New Year's Eve, also known as New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, the year is over, and the most important festival day of the year.

A large group of princesses came over to play early in the morning, and some people clamored to ask the third brother to help draw. They all knew that the third brother was good at drawing.

But Zhu Qi was called to worship his ancestors by Zhu Yuanzhang early in the morning. After worshiping his ancestors, he would start changing the door gods, pasting Spring Festival couplets, hanging New Year pictures, hanging tags, and pasting window flowers...

Good guy, I thought these tasks were done by the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Zhu Yuanzhang was a commoner and hoped that his children could do many things by themselves.

Just like Zhu Yuanzhang likes to let his sons lead the troops themselves, Zhu Yuanzhang also likes to let his sons do these festive atmospheres themselves.

However, after Zhu Qi finished these miscellaneous work, he immediately ran out of the palace. On New Year's Eve, there is a custom that you have to stay at home at home. Going to other people's homes will destroy Feng Shui, but it is still okay to go out during the day.

What's more, Zhu Qi didn't go to find his friends of the noble children, but to find Lan Xian'er.

Although Lan Xian'er is from Miaojiang, just like many ethnic minorities who can celebrate the Spring Festival, most of the Miao people at this time will celebrate the Spring Festival, commonly known as the Han Chinese New Year.

The reason why it is not called the Spring Festival or the New Year is because the Miao people have their own Spring Festival, that is, the Miao Year.

The dates of the Seedling Year of the Year vary from place to place, but after harvesting millet into the warehouse, they are held on the Chen (Dragon) day, Mao (Rabbit) day or Chou (Ox) day in the ninth, tenth or November of the lunar calendar.

The Miao Nian is like the Spring Festival of the Han people. It also has to stay up to the New Year, eat New Year's Eve dinner, set off firecrackers to celebrate, etc.

In addition, making glutinous rice cakes, making rice wine, making tofu, making bean sprouts, buying New Year pigs and killing New Year pigs, etc. are all similar to the Chinese Spring Festival.

However, Zhu Qi did not know Miao Nian before, and did not seize the opportunity to take Lan Xian'er to celebrate Miao Nian with him. Naturally, it is impossible to miss the Spring Festival.

It’s not that Zhu Qi deliberately did not bring Xu Miaoyun to celebrate the Spring Festival. He is really going to marry Xu Miaoyun soon, and he can’t see him easily, let alone a big day like New Year’s Eve.

Zhu Qi came to the place where Lan Xian'er was temporarily living and saw Lan Xian'er wearing a new dress.

A beige pleated long gown dressed with lily, with black and soft hair combed in the middle, and was woven into a high bun at the whirlpool position. The bun was decorated with exquisite hair accessories around it, and a hairband of the same color as the clothes were hanging behind it.

Such a dressing look is very different from the original female hero. If Xu Miaoyun was wearing this outfit, she would definitely look like a little girl next door.

However, this outfit is worn on Lan Xian'er, and her heroic facial features are like a fairy tale.

In the world with the background of fairy tales, I am afraid that it is not a role like a senior sister from a major sect.

Lan Xian'er was looked at by Zhu Qi from top to bottom, and couldn't help but blush, pulled her clothes and asked:

"Isn't this dress good-looking?"

"It looks good!" Zhu Qi said:

"It looks good, it's really good."

It was obviously the first time Lan Xian'er wore such a beautiful dress. She waved her left and right and looked around. Zhu Qi clapped her hands over there, and someone came with a big mirror behind her.

The mirrors in the Hongwu period were mostly bronze mirrors. Although glass mirrors have appeared now, the workmanship of glass mirrors at this time was still relatively rough, and it took decades before the real modern mirrors could appear in the world.

After having a mirror in the modern sense, telescopes, microscopes and other instruments appeared.

Naturally, Lan Xian'er had never seen a glass mirror before. When she saw this mirror, she looked at the reflection reflected in the mirror. This was the first time she saw her appearance so clearly.

She raised her hand and touched her face in the mirror. Then she saw Zhu Qi walking behind her and looking at her with a smile. Her face turned red. She clearly saw the meaning in Zhu Qi's eyes, and changed the topic:

"Is this what Your Highness has done again?"

Zhu Qi nodded and said:

"I found a craftsman who made glassware and used quartz, feldspar and limestone, heated and cooled, and then used some cinnabar to refract. The process is very complicated and it sounds very long. However, no matter how clear the mirror is, I think it is difficult to reflect one-third of your beauty."

Lan Xian'er's face turned redder. Zhu Qi was just sweet words if he had something to do. Even if he was a martial arts hero, he couldn't resist it. What's more, Lan Xian'er also had a good impression of Zhu Qi and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness always says something to coax people."

Zhu Qi hurriedly clarified:

"I'm not coaxing people. I'm telling the truth. You see, I've brought all the props, and this is what I want to show you're not even in a thousand beauty."

Lan Xian'er was surprised and saw Zhu Qi quickly clapping his hands, and then an inner official walked in with various painting tools.

Zhu Qi has been in the Ming Dynasty for two years. In the past two years, he has never lost his old painting career. Whether it is painting his own "Mingshanhe" or helping his sisters draw, he has been making progress.

