Chapter 196: Painting
The more Yan Jiu thought about it, the more worried he became, and he couldn't care about it, grabbed the proprietress, frowned and asked her, "Who made you this glutton?" ”
Hiding a gluttony in the ground, if the owner doesn't know, it is a bit bizarre.
The proprietress was ignorant and couldn't speak for a while.
Hongchen said softly: "This bureau is not to help you, it is to harm you, to tell you the truth, if we didn't notice it early, all the customers in your store would be supported to death one by one, you can think about it, if it really comes to that point, what will happen to you!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the proprietress shuddered, wanting to cry without tears: "This, this, I really don't know, the day before yesterday, there was a shriveled old man in the wine shop who asked for food, dirty, oily, we are a wine shop, how could he let him in like that, let's not look small in the shop, but there are also some literati and ink writers passing by, the literati are much cleaner, I don't dare to let him in, so I hurriedly put some wine for him to drink outside." ”
The proprietress was confused and scratched her head, "That old man didn't drink my wine, but he was very polite, and only said that he could make my wine shop business better...... Somehow, I believed him and let him tinker in my shop for a long time. ”
Thinking about it now, the proprietress also broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't seem to believe it at first, but then somehow she did.
The old man's face turned pale, and he sighed: "I'm afraid it's really Granny Kun who is here, her disguise technique is famous in Shikoku, and it is normal to disguise it, but except for her, I'm afraid others will not arrange such a feng shui bureau so easily." ”
He always thought that so many years had passed. Granny Kun was also seriously injured back then, and it is unknown whether she can be good or not, but when she came to the capital this time, her disciples and grandchildren came, and she herself was afraid that she would not dare to come.
Unexpectedly, she actually ...... Such a big determination.
Hongchen was not in a hurry, and slowly collected all the messy things on the ground, and half of the gluttony, together with the clay pot, was sealed with yellow charms. Stuff into the cooktop. The fire burned.
"Don't stop the fire, keep adding firewood."
Hongchen admonished.
There is no need for Yan Jiu to coerce, seeing the miserable appearance of the guests in that place, the proprietress does not dare to be disobedient.
In fact. The proprietress is probably the most affected. It's just that her desire is not food, but money. Not so quickly manifested.
The rest of the things, Hongchen and Yan Jiu had no patience to deal with them one by one.
"Let's go."
The group got into the car, and Yan Jiu went over to help check the salute brought by the original family again.
The old man only brought some helpers to help. The other juniors didn't come, and even the fourth son didn't follow, probably because they were worried that it was not safe outside recently, and the manpower was not enough, and the helpers were not as careful as their relatives after all.
Yan Jiu couldn't show it on his face, but he was actually very careful, and he was also serious and responsible, because people in the Southern Regions like to use poison, and the ingredients of the original family should be checked carefully, in case something goes wrong, it is a great deal.
"Hey, it's a pity that Xiaosi can't come, it's just that I did my filial piety for him."
The old man didn't speak, and the helpers next to him were not restrained at all, smiling and joking about their son-in-law.
"Our fourth son probably would rather come out and die of exhaustion than stay at home to recuperate."
The situation of their four sons is not good, I heard that every day there are ghosts crying and wolves howling in the room, and there are many strange noises, and they have to make a fire to burn something all day long, and the smell in the house is very choking, but everyone who comes out, whether it is the master or the subordinate, is pale, and walks in a hurry, as if he has been greatly frightened.
The people who have been serving in the past few days have been changed every three or five days, and it is really too miserable for the son-in-law to scream, and those who hear it are sad and those who see it cry, and they really can't stand it.
Think about it, how terrible it would be to make someone like the fourth prince cry uncomfortably!
Busy working over there, Hongchen sat next to the car, bathing in the spring breeze, smelling the fragrance of flowers, closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, in fact, his thoughts were speeding in the Yujue space.
