Chapter 235: The Man in the Painting (1)
Zhang Ning has an ancient painting, which belongs to her alone, the painting is a man in ancient costume, painted in ink, a few strokes, can only simply see a general outline, his clothing is also very simple a few strokes, can not distinguish the specific dynasty, Zhang Ning has no study of the clothing of the ancients, in addition to seeing that it is not the Qing Dynasty and modern, and can not tell what dynasty he belongs to, there is no background behind, I can't see the age, but the paintings have been yellowed, from the material of the paper, this should indeed be an ancient painting.
Although the painting is simple, but the charm of the man in the painting is depicted, the man always looks quietly in one direction, with an indifferent smile on his face, as if he doesn't take anything to heart, Zhang Ning likes to look at this painting, sometimes she can even look at it for hours in a row, when she is concentrating on looking at this person, she even feels that this person is about to come to life.
She didn't know how this painting appeared, but when she came home from work one day, she saw this painting hanging on the wall of her bedroom, and she guessed that the landlord hung it, since it had no impact on her life, and the painting looked good, so she kept it.
Zhang Ning is a boring person in life, she is ordinary, boring, living her life step by step every day, she doesn't dare to talk more in strange places, she doesn't dare to meet new people, and enter a new circle of life, although she is very eager and yearning for a stimulating life, but she doesn't dare not try, only dare to daydream in her own small world.
Zhang Ning really likes to dream, and her dreams are very rich. In her dreams she can do whatever she wants to do in real life but dare not do it, and recently, she has found that her dream life is much richer, she can always dream of a man, the man in the painting.
In Zhang Ning's dream, she became an ancient lady, as for what dynasty, she neither related nor clear, she saw herself sitting in a high boudoir, most of the time she embroidered every day day after day embroidery can not be finished, no one talked to her, only some girls dressed as maids served her life, she every day in addition to embroidery, she can only bored teasing birds, looking at the scenery downstairs. And when she was relatively rare, she went out in a sedan chair, and at the end of the day, she didn't even touch the ground. It seems that the status is particularly noble.
When Zhang Ning woke up from this dream for the first time, she felt that this dream was so real, so that she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, although she felt that life in the dream was too boring, but thinking that she was a big lady, someone served her life every day, and she was bored a little bit, it was better than being tired and tired to work every day and being disgusted by her boss, and being bullied by her colleagues, she washed a cold water face, and then slapped her face a few times, wanting to pat away her dark circles and tiredness on her face, but it doesn't seem to be of any use at all, she angrily wiped her face with a puff, trying to cover her damn dark circles, and finally almost cleaned up, she dragged out the door, while saying to herself in her heart: When you come back, try to do that dream again, if only you can really make a dress to reach out, and the eldest lady who eats to open her mouth, she won't have to work hard every day.
Working overtime until 8 o'clock in the evening, the boss let himself back, the stars in the sky have risen, and he has not had time to eat, as soon as Zhang Ning walked in the door, he threw his shoes at the entrance indiscriminately, and then took out a box of yogurt and bread in the refrigerator and stuffed it into his mouth, which is equivalent to dinner, anyway, she is also going to lose weight, she drank yogurt while comforting herself, after destroying these foods as quickly as possible, she collapsed on the sofa all of a sudden, and she fell asleep.
In a daze, she felt as if she had come to a place, with some familiar, familiar embroidery tools, and unfinished embroidery works, and she was lying on a gorgeous bed, with a gorgeous and cold brocade under her, and a cinnabar-colored tent floating gently with the breeze in front of her, and she seemed to wake up from sleep in this extravagant scene, and there was a little maid fanning her by her side, she got up from the bed in confusion, and then walked to the window, and then the birds in the cage cried.
Zhang Ning woke up from her sleep violently, only to find that it was already dawn, and she actually slept on the sofa all night, not caring about the soreness of her body, she suddenly remembered the dream last night, "I really want to be true" She collapsed on the sofa, and she didn't mean to get up, today is the weekend, you can sleep for a while, Zhang Ning is planning in her heart.
But now it's three poles in the sun, the sun shines through the curtains that she didn't pull tightly last night, the roast person is a little hot, Zhang Ning feels that she has woken up, and now she can't sleep, she thinks about her dream last night, and sighs: It's amazing, I actually had a similar dream for two days in a row. It's really interesting. She lay on the sofa and smiled and said to herself, "I'll try to dream again at night to see if I can still have the same dream." ”
The day passed quickly, and in Zhang Ning's unkempt Lai's home, he watched a Korean drama for a day, ate a bunch of junk food, and then after the sun went down, the moon hung in the sky, and the city changed from noise to silence. People fell asleep one after another, and when the pointer on the wall pointed to half past three, Zhang Ning finally had a trace of sleep, she curled up on the bed with the bear in her arms, and after scrolling over and over a few Weibo, she finally fell asleep.
In March, the grass grows and the warbler flies everywhere, the sun is shining, and it is a good spring. People in this era have the habit of praying for blessings, bathing and changing clothes, changing into gorgeous clothes, accompanied by the nurse and the maid, the lady sits in a sedan chair and goes to the ancient temple to pray for blessings.
On the way to pray for blessings, the young lady inadvertently lifted the curtain and took a look, and just like that, she saw the painter standing on the side of the road selling paintings.
When Zhang Ning woke up from his dream, it was the first date between the young lady and the painter. Zhang Ning is an older leftover girl, in reality she has never been in love at all, when she was young, she was too strict with her parents, and after work, she was bored and had nothing attractive at all, and naturally she couldn't find a person to explore love. In the dream, Zhang Ning, who was incarnated as a young lady, actually had the courage to secretly have a private meeting with the painter, and Zhang Ning felt that his face was red.
She slapped her face, looked at her ordinary self in the mirror, and muttered to herself: "But what if I actually think the dream is very beautiful, I really don't want to wake up at all." "There is no dream in the real world that is beautiful, the parents who are still urging marriage with strict discipline, the boring and step-by-step life, the annoying colleagues and work, there is no good thing in life at all, she suddenly decided: go to bed earlier at night, and then continue to have that dream.
While thinking like this, she walked to the room in a trance, and at this time, she suddenly noticed that the painting on the wall seemed to be very familiar, but where it was familiar, she felt a little unclear. She approached the painting and began to look at the person in the painting, and suddenly it dawned on her: no wonder it was so familiar, the person in the painting looked exactly like the artist in her dream. She looked at the painting, and suddenly sweated all over her back, and he remembered that he had begun to have this strange dream from the painting suddenly appeared in his room. Could it be that there was something strange on this painting, and she suddenly felt a little scared again.
She remembered that the painting was supposed to have been hung by the landlord while she was away, and the landlord must have known the origin and truth of the painting. Zhang Ning decided to call the landlord and ask about the origin of the painting.
