Royal Master Painter

Chapter 175 Preparation (addition, thanks to Luo Hua for the reward)

Zhou Xiaoshi, who was still talking nonsense, was carried on the back of the donkey all the way back to Mahuang Lane. Jiang Li didn't know where he lived and couldn't ignore him, so he had to take him back to Mahuang Lane.

Qingdu is very masculine, and there are many scribes fighting in broad daylight under the flower trees. Such things are not surprising.

The people of Qingdu have a high tolerance for ridiculous scribes. As long as you love me, love should transcend gender.

But Zhou Xiaoshi was an exception. Seven out of ten scribes had a one-night relationship with him, which had already broken the limit of their acceptance.

After seeing Jiang Li leading Zhou Xiaoshi, some old men squinted and took a bite.

"It's over, I can't wash myself off by jumping into the Yellow River now," Jiang Tan sighed helplessly.

Even Su Kou was very surprised when he saw Zhou Xiaoshi, and it took him a long time to finally explain it clearly.

After all, although he has never met his parents, the old couple became pregnant and gave birth to him, which clearly shows that he is fine.

Zhou Xiaoshi was still in a low mood after waking up, and left Mahuang Lane after a simple thank you.

As soon as he left, Dao Ya, the ghost spirit, poked his head out from the burning pig yard, and waved his little hand towards him.

Jiang Li opened the door and walked into the burning pig yard. Even if Daoya didn't call him, he would still come to eat.

"Brother Jiang, I wanted to come yesterday, but grandpa said I couldn't go because I was too young. He never said that before," Yaya said with her lips curled up.

Jiang Greed bowed and hugged Yaya in his arms. Jiang Greed did many things like this before, but this time Master Dao snatched Yaya from his arms and patted her in disgust. clothes.

"Master Dao, have you misunderstood something?" Jiang Greed was speechless.

"There is no misunderstanding, the scholars of the world are virtuous"

"Yesterday he was drunk, and I didn't know where he lived, so I brought it back."

After repeating the cause and effect again, and reassuring again and again, Master Dao's expression softened.

"I heard you're going to the Goose Lake meeting"

Jiang Li took out some meat from the stove easily, and brought Master Dao's wine. After getting acquainted, Jiang Li regarded this place as his own cafeteria.

"Well, this time I'm going to bring back the No. [-] in the Eight Houses"

"Promise me one thing." Master Dao looked at Jiang Greed very seriously.

"You said, what I can do, I will definitely not refuse"

"In the future, if you can become the master of Wenfu, you will accept Yaya as your apprentice."

"I'm a student from a foreign house and become the master of the palace? What jokes are you always playing!" Jiang Greed didn't take it seriously.

"Just say you agree or not"

Seeing that Jiang Li's hippie smile was out of shape, Master Dao patted the butcher knife in his hand on the case.

"Promise, after eating so much meat and drinking so much wine, of course I have to agree."

The old butcher sighed, and sat down on the steps in a somewhat dejected manner.

"I figured it out. Yaya doesn't have the talent to be a scribe, but she is a talented butcher. If she wants to find a good family in the future, she must have a good background. Although you are poor, you can be regarded as reliable. If you are her backer, you are not afraid of being looked down upon by others."

Everyone else is undergoing special training in the Wenfu, and Jiang Li himself is also waiting. There are so many strong people at the Ehu meeting. If you want to make a blockbuster and achieve something, you must be fully prepared.

Suddenly a wooden bird hovered over Mahuang Lane in the sky, and finally landed slowly in the courtyard.

Jiang Li tsk tsk woke up in the morning, the wooden bird was finely crafted and its body was streamlined, not clumsy at all, especially since there was a hidden compartment behind it.

There was a letter and several bags in the hidden compartment. Jiang Li took out the bag and took a look. He took a handful of the bright golden paint, and the paint was so delicate that it could flow through his fingertips.

This is exactly the paint that Jiang Li entrusted Lu Yufu to make with top-grade colored stones. Top-grade colored stones are rare spiritual objects in the world. They are extremely hard, and it takes time and effort to forge and grind them.

