Chapter 134: Appreciating Paintings
This time it's really embarrassing.
The second young lady of the family first disguised herself as a maid and entered someone else's study, and now she is rummaging through things in the study. It would have been fine if she just rummaged through things, but she also had the intention of stealing. If she were the owner of this study, she would have been angry a long time ago.
The skin touched through the clothes, and the cold big hand clamped Shen Qingyu's hand tightly, preventing her from breaking free.
Does this person walk without making any sound?
She didn't even notice when he appeared in the study.
Slightly surprised but not panicked, Shen Qingyu raised her eyes slightly and saw a tall man standing in front of her. He wore white clothes and had a precious jade ring tied between his jade belt, with tassels underneath.
His pure white robe swayed slightly in the breeze.
He did not speak or make any sound, but he was naturally noble and elegant.
He is a fairy from heaven, and I am a human on earth.
Shen Qingyu has never been a person with low self-esteem, but it is impossible for her not to feel a little humble when she stands close to someone like Nan Rongyan. It is as if he is so high above her that standing in front of him is already a blasphemy, not to mention dreaming about the love that does not belong to her.
Shen Qingyu collected these thoughts, raised his head slightly, and smiled, "Zi Yu, you're awake."
Nan Rongyan's eyes were cold.
Why is it her again?
"Zi Yu, do you think Qing Yu is not a girl because she is not yet of marriageable age?" She looked meaningfully at Nan Rongyan who was holding her hand and said jokingly, "Zi Yu, you hurt me."
Nan Rongyan then realized that his hands were pressing a pair of soft and slender hands, a pair of women's hands, and a thin layer of red appeared on his handsome face.
At the same time, the big hand withdrew in panic.
Why was he always so embarrassed every time he met her, teased by her, used by her, and forced by her to hide back in the Nanrong Mansion where he least wanted to stay, but even in the Nanrong Mansion, she still found him.
The rumors in Jinling Prefecture were getting more and more intense. Even his grandfather, who had always left him alone, repeatedly asked him to get married to quell the rumors and preserve the Nanrong family's century-old reputation.
And the bold woman who started this culprit was right in front of him. He only needed to bring her to his grandfather, and all these rumors would have nothing to do with him from now on.
There was a hint of anger in his cold eyes, and murderous intent was faintly visible, but it only lasted for a moment.
"go out!"
Even though he was furious at Shen Qingyu's behavior, Master Nan Rong knew how to restrain himself. He just opened his thin lips and uttered two words. However, these two words were extremely cold. If they were an ordinary person, he would have felt cold all over and trembled all over. But Shen Qingyu still smiled fearlessly and did not give in at all.
Nan Rongyan's temper is really unusually good.
But she had received much more cold faces than these. Nan Rongyan's attitude towards her was just the beginning. In the past, when she faced her boss, the client, and those disgusting relatives around her, what she had to face was much more unacceptable than this.
Nan Rongyan was stunned. Shen Qingyu was not afraid of him at all. Was she sure that he wouldn't dare to do anything to her?
In front of him, Shen Qingyu slowly unfolded the painting in his hand: Yuntai Mountain was shrouded in white mist, and green bamboos and lush leaves were everywhere; the ink and water were just the right amount of light and dark, as if one had strayed into a fairyland, leaving behind all worldly worries and growing old alone.
With her slender fingers touching the bamboo, Shen Qingyu told the story in detail, describing every stroke and every dark edge of the brush without missing a single detail, as if the painting had been drawn by her.
“To paint bamboo, one must first have a clear idea in mind. Once one has a clear idea in mind, bamboo will surely appear in one’s brush. Observing the vastness of the world, only by letting go and following one’s heart can one be free from worries and at ease.”
Nan Rongyan was very surprised. The half poem that Shen Qingyu wrote in the bamboo forest had already made him realize her talent, but who knew that her understanding of painting and everything in the world was even more extraordinary.
It is rare for a young lady from an aristocratic family who has lived in the boudoir for a long time to have such insight, but her character is extremely bad and she is frivolous. She has no idea what the reservedness is that a woman should maintain.
She doesn't avoid the suspicion of differences between men and women at all. Even though she is not yet an adult, she should not hug and kiss men casually.
Nan Rongyan thought of the time on Mount Yuntai when Shen Qingyu snuggled in Xiao Qingye's arms in public, and disgust suddenly appeared in his indifferent eyes. He snatched the painting from Shen Qingyu's hand, flicked his sleeves, and walked into the curtain.
If she doesn't leave, then he will.
Shen Qingyu winked at Xiangyun and hurriedly followed Nan Rongyan's footsteps.
Xiangyun was really at the point of crying without tears.
The second young lady now has quite a bit of silver deposited in the bank, but she is still not satisfied. Wherever she goes, she always tries to plunder some. During the days when the lady was drugged and unconscious, the second young lady secretly took away all the private money that the lady had kept in the bottom of the box. I wonder if the lady will eat the second young lady alive when they return home today.
There is also the housekeeper Shen in the mansion. The second young lady extorted several thousand taels of silver from him without any explanation, claiming that he was old and had poor eyesight. In the past month, the second young lady has committed many crimes. After squeezing the people in the mansion, she ran to Nanrong Mansion to commit crimes in defiance of the law.
Poor Master Nanrong, being entangled by her second young lady, I'm afraid that in the end he will be eaten up and not even a residue will be left, Xiangyun sighed with sympathy, and then followed the instructions given to her by Shen Qingyu. She glanced outside the study and saw that the servant Mingliu was still sitting in the yard. She tiptoed through the boxes and cabinets, specially picking out some small jade stones and stuffing them into her arms.
Strings of broken beads swayed on the bead curtain, and the curtain was separated by a curtain.
Nan Rongyan's white clothes fluttered, and Shen Qingyu trotted after him, breathing slightly.
It turns out that there is a different world in this study.
Behind the curtain is an upper room, which is simple and elegant, without a trace of luxury.
Nan Rongyan stopped and looked at Shen Qingyu, his indifferent eyes becoming more and more gloomy. Why was she following him?
Although there were many women in Jinling Prefecture who admired him, no one had ever been as bold as her, daring to say and do anything. Moreover, the unyielding desire for him was clearly reflected in her eyes, and she did not know how to conceal it.
Even though Nan Rongyan had a good heart, he couldn't help but feel a little angry at Shen Qingyu, "Second Miss Shen, what do you want?"
Wow, ten words.
Ten full words, Nan Rong actually said ten words to her.
"Zi Yu, it turns out you can speak. You don't stutter or stammer."
With a smile in her clear eyes, Shen Qingyu ignored Nan Rongyan's cold expression and directly pulled his sleeve.
Stutter?
stammer?
Nan Rongyan's cold and handsome face darkened even more. Did she think that he only spoke a few words each time because he stuttered and spoke incoherently?
