Summon players, rebuild Dawei

[I won't chat with you anymore, I went to see the beauties, don't worry, I will bring you more benefits! 】

After posting this sentence on the forum, Yu Xuehuan hurriedly changed into new clothes just made for the New Year, and then, not being too lazy to dress up, took the painting tools and hurried out the door.

The snowy road was not easy to walk, and the donkey cart was very slow. He didn't arrive at the gate of the state capital until dusk.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Yu Xuehuan was a little worried whether the officers and soldiers at the door would let him in

After staying in the game for a long time, he realized that all aspects here are very logical. Even if he accepts the task, he may be rejected by the NPC with reasons such as "it's dark" and "the government is off work".

Fortunately, Brother Shu's mission is still very reliable.

After he explained his purpose to the guard at the gate, a guard came to lead him into the mansion.

It was the first time for Yu Xuehuan to enter the government office. Although he had already seen the pictures of the interior of the state capital on the forum, he was prepared, but when he came here in person, he was still dazzled by the quaint buildings and beautiful gardens in front of him.

Different from the garden house of the textile factory where he lived, the buildings of the state capital are majestic and elegant. The tall houses are connected by ebony corridors. The tall maple trees planted outside the corridors stretch out their slender branches in the snow. .

As night approached, the candle lights in the porch were lit up. Against the background of the glistening snow, the atmosphere became more and more peaceful and refreshing.

He kept taking screenshots to admire, and for the first time, he felt envious of players who had been admitted to the official profession.

But soon, after being brought into a study in the backyard of the main house, Yu Xuehuan forgot to appreciate the architectural environment.

The study room is comfortably furnished and brightly lit. Beside the table by the window, two game protagonists, one wearing a black robe with red phoenix thorns, and the other wearing a gentle and elegant cold white silk robe, are sitting in front of the window curtain to play chess.

The two NPCs are the most obsessed characters of countless netizens on the forum. Their faces are like crowns of jade, and their temperament is extraordinary.

It wasn't until the sound of the guard closing the door behind him that he suddenly came back to his senses, and saluted the two with a wide smile.

Yu Xuehuan is no longer the original Yu Xuehuan. As a second-test player, he has been beaten by the game world for more than two years. He knows that it is best to treat himself as an ancient person when facing NPCs, and don't say anything.

Before he came, he specially reminded himself to have a correct attitude and not to speak in front of Shu Ge and Xie Meiren, but when the two really appeared in front of him, he still couldn't help but show a smirk: "Hehe, hey-hey……"

His reaction was really rude, but because he was prepared in his heart, Jiang Shu was already very satisfied that the other party didn't call out "Thank you beauty" in front of Xie Min.

Perhaps influenced by the word "wedding photo" mentioned in the player's post, Jiang Shu originally only planned to sit casually in the official office and ask the other party to draw a daily portrait of herself at work, but now she deliberately changed it. The clothes, the background were changed, and the interior of the house was decorated brightly and warmly, as if they were really going to take a wedding photo.

As for why this scene was chosen, it was purely because Jiang Shu felt that he couldn't sit still, and playing a game of chess could at least divert his attention.

Of course, considering the difficulty of painting, he also specially instructed the players that if they need to pose any poses and angles, they can directly ask them without any worries.

Yu Xuehuan really wanted to ask him, could he pose in some exciting poses?

But in order not to be kicked out before he started painting, he still suppressed the sexual thoughts that filled his head.

Considering his own life, he honestly set up an easel, prepared brushes, paints and other painting tools, and chose silk as the canvas that he was usually reluctant to use.

When sitting on the bedding bed brought by Zhitao, Yu Xuehuan accidentally fell to the ground because her eyes were too busy looking at the beauty, almost kicking the paint over.

Zhitao thought there was something wrong with the bed she had prepared, so she hurried over to check.

Yu Xuehuan stood up and patted his buttocks, stabilized the little horse, shook his head and smiled at the maidservant, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm so handsome..."

