Royal Master Painter

Chapter 67

While the two were chatting, bursts of singing came from their ears. Two boats floated by on the water, and one of them stood naked on the boat and sang loudly. Shi Jilun felt a little embarrassed.

"Is this the Gaozu Shizi period?" Zhao Guizhen asked.

"Let Brother Zhao laugh at you"

"Who in Yunzhou doesn't envy you for having a good son, and who doesn't know that Shi Ziqi is a famous scholar in the literary family, with outstanding talents regardless of etiquette, and has a high reputation in the literary world of Qingdu, he is a leader of the younger generation what"

"Although this kid is very talented, he only knows how to mess around, which is much worse than being casual." Although there was humility in his words, there was also pride in his tone.

"Ziqi is my Yunzhou celebrity, whoever dares to touch you in Qingdu will become the common enemy of all scholars in Qingdu"

Zhao Guizhen patted Shi Jilun on the shoulder, and they vaguely saw that there was another person on the boat, but they didn't expect that this person was Jiang Lian they were looking for!

When leaving Azusa Garden, Jiang Li was still feeling emotional. He had only heard of the absurd and informal behavior of scribes in Qingdu before, but today he learned a solid lesson.

Sure enough, people who are truly unfettered even feel that their pants are redundant.

I haven't come back to Mahuang Lane for a few days, the yard is covered with dust everywhere, and the little paper figurines have started cleaning vigorously again.

Jiang Li was practicing painting by himself, the door was pushed open and a head poked in, it was Dao Ya!
"Yaya? Why are you here?"

Thinking of his ferocious grandfather, Jiang Li had no choice but to be polite to Dao Ya.

"Brother Jiang, when you're not here, people come here to look for you every day."

"Looking for me? Are they the two people who came to my house before?"

Not many people know that he lives here, and Fu Yueming knows that it is impossible for him to come to Mahuang Lane in Zize Garden, so there are only Yue Wuling, Liu and these two people.

As for what happened, Jiang Greed didn't know, but since he came every day, he would know as soon as he saw it tomorrow.

Seeing Jiang Li painting, Daoya came to the table. Because she was not tall enough, she hung on the table with two arms.

"This is the mountain..."

"There is still a river"

“There are fish in the river”

Jiang Li touched Daoya's head. This little girl would be really cute if she didn't lift the knife, and Daoya didn't resist Jiang Lian's actions.

"Fish? Can it be killed?"

Hearing this painting, Jiang Li's face is a little tense. How did this old butcher teach his granddaughter? Such a cute girl can't do without her profession. She will probably be even tougher when she grows up. I can't guarantee that Godzilla will see you You have to call sister-in-law.

"Yaya, you are a little girl, you can't see anything and want to stab with a knife, it's not good"

Yaya scratched her head.

"so what should I do now"

"How about I teach you how to draw?"

This little girl seemed to like it very much, and she had reached the age of learning, so there was nothing wrong with her. Jiang Greed simply started teaching Daoya how to paint.

"Holding the pen should be like this. All five fingers must be used. Press, press, hook, push, and push, so that the pen can be held firmly. When writing, there are wrists that are raised, rested on the wrist, and hung on the wrist."

Jiang Lu started to teach from the most basic brush holding and posture, and demonstrated them one by one.

Dao Ya was still learning to be decent at the side, but soon scratched her head and lay down on the desk for a while, and lay down on the chair for a while.

Seeing that his granddaughter had come to Jiang Li's house for a long time, the old butcher also came to see him. Seeing Dao Ya holding a brush and scribbling on the paper, he showed a rare smile.

It's just that this old face is scary when it's not smiling, and it's even scarier when it smiles.

"Grandpa, grandpa, look at my painting, the old turtle is you, and the little turtle is me"

"That's great, it's very similar. It seems that my family has the talent to be a painter."

Although the old butcher was a little embarrassed, he was still very satisfied with his granddaughter's painting, but Jiang Li didn't see anything good when he looked at the pitch-black mess inside and out.

