Chapter 290: Apprenticeship
"Jiaxuan, go back to the yard, I won't punish you." The old lady opened her mouth lightly, her eyes cold and merciless.
Jia Xuan kowtowed and got up and retreated, but there was never a word.
"Mingzhu, who did you come to see?" Shangguan Peng asked.
"I didn't think about it at first, but when I met the eldest prince, I felt that this was also a good candidate, and it would actually be a good choice for our family to marry the eldest prince. Jiaxuan's status may be a little low, but if the emperor has the heart to keep the eldest prince, he may not agree, but I haven't discussed it with the elders, but I just pondered it in my heart, thinking that I would wait for the discussion before talking to the queen mother, I haven't said anything to anyone. Mingzhu wiped her tears, took the hot handkerchief handed over by her grandmother and wiped her face, and said 1510.
Shangguan Peng's eyes were not surprised, "If you are careful, it is indeed a good choice, but it is a pity that there is no suitable candidate in our family, otherwise it is really a good marriage." What do you think, brother? ”
"There is no suitable girl in the clan, the age is much worse, the candidate is really good, I have seen that child, and I have heard Brother Yu talk about it, he is not a stupid person, honest and sincere, but he also has goods in his heart, and his knowledge is not necessarily worse than that of the third child. Jia Xuan is not worthy of him, and he can't show his face. Although Shangguan Hao was disappointed, he still said truthfully.
"yes, it's a pity." Shangguan Peng sighed.
"It's useless for us to think too much, we still need the emperor's will. As for Jiaxuan, there is no need to give so many resources, it is a waste of manpower and material resources, let's toss it myself, with my name, she will not die and will not die. The old man's words decided that Jiaxuan would suffer a lot in the future.
"It's okay, if you suffer a little, you will know that your family is good." Shangguan Hao made a statement.
This time Mingzhu didn't speak for her. It's really a little sad, and I'm too lazy to lift that energy.
"When we come back from the palace, we will go to Shangxiang. Would you like to bring your sisters and visit the host by the way? Mingzhu looked at everyone who was made by herself, and changed the topic.
"It's fine, but don't get your hopes up, the host is not taught by everyone." Shangguan Peng smiled and said.
"You have to try." Zhang glared at her husband.
"Am I not afraid that you will be disappointed?"
"You should also go back and rest, finish the master's homework, I will check it tomorrow, and don't go if you can't finish it." Mingzhu glanced at her sisters, and suddenly made a noise to drive people away.
"Yes." Mingya and the three of them took a look. He bowed and stepped back.
"Second uncle, do you think the third sister has a chance?" Her words are vague, but the second uncle's fox-like brain should understand what she means.
Shangguan Peng touched his chin and thought for a moment. Shaking his head slightly, "The second child still has two chances, but Jia Zhen's identity has fallen another level, I'm afraid it's not qualified enough." ”
"What if the host is willing to accept Jiazhen as a disciple? Doesn't it work? I really think the eldest prince is still a good person. Although not very shrewd people. But it's also a good character. ”
"Difficult! She doesn't have a chance, if Mingya is old enough, there are still two chances. Shangguan Peng shook his head and denied Mingzhu's idea.
"Since that's the case, forget it, it's just my own thoughts."
"I know you love your sister, but there are some things that you can't ask for." Shangguan Peng smiled gently.
"Hey! It's a pity, you don't know that the emperor looks at Concubine Jin differently. Mingzhu smacked her lips and sighed.
"Oh?" Shangguan Peng and Big Brother Daddy glanced at each other, and there was something else in each other's eyes.
On the second day, Mingzhu followed the old lady's family and their children to Huangjue Temple to incense and was received by the host.
"Host, the little girl has a request. My sister loves to draw, but she didn't have the opportunity to be taught by a famous teacher. I wonder if the host is willing to give some advice? After discussing with her family, Mingzhu decided that she would speak first, if there were signs of loosening in the host, let the Zhang family come forward, so that there would be room for reluctance.
"Oh, which one is it, call me to see, if you have a spirit, you can point me out." The host is about the same age as the old man, he is charitable and harmonious, and he is a high monk.
"Master Xie, Master Xie!" Mingzhu was immediately overjoyed, and immediately got up from the futon and rushed out, leaving a sentence, "I'll go find my sister." ”
"Hey! This kid is so reckless, don't blame the master! The old lady smiled angrily.
"It doesn't matter, the eldest lady is a blessed child, you don't have to be nervous about what you are worried about, there will always be trouble and prosperity." The master smiled slightly.
The old lady's heart jumped, and she and her two daughters-in-law glanced at each other, and there was an occasional surprise on each other's faces.
After a while, Jia Zhen came in, and the host looked at it, smiled and nodded, "You can make a picture for me at will." ”
Jia Zhen was a little nervous, nodded slightly, Mingzhu prepared paper and ink for her, and smiled at her encouragingly.
Jia Zhen took a deep breath and calmed down, pondered for a while, and then began to put down the pen, and after a while, the drawing was finished.
Everyone turned their heads to see what she was drawing, and Jia Zhen painted a peach blossom tree and a small lake in the backyard of the temple, a few small fish, and a crawling turtle.
The whole picture is clean and elegant, the peach blossoms are delicate and moving, a few brushstrokes outline the glazed tiles of the temple, and there is a faint curling cigarette smoke, creating a simple and elegant scene, although it is not a painting of many exquisite, but there is a bit of spirituality and elegance in it.
"Well, yes, your vision is still good, I accepted this apprentice." The master smiled with satisfaction after seeing it, and squeezed his eyes at Mingzhu, quite an old naughty boy's posture.
"Thank you, master, I brought you a few vegetarian recipes, which have been handed over to the little monk, you can feast on them!" Mingzhu opened her mouth with a smile.
"Well, it won my heart." The master smiled, like a Maitreya Buddha.
"Master Xie!" Jia Zhen clasped her hands excitedly, her eyes shining brightly, and she was so beautiful that she was delighted.
"Well, in the future, you will hand me some paintings every few days to see, I also have some famous calligraphy and paintings here for you to take back and copy, and I will accept them when I go back, my own paintings are not limited to any scenery, but you have to paint them yourself, and the copying is counted separately, regardless of time." The master made a number of requests.
"Yes." Jia Zhen wrote it down carefully, and secretly made up her mind that she must study hard.
After the master briefly instructed a few words, Mingzhu and Jia Zhen and the others withdrew, leaving only the old lady and the master to talk about Buddhism.
Jia Zhen looked at Zhang's and blushed shyly, "Thank you mother for running around for me like this, I'm so happy!" She smiled sweetly, her eyes full of joy.
"Since you worship the master as a master, you must study hard and don't live up to everyone's expectations." Zhang's eyes were gentle and loving.
"Mm-hmm, I'll try." Jia Zhen nodded repeatedly.
"It's so smooth today, I thought there was no hope." Zhang also turned his head and said with a smile to Yongtai.
"It's Jia Zhen, this kid has a sense and a quiet temperament, and the master probably takes a fancy to this." Yongtai also feels that Jiazhen's paintings and characters are very comfortable, and the style is different from that of Mingzhu. (To be continued.) )
