Huiru was lifting a gap in the bead curtain, looking downstairs, seeing Yu Linglong coming, immediately smiled and waved to her: "Linglong, I'm here!"
The two sat down in the private room, which was said to be a private room, but in fact it was just a small single room separated by a carved screen, with a bead curtain hanging at the door, which not only added a layer of barriers for the people in the room, but also kept the people downstairs The scene is unobstructed.
Yu Linglong took a sip of her tea, but she didn't think it was a surprise. It seemed that Gulian Tea House's reputation was somewhat exaggerated.
This is generally the case in the world, and a place with a great reputation may not be so outstanding.
Shi Huiru had been locked up for a long time, and when she went out, she seemed very excited, and kept pulling Yu Linglong to talk about this and that, but Yu Linglong was sensitive to find that Shi Huiru's eyes drifted to the empty big desk downstairs from time to time, as if she was What are you waiting for.
When Shi Huiru poked her head out again, Yu Linglong finally said, "Are you here just to drink tea?"
Shi Huiru's round face suddenly turned red: "Didn't I want to talk to you—"
Before the words were finished, there was a sudden commotion downstairs, followed by Hong Jian's voice outside the door: "Miss, come, come!"
Shi Huiru stood up abruptly and even spilled the tea bowl, but she didn't care at all and walked to the door in a few steps.
Yu Linglong was a little amused, she already vaguely guessed the answer in her heart, she stood up, walked to Shi Huiru's side, and looked downstairs with her.
Beside the huge red sandalwood table, a slender man was already standing, wearing a royal blue gown, with gentle eyes and brows, he was clasping his fists to the applause from all around, looking very elegant.
Yu Linglong smiled faintly, and looked at Shi Huiru, and saw that when she saw the man, her face was filled with a happy smile, as warm as the sun.
In this world, there is probably only one man who can make Shi Huiru care so much. Yu Linglong was thinking like this, but she was very curious in her heart, what is Yang Huanian going to do
The question was quickly answered, and the book boy at the side spread a three-foot piece of plain white rice paper on the table, and concentrated on preparing various paints to serve Yang Huanian to paint.
For a while, there was no sound upstairs and downstairs, and nearly a hundred pairs of eyes looked at Yang Huanian.
Shi Huiru didn't even dare to take a breath, didn't even dare to blink her eyes, and looked straight at Yang Huanian.
As if he didn't feel the attention of so many people, Yang Huanian picked up the paintbrush, contemplated for a moment, and then began to write slowly. After a few strokes, he had already outlined a rough outline.
In the private room next door, someone whispered, "Shizi Yang wants to paint beauties? Isn't he good at splashing ink landscapes?"
As Yang Huanian moved his brush like flying, the characters on the paper gradually became clear, and it turned out to be a picture of beauty. The woman in the painting was slender, pretty like a spring flower, with eyebrows like distant mountains, and eyes full of ice and snow, although it was just a picture The painting is vivid, as if the woman is standing in front of everyone.
In less than a meal, the painting was completed. Yang Huanian put away the brush, and the book boy beside him immediately stepped forward, carefully blotted the wet ink stains with blotting paper, and then picked up the painting and showed it to everyone. There was thunderous applause from upstairs and downstairs, followed by praise and criticism from everyone.
Standing next to Shi Huiru, Hong Jian poked her head out and looked around hard. After seeing the beauty in the painting, Hong Jian couldn't help being surprised and said, "Hey, why does it look so familiar?"
The smile on Shi Huiru's face gradually disappeared, and then her face turned pale. She suddenly turned her head and looked straight at Yu Linglong, her eyes were full of shock and surprise.
Hong Jian's unobstructed voice sounded immediately, as if suddenly realizing: "It looks like Miss Yu Si!"
Yu Linglong's heart trembled slightly, and she looked intently, only to see that the woman in the painting was wearing a red dress with a high bun, she really looked a bit like herself.
Seeing Shi Huiru who was about to cry, Yu Linglong said calmly: "There are so many people who look alike in the world, how could it be me?"
That is, she has only met this Changting Hou Shizi once, and she hasn't even spoken to him. How could the person in Yang Huanian's painting be her
After Shi Huiru heard this, she was a little skeptical, and looked downstairs again, as if she wanted to confirm whether the person in the painting was Yu Linglong or not.
In the din of discussions downstairs, a clear voice suddenly sounded, which was very clear in the noisy teahouse: "Brother Yang is really talented, and he has lived up to my king's entrustment!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Yu Linglong frowned slightly, looked down, and saw that among the crowd, a white shirt was very eye-catching, it was Xu Wang who hadn't seen him for a few days.
At this moment, he was shaking the fan in his hand, with the usual half-smile on his face, and slowly walked towards the picture hanging in front of the table, looked carefully for a moment, then smiled at Yang Huanian: "I thought you forgot, now It seems that Brother Shi can draw this king's sweetheart so alike, even if I have to wait two more months, it's still worth it!"
