Her intuition was right, Liu Shiyu's explanation did not make Xi'er and the others change her, everyone saw the situation just now.

For example, Xi'er felt that the girl did not send the rising sun, but she was afraid that it would affect her relationship with her uncle, and her uncle's reputation was not good; Then there is the girl's generosity, since the ugly thing has not happened, it is enough to beat it, it is better than making a fuss. This is a girl who is very clever.

Minghua even felt that the girl's sentence "You served your uncle very dedicated" had a deep meaning, and it was simply a verdict of Chaoyang's crime.

Liu Shiyu didn't know what they were thinking, and after calming Chaoyang, she walked into the upper room again, came to the study, and knocked on the door gently.

It took three or four knocks before there was movement inside.

"If you don't eat it, take it!"

Very impatient voice.

"Husband, it's me."

Liu Shiyu hurriedly shouted.

There was a chaotic noise inside, as if the sound of hitting a chair, and soon the door opened, Lin Zhiqiu stood at the door sweating profusely, glanced at Liu Shiyu and lowered his eyes, did not dare to look directly, and said with shame: "You...... How did you come! ”

In the end, it still alarmed his wife.

He was frustrated and embarrassed.

Liu Shiyu looked behind him curiously and asked, "What is the husband doing?" ”

Lin Zhiqiu said: "Painting." ”

As he spoke, he helped her in.

Liu Shiyu did not directly ask him about the bullying outside, but walked to the table and tilted his head to look at his unfinished painting: this is a picture of a custom figure, similar to "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", but the painting is much smaller. The content is that many literati wander through the towns of the water towns, outlining a grand party. One of the literati was arguing by the lake, which Liu Shiyu recognized as the willow boulevard of Tianhu Lake, with flowing willow branches, and dense layers of lotus leaves and lotus flowers on the surface of the lake. The scholars were divided into several groups and surrounded the scholar in the middle - isn't this Lin Zhiqiu himself?

Seeing this, Liu Shiyu understood.

She pointed to a scholar in the painting and said with a smile: "The husband is painting the grand scene of the people in the world gathering in the sunset, but why is this person like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, angrily accusing the husband?" There are also these people next to him, greedy and hypocritical in their eyes, but they still make a high-minded appearance, and their mouths are full of haha......"

When Lin Zhiqiu heard this analysis, his heart was relieved, and he was suddenly relieved, standing behind the table with his arms around her waist, and said, "I'll tell you about this later." Now I'm going to finish this painting in one go. Why don't you go and rest first? ”

Liu Shiyu was overjoyed to see that he was willing to open his heart to himself, and hurriedly said: "I will accompany my husband here." I also have something to tell my husband, it's a happy event. - Husband draw quickly, I will study ink for my husband. ”

After that, let Xi'er help her roll up her sleeves.

Lin Zhiqiu didn't know what the happy things were, but when he saw that his wife was happy, he couldn't help but be happy, and most of the anger he had suffered before was gone, and said with a smile: "It's annoying to the rain." ”

Then he immersed himself in painting.

Liu Shiyu reached out and took the fan in Xi'er's hand, gently shaking it behind Lin Zhiqiu's back, while staring at him as he painted. Seeing him half-bowed, bowing his head and ticking a little on the drawing paper, he soon entered a state of self-forgetfulness, and he couldn't help but feel a sore back for him, and he felt very distressed, and he didn't dare to interrupt him, for fear of disturbing his train of thought and ruining his inspiration, so he could only watch dryly. After a long time, I saw fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. Liu Shiyu didn't dare to wipe it for him, so he could only take advantage of his change of pen and dip in ink, and quickly wiped it for him with a handkerchief.

All the maids and women retreated outside to listen to the summons, leaving only Xi'er and Minghua, one inside the threshold and the other outside the threshold to serve.

It took another hour to finish.

Lin Zhiqiu put the pen on the hill-shaped pen carved from the roots of the ancient tree, straightened his waist, and said with a long sigh of relief: "The painting is finished." ”

Who knew that he bent over for too long, straightened his waist in an instant, and couldn't straighten up, only felt that his chest and back were stiff and didn't obey the call, and he couldn't help but cry out "ouch", holding his waist with one hand and the table with the other, struggling to stand up.

Liu Shiyu hurriedly supported him, pressed him to the chair, and said, "Sit down!" Then he walked around behind him, pinched his shoulders for him, and shouted to Xi'er to fetch water, and then personally served him to clean his hands and wipe his face.

Xi'er was busy cleaning up the table.

Chaoyang came in with refreshments.

Liu Shiyu said: "This refreshment has been put on hold for too long, so let's withdraw it." Now that the time has passed, I don't eat snacks and eat directly. ”

Chaoyang hurriedly said: "I have already asked them to pass the meal." This is freshly brewed tea, and the dim sum was just brought, and the previous distribution was given to the little girls to eat. The girl and her aunt drank tea and ate a piece of dim sum first, and the meal came. ”

Liu Shiyu said: "It's okay, put it down." ”

Chaoyang placed the tray on the table.

Lin Zhiqiu bent over and drew for almost two hours, he was already tired, his back hurt, and he opened his eyes and asked Liu Shiyu to help him pinch his shoulders, and suddenly saw refreshments, smelled the aroma, and suddenly his stomach was "boneless" with a chaotic sound.

He was a little embarrassed and said, "I came back from outside and haven't eaten yet." ”

Liu Shiyu hurriedly said: "Eat a piece of dim sum first." ”

glanced at Chaoyang, and felt that she was really considerate, and she was too negligent as a wife compared to her.

Chaoyang was frightened by her.

Liu Shiyu walked to the table, personally used a silver spoon to dial a piece of snack in a small plate, handed it to Lin Zhiqiu, and opened the lid of the tea cup.

Chaoyang hurriedly dodged away and let her, and said, "The maid is going to urge the meal." ”

Liu Shiyu nodded and said, "Well, urge me." ”

Chaoyang bowed his head and walked out quickly.

Here, Lin Zhiqiu ate a piece of dim sum, drank two sips of tea, and then stopped eating, and told Liu Shiyu about the conflict with Ni Yishang and others.

After painting this picture, he was no longer depressed, so he finished speaking in a few words, touched his wife's hand and said ashamedly: "It's all because the husband has no interest, and he can't earn a few taels of silver, but he has to spend his daughter-in-law's money to entertain guests, how can he be at ease?" So I turned them down. I didn't expect you to be criticized for being domineering. ”

Liu Shiyu held him on the shoulder, and said with a straight face: "Zi said: 'The beneficiary has three friends, and the loser has three friends. Friendship is straight, friendship is forgiving, friends are more heard, and it is beneficial; Friends are friendly, friendly and soft, friends are good, and they are damaged. Ni Yishang is hypocritical and shallow, and they are friends of 'Shanru', and the husband should stay away from them, and it is not worth being angry with this kind of person. I heard Minghua say that after you left, a few scholars were upset for you and quarreled with Ni Yishang. If you meet again, you might as well invite them to drink a glass of water and wine, or tea, as a token of gratitude. ”

When Lin Zhiqiu left from Tianhu, he also heard the quarrel between Yu Zhen and Ni Yishang behind him, and hurriedly said: "I also have this intention for my husband." I'm not angry anymore. It's just plain and it hurts your reputation and you feel uneasy. ”

Liu Shiyu said: "You and I are husband and wife, share weal and woe, and say that it is not even affected." You're good at drawing, and you're just going to get it to the exhibition. ”

Lin Zhiqiu hurriedly asked: "What kind of exhibition?" ”
