Chapter 141 Who does that woman know?
"I'm sorry, sorry!"
The servant was a little panicked and quickly squatted down to clean up.
Chen Mange also squatted down and said with a smile: "I'll help you."
"No need, ma'am, you are a guest, I'll do it myself."
The servant was a little panicked.
Both Huo Zhenting and Old Lady Huo felt embarrassed.
Old Mrs. Huo said: "I'm so sorry, Miss Chen, this is our housekeeper. She is a little older and is just tidying up the study. I didn't see you coming. Don't worry, let her clean up by herself."
"It's okay, I'm wrong, I didn't hide."
Chen Mange smiled faintly and let go of Mrs. Huo's hand, then squatted down to help the butler pick up the books. He subconsciously put the yellow photo into his cuff while no one was paying attention, and then stood up as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that Chen Mange was so approachable, Old Mrs. Huo couldn't help but feel more affection for her.
What the soldiers' children hate the most is the arrogant and domineering woman who is pampered and charming. At first, Mrs. Huo thought Chen Mange would be like Chu Mengxi, but she didn't expect that she was so approachable and had no airs at all, and her favor suddenly rose.
"Come on, come on, have some tea."
Old Mrs. Huo happily brought Chen Mange into the living room again.
Seeing that Mrs. Huo Zhenting loved Chen Mange so much, he couldn't help but feel much better. Although he didn't know why, he was inexplicably very happy.
"I asked someone to prepare something to eat, but I wonder if Miss Chen had eaten it?"
"No need to worry, I came here to meet Zhao Ning, because I heard that he is here, and I need to verify some things with him."
Chen Mange expressed his purpose in time.
Huo Zhenting and Old Lady Huo were both too enthusiastic, which made her unable to stand it.
When the old lady Huo heard this, she paused slightly and said, "Do you want to ask me about slandering you?"
"No, let's forget it, Mrs. Huo, I heard that you are also trying to find the descendants of the Huo family. Although I don't agree with your approach, I can understand it. Moreover, Mr. Huo and Ye Nanxian have solved this matter, so I will not mention the old things again. I have other things to ask Zhao Ning, but I don't know if Mrs. Huo can do it?"
Chen Mange said this very well, and Mrs. Huo liked her even more.
"Okay, I'll let Zhenting take you there."
"Thank you, Mrs. Huo."
Chen Mange owed his body slightly and walked towards the backyard with Huo Zhenting.
The Huo family’s backyard is different from the Ye family’s courtyard. There are no rockery or flowers and plants, but instead it is an exquisite small courtyard, like a bookstore in the past.
Chen Mange couldn't help but look at it, feeling that the courtyard was elegant and pure, especially the plaque title on the yard. The writing style was simply the style of everyone. The elegance revealed a sense of hardness and strength, which made her look at it more.
Seeing that she was interested in this courtyard, Huo Zhenting smiled and said, "This is the courtyard written by my elder brother. It used to be his studio."
"Studio? Is General Huo not a military general?"
Chen Mange has heard of the Huo family. Everyone in the Huo family is a hero and a martyr in the country. All the people in Haicheng know about their deeds, especially Huo Zhenfeng, the eldest son of the Huo family, is a general of a generation. She really didn't expect that such a famous general would be a man who can draw?
Huo Zhenting smiled and said, "My elder brother studied in the art academy before joining the army. He was born interested in painting. However, our Huo family has training. When men reach a certain age, they must go to the army to train themselves. So my elder brother only joined the army, but he didn't expect that he would be promoted all the way in the military region and finally sacrificed his life for the country. My mother missed his past days, so she asked me to clean my elder brother's studio every day, and it has not changed for so many years."
Chen Mange is also a painter, but she only learns painting because of design. Now that she hears Huo Zhenfeng can actually draw, she can't help but want to take a look.
Seeing Chen Mange's thoughts, Huo Zhenting took the initiative to say: "Zhao Ning has always been in the dungeon. If Miss Chen is interested, I will take you to my elder brother's studio to take a look."
"Is that OK? Wouldn't it be rude?"
Chen Mange was a little surprised.
"It's okay. I heard that Miss Chen is a designer and must be quite knowledgeable about painting. My elder brother is really worthless in the eyes of a big old man like me. I think my elder brother will be happy to meet someone who knows how to draw like this."
Hearing Huo Zhenting said this, Chen Mange couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Let's go."
Huo Zhenting half-forcedly brought Chen Mange into the courtyard.
The freshness and elegance of the courtyard surprised Chen Mange a little.
A bamboo forest was actually planted here.
The house in the courtyard was built according to ancient buildings and was incompatible with the buildings outside. I really wanted to be one, but it had a unique flavor.
Chen Mange felt that this was his ideal courtyard and his ideal life. He didn't expect to see it at the Huo family.
