Chapter Eighty-Seven: Portrait
After Cui Wanqing was reborn in this life, she was afraid that her feelings for her father would not be able to restrain herself and completely explode.
Therefore, except for that time when the father personally came to inquire about the cause of the overboard, the father and daughter met once and never met separately again.
That time, I really cried very much, it can be said that I was grief-stricken, as if I wanted to cry out the grievances in my two lives.
scared the people who were waiting around him, lest this Miss Nine, who had been pinched, say something inappropriate, and all of them would follow and bring disaster.
Even the second Mrs. Cui, who was accompanying her, couldn't help but feel nervous, if she was sued by her stepdaughter in front of her husband, she would really have to go around without eating.
Even if she can give Yuan back, I am afraid that this matter will leave a mark in the heart of Second Master Cui.
Fortunately, Cui Wanqing's gaffe was well covered by the panic of escaping after death, and she didn't talk nonsense, so no one was suspicious.
Everyone thought that this poor Miss Nine was frightened and bold, and she was originally submissive, but now she can't even speak innocently.
After that, Cui Wanqing really didn't dare to see her father again, after all, there was an excuse to cover up the past last time, but if she said goodbye, she still cried and didn't look good, and others didn't think much about it, so it would be strange.
Today, as soon as the two uncles and their families left, the father sent someone to call him to meet in the study, and it was obvious that the weight of the two uncles was by no means light in his father's mind.
Cui Wanqing, who has been adapting to her new life for almost a year, thinks that she has been able to control her feelings for her father very well.
At the very least, this time I want to leave a good impression on my father, with the opportunity for my uncles to create zào, Cui Wanqing believes that she will have a good start with her father.
Thinking that it won't take too long, the relationship between himself and his father will improve, although he doesn't dare to say that he can be coquettish and willful like in his previous life, but at least he can get along without being indifferent, not embarrassed, and not being snubbed by his father.
Cui Wanqing couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, the smile in her eyes was sincere, and there was no falsification at all.
In her previous life, I am afraid that only Second Master Cui is sincere to her, so in this life, no matter who she is, she has to repay her father with her heart.
The most important reason why Cui Wanqing is so concerned about the future of the Cui family is that she no longer wants to see her father die early, and in this life, she will do her best to let her father have a comfortable and happy life.
She entered Bai Zhiyuan with a smile on her face, and was led straight to the place where the second master Cui was by the maid waiting at the door.
As soon as she entered the study door, Cui Wanqing saw her father, who was looking at a painting on the wall, with his hands behind his back and a somewhat desolate expression, looking at a painting on the wall seriously.
She couldn't help but smile, took two steps forward and curtsied, and said crisply: "My daughter has seen her father, and my father is blessed." ”
Second Master Cui shook his head slightly when he heard this, turned his face to see Cui Wanqing saluting, and wanted to help his daughter up with his own hands, but he thought it would be a bit abrupt to do so?
The daughter in front of her has seen her less, she is not as familiar as Yun'er, and she doesn't even get along with Ying'er as much as she does.
"Let's take our time, don't rush." Thinking of this, Second Master Cui paused, stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Get up, you and my father and daughter are sitting and talking." ”
Cui Wanqing got up with a smile, sat down on the official hat chair covered with royal blue embroidered chair cushions on the side, and looked at her father carefully with admiring eyes.
I saw that he was still as elegant as he remembered, with a hint of sadness in his expression, he looked younger, the beard on his chin was not very long, and the forehead lines on his forehead were not very deep, but his maturity and stability had not changed at all.
In her previous life, she was young and innocent and didn't understand feelings very well, but at this time, Cui Wanqing suddenly understood why Cao Yunxiu chose her father.
One is her mother, who lost her father when she was young, and in her heart, the eldest brother is like a father, who has always cared for her growth, so she has a unique affection for older men.
Second, there is a very attractive and unique charm in my father's body, which is like this now, so what about ten years ago?
A mature man who is mature and steady, and has a sad temperament that is different from others, is not much more attractive than those hairy young men of the same age?
Coupled with the special living environment of his mother, it is not uncommon to choose a handsome man who is married for the second time.
While Cui Wanqing was looking at the second master of Cui, this father, who was also looking at his daughter, didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Cui Wanqing, who came back to her senses first, simply took the initiative to ask: "I don't know what the father wants to tell his daughter when he asks his daughter?" ”
Cui Yongzhong was recalled by his daughter, and couldn't help blurting out: "Qing'er and your mother are really like, but your mother is the Danfeng eye of the Cao family, but you follow our family's apricot eye, alas, time flies, it's really fast, come, you come here." ”
Cui Yongzhong beckoned to his daughter and led her to see the portrait hanging on the wall.
