Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

Tai Tuo's birthday

How can Yan Xi have so many twists and turns in his mind, painting is what he is best at, so it is natural to have one to say one, and another to say another. "The pen and ink are too heavy, which seems to be a bit too crafty, and it loses the sense of agility of the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. The distant mountains are low and the trees are close. If Gu Tingzhi can live in Hangzhou for a while, look at Su Causeway Spring Willows" , the painting must be much better than it is now... Yulou pearls and foil rolls, lonely clouds and distant. Sleeping. The aloes are all gone, not Jiangnan... In the dream, Jiangnan is not Jiangnan, so he wants to come to Hangzhou more often, don't just dream..." Liang Yanwen tugged at his sleeve, Yan Xi returned Seeing several people looking at him together, the god secretly exclaimed that it was terrible, and smiled embarrassingly, "I used to work as a clerk in the painting studio, and I saw and heard a lot, so I made it up casually, the prince should not be offended."

Li Xingzhi said angrily: "You also know it's just making it up!"

"Master, don't blame me. What Yan Xi said is perfect." Lin Rongchen praised with his usual expression, and then added, "Youth can be expected, and future generations can be feared."

The reason why he fell in love with this painting at the beginning was that he wanted to get to know Gu Tingzhi, and the other was because of the inscription on the painting.It's not without embarrassment that my beloved painting has been demoted by Yan Xi now, but I can only endure it.

"My lord's praise." Yan Xi kindly wanted to save Lin Rongchen's face, "In fact, although Gu Tingzhi's paintings cannot be called masterpieces, there are not many that can be compared in this world, and they are still quite valuable..." Liang Yanwen cast a desperate look at him.Yunxin, please stop talking.

"..."

There was such a sudden silence that people didn't know what to say.

Li Xingzhi let out a dry cough, and put away the painting, "No matter how good the painting skills are, the eyes are the most important. If you like it, no matter how good the other ones are, you won't be able to catch the eye. If you don't like it, what's the point of being worth thousands of dollars? This painting "Spring Willows on Su Causeway" 》It’s because of fate with me, not to mention it was a gift from the prince, a lifetime is enough for a grassroots to have a student like the prince!"

Only then did Lin Rongchen's face soften, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if a light moon filled it.

"Kneel down for me!" Sending Lin Rongchen away, Li Xingzhi's face was as cold as the twelfth lunar month, as cold as he wanted, "Be self-willed! Do you know who you were talking to just now! If the prince is a narrow-minded person, Do you think you can still kneel here today? If you are so indecisive, let alone yourself, the entire Li family may be implicated!" The more Li Xingzhi talked, the more angry he was, he wanted to hang him up and beat him up. good. "It's fine if you don't learn all day long, when will you be mature and stable, and understand what to say and what not to say?"

"What my grandfather taught me is that my grandson will definitely change it in the future!" The quickness of the tongue just now is indeed worthy of reflection, and Yan Xi accepted Li Xingzhi's teachings with kindness.

Li Xingzhi had nothing to do with him, he sighed, "I hope you can do what you say. I will reflect on it in the study today, and you are not allowed to go out without my order!"

"Grandfather also said just now that the prince has a big heart, so he probably won't care about me."

Although Lin Rongchen was not a narrow-minded person, but someone refuted his face so bluntly, which made him very depressed. In addition, Zhang Xun kept nagging in his ears, and suddenly felt that the willow branches hanging by the roadside were an eyesore.

"My lord, do you want to punish this Yan Xi?" Judging from the steps, the lord was very, very unhappy about what happened to the Li family just now, and Zhang Xun felt that it was necessary to share his master's worries.

Lin Rongchen paused, "What are you treating him for?"

"The crime of disrespect." In front of the prince, he said that the painting he gave was not good. If he was not Li Xingzhi's righteous grandson, he would have been locked up in the prison of the magistrate's yamen.

"You poured water all over my body early in the morning, will this king also punish you for disrespect?" Lin Rongchen said angrily.

Zhang Xun trembled when he heard the words, "My lord, calm down!"

Lin Rongchen gave him a sideways glance, following him for so long, yet still so carefree. "When was the original date to return to Beijing?"

Zhang Xun breathed a sigh of relief, bent over to Lin Rongchen's side, and counted with his fingers, "We will set off in seven days, and the journey will take about seven days. If there is no accident, we will arrive in Beijing in half a month."

"Is your waist broken?"

Zhang Xun let out a dry laugh and straightened his body.

"I'm afraid I have to go back later." Changing the topic, Lin Rongchen said again, "Go and find out what kind of people Liang Yanwen and Yan Xi are?"

Didn't you hear the rumors of Yan Xi in the capital? Can this kind of thing be false?I muttered in my heart, but since the prince wanted to investigate, Zhang Xun walked very fast.

On the day of his birthday, Zhang Xun brought the prepared clothes into the room early: a cinnabar straight skirt surrounded by python patterns, a red ocher red jade leather belt, a golden hair-tied crown...

"..." Lin Rongchen glanced at the golden crown with a disgusted expression on his face, he didn't even want to wear the unicorn jade pendant given by the emperor.

Zhang Xun was puzzled, "A gentleman has no reason, and the jade will not go away. The prince should wear it."

Lin Rongchen refused expressionlessly, "I won't wear it."

Although Lin Rongchen didn't like these extraneous things very much on weekdays, they were always arranged by him, how could he be so resistant today?Could it be that Yan Xi was afraid that when he saw Yupei remembering what happened in Liuyun Tower that day, he would speak nonsense for a while? "Is the prince worried that Mr. Yan will recognize this jade pendant?" Don't take it if you don't wear it!Zhang Xun put the jade pendant back, "Don't worry, my lord, Mr. Yan doesn't even remember anyone, let alone Yu."

