"Qingyan." A voice approached from the other end of the corridor, Gu Qingyan turned around, and saw Su Tanxue walking over with Guo'er.

Su Tanxue was dressed in a snow-blue dress and a long dress of lotus pigment yarn, which came in full, and the butterflies on the skirt were also swaying, although it was not very gorgeous, but it was a little more energetic than Su Tanxue in the past.

Gu Qingyan waited for her to walk in front of her, looked carefully, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Su Tanxue said: "It's all good." Qingyan, how are you? ”

Gu Qingyan understood that she must have known what had happened to her, so she didn't say much, just said that it was okay, so she invited Su Tanxue into the private room to talk.

Moon Shadow and Youlan also followed, after all, the excitement outside was the same whether they could see it or not, Moon Shadow went to prepare some snacks for everyone, and Youlan made tea on a plate.

Gu Qingyan asked about Su Tanxue's situation when she came in, and asked her if she was used to living here? Did these people embarrass her or anything, and before Su Tanxue could say anything, Youlan interjected: "If the fourth girl can't trust the people in our building, she can take Miss Su and take care of it herself." ”

Su Tanxue listened, covered her mouth and snickered, while Gu Qingyan flew over with a roll of her eyes.

After living in this Yuhualou for a while, Su Tanxue also understands Youlan's temperament, she is good in both appearance and her own talent, but this mouth is just a little damaged in front of acquaintances, Youlan Mei said: All the good words and good words have been said in front of the guests, and this is not a good thing for outsiders to say about those beautiful scenes?

When everyone heard this, they laughed and passed by.

Gu Qingyan didn't raise the bar with her, so as not to make her talk more and more, so she just asked her: "Tanxue was invited by the third brother to teach you how to paint, how did you learn to paint?" Can you improve? ”

It's okay not to ask, as soon as you ask, Youlan's face changed as soon as she asked, Gu Qingyan didn't know why, and looked at Su Tanxue.

Su Tanxue hurriedly came out to play a round: "Sister Youlan is sensitive to color, and the painting color she brings out is the best among all the sisters and sisters. ”

Youlan raised her head proudly, Gu Qingyan chuckled, and it happened that Yueying came in with the lotus root flour cake from outside, saying that it was just out of the pot, so she asked for a copy first.

Gu Qingyan said: "Moon Shadow is a good painter, what does Tanxue think of her paintings?" ”

As he spoke, he put a piece of osmanthus cake in his mouth and blew it himself, and then put it on the small saucer in front of Su Tanxue.

Su Tanxue smiled at her, pointed to a painting not far away, and asked Gu Qingyan to look there: "What do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Qingyan put down the chopsticks in his hand and walked towards the painting, which was a willow shore pavilion, and a stone road was full of small wild flowers, and there were a few butterflies parked on the flowers, I don't know if they were picking pollen or resting.

The fine willows surrounding the pavilion, with the breeze blowing, from time to time falling small yellow petals, there is a girl sitting on her back in the pavilion, although she can't see the face, but she can see the graceful posture, she seems to be holding her chin with one hand, while thinking about something, maybe.

Take a closer look at the color of the painting, whether it is the color of the flower or the color of the girl's dress, it is very similar to the color of these things in reality, Gu Qingyan knows that this eighty percent is due to Su Tanxue.

After all, she had seen the painting of Moon Shadow before, although the technique was not ordinary, but it was still a little worse than vivid, but now it has made great progress.

Gu Qingyan looked at the scenery in this painting as if it were real, and couldn't help but praise: "No wonder I always feel that something is different when I come in." After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I remember that this was also a landscape painting before, but I don't know where the third brother got it, and after looking at it for a long time, I feel distorted and boring." ”

"That's it, a few days ago, Moon Shadow and a few others painted day and night for a few days, and the paintings up and down the building were removed and replaced with new ones." Youlan came to pour tea, and it was precisely because of this that they had to go out yesterday to buy some more materials for painting.

Moon Shadow lowered her head a little embarrassed, but she remembered that day Bai Li Mo inspected the results of the girls in the building and Su Tanxue learning to paint, and the girls in front of her just glanced at it and thought it was okay and didn't say anything, until she saw the work she took out, Bai Li Mo could be said to have said all the words of praise she could say, and with that relieved and happy expression, she held Moon Shadow high.

