[Qing Chuan] Qing Chuan Wu Shi

Wu Ning lowered her eyes and said: "Yes." She lowered her head, and her eyes fell on the table case. The purple and gold amphora was quietly placed on the table case. There was a powder incense box next to it, the lid was half opened, and you could vaguely see it. A small line of light-colored face powder, and a small silver spoon.The ink of the landscape painting on the eight-line paper is especially not dry, and the inscription by the fourth elder brother is strong through the back of the paper. The landscape is soft and elegant, and the font is masculine. It is suitable for calligraphy and painting.

After a long while, Wu Ning secretly raised his eyes to glance at the fourth elder brother, but saw that the fourth elder brother was still staring at him firmly, the seriousness on his face gradually faded, replaced by a slight smile in his eyes, Wu Ning was looked at by him. His face turned red, and he reached out to touch his own face and said, "What's the matter?".

The fourth elder brother did not answer, stretched out his hand to hold Wu Ning, and said in a low voice: "Have you read the things I asked them to send?".

Wu Ning's heart skipped a beat, she felt all the blood rushing to her cheeks, she blushed and said in a low voice: "Look.".

The fourth elder brother approached a little closer, stretched out his hand to support her waist, but didn't use much force, it was a very ambiguous gesture, seeing Wu Ning lowered his head, he also lowered his head against Wu Ning's forehead, and said with a smile: "Does it look good? ".

Wu Ning only felt that when the fourth elder brother spoke, a warm air flowed past her ears, making it feel numb, and the air flow seemed to reach the tip of her heart. Without waiting for her answer, he still maintained such an intimate posture, looked into the depths of her eyes, and said in a low voice: "My Ning'er must look good in clothes.".

The sandalwood in the incense burner released a wisp of blue smoke, which spiraled upwards, and when it reached the roof, it turned into a few wisps of breeze, floating the light-colored bed curtain hanging aside.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the fourth elder brother got up. He has been used to getting up at this time according to the rules over the years, standing in the room with a radiant look.With two big panda eyes, Wu Ning struggled to get up to serve, but the fourth elder brother pushed him back to the bed, saying that only the maids should serve.

Wu Ning was happy to be at ease, and got into the quilt again in a daze. The fourth elder brother saw her huddled in the quilt. He was also a young man, and he was used to being cold outside, so he suddenly played a prank in front of Wu Ning. Thinking, when he wanted to lift the quilt in the past, Wu Ning screamed, raised his hand to tightly cover the quilt, and the fourth elder brother laughed.Wu Ning was sweating all over his face amidst his laughter, and at last he spoke in a weak voice: "Master, I'm afraid of the cold.".

The fourth elder brother was stunned, and asked doubtfully, "Is the weather... very cold?" He was exposed to heat in the palace when he was young, so he was particularly afraid of heat.Naturally, Wu Ning didn't know this level, turned over aggrieved, and muttered again: "There is no weather forecast here, I don't know how many degrees it is in the morning.".

The fourth elder brother went out of the house thoughtfully, stood in the hall, his body was straight, and several court ladies surrounded him to rinse his mouth and wash his face. A little eunuch came over to pick up Fourth Master.

After rinsing his mouth, the fourth elder brother took the hot handkerchief handed over, wiped his lips casually, and said, "Su Peisheng!".

Su Peisheng quickly stepped forward and said: "The servant is here!".

"The Western thing that came to the mansion last time, it can know hot and cold, what is it called?" The fourth elder brother raised his hand and gestured, making an up and down movement.

Su Peisheng turned his head to one side, thought for a while, and suddenly realized that he took a step closer and said, "Is that what you mean by 'passing the weather meter'?".

The fourth elder brother raised his left hand to smooth out a wrinkle on the cuff on the right, nodded without raising his eyelids and said, "It's hard to remember the names of foreigner's strange things, how many are there?".

Su Peisheng thought for a while, bowed his waist carefully and said: "There are three in the mansion, one here, one at Fujin, and one in the warehouse.".

He speculated on the expression of the fourth elder brother, and said in his heart: Wu Gege is still amazing!Recently, with a change of temper, fourth master has been running here more and more frequently. If this trend continues, why ask?By the end of next year, it is estimated that there will be another little elder brother or little princess in the family!

But this is also the case with Wu Gege, since the current situation will happen, why should he keep a cold face all day when he first entered the mansion?

It's really puzzling to reject fourth master thousands of miles away!

Of the masters in this mansion, which one didn't try their best to get a little favor from the fourth master and get a little rain and dew?

Su Peisheng shook his head in his heart.The masters' minds, the slaves can't speculate arbitrarily, and have to speculate secretly.

It's better to plan ahead in everything.

The fourth elder brother paused, thought for a while and said: "It's not a big deal, but it's very tight. Later, you send someone to the warehouse, find it for your master Wu, and let her put it in the house .”

Su Peisheng repeatedly agreed, and the fourth elder brother spoke again: "In addition, let someone use ivory carvings to make some sachets. Both sides are covered, the ground is pasted with gauze, and the middle is filled with incense. There is no need to make silk hanging on the side of the sachet. The bottom should be bell-shaped, the top should be in the shape of a treasure cover, and the middle should be a series of rings, both of which can win. I will also send it to you, Master Wu."