Cui Wanqing could see at a glance that the woman in the painting was like the woman she saw in the mirror every day, and she muttered to herself, "Mother? ”
Cui Wanqing didn't dare to be sure, she didn't know why, she was a little excited, and she forgot to observe this painting, but she had a painting for years.
She turned her face and asked incredulously, "Father, is this my mother's portrait?" ”
Cui Yongzhong sighed with emotion: "Yes, this is painted by your father and I back then, and I found it today, just to give it to you, so that you can have a thought." ”
"Painted by hand" Cui Wanqing originally thought that her father and Cao Yunxiu had only been husband and wife for two years, and they were the shortest lady, I am afraid that the relationship would not be too deep, otherwise how could they ignore themselves, but they have always been partial to Cui Wanyun?
But looking at the portrait in front of me, although the painting art can only be said to be middle and upper, the person who painted this painting is very attentive.
The appearance and costumes of the women in the painting are very detailed, and the most rare thing is to paint the gentle and elegant charm vividly.
The image that had been lingering in my mind was now on the paper, and Cui Wanqing sighed: "This is Cao Yunxiu in my heart, gentle and soft, quiet and peaceful, it seems that my father has really loved, not really loved, how can he paint such a painting full of expression?" ”
Cui Wanqing doesn't know if what she thinks is right, sometimes, it's not that she doesn't love it, but it's too hurt to touch it, right?
Cui Wanqing suddenly wanted to ask her father, "If Cao Yunxiu is what you value most in your heart, then Aunt Liu, what is it to you?" ”
But when she saw her father's frowning brows and tightly pursed lips beside her, she smiled bitterly in her heart: "Is there any point in asking this?" These two women are dead, and they have to be distinguished if they are not dead, who cares more about him? ”
Anyway, there is never a shortage of women around Second Master Cui, even if these two are no longer there, there are still Second Mrs. Cui, Aunt Xiang, and Aunt Rong.
The courtyard of the deep house is a gathering of women, and the second master Cui will naturally never be lonely.
The sadness on his face never diminishes, and neither does the woman he is attracted to, and it's like a ridiculous cycle, repeated.
Cui Wanqing was originally happy in her heart, but at this moment, she suddenly lost interest, and she felt even more worthless for Cao Yunxiu.
She took a few steps back slightly, and thanked softly: "Daughter thanks father for the gift, speaking of which, daughter really has no memory of her mother, if she hadn't seen this portrait, Qing'er wouldn't have known that her mother and I are really so similar." ”
Cui Yongzhong nodded slowly, seeing that Cui Wanqing was unhappy, but he just thought that his daughter was missing her dead mother, but she really didn't expect that her daughter felt that she was too affectionate, so she became ruthless.
He smiled lightly, asked Cui Shan to carefully roll up Cao Yunxiu's portrait, and reached out and clicked on a painting on the case, a brocade box.
He said in a gentle voice: "There is also a pair of Shen Siru here, Shen everyone's peony competition map, I heard that you prefer peonies now, and your father gave it to you to enjoy." And in this brocade box, there are some old things from your mother's relatives, so you can take them with you. ”
"Peony for glory! Really? Cui Wanqing was shocked, in her previous life, she had been searching everywhere for this painting, and she wanted to take a look, but unfortunately, the collectors had hidden it deeply and had never found it at all.
As a result, now this famous painting, just so simply, appeared in front of him, "Father gave it to you to enjoy, because I heard that you prefer peonies!" ”
My God, Cui Wanqing really felt that her heart was beating faster, and the qiē in front of her was simply making her fall into the abyss for a while, and suddenly ascending to the clouds for a while!
This contrast is too big, isn't it?
The most important thing is that since this peony is in the Cui family, why did he have to buy it at a high price in his previous life, but Cui Changjian, who loves money, is dead in his hand and does not sell it?
"Could it be that my father gave this painting to Cui Wanqing for the funeral?!" Yes, count the days, in the previous life, Cui Wanqing would be on the grave, but didn't all the grass grow tall?
A good daughter went so miserably, although she didn't care about it on weekdays, she didn't see each other, but she was also her own blood, and she died suddenly, I am afraid it would also touch his heart.
reminded him of the good memories he had with his wife, and then felt guilty about this daughter who died early, so he gave these two paintings and some of Cao Yunxiu's body to Cui Wanqing for the funeral, isn't it a reasonable thing?
Who would have thought that someone would give a priceless treasure to a little-known nine-year-old girl to be buried?! R1152
