Mengqian listened proudly: "What are the special customs in the south?" ”

Qianning's eyes flashed, and the emotion on Mengqian's face couldn't escape, and this sister-in-law also had a time to rise. picked up all the interesting things that he had said in Yining's letters in the past. Those yellow-haired and blue-eyed people who came from the West, the transparent water that exuded fragrance, and the tight skirts, all fascinated Mengqian, especially when it came to Western paintings, with bright colors and exquisite images, Mengqian couldn't help but ask: "Are Western paintings really so expressive?" Can people be mistaken for the truth? ”

Qian Ning smiled: "The Western painting method is different from our ink painting of the Great Song Dynasty, the most important thing is to pay attention to details, even the hair and hair, the stitch and thread are painted vividly, so the whole painting looks like the real thing." I happen to have two portraits sent by my sister, and my sister can come up to me if she has time. ”

If it was usual, Mengqian would have refused Qianning's invitation, but with such a big temptation as Western paintings, although she didn't jump up directly like Mengying, her expression was also relaxed: "It would be great if I had the honor to observe and learn that technique." ”

"According to my sister, the Western painting method is not easy to learn, according to the orthodox learning method, you must first use charcoal to start learning, and when the painting is expressive, you can learn to color, not two or three years can not learn." Qian Ning told all the information about Western painting in Yining's letter.

Meng Qian sighed: "It's a pity, I didn't have the opportunity to learn this skill well." ”

"That's not necessarily," Qian Ning leaned towards Mengqian, "Who can say for sure what is going on in this world, just say that my sister, when she was still in the boudoir, why did she want to have the opportunity to go to the south?" ”

Mengqian's heart was transparent, how could she not understand the meaning of Qianning's words: "It is up to people to make things happen, and it is always up to fate." ”

"My sister also said that it is up to people to plan things, and only when people go to work first, God will give them opportunities." Qian Ning didn't persuade her directly, but just followed Mengqian's words.

Mengqian thought about it, lowered her head and pursed her lips and drank tea.

Seeing that Mengqian had some ideas, Qian Ning knew that what she had just said had some effect, so she stopped and left.

A few days have passed, and it is the Chinese New Year's Eve. Every household bought New Year's goods, bought chicken, duck and fish, and happily prepared for the New Year. The academy was also closed a few days earlier, firstly, the gentlemen had to go home for the New Year, and secondly, it was also to let the students who were preparing for the spring exam go back to rest for a few days, otherwise after the New Year, the beginning of spring should enter the final sprint.

Zhao Luoyan ordered the little servant to pack some books, and the books returned to the Hou Mansion, and sent a letter back early, so that the study room could be cleaned up, not only for the New Year, but also for the New Year.

Zhao Luoyan is so diligent, Zhao Qian, Cui's is naturally very pleased, and Cui's even brought a few mothers to supervise in person, until the study was cleaned spotlessly and neatly placed before leaving satisfied.

Zhao Luoyan arrived at home, met with the old marquis, Tian, Zhao Qian, Cui, the old marquis asked some questions on the spot, Zhao Luoyan answered the head, the old marquis listened to the head of the head, thinking that back then, the old marquis was also rich in five cars, full of poetry and books, and saw that his grandson did a good job, and he was very happy. After telling him, he should pay attention to his body while studying, and asked about the preparation of the spring festival before letting Zhao Luoyan go back to rest.

Zhao Luoyan walked out of the gate of Zhenghai Courtyard, and breathed a sigh of relief, although Zhao Qian is not good at academics, but the old marquis is a good at making arts, if it weren't for the order of the emperor back then, the people who attacked the lord were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, but I was afraid that the old marquis would not be a problem to get a first-class, and it was precisely because he missed the imperial examination, his son Zhao Qian was a talentless, and it was easy to have a grandson who had a future in the industry. Fortunately, Zhao Luoyan is indeed very enlightened in reading, and the more he asks, the more hope the old marquis has. In the end, every time the old marquis asked, Zhao Luoyan was ready for battle, and his spirit was highly nervous.

The little guy who often follows also knows about this situation, and as soon as he saw Zhao Luoyan come out, his expression relaxed, he knew that this level had passed again, and ran up: "Shizi, but you want to go to Yongmei Zhai?" ”

Although you have to go home to read your books on time, but it is much easier than the academy, Zhao Luoyan was in a happy mood, and flicked the forehead of the little girl: "You are clever and know the mind of this son." ”

Hearing this, where did the little guy not understand, he quickly took out the gift for Lian Chengmei from the burden behind him, and ordered: "You take the luggage back, but be careful, don't lose it." After speaking, he walked quickly in a few steps to keep up with Zhao Luoyan in front.

