Chapter Eighty-Seven: Portraits

Seeing that Zheng Sui finally put down his pen, the maidservants in the room suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside, the sun has turned west, and the omission of the pot has pointed to the end of the Shen hour, and after careful calculation, it has been four hours since the end of the morning hour.

On the silk silk is a picture of a beauty, extremely beautiful, other maids may only feel familiar with the eyebrows and eyes, but Cai Fu can see it at a glance, but, there is a slight difference, the beauty on this painting is obviously more immature than the beauty in the Xuanhua Garden of Cuifu in Pingcheng.

I just looked at Zheng Sui holding the silk silk, looked at it for a long time, and then handed it to Baicao on the side, "Frame this picture." ”

Baicao replied and took it with both hands.

Cai Fu was about to speak, but unexpectedly saw Zheng Sui pick up the brush again, while dipping the ink, he ordered, "Cai Fu, take another piece of silk." ”

"Little lady. Cai Fu was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly shouted, "The little lady has been painting for so long, it is better to rest for a while, eat something and paint again." ”

"I'm not hungry. ”

"The thirteen ladies are here, and the little lady should accompany the thirteen ladies for a meal. ”

"Sister-in-law?" Zheng Sui raised his head and looked at Cai Fu with a surprised face, "When will Sister-in-law come over, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I came here at the beginning of the afternoon. ”

"When is it now?" Zheng Sui looked at the half-hidden rhombic window, this study sits west and faces east, the sunlight can shine into the room in the morning, and in the afternoon, there is no sunlight, at this moment, I can only look through the window, looking at the atrium from afar, the golden sunlight stretches the shadow of the tree long.

"It's already the end of the hour, and the thirteen ladies came to have dinner with the little lady, but they just saw that the little lady had been busy, and she didn't disturb the little lady, waiting in the tea room next door. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Sui hurriedly put the pen on the water jade pen grid, "Since my sister-in-law is here, you should sue me." As he spoke, he hurriedly got off the chair and walked out, moving very quickly, so that Cai Fu couldn't help but hurriedly follow, and shouted slower in the back.

Zheng Sui turned a deaf ear, and did not let the maid support him, and almost trotted to the tea room next door.

The servant woman guarding the door, seeing Zheng Sui rushing over, hurriedly raised the felt curtain, but she supported Zheng Sui, "The little lady is here." ”

Zheng Sui looked up, saw that it was Concubine Li, and called out to her mother-in-law, "I'm here to see my sister-in-law." As he spoke, he stepped in by himself and did not let Li Yu hold him.

Li Shi, who was sitting in the tea room, had already heard the movement outside, and as soon as he looked up and saw Zheng Sui, he ran straight in, got up busily, took a few steps forward, and grabbed Zheng Sui's shoulder, "Slow down, your legs are just right, how can you run, even if you walk alone, you should be slower." ”

"Sister-in-law. Zheng Sui reached out and hugged Li's arm, "I'm fine." ”

Saying that, he looked up at Li, "When my sister-in-law came, why didn't you say anything?"

"I saw that you were so serious, so I didn't bother. Li stretched out his hand to hug Zheng Sui, but let Zheng Sui break free, and now her sister-in-law has a big belly, she doesn't dare to let her sister-in-law hug her.

Li didn't force it, took Zheng Sui to sit down on the couch, and asked, "That beauty picture has been painted?"

Zheng Sui heard Li mention it, and hummed softly, and his feelings fell down suddenly, leaning on Li's arms, "The painting is finished." ”

When Li saw it, he didn't ask anything, but smiled: "I've been waiting for you, I haven't eaten yet, I'm a little hungry, it's good for Xixi to accompany my sister-in-law to have a meal first." ”

At this time?

Zheng Suichu was stunned for a moment, how could there be anything he didn't understand, so he nodded.

Li instructed Shi Lan to pass the rice.

Actually, this meal has been heated many times.

After the aunt and sister-in-law finished the meal, Li saw that Zheng Sui was really eating with her, and he didn't eat much, and after the meal was withdrawn, Li asked Zheng Sui who was painting the beautiful picture.

Zheng Sui asked Cai Fu to go to Baicao and bring the painting.

Li Shi first saw it, her heart was shocked, although she had not seen the aunt (mother-in-law) and her person, but she had seen the painting scroll in the Dalang Zheng Jing, this is obviously the portrait of the aunt, all of a sudden, I was puzzled, although there is a mother and daughter nature in the world, but Zheng Sui lost her mother since she was a child, she and Zheng Sui got along for more than half a year, never saw Zheng Sui mention half a sentence of Auntie, she does not think that the aunt who has been dead for ten years can make Zheng Sui have a longing idea.

Today is not a death day, nor is it an underworld, how could Zheng Sui suddenly paint a portrait of his aunt.

Thinking of this, Li looked at Zheng Sui beside him with a puzzled gaze, "This is a portrait of my aunt, but it is very similar." ”

"Sister-in-law. Zheng Sui quickly got up and stood in front of Li, "Sister-in-law, doesn't she feel like me?"

"Like you?" Li Shi looked at the picture again, shook his head, pulled Zheng Sui to stretch out, touched the hair on her head, and said with a smile: "Everyone says that Xixi Xiao looks like an aunt, maybe in a few years, when we are Xixi and Xu, maybe at that time, there will really be no difference." ”

"I drew what I would look like when I grew up. Zheng Sui leaned on Li's arms and said in a muffled voice.

Li Shi was stunned when he heard this,

Then he suddenly laughed, "Xixi, I want to grow up quickly." Reaching out and gently pinching Zheng Sui's blown-up face, a little joke rose on his face.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Sui poked his head out of Li's arms, put on a straight face, and said seriously: "I want to grow up quickly." ”

The smile on Li's face froze for a moment, and he shouted Xixi.

I also heard Zheng Sui say: "I understand that there is a difference between men and women, and the book also said: for seven years, men and women do not eat together, but I grew up with my brother since I was a child, and my grandmother said that when I would not call Aye Aniang, I knew that I would call Brother A, and since I was a child, my brother took care of me and treated me very well, I thought that I could always be so close to my brother, and always be as ...... as I was when I was a child."

"But my brother has grown up, and I want to grow up sooner, and I can't be like before...... We all have to grow up. ”

The words behind were very low and intermittent, but Li Shi still heard clearly, looked down and saw that Zheng Sui's head had been buried in her arms, and she was unwilling to come out, and then there was a burst of wetness in her chest, Li sighed in her heart, so she held Zheng Sui's head with one hand, and caressed Zheng Sui's back with one hand, comforting Zheng Sui.

There would be occasional sobs in the house, and the servants all stayed outside and did not dare to enter, and even Zheng Wei came and invited him to the study, without reporting.

After a long time, Zheng Sui raised his head from Li's family, his eyes were red, and his eyelashes were as long as a feather fan, wet.

The placket on Li's chest was wet.