Xie Yin heard his words and looked up at Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shulue shook his head helplessly at him, said in a low voice, "This person has such a temper", and then calmly dropped a piece on the chessboard.

Fortunately, although this player was a bit reckless, his professional ability was still passable. When he started painting, his expression became serious.

About an hour and a half later, two sets of chess had been played, and Jiang Shu couldn't sit still anymore, and asked Yuxue about the progress of the painting.

"Almost." Yu Xuehuan answered calmly, scratched his neck with a paintbrush, got up and turned the easel at an angle, and said, "Can you take a look at it? If there is no problem, I will go back and add some details." It's done."

Jiang Shu glanced at the painting, because some details have not been added, it is a little bit off, but overall she is satisfied.

He asked, "When will the painting be finished?"

"I'll definitely finish the painting tomorrow," Yu Xuehuan patted his chest and said, "I'll work on the draft overnight when I go back today."

Jiang Shu nodded: "Thank you, painter."

"Hehe, it's easy to say, I'd be happy to paint for a beauty, and die suddenly in the middle of the night!" Out of the state of painting, Yu Xuehuan showed a somewhat idiotic smile again.

Jiang Shu laughed helplessly, and ordered someone to send him out of the mansion.

Unexpectedly, before leaving, Yu Xuehuan probably thought that he was going to leave anyway, so he shouted fearlessly: "I wish you two a happy wedding and a happy marriage for a hundred years!"

Then he rushed out the door quickly.

Jiang Shu was speechless for a while, and looked at Xie Min, but the other party had a slightly smiling expression on his face, and said: "This person has quite a good eye."

·

Because he had received the letter of appointment from the imperial court and needed to go to Qingzhou to take up his post as soon as possible, Xie Min did not show up at the official office the next day, but went back and forth between Xie's mansion and the state capital to pack his bags.

That night, when Jiang Shu returned to the back house, he saw several boxes of luggage in the main room. For a while, the melancholy before parting spread across his brows again.

In the study next door, the firewood in the fireplace was crackling and crackling.

Beside the window, Xie Yin was sitting quietly in front of the desk, looking at the map.

Hearing the sound, he raised his head and smiled slightly, gestured to the cushion on his right with his eyes, and said, "Sit."

Jiang Shu sat down beside him, and realized that he was looking at the map of Qingzhou, so he asked, "Where are you planning to locate the state government?"

Xie Yin pointed to the peninsula on the edge of the sea with his finger.

Jiang Shu frowned: "Miankou..."

This is a bit too far, even in Donghe County, it is much closer.

But he also understood what Xie Min was thinking. After all, his previously planned projects such as shipbuilding to sea, construction of salt farms, mining and transportation of copper mines all needed to be carried out in Miankou County.

This is different from the industrial park in Xunyang.

During the construction of the industrial park, except for the builders of the project, no one knew its true value, and whether it was salt or copper mines, they were exposed and clearly visible wealth, and the interests involved were too huge to guarantee that the officials here would not Will be greedy, only Xie Min personally sits in Miankou, he can rest assured.

"By the way, Yu Xuehuan sent the painting." Leaving aside these troubles, Jiang Shu pulled out the scroll from his sleeve and put it on the desk.

Unfold the picture scroll, and a clear picture of two people playing chess comes into view.

Yu Xuehuan's painting style is as delicate and realistic as ever, with many layers but not chaotic, bright but not strong colors, and perhaps because of the real models this time, the charm of the characters is also well expressed.

Not to mention, at least in terms of their appearance alone, it can be said that they have been restored by [-] to [-]%.

Jiang Shu recalled Yu Xuehuan's post this morning, and the other party tearfully declared that this painting was the most satisfying painting he had ever drawn since he learned to paint. If someone dug up this painting hundreds or thousands of years later, maybe it would Become a first-class cultural relic.

At that time, he felt that the other party's words were exaggerated, but when he got the painting, he felt that it was possible.

After all, Xie Yin's beauty is worthy of a national protection level!

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu couldn't help laughing.

