Chapter 46 Surrender
Under the west window, Xiao Kui rolled up the Xiangfei curtain, spread out the snow-white Jin Xuan, and looked curiously at Gu Mingzhu, who looked very capable in a snow-blue bundle with short sleeves.
"Lady, what is this going to do?"
It looks like it's going to write big letters.
Abi, who was studying ink on the side, said with a smile: "Isn't the lady going to copy the scriptures for the old lady?" ”
In the past, Gu Mingzhu made a mistake, and Mrs. Gu punished her for copying scriptures.
Gu Mingzhu shook his head, did not speak, lifted a purple millimeter of luck, and calmly put pen to paper.
There was no one else in the room to serve, Gu Mingzhu had ordered them to send those maids out and not teach them to serve in the room.
Today's Dongfu is not what it used to be, Gu Mingzhu asked Han Mama and them to check carefully, as long as they have something to do with Xifu, they have been placed on irrelevant errands.
Mama Han originally wanted to clean up the people in the main courtyard, but she was stopped by Gu Mingzhu and asked her to leave two second-class maidservants on the tea and sprinklers.
Although Mama Han didn't understand why, she still did as she was told.
At this moment, Gu Mingzhu was concentrating on waving the pen in his hand, and the clouds and water generally rose and fell on the golden rice paper.
Xiao Kui and Ah Bi couldn't help but slowly lean over and look at the Jin Xuan under Gu Mingzhu.
Slowly, the look on their faces became more and more surprised, and the gaze staring at the paper became more and more shocked.
It was a painting, a half-open and half-closed window, with delicate and intricate patterns on it, and a few blooming magnolia branches outside the window, with strong branches, and the flowers either blooming enthusiastically or delicately budding.
It is obviously a very simple painting, but it is clear and dark, and the pen is round and old-fashioned, lifelike as if it is right in front of you.
If this is a masterpiece of a masterpiece, I am afraid that Xiaokui and Ah Bi will not feel strange, but this painting was painted by their mother!
Ladies never know how to paint!
Gu Mingzhu used Zihao to point Qingdai and drew the last stroke of magnolia, stood in front of the painting with a pen, looked at it, and smiled.
Finally, I haven't been rusty, and I haven't touched a pen for a long time.
Or before marrying into the Xianwang Mansion, she knew that Li Yu liked the flowers and birds of the former dynasty Zhan Shiqian the most, and specially invited the palace painter to teach, copying the flowers and birds for a long time, even if she entered the Xianwang Mansion, she never put it down, and she practiced for several years, which is comparable to the palace painters.
In the past few lives, she has learned a lot of skills, which were originally just not very useful, but now they are all used by her.
She put down the pen, turned back to the two maids with shocked faces, and said with a faint smile: "I will roll it up and seal it and send it to Tianxiangfang." ”
The clamp she asked for was to be carved and dyed according to this.
Xiao Kui still looked at the painting in surprise, but Ah Bi came back to her senses first, pulled her sleeve, and hurriedly cleaned up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Mama Han opened the smoke curtain and came in, holding a bird's nest lotus seed soup in her hand: "Lady, the mother-in-law who is guarding the door at the side door has passed a message and said that the fourth lady and the lady from Xifu came to say goodbye to the lady." ”
Gu Mingli and Liu?
Gu Mingzhu suddenly remembered that that day, when the Liu family made a special trip to wait for her by the trail, and asked her to come forward to invite Lang Zhong for Gu Mingli, she had said that she would accompany Gu Mingli to thank her.
She just didn't understand why the Liu family and Gu Mingli's mother and daughter would want to associate with her.
Liu's mother and daughter have been silent in Xifu for all these years, and they have had no contact with Gu Mingzhu in previous lives, so I don't know why they have changed at this time.
Gu Mingzhu sat on the couch and took the bowl of lotus seed soup, but he didn't just use it, but slowly rubbed the pink porcelain bowl.
After a while, she said, "Invite them over." ”
The Liu family is smart and will not make these moves for no reason, Gu Mingzhu wants to see what she is going to do.
Liu, who was dressed plainly, and Gu Mingli, who was timidly following her, came in with the maidservant.
Liu didn't say a word, and bowed first: "The eldest lady is well, and the maid will say hello to the eldest lady." ”
Gu Mingli quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Mingzhu, then quickly lowered her eyes, bit her lip, and bowed timidly: "Big sister is fine." ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at the fourth sister who didn't show up much, and saw that her dress was the face of Xiangyun yarn, the lining of plain satin, and the clothes were not bad, but the patterns were old, and they were all fashionable patterns in previous years.
She only has a few green hostas on her head, and she really doesn't look like a lady in the General's Mansion.
"Liniang, get up, Liu, you also get up, don't be polite."
Gu Mingzhu asked the maid to bring the mat to them: "The fourth sister is a rare guest. ”
Gu Mingli responded softly, not daring to say anything, but frequently looked at the Liu family.
Liu smiled slightly: "The fourth lady specially asked the maid to accompany her today to thank the eldest lady." ”
"The fourth lady was very ill that day, thanks to the eldest lady who taught someone to take the post and ask for a doctor, I am really grateful."
Gu Mingzhu smiled and looked at Gu Mingli: "What's wrong with your body?" I always hear that you are sick in Xifu, but you have invited a doctor to take a good look? ”
Gu Mingli bit her lip again and looked at Liu.
Liu Shi hurriedly said: "It's a lack in the womb, and I have invited many doctors to take a look, and they all said that they should take care of it, and now it has slowly improved." ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at Gu Mingli's complexion, although it was not very good, it was also white and well-proportioned, and it did not look like she had been seriously ill.
Her eyes deepened a little, and she still smiled: "That's good, Liniang is young after all, and her body bones still have to be well nurtured." ”
Liu responded softly: "The maid must be good at serving the fourth lady." ”
She turned her face to Gu Mingli and took a deep look, Gu Mingli seemed to be frightened, and muttered for a while before she spoke: "Big sister, I heard that Abi Nuhong next to you is doing very well, I, I want to learn from it......"
is just such a sentence, but she was slurred by her.
Liu hurriedly accompanied Gu Mingzhu with a smile and said: "The fourth lady is in good health now, and she is not young again, thinking about learning the female red house, and I heard that the girl Abi next to the eldest lady is the best, so I thought that I could come over and learn for some time." ”
School girl red? Gu Mingzhu raised her eyebrows as she looked at the mother and daughter, but did not speak.
Liu said softly: "Don't dare to bother Miss Lao Abi to go over in person, the fourth lady can come over every day to study for a while, and you can also come to say hello to the eldest lady." ”
Is this to surrender?
