Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

Lin Daiyu is very good at fine brushwork and line drawing, and the lines in her brush are delicate and smooth. After a while, a magnolia tree appears vividly on the paper, and there is another lady standing beside the magnolia tree, turning around and looking back, with a slim figure and her skirt hanging down to the ground, but she stopped writing. It will look good if you leave some white, but it’s not interesting to paint everything.”

Several maidservants gathered around to watch her paint, Xue Yuan said, "Young lady, the magnolia flower is so good, why not make it into a flower shape? Whether it is embroidered on the skirt or the hem of the skirt, it will be very elegant."

"It's a good idea to paint Luoqun with folded branches." Lin Daiyu became interested, "It's better to draw more shapes, in various shapes, without being too rigid."

Xueyuan and the others quickly came up with ideas, "The ones that are half-opened, budding, or tied together are all good-looking."

"It doesn't necessarily look good when embroidered." Lin Daiyu thought about spending a few more, but she didn't like it very much, and she was not very satisfied with the lady, "The lady's attitude is a bit strange, and it doesn't match the magnolia, let's repaint tomorrow. "

As soon as the words were finished, Jia Baoyu stood at the gate of the courtyard and said with a smile, "Why doesn't it look good when embroidered? My sister told me to listen to it, and I will give you the details."

He is the phoenix egg of Jia's mansion, so the mother-in-law and young maidservant at the gate naturally wouldn't stop him.

Lin Daiyu saw that Xue Baochai and Sanchun were still standing behind him, so she put down her pen, greeted them, and said casually, "It's nothing, just a few magnolias."

"Where is Magnolia, it is clearly a painting beauty, sister Lin, this beauty is really vivid." Jia Baoyu praised immediately.

Hearing what he said, all the sisters came up to see the painting. Yingchun and Tanchun didn't know each other well. Although Xichun was young, she liked to paint. She was pleasantly surprised, "Sister Lin's painting is really good. This skirt looks like a painting drawn by Cao Yi." .”

Cao Yi Biao is the abbreviation of Cao Yi Chu Shui Biao.It was originally said that Cao Zhongda, a famous artist in Tianzhu, painted the Buddha statues with drooping and dense patterns, and his body is like water coming out, so it is called "Cao clothes coming out of water".In this painting method, the pen is thin and drooping, and the most important thing is to use the pen with calmness.

Lin Daiyu was also pleasantly surprised to see that she spoke accurately, "I never thought that my fourth sister could know how to draw at such a young age."

Xichun opened a pair of big black and white eyes, pouted and complained, "Why can't you understand at such a young age? Sister Lin looks down on people."

Lin Daiyu apologized to her with a busy smile, "It's my fault, didn't the fourth girl startle me because of her knowledge?"

Xue Baochai looked at the magnolia for a while, and said with a smile, "Cao Yibang is mostly used to draw the folds of clothes. It looks like tulle on clothes. It is a bit too delicate to match with magnolia. Sister Lin might as well try Wu Daozi's willow leaf drawing." , In and out, the handwriting is upright, coupled with a magnolia tree, the bearing is self-evident."

Lin Daiyu was not displeased when she said that, instead she smiled and said, "Today, I will be two confidants. I originally wanted to draw a picture of a beautiful woman with a skirt dragging on the ground, so I specially used a very thin one. I said it is not good-looking, and I think it is similar to Magnolia's." It doesn't fit. It's just this willow-leaf drawing, and only Wu Daozi can draw this kind of handwriting, bold and dense. The brush is better than the image, and I am arrogant, and I feel that I can't do it."

Xue Baochai nodded in praise, "I'm just saying, but Sister Lin is really talented."

Jia Baoyu was confused, and Tanchun even said, "I see that the line drawings are all the same, I don't want to have such a great knowledge. It's just that Sister Bao and Sister Lin are both big."

Xichun, on the other hand, looked very sorry, "Wu's belt is in the wind, and Cao's clothes are out of the water. I can't fully understand it. Although there are some imitations, they are far away, and they are just talking on paper."

Although she is the concubine daughter of the Ningguo Mansion, she has no worries about food and clothing, but the authentic works of Wu Daozi and Cao Zhongda are rarely seen.

Lin Daiyu saw a lot of people and couldn't reveal it, so she just shared with her, "This sentence comes from "The Chronicles of Pictures and Knowledge", which contains a detailed description of Wu's brush, which is round and round, while the clothes are floating. Cao's brush, Its body is thick and folded, and its clothes are tight."

