In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

In the bustling street market, a young man in a blue robe walked slowly down the street. As he walked, he looked around and looked very seriously.

The street went from morning to noon, and then the boy took the servant into the box. The box is also close to the street, and the two of them sit in the box, and the situation in the street market outside is also unobstructed.

There was no one in the box, and Xiang Wei said helplessly: "Girl, you have been wandering on this street for half a month, how long do you have to watch it?" Xiang Wei can't help but complain, this is exactly the same scenery, but Yue Yao looked at it again and again, and Xiang Wei had a little headache!

Yueyao was preparing to draw a map of the market. In order to get the most realistic material, she has to carefully observe the scenery in the market, even the vendors and shoppers, and even the passers-by.

In order to be responsible for this painting, Yueyao even crossed her bottom line and disguised herself as a man to observe in the market, and she has been observing for more than half a month from the beginning to now.

Yueyao heard Xiang Wei's complaints, and said with a smile: "I want to observe more." ”

In the past two years, Yue Yao has made great progress in her painting skills, and most of Yue Yao's materials come from very ordinary affairs, such as a person, a flower, and a bird. Yueyao convinced Mr. Yushan and felt that it was in her cognition.

Xiang Wei shook her head helplessly, fortunately, her patience was good, if she was an ordinary person, she would definitely be miserable with such a master.

Yueyao was drinking water, and suddenly saw two gorgeously dressed teenagers walking below, one was elegant and handsome, and the other was full of bookish air, and the two kept their heads down and said something from time to time.

Yueyao put down the cup and stared straight at it.

Xiang Wei followed Yue Yao's gaze, her brows trembled, she wanted to speak, but seeing that Yue Yao looked so seriously, she didn't open her mouth to disturb Yue Yao. It wasn't until Yue Yao withdrew her gaze on her own that she asked Wei Wei, "Girl, don't you dislike these two people?" Why do you still take it so seriously? Girl, it's too late for you to regret it now. In Xiang Wei's impression, Yue Yao not only didn't like Ning Lixuan and Shen Conghao, but could even be said to hate it.

Yue Yao smiled: "I look at them, I just think they are a landscape, a landscape that can be painted." "Putting aside personal grievances, Ning Lixuan and Shen Conghao are both beautiful young men. Of course, one is Liu Junlang, and the other is full of books.

Xiang Wei's brows twitched. In Xiang Wei's eyes, the people she doesn't like disdain to take a second look. Well, Xiang Wei admits that she can't understand Yueyao's thinking.

Yueyao stayed on this street for a month, and when Xiang Wei's patience was about to run out, she finally set out to paint the "South Street Market Map" to be painted.

When Yueyao was painting, she couldn't let anyone disturb her, so when the color painting came and heard Yueyao in the studio, she didn't dare to disturb.

Caihua returned to the main courtyard and said to Zhuang Ruolan: "Madam, Miss Yueyao is painting in the studio, I don't dare to disturb it." I have already told Hao's mother that I will tell the girl when Miss Yueyao comes out of the studio. ”

In the house at this time, in addition to Zhuang Ruolan, there was also a young daughter-in-law.

Zhuang Ruolan said to the young daughter-in-law: "Third sister-in-law, I told Yueyao a few years ago about asking her to paint for my grandmother, but Yueyao has always been busy and has no time to go over. ”

Because of the painting given to Mrs. Jingning Hou that year as an introduction, Yueyao has not only painted Buddha statues in recent years, but also painted portraits of those old people. Of course, these people are all old people from high-ranking or powerful families.

Needless to say, Yueyao's painting skills are naturally needless to say, in addition to Yueyao's two advantages, Yueyao's painting is very simple, and she will not use particularly gorgeous things, and the second is that she is good at capturing the different side, so her paintings are very popular with those old people. Because of this, Yueyao has been in the limelight in the capital in the past two years. Although the price is 1,000 pairs, there are still many people who ask for paintings. For those old people in large families, a thousand taels is really nothing. The only regret is that Yueyao really only paints three paintings a year, so it is also in short supply.

Mrs. Zhuang is also over 60 years old this year, and she has reached the age of knowing her fate. She was very moved when she heard that Yueyao was famous. Of course, if Mrs. Zhuang was in the capital, Yueyao would definitely not be able to refuse, but Mrs. Zhuang said that she couldn't stand the bumps and was unwilling to come to the capital, and she wanted Yueyao to go to her hometown to paint for her.

The Zhuang's hometown is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it takes at least two or three months to go back and forth. If Zhuang Ruolan pleaded, Yueyao might think about it. But Zhuang Ruolan thought that her mother's early death was caused by Mrs. Zhuang, where would she say this to Yueyao. So this thing has been dragging on, from years ago to years later. For this reason, Mrs. Zhuang sent her third granddaughter-in-law to supervise this matter.

Zhuang Ruolan saw that the third grandmother of the Zhuang family looked disbelieving, stood up and said, "The third sister-in-law will go to Haitang Garden with me, the scenery over there is good." ”

When the group arrived at Begonia Garden, they were led to the house by Hao's mother, and Yahuan brought tea and fruit snacks, but the owner just didn't come out.

