Chapter 502: Remedy, Qing'er Goes Down the Mountain
Yujie took a step forward, stood in front of Shao Wanru, and glared at the maid angrily: "Then why didn't you explain it clearly just now? You kept crying when I asked you, and you hid everything you said about our lady. This makes people sad. What do you think of our lady?"
"Slave... I just wanted Miss Wu to ask for a favor from... the grandma in charge..." The maid burst into tears and was very anxious.
Shao Wanru lowered his watery eyes and glanced at the maid silently for a few times. He didn't bother to argue with her and waved his hand: "The lady in charge has left. You should go back to the house first."
"Yes... I'm going back soon!" The maid wiped her tears, stood up and left in a hurry. Even though she was limping, she was also walking in a hurry, as if someone was chasing her.
Everyone present looked at the back of the maid in astonishment, and none of them could say anything. The current scene clearly showed that there was something wrong with this girl. Before, she deliberately caused others to doubt the fifth lady, but in fact, the fifth lady She couldn't even recognize the young lady standing in front of her, so how could she be the one to punish her.
I had been crying and couldn't explain clearly before, but now I can speak smoothly, not only very smoothly, but also running fast. This is obviously a thief with a guilty conscience.
When everyone came back to their senses, Shao Wanru's master and servant were no longer there, and the onlookers were talking about each other as they left.
They all felt that the fifth lady of Duke Xingguo's mansion was a pitiful person. Not only did her parents die early, but also because she was living abroad, even her relatives in the mansion were very indifferent to her. In the past, she was forced to take refuge in Yuhui'an, but now The servants in the palace poured dirty water on her again. I don't know if it was the madam who really didn't like her granddaughter, or the current Duke Xingguo who did it.
Although it is said to be in the name of Mrs. Yitai, it is said that the inner courtyard of Duke Xingguo's mansion is in charge of Duke Xingguo. If there is really a servant who wants to slander this fifth lady, the most likely person is this Lady Xingguo. , she has no blood relationship with Miss Shao Wu, and she also vaguely heard that Mrs. Xingguo hated Miss Shao Wu.
There were originally divergent opinions about what happened two years ago, but now that times have changed, it has been revealed again. More and more people are talking about this matter, but it is something that the Madam never thought of...
Shao Wanru returned to the quiet room and looked at the picture album in his hand. Yujie had carefully wiped the thick stains on the album with a handkerchief, but it still hadn't been wiped off. Not only had it not been wiped off, but because of Yujie's wiping, The colors on it are also different shades, making it look even more ugly.
"Miss, this... this mark didn't exist before, why did it suddenly appear later?" Yu Jie still doesn't understand why such a phenomenon occurs.
The originally clean picture album suddenly became stained after being taken into the lady's hands for a while. She was certain that nothing was spilled on the picture album at that time, and the lady was just looking at it. She could see clearly from the side.
So where did the stains that appeared out of nowhere come from?
Shao Wanru stretched out his finger and scratched the stain, scraping off some of the color. He put it in front of his nose and smelled it gently, his eyes flashing.
Colors appearing out of thin air?
She really knew this. The paint made from "wind saltpeter flower" could temporarily not show its color, but after a while, the previous color would show up.
The saltpeter is odorless, but the paint must be bright in color. If no other colors are added, the color will be bright but not very clean, just like the stains now.
This matter was told to me by the layman Wei Yuxuan who taught him painting skills in his last life. However, in his memory, the appearance of the layman Wei Yuxuan has always been a vague existence, and some things about him cannot be remembered. Clear, as if this memory about him was blurred by clouds.
This is also the reason why Shao Wanru was so anxious when he saw the signature of "Weiyuxuan Jushi".
"Wind Salt Flower" is not something that ordinary people can get. It is a good product for mixing some special pigments. If you are not very knowledgeable about painting, you will not know about it at all.
He reached out and pinched the paper of the album, and said to Yujie: "Where is the new stack of drawing paper that was sent last time?"
"Slave, please look for it!" Yu Jie stood up and walked to a corner of the quiet room to rummage around. After a while, she came over with a stack of fine paper, "Miss, is this the stack you want?"
Shao Wanru stretched out his hand and pinched it, feeling the paper under his hand, and nodded.
"Are these two kinds of paper the same?" Yu Jie somewhat understood what Shao Wanru meant. She stretched out her hands and pinched each one, then frowned: "Miss, although these two kinds of paper feel good, but It’s obviously not the same kind of paper!”
"It doesn't matter if it's not the same kind of paper!" Shao Wanru smiled, took a few pieces of paper and a picture album, and walked to the desk by the window. In front of the desk were placed ink and various paints, which was where she originally painted.
After spreading the paper on the table and looking at the stained paper, Shao Wanru picked up the brush and started writing stroke by stroke.
