Pastoral Jiaoyi's mother and father are here

Chapter 221 Blue Eyed Witch King (Part [-])
After lunch, Prince Jing asked his servants to arrange a long table and prepared pens, inks, papers and inkstones for these young masters and ladies to discuss painting.

It was someone who splashed ink first, drawing one scene after another.

The scenery of Baiju Garden is very beautiful. In front of the bamboo house is an endless sea of ​​flowers. The background of the sea of ​​flowers is a green hill. It is said that this mountain is full of pines, cypresses and green bamboos. wonderland.

In the sea of ​​flowers in the chrysanthemum garden, there is an ancient pine tree, a gazebo, a white marble statue, and a huge mushroom behind the statue, which just shields the statue from wind and rain, and is elegant and refined.

This stone statue is none other than Princess Jing, who has been dead for more than ten years.

When Gu Xiangsi saw this stone statue, he sighed that the royal family of Xiling clan was out of love!
Shui Canghai can't do anything else, but the painting is still good.

In addition, Mr. Huayuan has trained him severely, and his painting skills have improved by leaps and bounds these days.

Before the Qiuju Poetry Meeting, Mr. Huayuan came to the Chrysanthemum Garden for a day, and after returning, he strictly trained Shui Canghai to paint the scenery for an hour. The scenery at this hour is the most beautiful and moving. It was set up from the start.

Even the light and the red glow of the setting sun must be used in an extremely appropriate color without any deviation.

It was also because of this that Shui Canghai sat without moving, first looking at the stone statue and then at the sea of ​​flowers, feeling indescribably leisurely.

It wasn't until the sun set and a cloud appeared in the sky that he sprinkled water to wet the paper, took a pen and daubed with paint indiscriminately, just like a child scribbling nonsense.

Han Jue has been with Shui Canghai all the time. When he was painting in Shui Canghai, he stopped his pen and turned his head to focus on the tip of Shui Canghai's pen, wondering what he was going to paint.

Gu Xiangsi slept in the bamboo hut. She took a nap for a long time and didn't wake up until the sun went down.

In fact, it was woken up.

Everyone outside was speechless in astonishment.

In the painting of Shui Canghai, there are bamboo houses and the bamboo forest behind, there are sika deer running out, the sun is setting, and there are ancient pines and hexagonal pavilions in the sea of ​​flowers. The man in the green cloak is holding a white ink chrysanthemum umbrella dyed by the setting sun, and the woman in the water-green skirt beside her, with her orchid fingers raised lightly, has a slender figure as if she is dancing for the man.

Bamboo huts and bamboo forests, amidst the sea of ​​flowers, the setting sun, men holding umbrellas, and women dancing in the wind, this picture is extremely beautiful and warm, making people feel the most ordinary happiness.

"This is... Prince Jing and Princess Jing?" Han Jue admired Shui Canghai's painting skills very much. It's Princess Jing.

"Zheliu! You really gave me a precious gift!" King Jing walked with the setting sun, and when he saw this painting, his eyes were a little moist.

Shui Canghai chose a framed picture scroll at the beginning, and now that the painting was finished, it was almost dry, so he picked it up with both hands and handed it to Prince Jing, and said with a smile: "Have troubled the prince for a long time. , should give the prince a heavy gift."

"Thank you Zheliu!" King Jing was not polite and accepted the painting.

This little regret in his life has also been made up for today.

"Brother Zheliu's paintings are really moving." Han Jue has never seen such thick and colorful paintings, and he has never seen someone smudge the colors first, and then describe the details with fine brushwork.

In the painting, the lines of sika deer, figures, gazebo and bamboo house are smooth and clear.

But the bamboo forest behind the bamboo house, the lawn and flower sea in front of the house, as well as the ancient pines and green hills, all become imagery, including the sunset.

The fusion of clarity and blur is just right and touching.

I really didn't realize that Brother Zheliu, who is so indifferent and quiet, actually has a passionate and gentle heart?

It's not Shui Canghai who is affectionate and gentle, but Hua Yuanjun, who has seven orifices in his heart.

……

Since the Qiuju poetry meeting that day, Shui Canghai has been in contact with Zhao Wenjing a few times, and they met inadvertently on the street. He happened to have a delicate gadget in his hand, so he gave it to Zhao Wenjing. This kind of handy, but was greatly misunderstood by Zhao Wenjing.

