Chapter 523: The Little Butler of the Morgan Family
Favors are the most difficult to return, and friendship is the most rare.
Since Yuki Sadachi asked someone to send the lacquer box, John naturally couldn't just go to the warehouse to choose an item as a return gift, love and righteousness have nothing to do with money, but with one heart, so John decided to paint a picture for Yuki Sadamichi himself.
As soon as Tang Muzhen liked ink painting, John decided to paint a splash of ink landscape and give it to him.
John can not only paint Western-style oil paintings, but also Chinese ink paintings, but ink paintings are not as good as oil paintings, museums can't enter, and it is still possible to give them away, and he has more than ten years of skills.
Lay the rice paper, first soak the rice paper with water, then lift the pen and splash the ink, the black ink slowly spreads with the water, the three peaks gradually emerge on the paper, wait until the ink dry changes stop, and then carefully outline a few strokes, add some trees, a splash of ink landscape painting is completed.
The mountains are continuous, the clouds are shrouded in mist, and the three peaks are slightly emerging, like a fairyland.
In this painting, John uses a minimalist way to paint mountains, and only paints the peaks, leaving a large area of blank space, resulting in visual formal beauty, but also leaving the viewer unlimited space for thought. The clouds are shrouded in mist, and only the top of the mountain is faintly emerging, and what is the scene in the mountains covered by the clouds and mist? Are there shepherd boys, are there people's homes, are there cooking smoke?
After the painting was finished, John changed his pen and mentioned a poem on the upper right: Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog, the night comes, and the morning goes. How long has it been like a spring dream?
Then the payment was stamped with a seal, and a splashed ink "Cloud Mountain Map" was completed.
John's stamps on oil paintings and ink paintings are different, oil paintings are mainly under paint, and ink paintings are all on the blank space of rice paper, but the seals are the same, given to him by the Chinese teacher who taught him painting.
John still remembered that his teacher wanted to send him a seal as a souvenir before returning to China, so he asked John to give himself a stage name, John remembered his hometown in his previous life, there was a plum blossom at the door, and the mountains were in the distance, so he gave himself a stage name of "Meiling Jushi", but his teacher slapped him on the head, and came to the sentence: What is the residence, it is good to be an idler.
Then his teacher took a side of Tian Huang and asked his friend Chen Ju, a master of seal carving, to engrave this private seal for him.
In this way, John changed from a "Meiling layman" to a "Meiling idler".
However, John now thinks that "idlers" are better than "laymen", and it would be a blessing if he could be an idler who does not ask about the world.
…………
The next day, the genius was slightly bright, and the Purple Star Manor was a busy scene, Zozo Anya was arranging for the servants to clean the manor, the chef Kunio Tokuoka was making breakfast, KA was running in the morning, Devon Morgan was on the phone, Dani who returned last night was directing the gardener to prune the flowers and plants in the manor, John was watching her from the balcony, all this in front of him made John feel that the manor was full of life.
"Brother JK, I'm here!"
A sudden voice shattered the peaceful atmosphere of the manor, and John followed the sound to see Ariana waving to him downstairs.
"Why did you come to my house early in the morning?" John raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was only 6 o'clock, how could anyone visit the door early in the morning?
Ariana didn't reply, for she had already run into the house on two long legs, and she couldn't hear John say anything for a long time.
After a while, Ariana pushed open the bedroom door and came to John, panting and looking at John.
"Why did you come to my house early in the morning?"
"I'm looking for you!"
"What are you looking for me?"
John was wary.
"I graduated, I'm looking for a job, and my teacher said that my first job is very important, so I decided to be your assistant!" Ariana looked at John very, very seriously, with her little fists clenched.
"It's not...... You have so many companies, why do you want to come to me, you can be an assistant to Charles, and I already have an assistant!" John didn't dare to ask Ariana, so he accepted her and guaranteed that the Purple Star Manor would fly and jump.
"My company's company is very boring! Every day when I go to the company, they call Miss Miss and don't let me work, and Charles always murders me, I don't want to be by his side!" Ariana held John's hand and looked at John pitifully, she graduated last week, and then went to work in the Rockefeller's company, but as the second lady of the Rockefeller family, who in the company dared to call her! She also had to kowtow three times in the morning and dusk, and make an offering of incense in the morning and evening.
As for Charles, he dared to call it, but he kept a straight face all day long, and he taught Ariana a lesson at every turn. It's no wonder that Ariana likes to be with him!
"You can go to your brother-in-law, Auston, they have a lot of companies!" Peggy Rockefeller, the eldest lady of the Rockefeller family, married Auston Mellon, the heir to the Mellon family, last year.
"No, he's stupid, I don't like it anymore!" Ariana shook her head, she didn't want to go to the Mellon family.
John clutched his head, feeling a headache. "Or you go to Amazon for an internship, which is also your company, and they don't know you!"
"Don't, you can't learn anything by following them, it's better to follow you! Ariana can pour you water when you're thirsty, and Ariana can beat you on ......the back when you're tired!" Ariana relied on John, looking like John would not give up if he didn't agree.
"Okay, but don't make my house a mess!"
In the end, John had no choice but to nod and agree, because Ariana is not the kind of person who will give up, and will definitely pester until John agrees, and since sooner or later he has to agree, John will give up resisting, because there is no point.
And besides, Ariana may get tired of playing for two days, and she will take the initiative to leave when the time comes.
"yes, that's great, I'm the little butler of the Morgan family from this day forward!" Ariana waved her little fist and ran out of the bedroom, going to the manor to declare her rights.
John looked at Ariana's back and felt that the days ahead were dark!
As for whether Ariana is a spy sent by the Rockefeller family, John is not worried, the Rockefeller family will not use such low-level means to deal with the Morgan family, and although the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family are two camps, they are not enemies, and the two families do not have much conflict of interest on their own side, and they are still allies at the national level.
As for whether some of John's secrets will be known by Ariana? John is even less worried, he has no secrets that cannot be seen, and all his methods are used in a conspiracy, and he is not afraid of being known by the Rockefellers. As for the secrets of the family, the top Ariana can't touch it, and the average John is not afraid to let her know, and the Morgan family, the general secret of the Rockefeller family, also knows a lot, everyone has existed for more than a hundred years, can they not understand each other?
