Chapter 628 Tea Before the Rain

Xichun likes to draw, but because there is no famous teacher to teach her, she just reads some painting books by herself, and then draws flowers, trees, insects, fish, birds and animals by herself.It was really difficult for her to draw the Grand View Garden all of a sudden.

After all, there are so many scenery in the Grand View Garden that no one can describe it without a gully in his chest.

But this is another "errand" sent to her by Jia's mother. Xichun doesn't want to lose face here, so she naturally has to draw a decent one, so she pulls Jia Qing and asks Jia Qing to give it to her. think of a way...

It's a pity that Jia Qing's research on Danqing is not too deep, which is about the same as Tanchun Daiyu.Of course, if he wants to paint, he will definitely be able to paint it.If it was a simple work, Jia Qing might help Xichun to finish it, but what Xichun wants to paint is the Grand View Garden!It must have taken a lot of effort, how could he have so much time to help her.

Besides, this is also an exercise for Xichun.If the painting is completed, it will definitely improve her painting skills greatly.

Therefore, Jia Qing decided to let Xichun paint by herself.At most, he would find him a person with a lot of time and patience to guide her...

Who should I turn to?

Jia Qing looked at Xiangyun and Daiyu who had stopped arguing.These two people can be said to be the most idle in the Grand View Garden, and they are both very talented.Assisting Xichun in painting, although not sure how good it is, at least it is possible to complete the task.

Daiyu and Xiangyun naturally heard what Jia Qing and Xichun said, and when they saw Jia Qing looking over, they all made serious expressions, but looked at Jia Qing.The meaning is very clear, choose me, I can do it!

At this time, Ying'er said: "Second master, if you want someone to guide the fourth girl, you might as well ask my lady. Back then, my master hired a famous teacher to teach my lady. Even the husband said that my lady is intelligent and talented, and her talent is extremely high. ..."

"Ying'er, don't talk nonsense, it makes people laugh."

Baochai interrupts Yinger's bragging about her young lady at the right time.

"Yes, Sister Bao is very good at painting. I have seen Sister Bao imitate Zhao Mengfu's "Autumn Suburbs Drinking Horses" and draw out the elegance, charm and natural beauty of the horses in the suburbs in early autumn. I have never seen it before. Zhao Mengfu's authentic works, but I have seen many imitations by masters. In my opinion, Sister Bao's paintings are not worse than the original works..."

"Pfft."

Daiyu laughed again, and said, "Girl Yun, according to what you say, isn't Sister Bao more powerful than all the old masters?"

Xiangyun glanced at her sideways, and said, "Anyway, I think Sister Bao's paintings are good."

Baochai said with a smile: "Sister Yun is joking, I used to do graffiti when I was bored at home, but I didn't want to throw it away, so I kept it all the time. She saw it last time and wanted to take it back with me." Look, it's not as good as what she said, but it's just her stubborn words, so don't take it seriously."

When Jia Qing heard this, his heart moved.Famous paintings are generally not small in length, and not everyone has the courage to imitate them.Because it is easy to be criticized as painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, so it only increases laughter.But Baochai not only imitated it, but kept it as a collection, which shows that she is quite satisfied with it, which is why she is so.

Of course, Jia Qing's focus is not on this, he is an ordinary person, what he focuses on is...

"Since Sister Yun said that Sister Bao's paintings are good, it's true, but I'm curious, could it be that Sister Bao has seen the authentic work of "The Picture of Drinking Horses in the Autumn Suburbs"?"

Only when you have seen the real thing can you imitate it successfully.Otherwise, if you follow an imitation painting, do you still want to draw the artistic conception of the original painting?Unless Zhao Mengfu was reincarnated...

When Baochai saw Jia Qing talking to him, she was worried that his nonsense would make the sisters and maids laugh at him.But seeing that he finally spoke properly, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I don't know if it's authentic or not. When I was a child, my grandfather loved to collect these famous posts and paintings. One of them was Zhao Mengfu's "Drinking Horses in the Autumn Suburbs". Later, it was passed to my father. My father didn't say anything about it. Grandpa valued it so much, so we had to take a look at it. I have nothing to do, and I happened to learn painting from my husband for two years, so I copied a painting, which was originally done in my spare time."

Baochai spoke modestly.But if she thinks it's not real, will she spend so much effort to imitate the painting?
As expected, it is worthy of the Xue family, whose pearls are like earth and gold is like iron. They even have a collection of famous paintings handed down from generation to generation such as "The Picture of Drinking Horses in the Autumn Suburbs". It is estimated that such good things are not the only one.

In this way, Baochai Bai Fumei's name can't be faked at all...

