On Wednesday evening, the students in the painting skills class received an email from the teacher, saying that they had brought their own lunch and painting clips, and that the painting class on Thursday had been changed to Saturday, and they were going to go to the landscape garden in Xishan to sketch, and they would stay there until the afternoon.

Xiao Yi didn't look at the email when she knew the news, but listened to the classmates who had just finished the class shouting in the class, because some of the students were not from a painting class, so everyone was talking about it. When Xiao Yi heard the news, she couldn't help but be stunned, but she didn't expect that she casually mentioned it to Yun Feng, and he really helped their painting class arrange to sketch there.

"Yunyi, don't be stunned there, surprised, I didn't expect it, our teacher doesn't look at anything, he actually has that ability, go to Jingyuan to sketch!" The classmate next door shook Xiaoyi, thinking that she was also stunned because of the news.

"Yes, I heard a friend of mine who is particularly rich say that it seems that money does not necessarily mean that you can get in, it seems that it is a private place, and only people with status can enter." A local classmate in Beijing added, "However, we are not allowed to take pictures there, and I don't know how the owner can agree to let us go sketching." ”

"I knew I would have signed up for your painting class, and I could go to that kind of place. Ay! Oh my life! "There was a classmate who wasn't in a painting class who was annoyed.

Yuhan sat next to Xiao Yi in class, and whispered: "Listen to what they said, this place is suitable for spring outing, now this day, autumn travel, you have to buy some delicious food in these two days, or you won't be in the mood to look at the scenery hungry." ”

Xiaoyi looked at Yuhan with a smile and a smile, and only she could think so far when everyone was so happy, so she just said, "Let's form a group, hire a tour guide, and take a day trip to the scenic garden." He nodded. I packed up the books in my hand casually, but my heart was a little fluctuating. Listening to the discussion of the surrounding classmates, that Jingyuan is not something that ordinary people can enter, let alone nearly 10 students go there to sketch, Xiaoyi unnaturally remembered the group of friends that Yun Feng met when he ate at the "Mirror Moon Fang" before the start of school. Yun Feng told her that night, it seems that that group of people are not ordinary people, maybe that group of people can only go to Jingyuan to sketch after speaking? It seems that Yun Feng and them really have a good relationship.

For a whole week, the students in the drawing skills class were excited, discussing what to wear tomorrow. Xiao Yi listened to their discussion, dare to feel that this group of people really regarded Saturday's class as a tour? I don't know if the painting teacher should cry or laugh. Back in the dormitory on Friday night, the other two people who were rare did not have a cold war today, but listened to Chu Xin introduce Jingyuan there. It sounded like she had been there.

"No, my brother has been there and came back to tell me. It's very big, layer by layer, and the most powerful thing is the island in the middle of the lake, which is not allowed by ordinary people. It can only be on the grass outside, and even more powerful, there are some painting boats on the lake, which can be used to go up and sit. I heard that it is a place for those rich and powerful to relax, but it is not like those "famous buildings" in our city, "heaven and earth", or other nightclubs. But I've heard that the scenery is really beautiful. ”

"Huh? How is that kind of place? Zhao Ying asked weakly, as if she felt a little shy to say it.

"Cut," Chu Xin rolled his eyes, "My brother said, it's nothing during the day." How pure it is? After thinking about it, Chu Xin continued: "You know the Situ family in the capital, right? The Situ family has been in politics in the capital for generations, and it was only in the previous generation that people began to do business. My brother said that the boss behind the place in Jingyuan is the Situ family. After speaking, there was a sense of complacency.

Yuhan shook his head, turned around and put all the food he bought the day before into his bag, Xiao Yi felt bored when she heard it, and walked away with a smile to pack up the things and the picture folder she was going to bring tomorrow. After all, my brother helped arrange it, and I can't live up to it.

In the middle of September, the capital has gradually entered the autumn, the morning and evening days are a little cold, and there is really a feeling of autumn high and refreshing. Because she went to sketch, Xiao Yi didn't look too good like them, a pair of casual trousers, a short shirt on her upper body, a thin short long-sleeved jacket on the outside, her hair was tied high in a ponytail at the back of her head, and a few strands of hair were scattered. Xiao Yi's painting folder is not as decorated as young people now, nor is it a high-end waterproof material, but a painting folder made by her father for her and her brother when she was 12 years old. The two folding planks are polished smooth and light, the mother wraps the wooden board with the unique silk white silk of Yunyin Town, the outside of the painting folder is the bamboo forest painted by the elder brother Yunfeng with ink and the "Jingxuan" written by Xiaoyi himself, the middle of the wooden board, is the bag embroidered by the mother to put the pen, there is no gorgeous decoration, but everywhere there is a simple charm, Xiaoyi is not commonly used, even if it is used is extremely careful, so the whole painting clip is intact as new, except for the white silk cloth with some old yellowing, but adding a few traces of history.

