In Bianliang, ladies usually get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and they can get married at the age of fifteen. A ten-year-old girl is already quite young.

Zhao Die'er is already ten years old. A ten-year-old girl's body has not yet grown, but she has already begun to show off her beauty.

Today, Zhao Die'er is wearing a small satin coat, her petite body is wrapped in furry fox fur, and her face is bright and clean.

There was no snow in Bianliang this year, and it was the first time for Ning Fan to meet Zhao Dieer when there was no snow.

Ten years have passed, and Ning Fan's appearance has become that of a thirty-year-old man, and his eyes have become deeper. The moment he saw Zhao Die'er, his eyes softened, and he smiled, "Oh? Isn't this Die'er?"

"Die'er has seen Ning Shishu. Has Ning Shishu gone to Bianhe River to enjoy the scenery again? Unfortunately, there is no snow in Bianliang this year, and the plum blossoms have not bloomed. Without the company of plum blossoms, I think I will feel a little lonely after drinking Uncle Shi's wine.

..."

Zhao Dieer smiled shyly, lowered her head, her black hair hung down like a waterfall, and her voice was as soft and sweet as a waxy one.

Ten-year-old Zhao Dieer is more aware of etiquette. Now she will no longer pester Ning Fan to build a snowman.

Ten-year-old Zhao Die'er already has some girlish thoughts... Ning Fan has a handsome appearance, and because of his many years of practicing Taoism, he has an aloof aura.

Even though she deliberately made her appearance look older, it still made Zhao Dieer blush a little and feel her heart beat...

Behind Zhao Die'er, there were also two maids from the Zhao family, both ten years old and pretty in appearance.

After serving in the Zhao Mansion for many years, the Second Maid has seen many Bianliang heroes with outstanding appearance and talents. They have also seen some, but those with Ning Fan's extraordinary temperament are rare...

Therefore, not only Zhao Dieer blushed, but also the two maids blushed, and they would steal glances at Ning Fan from time to time...

"Yes, there is no snow in Bianliang this year, and the plum blossoms have not bloomed. This wine makes me really lonely... Is Brother Boyang's illness getting better?"

Ning Fan changed the topic and asked.

He came to Bianliang ten years ago and has known Zhao Boyang for ten years, so he is considered an old friend.

For a month, Zhao Boyang did not come to Yunzhong Academy to teach. It is said that his old illness relapsed, which was quite serious...

"Dad's leg disease attacks every year, but this year it's more serious. He can no longer get out of bed. Someone has to come to the bed to serve him. He even hired some famous doctors, but nothing improved. Even the barbaric medicine given by Master Manchi didn't make any difference.

Effect..."

When Zhao Dieer thought of her father in pain, her nose felt sore and her eyes immediately turned red.

"What's wrong with your legs? Don't cry. Just follow me."

Ning Fan stroked Zhao Die'er's black hair, then pushed the door open and returned home. His unconscious movements made Zhao Die'er forget to cry, and her face was filled with embarrassment.

She is ten years old, already a big girl, and many Bianliang nobles have proposed to marry her... But Ning Fan still treats her as a child and touches her head at will...

It's a very rude move, but Zhao Die'er doesn't seem to reject this feeling...

Leaving the second maid outside the house, Zhao Dieer entered the courtyard of Ning Mansion alone. None of the plum blossoms in Bianliang were in bloom, but there was a plum tree in the courtyard with red plums in full bloom...

"Eh? The plum trees in Shishu's house are so strange. They are different from those in Bianliang City..." Zhao Die'er said in surprise.

"Nature is different, it is not an ordinary plum tree..."

Ning Fan smiled and picked two plum blossoms from the plum tree. One of them, which had a weak spirit, was put on Zhao Die'er's hair. The other one was put into a brocade box like a magic trick and handed to Zhao Die'er.

.

"There are plum blossoms in the box. Take them to your father and drink them. The leg disease will be cured... Don't make any announcement about this in Bianliang, and don't tell your father that the plum blossoms are from me."

Zhao Dieer was so confused that she didn't hear clearly what Ning Fan said. She just instinctively took the jade box and lowered her head like an ostrich.

There was only one thing on her mind, and that was that she had been molested by Uncle Ning!

In Bianliang, men and women were not close to each other, but Ning Fan stroked her hair and gave her a flower...

Her face seemed to be half burned, scalding hot, and there was only the thumping of her heartbeat in her ears...

"Do you know how to be shy? Die'er has really grown up, but my uncle's behavior has become frivolous..."

Ning Fan laughed and shook his head. His bones were already thousands of years old, and Zhao Dieer would always be a child in front of him. He had never thought about the defense between men and women before, but now he knew he should pay attention to it.

Ning Fan repeated what he said before and warned Zhao Die'er carefully before Ning Fan let Zhao Die'er leave.

Until she walked out of the gate of Ning Mansion, Zhao Dieer was still blushing with embarrassment. She finally calmed down and looked at the brocade box in her hand with a look of disbelief.

"Why did uncle give me a plum blossom? He also said that this plum blossom can cure dad's leg disease... Die'er has read a lot of medical skills, but she has never heard that plum blossoms can cure leg disease..."

Although she didn't believe that plum blossoms could cure leg diseases, Zhao Dieer still decided to give it a try, so she returned home with plum blossoms and gave them to her father to take.

