Chapter 132 The Person in the Painting

When dry wood was added to the raging fire, the rising orange light rushed to the charcoal-black bottom of the teapot. Water vapor surged and white smoke dissipated in the air. It was Xinda's first time to make tea, and his technique was still a little clumsy. He had to avoid the direction of the water vapor several times.

Xinda wanted to seek advice from his second brother, but Chen Heng was also a layman. Although the latter read a lot of books, he rarely read books like the Tea Classic.

It's not that he disdains it, but Chen Heng claims to be a "bull-drinking school". All the rules are meaningless to him. He likes to wait for the tea to cool down and drink it all in one gulp.

"Just boil the water." Noticing his brother's abnormality, Chen Heng raised his head from the documents in his hand, turned around and smiled and ordered.

There are so many details about tea leaves of two cents and one tael.

"Drinking tea is about who you drink with, not the quality of the tea."

Poor people who study can drink cheap tea so confidently. People, after all, still need to study.

"Oh." Xinda nodded. He has been following Chen Heng for some time.

This young man who just left Shanxi Village is also gradually opening his horizons. He thinks Chen Heng is right, but when he thinks about it carefully, it is a bit nonsense.

If it really gets out, those high-ranking families who follow the rules will probably be so angry that they will point at the noses of the two brothers and scold them for being vulgar.

Xinda respects Chen Heng very much in his heart, and this feeling does not appear for no reason.

There is not only trust and obedience in blood relationship, but also gratitude for his many cares, and even more respect for his brother's knowledge and character.

When Chen Heng wrote "Public Security Memorial", Xinda was waiting by the side.

Some things, Chen Heng did low-key and obscure. But Xinda saw them all, and felt the difference of his second brother.

However, his second brother is a man who does big things. He has no time to study such small things, but he can check and fill in the gaps.

Xinda was secretly happy thinking on this side, while Chen Heng was still busy peeling watermelon seeds. This kind of cheap snack is most suitable for eating with tea.

Thinking that there might be a lot of people drinking tea later. He also took the opportunity to do some trivial things while reading documents.

The camp has been maintained until now, and everything is on track.

There are not many things that can make Chen Heng worry. As the commander of many students, he doesn't have to think too much except dealing with some emergency matters.

He still keeps the habit of coming every day, which is more symbolic.

Those refugees who escaped are not three-year-old children who know nothing.

Where to fetch water and where to build toilets, they know better than students who are ignorant of the world.

We must believe in the wisdom of the people and give full play to their own abilities, so that we can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But if you say that the appearance of students is useless, it is not entirely true. As half representatives of the government office, their daily appearance in the camp itself represents the government office's concern for the refugees.

What the students can do now is to maintain this lost and regained order.

"The best and fastest way to do a good job is for everyone to do their own job and do their own job well."

Is this what Lao Tzu meant by 'governing a country is like cooking a small fish'?

Chen Heng thought this topic was very interesting and wrote it on paper. He also wrote his questions and thoughts aside. He was going to take it as the next direction of reading.

Reading with questions, maybe this is what it means.

Perhaps he was a little tired of reading, and the graceful sound of 'When will he pull the red string' happened to come from a distance. Chen Heng raised his head and looked at the lively crowd in the distance.

Among the fading figures, in the interlaced shadows, two bright and beautiful figures standing side by side were faintly revealed. Sometimes they raised their sleeves to cover their lips and whispered, and sometimes they laughed together for fun words. The atmosphere was very cheerful and relaxed.

Xue Ke was in a bad situation. He had no time to watch operas or listen to music. He always paid attention to the movements around him, fearing that someone would come up and bump into his own sister.

So, male compatriots, never go shopping with two opposite sexes at the same time.

It's very tiring, you can't control it.

Chen Heng couldn't help but find it interesting and fun.

When he was reading in his previous life, this woman named Yinglian had a close relationship with the Xue family.

As a result, because of his arrival, she was involved with the second branch of the Xue family.