Su Peisheng was taken aback by this long speech, thanks to his excellent memory, his brain turned quickly, he nodded immediately and said: "Slave will do it now, don't worry." He repeated the request for the sachet just now in his heart again.

The fourth elder brother raised his feet to leave, but when he heard Su Peisheng's last words, "Don't worry.", he glanced at Su Peisheng with a half-smile, and Su Peisheng was also looking up at him.The fourth elder brother strode out.Su Peisheng hurriedly followed, muttering in his heart: Sachet!Sachet?This autumn and winter season, it looks like it's freezing cold, what kind of whim is this for fourth master?

Su Peisheng directly called the young eunuch Xiao Xizi to handle the matter of "clearing the weather watch".

Xiao Xizi knew that this was not a good job, and she couldn't shirk it, so she could only bite the bullet and ran to the main courtyard.Fujin was standing in front of the desk and drawing a picture, when he heard Xiaoxizi come in, he thought it was the fourth master, so he hurriedly put down his pen to greet him.Xiao Xizi talked to Fujin with a smile on his face, Fujin's face darkened, he didn't say anything, and let the nanny take Xiao Xizi to open the warehouse.

The warehouse has just been cleaned up once, and there are still some rare things scattered on the ground in a disorderly manner, and the brocade boxes of scrolls are all over the floor, Xiao Xizi didn't dare to look at it, and followed the mother into the east room with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye.

There are no windows in this room, and the lighting depends entirely on lamps. There is a big cypress wood container in the southwest corner full of Western things. When Mammy opened the container, Xiao Xizi saw a caravan on the top floor of the container. A small red brocade box, the middle of the box is slightly arched, the satin surface is very delicate, the ivory buttons are tightly biting the seam, the whole box is about the length of an arm, the nun is fat, not tall, with more than enough horizontal and vertical insufficient.The small box was placed high again, she stood on tiptoe, and was struggling, Xiao Xizi hurriedly said: "There is dust here, don't get your clothes on, mama, let Xiao Xizi come." She rolled up her cuffs, that's enough The little box came down, smiled and said to Mammy, "Thank you for your kindness!".

The two left the warehouse, and went back to Fujin main courtyard along the same road. Xiaoxizi reported to Fujin in a proper manner, and then they left. Seeing Xiaoxizi leaving with the "Tongtian watch", the mother Standing behind Fujin, he didn't seem to have much emotion on his face, and the moment he opened his mouth, he leaked the meaning of panic: "Fujin...".

Fujin slightly raised his hand and said: "Let me finish the painting." As he spoke, he picked up his pen and wanted to draw, but the nanny couldn't help it anymore, and stepped forward and said: "Forgive me for saying something heart-to-heart, the slave is looking at Fujin When I grow up, I know that Fujin is not a person who loves to fight with others, but... ".

The corners of Fujin's mouth turned up slightly, his eyes shifted, he looked at the nanny, and said calmly for a long while: "It's just a weather watch, why are all the plants and trees are soldiers?".

When she said this, she glanced coldly at all the servants in the room. Although she was young, she had an aura in her gestures, and when she saw them, everyone couldn't help but bow their heads.There was a moment of silence in the room.

Mammy wanted to say something, but Fujin had already bent over and waved his brush.

On the table is a picture of a lady, ink and color on silk, with water patterns and lotus leaves in the picture. The lotus painting is so vivid that it seems that the fragrance of lotus can be smelled through the painting paper. Two boats are sailing in the lotus. In Ye Jian, there are several ladies in costumes on board, the first one is a woman in blue and white skirt with slender hands, standing on the bow of the boat with a penny on her shoulders, while the others are sitting talking and laughing happily.

A young woman with a delicate face stretched out her hand to reach a lotus in the lotus leaf with great difficulty. Beside her was another woman in red with an elegant face and a calm attitude, looking sideways at the lotus leaf. In the distant sky, a round of red sun is erupting from the mountains.

This painting of Fujin is a copy of the painting of ladies by Jiao Bingzhen, a painter enshrined in the inner court.Jiao Bingzhen often accompanied Western priests, was familiar with Western painting techniques, and was good at portraiture. All of his portraits were painted with Western dyeing methods.

The so-called "baking and dyeing" means that it is directly rendered and rubbed without using ink bones.Because the fourth elder brother praised the advantages of Western painting techniques, Fujin secretly remembered it in his heart.

The palace maid Shuoxue came over to change the paint, said "ah", pointed to the woman in red on the boat and said, "It looks like Wu Gege!" After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that her expression changed, and she looked at Fujin anxiously.

Fujin's face was calm, and he said lightly: "I didn't realize it at first, but I heard you say that, it looks a bit like it." Then he looked sideways, and said with a smile: "There are six or seven points like you. What do you see?"

Shuoxue has already knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head, she murmured: "Fu Jin...".

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Fujin's writing hand trembled slightly, which was uncontrollable.A little bit of cinnabar on the brush, bright red like blood, touched the face of the woman in red, piercing the back of the paper.
