July is the hottest time, and most people don't go out on such a hot day. However, it was close to noon that the house welcomed a guest.

Mr. Yushan drank too much at a friend's house yesterday and rested at a friend's house. It wasn't until near noon that I got home that I saw Yueyao's letter, and when I saw that Yueyao said that she had drawn a good picture, she immediately rushed over. He wanted to see what the painting that could make Yueyao say that he had drawn well.

As soon as Mr. Yushan entered the studio, he saw the "South Street Market Map", which occupied half of the room. Mr. Yushan walked straight to the picture, looked at it seriously, and looked at it for more than half an hour before turning his head and asking, "Is this the painting you painted?" ”

After Yueyao waited for Mr. Yushan to finish reading it, she asked, "Sir, please correct the inappropriateness of this painting." ”

Mr. Yushan looked at Yue Yao and said with a smile: "You don't need my guidance, you already have your own style, okay, very good." "Yueyao belongs to his own painting style, and it is also a unique painting style, there is nothing more pleasing to him.

Yue Yao asked nervously, "What does the teacher mean, am I already a great painter?" Yueyao called Mr. Yushan as a teacher after serving tea that time, and Mr. Yushan did not refuse, which was a kind of acquiescence, and he has been calling Mr. Yushan as a teacher since then.

Mr. Yushan smiled and said to Yue Yao, "Do you know why I confiscated you as an apprentice at that time? "It's hard to say at the time, but now it's not a taboo. Yueyao's painting style has been formed, and she will no longer be influenced by others.

Yueyao shook her head: "Please also ask Mr. to solve your doubts." Yueyao was actually very strange in her heart, if Mr. Yushan didn't have the mind to accept her as an apprentice, why did he teach her carefully.

Mr. Tamayama recounted his initial concerns.

Yueyao's wide mouth could stuff a salted duck egg, and it took a long time for Yueyao to regain her senses and say, "Teacher, are you ......" This is too high to look at her!

Mr. Yushan said excitedly: "Yueyao, your paintings are real, natural and touching in terms of subject matter, concept and technical expression, especially this painting, your painting is very full of life, and it is easy to resonate with people." Yueyao, your progress is even better than I expected. Yueyao, you have started now, and you will continue to work hard in the future, Yueyao, you will go further and further in the future. ”

Mr. Yushan was very excited, and this joy lost his mind, and he talked a lot to Yueyao. It means that Yueyao's current painting style is innovative, and he also hopes that Yueyao will take the responsibility of painting innovation, and then encourage more people to take the path of innovation.

Yue Yao's words to Mr. Yushan were so frightened that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Xiang Wei spoke beside him, "Mr. Yushan, you still let the girl paint according to her heart, and it is not good to pull out the seedlings to help them grow." Xiang Wei felt that Yueyao couldn't live up to Mr. Yushan's expectations at all. Because the responsibility for this matter is too heavy, so heavy that Yueyao can't afford it. Xiang Wei knew that Yueyao had this ability, but she didn't have the courage.

Mr. Yushan also recovered his senses from the surprise, and smiled at the stunned Yue Yao: "I was just so happy to see that you have made such great progress, so I said a few more words." This is not something that can be done in a day or two, nor can it be done by one or two people, but depends on everyone's efforts. Yueyao, you can do things according to your own wishes in the future. "If you want to make a breakthrough in painting, you need many people to work together, and the reform of the art world cannot be completed by Yueyao alone.

Yue Yao let out a long breath, she was indeed frightened by Mr. Yushan's words just now. Where does she have so much energy to encourage others to innovate, she still doesn't understand where she innovates. She only paints according to her own heart.

Mr. Yushan looked at Yueyao's confused appearance, and he didn't know whether to be happy or uncomfortable for Yueyao's thoughts. The idea of letting Yueyao lead the innovation of the new force is destined to die, because Yueyao's temperament is not suitable.

Mr. Yushan shook his head, women are different from men. If Yueyao was a man, he must have been ambitious when he heard him, not scared to death as he is now. Mr. Yushan smiled and shook his head, forget it, this matter is reluctant: "How many paintings do you still have here?" ”

Yue Yao thought for a moment and said, "Nine pieces, plus this one, a total of ten." "Yueyao painted a lot of paintings, but she would check them once a month, and she would burn them if she thought they were bad. These nine paintings were all Yue Yao was more satisfied, so she kept them.

Mr. Yushan carefully looked at the nine paintings left by Yue Yao. Yueyao's nine paintings are based on random material marks, including a pair of peony flowers with the color of the country and a picture of the countryside at dusk...... These paintings all have their own characteristics, so they were preserved by Yueyao.

Mr. Yushan looked at it and nodded, then said, "It just so happens that there will be an art exhibition at Qingfeng Bookstore next time, and I will take all your paintings to the exhibition at that time."

Yue Yao opened her mouth, "Whose art exhibition?" ”

Mr. Yushan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I will arrange it, you can take advantage of this time to tidy up these paintings." "The only thing that Mr. Yushan is dissatisfied with Yueyao is that Yueyao is a little lacking in poetry. If Yueyao had such a talent for painting in poetry, it would be perfect.

When Mr. Yushan left, he took with him the new market map drawn by Yueyao.

Yueyao returned to the house and asked Xiang Wei, "Am I dreaming?" ”

Xiang Wei smiled and said, "Girl, do you want me to slap you?" Slap it down, and make sure you know if it's a dream. "With this kind of mentality, I can still be the leader of innovation in the art world, and I don't know what Mr. Yushan thinks.