Immediately afterwards, he said that he was going to change the painting in the private room in this building, and this move had already been rumored, which was to attract a large number of famous sons and gentlemen in the city who loved to paint for Moon Shadow.

Gu Qingyan chatted with them to know this, but she didn't know what to think of, so she joked about Youlan: "I'm a little curious about how the third brother reacted when he saw Youlan's painting?" ”

As soon as Gu Qingyan's words fell, not only Su Tanxue and Yueying couldn't help laughing, but Guo'er, who had never spoken, was secretly snickering, and when Gu Qingyan saw it, he even looked like he was watching the play.

Youlan knew that Gu Qingyan was deliberately teasing her, and her painting skills Yuhua didn't know who was up and down the building, and no one knew it, which was strictly forbidden by Baili Mo to show it in front of the guests, so you can see how bad it is.

But she didn't shy away from it, but said in a slightly sour tone: "What else can you react?" ”

Moon Shadow chuckled, whispered to Gu Qingyan's ear, and said, "The third master saw it, and he didn't blame him for not being annoyed, but he couldn't stand up straight with a smile." ”

"It didn't stop laughing all day." Su Tanxue also added.

Although Baili Mo is not arrogant, it is rare to laugh directly in front of everyone, so that day when everyone saw Bai Li Mo praising the moon shadow, and then not long after holding a picture of Youlan and laughing, they thought that Youlan had hit a big luck, and there was a good mood in front of Bai Limo.

Gu Qingyan was also a little surprised, her third brother was also a person who could jump on his face, and the things that made Baili Mo laugh out of shape in her memory could be counted with her fingers.

"What did she draw?" Gu Qingyan probed and asked curiously.

Moon Shadow said, "It's also a famous painting, called the Chicken Peck Rice Picture." ”

The words fell, and then Moon Shadow saw Gu Qingyan choking on a mouthful of lotus root flour cake, and coughed violently, which frightened Su Tanxue and Youlan to hand over the tea and pat their backs.

Moon Shadow was also stunned, and glanced at Guo'er for a while, at a loss.

"Eh, my little aunt, you just woke up not long ago, and if you toss yourself again, we will be guilty!"

Youlan took the glass of water that Gu Qingyan had drunk, and looked at her face that was red from coughing, thinking that Yueying didn't say anything too exciting, isn't it just a picture of herself pecking rice, as for one laughed for a day after watching it, and the other choked directly after listening to it.

Gu Qingyan kept waving her hand, signaling that there was nothing wrong, and after a while, she gasped and comforted everyone: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"Qingyan, don't worry, are you really okay?" Su Tanxue looked at Gu Qingyan's flushed face worriedly.

Gu Qingyan shook her head, patted her hand, and then said, "Do you want to know why the third brother can laugh all day?" ”

Everyone nodded in unison.

Gu Qingyan beckoned, letting Youlan get closer to herself: "You go and bring your picture to me to see, and I'll tell you." ”

After hearing this, Youlan glared at Gu Qingyan, and then muttered out, the painting was pressed under her pillow in her room, and she had to go back and get it.

When I went out, I didn't forget to look downstairs, and I saw that the fight downstairs was over, but the five big and three thick old men didn't mean to stop, but the little steward was calm, sitting on a square table with his legs crossed, shaking a folding fan in his hand and talking in his mouth, half-threatening and half-reasonable talking to the other side.

There were also people in the corridor who discussed: "To deal with such unreasonable people, why bother talking nonsense, beat up and throw it out." ”

"If you do business, you still don't want to make such a fuss, otherwise wouldn't it be true that you are selling fake news?"

Youlan passed behind her, and said in her heart: There are still a few people who have a bit of brains, otherwise she should have suggested to Baili Mo that the guests of Yuhualou should set up some checkpoints.

In the private room, Gu Qingyan didn't care about the things outside and downstairs outside the house, anyway, someone would come to tell her in the end, so she just chatted with Su Tanxue.

"Have you ever seen your brother Yan?"

"I saw him, asked him if he was okay at home, and talked to him about me here."

"Well, Chu Heng, can you still see it?" Gu Qingyan chatted with a pair.

Su Tanxue also followed her words and said, "Very little." But she said very little, after a few conversations, Gu Qingyan always felt that something was different, in the past, when she chatted with each other, Su Tanxue always asked more, but later these times, although Su Tanxue began to take the initiative, it was always Gu Qingyan who asked more.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyan had an idea in his heart that was not revealed.

