Speaking of the past, Li shepherd sighed and said, "I used to be black."

"Giggle -" because the laughter was too fierce, the girl had a healthy blush on her face and said aloud, "I know. There has been such a rumor in Tiandu city before. Everyone is curious about what the lawless Li shepherd looks like. Soon, someone in Tiandu will sell your portrait. I also asked Xiao Xing to buy one -- "

"Xiaoxing is me." The bird on the left scrambled to say.

"The portrait you bought is nothing like yourself."

"And that?" Li shepherd was surprised. No one told him that his portrait was selling well in Tiandu city in the past few days after he came back“ What did they paint me like? "

"Only one pair of eyes can be seen."

"Black?"

"Yes. It's so dark that you can only see a pair of eyes. " Song Chenxi looked at Li shepherd close at hand and thought, I don't know which bad man deliberately vilifies others for profit. The shepherd is like bamboo and pine. He is natural and handsome. He is a very rare elegant childe in the whole world. I felt ridiculous when I got the portrait. How can a person be so black? Now I see this Buddha, which confirms my guess at that time“ The shepherd is very handsome. "

Li shepherd blushed, bowed deeply again and said, "thank Miss Song for her praise. But your share of the money should not have been spent in vain. It was really dark when I was a child. It's so dark that you can only see a pair of eyes. "

"Really?" Song Chenxi glared, obviously unwilling to believe“ Why is it so white now? "

"I'll tell Miss Song a story." Said Li shepherd.

"Great." I like listening to stories best. The one on the left applauded.

"I like listening to stories, too. Is it the story of a young man slaughtering a dragon? " The bird on the right also said aloud.

"Xiao Xing, Xiao Yue, you two don't have many mouths." Song Chenxi seemed to spoil the two little servant girls around her and couldn't bear to really blame them“ be quiet. Listen to the shepherd tell a story. "

"It's the story of an ugly duckling." Li shepherd smiled and said, "once upon a time, there was an ugly duckling. It was very ugly. All the ducklings disliked it and didn't want to play with it. The ugly duckling was wronged and said to his mother, mother, they all said I was ugly and didn't want to play with me. The mother hugged the ugly duckling and comforted him, silly child, one day, you will become the most beautiful Duckling and the most dazzling existence of the duck family. The ugly duckling listened to his mother's words and secretly encouraged himself. I must work hard. I want to be the most beautiful duck. As a result, the ugly duckling stayed away from home, experienced wind and frost, and suffered from ups and downs-“

"At last the ugly duckling became beautiful, didn't she?" Song Chenxi asked expectantly.

"The ugly duckling was eaten." Said Li shepherd“ It was crossing a small river when a hunter found it and shot an arrow at it. The hunter took the ugly duckling back to pluck and wash it and stew it in Asparagus oil. It is said that it tastes very good. "

“————————-”

The three little women and children in the carriage stared at Li shepherd with wide eyes and wide mouths.

"The ugly duckling was eaten?" Xiaoxing said. Li shepherd can finally distinguish the differences between the two little girls. There is a small red birthmark on Xiaoxing's forehead, while Xiaoyue's eyes are narrower and longer. It looks a little charming for mature women.

"How could it be eaten? The hunter -- ate the protagonist of the story? "

"Yes." Li shepherd nodded“ If you see an ugly duckling on the roadside, will you take it back and eat it? "

The two birds shook their heads desperately, indicating that they would never eat the ugly duckling.

Li shepherd smiled and said, "but hunters can. For hunters, rabbits are meat and ducks are meat. Isn't it normal to change your taste from time to time? "

"You -- -- tell me this story --" Song Chenxi's chest fluctuated slightly and said aloud, "tell me this story -- - no, don't you want to comfort me?"

"Yes." Li shepherd nodded seriously and said, "do you understand?"

"What do you understand?"

"Why was the ugly duckling eaten by the hunter?"

"Because -- it left his family?"

"Because it has ambitions that do not match its strength." Li Shepherd said, "if he doesn't want to be the most beautiful duckling, he doesn't want to be the most dazzling existence of the duck family. Then it will stay at ease with its parents and family, calm and happy, and will never encounter hunters and be eaten by them. "

"Are you trying to say --"

"Yes." Li shepherd nodded seriously: "you are the daughter of the Song family and the most dazzling existence of Tiandu city. Therefore, the way of painting and youth only needs to talk about your mind. There is no need to deliberately pursue imported products or entry. That's what people who have nothing want to do. Why do you bother yourself like this? "

"Will I be eaten by hunters?"

