Zhao Mo tilted his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong with my cousin?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled dryly and put down his fist: "It's okay, it's okay." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "This plan should be kept secret for the time being, so as not to release the word early, but in the end it didn't work, it would be too shameless." What's more, convincing one's grandparents also requires a little strategy.

Qin Hanzhen changed the topic: "Cousin Zhao, your painting is so wonderful, it's like a Jiangnan style painting." If you bind these drawings into a book, plus the text of the explanation, you can read them as a travelogue. ”

Zhao Mo heard Qin Hanzhen praise himself, and his face turned a little red: "My cousin has won the award, I don't dare to be it." I'm ...... At best, it's graffiti. It's all drawn casually, and it's not good at all. I just want you to see the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the street scenery of the buildings there, this is what it means, compared with the real scenery, it is far behind. If my cousin has a chance in the future, let's go and see for myself. After finishing speaking, I was a little apprehensive, worried that the third cousin would be sad when she heard this, because she was far less free than her own now, and she didn't want to go out to play, so she could go.

Qin Hanzhen was not as sensitive as he thought, but smiled: "This is not a famous painting, it is rare for my cousin to be able to paint all kinds of scenes, houses, and people so clearly." I've also seen one or two old paintings from my grandfather, which depict the common people in the market, but like you, at the same time, you draw so many people, houses, stalls, and livestock on a single piece of paper, which is really rare, and it is rare that you still draw so vividly, although the lines are simple, the character characteristics of the characters come out, the layout is well arranged, the priority is clear, and the details are not neglected. If you pick out all the parts of your painting in the same place, piece it together into a big picture, and then draw it a little more finely and better, it will be a rare masterpiece. Anyway, I don't think you're a bad drawer. ”

The smile on Zhao Mo's face couldn't be suppressed, but the tone of his voice was quite modest: "I'm embarrassed to say what my cousin said." My painting skills are mediocre, and these paintings are too rough because they were drawn in a hurry. I watched my cousin learn to draw with my uncle and grandfather, and I only studied it for two months, and it seems that I can draw even better than me. My cousin praised me so much, it really embarrassed me. ”

Qin Hanzhen waved his hand and said seriously: "I'm seeking truth from facts, but I don't mean to deliberately exaggerate, your painting is just a good painting." Although the lines are thick because it was drawn in a hurry, as long as you draw it slowly and revising it more carefully, the effect will definitely not be bad!" she thought for a moment, "or ...... Let's do this together in our spare time? I'll help you? I happen to be learning to draw lately, and I should be able to help with some simple patterns. I can also help polish the text of the description. ”

Zhao Mo painted these paintings just so that Qin Han could really see the scenery he saw, but he didn't expect her to propose to repaint all the paintings. He hesitated, then immediately decided to agree. If he can do one thing with Qin San's cousin, and it will take a long time and a lot of thought to do it well, why should he refuse?

He also said to Qin Hanzhen: "My cousin's proposal is really good, let's do it, and when the painting is finished, we will show it to my uncle and grandma." When we return to the capital in the future, we can also take out the paintings in our spare time and recall the scenery we saw in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "That's great, not only paintings, but also words, which is much more intuitive than just listening to you." Grandmother will definitely like it!" And as long as Niu likes it and says that he wants to travel, are you afraid that his grandfather will not agree?

The two agreed and immediately took action.

First of all, it is necessary to choose which small pictures need to be pieced together for a large picture, and then it is necessary to rearrange it, so that Zhao Mo can add details according to his memories. And because Qin Hanzhen learned painting, he hadn't learned figure painting yet, and Zhao Mo's figure painting was also very ordinary, so the two of them needed to secretly go through the painting scores given by Qin Bai, steal teachers from the demonstrations of those famous artists, and practice privately. Because they were afraid of asking Qin Bai to blame them, saying that they were not doing their jobs, they didn't dare to tell the elders.

Even Qin Jian didn't know because he was busy copying books.

However, it's kind of fun to sneak around and do one thing together. Qin Hanzhen felt the excitement that he hadn't seen for a long time, and Zhao Mo felt that life was more interesting.

When they practiced painting and discussed, Qin Hanzhen would often point to a small part of a certain painting to ask Zhao Mo about the details of reality. While reminiscing, Zhao Mo explained to her that slowly, he also told Qin Hanzhen everything he had experienced along the way. This trip can't be all fun and enjoyable, and there will be some things that aren't so pleasant. Zhao Mo didn't want the Qin family to worry, so he didn't say anything, but he couldn't hide it at this time.

However, his thoughts are a little different now. He began to feel that it seemed ...... for Qin Hanzhen to know his experiences and thoughts more clearly It's not a bad thing. Because Qin Hanzhen rarely has the same opinion as him, even if that opinion will make others feel a little shocking, he never dares to tell others easily, but Qin Hanzhen can always see the same thing as his hero. Isn't this tacit understanding gratifying?

