Chapter 38 - pattern
As the day of Shen Yu’s birthday is getting closer and closer, the Shen family is getting busy, but because it is not a full year, there is no big banquet planned, just as the eldest young master of the Shen family is coming back, Gather up and down together, add some festivity that’s all.
However, after a few days, the eldest princess and the old lady mentioned again that this time not only Shen Jingzhi was coming back, but also brought his second uncle back with him.
In fact, Mrs. Shen has only one son, Shen Yuan, which is why when the Shen family moved to Beijing, only Shen Yuan’s lineage moved over. The so-called second master is just a concubine, and there are three masters and four masters behind them. Only this one had a little more face because his biological mother was the maid by Old Shen Furen’s side in the past.
I heard that the word “Ming” in the names of these two masters was chosen by the old lady back then.
As for why he suddenly followed Shen Jingzhi to the capital, the eldest princess didn’t say it clearly, Bai Chujian thought that it would never come under the name of celebrating her nephew’s birthday, and hearing that the eldest princess meant that he was not alone, it seemed like he was dragging his feet. He came with his family, his wife, concubines and children.
To say that nothing happened, no one would believe it.
Mrs. Shen was quite happy. When she was old, she liked her children and grandchildren to accompany them lively. She heard that Shen Ming brought two sons and three daughters, so she arranged a place for the children, the eldest princess. She didn’t say anything, even though the mansion actually belonged to her, but she always respected the old lady for the inner house. Since the old lady was happy, she would cooperate with her, not only the residence, but also the people who served her. Going down, food, clothing, housing and transportation have to be considered, and it can’t be more thoughtful.
Bai Chu couldn’t help but sighed, with the respect of a princess, she can still worry about her mother-in-law so much, and it is no wonder that even if her half-brother sits on the throne, Princess Duanmin can still do it with ease, no less than when the late emperor was still there. scenery.
Fortunately, the eldest princess didn’t want her to share. I don’t know if she didn’t trust Bai Chuhua’s identity, or she looked at the difference between the third room and the long room. Bai Chu was happy.
In the eyes of the eldest princess, this complacency is obedient, and her impression of Bai Chu is much better. If it were not for the death of the elders, Shen Yuzhi would not be married so soon, but the eldest son and daughter-in-law died early. The eldest princess was also unable to shirk before taking the feed from the inner house.
It’s not that they don’t want Bai Chu to have proper access to the powers of some housekeepers and directors, but they are afraid of raising people’s hearts. The worst thing this family can do is to fight for power and profits. Princess Duanmin has seen too much in the palace since she was a child. Especially taboo.
In addition to being gratified, Bai Chu received a lot of brocade cloths from the eldest princess, which aroused her interest in designing clothes for herself.
So in the next few days, she nestled in the Wutong Courtyard happily tossing up the drawing paper, and Shen Yu had nothing to do, so she accompanied her to make trouble.
Although he didn’t know much about the style of women’s dresses, his painting skills were much better than Bai Chu’s.
After a few days, the study room of Wutongyuan was filled with beautiful women in all manner of poses and dressed in different styles.
The patterns of this era are simply to draw the top or bottom skirt, but Bai Chu asked him to draw a roughly human-shaped shelf, so that he can see the effect of wearing clothes. Pian Shen Yuzhi is a perfectionist, not only added his own movements, but also added a bun, face shape, eyes, ears, nose and tongue. How could he remember so many beautiful faces? The clothes made from the pattern are all worn on her own body.
In the end, she took advantage of it and got dozens of portraits for nothing, sitting quietly, leaning against the window, standing against the moon, smiling with flowers, etc., and she could produce a collection of paintings.
Bai Chu asked Shuangxi to carefully dry the ink and put away the ink. His attitude was rare and enthusiastic. When he washed his hands in warm water, he took the initiative to hand over the dry handkerchief: “Thank you so much for your help, third brother, are your hands sore? ?”
Shen Yuzhi was slightly flattered at the soft words under her smile, and said with a smile, “It’s nothing. When I was just practicing calligraphy, I could have used a pen for three hours, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Hearing what he said, Bai Chu also turned his attention to the paintings that covered the entire bookcase, and picked up the one beside him. With the figure, Pingting and graceful.
Dai’s eyebrows are open and charming, and her green temples are dyed with spring smoke. Not counting ink, only three or four colors are used, but there are thousands of emotions and beauty in the smudged ink. The tip of the pen seems to be alive, and the eyes are closed with a smile. Qingxiu rushed towards her face, strands and strands, hanging her heart tightly.
She sighed softly: “Ah…”
Shen Yuzhi looked over strangely: “What’s the matter? Where did the painting go wrong?” He turned his head to look, but before he could see anything, he heard her sigh beside him: “You made me look too good-looking. already.”
