Qin Hanzhen flipped through the paintings in the golden silk nan box one by one, all of which were painted of the Longfu temple fair, with all kinds of stalls selling things, all the juggling shows that had appeared, shops, houses and signboards on both sides of the street, as well as the panorama of Longfu Temple, and the scene of the blessing ceremony held in the vestibule of the temple.

The painting is not painted by one person, some painters have ordinary skills, and can only be said to have drawn a general appearance in vain, looking at the picture in the rough printed cottage embroidery statue sold on the street; some painters are slightly stronger, but the colors are not used well, and some lines are blurred, and it can be seen that they are using inferior pens and paints; some painters have reached the level of one of the best painters in the bookstore, with fine and smooth lines, gorgeous colors, and vivid characters; and some painters, how to look at the brushwork and skills, how to make Qin Hanzhen feel familiar, she recognized at a glance, it was Zhao Mo's own handwriting, and the paintings were Qianweiju, a group of them crowded forward in the crowd, and there were scenes of riding horses and carts on the road, passing by donkey meat burning shops.

There are more than 50 paintings here, all of which are the scenes of the Longfu Temple Fair drawn by Zhao Mo and other painters, and they are from the ninth day of the first lunar month. Qin Hanzhen had already guessed the reason why Zhao Mo gave her these paintings-

At the request of her grandmother, she was planning to draw a picture of the "Longfu Temple Meeting" with her heart, but she only walked around the temple fair for half a day, although she made notes in the small notebook, her mind first asked Zhao Mo, who was traveling with her, to divide three points, and after resting in Qianweiju, she asked Zhao Mo to discuss the conspiracy of King Ninghua with Qin Jian and took away the other three points. It's hard to get home and sketch again. She was busy for two days, but she just drew a rough distribution of the streets and houses, and then arranged the different shops and stalls according to her notes, and then recalled the appearance of each stall little by little according to her memory. Today's results are just calligraphy and painting stalls, lantern stalls and needle and thread brain stalls.

She has already made up her mind, and when Longfu Temple holds a temple fair in the future, she will run again, even ten or eight times, even if the various stalls and juggling will change every time the temple fair, it doesn't matter. She had to see the details so that she could draw them on paper later. She doesn't have to pursue the "truth" of a certain Longfu temple fair, as long as she can paint the scene lively, authentic, and worthy of her years of hard study. But Zhao Mo sent so many paintings at this time, which undoubtedly helped her a lot, saving her the trouble of running around.

Qin Hanzhen looked at those sketches happily, and couldn't help but remember that when he was in Jiangnan, Zhao Mo followed He Xin and others who were inspecting the industry, and went around Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Hangzhou and other places, and came back with a lot of sketches drawn on the road, many of which were street scenes. At that time, she worked with Zhao Mo to put together the paintings in the same place and repainted them into a complete Jiangnan street scene, and in the process, she didn't know how much effort it took to learn the painting skills of the predecessors, and how many local customs and customs were consulted, and strive to paint realistically, finely and restoreably.

After leaving Jiangnan, she and Zhao Mo lived in two separate places, and she couldn't stay in one place all day to paint like before, but she still retained the habit of sending a few paintings to Zhao Mo to see. Zhao Mo will also draw pictures of the landscapes, landscapes, people and buildings he has seen and swam in his spare time, and send them to her to see. She looked at those paintings, turned them into her own picture scrolls, imagined Zhao Mo's life in Suning, and felt that she had traveled with him in those landscapes.

And these paintings sent by Zhao Mo are not painted on them, aren't they the scenery she traveled with him?

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and smiled, carefully rolled up the sketches one by one, put them back neatly in the golden silk nan box, closed the lid of the box, hung the lock, and put the box on the side of the painting case with his own hands.

With these drawings as a reference, she is confident that she will be able to draw a picture of Longfu Temple, not simply copying other people's paintings, but treating other people's paintings as if they were photographs, drawing out the street scene in her memory, and then repainting it into a painting from her own perspective.

Zhao Mo spent so much effort for her, and prepared so many drawings in a short period of time, needless to say, it must be on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and another person was hired to sketch at the temple fair, and there were skilled painters among them, and the cost must be very expensive. And he was able to find time to paint four or five paintings in person in his busy schedule, which was really well-intentioned. She asked herself if she had learned painting in the past few years, and she still had some experience, how could she tolerate that she had failed Zhao Mo's mind and not painted a good painting?

She will definitely be ten or a hundred times more serious than her usual practice, and do her best to do her best!

In the next few days, Qin Hanzhen basically spent his time painting. In order to conceive a satisfactory sketch, she is busy in the studio every day, and only when she is tired and needs to rest, will she take the time to talk to her grandfather and grandmother, go to Chengenhou Mansion to chat with her cousins and cousins, and then pay attention to the news from Qin Jian and Zhao Mo.

There's no way, she's just a deep boudoir now, and she has too little access to outside information. Qin Jian had seen Yun Sanshao on the side, but he had only heard him complain about the second sister-in-law, Fourth Aunt Wang, for a long time, at most, it was a little provoking the other party to have a little more resentment and jealousy towards Fourth Aunt Wang, but he didn't know anything about Yun Shuai's next movements, whether he was in close contact with some clan disciples and some old people who had just returned to Beijing.

