Brother Yu looked at the painting of the little niece in his hand, in fact, the painting was very rough, and he could barely see that it was a few people, because the head was round, and the body was a line, cough cough cough! But he understood the meaning she expressed at a glance, her father and mother took her hand to play in the garden, Yun Qi still had a drum in her belly, and there was a father next to her, Xue Jun painted herself very cute, with a loose skirt on her legs, and a little rabbit on the skirt, she could barely see that it was an animal, and the reason why she knew that it was a rabbit was because the rabbit embroidered on the skirt was embroidered by Qiao Lan herself, and she guessed it.

But why does my mother think it's good, is there more grass and flowers on the land?

Brother Yu really doesn't understand, it's better than his own painting?

Qiao Lan sighed, "You see, your paintings have not been recognized by your grandfather, because you have ignored the most important thing, that is, feelings, no matter how similar you are painting, you must have a communication with people, that is, feelings, my sunrise picture has no characters, but it has been recognized by everyone, why, because they see full of passion and love for their hometown from the painting." Xue Jun's painting is the same, he shows that he is excited and happy, and wants to tell me that she is very happy, you know, this is not the same thing as the image of the painting. ”

A good work can speak, it will make you directly and clearly feel the mind of the painter, and you can understand what he expresses, which is the impact and charm that a good painting brings you.

Brother Yu was silent, repeatedly comparing his failed works, he seemed to be really lacking emotion.

"Skill is not unimportant, but it is not the most important, sink your heart into it, Qian Niang is looking forward to your painting, not me, you know, this is love. Qiao Lan smiled and patted her son on the shoulder, and took a small shovel to tinker with flowers and plants again.

Brother Yu went back, he still had to go to the Hanlin Courtyard to go to the court, he couldn't stay in the farm every day, and he would often come to see his mother.

A few days later, Brother Yu came very excitedly, with an extra scroll of paintings in his hand, seeing Brother Yu's expression, Qiao Lan smiled, knowing that he understood.

"Mother, I drew it, I really drew it, I understood, I understood. Brother Yu was very excited, his face flushed, and he couldn't wait to show her the painting.

Qiao Lan unfolded the painting, which was painted under the begonia flower tree, Qian Niang's smiling movements and scenes, pavilions and pavilions reflected each other, the important thing is that the surprise and bright and beautiful light in Qian Niang's eyes are unforgettable, it seems to see the beloved, the happiness and joy are very clear, and you can understand it at a glance.

"Okay, good boy, you drew it so well, have you shown it to Qianniang?"

"Not yet, hehe! I want you to see it first. Brother Yu scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled.

"Good boy, you drew very well, go show it to Qianniang, she will definitely like it." Qiao Lan touched his head and nodded with a smile.

"Well, mother, aren't you going home?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, it's not that I miss you, and it's almost time to go and worship Grandpa Tai. ”

"I've got everything ready, just prepare what you want to show your grandpa and grandma yourself. ”

"I want to paint a picture of my grandfather, so that he can come and watch me grow. Brother Yu had some expectation and reminiscence in his eyes.

"Okay, how about drawing your favorite?"

"Hmm. ”

"Are you resting today?" Qiao Lan was helped into the house by Brother Yu.

"Well, I'll take a two-day break to see you, my father is still in the palace, and he said that he came down to see you today. Brother Yu explained the affairs of the family.

"Oh, is the court busy?" Qiao Lan knew that Chuanhu was still quite busy.

"The emperor still trusts his father, and often asks him to enter the palace to discuss matters, wanting to hear his father's opinion. ”

"Oh, then did you do well in the Hanlin Academy, did it go well? Did anyone exclude you, even if you did, you have to stick to it, and you will see the hearts of the people over time, but you must also prevent others from stumbling. It's always right to learn more, watch more, work harder, it doesn't matter if you do more, you can always learn a lot, don't be in a hurry to grab credit from others when you're young, your father, your uncle and your brother are all there, your future is indispensable, the important thing is stability. Qiao Lan carefully explained to her son.

"Well, I know, everyone is still good to me, I often bring food to eat with my colleagues, they are very face-saving, and they will guide me, mother, don't worry, I'm not so stupid, I like Hanlin Yuan, there are a lot of books, I can read and study quietly, I feel very good." ”

"Well, be careful not to overuse your eyes, be careful to be as dazzled as me, often get up and walk and rub your eyes to see the green trees, you know?"

"Well, got it. ”

Brother Yu obediently pinched his mother's shoulders and rubbed her back, coaxing Qiao Lanmei to smile, "Mother, I want to eat the fried noodles you made, I haven't eaten them for a long time." ”

"Okay, I'll give you fried sauce later, why do you both have the same taste, you take care of your father at home, don't let him stay up too late." ”

"You know, I will, he doesn't listen to me, he only listens to you, and he will discipline me as soon as I say it. Brother Yu pouted dissatisfiedly.

"Hehehe! What kind of training you when he likes you, he doesn't care about people if he doesn't want to see him, he is your father, you are almost not ashamed to set up a set, let him guide you, much stronger than my white skin, let your father scold two sentences, when I was a child, I hurt you the most, he just can't put down the shelf with a serious face, and he is happy how close you are to him. You entered the Hanlin Academy so smoothly, your father did a lot behind his back, he didn't know how to say it. Qiao Lan smiled and brought their father and son closer, and the intimacy between father and son in this era will be more serious.

"I know he hurts me, I poured him a glass of white water that day, and also disciplined me, obviously I was worried that he would be sleepy after drinking tea at night, okay, my mother will help me talk about him when I see my father. Brother Yu lay on Qiaolan's back and coquettishly.

"You, you draw a good picture for your father to see. ”

"Well, I didn't dare to show this to my father, I'm afraid he will scold me, hehe!" Brother Yu smirked mischievously.

"It's okay, he is more worried about this family than me, the Xu family has a strict family education, you are good at learning skills, learn more real skills while you are young, don't mess around with those literati and ink writers, you have to be able to clear yourself, don't embarrass your grandfather." Qiao Lan repeatedly warned her son not to learn from some unhealthy habits.

"Yes, mother, I know the severity, they don't do business all day long, get together to write pairs and write poems, what use can there be, criticize this and criticize that all day long, I don't have any achievements and no one looks down on them, I don't associate with them, my grandfather said, people who should refuse can't be ambiguous, the price of ambiguity is to throw yourself into the pit, you must have attitude, principles and bottom line, you can't go with the flow, I don't like them like that. ”

Brother Yu firmly stated his position, which made Qiao Lan very pleased.

"Well, your grandfather is right, you have also entered the officialdom, you must be more careful in your actions in the future, cherish your feathers, and your official reputation is sometimes more important than your life. Qiao Lan reminded her son earnestly.

"Yes, I know, my grandfather has reminded me more than once, and my father has repeatedly told me about the seriousness of this, if you don't do well, you will be impeached, I know that it is very important. Brother Yu said that he was down to business, and he didn't fight at all.
