Chapter 35: Warm
"It's strange, this painting is not colored, but it looks a little realistic, look, isn't it exactly the same as Qingwen?"
Daiyu looked at Qingwen's portrait for a long time and commented.
Although there are many types of Danqing techniques that the ancients valued, almost all of them are expensive in freehand and do not rewrite the truth.
Jia Baoyu saw several well-known pictures of ladies in Jia Zheng's study, all of which were made by famous artists. But in Jia Baoyu's opinion, the beauties in it are really not beautiful, most of them have the same round faces, and some of them can't even distinguish their facial features......
Later, in the school, the master Liu Qingbai also taught simple Danqing skills, but Jia Baoyu only learned a little bit about it. Although the works made are much stronger than Jia Huan, but just like that, even Jia Lan can't suppress them. Jia Baoyu can only think that he has seen too many photos and photo albums in his previous life, which has made him lose his freehand endowment.
Fortunately, Old Man Liu didn't pay much attention to these side skills, and only put the Four Books and Five Classics in the first place. Therefore, he is still the wisest person in Liu Qingbai's eyes......
"Brother Bao, is this really what you painted? The painting is so similar, can you teach me? ”
Xichun is only eight or nine years old, where can she distinguish between freehand and realistic art, as long as it looks good, she thinks it is good.
It is also interesting to say, the three sisters of the Jia family, good at chess in spring, good calligraphy in spring, and cherish spring and danqing. I just don't know if Yuan Chun prefers to caress the qin, otherwise the four sisters of the Jia family just correspond to the four arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"Naturally, I painted it, in fact, it is very simple, the fourth sister wants to learn, and the elder brother is naturally teaching it."
Jia Baoyu pinched Xichun's little face by the way.
Xichun covered her face, although she felt that the second brother's actions were a little too intimate, but seeing that the second brother agreed to teach her so easily, she took the initiative to ignore it.
Anyway, everyone likes the second brother, and I like the second brother too! The second brother is very good.
Xichun was just happy when she was young, but Daiyu said: "You got this Laoshizi pencil out just to draw?" ”
"Exactly."
"If my uncle knew, he would have scolded you for not doing your job."
There is a reason here, once Jia Baoyu saw that the sisters in the family were bored, in order to enrich their leisure and entertainment projects, he imitated the playing cards that were popular in later generations and made cards, anyway, that thing is easy to get, and it is impossible for anyone to come out to him to collect royalties.
It was originally a gadget in the children's boudoir, but he was somehow known by Jia Zheng, and called him over to reprimand, saying that he didn't want to study well, but was distracted to play with those lewd things.
So much so that later the sisters and maids didn't dare to play this in the house anymore.
Later, Jia Baoyu made a trick and "inadvertently" let Jia's mother discover this game. Jia Mu is a person who loves to play cards, and often plays leaf cards, and there are similarities between playing cards and leaf cards, so Jia Mu is also easy to get started.
With Jia's mother as an example, Jia Zheng's deterrence naturally ceased to exist, and the product of playing cards did not die out as soon as it was born in the hands of Jia Baoyu.
In the face of Daiyu's ridicule and reminder, Jia Baoyu just smiled and said, "Regardless of my lord, is my sister interested in letting me paint a picture like this for you?" ”
Sure enough, Daiyu was immediately moved.
Let the second brother personally be a painter to paint himself, which is also a very romantic thing to put in the song. What's more, the second brother's painting is really good-looking. Come to think of it, with my Lin Daiyu's appearance, if it is drawn, it will definitely not lose to Qingwen's girl......
Before Daiyu could speak, the attacker next to her smiled and said: "It's late at night, let's paint again tomorrow, the second master has been busy for a day today, and it's time to rest." ”
When everyone returned to their senses, they were shocked to realize that the hour was nearly three watches. If it's too late, the mothers-in-law and mothers in the hospital should come to urge.
The sons and ladies in the big family are all educated and educated.
Jia Baoyu said to Daiyu: "Ming'er, I'll go back to my sister's house to paint my sister." ”
Daiyu's eyes rolled, which was considered a default.
"Also, the second sister, the third sister and the fourth sister are the same, I have to make a picture for the sisters one by one......"
"Good! Thank you, second brother. ”
Xichun applauded happily, and thanked him with a smile. Then Jia Baoyu sent them out.
By the time Jia Baoyu walked back, Qingwen and the others had already put the tables and chairs in place, and the bookcases had been sorted out, and then Qingwen and Musk Yue were chasing and playing.
The reason is that Musk Yue took the portrait of Qingwen before and didn't give it to her.
"Little hoof, give it to me!"
"I won't give it to you, how can I see that it is your thing, I saw you taken it out of the second master's bookshelf before, and Xiangling and the others saw it."
Seeing that Qingwen couldn't take her, she unfolded the sketch again, and said critically: "Yo, look at this little mouth, look at this eyebrows and face, it's really handsome, no wonder the second master doesn't look for so many maids, but only draws ...... for you."
