Qin Yuan also looked over.
Then they saw Master Gu wearing a straw hat and a coarse cloth shirt, squatting in the shade of a tree.
Hearing Lord Gu call, he slowly got up, walked into the training ground, and said, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, I heard from Sixteen that you were going to ride horses here, so I came to see."
His clothes were stained with various colors of paint, giving him a somewhat unconventional and rebellious air.
Since Lord Gu returned to Wutong Garden for a meal, Qin Yuan had not seen Sixth Master Gu for several days, and she did not expect him to be dressed like this now.
Is this still the impeccably dressed Sixth Master Gu?
Qin Yuan looked at Master Gu with confusion.
Gu Jinghui asked, "Why are you dressed like this today? Don't you have any clean clothes to change into?"
Lord Gu looked at his sixth brother, who was used to living a life of luxury, with shock.
Is it because the sixth sister-in-law was so busy taking care of the children that she forgot to prepare a change of clothes for the sixth brother?
Gu Jinghui said, "Well, why don't you go sit under the shade of the tree for a while?"
The Marquis asked, "Does Eighth Brother wish to paint?"
Although Lord Gu was willing, he still said, "Then let Eighteen go with him."
Lord Gu, standing to the side, also chimed in. His previously suppressed inferiority complex resurfaced. "I'm good at everything that scholars excel at," he thought. He listlessly fiddled with the reins until Qin Yuan patiently exhaled a breath. Only then did Gu Jinghui begin to exchange pleasantries with Liang Rong, saying, "Eighth Sister-in-law, let him and Eighth Brother ride first. You can watch from the side."
Gu Shiba followed closely, and the Marquis also wanted to make a great impression, so he only ran a quick lap around the edge. When you came back, Da Dong hadn't even boarded the snow-covered platform yet, and he was waiting for you with a big smile on his face.
I don't have any close friends, and I can even boast that I've ridden Liang Rong's horse, and that it was Li Nu who led me on that ride.
Da Dong looked timidly at Lord Gu.
After saying that, the Marquis looked at Sixth Master Gu pleadingly.
Lord Gu was taken aback upon hearing this. He took a few steps back, reached out and helped the Marquis onto the horse, asking, "Is what Da Dong said true?"
Gu Jinghui paused for a moment, then said, "Sister-in-law Ba is absolutely right."
The bad guy seemed to have a vague feeling that it was a bit strange that the myna bird wasn't lit.
The Marquis sat on Qin Yuan's back, holding the reins with his hands and squeezing the horse's flanks with his feet, making it run fast.
The Marquis laughed and said, "His brother knows the temperament of horses very well. If I were to paint a horse, I would definitely paint it very badly."
Da Dong waved to the Marquis from afar, his big face full of smugness. "Li Nu, Madam, you rode in the Taxue today, sharing a ride with Liang Rong. Now you know what it means to have been unlucky for eight lifetimes and never forget it."
Gu Jinghui felt as if he had met a kindred spirit and said, "It's too difficult to find a painting of a fine horse. So you're thinking that since you don't have a horse at home, you should look at them often to capture their habits and spirit. That way, you'll definitely be able to make one. May I also show you the painting that Eighth Sister-in-law made?"
The Marquis laughed and said, "Would you like Li Nu to take him for another ride?"
Gu Jinghui also laughed and said, "My eighth brother has always liked those things. I hate swords and spears, and I hate arranging troops. When I'm a young master at home and don't have time, I often go hunting with the sons of other generals and captains."
Gu Shiba was called over and stayed close by her side. If Qin Yuan was wrong, he would quickly protect her.
The Marquis smiled and said, "You just amuse yourself in your spare time. You practice calligraphy in your spare time and paint when you're in a good mood. You paint not only orchids and lotuses, but also flowers, birds and figures in meticulous brushwork. That's what I do. If Eighth Master wants to paint horses, you'll have to copy all kinds of fine horse paintings."
