The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and in the blink of an eye, it's the height of summer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ning Jinyun counted the days, there were less than five days before her grandmother's birthday, and she had to prepare the birthday ceremony before her grandmother's birthday.

She can be a female celebrity, but she is not good at calligraphy, but she is not proficient enough, after thinking about it, Ning Jinyun is still more confident in her painting skills, so she plans to give her grandmother a picture of her own pine age crane longevity.

In this painting, there will be pine, crane, and Ganoderma lucidum, all of which imply longevity, and the combination of the three is the longevity of the pine crane, which contains a good meaning of longevity and longevity than Nanshan.

"Pothos, go and bring me my paintbrush and colored ink, and then get me a piece of drawing paper that is four feet long and three feet wide." Ning Jinyun sat at the Nanmu Eight Immortals Table and commanded the green pothos.

"Yes, miss, the slave will go and prepare."

After the pothos left, there were only two people left in the house, Ning Jinyun and Qingyun, at this time, Ning Jinyun turned around and suddenly asked, "Qingyun, how did that thing go?" ”

Qingyun nodded and said, "Don't worry, Miss, when the slave met Xiao Tao today, she had already told her everything, with her kind of temperament that can't hide her words, she must be able to talk to the old lady, as for whether the old lady doesn't believe it, it's hard to say." ”

Xiao Tao is the maid next to Mrs. Ning, she is only thirteen years old, she is honest and has no heart, she has always said whatever she wants, the old lady likes her character, so she kept her by her side. Although Xiao Tao is not as important as Yuhuan, Mrs. Ning is more reused, but Mrs. Ning is more at ease with her.

Ning Jinyun said thoughtfully, "Xiao Tao's eyes are straight, she will never lie deliberately, as long as it comes out of her mouth, it is impossible for grandmother not to believe it, as long as she talks to her grandmother, grandmother will be suspicious of Yuhuan, and when the time comes, she will find out." By the way, how is the hairpin prepared? ”

"The slave maid has already bought the same pair of silver hairpins as Aunt Zhao, and last night when Yuhuan was away, she had put them into a purple box on her table, and she shouldn't usually use the makeup box, and she won't find more pairs of hairpins." Qingyun knew the situation in Yuhuan's house, and the last time Miss took her to search for things in Yuhuan, she remembered the makeup boxes on Yuhuan's table.

"That's enough, now everything is ready and only the east wind is owed, whether this plan can be achieved depends on my grandmother's attitude." Ning Jinyun made up his mind to drive away Yuhuan.

Qingyun has long been accustomed to Miss's abacus and strategies, she doesn't feel anything wrong, anyway, whether it is Aunt Li, Miss, Third Miss, or Yuhuan, none of them are good, they should have been rectified, Miss did this for self-preservation, and it was also for the Ning family.

After a while, the pothos came back, she spread the drawing paper on the table, and put the pen and ink aside, "Miss, look, is it okay to use these colors of ink?" If it is not enough, the slave will go and bring you some more. ”

Ning Jinyun looked down and shook his head slightly, "No need, these colors are enough, the pictures I want to draw are mainly dark and plain, and I can't use other colors that are too bright, so be it." ”

Songling Crane Shoutu is an atmospheric painting, the most difficult thing to paint is the posture and charm of the crane, Ning Jinyun pondered for a while before he was willing to write, and painted until the evening.

Before dinner, Aunt Wen also asked her about painting.

"Yun'er, can you complete this painting alone, my aunt knows that your painting skills are good, but after all, this is a birthday gift for the old lady, and you can't be sloppy."

Ning Jinyunfeng smiled lightly, "Auntie, I'm already halfway through this painting, although I don't know how to paint it, it doesn't matter, after all, my grandmother doesn't lack this painting, all I want is my heart, as long as my heart arrives." ”

She had no intention of pleasing her grandmother, and choosing to paint for her grandmother was just an errand for her, she just had to do her best, and as for whether the painting was good or not, her grandmother was not satisfied, so she didn't care much.

……

There is an enticing aroma wafting in the Qixiang Temple, light with a little strong fragrance. Soon, three maids came out of the small kitchen, each of them holding plates and bowls of different sizes, these were Mrs. Ning's dinner.

Mrs. Ning is quite particular about her diet, every meal requires proper meat and vegetables, coarse grains and fine grains should also be well matched, and soup rich in high nutrients is indispensable, so the small kitchen in Qixiang Courtyard is much larger than that in other courtyards, and there are more people to use.

After dinner was ready, the other maids withdrew, leaving Xiao Tao alone to serve by Mrs. Ning's side.

Mrs. Ning scooped a spoonful of yam pork rib soup, and sighed with satisfaction after drinking it, "This soup is boiled well today, it is very delicious, the taste is strong and not the slightest greasy, let the small kitchen make this tomorrow night." ”

Xiao Tao nodded after hearing this, and at the same time took a small dish of stewed mushrooms in oil and handed it to Mrs. Ning, "You can taste this again." ”

Old Mrs. Ning has a good appetite at the moment, and she is also full of praise for this mushroom.

Halfway through dinner, Xiao Tao suddenly remembered the things Qingyun told her in the morning, so she said to the old lady, "The slave maid listened to Sister Qingyun from the Red Peony Courtyard say that the last time she searched the house, Sister Yuhuan seemed to have made a fuss in the Red Peony Courtyard, played a lot of prestige, and took away several pieces of Aunt Wen's jewelry, and I don't know whether she robbed or stole it." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Ning was stunned for a moment, "Isn't Qingyun the big girl next to the second lady, does she mean that Yuhuan is unruly?" ”

"Yes, it seems that the second lady still has a lot of complaints about this. But for your sake, it's not easy for the second lady to make a big deal out of it. "Xiao Tao can say whatever she wants.

Old Mrs. Ning frowned, and the chopsticks in her hand stopped, "Isn't Yuhuan embarrassed me by doing this, she is a person from Qixiang Academy, if she does something unruly, then I have no way to teach." ”

In fact, this is not the first time that Mrs. Ning has heard that Yuhuan is bullying, but in the past, she just turned a blind eye.

Xiao Tao thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, Sister Qingyun also told me one thing, she said that the reason why Aunt Zhao came to steal the luminous cup last time was actually because of the instigation of Sister Yuhuan, Sister Yuhuan knew that Aunt Zhao was short of silver, so she came up with the idea to steal the luminous cup with Aunt Zhao. In fact, Sister Yuhuan doesn't want the glow-in-the-dark cup, she just wants Aunt Zhao to make mistakes, and she wants Aunt Zhao to be kicked out of the Ning family, so that the uncle will have one less aunt, then she will have a greater chance to make up for this lack and become another concubine of the uncle, Sister Yuhuan...... She wants to be Aunt Jade. ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Ning was very surprised, she never thought that the mastermind behind the theft of the luminous cup would be Yuhuan.