Knowing what Dao Ya was doing, the old butcher also left Jiang Li's house.

In one afternoon, no matter what, Dao Ya finally drew a picture.

Jiang Greed looked at the painting and nodded. As expected of a little girl who carried a knife from a young age, the painting she made was worthy of his old butcher's grandfather.

There was a small circle on the eye socket, and a big circle on the cheek. Seeing that the little girl was still licking the brush, Jiang Lu pulled it out.

In order to protect Daoya's young heart, Jiang Li didn't tell her that she would put some horse urine when making paint and ink!
It was getting late, and the old butcher brought Jiang Li a bowl of meat when he picked up Dao Ya and went back.

"The old man doesn't look so bad."

Jiang Greed tasted it, and the old butcher who opened a roast pig yard really has nothing to say about his craftsmanship.

Jiang Li's guess was right, and Yue Wuling and He rushed to the door early the next morning.

"Painter Jiang, I have been here for seven days and finally found you," Yue Wuling said anxiously.

"Is there something wrong with the shopkeeper?"

"I want to ask you to do me a favor, the price is up to you"

Seeing Yue Wuling's expression, Jiang Greed realized that something might be wrong.

"Let's talk about what's going on, big shopkeeper. If I can help, I will do my best."

"Speaking of it, it has something to do with your Mahuang Lane. There is a branch of Lingyue Mountain called Musu Mountain. This mountain is rich in a kind of yellow stone. Many people in Mahuang Lane are quarrying stones in Musu Mountain."

"You want me to go to Clover Mountain?"

"To be honest, I was in the restaurant business in Qingdu City, and I also have some status in Qingdu. In this sacred place in the hearts of scribes, the only business with the most status and huge profits is the business of cultural relics.

But in the entire Qing Dynasty, from paints to pens, inks, papers and inkstones, all the treasure business was monopolized by Tongbao Pavilion.

I also wanted to get a share, so I spent a lot of money to buy some Chengxin Paper from Xihe, and the people who attacked on the way were the people in Tongbao Pavilion, and Qian Hong suppressed those papers, which are still in the warehouse.

It is even more difficult to obtain pigments from the outside world. There are yellowstones in Mushu Mountain, so I sent a team of 30 people into the mountains. After exploring the mountains for more than a month, I finally found a middle-grade yellowstone.

The trouble is that there is a giant ape near the middle-grade Yellowstone, and the people from my chamber of commerce are guarding near the Yellowstone, so I would like to ask for your help. "

"The shopkeeper is considered a man of the day in Qingdu. Could it be that he can't find someone who can deal with the giant ape? Liu Gongfeng should be able to do it," Jiang Greed asked.

"Tongbao Pavilion has all hands and eyes in Qingdu, especially Qian Hong who has been eyeing people from my chamber of commerce recently. If they make a move, it will definitely attract the attention of Tongbao Pavilion. The loss outweighs the gain, so we can only find some strangers."

Jiang Greed didn't want to participate at first, but when he heard that paint was involved, the meaning changed.

He currently has a piece of priceless ultramarine blue and a piece of sky-high sweat red in the book tube. If he can collect Huangshi again, he will not be far away from realizing the freedom of pigments.

"Where is the exact location in Clifford Mountain"

"Forty miles to the north of the mountain, beside the mirror water, we should leave now without delay," Huang Wuling said urgently.

"Row"

Jiang Tan took the book tube and followed Huang Wuling. When he left the yard, Jiang Tan remembered something and stopped in his tracks.

"Boss, please wait for me first"

After talking, Jiang Li turned around and went to the roast pig yard opposite, where the old butcher was sharpening his knife as usual.

"Brother Jiang Greed, you are here!" Dao Ya came to Jiang Greed's side bouncing around.

"Brother is going out for a trip today, don't forget I taught you how to draw, brother will check when he comes back"

"Enen" Daoya nodded very obediently.
