Chapter 112: Drawing with the Left Hand
After drinking the medicine, Shen Yanshu took him to the courtyard to paint, and prepared the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Huang Tingzhou was just about to raise his hand, and when he saw his mutilated right hand, his whole face suddenly changed color.
"My fingers are ......."
He suddenly panicked and muttered to himself, as if he had returned to the scene of the day when he was rummaging through the garbage, looking down for his lost finger, his eyes glazed away.
Shen Yanshu stepped forward and grabbed his mutilated hand, and said gently: "Old man Huang, let's draw with our left hand, you see if the fingers of your left hand are still there, we can also paint." ”
Huang Tingzhou stretched out his left hand in a daze, saw that the fingers were still there, his eyes were wet in an instant, and he said excitedly: "I really have fingers, I can draw, I can draw!"
Shen Yanshu said: "Yes, we all draw with our left hands, come, let's hold the pen and learn to draw together." ”
Her left and right hands can write and draw, but the left hand is not as good as the right hand, Shen Yanshu hopes that Xiyan can come back soon, after all, Xiyan's left and right hands can be used flexibly, and she is very good at copying, when she was punished for copying books when she was a child, she asked Xiyan to imitate her own handwriting to help her copy.
Shen Yanshu helped him shake his hand as if he were teaching a child to draw, and then began to draw it on the paper seriously, so that Huang Tingzhou's attention was focused on the painting.
Then he slowly let go and let him get used to it little by little.
He is obsessed with painting, and only by helping him resume the habit of painting can he slowly get better.
Huang Tingzhou painted a painting, but looking left and right, it was extremely ugly, he frowned and looked at Shen Yanshu aggrievedly, and said, "The painting is so ugly." ”
Shen Yanshu said: "At the beginning of learning to draw, it is like this, if you want to draw beautifully, you have to work hard and practice hard to draw beautiful paintings." ”
Huang Tingzhou nodded, but he believed it, and began to draw again.
When Xiao Yan came in, she saw Shen Yanshu guiding Huang Tingzhou to paint, but she looked very serious.
She heard that Shen Yanshu picked up the beggar who was digging through the garbage, and she was a little surprised, it must be dirty, but now looking at Huang Tingzhou who was cleaned up, although his face was thin, he could still see his former demeanor, put on clean clothes, and tied up his hair, like a weak literati gentleman.
I didn't expect the beggar to change a lot.
"Cousin. Xiao Yan stepped forward, gently pulled her aside, and said, "Do you know that news came early this morning that Yuan Jing'an was dead!"
Shen Yanshu's face was unwavering: "What does it matter to us whether he dies or not?"
Xiao Yan felt strange at Shen Yanshu's calm expression, but she continued: "Although it is very happy, I am afraid that it will implicate us. ”
The Xiao family cheated Yuan Jing'an for a sum of money, and there was a dispute because of Yuan Qingqing's before, no matter what you say, it may be listed as the motive for killing Yuan Jing'an.
Shen Yanshu said: "He has done so many hurtful things, it's not surprising that he wants to kill him, not to mention that I don't know that the Xiao family has a conflict with him, I heard that Qiao Chunwen had a falling out with him before leaving, if it is counted like this, isn't his motive greater?"
Xiao Yan frowned, she always felt that today's Shen Yanshu was weird, but she couldn't say anything strange, she continued: "And that Yuan Qingqing, who was also disfigured last night, that face was scratched with a few hideous wounds, plus he was thrown out by Han Gongzi and broke his leg before, it would have been fine in a few days, but now that Yuan Jing'an has fallen, who still treats her as a young lady, she was bullied by her subordinates." ”
Shen Yanshu said: "If she didn't bully others on weekdays, she wouldn't end up like this." ”
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "I don't know what kind of person the imperial court will send to be the prefect of Jiangzhou next time, if there is another person like Yuan Jing'an, it will be really unbearable." ”
"No matter what kind of person you are, there is always a way to get along, if you are like Yuan Jing'an, you don't have to have a deep friendship. ”
Shen Yanshu was talking to Xiao Yan, Huang Tingzhou finished another painting, and stepped forward to pull Shen Yanshu to show her.
"Yes, there has been progress, and the lines here are much smoother than the ones just now. Shen Yanshu praised.
Xiao Yan walked over and couldn't help laughing, and said: "Your painting is really unusual, if it weren't for the moon season in front of you, I would still think you were painting cotton!"
Huang Tingzhou listened to Xiao Yan's words and said, "You don't understand. ”
Xiao Yan was surprised: "Why don't I understand?"
"I draw the best looks. Huang Tingzhou said.
Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "Then what I painted may be the best-looking." ”
As he spoke, he also stepped forward and spread out another piece of rice paper, then rolled up his sleeves, began to lift the pen and lightly dip the ink, and then began to draw on the drawing paper.
After a while, a delicate moon flower jumped on the paper.
Shen Yanshu took a look at it, and his foundation was indeed good.
Huang Tingzhou just glanced at it and said, "It's far away! You see that your hook is not handled well, and this sense of hierarchy is not good, and there is ...... here."
