Chapter 172: Qin Huai Hui (I)

When Zhang's invitation came, Fan Jin had just finished his paintings, and with the support of the system, he was now painting faster and faster, even if he had never seen the lady in charge of the Xu family, only relying on Xu Weizhi's description, it didn't take long. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Jiangning is not as good as Guangzhou, the southeast is originally prosperous, it is not only a capital but also an important economic town, and there are many outstanding painters. When Xu Weizhi first got the news from Xu Yin, he didn't take Fan Jin's painting skills too seriously, but when he heard that Ling Yunyi sent a painting of Fan Jin to the emperor, he was a little tempted.

The main purpose is to borrow a name, and I don't really have much hope at the level. It is not surprising that the painter who painted the name of the great man in a small place is worthless in the metropolis. But the moment he saw the painting, he was really frozen.

His own writing and ink are mediocre, and his ability to appreciate paintings is not strong, and the most he sees is the fire fighting map. When it comes to the quality of the paintings, he can't actually say. But when he saw this painting, he could make up his mind: Fan Jin's painting is the best, and there is no one.

"Like ...... It's so similar...... This is simply in the image of my mother. Gee...... This portrait kung fu, if you go around in the old courtyard, those sisters must be crazy. Brother Fan, you ...... Can you teach me this craft? Why don't you just draw a few pictures and say I painted them? I don't mean anything else, just to go to the Qinhuai River and have a cow to brag about with those little ladies. Save them from always saying that Grandpa Ben only knows how to make guns and sticks, and he doesn't know the wind and snow. I have to let them know that this boy can not only carry a gun, but also a pen! ”

Fan Jin nodded and smiled: "I have a few old works here, if the son doesn't dislike it, please take it." ”

While speaking, he took out some of the works he usually drew when he practiced his experience and sent them to Xu Weizhi. Xu Weizhi looked at it and first praised it, and then felt strange. "Isn't this an ink pen? And this painting, how does it feel weird, but it has a story and is very interesting. This Yang family will be romantic, I also heard the Qingke in the house read it to me, saying that it is also Fan Gongzi's big pen, but I didn't expect that it would be so fun with paintings. ”

Fan Jin, this form of comics, in the Ming Dynasty, has not yet been able to match the existence. Although Zhang Juzheng's Dijian illustration is also a text with pictures, it is at best the level of picture book teaching materials, and it cannot be compared with the entertainment of comics. Xu Weizhi has no interest in pedagogical knowledge, and he has no self-knowledge about eating, drinking, and having fun, just looking at this comic, he suddenly has a plan in his mind, and a strange smile appears on his face,

"Brother Fan, it's actually not interesting to paint this Yang family, in my opinion, you might as well paint the Peony Pavilion, otherwise, I have a copy of Jinping Mei here...... Hehe, it's not easy for you to find such a complete set elsewhere except for me. Although there are also paintings here, there are too few, and the paintings are not as good as Brother Fan's methods. If Brother Fan turns all this book into paintings, I will allow you to collect money and receive a soft hand, and even if you don't go to the Jinshi examination, you can make a fortune by opening an art workshop to make money. ”

Fan Jinxin said: If I go to paint the inner fan, I'm afraid that your nutrition won't be able to keep up! The problem is that I don't have the time or energy to take care of it now. He smiled, but had to say perfunctorily, and did not really agree. But Xu Weizhi is much more enthusiastic about Fan Jin's attitude.

As a hereditary prince, Xu Weizhi did not need to perfunctory literati, but instead asked the scribes to confront him. Zhang Sixiu is able to calm him because of his family background, so that's another matter. Even if he is a famous talent in the southeast, it is like that in front of his eyes. Everyone can't play in a circle, and he can't be respectful to anyone. Fan Jinguang's identity as a Yakui is nothing to him.

At the beginning, he gave Fan Jin face, first, he liked the goods sent by the other party very much, and making friends naturally gave the other party enough face. The second is that Fan Jin came with Zhang Sixiu and others, not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha, no matter what, he has to let him have face, not to mention that he still has to ask for others.

But now, after watching this painting and the Yang family's romance in this comic book mode, his attitude towards Fan Jin has completely changed. After all, Fan Jin has this kind of means, and more importantly, he has no literati mentality, and he has no resistance to behaviors such as drawing books, which is too much with his appetite. In the future, the two can cooperate and draw the woman he wanted to get but didn't get, because Fan Jin was very enthusiastic in his attitude/patted his shoulder and said some meat jokes, and by the way, he also introduced Fan Jin to a few very popular Oiran acquaintances.

