"There is no Cui Meiren's note, only Cui Zhuangshi's note!"
Cui Xie threw down the sentence coldly, went into the study and took out a box of newly-printed set of drawings and put it on the table, with a murderous smile on the corner of his mouth: "This letter is called Cui Jian, not a beauty. Jian, it was printed by the bookshop under the name of Cui Mou, I hope my brother will look back and see that person and give me a few words."
This time, it was Wang Xiangzhen's turn to be surprised.
"Is this drawing paper printed by your family? That kid even swore to me that it must be handmade by everyone in Jiangnan!" He sighed a few times before picking up the paper and looking at it. However, when he opened the paper box and saw the four beauties with different looks and temperaments printed on the colored paper, the faint smile on his face suddenly froze, and his breathing became lighter, as if he was afraid of disturbing the person in the painting. .
"It turns out that the people on the paper are drawn like this. No wonder the poor and sour are hidden from people to see." After looking at it for a long time, he sighed lightly, just like many people who had seen this paper before, grabbed the paper. Zhi asked, "Who are all the pictures on it? Are there really such beauties in the world?"
Of course there is such a beauty. Cui Xie recalled the actresses in TV dramas in his previous life, and thought a little smugly, he hasn't drawn the best pictures yet.
But I can't tell the truth, just when holding inkstone came in to deliver tea, he pointed at holding inkstone and said: "It's not the original shape, or I drew it according to holding inkstone. If you don't believe me, compare it, I have a talent for painting, right? Look at the bones. , guaranteed to be lifelike."
Wang Xiangzhen glanced at the handsome and simple little book boy, then lowered his head to look at the people in the paintings, and smiled subtly: "Brother Cui's painting skills are really good, brother, I really don't know how to admire your ingenious paintings. Skill, or... these eyes can see Zhu Chengbi."
Holding the inkstone also has a small temper. He threw the tea water on the table heavily, turned around and left.
Seeing that he was angry, Cui Xie quickly explained in front of the two of them: "Three courts, five eyes, hands, feet, and posture are all based on you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to draw a person who can stand up like that. But you It's a man, and when I wrote it, I changed a lot, according to the image of the beauty in my heart, I changed a lot of places, so the person who fell on the paper didn't look like you."
I explained something in front of Wang Xiangzhen, not only to let Pong Yan know that he was not joking about him, but also to break the idea of the eldest son of the king - this son loves beauty so much that he is still hiding in the backyard of their bookstore. Misunderstood that there are really such a few people in the world, and in the future, he has to come and pester him to ask for someone
Peng Yan suddenly realized, looked at him apologetically, and said in a low voice, "I misunderstood eldest brother."
The prince also looked at him, pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "I understand now, you are used to seeing beautiful women, so it's no wonder that the people you draw are good-looking."
Yes, in the Ming Dynasty, even the emperor had never seen so many beauties he saw. Even if you don't mention the stars on the screen, walking around the snack street around the art school, you can easily meet a dozen beautiful women.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile lightly, the anger caused by the painting paper being called "Cui Meiren's paper" dissipated a lot, he brought tea to Wang Xiangzhen and told him that the beauty on the paper was the character in the new book his family was going to publish. . It's just that the manuscript is taken to the craftsmen for engraving and proofreading. If he really likes it, he will first ask someone to copy it for him to enjoy.
Prince Wang, however, was not interested in reading books. He only liked the appearance of beautiful women. He smiled and said, "If I want the book with the pictures, I don't need to send the manuscript to me. Do you have any more of these drawings? Leave dozens of sets for my brother, so I can give them away."
Cui Xie said: "This is a new painting by Chongyang. It has just been engraved, and a few trial prints have not yet been officially printed. Brother Wang, don't worry, it will be printed in large quantities in five or seven days, and I will send you when the time comes. A hundred sets of sketch pads."
Wang Xiangzhen's eyes lit up, and he patted the table and said, "Brother Cui is really happy! Before they painted such a crappy picture, they were too embarrassed to show it off to me. I'll get a box of beauty tomorrow... Cui Jian hit them in the face, also called They know what beauty is..."
