"Cousin Mingzhu has good painting skills, I have always known it, but I didn't expect that Sister Lan is not far behind! Today's competition now seems to be unpredictable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The incense in the incense burner was half burned, and the ladies on the shore of the lake gathered around the two tables, and looked at the two people who were concentrating on painting at a distance. The people present are all from a background, either rich or expensive, their upbringing since childhood is naturally not too bad, and they also have eyesight, and they can still tell whether the painting is good or bad, so some people sigh from time to time, and even Yu Yaxian can't help but sigh.

"The Lan family is from the Qingyang Lan family, and it should be the second uncle of the fifth girl of Lan. Although Lan Taishou has been busy with official business all these years, everyone has slowly forgotten that the paintings of his youth have been praised by the current Queen Mother herself, and the five girls of Lan have been trained by the court at a young age, so naturally they will not be worse than the big girl Fang who has been trained by famous teachers since childhood. Chen Xinyao added with a smile on the side.

Yu Yaxian glanced at her, each smiled, stopped talking, turned around and continued to watch the two of them paint quietly.

Fu Xinyi stood on the side, looking at Lan Xi, who was half-hanging her head in front of the bookcase, with a focused expression, and couldn't help but sigh, my cousin is really a cousin, it's amazing!

Time passed quickly, and after a while, the incense had burned out. And Lan Xi, who also finished the painting at the last moment, stopped writing, and couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief. Fang Mingzhu put aside his brush almost at the same time, but his expression was not as relaxed as Lan Xi's, and there was a slight trace of annoyance between his eyebrows.

Lan Xi walked over and looked down, but he was very surprised. Fang Mingzhu painted the scenery of the lake, including many characters of the female dependents, although due to time constraints, several figures in the corner have not yet been colored, but the composition of the whole painting is large, the number of characters, and the wide range of colors make her have to be surprised. But thinking about it, she was also annoyed that she couldn't finish it all due to time constraints, but when Lan Xi saw it, she felt a trace of pity in her heart, but in addition, there was a trace of regret. If Fang Mingzhu hadn't been trying to win her, this painting might have been better, if Fang Mingzhu hadn't always been like enemies with her, maybe they would be like-minded in terms of painting.

"Miss Fang's painting, if there is enough time, the fine brush painting is even more eye-catching." Although there were some regrets in his heart, Lan Xi still rarely said what he thought in his heart.

Fang Mingzhu was not a fool, she could naturally hear a hint of affirmation hidden in these words, and couldn't help but glance up at Lan Xi in surprise, she thought that a woman from a noble family like Lan Xi had always looked down on her, even if her mother's surname was Jia, it couldn't change the fact that she was the daughter of a military general, and her father was even more from a humble family. The Fang family, in front of those families that have been passed down for generations, or even hundreds of years, after all, the background is still shallow, even if those people flatter them because of their father's high position and power, and because of their mother's noble status, but in private, who doesn't secretly look down on them, and value them to get rich overnight, but it is still difficult to hide the inferior nouveau riche? And Fang Mingzhu is very smart, partial and arrogant, because he can see clearly, so I feel that you can't look down on you, and I can't look down on you.

Therefore, she has always looked down on those women who boast of being from a noble background, undergoing court training at a young age, and knowing how to be knowledgeable, she has always felt that in addition to her family background, she is not as good as those people, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which one of her is not more diligent than them, which one is not better than them? And those women from the family always wear a dignified and graceful mask and makeup. And Lanxi is the best. Therefore, she hates her, every time she always tries her best to compete with her, as long as she can beat her in front of everyone once, even once, Fang Mingzhu thought to herself, she is also satisfied.

Since they met Lan Xi, they have never spoken calmly between them, but just now, she heard affirmation and praise from Lan Xi's words. It's a delusion, right? Lanxi ...... The daughter of the Qingyang Lan family, who was born in a real scholarly family and a noble celebrity, shouldn't she be underestimated in her heart?

When Fang Mingzhu was still stunned, the wives over there had already walked from the pavilion to the lake, looking down at the paintings of the two of them, and one of the ladies exclaimed, "Ah! With so many paints, Miss Lan Wu is actually useless, did she use ink lightly? ”

Fang Mingzhu was shocked when she heard this, and turned her head to look at Lan Xi, who smiled slightly, did she paint ink?

As if seeing Fang Mingzhu's unspoken inquiry, Lan Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "What I'm good at is fine brushwork, not ink, you have all the paints you have prepared, although my hands are itchy, but due to time constraints, I have to give up the complicated and simple." ”

"Huh? It doesn't look like ink. But this painting method is very good-looking, Mrs. Lan, isn't this your Lan family's family technique? "The one who spoke was the wife of the political envoy of Chengxuan, that is, Chen Xinyao's mother, from the Zheng family in Hengyang, and she was also a century-old family, so her eyesight was natural.

Like everyone else, Fang Mingzhu couldn't help but be full of curiosity after hearing this, and came to the Lanxi table to take a look, his eyes shrank in shock. On the picture scroll, but black and white, white is paper, black is ink, the lines are really simple, but it is not a freehand landscape, but painted in the way of line drawing, the painting is the pavilion, the top of the flowers such as the cover, magnolia fragrance. A few women in the pavilion are sitting or standing, talking and laughing, among them there is today's birthday star Mrs. Yu, as well as Lanxi's mother Mrs. Lan San, as well as Mrs. Chen and several other ladies who just spoke, there are only a few characters, but between the black brushes, but the person's demeanor is painted vividly, the most wonderful thing is that whether it is a scene or a person, it is just a black and white line obliquely intertwined in one place, but it presents an unusual three-dimensional feeling, which is different from common paintings, so that the person and the scene, as if they can come to life from the painting. And this kind of painting, Fang Mingzhu is really unseen and unheard of, it is really as Mrs. Chen said, it is the secret method of the Lan family. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Lanxi with complicated eyes.

Seeing that her daughter's paintings were praised, the third wife was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing, "Mrs. Chen can ask me this, I am a big heart, this child learns from her father on weekdays, you say that I can have anything to worry about, naturally I don't care about everything." To be honest, I know that she followed my master to learn to paint, but how is the painting, I only hear my master say two words on weekdays, this painting, I have seen it for the first time, and I don't know about it. ”

"It seems that I have to ask Miss Lan Wu about this."

"This is a secret technique, and it is also from the Fu family, not our Lan family. Well, a few years ago, my uncle drew a baby elephant for my mother, and I learned from that baby elephant. (To be continued.) )
