Beginning to become the second ancestor

Chapter 120 Chapter 118
In the next few days, Lin Yuanxuan did not go out again, and spent most of his time studying at home with peace of mind.

The difficulty of the general examination is different from that of the autumn examination, and the examination questions involved are also more extensive, so sufficient preparation is required.

The work of Fanghua Building was completely handed over to Zheng Naner and Xue Xia, and Li Li devoted himself to it. He invited many craftsmen from outside to carry out decoration work.

There is no idle time in Zhuangzi, almost everyone is busy.

The contract with the Lu family has already been established, and 15 taels of silver have been collected directly, and the first batch of goods has also been sent out, with 20 taels of silver back and forth.

The autumn rain is fading away, and the sunshine has improved recently, but the weather is getting colder and colder.

Lin Yuanxuan stood in the courtyard, Wang Dong walked over from the side, and said softly: "Master, there are people coming from the palace."

"In the palace? Please." Lin Yuanxuan raised his voice.

In the front hall, when Lin Yuanxuan walked in, Eunuch Li greeted him, saluted and said, "Mr. Lin, Princess Yuhan asked our family to send something over."

After speaking, he handed over a scroll.

Lin Yuanxuan took it and unfolded it smoothly.

"Yuanxuan Grocery Store", there are five big characters like this in the scroll, and there is an inscription below it, with only one word: Hao.

After that came the emperor's private seal, Lin Yuanxuan was overjoyed: "Thank you, Eunuch Li!"

Eunuch Li said in a low voice: "Mr. Lin, you are welcome. You have helped our family so much. My nephew is now a rank-[-] Xiaoqiwei. This kind of favor has to be repaid slowly."

Lin Yuanxuan shook his head and said: "Eunuch Li is being polite, I wonder how your majesty feels when writing?"

"Your Majesty didn't want to write this picture at first, but Princess Yuhan said that she got a shop from the young master, so she had to pay back some favors.

Two days later, His Majesty agreed, but His Majesty also said that one shop was not enough, so he asked the young master to draw a picture and send it to the palace. "

Eunuch Li smiled and said, Lin Yuanxuan was taken aback, and then said softly: "I don't know what painting Your Majesty wants?"

"Your Majesty said, since you can write a poem about Yanqiu, you should draw a picture of a snow scene." Eunuch Li whispered.

Lin Yuanxuan thought for a while and said, "In a few days, I will send the painting to the palace after I finish it."

Eunuch Li fumbled in his bosom, took out a sign, handed it to Lin Yuanxuan and said: "Your Majesty said, if you finish the drawing, you can go directly to the palace.

This plate is the identity card of the Habayashi Army in front of the palace, and you can use it to enter the palace. When the time comes, the young master will go to the respect room to find our family, and our family will take the young master to find your majesty. "

Lin Yuanxuan nodded, took out a bank note, and was about to hand it to Eunuch Li, when he said with a straight face: "My lord, are you looking down on our family?

Just now our family said that you have found a good job for our nephew. Our family has accepted this love. If you give gifts again, our family really can't afford it. "

Lin Yuanxuan took back the banknote, cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you, Eunuch Li!"

While talking, he sent Eunuch Li out, Eunuch Li said in a low voice: "Young Master's performance in the Hall of Mental Cultivation that day was really amazing, afterward many people praised you.

Even the empress dowager, the empress and all the concubines became curious about the young master. The queen mother also said that next time she enters the palace, she must see the young master. "

Lin Yuanxuan smiled slightly and said: "That's all I can do. Next time I enter the palace, I will go to pay a formal visit to the Queen Mother."

Eunuch Li smiled, his voice was like that of a hen, "clucking" non-stop.

Watching him get into the carriage until the carriage left Zhuangzi, Lin Yuanxuan turned around and called Zhao Ziluo over by the way.

"Master, what's the arrangement?" Zhao Ziluo stepped into the front hall, covered in dust, and there was a lot of dust on his face. He just came from the construction site.

Lin Yuanxuan unfolded the calligraphy written by Emperor Yin, and said softly: "Have someone print this calligraphy, make it into a plaque, and hang it on all our shops."

Zhao Ziluo glanced at it, and said happily: "Young master, this is the emperor's handwriting! It's really great, with this handwriting, our shop will be much less troublesome in the future!

Master, in this way, we can keep more of our shop. After all, there is the emperor's handwriting. Even if the officials want to use us, they will take care of the emperor's face.

This plaque must be made of the best materials. The Holy Grace is mighty. Since it is written by the emperor, if it is made too simple, then we will be rude. "

Lin Yuanxuan shook his head and said: "As for the shops, we can keep some of them, but most of them still have to be let out, and I have already let out six shops.

In my prediction, it is enough for us to keep ten to twenty shops, and give up the rest to others. After all, there are franchise fees, so we can save some trouble. "

Zhao Ziluo thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Master, then I'll deal with it right away. I'll hang this picture here later. No matter who comes, I have to take a good look at it."

Seeing his joyful expression, Lin Yuanxuan couldn't help but smile.

In this era, the emperor was more powerful than Mount Tai, so seeing the words of Emperor Yin, Zhao Ziluo's joy can be imagined.

Watching him leave, Lin Yuanxuan suddenly remembered that he hadn't had time to reply to Yuan Yuhan's letter.

People helped him so much, he had to express his gratitude.

Back in the back house, only Xie Liuyan and Yue Huaiyun were in the room.

"Lang Jun, I heard that someone is coming from the palace?" Xie Liuyan asked softly.

Lin Yuanxuan nodded: "Before I asked His Majesty for a picture, His Majesty finished it and asked Eunuch Li to send it over."

"The words of His Majesty?" Xie Liuyan was startled.

Yue Huaiyun also looked excited and said: "Young Master, Your Majesty has sent you a letter?"

"The meaning of this painting does not lie in the writing itself, I just want to use it to keep our shop."

Lin Yuanxuan said softly, then thought for a while and said, "Where's mother?"

"Mother went to Feiliu Temple and wanted to send a letter to Grandpa, telling me about your performance during this time." Xie Liuyan said softly.

Now that she has accepted her relationship with Qin Shengnan frankly, it is natural to call her "mother".

Lin Yuanxuan nodded, and then walked into the study.

Emperor Yin asked to draw a painting about snow, and Lin Yuanxuan thought about some pictures from the past in his mind.

His heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly remembered the picture of fishing alone in the cold river and snow. Such a picture is very artistic.

It's just a painting for Emperor Yin, so it's better to draw one for Yuan Yuhan and give it to her when she enters the palace.

In any case, Emperor Yin is right, his calligraphy is definitely not comparable to that of a shop.

This time Lin Yuanxuan found Caimo.To paint the feeling of wind and snow, white paint is always used.

Fortunately, there are also colored inks in this era, and some people are painting ink and wash paintings, but most of them are meticulous paintings, and there are few freehand ones.

Lin Yuanxuan swiped his ink and drew the undulating mountains, the heavy snowfall, the lonely pine in the mountains covered with white snow, and an old man in coir raincoat sitting on a lone boat, fishing.

In the blank space in the upper left corner, he wrote another poem: "Birds fly away in a thousand mountains, and people disappear in a thousand paths. A lonely boat and a hat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow."

After finishing the painting, he drew another one for Yuan Yuhan, this time it was still Bai Xue, but the protagonist in it was Hongmei.

Snow falls on the red plums in the corner, reflecting the rising and falling houses in the distance, forming a white world.

Putting down the pen, Lin Yuanxuan stamped the seal, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
