Chapter 500: Frolicking and Gossiping
Babbling, Sister Bao, I haven't seen you draw seriously before, why are you so good? The same scenery, I just painted the appearance, no, even the appearance is not very good, my sister painted not only beautiful, but also like with charm, really beautiful! Sister Bao, you're amazing. ”
When the Daiyu sisters and sisters-in-law entered the Wuyuan, as soon as they arrived on the porch, they heard the crisp children's voice of Xichun, accompanied by the ultimate praise and worship.
"Look at what you said, who is born with it, when I was as old as you, I was not as good as you, you just have to learn to draw......"
Baochai smiled and handed the manuscript paper of his demonstration of painting to Xichun, looked up and saw everyone coming in, and hurriedly pulled out of the table to meet him: "Why are you here?" ”
"Let's see what you, the big gentleman, teach the little apprentice to be? Well, it looks pretty good. ”
Li Kun was the first to laugh.
Hearing this, he raised his head and smiled shyly, but he was not polite, and continued to bury his pen and study his own affairs.
After so many days, Sister Bao finally taught her the ability to press the bottom of the box herself, she has to study hard, so that she can better complete the tasks assigned by Jia's mother, so that the second brother can not underestimate herself, and when he comes back, she can justifiably ask for a reward......
Xichun wants to study hard, but she has an unreliable sister.
"Let me see what Sister Bao painted." Xiangyun stepped forward and took away her template and looked at it.
She also admires Baochai, and after listening to Xichun's praise for Baochai just now, she was naturally curious.
The others saw Xichun's nose wrinkled, and their faces were a little bitter, and they all smiled heartily.
Daiyu also glanced at it with her head, and then said with a smile: "It's really good at painting, it's better than Zhao Mengfu, Gu Kaizhi, Wu Daoxuan and others, the fourth sister has to study hard and learn this ability, maybe your family will have a female painting saint." ”
The last words, Daiyu said to Li Kun.
The few people she ordered were the most prestigious figures in the history of Danqing, and when everyone heard it, they naturally knew that she was joking about Baochai and Xichun, and they all laughed cooperatively.
Xichun was not closer to Daiyu than other sisters, and knew that Daiyu was clever, so he didn't dare to accept her words, for fear of suffering.
Although Baochai was not afraid of Daiyu's words, she regarded herself as a sister and was more tolerant of Daiyu, so she glanced at her and didn't say anything, just let everyone sit while ordering the girl to pour tea.
Li Kun said with a smile: "I don't know if the painting is holy or not, but yes, our family will definitely produce a poetry saint in the future." ”
These words are a little unclear, and those who don't pay attention naturally don't pay much attention to them when they hear them, but Daiyu understands them almost instantly.
It's about her.
Abominable sister-in-law!
Sensing that everyone else was looking at her, Daiyu said frankly: "That's right, the second brother's poems are good." ”
The others were guided by Daiyu's words, although they felt that Li Kun's words were not interesting, but they did not study it in detail.
Li Kun looked at Daiyu and saw that Daiyu's face was not different, and she could only catch a hint of a threatening gaze when she occasionally looked at it, and she was slightly embarrassed, so she didn't poke it.
She is the eldest sister-in-law, and it is her responsibility to take care of the sisters and sisters-in-law of the family, and not to let them have conflicts and quarrels. Naturally, she didn't have the reason to take the lead in making trouble.
The sisters gathered in the same room, sat and talked for fun, and the topic naturally arose casually.
For a while, he said that he would go back to painting.
Everyone inevitably asked how far the picture of the spring garden had been.
This question made Xichun's originally sunny face collapse instantly, and he said with a sad face: "It's really too difficult to draw such a big garden, that day Lian's second sister-in-law helped find out the map of the original garden from the library, oh my God, it's too big, and the length is more than three feet."
And Sister Bao also said that it was a construction drawing drawn by a craftsman, and they were all drawn according to the real thing, and there was no skill at all, which was different from me. I am here for ornamentation, so the mountains, rocks, trees, pavilions and pavilions in the garden must be sparse according to the distance and nearness, or the priority of the guests, what should be added should be added, what should be reduced should be reduced, and what should be hidden should be hidden, so as to become a look.
There is also the nearby balustrade of the house, which must be drawn with a ruler......
It is even more difficult to intersperse characters in the painting, not only must there be a distinction between distance and proximity, but also the folds of the skirt and fingers on the person must be meticulous, and it must look like a person, otherwise it will be either lame or the fingers and arms are swollen, and it will also make jokes......"
Xichun counted the difficulties in the same way, and his face became more and more bitter.
Although everyone has a heart of schadenfreude, they are not very embarrassed because of the fact that Xichun is a young sister.
