Qin Hanzhen was not familiar with Pei Yin, only knew that she was one of the friends of his cousin Qin Jinhua.

These ladies and Qin Jinhua have known each other since childhood, and they had less contact when they were children, and they all followed the elders in the family to act behind them, and they didn't have much contact in private. In the past few years, they have grown up, but they have more personal contacts, and they will come to the Chengenhou Mansion from time to time as guests. Because Qin Hanzhen often goes out for a long time, that is, occasionally meets them in the long room, he can talk and laugh, and he is not familiar with them at all. Now she really wants to step into this circle, but she is still in a very shallow understanding of everyone's temperament and preferences.

Pei Yin is the concubine of Pei Guogong's Mansion, and she is the oldest among all the women, only slightly younger than Cai Yuanzhen and a few months older than Yu Xinlan. She was born beautiful, beautiful, and familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a well-known talented girl in the circle. Although it is slightly deficient compared to Cai Yuanzhen and Yu Xinlan, it is already very rare. She has a quiet personality, always gentle, and doesn't seem to be a bad-tempered person, and she gets along well with everyone.

Qin Hanzhen also knew that Pei Guogong's Mansion was said to be the Guogong Mansion, but in fact, there were no high-ranking officials and nobles in the family. Pei Yin's grandfather Pei Guogong used to be a powerful minister in the early days of the emperor's succession, and he was very prosperous for a few years, but he was getting old and in poor health, so he died twenty years ago, and then was paralyzed in bed for more than ten years. If it weren't for the emperor's occasional gifts, he would have been forgotten.

Pei Yin's father and uncles are mediocre in talent, and with his father's name, he was treated favorably by the emperor, and he made up the official in the sixth department. It is said that they also thought about going out, which can not only increase their qualifications, but also be able to hold the power of one party alone, which is much better than being a petty official in the six departments of the capital. Helplessly, the old father was seriously ill and bedridden, for the sake of filial piety, all the sons could not easily go out of Beijing, they could only nest in the six departments and continue to be the petty officials of the sesame mung bean. After a long time, they lost their motivation and felt that the days of eating and waiting for death were not bad. Anyway, there are a lot of industries in the Guogong Mansion, which is enough for them to have fine clothes and food for a lifetime.

Pei Guogong's Mansion can be said to be the success of Pei Guogong, and the defeat of Pei Guogong. Without Pei Guogong, they would not have the scenery of Guogong's Mansion in their home. But if it weren't for Pei Guogong's illness, the Pei family brothers might have had a better development in their careers, instead of messing around with low-grade officials and officials every day like now.

However, the Guogong Mansion is the Guogong Mansion, and the door is higher than the Chengenhou Mansion and the Yongjiahou Mansion. Although Pei Guogong is paralyzed, he is still the grandfather of the country. When he died, his eldest son inherited the title, and he was at least a marquis. The emperor and some old ministers still remember the friendship with Pei Guogong, and they will take care of the descendants of the Pei family. Strictly speaking, Qin Song, the Chengen Hou who lost his holy family and could only hide at home as an invisible person, and Qin Bai, the Marquis of Yongjia, who had never really entered the court and participated in politics, could only be a rich and idler at home, may not be comparable to the Pei family. Qin Hanzhen naturally didn't underestimate Pei Yin's thoughts.

Just look at Cai Yuanzhen, the eldest daughter of the powerful minister Yunyang Marquis, Yu Xinlan, the daughter of Shoushan Bo, who also holds real power, Tang Su, the granddaughter of King Qin, Zhang Shu, the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Shouyang, and Qin Jinhua, the granddaughter of Uncle Guo, all intersect with Pei Yin on an equal footing and treat each other with courtesy, so you know that Pei Yin's status in the circle of ladies has not been affected by her father's humble position and family decline.

Qin Hanzhen knew so much about Pei Yin, and now seeing the expression on her face, he was still a little depressed. But everyone is not familiar with each other, and she can't go up directly and ask why people are unhappy, so she can only pretend not to see it.

The girls sent the piano over, which Cai Yuanzhen was used to on weekdays, and lent it to Zhang Shu to play. Qin Jinhua tried the piano and felt that the piano was very good, so she also signed up to play a song as the content of the punishment - she had to be punished with Zhang Shu because Cai Yuanzhen changed the rules. The punishment suggested by cousin Qin Hanzhen was quite simple, and she didn't toss it anymore, so she simply played the piano like Zhang Shu.

Zhang Shu couldn't help but think in pieces: "You play better than me, doesn't it seem that I am not as good as others even playing the piano?" and asked Qin Hanzhen again, "Is the third sister of Qin also good at piano skills?"

Qin Hanzhen couldn't bear to hit this girl, so he said vaguely: "My piano skills are very average, and I can't handle them very well." Zhang Shu immediately felt relieved, and her mood became clear again.

Qin Hanzhen felt that although this girl was a little small-minded and angry at every turn, she was really easy to coax.

The girl who took the paintbrush and paint also came back, still using the few round tables in Xuanzhong, one paper and pen per person, and one paint and ink per table, which everyone shared. The women discussed, although they were in Meilin and the scenery was good, it was the most appropriate to paint Meilin, but considering that they gathered every year, in winter and spring, at least half of the poetry meetings were held in Meilin, and it was not that they had not painted the scenery of Meilin, which was really not new. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, I can't stand them painting and painting. Simply this time to come to something fresh, want to paint the plum forest is also done, but it doesn't matter if you don't paint, as long as there is a scene in this Qi garden, all kinds of flowers and plants, rockeries, pavilions, and even people, you can paint. As long as Zhang Shu finishes painting during the period when she plays the piece, it is within the scope of the rules.