Qingwen was suddenly anxious, and she was about to restrain Musk Yue with a swoop, but unfortunately although Musk Yue was teasing her, Yu Guang kept staring at her every move, and dodged away.
Qingwen lost her goal, and before she could close the momentum, she was about to hit the door panel. Fortunately, Jia Baoyu has already come over and will take her up.
"Are you alright?" The attacker who followed Jia Baoyu also said at this time: "You should also be careful when you play, what if you fall." ”
Musk Moon also walked over at this time, showing an apologetic expression to Qingwen.
Qingwen pulled out of Jia Baoyu's arms, snatched the sketch, and then said embarrassedly: "Thank you, second master......"
Jia Baoyu shook his head and said, "It's okay, I don't mind if you fall like this a few times a day, just remember that you must have me in front of you." ”
"Giggle......
Musk Moon and Raider suddenly laughed. Qingwen also blushed, glared at Jia Baoyu, and turned to hide her portrait in Jia Baoyu's bookshelf again.
Jia Baoyu saw that the attackers were staring at Qingwen's actions, so he said, "You don't have to envy her, when I have time, everyone will draw a separate picture for you." If not, I can teach you how to draw. ”
The front attackers and others also showed joy, and when they heard the latter sentence, both the attackers and the musk moon shook their heads like rattles.
"Second master, don't want it, we girls learn so many literati things. As far as we learned to read and write with the Snow Goose girl, it was enough to suffer, and we were ridiculed by other girls.
The last time I saw Mandarin Duck, she asked me, your second master has set up a private school for you in the courtyard, and invited Mr., when will you and Qingwen end up, and you will also come back with the fame of lifting people and jinshi, so as to live up to your second master's heart for you.
That little hoof, just relying on her old son's pain when she was a child, opened her to Mengxue, and knew a few words more than us, so she made fun of us! ”
The attacker said, with a smile and some resentment in his eyes.
Jia Baoyu said: "Speaking of your literacy, I have heard that you and Musk Yue are extremely not serious, and the homework assigned to you by the Snow Goose girl every day is quite bad, and the words still have not grown much, and the writing is the same as that of a dog, do you two have any explanation for this?" ”
Musk Yue immediately said: "It must be a little report from Qingwen's little hooves!" ”
Facing the unkind eyes of the attacker and Musk Yue, Qingwen said fearlessly: "Nonsense, I didn't tell the second master about this." Besides, I don't learn well, or Xiangling is the most talented, Xue Yan said, Xiangling now has almost recognized the words, and can teach us in turn. ”
Xiangling said: "No, no, this is all my sisters taking care of me, my sisters have other things to do, often have to delay, only I am the most relaxed, so I have a lot of time to learn to write......"
"You're relaxed?" Jia Baoyu turned his head to look at Xiangling.
Xiangling nodded blankly.
Jia Baoyu said: "That's right, if it's cold today, the quilt is soaked in the cold every night, and you will be responsible for warming my bed every night in the future!" Think of it as a reward for your serious studies. ”
"Huh?" Xiangling opened her mouth.
Qingwen and the others were also stunned, and then laughed coquettishly.
"Okay, good, the second master is a good statement. Why don't you go and warm the bed for the second master......" Qingwen stepped forward and grabbed Xiangling, and while pushing her to the bed, she said: "Don't shirk, this is what you deserve, who called you better than us, it only took half a year to recognize all the words, we are not as good as you, we are not worthy of warming the bed for the second master, you don't want to be modest." ”
Although Xiangling and Qingwen are the same Geng, they are much weaker than Qingwen, she can't stop Qingwen, and after a while, Qingwen was pressed on Jia Baoyu's master's bed and wrapped her in a quilt.
Musk Yue and Raider watched Qingwen bully Xiangling and didn't help, although they really didn't think that literacy was of much use to them, but they were also slanderous about Xiangling's talent and diligence in reading.
Therefore, I am happy to see Xiangling being bullied by Qingwen.
The attacker secretly glanced at Jia Baoyu, and saw that Jia Baoyu's eyes were full of smiles, and he somewhat understood the thoughts of his second master, where would he destroy the good deeds of the second master?
Besides, although there is no rule of bed warmers in Jiafu, they used to use hot water bottles and hand stoves to warm the quilt in advance every winter.
Now that the second master wants to use Xiangling to warm the bed, she has no reason to refuse, because this is indeed more convenient......
smiled and said, "The little girls have prepared all the water, the second master has been running around for a day today, why don't you go take a bath and rest, it's just right...... Just in time for the bed to be warm. ”
Jia Baoyu looked at Xiangling, who was wrapped by Qingwen and only exposed one head, nodded on the wide bed, and walked to the bathroom.
Jia Baoyu went out with the attacker and Musk Yue, Qingwen looked at Xiangling who looked at her with a pitiful look, a complicated color flashed in her eyes, and she immediately disappeared, and said with a smile: "Don't move, this is the second master's order, if you don't warm his bed, the second master will be angry later." ”
Xiangling really stopped moving.
Qingwen looked at her twice more and went out to her house.
She shouldn't be on duty tonight.