She always felt that this space was starting to move, something was about to break through the ground, but in fact, it had not changed, and there was still only a trading section for second-hand old things, at most, it was more convenient and easier for her to use.
Hongchen's ambition is not big, she can be reborn once, and she has such a magical jade jue space when she is born, which is already considered to be a lot of luck, sometimes she is a little worried, whether she will have overdrawn her luck, and in the next life, will she not be able to reincarnate as an adult, and will become a pig, a dog, or something.
Or do more good deeds and accumulate more merits, although even if she can't become an adult in the next life, she is only full of gratitude, but in the end she still wants to repay and compensate, compensate for this world, compensate for the creatures between heaven and earth, if she makes merits and makes up for the good fortune she is greedy, it is good that she can be ordinary and smooth in the next life.
The carriage moved slowly.
The breeze blows, and the mountains are full of fragrant flowers and plants.
Yao's family has finally arrived.
Built by the mountain, ring after ring, a total of eighteen houses, by the round arch bridge hook, the mountain wind is very strong, the mountain is a little cold, this kind of place should not be too comfortable in winter, summer is a good place to take the cool and escape the heat.
Hongchen got out of the car, but was a little surprised.
Yan Jiu was also very surprised, it is really this place is too full of fireworks in the world, it is obviously in the deep mountains, but there is a wide and neat mountain road, the houses on the mountain are also built no different from ordinary houses, green bricks and green tiles, the big ones are only four in, the small ones have only one yard, the people who come and go clean up and dress up the Lili Suo, the speech and demeanor are very polite, and they seem to have work on their bodies, but they are doing trivial work, chopping wood and carrying water, cleaning the fallen leaves, and chatting about some short gossip in the parents.
As soon as the carriage and horses of the original family arrived, they were warmly welcomed, and the fat cook in the kitchen brought someone to help, and soon gave up a large kitchen to the old man of the original family.
"Are you really here? The young master said that you will arrive, and we are looking forward to it. ”
Several cooks in the kitchen obviously knew the original master, they were acquaintances, and they were extraordinarily affectionate, but even so, there were still many people who came up to inspect the ingredients and check all kinds of things.
Hongchen and the others were also invited to bathe and change clothes, and it was the little maid who came to serve. All of them are cute and talkative, so I know that I am doing an examination, but they are so polite, and the bath is very comfortable, and no one can be annoyed.
If she really reveals the identity of the county lord, no one will dare to open her mouth to let her bathe, but now she is using the original family's post to enter the door, and the treatment is different.
The maid also reminded a few words, intentionally or unintentionally, that Old Man Yao had a birthday, and there were many guests. There are also many nobles. Be careful.
Hongchen didn't say anything yet, Yan Jiu walked closer, and looked at Luo Niang and Xiao Yan's eyes, and he was also very embarrassed. Ai Ai said: "I have wronged the county lord." I knew it earlier...... Belch. I shouldn't have asked for your help. ”
In the original family, their fourth prince kept saying how glorious it was to cook for Grandmaster Yao, and said that even the prince and grandson were willing to do it. But it is really the prince of the king, but there will never be such cumbersome rules as now.
Yan Jiu himself is in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know much about those messy rules, this time he really experienced the clear hierarchy of big families, and finally felt that he had done something wrong, he also met Hongchen, he was very easy to talk, and he changed to another county lord, I'm afraid he would be annoyed.
Of course, it is impossible for other serious county lords to agree to such a ridiculous request.
Even Luo Niang thought that her young lady was too reckless at this time.
"Miss didn't like to join in the fun before, what's wrong with this time?" Xiao Yan was also a little surprised, "Although it's not a big deal, if you want others to know, you have to say a word of nonsense, and when you meet such a psychologically shady person, you don't know how to arrange the young lady." ”
"Well, I didn't think about it that much."
Hongchen pursed his lips, changed into the new spring clothes prepared by his original family, and said with a smile, "It's more likely that I'm thinking too much." ”
Xiao Yan and Luo Niang looked at each other, and no one knew what their young lady meant.
