Chapter 23: The Han Family Comes
"The intention is the pen first, and the painting is the intention." Ren Shimin walked closer, lowered his head and carefully looked at the painting that had been polished by Ren Yao, and praised with surprise on his face, "Yaoyao, your progress in the past half a year is really unbelievable. ”
Half a year? She didn't paint for half a year......
Ren Yaoqi sighed in his heart, but he just pursed his lips and smiled.
"The fifth sister painted it really well." Ren Yihong looked at Ren Yaoqi and said a little shyly.
Ren Yihong is Ren Shimin's only son.
Aunt Fang has high expectations for this son, and she never lets it get involved in the affairs of the inner courtyard. In Ren Yaoqi's memory, this younger brother is shy, and he has a good relationship with her.
He is now studying scriptures and history with an old gentleman invited by the house with several other cousins of the Ren family, and his reading is acceptable, and he likes to paint, but his talent is not high.
Ren Yaoqi remembered that in the previous life, Ren Yihong went to the Fang family under the arrangement of Aunt Fang after Ren Shimin's death, and studied with the children of the Fang family.
Ren Yaoqi smiled politely at him.
At this time, the steward of the front yard came over and said that the thank you gift to the Han family had been prepared, and the fifth master asked the third master if he had time to go to the Han family with him.
Ren Yaochi tugged at Ren Shimin's sleeve and said dissatisfiedly: "Daddy, you haven't told us about the painting meeting yet." In addition to Mr. Chen and Yanbei Wang Shizi, who other famous artists participated in this painting meeting? What kind of painting style are they? ”
Ren Shimin looked at several children looking at him curiously, thought about it, and said to the steward: "The people of the Han family are also returning today, and if you go too much, you are afraid that it will cause trouble to others." Let the fifth brother go first today, and I'll visit you another day. ”
The steward retreated.
Ren Yaochi breathed a sigh of relief.
Ren Shimin stayed in the study this afternoon to talk to a few children about the painting meeting.
After dinner, the Ren family went to Ronghua Courtyard to say goodnight to Mr. Ren and Mrs. Ren. Ren Yaoyu officially moved into Ronghua Hospital.
In order to appease Ren Yaohua, Mrs. Ren rewarded her with a pair of beaded flowers, and she was also very kind to her when she spoke.
The fifth lady appeared with the fifth master, I don't know how the fifth master pleaded for the fifth wife, but the old lady Ren didn't punish her to go to the ancestral hall to think about it. When the husband and wife even stood together, their eyebrows kept coming and going.
The fifth old man salivated and pleaded for his daughter, and Mrs. Ren reluctantly agreed to let Ren Yaoyu come out of the ancestral hall and be grounded in her room.
After returning from Ronghua Courtyard, Ren Yaoqi asked people to sort out the box of clothing and jewelry that Ren Shimin brought back to her, and sent them to Ren Yaoyin, Ren Yaoying, and Ren Yaoting in the second room. Then he took the share given to Ren Yaohua and went to the east chamber opposite.
Seeing the clothes and jewelry sent by Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaohua said expressionlessly: "This is what your father bought for you, what are you doing here with me?" ”
Ren Yaoqi said with a smile: "The fourth sister, the seventh sister, the eighth sister, and the ninth sister all have it, so naturally you can't miss the third sister." My father said he had bought it for our sisters, so how could I keep it to myself? ”
When Ren Yaohua heard this, her face softened slightly.
Ren Yaoqi asked Jean Xi'er to hand over the things she brought to Ren Yaohua's eldest maid Turnip to collect.
A mother-in-law came in to talk to Ren Yaohua, and Ren Yaoqi saw that pen and ink rice paper was spread on the desk inside, so he walked over and took a casual look, but found that it was a half-drawn snow scene.
The ink on the painting had not yet dried, and it was obvious that Ren Yaohua was painting before she came in.
Ren Yaohua's paintings are very ordinary, and there are some traces of scribbling and alteration, but it can be seen that she is very attentive. Drawing and writing is not Ren Yaohua's specialty, and Ren Yaoqi knows that she doesn't like these things the most.
Ren Yaoqi had always felt that someone as proud as Ren Yaohua should not care about her father's opinion of her. Her attitude towards Ren Shimin is also indifferent on weekdays, and she rarely even speaks in front of him.
At this time, Ren Yaohua walked over, glanced at Ren Yaoqi, and then pulled the half-drawn snow scene on the table, crumpled it into a ball, and discarded it on the ground at will.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, and Ren Yaohua said coldly: "I painted casually if I had nothing to do, and the painting was wasted." It's not too early, you can go back. ”
Ren Yaochi nodded, and didn't ask much: "Then I'll go back first." After taking two steps, she paused and said, "The third sister might as well try gongbi painting, and if you can't determine the layout, you can use charcoal to compose first." ”
Ren Yaohua looked at Ren Yaoqi for a while, and it wasn't until Ren Yaoqi walked to the door that she said lightly: "Thank you for bothering." ”
On the second day, after returning from the Ronghua Courtyard, Ren Yaoqi was talking in the main room of the Li family, but a mother-in-law came in from the outer courtyard and asked the third lady to send someone to send the jar of cloud tea he brought back from the capital to the front yard.
"But what's the guest?" Ren Shimin's tea has always been precious to him, and it is generally only used to entertain his close friends, so Ren Yaochi asked such a sentence.
"It's someone from the Han family who is here." The housekeeper replied.
Ren Yaoqi's face changed slightly: "Is the Han family here?" ”
"Yes, Mrs. Han is here with Mr. Han and Miss Han." The housekeeper didn't notice Ren Yaoqi's face, and replied with a smile, "The fifth master said that he wanted to let Han Gongzi taste the good tea he brought back." ”
Ren Yaoqi no longer remembered whether the people of the Han family had been here in the previous life, and she had not paid attention to this family at all before the Han family withdrew from the marriage.
But will this life still follow the old path of another life?
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi stood up suddenly.
"Period?" Li called out in surprise.
Ren Yaoqi came back to her senses and found that everyone was looking at her, she tried to calm her breathing, she smiled and said: "Yesterday, I heard my father praise the Han family's good family style, I am very curious about what the young lady of the Han family looks like, mother, I will go to my grandmother's yard to see the young lady of the Han family." ”
