Chapter 12: Unease
(Thanks to only Qingdai for the God of Wealth money jar, the peach blossom fan that doesn't lose weight in summer, and the peach blossom fan of Xiao Xiao Mingming, Mo Da~)
When Sister-in-law Liu heard this, she turned to Aunt Li, Aunt Wei and the others: "Listen, I said it was not that simple. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Xiucai must have been taken to Lan'an County by Xiaoqing's girl to do something out of the ordinary, oops, it won't let our Tanglin Village be ashamed!"
Aunt Li replied to her: "I didn't hear that Su Xiucai and the stupid girl did anything out of the ordinary, so let's say they don't keep talking about painting."
You are just dogs and rats meddling, my old man and daughter are waiting for me at home, I will go back first"
Aunt Li glanced at them after speaking, and without waiting for Sister-in-law Liu's response, she left first.
"Bah!" Sister-in-law Liu stripped the figure of Aunt Li when she left, and spit on her: "Girl? Su Xiucai is not willing to marry a stupid girl than marry your daughter."
Sister-in-law Wei and Mother-in-law Wang looked at each other, bowed their heads and were silent, if it weren't for the fact that their family owed Brother Liu five taels of silver, they wouldn't be unable to raise their heads in front of Sister-in-law Liu.
The three women stayed outside the courtyard for a while, and saw that Su Jin and Yan Qing had finished eating, and the young couple went to their own businesses.
I felt that there was nothing to see, so I was willing to give up and go back to my own home.
Early the next morning, when Yan Qing went to the stream to wash her clothes, she always felt that Sister-in-law Liu, Sister-in-law Wei, and Mrs. Wang looked at her strangely.
It just felt that wherever she went, there were always people staring behind her, which made her feel a little uneasy.
She washed her clothes and went back, and when she thought of it, she told Su Jin about it.
Su Jin comforted her that she didn't have to care too much about the woman who was doing good, and in this way, Yan Qing left Sister-in-law Liu and the others behind.
The two had breakfast and discussed buying oil-paper umbrellas and folding fans on the way to Lan'an County.
When he arrived at Shu'an Street, Yan Qing first looked at a few oil-paper umbrella stalls and chose them, but because of the old-fashioned color and the lack of rich colors, he didn't see the fancy for a while.
However, Su Jin's words suddenly woke her up, whether it is bright or colorful, the painting is ink, as long as there are some decorations on the umbrella.
When you think about it this way, it is.
Since she didn't have to be selective, she quickly selected a few unique oil-paper umbrellas, and when her husband bought a folding fan, when the two entered Wenren Street, they saw that the guys in the teahouse had set up all the tables and stools for them.
"Yo!" The guys in the teahouse seemed to be looking forward to the two of them, and when they finally came, they happily greeted them and smiled: "Mr. Su and the girl are here."
Yan Qing looked at the young man who was particularly attentive today, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything urgent?"
"That's the case!" the guy said to Su Jin: "Our shopkeeper said, if Mr. Su is willing to paint two mangosteens in our teahouse, two paintings of tea guests talking and laughing, how about we use this table and stool for you for half a year?"
"Half a year?" Yan Qing frowned slightly, looking uneasy.
The guy looked at her honest smile, expected that the girl was not so good at talking, and looked at Su Jin again: "Then Mr. Su, in the past six months, we have given you six pots of tea every day for nothing, this tea money, we don't charge your silver, what do you think of it?"
"That's pretty much it!" Yan Qing said with a smile.
When Su Jin saw that the lady agreed, he also agreed, and promised to hand over four paintings within three days.
Sending off the young guys, they hurriedly opened a stall.
It's just that the hour is almost gone, and there are many wanderers coming and going in Wenren Street, but there are only a handful of painters who came to paint this morning.
Thanks to her, she also went to buy a few oil-paper umbrellas and folding fans.
Yan Qing fell asleep late last night, although in this dynasty where there is no network and no mobile phone computer, she has not changed the habit of staying up late for a while, and she accompanied her husband to study late at night last night.
She got up early this morning, she sat at the table with her head on her hands, and the bright warm sun shone on her body, and before she knew it, she fell into a state of drowsiness.
"Lady?" Su Jin finished drawing a stroke of the bamboo leaves on the mangosteen, ready to adjust the ink color, and when he looked at it, he saw that his lady was napping, and her head was almost planted on the table, which made the passers-by smile and couldn't help but smile.
"Lady?" he put down his pen and put his arms around her shoulders.
"Huh?" Yan Qing was awakened from the chaotic dream, squinting and looking around without finding the direction, she saw Su Jin's ridiculous handsome face in her eyes, and then she woke up.
"Husband?" Yan Qing stretched his waist and became more comfortable, seeing the chattering eyes of the wanderers on the street, he turned back to inquire about her, stood up fearlessly, took an oil-paper umbrella decorated with peonies, and said to Su Jin with a smile: "Why don't you wait for your husband to finish painting this mangosteen, and then come to make a secondary painting for his wife?"
Su Jin was happy, he adjusted the ink color and smiled: "In this way, the lady waits for a while, this mangosteen will be painted soon."
"Okay!" Yan Qing saw that her husband's serious painting appearance was simply handsome, she admired it a few times, and then thought about going to the teahouse to bring a pot of tea.
Helped her husband pour a cup of tea and brought it to him, just as Su Jin's first mangosteen painting was finished, he took it and drank the tea, and spread the scroll next to the signboard.
I really didn't expect that Su Jin originally wanted to dry the ink, but he didn't expect that this painting would suddenly attract many officials who watched the calligraphy and painting.
"Well drawn!" said the watcher.
"Yes, yes!" continued the other officer.
At this time, an old man in his sixties also came over, he took a closer look at the mangosteen painting, then stroked his beard and said: "Well, the bamboo painting is vigorous and powerful, and the knots and rods are just fused, I don't know how Mr. Su painted this mangosteen?"
Hearing this, Yan Qing smiled secretly in her heart, she saw that this old gentleman's paintings were all on the spot, and she thought she had met an old driver!
Su Jin got up and walked to him politely, looked at the old gentleman and looked at the mangosteen painting, and replied with a smile: "The rod becomes the first node, the thick ink must be distinct, the Yan Yang must be round and lively, and the branches are born from the knots, this is the key to painting bamboo."
"Well, Mr. Su is really good at his skills!" The old gentleman looked at the mangosteen painting carefully, and accidentally saw the signboard that said, "A self-portrait painting only charges ten yuan"
He looked at Su Jin for some reason and asked, "What is this?"
Su Jin smiled and replied: "This is Su Mou to support his family, painting a personal portrait of each painter, and charging ten cents per person, which makes the old gentleman smile."
"Hmm!" The old gentleman nodded in understanding, he didn't think there was anything in this, he smiled and said to Su Jin: "Then ask Mr. Su to draw a self-portrait for the old man!
"That's very good!" Su Jin immediately sat back on his seat and glanced at his lady.
Yan Qing understood that she was talking speculatively with her husband, and she was stunned when she was a woman who couldn't interject.
She chose a folding fan for the old gentleman, and was happily about to hand it to the old gentleman, when she raised her eyes and suddenly appeared in the line of sight, two sneaky faces of sister-in-law Liu and mother-in-law Wang.
She paused with the hand of the folding fan, and the uneasiness in her heart came back to her heart this morning.
