After Shen Lingxiang left, the study became quiet again. Luo Junyao slowly walked out of the room and said, "My cousin seems not to be very happy."
Luo Jinyan looked up at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sympathizing with her?"
Luo Jun shook his head and smiled and said, "Of course not, I just... don't quite understand. My eldest brother seems to value my cousin very much." If he didn't value her, he wouldn't have spent so much thought on her.
Luo Jinyan said: "Do you think she is not worthy of my spending so much time?"
Luo Junyao sat down next to him and nodded: "After Xie Chengyou was driven back to Prince Mu's Mansion, there seems to be no special value around her. Now that she is bound to Xie Chengyou, can she have any special use?"
Luo Jinyan leaned back on his chair and smiled lightly, shaking his head and saying, "She is valuable in Prince Mu's Mansion."
"Um?"
Luo Jinyan said: "Shake, sometimes an idle piece may be of unexpected use. But these need to be planned in advance, and you can't wait until you need it to find available chess pieces. Moreover, I always feel that Prince Mu's Mansion It's interesting, it wouldn't hurt to put a chess piece there."
Seeing that Luo Junyao was a little confused, Luo Jinyan said: "After all, King Mu and Princess Mu are Xie Yan's biological parents. Don't you think the relationship between this family is strange? What's even more strange is that I can't find out how Princess Mu married. Even my father doesn't know about King Mu. In addition, Princess Mu and Bai Jingrong are both called the twin sisters of Dongling, so she must know Bai Jingrong."
Luo Junyao said: "Although I have never met Princess Mu nor Bai Jingrong, they give me the feeling that they are two extremes."
If Bai Jingrong is an ambitious and seductive rose with thorns, then Prince Mu is a weak and unclothed dodder flower.
but…
A title like the Dongling Shuangshu is different from the most beautiful woman in Shangyong or the most talented woman in the capital.
Why can a woman like Bai Jingrong be regarded as a dodder flower with nothing but beauty?
So how beautiful is this flower?
And this dodder flower actually gave birth to a son like Xie Yan, which is incredible.
Luo Jinyan nodded and said: "They are indeed two extremes. There are very few people who know those old things, and even if they know most of them, they are unwilling to speak out."
Luo Jun shook his shoulders and said, "Okay, cousin, the eldest brother can do whatever he wants. As for Princess Mu... I think I should have many opportunities to deal with them in the future, and maybe there will be some news by then."
Luo Jinyan said: "You don't have to worry about those people in Prince Mu's Mansion, they can't make any big waves. I'm paying attention to Prince Mu's Mansion, not because I'm worried about them."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "I know that the eldest brother is suspicious of the Qi people... No, it is Bai Jingrong who will make a fuss about Prince Mu's house."
Luo Jinyan smiled and said: "Shao Yao is so smart."
"I don't dare to compete with my eldest brother. I made an appointment with Sister Su and the others to go to Pinyiju for tea, so we're leaving first."
"Miss Su family?" Luo Jinyan raised an eyebrow.
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Yes, Sister Su Rui from Taifu Su's family, and Hongxiu Minmin and the others. What's wrong?"
Luo Jinyan shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that Taifu Su's granddaughter would join you in mischief."
Luo Jun said: "We are not messing around."
Luo Jinyan patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not nonsense, go quickly, don't make people wait for a long time."
Luo Junyao was originally delayed by the sudden arrival of Shen Lingxiang, and now he was in a hurry to leave. He stopped lingering, said goodbye to Luo Jinyan, and ran out in a hurry.
Seeing her figure announcing the news at the door, Luo Jinyan shook his head helplessly, lowered his head and took a file and continued to read.
When Luo Junyao came to Pinyiju, everyone except Xu Hui and Liang Shufeng arrived.
"Aren't Huihui and Shufeng coming?"
Song Quan lazily leaned against the window and said, "They both have something to do today and can't come."
Luo Jun shook his head and looked at Su Rui, who was sitting at the table drawing with Zhao Sisi and Qin Ning.
Qin Ning rushed over holding a booklet, "Shake, look!"
Luo Junyao knew that this was a portrait drawn by Su Rui, but he was a little surprised, "Sister Su Rui is so fast."
Su Rui raised her head and looked at her with a smile and said, "I know almost all of these people. Even if I'm not familiar with them, I've at least met them a few times. It's natural to draw them easily. Take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be changed."
Luo Junyao opened the album and couldn't help but exclaimed.
The picture on the first page of the album is of Xie Yan.
Su Rui's painting work is very meticulous, not only the small portrait, but also a full-length silhouette of Xie Yan wearing black court clothes.
Although it was only a silhouette, the naturally intimidating aura on his body was clearly visible. As for the frontal portrait, it made people unable to help but hold their breath.
Xiao Xiang used gongbi painting, which is more realistic than the ancient painting techniques in Luo Junyao's impression. But it is different from sketches or oil paintings. It appears more delicate and seems to be more in line with the character's temperament.