And I don’t know if it’s a time travel benefit. I have been here for a long time and have been vivid in my mind. I still remember every word I have seen.

This is also the reason why Zhu Qi learned military strategy from Xu Da and could learn it once.

Of course, it is useless to memorize words like military arts. Without experience and talent, no matter how many military books you read, it will be useless.

Zhu Qi is a typical example. At least in the art of military art, you can learn it once and lose it once you learn it.

The only advantage is that Zhu Qi is very self-aware and knows those historical celebrities. If you have nothing to do, ask the famous generals for their opinions. In addition, in the early years of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty was full of martial ethics, so it was difficult to fail.

Because of this, Zhu Qi's painting skills are becoming more and more perfect.

Lan Xian'er was a little confused when she saw Zhu Qi bringing so many painting props, but Zhu Qi quickly explained his intentions and helped you draw a portrait!

When he wanted to draw a portrait, the others naturally retreated. Zhu Qi took his things to Lan Xian'er's boudoir and began to command with his eyes.

Although Lan Xian'er was wondering how to draw in the room, since Zhu Qi was a painter, it was hard to say anything. She began to lie on the bed according to Zhu Qi's instructions, and was even in a charming position.

I saw Lan Xian'er's legs slightly intertwined, lifting them up one hundred, revealing a pair of plain white legs, supporting them on the bed with one hand, and the clothes on her shoulders were lifted by Zhu Qi. Her shoulders looked crystal clear, making people unable to help but want to bite.

The posture is very beautiful, and it is definitely a standard position for private photos in later generations. However, in Hongwu years, she was too bold. Lan Xianer blushed and asked:

"Don't others sit upright on chairs when they draw portraits? Why...I want to put on such a shameful position?"

Zhu Qi looked solemn, and there was no sign of lust and frivolousness. He said seriously:

"This is called artistic beauty, why can't it be called a shameful attitude? If this is not the case, how can you reflect 100% of your beauty?"

Zhu Qi also told the truth. Isn’t it only one-third of the beauty when wearing clothes and looking in the mirror?

Even if you draw like this, it will only be two-thirds of the beauty. As for 100% beauty, you may have to find an opportunity to go further.

Zhu Qi was very tough and picked up the brush and started drawing. He adjusted Lan Xian'er from time to time. Although Lan Xian'er was shy and hard to bear, he couldn't say anything at this time, so he could only continue painting like this.

However, as we painted, the atmosphere became much more ambiguous. If we refer to the Titanic, the drawing situation of the male and female protagonists is almost the same as that of reference.

Even if you draw, Zhu Qi will not do anything too special because he can't beat it.

But Zhu Qi's serious painting looks are still charming in Lan Xian'er's eyes. It's a good saying, serious men are always the most handsome.

On the Eve of the Eighth Year of Hongwu, a couple completely met.

—————

The New Year's Eve family dinner in the palace was like last year, kicking off amid the bustling sound of firecrackers.

Our King of Liao was also covered in powder smell, and hurried back. He met Zhu Di, who was smirking at the door. Zhu Di had already approached his third brother and immediately frowned:

"Brother Third, have you sneaked to Xiaoxiang Pavilion? No, my dad has been so powerful recently. I went to bed in class two days ago, and my dad knew it!"

Zhu Qi was stunned. It seemed that these imperial guards had been trained by Zhu Yuanzhang and gradually developed towards the orthodox Jinyiwei. It seemed that the official birth of Jinyiwei was getting closer. However, when Zhu Qi heard what Zhu Di said, he still denied it tactfully:

"Go to you, big-headed ghost, I don't have the heart to go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, this year's New Year's Eve."

"Then why do you have a woman's smell of a woman's makeup?"

Zhu Qi rolled his eyes at Zhu Di and said:

"Doesn't there only women in Xiaoxiang Pavilion in your eyes?"

"Ah..."

Zhu Di immediately came over, winked at Zhu Qi, and whispered:

"Uncle Xu didn't notice it?"

It seems that he thought he had gone to the Xu Mansion.

Before Zhu Qi could speak, he saw that the prince Zhu Biao hurried over, with a smile on his face:

"San, where have you gone? Come here quickly, my father is looking for you."

Zhu Qi shrank, and knew that he had gone out to find Lan Xian'er. Most of the time Zhu Yuanzhang found out, so he hurriedly came up and asked:

"Brother, are you angry?"

Zhu Biao shook his head and said:

"That's not."

Then he lowered his voice and said:

"But my father already knows the fact that you are hiding in the golden house outside. If you should confess, then you will confess."

朱启一愣,这徐达可是朱元璋的老战友了,自己马上要娶徐妙云,这时候金屋藏娇要是被徐达知道,徐达怕不是要扒了自己皮,也不知道朱元璋会不会为此事揍自己啊.

Zhu Di asked behind him:

"Brother, third brother, what are you talking about?"

Zhu Biao turned around and waved his hand:

"Nothing, nothing, don't ask so much for kids."

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he reminded the two of them to go in and take their seats quickly, and then left in a hurry. Zhu Qidao frowned and replied:

"My father found out about me going out to find a woman."

Zhu Di said exaggeratedly with an expression like "Look at what I said.jpg":

"Right, the guards around my father are getting more and more powerful! It's so scary."
