into the bosom

Chapter 191
"It was rare that he didn't quarrel with me that day. He turned around and left. I thought he was angry at that time. How could I know that he secretly drew this painting after he went back, or he didn't show it to me until after we got married? " Mrs. Zhao had a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes became soft and watery due to the memory.

Earlier Xu Jiao was a little worried about whether it would irritate her again, but recently she often recalled the past, but she never fell ill again, so Xu Jiao gradually let go of her heart.

Listening to her talk about the past with cheap father, Xu Jiao's eyes fell on the portrait of the character.At the princess's place, she saw several paintings of cheap father, plus the blue and green landscape painting in Jingshangshu's study room, she was already aware of cheap father's painting skills. He is good at landscapes, and his compositions are majestic and magnificent. , enough to see the gully in the chest.The fine brushwork flowers and birds are mostly early works. Although they are all excellent works, they are not comparable to the later works in terms of layout.

This is the first time Xu Jiao has seen a picture of his characters. To be honest, the technique and composition in that painting are simpler and rougher than those cheap daddy paintings that Xu Jiao has seen before, but that painting The Venerable Master's charm is vivid on the paper, every frown and smile seems to come out of the drawing paper.

Mrs. Zhao was a beauty when she was young, and she must be a beauty.Even if it is not, it is unique in Daddy's writing, a peerless beauty born out of nowhere, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.The emotion contained in each stroke of this painting is definitely not found in those fine brushwork flowers and birds and landscape paintings. The victory of this painting lies in emotion and intention, not technique.

"After that, every year on my birthday, he will draw a painting for me. When you are born, this painting will become our mother and daughter, or our family of three." Mrs. Zhao said, slowly drawing The painting scroll in her hand was rolled up, and she put it into a box that was opened at the side. There were many other scrolls in that box. Madam Zhao put down this scroll and was going to get another scroll.

Xu Jiao was distracted for a while, but now he suddenly listened to Mrs. Zhao's words just now, her heart beat slightly, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Mrs. Zhao's movements, and hurriedly said, "Mother!"

Mrs. Zhao was startled by her sudden shout, and raised her eyes to look at her, "What's wrong?"

Xu Jiao quickly broke into a smile and said, "Can I take these paintings back and take a good look at them first?"

Mrs. Zhao frowned suspiciously, "Haven't you seen these paintings?"

Xu Jiao's heart skipped a beat, and he still smiled and said, "Of course I have seen it before. But am I learning painting? So I want to take it back and have a good look at it. Naturally, it is different from the previous rough look. Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of my father's paintings, after reading them, I will dry them and pack them up, and then send them back intact, okay?"

Mrs. Zhao laughed, "What's the matter, your father's paintings, you can look at them however you want."

Xu Jiao was still smiling, but she said in her heart, you didn't say that before.

"Okay, Qin Niang, there's no need to take them out. Since Ajiao wants to see these scrolls, let's carry them to Mingyue Residence intact. She is in charge of drying and tidying them up, so we can save trouble here."

Inside the study room, the lights were bright, and there were paintings hanging on the walls, one next to the other.When He Lianshu pushed the door and entered, he saw Xu Jiao standing in the middle of the study with a lamp in his hand, looking at the paintings with such concentration that he didn't even notice the movement of him entering the door.

"It's so late and you don't go to bed, but you are here to look at the paintings, you are quite elegant!"

A faint cold voice slid past his ears, Xu Jiao was startled suddenly, turned his head, looked at He Lianshu who was standing behind him, dressed in black, grinned, and there was a trace of joy in his black and white eyes, "You Why are you here?"

A shadow flashed across He Lianshu's eyes very quickly, and he still said in a calm tone, "I heard that you came back from Tangquan Mountain, so I came to see you. I heard that the princess has gained a lot of love today, and I'm afraid I will forget to eat and sleep I have been locked in the study all night. I finally came here, but I can't wait for the whole night, so I didn't invite myself, and I ask the princess to forgive me."

He spoke plainly, Xu Jiao lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, but looked at him with a brighter smile, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

In that smile, she seemed to see through something.

He Lianshu frowned, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, intending to refute, but when the words reached his mouth, he choked up again, his eyes struggled with emotion, and after a while, when he spoke again, his voice was inexplicably hoarse , "I only heard about the matter in Zhuangzi later. Jing Qin treated you very well."

It's rare for him to say nice things about Jing Qin, although one can tell how unwilling he is in his heart by looking at the constipated expression.Xu Jiao's throat felt itchy, but he couldn't hold back, and laughed twice.

When He Lianshu narrowed her eyes and looked at her, she stopped smiling and said softly, "I am very grateful to him, but... he is my elder brother."

When she said this, a pair of black and white eyes seemed to be falling into the stars, shining brightly, but there was something more mysterious behind the light that made people want to explore involuntarily.

He Lianshu was a little uncomfortable because of the smile in those eyes that seemed to see through everything, coughed twice, and avoided her sight.

Xu Jiao looked at his red ears, lowered his head, and the arc of the smile on the corner of his mouth widened involuntarily.

Naturally, He Lianshu saw her sniggering, and felt his ears became hotter. He raised his head and looked at the paintings in the room, and said, "You were so focused just now, because you were looking at these paintings. ? The person in this painting is..."

After a closer look, I found that the first few paintings were all of the same woman, from a young girl to a young woman, until she was pregnant with Liujia, with a slightly raised belly, and the charm was drawn vividly.But until the child was born, those paintings lost the freehand style, only a silhouette or a back view was drawn, and the facial features could not be seen clearly, either a mother and daughter, or a family of three.As the girl grows up, stop when the girl becomes a little girl.

"This is a painting by Mr. Jiuyi. I think the fineness of this ink should be finished in about one or two months, but Mr. Jiuyi has been painting for more than ten years, and even the date of signing is a year." Go down. You said... what was Mr. Jiuyi thinking when he was painting these paintings?"

"It is said that he is willing to die, does he really have no reconciliation in his heart? He paints these, so he doesn't want it to be true?" Xu Jiao asked softly while looking back at those paintings.

"Naturally, it is impossible not to be unwilling. If it is possible, who would not want to be with the one he loves until the end of his life, and would not personally accompany his children to grow up?" He Lianshu replied softly in a hoarse voice.

Xu Jiao's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly turned to look at him.

At some point, he also walked to her side, stood side by side with her, and looked up at the paintings together.

I don't know if it's because of the faintness of the candlelight, but tonight he seems to have restrained his sharp edges and corners, much softer than ever before.

But, it's still just as good-looking.

Xu Jiao looked at him, lost his eyes again.

Until he turned his head to look at her, her peeping was caught right away, but she was used to being thick-skinned, so she wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she held her lips and gave him a sweet smile.
