King of soft rice

Chapter 145 – Draw a Moon

Those present immediately began to write and paint, and all of them are famous calligraphers and painters in the world.A piece of calligraphy and painting is sent to the auction house, and the price starts from one million.

And today is Xu's birthday, everyone painted on the spot, and after decades, it will become a good story.It is estimated that by then, the price of today's painting and calligraphy works will double again.

Zhai Nan obtained the skills of a calligraphy and painting master, but compared with several others, his level must be far behind.What's more, there are no young people who can be friends with Mr. Xu. They are all seniors who have studied calligraphy and painting for decades. The paintings are definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

But just now because Zhai Nan didn't bring a birthday gift, Mr. Xu's whole family was slapped in the face. Zhai Nan felt uncomfortable, and always wanted to get back this face for Mr. Xu.

It's just that the skill level of Zhai Nan, a master of traditional Chinese painting, is definitely incomparable with these old seniors.Even if I went up and drew a picture, it would be embarrassing.

However, Master Zhai Nan's traditional Chinese painting skills are not enough, but he can use the possessed puppets to make up for it!

Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi, the masters of Chinese painting in Zhai Nan's previous life, no matter whose level they are, are all higher than this old Lei.

The only problem is that all the painters are seniors in the calligraphy and painting circles. In terms of seniority, Zhai Nan is not qualified to paint.

When Zhai Nan was thinking about this matter, Mr. Lei suddenly said to Mr. Xu: "Brother Xu, I have a young apprentice who just came back from abroad and learned foreign oil painting techniques for a few years. I just returned to China the day before yesterday. I didn't prepare any birthday gifts for you, so I asked him to draw a picture for you on the spot, do you think it's okay?"

Elder Xu's eyes lit up immediately, and he said hastily: "Okay, why can't this work. Come on, set up another table, and ask the juniors to draw two pictures for my old man."

As soon as Mr. Xu said this, the other master's disciples couldn't bear it anymore.

The table of the older generation here, and the table of the younger generation over there, all began to move their paintbrushes.

Seeing this, Zhai Nan almost went straight up and kissed Mr. Lei.

Zhai Nan was worrying about how to go up, so he drew a picture for Mr. Xu, and by chance, Mr. Lei asked his disciple to come up.

Di Nan's restless heart couldn't bear it any longer, so he immediately stepped forward and said to Mr. Xu: "Master, I also learned traditional Chinese painting when I was young. How about I draw a picture for you? It's your birthday gift, do you think it's okay?"

Elder Xu looked at Zhai Nan worriedly. Although Elder Lei said that his disciples were junior apprentices, this was also relative.Compared with the group of seniors, those in their 40s and [-]s are all little kids.

Mr. Lei said he was a young apprentice, but in fact, this guy is in his 40s, and he is almost ready to be Zhai Nan's father.However, Zhai Nan is of a high seniority, so it stands to reason that he can hang out with them at the same table.

But at Zhai Nan's level, Mr. Xu really doesn't know.If Zhai Nanzhen draws well, it can be regarded as a face to Mr. Xu.But in case Zhai Nan's painting is not good, it will be a big shame.

Mr. Xu hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can you do it? If you can't, don't be brave! The painters here are all top-notch in China. Even the little kids over there are all young painters representing modern Chinese painting. Characters. If you had studied it for two years when you were a child, then you shouldn’t go up and gesticulate.”

Zhai Nan grinned and said, "Master, why do you look down on your apprentice like this?"

Elder Xu was taken aback, "Have you really learned it?"

Zhai Nan laughed and said, "Does the children's palace count?"

Elder Xu waved his hand, "Get lost and play."

Zhai Nan said quickly: "Don't, I'm serious, I promise I won't embarrass you all the time, okay?"

When Mr. Lei saw this, he smiled and said, "Xiao Nan has his own mind, don't care if it's good or not, as long as he has his mind, it will be done."

This old man Lei also felt that Zhai Nan's painting might not be very good, even if he painted well, he might not be able to compare with this group of juniors.On the junior side, at least they have been studying for more than ten years, and they are definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

But looking at Zhai Nan's enthusiasm, he probably has two brushes.At that time, Mr. Lei and the others will help to brag a few more words, even if Zhai Nan's paintings are so-so, no one dares to directly pick faults.

Elder Xu glanced at Elder Lei, knowing that with his old friend following him, nothing serious would happen, so he said to Zhai Nan: "Okay, then go and paint."

Zhai Nan then smiled and said: "Then you can just watch it." After speaking, Zhai Nan moved to the table of the younger generation.

Here it is said to be a table, but it is a big table made up of five or six tables, enough for seven or eight people to paint together.

Zhai Nan picked an open space and squeezed directly onto it.

When everyone saw Zhai Nan coming, they were also interested.Those who dare to paint at this time, without real skills, are no different from courting death.

In the past, there were Lei Lao and other jewels of the older generation first, and then there were outstanding figures from the younger generation.Zhai Nan stops here, he is a layman!

The people present, whether they wanted to watch the excitement, were worried, or were planning to cause trouble, immediately joined together.

Zhai Nan's second senior brother also learned to paint, but he never dared to make a move, because he knew his own level, and he would definitely not be able to compare with those of the Qun Calligraphy and Painting Association.

But now watching Zhai Nan make a move, he thought that Zhai Nan was young and vigorous, and wanted to regain the position he lost just now.He was also worried in his heart, so he leaned over and asked: "Little brother, can you do it?"

Zhai Nan replied: "Second Senior Brother, don't worry. I can't paint well, but can I still paint it? If it doesn't work, I'll paint everything black and leave some white spots."

The second senior brother was taken aback for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Zhai Nan said with a smile: "I just said I painted a moon."

The second senior brother was also laughed angrily when he heard the words, "You brat, don't mess around!"

Zhai Nan also smiled, and was joking with you, "I'm sure I won't mess around, come on, don't be idle, help me get rid of this ink."

The second senior brother sighed helplessly, but his hands were not idle, and he began to help Zhai Nan adjust the ink.

Zhai Nan spread out the drawing paper, picked up the brush, took a deep breath, quietly took out the possessed puppet, and began to think about it.

Among Qi Baishi's paintings, the most famous one is Fish, Shrimp, Flowers and Birds.Xu Beihong is most famous for his horses.Among Zhang Daqian's paintings, the most famous ones are landscape paintings.

These three masters are Zhai Nan's previous life, world-renowned painting masters, no matter which one is possessed, he can sweep away everyone present.

Now Zhai Nan is most worried, who should he choose?
Just when Zhai Nan was feeling worried, the second senior brother gave him a nudge and asked, "What are you thinking? You are painting!"

Zhai Nan glanced at the second senior brother, and asked in a low voice, "What painting do you like the most, master?"

The second senior brother thought for a while and said, "Shanshui. Master traveled to many places with the theater troupe in the early years. Now that he is old, he can't go to those famous mountains and rivers, so the landscape painting is his favorite these years."

Zhai Nan nodded slightly, now that he finally had a sense in his mind, he took the possessed puppet and stretched Daqian's upper body directly.

Zhang Daqian combines work and writing, and is best at splashing ink and color.The masterpiece "Taoyuan Picture" in his later years even fetched a sky-high price of nearly [-] million yuan, and it was this "Peach Garden Picture" that Zhai Nan wanted to paint.

The second senior brother next to him was also taken aback when he saw Zhai Nan's bold brushwork and thick ink, and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you really planning to draw a moon?"
