When I came out of the palace, Concubine Liang gave me some jewelry, I asked Xiaoyun to take the jewelry, plus the monthly money I had accumulated on weekdays, there were also 100 silver, for the huge Thirteen Mansions, although this money is a drop in the bucket, but it can withstand a few days. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I picked a day when Yinci went out on an errand, and asked the carriage in the house to drive me to the thirteen houses.

When I arrived at the door of the thirteenth house, I found that the door of the house was closed, and there were some sundries outside the house, a bleak look, which was very different from the busy traffic in the past, I sighed, sighed indifferently, and gently knocked on the door, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came to open the door, saw me standing there, and said strangely: "Who is the girl looking for?"

I smiled: "Trouble the little brother to go back and say goodbye, I am from the Eighth Master's Mansion, called Yu Yan, and I came to visit the Thirteen Fujin today." ”

The boy looked at me suspiciously, and went back into the house. After a while, the boy returned, his face was already respectful, he saluted me, and said in a regular manner: "Our Fujin asked me to go back to Gege, saying that I am not in good health these days, and it is inconvenient to meet guests, thank you Gege for your kindness, and Fujin will come to visit Gege another day." ”

I was silent, it seems that she has already classified me into the Eighth Master Party, to a woman with backbone, I am afraid that she will not accept my help, I thought for a while, handed the package containing the money to the boy, and said softly: "Then I won't bother Fujin, but this package of things was asked by the fourth master to hand over the thirteenth Fujin on behalf of the fourth master, please accept the thirteenth Fujin, and I will return to the fourth master." ”

As soon as the boy heard that it was something that the fourth master let him give, he didn't shirk it, and accepted it, I turned around and was about to say goodbye, but I saw a person standing behind him in light blue clothes and a thin figure, it was the fourth master, I was a little embarrassed, after all, it was under his name without his knowledge, but he hit it, the boy saw him and hurriedly asked for peace, the fourth master glanced at the package with the corner of his eye, seemed to understand, and said to the boy: "You go back to Fujin first, I will go in later." The boy answered and left. I'm the only one left standing there, not walking, not walking.

The fourth master glanced at me and teased: "The name of the master, you can use it smoothly." Then he said: "It's rare that you have this heart, I have thanked the thirteenth brother first, and you don't have to worry about these things in the future, the thirteenth brother has me, as long as I have a bite to eat, Hengzhu will not let the people in his house starve." ”

I asked gloomily, "Still can't you see the Thirteenth Master?"

The fourth master frowned slightly: "Huang Ama is really angry this time, his words are ruthless, no one dares to let go, I have thought of many ways to no avail." ”

I persuaded: "The thirteenth master has a cheerful personality and will definitely explain himself, and the fourth master does not need to worry." ”

He glanced at me: "Since you have chosen the direction, you should stand firmer, you help this way, worry about that, how to let the people who are helped remember your position." ”

I was stunned, yes, no one can get rid of the relationship between the parties and stay alone, and I can't either, I am a person from the Eighth Master's Mansion, why should I always care about the opponent of the Eighth Master. I sneered: "The lesson of the fourth master is that Yu Yan will correct her position in the future." With that, he turned and walked away.

He said anxiously: "Stop, I can't talk about you yet, if I really draw a line with you, how can I let Hongli be close to you! ”

I felt that my tears were about to flow out, but I stubbornly refused to answer, and got into the carriage without looking back, and when I walked far away, I turned my head and could still see his thin figure, standing there.

After returning home, he found that Yinci had returned, and brought back a Westerner, about thirty years old, with a darker complexion, a kind face, and a medium stature.

When Yinci saw me coming, he smiled and said: "Where have you gone by yourself, and you don't bring anyone, let me introduce you to you, this is a Western painter, this time I made a special trip to paint the portraits of the ladies in the palace." ”

I casually prevaricated a few words back to him. I wasn't curious about foreigners, but everyone else in the house was scrambling to observe this blue-eyed, yellow-haired man, and I thought it was a bit unruly, so I dismissed everyone. After chatting with the painter, I found that he spoke Chinese very well, and looked at his works, I didn't know much about Western paintings, but I saw that the people and objects in the paintings seemed to have aura, and there was no sense of rigidity, and I couldn't help but like it very much.

At this time, Hongwang came running with Binqi, these two children must have come to see foreigners, they looked around the man curiously, and from time to time showed a look of study, the man also seemed to like these two children, and squeezed his eyes with them from time to time, making Binqi laugh. However, after all, they were children, and after a while the two of them lost interest in this Westerner, not just an eye, a nose and a mouth, but in turn, they became very interested in the Western artist's toolkit, and the painter was also very patient to show them all kinds of colors of ink and brushes, and use these colors to render objects of various shapes on the paper, all of which are very realistic. The two little ones were dumbfounded, and they thought the brush was a fairy stick in the fairy tale I told them, which could change a lot of things.

After demonstrating to them for a while, the painter handed the pen to them and encouraged them to paint by themselves, Binqi was generous, took the pen and scribbled it, Hongwang was a little shy at first, did not dare to take it, and also chose one with my encouragement. The two children were having a lot of fun, and a good piece of paper was now painted beyond recognition, and Yinci just looked at them and smiled indulgently.

The painter told them some simple painting methods, such as how to outline shapes, how to render colors, I don't know if they can understand, but after a while, Binqi drew an oval yellow object, and called it an egg, I can't see the appearance of an egg, because she doesn't know how to grasp the amount of ink, I can only see a cloud of yellow, so the painter praised this girl for her talent.

As soon as I had an idea, I said to Yinci: "Since the painter said that this child has aura, and they like this, it is better to let the two of them learn from the painter, so as to cultivate their temperament." ”

After listening to this, Yin Xi nodded: "This is very good, so that the two children can know how to play." ”

On the same day, the apprenticeship ceremony was hastily held, and the Westerners did not pay attention to this, so the process of apprenticeship was simple, and the two of them offered a cup of tea to the painter and kowtowed.

After that, the painter painted in the palace during the day, and taught Hongwang and Binqi to paint at night, and I asked the painter to teach them some simple and common foreign languages by the way.

I didn't react for a moment: "What did you say? Why don't I remember?" )
