Linglong came out of the study and felt bored, and she didn't want to get involved in the in the uncle's room, so she went back to Tingfeng Courtyard alone.

After leaving for a few days, I listened to the wind courtyard and was still clean, and I heard the doorman say that no one came to disturb her for the time being, and the old aunt had nothing to do alone, and her eyes were not good.

Linglong went over to ask for peace, and there was nothing to do, remembering that Liang Chenyu said that his paintings were good, and he might be able to sell them for a few dollars.

On a whim, she went to the kitchen to find some charcoal sticks, and went back to the house to find rice paper to practice drawing.

What did you draw? Liang Chenyu said that as long as the painted things can be sold at a good price if they can be voted on by the guests, what do the guests like? Landscape scenery? Flowers and plants? Beautiful men and beautiful women?

Beautiful men and beautiful women! By the way, look at those star-chasing people in modern times, when they see beautiful men and beautiful women, they are like crazy, and they can't wait to hold the screen and nibble a few bites, yes, yes, there is definitely a market for this.

Linglong was overjoyed, traced on the paper for a moment, and a few strokes outlined the outline of a graceful beautiful man. After carefully drawing and retouching, I don't know how long it took, a beautiful man with a cold face and sharp eyes jumped on the paper.

Linglong habitually wrote his name in the lower right corner of the portrait, and then stepped back a little, holding the portrait to take a closer look, hey! How did you draw him? I obviously want to draw Liang Chenyu's ......

"Wow reads;! Miss is so powerful, isn't the person in this painting the second son? It's exactly the same as the second son, it's too similar! ”

Linglong turned around and saw Gui Ying standing behind him at some point.

"Gui Ying, when did you come back?"

"It's been a while, and the slave maid saw that the young lady was drawing seriously, so she didn't bother."

"Really? What's going on over there, Uncle? ”

"The old lady is in charge, and she has received the maid named Wan'er into the big house to be a roommate."

"Huh? It's really accepted! Auntie just has no opinion? ”

"Of course there is, but my arms can't twist my thighs. The old lady spoke, and she didn't dare to disobey.

Miss, I heard Mrs. Su say that she seems to have some friendship with my wife, and she will go to our house tomorrow to say goodbye to Miss Lingxuan and my second son. ”

"Really? That's great! Linglong replied lightly, glanced at the stinky face on the portrait that she hated, and was about to rub it and throw it out.

"Don't, Miss! Why do you throw away such a good portrait? ”

"What's so good? Hate to death! I originally wanted to draw Brother Liang, but before I knew it, I actually painted this bastard! Lingxuan married him. A self-righteous. One has no face and no skin, even his sister-in-law ...... Both of them are a natural pair. It's just right to get together. ”

Gui Ying remembered the second son's merciless ridicule of Linglong in the teahouse, and pulled the corners of her mouth awkwardly: "Miss, in fact, the second son is not so bad, he is usually very good to people." I don't know why I ...... that day."

"Forget it, don't mention him. That's right. What time is it? ”

"It's been a long time!"

"So late? Is Grandpa back? ”

"On the way back, I heard a few maids say that Old Man Su invited a few colleagues to gather in the mansion, and now he should be feasting in the outer courtyard and drinking the bar?"

It is obviously inappropriate to ask him to do something like this, and it seems that he can only wait a little longer.

"Miss. Mother Wu came to ask a few times, and asked the young lady to go to dinner! ”

"Okay, let's go. Let's eat. ”

Linglong casually threw the portrait of Liang's second son on the table, got up and went out to eat.

Gui Ying watched Linglong's figure go out. Looking back at the portrait for a while, she rolled her eyes, quickly put away the portrait, rolled it up and hid it in her sleeve, and then followed out as if nothing happened.

After dinner, Linglong was in good spirits, and planned to go back to the house to paint another one, this time he must paint Liang Chenyu handsome, extraordinary and handsome, people gave me a thousand taels of silver jewelry, and helped me so much, how should I be thankful!

She glanced at the table and saw that the portrait of Liang Chenjing painted in the afternoon was gone, and the window was open, could it be blown away by the wind? That's it, I didn't plan to stay anyway, just blow it away.

The thought flashed through her mind, and without thinking much about it, she sat down and went on with her work.

Gui Ying kept an eye on her, and when she saw that she didn't ask questions, she secretly touched the portrait hidden in her sleeve: "Miss, do you have anything else here?" Would it be nice for the slave to go out and help? ”

Linglong didn't raise his head: "Go, go, go, I will take at least half an hour to finish drawing, close the door, don't disturb my reading if it's okay;." ”

"Yes!" Gui Yingfu went out, took the door, and went to the kitchen to take a turn, Wu's mother and the others had already cleaned up, and there was nothing they needed to help.

Gui Ying pulled Mother Wu aside and said in a low voice: "Miss is concentrating on painting, I don't want to be disturbed, Mother Wu helps to watch a little, if Miss asks someone to trouble Mother to go in and take a look, the slave maid will go to the front to take a look." ”

"Okay, no problem, just go girl."

Gui Ying left in a hurry, and the people in the courtyard did not suspect him, so they went their own way.

Gui Ying jumped on the top of the tree when she came out of the Tingfeng Courtyard, and after a burst of cornices, she found the courtyard of the eldest lady Zhu.

She gently lifted the tile and peeked, and saw that Zhu and Su Lingxuan were selecting the embroidery sent by the embroidery lady in the house.

