Chapter 114: Quiet and Leisure
Half an hour later, the painting was finished. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Qin Yanwan put down the ink pen in her hand, turned her eyes, and saw Qin Su's ink and white drawing called "Aoshuang Picture" at a glance.
The plum fragrance is faint, the snow is dark, the proud snow and red plum of Dongqing Villa, to Qin Su's pen, it has become a cold plum under the moon, and the shadow is alone, no matter how you look at it, you have lost that scorching and proud, but there is a little more cold, if you look closely, there is still a trace of gloom in the cold cliff, which is simply chilling.
Qin Yanwan stared at the painting, and her expression became very strange.
"This painting ...... Why is it called 'Aoshuang'?" she asked softly, after a long silence.
The painting in front of me is cold, and it is said that Leng Mei is similar, but it has nothing to do with the word "proud".
Qin Su glanced at Qin Yanwan strangely, stretched out his arm as a matter of course, pointed to the red plum tree and said, "This plum blossom is proud of the shore, shouldn't it be called 'Aoshuang'?"
Qin Yanwan opened her mouth, as if she had nothing to say, but after a breath, her open mouth closed again.
The sixth sister is right. She said softly, reaching out and stroking Qin Su's bun.
Qin Su couldn't avoid it, so he had to sigh resignedly.
The second sister of her family, knowledge, temperament, and heart, are all good, but she has a different hobby for the pair of girls on the top of her sister's head.
Fortunately, she is not Qin Yanrou yet, that little girl is not only a girl, but also her face is often poisoned, which is really pitiful.
At this time, it was almost noon, and it was going to be lunch soon, Qin Su was not good to stay in Dongqing Villa, and after packing up his painting tools, he said goodbye to Qin Yanwan and took Ah Kui's hand back to Dongli.
Ah Li hasn't come back yet.
Fortunately, Feng Yu and Ah Gu are not there in the past few days, only one is beautiful, and at this time, I don't know where to go to wander, Qin Su went back to the house and no one asked, she was also happy and relaxed.
After sending Ah Kui away, Qin Su turned back to Xijijian alone, rolled up the newly painted painting, threw it into the painting tube, and then cleaned up the brush and ink again.
Her mind was quiet as she did this.
Such tranquility was hard to imagine in previous lives.
Perhaps, this is the so-called quiet years and stable present world. She thought to herself, a little dazed, and the movements in her hand gradually stopped.
Enjoying flowers and painting with family, chatting and laughing with sisters, setting up a fine carbon wind stove under the corridor on a cold winter afternoon, warming a cup of spring equinox rain, watching a courtyard of snow and red plums, no calculation and planning, everything is natural and simple, like the rotation of the four seasons, without spending half a thought.
How leisurely are these days?
This thought floated up for a moment, and Qin Su laughed to himself.
Under the half-light and half-dark halo, her smile seemed to be smoked by the warmth of the room, and before she could reach the bottom of her eyes, it had already dissipated.
It's just half a day, and she has so many unrealistic ideas that she should really be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, so that the yin wind there will blow and wake up her cowardly thoughts in her head.
A smile welled up on her lips, faintly, as if a gust of wind could blow it away. Then she shook her head and continued to pack up her belongings.
When Ah Li lifted the curtain and entered the room, Qin Su was lying on the big case by the window, casually flipping through the book in his hand, and his mood was relaxed. There was a bronze incense burner on the desk, and a faint fragrance filled the room.
Ah Li held his breath and slowed down and walked over. Her movements brought a gust of wind, and the straight green smoke slanted to the side.
"Are you back?" Qin Su raised his eyes from the scroll, looked at Ah Li, and glanced out of the curtain again, and said in a slight voice: "Did you hear anything?"
Ah Li's face was a little heavy, and he shook his head and said, "No." I only know that my wife returned early in the morning, and she didn't look unusual. Mrs. Gu has not come out yet. ā
"Didn't come out?" Qin Su closed the book in his hand, his eyes under his bangs were as dark as night, and he didn't see half of the light: "You have been staying for so long? What happened?" seemed to ask himself and others.
Ah Li lowered her voice and said: "The girl forgives me, I didn't ask what happened, I just heard Ah Hua say that Mrs. Gu is afraid that she will have to use lunch before returning, and I am afraid that the girl will be in a hurry, so I will come back first." As she spoke, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, thinking that she had come to this road in a hurry.
Qin Su's heart sank slightly.
According to the customs of Chen Guo, when a married girl returns to her parents' house in the first lunar month, she generally does not need to have lunch, but Qin Shifang stays to eat.
What the hell is going on?
It's just a matter of breaking the customs, with Qin Shifang's state of mind at the moment, she shouldn't be like this.
Qin Su had already heard that Zuo Sikuang saved He Duwei's life in a neighboring county, so he was appreciated by the peak, and now the He family and the Zuo family are getting closer. And Qin Shifang has made such a great achievement, with her infatuation with Zuo Sikuang, she should be entangled with him for a long time, how can she go back to her parents' house and not leave?
"Did you really hear anything?" Qin Su stretched out a finger and tapped it lightly on the scroll, asking in a soft voice.
Ah Li took two steps forward and lowered his voice: "When I passed, the door of the main room was closed very tightly, and Concubine Jiang personally guarded it, and no one was allowed to approach. However, Ah Hua said that when she passed by the stairs, she seemed to hear a cry coming from the house, and she said that it was like the voice of Mrs. Gu. ā
Qin Su's heart immediately sank again.
Qin Shifang cried, why? What happened? Could it be that there was something wrong with the Zuo family?
She stared at the line of green smoke on the case, trying to think back to her past life.
In her memory, Qin Shifang would return to her parents' house on time on the eighth day of the first lunar month every year, and she was happy every time, never crying.
This is something that has not happened in a previous life.
Qin Su frowned and pondered, and did not speak for a long time.
Ah Li coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "I'll go to Ah Hua to talk to Ah Hua in a while and ask for clarification." ā
Qin Su pondered for a moment and shook his head: "That's it, you don't have to go anymore." Jiang Yu guards the door, you can go once, but it will be too conspicuous if you go twice. ā
Ah Li replied, tilted his head and thought about it again, and his eyes lit up: "Girl, do you want to ask Ah Sheng for help?"
Qin Su didn't speak, but sighed lightly, and leaned against the wall.
Ah Sheng couldn't help much, and as far as she knew, it wasn't his turn today, so calling him out plainly wouldn't make people suspicious.
She frowned and thought for a while, and Fang ordered softly: "Tomorrow/You go to find Zhu Xiu." Her family lives in Pear Blossom Lane outside the corner gate, so you don't have to take anything to see her, and by the way, ask about today's events. ā
"Yes, girl. Ah Li nodded, her big eyes bent up, "Sister Zhu Xiu must know more than Ah Hua." ā
Qin Su said "um", and told her again: "Avoid some people when you go, don't let people see it, but write it down." ā
Ah Li nodded solemnly. (To be continued.) )
