Chapter 23 Collecting Fish 1
Xia Mengning looked at a few pages with the piano score. Zhulian stood on one side and looked at it quietly. From time to time, she took the small fan in her hand and slapped her twice. Although it was spring, the temperature also changed quickly. There was still a cold wind a few days ago, which could make people sweat at noon.
There was a soft sound from outside. Zhulian took the fan and went to the curtain and asked, "Who is outside?"
"Sister Zhulian, my maidservant is Jiu'er. Just now, the servant in front of the master came to report and asked the third lady to listen to the rain table."
Pearl Lotus answered, "I know!" Turning around and walking to Xia Mengning, Xia Mengning raised her head and said, "Let Jiu'er go back to him and say that I'll be there in a moment."
Jiu'er listened carefully outside the curtain and ran back. Xia Mengning put down the piano score and stood up. She held the jade hairpin on the bun with her bare hands and said with a smile, "Zhulian, go with me."
Zhulian smiled and whispered, "Miss San is like a god."
Xia Mengning put her hand on her forehead to block the sun, but there was a burst of relief in her heart. It seemed that this beauty was really useful. Even if Changsun Yun's personality was unruly and unruly, how could he refuse a woman who was humble in origin but refused to compromise in front of others? Wrong, I want to make such a gesture in front of him. The more indifferent and alienation, the more curious it is. However, the alienation can't be too much. I will still grasp it well.
Thinking of this, Xia Mengning wiped both sides of her cheeks slightly with Juanpa and said with a smile, "Zhulian, in such weather, the makeup of my eldest sister and sister must be almost gone."
Zhulian smiled. The two were walking to the rain platform. From afar, they saw Xia Chuanyuan sitting there. Changsun Yun, dressed in white, stood in front. Xia Mengning approached several young beautiful women scattered around. Sure enough, she saw several people sweating with handkerchiefs.
Vulgarity! Xia Mengning thought, what kind of beauty has Changsun Yun never seen? She thought that she could attract attention with exquisite makeup?
With a happy body, Xia Mengning said softly, "I've seen my father, I've seen the prince."
The prefix of the three words Dingxi Wang was cleverly removed. Xia Meng Ning seemed to say it inadvertently, but Changsun Yun turned around at the first time and locked the person in front of him at a glance.
The prosperity is over, and everything becomes clouds and smoke, but she is like a stubborn lily, without gorgeous and tedious decoration, the most simple and simplest light color, although it is not monotonous, but also a little more elegant.
After saluteing, Xia Mengning turned to Xia Mengxi, who was sitting beside him, and said, "How are you, big sister?"
Xia Mengxi looked at her contemptuously, and then smiled and said, "I dare not accept the gift of my third sister."
Xia Mengning didn't care. She got up and acted as naturally as water. She sat quietly with Zhulian.
Xia Mengxi still didn't want to stop. When she came in, the son looked at her. Xia Mengxi was so angry that he broke his silver teeth. He finally eased his mood and said leisurely, "Why doesn't the third sister know that the son of the world is coming? It's really rude to let us and the son wait here for so long."
Xia Mengning stood up and bowed and said, "The eldest sister's words made Ning'er confused. Ning'er went to Jingming Temple early in the morning to pray for the blessing of the house. When she came back, she received a message from her father before she rested. She dared not to neglect it and hurried over. Did the eldest sister also received a message from her father? How could she be much earlier than her sister? I'm afraid that the slaves in my yard are not diligent, so I won't tell me these things at the first time.
After saying that, he seemed to look at Xia Chuanyuan doubtfully. His confused eyes were mocked, and the words were bead: "Dad, I just remembered that the eldest sister was not punished by you. Naturally, it was you who let the eldest sister come out. It was the daughter who misunderstood."
After saying that, Xia Mengxi and Xia Mengyou and Xia Mengran on the side looked embarrassed. Indeed, I heard from the people in the front yard that the prince came today and hurriedly, and I didn't receive a message from my father.
Xia Chuanyuan stared at Xia Mengxi unhappily, and then changed the topic to Changsun Yun with a smile and said, "I heard that the son of the world Danqing is the best in the North. Today, the old minister has a request, and I hope the prince will agree." Changsun Yun looked at him with a cynical smile. Xia Chuanyuan looked at him as if he was not unhappy, and immediately He said, "The old minister has four daughters under his knees. Although they are all the quality of Pu Liu, he has also asked Mr. Xi to teach him since he was a child. Why don't we paint together today and be evaluated by the son of the world?"
Changsun Yun could not understand the little thought in Xia Chuanyuan's heart, but he was really willing to have more contact with Xia Mengning in his heart, so he agreed with a smile.
This is to give her daughter a chance in disguise. Xia Mengning smiled in her heart. Is this the father who is not sure what the son is thinking, or has he seen it? He just wants to give his daughter a chance? Xia Mengxi and Xia Mengyou were eager to try, but Xia Mengran sat on the side peacefully. Xia Mengning looked at it quietly. Although she sat and tried to maintain the mood on her face, the pair of clenched hands betrayed her mind. Xia Mengran, who was usually old and naive, also had this clinging heart.
The servant quickly set up the table, the four treasures of the study and all kinds of paint. Xia Mengxi stood up and walked in front of him, and went to the front of the world. He tried to make himself look gentle and gentle, and wanted to erase the previous things.
"The son of the world is polite!"
