Qu Xiaobai didn't force him, after all, the times are different, the three views are different, if she is too willful, she may cause unnecessary trouble to herself, she thought for a moment, and said: "Otherwise, I'll give a milk name Pingping." My name is An An, and when he is with An An in the future, he will be called Ping An An, and it only makes sense for you to be taken by you, the father. ”

Guo Ziheng shook it to the end: "The little one is Pingping, thank Her Royal Highness the princess for giving her name." ”

The scholar was a little stupid, what Qu Xiaobai was most afraid of was communicating with such a person, and he was simply incompetent in communication, so he waved his hand, "No need to say thank you." Did you come here to hold the baby? ”

Guo Ziheng shook his head: "No, it was Prince Ling who called Zai Xia, saying that the princess was looking for something to draw below." ”

Qu Xiaobai looked at Yang Ling and accused him with his eyes: Who gave me the job? No, I don't have the strength to work right now, I don't want to work!

Yang Ling looked at her little eyes, received her meaning, and smiled, "Well, come and help the princess draw some lady paintings, so that the princess can see your level." ”

Ah Wu hurriedly prepared paper, brushes, and ink, set up another table in the courtyard, and invited Guo Ziheng over.

Qu Xiaobai glanced at it from a distance and said, "Sure enough, it's a nerd." I finally knew why the books in Kyoto couldn't be opened. Yang Ling, what's the use of this, he may not be able to do the design, and he can't draw what I want with my concept. ”

Yang Ling said: "People can't look good, how do you know if you can do it if you don't try?" ”

Qu Xiaobai nodded: "Well, I'll give him a chance." rushed to his son to save An An, and I will give him a chance. Even if it doesn't get the effect I want, I can do something else. It's also very useful to draw propaganda posters or something. After a pause, he added: "There is no person who is completely useless, it depends on whether you can use it." ”

"That's right."

The maid set up dinner, Yang Ling and Qu Xiaobai had no appetite, they simply ate the meal, withdrew, the maid changed the tea, Qu Xiaobai had slept all day, Yang Ling was afraid that she would not be able to sleep at night, so he asked her to change the chrysanthemum tea.

The twilight is getting thicker, the lamp is turned up in the yard, Ah Liu lit the wormwood of smoked mosquitoes in the yard, the rich aroma filled the whole yard, Qu Xiaobai's spirit finally improved, Guo Ziheng's lady painting was almost done, Ah Wu took a picture and presented it, Qu Xiaobai took a closer look, and saw that it was she who was painted on the painting, with a simple brush, but the charm was out, she turned her eyes to Yang Ling, and smiled: "The painting is not bad." ”

Yang Ling also nodded.

Qu Xiaobai saw a grandmother holding Guo Ziheng's son Pingping, and beckoned to her: "The child is here, I'll take a look." ”

Mama thought that she was looking at An An, and hurriedly said: "Miss Luoluo is holding An An, and the slave is holding Pingping." ”

Qu Xiaobai said: "Hold them all over." ”

The two children were hugged in front of her, she took Guo Pingping over, gently pinched the child's cheek, and teased him: "Little handsome guy, do you know me?" I'm the princess of Diyi. I gave your name. Come and see what your father painted, isn't it beautiful? Shun said to Yang Ling again: "Pingping, this kid doesn't look like his father, most likely he looks like his mother, right?" ”

Yang Ling looked at Qu Xiaobai with a smile, and said in a light tone: "Maybe." Go back and ask Guo Ziheng to bring his wife over to take a look, won't you know? ”

Qu Xiaobai handed Guo Pingping to Mama, and asked Luoluo to take An An away, and said: "Well, I want to meet the child's mother, after all, I want to leave Pingping by An An's side, or discuss it with my mother." ”

Over there, Guo Ziheng finished painting, just walked up, heard the words, and said with a smile: "It's a blessing for the child to stay, it's too late for the child's mother to be happy, where will he object." ”

Qu Xiaobai smiled gently: "Then we still have to discuss it with the child's mother and respect her opinion." How many more have you drawn? Take it and I'll take a look. ”

Guo Ziheng presented the painting in his hand with both hands, Yang Ling took it casually, and spread it out to Qu Xiaobai, the lights in the courtyard were not too bright, and the picture was a little distorted, but it was still a very skilled lady's painting, and the prototype was naturally Qu Xiaobai.

Qu Xiaobai praised: "Painter Guo's paintings are very exquisite. Although I don't know much about painting, I can see that Painter Guo painted me beautifully. ”

Guo Ziheng blushed, and hurriedly said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is alluring to the country and the city, and it is difficult for the small one to draw the charm of the princess, so the princess should stop torturing the small one." ”

Qu Xiaobai looked at Yang Ling, "Prince Ling, the people under your command are really both civil and military, I thought there were only martial artists, but I didn't expect there to be such a talented literati." ”

Yang Ling stared at her and said lazily: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Guo Ziheng saw that he couldn't speak, so he stood aside and waited quietly, Qu Xiaobai pointed to the painting and discussed with Yang Ling, for half an hour, he turned his head and saw that Guo Ziheng was still there, and seemed to be surprised: "Hey, Guo Painter is still there?" I'll be gone when you're gone! ”

Guo Ziheng smiled awkwardly: "Without an order, the villain didn't dare to leave without permission." ”

Qu Xiaobai laughed at him: "Aren't you afraid that I will be greedy for your child and not give it to you, right?" Well, you can take Pingping back tonight, and let your wife come over tomorrow with the child to play. "Lazy people listen to books

Guo Ziheng agreed, took the child from his grandmother's hand, bowed, and said goodbye.