"Doesn't it look good?" Qin Ning said proudly.
"It looks good." Luo Junyao said softly, and then flipped through the pages. As expected, every picture was drawn with a realistic figure and a realistic figure.
"Sister Su is so amazing, we were all stunned just now." Qin Ning said.
Su Rui finished the last stroke, put the pen in her hand on the pen holder, turned her head and said with a smile: "Funny."
Song Yan smiled and said: "Why do I feel that Miss Su's painting style... seems a bit familiar?"
Su Rui said: "The gentleman who taught me painting has many disciples, and it's not a special technique. Maybe Miss Song has seen it somewhere else?"
Song Huan thought about it carefully and felt that what Su Rui said was not impossible. He nodded and said, "That's right."
Luo Junyao carefully closed the album and said, "Sister Su Rui's paintings are very satisfactory to us, and the layout is just right. Then... the next step is for us to send it to be printed, and then we can sell it in bookstores."
Su Rui not only drew small frontal portraits, but also paired each page with a full-length portrait, some holding a sword or a fan, some gentle and elegant, or carefree and wild. Even if you don't look at the detailed appearance, you can immediately think of the usual postures of these people.
Sister Su Rui is simply a fairy!
Song Quan smiled and said: "That's right, but... I think it's so quiet that I'm afraid I won't be able to sell a few copies. Why don't we wait until the picture album comes out, and let's give some to the heads of families in the capital and the popular ladies first. "
Zhao Sisi was a little skeptical, "Is it really okay to give them something like this?"
Shen Hongxiu said: "What's the problem? We are giving away a serious picture album, not anything else. Maybe there are many people who are counting on him to choose a son-in-law."
Qin Ning couldn't help but smile and said: "That's true. Except for my uncle, most of the people here are still single, right?"
Everyone looked through it carefully and couldn't help laughing, it was really true.
Shen Hongxiu hesitated, "Why do I think it would be better to kick out His Royal Highness the Regent? They are all unmarried. It can be used as a reference for families in the capital who need to choose a son-in-law."
Luo Junyao resolutely defended the right to use the portrait of His Royal Highness the Regent, which he had finally obtained, "No, since it is a portrait album of beautiful men, it is natural to select the most fair and just candidate. As for the unmarried ones, there is a need to go back and make up for it... The album of single men is not Is that okay?”
Everyone thought for a while and felt that what Luo Junyao said made sense.
You can't just sell a picture album for a lifetime. Naturally, you have to change it frequently.
After chatting about the business, everyone put away the picture album with satisfaction and called the waiter to order some snacks and drink tea and chat.
A group of girls of similar age chatted, ate and drank, and most of the afternoon passed quickly.
Seeing that it was getting late, a few people got up and prepared to leave.
Luo Junyao held the picture album and waited for Su Rui, Song Huan and Shen Hongxiu to pack their things, then followed Zhao Sisi and Qin Ning downstairs first.
Luo Junyao watched Su Rui packing her things slowly, and felt that there was a different kind of elegance in every move she made.
The Grand Tutor's granddaughter is just different from martial arts practitioners like them.
Luo Junyao admired it and admired it in his heart.
Su Rui noticed her gaze, looked up and smiled at her, "What's wrong?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just think Sister Su is so awesome."
Su Rui smiled and said: "You are also very powerful. You can actually persuade all the girls in the martial arts academy to join you. It seems that you are very popular during this period."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Everyone is free and just having fun. Even if you don't do well, there is no loss."
Su Rui shook her head and said, "But no one thought of doing it before."
Luo Jun shook his eyes and said, "Maybe it's because... I'm bored?"
Su Rui smiled and said: "Should Yao Yao just want to print a few picture albums for fun, right?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "That's it now."
Su Rui didn't ask further questions and nodded: "If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. Just pay."
Luo Junyao was a little curious, "Sister Su, why are you helping us? You...should not be short of this little money."
Although Sister Su looked very pretty when discussing how to divide the money with her seriously, Luo Junyao always felt that the eldest girl of the Su family was not the one who was short of such money.
Su Rui said matter-of-factly: "I make money based on my skills, what's the problem? As for why I'm helping you... I'm probably bored too."
Luo Junyao looked at her a little depressed, not believing her perfunctory reason at all.
Su Rui smiled and said: "One day you tell me what you want to do, and I will tell you why I help you."
Luo Junyao could only nod his head and said: "Okay then, it's settled?"
"It's a deal."
After the two of them left the wing room before going downstairs, they heard a burst of noise coming from downstairs, which was also accompanied by a woman's exclamation.
The two looked at each other, and Luo Junyao walked towards the stairs first.
"Sister Su, you walk behind me." Luo Junyao said.
Su Rui also knew that Luo Junyao was good at it, so she nodded and said, "Give me the album."
Luo Junyao handed the album in his hand to Su Rui, and then the two of them walked to the stairs one after another.
