Yang Jingchi's maid Qiu'er took two taels of silver and handed it to Bai Xue, and when Rhubarb saw everyone ashore, he also jumped ashore and walked to Shui Yudie, shaking his tail, whining in a low voice, as if he was reluctant. Shui Yudie waved her hand at Rhubarb and left. Rhubarb called "Wangwang" twice to everyone, which probably meant goodbye. After Bai Xue thanked everyone, he rowed away with Rhubarb.

Everyone looked at the snow in the distance, and Shui Yudie thought to herself: "I don't know what the fate of our generation will be?" I was so sad that tears flowed down my heart.

Yang Xiangyi sighed: "After looking at the scenery for a long time, I think it is best to paint it with berries in various forms." Min Yuexin nodded and smiled: "It's all wild bushes, and it's a bit interesting to draw it." Everyone nodded, and came to the pavilion next to the berries in the back mountain, and everyone sat on the stone bench to rest and eat the tea fruit. Yang Jingchi saw that everyone liked to paint berries, and for him, everyone was happy and wanted to have fun, so why should they sing the opposite? Yang Jingchi ordered someone to move tables and chairs to place them next to the berries on the hillside.

Yang Jingchi continued: "Qiu'er went to tell my mother that she won't eat with my mother when she paints with her sisters today, and let her mother-in-law bring the food here." Qiu'er said: "Young master, I'm going to reply, but what do you want to eat?" Yang Jingchi said: "You just look at it and get some." Qiu'er listened and went.

Shui Yudie saw Qiu'er go back to Mrs. Gao. Then he said: "Jingchi, I think it's better to set it according to everyone's conception and preferences?" Yang Jingchi nodded and smiled: "It's good, let people who like painting participate, and choose the best two paintings, and you will get the four treasures of the study." Shui Yudie nodded.

Yang Jingchi walked over and said to the maid Yuanshu: "You go and call Wen Qing and Tian Yuan to paint together." Yuan Shu hurriedly said: "Young master, they are from the lady's side, I don't know if they can come?" Yang Jingchi said: "You go and see if they are free, if they are free, wouldn't it be more lively to call them to paint?" Yuan Shu smiled and said: "Young master, I know you have them in your heart, I'll try it, if you can't call, don't blame me." So saying, he went.

After Qiu'er replied to Mrs. Gao's words, she took her mother-in-law to the hillside. The mothers-in-law put the food on the table in the pavilion and laid them out one by one. Yang Jingchi saw that the food was coming, so he asked everyone to eat a good meal and then paint. And they all ate. Finished eating. When the mother-in-law saw that everyone had eaten, they cleaned up and retreated.

At this time, Wen Qing and Tian Yuan came, and they liked everyone very much when they saw that they were going to paint. When Yang Jingchi saw them coming, he hurriedly asked Qiu'er to beckon them to go to the table to paint. Yang Jingchi said: "You can paint berries or the scenery you like, choose the two best paintings, and appreciate the four treasures of the study." Everyone was very satisfied and said, "That's a good idea." Jing Chi said, "Let's start painting now." "Everyone picked up the pen and thought about it.

Mi Qiurong walked to the berries and looked at the leaves and leaves, the different angles between the fruits and the fruits, the different distances of the size and distance, and it looked like a red glow from a distance. When he saw that everyone had already painted, he took up his pen and began to paint.

Mrs. Gao was eating slowly in the house alone, and the usual lively scene was gone, only Lan Ziping and Wei'er accompanied her and looked cold. At this time, suddenly a person ran into the house in a panic. Mrs. Gao saw that it was Ma Qi, and said breathlessly: "Mrs. Madam" Mrs. Gao said: "Ma Qi, don't be in a hurry to say something slowly." Ma Qi said: "The master is back, and he has arrived outside the gate." Mrs. Gao smiled: "Lan Ziping, let's go pick up the master." Lan Ziping on the side was busy helping Mrs. Gao to pick up the master, and Yang Xiongzhong came as soon as she arrived at the door, only to see Mrs., Lan Ziping, Wei'er, etc., and hurriedly said: "Madam! Yang Xiongzhong sat down and took the tea. Smashed.

Mrs. Gao said, "Jing Chi painted with the sisters in the backyard, and said what berries to paint." Yang Xiongzhong said with a smile: "Madame has worked hard, she has taught Jingchi so well, this family is inseparable from Madame." Mrs. Gao said: "My lord is busy with business every day, and he works hard day and night, so it's hard, I'm nothing." Yang Xiongzhong said: "Having a good wife at home also saves a lot of heart. Mrs. Gao said: "Master, let Lan Ziping call Jingchi, you father and son have some good food and drink!" Yang Xiongzhong said: "No need, I haven't been to the backyard for a long time, I'll go to see them paint." Mrs. Gao hurriedly said: "Lan Ziping, you go with the master!" Saying that, Lan Ziping accompanied the master to see Jingchi.

