Very good, I didn’t expect this girl to be so persistent.
But on second thought, Su Changan immediately asked: "So you want to teach me how to use a knife? I think it's okay! I think I'd look pretty cool holding a knife."
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "I can't teach you. I'm just telling you that a knife is more handsome than a sword."
Su Changan was a little anxious: "You've been dithering for so long, why don't you teach me a word! You're an eighth-rank master, but you're even narrow-minded than that fat kid Su Zhaoxin."
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan and said, "Your Majesty has not ordered me to teach you, so I cannot teach you."
Su Changan was unhappy and blurted out: "Why is she so nosy!"
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan without saying anything, but her silence was more powerful than words, as if she was saying, "How can she be so lenient?"
Su Changan was helpless, because he thought of...
The empress is really capable of taking care of so many things.
Yan Ruyu glanced at Su Wan'er who had already sorted out the calligraphy and ran over, and said softly, "If His Majesty agrees, I can teach you."
After saying that, he thought for a while and added: "You can also ask my mother. If my mother agrees, I can also teach you the sword of our Yan family."
Hear this!
Su Changan decided in his heart that he had to appease the empress as much as possible.
But thinking of Yan Ruyu's mother, the commander-in-chief of the Chixia Army and the Huanglong Guard, the personal guard of the Imperial Empress, said: "Why do you listen to your mother so much?"
Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment, as if hesitating whether to answer or not, but after a long while she said softly, "If you don't obey, you will be beaten."
After a moment of silence, Su Changan patted Yan Ruyu on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad. I understand how you feel. But if you think about it, this is actually quite good. At least you still have a mother to beat you, right?"
Yan Ruyu was stunned and immediately thought of Su Changan's life experience.
But what should I say?
Su Wan'er has already run over.
And right at the gate of the yard, Maomao walked in with a bunch of things in his arms, followed by five servants of the Su mansion.
Look at those things.
Including the cat, there are six people.
Four people were holding the things Su Changan wanted, and the other two were holding baskets full of medicinal herbs.
Su Changan narrowed his eyes and looked at Maomao.
You took a lot of medicinal materials in my name, didn't you?!
……
Since the ingredients have been brought here, there is naturally no need to wait any longer.
Let's put aside the matter of learning martial arts for now, the most important thing right now is to make the empress happy, that's the big deal.
When I got to the kitchen, I saw that the charcoal and firewood on the ground were still a little hot, so I knocked them a few times to get the cool parts down.
I picked it up, found a piece of paper and scribbled a few lines on it.
Not the right one, but good enough.
After all, Su Changan didn't study painting specifically in his previous life. He was just curious at the beginning, so he learned a little bit of sketching and basic comic operations.
The drawing is not good, but it's good enough.
He clumsily took the carbon black and began to draw sparsely on the paper, recalling the appearance of the empress.
On the side, Su Wan'er, Yan Ruyu, Maomao and others watched curiously.
The three people have already seen that Su Changan is going to paint, although they don't quite understand what kind of painting method this is, but.
Looking at the woman who appeared on the paper, although she was not very good, she looked realistic.
but
Immediately, Yan Ruyu and Maomao were a little stunned, because when they looked at the woman under the carbon black Su Changan, she looked like an empress?
Especially the teardrop mole that Su Changan deliberately drew at the corner of his eye.
Su Wan'er had never seen the empress, but she felt that her elder sister had used such a strange way to draw a woman. Although it looked a little strange and the lines were crooked, she always felt that she was a little pretty.
Although in the girl's opinion, she is still not as pretty as her older sister.
just
The girl was a little confused as to who this person was and why she asked her elder sister to draw him like this.
It didn't take long.
Su Changan looked at the "Empress" he had drawn and said with some satisfaction: "Well, not bad. Perfect."
Yan Ruyu was already exhausted from watching it, but she was sure that the painting was of the empress. After all, it had all the characteristics that an empress should have, but...it didn't look like her.
Maomao couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he went back to mess with the herbs he had just brought.
Su Wan'er looked at the painting and originally thought it was pretty, but now at the end, she felt that the little bit of beauty was gone, and it felt even weirder.
Yan Ruyu already knew that Su Changan was probably going to send the empress away, so she said, "It's better not to."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his work: "What's wrong? Isn't this good?"
Yan Ruyu was helpless, but still said truthfully: "I'm afraid of that one, and I'm even angrier."
After all, Su Wan'er is here, so some words cannot be said clearly, but Su Changan can also hear it.
But
Before Su Changan could say anything, Su Wan'er already knew that this was a gift from her elder sister. Although the girl was wondering who this girl was who could have such a great person like her elder sister paint her for her.
Can.

PS: The second update will be posted later
Chapter 35: A Woman Who Wants to Control Her Life
The little girl looked at the painting, then looked at her older sister, and said, "I also think it's better not to give it as a gift."