Lian Chengmei had already heard that Zhao Luoyan had returned home, she was freshening up, changing clothes, and preparing Zhao Luoyan's favorite snacks and tea, the teapot was boiling and rolling on the charcoal fire, and it was always warm, just waiting for Zhao Luoyan to come over.

Seeing that the tea was boiling again, Lian Chengmei sighed slightly: "But grandfather is testing knowledge again, right?" Why can't this happen? ”

Before the words fell, Zhao Luoyan's footsteps came: "Mei'er, who knows me, is also." ”

Lian Chengmei's face was overjoyed, and she turned around to greet her: "Husband, it's hard to travel and travel, I have already prepared some food, come over and eat and rest." With that, he pulled Zhao Luoyan to sit on the kang couch.

Zhao Luoyan took Lian Chengmei's hand and said softly: "Don't be busy, I'm not hungry or tired, you are pregnant, sit down." ”

Lian Chengmei sat down according to his words, and Quetai hurriedly poured the tea, put the teapot back on the charcoal stove, and left gently.

Zhao Luoyan attached his hand to Lian Chengmei's increasingly big belly, and asked softly about Lian Chengmei's body.

Talking about the child in her womb, Lian Chengmei showed maternal love on her face, and said carefully: "The child is very obedient and sometimes moves in the belly. Something like that. As soon as Zhao Luoyan heard that the child had moved, he was even happier in his heart, and the two were tired of talking to each other.

Quetai had already closed the door, and when he came out, he instructed his subordinates: "Go and prepare for food, and tell the kitchen that the prince will eat here, and let them prepare some meals that the prince likes to eat." He turned his head to Zhao Luoyan's servant again: "Brother Qing, you are also here to eat." ”

Brother Qing rubbed his hands together and sighed, with a hip-hop smile on his face: "I have planned to eat here." I knew that as soon as the prince came back, he would come to Yongmei Zhai. It's going to be the New Year, so I can eat something good in the house, the food in the academy is very oily. ”

Quetai instructed the maid and said, "As long as you complain, you didn't even say anything about the prince." ”

Listening to Yuxuan, he also heard the news of Zhao Luoyan's return, but Qian Ning had expected that he would go to Yongmei Zhai, so she didn't wait for him, and asked someone to prepare lunch on time and on time.

"Sister-in-law, the second brother is back, and I don't send someone to send you a letter?" The relationship with the Li family has been decided, and Mengying is stared at by the grandmother sent by the Cui family every day to make a dowry, and finally steals a leisure, so she runs to Qianning to relax.

Qian Ning smiled indifferently and laughed at herself: "You also know that Shizi and Sister Lian are childhood sweethearts, and they are in love, and even Sister Lian has a body, so it is reasonable for Shizi to be anxious to see her." ”

Meng Ying pursed her lips: "I really don't know why the second brother likes the second sister-in-law." When I was young, my second sister-in-law was delicate, and she was a proud lady who thought very highly of herself, but the second brother had a soft spot for her, if it were me, I still liked my sister-in-law to be so straightforward. ”

Qian Ning covered her mouth and smiled: "Third sister, is this crying out for me?" The so-called radish greens have their own love, and not all the sons of the world love them. Besides, even my sister is both talented and beautiful, if I were a man, I would fall in love with her. ”

"Alas......" Meng Ying cupped her cheeks and sighed, "I'm also not worth it for my sister-in-law, if it weren't for the second sister-in-law, my sister-in-law might not have the heart of the second brother." ”

"Every man has his own fate. And why force it? "What Qian Ning said is light and light.

Meng Ying raised her head and glared at Qian Ning: "If my husband also has a place in his heart, what can I do?" ”

Qian Ning gently scratched her nose: "You, don't worry about it." I heard that Li Jiaerlang is a square person, but there is not even a room in the house, you are the first one, he has to worry about you, that is, he is worried about you. ”

Meng Ying's face turned red: "How can my sister-in-law even know this?" ”

Qian Ning smiled slyly: "The third sister's family matter, inside and out, my aunt has found out clearly, and I also knew about it by chance." This is how to inform my sister. ”

Meng Ying's face turned even redder, and she muttered, "Mother is really annoying, why do you say all these things." I didn't want to talk about it anymore, so Meng Ying changed the topic: "Sister-in-law, do you know that the second sister has changed sex now." ”

"Oh?" This Qian Ning really hasn't heard of it, "What kind of sex conversion method?" ”