He turned his head, propped his chin to admire the profile of the person beside him, thought for a while and asked, "Can you promise me something?"

Xie Yin turned sideways and returned a questioning look.

"Don't grow a beard." Jiang Shu said.

He knew that people here would start to grow beards when they reached adulthood. Although Xie Min would certainly not be much different even if he grew a beard, in comparison, he still preferred the clean and fresh appearance of the other party.

Xie Min didn't respond, but held his right hand on the desk, and asked in a serious tone: "If one day, I am old and frail, will my lord empathize with others?"

Jiang Shu hesitated for a while, then said: "No."

Xie Yin: "Why did you hesitate to answer?"

"I was thinking about what you look like when you are old." Jiang Shu said slowly with a smile on his lips, "If you are old, you are probably well-groomed, with white beard and white hair, and tall and thin , wearing a loose white dress, holding a stag tail or jade ruyi, like an old fairy, maybe someone will come to ask you."

Xie Yin imagined the scene he was talking about, and couldn't help but smile a little: "If the Lord is obsessed with Taoism, I can become an old fairy."

"Forget it," Jiang Shu waved his hand, "Your life is only a few decades, so you can't waste time on Taoism. When you get old, I will be about the same age. Then you and I will play chess and fish together, and take care of our old age." .”

"That's not bad either."

While admiring the painting, the two chatted aimlessly about the future. Although Xie Min was leaving tomorrow, no one mentioned it, as if deliberately avoiding this topic.

Until the candle on the table gradually burned to the base in the breeze, Xie Min put away the scroll and put it in his luggage. When he turned around, he pursed his lower lip and asked: " Is it time to go to bed?"

Jiang Shu stared straight at him, paused, and said in a low voice: "The jar of Liuyu paste is used up, do you have any more?"

Xie Yin nodded.

Jiang Shu's earlobes were crimson by the dim candlelight, and he got up and walked to the bed: "Then go to bed."

·

That night, Jiang Shu didn't have a good rest. Hearing the non-stop rustling and falling snow outside, his whole body seemed to be soaked in night sweat.

The next morning, the snow stopped, the sky was still hazy, and the cold wind was still biting.

Xie Yin didn't like the atmosphere of a group of people seeing him off, so this time he chose to leave quietly through the back door to avoid the government officials coming out to see him off.

After Xu Hai checked his luggage for the last time, he stood by the carriage and waited, looking at the two reluctantly under the eaves at the door, he sighed softly.

"There are freshly steamed white rice cakes and golden cakes in the food box, remember to eat them later on the road."

"kindness."

"The road is slippery in snowy weather, so don't rush and pay attention to safety."

"kindness."

"When you arrive in Qingzhou, report to me that you are safe as soon as possible."

"it is good."

After a few words of advice, Jiang Shu introduced the blue-clothed youth behind him, and said, "This is Yan Qu, from Wolong Pavilion."

Xie Yin looked at the other party. The young man was tall and tall, with good features and a friendly smile on his face.

"There is a special way of transmitting messages inside Crouching Dragon Pavilion. If you bring him with you, you may be able to use him."

Xie Yin nodded and said "OK".

"Okay, it's cold outside, get in the car quickly."

Xie Yin nodded again, but before turning around, he suddenly stretched out his hand to embrace him in his arms, smelling the fragrance of his hair undisguisedly in front of outsiders.

Jiang Shu felt her chin touch the cold silk robe on his shoulder, and after a brief chill, warm body temperature and fragrance came.

"Take care of yourself."

"You too, take care of yourself."

After a brief farewell, Xie Min let go of his hand, shook his cold fingers lightly, said "Go back", then turned and walked towards the carriage.

Jiang Shu was still standing on the steps of the door, watching them get into the carriage, and watching the coachman drive the carriage with his whip and set off.

The roadway is wrapped in bright snow, and sometimes a gust of snow and fog is blown by the wind.

The horse-drawn carriage slowly disappeared into the pale early morning fog amidst the sound of "clack".
