Your Majesty favors the beauty of bamboo horse disease

argue

Some people look like they're so affectionate all day long

How did Xia Pei come to this conclusion? ?

Judging from Gu Dongzang's news, there are only two pieces of evidence. Miss Cui painted Six Miss Hua at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and Miss Cui was locked up in the ancestral hall.

But these two don't necessarily have a causal relationship, how can we infer the conclusion that Miss Cui likes Miss Hualiu?

Xia Pei didn't think about it in this direction at first, but after confirming the conclusion, he successfully connected with Gu Dongzang. Both of them firmly believed in this conclusion, suppressing their excitement and already started to imagine the future of the two girls.

"The Hua family has changed the marriage contract of Miss Hua Liu. They must have agreed to this marriage. Has Miss Cui been released from the ancestral hall?"

Gu Dongzang: "Come out, come out!"

Xia Pei: "That means the Cui family also agreed! Isn't it time to discuss the date of marriage?"

Gu Dongzang: "Sure, but the third girl is not married yet, so I should wait for the third girl to get married, right?"

Xia Pei: "They can also be together. One day they get married and one day they go back home. How lively it is."

Gu Dongzang: "Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

As the only sane person present present, Xie Yuanshi tried to pull them back when they had strayed all the way: "What logic did you use to come to this conclusion?"

Gu Dongzang proudly puffed up his chest: "My father and my mother are like this! My father painted portraits of my mother all over his study, stuffed them into three or four big boxes, and there are a lot of locks. Get up and don't let me see."

He opened his hands exaggeratedly, and that's not all. Before he tried to pick the lock and secretly looked at the painting but failed, he was caught and beaten by his father, which made Gu Dongzang even suspect that if his mother was not a living person, his father would still be alive. I want to hide his mother so that no one can see her.

Princess Hualing and her son-in-law are loving couples. Gu Dongzang is now sixteen years old, and they have been married for seventeen or eighteen years. One painting a month is about the same amount.

In Gu Dongzang's eyes, the concubine's painting is the most straightforward love for the princess, Xie Yuanshi can't refute this.

But not all painters paint because they like each other, he said euphemistically: "Your parents are like this, but Miss Cui only painted one."

"The painter pays attention to the idea that the inspiration can be gathered as far as the eye can see. Ms. Cui's painting skills may just be amazed by Ms. Hualiu's astonishing dancing posture, so she impromptuly writes. This can only show that Ms. Cui's skills are superb." Xie Yuanshi commented, no All painters love the people in their paintings!

Gu Dongzang didn't want to listen, although he didn't go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day, he could imagine the wonderful performances of the girls at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, "There are so many inspirations to choose from at the banquet, and I only drew one but only six girls! Why doesn't she paint other people? You have to choose the one that touches you the most for inspiration, right?"

It's not like what it is!

Xie Yuanshi: "..." Because only one painting is needed for the Hundred Flowers Banquet! !

Xie Yuanshi: "Ms. Cui can show her skill level with only one painting."

Gu Dongzang was very stubborn: "Then if she doesn't like it, she can draw two people in one painting."

Xie Yuanshi: "..." Whose painter would draw two people who appeared at different times on the same painting?This is common sense in painting!Common sense!

Xie Yuanshi couldn't make sense of Gu Dongzang, so he had to give up temporarily, and instead asked Xia Pei who had been listening silently.

If it is understandable to say that Gu Dongzang is because of the son-in-law and the princess, "What about you? How can you be so sure?"

He also mentioned him and Shen Yuzhu just now, could it be that they can be used as an example?

Xia Pei let out a "huh", the people he contacts most often are Xie Yuanshi and Shen Yuzhu, the template must be the two of them, but what should I say?The emperor had just warned him about this incident two days ago, asking him to be cautious in his words and deeds.

Xia Pei racked his brains: "Because of Liu, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu?"

Xie Yuanshi: "..."

Gu Dongzang blinked his big eyes: "Who is that?"

Xia Pei made up the beginning and became confident: "It's the housekeeper of Prince Qin's mansion! They are both old, but the husband and wife are very loving."

Gu Dongzang asked in confusion: "But what do they have to do with Huahua?"

Xie Yuanshi also wanted to know what flowers he could make up.

The more Xia Pei said, the more it seemed to be true, and the more confident he became: "You don't know, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu used to have an eldest son who was abducted when he was five years old and has not been found until now. I have been looking for it for so many years, and every once in a while I would find an artist to paint a portrait of a child and ask around."

"If it's not because of feelings, how can I paint another person for no reason? Although Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu's paintings are only out of family affection, family affection also originated from love!"

Xia Pei showed a smug expression, he is so witty!

Xie Yuanshi poured cold water on him: "The artist who draws for Uncle Liu does it for money."

Xia Pei retorted solemnly: "But Miss Cui is obviously not for money!"

Xie Yuanshi: "Miss Cui is to show herself at the Hundred Flowers Banquet."

Xia Pei said smoothly: "To attract Miss Hualiu's attention? Anyway, it's not to attract the emperor's attention."

Xie Yuanshi: "..."

