Chapter 902 Xue Baochai
Chapter 902 Xue Baochai
(Xue Baochai) (Baochai) (The first two chapters were slightly changed. Some people said that Qiaojie should not have been born yet, so it was also changed.)
Seeing Lu Cheng and Wang Xifeng thanking each other, Daiyu asked, "Feng girl, why are you so shy today? Why are you thanking each other so much?"
Wang Xifeng was thinking about the dream and was already a little uneasy. When Daiyu asked her this question, she thought Daiyu had discovered something wrong, so she quickly changed the subject: "Sister Lin is right. Just based on the relationship between us sisters, I shouldn't be so polite. The mansion has recently sent a few deer. How about I host you and treat you to roast deer meat? If Cheng'er likes it, you can also take some back when you go back."
Sister Lin nodded: "That's good enough. I should let you treat us to a meal more often."
Seeing that Lin Daiyu behaved normally and did not notice anything unusual, Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief. When she looked up at Lu Cheng again, she saw that Lu Cheng's gentle eyes were always on Lin Daiyu, and she couldn't help but envy the relationship between the two.
At this moment, Lu Cheng suddenly turned around and said to Wang Xifeng, "I see that my sister-in-law doesn't look very well. Have you been worried too much recently and didn't sleep well at night?"
Wang Xifeng was somewhat surprised: "Could it be that Cheng'er also knows medical skills?"
Daiyu nodded immediately: "Of course, Senior Brother is knowledgeable and talented, he is proficient in everything, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine and pharmacology. Speaking of which, I have been weak since I was young, and I often need to take ginseng nourishing pills to regulate my body.
Since my senior brother came, he first taught me martial arts, and then studied medicine painstakingly. He spent several years to make me strong and healthy, and I am what I am today. My senior brother has a photographic memory. He can memorize any medical book as long as he reads it once. In addition to the imperial examination, he has mastered the medical skills. "
When Wang Xifeng heard this, she was surprised and even more envious of the relationship between Lu Cheng and Lin Daiyu.
"Daiyu is exaggerating. Sister-in-law, you should drink ginseng tea frequently these days, right? Although ginseng tea can replenish qi and blood, it is not advisable to drink too much, as it can easily cause poor qi circulation. If sister-in-law trusts me, I will write a prescription for you, and stew a few herbs together to make a soup, which should be better."
"In that case, thank you very much, Brother Cheng."
Soon, Lu Cheng wrote a prescription and handed it to Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng took the prescription and didn't want to stay any longer, so she stood up and said goodbye: "I won't disturb you two from talking privately. Sister Lin, don't forget to come and find me when you come back."
After Wang Xifeng left, Lu Cheng chatted with Lin Daiyu for a while about cultivation and calligraphy and painting.
Daiyu suddenly became interested and led Lu Cheng out: "Brother, I have been learning to paint bamboo recently. There is a small bamboo forest in the garden behind. Brother, why don't you follow me to paint it."
"Alright."
Afterwards, the two of them took paintbrushes and other tools, Zijuan and Xueyan also took some things, and they walked towards the yard behind together.
After arriving in the garden, the two found a suitable angle, set up the easel, and began painting.
Lu Cheng has painting skills at the level of a "painting saint". Just by taking a look at the bamboo in front of him, he has already conceived a complete painting in his mind. He picks up the paintbrush and finishes it on the paper in one stroke.
Not long after, Lu Cheng finished painting a picture of bamboo and rocks. In the painting, the bamboo seemed to stand against the wind, its trunks were like spears, straight up, and its leaves were like knives, scattered in a forest.
This painting of bamboo and rocks is not only lifelike, but also contains the artistic conception of spear and knife techniques. A sharp aura seems to penetrate the paper.
Lin Daiyu was still painting, and Lu Cheng had already started to add poetry to the painting.
Just at this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from not far away, and in the blink of an eye, a group of young and beautiful girls were seen walking towards this side, surrounded by each other.
As soon as the group of girls turned the corner, they saw Lu Cheng painting with Daiyu. The leading girl immediately stopped and shouted, "There are outsiders here."
