Soon, the two maids walked in with more than ten scrolls together.
Put the scroll on the long pavilion of Nuan Pavilion, Qin Guan and Meng Yao stood side by side and opened it to see.
Grandma said, "The last painting ordered by the master was sent, and there were a few paintings that were painted by the masters on that day, looking at the landscape in the yard, and they were sent together today. The boy said that if the master If you don’t like it, you can just leave it. If you don’t like it, you can take it away. He also said that Master Ning does not charge money."
Meng Yao nodded while listening, Qin Wan said, "How many masters did Meng Fu paint on that day?"
Meng Yao said, "You didn't know that the painting gallery of Master Ning is the best one in Beijing soon after you returned to Beijing. In addition to Master Ning, there are more than ten artists. Master Ning's painting skills are naturally first-class. However, other masters also have their own styles. Generally, when people hold a feast, they will invite several masters together. Some are good at flowers and birds, some are good at characters, some are rich in color, and some are elegant and subtle. In addition to the master, we also invited two other people, who thought that the scenery of the mountains and rivers was good, and the other one was good at portraits."
Qin Guan had already seen Ning Zhuan that day, and she wouldn’t tell Meng Yao at this point. The Ning Yi Gallery was opened long ago, but she and her father and mother didn’t ask other nobles after they entered Beijing. Generally speaking, the artist is invited for the tea party, so I don’t know how to do it. Now Meng Yao said that she understood.
Speaking, Meng Yao has opened the first painting, unfolded it, and showed a family picture. The whole picture is drawn with a red plum Suxue's courtyard as a background. Qin Guan looked carefully. Although she was not familiar with the people in Meng’s houses, she saw it at a glance. She was sitting in the pavilion and was drinking from the three brothers of Meng’s family. Meng Wei stood beside him. Outside the courtyard, Meng Yao The younger brother and the younger girl stood in the snow, the Mencius and his wife stood under the plum tree, and the other three ladies stood by the fence and said something. A picture was full of more than a dozen people, but it didn’t show anything at all. Crowded, on the contrary, it seems that the brothers of the Meng family are harmonious and friendly, Ding Xingwang. Qin Guan swept the people in the painting one by one, only to feel that everyone was painting the most wonderful.
"This painting is Master Ning's handwriting, he is good at both characters and scenery, and every time he has a delicate composition, in fact, we were standing loose at that time... That day Laba, the weather was a bit cold, and the snow fell again, everyone Reluctant to stay outside for a long time, sitting in the courtyard for a while and then returned to the Mingde Building."
Qin Guan nodded, "Master Ning's painting skills are indeed very good."
Meng Yao nodded with a smile, looked at the mounting and the inscription again, and felt that it was okay before he rolled it up and put it on the other side.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Yao opened another painting, but this painting was only Meng Zhou. Meng Yao and Meng Zichen's family were three. The paintings of Meng Zichen were very magnificent, especially a pair of eyes seemed to be alive.
A few hints of warmth came out of Meng Yao's eyes.
Inviting people to paint, this is to leave a thought. Naturally, it is necessary to paint vividly. Qin Guan looked at the three of Meng Yao's family, and he couldn't help but think of his family of three. Although the face was not obvious, the heart was a bit sour. .
After reading this picture, Meng Yao opened the third one. This one opened, but it was a scene where the three brothers of the Meng family stood on a three-story building. The three brothers took Mengzhou as the center, Meng Hui and Meng Jin. One left and one right, I don’t know what Meng Zhou said, Meng Hui smiled very much on the face, but Meng Jin looked faint. Not only that, Meng Jin’s eyes were down, not the same as Meng Zhou and Meng Hui. Although this picture of brothers’ ascending is quite aloof, you can see carefully, you can see that the three brothers are not really harmonious, Qin Guan couldn’t help but sigh, the painter who painted was meticulous Extremely.
Meng Yao also saw the joints of this painting. If he didn’t know what was inside of the Meng House, he looked at what he knew, but what he knew was that this painting showed the internal struggle of the brothers of the Meng family by three points. Meng Yao smiled bitterly. "Master Ning's painting has always been meticulous. The second uncle obviously didn't listen to his father and the fourth uncle...
Qin Guan did not make Meng Yao difficult, so he said, "Xu is looking at the scenery."
Meng Yao shook his head and put the painting away. "The second uncle has gone. Whatever the junior is not good to say, no matter what, we don't want anyone in the family to have an accident. Zi Chen still said that the second uncle bought him that day. Have a lot of gadgets."
Even though Meng Jin is greedy, he listens to Meng Yao's words and he loves his juniors very much, so many people remember him.
