Chapter 36: What to Give

Lanzhi and Qiuxia cooked the meal and brought it to the living room, Ding Yiyi was very appetizing when he saw that the steamed pork was crystal clear and had a layer of hoarfrost, stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece into Ding Chen's bowl, and gave Ding Dashan another piece.

"Daddy, I see that this tamales are very good, and I have an appetite when I smell it, you can taste it. Ding Yiyi took another piece of chopsticks and put it in his bowl.

Laneige took Xiao Chen away, Qiu Xia went to the kitchen to eat, Cuilian also followed her to the kitchen, Ding Yiyi saw them go to the kitchen and didn't ask them to eat in the living room, after all, it is impossible for all the servants in the family to sit together to eat in the future!

Ding Chen glanced at Ding Yiyi with a smile in his eyes: "Yiyi said that it must be delicious, I don't know what is the difference between the food made by this southerner and the food we cook." ”

"I also think it's delicious, it's delicious when you look at it, I'll taste it first!" Ding Dashan said, picking up the meat and putting it in his mouth.

"Well, you try it, this tamales are not only beautiful in color, but also fragrant in the mouth, delicate in texture, and light in taste. Ding Dashan said after swallowing the food in his mouth.

"It's really good, you eat more clothes, Laneige's food is not bad. Ding Chen saw that Ding Yiyi liked it, so he pushed the plate of tamales in front of her.

"Mother, you can eat too, I can't eat so much, let's eat together. Ding Yiyi put the plate in the middle of the table again.

When Ding Dashan saw it, he stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of fish meat on Ding Yiyi's plate: "Yiyi, taste this fish, is it delicious, be careful that there are fish bones." As he spoke, he put another piece of small bowl in front of Ding Chen's, and looked at her with tenderness, Ding Chen's face turned red: "Hurry up and eat! ”

Ding Yi picked up the piece of fish and tasted it, yes, light and delicious, probably because the southerners have a light diet, so the dishes made are a little sweet. Ding Yiyi ate carefully, picked out the fish bones and put them aside, and tasted the other two dishes, both of which were good, Aunt Lan's cooking skills were very good, and she didn't need her mother to cook for them in the future.

After dinner in the evening, Ding Chen hugged Xiao Chen to coax him to sleep, and when he fell asleep, put him into the bedroom and covered him with a quilt and came out, Ding Yiyi and Ding Dashan were sitting in the living room.

"Her father, tomorrow Yiyi will recognize Master Bai as his godfather, what do you think we need to prepare? I heard that there are two boys in the Bai family, and we also have to prepare some decent gifts. Ding Chen frowned and said, she hasn't picked a gift yet, that is, the gifts she gave to her mother last time were all bought with clothes, and her mother and two brothers-in-law were very satisfied, this time it was the two sons of the Bai family, the Bai family had a lot of money, and they had seen everything, at least they were more knowledgeable than them, and she didn't know what to give them.

"That's the same, we don't know what rich people like, Yiyi, what do you say? You have been in school for a while more than me and your mother have seen young ladies and young ladies, what do they like?" Ding Dashan thought about it and asked his daughter!

"Well, why don't we give them a few paintings? They have everything, we can buy everything in his store, it's not rare, I recently learned to paint with Bai Jinyu, so I know a little, I'll draw a few paintings for them!" Ding Yiyi bit her lip and thought for a while, she had learned to paint before, although she couldn't compare to everyone, but giving gifts is to give her heart, not to mention that there are no sketch portraits in this era, it's a big deal to draw a few portraits of people with carbon strips and give them them.

After a few people discussed, it was decided, seeing that it was not early, a few people went back to their rooms to sleep, and after this matter, they were going to be busy moving, this small courtyard is no longer suitable for many people, not to mention that the house has been bought and put in ashes, and the servants have also bought it, and it always has to be arranged.

A good night's dream, Ding Yiyi dreamed that she went home, her parents said that they were looking for her in a hurry, but fortunately she came back safe and sound, and woke up while chatting with her parents, to see that it was still early, Ding Yiyi couldn't sleep, woke up Cuilian to go to the kitchen to get a few carbon strips back, there was ready-made rice paper in the room, although it was different from sketch paper, fortunately, it could also paint.

Spread the rice paper on the table, Ding Yiyi picked up the charcoal strip brush and brushed a few times to draw a general outline, Cuilian watched the young lady draw intently, she was also from a scholarly family, but she had never seen a charcoal strip painting, and it looked quite novel.

Ding Yiyi continued to draw on the paper with carbon strips, and after a while, a person's avatar became clear, "It's Master Bai! Miss, you are so good, you really draw like you." Cuilian couldn't help but exclaim.

"Cuilian, are you so surprised? You have never seen such a painting in a rich family before, and our children from poor families can draw whatever they get, and the carbon strip can naturally draw. Ding Yiyi smiled and said to Cuilian, is it strange that she uses carbon strips to paint? Also, at this time, people are all drawing with brushes, presumably no one uses this black carbon strip!

Waiting for Ding Yiyi to finish painting, Cuilian took the painting and looked at it carefully, the white man on the portrait was standing, wearing a long robe was very elegant, wearing a jade crown, standing with his hands in his hands, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall nose bridge, thin lips pursed, the real image of the painting, even the hair and eyebrows must be seen at all, both form and spirit.

"Miss, you have time to teach me how to draw this carbon stripe painting!" Cuilian looked at Ding Yiyi with admiration, and there seemed to be a little star flashing in her eyes.

"Okay, but it's not called a carbon strip painting, I call it a sketch for your young lady. Ding Yiyi thinks it's still called a sketch, and the carbon strip is not good.

Cuilian listened to it and looked at the painting, but couldn't she find any other colors except black, white and gray. She took the painting aside and put it away, and Ding Yiyi instructed her to cover it with a blank piece of paper, otherwise it would blur the painting.

Ding Yiyi changed another piece of rice paper, this time it was Mrs. Bai, and a beautiful woman was drawn sitting at the table, the woman was holding a bun on her head, and there was a golden step on the bun, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and a small mouth, and she was a big beauty at first glance.

When Ding Yiyi finishes painting this painting, she has not seen the eldest son of the Bai family, how can she paint a portrait of him?

Ding Yiyi thought about Bai Jinyu's appearance and drew it on paper, Bai Jinyu looks good, she is completely a modern version of a warm man, it's not bad to find one like this when she grows up, it's over, what is she thinking? It won't be that the two lives are added together, and it's time for her to want to get married, right? No, no, it's still the ancient people who got married too early, and she was influenced by these people.
