Chapter 145: Find Someone
When Gu Dashan heard this, he began to say: "Your eldest aunt and your father are dragon and phoenix fetuses, and she is thirty-seven years old this year, she looks like your milk, has a long face, is thin, has a slightly pointed chin, and has phoenix eyes, and there is a small sesame mole on the left eyebrow, which is maroon-red ......."
When I was a child, the people in the village also said that people with this kind of mole were blessed, but the eldest girl was miserable, she had no mother since she was a child, and she was abused by her father and stepmother, and finally even married and eloped......
Gu Dashan couldn't help but wipe away his tears when he thought of the eldest girl.
He wiped away his tears, and continued to describe Gu Daya's appearance, saying very carefully, even the fact that Gu Daya had a scar on her right forehead, and that her right earlobe was torn and split in half.
Gu Jinli listened to Gu Dashan's description, and while painting, he was very angry, there were so many injuries on the body of the eldest aunt, needless to say, I knew that it must have been Mrs. Gu who beat them, and even the earlobes could be torn, how ruthless this is!
Gu Jinli cursed Mrs. Gu's family again, their family had better die on the way to escape.
By the time Gu Jinli finished painting Gu Daya's portrait, it was already dark, she lit the lamp and retouched the portrait several times, and finally repaired the portrait and showed it to Gu Dashan.
When Gu Dashan saw the portrait of Gu Daya, tears couldn't help but fall: "Like, like your aunt, it's just too old...... After so many years, you should be so old when you suppressed your aunt. ”
Their brother and sister hadn't seen each other for more than half a year before Gu Daya eloped with the merchant, and now they haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years.
Gu Jinli said with a smile: "My aunt is not a monster, of course she will be old, so don't worry, let's rest assured, we will definitely be able to find the eldest aunt." ”
Gu Dashan said with a smile: "Our little fish is a blessed one, and if you can find it, you will definitely be able to find it." ”
This daughter is no longer a lucky star for their family, but a savior of life, if it weren't for her, their family would have died on the way to escape the famine.
"Dad, three grandfathers and three grandmothers, it's time to eat." Gu Jinxiu brought the food to the hall and shouted to Gu Dashan, who was still talking.
Today, Xiaoyu painted portraits of two aunts, she didn't cook, she made it with her mother.
"Here we are." Gu Jinli and Gu Jinan cleaned up the things on the table, and after putting away the two portraits, they moved the table back to the hall, and the family sat down to eat together.
During the meal, he also said how much money he would pay to find someone.
The third grandfather and the third grandmother were eager to take out all their savings to find someone, but Gu Jinli disagreed: "The wealth is moving, and if you give too much money, someone will make it bad, and we will suffer when the time comes." ”
She thought for a while and said, "If you provide effective information, we will give you twenty yuan, and if you can bring people to us safely, we will give you two taels." ”
The third grandmother frowned and asked, "Why is there so much difference?" Why don't you let them take us to someone? Take us to find it, and you can find a meeting. ”
Gu Jinli said: "Some people are bad-hearted, if we say that we can take us to find someone, we will give as much as we want, when the person is not found, we are very likely to be knocked out and robbed of money, it is better to let them bring people to us safely, let's give two taels, so it is safer." ”
The third grandfather also agreed: "This method is good, bringing people can reduce some risks and cut off the minds of those with bad intentions." ”
After eating that night, Gu Jinli took out two portraits and prepared to copy them.
And Gu Jin'an is very smart, after Gu Jinli told him in detail about the skills of sketching, he studied for two hours during the day, and at night, he was already able to copy the portrait alone.
The two siblings each copied three portraits before resting.
Early the next morning, Gu Jinan took out the portraits of Gu Fuya and Gu Daya's two aunts, and showed Liang Zhuzi, who came to get tofu, to He Dacang and He Wanli, and asked them to help find someone, and also told them about the reward.
Liang Zhuzi and they made money with the Gu family's tofu, and hurriedly said: "What's not money, the two eldest sisters turned out to be the sisters of the Gu family's brothers, so we naturally want to help find it." ”
After each of the three took a portrait, they said, "Don't worry, as long as we see it, we will be able to recognize it." ”
He also promised: "Brother Gu, rest assured, we will only show the portrait to people, and will not send it out, and when we find someone, we will return the portrait completely." ”
Although this portrait is a middle-aged woman, it is also a woman, so it is not good to take the portrait to someone casually, and it must be taken back when the time comes.
Gu Dashan nodded with a smile and said gratefully: "Then it will trouble the two brothers." ”
He Wanli waved his hand and said, "What's the trouble, Brother Gu's family gave us tofu to make a living, and it is appropriate to help find someone." ”
Liang Zhuzi and they took the tofu, and after paying the money, they left with their burdens.
After they left, the Gu family finished breakfast, and the third grandfather and Gu Dashan took the portrait and followed Gu Jin'an to Shangjia Village, asking Shang Xiucai to help find someone.
Shang Xiucai saw the two portraits, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Who painted this portrait?" "The painting is also too clear, and the facial features and demeanor are several times better than the traditional ink figure painting, if such a portrait can be popularized, it will be like a tiger to arrest the fugitive criminals.
Shang Xiu is the son-in-law of Jiang County Lieutenant, and Jiang County Lieutenant is in charge of public security and the arrest of criminals, so Shang Xiu has only seen the portrait of the county government wanted criminals, and the portrait ...... To be honest, it is really unsightly, far from the real person, and it is impossible to find the real person according to the portrait, so many criminals cannot be arrested.
If the painters of the county government can have such a painting skill, those criminals who are on the run will not want to hide anymore.
Gu Jinan said: "It was painted by Xiaoyu." ”
And he added: "I can also draw." ”
This is what Xiaoyu told him last night when their brother and sister were copying the portrait.
Xiaoyu said that Shang Xiucai will definitely be interested in this kind of painting skills, but she is a girl, and many things are inconvenient to do, such as this kind of things that involve the possibility of entering the yamen to teach people, she can't do it, so let him do it, if he can rely on this painting skill to enter the county yamen to teach painters to paint, it will be of great benefit to him in the future.
In the previous dynasty, the wind of madmen prevailed, and scholars paid attention to fame, and in Dachu, although this style of madmen weakened a lot, scholars still paid attention to fame.
This novel painting skill helped Gu Jin'an, a peasant boy with no background, quickly accumulate fame, which was very beneficial to him.
Gu Jinan is not the kind of pedantic scholar, on the contrary, he is very realistic and knows how to make a name for himself and how to protect his family, so he did not refuse, so he followed Gu Jinli's words.
Shang Xiu knew that this was Gu Jinli's handiwork again, that little girl had already given him too many surprises, but he was not the kind of person who would get to the bottom of it, after hearing Gu Jin'an's words, he said: "This kind of painting technique is very useful for the county government to arrest fugitives, if you want, you can go to the county government to teach painters to paint." ”。
At the end, he said, "This is very good for you, not only for fame, but also for a lot of money." ”
