The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life (Translated With Mtl)

Chapter 52

A few days back, Li Jin noticed that the dress was only partially completed, and he was in no rush to wear it. He found contentment in watching Qin Muwen sew the clothes for him while sitting in front of the window. On the bed beside Qin Muwen, their child was sound asleep. Both of them were Li Jin's cubs.

At that moment, Li Jin desired to learn painting and capture the essence of his loved ones on paper.

Just thinking about it is happiness.

Of course, it will add subtle affection.

Unfortunately, Li Jin had never learned how to paint. All he could produce so far was a sketch of little bun's smiling face painted on a whim.

He had promised to make a painting for Qin Muwen, but every time he attempted to put his pen to paper, he felt powerless.

Li Jin believed that Qin Muwen deserved to be painted beautifully, and stick figures were too simple to capture his true beauty. However, he was stuck and didn't know where to begin.

Now that there is no need to sit in the clinic, Li Jin had some free time, he decided to learn an art. In ancient times, the Six Arts were divided into ritual, music, archery, imperialism, literature, and mathematics. However, in this era, literature referred only to calligraphy and painting, since calligraphy was a necessary skill for scholars, it is no longer included in the six arts.

Li Jin didn't mention his wish to learn painting to Mr. Song, his teacher, as he knew that Mr. Song was from a humble background and had to support his family. Furthermore, Li Jin had never seen any scrolls in Mr. Song's study, indicating that he was too busy with work to dabble in painting.

Regarding Chen Xiran, obtaining endorsements is the most important goal for his family, and he cannot even draw or paint.

However, it seems that Chen Xiran knows how to ride, which Li Jin has yet to confirm.

As a result, there are hardly any individuals in Li Jin's vicinity who possess painting skills. The town is small, with only a handful of renowned scholars, and none of them can be considered the "sage hand of the painting world living in seclusion" as depicted in the script.

Li Jin was unable to find anyone to teach him painting.

The following day, Li Jin had breakfast at home and spent some time strolling around the courtyard while holding the little bun.

He did not have to attend school today. The time for Doushi to drink tea is set at Si Shi (10 in the morning).

Since the tea garden had not yet opened, Li Jin decided to practice writing a few characters before departing.

Li Jin and Chen Xiran agreed to meet in the morning at the steamed bun shop in town before proceeding to the tea garden together.

Upon Li Jin's arrival, Chen Xiran was already eating a meat bun while squatting on the side of the road.

The steamed bun shop owner was stunned, unable to fathom how someone dressed in satin garments could be eating steamed buns on the side of the road.

Chen Xiran offered Li Jin two meat buns, but Li Jin initially declined.

However, Chen Xiran insisted, saying, "I know you have already eaten breakfast, but I've attended those poetry gatherings before. The participants are particularly adept at composing poems and praising others. They usually don't eat until the afternoon."

Li Jin remained silent for a moment, then accepted the buns and began eating.

He usually ate breakfast early, and if he had to engage in poetry battles until the afternoon, with only tea to sustain him, he would undoubtedly become hungry.