"Because of the peach blossom cake."
Hongchen laughed again.
Luo Niang was speechless - if you want to eat peach blossom cake, squeak, the old lady of the original family can't wait to make it for you every day.
Because the queen suddenly asked her to buy peach blossom cake, the taste of that lady, she also knows that she loves meat, loves to eat serious home-cooked meals, snacks and the like, and when she drinks tea, she will make do with eating a little, mung bean cake, red bean cake is the best, but she doesn't eat such elegant snacks.
"I don't know what the mother thinks, I always like this kind of guessing game."
Hongchen felt that she had really gone through two lives, and her patience had become full, and after changing her previous life, she was impatient to guess the little Jiujiu in the queen's mother's belly, and she must have felt that the lady was very annoying.
Even now, I'm afraid that in the eyes of others, Niangniang also loves to toss people too much, and she doesn't think so, preferring to be straight, but she is willing to connive.
The palace is boring, a boring queen is to do a little boring thing, as a junior, it is necessary to be a little tired of clothes and entertainment in person, just to do filial piety.
The people of the original family in the kitchen sweated profusely.
Hongchen turned around, her eyes wandered around the rockery, ponds, and verandah pavilions, others couldn't see them, but in her eyes were pictures one after another, with sword qi vertical and horizontal, and human body composition, which was full of acupuncture points and lines hooked up, which should be the method of cultivating internal force.
She is not ignorant of these things, there are many such books in hand, and it can be seen that the exercises in the garden are fragments, and they should be found elsewhere, although they are fragments, but because of the peace and tranquility of Zhongzheng, even if you only look at this, it is not harmful.
I don't know if anyone can see the guests coming and going!
"Grandmaster Yao is a little interesting!"
Hongchen didn't know much about this grandmaster, and she didn't care too much, but when she entered his garden today, she was actually neglected in her identity, but she still had a good impression of the Yao family as a whole.
Wandering around, I found a bluestone by the lake and sat down, the surrounding scenery is very pleasant, leaning on the old tree to read a book.
Brush brush brush, brush brush.
Hongchen flipped through the books for a while, and there was a strange sound behind the stones.
Luo Niang looked at it and was stunned: "Where is the child?" ”
Hongchen smiled: "It's okay, don't worry about it, the children of the Yao family won't bump into anything." ”
She saw early in the morning, behind the bluestone, a three-headed little doll dressed like a simple dress, with extremely narrow sleeves and close-fitting clothes, was lying on your small table and drawing things seriously, painting for a while, frowning and thinking about it, it was very similar.
Although it is simple, the material used is muslin, which is particularly soft and comfortable to wear, and there is a layer of jade light floating on the child's face. must be taken care of on weekdays, and he is very generous at a young age, about the Yao family's sons-in-law and grandchildren.
The book in Hongchen's hand is almost the same, not to mention that it is like a stream, but it has been read a few times, and now that he is outside, he wants people to pick up new ones, but it is inconvenient in the end, so he simply turns around and sits on the stone to watch the little doll draw.
The child's hands are small. The paper used is cut. Even the pen is a little smaller, and the fleshy little hand is not particularly stable in his hand, and the things he draws are seen by others. I must have thought it was graffiti. But it's a child. It's normal to say that he is a little second graffiti.
But he drew for a while, stopped, racked his brains and pondered. Draw very seriously.
After a while, he finally stopped, wrinkled his little face, as if crying instead of crying, Hongchen suddenly laughed, bent down and dipped his finger in the ink next to him, and easily sketched it on his painting.
At first, the child was startled and wanted to cry, but when he looked at it, he smiled: "That's right, that's right." ”
He jumped up, crawled and crawled all over his body, climbed to the top of the bluestone, and snuggled up in front of Hongchen to watch her draw.
Hongchen didn't get angry or shirk, she really drew slowly, she didn't explain, these things are not something that children can understand, at most they draw more, look at more, have an impression first, and then learn slowly when they grow up.