For example, he once met a man who was a gambler and cruel, and in order to satisfy his gambling addiction, he was willing to sell his own children to others to do hard labor, just in exchange for a few taels of silver to "turn over". His wife and children wept and begged him to stop gambling, but he kicked his wife and left without looking back. This kind of human tragedy made him angry and self-harmed. He remembered his own experience and realized once again that not all fathers in the world cherish their children. There is always something that he will be willing to exchange for his own flesh and blood.

Zhao Mo thought at that time that if his gambling father had died earlier, maybe his family would have had a better life. It's just that he can't say this, so he can only silently order Ah Shou to send some silver over to help the mother who almost fainted crying to save her pair of children and prevent them from being reduced to slavery.

He also asked Ah Shou to quietly ask the mother and son if they were willing to live in other places? They have hands and feet, and they will not be unable to support themselves. When the time comes, they only need to be arranged to work in their own industry. But the mother refused, because she couldn't leave her husband, as well as her in-laws' family and her mother's family, the house that had been living in peace for more than ten years, and the chickens she secretly raised in her yard. She said that she had no money to return to her benefactor, but only to pray for her benefactor and bless her with peace and joy in this life.

Zhao Mo thought to himself, his peace and joy had never been prayed for by a strange village woman. He only relied on himself. He could help the woman once, but he couldn't help her for the rest of his life. Now that she had made her decision, he walked away silently.

When he told Qin Hanzhen about this, Qin Hanzhen was very angry. She said: "Can't this woman cheer up a little in order to protect her child? The rotten gambler is hopeless, and she should stop the loss in time! Since that man doesn't want children for gambling money, why do she and her children want him? If you can provide a new life for their mother and son, they should go with you." Not only get rid of the gamblers who will only lag behind, but also have a stable life and economic income, live a good life in the future, children can benefit, if you are willing to come back, you can also help other relatives. Even if you don't ask her to pay her back, at least, she has to come up with a more practical way to repay her kindness? Even if she is selfish and doesn't repay her kindness, she still has to think about what she and her children will do in the future, right? If her husband can sell her children for the first time, he can sell them for the second and third time! Can she meet a kind rich man to help her every time?!"

Qin Hanzhen was unhappy for him, and her hatred for the mother was not made of steel, but from beginning to end, she never said the words "filial piety is the most important", she didn't seem to think that the father was ruthless, but the children had to be unconditionally filial to their father, but felt that those children should leave the ruthless father. This made Zhao Mo feel much more confident.

For another example, when he passed through Songjiang with Zhou Changnian and He Xin, he found that the local muslin cloth was excellent, but the selling price was also very high. This kind of cloth has a special advantage compared with other cloths, that is, the dyed color is particularly pink. If you wash it once or twice in water, the color will be more pink and tender, but the fading will not be serious. Compared with the general brightly colored muslin, it can withstand pulp washing, and can be washed ten or eight times more before the color fades slightly. This is not a benefit that can be seen in a short period of time, and Zhao Mo only understood the truth because of fate.

The owner of the cloth was in urgent need of a large sum of money because of a sudden accident at home, but the money on hand was all on the goods, and he had to sell the goods as soon as possible, and he really did not have time to make the reputation of the new cloth out. Zhao Mo didn't hesitate for long at that time, and made the decision to take over. He had plenty of silver in his hand, and it was no problem for him to spend three thousand taels and eat everything. But the people around him advised him not to take risks, and if he liked the cloth, he could buy a few more horses and give them back. After all, he is a child of the clan, and he is not good at business, so it will seem that his status is low.

Qin Hanzhen listened to his narration, but said, "What's this? Just pick a clever person from your subordinates and do this deal in his name." Listening to what you said, this batch of cloth is a little less famous, but in fact, the quality is excellent, and the color is also very good. If you buy it for 3,000 taels, if you open a cloth shop and sell it slowly, the profit may be higher, but the return of funds will be a little slower, you can find a big shop with a good reputation, let the other party know the benefits of this cloth, and then set a higher price to sell it. Isn't it nice that you can make a fortune without having to go through the hassle of opening your own shop? What happened to the children of the clan? Don't the children of the clan have to eat? Those princes and nobles in the capital, who have no property? When the sea of business goes, they can only pretend to be high in the name of others. ”

The corners of Zhao Mo's mouth curled slightly, and he told Qin Hanzhen: "I really bought all that batch of cloth." When I came back, I had two entourages who didn't come back with me, so they were in charge of escorting the cloth. Ah Shou went out yesterday and went to the city to inquire about the cloth village for me, and I have found one, and the price has been negotiated. I will take advantage of the fact that there are many people going into the city to buy at the end of the year, and I will sell all this batch of cloth. ”

Qin Hanzhen's eyes lit up: "Ah, that's great! Cousin Zhao is rich, but he wants to have a treat." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Mo's mouth: "It must be, wherever you please, listen to your cousin!"
