"Let Qingdai try it first, if she draws well......"

Mr. Zhuang saw Shi Zikang nodding, his face was happy, and he hurriedly interrupted: "It must be a good drawing, this girl is smart at a glance." ”

"Thank you, godfather."

"Let's go, Qingdai, let's go in, everything is ready, don't be nervous, just feel free to play ......"

"Mr. Zhuang, I'm not nervous......"

"Well, it's better not to be nervous, it's better not to be nervous......"

Shi Zikang watched the two of them leave their backs, sighed leisurely, and then raised his heels as well.

Mr. Zhuang has been a scholar since his ancestors, and his family was also wealthy in his heyday.

It's just that the family has fallen in the middle of the road, and after the decline, only this ancestral house has been handed down.

Mr. Zhuang has been reading poetry since he was a child, and he was also full of spirit when he was young.

But after failing in the imperial examinations several times in a row, he also gave up the idea of being an official in the court and renovated the house.

The front was changed to a shop, a calligraphy and painting shop was opened, and the backyard was inhabited according to the old appearance.

Mr. Chong's family is very simple, and his parents passed away when he was young.

Now there are only two people living in this courtyard, Ah Xiang, Mr. Zhuang and his wife, and his daughter, who has not yet left the cabinet.

"Daddy." Seeing Mr. Zhuang and a few people coming in, Zhuang Shuyan, who was looking at the door of the study, took the lead to greet him.

Qing Dai looked up and saw a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Wearing a goose-yellow long skirt, a few peonies were outlined with silk threads at the group hem.

A jade hairpin is inserted diagonally in the low part of the sideburns, and the untied hair is draped vertically over the shoulders like a waterfall.

As she ran, her long skirt spread out and fluttered in the wind, like a cheerful oriole.

Judging from Mr. Zhuang's current age, this girl should be an old man.

While Qing Dai looked at Zhuang Shuyan, Zhuang Shuyan also noticed the little girl beside his father.

There was a moment of amazement in the bottom of his eyes, and then he saw Shi Zikang behind him, and then turned to surprise.

I didn't bother to ask about Qingdai's origin, so I hurriedly asked, "Brother Shi, why are you free today." ”

As she spoke, she craned her neck and looked behind Shi Zikang: "Why didn't Sister-in-law Yunrong come together." ”

"It's a book research, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I've become a big girl." Shi Zikang smiled at her, his tone gentle.

"There are no rules, how many times have I said that I want to call Uncle Shi." Mr. Zhuang reprimanded with a straight face.

Zhuang Shuyan was not afraid at all, stuck out her tongue at him, and said playfully: "Dad, Brother Shi is clearly still young.

"You can't think of people as your age just because you have a relationship......"

"How do you talk, there are no rules in the girl's house! How did I give birth to such a ...... of you?"

"What's that?" A crisp female voice came from behind herself, interrupting Mr. Zhuang's unfinished words.

Qing Dai looked up and saw that the person who came was a middle-aged woman dressed in a fresh manner, who looked about fifty years old.

"Madame, why did you come out, it's getting sunny outside, hurry up and get in."

"If I don't come out, how do I know that you dislike my daughter so much."

"What did Madame say, our daughter is lively and cheerful, it's too late for me to hurt her."

Zhuang Shuyan covered his lips and chuckled, and said narrowly: "Mother, Brother Shi is here, you have to save some face for your father." ”

"You kid!" Mr. Zhuang turned his head and glared at Zhuang Shuyan, about to scold.

Then he quickly softened his wife's gaze, and said with a dry smile: "It's still a book and a sensible, and it will hurt people!" ”

Looking at his father's flattering look towards his mother, Zhuang Shuyan smiled gloatingly at him.

Because they are old, Mr. Zhuang and his wife are also very fond of this girl.

Especially Mrs. Zhuang is very obedient to this daughter, holding it in the palm of her hand for fear of falling, and holding it in her mouth for fear of melting.

This also developed Zhuang Shuyan's temperament of not being afraid of heaven and earth.

"Hmph......" Mrs. Zhuang snorted coldly when she heard this, and no longer paid attention to Mr. Zhuang.

Turning his head to look at Shi Zikang on the side, he said with a smile: "Why did Zikang come over, what about Yun Niang, are you here together?" ”

"Sister-in-law." Shi Zikang bowed to her in a proper manner.

smiled: "Yun Niang is also here, and she went to the vegetable market with her eldest brother." I haven't seen you for a long time, but my sister-in-law has been in good health recently. ”

"Okay, okay." Chunxiu smiled and said, "That's right, I'm going to cook."

"You will go and pick up Yun Niang and your eldest brother in a while. It's rare that you're here, stay and have a meal together before leaving. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't bother, we came to town today to do something. I'll have to go in a moment. Let's eat this meal next time. ”

"What's so urgent, it's the same when you have dinner......"

"There's really something important, next time, let's have dinner together next time." Shi Zikang said sincerely.

"All right, ma'am, you can rest. You don't know Zikang's temperament yet, he said so, so he can't eat this meal today. ”

"I want you to talk more." Chunxiu glared at Mr. Zhuang.

Turning his head to Shi Zikang, he said, "In this case, then I will eat this meal next time."

"Coincidentally, I made some side dishes a few days ago, I'll go and pack some for you, remember to bring them back when you leave."

"Sister-in-law, don't ......"

"Why, Zikang hasn't been here for a long time, why did he see me like this.

"Are you going to disown my sister-in-law, don't eat this meal, even ......?"

"My sister-in-law laughed." Shi Zikang hurriedly said: "I want to say thank you to my sister-in-law, sister-in-law has to pretend to be more ...... for me."

"You know each other." Chunxiu instantly showed her face, and then noticed the green daisy on Mr. Zhuang's side.

"Who is this girl?"

"This is Qing Dai, the goddaughter of me and Yun Niang. Qingdai, called Aunt Xiu. ”

"Aunt Xiu is good, Sister Shuyan is good."

"Good, good." Chunxiu put away the shock in her eyes, and said with a smile: "This girl is really smart, you and Yun Niang are blessed." ”

"Sister Qingdai is good."

Shuyan smiled and said, "Brother Shi, it seems that I can only call you Uncle Shi in the future." This sister is really good-looking.

"I can't want to be called the same generation as my mother by such a good-looking sister."

"You girl, you will talk nonsense." Chunxiu smiled and nodded her head.

"By the way, Dad, I just heard from Ah Xiang that there is a painter who wants to paint on the spot, where is the painter?"

"Far away, close at hand." Mr. Zhuang deliberately sold a pass, and smiled and touched the beard that was better than nothing.

"Brother Shi? Ahh ”

Zhuang Shuyan's face was full of surprise, and he looked at Shi Zikang with burning eyes and said, "Uncle Shi, when did you become a painter?"

"When you helped out in my father's shop in the past, I thought that Uncle Shi was very powerful.

"I didn't expect you to be even more powerful than I thought, and you became a painter without making a sound, you are really amazing......"

Shi Zikang only felt that his old face was red in the face of Zhuang Shuyan's chattering praise.

Hurriedly interrupted: "It's not me...... Shuyan looks up to me, I'm not a painter, I'm Qingdai, Qingdai can draw......"

"Green ...... Sister Qingdai? ”

Zhuang Shuyan widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Sister Qingdai is a painter? How old is she......"
