Chang’an’s First Beauty

Chapter 14 Portraits

Lu Yan went out with Zheng Jingzhao today, first to make a record of the missing people, then went to the Penal Department again, and it was noon to return to Yamen.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Sun Shaoyin snapped the ivory-engraved brush on the table.

"What's wrong with this?" Zheng Jingzhao said.

At first sight, Sun Shaoyin was Zheng Jingzhao, and he quickly got up to salute and frowned, "I just went to the Song family, and I wanted to draw a portrait of the prisoner through her description. If you know me, the Song family will never let me see People, saying that her daughter was stimulated and saw a female painter. The subordinates had no choice but to go to the female painter. But adults, the female painters in Beijing Middle School really did not say much, and they mostly painted landscapes. The character, really... look at it." He said, and he handed a few pictures on the table to Zheng Jingzhao, showing an inexpressible expression.

After Zheng Jingzhao had seen it, he couldn't help but sneer. He really didn't know whether the artist was painting criminals or apes.

He handed over to Lu Yan, sat down, and continued: "Song's daughters all said something more, but the painter asked clearly?"

Sun Shaoyin nodded, "Song Ling'er was going to Xixiang to buy the powder that day, but the Baixiang Pavilion in Xishi was closed, so she went to the workshop a little further away. She heard people saying there was a famous powder shop there. "

Speaking of Baixiang Pavilion, Lu Yan on the side raised the brow corner involuntarily.

"Continue." Zheng Jingzhao said again.

"Song Ling'er was taken away in the practice workshop. She was knocked down as soon as she noticed that it was wrong. The female painter helped to see it. Her head still has marks of being hit by bottles. According to her statement, she When he woke up, he was sent to the bed of a strange man, and his eyes were covered by the veil, but no one was seen. Fortunately, when she got up, the veil just tilted, and she saw it. Song Linger said that the man had saved Yes, the bridge of the nose is tall, the face is scary, and the eyes are split."

After listening to Sun Xu's words, Lu Yan looked down at the portrait in his hand again, and raised his hand to touch the bridge of his nose. He couldn't help but say: The lush beard and the scary appearance are also drawn.

Zheng Jingzhao said again: "This is over? What is your stature and posture?"

Sun Shaoyin shook his head, "The subordinates also felt that there were too few records, so they went to the Song family again, but this time the Song family didn't even let in the gate. I asked them to say more, they only said two eyes. , One nose and one mouth, and the rest are unknown."

Lu Yan shook the portrait in his hand and said, "This portrait, what does Song's daughter say?"

Sun Shaoyin's face turned red and he gritted his teeth. "It's exactly the same as saying." But who can look like an ape?

Zheng Jingzhao took the case and yelled out loud, "Nonsense! Since her Song family is a Dajin people, they live in Chang'an City! That is why it should be divided with the Yamen to handle the case. How can they be tolerated..."

Sun Shaoyin said: "Adults are angry, it is not that the Song family's second old man is rampant, but that this thing happened. The Song family girl was remarried by the Liu family. Not to mention that in the past two days, just looking for death, it has been twice..."

The woman has always been raped by someone. If she didn't die, then it was a life.

After a long silence, Zheng Jingzhao sighed again: "Send someone to start the investigation from the Xiu Xian Fang. Since it was taken from there, there will definitely be some clues in the Xiu Xian Xian." Master Lu’s painting work is excellent. Although Song Linger’s words are not many, but no clues can be broken, so please invite Master Lu to draw more pictures based on Fang Cai’s description, and then send it to Song’s daughter to call her Pick one."

It was really the death of the Guan Da level, Zheng Jingzhao made a speech, and Lu Yan could only do this time-consuming and laborious work.

When it was time to fall off in the evening, Sun Xu walked to Lu Yan and said, "Master Lu, you know so many noble girls, aren't there two who can draw portraits?"

Lu Yan thought for a moment, thinking of those plum orchids and bamboo and chrysanthemums painted by Meng Suxi, he said: "No." After he had finished, Sun Xu quickly said: "Master Lu, I'm going with you."

Lu Yan looked back and said: "The same way?"

Sun Xu smiled and patted Lu Yan's shoulder, "Last night in Pingkangfang, I saw your sedan chair."

Lu Yan's body was stiff, but he couldn't explain it. After all, he asked someone to stop the sedan there.

He sighed: "Lu Mou still has portraits to be painted today. I'm afraid he can't be with Master Sun."

Sun Xu patted his head, "I'm wrong, I forgot that Master Lu still has important things."

——

Lu Yan was exhausted and hesitated again and again to return to Chengyuan.

After dinner, Lu Yan raised his head and asked Shen Zhen, "Can you study ink?"

Shen Zhen nodded.

