Daughter of aristocratic family

After Zhao Shuqing officially became the adopted daughter of Princess Duan Chengcheng, she moved from the Zhao family's mansion to the princess' mansion the next day.

Her yard is between the Song siblings and is closer to Song Huai's yard.

Princess Duan grew up treating her very well, as if she was not an adopted daughter but her biological daughter.

Although Song Yuanqu didn't want to see her, her good upbringing prevented her from doing anything rude.

On this day, Song Yuanqu was about to go out, and Zhao Shuqing stopped her, "Sister Xiaoqu, mother asked me to accompany you to the banquet."

"Do you know where I'm going?" Song Yuanqu asked.

Zhao Shuqing shook his head, "No matter where Sister Xiaoqu goes, I will accompany you."

"I'm going to Wangshu's house, will you follow me?" Song Yuanqu's lips curled up slightly and he asked with a sneer.

Zhao Shuqing's face changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal, "What's wrong with Wangshu's family? Why can't I go?"

"Why ask knowingly?" Song Yuanqu walked past her, "Don't follow me, I don't want you to disturb our fun."

Zhao Shuqing bit her lower lip and watched Song Yuanqu walk away, then twisted her waist and went to complain to Princess Duan Changcheng.

Song Yuanqu didn't care what Zhao Shuqing did at all. She happily went to Zhao's house. When she saw Zhao Yin greeting her at the door, Song Yuanqu's lips raised, and the smile and tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed, "Mr. Zhao."

"Miss Song." Zhao Yin smiled gently.

"Plum candy, it's delicious. Thank you Mr. Zhao." Song Yuanqu said softly.

Zhao Yin smiled and said: "My sister likes to eat it, so I bought it for my sister."

"I like to eat it too, can you give me one?" Song Yuanqu wanted to ask him if he was willing to buy it for her too, but she was embarrassed to ask so directly.

Zhao Yin pinched his purse and said, "I don't have any with me. Do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you later."

"Thank you Mr. Zhao." Song Yuanqu was filled with joy.

Zhao Cui and Zhao Wangshu, who were hiding aside, were very happy to see the two of them getting along so harmoniously. Zhao Cui said in Zhao Wangshu's ear: "My great-grandson is just around the corner."

"I'm just afraid that Princess Duan Chengcheng won't agree." Zhao Wangshu was actually worried that after Song Yuanqu and Zhao Yin fell in love, Princess Duan Chengcheng would come to beat the couple.

But Song Yuanqu had an innocent heart, and she really couldn't bear to refuse. Besides, if she didn't go through nine or eighty-one difficulties in getting a wife, how could she cherish her? It was good to let her elder brother suffer a little.

Unfortunately, Xu Danyang and Hao Bai came, and the interaction between Zhao Yin and Song Yuanqu ended.

Zhao Wangshu pretended to have just come out of the backyard and greeted him, "Xiaoqu, Sister Xu, Cousin Bai, you are here."

"Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?" Zhao Yin asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Zhao Wangshu smiled. She was just using this excuse to give Zhao Yin a chance to greet Song Yuanqu alone.

Zhao Wangshu sent Xu Danyang and Song Yuanqu to the garden hall, and she turned back, waiting to pick up Yao Shanzhi.

But she didn't expect Yao Zhen to come together, "Miss Zhao, long time no see."

"It's been a long time. Mr. Yao has become more and more majestic." As soon as Zhao Wangshu finished speaking, he saw Yun Hao walking in.

His face darkened slightly. Hey, Jealousy. Are you jealous?

She was just being polite!

Zhao Yin accompanied Yao Zhen to the small living room. Yao Shanzhi refused to go in first and insisted on accompanying Zhao Wangshu and waiting for Qin Youzi to arrive.

After a while Qin Youzi also came, and it was her second brother Qin Nan who sent her there.

Another thing Zhao Wangshu didn't expect was that Qin Nan actually met her eldest brother, "Chang Ming, long time no see."

