Chapter 201: Painting
Rui Xue woke up from a nap and waited for a long time before seeing Zhao Fengnian coming back full of alcohol, and couldn't help complaining, "Didn't you go to find Mr., why did you drink like this?" ”
Zhao Fengnian saw that there was no one in the house, so he smiled and bullied forward, took his wife, who was getting more and more round and soft because of pregnancy, and kissed him twice.
Rui Xue was so disgusted by the smell of wine that she stretched out her hand and pinched his waist a few times to let out a breath, Zhao Fengnian hurriedly poured tea, and waited for Lord Taiza to rinse his mouth and moisten his throat, and then smiled, "I went out and found a suitable gentleman, and I was overjoyed, so I drank two more glasses, but I didn't know that it would make you uncomfortable, and I will definitely not drink it next time." ”
Rui Xue took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, curious about what a good gentleman he had found, he was so happy, and when he heard Zhao Fengnian talk about Wei Xiucai's moral character, he also nodded again and again.
At this time, Cui Niang brought a bowl of slightly sour decanting soup in to relieve Zhao Fengnian's hangover, with what happened just now, Zhao Fengnian didn't even frown, and drank it, but he didn't expect Rui Xue to drool greedily on the side, and complained to him, "This soup smells so good, why do you drink it so fast, and you don't leave me a sip." ”
Cui Niang and Zhao Fengnian were both crying and laughing, and coaxed her, "There are herbs in the decanting soup, if you want to eat sour, there are pickled plums." ”
Rui Xue also knew that she was a little unreasonable, but the overflowing saliva was also unreasonable with her, so she had no choice but to eat a small bowl of plums to relieve her hunger.
Zhao Fengnian instructed Yun Xiaoliu to set up a carriage, and the couple quit the shop, took the Caiyun sisters and Heizi, and went all the way out of the city gate, stepping on the more and more orange sunset, and slowly going home.
The carriage stopped at the gate, Amber greeted him with a smile, and took a box of chicken hands, pig's trotters, fried fish and other foods that Rui Xue specially picked up in the shop.
Wu Yu jumped over and grabbed a pig's trotter, divided the big strong half, the two laughed and gnawed, and then converged with the sunspot and led Benlei to the river for a walk.
At dinner, Amber didn't show up because he was too full, only Zhao Fengnian and Wu Yu, Rui Xue didn't bother to fry and fry again, directly rolled out some noodles, cooked them in cold water, and then mixed with cucumber shreds, meat sauce and coriander, it was a bowl of cool and appetizing cold noodles.
The three of them ate, dispersed, read the book, settled the account, and then washed and slept sweetly.
At the end of the second day, he returned to the workshop, and he went into the city to pick up Wei Xiucai, and his mother heard that her son was Mr. Xixi, so she stayed up all night and sewed a royal blue thin cotton gown for him, lining his already delicate face, which was even more elegant.
Yesterday, the children got the news, and they gathered early to wait to meet Mr. Xin, the people in the village were inevitably enthusiastic, and there was no work in the fields, so they all came over to see a novelty, and when they saw Wei Xiucai so literary and graceful, they all praised and greeted him very enthusiastically, which made Wei Xiucai at a loss for a while.
Zhao Fengnian stepped forward to help him out of the siege at the right time, and said to everyone with a smile, "Mr. Wei is proficient in calligraphy and painting, and he will often come to the village to teach the children in the future, and everyone will take care of them." ”
Everyone naturally responded, Wei Xiucai followed Zhao Fengnian into the courtyard gate, arrived at Dedong Garden, and met with Mr. Yan again, Wei Xiucai was young, and remembered his mother's instructions before going out, for fear that Mr. Yan would be angry because he robbed the errand, so he took the gift of a disciple and his attitude was very humble.
Mr. Yan was already happy to have leisure to go to his friends every month in the future, where would he be angry, so he personally brought Wei Xiucai to the school and told the children not to be naughty, so he hugged two jars of chess pieces and went to fight with Amber.
In order to show his trust, Zhao Fengnian also made an excuse to go back to the front yard.
Wei Xiucai saw that Mr. Yan's joy did not seem to be a fake, and he was secretly relieved, and planned to do everything he could to win the hearts of these schoolchildren.
After laying out the drawing paper and preparing the pen and ink, he said, "Thanks to Mr. Zhao, I will teach your calligraphy and painting in the future." The so-called calligraphy and painting, although useless and scientific research, but it is like cultivating temperament and leisure, splashing ink, can also entertain others and entertain themselves. Today's first lesson, I don't talk about any regular brushwork, just fun, everyone comes up with the question, I'll take the pen, draw a few pictures first. ”
When the schoolchildren heard this, this gentleman's teaching method was fresh, not as strict as Mr. Zhao's, nor like Mr. Yan's requirement for them to recite poems, but had the meaning of playing with them.
Kuroko was bold and lively, so he got up first and pointed to the laurel tree outside the window, and said with a smile, "The student wants to ask Mr. to draw this laurel tree first." ”
Wei Xiu smiled slightly, nodded in response, pinched the cuffs with his left hand, dipped the pen in ink with his right hand, only glanced at the laurel tree, and drew it on the paper.
On the snow-white rice paper, with only a few brushes, a lush osmanthus tree appeared, and the osmanthus on the branches seemed to be being caressed by the summer breeze.
