On this day, the rain that had been falling for seven days finally stopped, and the rain-washed sky was exceptionally blue, and the sunlight was shining through the white clouds, warm and comfortable. Qin Shuyao accompanied Mrs. Qin to a banquet held by the wife of a high-ranking official early in the morning, and this huge Overseer's Mansion became even quieter.

Yang Jinxin also came to the garden rarely, she sat on the bench, there was still an easel in front of her, but at this moment she did not start writing, but quietly enjoyed the comfort of the warm spring sun shining on her body.

Surrounded by precious flowers and trees blooming with new green, a tree of eighteen bachelors blooming beautiful flowers not far from her, the buds on the pear tree, after these few days of brewing, are also competing to open in the warm sun today, the spring breeze blows, sending a variety of flowers, so that the nasal cavity is also dizzying. There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and Yang Jinxin still looked at the blooming pear blossoms and did not look back.

"This is really interesting, this spring is cold, and he is not afraid that you will freeze?" A slightly shrill voice came from behind her, this voice was quite familiar, of course Yang Jinxin knew who it was, but she still didn't look back.

After a while, I heard the high heels slowly knocking on the stone road, and the person who came slowly walked in front of the easel, it was the rare Chu Yu. Although they live in the same house, she has always lived alone in a small single-family building at the back, and Yang Jinxin has not seen her for a long time.

When I saw her today, I found that she was much thinner, the light orange brocade cheongsam on her body was a little empty wrapped around her body, the silver-gray tassel shawl wrapped around her thin shoulders, the makeup on her face was still delicate and beautiful, but there was no previous look in those big eyes, Yang Jinxin could see the sadness in her heart from her strong pride.

This made her frown, she felt sorry from the bottom of her heart, sorry for her, and sorry for herself.

Chu Yu was also looking at her, she seemed to prefer cyan, she was still wearing a light cyan gown today, her long hair was loosely tied in a bun at the back of her head, and she pinned a smooth jasper hairpin, but her slightly pale face still did not reduce her beauty. There was obvious sympathy in the sparkling eyes that looked at her, which made Chu Yu's face darken, what qualification did she have to look at herself with this kind of look!

Chu Yu snorted lightly and said, "I heard that you had a miscarriage, or did Qin Muyang get it?" Aren't you his self-proclaimed favorite? Why, he won't have your child? Oh, I see, you've been missing for a while, and this kid is unknown. ”

Yang Jinxin was still lazily leaning on the bench, she raised her chin slightly to look at Chu Yu, the bright sunlight made her squint slightly, she could understand her resentment towards herself, but she definitely couldn't tolerate her insult to her own child.

"I didn't expect the young grandmother who lived in a simple house to be very well-informed. You, the genuine Young Lady Qin, have no children yet, and I am just a concubine, so naturally I can't be in a hurry. ”

After speaking, she no longer looked at Chu Yu's face that was distorted by anger, but stood up and picked up the palette and brush, ready to start painting, who knew that Chu Yu at this time, suddenly knocked over the palette in her hand, and the colorful oil paint splashed Yang Jin's heart all over his body.

"Yang Jinxin, you are less proud in front of me, don't you just rely on a fox face, do you think he really loves you? As long as my Chu family is still in Jinling City, my Chu Yu will be his wife Qin Muyang Ming Media is marrying, and you, until you die, are just a concubine, a concubine! ”

Chu Yu's words of gritting teeth made Yang Jinxin close her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was still the same clear eyes, she turned to look at her, and looked at her motionless for a moment, seeing her face turn from red to white, and her breath was unsettled. Yang Jinxin sighed softly, she had always had a deep sense of guilt towards Chu Yu, every time she saw her, this guilt would burst out from the depths of her heart, quickly destroying her heart, and even making her feel ashamed for a moment.

"Young grandma, believe it or not, I'm ...... I didn't mean to embarrass you, to make you sad, I ...... Hate staying here more than anyone else, believe it or not. ”

After Yang Jinxin said this, he didn't care how Chu Yu reacted, he turned around and walked back, not even caring about the easel, and just walked a few steps along the stone road when he heard Chu Yu ask.

"If I can send you away, would you like to leave?"

Yang Jinxin paused for a moment, his heart beat wildly, his slender fingertips were tightly pinched into his palm, and it took him a long time to say a word.

"It's too late!"

Yes, it's too late, he's a ****, how bad a person, no one knows better than her, her mother, her lover, all because she's gone, although she forced herself not to think about it, but she also knew that her only sister must still be in his hands, as long as she has a wind and grass, the sister who once fell into the dust early for her will be pulled out, and she can only be the canary quietly without paying attention to it, in exchange for her sister's peace.

She had lost so many times that she never had the courage to gamble again.

……

Yang Jinxin didn't know about the conversation between himself and Chu Yu in the garden, Qin Muyang didn't know it, but he came back with a happy face at noon.

A tall iron-gray military uniform made his whole person even more cold and hard, today there was a little sun, the windbreaker outside was open, and the wind and discipline buckles of the military uniform inside were also untied a few in a row, revealing a chest, and holding a horsewhip in his hand, all the way into the room.

