Sheng Weiqiao had been warned by Xuan Yu and Feng before he came. Looking at the situation at that time, he naturally immediately thought that the Zhao brothers and sisters were making things difficult for Sheng Weirao, and his face suddenly turned pale!
Very well, Lord Yunyang raised his voice first and asked, "What are we doing around here?"
"Third sister, am I here?" Sheng Weirao in the middle heard this, and as if seeing a savior, she pushed the Zhao brothers and sisters away and walked over quickly, "He was looking for me just now!"
The situation looked more like that the Zhao brothers and sisters were making things difficult for them and they were eager to seek help from him. Sheng Weiqiao raised his legs and pulled her behind him. He was begging Zhao Yue and Zhao Taoyi, who were following him by mistake, to say: "Every wrongdoer has his own debtor, and his debtor has his owner." "You two are wrong. If you have any objections, just come to him. Why bother to make things difficult for his sister?"
Zhao Yue had already wet her legs and asked half curiously and half expectantly: "Third cousin, I heard that your father is good at painting and has a picture of the palace concubine painted by a famous artist from the previous dynasty?"
Is the picture of the palace maids wishing for luck more than 300 years ago? It is one of the most representative paintings in the life of a famous artist who looked at the history of ancient Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was priceless at that time. Not to mention, due to the war in the middle, several people in the picture were removed and disappeared as early as the early years of the dynasty.
When Zhao Yue brought it up, Sheng Weiqiao thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is such a thing as a palace concubine, but he is not sure whether it is authentic or not... What does that have to do with his cousin?" ?"
Because Feng loved painting, when they were in the boudoir, Mr. Feng and Mrs. Zhan loved their daughter and bought her many ancient paintings. When she left the boudoir, they even gave her a large box of famous paintings.
And Sheng Lanci has always doted on his wife and daughter. Before the Sheng family was prosperous, it was just that. After it became prosperous, he was never stingy when it came to his wife's preferences. He often spent a lot of money to make Feng look good.
Therefore, there are many famous and ancient paintings in Feng's private treasury. If the situation is not that of Zhao Yue, then of course it is difficult to tell the north, south, east, and west of Feng Xi.
But Sheng Weiqiao didn't like the wrong painting. Although she often went into Feng's study room, and even looked through the box where Feng kept the scrolls when she was young, she didn't just look at them casually.
At this moment, I was wrong about Zhao Yue's inquiry, but I was more concerned about whether Sheng Weirao would suffer a loss.
"Third sister, just now Mr. Zhao Wu got excited and painted in public." At that time, Sheng Weirao was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he whispered behind her back, "After the painting is finished, let everyone see it. He talked too much about a few of the strokes and asked for permission." It would be better to make the color lighter, for example, like the color of the flowers on Gong'e's temples in the picture of Gong'e looking happy. It turned out that he asked him where he had seen the picture of Gong'e looking happy, and he said that it was in his aunt's collection... Then he asked if he could borrow it... He..."
Sheng Weirao is Feng's niece. Her biological mother, Hong, was very angry with Feng during her lifetime. How valuable is the palace concubine's wish for happiness? Sheng Weiqiao's biological daughter can only open her mouth. How can she dare to agree to such a thing
Zhao Yue is usually not a presumptuous person, but his interest in painting has reached the point of obsession. When it comes to this matter, he is uncharacteristically persistent and is extraordinarily persistent. Doesn't that mean he is entangled with Sheng Weirao
Did he come here with Zhao Taoyi? He was pestering Sheng Weirao. Zhao Taoyuan felt it was wrong and followed him to persuade him. It turned out that the guy attracted everyone's attention and actually surrounded them!
Then there was a misunderstanding when Sheng Wei's two nieces, Qiao Bichang and Yunyang, came in
After listening to his cousin's story, Sheng Weiqiao's face softened slightly, he glanced at the crowd in the side hall, and said to Zhao Yue, "My cousin, please tell me if Gong'e is interested in Xingtu. He will write to his mother later." His cousin is a bit afraid of strangers, and if she’s negligent, I kindly ask that I don’t hold it against her!”