"No, you'll eat yourself." Li Shepherd said with a smile.

"Hey, what do you mean?" Xiao Xing glared at Li shepherd angrily and said angrily, "why do you say so about our Miss?"

"Apologize. Apologize to our lady immediately. "

"Little star and little moon" -- "Song Chenxi yelled. His eyes as bright as stars swept towards Li shepherd and said softly," I see. I'll pay attention. "

"Just understand. Prove that the ugly duckling didn't die in vain. " Li shepherd grinned.

Xiaoxing and Xiaoyue looked at each other and looked confused.

But the young lady wouldn't let them say, so they didn't dare to question Li shepherd again.

"Chenxi has a request. I don't know what to say." Song Chenxi looked at Li shepherd and said shyly.

"Miss Song, just speak." Li Shepherd said aloud. He really can't bear to refuse the girl's request. If not too much.

"I'd like to ask the shepherd to give me an ink treasure." Song Chenxi whispered, probably because he felt that it was shameful to force someone to draw, so he quickly explained, "I will give you a generous gift."

"I don't care if there are such things as generous gifts." Li Shepherd said aloud“ I promised Miss Song's request. When I have good works, I will send them to your house in person. "

"No, I want to -- -" Song Chenxi's voice lowered, his red face reddened, and his voice whispered, "I want the shepherd to draw a picture for me --"

Li shepherd suddenly realized, nodded seriously and said, "I will try my best to show my young lady's style."

"Just do your best." Song Chenchen sat in the carriage, raised his big sleeve, bowed deeply to Li shepherd and said, "thank you."

After saying goodbye to song Chenxi, Li shepherd sat back in his carriage.

Think of song Chenxi's last request, there is a feeling of laughter and laughter.

Dignitaries raise more painters in order to make portraits for their family and elders, so as to leave them for later generations. Even there were palace painters in the palace, who kept the colors of the king and the Imperial Palace on that side of the white silk.

With song Chenxi's status and the degree of favor in the Song family, what kind of painter she wants to find can't be found? Even those palace painters in the Xifeng palace can move around immediately?

Why did she find herself to paint her picture?

"Because I'm better than all of them." Li shepherd nodded solemnly, thinking that the old saying is really reasonable: more skills don't pressure the body. The more things a person knows, the easier he will live.

It was just a moment of interest, but I didn't expect such a harvest today.

Looking back, I have to check the memory bank of the black dragon. During its long life, it really learned a lot of magical skills and skills. If you learn more, you can't say when you can use it.

"Over time, who will be the most beautiful man in Tiandu?" Li shepherd thought in his heart.

I'm sorry to see, from the waste youth and black charcoal pigs in Jiangnan City to today's elegant and beautiful youth in China -- do you know how hard Li shepherd works?

"Uncle Luo, let's go home." Li Shepherd said aloud, "Grandpa Lu, they are still waiting at home. They must be worried if they haven't gone back for so long. "

Luo Xu answered and waved the whip to drive the carriage up again. He knows that Li shepherd's worry is very reasonable. With the Lu family's attention to the young man in front of him, he came alone to see the famous star eye of the west wind. Song is lonely. I'm afraid it's difficult for the family to settle down?

Inside the ox cart, Xiaoxing and Xiaoyue looked at their young lady pitifully.

"Miss, that Li Shepherd is a bad man. Miss, don't talk to him in the future."

"Yes, the duckling is so cute that how can it be eaten by the hunter? He is a bad man. "

Song Chenxi smiled, reached out and pinched the pretty faces of the two little girls and said, "he is also kind."

"Good intentions? What's the good intention? The story he told was not pleasant at all. He also said that he would eat the duckling and that the young lady would eat herself -- "

"That's because you two are stupid girls." Song Chenxi held the heating stove and leaned soft on the thick blanket of the carriage. Only in this way could her body temperature rise a little and she wouldn't feel that it was so cold outside“ He's right. I'll eat myself. Just do what you can. Why bother yourself? "

"I really like the way of painting, but my body is too weak. If I work as hard as before, I'm afraid my grandfather will not save me again. Grandpa told me not to draw again last time. It was only after I begged him again and again that he allowed me to draw Kung Fu for a while every day -- -- if I have too strong ambition and want to get myself into the door of the ink way and enter the country, the effort I need is not something my body can bear.
