Jia Min of the Red Chamber is very arrogant

Jia Mu talked with Baoyu and his wife for a while, and then let Baoyu and his wife break up, and Lin Ding and Lin Ding brothers came in to talk again.Because men, women and children were not put together in the same room, everyone who should avoid suspicion was avoided, and it took a lot of effort just to meet this group of distant visitors.

After Baoyu and his wife went out, they met Tanchun and Xichun.Because Daiyu is a cousin with a different surname, Baoyu has not seen Sister Lin whom he misses so much.Jia Huan went to visit his uncle and uncle, and talked with his cousin-in-law Bai Jin, and his two cousins ​​Lin Ding and Lin Ding.Now Jia Huan is very advanced, but he speaks decently and has a certain amount of advance and retreat.

This side broke up, and Jia Min took another person to kowtow to Jia's mother. This person was none other than Aunt Zhao.Jia's mother used to dislike her, but when she saw Jia's mother, she still felt a little timid and fearful. She lowered her head and only dared to look at Jia's mother secretly.

Jia Mu hurriedly asked Yuanyang to help her to speak, sighed once, said something that she had been too prejudiced in the past, and asked Tanchun and Jia Huan to meet each other.Aunt Zhao couldn't cry when she saw her two sons and daughters.Jia Huan kissed her since she was a child, so she came up to call her mother.To Aunt Zhao's surprise, Tanchun also came up to call her mother, who was very affectionate.

When Tanchun was young, she was brought up by Jia's mother to support her, and she never kissed Aunt Zhao.Tanchun's call of "Mother" made Aunt Zhao's heart feel hot, and she burst into tears.Tanchun couldn't stop his tears, so he took a handkerchief and wiped it with Aunt Zhao.

Mother Jia saw this situation, thinking that she had disliked Aunt Zhao's mother and son before, and she gave Tanchun a little good face, because she was raised in her own house since she was a child and did not kiss Aunt Zhao.Looking at the situation today, I realized that in the child's heart, the birth mother is his own mother after all.Tanchun endured it for many years, fearing that there would be many grievances in his heart.The second daughter-in-law, whom I wholeheartedly devoted myself to, brought disaster to the family. I have relied on Aunt Zhao's two children to take care of me these few years, and I have not suffered a bit.Baoyu, who I am determined to have great fortune, is now an official slave.Thinking about it one by one, Jia's mother only felt that the world was impermanent. When it was prosperous at that time, who knew the situation today.

But it was close to noon when all the people arrived. After meeting and talking for a while, Jia Mu asked Yuanyang to send a message to start the banquet.The male guests outside were entertained by Jia She, and the female guests inside were Mrs. Wu and Jia Min. Jia's mother, Jia Min, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Bai were at a table, and Tanchun, Xichun, Daiyu, Baochai and other girls were at a table with their young daughter-in-law.Since going south, it has been a long time since there has been such a lively scene. Mother Jia has mixed emotions in her heart, both happy and emotional.

Outside, Jia She, Lin Ruhai, and Bai Leshui sat at a table, and Bai Jin, Jia Huan, Baoyu, Lin Dian, and Lin Ding sat at a table.It was an ordinary family banquet, and no one disliked Baoyu's status as an official slave.Jiangnan cuisine is extremely exquisite, Tanchun is in charge of the family, afraid of wronging the old lady, the cook at home has always been good, so the dishes and drinks are exquisite.

After lunch, Tanchun and Xichun took Daiyu and Baochai for a stroll.This house was repaired by Jia Yuan, Emperor Chang Kang saw that he did not copy the Jinling residence in Jia Lian's face, but it was grand and spacious, with a huge yard, quite a bit of a stroll.

And Jia Min, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Bai were all talking in Jia's mother's room.After a few words, Jia's mother entrusted Jia Min with the marriage of Tanchun and Xichun.Jia Min came here for this reason, but he came in a hurry. Who is better, I have time to inquire.Yin said with a smile: "Tunning girl and cherishing girl are as good, we have to choose carefully, but I have been in the capital for many years, and I am very unfamiliar with things in the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know if my mother has a home in her heart all these years in the south."

Mother Jia nodded and said: "The former son will leave the country for filial piety, and several families came to visit the girl. I also asked people to inquire carefully. It turns out that a young girl who took a fancy to Tanyatou will manage our family well. The ability to be organized. I know that we are different today and shouldn't be too picky, but these people either have insufficient foundation or bad character.

