CHAPTER XIV
Mei Ru came back late these days, and after saying goodbye to Qiao's family, she hurriedly roared back to her room.
provoked Qiao's to poke her in the head, dissatisfied with the taste: "Xunxun is not close to her mother now, her eyes are like your aunt, and she can't wait to get into that paper." What's so good about it that makes you so concerned? ”
Mei Ruto smiled and said, "There is Yan Ruyu there." ”
"Just your poor mouth!" Qiao Shi hugged her tightly and said reluctantly: "It's good to follow, I suffered at your aunt's place, and I lost a lot of weight when I looked at it, and my mother was distressed." ”
If it was usual, where would Qiao's family be willing to let Mei Ru suffer this crime, and now it's not for this daughter's family affairs?
Who knew that Mei Ru completely got the point wrong, and when she heard Qiao's words, she exclaimed, "Yes", and hurriedly jumped up to look in the mirror.
I saw myself in the mirror, the originally baby fat cheeks disappeared somewhat, and the pair of gorgeous peach blossom eyes became more and more anxious, and the bridge of her nose was much higher, and even the tip of her chin that she dreamed of in her previous life showed a rudimentary shape.
Mei Ru was overjoyed, touched her face and turned around, grinning and smirking; "Mother, I seem to have really lost weight."
"It's not good to lose weight, it's better to eat more." Qiao Shi admonished.
Mei Ru has lost weight now, and it is really because she eats less snacks at her usual time. Under Xiao Qiao's nose, there is no melon and fruit pastry to cushion her stomach, she often stands for several hours when she practices calligraphy, her legs hurt, her shoulders are sore, and she lets the maid pinch it every day when she comes back, why not lose weight?
What a bonus!
After sweeping herself in the glasses again, Mei Ru was very happy, and the mother and son said a lot of words, and Qiao Shi let her go back to the room.
Now the table in Meiru's boudoir is full of words she practiced.
In her previous life, in order to reconcile with Fu Zheng, a great talent, Mei Ru practiced hard for a long time, and finally it was eye-catching. But these times are different. Mei Ru practiced and practiced, and actually practiced something different - she was originally a person who loved beauty, and now in her eyes, that stroke is similar to jewelry and clothes, so smooth, so charming, a word pondered for a long time, very interesting.
Sometimes when I am in a better mood, I write a little playful, and sometimes when I see the falling wood, my mood is unconsciously focused.
The words that were originally extremely difficult to deal with were in her hands at this time, like pinching mud, and she could pinch out different looks according to Mei Ru's own mind. It doesn't always look good, but it's natural enough.
The more Mei Ru practiced, the more energetic she became, and she has recently become interested in painting.
I was in a hurry to go back to the room this day, just because I wanted to secretly try my skills.
As soon as the clinker was spread out and the pen and ink fell, Yichan picked up the curtain and came in and said, "Girl, the second girl and the fourth girl are here." ”
"Oh?" Mei Ru put down her pen and looked up, and saw Mei Qian leading Mei Ping in.
It was snowing outside, and their cloaks were covered with snow beads, and they were cold. Maids waited for them to take off their cloaks and serve hot tea and snacks. Mei Qian's face was a little pale from the cold, and she looked more and more pitiful, which made people feel distressed. Mei Ru hurriedly asked the maid to put the stove into her hand, and said uneasily: "It's snowing outside, it's freezing, why is the second sister here?" "If the ancestors knew about it, they would definitely be punished again.
Mei Qian replied: "The third sister is not in the house these days, and the fourth sister and I can't find anyone to talk to you." ”
Mei Ru smiled: "I go to my aunt's place on weekdays, and I ask my sister to forgive me, and the second sister should sit down." ”
Mei Qian didn't sit down, but walked to the table and picked up a painting of Mei Ru's words to read. After looking at it carefully for a long time, she said: "I can't tell where it is good, I just think that the third sister's words are much better, and when placed in one place, it has its own romantic meaning." ”
What does it mean? What's the Merry Method?
Sister Ping, who was hooked by this, was curious. She was originally eating pastries, but at this time she got up from the soft couch, leaned over to take a look, pouted and said sourly: "Isn't it because my aunt taught her well?" ”
"It was Yunlan who pointed out." Mei Ru corrected, "Auntie is not available." ”
"Lan'er has such good skills?" Mei Qian looked over. Mei Ru nodded naturally. Yun Lan pointed out once or twice, and she herself realized and practiced for a long time, but now she doesn't dare to take credit.
Mei Qian put down the words in her hand, lowered her eyes, and sighed to Mei Ru for a while: "I envy you." Sister Ping and I were in the house all day long, and the master we invited was just here to mix some silver, just perfunctory. Her voice was soft, pitiful.
