The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 11

Zhao Yuhe looked at An Ran's fair and lovely face with bright and intelligent eyes, and thought that his brother would have a bright future, and that he would be looked up to by others in his in-law's house, so he could more or less get some credit.She was even more happy in her heart, so she hugged An Ran and put it on her lap, and said with a full face of love: "I heard that our sister Ran can also draw flowers! Sister Ran can draw one for the eldest aunt to see." Do you like it?"

An Ran nodded, hurriedly jumped down to the ground, picked up a three-inch long branch and drew it on the ground beside Zhao Yuhe's feet.

An Ran studied painting for nearly ten years in her previous life, starting with sketching, and later she learned gouache, Chinese painting freehand brushwork and oil painting. Only when she was learning traditional Chinese painting, she had no patience and finally gave up. But sketching is a basic skill, but it is pretty solid.It is easy to draw a few tricks.

Zhao Yuhe saw that Anran had drawn a lotus flower with the branches on the ground three or two times, not only was it something she had never seen before, the flowers and leaves were well arranged, and it was so realistic and beautiful, she cried out in surprise: "Oh, father, mother , Second brother, come and take a look, the flower drawn by my sister is so beautiful!"

The two elders of the Zhao family were a little unhappy seeing their daughter's bluffing, but they heard that little An Ran could draw flowers, so they couldn't help but come over curiously to have a look.

Zhao Shihua heard from his wife last night that his daughter could draw flowers, but the couple hadn't had time to watch it when they were newlyweds. Seeing the surprised look on the elder sister's face, he couldn't help but follow her.Could it be that his little girl not only recognizes characters quickly and writes well, but also really can't draw well?

Everyone gathered around, and saw a lotus flower in full bloom on the ground that had been trampled and compacted by people. On the side were two lotus leaves, one high and one low, half stretched and half curled, as if a wind was blowing slowly. .And there is another lotus stalk protruding from the back of the lotus leaf on the blooming lotus, but it is a budding flower bone, and a dragonfly is parked on it.The whole painting is well-proportioned and rich in connotation. No one, let alone a child, even the adults present dare to pat their chests and say that they can draw such a painting.

Zhao Shihua was also startled when he saw it, and then squatted down and hugged An Ran in his arms, and asked with a bit of restrained excitement: "Ninny, who taught you to draw this painting?"

An Ran blinked her eyes, tilted her head and looked at her father strangely, and said, "My daughter drew it herself for fun! Last year, my daughter saw the lotus in the lotus pond, and it looked like this. Daddy, don't my daughter's paintings look like it? Oh, My daughter remembers that there are still dewdrops on the lotus leaves, and there are frogs and small fishes under the lotus leaves, and there are many lotus pods that I haven’t painted yet! Look, Dad, the little lotus has just revealed its sharp horns, and there have been dragonflies standing on it long ago.” An Ran until now She didn't even figure out whether this time and space was the ancient time and space of her previous life, and she didn't know which dynasty she had traveled to, so she deliberately tested her father through this simple but popular poem.

"No, my daughter's painting is very good, very good!" Zhao Shihua recited the last two lines of An Ran's poem silently in his heart, and sighed, "'Little lotus just showed its sharp horns, and a dragonfly stood on it long ago.' Our daughter can still draw Poetry! Our daughter must be the smartest girl in the world." Zhao Shihua excitedly touched his daughter's pink face, then bowed his head and kissed her face, his love was beyond words.

An Ran lowered her head, but she was secretly surprised that Yang Wanli's poems were considered very famous in Song Dynasty, yet even her father hadn't heard of them?Is it still the Tang Dynasty?Or the early Song Dynasty?

"Yeah, I've never seen such a smart kid!" Zhao Yuhe woke up from the shock and praised.

"Prodigy, prodigy!"

When the others saw it, they were also full of praise.Even Mrs. Wang squeezed in for a few glances, but couldn't pick out some faults, and finally said sourly: "I have never seen such a young child who can draw so well, and he has become a master." It's like... I've heard people say that it's not good for some children to be too smart, they are all descended from the stars in the sky, the Jade Emperor is reluctant and wants to take them back early..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shihua immediately raised his head and stared at Wang angrily.

Zhao Shirong was also angry, raised his hand and gave her a slap and said, "Shut your mouth if you can't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!"

"You are also the mother of several children, and you don't accumulate any virtue for your own children..." Rong was also very angry.

Gu Shi clenched her fists tightly, if her elder brother had not already slapped Wang Shi, she would have rushed up and tore Wang Shi's mouth.

Mrs. Wang went back to her room disheartened. The whole family surrounded An Ran and asked her to draw a few more paintings, which made people admire. .

During the excitement, the Gu family came.

Gu Shengwu, the second younger brother of the Gu family, came to the Gu family, driving a half-new carriage and carrying a load of gifts.

Seeing that there was no one in his sister's house, Gu Shengwu had no choice but to drive the carriage to the old yard.Seeing that his sister, brother-in-law and nephews were all there, he immediately parked the carriage and jumped down, greeted the elders of the Zhao family first, then greeted his sister, brother-in-law, and then took out three bolts of linen, a bag of frosting sugar and a box of pastries from the carriage , Said it was for the second elder of the Zhao family, and Mrs. Gu hurriedly moved the second elder into the house.Three bolts of linen, one of blue and white spun linen, was just for Rong's clothes; one of blue spun thick starched cloth was supposed to be for Zhao Maosheng's outer clothes; Zhao Yunxing's.

The second elder of the Zhao family was very happy, while pulling Gu Shengwu to praise him for being smart and capable, while saying things like his in-laws were too polite.

Then, Gu Shengwu took out gifts for Zhao Shirong, the boss of the Zhao family, and Zhao Shifu, the third child, both of which were two bolts of muslin cloth.Because Zhao Shirong's family has three children, Gu Shengwu added another box of pastries.

Both Zhao Shirong and Zhao Shifu were a little embarrassed.In the countryside, this kind of gift is considered very generous. It is neither a holiday nor a treat for a wedding at home.

Seeing that her family only had one more box of pastries than the third family's, Mrs. Wang felt a little upset. When she carried the cloth back to the house, she muttered: "We have three children in our family, and only two pieces of cloth; the third family has no cubs. I even gave two horses..." Naturally, Wang did not dare to compare with the second elder of the Zhao family, nor did she dare to compare with the second uncle Zhao Shihua. It's blocked.