Zhao Yue knew that he was telling the truth and blamed himself for scaring Sheng Weirao. He went to apologize and said: "If my aunt really hides the original of Gong'e's fortune-seeing picture, he wants to visit Sheng Mansion in the south to have a look. Unknown cousin Can it be accomplished?"
Sheng Weiqiao thought at first that he wanted to see the painting of Princess Xiong'e looking at her fortune, but he was a little reluctant to have the painting taken to Chang'an, so he wrote to ask Feng, but he had no intention of agreeing.
Please ask her, although she is not very interested in that kind of ancient paintings, is her mother's cruel thing? And Zhao Li and her are relatives, and their relationship is not good enough for her to suppress her mother's mood. Complete.
But at that time, according to Zhao Yue's advice, there would be no problem if he went to Nanfeng County to see the paintings in person, because there were people in the county who liked paintings, and anyone who was qualified to visit Sheng Mansion wanted to appreciate Dongfeng's collection. If so, Feng Dong would agree in most cases.
Dangdong nodded readily: "If it is not authentic, my mother will not be stingy."
Seeing that they had finished speaking, Zhao Taoyi next to her smiled faintly and nodded to Sheng Weiqiao: "My brother has always been ruthless. As for Meng Lang, I very much ask my cousin and the Lord of Fuchang County not to argue with him!"
Sheng Weiqiao saw that her attitude was calm and did not mean that she was trying her best to cause trouble for him. He felt relieved and said with a smile: "Cousin, you are too polite. My cousin is really good-natured."
She thought for a while and then said, "He remembered that in his dowry, there was a scroll of golden landscapes and two scrolls of colorful doves and rabbits. I wonder if my cousin would be interested? If so, he would ask someone to find it later and give it to my cousin. My brother enjoys it."
Zhao Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he went to ask: "No, no, no, no, no, General Li and Duke Yan..."
He was interrupted by Zhao Taomei before he could finish his words: "Fifth brother, my cousin will definitely come over and say hello to everyone. I will talk about my affairs later when my cousin is free. I will stop my cousin at that time." It's rude to be at the door."
Then Zhao Yue was pulled away without explanation. Before leaving, Sheng Weiqiao smiled politely and said, "Cousin, please do as you please. They won't bother you anymore!"
Sheng Wei and Qiao Minghong didn't care about what happened before, and the peace just now was probably forcibly supported, so they couldn't stand Zhao Li's enthusiastic acceptance of her kindness.
That feeling was understandable. Sheng Weiqiao smiled without saying anything, and walked into the crowd to chat with everyone.
She noticed that many people's faces looked a bit regretful. Did she think that she probably didn't see the conflict between herself and Zhao Taomei
"Are those people really ridiculous?" Sheng Weiqiao was thinking in his mind, "No outsiders will be invited to the palace tomorrow, and those who come are all relatives. The Qi family, the Zhao family, the Yuan family, and the Sheng family can at most add the Huang family, even if they are each other I looked at Bu Ling for a while, but how could I express my gratitude for the misfortune? After all, everyone was tied to the King of Gaomi at that time!"
But then she discovered that most of the regrets were related to her family, and she felt sorry for herself, "Then I hope that after his conflict with Zhao Taomei, the Mi Zhen County Prince's Palace and the Zhao family will become so troubled that even the superficial peace will be destroyed." Unable to maintain the situation?”
The reason why the Qi family is so hopeful is obvious: they feel that Rong Suihe's mistake has posed a huge threat to Rong Qingzui, and they wish that the more hatred Rong Suihe could draw from him, the better.
Especially Zhao Taoyuan's biological father, Huaihua General Zhao Shi, held military power. The Qi family did not want to see any good relationship between the Zhao family and the Mi Zhen County Prince's Palace.
"The old lady from the Zhao family is very reasonable. When they first came to Chang'an, she took her own granddaughter to apologize to them. Even if the couple was dissatisfied at that time, how could they show it in public? ?" Sheng Weiqiao thought about it and snorted secretly, "The Qi family wants to watch the fun, but they won't let it happen!"
She was impatient, and after talking to everyone for a while, she found an excuse to get rid of Guangchang County Lord and Yunyang County Lord... In fact, when the two nieces heard that Meiluo was coming on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they were disappointed and made the mistake of sticking to their aunt. Not so enthusiastic anymore.
