Yan Xiao's Strange Records

"Master, why did you fall asleep in the study again?" The boy's voice came to his ears, and Chu Ke woke up suddenly.Only then did I realize that I was holding the picture scroll, and everything just now was actually Nankeyi Meng!

"Master, Mr. Zhao is here, and the master ordered you to go to the lobby to meet him." The young man handed Chu Ke the windbreaker while urging him.

"Do you know why?" Chu Ke couldn't help wondering, Zhaoyang is an official of the imperial court, and he is also a celebrity around Yi Xiang today. When the government comes and goes, how can there be a visit from a senior official from Gyeonggi.

"It seems that I asked the son to paint. The master was very happy when he heard it." Under the urging of the servant, Chu Ke walked to the front hall full of suspicion.

Before stepping into the door, he heard a loud voice.

"This is the nephew? You are really a good-looking person. Master Chu is so lucky." Zhaoyang stroked his goatee and praised Chu Ke full of praise.

"Over there, I don't dare to be a child. It's difficult for a child to be a vulgar person. It's Mr. Hua, who is beautiful in appearance and has both talent and appearance."

Master Chu hastily declined, remembering that he was lucky enough to be in the government office and had acquaintance with Mr. Hua once. The son of Mr. Hua, who looks like Song Yupanan, is personable, talented and admirable.

Thinking of my son, although he has the ability to paint, he is trying to gain fame and reputation, he is unwilling to become an official, and he writes and draws all day long, but he can't make a name for himself.

"Master Chu is too modest. I have heard that you are a master of painting. Just now, I have seen your painting. It is so lifelike that it is amazing." Zhaoyang smiled and looked at Chu Ke.

Chu Kesu hated fake smiles, and didn't return him any kindness, thinking in her heart that if Zhaoyang went rashly, there must be other demands.

"My lord, Yu Shi, is overwhelmed by the award. Chu Ke's whim-inspired work can't be put on the stage. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."

Chu Ke responded coldly, with a straight face, and a few polite words dryly.That Zhaoyang's face froze, he could only smile awkwardly, he never expected that this young man was ignorant and blatantly sabotaged the stage.

He also stopped being pretentious, and said in a deep voice: "I am ordered by Yi Xiang to find a painter to paint a picture. I wonder if you can make a picture?"

"What kind of painting is it? It is necessary for Mr. Yushi to mobilize the teachers and come to Jiangdu in person."

Chu Ke was surprised, no matter how Zhaoyang was also an official of the imperial court, the celebrity in front of Yi Xiang went to Jiangdu to invite paintings.

"A picture of magnolia flowers, Yi Xiang misses the old man and can't sleep peacefully. If the young master paints a picture, I will definitely thank you very much." Zhaoyang showed sharp eyes, waiting for Chu Ke to agree.

Chu Ke shook her head again and again, and said with embarrassment: "I don't know the origin of Yi Xiang and Magnolia, and I don't know how to do it. I'm not competent. My lord, I'd better hire someone else."

For one thing, anyone he paints for must ask the customer about the geometry, so that he can draw what the customer thinks in his heart.

Second, although Zhaoyang is in a high position, he has always been notorious in the court, and he is flattering. Why would he care about himself, who is powerless and powerless?

Master Chu, who was sitting by the side, couldn't bear it long ago. Seeing his son so rigid, he hurriedly stood up: "It's okay, don't worry, Mr. Yushi. I just declined, and I will be competent. Yi Xiang also wants you." Help me a lot." Without waiting for Chu Ke's objection, Master Chu agreed without hesitation.

Chu Ke is over 25 years old and has made no achievements so far.Master Chu had long wanted Chu Ke to become an official in the imperial court, but Chu Ke refused to make progress and repeatedly shied away. This time Zhaoyang came to the door, this kind of opportunity should not be missed.

"Father, why did you agree to Zhaoyang?" After finally sending Zhaoyang away, Chu Ke quickly followed Father Chu and asked in doubt.

