Li Xiao opened the brocade box and took out the gift her father gave her.

It's two paintings!

She slowly unfolded one of the paintings, and the scenery in the painting appeared in front of Li Xiao's eyes little by little.

"Is this...?" This painting is not a masterpiece of a famous artist, nor does it look like a father's handiwork, so what does her father mean by giving her?

"This painting is called 'Peaceful Residence', and it was painted by a new artist!" Li Kun pointed to the scroll and said.

Li Xiao's gaze returned to the picture scroll, and when he looked at it carefully, he unconsciously sighed a little.

On the top of the scroll, from near to far, in order, there are markets, people, and houses, each of which is meticulous and lifelike.

Especially the nearby markets.

In the street market in the picture scroll, there are pedestrians, some sitting, standing, walking, buying and selling, and some chatting. There are hawkers who carry burdens and walk through the streets and alleys, nobles who ride horses and sedan chairs, adults who travel alone, and even a group of relatives to pick up relatives, as well as groups of children who shuttle through them and frolic endlessly, so lively!

Through the form and demeanor of small people, the painter vividly expressed this scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the scene of prosperity! It's so well drawn! Li Xiao unconsciously praised.

"Yes! This painting is not only good at painting, but also with meaning. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and only then should a family and country be the most deserving! Li Kun looked at the painting, his fingers brushing from above, and his eyes showed a touch of yearning.

Then he looked at another scroll.

The majestic mountains and mountains come from far and near. The peaks of the mountains rise into the clouds, hidden in the mist; The lake at the foot of the mountain is accompanied by sparkling waves; The pines and cypresses on the mountainside, standing tall and tall, green and evergreen, all add a bit of vividness to this paper and ink.

"This mountain landscape is not bad!" Li Xiao admired again.

"This one is called 'Smoke and Rain'."

"Smoke and rain?" Li Xiao repeated his father's words, and suddenly realized that the mountains and rivers imply the territory, and the human settlements imply the people, so these two paintings are not the miniature portrayal of the whole world?

"Why did my father give me this painting?" Li Xiao's incomprehension was even worse, so he stopped guessing alone and asked directly!

"The world is so big that it is not the king's land. can be destined for the father, and can only look at it on this map. On the wall behind Li Kun, there is a map, from south to north, from east to west, which is the world of their Li family.

He pointed to Yutu, with a wry smile and helplessness on his face.

"In such a big world, my father is incapable of stepping on them one by one, so I only hope that my Xiao'er can one day go to see it on my behalf! Look at our people, look at our rivers, lakes and seas, mountains and peaks. ”

For some reason, Li Xiao felt that there seemed to be a longing in his father's eyes.

As for what he was longing for, Li Xiao was a little unclear for a while.

"Instead of my father, go and see the world?" Li Xiao was a little moved.

Her father's words evoked a trace of fluctuation that she had hidden in her heart. Once upon a time, her greatest wish was to get rid of the identity shackles that shackled her, and to see the great rivers that only appeared in books.

And she also used this as an excuse to propose to leave Beijing!

"Yes, I'll take my father's place!" Li Kun smiled, his eyes were doting and loving.

"Good!" Li Xiao nodded.

"Go, go and accompany your mother, I don't know when I will come back!" Li Kun's hand stroked the top of his daughter's head, like an action that he had repeated countless times when he was a child!
