In the following days, Han Limo would always take time to go to Xingning Village to visit the mother and daughter. That night, Han Limo lit the oil lamp for the Queen Mother, and then lit a fire to put the newly purchased medicinal herbs into a small pot to boil.

Little Peach sat on a small stool and ate the meat buns brought by Han Limo, and when she bit into it, her mouth was full of oil.

The queen mother was half-leaning on the head of the bed, and she couldn't sleep for some reason recently, and because of her long-term illness, her eyes had sunken, and she was thinking that her big limit might really come.

"Little Peach, come and talk to your mother!" The Queen Mother beckoned to Little Peach.

Little Peach wiped her mouth with her sleeve and came to her mother's arms.

"Mother!" Little Peach buried her head in her arms, "Mother, don't you really want to eat steamed buns?" The buns my brother bought are delicious, just as delicious as last time! ”

The queen mother smiled and said, "Mother's one is left for you to eat tomorrow!" ”

"Little Peach, raise your head and let my mother take a good look at you!"

Little Peach raised her head, looking at her face at the moment and didn't feel afraid, the Queen Mother stroked her face and arranged her hair, this child is so likable no matter how you look at it.

"Mother, you look so good when you laugh, little peach likes to watch her mother smile, don't kill me in the future!" Little Peach looked at her mother smiling, and also reached out and touched her face.

"Okay, my mother won't kill you!" The Queen Mother gently took the six-year-old intimate little padded jacket back into her arms.

Little Momoko pressed her face against her chest and hugged it hard.

"Mother, why don't you speak?" After a long time, Little Peach asked.

"Mother?" Little Peach raised her head, looked at her mother's chin, and called softly.

"Mother, are you asleep?" Little Momoko stood up this time and shook her shoulder.

Little Peach cried.

"Brother, my mother is ignoring me!"

Han Limo, who was facing away from the mother and daughter decocting medicine, shook his body, and his eyes were so red.

The young man held the little girl in his arms and looked at the middle-aged couple who no longer spoke on the bed, his lips trembling slightly.

It seems to be saying, "Auntie, I will take good care of the little peach, don't worry!" ”

Little Peach's mother still didn't get through it.

On the day of the funeral, Xiao Taozi was surprisingly quiet, just standing beside Han Limo, holding his big hand with his small hand, looking at the Taoist priest who was doing things, not crying or making trouble, without saying a word.

Han Limo looked at this little girl with a calm and unwavering face, so strong that it made people feel distressed, sighed deeply in his heart, his big hand tightened his little hand, and the little peach felt the movement of the big brother's hand, and hugged him with his hands.

On this day, Little Peach no longer has a mother.

"Will you follow my brother in the future?" Han Limo asked softly.

Little Peach didn't speak, but nodded heavily.

The little peach left Xingning Village, and since then Han Limo has a little girl by his side.

In the inn, the pot-bellied shopkeeper saw that there was a little doll dressed as a beggar in the store, and turned around and asked Xiao Wang: "Whose child is this?" Xiao Wang, go and give her something to eat, let her go, don't affect the business of the store! ”

Xiao Wang explained: "Shopkeeper, this kid is not here to ask for food, this is Limo's sister!" ”

The shopkeeper sighed, but seeing that she was not clean, he was afraid that it would affect his business, so he waved his hand, "Take her to the backyard, don't stay here." ”

"Hey, okay, let's go!"

"Let's go, little peach, let's go play in the backyard!" Little Peach obediently followed him, and on the way, he looked back twice to look at the person who even Uncle Xiao Wang had to whisper to flatter, and there seemed to be some sadness in his little eyes.

Han Limo doesn't have much time to spend with Xiao Taozi, she is alone most of the day, only occasionally when she is free, she takes some food for Xiao Taozi and talks to her.

He has been paying attention to the changes in Little Momoko's heart for the past few days, and the more calm and casual she becomes, the more uneasy his heart becomes.

She's just a six-year-old child, so why doesn't she even let herself cry?

Han Limo hoped that she could cry and make a fuss, so that he would feel a little more at ease.

