Chapter 242: Lin Hai
Lin Hai looked at Jia Min's portrait at Lin's house, which was painted by Daiyu. After Daiyu was fooled by Lin Hai, she went to learn to paint. Then listen to Ou Mengmeng's words and try to draw Jia Min, but, the picture of an ancient lady, to be honest, Ou Mengmeng doesn't know who is who, anyway, she looks about the same. There are almost no small children
So she used charcoal strips on a thick white paper to draw Jia Min in Jia's mother's memory. Don't ask why she would, she graduated from a normal major, even if she didn't study in a major, she basically would. Professional sketching may be bad, but drawing a stick figure with a single line will still do. She can at least draw the big one. At least it can be drawn.
So, she drew Jia Min's marriage, Jia Min's return, and the last meeting of their mother and daughter seventeen years ago. When they got on the boat, Jia Min's glance. Anyway, she was quite happy to draw.
After the painting was finished, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng both burst into tears. They thought they had forgotten their sister's appearance, but it turned out that they had always been hidden in the depths of their memories and had never forgotten it. This Ou Mengmeng is relieved, very good, it shows that he is very similar to the painting.
The two also gossiped about asking their mother to draw Jia Min's childhood, and Ou Mengmeng also counted it, and also painted Jia Min's childhood according to their requirements. Of course, it's still a small simple sketch, and then let Daiyu fill in the color by herself and let her collect it herself.
Daiyu has to say that she is a very smart child, and after painting these leaflets, she has ambitions and decides to paint a long scroll for her father. Draw a few pictures of my mother's life.
They directly designed a picture of Jia Min's growth, using the techniques taught by Ou Mengmeng, and then designed the scene, and Yingchun, Baochai, Tanchun, and Xichun helped her draw the background. In this way, it was put together into a long scroll, and then someone was asked to frame it. When it was unfolded to show Ou Mengmeng, Ou Mengmeng felt that this baby was good, and it was very appropriate to give it to her father. She was a little looking forward to whether Lin Hai would cry bitterly when she saw this painting.
Daiyu gave the scroll to her father. How did she know that her uncle asked her father to draw her mother, so she didn't have any good intentions. When Daiyu finished painting, she naturally felt that her father would like it, so she gave it to Lin Hai happily.
Lin Hai has been seeing the long scroll in the past few days, and in addition to feeling that his mother-in-law really taught her daughter well, it is even more painful. Is this the reason why mother-in-law and brother-in-law hate themselves?
The daughter they held in the palm of their hands, such a beautiful daughter, married themselves, but they couldn't even paint her appearance. And the last scene of the long scroll is Daiyu's mother in her memory, she was taught by the old lady hand in hand, and when she drew the mother in her memory, she also shed tears.
It was only after she finished painting that she realized the changes in her mother for more than ten years. In the last one, she hesitated, but finally put it in herself, because it was her mother's full life. It's not right to miss a single one.
Therefore, now that the long scroll is here in Lin Hai, it is a daily torture. He couldn't even remember his former wife, and he couldn't remember what his wife was like in the end. So, is that what my uncle means? will also think, what did twenty years of marriage bring to Jia Min?
The housekeeper came in, he was really in trouble, but when he saw that the old man was looking at the painting again, he hurriedly lowered his head.
"What do you think of what Dale drew it?" Lin Hai asked casually.
"The girl's drawing must be good." The housekeeper smiled busily, seeing that the old man didn't speak, and hurriedly looked up, "It's really good, it's really like a lady." Still, is it the right way to draw it? The small paintings look like they look at from the outside."
The housekeeper used to be Lin Hai's scholar, and later after the old housekeeper retired, he took over the housekeeper work, speaking of which, although he didn't know how to draw, but he still knew if it was like it, but he was also puzzled, painting so similar, is this normal?
Lin Hai didn't actually think about the problem of painting skills, he only cared about the problem that the housekeeper said was very similar. He looked up at the butler, but he didn't speak, and looked down again, "How old is the girl, she can draw."
"Yes, it's really like it!" The housekeeper only looked at the last one, and couldn't help but sigh again, "Madame is sick in the end, and she is so decent, and the affairs of the house are also properly arranged. When the former girl returned home, she spoke in a clear manner, which shows that the old man thought well and was sent to the Rong Mansion to be raised by the old lady. The girl is like the wife, intelligent and capable." net
"yes, she got sick later." Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief, so her emaciation
It's not my own problem, it's because I'm sick. Picked up the tea bowl and took a sip before turning to the butler, "Something?"
"Yes, the birthday of Princess Beijing, she was originally the second girl of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, so she also handed a post to our house." The housekeeper hurriedly presented the post with both hands.
"The Jia family also received the post?" Lin Hai thought about it and asked.
"Over the years, the four kings and eight princes have often come and gone, but the old lady, the eldest master, and the second master have always been lazy to go out, and they are all the second wife, Zhang Luo, the Wang family. This time, the second wife ...... chanting the Buddha; The second grandmother Lian went to the northwest, and the eldest grandmother Zhu is a widow, so it is not good to let the eldest girl go out with the second girl. I guess it's still not enough to be polite." There are many things that the housekeeper has to take care of, and the situation of each family in Beijing is also to be known.
"It's the same! According to the rules of the Rong Mansion, it is good to send a congratulatory ceremony." Lin Hai pondered for a moment and said softly.
"Is this good?" The housekeeper knew that the master was in Jiangnan, and the Zhen family also took care of it. When I first arrived in Jiangnan, the first thing my wife visited was the old lady of the Zhen family. If it weren't for the fact that the Jia family was deeply rooted in Jiangnan, and the lord was an official in Jiangnan, I was afraid that it would be difficult to do it tightly.
"Our house is still guarding filial piety, so we shouldn't be walking around in the first place." Lin Hai waved his hand.
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, this is the King of Beijing, although he is ranked last among the four kings, he has a lot of power in Beijing, and he seems to be the leader of the new generation of four kings and eight princes. When the master returned to Beijing, the Jia family did not wait to see him. If you don't tighten the connection with other nobles, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch in Beijing. But seeing that the lord is still sad for his wife, forget it. After all, it is also a reason, after all, the Jia family has kept filial piety for his wife for nine months. If the Lin family doesn't keep it, it doesn't seem to be good.
Lin Hai ignored the housekeeper, but in fact, according to the etiquette, "the son is the father, the mother, the wife is the husband, and the concubine is the parent." It is said that during the period of Qi decay, the husband is the wife."
This means that if the husband dies, the wife has to serve three years of mourning, but if the wife dies, the husband only needs to serve one year of mourning. Moreover, the difference between chopping and decaying is not only different in time, but also that the clothes of decay are sewn over the edge, while the decay is not sewn.
And the average wife dies, even if the husband has to keep filial piety for a year, in fact, it is just talking, don't take the bride. It does not affect him as an official. As for drinking and feasting and the like, they are all among the edges. Outsiders don't care too much. Now, looking at Jia Min's paintings, Lin Hai really can't say that he can play with confidence. Besides, he is different from the old housekeeper, he knows very well that the Jia family is now in the heart of the emperor, how can it be the same as the end of the strong crossbow of the four kings and six dukes. So even if Jia's mother doesn't look down on him, he doesn't dare to make a mistake, and his daughter is still in the hands of others!
