Her Royal Highness The Princess From A Thousand Years Ago

It was Saturday, and neither of them had to go to school.

After breakfast, Li Mingyue sat on the wicker chair on the balcony and read English.

Shen Yanbing was very surprised, "Where did you learn it?"

"The teachers in the Academy of Fine Arts always say that you must master a foreign language to go global." Li Mingyue stopped, "You downloaded English software for the tablet before, and I reinstalled it in the phone."

Shen Yanbing: "...It's great."

Shen Yanbing, who was sitting in front of the coffee table, couldn't help keeping one ear focused on the balcony.

It has to be said that Her Royal Highness's self-learning ability is terrifying.

The American English imitation is quite charming, the volume is not loud but very clear, starting from the most basic words and letters, and slowly reading short sentences and phrases, without impatiently repeating.

Half an hour later, Li Mingyue only came in to refill a glass of water.

This made Shen Yanbing, who had been idle early in the morning, a little ashamed, got up and went back to the study.

She read the information for a while, and received a message from the editor of the publishing house after nine o'clock, asking her to make an appointment for historical and literary reviews.

Shen Yanbing raised her eyebrows, a little surprised by the other party's request.

——The turmoil of her thesis faction will not spread to this point.

"If you are willing to write a few more articles, our publishing house can publish a collection."

This publishing house is quite famous in the industry, with an excellent reputation, almost like a weather vane, and the books it promotes every year basically become the hits of the year.

Although Shen Yanbing has always cooperated happily with them and has opened a column to post regularly, she never expected to receive such preferential treatment suddenly.

——She is not a big name in the industry, let alone a celebrity writer. There is no need for a publishing house with absolute right to speak to her like this.

Shen Yanbing searched his previous historical biographies on the Internet, only to find that the discussion was extremely high, far exceeding other authors' column articles.

She tapped on the edge of the table thoughtfully.

Shen Yanbing didn't make the editor-in-chief of the publishing house wait too long, and quickly agreed.

Shen Yanbing had been contemplating finding materials until noon, when Shen Yanbing left the study room, Li Mingyue was sitting at the desk practicing calligraphy with a serious look on her face.

She approached, and when she saw the work, she couldn't help smiling, "Are you going to run out of raw paper at home?"

Li Mingyue nodded, picked up a pen and neatly practiced small letters around the big characters, "There is no Shengxuan either."

Sheng Xuanji tested the skills of calligraphers. Shen Yanbing didn't have much at home, and what he bought after Li Mingyue came was raw-edged paper for practice.

Shen Yanbing saw that Li Mingyue stretched out his pen to dip in the ink, and the small white porcelain dish had been dyed black with no white. After Li Mingyue dipped his pen in the ink, he was not satisfied, so he had to use water to adjust the concentration of the porcelain. Discs are extremely inconvenient.

Li Mingyue didn't even mention it.

"When I go to buy stones later, I'll pick another set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones." Shen Yanbing said.

Li Mingyue looked up, "Just buy paper."

"If you're going to participate in the exhibition, you will naturally have to prepare a set of high-grade ones, so that you can perform better." Shen Yanbing insisted, not ashamed to say that now she bought these at the level of a beginner.

Li Mingyue hesitated, "These are all expensive."

She has saved some money, but it is still far from the price of the high-quality four treasures of the study in her impression.

"It's okay." Shen Yanbing replied.

In the era of industrialization, the prices of pens, inks, papers and inkstones have long been out of date, but the prices of high-end collections are still astonishing.

She has a very valuable inkstone in her family collection, and she has never been willing to auction it off.

Seeing Li Mingyue's troubled expression, Shen Yanbing smiled and said, "Be my gold prize gift for you."

Li Mingyue didn't respond: "What gold award?"

"The exhibition at Binda Academy of Fine Arts, congratulations!" Shen Yanbing showed her the mobile phone list, "The list came out this morning, and you are No.1 for the gold award. You will definitely be in the best position next week."

Li Mingyue was pleasantly surprised. Although she was confident in her own level, her modern aesthetics was not as good as Jing Chao's, and she was not sure about being recognized and appreciated by modern people.

