Painting Doctor Jinhua

Chapter 42: The Spring in the Garden Cannot Be Confined

She said this so calmly and peacefully, as if she was just chatting about something interesting, or something elegant, that the children from various noble families present thought they had not heard clearly.

"What are you drawing?" Lu Sheng pricked up his ears and asked again.

Xiao Jinyu said loudly: "I will draw a picture of Chun Palace for you gentlemen, what do you think?"

"Puff——" Someone couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of wine. Even in the attic there seemed to be a noise, but when everyone looked, there was nothing else except a screen.

"Prince, this young lady is so generous! Does she know what the Chun Palace Map is?" The guard squatted down and asked quietly.

The man in Xuan Shang still did not answer, but just glared at the guard who almost did something bad.

The guard quickly covered his mouth and stopped talking.

"Young lady, do you know what the Chun Palace Map is? Have you seen it?" Lu Sheng asked with an incredible look on his face while trying not to laugh.

"I haven't seen it, but I have a rich imagination!" Xiao Jinyu answered, then looked at a branch of apricot blossoms slanting out of the window and continued to smile, "I think it's probably... the spring scenery fills the garden and a red apricot blossom blooms outside the wall, it's a beautiful scene like this!"

After she finished speaking, there was a strange silence in the hall again, followed by a suppressed low laugh. Gradually, the laughter became louder and louder, resounding throughout the hall like thunder.

The guards hiding in the attic covered their mouths and laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.

"What are you laughing at? Stop right there!" Xiao Yun suddenly shouted, "The spring scenery fills the garden and cannot be contained. A red apricot blossoms outside the wall. This is a great poem! How can you laugh?"

"Yes, yes, what Mr. Xiao Balang said is absolutely right!" Although several young men from the scholar families agreed with him verbally, they did not stop for a moment from leaning forward and backward.

Just at this moment, two maids brought the seven-foot brocade, Zhang Zhi's brush, rouge and peach blossoms that Xiao Jinyu wanted to Xiao Jinyu.

Xiao Yun looked at the two maids meaningfully, and after the two maids nodded, he raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Jinyu.

"Please draw!" he said with a smile.

Then, Xiao Jinyu spread the seven-foot brocade flat on the ground, stood tall in front of the painting, holding a three-foot Zhang Zhi brush in her hand, grinding ink, splashing it, and adding red. Her strokes were continuous and fluent, and all her movements seemed to be done in one go, like flowing clouds and running water. The whole person seemed to be in the misty mountains and forests, so that every one of her movements was as leisurely and elegant as carrying smoke and water, so leisurely that people could not ignore it.

The young men from the noble families were so stunned that they forgot to drink the wine glasses that were raised to their lips. The frivolous laughter they had just had was completely washed away!

"I didn't expect that this young lady, though she speaks vulgarly, can paint in an unusually elegant way!"

"Mr. Zhu, what you said is wrong. Ignorance is not a crime. How can those words be considered vulgar? They are clearly talking about elegant things. That is elegant!"

"Yes, yes, it is indeed elegant!"

"But this doesn't look like painting at all! It's clearly just dancing!" someone sighed.

"Yes! I have never seen anyone paint so beautifully!"

"This little lady is really extraordinary!"

Xiao Yun sat up straighter, his eyes never leaving Xiao Jinyu. He was so stunned that he couldn't utter a word. At this moment, Xiao Jinyu was holding a peach petal in her mouth, holding a pen in both hands, and her dancing sleeves were like flowing wind and snow.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the charm she inadvertently revealed when she glanced at him took his soul away!

Such a beauty should be hidden in a golden house. At this moment, Xiao Yun suddenly felt a little regretful.

At the same time, not only the noble family in the Ascott was stunned, but also the two mysterious men hiding behind the screen in the attic!

"Oh my God! Prince, I'm glad I followed you to watch this show, otherwise I would have missed such a good show. I have never seen such a beautiful painting dance! Prince, have you seen it?"

