Chapter Seventy-Nine: Specializing in the Art of Painting
How could Chen Wenhui know that Shi Yuesi had already turned around a few times in a desperate situation in the morning. She was very happy to return home at noon. The construction of the hospital is progressing very quickly, and because it is starting at the same time, the construction of the three Yangseon Halls in Gyeonggi is almost completed, and the staff inside are also being trained, so I think it will be put into use next month.
At noon in the Golden Jade Hall, those ladies were fascinated by the exquisite specialties of the South Seas, beeswax, clams, pearls, tortoiseshell, ivory of various jewelry, ornaments sold a lot, I believe that after a while, these will blow a wave of fashion in the capital, and the business of the Golden Jade Hall will be better at that time.
Tang Guanghui's shop owner is a man of action, has begun to recruit apprentices, at noon Chen Wenhui asked, Tang Guanghui was very happy to Chen Wenhui said, has recruited more than 400 people, and they are all skilled people, when apprentices are a little lost, this is because of the large population in the capital, there are many craftsmen, second, the black family gives a lot of monthly money, so it can attract a large number of talents to defect.
Chen Wenhui has been able to foresee that in the future, the black family will recruit more and more apprentices in the Central Plains, so that the skills of the black family will bring integration and progress to the skills of the Central Plains, which is to promote scientific and technological progress. That's in the big picture. From a small place, the black family is getting stronger and stronger, isn't the power of his own family also getting stronger and stronger? At the very least, because of the addition of these apprentices, the order can be completed smoothly, so after two or three months, the dividends will be more and more.
Chen Wenhui thought beautifully, at this time, Qiu Bi came to report that Shi Yuesi had arrived.
Chen Wenhui is very happy, this girl who only has one side, Chen Wenhui already likes it a little. Moreover, Chen Wenhui likes painting herself, and she also likes people who love painting, so it would be a good thing if there were more girls of the same age to exchange paintings.
In the afternoon of this day, Chen Wenhui and Shi Yuesi were drinking tea. Enjoy the flowers and exchange painting skills. Chen Wenhui really did not reserve to teach Shi Yuesi some Western painting skills such as sketching. Of course, this is not something that can be taught in a simple afternoon. Therefore, Chen Wenhui and Shi Yuesi agreed that every afternoon in the future, Shi Yuesi would go to Chen Wenhui's house. The two of them communicate with each other and paint together.
Chen Wenhui is very emotional, the painting skills of the ancients are actually very powerful, this Shi Yuesi because of the reason for following the famous teacher, there is indeed a lot worth learning from Chen Wenhui in painting. Chen Wenhui can already imagine that in a month or two, Chen Wenhui's painting skills will make great progress, and Shi Yuesi's painting skills will also make great progress. Moreover, Shi Yuesi also promised to wait for her teacher to come back. Be sure to introduce Chen Wenhui to her teacher. For this famous painter in Dachu, Chen Wenhui still wants to see it.
After Shi Yuesi went back, Chen Wenhui was still studying and painting there. Qiu Bi made a cup of tea and came over and said, "Girl, I just chatted with that jade for a while. ”
Wen Hui thought for a while before she realized that it was Shi Yuesi's personal maid. He asked, "Oh?" What she said. ”
Qiu Bi told the Shi family what happened in the Shi family that night with some emotion. Chen Wenhui also sighed with emotion: "It's really difficult for poor couples." ”
Qiu Bi sneered and laughed: "What kind of poor couple? This stone girl is a girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Am I giving an example, in fact, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." However, you don't have to worry about their master and servant, in a few days, there should be a holy decree in the palace, and when the time comes, she will become a noble person in the palace. Are you afraid that you won't have any money? There are many people who are willing to send money to the door. ”
Qiu Bi thought about it, so she said, "What about these days?" Shall we help them? ”
Chen Wenhui said: "This is not necessary, it is good to endure hardships." In the future, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking in the palace, but I have to experience more hardships, so it's a good thing to prepare in advance. And, you know there's a saying. Dou Mien, Shengmi hatred. If you give a little benefit, they will remember it for a lifetime, and if you give more, you may have an opinion about us in the future. ”
Qiubi said, "Okay." Just listen to the girl's orders, anyway, the girl makes sense. ”
In Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Chen Guifei had already received a report from Princess Lichuan. A man was thinking. This time, the girl from the Li family should be allowed in. After all, there are too many people from the Chen family in the harem now, and they will attract discussions, and if a girl from the Li family also comes in, there will be nothing to say about those people. Moreover, in the past few days, the emperor misses the life of being a prince in the past, which inevitably thinks of two people, one is the emperor's wife Li, and the other is the emperor's favorite person Ying. Whenever the emperor misses the past and misses the winning family, he will be very good to Concubine Wande. Then if she wants to contain Concubine Wande, she should also bring in the girl of the Li family, and let the emperor think about the dead wife Li.
