Jade color and fragrance

On August [-]th, Yan Yu went to the Bai Mansion to study painting as usual. These days, even though she is busy, she always finds time to practice repeatedly.

After entering the White House, she first went to meet her eldest aunt.

Bai Zhen is not at home, and has already gone to the teahouse to help out. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the business of the teahouse has been extremely hot recently.

"Auntie, these are the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts I'm giving you." The maids and waiters behind Yan Yu were all holding various silks and satins, as well as pastries.

"Auntie, the whole family has a share in these cloths. They are all from my own shop. I picked the best ones and sent them here."

The eldest aunt accepted it with a smile, and told Yan Yu to tell the servants to go down first. Yan Yu was a little puzzled, what happened?
After the servants went down, the eldest aunt stepped forward and took Yan Yu's hand, and the two sat down together, and said to Yan Yu: "Yu'er, I know you like uncle's house. These days, you gave Zhener Dongzhu, It's still a pair; I also sent those luxurious clothes, and the second uncle's pen, ink, paper and inkstone also gave a lot. Now, I even sent this hill of silk and satin. You have a heart, but the eldest aunt has to say Speaking of you. Even if you set up a female household in the future, you will be in charge of all the ups and downs of the house. If you move things to your uncle's house forever, even if you are willing, have you ever thought about gossip? "

She paused: "One day, someone will criticize you for being unruly and hot-headed. Uncle's house will also be criticized. We coaxed the helpless niece and gave away the wealth with both hands. Think about it, Is this the reason?"

"So, it's not that my aunt won't let you give it. My aunt also knows that you are kind, but this gift-giving is about reciprocity. You have sent so many good things, but my aunt can't return you a considerable gift. This is not beautiful. Yes. Do you know? There will be a long time between us, it’s good to have a long and steady relationship, understand?"

Yan Yu whispered: "Auntie, I don't need your return."

But the aunt said: "But, I need a gift in return, son. Auntie is not blaming you. Our two families are so close. When it comes to giving gifts, as long as you get what you want, everyone will be happy. Do you understand?"

Yan Yu looked straight into the eyes of the eldest aunt, who was seriously teaching her how to behave.

"I understand, thank you aunt for teaching. But I have already delivered the cloth today, so I won't take it back?"

The aunt nodded her nose: "You, little clever ghost, you must remember what aunt said in the future."

"Well, I see."

"Okay, your second uncle is already waiting for you in the study, go!"

Yan Yu bounced and ran to the study room, and walked happily around the yard a few times as she passed by.

In the study, she paid her respects to her second uncle with a smile on her face, and said, "Master, the students are being polite. How is your meal today?"

The second uncle was amused by her: "You, naughty."

He was actually very satisfied with Yan Yu, and always felt that Yan Yu was more talented than her mother.

"Yu'er, let's study for two hours today, and you can decide the time to rest in the middle. In the first hour, you should practice brushwork, dots, lines, and folds. Don't slack off in every painting method. The second hour"

Yan Yu took the bright red persimmons on the table and hurriedly answered, "Second uncle, can I draw persimmons?"

The second uncle stroked his non-existent beard and nodded.

Yan Yu suddenly lifted her spirits, finally learning painting didn't have to be so boring, and she felt secretly happy that she was about to become a master.

When she was doing basic exercises, the second uncle drew a few pictures of persimmons, put them on her desk, and went out with his hands behind his back.

At this time, the second uncle must have gone back to the room to accompany the second aunt, the two of them are really nice, Yan Yu secretly thought.

The second uncle will not point out Yan Yu on the spot, nor will he comment on it today.In this way, after Yan Yu returned to the mansion, he could continue to paint and finally bring him the painting he was most satisfied with.

At noon, Bai Zhen came back, secretly gave her a wink, and the two went back to the room.

Bai Zhen happily held Yan Yu's hand, and said a little shyly, "Yesterday, I went to the fourth prince's mansion to see those kittens and puppies."

Yan Yu knew about this, Bai Zhen originally asked her to go with her, but she really couldn't leave, and she felt a little worried about those little guys, but it was inevitable that Bai Zhen went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion alone, she sent Tao Hong, Liu Green went with her.

Tao Hong and Liu Lu, now under the strict guidance of Nanny Xian, are much more mature, stable and appropriate, and they are also qualified for the duties of second-class maids, they just need to be polished.

When the three of them arrived at the fourth prince's mansion, Gu Chen couldn't wait to wait at the gate of the mansion, and led them in himself.

Bai Zhen has been to Prince Gong's Mansion. In comparison, the Fourth Prince's Mansion is much smaller, but for ordinary people like them, it is also a luxury that cannot be imagined in a lifetime.

Gu Chen personally soaked the West Lake Yuqian Longjing, handed it to Bai Zhen, and said, "Miss Bai, this is the Dragon Well gifted by the emperor, you should try it too, how is it different from the Dragon Well in your teahouse?"

"Yuci's Longjing is naturally the best, with complete leaves, plump buds and leaves, even and moist, tender green and bright, this is the top grade."

After hearing Bai Zhen's words, Gu Chen looked at her lovingly and smiled.

Bai really didn't dare to look at his smile. The fourth prince was born noble, with such a handsome appearance, and even a very noble character. I don't know how many noble girls in Beijing are chasing after him.

She was wrong. Although Gu Chen was a prince, he was known to be unfavorable to the emperor. Naturally, those noble ladies knew that even if someone admired Gu Chen's handsomeness, no one would dare to approach him.In addition, in these years, Gu Chen spends his days in the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, with a vicious aura on his body, the ladies are even more afraid to avoid it.

Moreover, the prince of this dynasty does not have a court lady to serve his bed, and this is also because of Lan Hui's incident.

So, Gu Chen's side is really clean, but Bai Zhen doesn't know it.

She couldn't wait to say: "Your Highness, how about we go and see those little guys?"

"it is good."

Recently, the Fourth Prince's Mansion added two eunuchs who raised cats and dogs.

They serve these little masters diligently every day: they clean them up when they have nothing to do, tidy them up neatly, and take them to play and feed them.

A few little baby bumps have grown up a lot in just a few days, and they are all alive and well.

Seeing Bai Zhen approaching, there was a very perceptive puppy surrounded by Bai Zhen's feet, happily sticking out its tongue and barking, and stretched out its paws to grab the hem of Bai Zhen's skirt.

Bai Zhen was really cute by them, and he didn't care about etiquette, and hugged several puppies in his arms.

Those ignorant cats who were the masters with peace of mind were left out in the cold. Gu Chen also held the chi jade in his arms, and leaned over to show Bai Zhen.

That picture is simply eye-catching, the beauty of a man and a woman is absolutely right.The two maidservants secretly covered their mouths and smiled.

As night fell, Bai Zhen rushed home.

Gu Chen didn't want to keep her, anyway, with these cats and dogs, it would be much easier for him to see Bai Zhen in the future.