Hearing this, Su Changan frowned, turned his head to look at his own painting, looked at it for a while, and then reached out to retouch the teardrop mole, making the spot rounder, and then said: "This is not bad."
Yan Ruyu rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk anymore. Whatever, His Majesty is angry with you anyway, you two can do whatever you want.
Su Wan'er looked at her eldest sister and said, "Second sister draws very well. How about we look for her?"
Su Changan looked at Su Wan'er, then at Yan Ruyu who was leaving with her eyes rolled, and finally at his masterpiece, and sighed: "Hey, you don't understand."
After expressing his feelings, he put down the painting in his hand, picked up the pen beside him and thought about writing something, but then he thought that he was not very good at ancient poetry.
So I wrote a sentence on the paper very straightforwardly.
Su Wan'er wanted to go and see, but was stopped by Su Chang'an and did not see the Qing Dynasty.
Su Changan looked at Su Wan'er and said, "Don't watch if it's not suitable for children."
Su Wan'er was puzzled, but still nodded vigorously. If her elder sister didn't allow her to watch it, she wouldn't watch it. What her elder sister said was right.
Watching the ink on the paper dry, Su Changan carefully put away the drawing paper. After all, it was drawn with carbon black and could be easily erased, so he had to put it away carefully.
After everything was done, he looked at Su Wan'er and said, "Okay, this is over, go get something to eat."
Su Wan'er nodded.
But when it comes to food, Su Changan finally remembered Su Zhaoxin and looked down at Su Wan'er: "Where is your brother?"
Su Wan'er said, "I got beaten and am lying down at home."
After saying that, he blinked his eyes, held up three fingers and said, "I got beaten three times! I got beaten when I came back last night because I made a scene at the poetry meeting yesterday, so my great uncle beat me. Then in the evening, when my great uncle came back from grandpa's place, my great uncle beat my brother again. When I got up in the morning, my brother said he wanted to recite his lessons, so he recited the phrase 'The Divine Turtle is Thin' that you recited last time in front of my great uncle, and then my great uncle got angry, so I got beaten for the third time. When he was beating me, I said that you taught him, and my great uncle got even angrier after hearing that, and beat me even harder."
"After that, my uncle punished me and made me study in the yard. When I came out, I saw him writing something in his hidden notebook with a pen."
Small notebook?
Is there something like a little notebook for holding grudges?
Su Changan was confused.
Su Wan'er looked at Su Chang'an and said, "I'll bring it to Big Sister next time. It's very interesting. And my brother doesn't know that I've read it. He thought it was hidden under the bed and no one would know about it, but my aunt and I know about it."
Su Changan stretched out his hand and pinched Su Wan'er's cheek, "I'll make you honey grapefruit tea."
Su Wan'er blinked her eyes. This was food she had never heard of before, but everything her elder sister made was delicious, so she nodded immediately: "Yes!!"
……
Present
It was in the yard of Su Zimu and his wife.
Su Zimu naturally went to the Secretariat to work.
So she was not in the yard at the moment. Only Su Liu was sitting next to Su Zhaoxin, holding the ointment in her hand and carefully helping Su Zhaoxin apply it.
just
Looking at Su Zhaoxin's round butt which had become red but still round because of being beaten, Su Liu wanted to laugh.
On the contrary, it was Su Zhaoxin's side.
Lying on the bed, with a serious expression, he looked back at his aunt, wanting to say something but stopping himself, but in the end he couldn't help but said, "Aunt, I think my elder sister wants to hurt me."
Su Liu had heard Su Zhaoxin speak no less than eight times, but she ignored him and just applied the medicine.
Su Zhaoxin continued, "It's impossible for her to be jealous of me. I see everything clearly. My eldest sister is a little bit better than me, so it's absolutely impossible for her to be jealous of me. But... because of this, I can't understand why my eldest sister wants to harm me."
Su Liu was helpless and said softly, "If your elder sister hurts you, it will be your grandfather who beats you, not your uncle."
Su Zhaoxin shook his head: "You don't understand. Big sister is a nice person. She feeds me and talks to me reasonably. Overall, she is very pleasing to the eye. But I just feel that she is mean. She was the one who mentioned the allergy at the poetry meeting, so why did she hit me alone? And she was the one who taught me the poem, but I memorized it. Why did she hit me? I think she wanted to hurt me on purpose. But I just can't figure out why she wanted to hurt me. Am I really better than her in some way? Is she afraid that I will become famous, so she wants to get rid of me as soon as possible?"
Su Liu shook her head and ignored him. She just looked at the bruises on her buttocks and blamed her husband in her heart for being so cruel. Even if the old man had said to beat her, he couldn't have been so cruel. A scholar was powerless and would be the most cruel if a fight really broke out!
Su Zhaoxin looked at Su Liushi and asked, "Do you agree to this?"