Xie Yuanshi couldn't straighten out his breath, and was so angry that he wanted to throw the two of them out of their normal brain circuit, closed his eyes and took three deep breaths.

Seeing that the two of them are children, they don't have the same knowledge as them.

Anyway, the two of them just talk about this kind of thing, and no one will believe it if it spreads out, so let them go.

In the evening, after Shen Yuzhu approved the papers, he ordered someone to send them back to the cabinet. Although the court was closed for the new year, the court still needed to operate normally, and Shen Yuzhu's instructions were required for the corresponding affairs.

Xie Yuanshi sat next to him, until he finished approving the memorial and was sent away, Xie Yuanshi was still in a daze.

Shen Yuzhu waved his hand in front of his eyes, "What are you thinking about so preoccupied?"

Xie Yuanshi subconsciously told him what he was thinking, "Miss Cui and Hua..."

He stopped in the middle of talking, why is he still thinking about this, such an illogical thing, hearing Xia Pei and Gu Dongzang talking nonsense, even he was taken into the ditch.

"It's nothing." Xie Yuanshi pinched his eyebrows.

Shen Yuzhu pinched his ear and tugged lightly, "You sat here and thought about the girl all afternoon, and you thought about more than one girl?"

Xie Yuanshi: "I'm not."

Although he was thinking about Miss Cui and Miss Hualiu, he didn't think that way!

Shen Yuzhu said quietly: "You just said it all."

Xie Yuanshi was helpless: "I'm just thinking about something."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Xie Yuanshi told him about the conversation between Gu Dongzang and Xia Pei in the morning, "Do you think this is true? Miss Cui is really... Gu Dongzang's random guess?"

Shen Yuzhu didn't have the intention of becoming a queen, nor did he deliberately pay attention to these gossips. Although he also had his own selfishness in painting Xie Yuan, it is obvious that not all portrait painters have thoughts about each other.

He had heard about Miss Cui being closed in the ancestral hall. At that time, he asked Mr. Song Ge to introduce him to a painter. Mr. Song Ge recommended Miss Cui to him, but he rejected it.

Before leaving, Mr. Song Ge asked him for a pardon. It was about Miss Cui, saying that she accidentally broke the porcelain vase given to Cui's family by the late emperor. During that time, Master Cui fined her for confinement.

Shen Yuzhu thought that she just missed her hand, so it was not disrespectful, so she gave this pardon with a big wave of her hand.

Shen Yuzhu originally relayed Song Gelao's words to Xie Yuanshi at that time, and Xie Yuanshi felt a little relieved.

Just say... How could it be as outrageous as Gu Dongzang said.

I'm afraid Ms. Cui didn't expect that, just because she drew a picture, someone even thought of her and Ms. Hualiu's return home.

"However, the Hua family actually let Miss Hua and General Meng get engaged. It's really surprising. Mr. Hua is tolerant of the younger generation, so he won't make the decision regardless of Miss Hua's wishes."

Shen Yuzhu already said that, so...

"So Miss Hua San probably agreed to this marriage." Shen Yuzhu said.

Having said that, Xie Yuanshi became curious. The relationship between these two people, as long as anyone in the capital who cared a little about gossip knew about the relationship between the two, they were able to get together in the end.

"I don't know if their marriage will go well."

Shen Yuzhu smiled, and also found it very interesting: "Some people's relationships seem to be in dire straits, but they may be deeply affectionate in private."

"Let's not talk about them." Shen Yuzhu moved his sore shoulders after a long time, Xie Yuanshi helped him squeeze it, and Shen Yuzhu grabbed his hand: "No, I'm fine."

"Your mother sent a cook from Jiangnan. It is said that she is the best at all kinds of pastries in Jiangnan. Gu Dongzang arrived in the morning, but the concierge hasn't told you yet, right? The pastries should be out of the pan now. Go and see if there is anything you like. .”

As soon as he went out, facing the cold wind, Xie Yuanshi had an uncomfortable nose and sneezed. Shen Yuzhu put the hood behind him on his head: "Be careful, don't catch a cold."

At the same time, Xia Pei grabbed the corner of Xie Jiu's clothes and squatted in the corner complaining.

"It's only been over a month since Miss Cui's Hundred Flowers Banquet, and Cui Hua's two families are getting ready for their wedding, yet there's not a single movement from the Emperor's side!"

"And master, the emperor's paintings are all framed and hung in the study, so he doesn't think there is any problem at all?"

Although the emperor forbade the master to know, but today I and Gu Dongzang kept talking about Huahua, at least I should think about it in that direction!

Xia Pei squatted in the corner like a depressed little mushroom, pointing at the ground in front of him unwillingly: "Other people take off their clothes and roll on the bed, and the two of them took off their clothes to apply medicine for the waist injury. Good for others The brothers can still lie on the same bed, but the two of them sleep in the same room and they still have to sleep on the floor!"

Hit the floor!Who can imagine? !Xia Pei was really impressed by the quilt that was spread on the floor that day.

He let out a long sigh, and looked at the sky speechlessly: "Some people seem to be affectionate all day long, but behind their backs, they are purer than brotherhood!"
