Chapter 41: Calligraphy and Painting
 : : : : After everyone tasted some tea, Mrs. Qin said: "Old lady, this time we came, the main reason is that these two children have something to ask each other, they are not sensible, want to be a play, if there is recklessness, I hope the old lady will forgive!" β
 : : : :Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "Wanying, what you said is too foreign, the day before yesterday I saw Xiaoyu, this child liked it very much, they were willing to bother me, an old woman, I was too late to be happy!" β
 : : : :Xiao Yu asked Bai Fu to present the LancΓ΄me gift box and osmanthus lotion, Xiao Yu first saluted Mrs. Qin and said: "Mrs. Qin, my sister and I are idle and playing at home, we have been using it for a long time, and the effect is not bad." The recipe was originally a recipe from the palace, the old lady and Sister Qin can try it! β
 : : : :Mrs. Qin opened the wooden box with great interest, picked up the porcelain bottle with cardamom and looked at it: "Who painted the cardamom on this bottle?" The pen is weak, and the follow-up is weak, I guess it should be Miss Qi's handwriting, right? Hearing this, Qi Pan hurriedly got up and said: "Old Madam Qin's eyes are as wise as a torch, it is indeed a little girl's study, which makes the old lady smile!" While speaking, Qi Pan's little face was already flushed.
 : : : :Old Madam Qin squinted at Qi Pan, waved her hand and said, "Miss Qi, sit down, don't be so restrained, your mother and I are old acquaintances." Although your cardamom pen is not good, but the painting is smart, a few strokes are quite expressive, a bit of the meaning of the Zhou Guangchao Dynasty, who are you learning from? β
 : : : :Qi Pan had already sat down after listening to Mrs. Qin's words, and when he heard Mrs. Qin's question, he stood up trembling again. Old Madam Qin saw her fidgeting appearance and smiled: "Oh, Miss Qi, don't be so nervous, just sit and talk." Xiao Yu gently reached out and held Qi Pan's little hand, Qi Pan's hand was cold, thinking that he was extremely nervous.
 : : : :Xiao Yu smiled comfortingly at Qi Pan and said, "Big sister, sit down and talk, Old Madam Qin is so kind, even if she says something wrong, it doesn't matter." After Qi Pan held Xiaoyu's hand, he felt a lot more determined.
 : : : :She sat down slowly, settled down and said: "Back to the old lady's words, the little girl is often sick because of her poor health since she was a child, and these are all things that the little girl pondered about Master Zhou's works when she was fine on the sickbed. β
 : : : :Mrs. said ashamedly on the side: "Hey, old lady, it's all useless to me, Pan'er has not been in good health since she was a child, so she didn't invite a famous teacher to teach her ......", after that, Mrs. took out a handkerchief and gently pressed the corner of her eye.
 : : : :Mrs. Qin patted Mrs. Qin's hand gently: "Wanying, over the years, it's hard for you to ......", after that, Mrs. Qin looked at Qi Pan with interest and said: "If you figure it out yourself, it is very rare to paint it like this, especially this painting contains an aura, you must know that this kind of aura is something that many people cannot obtain in their lifetimes!" β
 : : : : Hearing Mrs. Qin's praise, Qi Panxiao's face turned red again, she looked at Mrs. Qin timidly, and then at Xiaoyu, as if she didn't believe that the person the old lady praised was her.
 : : : :Xiao Yu smiled and pushed Qi Pan and said, "Big sister, what are you still doing, why don't you go forward and ask Old Madam Qin to give you some advice!" Qi Pan came back to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Old Madam Qin, the little girl doesn't know...... I don't know...", she didn't know what to say, and turned her head in a panic to look at Xiaoyu as if asking for help.
 : : : :Mrs. Qin bent down and helped Qi Pan and said: "You, you haven't learned anything else, this temperament has learned from your mother, okay, if you don't think I'm bored as an old woman, every ten days in the future, you and your sister will come to me to talk to the old woman." When Mrs. heard the great joy, she hurriedly beckoned Xiao Yu and Qi Pan to give a big salute to Mrs. Qin.
 : : : :Mrs. Qin said again: "You don't want to fix those red tapes, now the old woman is not in good spirits, and she has no heart to teach students, so choose a little bit of guidance that you are interested in!" β
 : : : :Xiao Yu understood in her heart that this was because Old Madam Qin did not allow them to perform the discipleship ceremony. Qin Xueyi heard that Old Madam Qin allowed Xiaoyu and them to come to the house to study, so she also twisted Old Madam Qin to follow the two younger sisters.
 : : : :Old Madam Qin hatefully nodded at Qin Xueyi's forehead and said with a smile: "You girl, didn't you say that you would doze off as soon as you read the book, didn't you pick up the pen and say that it was better to take a horsewhip and be happy, why did you change sex today?" Qin Xueyi stomped her feet and complained about how her aunt dismantled her platform in front of outsiders, while squeezing her eyes at Xiaoyu proudly.
 : : : :Mrs. Qin saw that her niece and granddaughter rarely changed sex, so she naturally hoped that the two Houfu ladies could take their own monkey-like girl to sharpen their temperament, and after Qin Xueyi soaked a few words, she agreed to the matter.
 : : : : A few people sat down again, Xiaoyu explained to Mrs. Qin about his idea of high-end cosmetics, and Mrs. Qin nodded again and again, Mrs. Qin had already heard of Xiaoyu's high-end clothing membership system, so she was not shocked when she heard Xiaoyu's statement.