During the days when Shui Canghai seduced Zhao Wenjing, the envoys from Nanyan Kingdom also arrived in Xilan City.

Nanyan Kingdom is a country that believes in Buddhism. They love peace. Along the way, they used the kindness they brought to pray for many people and distributed a lot of food to the poor.

When the flags and wind chimes of their team sounded crisply, the young men they brought played the harps and pipas, the flutes and panpipes, and played the gentle tunes that symbolized peace in their Nanyan Kingdom...

Girls in elegant and bright clothes walking in front of the carriage will dance all the way. They are holding flowers, wearing bracelets with small golden bells and gauze hats with beaded strings. And the beautiful blue eyes, like the blue sky and the icy sea, are extremely beautiful and moving.

"Sister Wangfei, look, the BMW incense car painted with gold and inlaid with precious stones is sitting on the Nanrong King of Nanyan Kingdom——Lan Jue." Bei Gongzhen accompanied Gu Xiangsi to wait on the second floor of Baiweiju. When the team from Nanyan Kingdom arrived, what surprised her was that the envoys from Nanyan Kingdom this year were the same as the envoys from five years ago, which is really strange.

"Lan Jue? Isn't Nanyan Kingdom renamed Nangong?" Gu Xiangsi sat on the bench next to the beauty, gnawed an apple in her hand, looked at the carriage approaching from far, and the crystal hanging on the light yellow gauze curtain Behind the curtain, a man dressed in ice-blue Nanyan costume appeared, what a pity!He was also wearing a silver mask inlaid with exquisite sapphires. She couldn't see his face, but just accidentally met his blue eyes, which were as clear as the sea. They were so gentle and beautiful.

"Lan Jue follows his mother's surname. His mother is the princess of the Wu clan of Nanyan Kingdom. When the whole family joined the Nangong clan, they made this request to the former emperor of Nangong clan. They don't want the prince of Nanyan Kingdom. They asked the second son born to the princess of the Wu clan to become the witch king of their Wu clan. Because the Wu clan is good at medicine and divination, Nanyan Kingdom needs their medical skills to save the people who are suffering from illness. The first emperor of the Nangong clan agreed When he and the queen gave birth to the second son, he will be adopted by the Wu clan, and this child will become the king of the Wu clan." Bei Gongzhen ate a plate of stewed beef and looked down at the carriage passing Baiweiju. , said vaguely: "So, Lan Jue follows his mother's surname Lan, not Nangong."

"In that case, this Lanjue Witch King is a healer?" Gu Xiangsi gnawed on an apple, and looked at the peace envoy of Nanyan Kingdom again, tsk!What a pair of gentle and seductive blue eyes, she would have suspected that this man was capable of witchcraft.

"Second brother, what are you looking at?" The masked girl in a white dress embroidered with gold patterns was puzzled by the strangeness of her elder brother. What attracted the second brother's attention?

"There is a very beautiful woman on the second floor of Baiweiju." Lan Jue was honest. He answered his sister's question truthfully, and looked away reluctantly, because Baiweiju was already behind the car. I can't see that beautiful woman anymore.

"Everyone in Xihe Country is as beautiful as the full moon. The second brother has seen many beauties, but he can't help but look at a woman more. It can be seen that this woman must be a stunning beauty." The girl's name Her name is Nangong Che, which sounds like a man's name, but she is actually a delicate beauty.

"Well, she is very beautiful, especially her eyes, which are black and bright, and make people look at her and feel that she is attacking you." Lan Jue has never met a woman with such aggressive eyes, and it is also the first time It's really strange that when someone looks at him, they don't respond with kindness and tenderness, but are full of indifference and guard.

"Black eyes with strong attack power?" Nangong Che came to Xihe Country for the first time. She met many people from Xihe Country before. When they looked at them, they were very kind and gentle, and no one had ever treated them Full of hostility?

In this way, the woman that the second brother noticed is really special.

Lan Jue didn't take this matter too seriously. The people of Nanyan Kingdom like peace and beauty. This woman is beautiful, just like the flowers he saw. He thought it was pleasing to the eye, so he took a second look. That's all.

This was just a passing admiration, he didn't have any covetousness or possessiveness towards her.

