321 The Blind Learn to Feel the Bones (Four Watches)
Jiang Ruoning nodded, before she could move, the pony and Cui Qian had already started, filling the head, Jiang Ruoning grabbed a handful of yellow mud and began to paint it quickly.
In less than half an hour, the appearance of the first corpse was restored.
Mr. Chun Yu used a sketch to draw according to the clay statue, and on the other hand, he talked about what Ah Huan said, plus his own comprehension and feelings.
When the second corpse came out, the one who learned the best began to paint the head of the second corpse.
After a while, Jiang Ruoning recovered the third corpse.
The civil official sent by the Criminal Department learned to paint his head, faster than Chun Yufei, and quickly mastered the essentials.
Jiang Ruoning finished recovering ten people, seeing that it was still early, he let five people in, and just restored two people, Ah Huan stood at the door, with worried eyes: "Senior sister, why don't you call me when you leave?" β
"You were too tired yesterday. There are four people today, and I want you to sleep more. β
Jiang Ruoning said: "Ah Huan painted seven people tonight, each of you painted two, and you can rest after painting." When the sketching skills of a few of you are learned, the number of people painted by Ah Huan will be the same in the future. I and the three of them recovered, and the fifteen of them went back to rest. β
"But it's up to the princess."
"Okay, that's it."
When Ah Huan painted the portrait, the other four stood behind her and watched, Ah Huan talked about the essentials again, until one painting was completed, and the other four dispersed, each painting their own.
*
Time passes day by day, and days are days in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ruoning reversed black and white in Dali Temple, and so did the five painters.
Early the next morning, Dali Temple will announce the newly restored portrait of the deceased and ask the family to go to claim it.
The old woman finally got back her daughter's bones, and she was grateful to the tears, and specially made a lot of new food, and every dusk would send the house slaves to Dali Temple.
"Princess, this is a dim sum made by Mrs. Shen herself, and she named it and said that it was given to the princess and the five painters, please accept it."
Mrs. Shen was grateful. If you accept it, you can also reassure her. The people were grateful to others and made things with their own hands. Jiang Ruoning said: "Sue Mrs. SΓΉ Shen, you don't have to send it again in the future." Let's just say that the families of other victims also sent snacks, and we almost ran out of food. β
Now Jiang Ruoning can restore twenty people every night, and once it is completed, he will go back to rest.
Mr. Chun Yu and others can paint three paintings every night, and Ah Huan is the most relaxed. After painting eight paintings, you can go back to the floating flower courtyard to sleep.
"Mr. Chunyu, where was that extremely beautiful girl at the beginning?"
Jiang Ruoning was working and talking to them at the same time, she couldn't do it earlier, but now she is more and more handy, she can even know the other party's appearance as soon as she touches her head, even if her facial features are not distinct, it only takes an hour at most to recover.
"It was a girl from a small family in Yangzhou, who was looked down upon by people in the dark building when she was twelve years old. The robbery left Jiangnan and was sent into the dark building, although he lost his memory, he was a fierce man, and he committed suicide by swallowing gold instead of death. β
Jiang Ruoning sighed lightly.
Ah Huan took over and said: "Some rich and noble families will donate silver, and when her family came to claim it, they received two hundred taels of silver for the funeral expenses. According to the confession of the steward of the dark building, in the case of the Red Mansion, in addition to a group of aristocratic young girls, there are also stunning beauties collected from all over the world, and the youngest of them is twelve years old. The eldest is at most sixteen years old, and after being trained by Murong Liang's father and son, he picks up customers in the dark building to make money. β
Jiang Ruoning has already heard Mr. Chun Yu say that aristocratic young girls will only make money after being raised if they have extremely beautiful facial features. And those facial features are not excellent, so they are trampled on, and they are tortured to death, but there are very few girls like Ah Huan who can survive.
Originally, Murong Liang originally forced them to get their own girls out and send them into the dark building in order to coerce the families, just like Murong Liang wanted to force Song Yue to support him. It is the same to let Song Yue send Song Chao's daughter Song Qingwen to the dark building, there is such a thing pinched by him, he is not afraid that Song Yue will betray him.
After Chun Yufei and the others finished painting three paintings each, Ah Huan still had two left.
Jiang Ruoning took a pen and paper and quickly drew it according to the avatar, her movements were faster than Ah Huan's. For Chun Yufei, this time of day is the most interesting, because Jiang Ruoning will demonstrate in person, and sometimes explain, but now she basically doesn't talk anymore, but quickly waves the paintbrush.
Ah Huan smiled slightly: "Senior sister can draw faster than me." β
The civil official from the Criminal Department took a deep look: "Princess, the lower official wants to learn the skills of the princess touching the bones to restore the deceased, but I don't know that the princess may give you some advice." β
Jiang Ruoning said: "If you want to learn, you can learn it tomorrow, and you need to have an excellent sense of touch to learn this technique." You can be at home, blindfolded, touch everyone in the house, and you can accurately determine the identity of each person by touching their head without relying on their sense of smell, wear, clothing, etc. β
The civil servant was stunned.
Jiang Ruoning smiled slightly, "After a while, you can try." β
After painting the last portrait, Jiang Ruoning went out of the studio with them.
"Sir can arrange for a few people other than us, and I will name each one of them, and then untie the cloth to see if what I say is correct."
Chun Yufei immediately summoned ten officials.
