Xia Yunchu followed behind Bi Tao step by step and went straight to Qingxin Garden.

Along the way, from time to time, I met Miss Lang Jun who was visiting the garden in Mufu to come forward to say hello, and only nodded at them, walking forward like a fly, without stopping to chat with them.

At this moment, what could be more important than seeing her.

Xu was in a hurry, and a dense layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.

Shen Qingli had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, and when he saw Xia Yunchu who came in a hurry, he hurriedly smiled and beckoned him to sit down, and then briefly told him about the matter of Nanli Garden, and said: "Xia Shizi, I think there is some misunderstanding in this matter, how could Shizi send someone to Nanli Garden to forcibly rent land?" ”

When Xia Yun first saw the beauty he had been thinking about suddenly appearing in front of him and talking to him, his heart suddenly seemed to be turning a monstrous wave, and he said incoherently: "That's right, it's not me, it's all those bastards, how dare they go to the young lady's Zhuangzi to make trouble, I will definitely clean them up when I go back, and see what they do in the future, and dare not disobey the yang and the yin." ”

The woman in front of her was wearing a rose-red narrow sleeved wide-hem long skirt, with a shawl of the same color, and there were no too luxurious ornaments between her temples, but she seemed to be randomly decorated with a few delicate magnolia flowers, and the whole person looked generous but charming.

Thinking that she was now pregnant, his heart couldn't help but feel a little lost.

She is Mu Yunting's woman after all......

"Since Xia Shizi said so, then I can rest assured, but the land on the other side of the South Pear Orchard is planted with crops, and the people who come in and out are all croppers, and cattle and sheep will inevitably haunt there. It's really not suitable for growing exotic flowers and plants. Shen Qingli saw that the expression on Xia Yunchu's face fluctuated, as if he had something on his mind. He smiled lightly and said again. "If Xia Shizi insists on renting land on the mountain, it is not impossible, the hill opposite the South Pear Garden is planted with tea seedlings from our Mufu, if Xia Shizi plants flowers there, I will talk to Hongyuan when I go back, and let him vacate a piece of land for Shizi on the next mountain."

"No, no, I just mentioned this matter on a whim, and since the next person made things like this, then I naturally don't have this mind." Xia Yunchu sneered. The complicated feelings set off in his heart gradually calmed down, and he picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea with taste, feeling the fragrance on her body unscrupulously, and sighed in his heart, if the woman in front of him was his wife, how good would it be......

Ah Hua walked in happily with a few paintings, and said with a smile: "Young lady, the young masters and young ladies in the courtyard have already written poems and paintings. Please also ask the young lady to take a look. ”

"Well, okay, you can take it out first and put it on the drawing board in the yard." Shen Qingli smelled the ink. Hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and Ah Hua looked at it, and immediately came to his senses. Ran out in a panic.

Immediately, Peony's displeased voice came from outside: "I said that I was not allowed to take those paintings into the house, why can't I remember them?" ”

Ah Hua stupidly stepped forward and fixed the paintings to the drawing board. While Peony wasn't paying attention, he made a grimace at her. Mu An saw it in his eyes, sneered, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Ah Hua, are these all paintings taken from the art exhibition?" Why are there so many? ”

"Of course, the fourth young master said that there are a total of sixteen young masters and young ladies who participated in the poetry and painting, of which nine are painting and nine are writing poems." Ah Hua laid out the drawing board one by one, and looked at the paintings on it with interest, she was illiterate and could not read the poems on it.

"Isn't that eighteen in all?" Mu An was puzzled.

"Oh, you're stupid! Naturally, those two people can draw and write poetry. Ah Hua glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "It's okay to sue you, those two people are the fourth young master and Miss Sakura, and the fourth young master took Miss Sakura's painting, and it happened that Miss Sakura happened to take the fourth young master's." ”

"Do the two of them know?" Mu An wondered.

"I don't know." Ah Hua blinked and said, "When they finished painting and piled them aside, and then added poems, they took them one by one, and they just happened to take each other's." ”

At this time, Peony came over and ordered: "The young lady said, when the ink of these paintings is dry, move to the bottom of the corridor, and the young lady will look at the paintings there." ”

"Got it!" Ah Hua replied lukewarmly.

Peony glanced at her, turned and left.

Xia Yunchu had no intention of leaving, but now that he heard that Shen Qingli was the judge of this art exhibition, he became even more interested, and hurriedly walked out of Qingxin Garden, and instructed the personal servant who was waiting there: "Go and tell Prince Sù, just say that there is a poetry and painting club in Mufu, let him come over." ”

The little guy took the order and left.

