Chapter 896 – The whereabouts of the master and the story of the painter Ma Gu Baiyue

Faced with Yan Tielong’s questioning, Mrs. Shituqilier said that she was not sure of the authenticity of this information, but there was one thing that could be true of the authenticity of the information.

After speaking, Mrs. Shituqilier took out a portrait and placed it in front of Yan Tielong; when Yan Tielong saw the portrait, he immediately recognized that it was a realistic portrait of his mother, Jinsi Liyixi.

After seeing the portrait, Yan Tielong didn’t think it was Mrs. Shituqilier who had faked it, so he expressed that he wanted to meet the painter who painted this painting, and wanted to ask about his wife.

Mrs. Shituqilier nodded, and she took Yan Tielong to the painter who was detained by them.

Soon Yan Tielong followed Mrs. Shituqilier to the bottom room of Huayue Pavilion to see his target, but the painter was working wholeheartedly with his left hand.

And seeing the painter wholeheartedly paint, Yan Tielong also likes to paint, so he did not step forward to interrupt, but went to the side to ask Mrs. Tuqilier very quietly about the situation of the painter in front of him.

Shi Tuqilier did not immediately answer Yan Tielong’s question. Instead, she took Yan Tielong to another room and told the servant to wait for the painter Ma Gu Baiyue to notify her, and then began to talk about the situation of the Ma Gu Baiyue painter.

It turns out that the painter Ma Gu Baiyue is already 30 years old this year, and he has been painting for 27 years, that is, he started painting at the age of three.

In fact, the Magu Baiyue family was not rich. When he was young, he couldn’t afford painting tools. When he was young, he used branches as pens and painted the earth on paper to draw all kinds of animals, flowers and so on he had seen.

Until Ma Gu Baiyue was twelve years old, as an apprentice in the bakery workshop, he learned realistic painting skills because he distributed food to a one-armed beggar. Of course, he also paid half of the ration. After all, the apprentice in the bakery workshop There is no salary.

In the past four years, after careful teaching by beggar painters, Ma Gu Baiyue’s painting skills have surpassed that of beggar painters, and he can paint for a living.

Later, a businessman who knew how to paint saw Ma Gu Baiyue’s paintings. He told Ma Gu Baiyue’s paintings that they were fine, but they were far from the master painters.

A businessman who knows how to paint expressed his willingness to support money and connections to allow Ma Gu Baiyue to go to a famous painter in a big city to learn skills, but once he succeeds in his studies, he must work for the businessman for ten years.

At that time, the beggar painter who lived with Ma Gu Baiyue encouraged Ma Gu Baiyue to go to the big city and said that he could no longer teach Magu Baiyue.

Encouraged by the beggar mentor, Ma Gu Baiyue agreed to the merchant’s proposal, so they came to the Kingdom of Zhan Desi.

Seeing the prosperity of the Kingdom of Zhan Desi, Ma Gu Baiyue is looking forward to the famous painters arranged for him by the merchants who know how to paint.

A businessman who knows how to paint really invested his money. He spent a lot of money to let Ma Gu Baiyue worship the famous painter of Xigu Yujimai as his teacher; you must know that a painting by the famous Xigu Yujimai painter is worth thousands of gold coins, and it is valuable No city.

Ma Gu Baiyue had seen Xi Gu Yu Ji Mai’s painting skills, and he knew how far he was proud of his painting skills from the famous painters, so he studied Xi Gu Yu Ji Mai’s painting skills very seriously.

In the past five years, Ma Gu Baiyue’s painting skills have not lost to his tutor Xigu Yu Jimai’s painting skills, but the painting style of Ma Gu Baiyue is too heavy to be recognized by Xigu Yu Jimai.

Ma Gu Baiyue, who had not been a teacher, was previously funded by a painter to request to fulfill the treaty. After all, the merchant who knew how to paint had already recognized Ma Gu Baiyue’s painting skills, and the reason why he did not go to the teacher put the responsibility on Xigu Yu Jimai.

There is no way for Magu Baiyue to explain the reason and say goodbye to the instructor; however, Xigu Yu Jimai warns Magu Baiyue not to sell paintings in his style, so as not to tarnish his reputation.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

At that time, Ma Gu Baiyue also assured his tutor that he would not imitate his tutor’s paintings for sale, and expressed his ambition to create paintings of his own style.

However, the ideal is full of reality when it is very bad. In order to avoid imitating the style of the tutor, Ma Gu Baiyue gave up the strengths of his painting skills. As a result, his paintings can be sold, but the price is very low.

The merchant who understands painting believes that Ma Gu Baiyue has possessions, so every time he sells a painting belonging to Ma Gu Baiyue he only pays 10% of the original promised reward; this also makes Ma Gu Baiyue a bit miserable, far inferior to his in the West. The period of Guyu Jimai’s tutor.

After all, while studying at Xigu Yujimai, Xigu Yujimai instructed Magu Baiyue to sell many imitated paintings as genuine products, and Magu Baiyue also got 10% income.

In order to understand the painter’s painting for three years, Ma Gu Baiyue has not increased his income, but his painting skills have improved a lot, but there is still a lot of gap with the style of teacher Xigu Yujimai.

