In front of me, there was a white expanse, and the red plum blossoms were blooming brightly, and the branches were piled up.

White, red, and women's dresses of different colors add a colorful and new vitality to the quiet plum garden.

Li Mingyun raised his pen and looked at the scenery in front of him.

She didn't know how Miss Hu was painting, and she didn't know if she could win her, but since she had agreed to paint, she had to do her best.

At the very least, make your trip worthwhile.

The second brother didn't draw it, so let her do it for her.

With a stroke of his hand, he sketched a bright red plum blossom, and with a stroke of the pen, a cluster of branches jumped on the paper.

The people next to them tried to be as quiet as possible, not daring to disturb them as they painted.

Mrs. Changping Hou had already moved to the pavilion not far away, Miss He followed and sat next to her, and Ji Yinxian also stood aside and looked at the person who was painting over there.

There was a smug look in her eyes.

Right now, it's her turn.

She turned her head, glanced at her cousin Yanshuang, and gave her a suggestive look.

Yan Shuangnuo nodded and looked at her with big watery eyes.

"Cousin, Miss Hu will ask you to write an inscription later, don't forget." She said obediently, not loudly,

"Inscription?" Mrs. Changping Hou looked up at Ji Yinxian and said with a smile, "I heard the crown princess say that Miss Ji writes well, and you can watch it today." ”

Although the Marquis of Changping Mansion does not need to befriend the prince, it is still necessary to maintain the superficial friendship, so Mrs. Marquis of Changping is willing to give Ji Yinxian this face.

This is also the reason why she invited Ji Yin Xian to come to the plum garden.

After Ji Yinxian heard this, he smiled shyly.

"Xian'er is also ugly." She said, "My father said that if there is no inscription in painting, it seems to lack some charm, so Xian'er suggested that Miss Hu inscribe a few words, but without thinking, Miss Hu asked Xian'er to write." ”

She covered her mouth and smiled.

This is to say that the paintings of other ladies have no charm, and having her inscription can make a painting better and more worthy of taste.

Miss He rolled her eyes.

If she hadn't had to accompany Aunt Shen, she would have left immediately and wouldn't look back!

With Sister Cui Liu, you don't have to hear such pretentious words!

Mrs. Changping Hou looked at Ji Yinxian and smiled.

"Miss Ji is humble." She said, "With Miss Yuki's inscription, the painting must be excellent." ”

Miss He pursed her lips.

Even Aunt Shen praised Ji Yinxian and them, so wouldn't Ming Yun lose?

She thought for a while and said, "Aunt Shen, Yi'er will go over and take a look, and I'll come back to accompany you later." ”

She wanted to tell Ming Yun about it, and by the way, she asked Ming Yun if he could write.

"Go, go, go." Mrs. Changping Hou smiled and waved her hand, "It's hard for you to accompany me here, if you want to play, just go, don't care about me." ”

Miss Ji said with a stitch: "Yes, Miss He, you can go, I will accompany Mrs. here." ”

These words almost stopped Miss He's steps.

She gritted her teeth and chose to leave.

When Miss Cui Liu saw her coming, she hurriedly grabbed her hand and made a silent gesture.

"Don't bother." She said.

Miss He nodded, looked at Li Mingyun over there and said worriedly: "Sister, Ji Yinxian said in front of Aunt Shen that if the painting is not inscribed, it will lose some charm, so what can Sister Mingyun do?" ”

She scrambled anxiously, almost stepping on Miss Cui Liu's shoes.

Miss Cui Liu held her hand and comforted, "Don't worry, Sister Mingjia said that Ming Yun's handwriting is very good." ”

"She often practices calligraphy in the house!" Li Mingjia added, "My second brother's handwriting is not as good as hers!" ”

Li Mingye's handwriting Miss Cui Liu has seen it, it was brought by her father when he returned home one day, and he praised him for his good handwriting.

Since Li Mingyun's words are better than Li Mingye's, then Miss Cui Liu is not worried.

This peace of mind infected Miss He, and her anxiety gradually calmed down.

"Then we'll wait." She said.

……

……

The men walked all the way to this side, and there was some delay in talking, so that by the time they arrived, the women's paintings were almost finished.

