Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua followed Ren Shimin to the main room.
From time to time, Ren Shimin turned his head to talk to Ren Yaoqi about his participation in the painting meeting in the capital.
"... This time, it was our Prince Yanbei's "Autumn Residence in Dongzhuang", but his father's favorite was "Crossing the Plum Forest" by senior Chen Jingyang. Make the pen traceless, use the ink brilliantly, change the layout, and make the color gorgeous..."
When Ren Yaoqi saw him talking about painting, he shook his head and looked excited, and couldn't help but smile: "Didn't Daddy also participate this time? I remember your favorite "Four Views of the Western Mountains"."
Ren Shimin said for a while, a little shy: "This is the first time for my father to participate in a painting meeting. Before going to Beijing, I was full of confidence, thinking that even if I didn't win the first place, the top three would definitely not be able to escape. But after meeting Mr. Chen After Mr.'s painting, the father deeply thought that he was Yelang before and became arrogant..."
Ren Yaoqi shook his head when he heard the words: "Mr. Chen is in his sixtieth year, but you haven't even arrived yet. When he is your age, he may not be stronger than you. I heard people say that although painting relies heavily on basic skills, Personal experience in life cannot be ignored. Even for the same person, the autumn scenery in his eyes at the age of 30 is different from the autumn scenery in his eyes when he is 50 years old.
Ren Shimin was stunned when he heard the words, and even stopped to think carefully, then turned to look at Ren Yaoqi and laughed: "Yaoyao, what you said is quite new, but it also makes sense. I don't know which expert you heard from. For my father, I must ask him for advice."
Ren Yaoqi lowered his head and smiled, but his thoughts were a little far away.
It's a pity that her father's "Four Views of the Western Mountains" did not participate in this year's painting festival. This painting was the only thing she brought out of the house when she left the Ren family. Later, when Mr. Pei saw it by accident, he was amazed and asked her where the person who painted the painting was. When she learned that it was her deceased father, she was embarrassed.
Mr. Pei once commented on this painting with some of his friends, and they all said that the person who painted it is very spiritual, but it lacks some enthusiasm, and it will surely become famous in the world in time. Reiki is the most precious and indispensable soul of a painter.
"Yaoyao?" Ren Shimin came over and patted her head gently.
Ren Yaoqi said dissatisfiedly: "Daddy, how many times have you said don't pat me on the head!" The little girl's coquettish anger in her tone made herself stunned.
Ren Shimin, however, was accustomed to her little daughter's coquettish behavior from time to time, and laughed loudly: "You can be so smart at such a young age. You can't say it's because of your father's daily credit.
Looking at his self-satisfied expression, Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but smile. In the eyes of everyone in the Ren family, Ren Yaohua is smarter and wiser than Ren Yaoqi, and her mother is no exception.
Only her father felt that her little daughter was better than anyone else.
She has shown a talent for painting that is different from her peers since she was a child, and in order to stay away from her sister and win her father's favor, she is willing to work hard in painting and calligraphy.
Although Mr. Pei later commented that her paintings were eager for quick success and too crafty, they would never become popular. In her father's eyes, the daughter who could talk to him about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at such a young age was the most like him.
Because of this, he is indifferent to his other children, but he loves her very much.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Ren Yaohua, who was on the side. Ren Yaohua was very silent along the way. In fact, she was always very silent when facing Ren Shimin. She is not close to her father.
The joke room has reached the main room.
Mammy Zhou had been looking at the door for a long time, and when she saw the three of them came, they came forward with a smile and saluted: "Master, you are finally back, the wife and the two young ladies have been talking about it. I heard that the heavy snow has blocked several roads outside the city. , many business travelers were blocked halfway, knowing that you have left from Beijing is too urgent, and sent several groups of people to find out the news..."
Ren Shimin nodded slightly towards her and took the lead into the main room.
Mrs. Li had already learned the news of Ren Shimin's return. She had already had her hair combed, changed into brightly colored clothes, and sat against the head of the bed. When I heard the voices outside, I fixed my eyes on the curtain.
When the father and daughter came in, Mrs Li hurriedly sat up straight, looked at Ren Shimin cautiously and said, "You, you are back"
Ren Shimin smiled slightly, nodded, then found a chair closer to the bed and sat down, and said gently, "I heard that you are ill, has the doctor come to see you? What medicine did you take?"
Mr. Li answered them one by one seriously.
The husband and wife asked and answered questions, Ren Shimin seemed like a routine, though thoughtful but indifferent. However, Mrs. Li answered every sentence carefully, for fear that which word was not appropriate enough.
After Ren Shimin finished asking, the couple had nothing to say. One lowered his head and drank tea, while the other stared at the clasped hands in a daze.
Mammy Zhou watched Gan anxiously from the side, and kept winking at Mrs. Li.
Seeing Mr. Li, he bit his lip, and finally summoned up the courage to take the initiative to pick up the topic.
"I heard before that you will arrive in a few days, and I don't want to come back today."
Mammy Zhou couldn't help but caress her forehead secretly, and muttered in her heart: Why does this sound like you don't want people to come back so early
Fortunately, Ren Shimin didn't mind, put down the tea bowl and nodded: "I just met the people of the Han family. There are many of them, and it is convenient to open the way."
Li Shi said: "Oh, the Han family."
The Han family had newly moved to Baihe Town, and Mrs. Li seldom went out to socialize before, and went to Zhuangzi for another year, so I didn't have much impression, so I couldn't continue this sentence.
Mammy Zhou hurriedly said, "Then you have to prepare a gift and send it to the Han residence to thank you."
Li Shi also nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, Mother Zhou..."
Ren Shimin frowned slightly, and interrupted Li Shi's words a little displeased: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already prepared the ceremony."
