Chapter 60 Discussing Painting

When Liu Shuqing entered the room, he looked at Zhao Wangshu who was sitting on the couch with a cold face, "Sister Shu, I'm sorry."

Zhao Wangshu was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"I judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, and said those unpleasant words to test Sister Shu. I know I was wrong, but I wonder if Sister Shu can forgive me? Liu Shuqing asked sincerely.

"I forgive you." Zhao Wangshu said calmly, not bothering to argue with her too much.

Liu Shuqing didn’t seem to notice her perfunctory manner, and said happily: “Sister Shu, thank you.”

Liu Shuqing apologized, which cleared the matter up. They got along as usual, and on June 22, Liu Shuqing's thirteenth birthday, Zhao Wangshu gave her a birthday gift.

The birthday gift was a thin silver necklace with carved jade balls as the pendant. She asked Yage to make twelve of them.

When her other sisters have birthdays, she plans to give one to each of them, giving them the same birthday gift. This is not because she is lazy, but to prevent those petty people from complaining that she favors one over another.

Although there is a difference between closeness and distance, on the surface, a bowl of water should be treated equally, which will reduce a lot of troubles.

It was just a birthday celebration for a girl who was staying at a relative’s house, so she could simply ignore it, but Mrs. Zhao asked Mrs. Zhao to set up a few tables for her, and also asked the girls to invite friends to attend the birthday party. feast.

"Sister Shu, what do you think the old lady thinks? My cousin is a relative of my mother's side of the family and has nothing to do with the Zhao family. She doesn't think she is hosting a birthday party for my cousin. Is it too far-fetched?" Zhao Jiahua complained.

Zhao Wangshu picked up the pot and poured her a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "It's just an excuse. Sister Jia and the others were all born in April, so they missed the opportunity."

"That's right. Your birthday is in August and mine is in September. She can't wait." Zhao Jiahua took a sip from the cup and said, "It's Buddhist tea from Zifu Temple. You haven't finished it yet."

“I brought it back, but I haven’t drunk it yet.” Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

“Who are you going to invite?” Zhao Jiahua asked.

"No one is invited. You know, I don't know many people, how about you?" Zhao Wangshu's best friend is Yao Shanzhi, but Yao Shanzhi's status is not suitable for coming here.

Zhao Jiahua curled his lips and said: "If it weren't for the purpose of supporting my cousin, I wouldn't have invited anyone here, as the old lady wanted."

"Since I decided to invite, Just don't be so angry." Zhao Wangshu comforted her.

On June 4th, in addition to the girls, Mrs. Zhao also invited Jiang Lihong. It seemed that even ZhaoHe failed to pass the examination as a scholar, but the Jiang family was still willing to marry the Zhao family.

Not only Zhao Wangshu didn’t invite anyone, but Zhao Yujia, Zhao Yufang, Zhao Shuhui, Zhao Yuxiu, and Zhao Yuying didn’t invite anyone. Zhao Shuangzhi invited her cousins, and Zhao Yuzhen invited the two girls from the second room of the Qian family.

Zhao Jiahua invited five friends, all the daughters of her father’s classmates, girls from poor scholar families who had repeatedly failed in exams.

Seeing a group of such guests, Mrs. Zhao’s smile was quite forced, not even close to her eyes.

The girls who came as guests all prepared birthday gifts for Liu Shuqing, and the fourth girl Qian Rumiao also brought a painting, "My eldest brother asked me to bring this to Sister Yuzhen."

Zhao Yuzhen took it, bowed her head and said: "Four girls, please thank the prince for me."

Qian Ru said with a smile: "Sister Yuzhen doesn't have to be so outspoken. ."

"Sister Zhen, unfold the painting and let us have a look, so we can learn a lot." Zhao Shuangzhi said deliberately.

Zhao Yuzhen glanced at her and smiled faintly, "Okay, let's unfold it and take a look."

He unfolded the painting on the long table, and there was a picture on it. A plump beauty in Tang suit, she is wearing a gauze, holding a round fan, and her features are picturesque.

The painting is exquisite and vividly displays the charm of the beauty.

Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows, the playboy Qian Suan still has this ability?

"This painting is really lifelike, and the prince's painting skills are really extraordinary." Zhao Shuqing admired sincerely.

Qian Rusui, the fifth girl of the Qian family, said proudly: "My eldest brother has studied under famous teachers for many years, so his painting skills are naturally extraordinary."

"Sister Yuzhen, what do you think? How's the painting?" Qian Ru asked with a smile.

Zhao Yuzhen smiled and said: "The painting is very good. The prince's painting skills are really admirable."

Looking at this painting, she felt disgusted with Qian Suan. The feeling is slightly reduced, this man finally has something he can do.

"As long as Sister Yuzhen likes it." Qian Ru nodded with satisfaction.

Jiang Lihong smiled and said: "This is probably an imitation of "Lady with Hairpin Flowers", the painting is quite similar."

Qian Ru smiled and praised: "Jiang The girl has good eyesight."

"Although I have never seen the original painting, I have a replica at home. The woman in this painting moves like a lady holding a fan, and the clothes are the same as a lady holding flowers, so I just looked at it. It's out." Jiang Lihong smiled.

"Sister Jiang is so smart. Even if I see the original work, I don't have such eyesight." Zhao Shuangzhi did not hesitate to depreciate himself in order to praise Jiang Lihong.

“Sister Shuangzhi is too self-effacing.. "Jiang Lihong said with a smile.

Fang Baozhu's hand gently brushed the painting, "This painting is really good. "

Everyone praised the painting. Zhao Shuqing found that from beginning to end, Zhao Wangshu, Zhao Jiahua and Liu Shuqing did not make a sound. Their eyes flashed, "Sister Shu. "

Zhao Wangshu looked at her with cold eyes. Zhao Shuqing felt chilled inexplicably and hurriedly looked away and looked at Zhao Jiahua, "Sister Hua. "

"What to do? "Zhao Jiahua asked coldly.

"What do you think of this painting? "Zhao Shuqing asked.

"The painting is very good. Although there is a mistake in the imitation, the flaws cannot hide the beauty. "Zhao Jiahua smiled slightly, "I think cousin and sister Shu have already noticed it. "

"Where did the imitation go wrong? Qian Rusui looked at the painting and said, "Miss Zhao, don't talk nonsense." "

"Forgive my blindness, could you please Miss Zhao point out where I went wrong? "Qian Rushu, who is older and more stable, asked politely.

Zhao Jiahua pointed to the hands of the lady in the painting, "In "Lady with Hairpins", the artist painted the hands of the lady with knots. The third finger is slightly longer and looks strong. The protruding flesh of the finger is outlined. In this painting, the hand is too thin. "

When everyone took a closer look, it was true. Jiang Lihong smiled and said: "Sister Hua is really observant and can even find such details. "

Qian Ru leaned over and said, "Thank you, Miss Zhao, for pointing it out. ”

“As long as Miss Qian doesn’t mind me being picky. "Zhao Jiahua said with a slight smile.

Zhao Shuqing bit her lower lip lightly, her heart full of annoyance. She didn't expect that Zhao Jiahua could see such a subtle thing. She was in the limelight. If she had known it, she wouldn't have asked. Now.

The girls had lunch at Zhao’s house, and when they were about to go back, they met the Zhao brothers who had returned from the academy at the door.

Jiang Lihong looked at her majestic appearance Zhao He pursed his lips and smiled shyly.

Zhao He politely saluted her and said: "Xiao Sheng has met Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang is good. "

Jiang Lihong returned the gift and said softly: "Hello, Mr. Zhao. "

In full view of the public, the two could not talk about love. Zhao Shuangzhi suggested: "Brother, why don't you send Sister Jiang back." "

Jiang Lihong said: "I won't trouble Mr. Zhao anymore. "But he looked at Zhao He with expectation.

Zhao He stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Jiang, please. "

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao. "Jiang Lihong got on the carriage.

A clever boy had already brought the horse. Zhao He got on the horse and escorted Jiang Lihong back to Jiang's house.