——This is her first gold medal.

Although the gold content is not high, there is only a humble certificate, but it means a lot to her.

In the afternoon, after eating the takeaway, Shen Yanbing drove Li Mingyue out.

Wenyantang is an old store in Shacheng, and has opened several branches in recent years, including Bincheng.

The shopkeeper of Bincheng Wenyantang is Shen Yanbing's acquaintance in Shacheng. After being transferred here, the two even made a dinner appointment, but after work, Shen Yanbing almost completely put aside this interest, and the relationship is not as close as before.

Turning around, Shen Yanbing stopped the car early, put on a sun hat for Li Mingyue, and walked into the alley.

The store is usually very idle, and the clerks don't pay much attention. When they see someone coming, they say "Welcome" and continue playing with their mobile phones.

Li Mingyue was attracted by the pen and ink ornaments all over the wall. Langhao pens were placed on white porcelain shelves, and inkstones and inkstones were arranged in a row, full of elegance.

Unlike the supermarkets that Li Mingyue often goes to, these items have no price tags, and she couldn't help frowning.

Shen Yanbing believed in her vision, and made her choose with confidence.

"But..." Li Mingyue hesitated to speak. From her point of view, these are all of great value——Shen Yanbing is just a teacher, and a teacher who is being "criticized".

The considerate and sensible Her Royal Highness the Princess took her eyes away from the beautifully textured Duan inkstone, and pointed to the inkstone that was obviously newly dug aside, "Take a look at this."

Shen Yanbing frowned, "Are you sure?"

Li Mingyue nodded, the clerk looking at the mobile phone looked up, sneered silently, walked over and took out the inkstone.

Li Mingyue weighed it, and it was lighter than expected, and she lost her taste in her heart.

"How is it?" Shen Yanbing teased her with a smile, she could tell the appearance at a glance without asking.

For so many years, not to mention calligraphy skills, anyway, the level of tasting is getting better and better, and the only thing that can scare her is the collection level.

Li Mingyue hesitated to speak, and the clerk immediately boasted about the inkstone, "Touch it, it's delicate and smooth, and the ink will come out quickly! And it will never hurt the brush..."

Shen Yanbing watched with a smile, "Where's your boss?"

The clerk stopped laughing, "Our boss can't stay here all the time, just tell me if you have any questions."

Just as he was talking, the shopkeeper came out from the back room and saw Shen Yanbing striding forward, "Oh, it's really here!"

The clerk's smile cracked slightly.

Shen Yanbing smiled and shook the other party's outstretched palm, and greeted: "Just arrived, the place is getting more and more difficult to find."

"You said it earlier, I just saw your WeChat." The shopkeeper is a kind person, and he has dealt with Mr. Zheng a lot when he was in Shacheng, and his reputation is quite good among calligraphers and painters.

Seeing Li Mingyue picking up the inkstone, he smiled and said, "Miss Shen's friend?"

Li Mingyue nodded, the shopkeeper knew what was going on when he looked at the counter, scolded the clerk a few words, and just hurriedly asked someone to take out the Duan inkstone inside, "There are still good She inkstones and pottery inkstones in the shop here, Which girl do you like?"

Li Mingyue looked at Shen Yanbing with a puzzled expression: "Which one do you think is better?"

Shen Yanbing obviously didn't understand the painstaking efforts of Her Royal Highness, and smiled: "We can choose whichever you like."

Liming Yuexin couldn't bear it, "Then hold the inkstone."

She has been fancying that piece for a long time. It is simple and exquisite, with a thick texture and no exaggerated carvings, and its shape is very similar to the one she used in Jingchao.

——She couldn't imagine its price. In the Jing Dynasty, the Duan Inkstone was already comparable to emerald gold.

Shen Yanbing looked very relaxed.

She stroked the texture of the inkstone meticulously, and smiled: "It's really quite cold."

Li Mingyue inexplicably understood the meaning of the other party's words. She was worried at first, but now she also laughed.

More important than inkstones are brushes and Xuan Xuan. When the shopkeeper heard that he was going to participate in the exhibition, he paid more attention to it, and brought out several brushes in succession.