The more he thought about it, the more happy he became. He laughed to himself, and when he looked down and saw Cui Xie who was helping him earn his face, he immediately wanted to make him happy, so he asked, "When will you stop reading that book, and my brother will take you on a horseback?"
Scholars don't have holidays. On Chongyang Day, they took a break because my husband was going to a banquet. If we have a holiday, it will be the New Year.
Cui Xie said with regret, Young Master Wang was more than regretful, he was simply worried: "I'm a horse that I choose based on your body, you can't grow as fast as a horse, wait until the end of the year. Learn, that horse is too long for you to ride!"
... Young Master Wang is clearly well-intentioned, but why is it so awkward when you say it
Cui Xie suddenly wanted to grow to 1.9 meters immediately and stuff him under the horse's stomach. But he was a scholar after all, and he worked hard to nourish his qi. He swallowed his breath abruptly, and said with a smile, "Brother Wang is right. Then I will get up an hour earlier in the morning and go out to the city to practice horse racing."
Wang Gongzi glared and said, "What city are you out of! You can find me on the street behind Guan Gong Temple. We have a racetrack and a school ground in our house, as well as personal guards to accompany you to practice."
Cui Xie was not too embarrassed, but Wang Xiangzhen took his hand and said affectionately, "You've seen my sweet wife and concubine, and we're not even close to worshiping our mother, and it can be regarded as a good family, then you Wouldn't it be nice to come and say goodbye when you have nothing to do? We Xingwu people get up early, and you come to horseback an hour before your studies, so it won't interfere with anything."
Cui Xie thought that he had already accepted his horse, and he wanted to give back the paper. Although he was not close enough to worship his mother, he was not too distant. In contrast, borrowing the school grounds to run horses is really a trivial matter, and blunt refusal hurts feelings. So he said unceremoniously, "Then I will ride that horse tomorrow to disturb Brother Wang. Brother Wang remember to ask someone to open the door for me."
Wang Xiangzhen touched the paper with a smile and said, "I'm still pointing at you to print the beauty paper, how dare I hate you, a great genius." His heart was completely taken away by the beauty on the paper. After a few words, he held the note box and ran out to find someone to show off.
His group of brothers and friends were also dug over from home by him to admire the beauties when they were hungry. Before everyone went there, they all had the expectation that they would meet some famous prostitute, but when they arrived at the restaurant, the beautiful lady did not see it, but instead saw a thick bookcase, and their jaws almost fell, and they said in a stupefied voice: "Big brother, what are you doing? That's what the sorority masters want to say that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the Yan Ruyu in the book can't be compared to the lively and fragrant, who can sing and play!"
Wang Gongzi sneered: "Who said I brought a book, this is a picture! Beauty's picture! The beauty on this is not ordinary beauty. If someone doesn't applaud after reading it, I will..."
"How about giving him the new white horse that eldest brother got?" A sub-commander's son raised his eyes slightly and smiled sweetly. The next person smiled and said, "I came all the way from the east gate with an empty stomach, and now I would rather bet on a table of good food and drink and take the little brother Ying from Mama Liu's house who hasn't combed the cage yet. "
Wang Xiangzhen glanced at them from the corner of his eyes, and smiled proudly: "I have already given away the horse, and the banquet and Brother Xiaoying can afford it. But I said it before, who would say that the beauty in my painting is not good enough. Mei, you have to find someone who is really beautiful and show them to your brothers, otherwise you won't be able to make a good dinner with me if you talk to me."
One of the impatient children at the bottom shouted, "Brother, what are you talking about, please open the box and let us see what kind of beauty she is."
Wang Gongzi came here to show off, without much nonsense, he stretched out his hand to open the box, took out a white powder note with a roll, and slowly unfolded it.