Lan Ziping and the old man went to watch Jingchi together. Lan Ziping's body exudes an attractive fragrance, which makes Yang Xiongzhong intoxicated, Yang Xiongzhong usually goes home to see Lan Ziping is smart and clever, the longer she grows, the more beautiful she is, she has long thought about it, and today when she saw no one around, she had the courage to hold Lan Ziping in her arms. Seeing Lan Ziping's half-pushed, her face was red, and her heart was pounding. Yang Xiongzhong saw that Lan Ziping was as gentle as a sheep, so he carried Lan Ziping into the study and put her on the bed. The smart Lan Ziping meekly catered to Yang Xiongzhong, Yang Xiongzhong and Lan Ziping were affectionate, and the matter was over. Yang Xiongzhong and Lan Ziping came to the backyard and saw that everyone was painting, and Yang Xiongzhong was happy in his eyes.

Let's say that when Lan Ziping was ten years old, her parents were killed by the plague, and only her grandmother raised Lan Ziping. It was a difficult day, as you can imagine. When she was twelve years old, her grandmother saw that the Yang family was recruiting a girl, so she took Lan Ziping with her. The housekeeper saw that Lan Ziping was quite handsome, but she was too young, and she couldn't do the work in the back hall, so he refused to accept her. The smart Lan Ziping thought to herself: "If you can stay, you will not only solve the problem of grandma's eating, but also save yourself." "Come to think of this. Then he knelt down and cried: "Uncle, I beg you, I will do anything, and I will definitely do it." Just leave me alone. As he spoke, he kept kowtowing.

The housekeeper saw Lan Ziping crying, and saw an old man and a little monster pitiful, so he left Lan Ziping and gave some silver to grandma. When parting, grandma hugged Lan Ziping tightly and cried: "Hard-working child, grandma can't give you anything, learn to be obedient in the future." What the old lady asks you to do, you have to do things with an eye, when you don't live much, your father also taught you to read a lot of words, and you have to read more books in the future, and you have to learn the rules in the Yang Mansion. Lan Ziping nodded when she heard this, she stopped crying, she understood that she could only change her fate by herself in the future. Lan Ziping watched her grandmother's emaciated back gradually fade away.

Lan Ziping came to the back hall to do chores and did it neatly, which was appreciated by everyone. Lan Ziping has a salary, but she often goes back to visit her grandmother, and her grandmother's life has improved.

A few years later, Lan Ziping looked very delicate, a beautiful woman. None of the girls in the Yang Mansion are comparable to Lan Ziping.

On this day, it was Yang Jingchi's eighteenth birthday and was preparing to hold a birthday banquet. Mrs. Gao personally went down to the kitchen to see how well the side dishes were matched. During the lunch break, Lan Ziping was washing dishes and vegetables, and Mrs. Gao saw her working alone. Mrs. Gao said: "Lan Ziping, don't wash the dishes first, you check the menu and see what is missing." Lan Ziping hurriedly put down the work in her hand and dried her hands with a cloth. Picking up the menu, he said, "Mrs. is not short of everything, everything is right." Mrs. Gao saw that Lan Ziping was very fast, and she was a little uneasy, so she took the menu and did it again, and she was really not lacking, so she was relieved.

Mrs. Gao was very satisfied when she saw that Lan Ziping was so careful. looked at Lan Ziping carefully, and saw that she was smart and good-looking, and knew a lot of words, and it was a pity for her to do rough work in the back hall. So, the maid Hongyan in front of him was transferred to the back hall to do chores. So he transferred Lan Ziping to his side. A few years later, Mrs. Gao saw that Lan Ziping was so handsome and steady, so she liked Lan Ziping very much. I also thought that I was old and wanted to keep my lord by my side, so I asked Lan Ziping to read more books and do some needlework when she was fine, so as to please the master. Lan Ziping also lived up to Mrs. Gao's expectations, learning one thing and one thing, and serving Mrs. Gao comfortably.

Who knew that this matter hit it off and fulfilled Yang Xiongzhong and Lan Ziping. Let's say that Yang Xiongzhong and Lan Ziping came to the back mountain, and when they saw that everyone was concentrating on painting again, they quietly came to Jingchi's side and looked at the painting carefully. Yang Jingchi's painting has been completed. When I looked up, I saw my father looking at his drawing. Yang Jingchi said: "Dad, it's so easy for you to come back once, why don't you let people report it, but let your father come to see me." Yang Xiongzhong said: "I am happy that your painting skills can be improved." Yang Jingchi asked his father to sit down, and ordered Qiu'er to pour tea.

Qiu'er only cared about painting, but she knew that the master was coming, and when she heard Jingchi ask her to pour tea, she was startled, and thought to herself: "I'm really damned, why don't I know that the master is coming?" Thinking of this. Hurriedly put down the pen in his hand, poured tea and handed it to the master with both hands. And stood beside the old man with his hands vertical, lowered his head and whispered ashamedly: "Master, I didn't see you coming, I should die, please forgive me." The old man took the tea and drank two sips, put down the cup, and said, "If you don't know, you should go and paint, I heard that you have such an interest, and I can't help but come and take a look." Jing Chi said with a smile: "Dad, since you have this Yaxing, why don't you just comment on it for everyone, and evaluate the best two paintings?" Yang Xiongzhong said: "Okay! Today, I'll be a gentleman and I'll give you a comment." ”

Everyone drew for a long time, and finally finished drawing, and they all handed it in. Yang Xiongzhong looked at them one by one, and after reading them, he selected a few paintings. Yang Xiongzhong ordered Qiu'er, Lan Ziping, Qiu Rong and others to hold the paintings.