"I don't know if Sister Bao can lend me the original painting? I am dissatisfied with Sister Bao, and my teacher also likes Zhao Mengfu's works very much. Many people will ask him to help view and appraise this kind of painting. Over the years, Zhao Mengfu's authentic works The old man has seen a lot, but he always regrets that he never saw the most famous painting "Horse Drinking in the Autumn Suburbs". I borrow this picture today just to let my teacher take a look and relieve his regret."

Baochai thought about it, things like this are right for people to appreciate and appraise, but they would not lend them to others. Jia Qing must know this truth.But he still borrowed it, and he made it clear that he borrowed it for his mentor, which showed that in his heart, he no longer regarded himself as an outsider.So she said: "This is easy. When I go back, I will ask my mother to see if she has brought the painting to the capital."

"Okay." Jia Qing nodded with a smile.He knew that by Baochai's words, he meant to ask her mother about it.The Xue family didn't live temporarily in the capital, so they would naturally take away valuables, so there was no reason to stay in Nanjing.

At this time, Daiyu said softly: "Didn't you talk about sister Xichun's painting? Why did it go so far? It's all because of Yun girl. She said so well about Zhao Mengfu and about horses drinking water, but someone like It’s like I’ve never seen it before, so I’m eager to see it. I see that there are quite a lot of horses in your house, and it’s almost the beginning of autumn, so take them out and let them drink water, wouldn’t it be better than the ones in the pictures?”

No one can match Daiyu's elegance.But if she slanders Sven, she will do her part.

Xiangyun spat and said: "Don't make trouble." Then he said to Jia Qing: "Let Sister Bao teach Fourth Sister how to draw, she will definitely be able to draw well!"

Jia Qing smiled and nodded, looking at Baochai.Baochai said: "Let me do the painting of the fourth younger sister. You are so busy with other things outside, so don't be distracted by it."

"Hey..."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, seeing everyone looking at her, she quickly said: "It's nothing, I just remembered a funny thing..."

Only Baochai knew what she was laughing at after a little aftertaste. Even if she told herself countless times to be generous, she still couldn't help itching her teeth with hatred.

Not to mention that Xichun heard that Baochai is a "master of painting", so she hurried over to ask for advice on how to complete the task.He only said that after hugging Eldest Sister for a while, Ping'er thought it was too noisy here, so he wanted to take Elder Sister Qiao home.

"Sister Ping'er, wait, I'll go with you."

Li Wan hurriedly said, "You've only been here for a while, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Xiangyun also persuaded: "Yes, today is the Grain Rain Festival. My sister-in-law asked someone to pick new tea leaves early in the morning and made them. She wants to invite us to drink tea before the rain. After drinking tea, we will go to see peonies together." There are a few peonies blooming just right under the corridor of Daoxiang Village, and it’s just in this season, so it’s a pity not to go and see it.”

Jia Qing smiled, feeling that it is really an appointment for them to gather together today.It is also very free, this festival and that festival, according to this calculation, half of the year is spent on festivals.

"Haha, let's forget about this Yuqian tea. I just drank my sister-in-law's Mingqian tea (picked during Qingming Festival) last time. I haven't fully recollected it yet. I won't participate today. I will drink this rain again next year." Don't drink the tea before."

Jia Qing laughed.

After hearing this, everyone knew that Jia Qing probably had something to do, otherwise, he would definitely be willing to stay, so they didn't try to keep him, but felt regretful.

"Ugh……"

After Jia Qing followed Ping'er away, Daiyu heard Xiangyun sigh and asked with a smile, "Why are you sighing?"

Xiangyun gave her a blank look.Said: "Brother Bao is sick, so it's fine if he is locked up by his wife in the house. The second brother is too busy! I went to Tubi Mountain Villa to look for him in the morning, and Qingwen said that he was not in the villa, but was sleeping in Ning'an Hall. My It was only then that he remembered that he had been on duty in the palace last night.

I thought he should be free in the afternoon, but I didn't expect to go back. "

"Hehe, what kind of mind are you, he is busy with 'big things' outside all day long, and he will be appointed as a general in the future. Some people are feeling relieved, but you are here sighing, it's really funny."

Daiyu deliberately accentuated the word "big event".

"Who? Who are you talking about?" Xiangyun asked hurriedly.

Don't look at the two of them often bickering, but the relationship is actually very good, because they appreciate each other.Except that Xiangyun sometimes thinks that Daiyu is "stingy", there is nothing else.

Daiyu just laughed and said nothing.

As if Baochai had never heard of it, she lowered her head and talked to Xichun.
