Chapter 56: Painting (2)
The painting brought by Miss Huang Zhengqi was painted by her brother.
Her brother is a serious name, the same age as Lan Shi, although they are both very famous, but one of the two circled around the prince in the court, and the other angrily tore the book and carried a hoe to plant beans, and they had different temperaments, so they did not intersect.
But Young Master Huang Zhengjing also admires Sui Lanshi's style and bones, of course, especially his face - both brothers and sisters are a little bit of a dish under their faces, and for good-looking people, they always feel that their style and bones are also a few taels.
So once the young master Huang Zhengjing returned to the city from the suburbs with a hoe, and when he saw Suilan wearing a red coat and whipping a horse through the city gate, he suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and he went home and picked up the pen, and drew this picture of a fresh clothes and angry horse in a serious manner.
But after finishing the painting, I went to farm again, but I threw the painting away at random and didn't care anymore. However, he was picked up by his father, Master Shangshu Huang of the Criminal Department, and thought that the painting was excellent, so he put it on the Bogu shelf in the study.
Later, the family was destroyed, and the painting was not hidden, but still on the Bogu shelf, so Huang Girl stole it as soon as she stole it.
This painting can also be displayed in front of the feast bell.
She looked at the person on the painting stupidly, and Weng Mingming in her ears, she always felt as if she had discovered a truth, she wanted to reach out and touch the person on the painting, but she was afraid of this secret within reach.
She froze in place, the sound of cicadas and birds chirping outside, and the voices of the fifth girl and Miss Huang calling her were all gone, replaced by what Mr. had said before he was critically ill.
The gentleman said, "Mother Xu said it very well, I am indeed a piece of dead wood. Yan Ling, don't look for a doctor for me anymore. ”
The feast bell cried inaccurately, "There must be a doctor who has a wonderful hand to rejuvenate." ”
When the gentleman heard this, he coughed and smiled lightly, very weak, "But even if there are people in the world who have a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, I don't want to live." ”
At that time, the feast bell didn't hear anything extraneous at all, but thought that the husband had been sick for too long and didn't want to live anymore, so she stubbornly said: "When you get better, you will want to live." ”
The gentleman still smiled, lowered his hand and wiped her crying wet face with a handkerchief, and reasoned with her seriously, "Yanling, you don't know, I have a bone headache, day and night, if there are maggots attached to the bones, it is difficult to sleep, every time I fall asleep, I feel that I am soaked in water, and my nose, ears, eyes, and mouth are all water...... It's all sin. ”
"Just pass away quietly like this, and I can be free."
If she hadn't thought about it back then, when she saw this painting today, after knowing who was depicted on it, everything became clear, so that every word of her husband was repeated and repeated in her mind, resounding in the sky, making her ears ache.
Feast Bell's teary eyes were hazy, making her a little unable to see the people and paintings in front of her, she couldn't help but stand up, and finally stumbled and stepped on the eight crabs neatly placed under the desk, and one accidentally threw herself forward, pounced in front of the portrait.
The person in the painting is magnified a thousand times and magnified to the eye, so that she can clearly see a young man riding a horse.
How old is he? How old is the gentleman at this time?
Sixteen or seventeen years old.
It turns out that Mr. is sixteen or seventeen years old.
His past, which he could not speak to anyone, and never told him, was also ...... I see.
She sat quietly on the ground, stretched out her hand and touched the face of the portrait person, and came back to her senses in the worried voice of the five girls.
The fifth girl and Miss Huang glanced at each other, "Yanling, what's wrong with you?" ”
It was impossible for Feast Bell to tell the truth, although she didn't know why the husband who should have died appeared in Lingnan, but she finally understood the reason why the husband was nameless and didn't let her paint his portrait.
She returned to her seat with the painting in her arms, bowed her head and whispered, "I, I've never seen a painting so good." ”
The fifth girl was dumbfounded, "Huh? Draw so well? ”
It's a good drawing, but it's not that good, is it? So good that you lose your temper when you see it?
Ay! She knew that Yan Ling was a little stupid at reading and drawing, but she didn't expect to be so stupid! Could it be that there is something about this painting that she doesn't know?