"Wait." Xia Yunchu seemed to think of something again, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and beckoned to him, the little guy understood, and hurriedly leaned over, Xia Yunchu raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, bit his ear and muttered, the little guy's eyes flickered, nodded, and left in a hurry.

Xia Yunchu straightened his clothes at this time, walked towards Qingxinyuan with his footsteps easily, and almost bumped into someone when he turned around, Wu Liying hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the little girl walked in a hurry, I hope the son will forgive me." ”

"Get up! Great day, I don't blame you. Xia Yunchu glanced at her coldly and walked into the courtyard.

"Thank you, Childe." Wu Liying's face was embarrassed, and when he walked away, he entered the courtyard quietly.

Shen Qingli was standing under the corridor and covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, looking at the paintings with great interest, and among the six paintings sent over this time, four were landscape paintings.

Two of them are depicted with human figures.

One is a veiled woman half-hidden behind the bead curtain, holding a fan in her hand, the fan is depicted with a distant ink-colored landscape, no matter from the foundation or artistic conception, this painting is a superior work, the poem added above can vaguely see that the title is a resentment, and the handwriting is not very clear.

The other is the silhouette of a man standing by the lake, facing the moonlight, as if recalling something, the person who added the poem is obviously a woman, the handwriting is all decent hairpins, and she is waiting to read the poem carefully, but she sees Xia Yunchu returning from outside. Seeing that Shen Qingli was covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, he laughed: "If the young lady is inconvenient." I'll leave the errand of commenting on poetry to help you see, although I don't have the talent of a young lady. But there is still a little bit of Zhong Bo, and the young lady just waits for the final ruling. ”

"Then I'll bother Xia Shizi." Shen Qingli smiled and had to retreat into the house.

"Cousin-in-law." Wu Liying saw that the boy was lingering in front of those drawing boards, her face flushed slightly, and she asked quietly, "Who is he?" ”

"Xia Shizi of the Guogong Mansion." Shen Qingli casually took the fan, fanned it gently, and said, "I have already seen these paintings." The winners were the two figure drawings. ”

Wu Liying was pleasantly surprised, but she didn't squeak, she just said softly, "The next batch is full of talented and beautiful pictures, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that these two won't be able to enter the eyes of my cousin." ”

"Let's see." Shen Qingli said with a smile, "Although it's just a fun time at the moment, we still have to strive for justice." ”

While the two were talking, Xia Yunchu picked out the two figure paintings from those paintings in a good manner. praised: "If the painting is good, the poem is good." ”

Shen Qingli smiled: "I picked these two paintings, I don't want to, they coincide with the world." ”

Xia Yunchu was overjoyed. Busy said: "It seems that I really have a good understanding with the young lady!" ”

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

Xia Yunchu knew that he was speechless, and saw Ah Hua and Tao Zhi coming in one after another with the paintings, and hurriedly said, "I'll go over and have a look first." Help the young lady pick out two paintings. ”

Shen Qingli had no choice but to respond, and said to Wu Liying: "You also help the prince to take a look." ”

Wu Liying will know. Nodding, he walked out with his skirt in hand.

The two discussed it in style. Only then did the unanimous opinion pick out two paintings from it, and put them next to the two paintings that were picked out before, although they are both figure paintings, but there is a world of difference, the second batch of figure paintings, whether from the foundation or from the artistic conception, can not be compared with the previous two.

Xia Yunchu directly abandoned the two paintings he had just picked out, shook his head and said, "These two paintings are eliminated directly, and you will have to spend more time on the eyes of the young lady." ”

Wu Liying had to nod in agreement.

At this time, a small servant hurriedly came in and said a few words to Xia Yunchu, Xia Yunchu nodded with a smile in his eyes, and when the third batch of paintings was presented, he seemed to be more interested than the first two batches, and looked more carefully, and looked at it repeatedly for a long time before he could pick out two paintings, and asked Wu Liying casually: "How about these two paintings?" ”

"Okay." Wu Liying replied truthfully.

"What do you mean it's okay? So in your opinion, which is better? Xia Yunchu was a little impatient and said, "Forget it, it's better for everyone to judge each other, and then let the young lady decide." ”

Wu Liying had no choice but to nod in response.

It can be seen that the majestic palace map must be from the hands of the prince, except for the prince, who can have such a mind?