Afterwards, he would naturally only recall this beautiful scene, without any blasphemy against the beautiful her.

After Bei Gongzhen walked past Baiweijuqian Street in the Nanyan Kingdom convoy, she looked at Gu Xiangsi in puzzlement and asked, "Sister Wangfei, Lan Jue didn't mean anything to you, why did you look at him so fiercely?" ?”

Gu Xiangsi took a bite of the apple, chewed it twice, looked at Bei Gongzhen and said, "Ah Yan told me before that there are no people with clear minds among those in high positions. People in Nanyan Kingdom, perhaps among the people at the bottom, most of them They are all kind people who love peace, but among the superiors, it is impossible to have any kind and compassionate people. This Lan Jue can lead the Wu clan, and he can also go to Xihe country twice. Do you think he may be a simple-minded person? An innocent person?"

"Huh? Sister Wangfei, you are so smart! You just heard me say that I knew Lan Jue, so you guessed that Nan Yan was also the envoy of Xihe Kingdom last time?" Bei Gongzhen admired Gu Xiangsi very much, I also think that what Gu Xiangsi said, there is no one in the upper class who is careless, even his second brother is a big bastard, isn't he as thoughtful as a lotus root hole?

Gu Xiangsi looked at her with a broken smile and said, "You silly girl, didn't you tell me before? You grew up so big, did you only come across the ocean to Xihe country?"

"Ah, this, I forgot." Bei Gongzhen blushed and smiled, she really forgot how many things she had said to the princess and sister before.

Gu Xiangsi also finished watching the fun, so she took Bei Gongzhen back to the room. As for the two envoys from Nanyan Kingdom and Beiju Kingdom, she still prefers Beigong Li. But he is a violent person, and he is more sincere.

As for Dongyue Kingdom?She felt that the envoy would be an acquaintance Bei Gongzhen knew.

Because Dongfang Ao loves Xiling Liuqing deeply, it is impossible for him not to come to see Xiling Liuqing in Moon God Palace.

"Sister Wang Concubine, I saw that Nanyan Kingdom brought more than one princess. The women riding horses on both sides of the front of the carriage seem to be the princesses of Nanyan Kingdom." Bei Gongzhen ate delicious braised beef. , drinking this kind of higher grade sorghum wine, suddenly thought of this, she felt very strange?

"Naturally, there will be more people coming this year. Didn't you, Beiju Kingdom, bring along two princesses and the daughters of six important ministers?" Gu Xiangsi knew that since last year, Xilan City has been ordered by the King of Xihe Kingdom. , sent documents to Nanyan Kingdom, Beiju Kingdom, and Dongyue Kingdom, along with some explanations about the benefits of exchange students.

It is also because of this that there are quite a lot of missionaries from the Three Kingdoms this year, there are a lot of noblemen and ladies, and naturally there are also a lot of talented students.

Bei Gongzhen thinks so too, there are a lot of people from Beiju Kingdom this year, they are all carefully selected by the emperor's brother, and they are definitely people with real talents and real learning.

"Okay, don't eat it too, this beef is not easy to digest if you eat too much." Gu Xiangsi reached out and removed the beef and the wine jar in front of her. She said: "Master Li is a literati, and literati like that fair lady the most. They only drink for fun, and they pay attention to the end of the drink. You are such a big eater and drinker... If Mr. Li You have become a brother and a good buddy, how can you turn him into your son-in-law?"

"That's right! How did I forget about this?" Bei Gongzhen raised her hand and slapped her forehead, and she said that recently Li Mingjing got along with her more and more casually, and she thought it was Li Mingjing who liked her a little bit !
Now that I think about it carefully, Li Mingjing wouldn't really consider her a brother, would he?
"These literati are the most troublesome, and I don't know why you fell in love with him?" Gu Xiangsi said with a smile on purpose, in fact, she wanted to know whether Bei Gongzhen really liked Li Mingjing, or if it was just a young girl's first love. Admiration for a man.

"No, Sister Wangfei, brother Mingjing is very good, he is not a pedantic and rigid literati." Bei Gongzhen hurriedly defended Li Mingjing, and did not want anyone to attribute Li Mingjing to the rigid and pedantic type of literati.