Not long after, Youlan took the painting back to the private room, and directly stuffed the painting into Gu Qingyan's arms: "The fourth girl can see it for herself." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled and unfolded the drawing paper, and when he looked at the painting on it, he was also happy, and laughed unabashedly for a while, and then said, "Come on, I have to compensate you for this matter." ”

"Yo Yo, my little aunt and grandmother, you're done with the fun, and you said that you want to compensate me, Youlan can't afford it."

"No, no, I mean, the third brother laughed, most likely, not because of your painting itself, but because he reminded him of a mess of mine."

When Gu Qingyan said this, Youlan suddenly came to her senses and came up: "Then talk about it quickly." ”

Gu Qingyan cleared her throat and talked about what happened when she was a child: "In the past, Master would also invite our husband and teacher to teach us poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”

On that occasion, the teacher who taught painting assigned an assignment and asked the students to draw a picture of the flowers, birds, fish and insects they wanted to draw.

Gu Qingyan and Zong Yue, Bai Limo, Beiming, Dongli, and Dongqing, Dongxin, and the twelve ghost guards are all students who have to hand in their homework, which makes Gu Qingyan unable to copy if he wants to, and he thinks about what to draw for several days, and the picture in his mind is very good, and he is like a waste person when he mentions the pen, and he grinds for several days, and the night before he is about to hand in his homework, Beiming finds a "chicken pecking rice map" for Gu Qingyan and asks her to follow the drawing.

"And then?" Youlan can't wait to know the back.

Gu Qingyan said: "I can't rub the paper, so I can only shine from the left and draw to the right, but you said, it's not very difficult for the chicken to peck the rice, but I just can't draw it, the chicken, drew a round head, just drew a mouth, and then drew four legs like this..."

As Gu Qingyan spoke, he dipped his fingers in water and drew on the table.

"Wait, Qingyan, how many legs did you say you draw?" Su Tanxue heard a key word.

Gu Qingyan said helplessly: "Four." I didn't draw the wings and tail because I didn't know how to draw them. ”

The crowd couldn't help laughing.

Youlan looked at the painting on her side, and it was a two-legged chicken with wings and a tail.

"Don't you have a picture to draw it?"

Gu Qingyan replied: "Yes, if you can see it, you may not be able to draw it clearly, forget it, I continued, just this picture is still the consequence of tossing for half a night, and finally drew a few grains of rice, and it was easy to finish, I don't think there is anything wrong, and I handed it over without looking at it the next day." ”

"Then the gentleman is going to faint." Youlan looked at the chicken on the table that was gradually drying, not to mention the four legs, each leg and paw were drawn like bamboo skewers, and there was no chicken.

Gu Qingyan suddenly laughed: "I'm not dizzy!" Sir is still very able to regulate himself. It was only then that I was stopped learning to draw, probably because I thought I was hopeless. ”

What Gu Qingyan didn't know was that after Mr. went home, he vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and the next day he quit and never went to Peach Blossom Stream again.

As for Bailimo's reaction, it was naturally that after Mr. saw Gu Qingyan's painting, he couldn't say a word in shock, so he could only secretly pound the table and let everyone study by themselves.

Bailimo and they were still playful teenagers at that time, and when Mr. was not there between classes, they went to get Gu Qingyan's painting, and it was okay not to look at it, but they laughed a lot when they saw it.

"Saw it all?" Su Tanxue asked, this was laughed at by everyone, how unbearable it was, if he was like this, he would be ashamed to death.

Gu Qingyan nodded indifferently: "Well, the second brother, the third brother, Dongli, Beiming, Nanke, Xidu, Dong Xin, Dong Qing, Dong Wei, Dong Yu..."

After counting it like this, a sentence finally came: "Anyway, after that day, the whole Peach Blossom Stream, the old and the young, the literary and martial arts, all knew that I had drawn four bamboo skewers, legs, no wings, no tail, and a crippled chick pecking rice." ”

Everyone held their foreheads, and they didn't know what to say, Youlan also understood, Baili Mo really didn't laugh at her painting, after all, compared to Gu Qingyan, she was a little witch.

"Disrespectful, disrespectful." Youlan blurted out.

Gu Qingyan also replied: "Accept and concede." ”
