Chapter 579 Qi Mansion
Du Jinning smiled and said, "Whether I'm here or not, I have to come here. It's his old man's business whether he's at home or not, and it's my business whether he comes or not. Courtesy cannot be waived."

"That's true." Qi Muyuan nodded, "Anyway, our family is happy that you can come. My grandfather was still talking about you last night. My father, mother, and brother all want to see you."

Du Jinning's footsteps faltered for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I'm coming, so naturally I have to greet my uncle and aunt."

The house of the Qi family is larger than that of the Guan family. It is built in the same style as the Qi houses in Fucheng and Lishui County. It is full of trees and flowers, making people feel vibrant, elegant and quiet at first sight.This is probably related to the small population of the Qi family and the need to build so many houses.

Qi Muyuan led her to visit the Qi mansion, and at the same time ordered his servants to report to his father Qi Wencong.When Du Jinning followed him around the outer courtyard of the Qi Mansion and went to the hall, there was already a middle-aged man and a little boy sitting in the hall.

Qi Wencong has a handsome appearance and a refined temperament. At first glance, he looks like a scholar who has read poetry and books, and he can't tell that he is a person who deals with the farmland.

"Junior Du Jinning, please greet Uncle Qi." Du Jinning gave a deep salute when he entered.

"Get up, get up." Qi Wencong stood up and helped Du Jinning with his own hands, looked at her and said, "I often hear my father mention it, and there are endless praises in my ears. I have long wanted to see you. Looking at it now, it is really extraordinary. "

"Uncle's words made the boy ashamed."

Qi Wencong greeted her a few words, then waved back.

When the youngest son approached, he said, "Mu Lin, didn't you keep saying that you wanted to see brother Jinning? Why don't you salute brother?"

Qi Mulin is now nine years old, and his body is a bit thin, not as strong as ordinary children, but his appearance is five or six points similar to Qi Muyuan.

He spoke in a soft voice and behaved politely: "Mu Lin salutes brother Jin Ning."

Seeing that both Qi Wencong and Qi Mulin were as easy to get along with as in the similarity, Du Jinning couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief—she didn't know why she was nervous.

When Qi Wencong met her just now, he gave her a meeting gift, and Du Jinning also prepared a gift for Qi Mulin.

She took a calligraphy and painting scroll from Yao Shuqi, and handed it to Qi Mulin: "I heard from your brother that you like painting, and I don't know what to give you, so I will give you a painting I drew myself."

"Really?" Qi Mulin's eyes lit up, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

He had seen Du Jinning's paintings before. When his grandfather came back from Guangxi Province, he brought back two paintings.Yesterday when the elder brother was sorting out the salute, he saw a few more pictures.

Qi Muyuan loves Du Jinning's paintings very much. He doesn't want any presents for his birthday every year, but only a painting drawn by Du Jinning himself.Therefore, he has a lot of Du Jinning's paintings in his hand these years.

Du Jinning's paintings are mixed with Western perspective, and are very unique in the treatment of light and shadow. The paintings are more three-dimensional and have her strong personal style.This made Xiao Mulin greatly admire and love him, and he also envied his brother for having so many Du Jinning's paintings.

At this time, Du Jinning wanted to give him a painting of his own, so why didn't this surprise Qi Mulin?

"Thank you brother Jinning." Holding the painting in his hand, he bowed respectfully to Du Jinning.

After Du Jinning helped him up, he asked again: "Brother Jinning, can I learn painting from you?"

"Naturally." Du Jinning smiled, "Your brother and I are brothers and sisters, you are my own brother. In the future, as long as you want, you can often go to me, and I will do my best to teach you everything."

"Thank you brother Jinning." Qi Mulin blushed with excitement.

"One less word, just call Jinning brother." Du Jinning always felt a little goosebumps when he heard the words "Jinning brother", which reminded her of the heroines or female partners in Xiaoyan. the sound of.

As soon as she finished speaking, a servant came in hastily and said: "Master, Young Master Biao and Miss Biao are here."

Before he could finish speaking, two young men and a young girl came in, saluted Qi Wencong, "Uncle." They also called Qi Muyuan and Qi Mulin, "Brother Yuan, Brother Lin."

The girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a red dress, with bright features and a youthful air.

She saluted her elder brother Qi Wencong, then looked at Qi Muyuan, her eyes rolled, and her voice was indescribably charming: "Brother Muyuan."

"Hiss..." Du Jinning suddenly felt goosebumps all over his arms.

Seeing the two nephews looking at Du Jinning, Qi Wencong quickly introduced, "This is Du Jinning, Mu Yuan's good friend in Guangxi Province."

He pointed to several people and said to Du Jinning: "Jinning, this is Mu Yuan's eldest cousin Su Jun, this is his second cousin Su Feng, and this is his cousin Su Xiu."

Everyone salutes each other.

"You are Du Jinning. I have heard my cousin mentioning you a lot in the past two days." Su Jun was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he looked at Du Jinning with curiosity, but no malice.

But Su Feng was different.He looked Jin Ning up and down with a cold expression and some disdain in his eyes.

And Su Xiu hastily bowed to Du Jinning, then turned to ask Qi Muyuan: "Brother Muyuan, why don't you come to my house today? My mother has always remembered you at home."