Changsun Yun gently leaned over and walked to the side and said casually, "Today's weather is fine, and everything is revived in spring. Let's take this word "spring" as the theme."
Xia Chuanyuan saw Changsun Yun's movements and sighed in his heart. Although this Xier was born, he was arrogant and frivolous, and there was no capital to attract the prince at all.
Xia Mengxi didn't realize that he had him. He just walked to the table with enthusiasm and raised his pen to draw. Looking at Xia Mengxi's confident expression, Xia Chuanyuan remembered that the eldest daughter Danqing had been very good since she was a child, and even Mr. Xi praised him. At that moment, he was very comforted. Maybe a picture of this world will change his mind. Although he thought so, Xia Chuanyuan was not sure, so he turned to the remaining three daughters and said, "You can also draw a picture. If you can get the comment of the prince, ordinary people can't ask for it."
Xia Mengyou and Xia Mengran both stood up and walked to the table and began to draw. Xia Mengning stood up and saluted to Changsun Yun, "I'm sorry, the little girl's painting skills are really rough. I'm afraid she will neglect the prince."
Chang Sun Yun looked at the person in front of him, and his heart suddenly became soft. He walked over and whispered, "Miss San doesn't need to be polite. You can do it at will. Painting comes from the heart, and Miss San just care about it from the heart."
Xia Mengning bowed her head and said, "In this way, the little girl will be ugly."
He walked to the table on one side and gently rolled up his sleeves. Xia Meng Ning took the brush and dipped it in the paint. When he put the pen, the corners of his mouth hooked it. Everyone else thought that he could do anything. However, in his previous life, in order to welcome Chang Sun Mo, he studied pharmacology, practiced painting skills, practiced calligraphy, and even learned to dance and cook. He was already proficient in everything.
Soon, several people finished drawing. Xia Mengxi proudly asked the maid to take her painting to Changsun Yun and said shyly, "Son, how about Xi'er's painting?"
Changsun Yun sat on the top and stood up when he saw that he had finished painting. He walked to the table. Xia Mengxi had to follow him to the table and put down the painting. Everyone followed him to see that Xia Mengxi's paintings were full of spring scenery, butterflies, trees, flowers and plants, all of which showed the warm atmosphere of spring.
Changsun Yun nodded and said, "Miss, this painting is very good, but I don't like these messy colors mixed together. It's messy and out of focus."
Xia Mengxi clenched her lips and looked at Xia Chuanyuan unconvincedly. Xia Chuanyuan was puzzled. Xi's painting was obviously very good, but the son of the world...
Walking to Xia Mengyou, Changsun Yun shook his head. Xia Chuanyuan looked over and looked at it, but he also showed disappointment. He drew something similar to Xia Mengxi in the same way.
When he came to Xia Mengran, Changsun Yun paused for a moment and suddenly opened his eyebrows. Everyone gathered around and looked around. The painting was a green grass, and scattered small flowers were dotted on the grass, reflecting green, which was particularly pleasing to the eyes.
Xia Chuanyuan touched his beard and smiled. He looked at Changsun Yun, "What do you think?"
Chang Sun Yun smiled and said, "The painting skills are average, but the mind is very good." Xia Mengran lowered her head meekly and said, "Thank you for your advice."
Xia Mengxi clenched his palms and looked at the shy Xia Mengran, almost trying to crush that face.
It was Xia Mengning's turn. Changsun Yun walked over with expectation and bent the corners of his mouth in an instant. Everyone looked at it. The background was a small bridge. The water at the bottom of the bridge was sparkling, as if it was raining, but the point was that in the cracks of the stone by the bridge, a green and tender grass drilled from the stone peak. When it came out, the whole picture was all gray and white, only this small grass, green and bright, green and beautiful.
Changsun Yun picked up the painting, "The third lady is unique. She uses this spring rain to set off the drizzle, and everything revives. The grass in the stone cracks is the most beautiful scenery in spring."
Xia Meng smiled and said, "The little girl just likes things with vitality, just like this inconspicuous grass. With the power to climb up, she can get out to welcome the spring."
Xia Chuanyuan looked at the painting and nodded. Although the picture was simple, the scenery in the rain like splashing ink requires an excellent painting method. With this unique display, she completely won. It's just that when did this Ninger have such good painting skills? It seems that her talent and beauty are not inferior at all. The color is in the stream.
Xia Mengxi looked at Xia Mengning with hatred and said coldly, "Isn't it just a weed? It's also delusion to climb high branches. Weeds are weeds, and they can't become peonies for a lifetime!"
Changsun Yun was a little unhappy. Xia Chuanyuan immediately said, "What nonsense? Can you be presumptuous in front of the son? Why don't you get back?"
Xia Mengning listened and followed Fu Shi, "Dad, it's not early today. It's time for my daughter to drink medicine."
Xia Chuanyuan originally wanted to create another opportunity for his daughter. He looked at Changsun Yun and saw that he was not angry, so he waved his hand and said, "You go down and have a rest first."
Xia Mengning bowed and retreated, and the other ladies also retreated. When Xia Mengning walked to the bamboo garden with Zhulian's hand, she was stopped by Xia Mengyou and Xia Mengran, who were chasing from behind.
"Xia Mengning, stop!"
Xia Mengyou ran forward, put her hands on her waist, and asked loudly, "What kind of charming magic did you use? You fascinate the prince so much that you only look at you. It's really disgusting to know how to pickle like this at a young age."
