Chapter 15: The Past

Early the next morning, Cuiyun was once again screaming by his ears. Chen Siye lamented that he was doing this, he obviously had the level of a famous person in the world, and he still had to do these rough jobs.

But complaining is complaining, you can't be lazy at all, and being discovered by Qiu Ju is another good beating.

After pouring the toilet, it was another set of colorful sunshine, and when I was full of energy, I washed up and went to buy food. He didn't go up to the third floor to eat this morning, first, because he wasn't asked to go, and second, he really had a headache when he was asked.

After breakfast and washing the dishes, Chen Siye returned to the house and sat at the desk to look through the geography of the season, but this geography is really obscure, there are few maps, most of them are text descriptions, and he is a little dazzled when he sees it. After a while, I thought about how to solve the problem of paintbrushes, and if it didn't work, I had to use charcoal instead.

At this time, a shout came from outside: "Chen Siye! Come out! Suddenly someone called him by name, startled him, and I don't know who it was, the girls in the building called him Xiaoyezi.

When he went out, he saw that it was Xiao Tao and Qiu Ju standing at the other end of the corridor and calling him, "Sister Xiao Tao, why are you here?" "No matter what, just call sister.

When I got closer, I saw Xiao Tao with an inviting look: "Chen Siye, thank me quickly." ”

Chen Siye wondered, thank you for what? How thanks? Is it okay to make a promise by yourself? What's wrong with Xiao Tao today.,I actually know to call him by name.,The attitude is much better than last time.,When I first met, I called the flower and the flower kept calling.。

"Can Sister Little Peach make it clear?"

Xiao Tao frowned and said, "You stupid melon, it's naturally a happy event for you to thank me!" ”

Chen Siye glanced at Qiu Ju on the side, with a mysterious smile on his face, and then looked at Xiao Tao's hands behind his back, and suddenly understood in his heart, and suddenly realized: "Oh, is Sister Xiao Tao here to send me something?" "As for what to send, he doesn't know.

Xiao Tao pouted and said, "It's not fun, that's guessing, then you guess what it is." ”

Chen Siye pretended to scratch his ears and cheeks, and thought for a long time before saying, "I can't guess this." ”

Xiao Tao took out a small long box from behind him with a happy face, "Oh, take a look." ”

The heart said that this little peach is really a child's heart, took the box and opened it, it was a pen, picked it up and looked at it, it was very similar to the pencil of later generations, a sharp end, but the refill inside was thicker than the pencil, it seemed to be a little thinner ink, he tried before, ordinary ink must be ground into ink before it can be used, and it usually does not fade. The ink of this pen should be specially made. The outer layer of the refill is wrapped in a thin layer of bark and has a fine carving to prevent the ink from sticking to your hands.

Chen Siye was pleasantly surprised: "Little Sister Tao, is this really for me?" "I'm really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, and I don't know what to do.

Xiao Tao said proudly: "This is specially made for you by my young lady, it is unique in this world, how about it, satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, satisfied!" Can you not be satisfied, "Sister Le Xuan is also here?" ”

Xiao Tao shook her head and said, "How can this little thing bother my young lady." ”

After saying that, he took his arm excitedly and walked to the hall, "Come and try the pen, we have everything ready." "Chen Siye said what's going on, see that you are more anxious than me.

When he came to the hall, he saw Cuiyun and Xiaochan sitting at a table, and the rice paper had been spread on the table, Xiao Tao pulled him to the table, and couldn't wait to say, "Let's try it." ”

Chen Siye glanced at Xiao Tao strangely, picked up the pen and lightly drew a few lines on the paper, and then swiped and signed the name. Well, the softness and hardness are moderate, the ink color is uniform, and it is not particularly black, so it is very easy to use.

Nodding with satisfaction, Chen Siye looked up at Xiao Tao, "This is very good, I am very satisfied." ”

However, Xiao Tao's expression on his face seemed to be a little stunned, and he looked at the women around him, and he also looked strange, so he only heard Xiao Tao say: "You're done trying?" Don't you make a picture? ”

Listening to Xiao Tao's words so straightforward, Chen Siye suddenly remembered that when he first came, in order to please Xiao Tao, he promised to paint her, and he suddenly realized that Xiao Tao was so impatient to let him paint for her. But at this time, everyone is there, if you paint Xiao Tao, the surprise value will definitely not be enough when you give Cuiyun a gift the day after tomorrow, but if you don't paint, you may offend Xiao Tao.

The thought raced, and he came up with an idea, "Oh yes! You have to make a painting, Sister Peach, sit down. Xiao Tao smiled and ran to sit down opposite him.

Looking at Qiu Ju, who was still standing on the side, Chen Siye said, "Sister Qiu Ju, sit down too, and I'll make you a picture of the four beauties." ”

Cuiyun, Xiaochan, and Qiu Ju were all surprised when they heard this, and they sat in a row with Xiao Tao on the stool, only Xiao Tao seemed to be displeased, but she didn't say anything.