Jiang Ruoning was blindfolded, and every time he touched one, Chun Yufei reported his name: "Zhang Bao!" "Wen Gang!" "Li Bing!"
After Jiang Ruoning finished touching it, Ah Huan untied the cloth.
Several people disrupted the position they were standing earlier at the signal of Chun Yufei, and Jiang Ruoning glanced at the first person, "Li Bing!" "Luo Dashan!" "Qi Ermao!"
When she revealed the exact names of the ten people, everyone was stunned.
What a skill this is, just by touching it, you can tell the name of each of them.
The civil official was also blindfolded, but to his regret, he did not guess correctly.
The pony smiled, "In the whole world, only the princess has this skill, and it depends on the sense of touch." β
Jiang Ruoning smiled slightly, "After you go home, try to touch your bones blindfolded, in fact, if you want to learn this skill, the blind man is the best candidate." β
Blind people have a very sensitive sense of touch because they can't see clearly.
"The princess said very much, the grass people will give it to Lord Zhu tomorrow and pick two blind people to learn this technique."
Jiang Ruoning's construction was really adopted by Zhu Zheng, not only Zhu Zheng, but also a few blind people from Guan Daren's side to learn the art of touching bones and restoring appearance before his death with Jiang Ruoning.
There were six people at the same time, but only one of them had a particularly strong sense of touch, and although the head made of yellow clay was not the same for the first time, he was ready to say the deceased: "Almond eyes, such eyebrow bones, should be sparse eyebrows, three fingers wide between the eyebrows, round face, flesh on the face, slightly thicker lips ......"
Earlier, Jiang Ruoning had touched the skull of that one.
This blind man feels so good that it would be a pity not to learn this skill.
When the blind people heard that they could serve the imperial court and learn the legendary skills of Princess Fengge, they enthusiastically signed up. If a man has a disease, he is looked down upon, except for being a fortune teller, there is almost no second possibility, and some can't even afford to marry a woman. Now that I can enter the public gate and listen to the court dinner, this is a pie-in-the-sky thing.
"Yes, you're right, she's not round, it's oval, and it's a little open under her nose, and you touch her nostrils carefully, and they're ...... wider than usual."
The blind man touched it again, "The princess is right. β
"Did you learn to pinch small animals with mud before?"
"Haven't learned it yet."
"In the future, start by learning to pinch small animals, your touch is good, now you can learn to touch the bones, touch the bones is about talent, talent is good, how to restore the original appearance and then slowly learn, tell the sΓΉ painter what you feel out of."
After Jiang Ruoning touched the skull, let him touch it again.
After he described the appearance of the deceased in detail, if there was anything wrong, Jiang Ruoning would correct it.
Jiang Ruoning said: "In the future, if you want to learn from each other, you will definitely be able to achieve something, you must be strong in your disability, and your heart must be stronger. I will sue the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and give you the regular silver according to the official errand, and when you are successful in your studies, you will receive the money according to the Jiupin officials. β
This means that they can eat public meals.
Several blind people were beaming.
Jiang Ruoning said again: "It is difficult for those who can't learn to stay in the yamen, so you have to be careful." β
"Yes."
In this way, several blind apprentices became public people, and they followed Jiang Ruoning to learn the art of touching bones, and every day Jiang Ruoning would give them three skulls, and then write the appearance of the three on the note, and then they took turns to touch it, and see whose answer was closest to what she wrote.
Among the blind people, there are those who have a good sense of touch, and there are also those who are born to play with mud, one of the two blind people touches the bones, and the other restores the appearance of the deceased before his death, which is a seamless cooperation.
"No, stone blind, the bridge of your nose is slightly collapsed, you pinched it too straight, your mouth is bigger, and it is smaller."
The blind man who spoke was holding a ball of mud in his hand, pinching a puppy, in order to learn the art of pinching mud, the blind people now all pinch cats and dogs, which are easy to pinch, and when they learn it, they will slowly learn to restore their avatars.
Ah Huan glanced at it: "Senior sister, do they look like each other?" β
"There are seven points, and if you modify it again, you will have eight points, with such a good talent, they will eat this bowl of rice, and over time, they will be able to stand alone."
*
On this day, Jiang Ruoning, as usual, returned to the floating garden to rest after recovering twenty people, and just after bathing and changing clothes, Ah Huan knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Senior sister, save my mother and my sister. is about to enter the lunar month, and on the thirteenth day of the lunar month, Xie Liduan, Xie Wanlin, Song Yue and other heinous people in the traitorous party will be sentenced to Ling Chi at the entrance of Xicai Market. Senior sister ......"
Jiang Ruoning froze for a moment, "I've been out for a few days, and I'll go back to the palace tomorrow and ask my father to forgive your mother and sister's sins." β
"Senior Sister Xie!"
Jiang Ruoning asked the pony on the side, "How many people have come to claim the bones?" β
"Back to the princess, so far, twelve more families have taken away the bones. Yesterday, Lord Zhu received a report that someone came to pretend to be buried with money, and the girl from his family was sold to a foreign land as a girl in a poor family earlier, but it was not said that she had entered the Red Mansion, and the bones were not his family at all. β
Jiang Ruoning said: "The Criminal Department and Dali Temple didn't issue an announcement early in the morning, and those who want to recognize the girl and the bones must be issued a certificate of receipt by the local yamen, and they must also be guaranteed by a local person of respect."
