Sheng Weiqiao was startled when he heard the words and looked in the direction she pointed. Sure enough, not far away, Sheng Weirao dipped his fingers in some water or wine and sketched something on the dining table. Zhao Yue made an embroidery stool and walked on Next to him, he looked and nodded.
She twitched the corner of her mouth and said: "Oh, I don't know, that cousin Zhao Wu seems to be very obsessed with painting. When I didn't arrive before, he got interested and started painting on the spot, and his fourth sister pointed out something. Flaw, we got to know each other just like that. At that time, they were probably talking about painting skills and the like, right?"
"Young Master Zhao Wu is famous for his obsession with painting. He even gave up the imperial examination for this reason." Huan Yehe picked up the wine bottle in front of him, swung the light green wine in it, smiled inexplicably, and said, " From the beginning, the Zhao family followed his earnest persuasion, then became helpless, and now they just beg to let him go if he doesn't do anything that would disgrace the family... After all, Old Madam Qin is still here, and it would be wrong to lose her legitimate mother when she was a child. Big Brother, should you watch more closely after all?"
Sheng Weiqiao frowned, wondering if she was reminding him that although Zhao Yue was not valued by the Zhao family because he refused to take the imperial examination and concentrated on painting, the Zhao family might not be willing to let him marry a woman who had lost her reputation. Even if he is not the county owner.
"Should the Zhao family pay more attention to the fifth cousin?" She thought for a while and then said, "After all, he attracted a lot of attention just now when he pestered his fourth sister. At that time, Xi was in front of so many people. Isn’t it a bad thing if people from his sister-in-law’s side see this?”
Huan Yehe heard the meaning behind her words and asked curiously, "Did the Lord of Fuchang County talk about someone else? Is it from the Qi family?"
"It was introduced by the Qi family. I don't know if that means it. Whether it's really possible or not, we have to wait and see." Sheng Weiqiao said vaguely, "The eyes are so strong. The fifth cousin is so entangled with the fourth sister. I don't think it's possible." trouble?"
Huan Ye laughed and said, "It's good that he is a famous painter, so he is not as prone to gossip as other young masters... Tomorrow is the princess's birthday, so I won't argue with him for now. I'll look back. Let’s talk to the Princess again, and ask the Princess to help deliver the message. Is the Zhao family a close direct relative? If there is a quarrel, let alone other things, it would be awkward to move around during the New Year and the festival. "
Sheng Weiqiao said that the Zhao family should take good care of Zhao Yue. The master didn't like Huan Yehe's suggestion that the Zhao family would not ask Sheng Weirao to be Zhao Yue's wife, but he had no intention of seriously arguing with the Zhao family about this matter.
Hearing the words at this moment, he said calmly: "I said no, forget it that time. If he pursues his fourth sister in the future, he will not follow her!"
The scene was over now, but next time Sheng Weiqiao was talking to Huan Ye about this and that, but he kept paying attention to Sheng Weirao from the corner of his eye.
Seeing that Sheng Weirao didn't know what to draw, he finally finished it. He looked relieved, said a few words to Zhao Yue, pointed to the pattern on the desk, and probably wanted to send him away. Zhao Yue looked at the water stains carefully for a while, as if he wanted to continue asking for advice. Bu Nao probably saw the forbearance and alienation between Sheng Weirao's brows. Before, he smiled coquettishly and turned around three times before walking away. .
Sheng Weirao walked around for a while, looked around, and saw that Sheng Weiwu's seat was empty, so she asked a maid. After a moment, she seemed to hesitate, then straightened her skirt and came towards Sheng Weiqiao.
Huan Yehe also noticed it and covered his mouth with a smile: "The Lord of Fuchang County probably has something to tell me privately. He won't disturb our sisters anymore."
She got up and left, going back to her seat. She was always charming and lively. Before, everyone was afraid of Sheng Weiqiao and saw her walking with Sheng Weiqiao, so Mei Nao came to greet her.
When Ru Ming saw her going back, many people gathered around her and immediately surrounded her and silenced her.
Sheng Weiqiao looked at her for a few times and then looked away, asking Sheng Weirao who had already walked up to her: "Where is the eighth sister?"
Sheng Weirao spread her legs and said: "Like Guangchang County, Yunyang County has gone crazy, and her two maids are following her. I hope they have some sense of restraint and don't bore people too much!"
"That's what he said. He hasn't seen her for a while." Sheng Weiqiao nodded slightly and made some room for her to leave. "It's hard to walk around their children's house."
After hearing those words, Sheng Weirao looked at her and smiled, which was quite meaningful.
"What?" Sheng Weiqiao was slightly startled when he saw this, and Dong unconsciously touched his face, thinking that there seemed to be nothing dirty, right
"Will the third sister grow up after getting married?" Sheng Weirao reminded her after hearing this, "When our family held banquets before, you and the eighth sister would skip the banquet every time!"
Sheng Weiqiao coughed dryly and said, "He will accompany his eighth sister, but he won't be able to walk on his own!"
She hurriedly changed the subject, "He seemed to have seen what I was drawing for cousin Zhao Wu just now?"
"He was thinking about the picture of the palace maid looking at her fortune." Sheng Weirao twitched the corner of his mouth, and his original smile quickly faded away, showing a little impatience. "Have you ever seen a copy, and the copy was not good? The bunch of flower branches on the side should be strong and powerful, but they are soft and weak. So I asked him to draw an authentic painting for him. What's inside... Third sister, I said, isn't that embarrassing? He has only seen the original painting for a while. That’s all, I didn’t think about copying at the time, so how could I remember it in such detail?”
