It's not that Tang Qianxia's painting is bad, but-

In the painting, the 'woman' sits under the tree, smiling lightly, her expression is thoughtful, her green skirt is blue, her clothes are elegant, but she is beautiful and beautiful.

Tang Qianxia is worthy of being famous in Chang'an, her brushwork is 'fine' and vivid, and Zhuo Zhaojie's innocent temperament of being a 'woman' for the first time and still carrying a young 'woman' between her eyebrows is vividly displayed. And very attentive, Zhuo Zhaojie's ultramarine 'color' even cloud pattern dark 'flower' satin narrow sleeve shirt, ink green folded branch 'flower' flower pattern brocade half arm, moon white ground eight treasures entwined branches lotus pattern weaving gold Liuxian skirt, all jumped on the paper, the lines and folds are clearly recognizable.

Even the pair of tired silk and emerald beads on her sideburns are not wrong, and every feather 'feather' on the emerald is carefully depicted.

What surprised Zhuo Zhaojie was the phoenix 'flower' tree behind the person in the painting.

The phoenix-like branches and leaves stretch out, and with this as the vein, the fiery phoenix 'flower' blooms openly and wantonly along the branches and leaves. Like clusters of raging flames, the mighty 'swing' and 'swing' are surging. That kind of unbridled bloom seems to burn all the way to the outside of the painting.

The 'flower' tree is in full swing, which more and more sets off the appearance of Zhuo Zhaojie in the painting, plain clothes and light clothes, but even the blooming phoenix 'flower' tree can not take its grace.

This painting was unexpectedly good, Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned for a long time, and then exclaimed: "The county lord's wonderful pen!" Then he asked, "Is this what the phoenix 'flower' tree is like when it blooms?" "She had seen Ning Shaobi sandwiched in a letter and handed to the dried phoenix 'flower' in the south of the Yangtze River, but she had never witnessed the scene of the phoenix 'flower' really blooming on the branches.

Even if it is only a painting, the thrilling intensity still makes the viewer palpitate.

Tang Qianxia had already paced to the side when she came to see the painting, drinking the tea handed by the 'woman' to refresh herself, and replied leisurely at this moment: "Actually, I haven't seen the phoenix 'flower' tree in full bloom, this tree is produced in Nanzhao, Chang'an has a cold climate, and it is difficult to survive. This plant in the house is expected to have taken a lot of effort to plant it now. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said curiously: "Could it be that the county lord relied on the description in the book to draw? But I've seen the phoenix 'flower' before, although it's dry. However, it is no different from the painting. ”

"I saw a painting of a phoenix 'flower' tree in Ling's cousin Shen Dangu, so when I painted it, I painted it as a scene when the 'flower' bloomed." Tang Qianxia was a little regretful, and said, "The 'color' of the face is still not well tuned, and Shen Dangu's one, the 'color' is thick and bright, and it is as beautiful as a vermilion bird." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was slightly surprised: "Cousin of the Shen family?" Oh, yes, it seems that his biological mother is from Shu, and Shu is close to Nanzhao, maybe he listened to what his biological mother said. ”

"His biological mother is from Shu?" Tang Qianxia smiled slightly and said, "So that's the case...... Strange Dao can come up with a design like the Apricot Sea Waterfall. Hearing that Shu is dangerous, in many places, the iron cable pierces the clouds, the sorrel breeds, and the clouds cross the stream - such a scene, I feel that it is 'fierce' and wanton when I think about it. ”

There was a leisurely yearning in her tone, Zhuo Zhaojie's words turned around a few times, and finally asked: "The county lord is familiar with the cousin of the Shen family?" ”

Tang Qianxia smiled faintly, and said in a somewhat strange tone: "Yes, Shen Dan's ancient painting skills are not bad, especially good at 'flowers' and grasses, I just painted this phoenix 'flower' tree, there are a few places to move the pen, and I still asked him for advice." ”

"I didn't expect the cousin of the Shen family to be so talented." Zhuo Zhaojie was still thinking about why Tang Qianxia had no news of her marriage so far, but when she heard her mention Shen Dangu, she couldn't help but think about it more.

