Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

When they closed the shop and went home at night, the posture of the two of them was like this, Luo Ding was carrying Shen Chenai on his back, and Shen Chenai was carrying a lot of things in his hands.

When the two of them entered the door with such a look, Mrs. Chen had just finished dinner. She looked at the pile of things in Shen Chenai's hand and said, "Are you buying new year's goods in advance?"

Luo Ding put Shen Chenai on the kang, and then replied to Mrs. Chen: "No, these things are the thank you gifts we will use when we visit Yue's house in the north of the city tomorrow."

When Mrs. Chen heard the words Yuejia in the north of the city, her hands visibly shook. She looked around and made sure that Yuegui and Xiaoshan were not here. I wanted to tell you guys, but I just haven’t found a suitable opportunity. It just happened to be here today, so I’ll tell you directly.”

As she spoke, she seemed to be still afraid that the two children would run out suddenly, she lowered her head and said to them in a low voice: "I heard that Niu Da Niu was very favored for a while after she entered the old man's house. A few days ago, an old lady who worked at Yue’s family told me that the Niu girl seemed to be pregnant. This made Mr. Yue, who was almost [-] years old, very happy, and said that he wanted to hold a big feast to celebrate. That."

Shen Chenai blinked her eyes when she heard the words, then turned her head to look at Luo Ding.To him, that big girl is just a floating cloud. He doesn't even know what that woman looks like, so how could he care about her life and death.

But Luo Ding is different, this one is in pain, he must be very unhappy to hear the news, right?

But to Shen Chenai's surprise, after listening to Mrs. Chen's words, Luo Ding said without changing his expression: "That woman is no longer a member of our Luo family, whether she is alive or dead, good or bad, It has nothing to do with our Luo family."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen replied: "Of course I know it's such a gift, but you must also know that woman's character. I'm afraid she will play tricks on you at the Yue family."

Hearing this, Luo Ding smiled contemptuously and replied: "Auntie, you don't have to worry too much. Although the Yue family has an old man in name, most of the big families in Fengcheng know that he is just the emperor. What the Yue family really said The one who counts is Yue Laojiu, because the current foundation of the Yue family was completely built by him and a group of brothers with bare hands. Therefore, the group of people under the Yue family will only listen to Yue Laojiu's words. The old man is just a Buddha who is enshrined by others, and it is okay to receive incense at ordinary times, but when something really happens, no one in the Yue family will listen to him."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen patted her chest and said, "I'm relieved now, Mrs. Niu, that big girl is really lucky. If she's like this, she still has a chance to turn around."

Luo Ding snorted coldly and said, "I don't think so. I probably understand Yue Chong's temper. It's fine if Niu Da Niu is willing to be obedient. What should I have thought, the first person to kill her must be Yue Chong."

The topic ended soon, because Yue Gui, who had gone out to play, came back with Xiao Shan.The adults in the room had a tacit understanding this time and didn't say anything in front of the children.

The next day, Luo Ding and Shen Chenai still appeared in front of the gate of Yue's mansion in the form of returning home. After Luo Ding put Shen Chen's down, he gently knocked on the door of Yue's house.

The one who came out to open the door for them was the butler of the Yue family. The person who went shopping yesterday had already told him everything that happened at the Luo family's butcher shop when he came back.As the housekeeper of the Yue family, he certainly knew that his boss was helping the Luo family. After all, he was the one who asked someone to release the pigeon himself.

So this morning after receiving two good suckling pigs at the corner gate, the butler has been waiting for Luo Ding and the others to come to the main gate.

The conscientious butler has been sending Luo Ding and Shen Chenai into the living room, where Yue Chong, the head of the Yue family, is waiting for them.

After Luo Ding entered the room, he first sat down with Shen Chenai, who was somewhat inconvenient to move, and then he arched his hands and said to Yue Chong who was sitting in the main seat: "My surname is Luo, and I have a single name. This is my Qidi. His surname is Shen." He was the one who was taken away by the gangsters last time. Our husband and wife came here this time to thank Yue Jiuye for your help last time. We should have sent a greeting card first to visit, but the time is too short , so I had to rush to the door."

After hearing Luo Ding's words, Yue Jiu, who was sitting there, got up to return the salute, and said: "What kind of greetings do you have? Our sons and daughters never recognize that. You can bring your family over to see me, I will I'm already very happy, it happens that our family is going to have a banquet today, Brother Luo, you and your Qidi must stay and drink a few glasses of beer wine."

Luo Ding knew about Yue Chong's invitation before he came, so he said without the slightest hesitation about Yue Chong's invitation: "Since you have already said that, we will be disrespectful."

When Yue Chong got up and was about to take his guests to the table, he suddenly found a painting scroll among the thank-you gifts that Luo Ding and the others had sent over, so he walked over to unfold the painting, and inside it was a work by Shen Chenyan.

That work depicts the two little milk dogs in Luo Ding's family. At that time, the two little things had just had their fill, and they were leaning on each other drowsily.Shen Chenai used his magical paintbrush to faithfully record the appearance of the two of them. The artist made the dogs' demeanors vivid on the drawing paper.

This painting was a work that Shen Chenai was very satisfied with, so he didn't ask Xu Jian to hang the painting on the wall, but chose to keep it as a treasure for himself.

This time Luo Ding took him to Yue's house to thank him, Shen Chenai felt that he had to express his heart no matter what, so he took out the painting and gave it as a gift.

Yue Chong obviously liked his paintings, and after appreciating them for a long time, he opened his mouth and said to Shen Chenai: "I have heard that Yun Wu's painting skills are vivid, and today I saw it is really extraordinary. Yue is lucky to be able to meet a real person today. I am very happy about the painting, but I still have an unfeeling request, I hope you will not refuse the real person."

