The painting shows a woman holding a palace fan, reclining on a boulder, smiling toothily, the tender yellow skirt hangs down, the clear spring trickles under the stone, surrounded by clear water, green mountains and green trees, blending with the scenery, and lining people with the scenery.
After drawing the portrait, Du Ruo neatly painted the clothes worn by the woman, followed by the enlargement of subtleties, such as the waist, neckline, cuffs, and so on.
She knew that Meng Yuanzhou was well-informed, and she had a lot of business experience and means, but she didn't know if her idea could play a role, especially for the embroidery village that specializes in big business. So she had to do her best and paint seriously.
Standing or sitting, she circled around the table and painted. Zhou Ning's mother-in-law has been sitting on the other side spinning, the spinning shelf can't help making a slight squeaking sound, her eyes are getting more and more unable to see, and she can't do meticulous work, so she can only spin and sell some money.
The air gradually took on a hint of wind from the scorching heat, and time passed little by little.
Du Ruo finally stood up straight, stretched his waist, sorted out the paintings painted on the table, went to fetch water to wash his hands, and returned to the house and said to Zhou Ning's mother-in-law: "Mother-in-law, I'll go back first!" ”
Thinking of Du Ercheng in the Song family, she was uneasy, afraid that he would cause some trouble, so she had to go back and take a look.
Leaving from Zhou Ning's mother-in-law's house, she held the rolled up drawing paper in her arms, thinking about what to say to Meng Yuanzhou when she saw him tomorrow.
There was a circle of people talking in front of them, scolding and laughing, and several people were surrounded in the middle, not knowing what they were doing.
Du Ruo wanted to go farther away and not pass by, but in his heart he wanted to take a look, just take a look.
When she got closer, she saw that there were Du Ercheng who were surrounded by people watching in the middle, and immediately shook her head and sighed, she was really a brother and sister, heart to heart! Worry about what's coming!
Hong Sheng was also there, looking at Du Ercheng with an annoyed look.
Du Ercheng opened his unbuttoned shirt with both hands, and played hooligan to Hong Sheng with a hippie smile: "Don't go!" Have fun with me! I've got a crush on you! Come! Come! As he spoke, he jumped left and right in front of Hong Sheng.
The people around him burst into laughter.
Du Ruo opened his mouth slightly, Du Ercheng he, he ...... After looking closely, she found that there was a mute Sister Qiao standing behind Du Ercheng, Sister Qiao had tears on her face, lowered her head and bit her lip and didn't dare to speak.
"Get out of the way for your grandpa! Don't get in my way! Hong Sheng said loudly, and the green muscles burst out.
"What? You are only allowed to molest others, not others? Besides, I really like you! Say it if you want to! Du Ercheng grinned again.
Du Ruo immediately understood, it was about Du Ercheng who saw Hong Sheng bullying and flirting Sister Qiao again, so he stepped forward and gave back to him in his own way? Molesting Hong Sheng in turn?
But her stupid brother, can this kind of rotten trick of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to be embarrassed......
"Where's the wild seed?! I've never seen you, grandpa! I won't let you get out of this village today! Hong gasped angrily.
"Okay, how can I not be happy if you ask me to live in your house?!" Du Ercheng clapped his hands and laughed.
"Get your name in! Let Grandpa hear which one is the grass! Hong Sheng stepped forward and wanted to grab Du Ercheng's collar, but Du Ercheng dodged lightly.
Du Ruo didn't want to be embarrassed by Du Ercheng here, so she quietly looked to both sides, but no one paid attention to her, so she left quickly with the painting.
Although Hong Sheng is looking for trouble and fighting all day long, Du Ercheng is not easy to mess with, he probably can't suffer a loss, even if he suffers a loss, it can be regarded as a lesson for him, Du Ruo thought so.
When she got home, she locked the painting in a box and went to cook.
Cai also came back from Mrs. Wang's house slowly, saw the flat pole resting in the yard, and entered the house and wondered: "Your brother didn't leave?" ”
"Ah, he's not leaving, stay here for a few days!" Du Ruo said.
Cai's face changed, "It's not far away, how can there be a place to live at home?" Besides, isn't there anything wrong with your mother's family? Isn't he allowed to help with the work? ”
"He's going to go to the academy, and I'll keep him here for a few days."
"It's such an adult, it's not good to do anything to study, what can you read!"
"Leave that alone." Du Ruo said again.