Qu Xiaobai looked at the paintings on the table, his eyes were slightly dark, Yang Ling leaned lazily on the back of the chair, not looking at the paintings, looking at Qu Xiaobai.

Her look fell into his eyes.

He stared at her for a moment, then turned his gaze back to the paintings, "Do you think you're too beautiful?" He joked.

Qu Xiaobai smiled: "Didn't you listen to Master Guo, this painting doesn't have one-tenth of my charm, isn't that too beautiful?" ”

Yang Ling laughed with her, the night gradually deepened, and the people who were waiting gradually dozed off, Qu Xiaobai got up and said, "Let's disperse, rest early." ”

Yang Ling handed her his hand, borrowed her hand and dragged it to stand up, Qu Xiaobai laughed at him: "Bonesless, tired?" ”

Yang Ling squinted at her and laughed: "You can be skinned, do you want me to prove it?" ”

Qu Xiaobai shuddered, "No, you don't need to, you look very good." ”

Go back to bed, wash. When the bath stopped, all the subordinates retreated, and there were only two of them left in the room, Yang Ling picked up Qu Xiaobai by the waist and put him on the bed and sat down, he sat down beside her, staring at her, his expression condensed slightly, "Tell me, what's going on?" Did you notice something was wrong? ”

Qu Xiaobai shook his head, "It's not good to say." Why did you suddenly bring Guo Ziheng over today? ”

Yang Ling stared for a moment before he said, "I can't say it well, I just feel that something is wrong, maybe ...... Like you said, do you think that kid doesn't look like Guo Ziheng? ”

This reason is somewhat nonsense, but sometimes, the more nonsense it is, the more it may not be traceless. Yang Ling is an extremely sensitive and cautious person, and the slightest mistake can't escape his eyes.

Qu Xiaobai has learned this point a long time ago.

She thought for a while and said, "Husband, you can show me those paintings again." ”

Yang Ling let go of the hand around her waist, got up and took the painting over, and took down the candle on the candlestick to shine it on her, "What, there is something wrong with this painting?" ”

Qu Xiaobai stared at it for a long time, "Look...... I can't say what it feels like, déjà vu? I don't know much about calligraphy and painting, so I feel that this brushwork seems to have been seen somewhere. ”

She came to this world, except for the paintings of the prince Lu Feiyi, there were very few paintings of others, after all, she was not interested in those things.

Yang Ling comforted her: "It's okay, don't think about it if you can't think about it, it's not early, rest first." ”

"No, I remembered!" A light flashed in Qu Xiaobai's mind, and she caught the clue in time, "I have indeed seen this painting method!" ”

She grabbed Yang Ling's hand suddenly, too hard, and even scratched his fair skin red, Yang Ling hurriedly put down the candle, sat down beside her, and held her in the crook of her arm, "Don't worry, talk to me slowly." ”

"Yang Ling, in Nanping, when you were held hostage by Lu Xiaoxiao, Ah Liu and Ah Si once brought back three pictures, Lu Wu and Wei Gao chased those three pictures at that time, and the pictures were drawn by me, Mu Nanyun and Lu Xiaoxiao. I think about it now, the brushwork lines of those pictures are extremely similar to those drawn by Guo Ziheng! ”

"When I went to Diyi, I could only travel lightly, and I didn't bring those paintings."

Yang Ling's eyebrows sank slightly, and he comforted her: "I know." Leave this matter to me, you just don't know how to get along with that couple. Don't let them see that you're guarding against them. ”

Qu Xiaobai nodded: "Acting, I'm good at it, you don't have to worry about this." My fear now is that he's your man. ”

Yang Ling sneered, "I haven't been in charge of things all these years, Qingjun has taken care of it single-handedly, Qingjun is a capable person in business, and it may not be enough to prevent people." Fortunately, you advocated the rectification and reorganization of Zixuzhuang that day, otherwise, I still don't know how many hidden dangers there are! ”

Qu Xiaobai said confusedly: "It stands to reason that Guo Ziheng should be cleared, Yang Chun is not an imprudent person." ”

Yang Ling said: "Indeed, the shop run by Guo Ziheng has been closed, I am afraid that An An's appearance will cause trouble, so I want to find a child to replace An An into the palace, the people below did not find a child of the same size as An An, and finally, there was a director in Beijing who happened to meet Guo Ziheng holding the child on the street, so he was recruited back." ”

"I felt that something was wrong at the beginning, but because of the lack of trace support, I couldn't launch what was wrong, and now I finally figured it out, it turned out that the child appeared too coincidentally."
