Chapter Seventy-Five: Painting and Talking
Jade looked at the contents of the purse, and saw that it was two red gold plum blossom naked, one of which was two or two heavy, and these two naked men could beat the bracelet. Cuiyu could see such a precious thing there, and she couldn't help but hurry up and return it to Qiubi.
Qiu Bi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just fun, every time we come to the festival, under the New Year, the girls, the lord, the lady, the young master, the young grandmother, all give this as a reward, where do I have more." Just take it. β
The jade is no more than Qiubi, so it has to be put away.
Qiu Bi said: "I think Miss Shi's painting is still very good, and I have been learning for many years, right?" Why did the concubine of an official eunuch come out and just take you alone? β
Cuiyu immediately said, "How does my sister know about our family's situation?" Our family has a large population, only the lord has a fortune, many concubines, concubines, and concubines. Our girl also has a brother-in-law, and the rest are those brothers and sisters who are concubines, and the younger sisters have little land in the family, no business, and the master's official position is not big, only five grades, how can this idea be enough to support a large family. Fortunately, our girl is a concubine, with a big girl like me, and two little maids waiting. Those girls are only a little maid. Naturally, it's going to be a little greener. Sister, how many of you are serving your girls? β
Qiu Bi stretched out her finger and counted: "Our girl has four of us personal maids waiting, and there are four other first-class maids, and the status is under our personal maids, there are eight second-class and sixteen third-class." In addition, there are ten rough mothers-in-law, and a wet nurse. β
Jade closed her mouth in surprise.
After a while, Qiubi returned. Wen Hui saw Qiu Bi, at this time she had already painted portraits of the three ladies, of course, they were all simple, if they were according to the normal painting method, even one lady would not be able to finish painting this idea. Rao is so. also shocked Mrs. Dong and Miss Shi Yuesi, who were superb in painting.
Chen Wenhui glanced at her mother beside her. Bai Shi immediately realized and said, "Hui'er, you should be tired, right?" Sisters and sisters, the child is also tired, so it is better to let the child go to the house another day and paint it for you. β
As soon as I said that. The rest of the ladies all woke up, this is a county lord, a girl from the Xiao Chen family, but she is not an ordinary painter, how can she let people paint here without taking a sip of tea. They all smiled and dispersed, and a few ladies really wanted this kind of portrait, so they held Wen Hui's hand affectionately, and asked Wen Hui to go to their house to play in two days. There were also two bracelets that took off their hands and brought them to Wen Hui, saying that they were meeting gifts. The ladies who got the portraits, especially Mrs. Dong. Not only did he give Wen Hui a meeting gift, or a jade bracelet, or a gold bracelet, but also politely invited Wen Hui and the Bai family to sit in the house another day, and solemnly thanked Wen Hui for giving the portrait.
Wen Hui and the Bai family socialized for a long time. to rest. Wen Hui gave her mother a look, and took Qiu Bi to a secluded place under the pretext of changing clothes, and Qiu Bi told her all about what she had heard. Wen Hui had a score in her heart and said, "What do you think of this master and servant? β
Qiu Bi said: "I think that the two masters and servants are not deeply involved in the world, and the family is not rich, and their hearts are still kind. Otherwise, you can't give it to the sisters who are out of the house. Girl, look at our mansion, Miss Wenjin took care of the fourth girl and the fifth girl, where is it like this stone girl. β
Wen Hui nodded and said, "Well, I think this stone girl is also very smart, and she is a gentle and quiet person. That's right, let's give her this creation. Qiubi. You quietly invited Princess Lichuan to the big rock over there. I don't see anyone there, or let Princess Lichuan arrange a quiet room, and I'll talk to her. β
Qiu Bi hurriedly nodded and agreed. Wen Hui slowly walked into the crowd alone. As soon as he entered the crowd, a blushing girl appeared next to him. said to Wen Hui: "Sister of the Chen family, my father is Master Shi of the Criminal Department, and my name is Shi Yuesi, I want to ask you a question, okay?" β
Wen Hui looked at it, it was really good, and she was about to make friends with this Shi Yuesi, but she took the initiative to come to the door. Wen Hui immediately smiled and said, "This is Sister Shi, I was looking at your paintings just now, I am really skilled, I must have studied for many years?" β
Shi Yuesi was even more ashamed, half loud, and said, "Miss Chen, where can I be considered to have profound skills?" It's far worse than the minister's girl. It's just that I have loved painting since I was a child, and since I was five years old, my parents taught me to draw, and when I grew up, my father hired a teacher to teach me how to draw. Later, because of an incident, I accidentally met the great painter Qiu Zijie, and he was blinded by his old man and accepted as an apprentice. It's just that although my painting skills are not very good, I think that I have followed my teacher for so many years, this is still the way I have seen the painting of various families, only Miss Chen's sketching and painting method is really unheard of, and I feel itchy for a while, I want to learn from Miss Chen, I don't know if it's okay? β
Wen Hui enthusiastically took Shi Yuesi's hand and said, "Sister, don't call me Miss Chen, it's troublesome." My name is Chen Wenhui, you can just call me Wenhui, or Hui'er. I said why is my sister's painting skills so good, it turned out to be Qiu Zijie's proud protΓ©gΓ©, what a famous teacher and a high apprentice. I once copied Master Qiu's paintings. I admire the one he painted by the old man. As for what my sister said about my little skill of carving insects, it is really a trick, if my sister is curious, you might as well come to our house in two days to play with me, I will definitely tell my sister about this skill. β
Shi Yuesi was overjoyed when she said this, and she didn't know what to say.
