Compared to Su Rong, who felt that things had not been going well recently, Su Yan was very comfortable at his grandfather's house. After eating this day, he stayed in the peony garden early, just staring at the green dragon lying in the ink pool.

When Lu Ji came to the peony garden early in the morning, he saw a picturesque beauty. The national color and fragrance of the garden are not as good as the eyebrows and smiles of the girls in the flowers.

Qingyun and Lu Xue, who were guarding the side, saw Lu Ji and hurriedly reminded Su Yan quietly, "Shi Niang, Shi Lang Jun is here." ”

Su Yan looked up and saw a young man in a green shirt standing in the sun, smiling at her with flowers, and even the sun lost its color in this smile.

"Cousin."

"This is the homework left by the fifth uncle?" Lu Ji asked with a smile. He was also taught by his fifth uncle, and he has a deep understanding of his teaching methods.

"Hmm."

"What do you think of Shi Niang?"

"It's done."

"Would you like to draw one of them?"

"Okay."

The bookcase is opened, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, various colors of paint, one for each person. Su Yanxuan's familiar Xuan, Lu Ji used Shengxuan. The two of them looked at each other, and they both knew what to expect.

Su Yan is good at writing, just because of the relationship of time, she plans to draw a peony picture in vain. Lu Ji loves freehand and prefers large-scale landscapes, and due to time constraints, he only plans to paint sketches.

The two cousins were setting up a shelf in the peony garden, and someone over there had already reported Mrs. Lu and the Qin family.

Mrs. Lu threw the pen in his hand with great interest, asked someone to fetch water and wash his hands, intending to go and see the excitement. On the Qin family's side, Lu Ji's mother, Wu, was talking with her mother-in-law, frowning slightly when she heard the words. She quietly pointed out to her sister-in-law that she had taken a fancy to the daughter of the prince of Yasukuni, the seventh mother of the Su family. And I have already figured it out in my heart, how to tell my husband that I don't want my son to run into Shi Niang.

Thinking of Su Yan's beautiful little face, Wu was a little uneasy. Although she knew that her son had a better relationship with Su Qiniang, Su Yan was too beautiful, and men always preferred girls with good colors, and if her son really fell in love with Su Yan, it would be bad.

Speaking of which, she was really not dissatisfied with Su Yan, if it weren't for Qi Niang's comparison, the little girl would really be a good candidate. Especially when she stands with her son, she doesn't deserve it.

But marrying a wife and marrying virtue, Qi Niang's child was grown up by her, dignified and generous, gentle and considerate, and she was born beautiful. The little lady in the capital looked at it, and only the second mother of the Zhu family, who was in charge of the Hanlin Academy, could compare one or two. As for the other pearl of the imperial capital, in her opinion, it is far behind.

"Ah Jia, it's rare that Shi Niang and Shi Lang are interested, let's take a look." Wu said with a smile.

Qin's thoughts about his daughter-in-law also guessed a few points, and he had the heart to say a few words to her, thinking of his daughter's smiling eyes, he swallowed the words again. Come on, my daughter must be unwilling, so why should she be a villain.

"Let's go." Qin stood up.

Wu hurriedly came over to support her mother-in-law, "Among the little ladies of all the families in the capital, when it comes to painting art, the third lady of the Zhao Yushi family and the second lady of the Wuyi family are better, especially the third lady of the Zhao Yushi family, even the husband has praised it." ”

"But Ah Ji's bastard is very arrogant, and he doesn't look down on others at all. On that painting, the second lady of the Wuyi family almost cried. I don't know how Shi Niang's painting skills are, I may press that kid once, lest his eyes be above the top and no one will look down on him. Although Wu said that he was a son, everyone could hear the pride in his words.

Qin smiled faintly, "The old man said that Ah Shu has spirituality in calligraphy and painting, and it must not be worse than Ah Ji." ”

Wu laughed dryly, "Ah Weng's vision has always been accurate. "It's okay not to mention this, but at the mention of this, she is even more worried, and her feet can't help but speed up. Before the sister-in-law was favored at home, the daughter she gave birth to, her in-laws and husband were even more in the palm of her hand, if she married her daughter-in-law with an iron heart, she couldn't be scolded, and she couldn't marry back to an ancestor.

Mrs. Lu, who had a very accurate vision, was sitting in the pavilion with his feet crossed, holding a small teapot in his hand, and drinking without a sip.

In front of the flowers, boys and girls were immersed in painting, and it was clear that the peony was in front of them, but neither of them looked at it.

"Awn." Wu stepped forward to salute.

Qin sat down beside her husband, and Mrs. Lu asked with a smile, "I don't want to participate in your meditation." "His wife has recently had a deep affection for Buddhism, and she specially invited the Bodhisattva back to recite a sutra every day. And Lu Taifu is still a Confucian, and he still believes in Taoism more about Buddhism and Taoism. The two have different beliefs, and it is inevitable that they will quarrel. So when I saw my wife today, I laughed.

Qin glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Mrs. Lu was here, Wu was a little uncomfortable, and Qin said, "If you have something to do, you can go and go, you don't have to wait here." ”

"Yes." Wu blessed his body lightly, and before leaving, he instructed the maid to serve him well before taking people away.

Mrs. Lu admired the peonies in the garden, but said, "Look at how well our eleven lang and little aunt match, but it's a pity that there is no fate." ”

Qin said: "My daughter-in-law is unwilling, we can still force her." When the time comes, it will also hurt Ashu. ”

"That's it, not deaf, not dumb, not a housekeeper." Mrs. Lu waved his hand and said no more.

Qin's family was not very willing, "I don't know what the eldest daughter-in-law thinks, that Qi Niang is unwilling to be left behind, but Ah Ji and Shitu don't have much thought, and it's not a good thing to really get together reluctantly." ”

Mrs. Lu was very confident in his grandson, and said with a smile: "You have to believe in our Aji." ”

"Humph!"

Two quarters of an hour later, Lu Ji and Su Yan stopped one after another. The two held the painting and came to Mrs. Lu together, Lu Ji smiled and said, "Grandfather will look at my cousin's first." ”

Su Yan was also not polite, and put the painting into Lu Taifu's hand, but Lu Taifu didn't look at it, but asked Su Yan: "What does Ashu think of your painting?" ”

Su Yan said: "It's not good, I always feel that something is missing?" "Her time to watch the flowers is still short, and it will be better if she looks at it for two more days.

"What's missing?"

"The form has been obtained, but God has not seen it."

"It's good to know." Mrs. Lu stroked his beard with satisfaction and put Su Yan's painting aside.

Qin Shi glanced at it and said in surprise: "This is the Qinglong Lying Ink Pool?" ”

Su Yan nodded: "Yes." ”

Qin glanced at her husband, pulled Su Yan and said, "How well our aunt paints, I can know what the painting is at a glance, just like the peony blooming in front of me." ”

Su Yan smiled and asked, "Can my grandmother see when I painted the peony?" ”

"When?" The Qin clan was confused.

"I'm painting peonies in the morning." Su Yan pouted unconsciously, and her grandmother didn't even see it. Hey, she still can't get home.

Qin: "Is there any difference?" ”

Mrs. Lu said: "Of course there is." While saying that, he took his grandson's painting, but he also didn't look at it first, "Ah Ji, what about you?" ”

Lu Ji was a little ashamed, "My grandson has been too indulgent recently. "He is diligent and neglectful, and he has been practicing a lot less recently. Originally, I didn't think it was happening when I saw my cousin's painting.

Mrs. Lu said: "Within three months, you are not allowed to go out again." ”

"Yes."
