Grind incense

Mei Xiaochen cupped his hands towards the Thai king, and a pot of flowers flashed behind him, which was a pot of green calyx peonies with five buds.

"Tomorrow is the crown prince's birthday. Your Highness is asking me to prepare for the crown prince's birthday. I have worked hard to find this pot of green peonies in the capital." Mei Xiaochen laughed.

Mei Xiaochen's mouthful of the word "Chen" made this ghost's soul jump in Gu Zhanqi's shell. This ghost remembered that when he was talking to the King of Thailand just now, he called himself "I".

"Oh, it turns out that Mei Er asked Liu Xunhua in Beijing these few days, but she was busy working for this king!" King Tai took a sip of tea on the table and said with a sneer.

Mei Xiaochen raised her eyes and glanced at me with a faint smile, and said nothing.

"I didn't expect that in the early spring, we could find green calyx peonies in full bloom in the flower workshops in Beijing?!" King Tai burst out another sentence, whether it was an inquiry or a compliment.

Mei Xiaochen's face was calm, as if she didn't understand the meaning of King Tai's words.

"Actually, this Heze peony's peonies have also been heard a little bit by Fachen, but they are placed in a sunny greenhouse in winter, using the warmth of the earth's atmosphere and abundant light to force the flowers to bloom out of season." I stepped forward. After saying a word, he wanted to save Mei Xiaochen from the siege, and changed "I" to "Chen".

"Uh, I don't want Zhuyi to be familiar with the method of urging flowers that is not taught by flower farmers in Beijing." King Tai smiled, and sent the pot of green calyx peonies into the Nuan Pavilion.

"For the prince's 23rd birthday, besides this pot of green peonies, I also prepared some other gifts. Would you like to have a look at the gift list again?" Mei Xiaochen took out a piece of red paper from his sleeve as he spoke. hand over.

King Tai nodded, took a look at the gift list from Mei Xiaochen, his face became less friendly, and praised Mei Xiaochen: "Mei Er looks like a madman, but he is actually a safe and cautious person."

After the King of Thailand praised Mei Xiaochen, he shifted his eyes to me and smiled at me: "But Zhuyi looks calm on the surface, but in fact it is still water with hidden waves, and the dark tide is unpredictable."

I smiled secretly in my heart. I didn't expect that bookworm Gu Zhanqi to be a hidden figure in the eyes of the King of Thailand. It's a sloppy eye.

I glanced at King Tai, and said with a cheeky smile: "The minister is just a bowl of water on your highness's desk, even if you want to toss it, you won't be able to get into a three-foot storm!"

King Tai said: "Zhu Yi seems to have won the true teaching of the old master Fu Zang's stupidity and clumsiness. Zhu Yi, even if you are the bowl of water on the king's desk, I am afraid it is the one of the three thousand weak waters."

After finishing speaking, King Tai smiled at the gate, clapped three times, called out the high-level executives of the palace, and ordered him to pick two pieces of brocade from the treasury and send them to him.

After the senior officials took the orders and left, King Tai smiled at me and Mei Xiaochen and said, "My concubine got more than a dozen pieces of brocade the day before yesterday, and she rewarded me with a few of them. They are new tributes from the Jiangning Manufacturing House, and they are said to be woven by girls. The latest pattern, I will give each of you a horse to go home and make clothes."

After Mei Xiaochen and I thanked the King of Thailand for his kindness, the senior officials came in with two brocades in their hands.

Mei Xiaochen took the one with the palace lantern pattern first, and I took the remaining one with the peony pattern and put it behind me.

Then the king of Thailand invited me and Mei Xiaochen to appreciate the picture of the buffalo he drew.

In my opinion, that painting is a picture of two waterfowls playing with a pair of buffaloes floating in the water. The drawing skills should be pretty good. The cows are drawn more like cows, and the birds are drawn more like birds.

I don't know anything about ancient paintings, so I wanted to stand aside and follow Mei Xiaochen's perfunctory words to settle the matter, but Mei Xiaochen smiled and cupped his hands with me and said: "Brother Zhuyi leaned forward like that, I must have a good idea in my heart !"

I don't have any good ideas, so I can only stand up bravely, collect all the words I have experienced, seen, and praise good paintings in my mind, and I don't care about sorting them out, so I poured them all on to Tai. Wang's picture of the buffalo.

What Song Huizong's eagle, Zhao Ziang's horse, and Wu Daozi's Guanyin are all inferior to this painting in my mouth. If you pull out the buffalo on the painting paper, you can moo and graze. .

"Brother Zhuyi, if you say it again, that cow will almost make you lose your skin!" Mei Xiaochen couldn't help laughing out while listening.

"Hey! It's getting harder and harder for me to hear the truth from Zhu Yi." King Tai looked at me a little lonely and said with a sigh.

The ghost's heart suddenly moved, and he said secretly, it seems that the ghost didn't cheat, both Mr. Gu and the King of Thailand thought that Gu Zhanqi's extraordinary performance now was actually learning to hide, but he didn't know that this was just the ghost's stealing sequelae.
