In a blink of an eye, four years have passed.
Yun Qing said to Yuxi, "What do you think A Xuan has been doing in recent years? I spent most of the year painting in the study, but I haven't seen a picture of him." Qixuan has not only given it to Feng Dajun and Cui Mo. I have painted only one painting for Han Jianming. Others who come to ask for paintings are rejected.
Yuxi smiled and said, "If you want to know, go to Xuanwang Mansion later to see what he is painting?"
Looking at Yuxi, who was calm and relaxed, Yun Qing was puzzled and asked, "Aren't you curious?"
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Do you tell the kids all your secrets?"
Yun Qing didn't like to listen to these words, and said, "What secret do I have?" He had never concealed a thing from Yuxi.
Seeing Yuxi smiling and not smiling, Yun Qing did not continue this topic after all. Because he has a guilty conscience.
After two days, Qi Xuan came to visit the two.
Yun Qing still couldn't hold back, and asked, "Axuan, what have you been painting in the past few years?" Unless it is a magnificent masterpiece, otherwise it would take so long.
Qi Xuan smiled and said, "I can't say it for now." Except for Gu Jiu, no one else knows about this.
Yun Qing scolded with a smile: "Smelly boy, you even played a dumb riddle with me. Forget it, don't care about you, come and play chess with me."
Qiyou came over just after a game of chess was played.
Seeing him, Yun Qing asked, "Don't tell me that it's a day off again?" No way, Qiyou often arrives late and leaves early, and she has become an old fritters. Qi Hao also relied on him, if he was replaced by other ministers, he would dare to take off the black hat like this early. Of course, Qiyou was eager for Qihao to take off his black hat, so that he would not have to go to bed late and get up early. Unfortunately, Qiyou has never been able to do so.
Qiyou said with a smile, "Father, there is nothing wrong with the yamen, so I will come over to accompany you."
Yun Qing pointed to the chessboard and said, "Come on, next game."
Qiyou was unwilling: "Father, you don't know that I don't like playing chess. Father, let the third brother accompany you to play!"
Yun Qing said with dissatisfaction: "Your second sister also came over to talk to me and play chess with me every few times, and also played the piano to me. What about you? Your brothers are always busy, and you can't see any figure for ten and a half months. Or your mother can say it. Yes, the son is not useful, but the daughter is caring."
Qiyou heard this and said hurriedly: "Father, you let the eldest brother save me from the Criminal Department Shangshu, and then I moved to Baihuayuan to accompany you." Her second sister is also teaching in Wenhua Hall now. And there are not many classes, two sessions a day. If you have time, you will also have time to spend time with your parents in Baihuayuan. Unlike him, he is exhausted when he is busy.
"Don't tell me this, tell your mother."
Qiyou joked: "Father, who is in charge now? Is it you or your mother?"
Yun Qing slapped Qiyou's head: "The courage is getting fatter and fatter, so I even dare to make a joke."
Qi Xuan clutched his head and called it hurt. In fact, Yun Qing just patted it lightly, only to make Yun Qing happy.
Yuxi watered the flowers outside the window, looked up at the father and son and laughed and laughed.
After lunch, the two brothers went back to their own homes.
Huang Siling saw Qiyou and asked, "Master, did you tell King Xuan about that?" Huang Siling's father is getting older and wants a self-portrait too. I heard that Qi Xuan painted the portraits very vividly, so I wanted to ask Qi Xuan to make one for him.
Qiyou nodded and said: "Say it."
"Then King Xuan promised?" Seeing Qiyou shaking his head, Huang Siling asked, "Is there no time?"
Qiyou shook his head and said: "The third brother said that he is not familiar with his father-in-law, and he is afraid that he might not be able to paint his portrait."
This reason was perfunctory at first, and Huang Siling asked unhappily, "He didn't agree with you when you spoke?" She originally wanted to ask Dai Yanxin, but she thought about it and thought it would be safer for Qiyou to speak. Unexpectedly, the husband refused to speak to King Xuan. This person is too unsympathetic.
"The third brother didn't refuse, except that he couldn't paint the portrait of his father-in-law. Siling, let Lin painter paint for his father-in-law, too." Qiyou said Lin painter is the royal painter of the court. Needless to say, of this person's painting level.
Seeing that Huang Siling was still unhappy, Qiyou said: "Since the third brother said that he was not good at painting, but he forced him to paint, the portraits he painted would definitely not be satisfactory." Based on this consideration, Qixuan said that Huang Shoushan is not good at painting. Qiyou did not continue this topic.
Huang Siling said angrily: "According to what he said, will he only paint for people he knows in the future?"
Hearing this, Qiyou smiled and said, "Not only is it familiar, but it must fit the third brother's eyes. Otherwise, he won't paint." The closing of eyes is just a rhetoric from Qixuan. In fact, he knows how to write about people who have feelings. Whether it is Feng Dajun Cui Mo or Han Jianming, he has feelings for these people.
When Huang Siling heard this, he looked up at Qiyou and said, "So, if I don't fit his eyes, he won't paint for me in the future."
Qiyou laughed and said: "Don't worry about this, as long as you open this mouth, Brother San will definitely paint for you."
"What if you refuse?"