I asked Tan girl what she meant, and she had an idea.I begged the families you entrusted to take care of us to inquire, and sure enough, there are a few sons of good background, who are actually playboys who sleep in flowers and live in willows, causing trouble.It turned out that Tanchun was capable and sharp, and wanted to marry back and take care of that ineffective brother.Or a few other families, who were originally from the poor, and have been officials for only one or two generations. They guessed that our family's emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and they still think about our family's help.As a result, none of the girls were selected, so I naturally rejected it.Huan'er, I'm not in a hurry, it's okay for the man's family to say goodbye later, but the two girls can't delay any longer. "

Jia Min listened and persuaded: "Mother, don't worry. The families you mentioned are really powerful, and they are not good enough for our two girls. The two girls have their own fortunes. Let's inquire about them carefully." Come, always say goodbye."

Jia Mu suddenly seemed to think of something, and turned to ask Yuanyang, did Huaner, the former son, say that he was going to be a matchmaker for his third sister?Yuanyang nodded and said with a smile: "The third master has been talking about it for a long time, and the old lady also said that the third master will be a scholar and will not be sure, and he still doesn't study hard. Where is it your turn to worry about these things?"

Jia Mu hurriedly ordered someone to invite Jia Huan in. After Jia Huan saluted several elders one by one, Jia Mu asked, and he spoke carefully.In the past, the masters and servants of the whole family disliked Jia Huan, and he felt more and more inferior, so he appeared timid.Now that he's grown up, he's the only man in the mansion, and when he goes out to deal with people, he represents the Jia family of Ningrong Second Mansion, so he has cultivated a bit of tolerance.He was already very good-looking, but now he looked like a good young man.

From what Jia Huan said, it turned out to be like this: After arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, Tanchun had a good eye and knew that the only way out now was to urge Jia Huan to make progress, so he took Jia Min's letter and visited several relatives and friends of the Lin family in Jinling. .He asked someone to find an academy for Jia Huan.

Although when the group set off, Jia Min subsidized several nephews and nieces each with a sum of private money, and had Jia Mu's support, so Jia Mu and others lived in the south. Living in the south, Tanchun naturally knows that cooking is frugal. plan.Therefore, Jia Huan borrowed some lonely books from the same year, and Tanchun helped to copy them.

There is an old official in Jinling named Du, who has a young grandson who studies in the same academy as Jia Huan.Mr. Du likes calligraphy the most. When he saw Jia Huan's books, his handwriting was elegant and self-contained, so he wanted to buy Jia Huan's books.Jia Huan thought how could her sister's handwriting be left outside, so she refused.

Mr. Du pestered Jia Huan to ask who copied the book, and asked for a copy himself.Jia Huan laughed and said, "I don't believe you can ask for it."After hearing this, Mr. Du also became puzzled, and asked many times in private who copied the book.

These few years, Jia Huan was the only male in the mansion, so he was quite thoughtful in his words and deeds.Mr. Du is the same age as Sister Tanchun, and has a good family background. If they form a marriage, it will be a good place for Sister.So when Mr. Du asked again, he revealed that the book was copied by his sister.

Mr. Du saw that the characters in the above book were neat and neat, and the writing was profound, unlike the elegant characters in the boudoir, at first he thought Jia Huan was coaxing him.Jia Huan said that since he didn't believe it, you came to ask me what I did.Mr. Du didn't believe it, but he began to pay attention to Miss Jia's family from then on.

Because Jia's family is taken care of in Jinling, occasionally someone invites Tanchun sisters to entertain them.Gradually, Mr. Du also found out that Jia Huanguo had a sister. It is said that the character looks very good, but he can't know how to calligraphy.After Mr. Du knew about it, he quietly asked Jia Huan if there was anyone for your sister?Where did Jia Huan miss such an opportunity?Since there is no one in Tanchun, Mr. Du is interested in hearing that Tanchun has not yet promised anyone.While asking Jia Huan to go home to find out, he also told his own family.

When Jia's mother heard that Jia Huan wanted to matchmaking with Tanchun, she scolded him for not going to school well, but she came to inquire about these things. How could she believe him?Not only told him to study hard, but also almost beat him up.But Du Yuanwai's family heard about it, but they inquired about Tanchun, and also sent Bingren to Jia's mansion to propose marriage after the national filial piety period.But he was kicked out without even handing in the character name card.