The paintings in the album are very good, especially this one. It can be seen that a lot of thought was put into it. Even in this one, you can feel the proficiency of the technique and the superb skills. It is definitely not the best. Ordinary people can draw it, but if they go down the mountain to hire a painter, they may not be able to hire him.
But Master Pushan's painting skills on the mountain must be good, and Shao Yanru's painting skills below the mountain are also very good. But what they don't know is that Shao Wanru's painting skills, brought from the previous life, are also very good.
If it weren't for her really good painting skills, she wouldn't have become the painter of the show girls in her previous life. Moreover, the show girls recognized her and many people came to her to ask her to paint one.
During the royal talent show, portraits of beautiful ladies were sent in. I heard that the painters of the previous dynasty also accepted bribes, and the paintings did not look like them, and in the end they did not even save their lives. Later painters strived to make the paintings realistic and accurate. Obviously, this requires very high skills from the painter.
And the same goes for the paintings in the current album.
Yujie looked at the paintings that Shao Wanru had been painting for more than two years. She went from not understanding at all to half understanding and half understanding. She also saw that the artist in this album had extraordinary skills.
His eyes fell on Shao Wanru's tender white face with some admiration.
His face is peaceful, his eyes are dark, he has a charming face, and his lips are slightly pursed. From every aspect, it can be seen that Shao Wanru worked very hard to paint this painting.
Shao Wanru only used some of the lunch meal, and then she didn't even take a nap and continued painting. She didn't have much time, and those people wouldn't give her much time.
Even though she had been seizing the time to paint, she still painted until dinner time. For several hours, she kept painting. By the time she finished painting, her whole body felt sore. She put down the brush in her hand and waved, Shao Wanru's eyes fell on the painting he had just finished and the paintings in the previous album.
The two paintings are almost identical, even the angles in which the colors are treated look similar.
He breathed a deep sigh of relief and ordered: "Go and ask Qing'er to come over!"
"My slave, go and ask Qing'er to come over right away!" Yu Jie nodded and called Qing'er in, who was squatting on the porch outside playing with nothing to do. She knew that this little girl Qing'er was not really as careless as she appeared. Harmful, how can the person sent by His Highness King Chen be really harmless!
"Take this painting and this album away, ask someone to mount the painting and bind it into the album, and remove the damaged one!" Shao Wanru ordered.
Yujie gathered up everything on the table, packed it in a box, and handed it to Qing'er.
"When do you want it, miss?" Qing'er took the box without any surprise and asked with a smile. She looked young and even had a baby-fat innocent look on her face.
"Tomorrow morning!" Shao Wanru thought for a while and said, she felt that others would not give her much time for this album.
"Okay, miss, let me go down the mountain once!" Qing'er nodded. smiled.
Shao Wanru smiled slightly and waved her hand. She knew Qing'er could do it, or Chu Liuchen behind Qing'er could do it.
But she didn't need to ask about the specifics.
"Be careful on the road." But she still warned her specifically. It was getting late now. The pilgrims who wanted to go down the mountain had already gone down, and those who stayed would not go down. The people who were still going down were particularly conspicuous. , especially the people around you.
Fortunately, Qing'er is just a little maid, and a rough one at that. If Yu Jie were there, she might not be able to get down the mountain no matter what!
Moreover, Qing'er's maid was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Shao Wanru was not at all anxious about whether she could go down the mountain.
"Don't worry, miss, I'll spare it for you, slave!" Qing'er understood and bowed to Shao Wanru again, and then walked out the door holding the long box.
Shao Wanru has his own carriage on the mountain. The carriage has been parked at the parking lot of Yuhui'an. The carriage driver has a room next to it. This is also the house rented from Yuhui'an. There is a small distance from the mountain gate of Yuhui'an. The distance is not considered to be inside Yuhui Temple.
When Shao Wanru was on the mountain, the coachman usually stayed in this room unless he had something to do.
There are several such houses next to the parking lot. The carriage drivers who take their masters to Yuhui Temple to worship the Buddha often rest and drink tea in an empty room, waiting for the masters to come back from the mountain after worshiping the Buddha.
Shao Wanru never came down the mountain, but her maids did from time to time, so the carriage became a substitute for them.
Seeing Qing'er coming out, the carriage driver from Duke Xingguo's mansion happened to see him and came up to him with a smile: "Miss Qing'er, are you okay?"
"The eldest princess gave the fifth lady something before. The fifth lady also has something to give to the eldest princess. I will send it to the eldest princess now. Please go to the next mountain!" Qing'er said with a smile. She didn't look very old, and His innocent appearance is very endearing to others.
"This..." The coachman became embarrassed.
"What? Isn't it possible? If not, I will borrow the carriage next to me. No matter which family it is from, when I get to Princess Ruian's mansion, I will thank them deeply!" Qing'er rolled his eyes and smiled. He pointed to several carriages parked on one side of the lane.
I believe whoever brought up the name of Princess Ruian would give her some face.