Rui Xue remembered, today is the first time Wei Xiucai came to the door, lunch must be more sumptuous, with Caiyun Caiyue two early into the stove busy, to pick up the fish, meat, vegetables are also washed and peeled, the calligraphy and painting in the East Garden is not over yet, she heard those children bursts of joy or admiration, her heart is really curious, so Caiyun went to the front yard to invite Zhao Fengnian back.
Before he could speak, Zhao Fengnian seemed to have guessed it, and said with a smile, "Let's go, if you want to take a peek, it's too early, and it's time to get out of class in a while." ”
Rui Xue glared at him embarrassedly, "Aren't I afraid that our bundles will be lost, where is curiosity and playfulness?" ”
"Yes, yes, Madame never makes a loss-making business, and she should see it with her own eyes." Zhao Fengnian joked again, so he helped his wife with his own hand, passed through the corner door, and quietly stood outside the window of the school.
In the school, Wei Xiu has just painted a long-beaked red-tailed bird, this bird is common in the mountains, the children have caught and played, the most familiar, at this time, I saw Mr. painted on the paper, as if alive, are extremely blessed, it is Wu Yu, I have seen the works of those calligraphy and painting before, and I can't help but feel that those who are really not as painter as this Mr. has aura.
Rui Xue crossed her feet, looked in for a long time, and secretly pulled Zhao Fengnian out of the East Garden, and said with a smile, "This silver really has no white flowers, Mr. Wei's painting is really good, remember to remind me, when I ask him to draw a picture for me one day, when I am old in the future, take it out and take a look, and have a good memory." ”
In modern times, girls are mostly keen on photo, what photo albums, what art photos, because they can retain the epitome of youth, it is very popular, although Rui Xue was busy at that time, but also couldn't help but be moved, took the time to take two sets, at this time thinking that there was no camera in this time and space, she moved the idea of portrait, where did she know, the rules of this time and space, women's portraits can only be taken over by special painters in addition to those close to them, otherwise it is very easy to attract right and wrong.
A few years ago, in a city in the south, there was a rich lady who was very beautiful, and occasionally was seen by a merry and talented man, so she entered the painting paper, and the result was known all over the city, and she was pointed at from head to toe, and then she finally couldn't bear the gossip and committed suicide by hanging the beam.
Zhao Fengnian was naturally annoyed when he heard her say this at this time, and he was about to reprimand him, but suddenly remembered that she was afraid that she was not familiar with these rules, so he reluctantly softened his tone and blamed, "You are a woman in the back house, how can you ask a man outside to paint a portrait of you, don't say this again next time, it is easy to provoke praise and disparagement." ”
Rui Xue was thinking about using that laurel forest as the background, and being blamed like this was stunned, and then she remembered the conservatism of this time and space, and she also regretted it a little, so she rarely did not refute it, and happily admitted her mistake, "It's that I didn't think it through, some Meng Lang is a little Meng Lang, and I will definitely not make such mistakes again in the future." ”
This caught Zhao Fengnian a little off guard, seeing her pale face, she thought she was secretly annoyed in her heart, and hurriedly said, "I don't blame you, or just remind me, if you really want to draw a picture, I can write it myself, and I guarantee that it is better than Mr. Wei's drawing." ”
Rui Xue saw him staring at his face cautiously, his heart warmed, even if he was really a little annoyed, it all disappeared, he stepped forward to take his hand, and said with a smile, "Is this true?" Then I'm waiting for our Zhao everyone to show their skills. ”
The couple looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't have a gap because of such a trivial matter.
At mid-noon, Wei Xiucai gave class to the schoolchildren, and was led to the study in the front yard by Wu Yu and Da Zhuang Heizi, Ruixue had already arranged six dishes and one soup, Zhao Fengnian and Mr. Yan accompanied, and the three of them sat down, gossiping, eating and drinking.
In the hall of the backyard, a table was also set up, Rui Xue gave An Bo a bowl of bone broth, asked about the three boys, heard that they all said that Mr. Wei's calligraphy and painting class was very interesting, she should buy a set of paints and brushes for each of them in a few days, and resolutely support them to learn to paint, even if they can only paint flowers and birds in the future, it is much better than being a nerd.
Amber unceremoniously laughed at a few boys, don't paint flowers and birds as beasts, which made several boys angry, but Rui Xue laughed so much that her stomach hurt.
In less than half an hour, the banquet in the front yard was dispersed, and when Zhao Fengnian saw Wei Xiucai leave the table, his eyes swept over most of the leftovers on the table, faintly regretful, and suddenly remembered that the old man Tian had said that he still had a widowed mother to support at home, and he immediately felt that his heart was mixed, so he left Wei Xiucai to drink a cup of tea before leaving, and then secretly instructed Xiao Liuzi to go to the backyard to arrange.
Rui Xue heard Xiao Liuzi's report, and the husband and wife were connected, and easily guessed what Zhao Fengnian thought, so she went to the kitchen to fill the remaining braised pork in the casserole, cut a piece of sauce beef, quickly fried a piece of meat slices, bean paoer and fish-flavored shredded pork, made up four dishes, thought about it, and packed some of the soft snacks at home, stuffed a large food box, and then handed it to Xiao Liu to take to the front.
Wei Xiucai couldn't guess why the main family insisted on leaving him to sit more, and thought about what he said in class from beginning to end, and there was nothing out of line, so he became more and more confused.