Now when Jia Mu heard what Jia Huan had said, she said with a half-anger and half-smile: "You monkey, I just praised you a few times in front of your aunt, and you're just talking nonsense, how could Mr. Du come to propose marriage? If you don’t study hard, watch out for my crutch leader to beat you.”

Jia Huan became anxious when he heard this, and argued: "Why not? The ice man came, but he was driven away without even entering the gate. Grandma just wanted to come. Is there any family that drove people away without receiving a name card?"

Mother Jia thought about it carefully, but she had no impression, so she just shook her head.Seeing that Jia Huan was telling the truth, Jia Min didn't seem to be lying.So I persuaded the grandparents and grandchildren: Let's not distinguish who is telling the truth and who is telling the lie. Huan'er will go to school tomorrow, and you can ask Mr. Du if you are engaged now. If not, is it intentional or not?

Jia Huan went of his own accord.

It turned out that the Du family did come to propose marriage, but was rejected by the Jia family.Afterwards, the Du family even kissed Mr. Du a few times, but Mr. Du recognized the girl from the Jia family, and everything else was wrong.The Du family is also a family of officials and eunuchs, and the Iceman was kicked out before he entered the house. He felt that the Jia family still had a record of the Duke's mansion, so he wanted to find another family. Mr. Du is indeed a sincere person, and he has not yet engaged in marriage until today.

This day Mr. Du returned home and said that he would go to Jia's family to propose a marriage. If he was rejected again, he would let the family choose a relative.The old masters, old ladies, lords and wives of the Du family have long been worried that Mr. Du is not yet engaged. After hearing this, they only think that the Jia family must not agree, so as to make Mr. Du give up. So after only a few days, they really invited the iceman to come forward. Come to the door.

Coincidentally, when the Du family came to propose marriage last time, many families came to visit because they were about to leave the country for filial piety.The ice man invited by the Du family came to Jia's house the day before and told about another dude. After Jia's mother inquired about it, she became very angry. Today, when the ice man came again, Jia's mother misunderstood that she still came to mention the previous dude. Whoever said it drove them away.Now the explanation is clear, it was a misunderstanding, and naturally both parties are satisfied with what they said, and they settled on this marriage.

Jia She is the uncle of Tanchun, so it is natural that Jia She and his wife will come forward to be the parents and Jia Min and his wife will help in matters of marriage.This old man Du used to be an official in the same dynasty as Lin Ruhai, so he was an acquaintance.Mrs. Du and Mrs. Du had only seen Tanchun at the prefect's mansion before, and they knew that she was good-looking and well-bred, but they didn't know much about the rest.On this day, I came to visit by discussing the etiquette of engagement, which is also called Tanchun to meet the guests.

Seeing that Tanchun has a certain amount of advance and retreat, and his conversation is decent, I am more and more satisfied.Talking to Jia Mu about the misunderstanding at the beginning of the year, he burst out laughing.

Because Lin Ruhai and Jia She had a one-year holiday, and now there is more than half a year left, the two discussed it and decided to complete the six ceremonies within half a year, which is not too hasty, so they set the wedding for the first month of the next year.

After Tanchun's marriage was settled, Jia's mother and the others realized something had happened, and now only Xichun was left.Everyone in Jia Min had already stayed in Jia's residence for some time, and after being hired by Du's family, they all left.Bai Leshui and his wife had already left for a few days because they received a letter from a friend. Lin Ding and Lin Ding also followed their master and wife to visit some friends in the world.So only Jia Min, his wife and Daiyu were left to go back to Suzhou.

This day was about to enter Suzhou City. Daiyu saw that she was going to be separated from her parents again, so she said to Jia Min: "Now when father and mother come home, only the parents are at home deserted. What's the fun? It's better to accompany parents." My daughter is going to Little Penglai together. I haven’t been to Zeshan Island yet, why don’t you let the uncle take us to stay for a few days.”

Jia Min also felt good after hearing this, so she asked Lin Ruhai, the four of them didn't get off the bus in Suzhou City, they went to the wharf by Taihu Lake, boarded the boat and went to Little Penglai.

We only had lunch in Little Penglai, and in the afternoon the four of us boarded the boat and headed for Zeshan Island again.After landing on the island, a bluestone path meanders into the forest, faintly following the five elements and eight trigrams.The winding path leads to a secluded place, revealing a corner of the white wall and blue tiles, which is the style of Jiangnan gardens.