"Your Majesty Yushi is a celebrity in front of Yi Xiang. If you can paint a painting that wins Yi Xiang's favor, you will be able to rise to the top when you enter the court and become an official. This kind of glorious lintel is something that many people can't dream of. You should just refuse." Master Chu's eyebrows were beaming with delight.

"Zhaoyang is in the middle of the court, and he is sycophant. How can this kind of flatterer benefit you for nothing? He must have other plans. His father's officialdom is dangerous, and his son only wants to spend his life comfortably in the forest."

Chu Ke didn't believe in Zhaoyang's one-sided words. Although he had never set foot in the officialdom, he had heard about Zhaoyang's vicious and vicious personality.

Master Chu's face turned green when he heard the words, "Although he is a villain, he is still a celebrity in Yixiang, and he must have his excellence. You start painting tomorrow, success or failure depends on this one action, and your sister is married to Prince Shu's mansion. Pet, if you don't live up to our expectations, our Chu family will have no successors."

Master Chu coughed a few times and his face turned pale, thinking that his Chu family was also a dignitary in Qi during the time of Xian Gong, Queen Teng was devastated, and the royal family no longer reused the Chu family.

"Father, I'll just do it. You don't have to get angry." Chu Ke didn't want to embarrass his father, and he didn't want to go to the court every step of the way, but since his father had promised, it was hard to get back, so he had to finish this painting and discuss it with his father later.After Chu Ke settled down with her father, she went back to the study alone.

In the evening, the shadows are faint, and the lamp cores are peeling.Chu Ke picked up his pen and ink, but didn't make a single stroke for a long time.Painters rely mostly on artistic conception, and it is really difficult to describe a portrait with only one-sided words.

In the time of suffering, I caught a glimpse of the fairy in the painting.Illuminated by candlelight, there are thousands of appearances.The fingers are smooth and tender like agar, and you can't help but caress the painted fairy catkins.In a trance, the whole body is filled with fog...

Ling Xuanran's clothes fluttered, and he met his eyes.There was a bang in Chu Ke's mind, and his cheeks glowed.Just now, I actually had unreasonable thoughts about Huaxian.

"Brother Chu, you can't sleep at night, but something is difficult?" Ling Xuanran asked with a smile.

"I took a painting for Yi Xiang at that time. It's not difficult at all, but I don't know how Yi Xiang is related to Magnolia and how to write it." Chu Ke's face was clouded.

"It's not difficult. Portraits are what people think. Yi Xiang nominated Mulan, and he must have special feelings for Mulan. You only need to draw the gentle and beautiful appearance of Mulan in bud at night." Ling Xuanran patiently enlighten.

"If it's just an ordinary Mulan, she won't be able to please Yi Xiang. What should I do?" Chu Ke remained frowning.

"Yi Xiang is in a high position, and the things he sees must be extraordinary, but he nominates a magnolia flower picture. One can imagine that magnolia flowers are ordinary flowers, so how can they be unique?"

"In this way, Yi Xiang sees things and thinks about people, and Mulan is just a representative of the people he thinks about. So it must be the case that he can't sleep at night." Chu Ke was overjoyed, and then he raised his eyebrows. "It's just who is the person in his heart? Who can be as spotless as a magnolia flower?"

"I have a predestined relationship with Brother Chu, so I will take Brother Chu to see the person in Yi Weirui's heart." After speaking, Chu Ke felt a lotus fragrance floating in his nose, and the two came Yanyin Street.

Yanyin is still prosperous, the crowds are bustling, and children are happily blowing bamboo dragonflies on the side of the road, creating a peaceful scene in the world.There was only one person who staggered and walked hurriedly on the streets of Yanyin with a look of despair.

"Brother Shen, why did you look like this? The trial will take place in half a month, you have to take good care of your health." Yi Weirui caught up with Shen Nian, who looked devastated.

There was the young man who was radiant and energetic for the first time. At this time, the corners of his eyes were black and blue, his lips were chapped, his bones were broken, and he was like a puppet without half of his energy.

