The road to wealth of a peasant widow

Chapter 250 Heartbeat

However, this kind of simplicity is not bad. It is easy to coax him, and life will be less troublesome in the future!

Princess Fuyou thought so.

On the day of rest, Liu Changfu went to Prince An's mansion to get the calligraphy and paintings.

Since there was no other master in the palace, the princess personally came out to entertain the guests.

When Chang Fu received the calligraphy and painting, he could not help but open it and take a look at it on the spot. The princess was also admiring it beside him, and the two of them discussed the brushwork and meaning of the painting.

Although Princess Fuyou has lived in the deep palace for a long time, she has seen countless fine things. Those famous calligraphy and paintings that others dream of obtaining are like treasures to her. Either she has seen them in person, or she has the originals.

Having seen so many good things, his comments were naturally more profound and meaningful, which amazed Changfu.

He felt that it was rare for the princess, as a woman, to have such high attainments in calligraphy and painting appreciation.

However, when I think about the princess's background and family background, it all seems to make sense.

The two discussed these calligraphy and paintings for a long time, and before they knew it, the whole morning had passed. It was not until Changfu suddenly felt hungry and his stomach rumbled that he realized it was already past lunch time.

He quickly put away the painting and bowed to say goodbye.

Originally, I just came here to pick up the painting, but I didn't expect that we had such a good chat that I ended up wasting so much time. It would have been fine if I hadn't been able to eat, but I also caused the princess to go hungry. I really shouldn't have done that!

Princess Fuyou didn't mind, and apologized to him instead: "I'm so sorry, I'm the only one in the house, and I can't invite you to dinner. I'm really not a good host!"

As a woman, it was understandable for her to entertain male guests when there was no one else at home. But if she invited others to dinner, it would be too much!

Changfu naturally said he didn't mind and happily took the paintings home.

Although he was hungry, he was happy in his heart. He felt that it was a great fortune to have the opportunity to appreciate the paintings of famous artists and meet people who shared the same interests as him!

However, it's a pity that the other party is a woman, and it is inconvenient to interact with her. If only the princess was a man, then the two of them would have no worries when interacting!

Changfu thought with some regret!

In the days that followed, Changfu would go straight into his study as soon as he got home from work to admire and copy those paintings. Whenever he understood something, he would happily forget to eat and even dance with joy.

Even when it was time to paint again during another break, he still felt unsatisfied.

However, since it was agreed that it would be returned on this date, I had to return it. It was already very generous of them to lend me such a precious painting, and I couldn't be a dishonest person.

When Changfu went to return the painting, he could not help but tell the princess about what he had gained in the past few days. Unexpectedly, the princess had many similar insights as him. The two of them were so excited when talking that they felt that many subtle points could not be described verbally, so they went to the study and demonstrated by writing with their own hands.

Chang Fu saw the princess writing with his own eyes, and was even more amazed at her level.

Although her writing skills were somewhat lacking due to her frail body and being a woman, the artistic conception she created far surpassed his own, making him feel inferior.

In fact, Princess Fuyou also had a changed impression of Liu Changfu.

According to her investigation, the Liu family was originally an ordinary farming family. Liu Changfu learned to read and write only ten years ago. He probably came into contact with calligraphy and painting only after he became famous. However, his insights in certain areas are indeed quite remarkable.

She could see it herself because she was well-informed. Whether it was the treasures in the royal palace or the paintings collected in the palace, they were all open to her. But the Liu family did not have such a convenience. It was already quite good for this person to have such an understanding.

When returning the painting, she saw that Liu Changfu was reluctant to part with it, so she generously said that she could lend it to him for another month and he could return it then.

But Liu Changfu refused.

He said, "One month is enough. The content and essence of these paintings have been reflected in my heart. There is no need to keep these paintings in my hands any longer. They do not belong to me. The longer they are in my hands, the more I like them, and the more greedy I will become. It is better to return them as soon as possible."

He said this sincerely and truly, which touched Princess Fuyou deeply.

It seems that this person has very good character. He can stick to his original intention and not be seduced by external things. This makes his future life even more worth looking forward to.

He refused to lend any more, and Princess Fuyou didn't say anything else. She just took two chess endgame records and asked him to pass them on to Sui Sui.

"I had someone find this in the library at home. Let Sister Suisui take care of it first. After I enter the palace, I will find other rare books for her."

This was something for his sister, so Changfu naturally couldn't refuse it on her behalf. He readily took it and prepared to give it back to Suisui.

Suisui was very happy after receiving the chess manual, but then he was surprised. When did this young man get to know the princess and have such contact with her that he even helped her carry things!

Out of curiosity, she asked on the spot.

Chang Fu felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told the princess about his interactions with her.

However, the brother and sister were talking in the main hall, with Chen Cui beside them. They seemed to be asking and answering each other nothing special, but Chen Cui felt that something was wrong.

Hasn't Changfu always thought that women were troublesome and troublesome, and always kept his distance from them?

It was for this reason that every time someone proposed marriage, he would refuse, and even avoided those unmarried ladies, for fear that some misunderstanding would involve him and he would not be able to get rid of it. Why did he suddenly treat Princess Fuyou so differently this time?

The princess is also a woman, and a young girl at that. Why doesn't he avoid her, but seems to be getting along well with her?

Chen Cui was confused and asked.

Changfu was stunned at first, feeling as if something in his heart was touched, but then he felt it seemed impossible.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Mother, what are you thinking? What is the status of the princess? What is my status? Why should I avoid her? We are just friends of gentlemen, just talking about books and paintings. What's there to avoid? Besides, there is no way she would like me!"

When he said the last sentence, his voice was very low, as if he was mumbling to himself.

However, Chen Cui was different from Suisui who was immersed in joy. She had been observing her youngest son carefully and naturally took his last words to heart.

She looked at Changfu's face, which seemed to be happy but also sad, and she had some understanding: this child was probably moved, and he still liked Princess Fuyou!

However, this is a bit difficult to deal with. The gap in status between their family and the royal palace is too big. Although the other person's parents are both dead, they are of royal blood after all, and the empress dowager in the palace is in charge. This marriage may not be so easy to settle!