After experiencing the baptism of ordinary artificial brushes during this period, Li Mingyue quickly chose the one she liked, and her not-so-critical appearance made the shopkeeper feel ashamed, "Brushes, like girlfriends, must be treated with the most serious attitude! "

Li Mingyue opened her eyes slightly, "?"

The shopkeeper continued: "There are some very good brushworkers in Shacheng. Many calligraphers have asked them to make custom pens. Ms. Shen should have contacted..."

"Indeed." Shen Yanbing nodded, looked at Li Mingyue with a smile on her face, "Let's see the timing, it's not that mysterious, but it's worth a visit."

In the end, under the conscientious recommendation of the shopkeeper, the stone materials, raw Xuan and ink ingots were quickly bought, packed properly in a gift box, and left after swiping the card.

Li Mingyue followed behind Shen Yanbing with her things, and asked, "How much did it cost?"

After the two got together, Her Royal Highness became more and more concerned about money issues, and from time to time, she made plans in her heart to plan for the future.

She knows that in modern society, the most important thing is the economy.

Shen Yanbing really didn't know what the other party was thinking, "Guess?"

Li Mingyue frowned, taking chances, and deliberately lowered the price: "A thousand?"

Shen Yanbing shook his head amusedly, "Guess again."

"...Five thousand?" Li Mingyue held her breath and her voice trembled slightly. This was almost her total expenses in the few months since she came to this world.

Shen Yanbing finally paused, aware of the other party's subtle emotions, and chuckled, "What are you thinking?"

Li Mingyue seemed to have got the answer, with a gloomy expression, "We need to save money."

Shen Yanbing understood the other party's meaning in an instant, and all kinds of feelings came to her heart, both funny and sad. During the summer vacation, Li Mingyue was also worried. She thought the other party had let go after she explained it, but she remembered it deeper when she didn't want to.

Her Royal Highness is more insecure than she imagined.

Shen Yanbing looked at her seriously, "You don't need to care about these things now, I said there is no problem, that is, there is no problem."

Li Mingyue pursed her lips, "We still have to consider future risks."

"That's okay." Shen Yanbing smiled suddenly, walked to the front of the car and opened the door, put the things in the back seat, turned to see Li Mingyue still frowning.

"I saw in the news that there are many people who suddenly lose their jobs and go bankrupt." Li Mingyue sat in the passenger seat, "You still trade in stocks, everyone says it's not safe."

Shen Yanbing was really surprised, "How do you know?"

"It's said on the Internet that greed is a no-no." Li Mingyue leaned against the car window, "I will work hard to make money, so don't play such dangerous things."

Shen Yanbing burst out laughing, which annoyed Li Mingyue, so she had no choice but to straighten her expression and let Her Royal Highness relax, "No more playing."

Li Mingyue: "Even if you have no money, I will not leave you."

Shen Yanbing was slightly startled, and immediately smiled: "Okay."

She didn't expect Li Mingyue to think so much.

Shen Yanbing has her own way of thinking about financial management, wealth and freedom are not far away, but she is usually frugal and not ostentatious, and no one around her can see anything.

Even Her Royal Highness, who gets along day and night, thinks she is an ordinary migrant worker.

This made Shen Yanbing feel that she was so cute that she almost wanted to touch the little princess's head.

The car was driving at a slow speed, Li Mingyue looked at the scenic shop driving outside the window, mentally calculated the latest bill, finally remembered something, and asked: "So how much did you spend just now?"

Shen Yanbing glanced at her and said tactfully, "It's impolite to ask the price for a gift specially given to you."

Li Mingyue looked at her faintly, "I also want to return the gift."

"Just write a few words." The corners of Shen Yanbing's lips curled up slightly, the side profile was almost perfect, Li Mingyue's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat.

——She wanted to draw Shen Yanbing.

The author has something to say: Regarding the fact that my girlfriend always thinks that I am poor——

Li Mingyue: I will work hard to make money, even if you have no money, it doesn't matter.

Shen Yanbing: Alright (smiling)