After Shen Chenai heard this, she stood up unsteadily and said to Yue Chong, "Yue Jiuye once saved my life, this please is really flattering me. If you have any orders, please say them directly. If I can do it, I, Shen Chenai, will never say no."

Yue Chong smiled and said: "I have always wanted to draw a portrait of myself, but I have asked several masters to come over, and the works I painted can't satisfy me very much. This time I saw a real person's portrait After the painting, I think you are the painter I'm looking for, but I don't know if you will come here and paint a portrait for me?"

Painting a portrait of Yue Jiu is his job, so what's the problem?Thinking of this, Shen Chenai looked at Luo Ding and saw that he had no intention of objecting, so she agreed without hesitation.

Yue Chong was very happy when he heard the words, he led the way and brought Shen Chenai and Luo Ding into the banquet hall, introduced them to the guests one by one, and explained to them the identities of the guests .

Shen Chenai listened with all her ears, but she didn't hear anyone surnamed Niu.Even the protagonist of this banquet, Mr. Yue Shen Chenai, didn't see it.During the entire banquet, no one mentioned the matter of the Yue family's imminent addition, as if the banquet was held just to bring everyone together.

No one from the host family mentioned it, and they naturally wouldn't ask any questions as guests. After eating a meal in a friendly manner, Yue Chong sent them out of the gate on purpose.

Early the next morning, Shen Chenai had just had breakfast and packed up all the things she needed to draw.After just talking to Mrs. Chen, people from Yue's family came to pick him up with a Ruan sedan chair.

Shen Chenai didn't expect the people from Yue's family to come so early, after hastily changing clothes, she took her own things and came to Yue's mansion in a sedan chair.

Yue Chong had already been waiting for Shen Chenai in the living room, he was dressed very formally today.Dark blue robes, black half arms, a pair of cotton boots of the same color as the half arms, all hair combed up, tied behind the head with a sky blue hair mask, the whole person looks particularly energetic.

Shen Chenai knew from his attire that he attached great importance to this portrait, so Shen Chenai also immediately entered his professional mode, asking someone to find a big desk and find out all the things he needed After setting it up, he studied the ink and toned it, and asked Yue Chong, "Boss Yue's portrait is going to be half-length or full-length?"

Yue Chong tidied up his clothes and said, "Of course it's the whole body, the more complete the better."

Shen Chenai replied after hearing the words: "In this case, the chair can't be used anymore, Boss Yue, you have to stand until I finish painting."

Hearing this, Yue Chong said that there was no problem, and he squatted down for a long time after standing on the horse step, and he still cared about standing for several hours.

Shen Chenai made sure that there was no problem with Yue Jiu, so she picked up her small ink stick that had already been wrapped, and started her own creation on the long rice paper.

Because of the preparations in advance, the materials for Yue Chong's portrait this time are more complete than Luo Ding's bust sketch. In addition to the carbon strips, Shen Chenyi also prepared several color seasonings, which he plans to use this time of.

Although the portraits of people pay attention to the authenticity, if the painter really portrays the model completely according to the appearance of the model, the result will definitely not be pleasing, so the handling of details such as lines, light and color contrast is the most important thing. It is time to test a painter's painting skills.

Shen Chenai started to pick up a paintbrush when he was four or five years old. Nearly 20 years of experience gave him his own understanding of those details.So after this portrait was created, it not only has a realistic painting method, but also has Shen Chenai's own unique charm on top of the painting style.

Yue Chong is also very satisfied with Shen Chenai's work, which can be seen from his approving expression.He took the newly painted portrait and asked Shen Chenai who was packing up at the table: "I heard that you have painted a portrait of Luo Ding before, real person. I wonder how it compares to mine?"

Shen Chenai neatly packed her things, and upon hearing Yue Jiu's question, she replied unceremoniously: "This painting is for you, and that painting is for him. To me, the difference between them is Can't compare."

Regarding Shen Chenai's answer, Yue Jiu was not angry when he heard it, but said in a low voice: "Yes, what you give to your lover is not comparable to ordinary things."

Shen Chenai didn't think it was strange to see him in a daze. Recently, there were too many weird things around him, and he was already a little numb.

After Shen Chenai packed up his painting tools, he leaned on his crutches and said to Yue Chong, "Boss Yue, the portrait has already been drawn for you, so I should take my leave too."

Hearing this, Yue Jiu regained his composure, and immediately asked the housekeeper to bring a piece of Fang Mo, handed it to Shen Chenai and said, "Thank you Mr. Shen, this Fang Mo is an old ink from Rongbaozhai, a friend from a few days ago It was given to me. I’m a big boss, so it’s a waste if this piece of ink falls into my hands. Mr. Shen, you are different. I heard that you are not only good at painting, but also very good at calligraphy. This ink piece Only in your hands can it play its true role, so please don't disappoint me, sir, just accept it."

Shen Chenai wanted to decline when he heard the words, but Yue Jiu didn't give him this chance, so he asked someone to put ink sticks into Shen Chenai's ink cartridge, and sent him back respectfully in a sedan chair.

After Shen Chenai left, Yue Jiu immediately asked someone to frame the new portrait, and then sent someone to send a letter to Xu Jian, saying that he had obtained an excellent new painting, and asked him to come to the house to appreciate it together.

Xu Jian, who had been invited, came over excitedly. When he saw the new work Yue Jiu had mentioned in the living room, he wished he could throw the teacup in his hand to his face.

How could someone invite others to comment on his own portrait? Xu Jian has never seen such a thick-skinned person at his age. Yue Chong opened his eyes this time.
