Chapter 353
"I heard that the third and fourth families are going to Qingyunju together today?" Cai asked casually while taking a routine walk to digest food after dinner.
Although Cai has long been no longer in charge, she can't hide the news from Zhennan Marquis' Mansion. Perhaps even Jiang and Zhen know what they said in Qingyunju. Besides, Jiang and Zhen's trip to Qingyunju is not something that cannot be said. Lin Wan smiled and nodded and said, "The two aunts have always loved Wanwan. Since Wanwan's foot was injured, they are worried that Wanwan is bored. Every now and then, they have to go to Qingyunju to accompany Wanwan to pass the time."
Cai looked at Lin Wan silently, but did not say anything else, but turned the topic to the paintings I had seen before: "Did Wanwan's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting teach Mr. Ji?"
This time, Lin Wan nodded first and shook her head and said, "Wanwan's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were enlightened by Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji has a very high attainment in the three aspects of piano, chess, and calligraphy, but his paintings are relatively average. In order to make Wanwan's paintings come out, Mr. Ji asked Mr. Zeng, who was begging Mr. Qian for guidance for Wanwan."
Lin Wan's words cannot be false but not completely true. Ji Kang is indeed not outstanding in painting, and he has indeed asked Mr. Zeng to give advice to Lin Wan in painting, but Lin Wan's realistic painting technique does not come from Mr. Zeng.
Lin Wan was sure that Cai asked about this, but she was a little curious and would never verify it.
Of course, even if Cai climaxes to verify, since Lin Wan can make her painting appear in front of others, she is not afraid of anyone seeking verification.
When she first learned painting, she had quietly revealed this realistic painting technique. Mr. Zeng also had some superficial discussions with Lin Wan because of this technique, and later even made some similar paintings, but these more realistic paintings never flowed out.
Cai had been to Qingzhou Prefecture. Although he had been in Qingzhou Prefecture for a short time, he had some impression of Master Zeng beside Lord Qian. Now he heard that Lin Wan had painted Master Zeng's guidance, so he looked at Lin Wan in surprise and said, "When I was in Qingzhou Prefecture, I had a relationship with Master Zeng, and it seemed that Qian Zhiming valued it."
Lin Wan nodded: "Sir Zeng is the most useful person around Lord Qian, but Mr. Zeng did not come to the capital with Lord Qian. Before returning to Beijing, Mr. Qian helped Mr. Zeng find the position of magistrate of Beixi County, Qingzhou Prefecture, and now he is an official."
Cai was worried that the long time he left would affect Lin Wan's recovery of his injured foot, so he asked someone to carry a sedan chair to send Lin Wan's sister back to Qingyunju.
After Lin Wan took Lin Yuan away, Cai sighed softly and said, "I used to think Wanwan seemed to be interested in the three boys of the Ye family, but today the third family acted so obviously, but I couldn't see how Wanwan reacted. What did Wanwan think in her heart?"
Madam Qiao pressed her shoulder for Cai and said, "But I think Miss Wan shouldn't be enlightened yet."
"Oh..." Cai sighed long: "The girl has no mother around to teach her, so she is still missing."
Madam Qiao didn't dare to answer this. Luo's family was sent to Jizhou for reflection by Cai's personal message, and it was also the conditions for Cai's return to Beijing.
"It's just that there's no rules, you can't be in a circle!" I soon sighed again.
Madam Qiao even tightened her lips.
Without getting a response from Madam Qiao, Cai did not force herself. She was silent for a moment and patted Madam Qiao's hand, let her sit down in front of her, stared at Madam Qiao and asked, "You think, are you asking the eldest daughter-in-law to take care of Wanwan?"
This time, Madam Qiao knew that she could not avoid it anymore, and pondered for a moment: "Mrs. Hou has a lot of things to do, so it's better to hand it over to the Fourth Lady."
"Zhen? Can it work?" Cai frowned slightly.
Cai naturally knew very well that Zhen had always wanted to have another daughter, and Zhen's love for Lin Wan is obvious to all, but Zhen only has two sons. Can she take care of Lin Wan and give Lin Wan's mother a guide?
"I think the fourth wife should be OK." Madam Qiao paused for a moment and told Cai in detail why she proposed to let the fourth wife guide Lin Wan.
Zhen’s mother’s family has three sisters, all of whom are the same mother. Now the three sisters are happy in marriage. Although this is related to the family’s selection of husbands for them, it is also inseparable from their own efforts.
With such a person guiding Lin Wan, Madam Qiao felt that it was more suitable than Luo's uncontrollable mother.
"Then let's try." Cai nodded.
Starting from the second day, Lin Wan suddenly found that the fourth wife had come to Qingyunju more often and stayed in Qingyunju for a longer time, but the Jiang family came less than before.
However, Lin Wan didn't care too much. Compared to Jiang's family, Lin Wan also prefers the gentle and understanding Zhen family. When they get along with Zhen, at least they don't have to be asked about the Ye family from time to time.
Lin Wan noticed that Jiang's intention to tie a red line to Lin Jing and Ye Shen, and she had some trouble with Jiang's family, but she was still as always.
Perhaps because she was determined to let this matter go with the flow, Lin Wan did not intend to reveal her little thoughts in front of Cai like Ye Shen and others shortly after they passed the imperial examination. She just hoped that Cai would let her go out earlier and let her do what she wanted to do but was delayed for nearly a hundred days due to her foot injury.
Lin Wan knew that Cai did not let her go out because she was considering her, so she was patient and waited for Cai's nod to come that day.
Another year, mid-autumn came, and Lin Wan finally got Cai's nod.
I thought Lin Wan would be impatient to go out, but what surprised Cai was that Lin Wan had no plan to go out to enjoy the lanterns.
The reunion banquet in the mansion ended as in previous years at the third hour of You, and the next program was to watch the lanterns and watch the moon.
This year, due to foot injury, Lin Wan did not interfere in Zhongqiu's arrangement to watch the lanterns.
As in previous years, Zhennan Hou Mansion left a private room in Xiangmanlou and Pinmingxuan, and like in previous years, he also sent invitations to watch lanterns to the Ye family, Mao family, An family, Qian family and other close families.
"Wanwan won't go to see the light?" Cai was naturally surprised to see Lin Wan'an unable to sit still.
After the doctor of the government confirmed that Lin Wan's foot injury had healed, Lin Wan almost every day in order to leave the palace and go to Cai to fight with her, but she was lifted from the ban today but there was no movement?
Lin Wan shook her head and said, "Wanwan plans to stay in the mansion to accompany her grandmother to watch the moon."
"Grandma doesn't need you to accompany you. Come and clean up and follow everyone to Xiangmanlou to watch the lanterns." Cai urged repeatedly.
Lin Wan was unmoved, but she was tired of being in Cai's arms: "Today Wanwan just wants to accompany her grandmother."
Lin Yuan was watching the other sisters go out to watch the lights under the guidance of their parents and brothers. When she heard Lin Wan's words, she suddenly remembered what Lin Wan had told her before. She hurriedly climbed into Cai's arms and raised her little face and said, "Yuan'er also wants to accompany her grandmother to watch the moon! There are also her second brother, second sister-in-law and Xiao An'an!"
