Chapter 8 Show your talents
Shen Moli came to the garden, although it was early spring, he saw that some of the flowers and trees in the garden had already smoked buds, reflecting the emerald green inch-long grass on the ground.
The group talked and laughed and walked to the pavilion to rest, and the three of them talked about the sisters, it turned out that Zhao Xiangyi was eight years old this year, and Shen Moli was the youngest among the three.
Zhao Jingxuan is very talkative and will stir up the atmosphere, and she can always find common topics in the three-person room, and she will not be cold. Zhao Xiangyi didn't want to talk more, but Sister Yan's face still had to be given, and she would say a few words from time to time.
Shen Moli took out the folding fan he drew in the future, "It is the first time I have met my sisters, in order to talk about my cousin's intentions, I specially gave my sisters a few folding fans that I drew at home in my spare time. ”
"Today, my sister picked up a big bargain!" Zhao Jingxuan smiled with surprise on her face, "Not only do I have a well-behaved and beautiful sister, but I also get the benefits of my sister for nothing!" How good is this called my sister! As he spoke, he hurriedly took the folding fan with both hands, and he was not polite to open it and look at it carefully.
Zhao Xiangyi on the side looked at Shen Moli wearing a white floral red cloth shirt, a straight white cloth skirt, and a small shoulder bag with green cloth lotus flowers on her shoulders, and she didn't know how many times she despised it. Xiao Tao, the big girl standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to take the folding fan.
"Today, my sister found out that my sister likes folding fans so much, and my sister has an ivory folding fan back to give to my sister!" Zhao Xiangyi looked at Shen Moli with disdain, who in the family is just sending some worthless tatters.
Shen Moli looked at the provocation in Zhao Xiangyi's eyes, and was not annoyed, smiled at her slightly, and then lowered his head and picked up the teacup on the stone table, sipping the fragrant tea lightly, and tasting the mellow fragrance in it.
Zhao Xiangyi felt a sense of humiliation that was ignored, and looked at Zhao Jingxuan with a look of grievance, but saw her staring at the fan with a pair of bright eyes in surprise, with an expression that couldn't tell whether it was shock or a smile, and she didn't hear her words at all. I'm stupid! Deserve! Isn't it just to take advantage of a concubine, so that you pretend to be a fairy every day, and you can see too many lowly things and expose your stuffing!
"My sister's painting is a good Danqing! I've loved peonies since I was a child, and this fan really voted for my sister's preference. After a while, Zhao Jingxuan came back to her senses from the exquisite calligraphy and painting on the fan.
The big girl who was waiting on the side, Lu Liu, saw that her young lady had come back to her senses, so she hurriedly picked up a vacancy and said a few words in the young lady's ear.
Zhao Jingxuan's eyes flashed with anger, and the smile on her face continued to praise: "It's not just that the paintings are lifelike, but the calligraphy is strong, powerful, refreshing, and beautiful!" I don't know who my sister studied with? ”
"My sister praised it falsely! My sister has been learning Danqing with her father since she was a child, and she has never worshiped everyone! Shen Moli saw that Zhao Jingxuan's face was sincere, not like a fake, so he said frankly.
Zhao Xiangyi was thinking about the beauty in her heart, and suddenly heard Zhao Jingxuan say this, thinking about the past to see what was going on, she just straightened up, and sat back stiffly, with a very unnatural expression, she took the folding fan from the little peach and opened it to see the authenticity, and the eyes were full of lush green flowers blooming in the sky, and the viewer seemed to see the bushes from this corner and a piece of greenery stretched freely and quietly moistened the heart, and an embroidered eye spread its wings as if it was about to jump out of the paper and soar into the sky...... Zhao Xiangyi was infected by the artistic conception of the picture, and seemed to have been in the painting for a long time and could not speak.
Zhao Jingxuan was stunned that even a seven-year-old girl could have such a realm, I really don't know how this uncle's calligraphy and painting attainments will be, "Although I haven't seen my uncle's danqing works, I think my uncle's attainments can be seen!" My father was very fond of calligraphy and painting, and this time he met a soulmate! Now I'm a fan of my sister's little painting and calligraphy! ”
Shen Moli just wanted to help her father, who was too low-key, open up a good situation, but she didn't expect the results to be so good and beyond expectations, "Sister, this is the class to get an axe, let my sister laugh!" ”
"Not so! Otherwise! Sister, I love my sister's gift! I have to be cheeky and ask my sister for a few more fans! In the summer, my sister just looked at the fan and relieved the heat! Zhao Jingxuan did not hesitate to praise herself, and expressed her appreciation for Shen Moli so bluntly.
Shen Moli covered her mouth and smiled, and liked Zhao Jingyi in her heart, not because of her few compliments, but because she really liked her straightforwardness and not being pretentious, "It's rare that my sister likes it!" There are also a few fans at home, and I will give them to my sister when I go back! ”
At this time, Zhao Xiangyi was no longer too empty, and looked at Shen Moli with a smile with complicated eyes, and her heart was mixed.
"Xiangyi, don't you have a lot of folding fans there! Why don't you give this to your sister, I like it so much! Zhao Jingxuan turned her head to look at Zhao Xiangyi and smiled.
Zhao Xiangyi looked down on her sister's style in her heart, and said with a nonchalant face: "Sister is polite, take it if you like it!" As he spoke, he handed the folding fan in his hand to Zhao Jingxuan.
Zhao Jingxuan took it with a look of surprise and opened the folding fan and said while admiring it: "My sister has made a lot of money today, not only did she get Sister Mo Li's folding fan for nothing, but also received the benefits of Xiangyi, and I remember to send the ivory folding fan to my room when I look back." ”
When Zhao Xiangyi heard this, she almost didn't make a pretty face, and she took it seriously when she said it casually, so she had to grit her silver teeth and say, "My sister remembers!" ”
Shen Moli looked casual on his face, and his heart blossomed, praising Zhao Jingxuan for being a wonderful person.
Shen Moli and the three of them were enjoying the scenery and flowers, drinking tea and chatting in the garden, and it was not until noon that the little girl came to urge the meal time to arrive, and they felt that the sun was already high.
At noon, the two families of Zhao Shen no longer had the restraint of meeting for the first time. Zhao Chenjing and Shen Yun interacted with the Shen family with gratitude, and Shen Moli's family thought that it would not be wrong to have the care of the county magistrate, and the two families were working hard in the same direction, and they got along well and enjoyed themselves.
After a break of incense in the afternoon, when Shen Moli's family said goodbye, Shen Yun took Zhou Wanqing's hand and sincerely told her to come and go in the future. Zhao Jingxuan said again that she would go back and hand over the post to Shen Moli and let her come to the house to play often.
In a reluctant situation, Shen Moli's family got into the carriage and went home.
"I really didn't expect the eleventh sister to be so talkative, and she is very approachable, without the slightest arrogance of an official's wife!" Zhou Wanqing had already been called Shen Yun by the eleventh girl at this time, and she had become the eleventh sister.
Shen Botao nodded sympathetically, and said with infinite emotion: "My brother-in-law has no official status at all, so people can't imagine that he is a child of a family and is a good person!" "As a teacher born in Xiucai, the family background is not a little worse than that, "The most important thing is that my brother-in-law's knowledge is excellent!" Thinking of the scene of discussing literature and ink with Zhao Chenjing in the study of Zhao Mansion in the morning, Shen Botao admired Zhao Chenjing from the bottom of his heart as the famous Tanhualang of the year!