Should I say that fate is strange, or should I sigh that fate is destined?

Chen Heng didn't know. He crossed his hands in front of his chest, leaned back slightly, and his eyes fell on the figures in the crowd from time to time, and then looked at the scenery around him.

A dazzling ray of sunlight came out from the front, and the thin snow melted faster. The coolness brought by the snow was brought to the girl's face by the cool breeze, and a little white mist drifted along the girl's lips.

People have a love of beauty and a desire to compare beauty. When two beautiful paintings are placed in front of you, it is understandable to compare them in your heart. As long as you don't force a distinction between the two, it is all about elegance and self-enjoyment.

It should be said that it is a bit unfair to Baoqin to compare her with Yinglian at this age. Yinglian is already over fifteen years old, and it is the age when the buds bloom. She is taller than Baoqin, and standing next to the latter, she suppresses the latter.

Although Yinglian's graceful figure is covered by men's clothes, a jade belt still outlines the woman's slender waist. Looking down from here, you can see a pair of slender and straight legs. Other parts cannot be seen, only the beautiful hair in the crown makes Yinglian's profile clear.

As a future artist, Xue Biao once taught Chen Heng a set of techniques for appreciating beauty. For beauties in this world, first look at appearance, secondly look at bones, and thirdly look at charm.

The so-called Shen Yun is like a freehand painting. Some people have the beauty of opening and closing, while others are like the beauty of late chrysanthemums under the autumn moon. Each has its own beauty.

Chen Heng is not as particular about appreciation of aesthetics as Xue Biao, so he can only roughly understand charm as temperament.

He has seen Baoqin dressed as the bright moon, and also seen Daiyu riding a deer in the forest and singing the flute.

Only this Yinglian is really hard to describe. Her temperament is so complex and special, with a natural sense of romance and innocence hidden in her ignorant eyes.

But to lump them all into the category of "I feel pity for you" would easily overlook Yinglian's perseverance gained through suffering.

The vitality that is like the grass on the roadside in spring makes people feel even more extraordinary after the rain and wind blow.

Just like the smiling lips that the other party often raises, it seems like a gentle force is stirring in it.

This is a woman who will smile at the sufferings of fate and then turn around.

It is definitely not comparable to ordinary rouge powder.

Chen Heng admired Yinglian, but couldn't help but look at Baoqin. At this moment, Bao Qin also turned his head to look at Yinglian. The two people's eyes met inexplicably and separated without any trace.

Chen Heng thought that with so many people blocking him, the other party wouldn't be able to notice, so he boldly continued to wait and see.

The best explanation for Baoqin's beauty is that her appearance is like the bright moon in the sky. Regardless of whether the moon is full or not, all you need to do is praise it when you see it. Impeccable itself means a beautiful city and a beautiful country.

It's just that her beauty is currently concentrated on the pair of eyes under the snow-white forehead. Those bright eyes are extremely peaceful and intelligent - just smart, not worried.

This beauty is still slightly inferior to the current Yinglian. After all, Yinglian already has seven or eight points of femininity, while Baoqin is still a little girl. I'm afraid it will take another five or six years before Baoqin, who has just grown up, can be in the same place as Yinglian.

Suddenly, Chen Heng noticed that Bao Qin's face was slightly red.

He couldn't say why, but he just had an intuition that Bao Qin seemed to know that he was looking at her.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng looked away in panic, pretending to be calm and picked up the document to read.

Commenting on your best friend's sister behind your back is never a good thing.

Sin, sin, Amitabha.

When Chen Heng turned his attention to the objects on the table, Xinda had already made tea and raised his hand to summon Xue Biao and others.

Several people gathered together, gathered around the fire pot, and listened to the crackling sound, which was a unique winter leisure experience.

Their seats were also interesting. Xinda stayed on Chen Heng's left hand, playing with the refreshments. Yinglian sat directly on the other side of Chen Heng with a carefree attitude. Everyone was quite accepting of this and would not be surprised. Bao Qin accompanied Xue Biao and sat directly opposite Chen Heng.

