Jia Mu became interested in Lin Daiyu's portrait. : "Min'er, did you find this artist to draw this? Look, if I hadn't been holding this in my hand, I would have thought that this little guy would have jumped out!"

Jia Min: "I asked a nun in the convent to draw this."

Mother Jia: "A nun? A female painter who specializes in painting?"

Jia Min: "You can understand her as a Taoist nun or your aunt. It's just that the foreign monks believe in other people's foreign gods."

Mother Jia: "Oh, I understand. A monastery and a temple are the same thing. Why don't you donate some sesame oil money for me and invite the master to come and sit at home? Also take a photo for the girls. It will be a thought for you to take it out when you are older. .”

Jia Min: "Hahaha. This is easy to handle. This is also popular in the south. Ask my second brother for his day off that day. We can't miss him when we draw the family portrait."

Jia Mu agreed with a smile, and said that Jia Zheng was the only one in the whole family who was good at writing.After drawing the family portrait, I asked him to write an inscription.Then let the boy wait for the second master at the door.

Jia Zheng was very happy to learn that a female gentleman (nun) came to his home to draw a family portrait.But seeing Baoyu painting like a group of girls made him feel like he was playing with things.He had to learn everything at home.

Jia Min knows what homeschooling is like.Then he said: "Is it our family? Has Jia Dairu been admitted as a scholar? The Jia family school only asks him to teach people how to read. What else can he teach if he doesn't know anything?"

Jia Zheng was a little unhappy. : "As a woman, the Confucianism of Jia Dynasty is highly respected. Cultivate it for my Jia family."

Jia Min: "Yes, yes. I won't argue with you. I know that since he took office, my Jia family has had fewer children and no more scholars. If you let Baoyu go to school, you might as well go to the voluntary school in Coal Hutong. After all, he has been a wife. A fifth-rank official. Although I didn’t train a top scholar, I did at least train two male candidates.”

Jia Mu: "Are you so capable? If it's true, why don't you come to your home?"

Jia Min: "Mom. If a scholar comes out of our family, we can't wait to set off firecrackers. People don't dare to speak loudly if they are not allowed to study for free. There are also Jinshi and Tanhua. The difference is incomparable. I'm sure they won't be able to invite him." Second brother, if you accept so many people, can't you find a husband? It will waste time to go to the clan and study."

Jia Mu: "Yes. Why don't you find a husband to study at his home? If you can't find me, go and ask around."

Jia Zheng: "Mom, there is no need to worry. The child will be found tomorrow."

Being able to study at home is better than going to an outside wall.Jia Mu was very pleased.Then they talked about asking a nun to draw a family portrait.

A few days later two nuns came to Jia's house.Jia Zheng took people to Rongxi Hall.Jia Mu sits on the right hand side.Leave an empty space on your left hand.The whole family decided to include Jia Daishan in the painting.Jia Zheng, Jia pardoned Jia Min, several wives and other adults stood in a row.Children such as Sanchundai, Yubaoyu and Shi Xiangyun were sitting on chairs at the front.

The nun started by just sketching the shapes in charcoal.Jia Min fell asleep most of the day.The little ones couldn’t sit still either.

Then Jia Min’s idea.Otherwise it would be too tiring for everyone to keep posing.After the layout is drawn, the maid will act as a stand-in.The maids only need to wear clothes and pose.Facial drawing can also be done one by one.

The idea was unanimously approved.Originally, the maid and mother-in-law were quite happy to be the substitute for the young master.But after standing for an hour, my legs started to shake.After all, it's not obvious even when walking around.The longer I stand, the more tired I become.After looking at it, Jia Min said: "Silly girl! Just change people when you get tired! These girls are so stupid."

Several children had fun while watching the nun's paintings.