Gu Xiangsi was amused by her, got up and walked to the door on the other side, opened the door, and saw Li Mingjing standing in the corridor outside the door, who was caught awkwardly by her, and greeted with a smile: "Lord Li is here, why don't you?" Why don't you knock on the door?"

"Brother Mingjing, are you here? You are really free today!" Bei Gongzhen walked from the room to the door at once, holding the door with both hands and poking her head out. Apart from Li Mingjing, Xiling Yan also came.

Looking at the two of them, Gu Xiangsi smiled and teased, "Hey! You two came together again? They are inseparable!"

"Sister Wangfei, you are inseparable in Xihe Kingdom, doesn't it mean that men and women are extremely close? But brother Mingjing and Prince Zhen...are they both men?" Bei Gongzhen still has a lot of knowledge about the culture of Xihe Kingdom. I don't quite understand, I frowned and looked at Gu Xiangsi, then at Li Mingjing and Xiling Yan, I don't quite understand how they can be inseparable with each other?
Li Mingjing's face darkened, Xiling Yan smiled.

Gu Xiangsi really didn't know how to explain to this silly girl.

Indeed, the culture of Xihe Kingdom is biased towards the ancient culture of the Central Plains that she knows. This word and idiom have multiple meanings.

Of course, a word can have several pronunciations.

Therefore, it is human nature for Bei Gongzhen not to understand these details.

Bei Gongzhen saw that everyone was silent, and she couldn't figure it out, so she walked over and naturally took Li Mingjing's arm, raised her head and smiled coquettishly at him: "I want to eat all kinds of cakes in Ronghua Building, Ming Brother Jing, can you accompany me? I forgot to bring money to go out."

Although Li Mingjing nodded his head at this, he was still thinking, does he look like a money bag?Why do they all like to ask him to pay the bill?
Gu Xiangsi and Bei Gongzhen waved goodbye to each other, and after they left arm in arm, she pulled Xiling Yan into the room, closed the door, sat down, and asked him: "Is that Lan Jue from Nanyan Kingdom a What kind of person? I always feel that this person looks a little unpleasant."

"Lan Jue? Did you meet his eyes?" Xiling Yan knew that the delegation from Nanyan Kingdom would pass by Baiweiju today, so he and Li Mingjing came to Baiweiju in a hurry, because they were afraid that the two of them would see Lan Jue. Eyes, so something happened.

Gu Xiangsi didn't quite understand why he was so nervous, so she just frowned and nodded and said, "I met his eyes. For the first time, he raised his hand to hold the curtain, turned his head to look outside, and my eyes unexpectedly met his. In the middle of the sky, we looked at each other, and immediately looked away from each other. The second time, when their carriage passed by the door of Baiweiju, he deliberately looked at the second floor. I looked at each other for a long time, and felt that although his eyes were very beautiful , but it always makes people feel... a bit evil."

Seeing that she was fine, Xiling Yan held her hand and said softly to her, "Lan Jue's reputation in Nanyan Kingdom is not bad these years. The last time I went to Xihe Kingdom as an envoy, she was always very quiet. But he is the king of the witch clan after all, so he must have practiced some strange magic. Therefore, his eyes have a strange charm. Many people may fall in love with him if they look at him for a long time. The owner of these eyes is even obsessed. Because of this, Lan Jue seldom looks at people directly, not because he is arrogant and rude, but because he doesn’t want people to stare into his eyes. Moreover, he He has a hobby, he likes beautiful things, but hates all dirty and ugly things."

"Hehe, it's the clean eyes?" Gu Xiangsi really didn't like this Lan Jue, even though he might not be a bad person, but he has evil spirits in him!The ghost knows what kind of evil skills he has practiced?Who dares to say that his heart has not been blackened by evil deeds?

Xi Lingyan held her hand, kissed her soft fingertips, looked at her and said with a smile: "You don't have to regard Lan Jue as a scourge, he is very quiet and responsible, and usually rarely leaves Honglu Temple, probably Is it because I am afraid that I will be bumped into by someone when I go out on the street? Anyway, Lan Jue doesn't like contact with people very much, and always keeps a distance from people."

"No, today, I saw him sharing a car with a woman!" When Gu Xiangsi was talking, she was still squinting at him. If Lan Jue wasn't so dangerous, he wouldn't be in a hurry with Li Mingjing. Roaring came.

If she pretends, she will see how long he can pretend.
