24. Ask Shen Qingluan to paint a portrait of Du Wenniang
Jun Hongbai's face softened slightly.
However, Shen Qingluan was not touched by his reprimanding of Du Mianmian in the slightest, and he drank a cup of tea with a faint expression and got up to leave.
Jun Hongbai hesitated for a moment, shook off the pitiful Du Mianmian and followed.
"Ma'am."
Shen Qingluan looked back.
Jun Hongbai stroked his chest and said with difficulty: "I heard that you are good at calligraphy and painting in the boudoir, especially the portraits of people are the most lifelike. ”
Shen Qingluan groaned: "Uncle has something to say, it's better to say it directly. ”
"I'd like to ask you to draw a picture of Danqing for me." Jun Hongbai was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, but he still forced himself to speak, "It's a portrait of Wen Niang." ”
Shen Qingluan raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.
She did not refuse his request, nor did she resist painting Du Wenniang.
Jun Hongbai's heart was sour, he didn't know whether to be happy or lost, but in the end, he still made it clear the ins and outs of Du Wenniang's portrait being torn by Jun Yuan.
"I see." Shen Qingluan's expression was inexplicable.
"I haven't met Sister Du."
But this is a lie.
She just didn't expect that in this life, Du Wenniang's portrait would still be ruined.
In her previous life, she longed to marry Jun Hongbai for a hundred years, and she was naturally curious about Du Wenniang, who was worried about him in her heart.
That day, when she was cleaning Jun Hongbai's study, she opened Du Wenniang's portrait curiously.
It turns out that Du Wenniang is a different woman like her.
Shen Qingluan was proud and frank, and Du Wenniang was weak and shy.
Shen Qingluan was free and easy, and Du Wenniang's eyes were full of attachment and dependence.
Shen Qingluan is beautiful, but Du Wenniang is a shy beauty who can't bear to climb.
It was this curiosity that was smashed into a mess by the stubborn Jun Yuan with mud.
Although Jun Yuan missed, Jun Hongbai naturally blamed all the mistakes on her, and criticized her as worthless from a tutor to a woman's morality.
Afterwards, in order to please him, Shen Qingluan spent seven days painting an identical portrait.
It was also in the process of depicting Du Wenniang's charm that she was invaded by this woman's weakness, flattery, and pity.
She gradually lost her grace, elegance and arrogance, and truly became a woman who prayed for mercy in front of Jun Hongbai.
Enough is enough, don't think about it anymore!
Shen Qingluan forced himself to wake up from the years of losing himself, and his eyes were stained with ice inch by inch.
"Forgive me for my incompetence, how can I draw someone I've never seen before?"
Jun Hongbai wanted to speak and stopped, I don't know whether to persuade her to agree, or glad that she refused.
In her heart, she should have a little mind.
He suddenly remembered the night of the candles in the cave room, and the amazement in his heart when the hijab was lifted.
At that time, Shen Qingluan was dignified and gentle, with affectionate eyebrows, he was not unmoved.
It's just that his heart was given to Wen Niang earlier, and he was destined to live up to Shen Qingluan's affection.
No wonder Shen Qingluan is cold and alienated from him now, and I think it is also because he was heartbroken.
He can't give her the love she needs as a woman, so he can only make up for it in other ways.
Thinking like this, he had no intention of blaming Shen Qingluan for her refusal at the moment.
Instead, he said softly: "I made a mistake, and it's really too difficult for you." ”
Shen Qingluan bowed coldly.
Jun Hongbai said again: "Thank you for taking a concubine today, today I know that I can't live without you by my side."
What you said to me in the past is a jewel of words. In the future, if I do something wrong, I will ask my wife to tell me directly. ”
Du Mianmian, who was looking at the two of them with his eyes behind him, instantly cooled half of his heart.
She already knew that Jun Hongbai's attitude towards Shen Qingluan had changed, and she was no longer cold and disgusted in the past.
But his trust and love for Shen Qingluan was still beyond her expectations.
If this continues, what will she do?
She tried her best to squeeze into the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, but not to be a concubine and watch Shen Qingluan's scenery!
"Uncle."
Du Mianmian said weakly: "That painting was made by the painter on my sister's twenty-first birthday?" I remember that although my sister was not in good health at that time, she was still very happy to see the painting, and she rarely drank three glasses of wine with me. ”
She deliberately talked about Du Wenniang, for fear that Jun Hongbai would forget about it in the early stage.
Jun Hongbai really fell into memory.
Twenty-one years old.
It was Wen Niang's last birthday with him.
Du Mianmian was also melancholy: "Seeing that my sister looked very good that day, I thought she could get better again, but I didn't expect ......"
She stopped talking just right, and turned to look at Shen Qingluan pleadingly: "Madam, this painting is of great significance to me and to my uncle, when my sister and we had their last birthday.
I have long heard that Mrs. is excellent in painting, so I asked Mrs. to help my uncle, so as not to let my sister's appearance disappear into the world. ”
Her face was full of complaints, as if Shen Qingluan refused, she would be a great sinner who would let Du Wenniang die again.
If Shen Qingluan agreed, it would be the credit of Du Mianmian's face to pray, but it was a matter of course for Shen Qingluan.
It's really a good calculation.
Afraid that Jun Hongbai wouldn't be able to see her credit, she added: "Madame doesn't have to worry about not being able to draw my sister's appearance, my sister and I look similar, if you deliberately dress up, you can have seven points of resemblance."
