Chapter 196: A Daughter's Heart (Part II)
The time has reached the third watch, Fan Jin and Zhang have left, and the lights are still lit in Xue Wu's room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ma Xianglan looked at several paintings repeatedly, and couldn't put down each one.
What is in her hand now is the scene from the banquet just now. A scholar blows a flute, a beauty plays the pipa, and another beauty dances with water sleeves and dances. Although there is no oil paint, several of the people painted are almost the same as real people, and they are more moving than real people.
Ma Xianglan herself is a good hand, good at painting orchids and bamboos, and the characters are slightly weaker, but her own level is not bad, and her appreciation ability is also considered a famous level. Xue Sufang and Qiu Zhu, the daughter of Qiu Shizhou, used to be close friends in the boudoir, and Danqing Kung Fu studied under Yu Qiu.
The two of them are either from official eunuchs or befriending celebrities, their horizons are very broad, and they have seen a lot of real famous paintings, and they can still distinguish between good and bad. In their opinion, Fan Jin's paintings are all wonderful, if you look at them from the perspective of a philistine, the value of these paintings is enough for Fan Jin to live in the Youlan Pavilion for half a month. And this is only a work that he completed in less than an hour.
The three people in this painting are lifelike, and the painting is extremely expressive, and in the eyes of the parties, they even have the feeling of looking in the mirror. Xue Sufang pointed to Ma Xianglan on the painting, and then looked at the real humanity in front of her: "Godmother, Fan Gongzi painted you very carefully." When you look at this look, it looks like it's going to seduce people's souls. In his eyes, godmother, you are so beautiful...... The last time Wang Fuzi painted his godmother, he was not as expressive as this. ”
Ma Xianglan raised her slap and slapped Wu Zhuangyuan's head mercilessly, "Okay, you, if you find Ruyi Langjun, you will be bold, and you will even eat the vinegar of your godmother?" I'm twenty-nine years old this year, and no one wants it. As for you, just be careful of Wang Xuexiao and them, I will definitely not rob a man with you, and I can't rob it. Baigu He painted a lady, of course he had to be dignified, have you seen whose daughter-in-law's eyes fly everywhere to hook people, Fan Gongzi painted it, it's just a courtyard girl. Everyone thinks differently, and the drawing is different. ”
Xue Sufang said: "So, the godmother also admits that Fan Gongzi has thoughts about you?" Before the words fell, he received another slap on the head.
"You're getting bolder and bolder, don't you think the old lady won't dare to beat you? Tell you, if the old lady is a teenager younger, you little girl is not an opponent of the old lady at all, the man has already been snatched away by me, you can cry yourself. Grow a snack and keep an eye on the man. In such a short period of time, a man who paints so many good paintings will not let you be wronged, even if he is not famous, you can make a good life by selling paintings. We people here in Jiangning say that they are talented, but if he is so capable, I don't think there will be one in hundreds of years, so take it well and don't let him fly. ”
Xue Sufang shook his head and said: "I originally wanted to show some identity, but I didn't know that Xiao Nizi actually looked at the painting in a good manner, and he looked at it all at once, and he couldn't put any shelves, so I had to follow him anyway." ”
"I look at this painting well, otherwise with your temperament, don't wait awkwardly for a man to chase you, and before you can tell any mood, he will enter Beijing. By that time, it's too late for you to regret it. At this time, you have to play fast and slow down and find a time to accompany him...... Give him everything, and the matter between the two of you will be settled. Wait for him
When you come back, you can pass through the door. ”
Xue Sufang's face flushed when he was said, and he lowered his head and said, "He is not as good as his godmother said, he was very unruly when he came." ”
"Nonsense, if a man behaves in such a place, he will probably have to go to see Langzhong! It's good that he's unruly to you and proves to be interesting to you. Godmother also knows that you can't say how much you like him, but now is the time to wait. Huang Gonggong's godson is about to come back from selling salt in Huaishang, and I heard that he is hiding smallpox in Guazhou. You know who he is, when he comes back this time, he has to redeem you to be small, what will you do? Anyway, that's the case, instead of giving it to him, it is better to give it to Fan Gongzi. Compared with the two, Fan Gongzi looks more pleasing to the eye. Of course, there is a daughter of Zhang Jiangling in his family, and the two of you are a bit of a holiday, but as long as you can bear it, it's not a big deal. ”
Xue Sufang thought about what the Zhang family talked about with her, and said softly: "This Zhang Jiangling's daughter may not be in the Fan family. Didn't the godmother think that she was playing a little too much today? ”
Ma Xianglan was stunned for a moment, and in retrospect, she also felt a little strange. Although the girl at the Qin Huai meeting also drank at the banquet, on the whole, she still did not lose the proper dignity of the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Today's behavior is more like a gentleman, this kind of wild woman, it is not without a big family, but it is very different from the girl's previous performance, she should not be such a person.