The first three paintings were all made by Ning Yao. When Meng Yao opened it again, the style of painting changed. This fourth painting is the Meng House after the snow, and the continuous houses and pavilions are covered by Su Xue. But he couldn’t hide the rich hairpins of Meng Mansion. The painters had a huge layout, but they were extremely fine. Qin Guan also went to many places in Meng Mansion. Qin Guan knew the master’s skill when he looked at the lake. Then, Meng Yao opened several paintings, but they were all single portraits of the masters and masters of Fufu, and then Qin Guan saw the portraits of other rooms. The four rooms are also three people. On the shoulders, the youngest daughter stood beside the two with a beaming smile, and the three-room orphan and widow plus a daughter-in-law, Xu, was also happy. The only very strange thing was the second room. The second wife and Meng Jin stood side by side, but the two Not very close. Although Meng Jin smiled, the second lady smiled indifferently, but Meng Wei stood boldly on the other side of Meng Jin, with a brilliant expression on her face.
Looking at the pictures one by one, Qin Guan also saw a little bit about the inside of Meng Mansion. Meng Yao sighed when he saw the picture of the second room. "Aunt Er is a person who doesn't like to laugh. It was quite embarrassing. Later, the painter added a bit of his meaning to it. Upon closer inspection, the corner of the lips of the second aunt was slightly raised."
When the picture was changed, this time it was Mencius Yi and Xu Clan. They were standing under a cloister. Mencius Yi was holding Xu's hand and was pointing to the plum blossoms not far away to say to Xu Clan , This picture is only Meng Ziyi and Xu's two, the painter probably also saw the two people's affectionate love, so the two people's brows and eyes are relaxed smile, Qin Guan looked, could not help but lips The corner is slightly curved, "The relationship between the four young masters and the young lady is really good."
Meng Yao nodded his head, "But it's not that his 4th brother is sick and sick, and suffers from stuttering. After the death of the third uncle, he and the three aunts rarely see smiles on their faces. Later, when the four sisters-in-law married in, they had only one room Somewhat popular, but Xu Si's body is too weak. Sisao has been married for two years, and she still hasn't seen her pregnancy. Aunt San is a little anxious. She is not in good health. Because of this, Sige's medicine has never been cut off."
Meng Yao didn’t hide the meaning of Qin Guan. He didn’t shy away from seeing where he said it. The next paintings were the paintings of a few juniors or a few wives. A few juniors were nothing. Three ladies’ The painting also has a few clues, and nothing is shown in the family picture. When I arrived here, I saw that the third lady and the fourth lady stood closer, but the second lady was far away. The second lady stood alone and cut There is only a sense of fractal single shadow.
Upon seeing this, Meng Yao said, "The second aunt is also a bitter man."
Qin Guan hesitated for a moment, "You said to me that the second lady is the continuation of the second master, why did the second lady have nothing to do for so many years?"
Meng Yao was somewhat hesitant when she heard the words, "Actually... Actually, the second aunt just married in the second year, she was pregnant, but later had a miscarriage. Since then, she has been unable to get pregnant, and later a doctor said she did not Fazi was pregnant with her baby, and since then the second aunt has become more and more avoiding the world. In fact, she had a very good chat with Sansao before, and she was really not close to Sifang because of the relationship between the fourth uncle and the second uncle. The third uncle is gone, although she also avoids the world, but she will double to others if she is good to her. Zichen likes to play in the three bedrooms when she is not sick. In the past six months, Zichen’s condition has increased, so she is very Go out less."
Qin Guan listened, and looked at the face of the three ladies in the picture with a sigh, with white hair sent to black hair, and then no husband, I can imagine how miserable in my heart.
"The second lady and the third lady are both desperate."
Meng Yao nodded and opened several pictures while sighing. In addition to a few pictures of the garden, there was a big picture of the family at the end. Everyone in the Meng House was in the column. The elders in the front row were sitting and the back. It was the junior standing, a very formal family picture. Meng Yao glanced at it, rolled up the scroll without any errors, and asked Grandma to go back and then asked Qin Wan to sit down and have tea.
"This kind of thing happened in Fufu. When I went to two people at once, these words were regarded as masterpieces, and they would never be there again." Meng Yao cried because of Meng Wei's death earlier. , "My elder brother was very stubborn when he was young. We were bullied by several of our little ones. When he was older, he was still awkward, but our little one was okay. Later, he followed his second uncle. In fact, he has grown a lot more than he did before. The uncle and my father had asked someone to show their elder brother the marriage, and they were ready to get married this year, but who knows..."
"Do you believe he committed suicide?" Qin Guan asked.
Meng Yao smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Where would I believe, this man was not punished when he was a child. That was the responsibility of the eldest brother when he fell down on horseback. At that time, the elder brother's hand fell disabled and it took a long time. I couldn’t even write and eat, because my father was so angry that he beat him up with family law first, and then shut him in the ancestral hall for two days and two nights without food, and that’s why his brother just hated me. For a while, my father thought of suicide without breaking his heart."
Qin Guan affirmed his initial conjecture. Some people in this world will never think of suicide, some people have hope at any time, and some people are desperate to do evil and let others suffer rather than themselves. On the road to death, Qin Guan couldn't tell which kind of Meng Wei was, but he believed that Meng Wei's heart was full of unwillingness, how could he die before he found the key?
Thinking about this, Qin Guan said, "In this way, he seems to have been murdered..."
"The victim, who in this house would think of harming him." Meng Yao's eyes were red, and his expression was helpless. Obviously, everyone in Meng Yao was not a big evil in her mind.