Seeing that the four of them moved the four stools next to the table, Chen Siye said to himself: "I'll move another stool to sit and paint." Turning around to move the stool, suddenly his body staggered, half kneeling to the ground, his right arm seemed to touch the stool, only to hear him exaggerate and shout: "Ah, my arm, it hurts!" ”

Cuiyun, Xiaochan, and Xiaotao hurriedly got up and came over, and Xiaotao hurriedly said, "What's the matter?" Can you still draw? Cuiyun asked with concern, "Why are you so careless, does your arm hurt?" Xiaochan also asked with a worried face, "Are you okay?" ”

Chen Siye was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that Xiaochan and Cuiyun still cared about him, Xiaotao just wanted to paint, and Qiu Ju... Still sitting in place. Qiu Ju naturally wouldn't be deceived by his clumsy acting skills, and the corners of her mouth turned slightly up to watch him act.

Chen Siye seemed to be in unbearable pain, bared his teeth and grinned: "It's okay, it's just a little painful, Sister Peach, I can't do it anymore, why don't you paint another day?" "As long as Xiao Tao understands the others, it doesn't matter.

Xiao Tao looked unhappy, but there was no way, could he still let him paint with his left hand? I had to say, "Okay then." Go back to the house, and our sisters will whisper. ”

Chen Siye said in his heart that this is the effect I want, enjoying Cuiyun's warm little hand with him stood up, picked up the paintbrush, and went back to the house with a bitter face with his arms in his arms.

When he returned to the house and closed the door, he sat down at the desk and played with the paintbrush, and said that Le Xuan was really powerful, and this kind of pen could also be made, and it must be worth a lot of money, and he didn't know where to find a skilled craftsman.

With Cuiyun's face in his heart, Chen Siye began to paint according to the Cuiyun in his memory, it was really a little difficult, if it was for me, he would definitely draw it in a while if he was proficient in sketching, without modification. The main thing is that the ink can't be erased, and it can't be modified, so if the painting is costly, you have to start all over again.

After spending two pieces of paper in a row, Chen Siye sighed, and couldn't help but miss the convenience brought by technology, if there was a mobile phone to secretly take a photo, everything would be solved. My heart moved, and I asked, "System, can I redeem my mobile phone?" "This machine said that it cannot be exchanged for physical goods."

sighed, he had no choice but to continue painting, this time he played well, the outline was drawn and Cuiyun was the same, Chen Siye was excited, and was waiting to make persistent efforts, only to hear the door squeak, so frightened that his hand shook, and it was useless, he didn't have time to feel distressed, he hurriedly dropped the paintbrush and pulled a piece of paper to cover the painting, looked up and saw that it was Qiu Ju, and was busy frowning and covering his arm and shouting: "It hurts, ah!" Sister Qiu Ju is here. ”

Qiu Ju said angrily: "Don't pretend, I can see it a long time ago." Chen Siye said embarrassedly: "Sister Qiu Ju is really sharp-eyed. Qiu Ju had never heard of this word, and wondered: "What are the sharp eyes?" He explained: "Oh, that means Sister Qiu Ju, your eyes are like torches. ”

Qiu Ju sat down at the small table by herself: "Xiao Tao has already left." Chen Siye sighed and didn't say anything. Qiu Juqi said: "Don't you want to paint Xiao Tao?" ”

"No, it's just not yet. It's a bit of a coincidence today. ”

"Why?"

Chen Siye smiled mysteriously: "You'll know the day after tomorrow." ”

Qiu Ju also seemed to understand, and scolded with a smile: "You little thief is so cunning, you almost deceived me." ”

Chen Siye laughed dryly, Qiu Ju just squinted and smiled at him, seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, he looked for a topic and said: "Sister Qiu Ju, why does Sister Xiaochan rarely talk to me, does she hate me?" ”

Qiu Ju was silent for a moment and said, "Xiaochan, she... When I was young, like you, I begged for a living. "Chen Siye said in his heart that I was just dressed like a beggar at that time.

"Two years ago, in the cold winter of Layue, there was no Mingyue Tower at that time, and when I came to Jiangxia Mansion with Sister Le Xuan, I passed by a ruined temple outside the city." At this time, his eyes became fierce, and he continued: "I actually met two brutes who wanted to be rude to Xiaochan!" These two brutes only saw that Xiaochan was beautiful, but they didn't care that she was just a child, and tricked her out of the city to do that bad thing. Fortunately, I arrived in time to save Xiaochan. ”

Chen Siye was secretly speechless, he didn't expect Xiaochan to have this kind of past, and listened to Qiu Ju continue to speak: "Maybe it was because of this fright that Xiaochan became silent, even if it was with our sisters, it was only a few words, and strange men could hide and hide." ”

Qiu Ju took a sip of water and said: "But Xiaochan was born with a good voice, Sister Le Xuan intends to train her into a generation of famous artists, and it is indispensable to temper her on weekdays, and now she is much better than before." ”