Everyone craned their necks to watch, and Cheng Xu, the son of Zhenfu who sent him the painting, was still laughing: "Is this paper better than Cui Meiren's paper? Brothers don't know, I just got it today. I sent a painting imitating Cui Meiren to my eldest brother, and the talent on that painting is really gorgeous…”
The drawing paper was opened, revealing a dignified and luxurious beauty like a concubine in the palace, with a brocade carpet incense burner under her feet, and half a man's boots and a brocade robe in one corner of the picture. Cheng Gongzi suddenly jumped up from his seat and shouted loudly: "This is Cui Meiren's paper! It must be Cui Meiren who can draw so realistically and vividly! I have worked hard to get a copy, big brother. He actually turned his hand and took the newly printed paper, really… really…”
He was "really" for a long time, and he didn't know how to compare the two people's poor luck this day. Others were busy looking at the pictures, and they didn't care what he was shouting, just urging Wang Xiangzhen to open the next one quickly, and then open the next one.
In a short while, the two sets of eight paintings were told to open and read, but the people who read it were still unfinished. These officers' children, who have always had a headache when they see the words, have even read the poems printed on the edge of the paper, holding the pictures and arguing whether the goddess of national beauty and beauty is more luxurious or the charming and graceful witch is more bright; it is the ethereal girl The immortals are more refined or the slender female ghosts are more beautiful, and they are so excited that no one cares about the food they bring.
It wasn't until Xiao Er came over to add soup and vegetables and asked them if they wanted a hot pot of good wine. Everyone recovered from the heated debate and remembered a very important question: "Where did the eldest brother get this beauty note, Are there more? How can only eight are enough for so many of us to share! It's strange that those scholars are hiding in the deep room so that no one can see them."
Wang Gongzi glanced around the crowd with a smile, and said proudly: "I have the same sympathy with the owner of the note making, not to mention this box of notes, even if he wants ten boxes or a hundred boxes, he is willing to give it without saying a word. Mine. When the paper is printed, I will send you a few boxes too, to live up to our brotherly love."
Cheng Gongzi asked in surprise: "Brother Wang is saying... Could it be that Cui Meiren is also convinced by the eldest brother's beauty and handsomeness, and willingly follows you?"
Wang Xiangzhen choked a mouthful of wine into his throat and almost spit it out, but he was afraid that the spitting water would wet the paper, so he swallowed it abruptly, stared at Cheng Xu and coughed fiercely for a long time.
Someone patted him on the back, but more people came up and asked chaotically: "Where does Cui Meiren belong, what does she really look like, who does she look like in the painting? Are there any such beautiful sisters in her family? ?"
Wang Gongzi covered his mouth and didn't know whether to laugh or cough. After a while, he said: "Don't mention Cui Meiren's note in the future, people are not happy. Give me a serious point, call me 'Cui Jian'. The one who made the note is The owner behind the study in the west of the city, a loyal and brave man in the imperial court, and a character in a good scene. The name of his study is stamped on the seal at the back of the poem. If you want to buy a book, go to the study and buy his book. , but don't spread the word 'Cui Meiren' everywhere."
The group of people all sighed: "Then it's not a beauty? It's a pity, if it was made of beauty, it would be more delicious to look at. When I think that it was drawn by such a rough man, I always feel that even beauty is lost. a bit of color."
It's a pity, it's a pity, these beauties with faces like hibiscus and jade breasts on the paper are not fake, they still want to buy them, so they ask Wang Gongzi how much this painting paper sells for a set.
Wang Gongzi patted his forehead and sighed, "I forgot to ask, but I think it's just a few taels of silver for a set. What's the price of Bibi's beauty pictures outside, it should be more expensive. When I go back, his family will send me a note. , I will give up my face to ask the brothers for a real price, and then report the name of Wang Xiangzhen to me when you want to buy it, it is estimated that it will be cheaper by a couple of taels."
Everyone counted how many sets to buy as gifts for elders and beauties, and a few others who had different preferences were already discussing to exchange beauty notes and receive a few more beauties they loved. Young Master Wang was drinking soju, playing with the beauty note with his feet up, and said vaguely, "If you say it's Cui Meiren's note... it's worthy of the name."
