Chapter 524: Marry Me
The glass bead lamps used in yesterday's moon worship ceremony had already caused quite a stir in the capital.
But it is simply beautiful, rare and precious.
Today, dozens of poems have been written, which have given these colored glasses elegance and poetic flavor.
Many talented men and beautiful women yearned for it and said they wanted to go to "Jingming Tower" together.
Someone nearby reminded me, "It's too late to go now. There are more customers than goods in Jingminglou today. Everything will be sold out before noon."
"Ah... then we can't buy anything?"
"Brother, there's no chance of even seeing it."
Just as everyone was lamenting, another servant ran in holding a scroll.
As he ran, he shouted excitedly: "Good news, Master Wu Yunzi has published a new work."
This news instantly caused an uproar in the poetry club.
Master Wu Yunzi hasn't released any new work for a year.
Now that a new painting has suddenly come out, everyone is flocking to it.
Under everyone's urging, the servant hung the painting on the easel neatly.
Untie the rope, and the new painting unfolds in a flash.
The scroll unfolds.
This is a huge picture.
The figures and landscapes in the painting seem to be one-to-one replicas.
An old woman bowed devoutly in front of the Guanyin statue.
It was as if the scene was right in front of me.
The statue of Guanyin is almost transparent, looking down at the people who are bowing with a compassionate expression, as if she has compassion for all the suffering people.
It is obviously a simple painting, but it reveals the divinity of compassion for the world.
For a while.
Everyone was captivated by the painting.
It took a long time for him to withdraw his mind from the painting.
Someone exclaimed: "The Bodhisattva in the painting looks just like the glass Guanyin statue in 'Jingming Tower'."
"Yes! I went to the third floor last night and took a look. It was indeed this glass Guanyin statue.
The one who bows down..."
If Wen Yan were here, he would recognize at a glance that the person kneeling was Concubine Dowager Gong.
For a moment, everyone was only concerned with admiring the beauty of the Glazed Guanyin, the exquisiteness of the painting, and Wu Yunzi's breakthrough.
At the same time, they became more and more curious about the goods in "Jingminglou".
Even the statue of Guanyin can be so exquisite, I wonder how beautiful other objects will be.
Many people sighed and lamented that they did not go to Jingming Tower to join in the fun last night and this morning. That way they could have seen the Glazed Guanyin with their own eyes, which would have been even more eye-opening.
It's not far from here.
A fat man wearing a veil covered his mouth with his hand, yawned loudly, and said to the people around him, "Ying Zhilin, can you let me go back and rest now?"
The fat man was none other than Wu Yunzi, the central figure in the discussion.
"Your paintings are very good." Ying Zhilin flattered Wu Yunzi, "I was right to ask you to paint for me."
Wu Yunzi rolled his eyes and pointed at his dark circles, saying, "I stayed up all night and drank three pots of strong tea. If the makeup is not good enough, it will be unfair to my dark circles.
What's the difference between me and an iron-eating beast now? "
Ying Zhilin raised an eyebrow at him: "Master told me to make any request."
"You, huh!" Wu Yunzi felt that he had been fooled.
Ying Zhilin took out a box from behind and handed it to him: "Here, this is Yanyan's new paint color."
Wu Yunzi looked at the box of paint, not knowing for a long time whether he should reach out to take it.
This was the verbal agreement he made with Wen Yan last year. Whenever she released a new color of paint, she would give him a copy first.
Ever since returning from Jinyang Prefecture, Wu Yunzi was afraid of Wen Yan's murder and almost stopped associating with him.
Although there is no communication.
But Wen Yan still kept her promise and kept sending him new colors.
Wu Yunzi felt mixed emotions.
Ying Zhilin stuffed the paint into his hands and said, "'Jingminglou' is not Yanyan's property, but the one above."
"You mean the emperor..." Wu Yunzi stared at Ying Zhilin with wide eyes.
Ying Zhilin continued, "Drought is spreading across the north this year, and the national treasury is running out of money."
"So, selling the colored glass is to raise funds for disaster relief?"
Ying Zhilin nodded.
Wu Yunzi said: "Wen Yan...she is really a contradiction."
"If we must judge others' goodness or evil by the amount of people they kill, can the number of victims Wen Yan saved be worth the number of people she killed?
Is she kind after all?
Or is it considered evil?"
Ying Zhilin doesn't care about the opinions of outsiders, but Wu Yunzi was once regarded as a friend by Wen Yan.
At least, he can't keep misunderstanding Wen Yan.
"The world is not black and white. Even if it's you, because of one of your paintings, how many bloody incidents have been caused in private? Are you really innocent?" He patted Wu Yunzi's shoulder, turned around and left.
Wu Yunzi looked at Ying Zhilin's back as he left.
Suddenly he chuckled: How much does he love her to protect Wen Yan to this extent!
Suddenly, someone in the poetry club shouted, "Everyone, be quiet. Listen, what's that noise outside?"
Everyone listened attentively.
Then I heard shouting from outside.
"Get out of the way! We are escorting the glazed Guanyin statue purchased by Princess Jinghe. It's not only very expensive, but it's also the only one of its kind in the world."
"If you don't have eyes and bump into our escort team, causing the Guanyin statue to bump into things, even if you take off your heads it won't be enough to compensate you."
At this time, a member of the poetry club ran in and reported, "It was Jingminglou who sent the Glazed Guanyin to the princess. Jingminglou is very respectful of this. Six guards led the way, and some even beat gongs and drums to warn people."
"You mean, the Liuli Guanyin statue was bought by the eldest princess?"
"Yes, I heard that the eldest princess bought it to be presented as a gift for the Queen Mother's birthday."
"Is that Glazed Guanyin really that good? I want to go and join in the fun, maybe I can have a chance to see the real Glazed Guanyin."
“I wonder if the real me is as compassionate as the one in the master’s painting.”
Then he chased after him.
Seeing this, the others followed him out.
Soon, they followed the rest of the people who came to join in the fun and fell behind the delivery team.
at this time.
A luxurious carriage gradually caught up with the team.
The carriage door opened, and a young boy as handsome as jade came out.
The young man saw Meng Chifei, who was walking in front of the team, and waved at her: "Sister Chifei..."
He also jumped off the carriage and ran to Meng Chifei.
The person who came was none other than King Thailand's Sun Jirong.
After not seeing him for a while, he had changed a lot. He had grown a lot taller and was now as tall as Wen Yan's chin.
After greeting Wen Yan, he went to hold Meng Chifei's hand.
"Ji Rong, why are you here?" Meng Chifei was a little surprised to see him and reached out to rub his head.
Ji Rong's voice was no longer as babyish as before.
Instead, there is a feeling of pretending to be an adult.
Ji Rong's hand pulled empty air.
He pouted a little angrily and turned his head to avoid her caressing hand: "Humph! I'm already a ten-year-old boy, don't touch my head casually."
Meng Chifei suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, I won't touch you, I won't touch you. Now you can tell me why you came to see me!"
Ji Rong said, "I heard that the emperor has engaged Brother Xi Yan. When will you get married?"
Meng Chifei bent his fingers and tapped him on the head: "Little thing, when did you start meddling in my affairs?
Go find your friends. I have things to do and don't have time to play with you right now."
Ji Rong ran up to her and opened his arms to block her way: "Brother Xi Yan is getting married, and you will be the oldest unmarried woman in the capital. They will definitely talk behind your back.
Uncle Meng and Aunt Bai also urge marriage.
I like playing with you, why don't you marry me."