"This is...it turned out to be the street of Yanyin ten years ago, and Shangxian can travel through time and space..." Chu Ke sighed, and she was actually on the street of Yanyin ten years ago.

Ling Xuanran said unhurriedly: "It's not because of my superb skills, this painting was originally made by you, I just transferred the spirit of you and me into that scroll, it's because of your great painting skills, Great rivers, mountains and rivers, high mountains and strange mountains are all nothing to worry about, and these are as if they were alive.”

Chu Ke continued to focus his eyes on the two of them. He had never seen Yi Xiang before, and Yi Xiang ten years ago looked no different from ordinary scholars.

When Shen Nian saw Yi Weirui, his eyes were filled with joy as if seeing a life-saving straw.

"Brother Yi, how is Cui Cui? I pawned all my valuables and gave them to the servants, but they kicked me out because they were not satisfied. I just wanted to see Cui Cui."

As Shen Nian spoke, he burst into tears, sobbing, his eye circles turned red, and the ill-fitting clothes made him even thinner, as if he would collapse when the wind blows.

"Xiao Nian, come with me to live in Yi's house for a while, my cousin will regret her marriage, and my uncle will force her to marry Yun Dafu in the near future. If Yun Dafu and others know that you are still in Yanyin, they will definitely not let you go Yours, we have a caretaker with you by my side."

Yi Weirui worried and persuaded him, he knew that Shen Nian had a deep affection for his cousin, and he was so skinny and skinny after not seeing her for half a month, it really made him feel distressed.

"If I can't see Cuicui, what's the point of my life? What I want is for the flowers to bloom side by side, and the mandarin ducks to share their necks, so I don't want labor and swallows to fly apart and go their own way."

Shen Nian was paralyzed and stood on the side of the road, and was quickly pushed aside by pedestrians, Yi Weirui naturally grabbed Shen Nian's shoulders.

"Xiao Nian, don't worry, you stay here for a while, and I'll send a message for you, the future will last forever."

Yi Weirui comforted Shen Nian, for fear that he would never think about doing something stupid again, and he would never let him leave Yanyin and escape from his palm again.

"Okay then, Xiao Nian has nothing to repay, please accept Xiao Nian's obeisance." As he said that, he was about to kneel down to Yi Weirui.

"Xiao Nian can't, you and I are brothers and sisters, and my cousin is my childhood sweetheart, so I will definitely help you."

Yi Weirui felt blocked in his heart, and unconsciously grabbed his scorpion with both hands, feeling safe in his heart.Shen Nian only regarded it as intimacy between good brothers and didn't think much about it.

At this time, the screen flashed, and Chu Ke felt light. Ling Xuanran jumped, and they teleported, seeing Yi Weirui stepping into Yifen Pavilion.

With red candles in the tent, the auspicious brain dissipates the fragrance, and the temples are golden. Wang Cuicui's skin is as firm as fat, and her hair is as green as jade. Her bright and clean face is like peach petals, but her eyes are dull, staring at the window side without moving.

"Miss, why don't you just eat something? I haven't had a drop of water in the past few days. I'm afraid that Miss's health will not be able to bear it."

The voice of the pretty girl beside her was a little choked up, the food in her hand was hot and hot, but the young lady didn't even look at it, she cried and laughed while staring at the window.

Cui Cui's eyes were blank, and she pushed away Zhuyue's hand. "Take it, if my father doesn't agree one day, I won't marry Yun Dafu even if I die, Mr. Shen will definitely find me." When Wang Cuicui mentioned Shen Nian, those dark eyes instantly brightened.

Zhuyue tried to talk to Cuicui again, but she was still in a daze, and she couldn't respond, so she gave up resentfully, put down the food box and was about to walk out.

Suddenly, she met a person standing in front of her, raising her head every month, it was Mr. Yi from Yi Mansion, who quickly bowed his head in salute.

"How is Cousin Zhuyue doing these days?" Yi Weirui asked worriedly, walking into Cuicui's boudoir with ease.
