Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Why do these scholars still feel grateful for their kindness?

Suddenly, a figure galloped towards Kong Yingda in the distance, and asked out of breath, "Oh, I didn't expect to meet Brother Kong here..."

Kong Yingda took a closer look.

It was his best friend, Wu Daozi.

Chapter 127 You Don't Eat Meat, But You Don't Eat Too Much

(Sorry, Wu Daozi at the end of the last chapter is Yan Li's version, which has been revised)

Yan Liben is much younger than Kong Yingda.

Age comparison of course!

Yan Liben was only in his 30s, but he was well-known, and his paintings were unrivaled. He was also a painter who was allowed to come and go to the court at will by Li Er, and he was also a doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

Therefore, Kong Yingda and Yan Liben can be regarded as forgetful friends, and the relationship between the two is very close.

Seeing the flustered look of the other party, Kong Yingda asked curiously, "Li Ben, why are you here?"

Yan Liben waved his hand and did not answer, but asked, "Brother Kong, are you selling this high-grade paper?"

Kong Yingda thought for a while, looked at Chen Chu, and nodded: "I guess..."

Now that Chen Chu hung up this sign, the whole Chang'an city knew about it.

It's really yellow mud falling into the crotch, it's either shit or shit.

Kong Yingda showed a bit of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and explained: "Li Ben, listen to my explanation, in fact, this is not me..."

Unexpectedly, Yan Liben grabbed his sleeve and said excitedly: "That's great, brother Kong, please ask the shopkeeper to sell me some paper. I need it urgently now."

Ok?

Kong Yingda froze for a moment.

Didn't you look down on me?

His good friend, like him, has always regarded money as dung and has nothing to do.

I thought the other party would make fun of me.

Didn't expect to beg me to buy paper?

Kong Yingda looked surprised. He looked at Yan Liben and said, "Liben, there is no rush to buy paper. I will give you some later. But, you heard that I sell this high-grade paper, aren't you surprised?"

Yan Liben waved his hand: "What's so surprising?"

Kong Yingda said: "The two of us had a drink at Chang'an Da Da Da Restaurant last month. During the dinner, we talked about the merchants in the world. You said that the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. It is simply a common corruption. Now, what is the difference between me, Kong Yingda, and those corrupt merchants?"

Yan Liben was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "Brother Kong, you really know how to joke. Others don't know you, but I don't know you. Are you the kind of villain who sees money? Besides, this high-level paper , unique in the world, used for painting, it is a bit better than ivy paper, if you hadn't stood up and sold it, Brother Kong, wouldn't people in this world even know what high-grade paper looks like, you just made a piece of paper It's a great thing, it's too late for people in the world to appreciate your kindness, so how can they cancel you..."

Kong Yingda: "..."

He looked at Chen Chu, then at Yan Liben.

If he hadn't been friends with Yan Liben for many years, he might have wondered if this guy was in the same league as Chen Chu.

Thinking of the words of those scholars who passed by just now, Kong Yingda fell silent.

is it my fault?

He felt incredible!

Then, he introduced Chen Chu: "Boy Chen, this is my good friend, Yan Liben."

Chen Chu was startled: "Yan Liben? The old Yan who drew the six steeds of Zhaoling?"

Chen Chu was not familiar with this person.

However, the famous sculpture of the Six Horses of Zhaoling in later generations was originally painted by Yan Liben.

Yan Liben was taken aback, and looked at Chen Chu in surprise: "What are the Six Horses of Zhaoling? Why don't I remember that I have such a painting?"

Chen Chu was a little dumbfounded.

It is estimated that the map of the six steeds of Zhaoling Mausoleum has not yet come out.

He made a haha, otherwise there is really no way to explain it.

Then Kong Yingda said: "Liben, you don't know something. In fact, this high-end paper store was opened by Chen Chu, and I was just helping out."

He didn't say it was a shareholding.

Otherwise it looks too tacky!

Yan Liben looked at Chen Chu squarely and said, "Little brother, can you sell me some paper?"

Chen Chu said generously: "As a friend of Lao Kong, it's okay to give you some. I'll ask Chu Bi to send you two baskets later."

"So, thank you very much..." Yan Liben said happily, and then he asked, "I don't know why Brother Kong and Brother Chen are here?"

Chen Chu pointed to Kong Yingda, and said, "Old Kong and I partnered in this high-grade paper business. He has regretted it now, come and have a look..."

Yan Liben's eyes widened: "Brother Kong, could it be that you don't want to partner with Brother Chen? That's just right, you quit, I will cooperate with Brother Chen..."

Yan Liben was moved.

As a painter, he has very high requirements for paper.

And this high-grade paper just happened to meet his needs.

But this paper is more expensive.

If I can do this business myself, regardless of whether I will make a fortune or not, I will definitely not be short of paper in the future.

