After Sanchun and Daiyu sat down in Jia Baoyu's room, Tanchun asked Yingchun: "Second sister, do you remember what the eldest sister looked like back then?" ”

When Yuan Chun entered the palace, Tanchun didn't have much memory, only a hazy impression. Yingchun is a few years older than her, and she probably remembers it better than her.

Yingchun thought about it with her cheeks and said, "The eldest sister is a very good person, she is very good to the younger brothers and sisters in our family, and she is also very beautiful. When Baoyu was a child, she liked to chase her big sister the most, and he would go wherever the big sister went, and often pestered the big sister to eat candy. But my wife wouldn't let Baoyu eat candy, and the eldest sister would take out the money and ask someone to bring him a lot of small toys from outside to play with, even my third sister and I got it.

By the way, once Baoyu robbed the third sister's little windmill, the third sister kept crying, and later Baoyu was trained by the big sister for this matter, ho ho. ”

"Huh?" Tanchun blushed. Yingchun smiled: "At that time, the third sister didn't seem to be two years old. ”

Hearing this, Tanchun suddenly felt embarrassed again, and glanced at Jia Baoyu, as if he was denouncing him: Hmph, you second brother, I was bullied by you at such a young age!

Where did Jia Baoyu know about these public cases, he just smiled and said: "Third sister, what do you see me doing, you are two years old, I am only three or four years old, and besides, I don't blame you for causing me to be trained!" ”

"Giggles." But it is the brightest smile of the lively Xichun from the sidelines. She is the youngest, and she is estimated to have just been born when Yuan Chun entered the palace, but this does not prevent her from listening to her brothers and sisters tell these interesting things.

"Originally, Baoyu was naughty when he was a child, and the maids and grandmothers didn't dare to mess with him, but for a long time after that time, Baoyu didn't dare to mess with the third sister again, for fear that she would cry ......"

"Giggle......

They are talking and laughing here, and the maids are listening with pointed ears on the side, and the atmosphere is very harmonious. Jia Baoyu found Daiyu sitting alone by the window, her face was depressed, and she didn't say a word, Jia Baoyu thought about it slightly and knew that Daiyu was because she heard these sentimentals.

She has been lonely and weak since she was a child, she originally had a younger brother, but she also died young, and now she hears these childhood jokes between the brothers and sisters of the Jia family, how can it not make her sad?

Jia Baoyu suddenly lowered his voice, leaned over to Tanchun and Yingchun, and said, "I'll tell you a secret...... Last night I told Sister Lin a joke, I said that there was a fool in the past, and when others asked her anything, she said no, so I asked Sister Lin if she had ever heard this joke, and she said no......"

Tanchun and the others saw that Jia Baoyu was suddenly mysterious, and thought that Jia Baoyu was going to say something, but Xichun also ran over to listen.

As a result, several people didn't understand what Jia Baoyu meant for a while, so they all cast inquiring glances at Daiyu.

Sure enough, the mystery of everyone attracted Daiyu's attention back, her clear eyes looked at everyone, and when she heard Jia Baoyu make up rumors, she immediately retorted: "Nonsense, I didn't ......"

Before she finished speaking, looking at Jia Baoyu's smug gaze, Daiyu knew that she had fallen into the trap by mistake, her little face suddenly turned dark, and she was about to find trouble with Jia Baoyu when she stood up.

Jia Baoyu hurriedly hid behind Xichun, grabbed her shoulders, and used her as a shield.

Daiyu was afraid of accidentally hurting Xichun, and the rat bogey device couldn't hit Jia Baoyu at all, so she was so angry that she said to Xichun: "You still don't go away!" ”

"Giggles...... "Xichun smiled and said, "Brother Bao grabbed me, I can't leave......"

"You!" Daiyu was angry, and listened to Jia Baoyu begging for mercy behind Xichun, so she snorted and walked back.

