"Look at how stupid he is!" Daiyu and Tanchun laughed.
Jia Rong's movements were really embarrassing. He sat on a huanghuali wooden cross with a small board between his legs and knees, holding it with his left hand. There is a piece of white paper taped to the board, and Brother Rong is scribbling on it with a charcoal pen in his right hand.
Keqing, Daiyu, and Tanchun were watching, and the maids behind them couldn't help laughing.
Everyone knows that Uncle Rong has changed his temper, and now he doesn't like to do anything embarrassing. Now that I see his actions, I can't help but think about it.
"What is this painting? Could it be the loaches in the ground?" Daiyu pointed at the black lines on Brother Rong's paper and said, "Loachs don't look like this either."
Brother Rong was speechless. These papers can be used for ink painting and writing, but the effect of using charcoal pencils for painting and coloring is not good.
Miscalculated.
After practicing arranging wires for a while, I found the same feel as before.
Brother Rong asked the maids to replace the paper with new ones and said, "You can take a good look at it now."
Everyone saw him lightly sketching on the paper with charcoal, and soon a face gradually took shape. Brother Rong applied shadows and highlights and outlined his hair, and the person in the painting actually has some shadow of Qin Keqing.
Everyone looked at the person on the paper in disbelief. Xue Yan exclaimed: "This is Grandma Rong."
Everyone has seen the whole painting process with their own eyes. A few strokes and thin lines combined together make it what it is now. Simply amazing.
Jia Rong's painting skills are not high, but they are enough to amaze everyone present. The main reason is that no one has ever seen painting like this before, and they were shocked by its novel method.
When he saw him again, he put down the charcoal and stretched out his palm to smear on the paper. This was not enough, so he asked the maid to bring another cloth and continue wiping it.
Gradually……
Ruizhu said excitedly: "The grandma in the painting is alive."
Qin Keqing in the painting is shy, and her eyes look at the person outside the painting as if they are alive. Everyone's eyes were wide open, even Daiyu, who didn't believe Jia Rong could paint, was also shocked, looking at the person in the painting in a trance.
But Qing knows how to draw and is good at it. She simply could not imagine that without using any color, just using charcoal pencils, drawing simple lines, and smearing it with your hands, it would become a subtle and slightly warped painting.
When they saw the sketch for the first time, they were obviously deeply shocked.
Jia Rong was very satisfied with everyone's expressions and was thinking about how to show off and say some big words.
His dear Aunt Lin didn't give him a chance, pouted and said unwillingly: "My great father said that this kind of painting belongs to Westerners, and there is nothing unusual about it. Compared with the paintings of those Western monks in the palace, Things are far off."
Forehead……
Brother Rong didn't expect that Lin Daiyu even knew these things at such a young age, so he was almost frightened by her. Then I thought about it, that’s not right! I'm not trying to compete with Western monks on my painting skills. I'm trying to prove that I can paint.
But now I asked Brother Rong to ask "Aunt Lin, how do you think I'm doing in my painting?", but it felt like something wasn't quite right, and I was speechless for a moment.
Jia Rong was a little sad. Lin Daiyu had such a bad mouth at a young age. She would be able to talk better when she gets married in a few years. Whoever wants to admit her into the room will have to bear with her in the future because she is not only unforgiving but also jealous.
Suddenly she felt sad for Lin Daiyu's future husband.
Goodbye Lin Daiyu took Keqing and Tanchun to paint on the table, leaving Brother Rong alone in a daze. Isn’t it said that women in ancient times were very generous? Why do I meet such people all the time?
Jia Rong couldn't help but think of another jealousy jar. Sister Feng was jealous more than anyone else.
At this time, Que'er hurriedly came up and said with a shy face: "Uncle, can you draw a picture for Que'er?"
"Shameless little hoof." Ruizhu cursed lightly and ran over and said, "Uncle, please draw a picture for Ruizhu too."
After a while, the maids saw grandma going to the pavilion, and they all imitated Queer Ruizhu and surrounded her.
Jia Rong was stunned for a while.
A few maids with ulterior motives pretended to ask for advice on painting, and approached him intentionally or unintentionally. The faint smell of gouache and rouge made Brother Rong feel in a trance.
These people are so hateful.
Brother Rong blamed him in his heart for being so ignorant of etiquette. I also thought about the young maids who were waiting for my wife and grandmother in the inner house. They rarely went out once a year, and they were waiting in the yard every day, and they never saw men. So with the thought of sacrificing the small self to achieve the greater self, I patiently explained painting techniques to them.
"snort!"
A sudden cold snort scared all the maids into flight.
Brother Rong was confused, why did everyone leave? Then he looked at Ruizhu Zhuque'er and the other three who were also a few steps away from him. Then he turned around and saw that Aunt Lin Daiyulin was coming.
Lin Daiyu said to Xueyan Zijuan behind her: "People in each courtyard have their own thoughts. You should also learn from them in the future. I am not as good-tempered as Brother Rong's wife, and I will kick them out one by one sooner or later."
Aunt Lin's words were obviously referring to Sang and Huai. Ruizhu and others also blushed and did not dare to raise their heads.
Brother Rong also reacted, and before he said anything, he saw Lin Daiyu returning to the building to joke with Qin Keqing. It turns out that she was trying to discipline Ke Qing.
At this time, Rui Zhuozhu also knew that he had made a mistake, and even went back to the building to wait on Ke Qing.
In the next few days, Lin Daiyu would come to Ningguo Mansion every afternoon to chat with Ke Qing about painting, sometimes accompanied by Jia Rong. Until this day, the person who accompanied Lin Daiyu was not Tanchun or Yingchun, but Sister Feng.
"How can a busy person like aunt be willing to come to the East Mansion?" It is said that Sister Feng has not been to Ningguo Mansion for several days. Although Qin Keqing and Jia Rong sometimes meet each other when they go to the West Mansion, they never chat for too long.
Lin Daiyu said happily: "My sister is happy. My wife gave my sister a day off, so we came together."
Are you happy?
As soon as these words came out, not only Jia Rong was shocked, but Qin Keqing's face also changed slightly. Seeing the suspicion in Keqing's eyes, Brother Rong cried out in his heart that he was wronged. Sister Feng and I have never had anything happen. The only intimate contact we had was when I gave her a shoulder blow.
Oh, and the last time she was drunk, she hugged him once.
You won’t get pregnant if you hug her!
Jia Rong was the first to say: "Congratulations, aunt, how many months has it been?"
There were no traces on Sister Feng's belly. She rolled her eyes at Jia Rong and said with Ke Qing: "I feel unwell today and I asked Wang Jiren, the imperial doctor from Taiyuan Hospital, to check it out. She said she is pregnant. It will be your turn next time." .”
"Auntie was joking. My nephew-in-law just got married. How could it be so fast?" Qin Keqing replied with a blushing face. Although she had some grudges in her heart about the rumors about Aunt Feng and her uncle, she never showed anything in person.
Sister Feng was not polite and said to Brother Rong: "Two days ago, I heard from the maids in the two houses that Rong'er knows a Western painting method, which can make people look subtle and slightly upturned. Today I came here specifically to paint mine. .”
"this……"
"Not willing?" Sister Feng asked.
"How could you not want to!" But Brother Rong didn't know what she meant? Did you come here specifically to have your portrait taken?