At that time, he also got a love affair, and Ma Gu Baiyue’s love affair was a 19-year-old girl Mai De Xuexue who made a living on laundry, cloth and bed sheets; Ma Gu Baiyue agreed to Mai De Xuexue as long as he earns three hundred gold coins. Mai De Xuexue’s father proposes marriage.

However, it was unpredictable. A few months later, Mai De Xuexue’s father owed a debt because of gambling, so Mai De Xuexue found Ma Gu Baiyue, hoping that he could buy her and her sister.

Ma Gu Baiyue was not as rich as Mai Dexuexue imagined. He couldn’t even come up with three gold coins. How could he come up with fifty gold coins to save his lover.

On the same day, the merchant who knew how to paint got a painting made by Xigu Yujimai. In order to ensure the authenticity of the painting, the merchant who knew how to paint let Ma Gu Baiyue see it. After all, Magu Baiyue also obtained the true biography of Xigu Yujimai’s painting skills.

When Ma Gu Baiyue saw the painting brought by the merchant who knew how to paint, he immediately recognized that it was not the real master, but the counterfeit he imitated. However, this counterfeit was sold by the master’s family, so it can also be regarded as genuine.

After listening to Ma Gu Baiyue’s description of the truth and some internal information of the painting, the merchants who knew the painting were bright, and proposed to let Ma Gu Baiyue imitate the painting in the style of Xiguyu Jimai, which he bought at half the market price.

Ma Gu Baiyue remembered that he had vowed not to paint or sell paintings in the style of the mentor, so he refused the request of the merchant who knew how to paint.

The painting merchants were very annoyed by the stubbornness of Ma Gu Baiyue and deducted the wages of three paintings.

A few days later, Mai De Xuexue found Ma Gu Baiyue at one time, and she told Ma Gu Baiyue that she must raise sixty gold coins within three days, otherwise they would not be able to meet.

Hearing that sixty gold coins had been collected in three days, Ma Gu Baiyue had no choice, so he went to the home of Xi Gu Yu Jimai and begged to borrow sixty gold coins.

However, Ma Gu Baiyue did not expect that not only did his mentor not see him, but also asked his servant to beat him out.

Thinking of the lover’s pleading eyes and the unfeeling of the teacher and the free temptation of the businessman who knows how to paint, Ma Gu Baiyue agreed to the businessman who knows how to paint to imitate Xigu Yujimai’s paintings to obtain one hundred gold coins and freedom.

And the painting merchant obtained ten sets of fake Xi Gu Yu Ji Mai, which he sold directly at a high price, which also attracted Xi Gu Yu Ji Mai’s attention.

From the merchant who understood painting, he learned that it was Ma Gu Baiyue’s painting. Xigu Yujimai believed that Ma Gu Baiyue had violated his oath, so he spent a lot of money to send people to directly smash the Ma Gu Baiyue’s house, and broke the bone of Ma Gu Baiyue’s right hand.

Ma Gu Baiyue was forced to undergo treatment with his right hand, but he could no longer hold a pen to paint with his right hand, which also caused him to collapse. After all, he thought he had lost the value of survival at the time.

Mai De Xuexue, the wife of Baiyue Magu, learned that her husband was interrupted by her right palm because of her and her sister. She carried the family expenses alone and kept encouraging her husband to regain strength.

Ma Gu Baiyue, who thinks he has become a waste, ignores his wife’s encouragement at all, and lives a life of drunkenness and dreams every day.

It was not until a few months later that Ma Gu Baiyue’s beggar teacher arrived. When the beggar teacher heard what happened, he told Ma Gu Baiyue that he used to be on the left side, but because he offended some people, his entire left arm was chopped off and his family was destroyed. However, he did not give up on living, and supported himself by painting with his right hand, and encouraged Ma Gu Baiyue to regain strength.

The beggar tutor saw that his encouragement was not effective, so he stayed to paint and paste the home for passers-by, so that the disciple’s family can tide over the difficulties, and at the same time, he hoped to ignite his disciple’s enthusiasm for painting.

The beggar tutor kept on guiding, and Ma Gu Baiyue got up and started to learn painting from the beggar tutor again. At the beginning, Ma Gu Baiyue painting was very bad. After all, he was very unaccustomed to his left hand, but fortunately, the beggar tutor was very experienced in teaching any methods and techniques to improve one-handed painting.

After three years of continuous tempering, Ma Gu Baiyue’s left-hand painting skills have surpassed the beggar teacher once, and he has actually mastered his unique style.

However, under the influence of Ma Gu Baiyue’s previous counterfeit incident, no rich man or merchant would buy his paintings. Even his paintings were sold at very low prices, and some were even given as gifts.

After listening to Aunt Shituqilier’s introduction to Ma Gu Baiyue, he couldn’t help expressing that if Ma Gu Baiyue’s deeds were inspiring.

Yan Tielong just finished with emotion, and the servant reported to Shituqilier that Ma Gu Baiyue painter had finished.

Once Yan Tielong came to the Magu Baiyue room, they saw a lifelike beauty picture, so Yan Tielong couldn’t help but said that he wanted to buy the lifelike beauty picture before him.

However, Shituqilier said that the beauty picture was painted by Ma Gu Baiyue, and she also liked it very much, so she would not cede.