There is also a picture of a hundred birds, which can barely be seen.

Xia Yunchu wrote down his opinions without thinking: the palace map ranks first, the ladies picture is second, the talent picture is third, and the bird picture is fourth.

Wu Liying thought for a long time, and the order was slightly different from him, but she ranked the talent picture second, the bird picture ranked third, and the lady picture fourth.

Without exception, the two of them were the first to recommend the palace map.

Xia Yun's heart was relaxed for a while.

Peony told Shen Qingli about the order of Xia Yunchu and Wu Liying, Shen Qingli looked at the paintings from a distance, and already had an idea in his heart, and said: "There is no doubt that the palace picture is the leader, and it is said that the hundred bird pictures should be ranked second, but it is a pity that a drop of ink on his painting destroys the whole picture, so it can only be ranked fourth, so I agree with Xia Shizi's opinion."

"Hahaha, young lady, we heroes see the same thing! It was precisely because of that drop of ink that I ranked the Hundred Birds Chart fourth. Xia Yunchu smiled heartily, he didn't dare to say that he had a good heart.

In his mind, Mu Yunting's sharp eyes suddenly flashed, and he couldn't help but look cold, but he didn't dare to provoke that person again.

"What the prince said is extremely true!" Shen Qingli smiled and instructed Peony, "Peony, you use flower juice to copy the poems on the painting and show it to me." ”

One is that she doesn't want to smell the ink, and the other is that she doesn't know the dragon flying and phoenix dancing in the handwriting on the painting, so she asked the peony to copy it, which just solved the embarrassment that she didn't know those words.

Peony hurriedly took the flower juice and copied the poems on the four paintings on rice paper and presented them to her.

Xia Yunchu and Wu Liying stood in front of the drawing board, reading those poems carefully, and for a while, the courtyard was quiet, and everyone almost held their breath.

In the bushes not far away, Mama Yang asked in a low voice, "Wood, which batch of paintings did you mix those medicines with?" ”

Yu Mutou squinted and replied: "Naturally, it is mixed in the last batch of paintings, Mama rest assured, once the young lady approaches those paintings, it doesn't take a cup of tea, she will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, faint to the ground, as for what the consequences are, just think about it, I promise that by this time tomorrow, her child will be gone." ”

"You're a kid who can do it." Mama Yang smiled coldly and poked his head with her hand, "You go back first, don't enter the house in the near future, and talk about it when the rumor passes." ”

"Yes, the subordinate obeys." Yu Mutou laughed and stepped back.

Mama Yang snorted coldly, pulled a leaf casually, turned around and retreated.

The Xu sisters stood in the shade of the tree, and happened to see her back in a hurry, Xu Huishan sneered: "Oh, isn't that Mama Yang next to the young lady?" What are you doing sneakily in the bushes? ”

"Hmph, what else can you do? It's probably not a good thing, in this deep house compound, which corner is clean, instead of staring at the bottom of other people's pots, it is better to care more about your own things. Xu Huixuan glanced at her sister, cleared her throat and said, "I heard that the prince is also here, is he here to participate in the art exhibition?" ”

At this time, the figures of several Yingying Yanyan were walking towards the two of them together, led by Miss Chen Er from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she looked much more ruddy than before, and the whole person became radiant, Xu Huishan smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Miss Chen is also here, has she been in good health recently?" ”

"Thank you Sister Shan for your concern, I have already recovered." Second Miss Chen smiled disapprerovingly, raised her hand and pointed to the side of Bishui Lake, and said with a smile, "The fourth young master said that the Yongding Marquis Mansion has built a new rainbow bridge, let us go over and have a look, the two sisters might as well go together." ”

"Let's be together, then!" Xu Huixuan replied lukewarmly.

Sure enough, on the surface of the clear water lake, there is an arch bridge depicted with colorful colors, which is like a rainbow after the rain, and the reflection in the water is combined, which has a unique scenery.

The girls laughed, lifted their skirts, and went to the bridge to play, just on the bridge, but heard a melodious flute sound from the pavilion opposite, through the half-hidden window, you can clearly see the moon-white figure and the thin face of the person inside.

Miss Chen's heart was pounding.

No wonder I haven't seen him all this time, it turns out that he has hid here.

My heart was turning back and forth, but I heard an exclamation from Qingxinyuan, and then, someone ran out of it in a panic, shouting in a panic as they ran: "Doctor, please doctor!" (To be continued......)