Originally, the painting that looked good was said by Huang Tingzhou to be worthless.
Shen Yanshu, who was accustomed to Huang Tingzhou's poisonous tongue, was a little excited, although the old man Huang was not very sane, he still had his own unique opinions on the judgment of paintings.
Xiao Yan knew what happened to Huang Tingzhou, but she didn't take his words to heart.
After practicing painting for a day, Old Man Huang was finally willing to paint quietly, and Shen Yanshu returned to his room and took a deep breath.
"Miss. Xiyan came out of the courtyard.
Shen Yanshu wasn't too surprised, counting the days, she should have come back in the past two days.
"Everything is done?" asked Shen Yanshu.
Xi Yan said: "It's all done, but Yin Wuyu said he wanted to see you." ”
Shen Yanshu made a difficulty, she was not afraid of seeing Yin Wuyu, but now her uncle and they looked at themselves a little closely, for fear that something like that would happen in Baiyue Mountain again, and someone would follow her wherever she went.
Yin Wuyu couldn't understand that he wanted to see her, after all, she was now the new owner of the Qilin Talisman, and with his character, he must first understand the person, and only with his own judgment would he decide how to treat the new master.
She groaned for a while before she said, "We will go back to Chang'an in two days, take the waterway, and stop when we reach the vicinity of the Governor's Palace, and then find an opportunity to go out,"
Xi Yan thought this method was feasible, so she nodded.
A maid hurriedly walked over from outside, saluted Shen Yanshu, and said, "Miss Biao, the county lord of Yining has come to visit and said that he is here to see you." ”
Shen Yanshu and Xi Yan looked at each other, why did this Pei Yining get entangled with her?
"Nope. Shen Yanshu said.
The maid said, "But the lord of Yining said that she will wait in the front yard until you go to see her." ”
"If she wants to wait, let her wait. Shen Yanshu said.
The maid was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Shen Yanshu to refuse so simply.
Xi Yan, who was on the side, said: "What are you still doing in a daze, didn't you understand what the young lady said? The county lord asked her to wait if he wanted to, anyway, our young lady would not meet her." ”
The maid came to her senses, bowed, and withdrew.
Looking at the back of the maid, Xiyan sighed.
She said to Shen Yanshu: "Miss, why did this Yining County Lord come to the door, didn't Pei Yao Shizi stop her?"
Shen Yanshu said: "This time she didn't come to you, but to me." ”
Xiyan looked at Shen Yanshu puzzled.
Shen Yanshu told her about meeting Pei Yining on the street the day before yesterday, and the words she inadvertently blurted out that day made Pei Yining feel strange, and she may have begun to doubt her identity.
At this time, it is natural not to see the best policy.
No matter how well a person is disguised, in the face of familiar people, he will still inadvertently reveal his original nature, even if he changes his skin, there will still be people who will recognize you.
Xiyan said: "But with the temper of the county lord of Yining, he will not give up until he reaches his goal. ”
Shen Yanshu said: "Anyway, we will leave in two days, and we will not see it." ”
Xiyan bowed his head, and it seemed that he could only use this method.
Pei Yining waited in the front hall of the Xiao family for a long time, and never saw Shen Yanshu come out, so he could only sit and wait boredly.
It was Xiao Lu's wife who received her, and seeing that she had been refusing to leave, she suggested: "Why don't you come back tomorrow?" Sister Shu'er has been in poor health recently, and it is not suitable to meet guests. ”
Pei Yining shook his head and said, "The county lord just wants to wait until she comes out to see me." ”
"Why bother with the county lord, Shu'er said that she was unwell and couldn't come out to meet the county lord, if you wait any longer, it will be a torment to our Xiao family. Mrs. Xiao said.
Pei Yining frowned and said, "Then why don't you take me to Shen Yanshu's courtyard?"
"The county lord...... This ...... "Mrs. Xiao was embarrassed, she had heard about the festival between the county lord of Yining and Shen Yanshu robbing the maid, if the county lord went to the yard to find Shu'er, it might not be what happened!"
Seeing Mrs. Xiao so embarrassed, Pei Yining waved her hand angrily and said, "I can't eat her again!
Mrs. Xiao knew that she couldn't afford to provoke the county lord of this Jingwang Mansion, so she could only laugh dryly.
"By the way, tell me what kind of person this Shen Yanshu is, right?" Pei Yining's eyes suddenly lit up and said to Mrs. Xiao.
Maybe you might even find some clues!
Mrs. Xiao said, "What does the county lord want to know?"
Pei Yining said: "Just tell me what she likes to cook on weekdays, what dishes she likes to eat, and what she has been doing recently!"
Mrs. Xiao thought for a while and said: "Shu'er has only been here for a few days, and I don't know her preferences very well, but I heard the old lady say that Shu'er is very similar to her mother, kind and gentle, soft and weak. ”
Gentle, soft?
Pei Yining was stunned for a moment, her Yunge sister has always been gentle and weak!