Seeing King Xu's sudden arrival, Yang Huanian's face changed slightly, and his gentle smile returned in an instant: "Your Majesty, I'm honoring you."
The two asked and answered, and the crowd next to them gradually understood what was going on, laughing and discussing, who in the capital did not know that the woman Xu Wang liked was the Fourth Miss of Yufu? It's just that Yu Linglong has always lived in seclusion, and few people have seen her true face. Now after listening to Xu Wang, everyone knows that Yang Huanian drew such a picture of a beauty for Xu Wang, and the beauty in the painting is naturally the one in the legend. The Fourth Miss of the Yu Family.
Immediately, everyone rushed forward one after another, vying to see Miss Yu Si's true face.
Shi Huiru, who was standing next to the railing on the second floor, just now opened her eyes and smiled, and her mood immediately improved. She took Yu Linglong's hand and said with a smile: "Look at how kind Xu Wangye is to you, and even specially asked Shizi to give you a portrait." , this is something no one can ask for!"
Yu Linglong snorted coldly: "Who cares? It's really troublesome!"
Although she was not one of those conservative women in ancient times who kept her appearance a big secret and was afraid of being looked at by others, she still felt a little awkward being stared at by everyone.
This Yu Lieyang can really make a fuss!
Ignoring the people downstairs who were commenting enthusiastically, Yu Linglong raised the beaded curtain and went back to the table to drink tea.
Shi Huiru was embarrassed to still be Yu Linglong, exchanged a knowing glance with Hong Jian, then wisely didn't bring up the matter again, and went back to the private seat to chat with Yu Linglong.
At noon, the crowd downstairs gradually dispersed, Shi Huiru and Yu Linglong got up and left the private room, ready to leave.
"It's been a long time since I've been out, are you hungry?" Shi Huiru was always in a good mood after seeing her sweetheart, but at this moment, she was obviously still unsatisfied, "I heard that there is a restaurant nearby that makes excellent steamed fish, let's try it .”
The water near Gulian Spring is good, and there are many fish ponds. The fish here are famous for their tender meat and smooth entrance. Yu Linglong agreed, and the two walked towards the stairs together.
Just as he walked to the room in the corner of the corridor, a cold and distant voice suddenly came from the private room.
"I've covered up what happened today for you. Remember, I won't give you another chance."
Yu Linglong immediately stopped in her tracks. Why is this voice so familiar
Before she could remember who was speaking, Yang Huanian's voice had already sounded, although it was very low, it was very clear.
"I see, don't worry, there will be no next time."
Yu Linglong felt something was wrong in her heart, and before she could make a move, Shi Huiru, who was at the side, had already happily pushed open the door when she heard Yang Huanian's voice: "Brother Shizi, are you here?"
As soon as the door opened, the four people inside and outside the door were shocked.
As if it was an illusion, Yu Linglong saw a trace of coldness flashing across Xu Wang's face, and in an instant, Xu Wang stood up and looked at Yu Linglong with a smile in his eyes: "Linglong, why are you here? "
Yang Huanian was very surprised, staring at Yu Linglong in a daze, with complicated eyes.
Shi Huiru walked in, smiled and said to Yang Huanian: "I told Linglong just now that you drew her really well! Brother Shizi, haven't you only seen Linglong once? How can you draw her so much like her? "
Xu Wang on the side said with a smile: "What's so strange about this, Brother Yang Shi has excellent eyesight, he has an unforgettable memory, painting landscapes and beauties are the same."
Keenly sensing Yang Huanian's excuse in Xu Wang's words, Yu Linglong glanced at him, but just met his smiling eyes: "It's time, have you eaten yet?"
Shi Huiru smiled and said: "We are going, if the prince is fine, why not go together!"
Xu Wang immediately expressed his agreement, picked up the scroll on the table and put it away, then got up to leave: "Very good, let's go now."
Yu Linglong knew that Shi Huiru tried her best to push her, just to be able to spend more time with Yang Huanian, but she couldn't think of a reason to refuse for a moment, and Shi Huiru had already pulled her out of the room.
Xu Wang and Yang Huanian walked behind, and Yu Linglong faintly felt that there was a pair of complicated eyes behind her, which had been staring at her closely.
…
After returning to Yu Mansion, it was already time to light the lamps, Yu Linglong entered the second gate, and felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was different from the past, from time to time, maids and women hurried past, everyone had a cautious look on their faces.
Could it be that something happened
Yu Linglong quickened her pace, and arrived at Pinlanyuan in a short while. After entering the courtyard, day lilies rushed out to greet her: "Miss, you are finally back!"
Yu Linglong nodded lightly, and asked directly: "What happened?"
Hemerocallis immediately said: "At noon, the Ministry of War sent someone over to issue a transfer order, ordering the master to go to southern Xinjiang to supervise