It stands to reason that Shen Dangu's family background is a little lower than Tang Qianxia. But Zhuo Zhaojie knew that this distant relative had real talent and learning, and in the examination two years later, the first rank was expected, even if it fell to the second grade, the ranking would not be low.

At that time, even if he was born in a poor 'family', it would be enough to marry the county lord, not to mention that Tang Qianxia, the county lord, was also awarded the title because of something.

Since the king of Yanchang County lost power and the Marquis of Minping was forced to give office, his grandfather, who had always been dislike to talk for many years, had been known to his descendants for many years, and the various houses of the Zhuo family were much more harmonious than before. Zhuo Zhaojie originally had no ill will towards Shen Dangu, who had helped him several times, so he thought in his heart: "Grandfather is not worried about the fifth uncle's side, and he is counting on Cousin Shen to support the fifth uncle in the future." But the last time the Li family had a few gentlemen...... It can be seen that Cousin Shen will not be without trouble in the future, in the end, the Li family is his mother-in-law. The word filial piety is pressed down, where can the little lady of an ordinary family resist it? If Cousin Shen can marry the county lord and the noble 'daughter' of the clan, I don't think the Li family will dare to do anything. ”

Thinking so, she asked tentatively, "Does the county lord think Cousin Shen's talent is okay?" ”

Tang Qianxia lowered his eyes and drank tea, and seemed to say casually: "Shen Dangu was known as the Longyou prodigy when he was a child, and he was very talented in the end. I originally thought that my drawing skills were good, but there were many places where I still had to ask him. ”

Her answer was already a little interesting, and Zhuo Zhaojie said good things for Shen Dangu, saying: "I didn't see Cousin Shen much before I left the pavilion, but my grandfather always liked him the most, all because of his good talent and hard work. My grandfather used to teach us a lesson. ”

Tang Qianxia smiled and said, "Is that so?" The strange Dao Shen Langjun has a solid foundation, and it turned out to be the painstaking cultivation of Marquis Minping. After a pause, she added, "It's just that Shen Langjun is too taciturn, and he doesn't seem to like it, and last time I also happened to catch a glimpse of a phoenix 'flower' tree he painted, you know that I am quite interested in the way of Danqing, so I want to borrow it." However, after talking for a long time, Shen Langjun reluctantly agreed...... I hope I didn't offend him that time. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was slightly stunned, but he couldn't tell if what she said was true or false. When Tang Qianxia said this, was he interested in Shen Dangu and hated him for not understanding the amorous feelings, or did he really have no meaning and simply explained?

She was thinking about it, but Tang Qianxia said again: "Qi Niang, can you still catch your eyes when you look at this painting?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said: "I never thought that there could be such a painting in the world again. ”

"If you like it." Tang Qianxia said, "Then I'll send it to you in a few days." ”

"Huh?" Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned.

Tang Qianxia explained lightly: "That's the case, I am very satisfied with this painting myself, so I have to frame such a painting myself." And the one who came out to bring this and that one here and that today forgot a few seals at home, and I have to take them back and make up for them. ”

Anyway, I can get it back in a few days, this kind of innocuous request, Zhuo Zhaojie naturally will not refuse, and said with emotion: "Thank you very much!" ”

Tang Qianxia said: "I was thanking you for taking care of that day, you were too polite." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries, Zhuo Zhaojie left her for dinner, and soon after the meal, Tang Qianxia insisted on saying goodbye and leaving.

As soon as she left, Zhuo Zhaojie called Ji Rong again, casually packed up a few pastries and fruits, and asked him to go back to visit You's - he told Ji Rong about Tang Qianxia's affairs, and advised: "This matter involves the reputation of the county lord, you can't spread it, you can only whisper to your wife that you know." ”

Ji Rong lowered his hand and said, "The little one must pay attention to it, and never live up to the trust of the world's son." ”

After sending Ji Rong away, Zhuo Zhaojie 'rubbed' his eyebrows, and said to Aunt Mao: "What do you mean to Cousin Shen when you say that the little county lord of King Jin is just that?" ”

