't know you are jealous." Zhu Youjian pinched Chen Yuanyuan's nose and even scraped it.

"But, she just looks older than the concubine!" No way, who made someone look like a baby.

"I like Miss Yu too." Zhu Youjian looked at Chen Yuanyuan. In terms of looks, Chen Yuanyuan was the number one among the Eight Beauties of the Qinhuai River. He had just carefully looked at the other women in the Zhuangyuan Building.

"What is Yujie?"

"That's what you are."

"Can the concubine still play with them?" Although Chen Yuanyuan didn't like today's party, it was boring to be alone in the palace, not to mention that Zhu Youjian was often absent, and there was only a young prince and a baby prince in the palace. Jiu'er has already returned to Jiangjun Mountain.

"Whatever, you can go if you want to find them. It's just that I think we should find a new place and not mix with those literati."

"The emperor doesn't like me seeing other men, does he?"

"Wrong! I just don't like those hypocritical Confucians. Find a Zhuangzi near Jiangjun Mountain for you to discuss piano, chess, calligraphy and painting together, is it okay?"

"Then will you come?"

"I will live in General Hill."

......

When Liu Rushi returned home, Qian Qianyi struggled to get up, his face full of anticipation.

"What did Chen Yuanyuan say?" Although Qian Qianyi didn't go to the scene, his heart had already flown to Zhuangyuanlou.

"Normal banquets are all about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and nothing is said." Liu Rushi said the truth, and the whole party did not talk about government affairs.

Qian Qianyi let out his spirits and was very disappointed.

"When I was leaving, there was news that the prince was summoning the cabinet, so there must be something wrong." Liu Rushi was taking off his makeup in front of the bronze mirror, and said in a low voice.