The Marquis reached out and gently smoothed the stray hairs by Sixth Master Gu's ear, saying softly, "It's just a matter of right and wrong. Your family wasn't originally a family of doctors. It was only because of a misfortune that your mother married into the Qin family. You've read some medical books since you were young, and your dowry didn't include many medical books left by your family. So how could you possibly know how to make these incense?"
The Marquis said, "It seems that Eighth Brother is going to paint a picture of a fine horse. If you are good at one of the four arts—flowers and birds, figures, horses, or landscapes—you can make friends through painting. If Eighth Brother wants to paint both people and horses, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than painting just one."
Gu Jinghui: "..."
After settling things down, Liang Rongze jumped off Ta Xue and grabbed Da Dong, pulling him off the horse.
Indeed, I can boast so much that everyone knows that I, Nie Dong, rode on the Marquis of Dingbei's "Treading Snow with Footprints a Thousand Miles Away," and that the Marquis of Dingbei even carried me on it.
The Marquis said, "You can't dismount yet, and Liang Rong is docile. If you want to ride it, go for a while."
The Marquis glanced at Marquis Gu and then chimed in.
Sixth Master Gu immediately said, "That's right. After hearing what Third Sister-in-law said that day, I was thinking about whether to attach a few paintings of flowers that I usually grow to the end of the poetry collection. I can't do large paintings yet, but I can still paint a few flowers. Now that the mansion is under lockdown, it's not easy to buy those paints. I had a lot of raw materials stored at home, so I made some myself. I was afraid of wasting my old clothes, so I changed into coarse cloth clothes."
Liang Rongze: "?"
The myna bird is no longer with its sister-in-law.
Lord Gu turned his head and glanced at Qin Yuan, who was sitting on her horse, as if asking her if that was the case.
Da Dongren was laughing and shouting, extremely happy.
Seeing my expression, the Marquis knew that Gu Jinghui was determined to make a decision, so he said, "How about Eighth Brother tries them all first, and choose the one you are best at the next day? That will only take a day."
Gu Jinghui: "..."
Gu Jingjun smiled slightly and said, "Third Brother, I'm painting, so this is the most suitable outfit for me. I can't let such fine clothes go to waste."
You had been planning to reveal your background at the right time, and Da Dong's words inadvertently gave you that opportunity.
Gu Jinghui said, "Sister-in-law Ba is right. You have to watch them ride horses for a long time to be able to paint them accurately."
What's going on then?
Liang Rongze greeted him with a look of surprise and said, "Yuan'er, he is really smart. Eighth Brother took several days to learn to ride a horse, but he learned so quickly."
Lord Gu turned around and asked you sullenly, "Where is he?"
Gu Jinghui nodded upon hearing this and said, "Eighth Sister-in-law is absolutely right. You really know how to choose. I do know what Eighth Sister-in-law is good at painting."
After driving Liang Rongze away, Lord Gu was quite disappointed. I took Qin Yuan for another walk, and just then we ran into Gu Shiba and Ta Xue walking over.
Here we go again, here we go again.
Only then did Master Gu feel relieved, and asked again, "Why did he come to ride a horse? What is he doing sitting under the shade of a tree?"
Qin Yuan smiled and asked, "Is Sixth Brother tinkering with paints by himself?"
Gu Jinghui said, "Look how bad they are riding horses."
Lord Gu muttered from the side, "If that's what his eighth sister-in-law said, you should try it yourself."
Da Dong said proudly, "Of course, your senior sister... is exceptionally intelligent. Just by watching Master perform acupuncture, she has learned a significant portion of the family's acupuncture techniques. Master said that if senior sister were to study medicine, she would probably be a reincarnation of Hua Tuo."
Sixth Master Gu added, "Why don't you find a master to teach you? Why don't you just let his Eighth Sister-in-law guide you into the field?"
The Marquis said gently, "Liang Rong, let him take Da Dong for one more ride. We'll be heading back in two days."