Bai Chu raised her eyebrows and was very troubled: “Of course such a good-looking girl looks good in everything, but I’m not as beautiful as your paintings, if I really made the clothes, what should I do if I don’t look as good as hers? ?”
Shen Yu was stunned, “poof” and laughed: “It’s you who I drew. If you say she is good-looking, it can only mean that you are so good-looking. How can there be so many strange ideas?” Although he did not draw anything. Figure painting, but for the first time I heard that there was a woman who was troubled by the artist who painted her too beautifully.
Bright light flashed in Bai Chu’s eyes, he raised his hand and raised the painting to the side of his face, and asked him earnestly, “Do you really think we are the same?”
Shen Yuzhi thought it was funny, but she was very cooperative on the bright side, looked at them back and forth several times, and nodded affirmatively: “Of course, I just drew it according to you, if it doesn’t look like it, isn’t it my fault? “
“Then I’m relieved.” Hearing this, Bai Chu smiled, his eyes were full of hope, with a little anger, the bright expression between his eyebrows illuminated everything in his body, and he happily turned around and ordered Shuangxi, “Take the portrait and the pieces of cloth to the embroidery room, and tell them to be careful. I will save these paintings for the clothes to compare them one by one. If there is one that doesn’t look good, I will look for it. The third young master will settle the account.” She smiled and looked at Shen Yuzhi again, “Let’s not talk about it, third brother, your birthday ceremony can be bet on this!”
Shen Yuzhi was in a good mood, and was also interested in accompany her in acting, pretending to be surprised: “I painted for half an hour, and Chu Hua didn’t give me some hard work, why did I even pay for my birthday gift? already?”
Bai Chu turned around leisurely, and the skirt embroidered with lotus petals made a beautiful arc: “It’s too late to negotiate the price now, buy and sell with a hammer,” she smiled with a bit of clever cunning, bending over and pointing I knocked on the desk and made a clear sound, “Boom, I will not return it, I have already collected the items anyway.”
Although Shen Yuzhi didn’t really care about her, she was blocked back in silence, and she was a little helpless: “It’s your turn to argue, you are really the first person.”
Since the last time Shen Yuzhi was hit in the head by the truth from Bai Yinhua’s side, and she came back in a daze, she has not left the house for several days. In the eyes of outsiders, it is the young couple who are finally in love, sweet and sweet. reluctant to separate.
From the eldest princess’ increasingly close and friendly attitude towards Bai Chu, she can roughly guess how it was spread outside.
According to Bai Chu, to say that Shen Yuzhi was really stimulated would not be so bad. Before Zhou Baixuan, there was already Wang An who made the bottom line. His expectations for Bai Yinhua were not so high, and naturally he would not fall into a trough at this moment. .
I guess it’s embarrassing.
In the original book, it was said that Shen Yuzhi’s infatuation with Bai Yinhua did not change, and he gave everything to help him, from his parents and elders to the servants around him. The author wants to highlight the deep affection of the male lead, and there have been several scenes where the people around him gently persuade him.
Bai Chu thought about Pei Qian and Zhang Hao who often interacted with him, and he must have been on the opposite side, especially when Shen Yuzhi was sad and drunk, just to comfort and persuade, Bai Yinhua’s right and wrong may not be mentioned too much and.
Originally thought it was the prejudice of others, but now I was blinded. At this moment, Shen Yuzhi is afraid that he can only be calmer in front of himself, a “silly girl” who is also fascinated and thinks that his sister is gentle and dignified?
To some extent, Bai Chu really guessed right.
At first, it was indeed escapism, but after a long time, Shen Yuzhi really felt that it was rare to get along with her at ease.
Although the two were husband and wife, they did not take this marriage as an important change for each other. The two seemed to have only really met each other. They were like brothers and sisters who knew each other well, and like good friends. They were unfamiliar but familiar. They laughed. There are no taboos in speaking, and the occasional inadvertent ambiguity is the icing on the cake.
Bai Chu didn’t really want to use himself to “save” Shen Yuzhi, so he grasped the proportions and limited the relationship between the two to a certain range, so that they would not be too close or alienated.
But if he can’t find a way to divert his attention, Bai Chu will have a headache. It is said that they are not married to love these days. They are a legitimate husband and wife. In case Shen Yuzhi really settles down and wants to be a good husband , should she or should not?
Fortunately, the eldest princess didn’t want to talk more about the love between men and women with her younger son, so Bai Chu pretended to be foolish to deal with them, and she was too lazy to work on them. After all, the long-lost eldest son finally came back. , the other side is also worried about how to convince the eldest son who is more stubborn than the younger son to continue.
Such a big mansion cannot always be without a eldest lady in charge.
So, a few days later, when Bai Chu went to greet her as usual, the eldest princess asked her thoughtfully: “Do you know the eldest girl of the Chen family in the boudoir? How does her appearance compare to what is widely rumored outside?”
