Merton turned around and saw a palace girl with a slightly familiar face coming over with a dejected Lizhi and a little blessing to Merton.
"Don't you dare?" Merton quickly dodged and could call Li Zhi his brother. Naturally, it was the princess.
"Are you Li Zhi?"
The more Merton looked at the palace girl in front of him, the more familiar he felt. Suddenly, he suddenly realized that this was the princess Changle who was brought to the ink house by Li Chengqian that day?
"Changle used a pseudonym that day! I hope Lord Mo will forgive me!" Princess Changle said with a red face. After all, the princess who had received strict etiquette was exposed as a man disguised as a woman, and her face was a little sorry.
They had a tacit understanding and didn't mention Merton's rescue of Changle's engagement. Although it was a semi public secret, it was related to the royal face after all. It's better to regard it as never happened.
Merton took the drawing returned by Princess Changle and said, "thank you for returning the drawing. I'm not very grateful."
"It's not too late for Lord Mo to thank you again after reading the drawing?" Princess Changle looked a little embarrassed.
Merton was surprised and reached out to open the swimming pool effect drawing. He couldn't help being a little stunned: "this is not the draft painted by Weichen."
All the scenes were as like as two peas, but obviously some of the beautiful traces were not the original manuscript of Merton.
"Merton, your painting has long been changed by sister Huang!" Li Zhi looked at Merton contemptuously, as if he had no sense of repentance as a thief, a pair of contemptuous eyes.
Princess Changle smiled and said, "Lord Mo's new painting skills are famous in Chang'an. The little woman can't help but want to collect one. Lord Mo won't be stingy!"
Merton looked at the copy painting in his hand and couldn't help but marvel at the painting skills of Princess Changle. He almost restored his effect drawing intact. At present, he sighed: "the princess has excellent painting skills. It's an honor for Weichen to see Weichen's painting."
"Can Lord Mo do it to the end and sign the picture!" Princess Changle smiled cunningly and took out the original of the swimming pool effect drawing and a goose feather pen from behind a palace maid.
Merton knew that he was in the routine. With a bitter smile, Princess Changle was ready. Even Merton could think about such details as writing with a goose feather pen.
He had to accept his life, pick up the quill pen, bow down and sign his name on the quill pen.
Princess Changle picked up the painting like a treasure and couldn't help smiling at the lifelike swimming pool picture.
"What makes our princess Changle so happy?" Li Chengqian came with little Lori and Princess Jinyang in a loud voice.
"Sister Huang!"
Princess Jinyang immediately ran to Princess Changle's side, with an intimate appearance.
"Brother Prince, elder sister Huang, she bullied me!" Li Zhi also found the Savior, grabbed Li Chengqian's clothes, poured beans out of the bamboo tube and poured out the actions of Princess Changle.
"Brother nine and Merton are so stupid?" Princess Jinyang said with a smile, laughing proudly at Lizhi and Merton.
Li Chengqian was also overjoyed and said, "brother Mo, forgive me. She Mei is naughty."
"You're welcome, Prince. It's just a picture. It's worthless." Merton waved and said.
"Lord Mo is too modest! If it is revealed in this painting, even Qianjin will be bought?" Princess Changle said in front of her brothers and sisters, restoring her maiden nature and jumping.
Merton is the pioneer of the new painting technique, which is well-known in the painting circle of Chang'an city. In addition to the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, there are only one picture of Gongsun girl. Especially Merton draws the appearance of the murderer only according to the dictation of witnesses. The new painting technique has long been regarded as a divine skill, and Merton's painting is worth thousands of gold, which is not false at all.
Li Zhi's face suddenly drooped. He had stolen it, but Changle took it away.
"Oh! I didn't think my paintings were so valuable. If I painted seven or eight pairs a day, it would be a lot of money every day. Where should I worry about Mojia village?" Merton joked.
Princess Changle smiled.
"Brother Mo's painting skills are amazing and valuable. It's just one of them. The greater value of this painting is in the swimming pool in the painting. This is the first swimming pool painting in the world. It's of great natural value. You should put it away, Huangmei?" Li Chengqian smiled.
"Don't worry, Prince and brother!" Princess Changle said with a smile.
"I've heard Qin Huaiyu show off this swimming pool. It's the ultimate enjoyment." Li Chengqian sighed with emotion after looking at the busy scene and Merton's swimming pool renderings.
Since ancient times, the ancient way of summer vacation has been monotonous. Emperors can go to the summer resort if they have conditions. Dignitaries and dignitaries can just get a water room Pavilion. Ordinary people just go down the river to take a bath. But there's a trick here in Merton.
Swimming pools, T-shirts and ice making are unheard of and unthinkable.
"It's hot, you great craftsmen have worked hard, and someone will give you ice!" Li Chengqian remembered his purpose, and immediately several eunuchs carried a bucket of broken ice to the craftsmen who would be the prison.
With the method of making ice with saltpeter, the ice in the imperial palace will become rich. If in previous years, the royal family is not enough, where do you worry about ordinary craftsmen.
"Thank you, your highness!" the craftsmen were overjoyed.
Saltpeter ice making has not spread yet. Ice is still a rare thing in this era. Courtiers always enjoy the treatment of giving ice. Ordinary craftsmen have tasted the taste of ice in summer.
The cold ice melted in the mouth, and the cool liquid slipped into the stomach from the throat. Suddenly, one by one, the heat disappeared, and the craftsmen immediately enjoyed the most expression.
"Brother Mo, please too!" Li Chengqian asked.
Merton's treatment is certainly better than that of ordinary craftsmen. The ice given is packed on a plate, and there are more than ten pieces.
"How do you eat this?"
Merton looked at the bare and transparent ice on the plate in surprise. At least a piece of wood should be made into a popsicle or something!
"It's delicious." Li Zhi was greedy. He reached out and took an ice cube and ate it with a look of enjoyment
"You eat like this?" Merton looked at Li Zhi, who had a good time, and couldn't help drawing a corner of his mouth.
"Otherwise?" Li Chengqian said in surprise. Even Princess Changle looked puzzled. Isn't it always like this when eating ice?
Then they suddenly realized that Merton in front of them was the one who created such delicious food as fried vegetables and cakes. They couldn't help but lag. Is there any other way to eat ice they don't know.
Thinking of this, I looked around and looked at the ice in front of me. Suddenly, I felt as ignorant as the craftsman who tasted ice for the first time in summer.
