Chapter Fifteen: Mu Huanran, a cottage in the Bamboo Forest (2)
Du Zhiqing and Xia Houchen started discussing an old landscape painting. Mo Jianchen didn't know anything about painting, so he listened quietly and watched carefully.
Du Zhiqing originally thought that talking about these things that Mo Jianchen had no interest in would make him feel bored, so he could make him leave, so he kept talking more and more happily using the technique of this painting.
But who knows that Mo Jianchen refuses to leave no matter what, and he has no choice but to find another way.
It is now the time when the sun sets in the west. A ray of sunset from the horizon shrouds the center of the hills, and lingering fire clouds reflect on the horizon. This poetic and dreamlike scenery is colorful and gorgeous, just like a fairyland on earth.
"Ah, grandpa, look how beautiful it is over there!" Du Zhiqing looked at the scenery on the horizon and said with great interest: "The sunset and sunset are so beautiful. It would be a pity if we just missed it. Grandpa, why don't we go to the opposite side?"
How about painting this scenery on Xiufeng Mountain?"
She thought this way, firstly because she really longed for such a picturesque and gorgeous scenery, and secondly, if she went to Xiufeng Mountain opposite, maybe Mo Jianchen would find it boring and could just leave.
Xia Houchen chatted with the two of them for a whole afternoon. He couldn't help but feel a little tired as he was already old. With a tired look on his face, he patted Du Zhiqing on the shoulder and said, "Zhiqing, grandpa is getting older. Now,
I want to climb the mountain but I can’t climb it. Grandpa will water the flowers in the garden later, so he won’t accompany you anymore.”
"This scenery is indeed beautiful. It would be a pity if you missed it. Jian Chen happens to be here too. Why don't you ask your brother Chen to accompany you to the mountain opposite and draw this scenery for the next time you come here?
When you find grandpa, show him again."
As soon as Xia Houchen said this, Mo Jianchen was naturally happy and said quickly: "That's great, Jianchen will be happy to accompany you!"
Du Zhiqing originally wanted to get rid of Mo Jianchen, but she didn't expect that her grandfather would come up with such a self-defeating idea. She lowered her eyebrows and glanced at Mo Jianchen, with a trace of displeasure flashing in her eyes.
Fu turned around again, pulled Xia Houchen's sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, I just want you to accompany the magistrate. Can grandpa accompany the magistrate?"
"He doesn't know how to paint, so what's the use of asking him to accompany me? Zhiqing wants grandpa to accompany Zhiqing and give Zhiqing some pointers, okay?"
"Oh, grandpa can't promise you today." Xia Houchen did not agree, shook his head and said, "Grandpa is really tired today and can't stay with you anymore."
"You two should go first. It happens that young people can still be companions. If you want grandpa to give you some guidance, wait until you finish the painting tomorrow and show it to grandpa. Grandpa can still give you guidance."
"Yes, sister Zhiqing." Mo Jianchen also followed Xia Houchen's words, "The old Pavilion Master is old and cannot withstand such trouble. It's the same if I come to accompany you."
"Although I don't know how to paint, I can still advise you. When you finish the painting, I can show it to the old pavilion master. It's the same thing."
"Yes, Jian Chen is right." Xia Houchen nodded, "Okay, you two go ahead. If you are late and miss this view, it will be too late. Okay, grandpa is really tired, go ahead
Stay at home for a while, then come see grandpa tomorrow."
As Xia Houchen said this, he packed up the chessboard and walked back to the house.
"Hey, grandpa..." Du Zhiqing seemed a little unwilling, but Xia Houchen had already packed up her things and walked into the house, so she could only lower her arms in frustration.
Mo Jianchen was secretly happy and made an inviting gesture to Du Zhiqing: "Sister Zhiqing, please!"
"snort!"
She knew that she could not escape the fate of going to Xiufeng Mountain with Mo Jianchen, so she turned her head and snorted at Mo Jianchen, and hurried forward.
Mo Jianchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a proud look in his eyes, and hurriedly followed his pace.
"Hey, let me ask you, why are you here? Give me an honest answer. What is your purpose? Don't say it is to accompany the old pavilion master. You can fool my grandpa with this, but
You can't fool me!" Du Zhiqing asked Mo Jianchen in a sharp voice while walking towards Xiufeng Mountain.
As if pressing harder and harder to get him to answer, it seemed as if he was not given any room to maneuver.
Mo Jianchen knew that with her clever temperament, he could not deceive her, so he simply answered her truthfully: "I know that sister Qing is smart, and I can't hide anything from you."
"Actually, I came to Yunshui Residence. On the one hand, I felt bored in Luanxiang Pavilion, so I wanted to come here to relieve my boredom with the old pavilion master. On the other hand, it was because my sister Zhiqing would often come here.
I'm painting with the old pavilion master, and I want to see if I can meet sister Zhiqing here."
