Dressed as a paranoid male supporting white moonlight

Chapter 11 Drawing Skills
Jiang Xian is really idle recently.

Aside from paying respects to Princess Jiayun in the morning, the rest of the time was spent in the Songzhuyuan reading the scriptures.

The weather is getting hotter, the peach blossoms are withering, and the green branches and leaves are flourishing.The sun is warm and warm, and the afternoon light is projected from the gaps in the branches of the peach trees, reflecting mottled halos on the ground.

Jiang Xian moved the chair under the tree, laid out a thick soft cushion, leaned half on it, and rested her feet on the low stool casually.She was only wearing a thin pea-green spring shirt, with black silk half up, and long hair hanging down her chest.The washed hairball dog, nestled obediently at his feet.Jiang Xian is holding a copy of "Yuanyangyuan" in her right hand, and with her left hand, she occasionally takes a few candied fruit from the table next to her and throws them into her mouth.

Cui Nong sat next to her on a small twig, doing needlework with a stretcher; Mammy Xu stood in the corridor, dozing off with her hands folded.

The time is comfortable.

"It's so ugly!"

Jiang Xian suddenly closed the book, startling Cui Nong and Madam Xu.

Cui Nong put down her needle and thread, got up quickly and asked, "Young Madam, what's the matter?"

Jiang Xian opened the "Mandarin Duck Fate", pointed to No. 40 eight times, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Look, this Song Chunsheng is really not a thing! Ning Niang worked so hard to provide him with food and clothing. , actually abandoned Ning Niang to marry the daughter of a high official! Poor Ning Niang, in the end she could only be assigned the status of an outsider! What's even more exasperating is that this Song Chunsheng was not good to the high official's daughter, so he accepted it again. Three-bedroom concubine, I'm so pissed off! This book shouldn't be called "Yuanyangyuan", it should be called "Messy wild mandarin ducks"!"

It also cost her two pennies to break the book, the more Jiang Xian thought about it, the more angry she became.

At the book shop, the boss said that this book was the best seller, Jiang Xian thought it was good, but it turned out to be a very clichéd stallion novel.

Cui Nong didn't know why Jiang Xian was so angry, it was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines.It was Duke Yu who had been secretly poked in the back for so many years, and everyone laughed at him for fear of guilt.

Nanny Xu is better than Cui, she rolled her cloudy eyes, thinking that Jiang Xian associated herself with the book.She walked up to Jiang Xian, picked up the "Yuanyangyuan" and explained: "Madam, you don't have to get angry because of the drama, you are married to the eldest son, he will definitely not put people in the courtyard. "

Jiang Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mommy, you are so far away, where are you going?"

She and Qin Yanfeng won't have much interaction, besides, she has no control over what Qin Yanfeng does.

Cui Nong suggested that Jiang Xian embroider to pass the time, but Jiang Xian saw that the head of needle and thread was as big as a bucket, so she tried reluctantly, her eyes were dazzled, and she was able to embroider her name.

Cui Nong probed over, blinked and asked, "Who is 'Jiang Xian'?"

Jiang Xian was shocked in her heart, she never thought that she embroidered her real name in a daze.I had to make nonsense: "...the name in "Yuanyangyuan"."

Cui Nong believed it, and Mother Xu said strangely at this time: "What's the matter, Young Madam, I used to be superb in stitching, but now I can't even embroider a few words well." Hold back and say nothing.

Jiang Xian's back was covered with cold sweat, and she pursed her dry lips, "After the sun set, I couldn't concentrate, and my hands were always shaking. I'm afraid it's impossible to embroider like before."

Mother Xu was still puzzled at first, but now she heard her explanation and knew that she was sick and weak, and her heart ached.He hurriedly said: "Then don't embroider, don't embroider, left and right are useless."

Jiang Xian went back to her room and took out a book.

When she sat back on the chair, she always felt that the chair was awkward, even if it was covered with soft cushions, it was still hard and uncomfortable.Moreover, the armrests on both sides are too wide, and she has to sit upright every time she takes candied fruit, which seriously affects the reading experience.

Anyway, when she was idle, Jiang Xian simply moved her mind on the chair and conceived in her mind to build a comfortable rocking chair.

In the spirit of lying down instead of sitting, the back of this rocking chair must be adjustable.It is best to make a row of boxes on the right armrest, which can hold a few books, and take it directly according to which one you want, without running into the house; make a tray on the left, and put candied fruit and teacups.And this little hairball, who likes to stick to her the most, why not make a bigger footrest under the chair...

Jiang Xian wants to draw the design immediately.

But when Cui Nong brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, she fell silent again.

Even if she is a designer, she can draw design drawings with a brush, but she can't do it.

This matter didn't bother Jiang Xian for too long, she turned her head and immediately thought of charcoal instead of pencils.The next day, let Cui Nong go to the big kitchen to pick some burnt charcoal sticks, sharpen one end with a knife, and wrap the shaft of the stick with rags, so that it won't dirty your hands while holding a painting and writing.

