"The intention is first, the painting is intentional." Ren Shimin came closer, looked down at the painting that had been polished by Ren Yaoqi, and praised with surprise, "Yaoyao, your progress in the past six months has really made a difference. Incredible."
half a year? She has been painting for more than half a year...
Ren Yaoqi sighed, but just pursed his lips and smiled.
"The fifth sister drew really well." Ren Yihong looked at Ren Yaoqi and said shyly.
Ren Yihong is the only son of Ren Shimin.
Aunt Fang had high expectations for this son, and she never let the affairs of the inner court be involved. In Ren Yaoqi's memory, this concubine brother was shy and had a good relationship with her.
He is now studying scriptures and history together with several other cousins of the Ren family from an old gentleman invited by the mansion. He can read well and likes to draw, but his talent is not high.
Ren Yaoqi remembered that in the last life, Ren Yihong went to the Fang family to study with the children of the Fang family after Ren Shimin's death. Anyway, she had never heard of Ren Yihong's name in the capital during her lifetime.
Ren Yaoqi smiled politely at him.
At this time, the front yard steward came over and said that the thank-you gift for the Han family was ready, and the fifth master asked the third master if he had time to go to the Han family with him.
Ren Yaoqi tugged at Ren Shimin's sleeve and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, you haven't told us about the painting conference. Besides Mr. Chen and the Prince of Yanbei, which other famous artists participated in this painting conference? What style of painting are they?"
Ren Shimin looked at him curiously when he saw several children, thought for a while, and said to the steward: "The people of the Han family are returning today, too many people are afraid that they will cause trouble for others. Today, let the fifth brother Go alone, and I'll visit you another day."
The steward withdrew.
Ren Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Ren Shimin stayed in the study this afternoon to talk with several children about the painting meeting.
After dinner, Ren's family went to Ronghuayuan to say good night to Mr. Ren and Mrs. Ren. Ren Yaoyu officially moved into Ronghua Courtyard.
In order to appease Ren Yaohua, the old lady gave her a pair of pearl flowers, and she was very kind to her when she spoke.
The fifth wife appeared together with the fifth master. I don't know how the fifth master pleaded for the fifth wife, but the old lady didn't punish her to go to the ancestral hall to think about it. When the husband and wife were standing together, they kept looking at each other.
In the end, the fifth master pleaded with his daughter again, and the old lady Ren reluctantly agreed to let Ren Yaoyu come out of the ancestral hall and be grounded in her room.
After returning from the Ronghua Academy, Ren Yaoqi asked people to sort out the box of clothing and jewelry that Ren Shimin brought back to her, and deliver them to Ren Yaoyin, Ren Yaoying, and Ren Yaoting of the second room. Then he went to the opposite east wing with the share given to Ren Yaohua.
Seeing the clothes and jewelry sent by Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaohua said blankly, "This is what my father bought for you, what are you doing here with me?"
Ren Yaoqi said with a smile: "The fourth sister, the seventh sister, the eighth sister, and the ninth sister all have them. Naturally, you can't miss the third sister. My father said it was bought for our sisters, so how can I take it for myself?"
Ren Yaohua's expression softened when he heard the words.
Ren Yaoqi asked Rang Xier to hand over the things she brought to Ren Yaohua's maid, Turnip, for storage.
A mother-in-law came in and asked Ren Yaohua to answer. Ren Yaoqi saw the brush and rice paper spread out on the table inside, and walked over to take a casual look, but found that it was a half-painted snow scene.
The ink on the painting had not yet dried, and it was obvious that Ren Yaohua was painting before she came in.
Ren Yaohua's paintings are very ordinary, and there are some traces of scribbling, but it can be seen that she is very attentive. Drawing and writing is not Ren Yaohua's specialty, and Ren Yaoqi knew that she disliked these things the most.
Ren Yaoqi used to think that someone as proud as Ren Yaohua should not care about her father's opinion of her. Her usual attitude towards Ren Shimin is also indifferent, and she rarely even speaks in front of him.
At this time, Ren Yaohua came over, glanced at Ren Yaoqi and pulled over the half-painted snow scene on the table, crumpled it into a ball, and casually discarded it on the ground.
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, but Ren Yaohua said indifferently, "I just painted without anything, but the painting is useless. It's getting late, you can go back."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and didn't ask more: "Then I'll go back first." After taking two steps, he paused, "Third sister may as well try meticulous painting, and if you are not sure about the layout, you can use charcoal pen. Sketch first."
Ren Yaohua watched Ren Yaoqi for a while, and she said softly until Ren Yaoqi walked to the door: "Thank you for your trouble."
On the second day, after returning from the Ronghua Courtyard, Ren Yaoqi was talking in the main room of the Li family, but there was a woman in the outer courtyard. Take it to the front yard.
"But what kind of guests are here?" Ren Shimin has always treasured the tea leaves he treasures, and they are usually only used to entertain his best friends, so Ren Yaoqi asked such a question.
"It's the Han family who came." The steward replied.
Ren Yaoqi's face changed slightly: "Is there someone from the Han family?"
"Yeah, Mrs. Han brought Young Master Han and Miss Han here." The old lady in charge did not notice Ren Yaoqi's face, and replied with a smile, "The fifth master said that he would let Young Master Han taste the first product he brought back. Good tea."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't remember whether the Han family had been here in the last life, and she hadn't paid any attention to the family before the Han family broke off their marriage.
But is this life still going the same way as the previous life
Thinking of this, Ren Yaoqi suddenly stood up.
"Qi'er?" Li Shi called in surprise.
Ren Yaoqi came back to her senses and found that everyone was looking at her, she tried her best to calm her breath, she smiled and said, "I heard my father compliment the Han family's family style yesterday, I am very curious about what the Han family's young lady is. Looks like, mother, I'm going to see Miss Han in my grandmother's yard."
