You must know that the ancient pigments are mostly colored raw ore fragments, this pigment is not easy to color, the color is bright, and when you want to use it, you need to mash it yourself and adjust it with glue, which is very troublesome. However, this is the same as the ink grinding before writing, it is also a kind of taste, and many famous painters in the past dynasties like to mix colors slowly in person, which is very elegant.

Nowadays, not only do modern times have pigments that can be used directly, but even small Japan has invented an ink grinding machine, which is simply ridiculous, completely a blasphemy of art, quite a bit of a cow chewing peony.

Hagi didn't need a lot of color, she took a little cinnabar and too white pieces, slowly grinded them, and turned them into a pink color, which is perfect for painting lotus colors.

The lotus leaves and branches do not need to be green, she only uses a faint ink color to build the whole picture, and the only vivid and bright color in the painting is the pink of the flower buds, which is particularly eye-catching and full of fresh vitality.

Hagi Niang looked at her lotus flowers with satisfaction, but she was a little stunned in her heart, the person who was enjoying the flowers and painting by the window with her that day, what is she doing now? I must be very anxious, thinking about myself.

Every night, I specially opened the window and waited for him by the window for a long time, why didn't he reach him a word?

Hagi Niang couldn't help frowning, looking out the window faintly, her heart was like the water color of the lotus pond blown by the breeze in early summer, floating ripples.

She gently put down her paintbrush, stood up sharply, and walked towards Zheng Yan's house.

The relationship with Zheng Yan is really tortuous, although at first it was because of the relationship between Hagi Niang's stepmother Zheng, the two of them were very unaccustomed to each other, but later because they got along for a long time, they found that Zheng Yan still had a sincere temperament, so the two became friends who had nothing to say.

When Zheng Yan fell in love with Huan Xuan that day, the two also shared this beautiful feeling, but Hagi Niang didn't know that person was Huan Xuan. And now, the two of them are relatively speechless because of this handsome man, and they are very embarrassed.

Hagi Niang can understand Zheng Yan's feelings of loving someone deeply, but she really can't accept that she is the one who was betrayed because of this.

In any case, she can no longer regard Zheng Yan as her friend.

Zheng Yan cried and cried in her room as usual, full of sad sorrow, and she was very disappointed by the bright weather.

Hagi Niang knocked politely on her open door, leaned against the door and said softly, "My sister is homesick?" ”

Zheng Yan was told that she was the center, and she felt uncomfortable, and she cried even more, sobbing and said, "Sister Hagi, it's not good here at all, I don't like it at all...... I think my mother, and my brother, if my mother had known that I was doing this here, she would have come and pick me up......"

It's hard to say, although Zheng Yan's family is a side branch of the Zheng family known as Xingyang, but there are no sons and nephews in the court as officials, I am afraid that it will soon decline, and now I am in the middle of the Huan family, I am very elated, how can I care about Zheng Yan's life or death, I am afraid that Zheng Yan wants to die, and he has to die in the Huan family.

Although she thought so in her heart, Hagi Niang still stepped forward, sat beside her, and persuaded her: "It's useless for my sister to dream like this, and now there is a great opportunity for you to go home openly, why didn't you think of it?" ”

Zheng Yan finally showed a happy smile when she heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Hagi Niang's hand and asked earnestly, "Sister, how can I go back?" Teach me, I ...... I am grateful, and I will give you whatever you want. ”

Hagi Niang pretended to be unhappy, and made a gesture to get up and said: "My own sister, what are you talking about, how can I use this kind of thing to threaten you, see where you think, if my sister is so suspicious of me, I will leave, and this matter will not be mentioned again." ”

Zheng Yan hurriedly grabbed her, apologized non-stop, and said again and again: "It's because my sister was sorry for you before, so I mistakenly thought that my sister no longer regarded me as a sister, since my sister doesn't hate my sister, my sister naturally believes in you." ”

Hagi Niang sat down again and whispered to her: "Although my sister is married to the Huan family, she is not a slave of the Huan family. ”

Zheng Yan said hesitantly: "It's just that I can't just leave without saying this, if Huan Lang is angry, what should I do?" ”

The expression on her face was very cute, and Hagi Niang couldn't help but think of a few days ago, Zheng Yan also swore that how much her Huan Lang loved her, how much he cared about her, and would never treat her badly. If she said bad things about Huan Xuan, I was afraid that Zheng Yan would hate herself, but now she is clamoring to go back to her parents' house, which is really a bit of joy.

Hagi Niang almost laughed out loud, but considering Zheng Yan's mood, she still couldn't help it, and said to Zheng Yan: "You stupid boy, I didn't let you leave the Huan family for no reason, now that you have been married for more than three days, according to customs and common sense, you can return to Ning, which is also a very reasonable request." ”

Zheng Yan suddenly realized that it was because she was a sister-in-law who had not left the cabinet, so she was not familiar with the etiquette procedures of the wedding at all, and she forgot that the bride could return to the door, fortunately, her background was quite noble, and the women of the scholar clan were good concubines even if they were concubines, and they deserved to be courteous, and if they were slaves and maids in the Huan Mansion, even if they had a name, they would never return to the door.

She smiled happily and said excitedly to Hagi Niang: "Sister Hagi, you are too smart, I will go and tell them, I want to return to Ning, I want to go home." ”

Hagi Niang said pointedly: "Even if you go back, you don't want to come back, at most you will stay for a day or two, even if you don't want to come back, your family will be busy sending you back, and it's not like it's gone, you can be free." ”

Zheng Yan thought to herself, no matter how dissatisfied she is now, all this is a foregone conclusion, she is already a member of the Huan family, although she can hardly see Huan Xuan's face, she is already Huan Xuan's concubine, it is impossible not to come back to face this reality.

Hagi Niang saw that she was quite touched, and hurriedly continued to add fuel to the fire: "If my sister marries an ordinary family, she is naturally the mother of a house, how free and easy it is, the scenery is infinite, you don't need to look at anyone's eyes, as long as you are filial to your in-laws and serve your husband, even if the marriage is not happy, you can still get along." How can it be like now, I can only hide in my room, and look ahead and backward in everything, as if I am a little girl with a humble status, the Zheng family has raised my sister for many years, is it possible that my sister is to come to Huan Mansion to be a slave? ”
