Chapter 60: May
Yao Minzhi prepared the guest room, arranged Zhen Zhu, and prepared a sumptuous lunch to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Zhen Zhu.
As a woman, such treatment is rare in the Xu family. Xu Jizhi couldn't help but glance at Zhen Zhu more.
Yao Minzhi didn't know his son's careful thoughts, patted Xu Jizhi's head, and said with a smile, "Be good to your sister Zhen Zhu, with your wooden temperament, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you have to ask your sister Zhen Zhu for help!"
Zhen Zhu took a mouthful of rice in her mouth, and when she heard this, she almost squirted.
I finally swallowed it, and I couldn't help but cough a lot.
co-authored, in the eyes of Yao Minzhi, she is a part-time matchmaker!
Xu Zhiwen patted Zhen Zhu's back funny, calmed Zhen Zhu's breath, and said with a smile, "Such an adult, can you choke on eating?"
Zhen Zhu looked at Xu Zhiwen with teary eyes, as long as your daughter-in-law doesn't say anything during the meal, we will definitely not choke, okay?
Look at the other side, your son is in his teens and twenties, isn't he choking and drinking water?
The emotion in Zhen Zhu's eyes was too strong, Xu Zhiwen actually understood it, looked at Xu Jizhi, and then at Yao Minzhi, and coughed lowly, "The child is still young, it's too early to say this!" Eat, eat!"
Yao Minzhi raised his eyebrows, "It's still early, I'm as old as him, and I've already given birth to Bozhi." ”
Xu Jizhi finally swallowed the meal and interjected, "The times are different, and now we advocate late marriage and late childbearing, and fewer children and better children." ”
Yao Minzhi pursed his lips and did not speak.
Zhen Zhu can only pretend that she doesn't understand anything and bury her head in eating.
He's just a kid, okay?
After lunch, Xu Zhiwen took Zhen Zhu to the plum garden.
Xu Zhiwen often goes to the plum garden for a walk to find inspiration, and he is very familiar with the doorman Lao Zhangtou.
Other people's tickets for three cents a piece, when they come to Xu Zhiwen, they will directly have a wallet year.
Seeing Xu Zhiwen coming over with a little girl and a sketchpad on his back, Lao Zhangtou just didn't see it, waved his hand, and let the two of them in.
They are people who love flowers and cherish flowers, so why bother each other.
Xu Zhiwen walked into the plum garden, as if he had walked into his own back garden, took Zhen Zhu around a few corners, pointed to a vacant lot, and said with a smile, "The scene is the best here, you draw slowly, I will find Lao Zhangtou to play two games of chess, and I will pick you up later!"
Zhen Zhu nodded, set up the drawing board, and drew seriously.
Flower bud, half-open, frontal, back, left half, right half...... It's just petals, and Zhen Zhu spent half a day.
When Xu Zhiwen came over after playing chess, Zhen Zhu was still painting petal by petal!
Xu Zhiwen approached Zhen Zhu with a smile, took a pen, dipped it in thick ink, and made five circles in his hand, plus the stamen and the heart of the flower, and a plum blossom jumped on the paper.
A few more strokes, shuttling between the various petals copied by Zhen Zhu, the young branches are raised upward, the old branches stretch out in all directions, round and strong, connecting all the petals, not only pleasing to the eye, but also full of strength.
Xu Zhiwen said to Zhen Zhu, "You have already painted plum blossoms, and I don't want to say more." I'll tell you about this plum branch. ”
People call the plum branch "iron bone". Therefore, when painting plums, it is necessary to embody a sense of space and strength, which is an essential element of a high-quality work.
After the branches are drawn, there is a backbone, and the overall situation of the picture is laid.
The branches should stretch out in all directions, not only up and down, left and right, but also distinguish between front and back.
You're just learning, and it's easier to stretch up and down and left and right.
When you're done, you'll be painting the branches in front and back.
Plum branches are thick and straight, and can be divided into main branches, side branches, and thin branches.
The main branch trunk is tortuous, and the side branches are thinner, and the side branches are generally sent at the bend of the main branch.
The bend of the main branch should not be generally long, but the length of the bend and the extension posture should be changed.
The main branches are thicker and the side branches are thinner.
The small branches on the side branches should be thinner than the side branches, and the number of small branches should be appropriately more to form a dense effect......"
Xu Zhiwen changed a piece of rice paper and demonstrated while explaining.
Zhen Zhu listened carefully, drawing his fingers in the air, following Xu Zhiwen's pen, meticulously.
The old man looked at it with a smile, and was not in a hurry to close the door.
For several days, Xu Zhiwen took Zhen Zhu to the Plum Garden early in the morning, and stayed until the Plum Garden closed before going home.
Even the lunch was sent by Xu Jizhi.
Slowly, Zhen Zhu and Lao Zhangtou became familiar with each other.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Zhen Zhu, as usual, walked to the plum garden after breakfast. It's just that before he entered the door, Zhen Zhu discovered an abnormality.
Lao Zhangtou, who has always ignored strangers and likes to close his eyes and recuperate, wore a new uniform today and stood at the door in good spirits.
Zhen Zhu thought that someone was checking it, so she consciously took out three cents from her purse and handed it to Lao Zhangtou.
Lao Zhangtou didn't accept it, pulled Zhen Zhu over, and whispered, "The above rented Meiyuan to a crew, saying that it was going to shoot a palace fighting drama, I don't know what kind of drama this is, anyway, I won't let it in, and I won't let it in." ”
Zhen Zhu frowned and put the money into her purse, "Then I'll come another day?"
Lao Zhangtou looked around, pointed to the southernmost corner and said, "There is a small garden inside, planted with plain plums, I don't let ordinary people in, you go to draw a few strokes and then it's nothing, you must not climb it." ”
Zhen Zhu nodded, "I'll do something, don't worry." ”
An old man and a young man exchanged a tacit look, and Zhen Zhu sneaked over to Su Xinmei's small garden.
Zhen Zhu had only drawn a few strokes when he heard the sound of chirping next door, which was more annoying than the tourists visiting the plum garden.
Zhen Zhu had to pull two pieces of cotton from her cotton clothes and plug her ears to feel better.
Just as Zhen Zhu was getting better, a sharp female voice sounded in her ears, and the screams that couldn't even be stopped by two cotton suddenly reached Zhen Zhu's ears.
Zhen Zhu pulled out two balls of cotton and looked at the comer with a frown.
It was a Qing Dynasty palace beauty, melon seed face, willow eyebrows, Qi bangs, Zhen Zhu, who was used to seeing beauties, had to admit that this girl was a beauty embryo.
It's just that the shrill voice, and the smugness on the face, spoil this beauty.
The assistant director, the field manager and the old janitor all ran over.
The assistant director helped the palace beauty and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?" What's wrong?"
The palace beauty patted her chest comparable to that of the airport, covered her mouth, and said with a little panic and grievance, "Didn't you say that the field was clean?" How can there be anyone else? Who is she? Will it be leaked? ”
Zhen Zhu took a deep breath and wanted to yell at the girl, "With your exaggerated acting skills, even if you leak secrets, will anyone want to watch it?" ”
The old man pursed his lips and looked at the girl, "Little girl, the plum garden is lent to you, but this Suxin plum courtyard belongs to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but it is not lent to you." This little girl was specially approved by Professor Yu to enter the kindergarten......"
When the assistant director heard this, he looked at the palace beauty with some embarrassment, "Miss Cao, look!"
