Daughter Raiders

Chapter 49 Mood
"I guess Dad doesn't know where Sister Tao learned these things from." Tao Ran quickly adjusted his mood, pretending to be naughty as a child should be, and cheated on her dad.

"If Daddy wants to know, why not teach Sister Tao how to draw cats later?" She talked about the conditions with Daddy again.

Everyone in the inner house knew that she had only studied painting for more than a year, and she was good at painting flowers and birds with fine brushwork. She knew very well in her heart that this was an exaggerated compliment, maybe it was because her father spoiled her and deliberately made her famous.

In fact, at the age of six, she can only draw simple flowers, such as orchids, chrysanthemums, and peony peonies, with a few butterflies and birds; such difficult compositions as cats flapping butterflies and fish playing with lotuses She is still very difficult to control. In her last life, she worked hard for seven or eight years before she could draw a kitten quite like it.

Dad is the real meticulous painting master!Tao Ran thought proudly.

"You girl!" Su Hao nodded his daughter's forehead both helplessly and dotingly: "Do you think you can learn to draw cats and butterflies because you secretly know a lot of colors? The step-by-step teaching that your father taught you is not harmful. You!"

This child has been walking around with his old mother a lot recently. It's rare that she is caring and never forgets to learn more things wherever she goes. It's too late for him to be happy.

But flowers are just still lifes. If you are talented, even if you copy them according to the pictures, you can still have some charm after practicing for a year or two. For living things like cats and fish, you have to choose the smart ones to keep by your side and observe them carefully for a while. Then write and practice, how can you draw the essence after a few years of work?

Tao Ran was actually just trying to divert his father's attention so that he wouldn't ask her where she got those colors. Now that he heard what his father said, he grinned silly and said, "Then I'll listen to my father and see you next year." To learn how to draw cats, this year I will first draw bluegrass for a year, okay?"

Su Hao nodded in satisfaction.

If this child really keeps his word, he can draw bluegrass honestly for a year, so what if he teaches her to draw cats next year?He said that to learn painting, you must draw the essence of charm. In fact, he is too demanding. Sister Tao is a girl. It is good to have a favorite thing to do. No matter how bad it is, I can draw two more pictures than others It's pretty, isn't it?

If Sister Tao is as versatile as her great aunt, every time she draws a flower, it can attract bees and butterflies, and every time she plays a piece of music, the lingering sound can linger... I am afraid that before he has time to cry, Tao will be with her great aunt It's the same... the fragrance is gone, he doesn't want it!

"Daddy ask Shutong to cut the paper for me, and tell them to find a pot of orchids to put on the long table. Sister Tao first draws a picture of orchids for Daddy to see." Tao Ran was happy seeing his father's unpredictable expression He pursed his lips, but after a while he felt a little frustrated and sad, and quickly jumped off the armchair to shake his arm.

Su Hao was dazzled by her, so he walked to the long book table with a smile, and called the book boy to cut the paper, but he grinded the ink himself, and when the ink was polished to a suitable thickness, he called Tao Ran Sitting in front of the desk, he instructed her to draw in a low voice.

The old man Su Shixiang left Lin Shoufu's mansion, and when he returned to his home, he saw such a scene: the large window in the study room was spacious and bright, and the sunlight shone in front of the window, giving the long writing desk in front of the window and the father and daughter The whole body was painted with a light layer of gold; the little girl with a pair of buns, knelt firmly on the armchair, pursed her lips slightly, and drew something on the paper very seriously.

Old Master Su smiled slightly, but felt a little sore in his heart.

I think Yuanzheng often came to his study back then, but when he came, he was as quiet as a little adult, never disturbing his work, just kneeling on the armchair to write and draw, and slipped down to the ground after an hour. After washing his hands, he left quietly.

"Grandfather is back." Tao Ran finished the last stroke, and was about to put the brush in his hand on the pen holder, when he raised his eyes and saw the tall figure of Old Master Su standing in the door of the study.

Su Hao quickly raised his head, seeing that his father had entered the door without a sound, and immediately walked forward to meet him; Tao Ran also got down from the chair, and followed his father to greet his grandfather.

"Daddy, let's talk with grandfather for a while. Sister Tao washed her hands. It's the same if I find any book boy to take me to the second gate." Seeing that the father and son hesitated to speak, Tao Ran hurriedly said.

Old Master Su nodded with a smile, then called his escort outside the door to take Tao Ran back to the backyard.When the figures of Tao Ran and Chang Sui faded away, he strolled to the side of the long desk, picked up the orchid sketch and looked at it carefully.

Su Hao laughed.Father has seen many famous masters, so why does he still look at Sister Tao as an appreciative thing?Looks like I'm in a good mood...

"This kid is quite talented." The old man didn't praise or berate him, he just said this, and then he put the painting back to dry, and walked towards the inner room with his steps. Seeing this, Su Hao hurriedly walked Keeping up, the father and son entered the inner room together.

"Why did you come back alone, where is your father?" The old lady asked Tao Ran with a smile when she saw that Tao Ran had entered the Xici room, but there was no figure of Su Hao behind her.

Tao Ran then told the old lady what his grandfather had just come back from outside: "...I'm afraid Daddy will have to break his promise again when he said that he would accompany you to have lunch. Grandmother can forcefully have Sister Tao accompany her to eat together."

The old lady had known for a long time that the old man was going to visit the doctor in Lin's mansion. Hearing Tao Ran's words, she hurriedly pulled her to her and asked her in a low voice, asking how the old man would look when he came back.

After hearing Tao Ran's words, the old man entered the study quietly, stood at the door of the study and watched her draw for a while without making a sound, and when she and her father went to salute, the old man's happiness and anger could not be seen. People are a little uncertain for a while.

The old lady is not the kind of person who can tell happiness and anger by looking at her face. In the few years she was married, she was very dissatisfied with her expressions of happiness and anger, and repeatedly taught her behind her back to tell her to be more serious; I also know that people have different personalities, so I no longer force it.

Now that decades have passed, she still hasn't become serious, but the old man is becoming more and more incomprehensible; so is Lin Shoufu's illness serious?
Lin Shoufu was almost the same as her natal elder brother, they were both important ministers left by the late emperor to the current Holy Majesty.But now that these old courtiers are getting old, and it’s time to beg for bones three times, if the Holy Majesty insists on keeping them, I’m afraid all of them will have to...be exhausted to death before they go home to live up to their old age.

"Sister Tao said that it is enough to ask a little book boy to take me back to the second gate, but my grandfather called his long-term follower and sent Sister Tao back to the backyard." Seeing that the old lady did not speak for a long time, Tao Ran knew that her grandmother was also there. Worried about Lin Shoufu's illness, he whispered to the old lady.

The old lady's eyes lit up immediately - after hearing this, it seems that the old man is in a good mood?That being the case, she was relieved.
