After the emperor went to court on the second day, he came to Ruyi Pavilion after approving the memorial and asked Su Yi to draw a single for him first, and then asked the queen to come over and draw a double for them.
It took a total of two days to complete the two portraits of the emperor.
The emperor was very satisfied after seeing it and basically copied his appearance one to one.
Even the beard is clearly defined.
The queen was also extremely satisfied. She was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, which conveyed the aura of a mother nurturing the world.
After the emperor and queen saw it, they each handed down their rewards.
Since the integration of the Yuyantang industry chain, the national treasury has become full in just two months, and the expenses of the harem have gradually recovered.
Therefore, ladies have become generous in giving rewards.
Looking at the pieces of silk and satin cloth, Su Yi decided to give the tender ones to Su Wan and the more mature ones to her mother.
In the next few days, I will paint pictures for all the ladies, starting from Concubine Chen and going down in order. It takes a day to paint each queen.
Moreover, some queens have a lot of requests, such as making their faces smaller, their eyes bigger, and thinner.
Su Yi tried his best to meet their needs without going too far.
Su Yiren hasn't come back yet, and the gold-plated plaque customized in the palace has been sent to the Su Mansion.
The four characters "Wu Yang Jushi" were inscribed by the Holy One himself.
When it was delivered, the Su family came out to pick it up, then sent the plaque to the yard where Su Yi lived, and helped him hang it in the center of the study.
The study room in Su Yi's yard is the room where he usually paints. It is full of scrolls, paints, and various brushes of different thicknesses.
Inside a large blue and white porcelain vat were all Su Yi's recent paintings that he was not satisfied with.
Mother Su almost smiled crookedly when she looked at the plaque of Wuyang layman.
"Oh, my youngest son is really amazing. He has become a great scholar."
She clasped her hands together and looked up with a happy face.
Su Wan looked at her mother's little appearance and found it funny, but she was also very happy, feeling happy for her fifth brother.
"Mom, you are partial. Su Yi and I were born on the same day, so I am considered your youngest son. Why don't you praise me so much?"
Hearing this, Mother Su looked at the little boy next to her and pointed at his head:
"Growing up, you didn't have as much peace of mind as your brother. Think about it for yourself, who got beaten the most when you were a child? Besides, you were born two-quarters of an hour earlier than A Yi, so you are older than him, and you are more beautiful."
Su's mother said she disliked him, but in fact she didn't dislike him in her heart. Su Yun couldn't give sunshine to someone like him, but he would shine brightly when sunshine was given to him.
Well, Su Yun figured it out, he was at the bottom of the family's food chain, right?
"Mom, the fourth brother is also very good. He has taken care of Chenglou so well. It hasn't opened yet, but many people have already asked about it. When Chenglou opens, you can imagine how popular it will be."
Su Yun's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that at the critical moment, it would be Su Wan who spoke for him.
She really made Su Yun cry to death.
"Wan Na, it's better for you, I'm not hurting you in vain!"
Su Wan just felt that the fourth brother looked really pitiful and was always disliked by his mother, even though he was just verbally disliked.
"You guys, especially your third brother, you're so old and you still don't want to start a family, so you just hang out with the men in his city defense camp every day. How can any girl fall in love with him?
Qingli, you will also be in Kyoto tomorrow to help your third brother pay attention. If there is a young lady of the right age, arrange it for your third brother. Our family does not pay much attention to family status. The main thing is good character and a good heart. "
Now, the eldest child has finished worrying about the second child, and starts to worry about the third child, and then the fourth and fifth children. It is simply endless.
"Okay mother, I will pay more attention to it. The third brother is kind-hearted and gentle. He is also handsome and upright. He is also a general who has served on the battlefield. There are many girls who want to marry him, but it depends on him. Just like it.”
Shen Qingli agreed immediately. She knew that the third child was easy to find a wife, but she was just afraid that he would not be happy with it.
When Su Wan heard this, she didn't stop him. Although she could tell that Jiajia was interested in the third brother, the third brother was obviously not yet emotionally enlightened, so the matter couldn't be rushed.
Jiajia's identity is relatively sensitive. If given the chance, she would rather the third brother interact with a few more girls to know what she wants.
After a while, she had to go out and made an appointment with Qiuniang. They had not seen each other for half a year. When she arrived in Kyoto, Qiuniang also brought the workshop to Kyoto.
The main thing is a companionship.
"A Chen is a really honest kid. He has been honest since he was a child. He does all the big and small jobs at home without complaining. I know he is obedient, but this emotional matter is a lifelong matter. I I don’t want him to give in, so let him choose what he wants, and I’ll accept it no matter what.”
Mother Su was helped out by Shen Qingli and Su Wan. When they arrived in the back garden, Nanny Lin, whom Shen Qingli brought from the Shen family, walked towards her.
"Old madam, eldest madam, the third young master is back and has brought a girl back with him. He is looking for you everywhere."
Hearing that the third brother had brought a girl back, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and aunt were all stunned.
"Ah? My son is enlightened and knows how to bring the girl back?" The old mother was quite happy after hearing this.
But Nanny Lin was in trouble, she said:
"Old madam, this old slave doesn't look like a serious girl. Her clothes are ragged. Judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to be a girl from our Jin country, but rather an outsider."
"External woman? What do you mean?"
When Su's mother heard the word "external", she naturally thought of the ferocious external enemies who were fighting with them and did all kinds of evil.
In an instant, all the good feelings were gone.
Shen Qingli was still calm:
"Come on, let's go take a look. Third brother is not a reckless person. There is always a reason."
Su Wan listened to Nanny Lin's description and immediately knew who it was, probably Mimi.
Some time ago, foreign prisoners of war were beheaded at the Meridian Gate, and the head of the leader of the Wuya tribe was hung on the city gate for seven days and seven nights.
Mimi also came back with the prisoners of war, but she saved her third brother, so she had merit in the battle. The merits and demerits were equal to each other, and there was no danger to her life. However, the verdict should not be much better. After all, she was an outsider and a member of the royal family.
The three of them arrived at the front hall. Su Chen was sitting there. There was a girl standing in the hall. From the back, she was thin and dressed in ragged clothes. She was taller than Su Wan and Shen Qingli. Her hair was vaguely curly. curvy.
She was standing there tremblingly at the moment, like a frightened deer, her eyes looking around helplessly and warily.
She looked at Su Chen, but Su Chen just sat there calmly, waiting quietly, without even looking at her.
"Third brother, I heard that you are looking for us?" Shen Qingli helped Su's mother in and asked with a smile, looking at the girl with a vague look in her eyes.
When passing by her, Su's mother took a closer look and saw that she indeed looked like an outsider, and she was also very beautiful.