Mrs. Changping Hou saw her son and his friends coming from afar, and hurriedly waved at them.

"Value, come quickly." She called.

Miss Ji was overjoyed in her heart, and her eyes looked over there uncontrollably.

The most conspicuous is Zhou Yunzhen, he and Xu Zhi are at the forefront, Xu Zhi may meet his "daughter-in-law" today, so his style has changed from the past and has become a humble and elegant son, and Zhou Yunzhen, who walked casually next to him, seemed a little hanging.

The rest of the men followed behind, looking at the plum on the left and the snow on the right from time to time.

Ji Yinxian's eyes kept staring at the dazzling Zhou Yunzhen, and his heart was full of pain.

She couldn't compare to the fifteenth princess, so when she learned that the fifteenth princess liked Zhou Yunzhen, she had to change her mind.

But she still admires Zhou Yunzhen in her heart.

Because of this, she became a little gloomy.

Why!

Just because the fifteenth princess is more noble than her, she can't like Zhou Yunzhen?

She is clearly much stronger than the brutal and willful fifteenth princess!

Her fists were clenched tightly by her, and she bit her pale lip, trying to hide her unwillingness.

Over there, Miss Hu saw Zhou Yunzhen and them coming, and hurriedly said loudly: "Madam, I'm done painting." ”

She looked at the women on both sides who were still painting, and she was proud and proud.

Not only does she draw fast, but she also draws well.

"...... so soon" A woman next to her was anxious, and hurriedly took a pen to continue drawing, wiping her forehead from time to time, although she was not sweating.

There was also a woman who was no longer thinking about painting, and began to raise her eyes and secretly look at Xu Zhi and the others who were walking here.

Some women simply lowered their heads shyly, blushed and put down their pens.

The scene became noisy, but Li Mingyun was still concentrating on his own paintings.

My father said that those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and the more they are in the end, the more they can't relax.

Now that she's done most of it, she has more ideas in mind, and she just needs to concentrate on finishing it.

Even if you do lose in the end, there is no shame.

She doesn't know how good Miss Hu's painting skills are, so she won't have the idea that she will win by luck.

When Mrs. Changping Hou heard that Miss Hu had finished painting, she smiled and said to Ji Yinxian: "Miss Ji, you go there to inscribe." ”

Ji Yinxian nodded.

When they walked in, she gave a salute before she walked up to find Miss Hu, and Yan Shuang hurriedly followed.

At this time, in the pavilion, Mrs. Changping Hou and a maid, Xu Zhi and others came forward to salute.

"Mother."

"Ma'am."

Mrs. Changping Hou smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"No need to be polite." She raised her hand and said, motioning for the maid next to her to help her up.

"Yunzhen, how long have you been here?" She said to Zhou Yunzhen, "Are you tired of seeing the plum garden and want to go outside to see the scenery?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Zhi immediately laughed.

"Mother, I went out to see it on Friday before returning to Beijing!" He smiled, "Let him leave Beijing at this time, it is estimated that he will be tired and panicked." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Zhou Yunzhen said, "Don't tease me anymore." ”

Mrs. Changping Hou smiled heartily.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to say it." She pointed to the woman over there, "I know that some of you are good at drawing, and it just so happens that today, they have painted a few paintings, and you can also come and observe them to see how they are drawing." ”

After she finished speaking, she asked Zhou Yunzhen and them to go over first, and she left Xu Zhi to speak.

Of course, Zhou Yunzhen knew what Mrs. Changping Hou wanted to say to Xu Value, he raised his eyebrows at Xu Value, and then waved his hand and left without looking back.

Qi He followed, hooking his shoulder from behind with one hand.

"On Friday, who do you think Mrs. Changping has a crush on?" He asked curiously.

Zhou Yunzhen pursed her lips and glanced at the women in front of her casually.

"Who knows, it won't be the Ji family and the Hu family anyway." He said.

It doesn't matter if you call these two families friends, but it is impossible to become in-laws, after all, these two families are the prince's faction.

Qi He nodded.

He looked at the woman who was painting with a playful attitude, and his eyes were suddenly attracted to one of them.

"Hey, Friday, don't you think that girl looks familiar?" He said.

Zhou Yunzhen followed his line of sight.
