From eunuch to emperor

Long Chen declined and said: "The Pavilion Master's kindness is appreciated, this scar is because of me, I want to tattoo her with my own hands."

Xiuniang Liu Yemei moved slightly, and said with a sweet smile: "Although there are many beauties in the world, there are a few who can get a man's sincerity. Blessed is Miss Bai."

Long Chen laughed and said: "I'm just a eunuch, what good fortune do I have?"

After hearing this, Xiu Niang didn't know how to answer for a while.

"General Long has a heart, and my family teaches the general. I don't know if General Long can paint?"

Coincidentally, Long Chen had learned painting before time travelling, and knew both Chinese and Western painting skills, especially his sketching skills were very good.

"I know a little bit."

The embroiderer took out a pen and ink, and some colored paints, pointed to the plum blossom outside the window and said, "General, try to draw that plum blossom."

Long Chen picked up the paintbrush and drew on the rice paper.

"There is a trick to painting plum blossoms, the intention is the first; the pen is quick and quick, and it is as crazy as it is..."

According to the trick of painting plum blossoms, Long Chen quickly finished painting a wintersweet.

The embroiderer looked at Long Chen's painting of wintersweet, and praised: "The light ink is swayed, the thick ink is dotted with moss, it is old and clumsy, showing the vigor and cold fragrance of plum blossoms, and the charm and pride."

"General Long is talented in literature and martial arts, but he is also proficient in painting."

Long Chen said with a smile: "I learned a little bit before, so I'm making a fool of myself."

The embroiderer took Long Chen's picture of wintersweet and said: "There are several techniques for tattooing. I am good at using needles. General, please start with needles."

Xiu Niang took out a row of silver needles, Long Chen picked up one, and suddenly felt like an eunuch learning from the Sunflower Book...

Long Chen was learning acupuncture from the embroidered lady upstairs, while He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng were flirting with the women in the embroidered pavilion downstairs.

"I heard that the flower embroidery on the girl here is very beautiful. I wonder if I can take a look?"

He Wenbai looked at the embroidery on the neck of the woman in front of him, and couldn't hold back.

Since Xiuge is located in Rouge Lane, of course it also does business between men and women, but it's not so obvious.

The girl smiled and said, "Young Master, you can see it if you want, but our place is no different than others, it is very expensive."

Hu Zhiheng said happily: "We have money."

The two immediately offered gold coins with both hands.

"The two sons come with me."

The two followed into the Nuan Pavilion, and there were two women inside, wearing tulle clothes, with flower embroidery tattooed on Ruxue's skin, making them even more enchanting and charming.

"Sir, please."

The girl giggled coquettishly.

The two rushed forward impatiently and hugged enjoyment.

...

the next morning.

He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng came out of Xiuge, Long Chen was walking in front, looking very tired, rubbing his fingers non-stop.

The two looked at each other from behind, and He Wenbai stepped forward with a wretched smile and said, "The general is very skilled, his fingers are tired from the first day we meet."

Long Chen looked bewildered, and then he understood, and said: "What are you thinking, I learned tattooing from Xiu Niang upstairs, and I learned acupuncture all night, so my fingers are tired."

Hu Zhiheng felt unbelievable, and said: "My lord, when you are so beautiful, you actually learn acupuncture from her?"

Long Chen said: "That's right, my purpose is to learn tattoo techniques, besides, I didn't say what I can do."

He Wenbai shouted that Long Chen was too innocent, and said: "General, you went upstairs and entered Xiuniang's room, you can do that...that's that, you should understand it very well since you have been dealing with Wanji in the harem all the time."

Long Chen devoted himself to studying art, so he really didn't think much about it.

Moreover, Xiu Niang looks serious, not like she can do that.

"I think the embroiderer is quite serious."

Long Chen felt a little regretful.

Such a beautiful and mature woman, if she can do it, but she doesn't, wouldn't it be a blood loss!

Hu Zhiheng smiled and said: "It should be that you are too serious, General, and Xiu Niang is embarrassed."

I see...

"God is sorry, I am a gentleman, how can I know these things, what a pity, what a pity."

"Next time you must remind me that I am too simple."

Long Chen felt lost, and exclaimed that he was too simple!

He Wenbai also sighed: "The general is too simple."

Hu Zhiheng praised: "The general is really a benevolent gentleman with no evil thoughts in his heart."

After leaving Rouge Lane and returning to Qiuxing Hall, Long Chen pushed the door and went in, and saw Di Luoxi sitting on the kang, holding a whip in his hand.

"Xiaolonglong, why did you go last night?"

Long Chen looked at Xiang Ning who was beside him, and said, "I'm going to study art."

Di Luoxi pointed to the seat next to her, Long Chen slipped on her shoes and said seriously: "Princess, listen to my explanation."

Di Luoxi turned over and pressed Long Chen on the kang, pointed at Long Chen with the whip in his hand, and said angrily: "How dare you go to the brothel, do you really think that the old lady is reluctant to beat you?"

Long Chen swore to the sky: "Princess, I went to Rouge Lane last night, but I went to learn tattoos. Tingting doesn't have a scar on her chest. I want to give her a tattoo. He Wenbai and Hu Zhiheng can do it." testify."

Di Luoxi looked at Long Chen suspiciously, tapped the whip on his hand, and asked, "Really?"

Long Chen swore: "If there is half a false statement, the sky will be struck by lightning!"

I really didn’t do anything last night, just learn acupuncture.

