Xie Qiuyang wanted to catch up with Wei ruoyi, but he was entangled by Chu Yijun. "Cousin, I haven't seen you for many days. How can you run when you see me." Chu Yijun grabbed Xie Qiuyang's sleeve, "why don't you go in with me?"
Xie Qiuyang looked at Wei ruoyi and sighed, "cousin, you can't be so mischievous in front of the princess." he lowered his voice and said, "you can't say such mean words to the princess for a while."
"Others need to be afraid of her. Why should my cousin flatter her?" said Chu Yijun discontentedly. "Is my cousin not afraid of Grandpa's discontent?"
Xie Qiuyang thought, is this your grandfather's special permission!
But he didn't say it.
"Some words don't have to be said in the open." Xie Qiuyang said, "you understand."
Chu Yijun showed some joy. She thought Xie Qiuyang had to come with Princess Chong'an, so she immediately nodded, "I see. Thank you for your advice." then she happily entered the painting club with Xie Qiuyang.
Xiao Ziya saw Wei ruoyi come in from a distance. She was a little stunned at first, then smiled and motioned for someone to push him out.
"Princess." Xiao Ziya called Wei ruoyi. Wei ruoyi twisted her head and hurriedly walked over, "I've met brother Ziya. I really admire brother Ziya more and more. Brother Ziya writes well and writes strong poems. He is also the founder of this painting club. He's omnipotent."
Being praised by Wei Ruo Yi, Xiao Ziya's white face floated a light Fei color, "where is so good, but I really have nothing to do, so I can dance like this."
"You have to have real talent to dance." Wei ruoyi said with a smile, "if you ask me to dance, I can only dance on the board."
Xiao Ziya was amused by Wei ruoyi's words and smiled, "every time you talk to the princess, people can't help laughing."
"Brother Ziya smiles very well. If brother Ziya goes out more, it will be a scenery in the capital." Wei ruoyi said sincerely.
The Xiao family are all good-looking. They deserve to be royalty. It's true that God favors the Xiao family's men. They all have outstanding looks.
Xiao Ziya was stunned and then said with a smile, "I seldom went out after I hurt my leg. It's just very inconvenient in the palace and these houses after all."
"I don't mean anything else. Brother Ziya, don't misunderstand." Wei ruoyi said hurriedly.
"I know." Xiao Ziya nodded gracefully.
During the chat with Xiao Ziya, Wei ruoyi knew that Xiao Ziya had also run several painting shops in the capital to help sell some paintings made by the painting agency.
"Not everyone in the painting club comes from a rich family," Xiao Ziya explained, "Some of them depend on selling paintings for living. So I opened several shops to help them sell them for sale, and only charged a little mounting fees. Actually, I was really bored. The things in the hall didn't need me to worry about. There were fathers in the house, and I didn't need to ask, so I did something I was interested in. This can help them and kill time, Why not? "
Wei ruoyi expressed understanding.
Since this painting agency can attract top scholars like Xie Qiuyang, it should be high-end and high-grade. If Xiao Ziya sells his paintings, he should be able to sell them at a high price.
This is really killing two birds with one stone.
"We didn't go to help the orphans and disabled people in the pujitang in the city until we used the surplus we earned." the young man behind Xiao Ziya said.
Wei Ruo Yi was stunned.
Xiao Ziya waved unhappily. "These things are not surprising. What can I say?" he frowned and said to his little boy.
The boy answered and hung his head.
"Why don't you let people say that brother Ziya has done good deeds?" Wei Ruo Yi asked puzzled.
Xiao Ziya lowered her eyes slightly. He was silent for a moment, and then said to Wei ruoyi with a little self mockery, "Since I became disabled, I know how difficult life is. I was born in the royal palace. I can't move easily and still have people to take care of me. But if those poor people in the city can't move easily and their families are poor and have nothing to rely on, they will be miserable. I always think I should do something to accumulate good fortune for myself. Besides, what great role can my alms play That is to make them eat from time to time. "
"That's already very powerful. At least you think of those people." Wei ruoyi smiled.
Don't say, Xiao Ziya's words really reminded Wei ruoyi.
Although the Wei mansion protects the family and the country, Wei ruoyi has been on the streets of the capital for a long time and knows that the Wei mansion has a poor reputation among the people in the capital. Everyone only remembers the arrogant and domineering name of the Wei mansion, but forgets that the reason why they can live safely in the capital without worrying about foreign invasion is because her father, general Wei, has been fighting outside.
This is not going to work.
To reverse the image of the Wei mansion among the people, what Xiao Ziya did can really be used for reference. Although there are also suspects and motives to show off, it is a win-win thing. The Wei mansion has a good reputation and the people get real benefits, killing two birds with one stone.
Wei ruoyi is a pragmatic person. He doesn't like any fancy meandering, but he has to plan one or two here. After all, fatal things will happen in the near future. The Wei family has a good reputation, which may be helpful. If the reputation continues to be so bad, it will only become one of the handles for the Xie family to impeach the Wei family again. The matter that empress Chen dealt with has greatly inspired Wei ruoyi. How important a good reputation is. Now Xiao Ziya's matter makes Wei ruoyi completely understand.
"Brother Ziya, take me with you next time you go to help those poor people." Wei ruoyi smiled. "Although I have only modest strength, I also want to follow brother Ya's kindness. No matter how much, it's at least a heart."
Xiao Ziya was stunned when she heard the speech. She looked at Wei Ruo Yi suspiciously. "Is what the princess said true?"
"Must be true! More true than pearls!" Wei ruoyi vowed.
"OK." Xiao Ziya nodded slightly and smiled, "the princess has a heart."
Wei ruoyi and Xiao Ziya had a very happy conversation. On the contrary, Xie Qiuyang brought Wei ruoyi. Xie Qiuyang was entangled by his cousin. He couldn't say two words with Wei ruoyi, so he could only look and sigh.
When Xiao Ziya came, she began to teach Wei ruoyi to identify various pigments. After Xiao Ziya introduced Wei ruoyi, she knew that all the pigments in ancient times were pure natural things, many of them were minerals. When it came to cinnabar, Wei ruoyi's eyes lit up. She knew that! She had bought a cinnabar pendant before, but her grandmother threw it away. She was not allowed to wear it. It was said to be poisonous.
"This thing is poisonous," Wei ruoyi said, pointing to the bright red cinnabar on the small plate.
"How can it be poisonous." Xiao Ziya first frowned a little, then smiled, "where did you hear the nonsense."
Eh, did she remember wrong? That's what grandma Mingming said
There was no mobile phone at hand to access Baidu. Wei Ruo Yi could only scratch his head reluctantly, "maybe I really remember wrong..." hearing Xiao Ziya's confirmation, Wei Ruo Yi hesitated. Is the modern cinnabar and the ancient cinnabar the same thing? Forget it. Don't worry. She won't use this kind of thing anyway. Whatever. These painters are fine all day, so they should be really fine.