"Don't you want to learn to draw? I asked someone to tell Zhou Xueren that if I have time in the afternoon, I will send you over. ”

Yang Jinxin showed a smile from his heart, raised his eyes and glanced at him, and saw a faint smile in his deep eyes, and lowered his head slightly and said, "Didn't you say you won't go?" How can it be good to attract onlookers? ”

Qin Muyang smiled and said, "Let's just go, I want to see who dares to watch." ”

Yang Jinxin looked up at him again, his willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I'm going to learn painting, not to fight, what are you going to do with so many people, if you don't worry, I won't go." ”

With a small complaint in this, Qin Muyang couldn't help but tap the military boots a few times with the horsewhip, and a look of annoyance appeared on her face, for fear of upsetting her again.

"Okay, okay, I won't go, I'll let Zhao Zhijun send you there."

"He can't go either, if you really don't feel at ease, let Miss Fifth go with me, and we'll take the family car, otherwise, I won't go."

Qin Muyang raised his eyebrows, looked at her cold face, and paused for a long time before nodding and saying, "Okay, it's up to you and let Shu Yao accompany you." ”

originally thought that it would take the next day to make the trip, but before two o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Qin came back with Qin Shuyao, Qin Shuyao got into Yang Jinxin's room as soon as she came back, the two discussed for a while, Qin Shuyao made a fuss and said that she was going out, Mrs. Qin and Qin Muyang both felt a little strange about her actions, but the mother and son didn't want to refute Yang Jinxin's interest, so they nodded and decided to let the driver send the two to Jinling University.

Qin Muyang also personally checked Yang Jinxin's dress, a light green cotton brocade cheongsam, a camel-colored windbreaker, and a dark brown top hat, and looked left and right for a long time before letting her leave.

Out of the gate of the Overseer's Mansion, Qin Shuyao was very nervous all the way, she held Yang Jinxin's hand tightly, and her palms were full of sweat that was about to drip down.

Jinling University arrived soon, and there was already someone at the door to pick them up, Yang Jinxin and Qin Shuyao glanced at each other, and followed the people hand in arm-in, Lao Wang, the driver of the Overseer's Mansion, automatically followed behind them, not leaving an inch, and the two had some helplessness, so they had to let him follow.

Walking in the bookish campus, Yang Jinxin finally showed a long-lost smile. The current situation in the south of the Yangtze River is quite stable, and the war ahead has not had much impact here, and the surrounding students are in groups of three or five, wandering around the campus, chanting poems and lyrics, talking about ideals, talking about life, and occasionally talking about two sentences of politics, and the school is thriving.

Along the wide boulevard, several people soon came to a row of small buildings with red walls and tiles, and the guide led them up to the second floor of the small building. The building was quiet, except for the occasional passing by men in long robes or dresses, and the guide led them all the way to the innermost part of the hallway, stopping in front of a room with a half-hidden door. He knocked lightly on the door twice, but no sound came out, but the man pushed the door open and let them in.

It was a fairly spacious classroom, with a number of easels and plaster models in a messy place, and a large crimson curtain on the left-hand side, which someone lifted and poked their heads out of it as soon as they entered.

"Teacher Zhou, these two are the guests who said they were coming to learn painting yesterday."

It turned out that the person in front of him was the now famous painter Zhou Xueren, I saw that he was in his thirties, medium stature, square face, not outstanding in appearance, a pair of round glasses between the bridge of his nose, a gray-blue gown, a apron dyed with oil paint around his waist, and a palette in his hand.

"Which one is Mrs. Qin, didn't you say that only one came to learn?"

Yang Jinxin automatically stepped forward and bowed slightly to him, "My name is Yang Jinxin, that is, I came to learn painting from you, and in the future, I will trouble the teacher." ”

Her polite appearance made Zhou Xueren feel cramped for a moment, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, hmm...... When you're ready, let's get started, have a foundation, what can you draw......"

Zhou Xueren found a dirty apron and came out to Yang Jinxin, who knew that he was stopped by the driver Lao Wang, who had not spoken behind him, only to see him take out a floral apron inlaid with delicate lace from the handbag he was carrying, and respectfully handed it to Yang Jinxin.

"This is specially prepared for you by the four young people."

Yang Jinxin frowned and looked at this apron, threw an apologetic smile to Zhou Xueren, still took the apron in Lao Wang's hand and tied it, she held the palette in one hand and picked up the paintbrush in the other, and was ready to start.

"Sister-in-law......"

Qin Shuyao called her, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.

Yang Jinxin looked back at her somewhat eager eyes, and smiled very calmly: "It's boring to be here with me, otherwise, you go out by yourself, and come here to find me in two hours, just don't get lost." ”

"Okay!" Qin Shuyao responded happily, and as she spoke, she was ready to go out.

"Miss Five......" The driver, Lao Wang, was very nervous and blocked her way.

Before Qin Shuyao could say anything, he heard Yang Jinxin say coldly: "Master Wang, your four young people only let you look at me inch by inch, as long as I can't run, won't you have an explanation?" ”

Yang Jinxin's words made the driver Lao Wang feel embarrassed for a moment, Qin Shuyao followed and glared at him fiercely, snorted, and quickly opened the door and left.