"Let me see who's there. Hey, isn't that Sister Lin's future husband? Should we avoid him?"
"They seem to be drawing, Ying'er, go stand farther away and take a look. What are they drawing?"
"What are you letting Ying'er look at? I'll go over and take a look." A pretty girl in a bright red peony flower robe walked straight towards this side.
Another girl in a pink dress followed closely and said, "Then Sister Yun and I will go over and take a look."
"Since you've met us, why don't you go over and take a look together? Aren't you curious about what they drew?"
In front of the bamboo forest, Lu Cheng had already noticed the arrival of the group of girls, but he did not look back. Instead, he finished writing the poem, wrote his name, and put down the last stroke before putting down the pen.
At this time, the girl in the bright red peony robe had already come behind Lu Cheng. She carefully looked at the bamboo in the painting and could not help but nod repeatedly: "This is a great painting. The bamboo in the painting seems to be alive."
“Although this painting is simple and bright, it has an air of standing proudly and unyieldingly. It is indeed a good painting that captures the character of bamboo.”
“Hold fast to the green mountain and never let go. The roots are planted in the broken rocks. After thousands of blows, it remains strong. No matter which direction the wind blows, it will not let go. What a good word for “hold fast” and what a good word for “let go”.”
At this time, Daiyu's painting was not finished yet. Seeing the girls coming, she could only put down her brush and turned to introduce them to Lu Cheng: "Brother, this is Shi Xiangyun, the eldest daughter of the Shi family. This is Baojie Xue Baochai, this is Yingchun, this is Tanchun, and this is Xichun."
Lu Cheng also smiled and nodded in return: "Meet the sisters."
Shi Xiangyun was lively and spoke first: "Since the champion calls us sister, I will call you brother."
Yingchun was of a calmer disposition. She bowed gently but did not dare to look at Lu Cheng for long. She lowered her head to look at the painting of bamboo and rocks that Lu Cheng had painted.
Tanchun was more generous and also bowed: "Tanchun greets Brother Cheng."
Xichun was the youngest, so she followed her elder sister and bowed, calling out, "Brother Cheng."
Finally, it was Xue Baochai, whose face was like a silver basin, eyes like water apricots, lips that were red without makeup, and eyebrows that were green without painting, who also bowed gracefully: "Baochai greets Brother Lu. I have heard for a long time that you are the top scholar, talented, brilliant in writing, and proficient in everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Seeing you today, I find that you are indeed as famous as he is said to be.
The bamboo in this painting has both form and spirit, and is naturally proud and strong, like the sound of swords and spears, which can be called the first masterpiece. And the poem, the words are exquisite, which can be called the second masterpiece. The words in the painting are also extraordinary and unique, with the style of Yan and Liu, and the style of the saint of calligraphy, which can be called the third masterpiece. With these three masterpieces, Brother Lu's painting may be passed down through the ages. "
Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the door. For things like music, chess, calligraphy and painting, one must have a certain level of taste to appreciate the mystery. Obviously, Xue Baochai has talent that is no less than Daiyu.
"Sister Xue, you are too kind."
Sister Lin also said, "Sister Bao is really good at praising people."
Since these girls were all unmarried, it was inconvenient for them to meet other men. This was also the first time Lu Cheng officially met these girls.
Xue Baochai had skin as white as jade, a face as beautiful as peach and plum, bright eyes and white teeth. She was like a newly blooming peony. She was gorgeous but not vulgar, bright and attractive, and was in no way inferior to Lin Daiyu.
Shi Xiangyun had a slender figure, a bright face, was pretty and lovely, and had a bit of the naivety of a little girl.
Jia Yingchun has slightly plump skin, a medium figure, cheeks as red as fresh litchis, and a nose as smooth as goose fat. She has a kind of quiet beauty.
Jia Tanchun has narrow shoulders and a thin waist, a tall figure, an oval face, handsome eyes and thin eyebrows, and a lively look. She is full of heroic spirit and makes people forget the world when they see her. It is obvious that she is a decisive person.
As for Xichun, she was still young, her face and figure had not yet fully developed, she was still childish and naive.