"Wu'er, what do you mean?"
"Miss Zhang is proud for a while, similar to a dying person, it is a truth that she spends money like dirt without hesitation. She is gambling this time, and the stakes are so big that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is shocking. Even herself, ready for the worst. There is nothing important for people except death, she even thinks about death, what else is there to worry about? How can a dead man get in the door? ”
Ma Xianglan was shocked and said: "Wu'er, don't lie to your godmother, why does this sound so scary." She is so dignified and in her prime, how can she say that she will go? Besides, what are you doing with all the stuff and so on? ”
"There's no way, Miss Zhang is too powerful, my little trick in front of others, it can only be regarded as a child's trick, I only met twice, and I saw through the clues. If I don't help her with this, she will lift my bottom, let alone redeem herself, and she won't even have a peaceful life. Not only will I suffer myself, but I will also implicate my godmother. So I can only accompany her to gamble. Fortunately, she didn't ask for anything, she just wanted something from me. ”
Ma Xianglan remembered that during the process of speaking, there was indeed a maid who came to take a box. She wouldn't look through her girls' personal belongings, and she couldn't guess what they were. Only asked, "What about that...... What is it? ”
"Don't ask. It would not be good for a third person to know about it, and it would not be good for her to know about it. In short, she is gambling her life this time. In fact, she looks very beautiful, and the pain in her heart is similar to mine. It is not pleasant for a woman to have two men living in her heart. She had to make a decision this time to kill one of the men, but if she couldn't, she might be putting herself in it. ”
Ma Xianglan has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time and has seen a lot of things, Xue Sufang refused to say it, so she knew that there were some things she shouldn't ask, so she didn't say anything more. Just look at the painting:
"If you don't say it, don't ask, the daughter of this big family, but it's not easy to be. It is very sad for a woman to have two men in her heart. But a woman doesn't have a man in her heart, and it's not easy. You, this time you are tethering a man with a painting painted by your godmother, but this can only be for a while, you still have to open your heart yourself and let the man walk in. When you draw a picture of a man yourself, you will be considered to have survived. ”
Xue Wu smiled slightly: "My godmother knows my daughter's situation, and it's not easy to be a good daughter-in-law, as for who can enter my heart, how can I call the shots." Zhang Qianjin is gambling, and I am also gambling, I just hope that Fan Gongzi will get along better than Huang Gongzi, at least he will redeem me with his words. If I lose the bet, it's my fate. Originally, I wanted to borrow Fan Gongzi to get out, but now I feel that I am using him...... Maybe not. ”
Ma Xianglan sighed, "This bowl of rice is not for people to eat, you can jump out, don't miss the opportunity." But in Jiangning City, there are only a few who have the ability to save you from the sea of suffering and resist Huang Enhou, and if you miss one, there will be one less. Among these people, only Fan Gongzi's appearance is the most suitable, and he is a foreigner who will not be entangled after passing the door. As for exploiting or not exploiting, as long as you don't say it, how does he know? In the future, a good life will serve him, and he will have everything. Give me a snack, take out all the skills I taught you, and don't let him escape! If you can't catch Fan Jin this time, don't say that it was taught by me Ma Xianglan, so as not to lose my face! ”
Due to sneaking out, Zhang did not take a sedan chair, but walked. The little maid Chunxiang originally came with her pretending to be a scholar, but when she arrived at the place, she was sent back by Zhang's family, and only Fan Jin accompanied her on the return trip. There are a lot of refugees on the streets, and there are also a lot of government patrols, but they are relatively safe. Nothing else happened except for some beggars who were so poor that they rushed up to beg.
The girl didn't speak, and Fan Jin didn't say anything when she was in a bad mood, just accompanied her. Walking through a few streets, the girl suddenly said to Fan Jin: "Brother Fan, I'm tired." ”
"That'...... I'm holding you? ”
The girl looked at Fan Jin, "Why didn't Brother Fan say hire a sedan chair?" ”
"It's so late, it's hard to hire a sedan chair, the most important thing is, what should you do if I hire a sedan chair? I don't feel at ease by leaving you alone on the street. I'll just hold you up. The road is slippery in snow, so you have to be careful of falling. Also, how does your body feel, in fact, you are not suitable for running around now, you should lie at home and recuperate...... From tomorrow onwards, I will rest at home and wait until my body is better......"
"Alright, that's wordy!" The girl generously stretched out her hand, and Fan Jin leaned out her arm and let it hold it. The girl dresses up as a man, and the two of them walk arm in arm, which is extremely common to outsiders, and it is natural for the parties to understand how much courage the girl has to make such a move.
The girl's face was a little red, and after walking for a while, she suddenly asked, "Brother Fan, do you have any ...... with Xue?"