In the sparkling lake, the mountains are verdant and the birds are singing, it is really a quiet place.Lin Ruhai smiled and said to Jia Min: "If I retire in the future, it would be great to come here to retire."

Jia Min said with a smile: "I have four sons under my knees, but I just went to my daughter's home to take care of me. The master is not afraid of making people laugh, and I don't think about whether our daughter-in-law will be talked about in the future?"

Lin Ruhai said again: "What do you do if you stick to those small details?" Daiyu Baijin had already agreed with Lin Ruhai that this idea is very good, but I don't know if the father-in-law and mother-in-law are willing to come. .It made Jia Min and his wife laugh, saying that it is good for you to have this kind of filial piety.Jia Min said, even if your father wanted to come, the saint might not be willing to let him go.

It took about fifteen and a half minutes for a group of people to talk and laugh, and walked for about a quarter of an hour. When they walked around a green forest, it suddenly became clear in front of them.The Bai family had sent a servant, a gardener, to come over, and the garden paths, eaves and verandahs were all cleaned extremely clean.

A path paved with stones on both sides of the main house leads to the back of the house, and behind the house is a moso bamboo forest.Daiyu likes bamboo, so she stepped onto the path and walked into the bamboo forest. Birds chirped a few times, and she just walked around the main house, but she saw a powder wall, which is different from the white walls and blue tiles in the south of the Yangtze River.When I look up, in the bamboo forest, what is it, not another Xiao|Xiang Pavilion?

It turns out that this Zeshan Island was built by Bai Jin when he was young, and it was Bai Jin's own yard.Only the Xiao|Xiang Pavilion was repaired by Bai Jin who later recruited craftsmen.As for the drawing, it was drawn by Bai Jin himself when he saw the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which was hidden by the bamboo grove, while standing next to the Wenhua Hall.Therefore, the appearance of this house is the same as that of Xiaoxiang Hall, and when the door is opened, four people enter, but the unique arrangement of the house is different.The same bed and chairs are built according to the number of steps, but the material is mainly moisture-proof huanghuali wood.

The walls are covered with high-quality green sandalwood veneer, and the floor is also a wooden floor, which is slightly elastic when stepped on. When Lin Ruhai stretched out his hand to press the wall again, he found that the soft sound insulation is different from other places.Yin asked: "Jin'er, what's so special about the green sandalwood panels all over the wall?"

Bai Jin came together one by one, and it turned out: Because Zeshan Island is in Taihu Lake, Bai Jin thought about the heavy humidity, so he added a layer of the most moisture-proof leather inside the wallboard, and sealed the outside with green sandalwood wallboard. Elegant and moisture-proof and warm, the sound insulation is also excellent.From now on, Daiyu lived in it, as if she lived in her own house, and was not affected by the tide of Taihu Lake.

After Lin Ruhai and his wife heard this, they secretly lamented Bai Jin's hard work. It could be seen that he valued Daiyu, and he felt more and more that his daughter had entrusted her to her husband.Daiyu felt happy when she heard this, but felt that it took too much effort.It's hard to say anything just in front of your parents.

When the four of them came back from the Xiao|Xiang Pavilion, a servant came to report: "Master and Madam are back." The four of them boarded the boat again and returned to Xiao Penglai. Sure enough, Bai Leshui and his wife also came back, bringing some guests.Daiyu avoided it because she heard that there was a foreigner.Lin Ding and Lin Ding came up to greet Jia Min and his wife.

One of the thin and handsome young men said: "Brother Bai Jin, I heard that you have married after returning from Beijing, so it's a pity that I didn't go to eat your wedding wine."

When Bai Jin saw it, she cupped her hands and said with a smile, "Why is that so difficult? I'll make it up today. Why did Brother Yu come with my father and mother today?"

The young man's name is Yu Qing, and he was originally a child of a martial arts family. The Yu family is the best at earthworks, and he is a master at building houses with eaves.Back then, when the Tai | Patriarch of this dynasty wanted to build a dormitory, he still couldn't invite Mr. Yu, but the Xiao|Xiang Pavilion on Zeshan Island got a lot of suggestions from Yu Qing.

