Does the villain stepmother have a headache again today!

Although the "click" sound from Ruan Tao's mouth was not loud and was half covered by his sleeves, the "click" sound still brought the ladies of the surrounding aristocratic families back to reality from their thoughts just now, and then they all hung up. They smiled and talked to each other.

Good guy!

Just now he was distracted!

After so many years in Beijing, I haven't seen any kind of situation, but for the first time, a few children saw something.

But it’s true that everything else is fine. It’s just that once you start comparing other people’s children with your own children in your mind, this process of comparison and thinking will quickly conquer your mind and quickly occupy all your possessions. The energy makes your thoughts completely immersed in it, and it is not easy for you to notice it!

When you suddenly heard movement next to you and suddenly reacted, you realized that you had actually been lost in thought for a long time.

And the person who reminded you is the mother of someone else's child...

This thought made the ladies around them chat and laugh, quickly pick up the tea cup, take a sip into their mouths, and repeatedly suppress their shock.

Although no one spoke specifically, they all had their own little Jiujiu in their hearts - was Mrs. Nanping Hou's "click" sound just now intentional or unintentional?

But whether Ruan Tao's "click" sound was intentional or unintentional, no one bothered to ask.

And, there won’t be any in the future.

This is a big no-no at such gatherings.

For a trivial matter that has passed by without the need for verification, I feel uncomfortable and have to do a more serious verification. In the end, the trivial matter may turn into a big event, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Everyone here is from a prominent family in the capital. These ladies from aristocratic families know better than anyone else what matters should be taken lightly and what matters should be done as soon as they are done.

Therefore, after this "click" sound, the ladies of the aristocratic family suddenly recovered from the silence they had been in before, and slowly returned to the "harmonious" atmosphere where they were talking and laughing, as if the previous episode had never happened. .

Ruan Tao didn't expose it either.

The lady from the aristocratic family who happened to be beside her exclaimed, "The child is smart" and other words of approval.

This is if you pretend to be modest and say, "No way, it's still far behind!"

The others are not stupid. How can they not hear it? They should still complain in their hearts, or even mutter sourly, "You are already far behind, but others don't know how far behind it is?"

Ruan Tao naturally wouldn't do these things.

Ruan Tao stretched out his hand, half-hiding his face, and whispered, "It's just a coincidence. When asked again, he said fifty-six!"

The lady from the aristocratic family beside her was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help laughing.

This is in line with the temperament of children!

It also makes sense.

The most important thing is that the other party is willing to accept the result.

In this way, after Ruan Tao responded to the other party's casual compliment, he closed the distance between him and Ruan Tao, and then whispered, "Is this pancake delicious? I just wanted to take a bite." "

Ruan Tao said softly, "As long as I don't say it tastes bad, others won't know."

The other person laughed again.

Ruan Tao also laughed.

The relationship between the two became much closer during this back and forth.

Since this topic started with Princess Zhuang, it naturally ended with Princess Zhuang. Princess Zhuang smiled gently and said, "Come, come here and let me see. How can this child be so smart?"

Fu Sisi was stunned: "!!!"

Hey, does this mean he was born smart? ! !

Fu Sisi was flattered!

This is the first time anyone has said that to him!

Fu Sisi quickly tried to recall what he saw when he looked in the mirror. Oh, he seemed a little smart!

However, he seems to be thinking about how to avoid being cheated by his fifth brother every day!

In fact, the fifth brother is smarter!

But, who doesn’t like to be called smart?

Moreover, it is people like Princess Zhuang who say he is smart!

Fu Sisi was a little confused for a moment, and then he remembered what his mother had told him before the plum blossom feast. Fu Sisi looked at his mother and saw her nodding, so Fu Sisi obeyed and stepped forward.

In fact, Si Si still prefers others to say that he looks more like a hero!

His mother said he looked like a hero!

In his mind, heroes are much smarter and more powerful!

