Chapter 380: Appreciating Paintings
When he wanted to seek help from the Fourth Young Master, he turned around and found that the Fourth Young Master had already left.
Children's legs are just quick.
Butler Niu lowered his head and muttered something, then tightened his sleeves and walked towards the fighting arena.
He walked around the martial arts field again and again, but couldn't find anyone.
His gown was soaked and sweat was pouring down his face.
He took the scroll out of his sleeve, afraid that his sweat would wet it, which would be a sin.
After patrolling the area for three quarters of an hour without finding anyone, just when he was about to give up and go back to the tent to wait, someone patted his shoulder.
"Hey, General Zhonglang, I'm glad to find you."
Butler Niu let out a long breath and wiped the sweat off his face.
"Are you here specifically to see me? Is there something wrong?"
Qi Rui took a sweat towel to wipe the sweat off his body, and took Butler Niu to the shed next door to drink tea.
"I came here specifically to see you. It's nothing serious. My master asked me to bring you something."
Butler Niu placed the scroll on the table.
A scroll?
Qi Rui knew that County Magistrate Niu was good at writing.
It seems that this should be the calligraphy given to him by Magistrate Niu.
"Okay, I got it. Please thank your master for me. I don't have anything good to give you, so I'll owe you a return gift first. I'll present it to you when I have the chance."
Butler Niu drank two cups of herbal tea to relieve the heat.
"Since the General has received your message, I will go back and report."
"Okay, then walk slowly."
Qi Rui waved his hand and asked his personal guards to see the person off.
He wiped his hands clean and opened the scroll to admire it.
I thought it was some nice calligraphy, but the first thing I saw was a lotus leaf.
Qi Rui's eyes suddenly tightened, his heart pounding, could it be what he thought? !
He quickly opened the scroll, and the scene he saw was exactly as he had imagined.
What was depicted in this scroll turned out to be the exact scenery of the day when he and Mingshu were admiring the lotus.
that's nice!
So lovely!
Qi Rui grinned, as brightly as he could.
There are green leaves and lotus flowers in the lotus pond. On a small boat, a man and a woman, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, laughing and playing among the lotus flowers.
Not to mention that the characters in it are themselves, even if they are someone else, this can still be called a good painting.
What's more, this is a painting of themselves.
How memorable this is!
County Magistrate Niu really understands him!
This scroll really touched his heart.
Butler Niu followed the guards to the door and couldn't help but look back.
Just as he expected, Lord Qi looked very happy.
This will make it easier for him to report back.
Qi Rui rolled up the scroll again, and without even bothering to put on his clothes, he carried it directly back to the tent.
Wait until he gets back to appreciate it.
Qi Rui took a morning shower, changed into clean clothes, and then opened the scroll on the desk again.
His fingers gently touched Zhou Mingshu's face in the painting.
He had long wanted to touch this tender, fair little face.
With a smile in his eyes, he looked at Zhou Mingshu in the painting over and over again.
His little girl is so pretty.
Zhou Mingshu felt an itchy nose here, so he looked at the sun and sneezed loudly.
I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, 'Who is thinking about me in this matter?'
In fact, she was thinking about Lord Qi. Maybe it was because this big guy was thinking about him that made her sneeze.
It seems that the two haven't seen each other for several days.
I was thinking about making the jelly today and sending him a bowl of it?
But before she returned to the village in the afternoon, Lord Qi came to the restaurant for dinner.
With his status, he naturally went to the private room on the second floor.
"Sir, why did you decide to come here today? What would you like to eat?"
Qi Rui's eyes sparkled, and the corners of his lips curved. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, he said, "I just wanted to see you. I'm not that hungry. Just serve two simple dishes, so that the aunts won't be tired."
"Hey, you're so caring. Wait a minute. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."
Zhou Mingshu ran downstairs with a smile, walked around the room, and selected three slightly light dishes.
A dish of steamed small yellow croaker, a dish of scrambled eggs with loofah, and a dish of chicken with mushrooms.
"I've chosen some light dishes. I hope they suit your taste."
"Yes, yes, it looks delicious."
"You eat first, I'll go downstairs and get you a fruit plate."
Zhou Mingshu took a few pieces of watermelon and some washed plums.
"Try it, it's quite sweet. They're all grown in our own vegetable garden."
Qi Rui smiled, took a piece of watermelon and took a bite.
“Sweet and delicious.”
He chewed the watermelon and swallowed it. The watermelon was very juicy and had few seeds!
No wonder it tastes so good, it’s not difficult to eat.
"Very good, don't just watch me eat, eat some too."
Zhou Mingshu sat aside, resting his chin on his hand, watching Qi Rui eat watermelon.
The bright red watermelon juice dyed his lips as red as honey, with a beautiful luster.
She swallowed unconsciously.
"This morning, Magistrate Niu sent someone to deliver something. Can you come and take a look when you are free?"
"What is it? Why don't you bring it here for me to see?"
Qi Rui laughed out loud, "If you want to see it, just come to the military camp. It's not like you're not allowed in. If I bring it here and it gets dirty or damaged, I'll be heartbroken."
Seeing Lord Qi looking nervous, Zhou Mingshu thought this must be something good.
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look in the afternoon."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
Zhou Mingshu didn't watch him eat. He closed the door and went downstairs to help.
Seeing that Zhou Mingshu was not there, Qi Rui started eating seriously. The food on the plate was soon finished, and all the plums in the fruit plate were also eaten.
Seeing that Zhou Mingshu and the others were busy, they exchanged glances and left.
He didn't leave in a hurry, but went to the mine to take a look.
He hasn't been here for half a month. As the highest official in the local area, he should at least spend more time to inspect the area.
-
Because he had to go to the military defense camp, Zhou Mingshu did not go home with his elder and second sisters.
He rode Jinzi alone to the military defense camp.
Qi Rui, who had returned a long time ago, was almost falling asleep. If Zhou Mingshu didn't come back, he would really take a nap.
Seeing her coming, he got up and washed his face.
"Sir, please show me what good things the county magistrate has given you?"
Zhou Mingshu had endured for such a long time and was becoming extremely anxious.
"Here I am. Look how impatient you are."
Qi Rui smiled and took out the scroll from the drawer, then slowly unfolded it.
Zhou Mingshu was originally standing opposite him, but when he saw it was a painting, he turned to the same side as Qi Rui.
"Hey, it looks like we are in this painting?"
She looked at Qi Rui questioningly.
Only when Qi Rui nodded did she dare to exclaim.
"Oh my god, was this painted by the county magistrate? His painting skills are so good."
After being amazed, she became shy again.
"This painting of me is so beautiful, I really look like a lady..."
Qi Rui, who was watching from the side, also had a smile on his face. The wonderful person in the painting had already overlapped with reality.