Of course, when Zhang Shu plays, he must finish playing the whole song, and he can't play any small tricks, such as shortening the song or something, which will cause trouble for everyone. But if she had the strength to play the song back and forth twice, it would be fine. Although she probably didn't want to do it herself, she just planned to finish the play early, and get punished sooner, so that she could get out.

Zhang Shu's song is a new song for her, but for others, I haven't learned or heard it, and I am very familiar with it. However, there is an advantage of playing the piano, that is, even if they leave the open area and go elsewhere to look for the objects they paint, they will not worry about not knowing the time. Because the music is melodious, as long as it is not too far away, it can even be heard at the banquet.

Zhang Shu played the first note, and Pei Yin immediately began to draw. She painted exactly the Merlin she proposed, and she was skilful in brushwork, apparently very good at it. Yu Xinlan took the pen and paper unhurriedly, left Changxuan and walked out, not knowing what she was drawing.

Cai Yuanzhen took care of everyone to see who was missing something, and sent a girl to follow the girl who wanted to go out to find a sketching goal elsewhere, and took good care of her, so she returned to Xuanzhong and conceived her own paintings.

Qin Hanzhen stared at Changxuan in front of him, and felt that with Merlin as the background and Changxuan as the main body, it was also a good subject to draw the postures of several ladies in Xuan. She often sketches on the go, and this level of fast drawing is not much difficulty for her, and after a few brushstrokes, the outline is already on the paper. How to compose, how to write, how to color, how to deal with the details, she has a good idea, and she draws quickly and well.

When Yu Xinlan came back after a circle outside, she found that Cai Yuanzhen, Tang Su, and Qin Jinhua were all around Qin Hanzhen, and seemed to be watching her draw very seriously. Seeing this, Yu Xinlan also leaned over, and suddenly felt that her eyes lit up.

Qin Hanzhen had almost finished the painting at this time, her drawing lines were relatively concise, but everything that should be painted was painted, even the Merlin as the background, although it was a freehand technique, but it was also red, pink, white and white, branches, flowers, and falling red, there was no shortage of everything, which was very similar to the Merlin in the reality in front of him. Looking at the few girls in the Xuan again, the clothes and hairstyles worn by each of them can match their dresses today, and even their movements and postures seem to be able to identify who is who.

When Zhang Shuqin's sound ended, Qin Han really liked to point the facial features of the girl in the painting, and miraculously, she was so similar to herself.

Qin Hanzhen put down the pen, and Cai Yuanzhen couldn't help but admire: "The painting is so good! In such a short time, Qin San's sister not only completed the whole painting, but also painted the painting so well, which is really admirable! You are still modest in front of me, saying that your talent is mediocre." This is still called mediocre talent, so where can I still see people with my little talent?"

Tang Su and Qin Jinhua also nodded yes. Zhang Shu had been itching to come and see it for a long time, but she still had to take care of playing the piano and couldn't get out, but now that she could finally watch it, she immediately squeezed Tang Su away and leaned over, also admiring.

Pei Yin put down the paintbrush in her hand, walked over with a faint smile on her face, and also looked at Qin Hanzhen's painting several times. The more I looked, the tighter my lips became.

Yu Xinlan Zhengse said to Qin Hanzhen: "Although your poems are ordinary, this painting is really good." I couldn't do it, so I simply tore up my own paintings, and I didn't have to laugh and be generous. "I really want to tear up the sketch in my hand.

Qin Hanzhen was quick and quickly snatched it: "How can you tear it? As he spoke, he unfolded the scroll and found that Yu Xinlan's painting was not a plum blossom, but a rockery, with rugged mountains and rocks. Qin Hanzhen sighed: "This is a completely different style, and the painting is very good, it's a pity to tear it up." Sister Yu will make a payment, right? Just give it to me. "She always has a bad taste in terms of landscapes and strange rocks, and she is usually told by her grandfather.

Yu Xinlan looked at her and didn't say anything. Cai Yuanzhen took the painting from Qin Hanzhen's hand, and was also amazed, and then smiled: "Today's comparison of paintings, but I lost, but I am also convinced." She painted the traditional Merlin, because it was the scenery of her own garden, she was very familiar with it, and she usually practiced a lot, so she knew it as soon as she put it down, but at the same time, it lacked freshness.

She didn't finish her painting and stopped. When she saw Qin Hanzhen's painting, she felt that she had no hope of winning, so she simply didn't have to paint anymore.

Tang Su and Qin Jinhua are in the same situation, only Qin Hanzhen, Yu Xinlan and Pei Yin can complete the sketch in their hands today. It's just that the latter's paintings are also traditional plum blossom themes, and they are still a little worse than Cai Yuanzhen's unfinished plum lin, let alone compared with Qin Hanzhen and Yu Xinlan. Except for the unfinished painting, Pei Yin actually hung the back of the car. Her face suddenly became very ugly.

Next, it was Qin Jinhua's turn to play the music. The women put aside their previous poems and paintings, and finally had the leisure to enjoy her performance. Only Pei Yin always stood at the round table and stared at Qin Hanzhen and Yu Xinlan's paintings, looking back and forth endlessly, as if trying to find a flaw in them, but in the end, his face became more and more ugly.