Lu Yan recalled the testimony of Song's daughter, accumulating beard, high nose bridge, scary appearance, eyebrows splitting, and could not help sneer. There are dozens of kinds of beard alone. .

He stood up helplessly, and immediately, he patted Shen Zhen's buttocks naturally, "come to my study in a while and study ink for me."

As soon as he acted lightly, Shen Zhen's face turned red.

His non-trivial slapping seemed to bring an indescribable ambiguity, which made people unable to control his heart and liver.

Entering the study room, Lu Yan then flattened the paper with a ruler and waited for a while before seeing Shen Zhenhong walking in with a fingertip holding a cup of water.

Lu Yan frowned and asked her, what kind of water was used for so long?

Shen Zhen blinked and explained: "If you wear ink, you can use cold water, but the rain is better, but there is no rain in winter. I thought about the warmth of the day, and the snow on the eaves was ticking, and I took it. Come over here."

After hearing this, Lu Yan understood why her fingertips were flushed.

Also, the daughter raised in Yunyang Houfu naturally understands that there will be more than ordinary people.

Lu Yan nodded, Yantai and Mo Yitong handed her.

Shen Zhen looked at the ink in his hand and murmured, "Is this a big ink?"

Lu Yan glanced at her sideways, "Huh" snorted.She didn't think she knew so much.

After Shen Zhenyan's ink was good, Lu Yan set up a pen and dipped in ink, and began to paint.

In other words, this person has two eyes, one nose, and one mouth, but it looks like a person with a squinting eye. Lu Yan painted more than ten kinds.

After an hour, he frowned, tilted his neck, and moved his shoulder blades.

Shen Zhen Xiaobu moved over, put two small white hands on his shoulders, and gently rubbed him. Although the strength was small, Lu Yan was still useful.

He closed his eyes and leaned back, holding one of her fingers against the temple.

Shen Zhen understood what he meant, and her soft fingertips moved again. Although she was curious about who he was painting, thinking of what he was doing, she didn't ask anything.

This is a full set of twenty pens. Seeing that it's about to arrive in Hai, Lu Yan rushed to Shen Zhen said: "Go back, you don't have to wait for me tonight."

Shen Zhen's ink-brushed hands are tired, not to mention painting. After seeing him throwing his hands countless times, Shen Zhen tentatively said: "Otherwise I will paint with adults, maybe it will be faster?"

Lu Yan's hand paused and looked up at her, "Drew a portrait?"

Shen Zhen nodded, "Draw a few times."

"Who is the teacher?"

"Li Mo, Li Fuzi. When the Master was alive, he called me a few times." Shen Zhen said.

As soon as these words fell, Lu Yan was stunned.

If someone else said this, he might not believe it.There is no reason for him. After all, Li Mo has been regarded as the most outstanding person since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. His paintings are still framed in the Imperial City.

But Shen Zhen is different. Shen Zhen's grandfather had been a Taifu, and he counted the same age as Li Mo.

No wonder, from the moment she studied ink, she was very skilled.

Lu Yan dragged her to her eyes, and handed her the pen, "I said, can you do it?"

Shen Zhen nodded.

Lu Yan casually said: "Wide face, long eyebrows, round eyes, high nose, thick lips."

Shen Zhensi thought for a while, slowly writing, and after a while, outlined a person.

After seeing clearly, Lu Yan standing behind her couldn't help but smiled and shook her head.It is true that she could see the difference with a stroke of the pen.

This is talent.

Since she can paint, there is no need to paint any more. Tomorrow will disguise her and take her to the Song family.

Shen Zhen stopped writing.Looking back at him, "Sir, can you do this?"

Fang Cai was in a hurry, and Lu Yan's tug was equivalent to taking Shen Zhen into his arms, and now Shen Zhen looked back, his forehead just hit his chin.

The skin touched, and the temperature in the study room rose inexplicably.

Her eyes coincided with his constantly sliding throat.

"Is it used?" he said dumbly.

Shen Zhenxian first thought of the Mozi soup she gave to her.

There must be no pregnancy in his outer room, which she knew beforehand.She bit her lower lip and shook her head. "Adult, I used musk in advance. I didn't drink the soup." Then, he shook his sachet at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan looked down at her little red face and continued, "I am talking about the medicine that Yang Zong sent in the afternoon." Yesterday made it a little harder. He had seen it and remembered it.

As soon as these words came out, the hair of Shen Zhenlong's horns stood up, recalling that she applied the medicine herself this morning, and her entire face became glamorous.

She sounded like a mosquito, "Go on, go on."

Lu Yan pinched her slender waist that she could not hold, and lifted it up, making her sit on the table with her eyes facing each other, only listening to his dumb tone, and asked her in a low voice, "Is it."
