Linglong, who was still listening to the wind courtyard and painting seriously, didn't know about it at all, and it didn't take any effort to paint Liang Chenjing before, and he did it from beginning to end in one go.

Now I want to paint Liang Chenyu, thinking that this is to be given away, and I must draw it well, but it took more than half an hour, and I wasted several pieces of rice paper in a row, and I didn't even hook the outline, and what was even more depressing was that the carbon rod she used was not good, and it was broken for a while and thick for a while, or it was painted wrong and couldn't be erased.

Scrap one more! Linglong threw the carbon rod on the table in frustration, thinking that even if he had just started learning, the brush would be a long slip from thick to thin, let alone colored, this thing would not work!

It would be nice to get a decent charcoal pencil somewhere, it would be better to have an eraser, remember that the charcoal seems to be made of graphite, the texture is soft, and the hardness of lead is added to enhance reads;.

Lead is not easy to add, so it's good to use graphite to make charcoal first! Hey, isn't that a way to make money?

"Gui Ying! Gui Ying! Linglong shouted several times before seeing Mother Wu hurriedly come in.

"Miss, what do you command?"

"Nurse, why are you? Gui Ying? ”

"Gui Ying said to go out and go around, and he hasn't come back yet."

"Huh? Where have you been? ”

"I don't know!"

"Miss!" As they were talking, Gui Ying walked in with a smile on her face.

"Gui Ying, where have you been? What is so happy? ”

"Nothing, miss, is your portrait ready?"

"It's not there yet, there's no pen to use, by the way, Gui Ying, have you heard of graphite?"

"Graphite? What's that East? ”

"Haven't you heard of it?"

Gui Ying shook her head: "I've never heard of it." ”

Linglong was a little deflated, thinking that she could make money, Gui Ying had a lot of knowledge, if she didn't know, it was mostly from abroad. The people here haven't found out yet, have they?

"Forget it, I'm tired, let's rest!"

Gui Ying flipped through the pile of waste manuscripts on the table: "Miss, haven't you drawn a single one?" ”

"There's no way, the pen doesn't work, the more I want to draw well, the worse I can't draw, I have to wait for the next time."

"Yes. Miss, don't worry. The days are long, and you can draw it whenever you want. Miss, why do you paint the second son in one go? ”

"Because I hate him!"

Gui Ying was stunned for a moment: "Why?" Didn't the young lady ...... to the second son before?"

"That's not knowing that man is so annoying! This kind of person. The fool is willing to marry him, let him live with a pig for the rest of his life, hum! ”

Linglong raised his head and walked out with disdain. Gui Ying was a little dumbfounded. Although there is some unhappiness between the second son and the young lady, the young lady doesn't hate it like this, right?

Although the second son's temperament is a little colder. But in general, it's still good, the reason why he was like that last time was mostly a misunderstanding, he mostly thought that Miss was interested in the eldest son, and the eldest prince already had Miss Miao. Miss Miao and the second son have known each other since childhood, so they talk like that......

"Miss! Miss, listen to the slave. Actually, the second son is not as bad as you think......"

"Don't say it, don't talk about him in front of me in the future. I hate it, so I'm ready to go to bed. ”

Linglong's attitude was very resolute, and he was very disgusted with Liang Chenjing, the second son of the Liang family, and he didn't want to mention or hear anything related to him. Although Gui Ying didn't say anything on the surface, she was secretly anxious in her heart, and before she fell asleep, she was still thinking, should she go and get back the portrait drawn by the young lady?

But in Miss's current situation, she really needs to find a wishful husband. She has also seen a lot of noble sons in the capital, few serious ones, serious ones have long been famous, and it is difficult to find reads with lanterns like my son-in-law;.

Besides, the young lady has an unpleasant temperament, and she has a hard time wherever she goes. Don't say anything else, just say that I didn't have a good impression of Miss when I first met her, if I hadn't gotten along for a few days, I wouldn't have helped her if I thought she had a knife mouth and a tofu heart and a good nature......

Gui Ying was entangled in her heart, hesitated and fell asleep unconsciously, and put aside the matter of getting the portrait back for the time being.

Early the next morning, Aunt Zhu went to see the old lady with the booklet of the bound embroidery and the portrait, and the old lady glanced at it: "What is this?" ”

"Mother, didn't you ask the concubine to prepare a few things that she could get her hands on? This is the embroidery that Lingxuan has embroidered in recent years, I picked a few pieces that are quite passable and made into a booklet that is easy to take and look good, what does my mother think? ”

Wu Sanniang, who was waiting beside the old lady, took it and turned a page to show the old lady, the old lady only glanced at it and waved her hand, Wu Sanniang carefully put it away and handed it to a big girl next to her.

The old lady glanced at Zhu: "This is embroidered by Lingxuan herself?" ”

Zhu's heart was weak, he bowed his head and answered, and the old lady snorted lightly: "Whatever you want, anyway, the old body will only help you this time, fortunately, the idea of making embroidery into a booklet is still new, and if you can't get by, it depends on Lingxuan's own creation!" ”

Zhu was delighted: "Thank you mother, mother has worked hard!" ”

"Hmph, you should thank me, the old body really showed his old face this time! Sanniang, did you send the post? ”

"Back to the old lady, I sent it yesterday afternoon, and Mrs. Liang also replied to the post, saying that I am free all day today, please go over and sit down, old lady!"