Du Zhiqing turned his head and looked straight at him with a pair of watery eyes: "How did you know that I would come here to accompany grandpa to paint?"
Mo Jianchen smiled slyly, "I found out about it from Junior Sister Wandai. As long as it's something I want to know, I'll know it no matter what. Since you don't want to see me, Sister Zhiqing, it's better for me to touch you."
.”
"Hey Mo Jianchen, you are really cunning!" Du Zhiqing said with eyes widened.
After saying that, he turned around, lowered his head, and complained: "That dead girl is the same. She even betrayed her cousin. Looking back, I will teach her a lesson."
Mo Jianchen looked at her again, with some interest in his eyes: "I begged Junior Sister Wandai to tell me where you have been these days. Why should you blame her?"
"Furthermore, Junior Sister Wandai recognized me as a person, so she was willing to tell me. Wandai is your cousin, how could she still harm you? Think about it, she has recognized me as a person, don't you think so too?
Should you recognize me?"
Du Zhiqing glared at him again and said only: "You really worked hard to get my approval."
"But Mo Jianchen, I want to ask you." She turned her head again, looked at Mo Jianchen with a trace of curiosity in her eyes, and asked him: "Why do you want my approval so much?
Does it matter to you whether I recognize you or not? I really don’t know what is going on in your head.”
"Of course it's important!" Mo Jianchen nodded, and there was sincerity in his eyes: "The two of us grew up together. The love between our childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts is unparalleled in the world. To have sister Zhiqing
How could your approval not be important? No matter what, I will be the most important brother Chen in your heart."
Du Zhiqing's eyes moved slightly, and there seemed to be a thoughtful look in his eyes. Although he was really annoying to me sometimes, he was still considerate of himself after all. Suddenly, a feeling grew in his heart.
There was a slight warmth.
But Mo Jianchen smiled graciously, narrowed his bright eyes, walked closer to her, and said softly: "So no matter what method I use, I will see Sister Zhiqing, even if I have to go to bed."
I will not hesitate for a moment even though I am facing a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. My painstaking efforts can be learned from the world, sister Zhiqing, can't you still understand?"
"Go away!" Hearing his dishonest words, Du Zhiqing pushed him away in disgust and frowned again.
Originally, because of his hard work, a little warmth arose in my heart, but after hearing such ridiculing words, the good feeling that had just arisen soon faded away.
Stepping on the path between the bamboo forests, she kicked away the stones on the roadside with a bit of annoyance, muttering in her mouth: "You are really like a dog-skin plaster, you can't get rid of it no matter what."
.I originally wanted to paint with my grandpa today, but you got in the way, which is really annoying."
"I also wanted to go to the mountains with my grandpa to paint the sunset. That's good. Grandpa just pushed you to me. You don't know how to paint, so what do you think you have to do?"
Mo Jianchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at Du Zhiqing with a flash of light in his eyes, and said: "Although I don't know how to paint, I can appreciate it. Sister Zhiqing's painting skills are so good, I am extremely willing to do so."
Let’s see you paint.”
"Since we are all here, let's go together. It's just a good time to spend time with you and reminisce about the time we spent together when we were children."
"Huh!" Du Zhiqing snorted and strode forward, ignoring Mo Jianchen.
"Hey, sister Zhiqing, wait for me..." Mo Jianchen quickly ran forward and followed her footsteps.
A gust of evening wind passed by, lifting up the thin willows in the mountains, and the vines of the willow branches swayed, creating layers of leisure in the quiet mountains.
The lingering and beautiful sunset cast a golden halo, bright and shining, covering the entire valley. The entire mountain was like a dream city, colorful and graceful.
A pair of boys and girls, in this picturesque scenery, are climbing up the mountain shrouded in sunset.
There was only one step left to reach the top of the mountain, and sweat was already pouring from Du Zhiqing's head.
"Come, sister Zhiqing!" Mo Jianchen stood on the top of the mountain and stretched out his hand to Du Zhiqing on the mountainside.
Du Zhiqing subconsciously stretched out her hand and placed it in Mo Jianchen's hand. Mo Jianchen pulled her up with force.
As soon as she was pulled up to the top of the mountain by him, she realized something was wrong and her cheeks turned red. She quickly shook his hand away and frowned: "Who wants your help?"
After saying that, he walked forward, leaving Mo Jianchen behind, and never looked back.
Looking at her awkward look, Mo Jianchen couldn't help but feel that she was a little cute and cute. Her agile appearance was really endearing. He couldn't help but smile and followed her footsteps.
"Wow, this scenery is really beautiful!" Du Zhiqing stood at the top of Xiufeng Mountain, looking at the gorgeous sunset in the Tibetan and Mongolian mountains on the other side, and couldn't help but sigh.
Mo Jianchen also walked up and stood beside her, bathing in the sunset and sunset with her.
