Chapter 94 The Man in the Painting (1)

The fifth girl is inevitably in a complicated mood.For a while, she felt that she was too scary to speculate on Yan Ling like this, and for a while, she felt that she could not mistake her eyes, and this person was Yan Ling... that was very possible.

She is famous for being crazy.

And falling in love with the person in the painting is not uncommon in story books, but very common.The fifth girl once read a story about a poor scholar who was very talented but failed repeatedly, so he could only sell his paintings for a living. One day, when he was in a daze, he suddenly drew a peerless beauty, and then he became obsessed with it. Among them, he fell in love with the woman in the painting.He looked at the painting every day without thinking about eating and drinking, and soon became terminally ill.

The old mother at home was startled when she saw this, and wanted to burn the painting. After the scholar found out, he snatched the painting back from the fire. He was so angry that he even sprayed a mouthful of blood on the painting.

When night fell, he hugged the painting to sleep, and the woman in the painting came out unexpectedly.It probably means that she was grateful for his kindness and turned into a female ghost. She couldn't bear the failure of the scholar's good intentions, so she wanted to agree with her body.

Scholars are naturally willing.The two lived happily ever after.

But the good times didn’t last long, the scholar was entangled with ghosts, his body was full of Yin Qi, he became thinner and thinner, and there was always a sound of affection in the room at night, the old mother was curious and peeked once through the window, there was a stunning woman on the bed Tossing clouds and rain with his own son, he is clearly the person in the painting.

She was shocked and hurried to invite the Taoist priest.When the Taoist priest heard about this, he decided to accept the female ghost.The female ghost had a high level of morality and beat the Taoist back. At this moment, the old mother knelt on the ground and begged her to let her son go, saying that he would die if he continued like this.

The female ghost hurt her relatives, and she was willing to catch her without a fight.The Taoist felt his heart, thinking that sincerity is rare, so he did a good deed, made a body out of the peach blossom tree in the yard and gave it to her, so that if he lingers with the scholar in the future, he will not hurt the scholar.

But she can only stay with the scholar for ten years.Ten years later, it will disappear.

The female ghost agreed.The scholar also began to recover, and won the first prize three years later.It's just that the female ghost's body is a peach blossom tree and wood after all, so she can't give birth to children at all. So in the fourth year, the female ghost found a woman who looked like herself for the scholar to be his concubine, and let the girl be the scholar. After giving birth to the child, watching him and the woman singing in harmony, the child grew up slowly, and then died with peace of mind.

Miss Wu seldom reads the script, and she doesn't want to remember it.But this story shocked her for a long time. She secretly criticized with her mother that it turned out to be a story written by a poor scholar. She was about to win the first prize in the third year, and she couldn't help but want a new woman and a child in the fourth year.

She remembered her mother saying at the time: "The reason why scholars fall in love with the women in the paintings is that they like themselves. Because the paintings are drawn by them. This story can also be seen as a metaphor for their love for their talents."

Miss Wu was very contemptuous when she heard it at the time, but now she thinks it is very appropriate to use this set of words on Yan Ling.

Yan Ling is pure by nature and doesn't know what love is at all.Maybe what she likes is not the person in the painting, but herself?Women love themselves, this is the right way.But that being said, if this matter is true, it is still very bizarre.

Furthermore, what she painted was Sui Mingting.That is something that cannot be mentioned for outsiders.Even if he is said to be crazy, his reputation will not be good.

Fifth girl was very worried.She has never encountered such a thing.

She stood at the door, not knowing whether she should enter or not. Fortunately, the feast bell quickly came to her senses, and hurriedly packed up her pen, ink, paper and inkstone to invite her in, but she did not enter the inner room, but spoke outside.

The fifth girl knew that she was trying to hide the matter of Hua Sui Ming Ting from her.

Sheng Yanling didn't know that the fifth girl saw it, and she wanted to be wrong. She just thought that she had just arrived, and she collected the paintings in time, which was really dangerous!She asked, "Sister Wu, why are you here? Didn't you take a break?"

Because the third cousin was weak and wanted to rest for a while, my aunt told everyone not to rush to close the cage, but to rest first.

Fifth girl: "I couldn't sleep, I wanted to talk to you."

Feast bell: "Oh—then let's go for a walk?"

Fifth girl: "OK..."

She just caught up with Yan Ling's words.

So the two walked into the yard, first reported to Mrs. Li and Mrs. Er Shao, and after getting permission, they started to visit the yard.

The name of Xiaoxi Mountain has the word Xi, one is because there is a soup spring here, and the other is that there is a stream in the mountain.Miss Wu hadn't been here much, and she was in the yard when she came. She hadn't seen the stream, so she wanted to go with Sheng Yanling.

Mother Xu, Guan Gui and other maids followed behind, and sometimes they would stand in a row to protect the two girls when they met a villager.

Sheng Yanling is now more and more used to such battles, she whispered: "In our place, the magistrate has such a big battle."

Miss Wu laughed, and then took the opportunity to say, "What is our ostentation... Do you still remember to follow Ming Ting?"

Sheng Yanling's heart jumped up!Ah, fifth sister, you are so kind!He even took the initiative to say sir!She was unavoidably excited, but also suppressed her instincts, and finally said to Ai Ai: "Of course I remember..."

But in the eyes of the fifth girl, this kind of behavior inevitably made her even more thumping.She was really scared at this time, afraid that her thoughts were true.

If it is true... how can this be done?
She continued to say, "There is another courtyard here as well."

Feast Bell: "Really?"

Then she really did not make a mistake today.Mr. has really been to Xiaoxishan Bieyuan.

Resisting the urge to ask questions, she pretended to ask, "Where is his other courtyard? Is it grand?"

She thought Fifth Sister was going to talk about this, but who knew Fifth Miss said: "I don't know, I haven't seen it, I haven't heard that his family has come to Xiaoxi Mountain."

Then he said solemnly: "However, Xiaoxishan and Suijia are... not so upright. Yanling, you know that, right? Sui Boying once embezzled 100 million taels of silver for disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River."

Sheng Yanling nodded, "I know..."

The fifth girl said: "The one million taels of silver was found from the Xiaoxishan courtyard."

Yan Yanling's face began to turn pale, "Is it from the Xiaoxishan Bieyuan with my family?"

Miss Wu: "Yes, the name of his family's other courtyard is also very nice, it's called Xiaoxi Zhuang. When a million taels of silver were found there, everyone was shocked."

She said, "I heard that Sui Boying hid silver, but Sui Mingting didn't know about it."

Sheng Yanling didn't come up in one breath, and immediately stood where she was. She forced a smile and said that she was tired from walking, but the fifth girl kept looking at her face, and she became suspicious again. , what else do not understand.

She was terrified at first—this kind of disease cannot be cured.Then she was very confused: did Yan Ling know that she was sick?Shall I tell my mother?
 5.17 Leave of absence.

  Early tomorrow morning.