"Humph! There was already a casual meal at home, and here comes another one! When will life be better! The crutch in her hand poked the ground a few times.
"Mother, don't say that, I haven't disliked you." Du Ruo said in a light tone.
"Scared! What nonsense are you talking about,? I'm talking about you! Don't pretend to be confused! She no longer played sloppy, and the disgust for Du Shi in her heart was all expressed on her face.
Turning his head and seeing Song Ju'an coming in from outside, Cai's suddenly became extremely aggrieved, and said in a crying voice: "My mother is getting old!" It's not a few years to live! I was also disgusted by my daughter-in-law, saying that I ate white rice! The old man is lying in bed, and no one helps me, this old woman! I might as well be dead! ”
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Song Ju'an walked over and asked.
Cai hurriedly pointed at Du Ruo and said: "Your mother-in-law scolded her mother just now, saying that her mother eats white rice and doesn't do any work, and I am tired and tired for this family...... Woowoo...... Why is my life so bad......"
It's really going to be a rake! Du Ruo glanced impatiently at the door, wiped his hands and got up to lift the lid of the pot.
Song Ju'an comforted Cai's two sentences, and said to Du Ruo in a stern tone: "Mother is an elder, you have to let her be a little bit, pay attention to what to say and what not to say." ”
Du Ruo was silent.
Song Ju'an coaxed Cai and helped her to the hall.
When it was time to eat, Du Ercheng still didn't come back from outside, Du Ruo stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited for a while, then turned around and went home, Cai and Song Ju'an had already eaten.
She walked into the West House, took out the knife under the pillow and hid it on her body, and prepared to go out and look for Du Ercheng.
At this time, the courtyard gate was pushed and there was a sound, and Du Ercheng shouted in the courtyard, 'Second sister!' ’
Du Ruo walked out and saw that Du Ercheng's face was blue and purple with bloodstains, one foot was sloping, and his clothes were rotten in several places, and he was standing in the courtyard by Su Mingyang and another young man in the village.
"Second sister! Give me a hand! Du Ercheng hurriedly said.
"Mingyang, you two leave him alone, just leave him here!" Du Ruo said unhappily.
Hearing her words, the other person let go of his hand, Su Mingyang originally wanted to let go of his hand, but Du Ercheng moved all the weight of his body to his shoulders, Du Ercheng tiptoed and said with a flattering smile: "Second sister, there is a scoundrel in your village, molesting other little girls, I fought with him, and he was more seriously injured than me!" We didn't suffer! ”
"Sister-in-law, the people are sent back, let's go!" Su Mingyang said to Du Ruo.
Du Ruo hurriedly thanked him.
Waiting for Su Mingyang and them to leave, Du Ruo looked at Du Ercheng who was leaning and standing, and then looked back at the house, Song Ju'an had a calm face, and Cai didn't look at this side.
Du Ercheng also seems to see that the problem is coming, he is not welcomed! The second sister doesn't seem to be doing well in this family.
"Second sister, don't be angry!" Du Ercheng said with a smile, and said that he jumped to the hall on one foot, "Mother-in-law! Brother-in-law! I made a mistake, you should talk about it, you should scold! Don't treat me like an outsider! If there is anything going on at home in the future, call me, and I will be very energetic......"
Du Ruo sighed secretly and walked into the house.
The next day, Du Ercheng followed Song Ju'an to the school, and Du Ruo took a carriage to Yunshui Embroidery Village.
After the female workers arrived, she and Aunt Zheng took leave, and went to Meng Yuanzhou with her things.
When she arrived at Biyun Pavilion, the next person told her that Meng Ye was not there, and that she had something to do early in the morning, and it was unknown when she would come back, so Du Ruo had to go back again.
Walking to the bridge from before, she paused and looked in both directions, where the view was stunning. This side of the river runs through the whole embroidery village, the river water is clear, and the water plants at the bottom are oily.
She turned around and saw a few people walking on the grass not far away, it seemed to be Old Master Meng and Little Young Master Meng Xiuwen.
When she got closer, she heard Meng Xiuwen's cry, as if Meng Xiuwen wanted to break free and run away, but he was held by Old Man Meng and did not let go, coaxing him to go forward, and the subordinates who followed him were helpless one by one.
She didn't want to stand here and not work and be seen by her master, so she turned around and walked to the other side, and after walking a few steps, she saw Meng Yuanzhou walking towards the bridge step by step with his hands behind his back, and in a blink of an eye, she saw her standing on the bridge.