In addition to the Li family, the girl from the Zhao family could also let her in. After all, the girl of the Zhao family represents the military generals, although her Lichuan princess is also the daughter-in-law of the military generals, but it is only a faction of the navy. In the Northwest Army, the most powerful is the loyal and righteous man who is fighting outside. If you can get the supposedly reckless Zhao family girl to the palace, you will definitely be able to get the connections of the loyal and righteous faction, and it will be easier for you to become the queen.
Another point, the emperor's thoughts, if the emperor knew that he had chosen Miss Zhao from the military general's family, he would definitely praise himself for knowing how to help him win people's hearts. And when she sees the girl of the Li family, she will definitely think of the Empress Dowager Li, his mother's family, and his wife Li, and she will be even more moved.
As for the third candidate, according to what Wen Hui said, choose the girl from the little official Shi's family. Such a quiet and gentle girl can also be an arm for herself in the future.
With her mind decided, Chen Guifei was ready to call someone from the Internal Affairs Office to come over and check on the families of the three girls. As for the girl from the Wang family, who also won the first place, she will definitely not consider it. Chen Guifei has the intention of letting all the people of the Wang family die, how can she help the girl of the Wang family enter the palace and fight with her. and Tian Shangshu's granddaughter Tian Minyi, who didn't even think about it, such a frivolous and thoughtful girl, did she get in to find trouble for herself?
After such a person was chosen, the Internal Affairs Office did not dare to slack off, and immediately began to investigate the families of the three girls in accordance with the regulations. This investigation is known to everyone in the capital, and this is a person who has chosen. The Li family was naturally happy, and the Li family hurriedly sent a message to the clan land, the Li family's girl entering the palace was a major event, according to the convention, the clan paid for the dowry, and the Li family's girl would definitely be sent to the palace in a glorious manner.
The Zhao family is also very happy, Zhao Yuman's mother is very excited, on the one hand to the loyal and righteous prince who is outside, on the other hand, with the help of her son and daughter-in-law, to prepare a dowry for her daughter, anyway, the loyal and righteous family is not short of money, and it must be prepared for a grand event, so that the daughter can live better in the palace.
The Shi family was completely unexpected, Aunt Yanhong was fighting with Shi Yuesi, quarreling for three days, making trouble for five days, Shi Yuesi was angry, so she put her mind on learning to paint with Wen Hui, and the quiet time every afternoon became Shi Yuesi's greatest happiness.
When the news came, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites began to retrieve information about Lord Shi, Lord Shi believed that it was true. Yan Hong was dumbfounded, thinking of the persecution of Shi Yuesi for a period of time, she shuddered.
Moreover, as Yan Hong expected, there were already many colleagues and relatives who came to walk around with their family, and the number of gifts was increasing, and the life of the Shi family was even better. The day she imagined had really come, and it was even better than she expected. The gift-givers are all high-end things, and there are even more money-givers. In recent years, the economic development of Dachu has been very fast, and businessmen have become richer and have come to invest. The Jin family that Yan Hong imagined before really came. As soon as it was shot, it was 100,000 taels of silver. and the Shen family, who had supported Concubine Wande back then, actually came, and it was 100,000 taels of silver when he made a move. Lord Shi couldn't close his mouth happily. What made Lord Shi happier than the money was that in the ministry, his official position was not big and he was not welcomed. Now it's completely different, even Lord Shangshu and Lord Shilang are kind to him. Lord Shi seems to be able to see the scene of his rising clouds.
However, this qiē did not interest Shi Yuesi, when she was poor, she was fond of painting, but now that she is developed and there are more flatterers, she is not interested, she is still fond of painting. Moreover, she admired Wen Hui more and more. Wen Hui helped her when she was most difficult and even desperate. Although it was just some silk and two small golden mules, it was indeed an emergency that saved her. After that, Chen Wenhui never gave her any more money, just some pen, ink, paper, inkstone, paints and other things, as well as some exquisite pastries. Not only did they invite their master and servant to eat, but they also brought some to her and let her take them back to her bedridden mother. The craftsmanship of the Chen family is really good, and the mother who has been ill for a long time also likes the Chen family's pastries very much, and eats a lot of them. Later, when she was ready to enter the palace, there were more people giving gifts, and there were people who gave 100,000 taels of silver, but Chen Wenhui was still the same as always, which made her feel at ease. thinks that this is a real good friend, and she is very fortunate that she can still meet a friend like Wen Hui during the period when she is about to enter the palace.
In addition to Shi Yuesi's unmoved, there is another person in the Shi family who is not happy at all, and this person is Yan Hong. Qiē has developed according to her expectations, but when she thinks of what she has done during this period of time, she can't wait to beat herself up, what can she do? In the future, if Shi Yuesi becomes the mother of the palace, won't she die without a place to be buried?