Today's little peach is very different, she changed into a new thick dress and a pair of cotton shoes, in the middle of the yard, the little girl lowered her head, two little hands pulled up her clothes to look inside and out, the little cotton shoes gently stepped on the floor and walked a few steps, these days there is no expression on her face at this time but there is a hint of smile.

"Is it pretty?" A voice sounded behind him, and when Xiao Taozi saw someone, she put away her smile while turning around, but Han Limo still captured this moment.

"Good looking. Brother, why did you come in, don't you have to be busy? Little Peach stood in place, her hands hidden behind her back, a little embarrassed.

He was going to add some warm clothes to Little Peach after he paid his salary, until yesterday he saw Little Peach watching other children play alone from afar, no one wanted to play with her, and everyone else called her a little beggar and disliked her, so he borrowed some money from Brother Wang and bought two new clothes.

Han Limo said softly: "Don't be busy, little peach come here." ”

Little Peach obediently walked over and came to her brother's side.

"Hungry or not, I'll get you something to eat!" He rubbed this little girl who was no longer a cat-faced, now she was clean and cute.

Little Peach shook her head, "Brother, I'm not hungry!" ”

"Little Peach."

"Huh?"

"Is it okay for my brother to grow up with you?"

"Good!"

"Brother will take you somewhere in the future!"

"Brother, where is it?"

"I don't know, but I'll know when you grow up!"

"Brother."

"Here it is!"

"I want to read and write!"

"Okay, brother will teach you!"

In the middle of the courtyard, there were two people sitting, you and me, until Xiao Taozi fell asleep quietly on Han Limo's shoulder.

……

After a few months, the little peach has grown a lot taller, and she is gradually accepted by the shopkeeper as she is well-behaved and sensible.

On this day, a young man came to the store.

"Guest, do you want something to eat?" Little Peach trotted over and asked.

The young man smiled and shook his head, "No! ”

Little Peach sighed, "Then what are you going to do?" There's no accommodation here! ”

"Where is Han Limo?" The young man didn't answer his question directly, and when he glanced around the store, he didn't find Han Limo's figure.

Little Momoko tilted her head and asked, "Who are you, what are you looking for my brother?" ”

Brother? The young man was stunned, when did Han Limo have a sister? But maybe the little sister will call her brother when she sees anyone, he replied with a chuckle: "I am his friend, and I will naturally come when I miss him!" ”

Little Peach looked the young man in front of her up and down, and finally said, "Then you wait a while!" Little Peach went straight to the backyard.

After a while, a plain-clothed man walked out with a little girl, and the young man shouted happily, "Brother Han! ”

"Brother Fuyou, why did you come here?" Han Limo thought that it would be Su Fuyou, and when he heard Xiao Taozi describe what kind of person he was talking about, he knew that he couldn't be wrong.

The young man named Su Fuyou didn't know when there was an extra letter in his hand, he raised the letter in his hand, "Good news, guess what?" ”

Han Limo shook his head, Su Fuyou smiled, handed him the letter, and said casually: "You take it apart and take a look!" ”

Han Limo didn't take it, but pointed at himself with his finger and asked, "For me?" "I don't even have relatives, who will write to me!

Su Fuyou directly opened the letter, handed it to him, and said, "Master Hongyan held the Danqing Conference!" ”

Han Limo asked rhetorically, "You don't know him?" ”

Su Fuyou said: "Naturally, I don't know him, but this Gucheng painter must know me!" ”

Han Limo looked at him with disdain, when did he learn to blow his mouth, "What the hell is going on?" Didn't you already compete in the academy last time, and what did you do with the Danqing Conference? ”

Su Fuyou no longer joked, but turned to a serious face, and explained: "That Danqing competition is just a competition between academies, it's nothing, this Danqing conference is for the entire Gucheng people, I think as long as you study Danqing, you will think about the Fa to participate!" ”

"So this letter is an invitation?" Han Limo asked.

"Yes!"

Han Limo smiled: "Then what are you going to do for me, this is obviously your invitation!" He stuffed the letter back into Su Fuyou's hand.