Qiyou laughed and said: "If you really want your third brother to paint for your father-in-law, you can wait another two or three years. But if you don't paint well by that time, don't say that your third brother is not dedicated."
"Forget it, don't paint if you don't paint! But speaking of it, what exactly has King Xuan been painting these past few years?" He heard that he was busy painting all day, but he hadn't seen a picture of him.
Qiyou shook his head.
"When I asked my younger brother and sister, she also said that she didn't know, it's mysterious, and she didn't know what she was painting?" She was curious when she hooked her up.
Qiyou smiled and said, "Except for Gu Jiu, we don't know what he painted." But because Gu Jiu was watching, Yun Qing and Yuxi didn't worry about Qi Xuan painting some messy things.
In a blink of an eye, another three months passed. Qixuan brought a suitcase to Baihuayuan.
Qi Xuan pointed to the box and said to Yun Qing and Yuxi: "Father, mother, these are paintings I have made for more than four years, I hope you will like them." These paintings can be said to have consumed a lot of his energy.
These paintings are numbered. Qi Xuan took the first painting and laid it out on the table.
In this painting, the triplets were kneeling dirty in the main hall, while Yuxi raised the feather duster with a face full of anger, but her hand was grasped by Yun Qing.
Upon seeing this painting, Yunqing and Yuxi looked at each other and then laughed.
Qi Xuan said: "When we were five years old, we wanted to go out to play, but my mother disagreed. Qiyou led us away from the guards, wanted to climb from the tree to the wall, and then went out to play. As a result, Ayou just climbed onto the wall. , I was discovered." Think about it when I was a kid, it was really naughty.
Yun Qing thought for a while before saying: "I said that you were still young and wouldn't let your mother beat me. Not only did you not stop me, but your mother even scolded me."
That was the first time Qixuan had been beaten as he could remember, so it was particularly obvious.
Qixuan drew a total of twenty-five paintings. These paintings include Yun Qing and Yuxi beating them fat, some of the family gathered together for a warm meal, Yun Qing taught them martial arts riding and shooting, and Yuxi and Yun Qing walking in the garden holding hands...
After reading these paintings, the eye sockets of Yun Qing and Yuxi were wet. Yuxi looked at Qixuan and said with a look of affection: "Axuan, you have a heart. Your father and I like these paintings very much." Each painting is a beautiful memory.
Yun Qing called Meilan in loudly: "Go and call the emperor, King You, and Liuer to Baihuayuan." Let Ahao and the others take a look at these paintings. Yun Qing believes that they must have a lot of them. Feeling.
When Qihao and Qiyou came over, Yuxi had already asked all these paintings to be hung up. There are more than 20 paintings, and the two rooms are fully hung.
Qi Hao is now very restrained. After reading these paintings, he nodded and said with appreciation to Qi Xuan: "Qixuan, these paintings are very good." These paintings brought him back to his childhood.
Qiyou pointed to one of the paintings and shouted, "Brother, why did you even paint this one?"
In this painting, Yun Qing uses a whip to draw Qiyou and Yuxi flies up to block the whip. Yun Qing's rage, Yuxi's pity, and Qiyou's stubbornly swearing expressions were very vivid.
Qi Xuan smiled and said, "I think it makes sense, so I drew it."
Why is it not good to paint this? This third brother is too good at cheating.
Qiyou hurriedly said to Yun Qing and Yuxi: "Father, mother, give me this painting! I will keep it in my collection." Looking back now, Qiyou didn't understand why he was so stubborn when he was a child. If you bow your head and admit a mistake at that time, you won't be whipped.
Yuxi smiled and said, "No, I'm also going to invite relatives and friends to see these paintings..."
"No, absolutely not. Mother, let Siling and A Xu see this painting. Where can I put my face. Father and mother, please give me this painting!"
Qi Hao also helped set off Qiyou: "Father, mother, if the ministers see this painting, it will damage Qiyou's prestige."
Qiyou hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! Mother, this painting has to be seen by outsiders. It will not only affect my prestige, but also make people think that my father is too cruel." Therefore, he is safer to hold this painting.
Yuxi said amused: "Just say it if you are afraid of embarrassment, and talk such a lot of nonsense around the corners."
Yun Qing waved his hand and said, "I'll give you this picture. But you have to cherish it, and don't break it." Even if Qiyou was very stubborn when he was a child, he was still a child after all. In retrospect, he was really cruel.
Seeing that Yuxi did not object, Qiyou said with a smile: "Father and mother, don't worry, I will definitely treasure it as a baby." This painting is definitely to be sealed.
Qi Xuan said, "Mother, did you just say you want to invite relatives and friends to watch these paintings?"
"Not only to invite relatives and friends, I also plan to invite all the major painters in Beijing to see your paintings." Yuxi did this in order to make Qixuan famous.
Qi Xuan was dumbfounded, then shook his head and said, "Mother, no need." He made these paintings for Yun Qing and Yuxi, not for fame or fortune.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Good things, we want everyone to share. Moreover, let those great painters have seen your paintings, and they will give you some suggestions." Building a car behind closed doors is never a good car.
After hesitating, Qi Xuan nodded and agreed.
ps: The second watch is still before twelve o'clock. Oh, I don't know what's going on these days, I just want to lie still.
