Ren Yaoqi chuckled and said, "Dad, my daughter is back!"
After a while, Ren Shimin's figure appeared at the door of the east wing, and it was a little strange to see Ren Yaoqi: "Yaoyao? Why are you back today?"
Ren Yaoqi took Ren Yaohua and walked forward to salute Ren Shimin, and said with a smile, "I came back with my aunt and uncle. I heard that my father was repairing some ancient painting here, so I came with my third sister to see it. Look."
As soon as Ren Shimin listened to Ren Yaoqi's mention of ancient paintings, the light in his eyes was bright, and he waved to Ren Yaoqi: "Yaoyao, come and see, these are two beautiful pictures drawn by Jiang Yuanyi."
"Jiang Yuanyi's painting?" Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised.
Jiang Yuanyi was a court painter more than 300 years ago. He was best at painting pictures of beauties. It is said that he painted more than 200 pictures of beauties in his life, most of which were collected in the palace. It is a pity that a fire broke out in the palace when the dynasty was changed, and a lot of paintings and calligraphy were burned. Among them, most of Jiang Yuanyi's paintings were burned, so that only about 20 paintings were handed down in the end.
Jiang Yuanyi's painting style is gorgeous and the characters are vivid, and he once made a big wish to paint all the beauties in the world, so those who are not good-looking can't enter his paintings. Fortunately, he was a court painter at that time, and the emperor's harem 3000 provided a guarantee for the continuous publication of his masterpieces. At that time, the palace concubines were also proud of being able to enter Jiang Yuanyi's paintings.
After Jiang Yuanyi's death, many people imitated his style of painting, but it is a pity that no one has been able to surpass him for hundreds of years. On the contrary, there is a school of painting style called "Jiang School". The paintings of "Jiang School" have two common characteristics, that is, people with gorgeous and picturesque style must be beautiful.
When Ren Shimin was young, he was very obsessed with figure painting for a while, and it happened that he was also a fan of the "Jiang School" style of painting. Although Mr. Ren San has turned his fascination with landscape painting, Jiang Yuanyi's paintings are still very different to him.
Ren Yaoqi remembered that in his last life, Ren Shimin also seemed to have acquired two paintings by Jiang Yuanyi, but that time he did not repair it himself, but handed it over to an old-fashioned painting and calligraphy shop in Yunyang City. The two paintings were not brought back, as if they were destroyed
Ren Yaoqi didn't remember much either, because Ren Shimin wasn't too happy when she mentioned those two paintings, so she didn't ask any more.
Ren Yaoqi has followed Ren Shimin into the east wing.
Fangzhiyuan also set up a study in the main room. Maybe Ren Shimin disliked that study because it was too small and was afraid that it would not be able to be used, so she asked Fang Yiniang to clean up the two connecting rooms in the east wing.
In the center of the east wing are two large bookcases of huanghuali, placed together, on which are two paintings, ink and paint, and some repairing tools.
Seeing Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua coming in, Aunt Fang didn't say anything, she smiled gently, turned her head and told her maid to bring some tea in a soft voice.
Ren Shimin had already walked to the desk, turned his head and said to Ren Yaoqi, "I have carefully identified it, it is an authentic work. It's just that this painting was not preserved at the beginning. I heard that it was hastily buried in the backyard by the owner during the war. It was buried for decades, and when it was dug up, it was almost broken into pieces. From the level of the life paper when the table was revealed, it should have been repaired once before, but the repairer was so rough that he almost destroyed a good painting. !" When Ren Shimin said this, his expression was a little indignant.
Ren Yaoqi was about to lean over to take a closer look, but heard a strange female voice say, "Don't worry, sir, the little lady will be more careful when she unveils the frame."
It was only then that Ren Yaoqi discovered that there was a woman who had been standing bent over at the desk just now. She thought she was a servant girl in the yard and didn't pay attention. At this moment, the woman turned her head to speak, and Ren Yaoqi saw her face clearly and confirmed that she had never seen it before.
The woman was in her early thirties, she wore a woman's bun, and looked very good from the side, but looked a little ordinary from the front. I just heard her claim that she is not a servant.
The woman put down a small bamboo tweezers in her hand and bowed towards Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua: "I have seen two young ladies."
The graceful posture in action is very charming.
Ren Yaohua frowned and looked at her a few times, but she didn't move, she wouldn't have a good impression of anyone who appeared in Fang Auntie's yard.
"Who is this?" Ren Yaoqi smiled at the woman and asked Ren Shimin.
Ren Shimin's attitude towards the woman was very kind: "She was invited by me to help me mend my paintings and calligraphy. All my ancestors did this. This time, thanks to her, I almost made a big mistake before."
Invite a woman to repair calligraphy and painting in the inner courtyard? Ren Yaoqi thought that only her father could do this.
However, when this woman appeared in Aunt Fang's yard, she couldn't bear to think too much.
"Oh? Female cultivators are rare, and she must be able to get your daddy's praise. Where did daddy find someone?" Ren Yaoqi stepped forward and looked down at the painting, while asking casually.
"I don't worry about handing the painting over to a painting and calligraphy shop for repair, and I'm worried that I can't finish it by myself, so Aunt Fang asked Sun Eleven." Ren Shimin carefully rubbed the scraps of paper on the bottom paper with his index finger.
Sure enough, Aunt Fang found it.
