All Hail Cousin Brother

Remember in a second【】

Yu Youyao's eyes lit up, and she hurried over, "What did my cousin draw? Is it a portrait of Zhong Kui?"

During the Dragon Boat Festival, a portrait of Zhong Kui should be hung to drive away ghosts and evil spirits.

Zhou Linghuai raised his eyes and saw the little girl with a strange and narrow smile on her face, so she knew that the girl was being mischievous again. Hang it on the door and keep all ghosts safe from it. As for this painting, I will..."

While speaking, he rolled up the painting scroll that had stretched out a little, making a gesture to take the painting back.

Before he finished speaking, Yu Youyao became anxious, and hurried to his cousin, and said bluntly, "I am not disappointed, not at all. I like whatever my cousin draws. My cousin said he would give it to me, but You can’t go back on your word, show me the painting quickly, my cousin hasn’t given me a painting for a long time.”

While speaking, she still stretched and grabbed his arm, as if afraid that he would really take the painting back.

There was a smile in Zhou Linghuai's eyes, and he stopped embarrassing her, and unfolded the scroll bit by bit.

Yu Youyao's eyes widened, "It's hollyhock."

Hollyhock, also known as mallow, has a plant resembling a sunflower, with flowers like hibiscus, mostly red, large and bright, and blooms around the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as "Dragon Boat Flower". The whole plant can be used as medicine.

Putting moxa on the door during the Dragon Boat Festival? Putting sunflowers in the room? It has the meaning of eradicating disease and eliminating pollution and ensuring safety.

Ren Mok also likes to paint Ai? Painting sunflower? Hanging indoors, it is elegant, beautiful and auspicious.

Yu Youyao was pleasantly surprised, "The hollyhocks in my cousin's yard are blooming?"

Both hollyhock and wormwood have the effect of repelling insects and warding off evil spirits, so when I helped my cousin renovate the yard that day, I planted some in the yard. When it is hot, there are even fewer mosquitoes in the yard.

Zhou Linghuai nodded, "It's beautiful this morning."

Yu Youyao snorted, "The hollyhocks in my yard haven't bloomed yet, and it will be after the Dragon Boat Festival. I'll go to my cousin's house to have a look."

Zhou Linghuai nodded, "There are a lot of blooms in Qingquyuan. If you like it, you can fold a handful and put it in the room."

Yu Youyao happily responded, "Thank you, cousin!"

Zhou Linghuai shook his head, "You also planted it before."

It's May? Qingquyuan is like Tiaoyuyuan,

A bustling scene of flowers.

The rose roses planted in the corner are already in full bloom, regardless of each other.

The vines are entangled with branches and leaves, and the greenery is shady. The flowers and plants in the yard are also thriving. Especially the lotus planted in the tank, which has already exposed its buds? It will bloom soon.

Beautiful scenery? No matter how many times you look at it, you won't get tired of it.

At this time, the painting has been fully unfolded? Yu Youyao fixed her eyes to look at the painting.

There are only a few of them in the paintings, but they are sober and sparse. The lake stones are rendered in light ink as the background, and moss is added. The sparse weeds and mugwort shrubs are used as embellishments to make the whole painting richer and fuller.

Yu Youyao took over the "Auspicious Scenery of the Dragon Boat Festival" carefully, and looked at it carefully.

The little face was full of surprise and joy, "My cousin draws so beautifully. I always feel that my cousin's painting skills seem to be much better."

My cousin's previous paintings are also very beautiful.

But the simpler the painting, the more the painting skills will be tested. Although she is not proficient in painting, she has learned some, and she has an appreciation for it.

Cousin's painting is casual and wild, and it is calm and indifferent, not rigid, and more eclectic, with a sense of beauty that comes from the heart.

Zhou Linghuai chuckled, "Just like it."

After painting the "Bodhisattva Man", his painting skills have indeed improved a lot, and he has become more calm in the operation of various methods.

After Yu Youyao finished appreciating the painting, she carefully rolled it up and put it away, and looked at her cousin with a smile, "My cousin said before that he wanted to draw a portrait of Zhong Kui for me, so don't go back on your word."

Zhou Linghuai suddenly felt itchy, so he lifted it up, and wanted to tap the little girl's forehead as before.

But seeing the thin bangs on the little girl's forehead, I somehow thought of the sentence "The concubine covered her forehead at the beginning of her life, folded flowers in front of the door, and Lang rode a bamboo horse to make green plums around the bed..."

Suddenly realized that the little girl has reached the age of the first payment.

He lifted it up, but couldn't help but put it down, Zhou Linghuai suppressed the dark tide in his eyes, and smiled, "I'll draw it when I get back, and I'll send it to you tomorrow."

Yu Youyao held her cousin's arm, and put her head on her cousin's shoulder when she tilted her head. "Cousin, you are really good. You can even draw pictures to exorcise ghosts."

Zhou Linghuai tilted his head and saw the little girl put her head on his shoulder, smiling brightly, so he raised his eyes and looked outside the tree. The scorching sun dazzled his eyes, and it was not as bright as the little girl's smile.

Zhou Linghuai brought the plate with blue patterns on the small table to the little girl.

The orange-yellow loquats are plump and beautiful. Seeing Yu Youyao's mouth spit sour water, "It's a loquat. I almost forgot that the Dragon Boat Festival is the time to eat loquats."

After finishing speaking, I took a loquat.

Zhou Linghuai hurriedly picked up the tea and drank it.

Seeing this, Yu Youyao couldn't pass out the loquat that she just got, so she curled her lips, "Hmph, my cousin doesn't like sour food, and I won't force my cousin to eat it, what's the matter?"

Zhou Linghuai held the teacup, but smiled and said nothing.

The little girl will not force him to eat, but as long as she stretches out the loquat and hands it to him, even if he doesn't want to eat it anymore, he can't refuse it.

The loquat is also ripe, with a thin layer of yellow skin that peels off with a light lift, because it has been stored in a well

, After eating it, it was cold, and the taste was sour and sweet, making Yu Youyao's mouth water.

After eating a loquat, Yu Youyao said, "My cousin can't eat sour, so I'll make some Chuanbei loquat honey paste for my cousin someday."

Zhou Linghuai nodded, and then put down the teacup.

Yu Youyao continued to eat loquats.

Zhou Linghuai asked, "How are you going to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Mentioning this, Yu Youyao pouted, "Dragon Boat Festival is a rare event. There is a dragon boat race in the moat every year. It is very lively. In previous years, my family would circle around the moat to watch the dragon boat race together. This year is the year of imperial examinations, and it coincides with the examination of court officials, and there are too many people in Beijing, so it is difficult to go out of the mansion, so I can only live in the mansion."

Of course, the most important thing is that my grandmother is old, and my cousin has difficulty walking, so it is very inconvenient to go out. However, Yu Jianjia sprained her foot and was restrained in disguise. It is impossible for Yang to take her out on a special trip.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the moat was crowded with people, and there was a mixture of fish and dragons. This was no better than a flower festival. It was at someone else's house, so it was not easy to trouble Second Aunt to bring her along.

Zhou Linghuai understood as soon as he heard it, this was just an excuse. .

The real reason is that no one took her along.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