Yuhan liked it very much when he saw it for the first time, and he was arguing to have a good relationship with Du's father and Du's mother, and he had to be cheeky to ask the two of them to help make one next time they met. Xiao Yi grinned, and only tapped her forehead with her fingers, "What a female robber!" "Now that I really carry this painting folder out, I feel that this painting folder seems to be integrated with Xiao Yi, and it has a classical charm. Yuhan only brought a simple drawing board and put it in his schoolbag, and other places were put on food, usually together I don't feel it, but now when I go out to play, I find that Yuhan can really eat snacks. Zhao Ying's sketchpad is today's ordinary, waterproof appearance, Chu Xin is unsurprising, it is still a famous brand of the picture clip, but Xiao Yi looked at it for a long time and didn't feel any difference from Zhao Ying's, except that the big logo is very conspicuous on the cover of the picture clip.

The department helped rent a car, and I was already waiting at the school gate, two boys had something to do, and they had asked for leave, so this time I went to Xishan Jingyuan to sketch a total of 8 classmates, 6 girls and 2 men plus a female teacher, the teacher's surname is Qiao, it seems that he has just graduated, but he is about the same age as Xiaoyi's group of students, and there is no generation gap when he speaks. Leng Buding looked at it, except for Xiao Yi wearing some sports, Yuhan was still dressed in hip hop, with a big schoolbag behind him, the other 6 people, the boys were fine, the four girls were all locals in Beijing, and they were all dressed very exquisitely, it didn't look like they were going to sketch but like they were going to a party, even the young Teacher Qiao was wearing it very formally, Xiao Yi couldn't help but wonder, is it too casual for herself and Yuhan, is it possible that there will be any activities today?

got into the car, found a window position to sit down, habitually fastened the seat belt, although it has been more than half a month in the capital, but really haven't walked anywhere. At 9 o'clock in the morning, although it was Saturday, it was not the peak period for work, but because the weather was excellent, everyone wanted to travel, and the car went very slowly, step by step at a speed of 20 miles per hour. However, C University was already on the outskirts of the city, and it only pressed for about 20 minutes, and the car drove happily on the highway.

Yuhan took a headset, sat next to Xiaoyi, and continued to make up for sleep, the teacher said in front of the car that today's arrangements and precautions are nothing more than until Thursday of next week, to hand in a sketch of Xishan Jingyuan, the content is not limited, but you need to use the painting skills taught in the last class to paint. And then this opportunity is not easy to come by, everyone should pay attention to hygiene, and can not take pictures, etc., etc., Xiaoyi leaned his head against the window, quietly listened to the teacher's instructions in front, and felt slightly funny, Mr. Qiao's undergraduate major should not be a kindergarten teacher, or they are all twenty-three or four-year-olds, and they should be told for a long time like a kindergarten child.

Learning to put on headphones in Yuhan, the car has already left the city, and the scenery on both sides has become a bit rural, but I didn't expect that there is such a natural place in such a land as the capital. At half past nine in the morning, the sun shone through the car window, warm, Xiao Yi squinted, her mind was a little messy, and she didn't know what she was thinking. After returning to China for two months, in the blink of an eye, now that I think about it, it seems that the four years abroad are not me, but watching a movie acted by other people, and I have never left. But a lot of things are really strange. The biggest change, when it is my brother, I think of my brother, I can't help but think of this sketching again, Xiao Yi is faintly scared for some reason, I just feel that although this time is just a sketching class, but she can't touch the bottom of her brother, Xiao Yi feels for the first time that her brother is no longer the little boy who was scolded by his father in the courtyard with a basin on his head, kneeling in the yard, and pleading for mercy. There is also the group of friends made by my brother, Xiao Yi is no stranger to the family, after all, my grandfather's family is also a famous family in Shuzhong, but Shuzhong is not the capital after all, the more I listen to my classmates talk about this garden, the more uneasy I feel in my heart. Thinking in a mess, I was confused, and I don't know how long it took, the teacher shouted in front of everyone to get off the bus.

There are only three or four cars parked sporadically in the big parking lot, Xiao Yi doesn't know much about cars, but it seems that they are all valuable sports cars, and a few battery cars are parked at the exit of the parking lot, which seems to be used to carry people into the landscape. There were two people standing there at the gate, and the teacher went over to talk to them, I don't know what to say, just looking at Teacher Qiao's frequent nods. After a while, he walked back, gathered them all together, and told him again: "We will divide into two cars in a while, go inside, don't go in and out of those houses casually, they are all private, don't cause any trouble, when you get to the sketching location, if you want to go to the bathroom or something, tell the staff, they will take you there, we will paint on the shore in the morning, and in the afternoon they may take us to the lake if it is convenient, hey, you are wearing too few clothes, the lake is windy." After saying that, he also looked down at the knee-length dress he was wearing. Xiao Yi couldn't help but celebrate, it seems that her decision was right, there should be no party today.
