The sedan chair stopped on the avenue on the bank, about four or five feet away from the river.

Shen Mingyan watched the man jump onto the boat and leave the shore, and her heart became more and more anxious! Helplessly, Cai Qing was blocked in front of her, so she had to shout loudly: "Sister Qiao, wait!

Qiao Ziyue didn't stop the boat, but only shouted at Shen Mingyan: "Miss Shen, go back quickly, don't catch a cold!"

Shen Mingyan wanted to inquire about the name of the man in black, but stopped for a moment when she saw people coming and going on the avenue.

Since you know Qiao Ziyue, it's good to go back and send someone to inquire privately!

Thinking of this, Shen Mingyan only watched the boat gradually move away.

The man had already sat back in the cabin, and Shen Mingyan only stared at the cabin of the broken cloth, as if she wanted to look at the man more carefully through the cabin.

Cai Qing saw the melancholy look on his master's face and said slowly: "The cat is picking incense, don't worry, get on the sedan chair quickly." Your illness is just right, but what if you catch a cold again? No matter how you do, you can't joke with your body. ”

Cai Xiang stood on the bluestone steps by the river, which seemed to be the place where the man had jumped out of the boat just now.

The cat is picking incense.

Does it mean that Cai Xiang can see the person's appearance clearly?

Thinking of this, Shen Mingyan shouted: "Picking incense!"

Cai Xiang just turned around leisurely with the cat in her arms, in order to watch the boat more conveniently.

"Cai Xiang!" Cai Qing also shouted loudly: "The third girl called you!"

"Oh!" Cai Xiang hugged the cat and ran to the sedan chair in three or two steps: "What's the matter with the third girl?"

Shen Mingyan had already been pressed into the sedan chair by Cai Qing, poked her head out of the small window and asked, "What does the son who gave you the cat look like?

Cai Qing had already instructed the little servant to lift the small sedan chair.

Cai Xiang hugged the cat and walked close to the sedan chair, and her slender eyes looked at the master with a smile: "Aren't you on the same boat, and you still ask me?"

"Speak quickly!"

Cai Xiang laughed loudly at the master: "It's beautiful!

"You two are enough!" Cai Qing said angrily: "In case I get sick again this time, how can I explain to the old lady!"

"Okay!" Cai Xiang ran a few steps away from the sedan chair: "What's the matter, go back and talk about it." ”

Changing clothes, bathing, ginger soup, tossing until noon, Shen Mingyan didn't have a chance to ask about the fragrance.

It wasn't until lunch was set up that Shen Mingyan saw Cai Xiang standing opposite her with a smile.

"Speak quickly!"

Seeing that the master was anxious, Cai Xiang sold Guan Zi more and more: "My third girl, you really lost a lot this time!"

"What's a good opinion? Better than Mr. Jimo?" Except for his father, Mr. Jimo is the most handsome man Shen Mingyan thinks. is not only young and handsome, but also rich in five cars, and his vision is not beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you are ruthless, it would be good to go on a study tour with him. It's just what to do with my mother

Cai Xiang didn't know that the master thought so much at once, but said with a smile: "It's a different good opinion." ”

"Gotcha!" Shen Mingyan slapped the table and picked up the chopsticks: "Don't do anything today, draw it for me!"

"Ah" Cai Xiang opened her mouth wide for a while, and soon pouted again: "Third girl, you know that the slave can't draw." ”

"Then you describe it, I'll paint it!" Shen Mingyan had already taken a big gulp.

"Good!"

"What did he tell you?"

"It's nothing, just a word, take care of the cat!"

"What expression?"

"No expression! I didn't even lift my eyelids!"

“”

After the meal, Shen Ming sent someone to set up a large round table under the magnolia flowers in front of the room.

Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are readily available.

Looking at the thick pile of rice paper on the table, Cai Xiang smiled in a low voice at Cai Qing: "The old problem has been made again." I just can't see how good others look. ”

Cai Qing put the teacup on the side of the table and whispered, "You can describe it more carefully later." Don't draw it in a moment. In a few days, Aunt Mo Li will take her to learn tea art. ”

Cai Xiang smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, there is no one she can't draw in three or five days." ”

"What are you talking about?" Shen Mingyan, who was stretching her waist, walked out of the boudoir.

Cai Xiang greeted him with a smile: "Said that you want to paint the son." ”

"By the way, did you send someone to Qiaojia Village to inquire?" Shen Mingyan said and had already come to the round table.

"Go, I guess the results will be in the evening. Cai Xiang smiled and slowly studied the ink: "The slave maid should tell you about the son first." ”

In order to paint, Shen Mingyan deliberately changed into a skirt with narrow sleeves. The snow-white skirt makes Shen Ming's cheeks look like peach blossoms, and her eyes are like autumn water. Because her hair has not yet dried, she is scattered, her black and shiny hair hangs down to her knees, and her white clothes and black hair make Shen Mingyan's whole person look full of fairy spirit.

Not far away, the dark green and shiny magnolia leaves are also stretched in the sun, and the magnolia flowers are as white as jade.

The fragrance is refreshing, Shen Mingyan picked up the pen, faced the snow-white rice paper, and didn't put down the pen for a long time: "Pick incense and talk about it, what is a good opinion?"

Cai Xiang squinted her slender eyes and said leisurely: "Well, let me think about it!"

"It should be a slender face"

"The nose is very straight"

"Eyes! It's those eyes that will never be forgotten."

"Well, and lips"

"Well, the lips are a bit similar to Mr. Jimo, but different"

"No! It's not like you drew it."

Cai Qing half snuggled in front of the door, looking at the two people under the shade of the flowers, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

Miao Miao paced to the front of the room, and Cai Qing waved silently to Miao Miao.

Miao Miao jumped in front of Cai Qing obediently.

Cai Qing squatted down, gently stroked Miao Miao's head, and stretched out her finger to Shen Mingyan, who was bowing her head to paint.

Miao Miao squinted her eyes and looked at Shen Mingyan, seeing that she didn't look at herself, she was bold and approached Shen Mingyan step by step.

"No, your eyes should be bigger," Cai Xiang said, seeing Miao Miao coming, she stretched out her hand and slowly knocked on the inkstone.

Miao Miao seemed to be greatly encouraged, and jumped onto the table, one of her front paws stuck in the freshly ground ink.

Shen Mingyan was painting, and when she saw that the white cat was already close at hand, she couldn't help shouting, "Go down!"

Miao Miao saw Shen Mingyan glaring at her angrily and didn't show weakness, so she scratched her claw at Shen Mingyan's right arm and jumped to the magnolia tree not far away.

Cai Xiang stared at the huge black paw print on Shen Mingyan's snow-white sleeves and said loudly: "Oh, this cat is too much, even the girl's skirt is dirty." ”

Shen Mingyan looked at the portrait of the cat that was out of shape, held the pen, squinted at the white mass of flowers and trees, gritted her teeth and said: "Let you be proud for a few more days! This is your own fault, don't blame me!"

Cai Xiang said nervously: "Third girl, what are you going to do?"

"Give it away!" Shen Mingyan said, no longer looking at the cat, changing the rice paper again, and lowering her head to draw again.

"To whom?"

Shen Mingyan angrily pouted at the black outline on the paper: "He!"

"This is what the master gave you!"

"Give me and it's mine! Don't interrupt, where did you just go? What do lips look like?"

"Angular ones are thicker"