At this moment, Chunxiang sent Zhang's invitation, Xu Weizhi was stunned, and then looked at Fan Jin again, "Brother Fan, where do you want to go?" ”

"What do you think about this? Miss Zhang invited, can I not give face? What's more, there are still words from Sister Ling? Therefore, Xiaosheng had no choice but to confess, and I was afraid that I would not be able to go to this table tonight. ”

Xu Weizhi frowned, with a bitter expression. "My sister is nothing, that foolish girl, you ignore her, it's all for the sake of her unlucky man. But the son-in-law of the Zhang family ......" He subconsciously glanced at the window, as if he was worried that the other party was hiding somewhere and eavesdropping, and then lowered his voice and said:

"I'll be honest with you, I can't afford to mess with that girl. She was so powerful that she really offended her, so she went directly to my mother to complain, as long as she said a word in front of my mother, my mother would be able to pass on the family law at that time. At the beginning, my father also said that I should ask Zhang Jiangling to ask her to control me. I told my father at the time, if you propose marriage, I will go to the Heavenly Realm Temple to become a monk. The daughter of Akira Takebo, who told me this time. ”

Fan Jin thought about how he and Zhang's husband and wife looked like, and admitted in his heart that this proposal was very unreliable and tortured to everyone. Xu Weizhi frowned, "These women really don't stop, once they go, we won't have a good time tonight." ”

"A few young ladies and the little grandfather don't offend each other, why bother?"

"Brother Fan, you don't know, this Miss Zhang is shrewd, she will definitely put the boat near our boat when the time comes, and eat, drink and enjoy the scenery by herself, it has nothing to do with us, but it is actually disgusting us. As long as we go a little too far, she will immediately come forward to speak, and if she can't do it, she will go to sue. It is true that she invited you, and it is also true that she has passed on to me, so that I should learn to be wiser myself, and be the copper merchant who has made the money, and arrange the banquet of their women tonight. ”

In the inner house, Miss Xu Liu laughed wildly, "My brother is a famous demon king in Jiangning City, and no one can do anything about him except my mother." I didn't expect my sister to use a little trick and clean him up. At the beginning, if I let my sister be my sister-in-law according to my mother's words, my eldest brother would definitely be able to learn well. ”

Zhang pinched her face unceremoniously, "The little girl has a man herself, and she still wants to abduct her sister to your house?" What a conscience! When the time comes, I won't let your eldest brother learn well, I'm just letting him become a little daughter-in-law who follows the rules, and if he dares to be presumptuous, he will beat him with a stick. Not to mention, this little overlord is rare to be smart this time, knowing that our sisters want him to round the scene, he really thought of the idea, and tonight's banquet has come to an end. ”

Xu Weizhi had some ways to borrow a large painting boat from Yang Baocai, a Hui merchant who opened a pawnshop in the city. The boat, also known as the boat, was built with several boats together, and the scale was unprecedented. Walking in the Qinhuai River, it can block half of the waterway, which is particularly annoying.

This boat was originally a famous waste snack in Jiangning City, and it actually couldn't be driven at a large cost. There are a lot of dignitaries in Jiangning, and there are often dignitaries on Qinhuai for ten miles. Whoever dares to row this boat out will definitely be shot to death by the big guys. But now because of smallpox, the big guys rarely come out, and Xu Weizhi has always been strong, he rowed this boat out, and others would not say anything or dare not say anything.

If the place on this ship is large, there will be more people, and both men and women can come on the boat, and they will live in the same place. Nominally in a big boat, but in fact it is still a painting boat that waits for each other. With his name in place, it was easy for guests to gather, and by late evening they were on board.

Fan Jin went to the boat she was on at Zhang's invitation, and the position near the edge of the entire big boat, about one and a half places equivalent to an ordinary boat, was occupied by these girls.

Those who can participate in this banquet naturally have some identities, either the daughter of a certain noble family, or the daughter of a certain dignitary in Nanjing. The Duke of Wei's Mansion is considered a hegemon in Jiangning, Xu Weizhi travels, and the forty-nine guards have to send troops to stay overnight, and ordinary people will not refute his face. Moreover, there are also Zhang Jiangling's children here, and this kind of banquet has actually become a part of officialdom and social networking, and ordinary officials will not refuse their daughters to participate in this kind of activity.

The cabin was partitioned, and the tender-faced girl hid in the inner cabin, looking out through the gap in the screen, chirping and talking about something. Miss Xu Liu was surrounded by them and asked questions, she was actually shy, her face was crimson when she was asked, and she complained in a low voice.

"You always ask me what I'm doing, it's the first time I've met this Fan Gongzi, but Sister Zhang said that he is a great talent, it must be right. By the way, the peony pavilion you are looking at is what he wrote. …… Yes, Miss Zhu's martyr's memory is also ...... Kindergarten Qionglin is also his ...... Of course he didn't get married, but there are two concubines in the family, so it's not a big deal......"

On the deck, Zhang, who was still wearing a white fox fur, stood there with Fan Jin, and began to play blind chess again, looking at the shore by the way, waiting for the guests to come. Although Zhang had a smile on his face, he could see that his mood was a little low.

It's no wonder that the Zhang family didn't even enter the door of Liu's mansion, so they were blocked out. For this banquet invitation, Liu Yiru's response was two words: nonsense. and then sent the descendants of the Zhang family back, without giving any face, and the Zhang family was also very unable to get off the stage.