She didn't want to give up, and wanted to make a surprise move, and sneak attack when Jia Baoyu let go of Xichun. But seeing that Jia Baoyu didn't relax at all, she still stared at her vigilantly, and Daiyu, who knew that she couldn't succeed, had to sit down reluctantly.

"He's talking nonsense, I didn't see him last night!"

Daiyu made a final statement.

Jia Baoyu said: "That's my mistake, maybe it was ...... the night before" Daiyu flew over with a sharp look, and Jia Baoyu suddenly changed his words: "Yes, I said it when I dreamed the night before, and I forgot who I said it to ......."

"Hehehe."

Yingchun Tanchun smiled, and he didn't tell if there was such a thing, but he just thought Jia Baoyu's appearance was very interesting.

Ying Chunyin said: "Brother Bao is getting more and more narrow, and he actually made up such words, it is estimated that he really learned from the second sister-in-law of Lian." ”

Daiyu sneered: "He, now that he is the uncle of the country, where do he still put us little girls in his eyes, naturally he is just using them for fun!" ”

The crowd laughed again.

The attacker walked in at this time, took a roll in his hand, and said to Jia Baoyu: "This is something that an old mother sent in by Mingyan, saying that the second master asked for something." ”

Jia Baoyu's eyes lit up, and he immediately took it.

"What is it?" Yingchun and others were curious.

Jia Baoyu opened the roll, took a look, a smile appeared on his face, and then he didn't hide it, walked to the desk, and poured out the contents with a bang.

"What is this?" Welcoming spring, exploring spring, and cherishing spring, including Daiyu, who was still angry, all came around.

"Is it chopsticks?"

Xichun looked at the small wooden sticks scattered on the table and asked. Then he picked it up and looked at it, and said, "But I've never seen chopsticks like this." ”

The outside was wood, and from both ends, there was a circle of black stuff inside.

Tanchun also asked: "Second brother, what are you doing here?" I think you look like you're happy? ”

Jia Baoyu explained: "These things are called pencils. You can use it to write. ”

"Pencils? Write? Miharu and others expressed disbelief.

"I've never seen a pen like this."

Daiyu looked at it for a long time, picked up one, handed it to Jia Baoyu, and the look in her eyes was very clear: You said you could write, let's take a look if you write one!

Jia Baoyu naturally understood what Daiyu meant, took the "pen", and said to the attacker: "Bring a knife?" ”

"Knives? Is scissors OK? ”

"Well, that's fine."

So the attacker went looking for scissors.

Jia Baoyu walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down, and took out a piece of paper.

These pencils were naturally made by Mingyan according to his instructions and found a craftsman outside. Speaking of which, the process of pencil is very simple, only two materials are needed to make graphite and clay, and the pencil lead can be made. With a pencil lead, you can make a simple pencil by wrapping it with wood.

Sanchun and Daiyu all came over, among which Daiyu and Xichun were on the left, Yingchun and Tanchun were on the right, and there were several girls such as Xiangling leaning their necks in front of them, all wanting to see how Bao Erye wrote with wood.

The attacker brought the scissors, and Jia Baoyu used them to sharpen the pencil. At this time, he realized that there was still a difference in the skills of the times.

Although the thickness and length of these pencils are not much different from the pencils in memory, as soon as they are sharpened, the material of the wood feels very hard. This is his own negligence, forgetting to explain it deliberately.

Moreover, I don't know what kind of adhesive is used at the close of the two wooden blocks, and it is also very hard, which makes the pencil very difficult to sharpen, and because it is a pair of scissors, Jia Baoyu almost poked his hand, causing a sound of worry next to him......

Jia Baoyu deliberately sharpened the pencil, and then buried his head in writing. Seeing that everyone's heads were turned over, Jia Baoyu still covered them with his hands, and didn't show them for the time being, and only let go after writing.

Tanchun was quick to pick up the paper, but said, "What is written here, there is nothing on it." ”

The others also left Jia Baoyu's side to take a look, but they didn't see anything.