Mei Ru naturally continued: "If the second sister wants to go, I will ask the ancestor tomorrow and we will go to my aunt together." ”
"Where is the ancestor willing to give up the second sister?" Sister Ping interjected.
Mei Ru was right when she thought about it, she stopped talking, and looked at Mei Qian again, but saw that her face was gloomy, and she was disappointed.
When she asked Xiao Qiao's to say goodbye the next day, Mei Ru suddenly thought of Sister Qian'er's heart last night, so she took the opportunity to mention to Xiao Qiao's family: "Auntie, my second sister also wants to come and learn from you." ”
Xiao Qiao's head was not raised, and he replied in a consistent tone: "I'm not a school or academy here, what are I doing accepting so many people?" As he spoke, he glanced at Mei Ru: "I'm too noisy with you, and if you have one more delicate sister, I'm really a Bodhisattva." ”
Mei Ru was secretly startled. Listening to her aunt's meaning, she didn't seem to like Sister Qian'er very much, she stuck out her tongue, and as soon as her mind swam out, the next moment, Xiao Qiao's threw back the painting she made last night!
This time, Xiao Qiao's didn't even bother to say a single ugly word.
Mei Ru only felt congested. Looking at the painting again and again, she secretly refused to convinc, is she really that bad?
……
In two days it will be the Winter Festival, the emperor will go to sacrifice, and every family will have to celebrate the festival.
Mei Ru didn't have to go to Mengfu Yingmao this day, she rarely had a good night's sleep, so she was too lazy to go to her mother's place.
The sister-in-law is already there, still quiet. Mei Ru hadn't spoken to the Dong family for a long time, and she didn't know how she and her eldest brother were doing, so it was not good to ask those words directly at this time, so she only secretly paid attention to her sister-in-law's expression. Seeing that her eyebrows were faint, and she was still disheartened, Mei Ru knew that her eldest brother was still the same old look. She couldn't help but be a little anxious, thinking to herself, should she mention to her mother again the matter of letting her brother go to the camp to practice?
Mei Ru pretended to be in her heart, and she kept thinking about how to talk to her mother, until she walked into Chunxi Hall, and she came back to her senses.
There was a burst of laughter inside, and the old lady hugged Mei Qian and had fun.
Seeing Mei Qian, Mei Ru was a little embarrassed. As for the reason, it was naturally my aunt's unkind words. Whenever she thought of her aunt's words, Mei Ru was inexplicable, a little weak-hearted, as if there was something that couldn't live with Sister Qian'er.
At this point, she couldn't help but start to be embarrassed again.
Mei Qian looked over with a smile and said, "Third sister, Miss Zhou's Fangchen will go over together later." ”
When she mentioned this, Mei Ru remembered that there was such a thing.
The Winter Festival happened to be Zhou Suqing's birthday, and she sent people to the various mansions early to make posts, and the second and third girls of the Dingguo Mansion received them needless to say. Because Mei Ru really didn't like this person, she was so excited that she didn't want to go, so she didn't take it to heart. Now after Mei Qian said it, she remembered it again.
Mei Ru frowned, and was about to find an excuse to refuse, when the old ancestor spoke: "The two sisters go together, it's lively." He added: "It's rare that Ah You's body is better, I want to go outside and walk around, follow your don't be too playful, take care of your second sister." ”
In this way, Mei Ru couldn't refuse, so she could only go to Naga Mansion with Mei Qian.
Mrs. He is an important minister in the court, there are students all over the world, and the sons under him are also in important positions, and the ancestors let the sisters and sons go, but they don't want to offend the He family.
Thinking of this layer of stakes, Mei Ru secretly said to herself, she had already offended Zhou Suqing several times, if the ancestors knew, she was afraid of using the family law to train her!
Let's say that the two sisters were sitting in the carriage, Mei Ru covered a hand stove, and quietly opened the curtain to look out.
Mei Qian sat on the other side, in a proper manner, and just asked Mei Ru with a smile: "Where is it now?" ”
Mei Ru looked at it and said the name of a place at the corner of the street.
Mei Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Third sister, I want to pick out a few danqing paintings before I go back to the house later, can you wait?" Do you want to send you home first? ”
As soon as Mei Ru heard the word "Danqing", she came to the spirit. She has been really disgusted by Xiao Qiao's family for the past two days, but this aunt is too lazy to say that she is not good, Mei Ru can only ask Meng Yunlan. But Yunlan is also a half-person in terms of painting attainments, and she can't say why.
At this time, Sister Qian'er's mention was in the middle of her arms, and Mei Ru nodded and said, "Second sister, it just so happens that I also want to go to the rise and gain knowledge, let's go together." ”
Mei Qian was slightly stunned, but still smiled: "That's the best." ”