Xiangyun said: "According to me, I also blame Sister Bao, the old lady didn't think so much at the beginning, but she asked the fourth sister to draw a picture for fun, but now it's good, being taught by you like this, it's like learning to participate in the imperial examination." ”
Xichun hurriedly said: "It's not about Sister Bao, it's the ...... I want to draw by myself."
In Xichun's opinion, Jia's mother rarely arranges a task for her once a year, and if she doesn't do well, she naturally can't.
She wasn't originally from this house, but she was taken over to raise her purely because Mother Jia liked girls.
It's just that she doesn't have the self-discipline and ability of the third sister, nor the intelligence and cleverness of Sister Lin, except for Jia Baoyu, her sense of presence in front of the other elders in the family is weak.
In the past, she could still say that even if she didn't stay well here, she could go back to Dongfu. Not anymore.
She can only stay in Rongguo Mansion.
Children also have self-esteem.
She wants to do the best of what Jia Mu explained.
Xichun's thoughts are naturally not well understood by others, and it is not good to say much about her persistence.
Daiyu suddenly said: "Naturally, you can't blame Sister Bao for this matter, if you want to blame it, blame that Grandma Liu who came out of nowhere, if it weren't for her, the old lady wouldn't have asked you to draw any garden map!" ”
When everyone heard this, they all showed their approval.
Xiangyun said: "That's true, if it weren't for Grandma Liu, the old lady would not have let you draw this garden map...... Hahaha, speaking of her, do you remember how the second sister-in-law Lian and Sister Mandarin Duck teased her? But she didn't know it at all, she was still stupid there after eating, jumping and jumping, it was really interesting! ”
The people in the city of Xiangyun have never seen the "foreign turtle" behavior in the countryside.
The others remembered many of the anecdotes of that day and laughed along.
Daiyu didn't laugh, she asked Xiangyun rhetorically: "What kind of grandmother is she?" In my opinion, she is called a mother locust. ”
When everyone heard this, they laughed knowingly, and they all knew that Daiyu was referring to Grandma Liu's day, when she had to collect one or two gifts wherever she went, especially at the dinner table, the appearance of the people who did not refuse to eat and the huge amount of food, thinking about it, it was indeed like a locust crossing the border.
Baochai smiled at Daiyu: "She must have thought of these crooked words that day, but she won't have a chance to say them until today, and she will definitely make us have a stomachache." ”
Daiyu ignored her, and asked Xichun: "The ancients had an inscription whether they wrote poems or lyrics and articles, and if they wanted to paint, they were no exception. ”
Xichun was stunned and said, "What? ”
Daiyu smiled: "If not, I'll give you a question, Mo Ruo "Carrying Locusts Chewing Picture", what do you think?" ”
Xichun's eyes widened, still thinking about what Daiyu meant, and the others had already burst into laughter.
"What a Sister Lin, it's really narrow!" Tanchun covered his stomach and denounced the people who couldn't laugh.
Daiyu glanced at her, suddenly walked to Li Kun's side, and said, "The old lady called you in to teach us how to do needlework, you are good, but you brought me here to play and laugh!" ”
Although Li Kun is slow to do things, he is not a stupid person, and when he heard this, he pointed to Daiyu and said to everyone: "You see, what is the meaning of the wicked person suing first, it is clear that she took the lead in making trouble, made everyone laugh, and turned around to blame me, but there is a reason for this?"
I can't do anything with her now, and when she calls me sister-in-law one day, I'll find a way to pick her up when the time comes! ”
The sister-in-law is born to be the nemesis of the sister-in-law, because the sister-in-law is usually the mother-in-law's sweetheart, and the sister-in-law cannot be provoked......
Li Kun's meaning is obvious, she will write down the feud first, and then settle the account with her when Daiyu enters the door later.
But everyone's focus is obviously not on this, as soon as Li Kun's words came out, they immediately broke the cheerful atmosphere deliberately created by Daiyu.
Daiyu blushed, her eyes were fierce at Li Kun, her mouth was open, but she didn't make a sound, it seemed that she was slandering.
Compared with the beginning, Daiyu's immunity to this is obviously much higher, so she won't turn around and run as soon as she says this. This is naturally the credit of Jia Baoyu...... When a person does ideological work in front of you all day long, it is difficult not to change.
Daiyu stopped talking, sat down in her chair, and left the side to everyone.
Xiangyun glanced at her back, and said in a sour and joking tone: "Sister-in-law, don't say it first, don't you know how much the second brother feels sorry for her sister-in-law?" Last time, Sister Qiuwen's aunt was immediately sent out by the second brother because she said bad things about her behind her back, and even Sister Qiuwen was kicked out together.
The second brother loves her a lot, it can be seen that there is a second brother to protect her, if you want to pick her up, it will be difficult! ”
There are no impermeable walls.