Miraculously, Zhao Boyang's leg disease was obviously incurable, but after taking the plum blossoms, his leg disease actually improved day by day.

Zhao Boyang asked in every possible way where the plum blossoms came from. Zhao Dieer remembered Ning Fan's instructions and did not say anything nonsense, but the matter still spread in Bianliang City.

No one knows what kind of plum blossom can cure Zhao Daru's old leg disease.

The only one who knows the truth is Zhao Die'er. At the age of ten, she saw Ning Fan's incredible abilities for the first time.

When she came to Ning's house again, ready to thank Ning Fan for his kindness, she found that Ning Fan was not at home, only his 'wife and daughter' were at home...

After asking "aunt" Liu Yan and "sister" Xian Loli, Zhao Dieer learned that Ning Fan was painting by the Bianhe River at this moment.

"Uncle Ning Shi is painting in Bianhe River?" Zhao Dieer was very surprised. In her impression, Ning Fan seemed to only know how to drink and admire plum blossoms.

When she came to the bank of the Bian River and found Ning Fan, she saw Ning Fan looking at an ancient painting next to a flat bluestone half a man tall.

After ten years of becoming a mortal, just to seek the truth, Ning Fan finally began to understand the truth. The truth of Tao cannot be passed down orally, so Ning Fan integrated his understanding of Tao truth into paintings and painted them into paintings to understand the truth.

The ancient painting Ning Fan was looking at was a painting he obtained from Luo Yun's demon Lu Daochen when he was in the Nine Tribes of the Lu Clan.

The content of the painting is a scene of Lu Wu, the demon commander of the ancient heaven, driving on a battle.

This painting was painted by a certain painting immortal in the ancient heaven. It can turn the imaginary into reality. Just activate the magic power to make the characters in the painting appear.

This painting incorporates the Taoist insights of the painting immortal...

Ning Fan looked at the ancient painting for a long time before putting it away, taking out the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, placed it on the bluestone, and started painting.

He knew that Zhao Die'er had arrived and stood beside him, but at the moment he was focused on painting and ignored her, and Zhao Die'er didn't bother her either.

Ning Fan's painting skills can only be regarded as ordinary, and his technique is far from reaching the highest level. However, his paintings contain profound artistic conception, which is close to Taoism. The most important thing in ink painting is artistic conception.

What he painted was the landscape of Bianliang City, every plant and tree, which had been integrated into his heart in the past ten years.

But he painted the shops on Bianliang City Long Street, but he couldn't paint the hustle and bustle.

He drew the water of the Bianhe River, but could not make the water flow.

He painted the bald plum blossoms on both sides of the bank, but could not make the plum blossoms on the plum trees bloom...

"Isn't it enough..."

Ning Fan sighed slightly, put down his lake pen, and looked at the river in silence.

He was still dissatisfied with the painting. The reason for his dissatisfaction was that he could not integrate reality into the painting.

Zhao Dieer's beautiful eyes were shining again and again, and she looked at Ning Fan's paintings in surprise.

Naturally, she doesn't know what is true or not. In her opinion, Ning Fan's attainments in landscape painting have undoubtedly reached a very high level. Every plant and tree has its own meaning...

She didn't understand why Ning Fan sighed after he had clearly painted a masterpiece...

"Uncle, are you dissatisfied with this painting?" Zhao Die'er did not call Ning Fan Shishu, her tone seemed to be as close as when she was young.

"Did you see it again?" Ning Fan smiled.

"Hehe, uncle's brows are almost knit together, can't Die'er see it?"

Zhao Die'er smiled sweetly, and suddenly an idea came to her. She blushed, lowered her head, and begged Ning Fan, "Uncle, can you teach Die'er to paint? Die'er wants to learn..."

"Isn't your ambition to be a barbarian monk? Why don't you study barbarian scriptures instead of coming to learn painting from me? Don't you want to be a barbarian monk?" Ning Fan laughed.

"No, Die'er's ambition is still to be a barbarian monk, and Die'er has already agreed to Master Man Chi..."

Zhao Dieer sighed faintly mid-sentence and did not continue.

Ning Fan did not ask further questions, but looked at Zhao Dieer with interest, took off the wine gourd from his waist, and took a sip.

"Uncle, would you like to teach Die'er how to paint? Die'er will only bother uncle for five years. After five years, Die'er will leave..."

Zhao Dieer stared at Ning Fan with her dark eyes, with a hint of pleading. There was also a hint of confusion in her expression.

"good."

Ning Fan nodded, glanced at the plum blossoms on Zhao Dieer's temples, and sighed.

After a few days, the plum blossoms had dried up, but Zhao Dieer still wore them on her head.

Have you grown up...

From that day on, whenever Zhao Dieer had free time, she would come to Ning Fan to learn painting.

Beside the bluestone of Bianhe River, Ning Fan will definitely be there, sometimes splashing ink and swiping brush, sometimes silently silent.

In the eleventh year, Ning Fan finally drew a flowing river.

In the twelfth year, among the bare plum branches described by Ning Fan, there were actually a few red plum blossoms in full bloom.

In the thirteenth year, there was a faint noise from the market in Ning Fan's painting.

In the fourteenth year, Ning Fan began to paint flying dragons, strange beasts, and some creatures in the mountains and seas.

In the fifteenth year, Ning Fan started painting people.
