Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 13 Come and invite her in person

It was a decent dinner.

The next day.

Jiang Sheng was grinding charcoal in his yard, and his fair hands were stained black by the charcoal.

The charcoal, which she asked the old mother in the small kitchen for, had just been taken out of the stove. It had strong coloring power, but it was too fragile.She wanted to grind it into a thin and long shape, but several of them had already been worn out.

Shan Zhi looked at her hands and couldn't help persuading: "Girl, what do you want to do, just ask the subordinates to do it. This...you make your hands so black, it's not good for others to know."

How could any lady be so disregarding her own manners.

Shanzhi is a first-class girl in Yushengyuan, and there is another girl named Shan Nai who was sent out by Jiang Sheng to handle errands.

Jiang Sheng carefully broke off the charcoal horn: "In our own place, there are no other people."

Shan Zhi frowned: "But you are a girl from the Hou family, if your hands are broken or calloused, Master Hou will blame you..."

Ever since her master drowned, her temperament has become very strange.

In the past, a group of servants and maidservants were needed everywhere, but now if no one is looking for her, she can stay in her bedroom for a day without their company.

Now I don't know how to get up and play with charcoal.

Jiang Sheng waved his hand: "Where is it so exaggerated, calluses will appear in such a short time?"

The original owner's hands are really well protected, they are really the hands of a lady from a noble family who do not touch the spring water, even the fingertips are pink.

Seeing that Shanzhi couldn't be persuaded, she curiously asked: "Then what are you doing?"

Jiang Sheng smoothed the edges and corners of the charcoal as much as possible: "Make a pen."

"Charcoal can also be used as a pen? Pick it up and write, wouldn't it be covered with dust?" Shan Zhi said, "I see that most of the ones on the market are made of bamboo or wood."

There are also porcelain ones.

But using only black charcoal as a material is simply unimaginable.

Seeing that the charcoal pencil in his hand was already thinner, Jiang Sheng went back to the bedroom to get the rice paper: "I'll show you the drawing."

She looked at her pitch-black hands: "...forget it, just help me get the paper."

"Yes."

Shan Zhi helped fetch paper and spread it on the table. Jiang Sheng picked up a charcoal pencil and glanced at the vase on the wooden cabinet, then outlined the shape of the vase, and added another plum blossom.

She drew very quickly, and Shan Zhi was stunned: "This..."

Shanzhi looked at the vase and then at the painting: "Young girl, the painting looks like..."

She pointed to the body of the bottle: "This piece is protruding."

She pointed to the rim of the bottle again: "This one is sunken."

Shanzhi praised it sincerely: "It's as if this is not a piece of paper, but a... I can't say, but it's very similar anyway."

"Three-dimensional sense." Jiang Sheng took it.

That's not true, sketching is her strong point.

In fact, Jiang Sheng can also draw with ink, just buy an inkstone and grind it back. There is no need to make this charcoal pen with special painstaking efforts.

It's just that she has never been good at ink and wash painting. Ink and wash paintings pay attention to charm. Grandpa once criticized her paintings for having form but not spirit, and it is useless to resemble the original.

But sketching is different. Compared with Shen Yun, sketching pays more attention to light and shadow, shape, structure, proportion, perspective, etc. This is Jiang Sheng's strong point.

In the future, she will have no food to eat, so she might go to find a place to sit and paint for others to earn money.

Just black and white painting, would the ancients feel unlucky?

Shanzhi cautiously stretched out her hand to touch it, then retracted it: "Girl, when did you learn it?"

As the first-class girl next to the girl, I don't even know it.

Jiang Sheng picked up the rice paper.

In fact, Jiang Sheng did not draw very well in this painting. The charcoal is not as easy to use as a pencil, and the rice paper is too soft.

It's just that Shanzhi has never seen this kind of painting before, so it is naturally novel.

Jiang Sheng didn't answer her question: "Go and see if Shanna is back."

Said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would be here, Jiang Sheng didn't know how to answer Shan Zhi's question, so he randomly told her something.

Unexpectedly, Shanna actually came back at this time.

"Girl, girl."

Shan Nai was holding a slender wooden stick in his hand, and when he saw Jiang Sheng, he gave it to her: "The old craftsman said not only that he could do it, but also that it was easy and quick to do, so the servant girl was not in a hurry to come back, and waited there. It's been two hours."

It was a hollow wooden stick, which was polished smooth. Jiang Sheng tried to put the charcoal pencil in it, and then stuck the hidden button, and tried it on paper.

very good!
The charcoal pencil will not stick to your hands when you put it in, and you are not afraid that it will break if you force it. There are several hidden buttons beside the hollow wooden stick, so it is not easy for the charcoal pencil to slip.

Jiang Sheng smiled: "Miss will reward you next time and take you to Zuixianlou for a big meal."

It's no secret that Shan Nai loves to eat in Yushengyuan, so he laughed a little when he heard this.She just saw the painting in Jiang Sheng's hand, and she couldn't help being surprised again.

Jiang Sheng got a new brush, washed his hands and began to draw, and sent the two girls away: "Go and play by yourself."

She didn't want to continue painting vases, and was looking for a target in the room, but Jiang Xian's cold and indifferent face appeared in her mind.

When she found out, she had already begun to draw the outline under her hands.

That's all, let's draw like this.

She forgot the time as soon as she painted, and Jiang Sheng didn't stop painting until Shanzhi said that Jiang Yan was looking for Jiang Yan outside when the eyebrows of the person in the painting became clearer.

The defense of men and women in this dynasty was not serious, and Jiang Yanyuan and Jiang Sheng were siblings. As soon as Shan Zhi finished speaking, Jiang Yan opened the door and came in.

Shanzhi didn't know how many times she persuaded her: "Young master, our girl is already old, you can't come and go in and out of the girl's boudoir casually."

Jiang Yan didn't care: "This is my sister-in-law."

Shanzhi was helpless.

However, it is precisely because the Hou family has a simple population and few masters, Mrs. Hou Yehou treats Miss Sheng as before, and Young Master Jiang Yan has a pure personality. People come to hate.

Jiang Yan originally came to pick up food, but at this moment he was also attracted by Jiang Sheng's paintings.

However, he didn't think there was anything surprising about it, but:

"...God, sister, I knew you didn't like Jiang Xian a long time ago!"

Jiang Sheng: "???"

Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Sheng seriously: "You actually painted Jiang Xian in the same way as a prisoner's portrait."

Jiang Yan patted Jiang Sheng on the shoulder, saying earnestly: "I understand you, but sister, you are not right."

Jiang Sheng: "I didn't..."

She knew that black and white paintings were not very auspicious for the ancients, and even her own era was not very accepting of such paintings.

and many more! ——

"What did you just say? A prisoner?"

Something flashed through Jiang Sheng's mind.

"correct."

Jiang Yan said casually: "But I didn't know that sister, your drawing skills are so good. If I can do the same, I can walk sideways in the Ministry of Punishment!"

Jiang Sheng felt that he was about to catch it.

"If I have such good drawing skills, I can just draw the portrait of the prisoner and see if those people dare to underestimate me."

Jiang Sheng knew what the flashing thing was!

There is no very realistic painting method in this era.The yamen used ink to paint the portraits of prisoners, but one or several features were drawn, which was not very detailed, so it was difficult for ordinary people who had seen the prisoner to understand what he actually looked like.

This adds a lot of difficulty to arresting prisoners.

But sketches are fine!

Jiang Yan was still talking there, Jiang Sheng suppressed the eagerness in his heart...

She couldn't go directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she had to ask someone from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to invite her in person.
