Chapter 141: The Future
There are no ghosts in the world, only in the hearts of people.
This night, those who have no ghosts in their hearts sleep soundly and peacefully as before.
Those who have ghosts in their hearts also sleep peacefully because of the ritual they did during the day.
The sun rose as usual the next day, and the north courtyard was really stable all night, and there were no more abnormal phenomena.
Hua Chen went to Lutong Academy to attend classes as usual, while Hua Jin stayed at home to read calligraphy and painting.
Now she already has two books to copy.
When she came back from Changyi, her grandmother asked her and her brother to each pick a copy of her mother's relics to take away, Hua Jin picked a copy of "Snow Lake Plum Book", plus Zhangfu Zhongyuan also had a copy of her mother's "Bamboo Book".
Some of the specialties of the previous life need to be revealed little by little so that they will not appear abrupt and suspicious.
In her previous life, she had been painting since she was a child, and her most desirable college was the Academy of Fine Arts, and her most desirable profession was to become a freelance painter.
Helplessly, she broke her arm before the professional exam in the college entrance examination that year, and lost the opportunity to pursue her dreams, in the final analysis, she was not persistent enough.
In this life, she has to pick up the brush again.
Outside the study, Bai Tao brought a cup of ginseng tea, looked at the peach guarding the door with a solemn expression, and said softly: "The fifth girl is still painting inside?" ”
Zhi Tao nodded, "The fifth girl has ordered, don't let people disturb you." ”
Bai Tao's face became even more solemn, "After I bought that painting from Wenyuan Pavilion yesterday, I said that I wanted to practice painting well. I was stuffed in this study all day long. She sighed, "It's almost lunch, and you haven't even drunk your saliva?" ”
Zhi Tao became nervous after thinking deeply, "Could it be that the fifth girl was caught by something unclean, right?" ”
With a snap, Bai Tao reached out and hit Zhi Tao's hand, "What nonsense?" ”
Hua Jin in the small study heard the conversation between her two personal maids, raised her lips and smiled, she lifted the cuizhu diagram that had just been drawn on the bookcase, and blew the ink stains that had not completely dried.
After putting the painting into the locked wooden box that had been prepared earlier, he laid a new piece of rice paper on the bookcase, and hurriedly scribbled a few strokes.
After putting down the pen, Hua Jin cleared his throat and commanded outside the door, "Come in." ”
The white peach opened the curtain and hurried in, and Hua Jin stood up from the bookcase and stretched his muscles, "Bring the tea to the warm pavilion outside, and lunch will also be used there." ”
Bai Tao turned around and went out, but Zhi Tao quietly stood on tiptoe and poked into the bookcase.
Oh, my God! The five girls have been bored in the study for so long, is this painting of caterpillars arched together?
When Hua Chen came back from the academy, the first good news to Hua Jin was that Xuan Fei had really returned to the academy to attend classes.
But when he asked his sister with concern what she had been doing at home that day, he found that the expressions of her two personal maids were a little difficult to describe.
"What's wrong with my sister?" He said eagerly: "Did someone make my sister unhappy?" ”
"No, don't worry, brother." Hua Jin hurriedly said, "My sister wants to learn to paint, but her foundation is shallow. ”
She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and the tourmaline bracelet hit the azure Ruyao teacup and made a tinkling sound, which made people feel even more happy to listen to it.
But maybe her maid wasn't in a good mood.
"I want to learn how to draw!" Hua Chen really wanted to say that he could guide his sister one or two, although he was not a professional painter in his previous life, he played good basic kung fu, but ...... It's too suspicious to draw out of thin air, and he still doesn't dare to teach his sister.
Hua Chen was a little regretful, "My brother has time to help my sister find a few more books, and my sister will copy them slowly." ”
Speaking of this, the two brothers and sisters went to Chaohui Courtyard together to say goodbye to Mrs. Tai.
When I entered the house, I heard the eldest lady Wang and Mrs. Tai talking about Princess Su going back to Zhangfu to wake up her relatives.
"Prince and Princess Su have returned to the house, this is the glory of our Zhang Mansion." Mrs. Tai sat on the big kang by the window and smiled pleasantly, and did not forget to tell the Wang family, "You have to prepare well, the princess is a noble person, don't lose your manners when the time comes." ”
It was rare for Wang to show such a pleasant smile, "My daughter-in-law will definitely do her best to prepare." ”
Mrs. Tai bowed her head, "Just take out the good things in the public and give them to her." ”
The Wang family was overjoyed when she heard this, "Then the daughter-in-law will thank Mrs. Tai for her love for the princess first." ”
It's just that for Prince and Princess Su to go home and wake up their relatives, the girls of the Zhang family have their own plans.
Zhang Huatong married into the royal limelight for a while, she was lucky, and gave birth to the eldest son of King Su in the second year of marriage, and has now been named the prince's son, and will inherit the prince's title in the future.
Although Prince and Princess Su have not regenerated in the past two years, her position is stable enough.
If anyone can get into the eyes of this princess's sister, she will be promoted and favored a little, and she will marry into a noble family in Beijing in the future, and this life will be regarded as a bright day.
Even if they can become the weight of Jingning Hou's talents, it also means that they have use value.
That's probably what women in this era think.
But your honey is arsenic.
Huajin just wants to live in peace, as for the future?
She wanted to walk around on her own, and she didn't want to leave her fate in the hands of someone else.
Out of Honghun Courtyard, Hua Cai, the fourth girl in the third room, stepped forward and pulled her sleeve, "Fifth sister, the eldest sister has been married for so many years, and she has never woken up from home for so many years, I have forgotten what she looks like." ”
When any of the sisters in the family said this, Hua Jin would feel that there was a certain purpose, but only Hua Cai. That's what she said, that's what she thought.
Hua Jin smiled slightly, "Fourth sister, I'm a year younger than you." You don't remember, where will I remember? ”
The only memory of the child is the arrogance and coldness of this big sister, who is a few years older than their sisters, and there is inevitably a generation gap.
Hua Jin looked at Hua Cai's expression, presumably she thought the same way.
And when they were gone, they were all gone, and when they returned to their rooms, they were in a different state.
At the other end of the long room, the Wang family happily began to order someone to arrange the wing room on the east side of Taoyuxuan, where Zhang Huatong lived before he got married.
With Mrs. Tai's instructions, the Wang family was even more unscrupulous, and ordered someone to move out a new set of high-quality rosewood furniture in the warehouse of Gongzhong and place it in the east wing, and the ornaments inside should also be replaced with new ones.
After this toss, the sky was already dark.
And the three sisters in the second room returned to the Honghun courtyard, but it was so silent.
The seventh girl, Hua Wei, went to Chaohui Courtyard every day to say goodbye, her face was neither happy nor worried, and her speech seemed to be empty without feelings, and her voice like a sparrow spirit never appeared again.
After experiencing such an encounter, her behavior seems normal but not necessarily normal, Hua Jin always remembers a sentence: no longer explode in silence, die in silence.
And Hua Jin believes that Hua Wei is definitely not a person with such a fragile vitality, and the woman's sixth sense tells her that Hua Wei seems to be more ruthless than her mother.