However, the Yao family is worthy of being a grandmaster, and it is indeed strict, such a little child can exercise his eyesight and perseverance.
Hongchen painted those sword moves and exercises hidden in this courtyard, not only in this garden, but also in it, she also drew a lot of tricks in it, writing out the method of restraint, even in terms of internal strength, some places are too difficult, some places are easy to detour, and some places need to be paid attention to when practicing, all of which are marked one by one.
Painting and painting came to the interest, a few martial arts idiots in the Yujue space, as well as a volume of ancient medical books in Luo Niang's wooden box, interjected one after another, gave comments, just a picture album to coax children, the more complicated it became.
In fact, in Hongchen's opinion, there is no need to keep secret such things as martial arts, you have to have that talent, have that perseverance, and a set of Taizu long fists can still become a master, but if you don't have it, even if you bring you the best exercises in the world, it's completely useless.
Hongchen's paintings are the foundation of the foundation, she didn't pay attention to it at all, and she planned to let Luo Niang take it back and send it to Tianjimen, this kind of exercise is not profound, but it is the best to use it to lay the foundation, it is easy to understand, suitable for children, and it is not easy to mess up.
Speaking of which, it is not for nothing that Hongchen can exchange the best cheats in his hand, but the more unfathomable it is, the more it needs to pay attention to qualifications, and it is not easy to practice, but the basic things are more stable and reliable.
Coaxed the child for a while, and the outside became more and more lively, Hongchen saw that a maid and servant woman came over, so he gave the child to the family, said a few polite words, and walked back to the kitchen by himself.
The peach blossom cake of the original old man has been made and sent steaming, and Hongchen has also tasted it with the old man, and the taste is still indescribably good.
However, the dishes of the other chefs in this family are very ordinary, except for the amount of portions, heavy oil and water, there are no other advantages, and even the presentation is a little sparse.
Hongchen ate two pieces of dim sum, and when he got hungry, he was a little hungry, so he simply asked Luo Niang to unseal the crispy pot they were carrying, and baked two flatbreads to eat.
This crispy pot is still Xue Baiqiao and Jin Qing, both love to eat fish, and they don't want to pick thorns, Hongchen specially learned the recipe, the materials needed are abundant, and it takes a long time, and the pot they enjoy now has taken more than five hours.
Luo Niang thought about it, and her saliva flowed, this pot is really fragrant, take the casserole crispy, and add a little nourishing herbs to it, but there is no peculiar smell, eat it in the mouth, a hot flow emerges from the stomach, making people think about the next time when they eat it.
Not to mention their little girls, the old man is old and has always had a hard appetite, and when he smells it now, he can't help but throw down his errand to come over to taste it.
"Whew!"
The old man tasted it, his eyebrows were soothing, and he said with a smile, "The taste is really rich, don't look at me as a cook, but in fact, I am not greedy for appetite, and the children below are not greedy, today I feel that I should try to live a long time, otherwise I can't enjoy all the delicacies in this world, which is also a big pity." ”
As soon as the pot is done, it is carefully sealed, and the fragrance is simmered in it, and now as soon as it is opened, the taste comes out with a bang, and even the red dust is full of mouth, not to mention others, the cooks and helpers in front of them are serving, and they smell a wisp of aroma. The stomach rumbled unconsciously.
The guests sitting outside in the garden looked sideways, unconsciously hungry.
Originally, although the birthday banquet brought a banquet word, but everyone came as guests, not to eat, with a little food is also very reserved, this time is good, many guests, especially those sitting on the edge, close to the kitchen, on the fragrance of eating bread also feel sweet. What a big pile of dough. There should have been a lot left, but it was not enough to eat, so that the housekeeper's daughter-in-law was startled, and she hurriedly told the cook to do more emergency.
If they have a birthday banquet at Yao's house. The guests were not satisfied. That's embarrassing.
