"Why?" After hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Yanjun couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Your Highness, Princess, it's better not to inquire about these matters!" Lu Chen looked at Li Yanjun and waved his hand directly. It wasn't that Lu Chen didn't want to tell Li Yanjun, but that Lu Chen felt that it was enough for him to do some things by himself. I don't want Li Yanjun to lose his current innocence.
Of course, Lu Chen also knew that this kind of innocence would gradually disappear as people grow older and gain more experience, but Lu Chen wanted to prolong Li Yanjun's innocence. He didn't want Li Yanjun to be exposed to those intrigues and intrigues prematurely. .
"Is there something that I cannot let you know?" Li Yanjunpu opened his eyes and looked at Lu Chen, "You have stolen a lot of money from those aristocratic families in this auction. Do you think I don't know about it?" ?" Li Yanjun tilted his head to look at Lu Chen and smiled, as if he was a little fox who had stolen a chicken.
"Well! Your Highness can see this, it's really amazing!" Lu Chen gave Li Yanjun a thumbs up and said dotingly.
Liu Jing and Chun'e, who were following the two of them, couldn't help but roll their eyes. One was obviously complaining about his father-in-law, and the other was obviously complaining about his princess. The two people were looking at each other with eyes that were almost wired, except for Lu Chen. The use of the Liuliceng family's money will be known to everyone in a while. Besides, Li Yanjun already knew that the mastermind behind this was Lu Chen. If he couldn't guess Lu Chen's purpose, then this The princess is a fool!
As for the current behavior of Lu Chen and Li Yanjun, in the eyes of these two personal followers, it is a typical "love makes people blind"!
"This painting is quite interesting!" At this moment, Lu Chen stood in front of the calligraphy and painting stall, looking at the calligraphy and painting in front of him, and said with a smile.
"Who did this painting come from?" Lu Chen picked up a painting with a cockfighting scene and looked at the stall owner and asked.
"Ah? This gentleman is very discerning. This "Cockfighting Picture" was painted by Shang Yi Fengyu Yan Rang!" The stall owner was a middle-aged man about forty years old. He introduced it to Lu Chen with a smile. road.
"Yan Rang?!" Lu Chen thought for a while and couldn't figure out who Yan Rang was, but looking at the painting, he did have extraordinary skills.
"Let me know this Yan!" Just when Lu Chen was wondering, Li Yanjun said at the side.
"Oh? Your Highness knows who Yan Rang is?" Lu Chen looked at Li Yanjun in surprise.
"Yan Rang, whose courtesy name is Lide, is now working for his second brother. He is said to be very talented!" Li Yanjun whispered in Lu Chen's ear and introduced him.
"Yan Lide!" Hearing the name Li Yanjun said, Lu Chen immediately thought of who this person was. Yan Lide was none other than the brother of Yan Liben, a famous painter of the Tang Dynasty. And the most powerful thing about this person is that It was he who created six types of clothes, gowns, and sedan chairs worn by emperors and princes, all of which were elegant and in compliance with etiquette. Lu Chen's current county uniforms were designed by Yan Lide.
The brothers Yan Lide and Yan Liben were both extremely talented and beautiful people. Yan Lide created the clothes and sedans for emperors and princes, and his younger brother Yan Liben even painted "The Twenty-Four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion". Picture" and other ancient works.
Moreover, Yan Lide is as good at painting as his younger brother. However, although Yan Liben's paintings cover a wide range of subjects, he is famous for portraits, while Yan Lide's paintings cover a wider range of subjects. Yan Lide is even more capable than his younger brother, because his younger brother is famous for Yan Lide is not only good at painting, he is also a great talent in architecture.
You must know that Li Yuan's Xianling Mausoleum, Li Shimin's Zhaoling Mausoleum, and the two palaces Cuiwei Palace and Yuhua Palace were also designed and built by Yan Lide. Even the outer walls and towers of Chang'an City were all designed by Yan Lide. , but unfortunately, no Yan Lide paintings have been handed down to later generations.
Now that he saw this "Cockfighting Picture", Lu Chen's heart moved slightly. It was not because of this painting, but because of the person Yan Lide who moved Lu Chen's heart. He was a master of architecture. If this happened to Lujiazhuang , build yourself a house, wouldn’t you be able to free up your hands to do other things?
Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but his eyes lit up while looking at "Cockfight Picture", he touched the beard on his chin, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Do you like this painting?" Seeing Lu Chen's appearance, Li Yanjun couldn't help but ask, and then waved to Chun'e, indicating that Chun'e would buy the painting directly.
Li Yanjun looked at Lu Chen's smile and thought that Lu Chen liked the painting. However, Lu Chen's smile was obviously not the same in the eyes of others. Lu Chen's smile felt a little scary in the hearts of these people. For For Liu Jing, who knew Lu Chen well, every time his father-in-law showed this smile, it was probably when someone was going to be in trouble.
With Li Yanjun's instruction, Chun'e naturally inquired about the price of the painting with the stall owner. The two bargained for a while and finally bought the "Cockfighting Picture" for 100 yuan.