Aunt Mao smiled and said, "Left and right have little to do with us." Only then did he say, "It's a good thing if Shen Langjun can marry the county lord, since the fifth lady returned home, the 'Hua' clan is actually covering the sky with one hand." When Shen was still in the mansion before, he still found her a little unhappy for three days, but at that time, he couldn't suppress her very much. Since the Shen family left home, the 'Hua' family is now more arrogant than before the fifth lady. If it weren't for the order of the prince and the marquis, the family would not be allowed to split up now, and the lady would have long been unable to see the appearance of the 'Hua' clan, so it would be better to stay away from such a person quickly! The fifth room is not like this, Shen Langjun himself and his mother and brother are dragged down, and the little lady of ordinary people has passed the 'door', where can she parry these? At that time, it will have to drag down the big house and our four rooms. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie snorted and said, "Then how can the 'Hua' clan cover the sky with one hand?" Why didn't I hear of her doing anything out of the ordinary when I was in the house? ”

"At that time, the lady had not yet left the cabinet, so how could the behavior of the 'Hua' clan be brought to the lady?" Aunt Mao's words made Zhuo Zhaojie's face hot, and after a pause, he asked curiously: "What is it like?" ”

Mao Gu glanced at the 'maids' who also had their ears pricked up around her, and scolded lightly: "You all retreat!" ”

The 'women' retreated in disappointment, and Aunt Mao told Zhuo Zhaojie: "This 'flower' clan is said to be a 'daughter' of a serious family, but saying that, who knows what she has done since she entered the mansion?" Let's just say that she led Ning Lang to play in the garden last year, and halfway through the seventh young lady had a quarrel with Qilang, went to the garden to relax, and met in two times. Mrs. Xu was upset at the time, and when she saw her, she said a few sour words? As a result, the 'Hua' clan crossed her waist and scolded the seventh young lady for being useless, and she couldn't win her husband's heart, so what was the use of drinking vinegar from her? The seventh young lady was so angry that she was stunned on the spot for a few breaths before she reacted, and finally returned to the third room crying. ”

The Ning Lang that Mao Gu said is Zhuo Qingning, the eldest son of the 'Hua' clan born to Zhuo Fangya, and from this name, you can see how much Zhuo Fangya likes this eldest son.

Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips and said with a smile: "What's wrong with me about such a little thing?" Who in the family doesn't have a quarrel every now and then? ”

That's what she meant, right? It's just that the wording and words mostly involve the boudoir, so it's naturally not good for the lady's family. Aunt Mao said angrily, "Does the lady want the maid to learn all her village dialects?" ”

"Auntie!" Zhuo Zhaojie realized that most of the 'Hua' clan's words were too 'exposed' and vulgar, so he asked the eldest lady and others to hide it from the lady who was not out of the cabinet at home, blushed, and said, "I didn't say that!" ”

Aunt Mao said: "This matter is not over yet, after the third lady found out, she was also very angry, in the end, the seventh young lady is the eldest daughter-in-law of the third room." The seventh young lady is not good, she has the third lady to take care of it, the 'flower' family is just a 'servant' concubine, but she scolds the seventh young lady back like something, where does the face of the third room go? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "The third aunt went to find this 'flower' clan, what was the result?" ”

"Looking for nature is looking for it, the third lady is 'sexual' and virtuous, and the words are still very good. The meaning of that sentence is to let the 'Hua' family not talk too much in the future, the seventh young lady is not good, let the 'Hua' family tell the third lady to go, and the third lady will discipline the daughter-in-law 'woman' herself. Aunt Mao said, "Lady, isn't it right for you to say this?" Of course, the daughter-in-law of the third room should be managed by the third lady. But the 'Hua' clan doesn't think so, the 'Hua' clan, although she is just a concubine, but how to say that she also serves the master of Wufanglang, and she is Ning Lang's biological mother, the seventh young lady said bad things about her in front of Ning Lang, that is to deliberately give Wufang no face! He also said that although the fifth room is the youngest room, now that the prince and the old lady are there, it is not the turn of the third room to climb to the head of the fifth room...... Well, these words are not good, and the maid does not dare to learn from the lady - all in all, the third lady was choked at that time! ”
