Chapter 22 Seeking Painting
The fourth prince looked at the backs of the sisters and was very surprised, what was the feeling of being disliked by others? The little eunuch who was following him couldn't help himself from laughing, why did he faintly feel a dark feeling?
The fourth prince seemed to feel a sense of schadenfreude rushing to his face, and glanced at the little eunuch beside him. What's the matter with this guy's face holding back a smile?
The little eunuch felt the strong murderous aura from the four princes, and immediately lowered his head and said respectfully, "Master, the old lady is still waiting for you." ”
"Hmm. The fourth prince grimaced, cleared his throat, and continued to walk forward.
Shen Miaolan couldn't help but turn around and saw his back when he turned to leave, and couldn't help but pout.
Shen Yilan frowned and looked her sister up and down, and asked, "Do you have any holiday with the fourth prince?"
"What's the holiday?" Shen Miaolan raised her eyebrows, "It's the first time we've met." ”
It stands to reason that this time is indeed the time when Miaolan and the Four Princes met for the first time. Miaolan almost fell down and was rescued by the fourth prince, which is also right. But it should have been love at first sight, why is the painting style wrong?
Shen Yilan was surprised for a long time, then looked at her sister intently. Yes, yes, since she was reborn, she always felt that something was wrong with her sister, and it didn't match the memory of her previous life. Thinking about it, she has also experienced life and death like her, and her temperament has changed.
Thinking of this, Yilan breathed a sigh of relief. If this is the case, presumably my sister will not have a deep love for the four princes like in her previous life, and finally died of injuries. She lives a new life, and she must protect the people around her and not repeat the mistakes of the past.
And the reason why Shen Miaolan saw the fourth prince have such a reaction was because Ya and her ex-boyfriend were almost the same. That scum came out of the new realm of the universe, causing her to suffer for many years. When she saw him, she just wanted to hide as far away as possible.
Miaolan remembered a lot of past events because she saw the "old man", and she was inevitably in a bad mood. So he called the lark and the cloud warbler to serve the pen and ink, and wanted to paint a picture to calm down. Here, the lark had just spread out the paper and flattened it with the paperweight of the seven sages of the bamboo forest carved in ivory, and someone outside spread the news that the three girls had arrived.
Shen Chunlan and the second lady went back to her grandfather Yongyi Houfu a few days ago, thinking that today she would go back to Ningyuan Houfu. Shen Miaolan walked out from behind the table inlaid with jade at the corners of rosewood, and it happened that Shen Chunlan personally picked out the apricot red embroidered curtain of the Eight Immortals across the sea and entered the door.
"Why don't you have more fire in this house, it's a little cold? Shen Chunlan took off the big red feather cloak on her body and handed it to the little girl behind her, while rubbing her hands that were frozen red.
Shen Miaolan had just returned to the house, and the fire had not yet lit. Naturally, it was a little cold in the house, which was troublesome to explain, and she didn't bother to say it. went up and grabbed Shen Chunlan's hand, "Third sister, warm it up with my hand first, and send someone to warm the hand stove for you." ”
Chunlan was shaken by Miaolan's hand, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. But the temperature from Miaolan's palm made her feel a little ironed. suppressed the unease in his heart, and followed Miaolan to sit down on the sour branch wood carved Arhat bed by the window. Tilting his head to look at the things on Miaolan's desk, he asked, "Are you painting?"
Miao Lan also followed her gaze and nodded, "Well, I have nothing to do, I want to paint a landscape." ”
Chunlan tilted her head, "You draw one for me." ”
It should be a matter of begging for someone, but the girl is in a commanding tone. It's so proud, no wonder it's always unpleasant. Miaolan complained in her heart, but according to her actual age, she could be her aunt, so she naturally didn't care about her. only asked, "What kind of painting does the third sister want?"
"Guanyin statue. Chunlan said, "A few days will be my aunt's birthday, and I want to give her a birthday gift." ”
Shen Chunlan's eldest aunt is Mrs. Yongyi Hou Shizi. Mrs. Yongyi Hou is sick on the bed all the year round, and she has little energy to take charge of the inner house. Chunlan's second wife is the second son and daughter of Yongyi, and she is a cousin with the son. Compared with the in-laws, cousins need to manage more if they want to have a good relationship. Chunlan's gift should actually be more considered, although Miaolan's painting is good, but in the end it is not from Chunlan's hand, and it will inevitably be a little insincere enough to send it out.
Shen Miaolan wanted to persuade Chunlan, but she felt that what she said was a bit like she didn't want to help. I just don't mention it. I only heard Chunlan say again, "My eldest aunt was born in the Zhenguo Mansion, and she has seen a lot of rare things since she was a child. She didn't even look at any strange objects. However, I did mention a few times that I liked your paintings. So, I thought I'd ask you to help me draw one. ”
When Mrs. Yongyi waited for the prince to be in the boudoir, the prince of Zhenguo once asked Danqing Guoshou to teach her to paint. Therefore, this lady's attainments in painting are among the few in the entire Great Qi Kingdom. Being praised by her made Shen Miaolan feel very honored. So he said politely, "Thanks to Mrs. Shizi's love, since Mrs. Miaolan's rough brushwork, I will draw one for my sister." ”
Shen Chunlan nodded, "Of course, I won't let you paint in vain." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and saw the little girl behind him dragging a rosewood black lacquer four-corner carved tray up.
On that tray was a coiled dragon graphite.
"This is the agarwood ink that my uncle brought back in Hangzhou a few days ago, don't look at it ordinary, but because of the special origin, the ink is fragrant. You have always loved to write, write and draw, so naturally you are very particular about pen and ink. This thing is just right for you. ”
This is a very famous Suzhou-Hangzhou agarwood ink, which took hundreds of years to come out of such a side, which is a very rare thing. Since ancient times, literati and writers have flocked to it. Shen Chunlan's gift is indeed not light.
Miao Lan hurriedly asked Yun Ying behind her to take the things and thanked her again and again. Because this gift is actually heavier than her paintings. For the sake of fairness, after Miaolan Tianren fought, he decided to kindly remind Chunlan.
"I wonder what Lady Shiko's birthday is?"
Chunlan thought for a moment and replied, "Eighteen next month." ”
"That's still a month. Miao Lan said, "Sister, why don't you send her something else?"
"One painting isn't enough?" Shen Chunlan pouted, obviously not wanting to bother with it anymore. You must know that when she came to Shen Miaolan to draw this idea, she thought about it for several days. She impatiently took the tea that had just come up and took a sip.
Shen Miaolan felt speechless when she looked at her. The second lady is such a strong person, but there is such a daughter who is not enterprising and lacks tendons, which is also a headache when you think about it.
