After leaving Aunt Zhao's place, Jia Huan strolled to the Grand View Garden.
Not long after, we arrived at Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Entering the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Jia Huan discovered that all the sisters were here. Not only is Sanchun here, but also Li Wan, Xue Baochai and Xiang Ling are all here.
In The Book of Red Mansions, the relationship between Tan Chun and Lin Daiyu is only average.
Tanchun and Xue Baochai are closer.
Of course, this probably has something to do with Mrs. Wang not liking Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai being a relative of Mrs. Wang.
But in this life, Tanchun and Lin Daiyu became very close because of Jia Huan.
Yingchun and Xichun had the same reason. They both liked to come and play with Lin Daiyu when they had nothing to do.
Lin Daiyu's temperament has also changed.
In The Book of Red Mansions, Lin Daiyu once wrote a poem about funeral flowers. A few sentences in it are: Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind, the frost, the sword force each other. How long can the bright and fresh beauty last? It is hard to find it once it is wandering.
As the saying goes, a person cannot be good for a thousand days, and a flower cannot be red for a hundred days. Where are the flowers that are open 360 days a year?
This is clearly not about flowers, but about herself.
Her situation was already extremely difficult. Except for Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu who were sincerely good to her, most of the others were out to harm her.
In this situation, how could she not feel that the wind, the frost, and the sword were forcing each other?
How can you not feel that you may be wandering and hard to find at any time?
It is understandable that she is deeply uneasy and fearful about her future, and has a weird and erratic temper.
But in this life, because of Jia Huan, her heart has settled down.
Mrs. Wang, who had persecuted her the most, was now subdued by Jia Huan, and she didn't care what he did to her.
Therefore, Lin Daiyu in this life is a little less sad and a little more innocent.
Sanchun didn't have any bad intentions, and the relationship between Lin Daiyu and them was getting better and better.
Seeing Lin Daiyu's transformation, Jia Huan was naturally happy.
It turns out that they are members of the poetry club and are meeting at Lin Daiyu's Xiaoxiang Pavilion to discuss Xichun's request for leave.
It turns out that Grandma Liu visited the Grand View Garden and sighed that the scenery here was like a fairyland in the sky. If she could draw it, she could take it back and show it to her neighbors. It would be nice to let them know that there is such a place in the world.
After hearing this, Jia Mu asked Xichun to paint the Grand View Garden. Not only that, but also the people and scenery.
After Xichun got this job, he took a year's leave from the poetry club.
While they were discussing, Jia Huan happened to arrive, and they hurriedly welcomed Jia Huan in.
Seeing that they were busy, Jia Huan smiled and said, "You just go about your business and don't worry about me. I'll just sit and listen."
Li Wan couldn't help but say: "The company has not yet started, but something has slipped. The fourth girl is going to take a year's leave."
Daiyu smiled and said, "It's because of the old lady's words yesterday, asking him to draw some garden pictures, which made him so happy that he asked for leave."
Tanchun said with a smile: "Don't blame the old lady, it's all what Grandma Liu said."
Lin Daiyu hurriedly laughed and said: "But, it's all his words. What kind of grandma is he? Just call him a female locust."
After saying that, everyone laughed, Baochai said with a smile: "All the words in the world are gone when it comes to Feng Yatou's mouth. Fortunately, Feng Yatou can't read and is not very proficient, but she is just making fun of the common people."
"What's more, Qian'er has a narrow mouth. He uses the Spring and Autumn method to summarize the vulgar words in the market, condense the essentials, eliminate the complexities, and add embellishments and metaphors, one sentence after another. The three words "mother locust" combine yesterday's images The scene has appeared. Fortunately, he thought quickly."
Next to him, Jia Huan smiled and said nothing.
Sister Lin, little fairy, you are looking down on the ordinary working people! Because of this three-character nickname of "Female Locust", I don't know how many red scholars have criticized her in later generations.
However, everyone has shortcomings.
Seriously speaking, how many people in this courtyard, or even in the entire so-called upper class society, really look up to ordinary people?
Lin Daiyu just has a true temperament, but her shortcomings are shortcomings, so there is no need to hide them.
Jia Huan found that Lin Daiyu glanced at him secretly after she finished speaking. Jia Huan smiled back, and Lin Daiyu felt relieved.
Jia Huan also smiled. Sister Lin seemed to care about her feelings.
After hearing this, everyone laughed and said, "This comment of yours is no less than two of his."
Li Wan said: "I ask you all to discuss how many days of leave to give him? I gave him one month and he found it too little. What do you say?"
Daiyu said: "One year of reasoning is not much. This garden has only been built for a year, and now it will take two years to paint. It requires grinding ink, dipping the pen, laying paper, and applying colors. , want to..."
As soon as he said this, everyone knew that he was making fun of Xichun, so they all laughed and asked what else?
Daiyu couldn't help but laugh and said: "If you have to paint slowly like this again, it won't take you two years!"
After everyone heard this, they all clapped their hands and couldn't stop laughing.
Baochai smiled and said: "I have to follow this slow painting again. This sentence behind is the best. So although those jokes yesterday were funny, they are tasteless in retrospect. If you think about it carefully, these few words of Qi'er are indifferent. , but it tastes good when I think about it. I laughed so hard that I couldn’t move."
Xichun said: "It's because of Sister Bao's praise that he becomes more aggressive. Now he's making fun of me too."
Baochai said: "I have something fair to say, please listen to it. Although Ou Yatou can draw, she can only draw a few freehand strokes. Now when you paint this garden, you have to have a few hills and valleys in your belly to be able to do it."
"This garden is like a painting, with mountains, rocks, trees, pavilions and houses, far and near, not too much, not too little, just like that. If you just draw it on the paper, you will not be able to please."
"It depends on how close the paper is, whether it should be more or less, how it should be divided into subjects and objects, what should be added should be added, what should be subtracted should be subtracted, what should be hidden should be hidden, and what should be exposed should be exposed. Now start the manuscript, and then look at it carefully After careful consideration, a pattern can be made.”
"When inserting characters, there must be density and height. The most important thing is the folds of clothes and skirts and the steps of fingers. Every stroke is not a detail. Either the hands are swollen or the legs are crossed. It is a trivial matter to dye the face and tear the hair."
"In my opinion, it's very difficult. Nowadays, there are too many vacations in a year and too little in one month, so we gave him half a year's vacation."
After Xue Baochai finished speaking, he glanced at Jia Huan as if nothing had happened.
Jia Huan felt that Sister Bao also cared about his opinion.
Jia Huan couldn't help but smile at Xue Baochai, who quickly turned away.
Next to her, Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled.
Next, Xue Hengwu made another plan and listed a large number of various pens, inks, paints and various utensils that needed to be used.
Jia Huan couldn't help but secretly praise after hearing this.
Xue Baochai must know how to paint, and his painting skills are even better than Xichun.
And she knows much more than just painting. Or, she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