Unexpectedly, when Kong Yingda heard this, he was even more excited than him: "No, no, no, who said that the old man went back on his word? The contract is written in black and white. How can you go back on it when you say you go back..."

Yan Liben showed disappointment.

After the two chatted for a few words, Yan Liben left in a hurry.

Chen Chu looked at the back of the other party, and said to Cheng Chubi: "Chubi, send someone later to deliver two baskets of high-quality paper to Lao Yan, um, put it in Lao Kong's account."

what?

Kong Yingda was immediately unhappy: "You said you would give it to Liben, why should it be charged to my account?"

Chen Chu said with a smile: "Old Yan is your friend, and I gave him the paper for your sake. If it weren't for you, would I have given him the paper? Therefore, you should pay the bill."

what?

Kong Yingda couldn't recover for a while.

By the time he reacted, Chen Chu had already slipped away.

Kong Yingda looked at the crowds of people at the entrance of the high-end paper specialty store, stomped her feet, and said, "Oh, Chen Chu, I was killed by you. I'm old, but I still come out to sell... Sigh, that's all, just need You can pay back your capital in a month, and you can still make a fortune in the future. It won't have any bad effect on the old man's reputation, and speaking of it, it's not bad..."

Thinking about it, he returned home with a bang.

Back in the mansion, Kong Zhiyuan came forward and said, "Father, the porridge is ready."

Kong Yingda waved his hand: "Son, instead of eating porridge today, eat meat instead, quickly send someone to buy some mutton, and then go to Chang'an Da Da Da Restaurant to quietly buy some beef..."

Can I eat meat?

Kong Zhiyuan was overjoyed, and immediately sent people out of the house to buy meat.

At dusk, the Confucius Mansion was full of joy.

The faces of the servants were filled with happy smiles.

After eating porridge for nearly half a month, the Confucian Mansion finally opened meat.

Enough lamb!

Chicken and duck are enough!

Everyone opened their stomachs and ate.

Many people are afraid that Lao Kong will suddenly go crazy, and there will be no food for the next meal, so they eat meat like crazy.

Kong Yingda had a big appetite and ate a lot.

By midnight.

The quiet Confucian Mansion suddenly became noisy.

Doors opened one after another, and people were seen rushing out of the house and heading straight for the toilet.

Kong Yingda also ran out clutching her stomach.

While running, he did not forget to conclude: "You can skip meat, but you can't eat too much... I knew it would hurt my stomach, so I might as well eat porridge..."

at the same time.

In the toilet in the backyard.

Kong Zhiyuan opened the door of the latrine, lifted his robe and squatted down.

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed his buttocks.

"Someone!"

It was the voice of the housekeeper.

Kong Zhiyuan just wanted to get up, but his stomach was out of control.

puff!

All sprayed on the butler's face.

The housekeeper yelled: "Oh, young master, you haven't chewed the mutton..."

……

Chapter 128

in the palace.

Yanjia Hall.

early morning.

Empress Changsun was washing and dressing up.

The female officer came over and said, "Queen, Master Yan, the painter, has been waiting outside for a long time. He said that he was ordered by His Majesty to paint the Queen's portrait, and he dare not go back without His Majesty's order."

Empress Changsun waved her hand: "That's all, since it's second elder brother's wish, I don't want to disappoint, but, although Yan Liben is said to be the best painter in the Tang Dynasty, it's a pity that every time he paints the portrait of Bengong, it's so lifelike. It's a pity that he looks old and pale, and his skin color is not fair at all..."

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and felt dissatisfied with Yan Liben.

However, after a while, Empress Changsun still walked out of Yanjia Hall.

Came to the lake and asked Yan Liben to paint her portrait.

When the portrait was finished, a female official went to fetch the painting and suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

Empress Changsun suddenly looked unhappy: "Why, did you make me ugly again?"

But the female officer happily ran over: "Queen, your complexion is so fair, if you don't believe me, take a look..."

The female officer unfolded the portrait.

When Empress Changsun saw it, she was astonished.

I saw her in the portrait, her skin was white and flawless, like white jade, radiant and radiant.

As the saying goes, one black destroys everything!

Previously, Yan Liben's portrait of Empress Changsun had dull skin, which made Empress Changsun dissatisfied.

But the portrait in front of her made her impeccable.

Empress Changsun put down the portrait in surprise, beckoned to let Yan Liben come over, and praised: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Master Yan's painting skills have improved a lot. Today's portrait makes me very satisfied. I will definitely show it in front of Your Majesty." Good words for Lord Yan, Your Majesty please reward Lord Yan..."

Yan Liben bowed and said: "The Queen's praise, it is my duty to satisfy the Queen, but when it comes to rewards, I am ashamed to receive them."

Empress Changsun asked curiously, "Oh? Why?"