Originally, Liu Kanzhi was supposed to be a must-come character, but he didn't expect to accidentally miss the appointment, which made the girl feel faceless and lost, which is also reasonable. Fan Jin had no choice but to comfort: "As soon as Brother Liu returned home, he couldn't help himself, and he didn't agree?" Whatever Daddy said, he couldn't help it. ”

"yes, no way...... Brother Liu is a filial son, and he can't disobey his father's will because of these little things, I can understand this. Xiaomei just felt that Liu Shibo was becoming more and more unkind. He wasn't like this back then, although he was very square, but he was a kind elder after all, but now Uncle Liu, I can't understand it anymore. The friendship between the Zhang and Liu families, does it end here? ”

The girl smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I thought of where I went all of a sudden, Brother Fan smiled, let's play chess...... Where did I come from, Brother Fan reminded me. ”

In fact, Fan Jin had already discovered that when the ship approached Nanjing, Zhang deliberately distanced himself from him. The number of chess games is decreasing, and the frequency of regular contact is also decreasing. Of course, with the deepening of the friendship with Zhang Sixiu and others, there are more contacts between the two and less with the Zhang family, and they will not feel left out.

In the girl's opinion, her performance can be regarded as invisible, but this deliberate nature makes Fan Jin aware of it. It's more funny than a loss in my heart: if I don't have anything else in my heart, why deliberately distance myself? In Changsha, it wasn't like that.

First it was hot, and then it became more distant and cold at a certain time, which was extremely normal, and Fan Jin had been prepared for these for a long time. Now that it has returned to the original model, it is a proof, of course, thanks to Liu Yiru for sending an assist.

People came one after another, and several men also came this way. Zhang was wearing men's clothes today, and he didn't plan to hide in the cabin like those girls, but only ate by himself and observed the situation outside, but was ready to drink and feast like a man. She looked at Fan Jin, "Brother Fan, what do you say if the little sister also calls an Oiran to accompany her today?" ”

"Hasn't Shimei ever done such a thing? I thought you'd already done it. It's a little too late to do it now. ”

Zhang smiled, "Of course I did, when I was in my hometown, my second brother was very good with an Oiran, and at that time it was almost to the point of marrying into the door and being small." The second sister-in-law cried and made trouble, and there was a famine with the second brother. In the end, I came forward to pretend to be a man and get along with the woman, deliberately seducing her, and soon she fell for it, threw away all the vows and alliances with the second brother, and insisted on following me. The second brother knew that he had been fooled...... When the family finally got along, I never went again. The woman later wrote to me that it was ridiculous that she would be willing to stay with me even though she knew that I was a daughter. Actually, I think it's quite boring, vulgar powder, few can catch the eye. It's nothing more than you men who are greedy for freshness, and you can't give things at home, so you want to go outside and ask for them. With a lot of silver, he came out one by one with an oiran, and he had to circle around them. ”

Fan Jin said with a smile: "This is the means of the prime minister's daughter, this hand is beautiful!" ”

"Really? That day, Brother Liu reprimanded me for this matter, saying that I was too nonsense. ”

"Brother Liu's family education is strict, so it makes sense to think about it. Our Guangdong folk customs are different from Huguang, many people say that our folk customs are not good, in fact, we just look at it, why can't women go to clear the building? Everyone is the same, if a man can ask a girl to accompany him, so can a woman. ”

Zhang nodded, but did not speak, at this time, two men had already walked over from Xu Weizhi, a middle-aged man and a young scholar. The middle-aged man was in his forties, facing kindness, and bowed when he was far away.

"Miss Zhang has always been good, and Li Zhixiao was born later, so she is polite."

The girl hurriedly replied, "Mr. Li?" You're welcome, you are Xu Shibo's friend and the elder of the little girl, so you don't dare to take it big in front of you. ”

"The eldest lady is polite, the student just seems to be a guest in front of Xu Qiansui, how dare you call yourself a friend, let alone dare to be respectful, you are going to discount my life. can make the villain call it a late birth, which is creation. This is Fan Gongzi, right? For a long time, Qionglin has enlightened thousands of schoolchildren, which is really a masterpiece, and only such means can be achieved by really talented people, admire and admire. ”

After a few words of greeting, he pointed to the young man next to him, "This is the late-born nephew Wei Yongnian, Yongnian is coming to give a few gifts." ”

It was already dark, and the ship was lit with lights, shining like day. In the shadow of the lampball, Fan Jin found that this Wei Yongnian was a few years older than himself, his appearance was handsome, and his expression was extremely humble, he belonged to the kind of scholar who made people feel that he was very modest and simple at a glance, but he was not annoying. When the people entered the cabin, Miss Xu Liu stopped messing with the women around her, her eyes fell on the man, her little hands clenched into fists, and she couldn't stop saying, "Wei Lang...... Wei Lang. ”