So Sheng Weiqiao got away and led Sheng Weirao and Sheng Weiwu to find an unoccupied room and shut up: "There were so many people just now, please tell me in detail, what's going on? Are you looking for me on purpose?"
"It should be no." Sheng Weirao shook his head, "No, he is not good and he shouldn't talk too much."
Sheng Weiqiao comforted him: "What's the matter? Zhao Yue paints in public, and I criticize him. Is it a matter of course? If you don't want to listen to opinions, why don't you just paint at home? Anyway, he is not a great master. Since I see the flaw, what if I tell him? We are also afraid of the Zhao family!"
She was also a little curious, "He doesn't remember that Fourth Sister, I am also interested in Danqing?"
Because they were sisters in the same room, and the relationship between Hong and Feng was not very good at the time, so although they were cousins, they actually did not have very close contact with each other whether Hong was alive or after her death. . Yuanji didn't know each other as well as Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu.
But Sheng Weiqiao also vaguely remembered that Sheng Weirao was good at needlework. When she was very young, she would make some small items to please Mrs. Sheng and Ming Ming... Of course, she did so under the orders of the Hong family.
Bu Nao Sheng Weiqiao was also a beneficiary: Sheng Weirao did most of the needlework that she needed to do before leaving the palace. That's not because Sheng Weiqiao bullied her sister, but because her leg skills were so bad that it would bring shame to the Sheng family. Sheng Weirao and Sheng Weiwu would be suspected of never having had an injection in the future.
As for painting, Sheng Weiqiao didn't remember asking her own mother for advice, let alone taking a special trip to Chuntai to visit Feng's collection.
Speaking of which, Shen Jiuniang... That year when Mrs. Sheng celebrated his birthday, Mrs. Ming and Sheng Lanxin tried to persuade Sheng Lanci and his wife to reconcile. They once mentioned that Shen Jiuniang should learn painting from Feng...
I don’t know where my cousin Ruming is
Are those who swim ten thousand still alive in this world
Before Sheng Weiqiao finished his thoughts, he saw that Sheng Weirao hesitated and said it truthfully before: "When his mother was still alive, didn't she often ask him to do some needlework to honor his grandparents? Later, after his needlework skills improved, Because it was impossible to send purses, sachets, belts, embroidered handkerchiefs, etc. to my grandparents every day, I had free time. His mother asked him to learn painting privately."
It goes without saying that the purpose was directed at Mr. Feng.
However, Sheng Weiqiao found it strange that because Hong had always been jealous of Feng, why did she ask her daughter to do what Feng liked so much
As if he had guessed what she was thinking, Sheng Weirao twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered: "Did you happen to hear that any scroll in the aunt's study is worth a fortune, and even thousands of hectares of fertile land can't be exchanged for it... Thinking that aunt has always been He doesn’t care about money. He hopes that after he completes his studies, he will be praised and praised by his aunt. Maybe her aunt will give him a few scrolls of paintings if she’s in the mood... Isn’t that profitable?”
Sheng Weiqiao: "..."
Sheng Weiwu asked curiously: "So Fourth Sister, did my eldest aunt draw it for me? How did I see the picture of Gong'e's wishing for happiness?"
"After I started learning painting, I happened to go to my aunt's study to talk about something. I saw the picture of a palace lady looking at happiness hanging on the wall. At that time, I remembered his mother's instructions to please my aunt, so I asked her a few words. Speaking of whether it was her original dowry, Mr. Feng spent a lot of effort to get it to his legs." Sheng Weirao smiled bitterly, "So of course the eldest aunt couldn't give him the scroll, but she also gave him a crystal inkstone that day... Sigh. , His mother can't look away, and she can't see that her family has done her a favor."
Regarding Hong's character, although both Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Wenu disapproved of it, they couldn't say much in front of Sheng Weirao.
Sheng Weiqiao changed the subject: "Whether Second Aunt's move will help us tomorrow? We don't know. Before, many Jingshu County Lords dismissed him as unlearned and unskilled. But tomorrow Zhao Yue will paint on the spot." After that, no one else can be singled out, but the fourth sister is the best. Looking back, who dares to say that our daughter of the Sheng family is not well educated!"