Di Luoxi nodded, and said coldly: "Trust you this time, come back next time, and see how I deal with you!"

Long Chen immediately said: "Your Highness, tattoos cannot be learned overnight, I still have to go."

Ok?

Di Luoxi tore off Long Chen's clothes, lightly whipped the whip, and said angrily: "You still have to go!"

Long Chen said helplessly: "There's no way, the embroidery in Xiuge is the best, it's not so easy to learn."

"If the princess doesn't believe it, we can go together."

Di Luoxi spat: "Bah, who wants to go shopping with you in brothels."

Xiang Ning said from the side: "Princess, how about I go to supervise him, and I will go with him."

Di Luoxi thought about it, and it seemed feasible.

"Okay, you will follow in the future, if he dares to mess around, come back and tell me."

Di Luoxi got up and wanted to get down, Long Chen hugged his waist and said with a smile: "Your Highness, do you want to play for a while?"

The domineering princess is holding a whip, this kind of gameplay seems quite exciting.

"You want to be beaten?"

Di Luoxi asked in a strange tone.

Long Chen said with a mean smile: "Oh, my princess, please encourage me..."

Di Luoxi's expression froze, and she scolded with a smile: "You are so shameless!"

Turning to Xiang Ning, she said, "Go out and close the door! I want to clean him up!"

Xiang Ning bowed her head out of the room and closed the door.

Long Chen's happy voice came from inside.

"Two people really know how to play..."

Xiang Ning said enviously.

...

Ministry of Industry.

The general supervisor Wang Yao entered Shangshu Xu Ming's room and said, "My lord, the walls of Longshuai's mansion are basically finished, and some giant logs are still needed to make the beams."

The ancient houses were mainly made of wood structures. There was a lack of giant trees in Dazhou, so they had to be purchased from Nanliang, which was troublesome and expensive.

Xu Ming was a little embarrassed, and said: "Nanliang knows that we are building Longshuai Mansion, and the giant tree is no longer given to us."

When Li Chengdao heard that the empress had rebuilt Longshuai's mansion, he ordered that the giant trees in Nanliang were not allowed to be sold to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Wang Yao had a headache, and said: "Without giant trees, there would be no beams, and the Longshuai Mansion cannot be built. What should we do?"

Xu Ming also felt a headache. After thinking for a while, he said, "Do you want to use the beams from before?"

There are still many giant wooden beams that can be used in General Jing Tianlie's mansion, but it is not auspicious to use old beams for the new house.

Wang Yao said: "We need to discuss this matter with General Long."

Xu Ming nodded and said, "Let me talk about this matter, is there any other problem?"

Wang Yao said: "No problem, I recently hired a team of skilled craftsmen, their craftsmanship is very good, and the Longshuai Mansion will definitely be built magnificently."

Xu Ming instructed: "General Long will be my Da Zhou Dongliang in the future, his mansion must be good, don't cut corners."

Wang Yao took the order and personally went to Longshuai Mansion to oversee the work.

Xu Ming changed his clothes and went to the West Palace.

At the gate of the palace, ask someone to deliver a letter.

Not long after, Long Chen came out from inside, and Xu Ming bowed, "General."

"Master Shangshu, why come here when you have time?"

Long Chen was grinning, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"My lord, is your neck okay? Why..."

Xu Ming found that there were red marks on Long Chen's neck, as if he had been whipped.

"Oh, it's too much tickling."

Long Chen pulled his collar to cover the red marks.

Di Luoxi played too much just now and played too hard, leaving obvious marks.

Xu Ming nodded and said: "There is a problem in the construction of the Longshuai mansion. There is a shortage of giant wood for the beams, and the south beams are not provided. We want to use Jing Tianlie's old beams, but we are afraid that the general will mind, so we asked first. .”

Long Chen smiled and said: "Just use it, I don't mind."

There is nothing to be particular about this kind of thing. If you are strong, ghosts and gods will shy away;

Xu Ming said: "It's good that you don't mind, the main body of Longshuai Mansion is almost finished, and it is estimated that we can move in soon."

Long Chen smiled and said, "I'm sorry."

Xu Ming bid farewell and returned to the Ministry of Industry, Long Chen went back to sleep.

...

Western Xia.

A man in black led a group of carriages slowly into Xingqing City.

The wheels rolled on the snow, and the carriage made a rumbling sound. An old woman was sitting inside with disheveled white hair and a sad expression. A middle-aged woman beside her also looked sad.

"Mother, Tianlie is also a great general in Western Xia, no worse than in Eastern Zhou..."

Woman comforts old woman.

This woman is Sun Hongyan, and the old lady is Jing Tianlie's old mother.

The Empress let Jing Tianlie's family go, and Sun Hongyan led a group of people slowly set off from Daughter City, and only now arrived in Xingqing City.

The carriage stopped, and the man in black said outside: "Old Madam, madam, we are here."

The drooping eyelids of the old woman lifted slightly, and she struggled slowly. Sun Hongyan helped the old woman move out.

After getting out of the carriage, I saw a decent mansion with the words: The General's Mansion on it.

The man in black went to the door and knocked.

The heavy door opened, and a soldier poked his head out. Seeing the man in black, he asked, "Who are you?"

The man in black said: "I am the secret guard of the capital, escorting the old lady and his wife here, and asking to see the general."

The soldier poked his head and saw the old lady and Sun Hongyan, and hurriedly shouted: "General, the old lady is here!"