I just came to attend Grandmaster Yao's birthday banquet. Most of them are martial arts practitioners, and they not only have a big appetite, but also a smart nose. You can smell the smell of the kitchen from afar.
Although everyone is embarrassed to ask what the kitchen cooks, but when you are hungry, you will inevitably add a few more chopsticks to eat, and the number of people is large, and one person eats a little more, and the kitchen is so busy that the front and back heels can't touch the ground, and you have to send someone out to buy it again.
A gust of wind blows, the fragrance carries with the wind, and more people smell it.
On the front of the main seat, they are all the respected predecessors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they are not as restrained as the people below, the Yao family loves to be lively, and they also sent someone to ask, but the result of asking back is that the home-cooked food prepared by the chef has already been eaten, and it is very complicated to make, and it is too late to make it.
Everyone immediately laughed, and joked with a smile: "If you don't say anything, don't care which one, the chef eats the best." ”
Others also responded, of course, no one will be angry, can become a grandmaster, all of them are very well-cultivated people, if you change your violent temper, let alone whether you can practice martial arts well, I am afraid that before you grow up, you will be destroyed because there are too many enemies.
At present, the four countries, not to mention the great grandmasters, even the grandmasters are mostly peaceful and magnificent.
"With this fragrance, we can also eat three more bowls of rice, let's eat."
Grandmaster Yao's generation of grandmasters, today is the 120th birthday, but he is still a crane-haired child, and he looks no different from a person in his fifties.
The old man had a slight smile on his face, and as he spoke, he picked up the little doll that was crawling around beside his legs and feet and rested it on his lap.
This is his youngest grandson, Yao Yuqing, whose nickname is Sanfat, and there are two older brothers, Da Fat and Erfat, who have all grown up, but he is the only one whose parents are old and Xiao Douding.
"Grandfather, look, this painting is finished, I can go to the outer courtyard with my eldest brother, right?"
Xiao Douding grabbed Grandmaster Yao's beard and said crisply.
Grandmaster Yao only stroked his beard and nodded, nodded halfway back to his senses, poked the child's fleshy face, and glared at the youngest son sitting next to him.
It's all his kid's messing around!
The Yao family spent a huge amount of money to build eighteen gardens, each garden has a variety of arrangements, hidden mysteries, children from the age of six, they want them to seriously experience, every day copying, copying out of the cheats can be learned, if the copy can not come out, you can only wait until the age of ten enlightenment, began to practice martial arts.
But his youngest son was pestered by his youngest grandson, and he was upset for a while, so he casually said that as long as he could trace a secret book, he promised the child and his eldest son to go to the outer courtyard to practice martial arts together.
Which door is a joke, a three-year-old child, his body is still weak, his mind is uncertain, he doesn't even recognize a few words, which door is martial arts!
The youngest son is simply fooling his grandson.
There are indeed a lot of good things hidden in the garden, and their own disciples, who are over half a hundred years old, are all famous masters, and they still have to take a long time every year to study the martial arts secrets in the garden.
When I was a teenager, I drew it for memory, but I just swallowed it, and then I studied it seriously for a long time.
Grandmaster Yao took the thick pile of paper stuffed by Xiaodouding, thinking in his heart how to send the child away for a while, and he had to comfort one or two, he couldn't let his grandson lose his sharpness, and he should be solemn when he scribbled on this child.
After taking it and glancing at it, Grandmaster Yao couldn't help laughing, it was indeed a child's graffiti, but it was difficult for him to be smart, I don't know which brother he coaxed to give some guidance, and it was not completely impossible to draw it correctly.
Smiled and casually turned the page, his hand suddenly froze, his eyes were slightly cold, he squinted at the picture, looked at it, his face showed shock, and then there was a sense of surprise, almost happy.
The friends in the same table laughed.
"What do you see, happy like this? Could it be that this little grandson of your family can draw a flower for you? ”
Everyone laughed and laughed, so that no one really leaned over to look. (To be continued.) )