But what did Aunt Fang find a woman in her thirties for? If it is for the sake of solid pet, you should also find someone younger and beautiful. Although this Sun Eleven is not bad in appearance, she is not the most beautiful, and she is also old.
Ren Yaoqi was also a little confused for a while, thinking that he had to check the details of Sun Eleven again.
"Dad, will my daughter help you when the color is full?" Ren Yaoqi sat in front of the desk, tilted his head with his cheeks supported.
Ren Shimin glanced at Ren Yaoqi hesitantly after hearing the words.
Full color is the most important step in the entire repairing process, that is, using pen and ink paint to repair the incomplete parts of the ancient painting one by one, and then redraw the parts that have faded, which is an extremely test of the painting skills of the repairer.
Ren Shimin wanted to do this part by himself, but he couldn't say that he didn't believe the little daughter's painter when the younger daughter brought it up.
Ren Yaoqi showed a big smile: "I don't care, I also want to repair the painting. If you don't agree, I will steal the painting for yourself."
Cold sweat broke out on Ren Shimin's head, and he wanted to get angry and preach a few words, but when he saw the smiling face of his little daughter, he couldn't lose his temper. He thought that this was also because Yaoyao liked to draw like herself.
Aunt Fang came in with a tea tray and smiled: "Miss Fifth, the master likes this painting very much, you should let him do it himself. If Miss Fifth also wants to try repairing the ancient painting, I can change it for you to find it for you. Just come back."
Ren Yaohua said coolly: "I remember that the fifth sister liked Wen Zhouzi's paintings from the previous dynasty. Since my aunt is so enthusiastic, let's give her two more. By the way, she only likes genuine works."
Ren Yaoqi looked at Aunt Fang expectantly.
Aunt Fang's face froze slightly, revealing a wry smile.
Seeing that they were making a fuss, Ren Shimin was thinking about his paintings, so he compromised to Ren Yaoqi: "You can come along, but if you want to start writing, you must get permission from your father, and then I will paint the simple parts for you."
Ren Yaoqi nodded immediately and smiled: "I know, Daddy."
Aunt Fang took the opportunity to laugh and said, "Miss Jiu also said that she wants to learn. Master, can you let her come and have a look? She doesn't write anything, but just learns more things with Master and Miss Wu."
Ren Yaohua said in a very disrespectful way: "I want her to learn to be a person before learning to paint! Last time I said that I would ask the fifth sister to teach her how to paint. My sister changed a painting, and I can't even figure out how to draw and copy!"
Aunt Fang tugged at the handkerchief tightly.
Ren Shimin frowned and looked at Aunt Fang: "Is there really such a thing?"
Ren Shimin likes to come to the celebrity and romantic style the most, and he is the most disdainful of those underhand tricks for fame and fortune, and never disdains to be in the company of such people.
That's why Han Yunqian deliberately lost to him when he played chess with him last time, and he had doubts about Han Yunqian's character. Ren Yaoyu painted the paintings that Ren Yaoqi changed just to show off at the Qianjin Banquet, which made Ren Shimin very contemptuous.
Aunt Fang's face turned pale, and she forced a smile: "Master, Fifth Young Lady is young and doesn't quite understand..."
Ren Shimin said indifferently: "Then teach it well! Teach her until she understands! Don't mention the matter of letting her learn painting with me again in the future."
Aunt Fang bit her lip, lowered her head, and wanted to cry.
Ren Shimin no longer looked at her.
Ren Yaohua bent the corner of his mouth, feeling very happy. Seeing that Aunt Fang was deflated, she didn't think it was a boring thing to stay here and watch some painting.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua stayed in the east wing of Fangzhiyuan for a while, and they didn't talk to disturb Ren Shimin, and Ren Shimin didn't chase anyone away.
It was almost noon when Sun Eliniang left Ren's house. It was said that she had something to do at home and wanted to come back tomorrow. Ren Shimin saw that she was meticulous in the trivial matters of repairing paintings, and she became more and more kind to her, and even asked Aunt Fang to reward her with ten silver coins.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua were sent by the old lady to come and call them to eat, and when they walked out of Fangzhi Courtyard, they happened to hear two old ladies talking.
"... When you say that, I look a little like it."
"Isn't it like that? When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was the lady from the Fang family who came to be a guest at the mansion again."
"I don't know whose wife it is now."
Ren Yaohua walked over and asked, "What are you talking about? What Miss Fang?"
The two women who were talking turned their heads and saw Ren Yaohua startled, and seeing Ren Yaohua's impatient expression, they quickly replied, "The slave girl said that the woman who just came out of Fangzhi Courtyard looks a little like that. Miss Fang's cousin who came to live in our house several times a few years ago."
Miss Fang's watch? Fang Yahui

The parents said that the next chapter will release the time notice, but the author's scum's notice is rarely accurate... 〒_〒
Because sometimes it feels like it can be completed in two or three hours, but in the middle of writing, the author will think about some details or check the information. So the update time was later than expected.
This makes the author scum very sorry, and I am really sorry.
Generally, the update time is around 12:00 pm. If there is an update, it is usually 9, 10, or 10:00 in the morning, or rarely in the morning or afternoon.
For example, the chapter of today's Pink Plus may not be able to be written and sent out in the early hours of this morning, and I will find time to fill it up tomorrow morning or noon.
Again, apologies for the efficiency! 〒_〒
Finally: I hope that those who still have pink tickets can support a vote~
