Chapter 176 It’s Not Without Benefits
Yes, if you want to live comfortably in this era, it all depends on the attitude of the person on the throne.
For Shen Qingqian, it would be best to stay away from the palace struggles. Unfortunately, she came here too late. Master Shen and his three sons were all beheaded. The new emperor will definitely not easily forget that Master Shen chose the wrong side. The Shen family still has a long way to go in the future.
Lin was right. By taking this opportunity to see the new emperor's attitude towards the Shen family, they can better adjust their mentality and expectations and prepare for the future.
Although this matter involves certain risks for the Shen family, it is not completely without benefits.
First of all, everyone will know from now on that there are two people in the Shen family who can draw manufacturing diagrams. One is the eldest son Shen Xiao, and the other is the sixth daughter Shen Qingqian. Moreover, both the brother and the sister are not bad.
Secondly, with the two of them, whether it was the exiles before or the current group of people, or even the people in the Hubei army, they would all look up to the Shen family. After all, who knows when the new emperor will suddenly remember the person who drew the two important agricultural tools?
Next, the Shen family can use this incident to understand the new emperor’s attitude towards the Shen family and point out the direction for the Shen family’s future.
After the matter was settled and the family had dinner, Shen Xiao invited Shen Qingqian to their small home.
"Sixth sister, the sooner the better. Let's start learning tonight." Shen Xiao got ready, waiting for Shen Qingqian to teach him how to draw.
Shen Qingqian burst out laughing, "Although your enthusiasm for learning is worthy of praise, but sister-in-law, Qin brother and Jin sister are still here, you can't learn it..."
Xiao Lin, Shen Qin and Shen Jin were in a place separated by a straw curtain. Shen Qingqian didn't think this was a good place to study.
"This..." Shen Xiao frowned, "Nowhere else in the house is suitable either."
Shen Qingqian interrupted him with a smile, "I've already thought about it. Let's go to Brother Cheng's place next door. Brother Cheng once asked me why the things on the drawings looked so real. Since I want to teach you, I might as well talk to him about it."
Dajin has no concept of sketching or three-dimensional painting. It mainly focuses on ink painting, and pays more attention to form and meaning.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sixth Sister." Chen Xiao clapped his hands and smiled, obviously thinking that this was a good idea.
The brother and sister packed up their things and ran to the next door to start their own family.
When Ling Yun saw that it was Shen Qingqian who came, he hurriedly welcomed her in.
"It's a good thing you came early. I was so bored that I wanted to ride my mule out for a run." Ling Yun said as he poured tea for the two of them.
Compared with the Shen family, which has a large and diverse population, the Cheng family is obviously managed quite well by Ling Yun.
Before going to the city, Ling Yun bought some daily necessities for his home. After obtaining Sheng Ze's consent, he also bought a set of tables and chairs from the opposite yard at a high price.
When Shen Qingqian and the others arrived, they saw Sheng Ze sitting at the table, reading a book in his hand.
However, as soon as they entered the room, Sheng Ze quickly put the book away, so Shen Qingqian couldn't see clearly what book he was reading.
Shen Xiao explained his purpose and said with a bow, "Third Brother Cheng, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Brother Shen, you're too polite. I'm also very interested in Sixth Sister's painting style. I should be the one thanking you." Sheng Ze said with a gentle smile.
Shen Qingqian was speechless at their politeness to each other, "Let me remind you two, if we don't start now, the sun will be rising soon."
"Then let's get started." Shen Xiao sat down first.
Sheng Ze asked Shen Qingqian to sit down first before he sat down.
"I won't talk about the basics, let's start from here."
