Reborn as a great painter, with a system, you can be willful

Chapter 84, Catching up, shopping, and partying (seeking follow-up reading)
After Jiang Zhe ended his call with Teacher Yin, he felt emotional.

In his previous life, the price of Mr. Yin's paintings was always low, and he changed his research direction in his later years. It is rare for him to become well-known in the circle through hard work without any external help.

Therefore, he admires Teacher Yin very much.

Although the sale of the paintings this time did not prove anything, it still gave him the motivation to catch up with his goal.

After the walk, on his way home, he unexpectedly received a call from his squad leader.

"Jiang Zhe, I heard that you participated in an art exhibition and sold a painting?"

Jiang Zhe was used to being asked this question: "You know this too?"

"What do you mean by this? Among the many professional teachers our school has invited, how many can sell their paintings? Not to mention the students. Congratulations!"

Jiang Zhe heard a hint of sourness in the squad leader's words.

He has gradually gotten used to selling paintings and subconsciously ignored his identity as a student.

No matter what the squad leader thought, Jiang Zhe still expressed his gratitude when he called to congratulate him.

"Jiang Zhe, there is one more thing. Many students in our class want to find time to get together. Do you want to join us?"

Jiang Zhe said, "The results will be released on July 7. Isn't it too early to have a dinner now?"

The monitor said, "If we wait until the results are out, if someone does not do well in the exam and plans to repeat the year, they will definitely not want to participate. In August, many students may not stay in Binhai, so it will be even more difficult to get together again. Teacher Yu will also participate."

Nowadays, graduation banquets are not popular among students. Classmates get together once, which is considered a farewell dinner.

In his previous life, Jiang Zhe did not do well in the exam and did not participate. This time... he thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll participate."

"I'll let you know once we've decided on a time and place."

"Thank you monitor."

Jiang Zhe didn't care about selling the paintings. After all, for him, this sale was a price reduction.

On the other side, the monitor put down the phone, feeling a bitter taste in her heart. She had already planned for her future development, and reason told her that she should not show jealousy at this time, but should try her best to build good relationships with promising classmates. However, she watched her classmates who were not as good as her quietly surpass her and many teachers.

She could never suppress her true feelings.

"How is it, is it decided?" a girl asked.

The monitor returned to his seat: "Jiang Zhe will attend."

Today is a small circle gathering of four girls from Class 9, and the location is in a small restaurant in a classmate's home.

The thin Wu Jingzhu asked, "Is the painting sale true?"

Zhou Rong, who organized the party, said, "Of course it's true. I heard it from Director Lin. You guys don't want to believe it."

The squad leader has adjusted his mentality: "I just asked, it is indeed true."

“I heard it was sold for 3000 yuan, but I guess I won’t get even half of that,” Zhou Rong analyzed.

"That's a lot. I don't know how much living expenses my parents can give me." Wu Jingzhu sighed enviously.

Another girl said: "My parents gave me 2,000 yuan for living expenses."

Zhou Rong was surprised: "You applied to a school in the capital, 2,000 yuan a month, is it enough?"

"I don't know. Think about it, one of their paintings is more than my monthly living expenses." said the girl.

"Now I know why Xiao Yufeng likes Jiang Zhe." Zhou Rong said.

The other three girls asked what was going on.

"Haven't you noticed that Xiao Yufeng always targets Jiang Zhe?" Zhou Rong shared some of her findings.

Since Xiao Yufeng came to the class, his relationship with some girls has been very subtle, and there are no secrets between girls.

Several girls started gossiping: "She does have good taste, but Jiang Zhe doesn't like her at all."

"Jiang Zhe has a girlfriend outside of school. I saw it."

"Do you think Xiao Yufeng will attend the party?"

"If they all come, do you think it will be lively?" "It must be lively."

……

Jiang Zhe immediately put the party behind him, finished his study for the day, and watched TV with his parents.

The next morning, he ran to the largest bookstore in Binhai to buy calligraphy copybooks.

The systematic seal carving and calligraphy skills provide a path to improve learning accumulation.

The ink version of Zhiyong's "Thousand Characters in True and Cursive Script"; Ouyang Xun's "Thousand Characters in Running Script"...

He picked out more than a dozen calligraphy books and then went to choose tools.

The second floor of the bookstore is dedicated to selling various stationery, including traditional calligraphy and painting tools.

Jiang Zhe first chose a brush. At that time, nylon had already appeared in the brush materials, and the price of a brush without nylon and well-made was relatively expensive.

Since he started selling paintings, he has always been willing to spend money on tools. He selected a dozen brushes of different sizes and then went to choose ink.

Calligraphy and seal carving skills, including how to select and use ink.

The ink given by Teacher Miao is already very precious in today's market, and Jiang Zhe is reluctant to consume it in his practice.

He repeatedly selected at the counter that specializes in selling Hui ink and found that many Hui inks on the market now come from private ink factories, among which there are very good products and some are just shoddy products.

Relying on his existing skills and knowledge, Jiang Zhe purchased an ingot of pine soot ink and an ingot of lampblack ink.

Next, choose paper.

Before, he only knew that there were different types of rice paper: raw, cooked, and semi-cooked. After acquiring calligraphy and seal carving skills, he realized that there were many carriers available for calligraphy.

Commonly used paper is divided into several categories, including bark paper, bamboo paper, hemp paper, etc. The most well-known Xuan paper belongs to bark paper.

At present, the most expensive Xuan paper is the sandalwood Xuan paper of the two brands Hongxing and Wangliuji.

Jiang Zhe bought a few sheets of all the papers he was interested in, hoping to find the one that suits his needs.

He returned to the studio and began to copy and learn from small regular script.

The system saved him the effort of getting started, but further efforts would be required to improve his realm.

When Jiang Zhe got tired of copying calligraphy, he would paint watercolors. They alternated between the two and the day passed quickly.

Before going to bed, he checked the system and found that today's learning accumulation once again exceeded the average of previous days.

The learning accumulation in the past two days has made up for the previous gap.

After two days of practice, Jiang Zhe found that as long as he could ensure the quality of learning within a certain period of time, he did not need to arrange too much study time and could free up time to enrich his life.

Two days later, Jiang Zhe received a call from the squad leader.

"Jiang Zhe, we're going to meet at Yiyi BBQ near the school. There's a big place there, and we can have an open-air barbecue. The time is tomorrow at noon, can you come?"

Jiang Zhe said, "Very good, you can go."

The squad leader continued, "Let's arrange a barbecue, beer, and drinks. We'll split the bill. What do you think?"

Jiang Zhe said: "Sure, no problem for me."

……

The next morning, Jiang Zhe arranged his study time and content in advance and tried his best to complete his daily accumulation.

As the party time approached, I left home and walked to the barbecue restaurant.

He saw from afar that several large tables were set up under the awning outside the barbecue restaurant. More than a dozen classmates had already arrived early and were chatting.