She curled her lips and said, "However, he was so loud and angry that he refused to leave. He couldn't say anything harsh and he was afraid that he would attract attention if he continued to stay, so I just painted him with a few strokes. .”
Sheng Weiqiao praised sincerely: "Our family has really buried me! Some of the paintings my mother collected are big ones that he has seen since he was a child, but if you teach him how to draw a few strokes, he will be afraid of painting flowers and branches, and he will be able to draw them crookedly. From Chaihe. This shows how talented the fourth sister is!"
"What's so high?" Sheng Weirao told her in a dumbfounded voice, "He doesn't know much about it, well, it doesn't even count in the eyes of experts. I didn't want to be pestered by that person anymore, so I just drew a random picture. Please stop disturbing him after seeing that his painting skills are shallow!"
Seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao smiled and said: "He just told County Master Jingshu about that person. Jingshu said he was a famous painting fanatic in Chang'an City. Only people like us who have been in Chang'an for a short time don't know that!" People who are obsessed with one thing always act differently and unconventionally, right?"
In fact, she did not mean to say good things to Zhao Yue, but she knew that Hongsheng Weirao was not that kind of surly person. The reason why she was so disgusted by Zhao Yue's approach was ultimately because of her early experience, which made her wrong with her relatives. There is an inherent dislike and wariness of foreign men.
Sheng Weiqiao felt that it was not good for Sheng Weirao to come to the east to go on a blind date with the candidate recommended by the Qi family, so he asked her cousin to relax in a subtle way.
When Sheng Weirao heard this, he bit his lip and said, "People like Bu Nao are too ignorant and annoying."
But he hinted that he knew the seriousness and would not stop eating because of choking and embarrass the Sheng family in the east. The reason why he disliked Zhao Yue was because he refused to ask for a blind date and kept pestering her, so he felt disgusted.
"It's his mother-in-law's birthday tomorrow, so I think he can take care of it." Sheng Weiqiao told her, "His father-in-law and his sister-in-law will mention it later and ask the Zhao family over there to take care of him. "
Sheng Weirao said "Yes": "Let's talk to the third sister like that. He has always been a low-key boy, so it's troublesome to say that, but if that's the case, please tell his family. It seems that we are stingy, so forget it." Bar!"
She didn't want to talk about Zhao Li anymore, and turned to Zhao Taoyi, "That Miss Zhao San seems to be a little bit worried about the wrong sister? He went out just when he saw her and hasn't come back until now. I guess she is probably afraid. Someone told her something."
"It seems that she was unjustly accused. If it were him or her, she would have to hide away at that time." Sheng Weiqiao said, "But it's my aunt's birthday and it's hard not to come."
Sheng Weirao seemed to be hurt by those words, so he sighed quietly: "The world is wrong and we women are always harsher."
"Everyone has their own opportunity." Sheng Weiqiao comforted her tactfully, "I think Mi Zhen was born into a poor family, but she was living outside the home when she was only five years old. It is not easy to live in the East. But it was not possible at that time. Has all the suffering come to an end?"
"Third sister, it's rare for sisters to talk to each other, why don't I mention third brother-in-law?" Sheng Weirao heard this, but glanced at her resentfully and said, "You know we are kind and cruel, but you don't have to remind him of your sister all the time, right? "
Sheng Weiqiao pretended to beg her to be beaten: "He said serious things to me, but I used him for entertainment!"
After fighting for a while, Sheng Weirao thought of something and said to Sheng Weiqiao, "Do I remember that Aunt Nan asked me to borrow a cook?"
"Of course I remember." Sheng Weiqiao nodded and said in surprise, "Why did the Wu family ask to come to Chang'an? I didn't see my aunt sending someone to the prince's palace to tell him!"
Sheng Weirao said: "It was very strange at that time. It seems that because the DPRK and the Central Government were arguing about recruiting pirates, things that should have been implemented in the first month of the year were delayed until now. Procrastination. When Aunt Nan came over to deliver things two days ago, she occasionally mentioned that it was going to be fast, and she estimated that she would arrive in five days."
She added, "Mrs. Feng privately told him that day, begging him to remind me when he saw Third Sister when he came back. When I sent the cook to Ningwei Hou Mansion, those rare things that were bought in the market were If not, rely on the ingredients that the Sheng family specially sent to me from the south, and don’t forget to ask the cook to take a batch to the Ningwei Hou Mansion. Otherwise, the cooks will have trouble cooking without rice and ruin the dust-washing banquet of the Hou Mansion."
Sheng Weiqiao said dissatisfied: "So he begged his aunt to remind him?"
Is she so unreasonable
At any rate, it was announced that Feng’s leg master had been teaching leggings for more than two years!
What's wrong with her being so distrustful
Sheng Weirao smiled and said, "Mrs. Feng, do you feel sorry for me? I have such a considerate aunt that not many people can envy!"
At that time, Mrs. Qi, who was in charge, came over, nodded to Sheng Weirao first, and then said to Sheng Weiqiao: "Third brother and sister, I will prepare something. When the eldest son and the third brother's brother-in-law come, we have to kowtow to the mother and concubine. Happy birthday!”