"You've seen her too, and you can see it."
"Yes, so the little sister feels a little guilty and left early, otherwise Brother Fan can stay overnight."
Although she teased, the appreciation in her eyes was still captured, and Fan Jin knew that she had made the right choice this time. He asked, "Don't talk about me, tell me about you and Miss Yinzhu, what did you talk about, how did you hear that people run away crying." ”
"I promised to ransom her and buy her a house in Jiangning so that she could live here. When the third brother arrives in Jiangning, he will reunite with her. After two years, the third brother and one got married, and I kept her identity as a side room. As for crying, Xu is too happy, right? The woman in the Qinglou is crazy, who said it well. ”
"Then isn't she making a fortune? You asked her something, and you actually agreed to such a big thing. ”
"It's nothing, I just asked her what she thought of the third brother, and I asked her what would happen to her if my family failed. I thought she would say something about the vows, but I didn't know that she was very direct. said that she was just greedy for the handsome third brother and his silver at first, and wanted to cheat some money. But later, the third brother used her true feelings, and she herself was moved, and even bought a house with redemption, she used her own money, and she would not take a penny from the Zhang family. If the Zhang family loses...... And she ran. This is her own words, at that time, she will re-enter Fengchen, and if she does this to welcome life again, she will definitely not die with the Zhang family. ”
"You like her for that."
The girl nodded, "Because she told me the truth, and didn't say a bunch of big words, such a woman is smart and honest enough to be qualified to enter the threshold of my house." She is not confused, she knows the severity, as long as her father's prestige does not fall, she will not mess around with her third brother behind her back, and she will not make trouble in the house. It is not a bad thing for such a woman to marry into the family, with her in charge, the third brother will not cause some idle flowers and weeds outside, and he will not eat the rouge on other people's mouths. ”
Fan Jin thought about it for a while, confirmed that Xue Wu had no rouge on his mouth, and his means of covering up the evidence were not bad, and said immediately: "Don't say that, not all men will eat rouge on women's mouths." ”
"Yes, the little sister didn't expect that Brother Fan wasted so much time and didn't even eat the rouge on the mouth of a woman in the Qinglou. I thought my brother was a wonderful person, and I didn't want to be so boring, but I was too disappointed with my little sister. ”
Fan Jin shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Sister Xian, you ...... You're bullying. ”
The girl also smiled, "Because the elder brother is loyal and can be bullied, the little sister doesn't bully, isn't it a tyrannical thing?" The little sister saw Wei Yongnian's appearance and figured out something. Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came. Wei Yongnian is a good person, as soon as he has money, he will go outside to steal fish, not to mention the real genius and celebrity, and he can't control it. If a woman chooses the wrong one time, she will lose her life, and if a man chooses the wrong one, she will choose again, Brother Fan, you say, is this fair? ”
Fan Jin shook his head and said, "It's not fair, but what you think is too extreme." In fact, not everyone is like you think, and there are many people who stay together all their lives. Take Xianmei as an example, I think your father-in-law will definitely share the ups and downs with you, and he will never leave you at any time. ”
The girl looked at Fan Jin: "If there really is such a man, even if the little sister is ruined and becomes saltless, she will never give up?" ”
Fan Jin nodded: "I believe, there must be." ”
"Coax me!" The girl muttered and strode forward, the snow road was slippery, she was not a martial artist, her feet were inevitably unstable, and she subconsciously grabbed Fan Jin's arm tightly, and never relaxed......
When he returned to the room, Zhang Maoxiu was dressed in women's clothes and was sitting in front of the lamp holding a book to play the role of his sister. I am afraid that my brother will find out and be scolded, and I am worried that my sister will cause some trouble. Seeing that the lord came back, he sighed, and came up to ask something, but the girl said: "In the future, when you become a relative, it will be good to have that silver bead." He kicked Zhang Maoxiu, who was smiling, out of the room.
Sitting in front of the lamp, the girl twitched her nose a few times, and she really didn't smell too strong fat powder from Fan Jin, and when Xue Wu saw herself, she didn't have a red ear on her sideburns, proving that they really didn't do shameless things.
This man is honest...... The girl thought about what Fan Jin said, closed her eyes slightly, and said secretly in her heart: Since you said so, let's see if you can do it. Yuan Ding, retreat, this time I want to kill one of you in my heart, I'm tired, and it's time to break off.
The wind was blowing loudly outside the window, and although there was no snow, the wind was strong. The girl thought so much in her heart that she even ignored the fact that the personal maid came back very late. For the work and rest of a subordinate, it is normal for her not to pay attention to it, but small people can often turn up big storms, this truth, Zhang can't understand at present.
The game has begun, the dice cup is gently shaken, and as the initiator of the game, it is powerless to terminate it, so it can only follow its own track and continue to move forward.
