Chapter 224: Come to Dali Temple to Serve (1st Update)
However, in order to find the murderer as soon as possible, when she drew this sketch, she was still a little more detailed than just now, asking Sun Jiawang while adding some details.
For example, the men of the Great Jin Dynasty are all forty years old and bearded. Since this man had grown a beard, he must have been over forty years old. So she drew some fine lines around the man's eyes.
When Sun Jiawang saw it, he became more and more excited: "Yes, yes, that's it." Too much alike, too much alike. ”
Through the portrait, he also found more memories, and told Zhao Ruxi one by one, and Zhao Ruxi perfected the portrait according to his narration.
Seeing this situation, the eyes of Zhang Changshen and Wu Zong next to him became brighter and brighter, and the eyes looking at Zhao Ruxi became more and more different.
A good painter can stimulate the memory of an eyewitness and prompt him to remember more details that he thought he had forgotten. Wu Zong was unable to do this when he first entered Dali Temple. What we can do now is because of the experience we have slowly accumulated.
But Zhao Ruxi is such a little girl, as if she was born to do it. She is especially good at encouraging Sun Jiawang, who is kind and kind, so that Sun Jiawang forgets his nervousness, and the more he talks, the more excited he becomes, and the little boy who cowered when he first entered the door is like two people.
At this time, the child's eyes were shining, and he described the murderer's appearance with comparisons, and this state of selflessness could make him better recall the original scene.
Wu Zong was still thinking about talking to Zhang Changshen at first, but at this time, he was fascinated by her painting portraits, and completely left things behind.
It wasn't until Zhao Ruxi painted this portrait and handed it to Zhang Changshen that he woke up like a dream.
Zhang Changshen took the portrait, looked at Zhao Ruxi, and suddenly said: "Does Miss Zhao have any interest in serving in Dali Temple?" ”
Wu Zong swallowed back when he got to his mouth. He looked at Zhao Ruxi, waiting for her answer.
"Not first." Zhao Ruxi shook his head, "I promised the master of our academy to participate in the imperial examination, and I can't break my promise." And it's not necessary. ”
She looked at Wu Zong and said with a smile, "My senior brother is learning." When he learns how to draw me, you won't need me, will you? But as soon as the adults have orders, if Xi never dares to resign, you can send someone to me at any time. If I can do it, I will do my best. ”
She is the one who knows the plot and knows that there are two big upheavals in the future. She has very important things to do, and she can't be bound to Dali Temple.
Dali Temple is different from the academy, the academy can stop at any time, as long as she agrees to participate in the imperial examination when the time comes. Once Dali Temple agrees here, she has to clock in from 9 to 5 to work, and do things according to the requirements of Dali Temple, and there is no freedom at all.
If she has the opportunity to become a high-ranking official and influence the political situation, she may want to consider it. can be her current identity, it is impossible for her to hold an official position in Dali Temple, and she must be a small errand who does not enter the stream. Why is she bad, she has to think about being a little errand boy?
Zhang Changshen's words just now were also happy when he saw it. When I came back to my senses, I thought about a noble little girl, who had a free life, but it was very inappropriate to deal with criminals and cases all day long, so Zhang Changshen didn't persuade her again.
"That's fine. If I have a request here, please ask Miss Zhao to help. He arched his hand.
"My lord, I have to let my little sister paint the other portraits, right?" Wu Zong asked on the side.
"Yes." Zhang Changshen said to Zhao Ruxi, "I have to work hard to draw thirty more portraits like this for us." The yamen will pay the girl. ”
"You don't have to pay for it. Adults work day and night for the safety of the people of Dajin, how can I be paid for doing such a small thing? Zhao Ruxi said with a smile.
Wu Zong gave a thumbs up to the little junior sister in his heart.
That's a beautiful thing to say!
"Thirty portraits, I will definitely not be able to finish them at the end of the day. The painting could not be taken home, but the case was urgent. Senior sister, you see that tomorrow will be off, can you take a tired look and come over and finish the portrait? I'll ask Qin Chong to arrange another safer place for you at that time, you don't have to be here. Wu Zong asked.
Qin Chong is his subordinate and a son of a family. The elders of the family are looking for him to do this errand in Dali Temple, which is to give officials such as Zhang Changshen and Wu Zong a miscellaneous officer, which can be regarded as a miscellaneous officer who has not entered the product.
Tomorrow I will invite my family to dinner. However, Zhao Ruxi thinks that she is very fast in painting, and she should be able to finish painting in half a day.
She immediately nodded: "No problem." ”
Wu Zong turned his head to look at Zhang Changshen: "My lord, do you have anything else to order?" I'll go about my work if it's okay. My little sister can paint here alone. I left Qin Chong here to run errands for her. ”
"Miss Zhao, then I have you to lose." Zhang Changshen greeted Zhao Ruxi politely first, and then patted Wu Zong's back, "Let's go, I have something to tell you." ”
Wu Zong raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Zhao Ruxi, and followed Zhang Changshen away.
When he arrived at the room where Zhang Changshen worked, he motioned for Wu Zong to sit down, and then said to Wu Zong: "Are there any conditions for you to learn painting from Miss Zhao?" ”
Wu Zong originally stretched out his hand to take snacks on the table to eat, but when he heard this, he paused in his hand, and glanced at Zhang Changshen vigilantly: "No, we are not learning painting with my little junior sister, I am learning painting from my master." ”
Zhang Changshen couldn't wait to smash the snack in his hand on him: "You don't have to be sloppy with me." ”
"How dare I be sloppy with adults." Wu Zong threw the dim sum into his mouth and smiled, "If I learn to draw with my little junior sister, then I have to perform the teacher ceremony in front of my little junior sister, right?" Isn't that a mess? ”
Zhang Changshen looked at him and did not make a sound.
Zhang Changshen is probably because he has been dealing with criminals for a long time, and he usually looks very good at talking with a smile. But as long as he stares at you with his eyes gloomily, it can often make your heart tremble.
Wu Zong was uncomfortable by him, threw down the bamboo stick in his hand, and said, "Okay, I'll tell you." ”
"My master, as you know, has been obsessed with painting all his life. When he first saw my little sister's painting, he clamored to learn from her. My little sister didn't agree. ”
He waved his hand: "It's not that my little junior sister cherishes herself, but because of the problem of the status of master and apprentice." ”
"Think about it, my sister was a student at the Bac Ninh Girls' Academy at that time, and my master was a master there. If my master learns painting with her, who is the teacher and who is the student? The junior sister teaches such a unique painting method to others, and she can't even get the position of a master, right? But if my master is so old and perform the ceremony in front of the little junior sister, it will definitely not work. ”
Zhang Changshen nodded. That's the reason.
"In order to learn this new way of drawing, my master came up with an idea. That's the restraint. My master gave the little sister 3,000 taels of silver, and the little sister taught him to draw. After the church, it is that the money and goods are both paid and the goods are not owed to each other. It's a bit nice to say, but it's not okay. After all, my master can't worship the little sister as a teacher, and the little sister is poor, and she can't even have money for food in the academy. ”