However, when Miss Huang heard this, her eyes burst out with an astonishing momentum, and she didn't think if there was any other reason, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the hand of the feast bell and asked, "Do you really think it is good?" Yan Ling, I know that you know my brother, I will introduce you to you! ”
God, it's hard to find a confidant in the world, and the freak of her brother is finally appreciated.
The five girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they urged Miss Huang to go, "Yanling is infatuated, and you are also infatuated?" Let's go, or I'm welcome, my friends didn't do it. ”
He said bitterly to the feast bell: "You and I are in our prime, beautiful like flowers, we must not be fascinated by a painting and be deceived into marrying an old man." ”
The old man's sister still wanted to struggle, but the fifth girl was already unkind, so she dragged Huang Zhengqi girl out, grabbed a point and slandered her, "Your brother's name is not good, who is the serious person named the serious?" ”
Miss Huang is aggrieved again and again, she is still called righteous! Isn't she upright? So he accused the five girls of personal attacks, but thinking that they might be relatives who turned corners in the future, he endured this breath, his eyes were red, "I don't care about you." ”
But when she was driven to the door, she also took advantage of the situation, deliberately not taking back the painting and leaving - joke, the painting stays here, and she can take her brother to the door for a walk next time.
Her brother is beautiful and down-to-earth, although he has not lost much beauty now, and he has a strange temperament, but he still has an advantage in applying rouge gouache and then restraining his temperament and not talking.
But after walking a few steps, she was still a little unwilling, afraid that the five girls would "speak ill" in front of the feast bell, so she hurriedly rushed into the courtyard like a gust of wind, and the five girls were dumbfounded, and then lifted the skirt and chased after her, shouting to stop.
It's a pity that the five girls are stepping on small steps and holding a pen on weekdays, and they can't compare to Huang Zhengqi's girl who occasionally has to be carried to the suburbs by her brother to carry a hoe, so she didn't catch up, and when she caught up, she saw the feast bell sitting on the ground with a painting, her head up, and the Huang Zhengqi girl who rushed away bent down and clasped her shoulders with her hands, and told her seriously, "Sister Yanling, old men know how to hurt people, really!" That's not wrong either! And it's only twenty-five years old, so it's not very big, is it? A man is twenty and crowned, and he has only been crowned for five years! ”
The feast bell was stunned by her shoulders and shaken, and the yellow girl's sweat fell on her clothes.
She didn't react when she heard the previous words, but when she heard the next sentence, even though her mind was still a mess, she couldn't help but nod.
Yes, my husband is only twenty-five years old, and he is not an old man.
Fifth girl: "......"
She was so angry that she rushed over to get rid of Huang Zhengqi, but Huang Girl had carried the hoe, and hurriedly took a few steps back, then turned around, and disappeared into the courtyard like a wind.
Ning Chen, the fourth young master of the Ning family, was returning home from Guozijian, and he saw a girl in yellow clothes running away with a smile under the verandah to help the flowers and trees.
He sighed, "Whose girl is this, like the wind?" ”
The maid under the verandah smiled and said, "It's Huang Shangshu's family, I drank some wine today and fought with the five girls." ”
Ning Chen nodded, a little envious, "Her strength is really good." ”
The Ning family is a scholar, sitting all day long, and the sisters and sisters in the family are also weak, and he has never seen such a girl who runs far.
Like a tornado.
On the other side, the fifth girl was still bitterly talking, "Yanling, you have been in Lingnan for a long time, the folk customs are simple, I don't know the number of these old men, they are the most hateful, don't believe her because she is righteous and good on weekdays - don't say anything else, just say that the second brother in our house, his reputation outside is okay?" But does he hurt people? Not at all! The second sister-in-law didn't even get a hairpin! ”
Feast Bell thanked her for her kindness, but she really couldn't tell her this now, she stood up with the painting in her arms, "Fifth sister, today is my gaffe, I feel that it should be because I drank wine, so my heart is so fluctuating, it is better to go back to sleep and get up and talk about it." ”
The five girls also think so! On weekdays, the banquet bell is not like this, but because of such a big twist, she didn't think carefully about the other reasons why "she cried when she saw the painting", she and Miss Huang Zhengqi were both entangled in the age of the old man!
Hey, let's talk to my mother, this is not something to be taken lightly.