"Sister said that after drinking tea in a while, we will go back to the academy." As soon as Zhen Yinglian sat down, she held her chin with both hands, her tone was a little low, as if she was regretting this pleasant leisure time.

Chen Heng wanted to laugh when he heard this. He handed the tea made by Xinda to the other party and said softly, "The academy is also as lively as the academy."

Zhen Yinglian couldn't say anything. She felt happy when she heard Chen Heng's gentle tone. She reached out to take the teacup and blew it carefully, her eyes falling on Chen Heng from time to time.

Because he often helps the family with housework, Chen Heng himself is not a picky eater and eats every meal. This makes him taller than his peers like Xue Zhu.

Although the skin color is not fair, it still has its own advantages. Viewed from the side, Chen Heng has a straight nose, a high forehead, slightly frowning clear eyes, staring at the Xue brothers and sisters opposite him, and his smiling lips are covered with subtle soft hairs, making him look even more youthful and cute.

All these things gathered in Yinglian's eyes, making her shine more and more brightly as she looked at them. The young man in front of him shows the joy of health and happiness and the unique beauty of young people, mixed with the rich and adaptive charm of Chen Heng's two generations, and it is not a beautiful painting.

She couldn't help but be fascinated by it, and felt that everything in the world was just right.

"Sister Lin is still in the academy. It's hard to leave her behind. Let's have fun outside." Bao Qin explained with a smile. Chun Yan helped her with the hot tea.

Regarding the friendship between girls, Chen Heng and Xue Biao did not intend to comment. I just thought that if I went out to play with Jiang Yuanbai and others behind my back, my friends would not let them sleep peacefully.

"That's true." Xue Biao nodded with great feeling.

"Bring her some food when you go back." Chen Heng felt that he still knew Sister Lin, "The hibiscus cake and the cold fragrant cake are both good." Lin Daiyu's taste was salty, and his tea today was just light enough to quench her thirst. "I'll bring some tea back later. ”

"Did Chunyan bring a water cup?" Baoqin also thought Chen Heng's suggestion was good, so he asked the maid.

"I brought it, miss."

A few people chatted for a while, and the topic turned to Xue Biao's paintings. Chen Heng was also very curious about this, "You have been studying with Master Xu for so long, why haven't you shown your paintings to us?"

"What do you know? Everything I draw now is just a study. If I take it out, it will destroy my future signboard. I usually burn it directly after I finish the painting."

Xue Biao picked up the air of a new artist, which made Chen Heng feel pity for a while. Such good drawing paper needs to be burned after finishing it.

Art is indeed not something that poor people can learn.

Baoqin was about to explain the hidden truth to Chen Heng, but Yinglian, who was standing beside her, suddenly handed the teacup in her hand to the person beside her and said frankly, "I'll blow it cold, drink it quickly."

Yinglian had been in contact with abducted children since she was a child. If she wanted to be good to someone, she couldn't help but show some of the attitude of caring for people in the past. She didn't know how to express this feeling, so she hid it in every little bit of care.

She didn't understand what it meant to like, but she just wanted to be good to Chen Heng, to watch him talk and laugh.

Xue Ke and Baoqin on the opposite side were shocked. Nowadays, which woman is not well-behaved and lives a decent life? When have they ever seen such a bold behavior?

If Jiang Yuanbai and Qian Dayou were here, they would definitely have a lot in common with them. This girl is so innocent in everything she does, which makes it difficult for people to interfere and criticize.

Chen Heng looked at the teacup in front of him, and then at the girl's expectant eyes. After a little hesitation, he reached out to take it with a normal look, and then casually took the fruit plate, pointing to the melon seeds he peeled, "You guys eat some of this too, I peeled it myself before, I was so tired"

"Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha, it's a great honor to be able to eat something peeled by Brother Heng himself." Xue Ke continued awkwardly, and just after he finished speaking, he felt that what he said was really nonsense.