Zhao Mo disappeared for a few days. Originally, I made an appointment with Qin Hanzhen to watch the lanterns of the Lantern Festival together, and on the sixteenth day of the first month, I had to accompany her to go to all kinds of diseases, but he disappeared before and after the Lantern Festival, if it wasn't for the news that Ah Shou fed back, he was ordered by the prince to go out of Beijing to do business, everything went well, it is estimated that Qin Hanzhen would start to worry about his safety, right?

Originally, the scheduled date failed to go through, Qin Hanzhen was a little frustrated in his heart, but it was not good to show it in front of his grandfather and grandmother, so he had to pretend to be elated and accompany the second elder to enjoy the lanterns and eat supper. When she returned home, she looked at the pair of marquee lanterns that she bought for the occasion, and remembered the situation when she made marquee lanterns with Zhao Mo that year.

In fact, the marquee they made was more exquisite than the one she bought on the street, and even better than the pair she bought now. It's just that there is no Zhao Mo with her this year, and she can't lift her spirit to do it herself. But thinking that Zhao Mo was absent from the originally scheduled date, she always felt a little uncomfortable. Turning her head to look at the half-drawn sketch on the painting case, she was silent for a while, then pulled a blank piece of paper, polished the ink, dipped the pen, and began to draw the scene of tonight's lantern festival, as well as the teahouse she had visited, the lantern riddles she had guessed, and the supper she had eaten...... She thinks it would be interesting to make these paintings on the marquee, right? Zhao Mo was not there, so she went with her sisters. When I came back, I also painted it as a marquee. When Zhao Mo came back, he gave him a pair of lamps, so that he could also see the scenery she had seen.

Qin Hanzhen gradually became proficient in writing, and his heart calmed down. The golden silk nanmu box given by Zhao Mo was placed in her hand, and there was also a painting drawn by him in the box. With them by her side, it wasn't as lonely as she originally thought.

The days passed like this, and just after the twentieth day of the first month, there was a letter from Datong. The subordinate sent by the Niu family to Datong to spread the word reported a good news, which made the Niu family smile.

Xiao Feng is pregnant. It's been four months.

Xiao Feng has been married to Qin An for more than three years, and he has never been pregnant. At the beginning, Niu was worried, and asked a doctor to diagnose and treat her, and learned that she was still healthy, but she had been hard in the past few years, and she had lost some money. In the years when Xiao Feng kept filial piety, even her uncle had to bully their siblings, and it was understandable that she would suffer and suffer. Since she set up the Yongjiahou Mansion, the situation has improved greatly, and the patriarch of the Feng clan has not asked his wife and daughter-in-law to send her and her younger brother Feng Yuting good food and soup. The reason why after getting married, my health still seems a little bad, probably just because of the bitter summer and some unsuitable relationships. She went all the way from Jiangnan, and the road was also very bumpy, maybe she was tired.

After Niu's return to Beijing, he also sent people to send tonic medicine to Datong for his second daughter-in-law. Although Qin An already has the eldest son of Brother Qian, Brother Qian is now recorded as a concubine, and his background is still a little worse. Niu is a mother, how can she not look forward to her son having more sons and grandchildren? Although she is not too anxious, she is also anxious in her heart. Especially Xiao Feng is the daughter-in-law she personally selected, if she can't spread the branches for Qin An, wouldn't it seem that she picked the wrong person?

However, although Xiao Feng has not been able to get pregnant for a long time, as a daughter-in-law, she is really virtuous, and people have nowhere to find fault. She took care of Qin An's middle feed, raised her young daughter, and did everything thoroughly, even the favorite concubine of Jinhuan, she also acted according to the rules, without jealousy, nor connivance, full of everyone's demeanor. More than three years have passed, although Qin An is not as desperate for this wife as he was to the He family back then, but he also loves him a little, but he is a little estranged from Jinhuan, and often tells her not to be naughty, and to obey the second grandmother's orders if there is something. What Jinhuan thinks, everyone in Beijing doesn't know, but Qin Bai and Niu are quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law, but they are just worried about why she can't get pregnant.

Now that Xiao Feng is finally pregnant, how can Niu not be happy?

She asked the mother-in-law who was sent to Datong to deliver the message: "It's been four months, why didn't you send a letter to the family before?" If I had known a few years ago, Hou Ye and I would have been able to have a happier New Year! When I worship my ancestors on Chinese New Year's Eve, I can still give incense to the ancestors and ask them to bless my daughter-in-law and my children, mother and son safely!"

The mother-in-law said with a smile: "The fifth grandmother said that the fifth grandmother was busy with things outside the family a year ago, and she didn't notice that she had a body at all. Although she was a little unwell, the fifth grandmother thought it was because she was tired. It was on Chinese New Year's Eve, because the fifth master said that he wanted to eat fish, the fifth grandmother asked people to add a fish to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, who knew that she smelled the smell of the fish, and vomited it! After the sixth year of the first year, the fifth master personally went to ask the doctor to diagnose the pulse of the fifth grandmother, and it was determined that it was a happy pulse. It's just that I didn't know before, the fifth grandmother is tired, so the fetus is not very stable, and she still needs to recuperate. The fifth master immediately wrote a letter back to Beijing, and it was the fifth grandmother who said that it was not too late to wait until the fetus was completely stabilized, and then write a letter to report the good news. ”

Niu Shi said angrily: "This child is just too careful! How can something go wrong? She is in good health, she has never cut off the nourishing soup, and there are old adults like Mama Lu by her side...... "But thinking that Xiao Feng was four months pregnant, and when she was diagnosed, she was also three months old, and Mama Lu was serving by her side, and she didn't even notice it, is there any suspicion of dereliction of duty?"