"Huh?" When he saw the stall owner packing "Cockfighting Picture", Lu Chen woke up from his meditation. Seeing the stall owner packing "Cockfighting Picture", he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Why package it?" Lu Chen Chen asked looking at the stall owner.
"This painting has been bought by the young man next to you!" The stall owner said to Lu Chen with an apologetic smile, while he continued to package the "Cockfighting Picture" skillfully.
"Why did you buy it?" Lu Chen turned to look at Li Yanjun in confusion, and unknowingly, he had removed the word "Your Highness".
"Don't you like it? Then buy it!" Li Yanjun also unknowingly changed his name to Lu Chen. At the same time, he looked at Lu Chen with some confusion. He didn't know why Lu Chen asked this, and even Somewhat aggrieved.
"Oh! I like it very much, but you don't necessarily need to buy everything you like!" Lu Chen knew that Li Yanjun had misunderstood him again, and Lu Chen also knew that the reason why Li Yanjun misunderstood that he liked this painting was probably because I stood in front of this painting and thought deeply, so I smiled and said.
"Since you like it and this painting is not expensive, then buy it!" Li Yanjun said as if he was coquettish, which made Lu Chen's bones go numb. Obviously, Li Yanjun did not hear the meaning in Lu Chen's words. .
"Okay! Okay! Just buy it if you want!" Lu Chen couldn't bear to brush off Li Yanjun's kindness. What's more, Li Yanjun's coquettish words directly made Lu Chen's heart skip a few beats, and he could only nod his head in response. road.
At this time, the stall owner had packed up the "Cockfighting Picture" and presented it to Lu Chen with both hands. Liu Jing on the side quickly reached out to take it and held it in his arms.
"Is there anything you like?" Lu Chen looked at Li Yanjun and asked.
Li Yanjun shook his head, and Lu Chen said, "Okay, let's go shopping elsewhere!" Lu Chen also noticed that Li Yanjun didn't seem to be that interested in the calligraphy and painting, so he doted on him naturally. Smiling at Li Yanjun, the two left the calligraphy and painting stall.
"Tsk, tsk! I really don't understand this literati's hobby!" Seeing Lu Chen and Li Yanjun leaving side by side, as well as the conversation and looks between the two just now, the stall owner who made the business couldn't help but complain.
Lu Chen and Li Yanjun had just left a few steps when they heard the calligraphy and painting stall owner complaining. Lu Chen couldn't help but staggered. It was obvious that the calligraphy and painting stall owner had misunderstood something, but Li Yanjun It seems that he didn't hear the stall owner's complaints, but he was a little moved when he saw a rouge shop in front of him.
"Um, how much did this painting cost?" In order to relieve the embarrassment, Lu Chen turned to Chun'e and asked.
"One hundred dollars!" Chun'e said with an indifferent look. For her and Li Yanjun, who were good at the harem, they obviously had no idea about money.
"Oh! This profiteer!" When they heard that these two girls actually spent a hundred dollars to buy the "Cockfighting Picture", they immediately yelled in pain, "A hundred dollars! This painting is only thirty dollars at most." Money, such a loss! Such a loss!"
"Why didn't you stop her when she spent a hundred dollars to buy it?" Lu Chen turned to Liu Jing and asked.
"My lord, it's not that I didn't want to stop you, but before I could stop you, the deal was already completed. I paid the money and delivered the goods..." Liu Jing, who was questioned by Lu Chen, looked at Chun'e helplessly. Apparently some complained that Chun'e paid the money too quickly.
And Chun'e obviously didn't understand why Lu Chen was making such a fuss over a hundred dollars. In this auction, the father-in-law could earn at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars. How could he still make such a fuss about a mere hundred dollars? Little scream!
"Forget it! Forget it!" Lu Chen also noticed that Li Yanjun looked a little aggrieved at this time, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, as for the common sense about money, Lu Chen felt that it was necessary to educate the master and servant about it later. .
"Master, this is a rouge shop. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for us to go in, right?" Looking at the plaque of the rouge shop, Liu Jing tugged on the lapel of Lu Chen, who was about to accompany Li Yanjun to step inside, and reminded him in a low voice.
"What's wrong with the rouge shop?" Lu Chen turned his head and glanced at Liu Jing. In later generations, not to mention men wearing makeup, there are also people who go abroad for surgery. It's not like Lu Chen has never seen it before. Lu Chen looked at Liu Jing and said These words were somewhat saying that Liu Jing was making a fuss.
"Those are where women go in..." Liu Jing pointed to the rouge shop and saw many women coming in and out. They were looking at Lu Chen and Li Yanjun standing at the door of the rouge shop with strange eyes. Li Yanjun also realized at this time that he was a woman disguised as a man, so he was about to turn around and leave.
"You're here! Let's go in and have a look!" Seeing Li Yanjun turning around to leave, Lu Chen directly stretched out his hand to grab Li Yanjun and said with a smile, and Lu Chen himself also had no idea what was going on in this Tang Dynasty rouge shop. So, I feel quite curious.