Hao's mother saw that the third grandmother of the Zhuang family looked at her frequently, and said with a smile: "Madam, the girl is painting in the studio. We don't dare to disturb the girl painting. "Unless there is something important, they will not bother Yueyao. This will only be a guest of the banker's house, and the lady of the house has not spoken, so they naturally will not disturb Yueyao.

Grandma Zhuang San is a relatively successful person, and said with a smile: "Miss Lian is really obsessed with painting." "The third grandmother of the dealer doesn't want to be strong, but the elders have orders, and she is not sloppy.

Hao's mother smiled: "My girl forgot to sleep and eat as soon as she started painting, and it was useless how many times we talked about it." "Mother Hao's words are really not an exaggeration, if Yueyao really starts painting, then she really forgets everything.

The third grandmother of the dealer said: "When will the girl be okay?" ”

Hao's mother was embarrassed, and she couldn't tell her exactly time. Sometimes it only takes one or two hours for Yueyao to make a painting, and sometimes it takes two or three days.

Zhuang Ruolan said with a smile: "When Yueyao is well, I will send someone to tell my sister-in-law at that time." ”

When it was time to go to bed at night, Hao's mother told Yueyao about the arrival of the banker, and also said that the banker's people came to ask for paintings.

Yueyao said: "You ask your cousin-in-law to tell the people of the dealer that this year's three paintings have been decided, as for next year, next year's matter will be talked about next year." Yueyao felt that Old Madam Zhuang was really taking herself too seriously, and even asked her to spend more than two months just to paint a picture of her, who did she think she was? If it weren't for the cousin's face, who would care about her!

Hao's mother said this to Zhuang Ruolan more tactfully, "Madam, the girl said that the painting she made this time would take a long time. So she can't meet guests during this time, and I ask my wife to forgive me. "Mother Hao knows about the lawsuits between Zhuang Ruolan and Mrs. Zhuang, so she is not afraid of Zhuang Ruolan's annoyance. Of course, if Zhuang Ruolan had a heart, she should have discussed this matter with the girl a long time ago.

Zhuang Ruolan smiled: "Well, I will deal with this matter." "If her third sister-in-law didn't see Yueyao, she wouldn't go back like this, if she hadn't even seen her face, Mrs. Zhuang wouldn't have to scold her to death at that time.

Grandma Zhuang San got the word and felt that Yueyao's shelf was really too big. It's just that Yueyao is so famous now, and her aunt and grandmother are obviously unwilling to help, so she can't do anything, so she can only wait slowly.

Grandma Zhuang San waited for more than a month, and Grandma Zhuang couldn't bear to come to Mafu again: "Grandma, what is this girl painting?" It's been more than a month, isn't it okay? ”

Zhuang Ruolan smiled bitterly: "Third sister-in-law, Yueyao hasn't stepped out of the courtyard for more than a month. This child has been busy in the studio every day for more than a month, and the old lady and the eldest master have not seen her in the past. "Actually, Zhuang Ruolan herself is also very curious about what Yueyao is painting, and it takes so long?"

Grandma Zhuang San could only wait patiently.

It took more than two months for Yue Yao's painting to finish the painting "South Street Market Map". After Yueyao finished painting, she put down her brush and let out a sigh of relief.

After Yue Yao looked at it, she was sure that it was correct, and called out with a smile: "Xiang Wei, you come in." She had to let Xiang Wei look at her painting.

Xiang Wei walked in and was stunned when she saw Yueyao's paintings.

Yueyao's painting is twenty centimeters wide and nearly two meters long. The people in the painting include roadside vendors, farmers carrying burdens, pedestrians walking on the sidelines, customers shopping for things, and of course people sitting in taverns and horses. These people are dressed in coarse cloth clothes, some are dressed in gorgeous brocade, some are hawkers shouting loudly to solicit business, and some are sad and drunk, and the expressions of each of the people in the painting are different.

After reading it, Xiang Wei said to Yueyao, "Girl, this painting is the best painting you have painted so far. ”

Yue Yao smiled and nodded, "I think too." "She's never painted so many people before, at most two or three people, and she hasn't spent that long painting before.

Xiang Wei smiled: "Girl, Mr. Yushan must have nothing to say this time." "Mr. Yushan said that the girl can only accept Yueyao as an apprentice if she reaches the realm of a great painter, I believe that Mr. Yushan has nothing to say this time, and I want to say to Wei that Yueyao has now reached the realm of a great painter and does not need to worship Mr. Yushan as a teacher anymore.

Yue Yao grinned, "You don't have a good evaluation, you have to let the teacher evaluate it." Thinking of this, Yueyao immediately picked up the pen and wrote a letter for someone to send to Mr. Yushan. Invite Mr. Tamayama to come and see her painting.

After Yueyao finished writing the letter, Xiang Wei drove Yueyao to bathe and eat, and then forced Yueyao to go to bed. Although Yueyao's schedule and rest time in the past few months have been stable, she has consumed a lot of energy in the past few months, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight, even if Xiang Wei tells the cook to give Yueyao medicinal food, it is useless. Because even if Yueyao was lying in bed, her brain was spinning all the time.

Yueyao had been tense for the past two months, and now that she had finally finished painting, she relaxed and fell asleep on the bed.