Xichun pestered her and said, "Sister Lin is so clear, she must have this set of books? Tell me about it."

There are six volumes in this set of books, and they were just stored in the book box that Lin Daiyu brought. She squeezed Xichun's face and said with a smile, "You call me good sister, and I will answer you."

How could Xichun refuse, she tugged at her sleeve and hurriedly called her good sister a dozen times, she was so cute and made everyone laugh, Xue Baochai pointed at Lin Daiyu and said, "You are narrow-minded."

Lin Daiyu heard her call Jia Baoyu's nonsense words that time, her heart sank, the feeling of confidant just now disappeared, she covered her mouth and smiled, "That's all, since fourth sister is so sincere, I will accept it." .”

She picked up a pen and wrote the name of this set of books on paper, and another copy of "Mustard Seed Garden Painting Manual", handed it to Xueying, "I went to the study to find it, and let the fourth girl take it away in a while."

The Xichun elder sister who is happy is the elder sister and the younger sister is short. She is very happy, and she still has the usual cold face.

Jia Baoyu saw that Xueying was leading her away, and wondered, "Your sister's maid is actually literate?"

"I have nothing to do, so I just teach them a few words randomly." Lin Daiyu said, "Especially Xueying, if she is asked to take care of the study, if she can't read big characters, wouldn't it be a mistake."

"Sister, that's a good idea. I'm going to teach Xiren Qingwen a few when I go back." Jia Baoyu was delighted when he heard that, "Not to mention anything else, but it's great to learn poetry and compose lyrics together."

But Xue Baochai said, "Learning is all it takes, learning poetry is unnecessary. Firstly, it takes effort, secondly, it's useless. In the end, it's harmful to learn a lot of delicate mischief."

Just as Jia Baoyu was in high spirits, she became a little displeased, "Sister Bao is full of knowledge herself, and Wu Daozi and Cao Zhongda belonged to her, so why did she become mischievous when she came to someone else?"

Lin Daiyu didn't sound like what he said. Although there was some truth in it, she couldn't help but put Xue Baochai and Xiren Qingwen together, which was too rude, so she smoothed things over and said, "Whether it will be successful or not is still a question, you go back Ask the maids in the room if they are willing to learn from you. Then don't be compared to my snow sparrow."

Everyone laughed, and Xueyan brought tea and cakes at the right time, "The girls are tired after talking about it, let's have a sip of tea."

Magnolia was in full bloom, and the Zhongchun Pavilion was very quiet. Several people were sitting or standing, immersed in the spring light for a while, and silently stopped talking.

Lin Daiyu stood under the magnolia tree, thinking of redrawing a picture of a magnolia lady, and was fascinated by the flower branches.

Xichun approached mischievously on tiptoe, and suddenly shouted, "Sister Lin, what are you thinking of hiding here?"

Lin Daiyu was contemplating with all her heart, when she called out, her heart almost jumped out, she turned around and hit her and said, "You little devil, you came to scare me so hard, but I want you to be shocked."

"Hee hee, who told you to avoid us." Xi Chun hugged her arm, "My dear sister, can I come and learn painting from you tomorrow?"

Lin Daiyu made a serious face on purpose, "It was possible before, but it is not allowed now."

Seeing that Xichun was stunned, she took the opportunity to scratch her waist, "I want you to scare me."

Xichun was afraid of tickle, so she begged for mercy with a smile, "My good sister, please forgive me, I don't dare to do it again."

Lin Daiyu refused, and chased Xichun for half the courtyard, until Wang Momo came out to stop her, and Wang Momo supported her angrily and funnyly, "My sister, the fourth girl is still young, how can I do that?" Argue with her. Besides running like this, aren't you tired?"

Lin Daiyu was really panting, impatient to run again, Tong Xichun said, "I'll let you go today."

Xichun stuck out her tongue and made a grimace.

The servant girl hurriedly persuaded the two to sit down and have a rest, Xueyan served the tea ceremony, "Girl's forehead is sweating, drink some tea."

Lin Daiyu pressed the forehead with a handkerchief, waved her hands and said, "It's okay, you can put it aside. I'm panting for a while, and I'll drink it later."

When Xueying brought two little maidservants to bring the book over, the sisters couldn't help but read it again. While chatting, the parrot from Jiamu's place came to pass the word, "Someone came from the Princess Boping's mansion. The main thing is to take Miss Lin to stay for a while, and the old lady asked the servants to invite the girl over."