But in front of Princess Zhuang, Si Si was still polite, because his mother said that the reason why Da Xia became Da Xia was because although Da Xia had a personality, Da Xia was very polite, especially in front of elders.

Princess Zhuang was old, almost as old as his grandmother, so he had to be polite when in front of Princess Zhuang.

"Si Si..." Si Si was confused, and Si Si quickly repeated, "Ting'an has met the princess."

Ruan Tao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The few cubs in the house seemed to really like the nickname she gave them.

Suddenly, a scene suddenly appeared in Ruan Tao's mind.

It was Fu Sisi who had grown up, with a tall figure and a sword wrapped around his arms.

Half leaning against the door pavilion, a little "impatient", but at the same time a little cool, he called out, "Mother!"

This thought gave Ruan Tao a sudden idea!

Good guy!

Why did he grow so big in an instant?

How can I put it this way? It's like, it's a bit real, but also mixed with a bit of trance. But that appearance really looks like an elongated version of Sisi, except that his face is not as round as when he was a child, he is tall and long, and he is somewhat handsome...

This feeling is really strange.

It's like a child you raised by yourself, who grows up with a filter and a halo.

No matter how you look at it, you feel that you will definitely be successful after April 4th!

The sense of relief in the old mother's heart began to slowly replace the sense of reality and trance just now. So, when Si Si walked up to Princess Zhuang, Ruan Tao hadn't quite recovered until Princess Zhuang spoke.

"You know how to make such difficult calculations?" Princess Zhuang really thought this child was smart.

When Fu Tuanzi came forward earlier, everyone felt that Princess Zhuang already liked Tuanzi very much; but when Fu Ting'an came forward here, they felt that Princess Zhuang liked Fu Ting'an very much.

The word "calculation" was mentioned again, and Sisi's mouth drooped and his brows furrowed, showing a bitter and resentful look.

The fear of being dominated by Mr. Hu came to my mind again!

What are the legs of rabbits, chickens and parrots that Princess Zhuang mentioned!

He was also forced by Mr. Hu to count spider's legs and crab's legs!

Moreover, Mr. Hu is not the same as Princess Zhuang!

When Mr. Hu asks you a question, you have to answer it before he approaches you and looks at you with ferocious eyes!

He was scared to death by Mr. Hu several times!

But it sounds strange!

Although Mr. Hu can scare everyone, he seems to like scaring him especially!

Especially after he was so scared that he peed his pants a few times, and then he responded quickly a few times!

The expression on Mr. Hu's face became more and more complicated, more sinister and evil, and the questions given to him became more and more difficult, and he had to calculate faster and faster!

Until now, every time he saw Mr. Hu, he would be on tenterhooks, not knowing what questions Mr. Hu would ask to trouble him when he opened his mouth!

That is to say, with Mr. Hu, he seems to have developed a rhythm of being highly focused and ready to answer Mr. Hu's questions as soon as he sees Mr. Hu!

If he ever thinks about being lazy, Mr. Hu will beat him with a ruler!

God knows how many rulers my mother provided to Mr. Hu! When Mr. Hu slapped his palm, he never saw the same ruler again!

Even if it is interrupted, Lan Dai can quickly make up for it!

At that time, he even had the illusion that his mother's ruler was specially prepared for him.

But just like that, although he was very annoyed, whenever Mr. Hu wanted to give him a calculation question, he would be highly concentrated. Maybe it was what his mother said, practice makes perfect, and with more contacts, it started very slowly, and then later Soon, and later, he could name these permutations and combinations at a glance!

But Mr. Hu still said he was stupid, slow and needed to practice.

Then he grinned and practiced!

So when Princess Zhuang opened her mouth just now, he suddenly shuddered, as if a certain mechanism in his body had been activated, and he opened his mouth and answered!

He doesn't want to either!

But I just answered it myself!

But that expression of bitterness and hatred can hardly be associated with the appearance of being able to answer the correct answer in one go!

But it's not important. Princess Zhuang looked at Fu Sisi who was suffering from great hatred and said gently, "Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."