"Shut up!" Lin Rongchen's complexion became even worse.

"..." Since Lin Rongchen went out, Zhang Xun really didn't say a word.

"Have you brought the birthday gift of the emperor's brother?" When he left Beijing, Lin Ronghan specially came to give him the gift, and asked him to help give it to Li Xingzhi.

"..." Zhang Xun didn't speak.

"Say." Lin Rongchen closed his eyes.

Zhang Xun breathed out, "Don't worry, my lord, bring it."

It is not far from the government office to Li's mansion, the two were talking, when they raised their eyes, they saw Li Xingzhi standing in front of the steps to welcome the guests, with only a butler beside him, Yan Xi and Liang Yanwen were gone, Lin Rongchen continued to be unhappy, "The two people Woolen cloth?"

"This subordinate doesn't know either..." As soon as he said five words, he saw Lin Rongchen's eyes slashing at him, Zhang Xun immediately changed his voice, "Your subordinate will go and ask."

"No need!"

There are a lot of guests today.Life at seventy is rare since ancient times. After all, at this age, life is getting less and less every day.Li Xingzhi has lived in the temple for nearly fifty years, and there are countless colleagues, friends, and aristocratic family friends, all of whom came to celebrate his birthday as if they were in a hurry to see each other for the last time.In addition, this birthday banquet has a decree from the Holy Spirit, even if they can't come, they will send someone to give a gift.

"My lord!" Li Xingzhi was overjoyed when he saw him.

Lin Rongchen stepped forward quickly, and helped Li Xingzhi who was about to salute, "It's windy today, teacher, let's go in! Just leave the butler here to welcome guests."

"It doesn't matter, Cao Min's body is quite strong." Li Xingzhi patted his hands and smiled heartily, "You Fang, take the prince in for a cup of tea and rest for a while."

Lin Rongchen let go of his hands, and no longer forced, "Father originally wanted it all, but it made my teacher suffer."

Li Xingzhi said: "My lord's words are really hurting the grassroots. It is the blessing of the grassroots to be remembered by the Holy One, how can you say that you are troubled?"

Passing through the courtyard, Lin Rongchen looked around but did not see Yan Xi and Liang Yanwen, so he turned around and said, "Where are your two sons?"

Li Youfang replied: "Master just sent the eldest son to pick up Mr. Gu Chun, and the second son is setting up the main hall."

"Painter Saint Liu Guchun?"

"Yes, Mr. Gu Chun is coming to Gusu for the first time, so it is inevitable that he can't figure out the way. The master asked the eldest son to pick up the old man."

Li Xingzhi and Liu Guchun had a very close friendship, but Liu Guchun didn't like officialdom, and rarely went to the capital. Lin Rongchen was looking forward to seeing the demeanor of the painter at the birthday banquet. "Well, let's go down, I can walk around as I please. If necessary, I will send Zhang Xun to look for you."

"My lord..." Li Youfang hesitated to speak, "Is my lord going to the main hall? This old slave is going to watch tea." At this time, Yan Xi was busy hanging up the picture of the Eight Immortals celebrating his birthday, and Li Youfang was afraid that he would not recognize the lord and offend him , extremely worried.

"My lord saw several apricot flowers in the mansion blooming in full bloom yesterday. I think it will be even more charming when I come to bring dew in the morning..."

Li Youfang breathed a sigh of relief, "The old slave is leading the way for the prince."

Zhang Xun thought about Lin Rongchen's thoughts, and immediately stopped him, "I have already memorized the road in the mansion, so I won't bother the housekeeper."

After leaving Li Youfang, Lin Rongchen walked towards the main hall.

"My lord isn't going to enjoy the flowers?"

Lin Rongchen said: "Can't you see that the housekeeper doesn't want me and Yan Xi to meet each other alone?"

"Why is that?" The tone of Li Youfang's words just now seemed to have this intention.Is it because of the delivery of paintings yesterday?

Lin Rongchen rolled his eyes at him, "How does this king know?"

Zhang Xun sneered, "The lord..." Before he finished speaking, Lin Rongchen's right foot had already stepped into the threshold.

Immediately, Zhang Xun's eyes blurred, and a figure was knocked out of the door.With that attire, he could recognize that the person rolling twice on the steps was Lin Rongchen.A bitten red apple rolled down at his elbow...

Zhang Xun reacted quickly, and he helped Lin Rongchen up, who was all over the place and lost his demeanor, with lightning speed.

really good--

Lin Rongchen took a deep breath and straightened his clothes.Looking up at the culprit by the door, fire can be seen in his eyes.Is it his destiny to fight against this dude?However, I have only been in Suzhou for three days, and this is already the fourth time.

Seeing that the person he bumped into was wearing a boa robe, Yan Xi cried out inwardly.Before he could swallow the apple in his mouth, he knelt down on his knees and said vaguely: "That... my lord, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, please forgive me!"

Did you recognize him today?Lin Rongchen snorted coldly and tried his best to hold back.He has never been in such a state of embarrassment in 21 years.

Zhang Xun knew that no matter how angry he was today, he would hold back for Li Xingzhi's sake, so he was asked to say, "Second Young Master, don't panic, the prince has always been magnanimous and will not care about your unintentional mistakes."

Yan Xi didn't think so much, since Zhang Xun said so, Lin Rongchen must really not care about him, and immediately opened his mouth, revealing his snow-white teeth, "Thank you, my lord!"

Without even looking at him, Lin Rongchen shook off Zhang Xun and entered the main hall angrily.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.
