Chapter 60: Borrowing a Boat to Harvest (Part II)
No matter how late the people in the Qinglou got up, it was early to get up at this time, a fragrant breeze was blowing, and a thirty-mile ** wearing a horned crown and a brown jacket rushed out of the door, Chen Wang looked at her affectionately, called out to Lan Gu, and reached out to grab her wrist, but the woman shrank her hand and looked at Fan Jin:
"There are outsiders here, and you don't know how to avoid it. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info also, has this article been done, and after reading your homework, I will allow you to come here for tea. As I said, your business is famous, don't always think about me, an old woman. If you have time, you should study more, and it is your business to get a talent as soon as possible."
Although she was powerful, but the people in the courtyard were not hindered, she led Fan Jin until she sat down in the upper room, and ordered someone to serve a tea and fruit plate, and when Chen Wang introduced Fan Jin's name and looked at the painting, Sister Lan hurriedly stood up and solemnly blessed Fan Jin.
"It turned out to be Fan Gongzi, disrespectful. The famous head of the Nanhai case actually came to my courtyard, which is really a blessing from my three lives. It's the first time I've seen your pencil drawing so big, it's really a fairy-like trick, and only a great talent like you can do it. I just don't know if my daughter has such a great blessing, please appreciate a painting, as for the price, it is easy to discuss. ”
Fan Jin said: "As for the price, Sister Lan discussed it with Friend Chen, and it would be good to look at the right one, and I would be a friend in this business." It's the hatred of the ten continents......"
"Don't listen to him full of firewood, Fan Gongzi has a bright future, how can he paint anything to press the bottom of the box. The future of the scholar is still in the fame, if it is for the sake of the slave family, and the reputation of the son is ruined, after his death, the prince of Yama will have to beat me to the eighteenth layer of hell, and then beat hundreds of iron rods every day, you must not mention this matter again. As for the silver...... You draw a picture of Yujiao, and I will give six taels of silver to Fan Gongzi as a polishing pen, I don't know what Gongzi thinks? ”
At present, six taels of silver is enough to spend two months in the provincial capital, and this cost is quite considerable, and Fan Jin has no promise. Sister Lan gave a few instructions, and soon a big girl came to invite Fan Jin to Yujiao's boudoir.
Since the crossing, Fan Jin has never been to Qinglou, and he is also very curious about such places, especially the woman who is about to meet is a woman who is trained by Oiran, even though he knows that it is just a portrait and nothing else, he also has a little heart in his heart that wants to see the color.
The room was very clean, and the good sandalwood was burned, and the room was full of fragrance. The screen is painted with plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums, which are arranged like everyone's beautiful boudoirs, but people can't have any thoughts. In the middle of the room, a woman who also wore horns and a gown, sat upright, saw Fan come in, got up and said: "Yujiao has seen Fan Gongzi, and she has a wonderful pen for Fan Gongzi." ”
Shoulders and willow waist, bent eyebrows and apricot eyes, a small face with a slap is as white as fine Jiangxi porcelain. As a woman cultivated by Oiran, of course she will not be ugly, and her facial features and body shape are in line with the current Ming definition of beauty. But for Fan Jin, this Oiran is not attractive to him, and the longing and excitement when he enters the door have all disappeared so far, for a simple reason: he is too young.
No matter how sophisticated she is, her appearance can't deceive people, this Yujiao looks childish, and when she asks when she drinks tea, she knows that she is exactly thirteen years old this year.
Although Fan Jin himself is only sixteen now, in his heart, one of the standards for recognized beauties is that he has to pass eighteen first. A junior high school student sat in front of him, no matter how beautiful he was, he couldn't covet it, at most he just thought that she should study, she should know how to read, she didn't have lunch today...... In any case, I can't think of any other level.
But he also understands that the current mainstream of Daming's aesthetics is to like this kind of cardamom girl. is like Du Shi Niang, who is angry and sinks into a treasure chest, and she is only thirteen years old when she is right, this is a social atmosphere, and she can't reverse it. As soon as the Qinglou woman is over twenty, even if she is outdated, she will become an old woman at the age of thirty, unless she has Chen Wang's old friendship, otherwise this bowl of rice will not be delicious.
Youth is fleeting, red face is easy to age, this jade Jiao is now sought after, three taels of silver may not be able to drink a cup of tea, but if there is no adventure, after a few years, it will gradually fade out of the high-level social circle and become an ordinary role. When you are in your twenties, even those who lead the car pulp seller may also kiss her fragrance.
Fan Jin couldn't reverse the aesthetics of the times, but from his own point of view, he felt bored with the future Oiran of such a junior high school age. The other party is dignified, and he is not even in the mood to say a few jokes with her. After taking a sip of tea, he began to look at Yujiao up and down.
Since Yujiao is doing this for a living, she is not afraid of being seen, but she sits more upright, not smiling, and sits like a lady. When Fan Jin began to bow her head to create, she stood up, came to Fan Jin's side and looked down, and instructed her subordinates: "Go and get some snacks for Fan Gongzi." ”
is a concentrated painting, the speed is very fast, and when the last stroke falls, Yujiao is already clapping and applauding. "Fan Gongzi, your painting is so good, I'm ...... Can I ask you to make a souvenir? Later, hang it in the room and look at it, as if you have seen a childe. ”
As she spoke, her eyes were full of adoration, and the admiration between her words was clear. If most ordinary men are impressed by the tenderness of the Oiran, but in Fan Jin's eyes, this is a half-grown child, and this kind of admiration is useless to him, but he admires it in his heart: The woman who came out of Qinglou is different, if these two good words deceive me, don't I have to give her a painting for nothing?