This Yu Qing doesn't like martial arts disputes, but he is an idiot for painting. He is proficient in all fine brushwork and Danqing, and he and Bai Jin are the most congenial.Especially after Bai Jin won the test, she persuaded her parents more and more. Uncle Bai even let brother Bai take the imperial examination, but she only loved a few graffiti, so why didn't she have a proper job?A few days ago, it was Mr. Yu's birthday, and Bai Leshui and his wife went to celebrate his birthday. Although Daiyu was a bride, she was a daughter of the Hou family. Mrs. Bai was afraid that she would not be used to making friends with people from the Jianghu, so she didn't take Bai Jin and his wife there.After attending the old man's birthday banquet, Yu Qing came back with Bai Leshui and his wife, saying that they would meet Brother Bai for a while.

Bai Jin's painting skills are extremely high, which is why he and Yu Qing have been competing since childhood.Today, the two reunited after a long absence, so they wanted to reminisce about the old days.Daiyu let him go and talk to her mother and mother-in-law by herself.

After a few days of stubbornness, Yu Qing said goodbye, but left behind a painting.When Bai Jin asked Daiyu to look at it, with just a few strokes, he outlined the distant mountains and near water, with aura, as if he was in the lake and mountains.Only a few strokes are too sparse, and I always feel that there is too much blank space. When Daiyu wondered where she wanted to add a few strokes, she felt that there was nowhere to write, and it seemed that there was no need to add.

After watching it for a while, Daiyu raised her head and asked Bai Jin, "Mr. Yu's painting seems to be only half done."

Bai Jin laughed and said, "Yu'er has good eyesight. Brother Yu usually leaves the same paintings. I keep one and he gets another. When we meet next time, which one of us will add more to each other?" Well, whoever wins."

When Daiyu heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Has Zeyu accepted this bet?" Because Daiyu and Bai Jinse were harmonious, they did not call each other uncle or grandma in private.Bai Jin's name is Zeyu, and Daiyu calls him by his name. Bai Jin thinks that Yu'er is very good, so he matches Yu'er.

Bai Jin shook his head and said, "I didn't answer, but he dropped the painting, performed lightness kung fu and ran away, as if I was going to hit him."

Daiyu heard this and said, "Why don't you give me this painting from Zeyu? I got it from Zeyu, and it's not considered a private gift. I just don't know if Zeyu agrees or not." Daiyu wanted the stars in the sky. Bai Jin also wished she could take it off, but she wouldn't object to a painting.Besides, he didn't care about Yu Qing's wishful bet.

Bai Jin originally thought that Daiyu would like this, but saw that she just put it away and didn't seem to like it very much.The two lived on the island for a while, and Daiyu felt bored.She doesn't practice martial arts and sword like her two brothers, and she doesn't play chess with her father-in-law. Her mother and mother-in-law are getting old, and the young children in Yidao are all juniors, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.Because Bai Jin has no sisters, after all the calculations, Daiyu has nothing to do.

Bai Jin and his wife originally said they were going to visit the mountains and rivers, but now Tanchun is engaged, and their grandmother, uncle, and aunt are all in the south of the Yangtze River, so they said that they will choose when Jia She and Lin Ruhai leave for Beijing. day travel.In half a year, Bai Jin was afraid that she would be bored after seeing his wife, so she told her parents that she would take Daiyu to her grandmother's house in Jinling, and Daiyu would spend a few days with her two younger sisters.

Bai Leshui and his wife want such a daughter-in-law more than they love Bai Jin, so they don't want her to be bored, they agreed, and explained in detail not to bully your daughter-in-law, Bai Jin nodded hurriedly.Not wanting to leave for the day, Daiyu took the painting left by Yu Qing with her.

When I arrived at Jia's house, Mother Jia was very happy when she heard that her granddaughter and grandson-in-law were here. She ordered people to invite them to talk at home, hoping to bring out the delicious and stubborn ones.Sisters Tanchun and Xichun were also very happy when they heard that Sister Lin was coming.

The last time I came here I didn't know that Tanchun would be engaged, so everyone only brought ordinary gifts, but today Daiyu specially brought two bolts of brocade, two bolts of satin, two bolts of silk, two bolts of silk, and two pairs of hair and face for Tanchun. They all mean being in pairs, adding makeup to Tanchun.Thank you very much Tanchun.

Daiyu said with a smile that our sisters' family is so polite, but it makes people feel that they are born, and asked Xueyan to find the painting she brought, handed it to Xichun, and asked with a smile: "Sister Xi is good at painting, I don't know this painting How to add and subtract in a painting?"

Xichun accepted the painting and found it interesting.Because there is only one painting, it would be a waste of a good painting if it is messed up, so Xichun didn't start writing rashly.