But apart from the colored stones he gave to Lu Yufu, there was also an inkstone with black ink in it.

This inkstone is carved like two tortoises sitting on the waves, the texture is fine, like the skin of a baby, and it has the ability to store water that will not dry up, it will not freeze in the cold, and it will moisturize the water, and the ink inside can smell the smell of ambergris.

"what is this"

Jiang Greed was a little strange, could it be that Lu Yufu put it in by mistake?

After opening that letter, it was written in Lu Yufu's handwriting.

"My grandfather and I have left Lin'an City and returned to the Mo Mansion. Before we left, we lived up to our brother's trust and spent two years developing what was entrusted to us into pigments. Yu has benefited a lot from it, so there is no need to raise the cost.

The inkstone, named Chengni, was made by a skilled craftsman in the Mo House.

Ink is also an extraordinary product, including pine smoke, pearls, jade chips, dragon scales, and musk. It is made with the secret method of the Mo family, breathed into a grind, and it is said that it is a gift for thanking brother's inscription."

Jiang Gu remembered the inscription he had made for the Dragon Snake Seal before, Zhou Mengde said that the craftsman wanted to see him, was it just to give the inkstone and ink?Both of these are rare treasures in the world.

After putting everything in the book tube, the wooden bird flapped its wings and left.

"Say thank you for me!" Jiang Lian shouted.

With these things, he has the confidence to fight, and now all he has to do is to prepare a painting for the Ehu Society that can shock the Eight Houses!

But before that, he still has one thing to do, which is the top-quality Wuyun Liusha note that he got from the robber's lair in Lishan.

In the past two years, he had entrusted Fu Yueming to inquire more than once about who had lost the Wuyun Liusha Note in Qingdu, but he had asked almost everyone who could have been asked for such a long time, and no one admitted.

Jiang Greed thought of Lu Daoxuan, and found him directly after coming to Wenfu.

Since Mr. Lu returned to Wenfu, his biggest hobby is basking in the sun, and sometimes he just sleeps for a whole day.

"Master Lu, I brought back a top-quality Wuyun Liusha note from Lishan. I wanted to find the owner, but after two years of inquiring, there was no news. Do you know his origin?"

Jiang Greed also lay down on the chair next to Lu Daoxuan very casually.

"No one came to claim it?" Lu Daoxuan also felt puzzled, this is the most precious treasure in the eyes of the painter.

"Of course there are people who claim it impersonally, but these people have never even seen this paper, and they can't tell the characteristics at all. I have already dismissed them."

"Then that's strange." Lu Daoxuan pinched his beard.

"Five clouds and quicksand paper, two clouds and three clouds, are quite a lot, but the best five clouds are extremely rare, and only one piece will appear every ten years, which is enough to bear the title of the number one drawing paper in Yuling Continent.

Moreover, almost all of these papers are stored in the Wenfu, and every piece of paper left outside can be traced back to the source. Logically speaking, it should not be difficult to find the owner, unless he himself does not want to admit it."

"Facing such a treasure, why don't you want to admit it?"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Jiang Greed's mind, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Master Lu, the Lishan Treasure Room has collected a lot of calligraphy and paintings circulated in the city of Qing Dynasty, all of which are of good quality.

At that time, I guessed that the robbers in Lishan should have colluded with some big family forces in Qingdu, or that Lishan was directly supported by them secretly. If you think about it in this direction, you should be able to understand.

The Wuyun Liusha note was stored in Lishan's treasury for future use, and they didn't dare to claim it because they were afraid of revealing their identities! "

This was the only reason Jiang Greed could think of, and Lu Daoxuan also agreed.

"Since this is the case, then you can use it with confidence, and I will take care of you if there is any problem in the future."

"it is good"

"What are you going to draw?" Lu Daoxuan asked curiously.

"Since we are going to participate in the Goose Lake meeting, we must draw a good painting." Jiang Tan smiled mysteriously.

"I am assured of your painting skills, but before that, you and I will go to appreciate a painting"
