"Plum was born proud, noble character, three or two red plums poked out from the edge of the house, and gave some tenderness to this depressed land. It also increases the tenacity of the cold winter, and the joy of the snow is red, which is very good. Although Xiao Zizheng's tone was flat, he also heard a little appreciation from it.

Xiao Zhiyan listened to it very usefully, smiled and squinted a pair of phoenix eyes, but the eyes were slightly dark when she was nicknamed Xiao Zhisu who was standing outside the study, but the corners of her lips smiled more and more happily, "Ninth sister!" ”

Xiao Zizheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, straightened up and first bypassed Xiao Zhisu, landed on Zhuohua, and then looked at Xiao Zhisu, "Ninth sister." ”

Unceremoniously stepped into the study full of ink fragrance, Xiao Zhisu bowed to him, regardless of Xiao Zhiyan's presence, Gu Zi said, "Thank you eldest brother for saving him in the ancestral hall that day." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Zizheng to help him up, Xiao Zhisu took the lead in straightening up and said playfully, "I just got good in the past few days, and I just went to the third brother Taohuawu, and I remembered that I still owe the eldest brother a favor, and I came empty-handed, the eldest brother is not strange!" ”

"No need to be polite, the ninth sister has been getting better these days?"

Xiao Zizheng is somewhat unfamiliar with this sister. However, seeing that she spoke freely and without any pretentiousness of her daughter's family, her heart became a little closer, but he was a cold-faced person, and he couldn't make too many expressions of hushing and asking for warmth.

"It's no big deal, but I have been lying down for a few days, and my body is a little stuffy. I've read all my own books, so I want to come to my eldest brother to borrow some new ideas to pass the time. Xiao Zhisu smiled and blinked.

"Thank you for my kindness, I didn't bring a courtesy, I even had to ask for a book." Xiao Zizheng shook his head slightly, his dark eyes smiling. However, having said that, he still turned around as he said, and did not reply to the bookshelves full of ancient books, "I don't have any books for the girl's house to read here, they are all boring historical essays, which one do you want to read?" ”

Xiao Zhiyan, who had been hanging aside, held her sleeves and sat down to continue to finish the paintings that had not yet been painted, without saying a word.

Xiao Zhisu glanced at her and said casually, "It's good to pick some bookbooks on the art of war." With that, he turned around and walked to the table, and said with a smile, "Sister is painting?" ”

After hooking the last plum petal, Xiao Zhiyan hung up the pen, raised her head and smiled sweetly, "Yes, because it will be Grandpa Xie's birthday in a few days, Yan'er will think about Grandpa Xie's prosperous life, and send a picture of "Farming Residence Retreat" to express her heart!" ”

She said casually, but there was a smug look in her eyes, Xiao Zhisu nodded lightly, and did not pursue or blame herself for forgetting that grandfather Xie's birthday, but leaned her neck to admire the volume of "Farm House Retreat".

I have to say that Xiao Zhiyan really lives up to her reputation as a talented woman. A picture of retreat, the house built of rough wood is covered in silver and white, and the gentleman's bamboo is defeated in the winter sun, and it is a depressed color. The front of the house is full of dead leaves, a Guan Gong knife is obliquely inserted in the center of the courtyard, the silver ring of the knife handle hangs with bright red Ruyi ears and swings in the wind, snowflakes are mixed with dead leaves, and the feeling of killing arises spontaneously. The smoke from the chimney of the house curls up, and the three or two branches of Aoxue red plum sticking out of the eaves add warmth to the whole painting.

"My sister is good at drawing." Xiao Zhi sighed with feeling, and said casually to Xiao Zizheng with a smile, "Having a talented person like you in the family is already glorious, and Sister Yan is a talented girl, it really makes me and the third brother ashamed of people who only know gags every day!" ”

Glancing at her with a smile, Xiao Zizheng handed her the booklet he had found, and said seriously, "Everyone has their own ambitions, Yan'er loves poetry and songs, and the third brother prefers to do business." Although Shinong is a businessman and a businessman, if he behaves more restrained, learns from Jianwu Hou, and does not fall behind Shiwen, he will naturally be liked by others. ”

"I estimate that with the third brother's temperament, I'm afraid that Xi Wen is impossible. Big brother hasn't said anything about me yet! Could it be that among the children of the Xiao family, Su Su has become the most useless? Xiao Zhisu first shook her head as if she was sorry, and then raised her head and blinked her apricot eyes playfully, with a quirky look.

Xiao Zizheng pretended to think about it for a while, and then interjected, "You are naturally the one who just said that the gag is annoying." However, the girl's family also picked up some military books to read, which shows that they are still teachable. ”

"Big brother, this is lifting me up, I just want to read it because I think it's a novelty." Xiao Zhisuto smiled. However, there was a hint of imperceptible loneliness in her eyes, and about a year later, her uncle would go to lead the troops to fight, and it was this battle that changed her life in her previous life. My uncle died, my aunt followed, and my grandfather also lingered on the sick bed because he couldn't bear the blow, and finally died. In this life, she wants to try to change, no matter what the outcome is, she wants to do her part.

So now, whether it's useful or not, she wants to dabble in some military books first, just in case she needs it.

The three of them said a few more words, and when Xiao Zhisu was about to say goodbye, Xiao Zhiyan, who had rarely spoken, also rolled up the scroll with dried ink, put it in the long box and smiled at Xiao Zizheng, "Big brother, that Yan'er is also gone." Then he said to Xiao Zhisu, "Ninth sister, let's go to Fuliuxuan to pick out clothes in a while." The mother said that my sister was almost ready, and in addition to the clothes made in the house, my sister should also pick out some of her favorites. ”

Qingli, who had been guarding the door, frowned and said in a low voice, "Maybe I don't have a good heart!" ”

"Qingli, don't say more." Zhuohua, who has always been kind, suddenly spoke, his tone was stern, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.

Xiao Zhisu thought about it, although she was very reluctant to go the same way with Xiao Zhiyan, she really wanted to get something out of Xiao Zhiyan's mouth. You know, it's one thing to appreciate talent, but this mother-killing revenge is bigger than the sky, so he responded, "Okay." ”

The two masters left the study, and Zhuohua and the others naturally had to follow. Xiao Zizheng looked at the corner of the skirt that disappeared at the threshold, raised her slender fingers and pinched her eyebrows, looking tired.

After leaving Zhiyuan Pavilion, Xiao Zhiyan went back to Yanju first with the long box, and Xiao Zhisu sent Qingli back to Tiansu Pavilion first, and she took Zhuohua and Ziyu to the main entrance first, and on the way, she sent Xiaowu to the stable to drive the carriage to wait at the door.