Yueyao didn't care what Xiang Wei said, but said to herself: "It's really like a dream." His goal has always been to become a great painter, but now that his dream has come true, Yueyao feels that it is still very unreal.

Drizzle came over and said, "Girl, don't dream anymore." The third grandmother of the dealer is here, and now she is waiting for you in the main courtyard, girl, go over and have a look! "The people in the dealer have been waiting for more than two months, and it is also thanks to the patience of the third grandmother of the dealer that the others left early.

Yueyao nodded, freshened up and went to the main courtyard, and when she arrived at the main courtyard, she saw a young daughter-in-law with a square appearance.

When Grandma Zhuang San heard Yue Yao coming, her eyes looked at the door, and she was a little surprised when she saw Yue Yao.

Yue Yao was wearing a lilac-colored dress embroidered with chrysanthemums, her hair was a small flowing cloud bun late, a phoenix hairpin with a tired silk inlaid ruby was inserted in the bun, and she wore a pair of two round pearls decorated with silver threads.

Zhuang Ruolan was very surprised when she saw Yueyao, and said, "Why did you lose so much weight?" Don't try too hard, take your time, your body is important. ”

Yue Yao smiled: "It's okay, just be busy for another half a month." "Finishing these paintings can't be completed in half a month.

Zhuang Ruolan introduced the third grandmother of the Zhuang family to Yueyao, and said with a smile: "This is my third sister-in-law." "Yueyao's words just now are obviously not going to take over the dealer's business.

Yue Yao smiled lightly and gave a gift, "The third grandmother is fine." ”

The third grandmother of the Zhuang family was nervous, if the two families were close, they should call her the third sister-in-law, but now they are calling her the third grandmother, Yueyao's attitude is already obvious.

After a few words of greeting, Grandma Zhuang San explained her intentions.

Yue Yao shook her head with a smile and said: "This year's three paintings have already been decided, if Grandma Zhuang San wants, she can only wait for next year, but next year's affairs, I don't want to settle for the time being." ”

Grandma Zhuang San glanced at Zhuang Ruolan anxiously, hoping that Zhuang Ruolan would intercede, it was always a family, and she believed that Yueyao would give her face.

Zhuang Ruolan finally spoke, not for Mrs. Zhuang, but for Mr. Zhuang.

Yue Yao pondered for a while and said, "Cousin-in-law, even if I agree to paint for Old Madam Zhuang, I don't have time to go, you know, I've been very busy. "The old lady puts on a big score, and it depends on whether she sells this face.

Grandma Zhuang San said: "Lian girl, if you are willing to go to Zhangcheng, they are willing to pay double the painting fee." "Grandma Zhuang San means that they are willing to give Yueyao two thousand taels of silver.

The decent smile on Yue Yao's face was gone, and she said with a pale face: "I already said, I'm busy and don't have time to go that far. "Yueyao's attitude has been put out, I will paint if you come, if you don't come, forget it.

Yueyao gave Zhuang Ruolan a gift, "Cousin-in-law, I still have something to do, I'll go back first." "Yueyao looks like this, she doesn't give the third grandmother face at all.

Grandma Zhuang San's face stiffened.

Zhuang Ruolan smiled and rounded, "Third sister-in-law, don't care, Yueyao is like this." But this kid is really busy, as you can see, it takes two or three months to paint a picture, and now it's not finished, she really can't find time. ”

Grandma Zhuang San said with a puzzled face: "Grandma, then you said that we will double the painting money, is she willing?" ”

Zhuang Ruolan said with a smile: "This kid is not bad for money, and he said to the outside world that he wanted a thousand taels of paintings, but he didn't want to paint people." ”

Yueyao is indeed not bad for money, she gets nearly 20,000 taels of dividends from the cloth village and the cloth shop and the rouge shop every year, and the annual income of the shop and the grange is also a lot. The annual income is also tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Yueyao basically doesn't spend money except for buying some painting tools or the four treasures of the study on weekdays.

How Grandma Zhuang San went to recover her life was not within Yueyao's consideration, and her headache now was to inscribe poems on these paintings.

Yueyao racked her brains every day, and finally took out the poems she had made in her previous life to polish them, and then asked Xiang Wei to comment. If Xiang Wei thinks it is appropriate, Yueyao will take it to Mr. Yushan for comments, and only with Mr. Yushan's approval can Yueyao dare to inscribe the poem on the painting.

Xiang Wei felt that Yueyao was too arrogant, "Girl, you are too unconfident, I think you are quite good in poetry, and you are not as talented as you say." ”

Yueyao remained silent because she couldn't explain.

It took Yue Yao more than half a month to finally get the painting right, and after Mr. Yushan accepted the painting, Yue Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yueyao fell asleep, touched her black and shiny hair when she got up to comb her hair, and said, "Fortunately, this kind of thing doesn't happen often, otherwise my hair would have fallen out." "I was so tired during this time, I was so anxious that my hair was about to fall out.

Xiang Wei snorted and laughed, "Girl, the exhibition is in September, do you want to go and have a look at it then?" Anyway, the last time I went to the market, I was dressed as a man, and this time I went to see an art exhibition, we also dressed as a man, what do you think? ”

Yue Yao refused without thinking about it, "Last time it was a special situation, and there will be no next time." If you want to go, you can go and let me know everyone's comments when the time comes. ”

Xiang Wei nodded, "Girl, Mr. Yushan will take care of the exhibition." Shouldn't you think about yourself now? October is your ceremony, and even if the Shen family doesn't mention your marriage, Master Ma will take the initiative to mention it. Girl, it's been delayed for so long, it's time to settle it. ”