"Third sister, take a closer look?"

Tanchun looked at it carefully, and then found that there was really a little trace on it, the small one was like an ant, no, smaller than an ant. When I looked closely, it was actually three words: Lin Daiyu.

Tanchun saw it, but the others didn't see it, so they all snatched the paper from Tanchun's hand.

Tanchun felt strange, let the others look at it, walked to Jia Baoyu's side, took the pencil in his hand, and said, "This is really a pen, how can the words written so small?" I almost didn't even see it! ”

Jia Baoyu smiled: "Naturally, I deliberately wrote it very small. After speaking, he casually waved a book on a piece of paper: "Jia Tanchun".

The trend of the brush, with the fortitude of the hard pen, these three words, really write a little elegant and free air.

Tanchun was immediately attracted, and picking it up was like watching calligraphy.

At this time, other people also looked at the "ant character" deliberately written by Jia Baoyu, and they were all amazed that the word could still be written so small.

Tanchun suddenly said: "The second brother may ...... this Pencil, give me one? ”

"Of course, even if the third sister takes it, it's not a valuable thing."

Tanchun smiled, picked the most well-proportioned one from the table and put it in his sleeve pocket.

Tanchun Xi calligraphy, in her boudoir, there are even a lot of celebrity calligraphy. People who love calligraphy can't help but study it whenever they see a new and beautiful font.

When she saw that Jia Baoyu's pencil writing was very different (strange and unconventional), she immediately felt that this might be a new school of calligraphy.

Jia Baoyu looked at Tanchun solemnly, and said: "These are just made by people, and they are not very good, when I make good ones in the future, I will send someone to give them to the third sister." The third sister also saw it, so be careful when sharpening the pencil, and don't hurt your hand. ”

"Got it, thank you second brother." Tanchun smiled back.

Daiyu and the others may not be as happy as Tanchun, but they still asked for one and prepared to take it back to play.

Qingwen watched from the side for a long time, and suddenly smiled and said, "I know what the second master is doing with these things." ”

When she spoke, she immediately attracted everyone's attention. Qingwen smiled, walked to the bookshelf, flipped through it, found a piece of paper, and said, "Ah, you see, this is painted by the second master before, telling me to sit motionless for half an hour, and my neck is almost broken." ”

Sanchun and the others took it and looked at it, and it was a girl painted on it, and it was very obvious that it was Qingwen, because the expression on her face was very vivid.

"Before, I saw the second master draw on paper with the charcoal burned in the kitchen, and then sharpened the carbon, just like he did, I knew that the second master made this thing, and he also got it to paint."

Qingwen said, looking at Jia Baoyu very confidently.

Although Jia Baoyu doesn't like people looking at him with such a look, he still has to say that Qingwen, this little girl, is very smart, and it is so easy to guess his intention to get a pencil.

That's right, the pencil, he used it for painting. Writing is just a secondary function.

In this era, everyone used a brush to write, unless he could change the habits of the people of the time and make everyone accustomed to using a pencil, so that he could make a fortune with the pencil.

But this is very difficult, he doesn't have the aura of a tyrant who shakes his body and the clouds of the world......

Therefore, the pencil is just a tool he uses to express a "craft".

Sketch....

A gentleman has six arts, and Jia Baoyu has been pondering, he should have some different means, whether it is to attract people's attention or to tease sisters and maids, they are all useful skills.

He wasn't an art student in his previous life, but he had studied some sketching and felt that he was talented in it!

Therefore, after he studied the current Danqing technique, he found that he was definitely not as good as any predecessors such as Zhao Mengfu and Gu Kaizhi for this kind of freehand thing, so he thought of such a thing as "sketching".

In this way, even if someone steals this "craft" in the future, it doesn't matter, as the originator of the mountain, whether he is good or not must be authoritative in one sentence......

No one wants to surpass themselves!
