11 Chapter 11
More than half of Jiang Yan's mind was still immersed in past memories, and the other part was struggling to warn herself not to think about those things, so there was really not much attention given to Xu Zhi.
She looked at the kite in Xu Zhi's hand, and her somewhat confused brain was not thoughtful for a while, and she subconsciously said "um", which sounded as if she had acquiesced in the other party's gratitude.
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Yu actually reacted, but now in front of Xu Zhi, she didn't know how to change her words, hesitated for a moment, and saw that he naturally put the kite on the table again, and said, "Please give me ink." ”
Jiang Yan came back to her senses, looked down, and saw that the kite was exquisitely made, but it was still made of white paper, plain face, no color at all, if it was to reward people, it was indeed not suitable, after all, even the kite given to Siluo was painted with patterns.
At this point, Jiang Yu couldn't change her mouth and point out the other party's misunderstanding, so she had to pick up the pen and think about it, and then drew the swallow's facial features and feathers with a pen, but compared to the square ones, the color elements of this kite are much lighter, and the overall color is mainly black and blue.
This is actually the style that Jiang Yu chose in order to save trouble, and after painting in three or two strokes, it is far less attentive than when drawing a square kite, but her aesthetic taste is excellent, and after completion, it looks unexpectedly elegant and refined, and it is not perfunctory at all.
It's just that such a simple pattern inevitably has a large blank space, which seems too empty, Jiang Yan didn't even think about it, and subconsciously changed the pen and inscribed on the swallow's abdomen.
She has been good at calligraphy and painting before, and her handwriting is rhymed, freehand tactful, smooth and flexible with the pen, and she has always been superior.
It's just that Jiang Yan has a different body now, which is different from the previous one, she has been here for a short time, and this is the first time she has started writing, and it is indeed not as smooth as before.
But it was this discomfort that reminded her of a very, very important thing.
- She is now Chu Qinhua instead of Jiang Yan, and there is a difference in the handwriting between the two!
Before the first half of the sentence was written, Jiang Yu had already realized her omission, and her movements stopped, leaving an inconspicuous heavy ink at the end of the word "wind" in "Light Yang and Wind".
Xu Zhi raised his eyebrows and glanced at her suspiciously.
Jiang Yu withdrew her hand quietly and explained softly: "I can't think of what to take for a while......
But looking at the way she was about to put down the pen without thinking, it didn't look like she couldn't pick up the second half of the sentence.
But Xu Zhi definitely couldn't think of the reason why Jiang Yan stopped writing, so he only had a slight doubt, and he didn't really take it to heart.
He habitually hooked the corners of his mouth, if someone else made this expression, it might be a smile, but when he made it, somehow, it gave people a feeling of contempt.
Then Xu Zhi lifted the pen, and then Jiang Yu wrote the four words to make up the second half of the sentence.
"The light sun and the wind are too long, and they will barely use their strength to get through the clouds"
"What do you think?"
Jiang Yan pondered this poem carefully, and she could guess this person's style of acting from it.
Of course, this is very different from the poems she wrote at the beginning, but it can't be said that people don't write well because they don't fit her style, so Jiang Yu said: "Lord Xu is quite anxious. ”
Xu Zhi snorted, he didn't know what it meant, and then he took the kite in his hand, and after saluting, he retreated without saying a word, and he was not far away, just holding a paper swallow, standing upright with the other guards not far away.
Li Sui looked at his back and said with some surprise: "This lord is really arrogant." ”
Xia Yi was a little curious: "Niangniang, the slaves and maids are illiterate, what does he write, and does he write well?" ”
Jiang Yu read the poem written by Xu Zhi again, without making much comments, but said slowly: "I can't see anything in a sentence and a half, but his thoughts are different from mine, and it is not unusual to be able to break my first few words into this meaning in such a short time." ”
She did find it interesting, and even though she was still a little worried about the letter, there was still a little smile on the corner of her mouth.