The man in black clothes did not answer, but looked at Xiao Jinyu and the painting she drew thoughtfully. He saw her red lips slightly parted, peach blossoms falling, and then she took a sip of fine wine and sprayed it on the painting. Then, the painting became vivid as a heavy city locked in fog and hundreds of flowers blooming!

“This painting is finished!”

While everyone was stunned, Xiao Jinyu suddenly put down his pen and stopped dancing and spoke.

Lu Sheng was the first to wake up. He quickly walked around the pond and ran to the painting. He saw that the originally spotless white brocade now looked like a garden filled with spring scenery, bright, gorgeous and full of vitality, as if he was already in the painting.

"It's a really great painting! Even if Wei Xie and Gu Kaizhi were still alive, they wouldn't be able to match it!" Lu Sheng sighed sincerely.

After his sigh, the other princes gathered around him with even greater curiosity, and Xiao Yun was no exception.

It was not until he saw the entire painting clearly that Xiao Yun was stunned with shock.

"What a beautiful painting! How can it be so lifelike, as if it were real!"

"Yes! It's like the spring scenery in the garden is right before our eyes. We are all in this painting!"

While the scholars were still immersed in the painting, Xiao Jinyu suddenly said, "Since you gentlemen approve of my painting, why don't you write your names on it as a testimony so that Ah Yu can gain a good reputation in the future? How do you think?"

"How difficult is that? It's just a matter of naming. I'll go first!"

Lu Sheng spoke first, then he picked up the brush and wrote his name on an apricot blossom in the painting. Soon other scholars also wrote their own words.

Only Xiao Yun looked at Xiao Jinyu thoughtfully.

"Wait! I'll take this painting!" He suddenly said, raised his hand and signaled the two maids to roll up the painting, then turned to Xiao Jinyu and said, "Ah Yu, this place is not fun enough, how about we go somewhere else to play?"

As he spoke, he actually grabbed Xiao Jinyu's sleeve. At this time, Xiao Jinyu's cheeks were already flushed because she had drunk some wine. Even in Xiao Yun's view, her eyes were a little blurry, and her lips were even more rosy and attractive. A kind of delicate and charming charm belonging to a woman emanated from her already quite charming body.

It seems that the medicine is starting to take effect!

Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

"Oh, where are you taking me, Xiao Lang? The way Xiao Lang looks at A Yu is really intimidating! Could it be that Xiao Lang has fallen in love with A Yu?" She said with a smile, her tone was ambiguous and somewhat confusing.

At this time, Xiao Yun had already taken a step towards her.

"You're right, I just like you!" He whispered, and actually picked up Xiao Jinyu by the waist, and walked out of the hall in a flash under the gazes of other scholars!

Looking at his anxious figure leaving, Zhu Silang felt a little angry.

"This Xiao Yun, does he want to eat alone?"

Lu Sheng raised his hand to stop his discontented muttering and said, "Today's banquet was originally invited by him, so he should drink the first mouthful of soup. However, I feel it is a pity for her. I thought she was just a plaything, but I didn't expect she could have such talent. If this young lady were to be killed by us today, I am afraid she would be gone forever!"

"Tsk! Mr. Lu Silang has always been known for his ruthless behavior towards women, why is he being so gentle and kind to women now?" Zhu Silang said with a smile.

"I have always been kind to women, Zhu Silang, please stop talking nonsense!"

The seven or eight young men from noble families in the hall were obviously anxious and dissatisfied, and some even couldn't help revealing lustful looks.

"I want to see if this young lady is really as charming as Xiao Yun said. If so, wouldn't it be a pleasure to take her back and enjoy the nights?"

"..."

Listening to these young men from aristocratic families talking to each other, each word was more filthy than the last!

The guards couldn't help but clench their fists in indignation!

"Prince, how can these young men from noble families be so despicable and shameless...I'm afraid that young lady has been tricked?" He asked, and when he turned around, he could not see the figure of the man in black clothes!