"This matter has been checked again. Don't think about it anymore. People can't be resurrected. You are weak and not too sad. The young master needs your care."
Qin Guan comforted, Meng Yao nodded with a touch of wet eyes, "You can rest assured, I know."
Speaking, Qin Guan looked at the two books that Meng Yao placed in the corners of the couch. When the topic changed, he talked about Meng Yao’s poems and books. When talking about this, Meng Yao’s grief was slightly reduced, and Qin Although Guan is not as good at poems and books as the ladies in Beijing, she likes to read a lot, and she knows a lot. The two men talked about the time of two teas. As early as Qin Guan got up to leave, Meng Yao sent her out with some reluctance.
"Because of this disease, I usually rarely walk with other girls. It has been a long time since I talked to people like today. Nine girls, thank you so much today."
Qin Guan laughed, "Since you and I are friends, there is no need to thank you. Both your sister and your brother will take the medicine first, and you can see it three days later."
Meng Yao was busy, "After those three days, I will take Zichen to see you in Hou Mansion, lest you take another trip."
Three days later, it was the tenth day. Qin Guan thought about it and nodded. "That's fine, it's still around the afternoon of the afternoon."
The two arranged an appointment. Meng Yao smiled on the face and insisted on sending Qin Guan to the palace gate. "When you came, you came with His Royal Highness Prince Shizi. How do you go back now?"
Qin Guan said, "Your Highness wants to come to the house, I have to go to him."
Meng Yao said busy, "Well, I'll take you there, I want to come over the second room." Then Meng Yao said, "Are you familiar with His Royal Highness Prince Shizi?"
Qin Guan noticed that there was something meaningful in Meng Yao's words, and said, "I recognized it earlier in Jinzhou, but I didn't know it very well. What's wrong?"
Meng Yao took a step closer to Qin Guan, "Do you know the name of His Royal Highness Prince Shizi?"
Qin Guan was only puzzled, "What name?"
Meng Yao glanced around and whispered, "The name of the devil-not only that, but some people say that his life is hard, and his life has his own breath -"
Qin Guan smiled bitterly in the heart, and Yan Chi's name didn't know how to pass it back. When she didn't see Yan Chi, she also smelled like Meng Yao and other women's ladies. She nodded slightly, "I have heard some, but , And have known each other for a long time, and found that he is not as rumored."
Meng Yao was slightly relieved to hear her say, "You are clever, if you say he is not like that, then you really want to be, but... but you still need to be more careful."
Meng Yao's eyes are more about cutting, and Qin Guan's heart is slightly warm, and he feels a little funny, he said, "I know, you can rest assured, I was a little afraid of him at first, but when I recognize it, I don't feel it, and he has more Help me this time."
Meng Yao seemed to let go of his heart, "That's good, then it's good -"
The two talked and walked along the Yongdao to the courtyard of the second room. As a result, Qin Guan saw that the regulations of the Meng Mansion were very good. Suddenly, he looked up and saw a small building, she thought Shicai is painting the scene and busy, "This is Mingde Building?"
Meng Yao followed her and nodded, "Yeah, this small building is close to the main courtyard. It is used to feast or something on weekdays. Sometimes we juniors play alone, and they don't open very much on weekdays."
Qin Guan nodded his head and looked at the window on the third floor of the small building. In the painting, the three brothers of Mengzhou stood in front of the window and instructed Jiangshan. "It turns out that this is the place I just painted."
Meng Yao nodded his head, "It is precisely that Laba invited people to paint for a whole day. These painters are very old-fashioned. If there are more than ten paintings, if they are others, they are afraid to paint for a long time, but they have their own ways. "
When Qin Guan looked at the paintings at that time, he wondered why there were so many paintings in one day. Those figures could not be seen overnight. When leaving Mengfu, wouldn’t he forget what he saw earlier? And in that painting, the subtlety of details is really staggering.
"The painters each brought two drawing boys, and the drawing boys were also able to paint, and the scenery was traced by them to a prototype, while the characters were drawn by the artists to draw the prototype, a painting, they painted from the characters to the layout, It’s only about an hour, and the rest of the painting and adding the scenery are done after going back to the gallery. This is not the case every year in our house, so this year we will let everyone paint it again. In some houses, only one or two are painted. , The artist completed it from the beginning to the end. This does not matter the time, the processing is very delicate, and the price is naturally more expensive."
"Like Master Ning's painting in the palace, he didn't dare to be negligent." Meng Yao said, raising his finger, "That day, Master Ning followed my father, and my father they walked around very casually, Master Ning. When I saw a wonderful view, I told my father how to paint. After listening to my father, Master Ning first drew a rough sketch. The other two painters, one followed three aunts and one followed us, were random. Choose a landscape to paint."
Qin Guan only heard novelty. It turned out that the nobility asked the painter to paint.
Speaking of the two, they went to the courtyard of the second room. More than ten black guards were outside the courtyard. When Qin Guan came over, they were all saluting. Meng Yao was a little surprised to see this scene, but soon, Yan Chi walked out from the inside. .