Fu Sisi pouted.

Fu Sisi would pout when he didn't know what to do!

Then he would subconsciously circle his arms!

Fortunately, this time when I was crossing my arms, I seemed to think of something. I quickly stood up straight and answered the princess's words first, "I have Mr. Tong to practice arithmetic."

Sure enough!

Take a look!

At this young age, there is already a special strategist!

In addition to calculating, I'm afraid there are other gentlemen taking turns teaching me.

"Then do you like scheming?" Princess Zhuang asked a very philosophical question.

Fu Sisi shook his head decisively.

The people around couldn't help but laugh.

The reaction was so real!

I didn’t know what Mr. Suangchou looked like, which frightened the child.

"Then what do you like?" Princess Zhuang was very caring.

Without even thinking about it, Fu Sisi suddenly switched back to his favorite rhythm, "Horse horse, practice swordsmanship!"

Princess Zhuang understood clearly, "A tiger father has no dog sons."

Fu Sisi suddenly widened his eyes.

Ruan Tao suddenly realized something and quickly said, "Princess Miao Zan, there are many children in the house, all of the same age, and they like to play together."

Fu Sisi could even "explain" the words "with admiration" in a mind-blowing way!

This is the first time Fu Sisi has heard "Tiger father has no dog son". There is still a lot of room for improvement!

It’s better to perform better when no one is around!

"Which of your brothers is better at riding a horse and practicing swordsmanship?" Princess Zhuang asked this question. They all knew that Princess Zhuang wanted to show face to the Nanping Hou Mansion in front of everyone today, and every child behaved well.

Suddenly asked, the groundhog in front of him quickly stepped forward and said, "Back to Princess, we each have our own strengths."

The groundhog opened his mouth and everyone around him laughed.

In disguise, he said that his brother was more powerful and that this kid knew how to talk.

"Then what are you good at?" Princess Zhuang said to Xiao Jiling.

Unlike Four Four, the groundhog is a little reserved, a little honest, and a little nervous. The groundhog is generous and confident, "Let me tell the princess a story."

"Oh, okay, I like to listen to stories." Princess Zhuang cheered.

Ruan Tao also raised his chin to look at him.

The groundhog likes to tell stories and listen to them. The children avoid Mr. Zhou because Mr. Zhou is old and always likes to read in front of the children because his eyesight is not very clear. , can only be closer, several children will have a headache.

But the groundhog had a headache and was willing to listen, and found the historical stories told by Mr. Zhou very interesting.

Not only can he listen to stories, he can retell and vividly tell all the historical allusions Mr. Zhou said. Not only that, the groundhog also likes to discuss interesting things in the stories with Mr. Zhou. For example, if the people in the story are not like this , what will happen to them...

Mr. Zhou likes the student Marmot very much, and he will cook a small stove for him alone, just like Mr. Guo will cook a small stove for Fu Aoquan, Mr. Huang will cook a small stove for Tuanzi, and Mr. Hu will cook a small stove for Sisi. Mr. Zhou will also cook a small stove for the groundhog.

Moreover, some of the prairie dog's little obsessions have gone beyond the scope of historical allusions.

For example, Ruan Tao once heard "be a king and a minister", "strategy", "royal"...

Ruan Tao knew that Mr. Zhou was happy when he spoke. No matter how old the audience was, he would talk about anything if he was happy.

The prairie dogs like to hear it anyway.

When listening, he raised his head, his eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.

Several Zaizai seemed to have their own favorite teachers, but Changge surprised her. Changge didn’t particularly like or dislike anything (except for Mr. Huang’s class), but he liked reading a lot, so he sang. He has a quiet temperament, so even Mr. Yue's music appreciation class, which other children frowned upon, Chang Ge could listen quietly...

In his thoughts, Marmot had already told Princess Zhuang the story of touching the dragon and telling the Queen Mother Zhao vividly.

How can a little Douding tell such a smooth story?

The ladies from the surrounding aristocratic families were quiet.

