Zhong Jingren took his gaze back from the Fu powder, looked at Zhong, and asked, "Ah Yuan, in your opinion, what kind of person is Liuniang?"

Zhong was stunned by his question, and he didn't know how to reply for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhong Jingren loosened the curtain, held his hands, looked at a clay pot on the case, and said thoughtfully: "I always feel that Liuniang seems to be a little ......" He frowned, as if he was considering the words, and said after a while: "...... It's like a little ...... It's different, you probably didn't notice, she once peeked at me from the seat, and that look was quite evocative. ”

When Zhong Shi heard this, he immediately frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It's really ridiculous, relying on the last time I spoke in front of Aunt Taijun, my courage is getting bigger and bigger." Yu Ba shook his head, his expression quite disapproving.

"Oh, how can she speak in front of Mrs. Tai?" Zhong Jingren seemed to be interested, and asked, "How did she speak, and why did you never mention it to me?"

Zhong flicked his sleeves, his face was a little uncomfortable, his expression faded, and in a few words, he said Qin Su's generous statement in Dehui Hall, and said lightly: "...... For the sake of her ignorance and rudeness, it can be regarded as a crooked fight that has helped me, and I have not bothered with her about this matter. But I didn't want her to dare to peep at you, it turned out to be a loyal and traitorous insider, but I underestimated her. ”

"What a loyal traitor, the little sister is too talkative. Zhong Jingren laughed, but his eyes softened when he looked at Zhong, with a little doting, "You have been like this since you were a child, and you always like to think about things in the worst way." I think that Liu Niang may not have evil in her heart, and it is even more so when you look at her paintings. ”

"Painting?" As soon as his voice fell, Zhong Shi looked up in surprise, as if he didn't understand Zhong Jingren's words at all, and looked at him with wide eyes: "Liuniang's clumsy painting actually has a painting intention?"

She also took a look at that painting, and it was really redundant to look at it, and it was better to see it as a child's graffiti than a painting. Where does such a painting come from?

Zhong Jingren nodded solemnly, stroked his short hair with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Her painting is indeed not good, but the meaning in the painting is very different, and Erniang is not as good as her." ”

Zhong was so shocked that he even opened his mouth: "Is that so?"

Zhong Jingren bowed his head again and said thoughtfully: "If I only look at the painting, I will think that it is the handwriting of an old man from the vicissitudes of life, and Liu Niang is only more than ten years old. ”

Seeing that he said solemnly, Zhong Shi became more and more difficult to hide his surprise, and paused for a while before asking, "Eldest brother, what did you say...... Really?"

Zhong Jingren flicked his sleeves and said unhappily: "When did you see me joking with paintings?"

"That's not what I meant. Zhong hurriedly denied it with a smile, his expression slightly apologetic: "I just can't believe it." ”

Seeing that she was busy explaining, Zhong Jingren felt sorry for her little sister, so she slowed down her voice and said: "When Liuniang observed me before, her eyes were sharp and introverted, but when I looked back, she was well-behaved and timid. I was suspicious, so I asked to look at the painting. It is important to know that the painting is like the person, no matter how a person hides his heart, the painting cannot deceive people. ”

Zhong knew Zhong Jingren's ability, and he was still convinced of his statement, so he asked at this time: "That is the case, the eldest brother looks at people with paintings, can you know the heart of Liuniang?"

Zhong Jingren stroked the short beard under his chin again, and muttered for a while, before he said slowly: "Looking at it with the power of the pen, it is stoic and cold; After a pause, his face showed a little thoughtfulness, and he added another word: "Strange." ”

After saying this, Zhong Jingren was a little distracted, and he didn't speak for a while. Chung was also speechless.

It's been a long time since she's seen her eldest brother speak like this.

Even Qin Yanzhao and Zhong Jingren have always only used the words "Zhongping" and "Simple" to discuss painting, while Qin Yanwan's paintings only have the word "quiet".

But at this moment, he commented on Qin Su's painting in nine words, and the words were extremely heavy, which made Zhong Shi not only surprised, but also a little uncomfortable.

Her in-law's son is not as good as the outer room girl from the East Courtyard, even if the judge is his eldest brother, and the comments are not praised, the Zhong family is still inevitably unhappy.

Zhong Jingren glanced at her eyes, saw that her eyebrows and eyes were gloomy again, and he was very helpless, shook his head and persuaded: "What are you doing here? Why bother to take some small things to heart? It's just a concubine girl, and she is raised in the East Courtyard, whether her paintings are good or bad, and whether her heart is good or evil, she can't reach your West Courtyard after all." I just said a few more words on a whim, and you thought about it again. ”

Zhong's face softened a little when he heard this, and Zhong Jingren said again: "That little sister of Liuniang only looked at it from a distance. Compared with her, everything in the West Courtyard is more important, Erlang and Shiro are both good children with honest hearts, you, as a mother, should take care of it more, don't have anything else. I think Erlang is sometimes frivolous, you have to work harder on this, don't just focus on his knowledge, and you need to mention more in dealing with people. ”

His words are earnest, and they are all a heart of love. The Zhong family has always had a good relationship with this eldest brother, and at this moment he bowed his head and said, "That's right." The eldest brother said to my heart. ”

Zhong Jingren said again: "Also, didn't you say that you want to run a clan school? In my opinion, what the Qin family lacks now is the spirit of this book, no matter how many kilns are opened, no matter how famous Qin porcelain and Qin bricks are, it is not as good as a clan school that can stand up to the foundation. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Shi was reminded of his thoughts again, and sighed and said, "Isn't what the eldest brother said......? In the end, it's a little more difficult, even if the clan study is opened, where will you go to ask for a master?" her tone was a little gloomy, and her mood was depressed.

The Qin family's lintel is now so low, even if it really starts a family study, let alone a famous Confucian family, it is an ordinary master, and I am afraid that he will not want to be attached.

Hearing what the Zhong family said, Zhong Jingren didn't seem to care much, waved his sleeves and said, "What's so difficult about this? As long as the clan study is opened, you can always find the master." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "I want to persuade you, and you also need to persuade Mrs. Tai to learn from those so-called scholars, and go all out to invite any famous teachers to sit in the formation and give lectures." In my opinion, as long as you are down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and have a good character, you are a lonely and unknown child of the Han clan, and you can also be invited to be a master. The Qin family is already wealthy, and it should be cautious when selling its reputation and reputation. ”

Zhong nodded and sighed: "What the eldest brother said is very true, Ah Yuan has written it down." ”

Zhong Jingren said again: "I will also help to investigate secretly, if there is a suitable teacher, I will recommend it, and the little sister does not need to worry too much." ”

When Zhong heard this, the gloom between his eyebrows lightened, and he remembered Qin Yanzhao's academic affairs, so he sat opposite Zhong Jingren and told him about it, and the soft and peaceful voice came out from the curtains, adding a little warmth and peace to Xihuaju. (To be continued.) )