At this time, Qiu Bi gave Wen Hui a look. Wen Hui said: "Sister Shi and I hit it off at first sight, it's better to set a date, tomorrow I have time in the afternoon, please invite my sister to our house for tea in the afternoon, and I will send someone to send you a post tomorrow morning." You have to come. I have some things, we'll talk about it later. β
Shi Yuesi didn't expect Wen Hui to be so refreshing, she originally wanted to be humble, but she was afraid of delaying Wen Hui's matter, so she had to agree. Wen Hui left with Qiu Bi.
For a while, I left Xiaolinzi and came to a delicate small house, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Princess Lichuan drinking tea there. Princess Lichuan said, "Quirky little girl, what do you have to say to me?" But you've observed the character of these girls, and you want to tell me about it? β
Chen Wenhui stroked her palms and laughed and said, "Sister Princess is really a glass-hearted person, how can she be so smart." It was during this time that I spent time in the garden with these girls that I told you about these things. β
Princess Lichuan said: "Originally, if you don't come, I also planned to call you over, because I thought before that these girls must show their best side in front of us, so that we can't see the real thing." I am on the mission given by my mother, and if I choose someone else, I will make trouble in the future, and it will not be good-looking. Therefore, I plan to let you and the Bai family sisters be a dark eye for me. I have already sent someone to call the Bai family sisters. After a while, they came, and you spoke together. β
Chen Wenhui laughed, and was about to speak, when the Bai family sisters had already arrived. Princess Lichuan hurriedly said: "Time is limited, you can talk quickly." β
The Bai family sisters talked about the cousins of the girls in these gardens, and they also talked about the Zhao family sisters, as well as Tian Minyi and their quarrels.
Chen Wenhui waited for them to finish and said, "I also want to talk about one person, that is, a girl named Shi Yuesi who painted with me. I look at her painting style, smart and lively, meticulous observation, she is a smart person, and her painting skills are very profound, if I don't find another way, I can't win her. She can have such deep painting skills at a young age, which shows that she is a quiet person. I think she's good, and I deliberately let the maid find out, she is the daughter of a five-grade official Shi in the Criminal Department, her family background is average, only a little land and her father's money, there are many aunts in the family, and there are many concubines, so life is not good. She's been honed very well. β
Princess Lichuan said: "Well, this Tian Minyi, I read her poems before, she is magnificent, her appearance is also very cute, and people also look delicate and cute, thinking it is a good one." But in this way, I think there is something wrong with her poems, which don't look like poems that can be written by a lady at all, most of them were ghostwritten by her grandfather. That's not a good idea. is the boss of the Zhao family, I still like it, the dance is very beautiful, the person is also human, and the identity is good. In this way, I really can't choose her. β
Bai Yuyan said: "That's it, the two sisters of the Zhao family are very angry, don't choose them." β
Wen Hui said: "Sister Princess Lichuan, I think you can choose the boss of the Zhao family, because she is reckless and has no brains, such a person enters the palace, in fact, he is a good knife, as long as he controls it well." As for that Tian Minyi, she still doesn't want it. Such a person who specializes in transferring three litters and four and also harming friends will just cause trouble, so I don't have to let my aunt worry about it. There is also this Shi Yuesi, I think she is gentle and kind, and it is very good to choose her to do something for my eldest aunt. β
Princess Lichuan glanced at Wen Hui deeply and said, "Well, you are very thoughtful. Well, there must be noble ones, such as the sisters of the Zhao family, lest they are all petty officials, and the daughters of the concubines will laugh at their fathers. The boss of the Zhao family is easy to handle, and his family background is good, so he can be a good knife. This Shi Yuesi is also good, gentle and kind, just to be a companion for the concubine. There's one missing, do you have any other options? β
