Chapter 98 Happiness
Mother Sun, Mrs. Liu and others have become regular visitors to the Ice Sculpture Garden, hoping to see enough of it before leaving Beiyue City.
After all, in winter, the entire Dayan Dynasty is withered and the colors are monotonous. There is no place more beautiful than the Ice Sculpture Grand View Garden.
Mother Sun found that the paintings made by the second young master were even more beautiful now. The colorful phoenix ice sculptures he painted were particularly bright and beautiful, even more beautiful than the originals.
She also wants to ask the Second Young Master to draw a picture for her, using this colorful phoenix as the background.
When I return to the capital and take out this portrait, it will surely make others envious.
Of course, she would be even more grateful if Miss Qianqian could draw a picture for her personally.
However, she didn't dare to even think about it.
"Cousin, I'll take care of your business, please draw a picture for me."
Mother Sun's words sound nice, but there are already more than a dozen tourists queuing in front of Qin Er waiting for him to paint for them.
The servant Ah Shui gently persuaded, "Mother Sun, although we are acquaintances, Captain Lin has stipulated that no one can cut in line."
"I'm not trying to cut in line. Everything is based on first come first served. I just came up to say hello and I'm going to queue now."
Mother Sun smiled and retreated to the end of the team.
Since Qin Er received guidance from Lin Qianqian, his painting speed has increased several times.
Mother Sun finally got in line before the sun set.
She sat in front of the phoenix ice sculpture, her body stiff, nervously pinching the corner of her clothes.
This was the first time in her life that she asked someone to help her paint a portrait.
"Second Master Qin, please help me draw a better picture."
The servant Ah Shui comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam Sun. My son has made great progress in painting after receiving guidance from Captain Lin. He will surely satisfy Madam Sun."
When Lin Qianqian came over, Qin Er had already finished painting.
A Shui was about to hand the painting to Mother Sun.
Lin Qianqian: "Wait a minute, let me make some changes."
Mother Sun was flattered. Miss Qianqian also wanted to paint a few strokes on it? This is really great.
Lin Qianqian made some minor adjustments to the painting, lightening the nasolabial folds, removing a few wrinkles, and lifting the tails of the eyes.
This simple operation is like adding a layer of filter, making Mother Sun in the portrait look more than ten years younger.
"How is it? Qin Er, what do you think of my revisions?"
Lin Qianqian accidentally rubbed Qin Er's messy hair, making Qin Er blush.
Qin Er answered seriously: "Master, after you change it like this, it doesn't look very real."
Lin Qianqian's lips curled up slightly, "Reality is secondary. Female guests love beauty. You have to paint them to look like them and look beautiful. A beautiful painting will make them happy for a long time."
“Remember, money can’t buy happiness. If a painting can make people happy, then it has reached its maximum value.”
Sure enough, after Mother Sun got the portrait in her hands, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
I got several more wrinkles from smiling.
"Well, well, well, the Second Young Master's painting skills are really superb. He has turned an old woman like me into a beauty."
The portrait completely exceeded her expectations.
If I had known the painting was so beautiful, I would not have hesitated for several days before spending the money.
When the second son of the Qin family saw the broad smile on Mother Sun's face, he thought: Master is right, a beautiful portrait can really make a woman happy.
Lin Qianqian handed the brush back to Qin Er and said with a smile: "As a painter, you have the ability to make them happy. Remember to paint the female guests more beautifully in the future. When the female guests are in a good mood, their lives will become better."
Qin Er was stunned: Do I have the ability to make others happy?
The master spoke of him as if he were very powerful.
"Follow the master's instructions."
Lin Qianqian turned to Mother Sun and said, "This portrait will be very valuable in a few decades."
Mother Sun imagined: Miss Qianqian means that the second young master Qin will become famous in the future, and his paintings will become very valuable.
Since Miss Qianqian thinks that Young Master Leng Qin is talented, he must be a very talented person.
This painting must be kept carefully and passed down to future generations as a family heirloom.
Mrs. Liu stood beside Mother Sun and glanced at her portrait.
Oh my god, this painting is so beautiful. You can tell at first glance that it is of Grandma Sun, but she looks younger and prettier than the real person.
Mrs. Liu was so envious that she also wanted to draw a beautiful portrait.
It's a pity that we have been delayed for so long. It's already getting dark and Master Qin has to go off work today.
Then I can only draw it tomorrow.
First confirm whether Master Qin will come tomorrow, so as not to come empty-handed.
"Second Master Qin, will you come to paint tomorrow?"
"It's coming."
Mrs. Liu had originally decided to return to Beijing tomorrow, but now she decided to stay for one more day. She had to ask Mr. Qin Er to help her draw a picture.
"Old sister, let's set off the day after tomorrow."
Mother Sun agreed readily: "Okay, okay."
It doesn't matter if it's just one or two days. Anyway, the wasted days can be said to be due to persuading Miss Baozhu to return to Beijing.
The next day, Mrs. Liu spent one or two taels of silver and got a portrait.
One tael of silver was her monthly allowance, but she felt it was well worth it.
Mrs. Liu was forty-five years old. The person in the portrait had gentle and beautiful eyes. She was ten or twenty years younger than she was, but she could be recognized as her at a glance.
It is truly precious that she has been able to preserve her youth.
After the ink on the painting dried, Mrs. Liu carefully rolled up the portrait.
I am determined to preserve this portrait so that I can take it out and look at it from time to time. Seeing my younger self will make me feel younger.
"Mother Liu, let's stay in the Grand View Garden for a little longer tonight. We have to go back to Beijing tomorrow morning. We will never see this paradise on earth again."
"That's right."
This colorful ice sculpture, like glass, is truly beautiful in the ice and snow.
Indescribable beauty.
The two of them walked around until the ice sculpture park closed, and then reluctantly returned to the inn.
Early the next morning, Mother Sun and Mrs. Liu sat in a carriage and began the long journey back to Beijing.
Mrs. Liu held the painting in her hands and looked at it over and over again but she could never get enough of it.
"Sister, my life is worth it."
In the past, Mrs. Liu thought that she would never be able to leave the capital until she died, but now she has been to Beiyue City and the crowded Ice Sculpture Grand View Garden, and has broadened her horizons.
Many mistresses and rich ladies in the capital city have never had the opportunity to travel far away and are not as blessed as her, so this life is worth it.
Mother Sun smiled and said, "Who says it's not true? My life is worth it."
Granny Liu looked at Grandma Sun's face and praised, "I think Beiyue City is quite nourishing. Old sister, your skin is much smoother than when you came here."
Mother Sun just smiled but said nothing. She held the painting in her left hand and a wooden box in her arms.
The box contained an ordinary palm-sized pottery jar, which contained the discarded moisturizer given by Lin Qianqian.
Although it was useless, the effect is very good. Mother Sun has been using it for two days.
Miss Hongdou said that every servant in the mansion has a copy, so it would be a very happy thing to be able to serve Miss Qianqian.