 : : : :"So, my sister and I still have a reluctant invitation", Xiaoyu got up again and saluted to Mrs. Qin: "The old lady of this LancΓ΄me gift box also saw it, this wooden box is very exquisite, but there is still a painting and inscription missing on the box." Since this gift box is for the ladies and ladies of the major high gates in the capital, we would like to ask the old lady Qin to wave the inscription, in order to thank the old lady for her generous dedication, we have also prepared a year's dosage of Babaisan and red jade frost for the old lady and Sister Qin to use for free! β
 : : : : "Really, am I free too?" Before Xiaoyu finished speaking, Qin Xueyi shouted happily on the side, and then looked at Old Madam Qin with a begging gaze and said, "Auntie, you just agree, okay, you see that it is not easy for their two little sisters to think of something!" β
 : : : :Mrs. Qin couldn't help laughing, picked up the bottle of osmanthus fragrance and sniffed it: "You can afford my wife, it's not a matter to write a word and draw a picture." I'm getting older, and I'm not interested in smearing these fat and powder, it's not easy for your little girl's family to think of some recipes, and the amount of a year is free, but this osmanthus fragrance is good, I like it a lot, you can send me a few more bottles! β
 : : : :Xiaoyu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he happily said to Mrs. Qin: "Then thank you old lady, I will make a few bottles of fragrance and send them when I go back, and when the plum blossoms bloom, make a few bottles of plum blossom fragrance and send them to the old lady!" Qin Xueyi listened to the old lady's resignation of the free dosage of Babaisan and Red Jade Frost for a year, and her face couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.
 : : : :Xiao Yu looked at Qin Xueyi's stinky face and smiled secretly in her heart, and said: "Sister Qin don't be disappointed, your free dosage is still available, as long as Sister Qin thinks it's good to use it, and promote it for Xiao Yu among the sisters!" β
 : : : :Xiao Yu paused and added: "In the future, whenever there is a new product, Sister Qin will be the first to try it for free, as long as Sister Qin uses it, explain the real use experience to her sisters and friends." When Qin Xueyi heard this, she promised again and again that if she used it well, she would naturally recommend it to other nobles.
 : : : :Mrs. Qin shook her head, thinking that people are really angry than people, although her niece and granddaughter are still a year or two older than this little fish, she is obviously not as careful as others, and her joys, sorrows and sorrows are on her face, and she doesn't know whether such a rectum will be a blessing or a curse for this child in the future.
 : : : :After several people agreed on the style and content of the calligraphy and paintings on the gift box, Mrs. Qin invited everyone to move to the study. "It's rare that I'm in good spirits today, so I'll just write the words you want in one go! It's just that this beauty makeup picture can't be drawn in a moment, and you can order someone to take it after I finish drawing! β
 : : : : Mrs. Qin's study is on the side of the flower hall, which is a three-bay open hall, spacious and bright, more than three times larger than the average person's study, and the large window that is open makes the light in the study very bright.
 : : : :Directly above the study, there is a three-character plaque with a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing: "Yi'an Hall". "Leaning on the south window to be proud, judging the ease of the knee", Qi looked forward to the three-character plaque, and gently spit out these two sentences in his mouth. Old Madam Qin turned her head to look at Qi Pan, the corners of her mouth slightly furrowed, revealing a satisfied smile.
 : : : : Facing the door is a piano case, on which is a simple shape, delicate wood guqin. Qi Pan is a person who loves the qin, as soon as he saw the guqin, he went over to take a closer look, only to see the tail of the piano engraved with four small words: "Tongzi Hejing", "It turned out to be a green Qiqin!" Qi Pan exclaimed softly, his little face full of excitement.
 : : : : Even Xiaoyu, a modern person, knows that the green Qiqin is a world-famous qin, and legend has it that Sima Xiangru used this piano to play the phoenix to elope with Wenjun, but I didn't expect this old lady Qin to have such good things.
 : : : :There are four banners painted with the four gentlemen of Meilan Zhuju above the piano case, which is the handwriting of Mrs. Qin from the signature.
 : : : :At the other end of the study is a dense bookcase with a top of the sky, on which are placed all kinds of wire-bound books in order, and a wooden ladder is quietly reclining on one side, which shows that the owner here often uses this wooden ladder to pick up and place books. At the bottom of the bookshelf are neatly lined wooden boxes, and judging from the half-open wooden boxes at the top, there are picture scrolls inside.
 : : : : There is an ebony bookcase in the window, the dark light is dull, and the carving is delicate. Xiao Yu carefully looked at the bookcase, and the three friends around the book were carefully carved. The four treasures of the study room were already placed on the bookcase, and the Chengxintang paper, which was as thin as frost, shone as warm as jade in the sunlight.
 : : : :On the small table on one side of the bookcase, there is a pear-colored moire four-legged Ruyi ear copper incense burner to ward off evil spirits, and a trace of lingering fragrance is emanating from it. Next to the incense burner is a lifelike Shoushan stone carving Buddha's hand.
 : : : :Mrs. Qin took out a delicate wooden box from a small box next to the bookshelf, and said with a smile: "Li Mo, who I only got before, I am reluctant to use it, and I just want to try it today!" βγ After speaking, she took out a small piece of black and purple gargling square ink.