But the quieter one is Princess Zhuang.

This time, Princess Zhuang did not express her love anxiously like Tuanzi and Sisi did at the time. Instead, she raised a slight smile on her lips and glanced at the groundhog several more times before returning to her earlier smile, "Look Look, how young this kid is, how sharp his teeth are and how smart he is~"

Princess Zhuang started, and others naturally followed her with compliments.

Princess Zhuang looked at Ruan Tao again and said gently, "I think these children are very smart and filial. If you teach them well, everything will go smoothly in Beijing in the future."

Without reaching out to hit the smiling person, Ruan Tao followed the local customs and said, "Borrowing the princess's good words."

*

Fu Aoquan had already stayed in front of a picture of wintersweet for a long time.

Finally, the crowd of people who wanted to compliment her couldn't stand it any longer. She didn't know how long she would have to stare at this picture like a fossil, but she couldn't leave or not leave. They were in a stalemate for a long time. Finally, when the first person couldn't bear it anymore and left first, then the second one, then the third one... In the end, all the people surrounding her finally left.

Fu Aoquan didn't specifically want to use this method to drive these people away.

It just happened that this painting inspired her.

There is a big difference between people who appreciate paintings and people who don't like to appreciate paintings.

People who appreciate paintings seem to be communicating with the author of the painting across a distance of time and space when looking at the painting.

From the brushstrokes to the colors, from the details to the overall picture, many of the emotions and emotions you want to express are hidden in these inconspicuous contrasts, which require you to appreciate them slowly.

An inappropriate metaphor is like an onion that needs to be cut open layer by layer to see the deepest part.

This is originally the happiest part of appreciating paintings.

So Fu Aoquan is really looking at this painting carefully, and he is guessing through this painting what the person who painted this painting is hiding behind this wintersweet...

Not to mention half an hour, even an hour is possible.

But the people around him had already dispersed.

Not only did they disperse, they even slandered them.

But Fu Aoquan didn't pay attention at all, so he didn't care.

But at the moment, the noble lady Meng Jingyuan not far away sighed, "Did you see it? It's really Fu Aoquan who has been staring at this picture of wintersweet for a long time, does he seem to understand it?"

Another person said, "Isn't it? Who doesn't know what she looked like every time she came to Beijing in the past. Now she is better. She has a different mother and a different temperament. Now she pretends to be elegant in front of others and appreciates it. Calligraphy and painting, who wouldn’t know that the colorful revolving lantern from earlier was her?”

Meng Jingyuan just listened to the roar of laughter around her and said nothing.

She remembered what her mother had told her.

The people around Meng Jingyuan were from the most prominent family backgrounds in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing. Those who were around Fu Aoquan earlier had to please Fu Aoquan, which was completely different.

No one here needs to please Fu Aoquan.

Even though the mother of the family is in Songyuan, what does it have to do with them?

Those who don't like each other don't move around. Fu Aoquan and they didn't have a handkerchief relationship since they were young. Even if they did, there were times when they didn't like each other.

But when Fu Aoquan arrived, everyone suddenly stood in the same trench again.

"I'm just trying to imitate others, but I don't even have any self-awareness..."

"This is how one person attained enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. Marquis Nanping died in battle. Today, Nanping Marquis' Mansion will be as popular as it is."

"Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, and people don't stay good for a thousand days. Let's see how long the scenery like today can last?"

Amid the jeers and laughter around her, Meng Jingyuan remained silent.

"What happened to you today that you didn't say anything?" the lady beside asked in a low voice.

Meng Jingyuan looked at her, then at the people who were still discussing on one side, and said softly, "It's nothing, just be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."

The noble lady was stunned.

Meng Jingyuan continued, "How can a person's change happen overnight? It took at least some time for Fu Aoquan to become what you and I see. If she doesn't want to change, she won't be able to persist for so long; if she doesn't If you want to change, what you see today is just the tip of the iceberg. If she says she doesn't know it, she probably doesn't know it either."