"Very good, let's get dressed and get ready to go!"

The old lady dressed up a lot, brought the Zhu family with her, and went out just after the hour.

Linglong slept too late last night, and when she got up, she didn't see Gui Ying at breakfast, and asked Wu's mother that she heard that she went out in a hurry early in the morning, as if there was something important?

Linglong thought about it, what could Gui Ying do? Could it be that Liang Chenyu is looking for her?

"Mother Wu, I also need some charcoal sticks, help me pick up some evenly and send them to my room. Oh, by the way, Gui Ying came back and remembered to call her to come to me. ”

Gui Ying slept late last night, and got up late this morning, and when she arrived at the courtyard of the eldest lady Zhu, she happened to see her going to the old lady's courtyard with the booklet, she followed all the way, and always wanted to find an opportunity to get back the portrait that was stuffed in last night, but the booklet has been holding in the hand of the maid and woman, and there are many people around to watch, it is really difficult to get it.

Gui Ying had been following the old lady and the Zhu family out of the Su Mansion, watching their carriage go in the direction of the Liang Mansion, she shook her head a little dejectedly: Oh no, this time the young lady must blame me, or...... Is this providential?

Gui Ying thought about it and did everything, why don't you follow the past and see what Madame says?

It is said that she has been a maid for so many years, and she has always been honest and well-behaved, but she has only followed Miss Linglong for a few days, and she has begun to be dishonest? Could it be that she was influenced by Miss? Gui Ying smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up the path and went in the direction of the Liang Guo Mansion.

The old lady of the Su family took the Zhu family to visit the Liang Mansion, and the Liang Mansion was very polite, and the housekeeper was still at the door to greet them and lead them into the guest hall.

If you want to say that Mrs. Su and Mrs. Liang have a relationship, it is more accurate to say that they are related to each other.

This is also a bit far-fetched, Mrs. Su's sister-in-law is Mrs. Liang's uncle's wife, because Mrs. Liang's mother has a good relationship with that aunt, and Mrs. Su often went to her aunt's house when she was young, so it was a bit of a relationship.

In fact, when Mrs. Su went, Mrs. Liang was still a babbling child, how could she remember so much? But Mrs. Liang has always respected her elders and has a lot of respect for Mrs. Su's aunt, so she will also give Mrs. Su a little thin noodles.

Mrs. Liang stood at the door of the guest hall and greeted her: "Sister Ye, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are still so young!" ”

Mrs. Su smiled and said, "See and laugh, what are you still young when you are old!" It's my sister who hasn't seen her for many years, and I'm more and more blessed! ”

"Alas, what is not blessed, there are too many things to worry about all day long, I am so worried that I have wrinkles, you see, there are them when you look up. Come, Sister Ye, let's sit in the hall. ”

Mrs. Liang welcomed Mrs. Su in with a smile, and the two of them cheered for homely things, chatting happily in the east and west, and Mrs. Su said: "Sister, if I remember correctly, you are less than forty this year, right?" I heard that the eldest son is about to get married? The old woman happened to come to ask for a cup of wine to drink. ”

"Hehe, look at what the eldest sister said, the day has not yet come, we are preparing the wedding card, and we will send it out one after another tomorrow, Sister Ye rest assured, your share is indispensable, I am afraid that you will break the bank when the time comes!"

Mrs. Su snorted: "It should be, I'm afraid that my sister will forget me, let me prepare it once but can't send it, that's shameless!" ”

"No, the eldest sister laughed!"

"By the way, sister, I heard that the second son is also over seventeen years old, right? Can you deny the next person? ”

Mrs. Liang's smile paused: "This, hehe, don't hide it from the eldest sister, I'm worried about it!" ”

"Oh, why is that?"

"Alas, my sister doesn't know the scene of my house, he wanders outside all the year round, and it is rare to go home all year round. I picked ten or eight for him, but he was not satisfied with all of them, he didn't look at other people's portraits, and I didn't know what he wanted. ”

"Oh? And this kind of thing? This marriage matchmaker's words, if my sister thinks it's good, she will set it directly, and she doesn't necessarily have to ask the child to agree, right? ”

Mrs. Liang shook her head again and again: "No, Jing'er, this kid has a very stubborn temper, if he is not satisfied, you forcibly set it for him, he may turn around and leave and never come back, then if the bride marries home and stays alone in the empty house for many years, won't it hurt others?" ”

"Oh? So? But I think the child is young and ignorant, and it's normal to do something out of the cabinet when he's young, and my sister can't blindly indulge it! ”

"I also understand the reason, I have discussed it with Grandpa Guo, the old lady has not been in good health recently, and she has always wanted to see her two grandchildren get married.

Whether it's for the old lady or for Jing'er, this time you must order one for him no matter what.

This future daughter-in-law, not to mention how gentle and talented she must be, she must be as beautiful as a flower, at least she must be sincerely good to him and can take care of him for the rest of her life, like this...... In the future, I will go to Jiuquan to explain to my sister! ”

Seeing Mrs. Liang's sad appearance, Mrs. Su couldn't help but comfort a few words, Zhu listened to it for a long time, and never saw the old lady mention her own Lingxuan, she couldn't help but be a little anxious, she secretly reminded the old lady several times, but the old lady only pretended not to see it.

Mrs. Liang wiped the corners of her eyes a little more steadily and asked, "By the way, Sister Ye, do you have a suitable lady in your house?" (To be continued)