Although after the last rectification, so many people who love to chew the root of their tongues have been cleaned up, even on the side of the Earl's Mansion, the You clan also heard the wind and sent several people out, which can be regarded as killing the unhealthy trend of the slave circle of Jiafu.
However, as long as you don't say bad things about your master behind your back, and your mouth is on people, who can really control it?
Daiyu's matter is naturally not a bad thing, and the rumor that came out of nowhere was later known to many people.
Naturally, let everyone clearly understand Daiyu's status.
It turns out that there are so many sisters in the family, and Bao Er Ye is still the most fond of Miss Lin!
"You damn girl."
Li Kun is a sister-in-law, and Daiyu is not good at what to do with her. For Xiangyun, she didn't have any worries, and when she saw that she was talking too much, she didn't hesitate to get up and beat her. Xiangyun dodges from ......
This scene is not too ordinary for everyone, these two people, they don't perform such a scene for ten days and a half months, but everyone is not used to it.
It's easy to wait for them to play around, because the only bit of embarrassment caused by Li Kun's words has also dissipated.
Yingchun is a soft-hearted and kind character, because of the previous topic, I remembered the scene in the house that day, and I sighed in my heart. Dozens of people were beaten before and after that day, crying and grabbing the ground, especially the first Zhou Pozi, because she was the culprit, she was beaten for half a day, thrown into the firewood room, and died within two days.
Well, sick and dead......
Although she knew that these were the ways of the big family to govern the family, she still couldn't bear it.
She likes the family to be harmonious all the time, and it's best not to even quarrel and quarrel......
However, the order to deal with it severely was given by Jia Baoyu, which made her not know what to think, because she said: "Brother Bao has been in a bad mood recently, he kicked Qiu Wen out first, and I heard that Meiqing in his house was also kicked out of Yihong Courtyard two days ago......
Tanchun and the others were still thinking deeply about what Yingchun said, and they were all wondering if Jia Baoyu had really encountered something troublesome recently, but when she heard the last sentence, she was instantly stunned.
Then he laughed.
Not only her, but Li Kun also smiled.
Yingchun didn't know what happened: "What's wrong?" ”
Li Kun said with a smile: "It's true that Qiu Wen was thrown out, as for the girl Meiqing you said, she didn't get out......
You wait, maybe it won't be long before you become the second aunt again. ”
Although there are no impermeable walls in the world, there are clearly sieves that sift the wind.
If there is, the meaning changes as it spreads.
Because Jia Baoyu was going to go far away, he happened to know that the Qin family might be pregnant, and he didn't have time to make other arrangements, in order to avoid the exposure of the Qin family's affairs during his absence, which attracted the rulings that Jia's mother or Mrs. Wang might have, he decided to send the Qin family out to raise the fetus, so as to be safe.
However, the Qin family is the person next to him, and he must not be sent out inexplicably. Therefore, he sent the Qin family over on the grounds that Du Qiuniang was sick and there was a lack of people around him to serve.
The health hall is an official office, and there are soldiers, even if it is Jia Mu and others, it is not easy to break in......
It's a very strong protection.
Sure enough, as soon as he sent the people away, there was a faint rumor in the house...... After all, with the ten thousand customs of the Qin family, coupled with the rapid promotion of status, it is difficult for no one not to guess that she has "become an aunt", and then, the news that she is "pregnant with a dragon seed" has also spread.
Jia Baoyu didn't care about these "rumors", and the reason why he hid them was for the sake of the Ye family's face.
At least when the Emperor Taishang gave the marriage, the Ye family was considered to be low-married, but in fact, it is ......
If you marry low, your husband's family will get a child out first, which is really not a face-saving thing.
Jia Baoyu thought that if she wanted to have both, she was afraid that she would have to marry Ye Zhenzhen in advance. But this involves another problem, he promised the second prince that he could find a way to dissolve the marriage contract by next summer, and he could cooperate......
Doing so will undoubtedly offend the second prince.
Although he knew in his heart that he and the second prince were not the time of Shandong in the past, but, at least on the surface, he could not owe the second prince, so that if there was an accident in the future, he would have better room for maneuver.
It seems to be a dead knot.
Having said that, the Qin family left Yihong Courtyard, and all kinds of rumors quickly spread to the ears of Jia Mu and Madam Wang......
But they didn't seem to react.
Perhaps, even if the rumors are true, since Jia Baoyu did not hesitate to send people out for this, it can be seen that his mind has been decided.
In that case, why should they bother?
Having an extra grandchild or great-grandchild is a good thing for the family.
In fact, from this point of view, the reason why ancient men and officials couldn't protect their little wives in front of their elders was that they were too cowardly......