After Meng Jingyuan finished speaking, the lady beside her seemed to understand something.

Sure enough, neither of them joined in the conversation anymore.

It's just that there are always one or two thorns in the capital. Even though my family warned me today not to conflict with the Nanping Marquis Mansion, I still remember everything when I am alone. When there are more people, it seems that the law does not punish everyone, and I suddenly become bolder. .

There are actually quite a few paintings here. Although Fu Aoquan has stopped and looked at the painting in front of him for a long time, the style of writing is very warm. This is a painting by Cang Lanzi.

The teacher said that Cang Lanzi is one of the few masters of calligraphy and painting in Xiqi who has superb use of color.

Her paintings have a bit of Cang Lanzi's style.

But Cang Lanzi's style is more majestic and comprehensive, so the colors will not dominate the scene.

She hadn't been able to understand much earlier.

But standing in front of this painting today, it seems that suddenly many things that I didn't understand before are suddenly understood, and some things that I haven't yet understood are gradually becoming clear.

What was even more attractive was that she seemed to notice some differences besides what the teacher said.

Cang Lanzi is indeed a master, very good at layout and writing...

One day, can she become someone like Cang Lanzi?

Looking up at the mountains, this is the vitality in my heart that I have never experienced before!

Fortunately, she still has a lot of time!

Fortunately, she finally knew where to spend her time at an age when she still had a lot of time!

Through this kind of communication with everyone through a painting, I can feel the majestic artistic achievements of my predecessors. In addition to admiration, it is more of an excitement that is secretly growing in my heart, germinating deep in my heart!

This is a conversation that can span time!

Behind this painting is the calm writing of a master from hundreds of years ago!

Can’t see enough…

Even if I spend a whole day in front of this painting, I still can't see enough!

It is difficult for Fu Aoquan to describe the calm and humiliation he feels in his heart right now.

But she was so lucky to have come to the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet today. It was a worthwhile trip to come here...

This group of noble ladies walked past Fu Aoquan, making low-pitched taunts and slightly sharper provocations, but the other party did not move.

Because Fu Aoquan is still immersed in communication with the paintings.

The few ladies who were taunting in low voices were a bit reluctant to get off the stage. The three of them followed the crowd, so they thought that they would ignore each other and wanted to make her look good. He walked around the road, but he had to stop. The low taunting and provocation just now became a loud voice, "Hey, you are so fascinated, is it true or false? Others can't hear it so loudly, isn't it true? pass?"

Fu Aoquan was stunned, slowly turned his eyes, came to his senses, and then began to look at these people.

Seeing Fu Aoquan finally reacting, several people felt relieved.

When Meng Jingyuan and others were behind him, he wanted to show off even more, "Can you understand Cang Lanzi's paintings?"

"If you don't understand, you can't say you don't understand. How embarrassing would that be?"

There was laughter all around.

Fu Aoquan also lowered his head, smiled faintly, and ignored him.

But this time they ignored him, and the few people who seemed to have occupied the top position suddenly felt that they had lost their dignity.

But since when did Fu Aoquan become so easy to talk to?

Fu Aoquan didn't want to waste time on this.

But these people persisted, "Oh, I guess they have become mute."

Another person continued, "Speaking of it, in a place like Huicheng, there should be a lot of colorful silks and satins. I can understand the revolving lanterns, but I can't understand the calligraphy and painting."

Faced with the provocation that had reached a certain level, Fu Aoquan suppressed his smile but remained silent.

"What nonsense are you talking about! The Nanping Marquis Mansion is not what it used to be. Can we allow you to gossip here?"

"The present is different from the past, but the pheasant in Huicheng can become a phoenix when it flies out of Huicheng?"

"Oh, why are you talking nonsense? It's so bad that Ao Quan misunderstood, isn't it, Ao Quan?"

Fu Aoquan twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "Don't get me wrong, it's not unusual for dogs to bite people~"

The surrounding people were stunned.

Fu Aoquan continued, "When have you ever seen a man bite a dog..."