Su Fuyou said seriously: "This is your chance, do you want to be a shopkeeper here for the rest of your life?" ”

"Also, you should know who I am, and I'm not after these things, so this conference won't mean anything to me!"

Looking at his hesitant expression, Su Fuyou knew that he must have been shaken, no one would give up what they liked casually, even if others would, but he knew that Han Limo would never put down the pen in his hand!

In addition, if he really wants to help Han Limo, for his people and talents, he shouldn't be a shopkeeper in a small inn at the behest of others.

Su Fuyou grabbed his shoulders with both hands and continued to persuade: "Brother Han, I know your Danqing, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you!" As the old saying goes, there is no such shop in this village! ”

"When?" Han Limo asked.

"You promised?" Su Fuyou asked in surprise.

Han Limo nodded, maybe he should fight for himself again, and for the sake of the little girl beside him.

"Today next month!" Su Fu Youdao.

"Good! I'll go! Han Limo said.

"Then it's decided, I'll give you a cheer when the time comes, don't lie to me!"

The little peach on the side didn't understand what the two were discussing at all, but looking at his brother's constantly changing expression, it should be a very important thing, so he didn't bother, and after the two finished talking, the little peach asked in a milky voice: "Brother, what does Danqing do?" ”

Han Limo, as usual, rubbed the little peach's head and said gently: "Danqing, it's just painting!" ”

Little Momoko replied, "Then brother, do you also know how to draw?" Little Momoko also wants to learn to draw! ”

Han Limo said: "Okay, teach you!" ”

Su Fuyou looked at him and squeezed his eyebrows, when did you have a little follower?

"Your shopkeeper's daughter?" Su Fuyou asked.

Han Limo said: "No, this is my sister!" ”

He sighed, didn't ask in detail, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, so he didn't stay long, only left a sentence, "I still have something to do, today is mainly to inform you, don't forget next month's Danqing Conference!" If I don't see you, our brother won't be able to do it! ”

Han Limo shook his head and laughed, "Okay, I promise you!" ”

After Su Fuyou left, he looked at the invitation in his hand, since it was all on this, let's try it!

He carefully folded it and put it back in the envelope.

"Brother, what is this?" Seeing that he treated this small envelope so carefully, it must be a very important thing.

Han Limo carefully put it away, scratched her little nose, and said happily: "You'll know when the time comes!" ”

Danqing Conference, when all the painters in the entire Gucheng will gather together, if they can win at such a conference, it will definitely cause a sensation, no matter who it is at that time, it will be sought after and loved by countless people, which is undoubtedly an opportunity for scholars like Han Limo, an opportunity to gain a foothold in Chenggucheng.

Han Limo's danqing attainments, he is very confident, but he is not proud of it, in the next few days, as long as he is free, he will practice danqing in the yard.

When painting, the most important thing is to concentrate, guard against arrogance and rashness, and create wholeheartedly, in order to make works that are combined with mood and artistic conception, which is Hanchen's experience over the years, only by being calm, can we achieve the state of mind!

People who have a ravine in their hearts will naturally have a spirit when they write.

When the stroke fell, Han Limo put down the pen in his hand with satisfaction, and the little peach next to him opened his small mouth, as if he could stuff an egg, and his little face looked surprised, and he exclaimed: "Brother, you are so good, I like that flying butterfly so much!" "Although it is an ink painting, the butterfly is lifelike, as if it is really dancing, and it is about to jump out of the paper.

I haven't touched the pen for half a year, although I feel that it is a little worse, but I am quite satisfied, and the conference is coming, and I must practice diligently.

"If you like it, my brother will give it to you!" Han Limo chuckled.

"Okay, I'll show Xiao Dongzi tomorrow and tell them that my brother is amazing!" Xiao Dongzi is Xiao Taozi's new friend, and other children gradually accept Xiao Taozi, and he no longer worries that she feels lonely without friends to play with her.

"Good! It's good that the little peach is happy! ”

Han Limo still rubbed her little head habitually, and at the same time was thinking about the Danqing Conference in her heart.