Xinda felt depressed, no way, this cup of tea in my hand is also for my second brother.

You are really my good brother. Since the first time I met you, I have determined that you can be a friend for life. Chen Heng blinked at Xue Ke, trying hard to hold back a smile.

Zhen Yinglian was completely unaware of the impact of her actions. She just picked up the melon seeds happily and put them in her mouth. The corners of her eyes curved up, as if expressing the deliciousness of the food.

After the few people drank tea in a hurry, Xue Ke and Chen Heng couldn't wait to send Baoqin and Yinglian to the carriage. When the carriage drove into the city, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"This Miss Zhen is really bold."

"Ha." Listening to his friend's sigh, Chen Heng sighed subtly, not knowing how to evaluate it.

…………

…………

In the carriage on the way back, Baoqin looked at Yinglian, who was in a good mood, and wanted to teach her about secular etiquette, but seeing Yinglian's raised mouth, as happy as a child, she couldn't help but fall into silence.

With the other party's natural and bold behavior, and herself who was bound by rules and regulations, who would be more comfortable?

Baoqin's mind was originally smart, and Qianqian's knot was hidden in her heart. Now there was another reference, which made her fall into a difficult thinking.

After a little thought in her heart, Baoqin decided to try to suggest: "Sister, in the future, when there are many people, it is better not to do the previous things too much."

"Ah?" Yinglian was a little curious. She just didn't have much contact with the outside world, which didn't mean she was stupid.

After hearing Baoqin's words, she knew that her actions just now were a little inappropriate, and hurriedly asked the reason.

Baoqin patiently explained the problem to her, saying nothing more and nothing less, and only explained some important points.

She was afraid of hurting Yinglian's innocent nature, but if she really didn't know anything, she would inevitably cause trouble and suffer for it if she continued to live in the world.

Yinglian listened for a long time before she understood that there were such rules, and she couldn't help but secretly annoyed and said: "I just thought that if you want to be good to someone, you should do it, but I didn't expect there are such rules."

"It's okay, sister, don't blame yourself." Baoqin hurriedly comforted the other party, "Just avoid people, the world always likes to gossip, it doesn't matter if it's private."

Baoqin said sincerely, if it's possible, if everything is not so coincidental. She also hopes that she can be as bold and free as Yinglian.

When you think of something or someone, you dare to say it and do it. How free it should be.

"Will it not cause trouble for him?" Yinglian asked timidly.

Baoqin smiled and shook her head. She knew in her heart that her position was a little delicate.

The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. The speech just now was also to prevent Sister Yinglian from suffering losses in the future.

If she said more, her own thoughts would become embarrassing.

How can people hide their thoughts? Thousands of words are not as good as silence.

What's more, she and Daiyu are still sisters.

This makes people feel embarrassed.

Alas, this girl dares to hide even her sighs in her heart. Her face was calm as usual, and she only hid her hands in her sleeves, so that people could not see the strength of her grip.

After the two of them returned to the academy, Baoqin said goodbye to Yinglian. She handed the tea brewed by Chen Heng and the snacks she bought to Daiyu alone, and the latter really showed a look of joy.

"Sister, come and see the article I just wrote." Lin Daiyu showed Baoqin the article she wrote in the morning while eating cakes.

One of them is Xiaoxiangzi, and the other is Yanxiake. Both are peerless villains registered in Jing'an Literary Society. Many students in the academy have received their sharp comments.

Baoqin picked up the article with a smile, and after just a few glances, she exclaimed: "Sister Lin, tell me the details of the story."

"Hahaha." Daiyu laughed proudly, stretched out her hand and pulled Baoqin to sit in front of her, "This person is called Shuiyi, and she also knows my brother."

"Please sit down, I will tell you slowly."

Hahahahahahaha, I'm telling you secretly, I have been getting +1+1 experience points on my head recently, I feel that I will soon break through the level 1.5 and be promoted to LV2, and I will be able to write better stories soon.