He paints here for only one purpose to make money, and the other purpose is to make a name for himself and advertise. The main force of buying paintings is still the rich, and there are many merchants and people in the Qing Building, as long as they can see their works more, they are not afraid that they will not attract attention. Nowadays, it is not a bad deed for a talented person to make friends with Oiran, but it can be called a good story, and it has a great effect on fame.
Therefore, Fan Jin did not refuse his meaning, nodded and said: "This painting will be shown to Sister Lan first, and then we will talk about whether to give it or not." Now that there is still time, I'll draw another one for the girl, and you can pose for yourself. For example, you can take a pipa, or go to play the piano, and then go back and paint the girl's ink Danqing, which will take some time, and it will take two days to send it over. ”
Yujiao's face flushed slightly, "Don't you dare to work for Fan Gongzi's driving, you don't step on cheap ground, and it would be too unserious to let you come to this place." After two days, the slave will send the girl to the house to pick up the painting. The slave has not yet come out of the cabinet, and the private storage is not abundant, but it is not good for you to be burdened in vain, so I have to send you some worthless objects, but don't be too little" opened the jewelry box while speaking, and took two four-lined rings and a little emerald gold hairpin out, "This hairpin is gold-filled, and the ring is real gold, adding up to eight coins, a total of a few taels of silver, Fan Gongzi should not be too little." ”
In Sister Lan's room, Chen Wang was drinking tea on the side, while Sister Lan was gossiping with a gorgeous young woman in her twenties with melon seeds. The woman's thin waist and chest were very charming, wearing a pink skirt and supporting Erlang's legs, and she stretched out a foot wearing red embroidered shoes out of the skirt, and swayed in front of Chen Wang's eyes, "Brother-in-law, who has good shoes between me and Sister Lan?" ”
"Go, don't mess with your brother-in-law, I bought him this township test record, he has to work hard to review the book now, today he doesn't make a passable article, don't want to go to bed at night."
"It's okay, your house is locked, my house will be opened, and it's okay to let my brother-in-law borrow a dry shop."
Sister Lan was about to raise her hand to hit her, Yujiao's girl sent a painting, and told what had happened, and the woman named Begonia smiled: "Yujiao, this girl is not very old, but she is powerful, and this decrepit boy surnamed Fan does not weigh his own weight, so he dares to remember the head of the uncombed cage, and he also uses ink and danqing as a stepping stone to draw a long time." Yujiao's ring was good, and it broke his thoughts. A person who has never even been a showman, has no property at home, and has a county backer who has been driven to Foshan, what good is it to slap him? ”
Sister Lan looked at the sketch but said, "Begonia, your eye sockets are so shallow, how can you stand on your own in the future?" Yujiao did something wrong. If she has been in contact with Fan Gongzi for a long time, she may be able to go to Qinhuai, ten miles from Jinling, to break into the hall of fame in the future. Now that she has broken her fate, it seems that her creation is so big, she can't leave Guangzhou in this life, and in more than ten years, she will accompany me here to knock melon seeds. ”
"Fan Jin has never even passed the government test, and he has also hated Taishou, Great Grandmaster, you just look at him like this?"
"Say that your eyesight is not good, but you are still not convinced. See for yourself, this painting is not only about imagery, but also about beauty. I know my own people's faults, Yujiao's eyes are dead, but when you look at this painting, her eyes seem to hook people's souls, hang this painting out, I don't know how many foreign sons want to pay a lot of money to comb Yujiao's cage. It's just a picture of this painting, and it's even more difficult to paint something more beautiful than the owner. With this ability, maybe he will be able to draw into the palace in the future, even if he doesn't win fame, he is also a celebrity with this means, and it is not easy to eat our bowl of rice, it is not easy to find such a celebrity to hold, there is such a ready-made, she pushed it out, you say confused or not. ”
Haitang's eyes rolled, "Sister Nalan, I look at it like this, let's just say that his painting is not good, find something wrong with him, let him draw another one, and we will fall this one, not much silver, and one more will fall." ”
Chen Wang put down the book in his hand, "This can't be done, I brought the person, isn't my face worth these six taels?" ”
Sister Lan also said: "Begonia, I still have to talk about you, after the gold and silver treasures are finished, friends are not only useful, do you want to be famous?" Someone came, told Fan Gongzi, and said that I was very satisfied with this painting, and the pen was added from Feng to two taels, and he was only asked to be sure to inscribe on the painting. ”
Haitang's beautiful eyes turned: "In that case, it is better to invite him to dinner here, I will pay for the meal, and my brother-in-law will have to introduce me to it when the time comes, Yujiao pushed him away, and I will leave him behind." ”
Sister Lan's face was straight, "I said Haitang, Fan Gongzi has not yet reached the crown, don't do evil." ”
Begonia threw a melon seed in its mouth, and with a crisp sound, the melon seed kernel reached its mouth, and the shell spit out to the ground. "Sister, how can this be called evil, I'm not also trying to get to know a talented man, to help myself praise it, if I am as popular all over Guangzhou as ten years ago, it will also be good for our yard. What's more, I've been in bad health lately, so it's time to make up for it with a boy chicken. As he spoke, there was a burst of laughter.