Seeing that Chen Mange liked this place very much, Huo Zhenting seemed to suddenly think of something and said with a smile: "If you like this place, you can come often. I don't understand my elder brother and my mother. If you can understand it and like it, you are welcome to come often."
When Song Tao heard Huo Zhenting say this, he frowned slightly and said quickly: "Mr. Huo, our Miss Chen has other things, and I'm afraid there is not so much time."
As soon as these words were said, Huo Zhenting's eyes glanced at him coldly, but Song Tao didn't care, while Chen Mange felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm really busy lately, but I can take a look at General Huo's paintings first."
Chen Mange really liked this place so much. She never knew that there was someone in this world who liked the same thing as her, who could actually express the pictures she imagined in her mind. For this reason, Chen Mange was very curious about General Huo.
Seeing that Chen Mange really liked it, Song Tao did not stop him and took the initiative to take a step back.
Huo Zhenting asked someone to open the door of the courtyard and said to Chen Mange: "It's all my elder brother's treasures in this life, so I won't go in. Miss Chen, please watch slowly, we're waiting for you outside."
"Isn't that good?"
Chen Mange thought Huo Zhenting was so generous. This was her first time visiting the Huo family.
But Huo Zhenting smiled and said, "It's okay, I believe Miss Chen, please."
Since Huo Zhenting said so, Chen Mange naturally did not refuse. She couldn't wait to enter the courtyard and then felt like she had entered a brand new world.
Huo Zhenfeng is used to painting scenery, and every painting is framed by the Huo family. It can be seen that Huo Zhenfeng's writing skills are good, and he may even surpass Chen's father.
Chen Mange was amazed and browsed one by one, with a hint of admiration for General Huo in his heart.
There is an easel in one corner of the studio, and a white cloth is covered with it.
Chen Mange was a little curious. After walking over, he gently lifted up a hundred steps and found that it was actually a portrait of a character.
Huo Zhenfeng's landscape paintings are particularly vivid and make people feel immersive. The figure paintings in front of him are obviously not as good as those of landscape paintings. However, it can be seen that Huo Zhenfeng has a lot of emotions towards this person, and the delicate emotions in her writing style make her feel the same as outsiders.
The easel is a side portrait of a woman, but Chen Mange feels familiar. He always feels that he has seen this woman somewhere, but he can't remember it.
That woman should be very beautiful.
Chen Mange found that there were several other portraits under the portrait, which seemed to be the same woman.
For some reason, Chen Mange gently flipped over, but when he saw the frontal portrait of the woman, he was stunned, as if he was shocked.
She quickly let go of her hand and trembled all over. Looking at the side face of the first painting, she finally understood why this painting made her look familiar.
Chen Mange's hands were trembling slightly, and his throat was even more thirsty.
She couldn't help but take a step back, took out the photo from her cuff, compared the character sketch on the drawing board, and her little face turned whiter.
"How could this happen? Who is this woman?"
Chen Mange murmured, but seemed to have received some shock. He quickly picked up the white cloth and covered it on the easel, and hurriedly walked out.
"Miss Chen..."
When Huo Zhenting saw Chen Mange come out, he saw that Chen Mange's face was very bad when he greeted him. He couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Miss Chen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Nothing, maybe it's too cold here."
As he said that, Chen Mange really rubbed his arms and felt a layer of goose bumps.
Seeing Chen Mange doing this, Huo Zhenting quickly took off his coat and wanted to hand it to Chen Mange, but unexpectedly, Song Tao handed over a woman's coat first.
"Miss Chen, Mr. Ye asked me to prepare it for you in the car, for fear that you will need it from time to time."
Chen Mange looked at the jacket and it was actually what he liked to wear most. He didn't say anything, so he took it directly and said to Huo Zhenting: "Thank you, Mr. Huo. Today I saw such a beautiful ending on earth. I admire General Huo so much. If he was still alive, I think I might have worshipped him as my teacher."
"You are welcome. As long as Miss Chen likes it, Miss Chen is welcome to come here at any time."
Huo Zhenting said subconsciously.
Chen Mange did not refuse or agree, and looked a little dazed, but he whispered: "Thank you, I think I'll go see Zhao Ning now. Some things I need to know clearly when I come here."
"Okay, please come with me."
Although Huo Zhenting was a little disappointed, he could see that Chen Mange's face was not very good and he became much pale.
What did she see in the studio? Or did she encounter something?
Otherwise, how could a person's performance and emotions change so much?
Huo Zhenting was confused and took Chen Mange towards the dungeon, and Chen Mange was also very uneasy.
She held her hands tightly, and her nails oozed into her flesh without knowing that.
Her mind kept thinking about the face on the portrait.
Who is that woman?
What does it have to do with the Huo family and Huo Zhenfeng?