One day after Daiyu got up, she was still dressing up, when Yuanyang came over and said: "The old lady asks Miss Lin to come over quickly, and the fourth lady also invites Miss Lin to go to see the painting."

Daiyu laughed and said, "These four girls wake up so early, it seems that I am so lazy." After dressing up, she helped Xueyan to go to Jiamu's room.

Just as I was about to greet Jia Mu, I saw Jia Mu also surrounded a big case with Tanchun, Xichun and others, not knowing what to look at.Seeing Daiyu come in, Mother Jia beckoned and said, "Yu'er is here. You don't need to salute today. Come and see your sister's good paintings. It's interesting."

Daiyu leaned over, only to see that the half painting left by Yu Qing had already been completed.Xichun did not touch the original painting, but added a few very light strokes at the bottom of the painting, but added a few very light and very light reflections of the landscape painted by Yu Qing.On the drawing paper, there are still a few light and sparse strokes, but it seems complete.

Daiyu looked at it and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister." When people asked about it, Daiyu told the truth, but said that this painting was the product of a bet between Bai Jin and others.

Xichun liked this painting when she saw it, and wanted to keep it for herself, but when she heard that Daiyu was going to take it away, she glanced at Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin has a husband-in-law, so she is really outgoing. She even came to compete with me for a painting. That being the case, why didn't I say it earlier, it caused me to think about it for a few days."

Xichun loves to paint, but in her previous life, she didn't even have all the paints and painting tools, and she didn't have a master, so she relied on her own understanding.In this life, after following Jiamu to the south of the Yangtze River, although he did not invite a teacher for Xichun, when Jia Min ordered gifts for three festivals and two birthdays, he always came according to his own preferences. Inkstones, Xichun’s is the finest painting paper, pigments and brushes.

For today's painting, Xichun adjusted the color of the paint many times, and tried several times with the paper that was closest to the material of the painting, but was not satisfied.Later, I found a thin silk to cover the drawing paper, and then finished the painting in one go, only then did I find the best reflection level and color.It doesn't appear to be overwhelming, but it also appropriately expresses the clear water, light shadows, mountains like Daisy, and clouds like smoke.

Daiyu laughed and said, "Why are you in a hurry, I will bring this painting back to you after fulfilling the bet, and I promise to return it to you without any harm." After speaking, she lightly pinched Xichun's face and gave a narrow smile Said, I'm afraid there will be more than one painting by then.Jiang Xichun laughed inexplicably.

Daiyu put away the painting, and when she showed it to Bai Jin at night, Bai Jin clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Yu'er's sisters are indeed all strange women." Before Daiyu could speak, she continued, "But who It can't compare to my Yu'er's beauty." Daiyu gave him a sideways look, and he felt that he was happy.

But after more than a month, Yu Qing came to pick up the painting. When she saw Xichun adding a brush, she also clapped her hands and admired it. She looked around, couldn't put it down.Bai Jin smiled and said, "Can you admit defeat?"

Yu Qing looked at it for a long time, and suddenly struck Bai Jin with a palm, and the two of them hit the courtyard several times. Perhaps the Bai family was used to it, and no one tried to persuade them to fight.In terms of martial arts, Bai Jin was originally slightly higher, but Bai Jin said with a smile: "Why didn't I draw it?"

Yu Qing ignored him and only asked who painted it.

The two stretched their muscles and bones, hugged the wine jar, set out a large bowl, and after several bowls of good wine, Bai Jincai would pass by one by one.Bai Qing heard that this painting was actually a girl from a boudoir. She didn't believe it at first, stared at Bai Jin for a long time, and then laughed loudly: "I just said that you, Bai Jin, are a hero, why do you insist on marrying a daughter of the Marquis Mansion? For this purpose, she also participated in the Raoshizi imperial examination. Mrs. Sister-in-law’s cousins ​​are all so talented, so Mrs. Sister-in-law must also be a talented woman.”

Bai Jin didn't answer, and drank a bowl of wine, his face was full of pride, happiness almost overflowed his handsome face, completely different from his usual cold and noble air.

In the evening, Bai Jin told Daiyu that Yuqing wanted to marry Xichun, but she was not surprised to see Daiyu.Only now did Bai Jin know why Daiyu wanted that painting.

A few days later, Xichun received a gift from Daiyu, and when she opened it, it was a painting she had added a few strokes to.It's just that one picture has turned into two pictures, the one I added is more graceful, and the other is a little more masculine, but I can't tell which one is better.