She wrote on the white paper and pointed it to Silo: "You recognize it, right?" Isn't it interesting? ”
Siluo did grow up with Queen Chu since she was a child, she was literate, and she had read two books somewhat, but she obviously hesitated at this time, carefully observed Jiang Yan's expression, and made sure that she was not disgusted with her literacy and reading poetry before she read it silently twice, and then commented in a low voice:
"It's really arrogant...... I don't know what to do. As she spoke, she asked cautiously, "Niangniang, what two sentences did you originally think?" ”
At this time, most of the women in the world can't read and write, but girls from noble backgrounds are exceptions, not to mention that Chu Dongyang was a world-famous talent when he was young, and it is impossible for his daughter to be blind, so Queen Chu has also followed her husband to read and learn words since she was a child, and she can't say that she is a talented woman, but she is more or less proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Siluo had guessed that Jiang Yu must not be from an ordinary family, so it was not surprising to see that she could write and draw, but looking at it like this, it seems that her level is not limited to "being able to write and draw".
Although she doesn't know how to appreciate calligraphy, she can understand whether the handwriting is good or not.
Jiang Yu didn't think about it so much, she smiled lightly and pulled a strand of hair that was blown by the wind in her ears to her forehead: "I originally wanted to make two sentences and five words - 'The light sun is sparse and the wind is quiet, and the kite flies and stops', and Xu Dudu's poems are completely two artistic conceptions, so it is difficult for him to go back." ”
Chun Teng asked what these two poems meant, and Jiang Yu explained them to her one by one, and then said to them: "There are not many errands in the palace, and you also read some books when you are free, and you always have to know a few words, so that your life will not be too boring." ”
Siluo raised her eyes and glanced at Jiang Yu, her expression was somewhat complicated, and she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.
No one noticed Siluo's mood change, and Li Sui scratched his head: "The slaves and maids are all big and illiterate, and they are very stupid, I'm afraid they can't learn it." ”
Except for Siluo who is a servant of the Chu family, the others are all from poor families, if they don't have enough to eat, they won't come to be slaves, especially this kind of remote palace is not as good as the palace.
"The days are long." Jiang Yu said gently: "I will always learn, otherwise if I am tired, won't I even have a book to read?" ”
In this way, they all came to the heart, especially Chunteng, she was already quite motivated, and when she heard that she could read to the queen if she was literate, she immediately made up her mind that she must learn better than others.
Jiang Yu glanced at the letter paper still lying on the table, and quickly looked away.
"It's not early, you go fly kites, I'll rest here."
After hearing this, they let go of their worries after squirming for a while, and ran to the open space not far from the pavilion with the kite that already belonged to them.
Fortunately, this palace is very sloppy, there are only bushes of dwarf trees and flowers by the lake, and there is not a single tall tree, which is indeed a good place to fly kites.
After a while, three colorful kites went up to the sky, and the sound of laughter also sounded, which was very eye-catching in the Fenghe Palace that was a pool of backwater in the past, and many palace people on duty outside the palace saw it, and they didn't have any pastime on weekdays, and they were very envious at first sight.
Some young children haven't learned the rules yet, so they can't help but tentatively poke their heads out and want to play together, and when the others also saw Jiang Yan, they didn't stop it, just sat in the pavilion and watched them run around and play, and they didn't seem to be in a bad mood, and gradually they got bold enough to come over to greet her.
Among the people in the personal palace, only Siluo did not go out, she insisted on staying by Jiang Yan's side, in case she had to give orders but no one agreed, seeing this situation, she didn't agree with it.
Jiang Yan shook her head, asked the palace people to be exempt, and motioned for them to go and play by themselves.
In fact, Jiang Yan has been a little tired of being noisy and quiet in the past few years, and the slightest movement will make her palpitations, but now it is different, she doesn't feel noisy at all when she hears the cheerful laughter of the little palace people.
Seeing others happy and happy, she also felt comfortable in her heart, even if she occasionally unconsciously thought of something that she shouldn't think, she could be diverted by their laughter, and after a few quarters of an hour, she looked at the letter again, and felt that it was nothing.