And I'm twenty-one years old this year, so my wife can paint in my likeness. ”
Shen Qingluan looked at her playfully, and suddenly asked unexpectedly, "Do you know why Junyuan tore that picture scroll?" ”
Du Mianmian was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect her to answer, but instead changed the topic, how could she let her slip away like this, and said busily:
"Brother Yuan'er is certainly at fault, but it is useless to pursue the mistake at this time. What's more, when such a thing happens, Brother Yuan'er is the one who hurts the most in his heart, why should Mrs. hold on to it and worry about him as a child. ”
Shen Qingluan shook his head and sighed: "I thought I had seen enough of Aunt Du's cheekiness, but I didn't expect Aunt Du to always open my eyes." ”
Her face sank, "Brother Yuan'er kept saying that he wanted to recognize Aunt Du as his mother that day, so the father and son fought with righteous indignation. The uncle didn't want to hurt the friendship with Du Fu, so he didn't say anything about Aunt Du's mistakes.
But Aunt Du, as a concubine, made waves before she even got started, instigating the father-son relationship of the Jun family, but she still has no remorse, she is really a businessman, acting rampantly, and there is no order! ”
What a big hat, what a big pot!
Du Mianmian was speechless, sweating like pulp in an instant, and the clothes she had just changed into were already soaked.
Jun Hongbai stood silently behind Shen Qingluan and showed his attitude with his posture.
Du Mianmian's heart was completely cold.
In the past two years, she has been in front of Jun Hongbai, and with the support of Jun Yuan and Jun Qian, she has pressed Shen Qingluan to death.
But I don't know when the situation was completely reversed.
At this time, she vaguely found out that she tried every means to force Jun Hongbai to accept her, and then won over Jun Yuan and Jun Qian, these two moves were really wrong!
However, now that everything is a foregone conclusion, it is too late to regret it.
Du Mianmian forcibly suppressed the remorse in his heart, and knelt down to forgive.
Shen Qingluan looked at her coldly for a moment, a few thoughts rolled back and forth in his heart, and finally he didn't say anything more, brushed his sleeves and turned around.
Du Mianmian regarded Jun Hongbai as a life-saving straw, so he naturally regarded her as a roadblock.
As everyone knows, Shen Qingluan has no intention of being nostalgic for the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion at all.
If she really didn't want to, she would have a way to keep Du Mianmian out in her past life and this life.
It's just that in her previous life, she really pitied Du Mianmian and was helpless, and she was willing to fulfill Jun Hongbai's thoughts to take care of the Du family.
In this life, she has made up her mind to reconcile, and she is naturally willing to stir up the water of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion as muddy as possible.
It's just that Du Mianmian obviously regarded her tolerance as weakness, and dared to do this, provoking her one after another.
As she said before, although a bed bug can't bite her, it repeatedly stretches out its claws to probe, which is really disgusting.
If you don't chop off one of her hands, I'm afraid she will never know how to write the word awe.
Jun Hongbai looked at her back, hesitated and was about to follow, when Nanchun from Fushouyuan hurriedly came over.
"Uncle is not good, Mrs. fainted, go and take a look!"
Shen Qingluan paused in his footsteps and glanced back at him from afar.
It stands to reason that she should go to serve as a granddaughter-in-law, but she was disgusted by Du Mianmian, and she will not have the heart to be a filial son and grandson.
After a while, he turned around and walked away.
Anyway, it's already like this, so you shouldn't know about it.
When he returned to Hanguang Courtyard, Changdong was still kneeling in the courtyard.
Seeing Shen Qingluan's skirt approaching, Chang Dong slammed his frame and said in a hoarse voice.
Shen Qingluan sneered.
The master of Servant Xiao, who looks like a bold and reckless, is actually the same as Jun Hongbai, a cartilage egg.
"No need to knock."
Shen Qingluan stopped in front of him.
"You know that you have offended me, and you think I will make you pay what price."
Changdong's fear climbed to the peak, and he wanted to take the initiative to ask for punishment, but he really couldn't say it.
Uncle Zhang ridiculed a subordinate who was blind when he opened his eyes, so he paid a pair of eyes.
And if he spoke ill of his wife and the Shen family, he should cut off a tongue.
"Get up."
Shen Qingluan raised his hand and suppressed his crazy kowtowing action, "Kneeling for so many times, it's enough." ”
Shen Qingluan looked at Shang Changdong in disbelief, "The state has national laws and family rules, you probably don't know, the law of the Great Zhou is now that the elders of the Shen clan take people to repair it."
The reason is that there is a legal basis, the law is strict, the law is appropriate, and the punishment is not too heavy. ”
Her voice was slow, soothing the long-standing fear in Changdong's heart, but it made another indescribable coercion emerge in his heart.
"If I have this surname, I will not do anything that insults the Shen family. The old marquis acts strictly, and although I respect him, I also have my own way of acting. ”
After a few words, Changdong was ashamed and embarrassed.
He knelt in the courtyard for so long, although he was full of begging for mercy, he was full of fear and resentment towards Shen Qingluan, but he didn't dare to offend Shen Qingluan again.
can listen to her delicate voice, but she was gradually touched by her brightness of "looking up to the sky and bowing down to people", and bowed her head with shame.
Yes, Madame has always been like this.
She has a profound family background, but she has never put on a high stand in front of the Hou Mansion.
She has the utmost cunning and sharp tongue, but she never disdains to use it as a knife to hurt others.
Shen Yi's surname is her backer and support, but it is also the golden rule and jade rule for her behavior!
In the past, he looked down on his wife, and belittled her character as weak and stupid.
Now that he has changed places, he knows that his wife is clearly noble and elegant.