Su Lingxuan complained dissatisfiedly: "Mother, don't pick too good, in case I pass the door in the future, my mother-in-law asks me to embroider things for her every day to make clothes, don't you exhaust me?" ”

Zhu smiled: "You girl, the family matter has not been decided, so you want to go through the door in the future?" ”

Su Lingxuan blushed slightly: "Mother, why are you laughing at others?" You know people don't mean that. ”

"Hehe, okay, don't laugh at you.

Lingxuan, although this second son of Liang is a concubine, he was raised by Mrs. Liang since he was a child, and it is recorded in Mrs. Liang's name, which is actually no different from a concubine.

Moreover, I heard that the old lady of the Liang family had already spoken, and the second son became a relative in the future, and when the family was separated, he would be counted as a descendant, and he would never be treated badly, but he could not inherit the dukedom.

So, this family business is definitely the best. Not to mention anything else, I heard that several young ladies of the Shangshu Mansion have sent posts to the Liang Mansion, if you can make Mrs. Liang take a fancy to you, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are glamorous......"

"Oh, mother, I know, what's the use of saying this? It's got to be done! ”

"Hmmm! Also. This is the right reason, and it is only good to say it. Xuan'er, the portrait? Show it to your mother. ”

Su Lingxuan took the two scrolls from the maid beside her and presented them: "Mother, please look!" ”

Zhu took it and slowly opened it, Gui Ying's position was directly above them, just to see clearly, the painting is in the style of brush and ink landscape, and the figure of a woman with an oil-paper umbrella under the willow tree in the painting is like a shadow. Not to mention the physiognomy of the characters. I can't even see what clothes I'm wearing, it's just the shadow of a woman.

Of course, the shadow itself is indeed evocative and reverie. But what does this have to do with Su Lingxuan? It's okay to say that the woman in the painting is anyone, right?

Zhu stared at her for a moment, and Su Lingxuan pulled her sleeve happily: "Mother, don't you look like me?" ”

Zhu came back to his senses: "This...... Xuan'er, is there anyone who only paints you but doesn't paint scenes? ”

"Mother. Isn't this one pretty? The painter said that safflower needs to be lined with green leaves, and I can't show my beauty without scenery. You see, there are two more here. ”

Zhu opened it and looked at it one by one, these were not as good as the previous one, but there was a picture with a clearer outline. But it's a back, and it's not very well drawn, not as good as the first one.

Zhu, of course, was not satisfied with the reads; But her daughter Baba looked at her, and she couldn't bear to hit Lingxuan. He smiled and praised a few words, and accepted the first painting: "Okay, let's just this one, I'll cut it later and sandwich it in the embroidery, and Mrs. Liang will definitely be able to see it." ”

"Huh? It's going to be cut! Mother, don't break it for me, I like this one the most! ”

"Okay, okay, when it's done, my mother will hire that painter to go home and give you words every day, right?"

"Really? Mother, what you say counts! ”

"Count! Count! Okay, it's getting late, you can go back and rest first! ”

Zhu personally sent Lingxuan to the door, and then came back and walked around with the portrait.

Gu's mother, who was waiting close to her, came over: "Madam, are you not satisfied with the portrait?" ”

"Look! It's just a shadow, and I haven't even drawn my appearance, I think the painter is probably a charlatan, how can this kind of painting be done! ”

Gu's mother glanced at it: "But madam, it's so late, it's too late to invite a painter!" The slave maid felt ...... That's not bad, at least Beppu won't send such a portrait, our one is different from the other, but it's brilliant! ”

"Huh? Color? ”

"Yes, madam, think about it, although this is only a shadow, it is very good-looking, and there is a saying that it is not rare to see it, and it is not rare to get it...... What's going on? ”

"What nonsense? But......

There is some truth in what you say, the portraits you want to send to Beppu must all be extremely beautiful, there are two eyes, a nose and a mouth on the left and right, and if you see too much, no matter how good-looking it is, it's just like that, not to mention that Mrs. Liang picks her daughter-in-law not only by her appearance......

Okay, just this one, cut the embroidery inside, so as not to be too ostentatious, in case it doesn't damage the old lady's face, the old lady will be angry with me again! ”

"Hehe, Madame is smart!"

The two carefully cut the painting to the size of an embroidery, and then sandwiched it in the middle and straightened it, Zhu picked it up and flipped through it one by one:

"Yes, that's good! It's much better than those baba who send the portrait directly! My daughter is naturally the best, how can she be like a cabbage in front of others and let others judge her? ”

"Yes, yes, Madame wise."

"Okay, take a booklet and press it and seal it, and send it to the old lady tomorrow morning."

After Zhu finished explaining, he yawned and went back to sleep, Gui Ying lay on the roof and watched Gu's mother turn off the lights and leave after finishing her work. She flipped out the portrait in her sleeve and looked at it for a while:

"Yes, instead of letting the young lady be tempted by the eldest son, it is better to help her achieve a marriage with the second son, and only the young lady can cure him if the second son is such a person!"

Gui Ying waited for the courtyard to be quiet, flew down and felt into the room, found the booklet, she tried the portrait drawn by Linglong, it was a little bigger, and she had to cut some of it.

You can't light up here, you have to change places.

She flashed out, found the study in the outer courtyard, cut the portrait with her hands and feet, and saw that there was pen and ink on the table, she had an idea, picked up the pen and added two verses on the side of the portrait.

Looking at her masterpiece, Gui Ying smiled toothily, this time the matter between the young lady and the second son will definitely be successful. (To be continued)