Jiang Xian took the newly made pen and tried it out quickly.

Her painting skills lie in her ability to sketch pictures in a smooth and fluid manner after a while of grinding with charcoal.

Just when Cui Nong was standing beside her, Jiang Xian sketched her outline again.Cui Nong recognized at a glance that the figure in her painting was herself, and was very pleasantly surprised: "Young Madam, your painting is so lifelike! I have never seen such a brushwork before!"

Jiang Xian never thought of hiding her clumsiness in front of Cui Nong and Madam Xu, she smiled and said, "I figured this out on my own, Cui Nong, please don't say anything."

"Why?" Cui Nong was puzzled, "If Young Madam puts out such a painting, she will definitely gain a reputation as a talented woman in the capital."

"What do I want to be famous for? I can't eat it. After I finish drawing the design of the rocking chair, you go out of the house and find a reliable craftsman, and ask him to make the chair as soon as possible." Jiang Xian poked it with a smile down her forehead.

Cui Nong was still ignorant, but she didn't dare to disobey Jiang Xian's order, so she nodded yes.

Jiang Xian immediately found something for herself to do.

She spent three days drawing the design of the rocking chair, checked it carefully, confirmed that it was correct, and handed it over to Cui Nong, who sent her to do the job.

Cui Nong was valued by Jiang Xian, and she was very happy from the bottom of her heart, vowing to negotiate with the lowest price.When she was not sold to Ye Mansion to be a maidservant, she was doing odd jobs all over the capital, and happened to know that there was a skilled carpenter in Yumu Lane, West Street, so she took the money and went straight there.

Unexpectedly, when Cui Nong rushed to Yumu Lane excitedly, he realized that the carpenter had moved away two years ago, and no one around knew where he went now.

Cui Nong was frustrated, thinking about the promise she made to Jiang Xian before leaving, she felt very guilty.She drooped her head and walked back dejectedly. She had just stepped into the gate of Duke Yu's Mansion, but she didn't notice it for a while, and bumped into someone with her head buried in the same place, and the design plans in her arms were scattered all over the floor.

Cui Nong came back to his senses, at first glance, he had handsome features, wearing a blue dress, a high ponytail, and a sword hanging from his waist.Immediately frightened, she quickly knelt down and apologized: "The servant was just distracted and accidentally bumped into the Second Young Master. I hope the Second Young Master will forgive me!"

"It's okay, get up." Qin Suixing is strong and healthy, and it's okay to be bumped.

He had a good memory and recognized that this was the maid next to the sister-in-law.The maid thanked him, but she didn't get up, instead she bent down to pick up the scattered rice paper with an anxious expression on her face.

Qin Suixing was about to leave, but couldn't help but glance at the picture on the rice paper, and suddenly froze.

He picked up one at random, saw that it was a structural diagram of the chair's components, and became interested.

"What is this? Show me."

Qin Suixing reached out to Cui Nong.

Cui Nong didn't dare to refuse, so he had to submit a stack of design drawings.

Qin Suixing took a closer look and found that the person who drew the picture had a very ingenious idea. Every part of this rocking chair has been drawn with an exploded view. If it is really built, it will be very comfortable to sit on.Looking at the paint, it doesn't look like ink, and the painter is a novelty that he has never seen before.

Qin Suixing smiled, returned the drawing to Cui Nong, and asked her, "Who drew this?"

Cui Nong said bravely.

When Qin Suixing learned that it was drawn by Jiang Xian, his expression changed.While secretly sighing that she has such a brilliant mind, at the same time feeling weird.After a long while, he said casually: "...my sister-in-law is good at drawing."

Cui Nong is a protector.

At this time, Jiang Xian was as tall as several floors in her heart, she frowned, and said unhappily: "Second son, my wife's painting skills are not only good, forgive me for being talkative, even today's masters of painting may not be able to draw." Draw a picture as vivid as my wife's."

Qin Suixing is good at landscapes and figures, and is well-known in Beijing.

Seeing the little maid in front of her fight against injustice, she felt amused in her heart, but couldn't help being curious about Jiang Xian's painting skills.

After Cui Nong boasted about Jiang Xian, thinking that she had messed up, she immediately became depressed.

Seeing her face changing again and again, Qin Suixing couldn't help asking, "If that's the case, why are you so unhappy?"

Cui Nong stammered about the fact that she hadn't found a carpenter. When Qin Suixing heard this, he happened to know a craftsman, so he changed his mind and said to Cui Nong, "Let me take care of this."

"...How dare you bother the Second Young Master."

Cui Nong felt that it was inappropriate, and was about to refuse, but Qin Suixing smiled at her and said: "There is nothing to trouble you, the family does not talk about the two, so it is settled. You go back and tell the sister-in-law that when the chair is ready, I Immediately send someone to Shochikuin."

After finishing speaking, Qin Suixing pinched the design drawing under his armpit, took two long legs, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Cui Nong had no choice but to stamp her feet on the spot, then turned to look for Jiang Xian to return her life.