"Chaoping, when did you come back?" Zhao Yin asked with a smile.

"I just came back yesterday. I was planning to get together with you and Nanjian. I heard my little sister said she wanted to be a guest at your house, so I came over." Qin Nan said with a smile. "Nanjian will get married the day after tomorrow." Zhao Yin said with a smile.

"Oh, then I came back in time." Qin Nan has been traveling for more than half a year.

When everyone arrived, the men and women left separately. Zhao Wangshu took Yao Shanzhi and Qin Youzi to the flower garden hall. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Xu Danyang playing chess with Song Yuanqu.

After the two of them finished playing chess, Qin Youzi said directly: "Xiaoqu, I thought you would bring your county head here."

Song Yuanqu smiled lightly and said, "I won't bring her here, and she doesn't dare to come either."

"Stop talking about her, Yue'er took out the paintings you found and let us taste them." Yao Shanzhi said with a smile.

Zhao Wangshu nodded and asked the maid to take out the painting and slowly spread it out on the long table.

In the painting, there are vast expanse of smoke on the river, with boats passing by; the mountains and flowers on the shore are blooming, and the palaces are majestic.

It is quite similar to the artistic conception sung in Tang poems, "The rivers and mountains are beautiful late in the day, and the spring breeze is fragrant with flowers and grass."

The painting's brushwork is meticulous and steady, the design is vivid and bold, and the composition and color are extremely exquisite, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland.

"This painting is truly wonderful!" Qin Youzi exclaimed.

Yao Shanzhi praised: "It's really a good painting. The painting technique is really wonderful. Every stroke is so delicate. It's really amazing."

Qu from the Song and Yuan Dynasties had a unique vision and asked, "Is this painting by Li Sixun, a painter from the Tang Dynasty?" Qin Youzi exclaimed, "Xiao Qu, how do you know about it?"

Song Yuanqu smiled lightly and said: "I have seen a copy of this painting in my father's study, so I recognize it."

"Is this a copy or an authentic work?" Xu Danyang asked curiously.

Song Yuanqu frowned and said: "Looking at the paper, the ink color and the brushstrokes in the painting, it should be an original, but it lacks the unique agility of Li Sixun's paintings. I can't tell whether it is an original or a copy."

Qin Youzi praised: "Whether it is an original or a copy, the scenery in this painting is so beautiful. It is really refreshing to see it."

Yao Shanzhi said: "This painting really makes people feel happy when looking at it, and the scenery and characters in this painting are so lifelike, as if they are right in front of our eyes."

Song and Yuan Qu also said: "The painting is exquisite and the colors are elegant. Even if it is a copy, it is still a good painting."

Zhao Wangshu was very happy when she heard everyone's praise for the painting. She didn't care whether it was an original or a copy.

"Sister Shu, where did you get this painting?" Xu Danyang asked curiously.

Zhao Wangshu said casually: "I found it at an antique stall."

Xu Danyang asked again: "Where is the antique stall?"

"Just over there at the Drum Tower." Zhao Wangshu replied.

"What other good things are there at the antique stall?" Yao Shanzhi asked.

Zhao Wangshu thought for a while and said, "I fell in love with this painting when I went there that day. After so many days, I don't know if the stall owner has found something good again."

"Why don't you go shopping at the antique stall tomorrow?" Xu Danyang suggested.

Others also have this interest, so we made an appointment to meet at the Drum Tower tomorrow morning.

After admiring the paintings for a while, the few of them started to play the game of finding fine paintings.

After the game hall closed, Zhao Wangshu wanted to open a similar store. Looking for a craftsman is like looking for an undercover agent in modern times.

After Zhao Wangshu briefly explained the rules of the game, everyone drew cards and showed them to Lu Zhi, who was the referee, and then began to describe the objects they had drawn.

Note: While writing this, my interest in playing Werewolf was aroused. I went to play a few games. I almost got mad at my pig teammates and came back with gritted teeth to continue coding.
