Chapter 182: Admitting defeat

"This is a secret technique, and it is also from the Fu family, not our Lan family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWell, a few years ago, my uncle drew a baby elephant for my mother, and I learned from that baby elephant. ”

Mrs. Fu felt that the brushwork seemed to be a little familiar, so she heard Lan Xi say this, and couldn't help but look at her in surprise. Lan Xi looked at her and smiled slightly, "Auntie, this method was said by my uncle a few years ago, and then he drew a picture of his mother's elephant and handed it to me, so that I can understand it myself. Today, due to time constraints, I had the courage to try it, and the painting was not very good, so don't be surprised by my aunt, and don't go back to my uncle to complain about my situation. ”

The already beautiful niece blinked, half pleading and half coquettish, and in front of everyone, what could Mrs. Fu do? At the moment, it was as disgusting as swallowing a fly, but he still had to laugh and say, "What did Sister Xi say, if your uncle knew that you taught him so well in calligraphy and such outstanding painting, he would naturally be happy, and even if my aunt went back and said it, it would be a compliment, where could it be a complaint!" But in her heart, she was thinking, yes, she did see her master use this method, but it was not a brush, but a "charcoal" fired with wicker, and most of the paintings were small elephants of people, with three-dimensional facial features, jumping on the paper. His master said that he only knew fur, and in Mrs. Fu's opinion, although she was not so willing to admit it, Master Fu's paintings were not as pleasing to the eye as this one in Lanxi today. However, what made Mrs. Fu a little uncomfortable was that when did the master send the painting, why didn't she know?

After hearing this, the third wife suddenly realized, "It was you who painted a picture of Yishan Autumn as a birthday gift for your uncle, and the one that your uncle gave back to you?" "Come to think of it, that was a few years ago, right?

"My mother finally remembered, and my uncle said in the letter that if he hadn't seen me for a few years, and didn't know what I had become, he would have drawn my baby elephant, not my mother's." Lan Xi said with a smile.

"My father also painted it for me, and it looks quite similar, but I always feel a little awkward when I look at it." Fu Xinyi said, and once she saw a strange-looking portrait of a person without clothes in her father's "sketchbook...... Belch...... It's a shame to think about it. Of course, this is a secret that the little girl Fu Xinyi will never tell others, and it belongs to her alone, but fortunately she was not discovered by her father at that time.

Here, a few people are happy, and everyone on the side, whether they are sincere or fake, are all smiling and seem to be attentive.

Over there, Fang Mingzhu's face changed a few times when she looked at Lan Xi's painting, and then when Lan Xi looked over, she seemed to have used all her strength, and her shoulders collapsed like a slump, "I lost." Before today, she had always thought that the rumors that Lan Xi was good at painting were just exaggerated by others in order to praise her, but she didn't want to, it was actually worthy of the name. In the final analysis, today's competition was forced by her, but she didn't want to, she was humiliating herself.

"Anyway, let's finish your drawing first! You just don't have enough time, otherwise, who would want to see my dull and colorless painting when you're used to seeing you so colorful? Lan Xi smiled, and when she looked at Mingzhu's disbelieving eyes above, she curled her pink lips and said, "You said you admit defeat, why don't I want to admit defeat too." After all, I'm a bit opportunistic today, and if I choose the same painting style, I may not be able to draw better than you. Moreover, you and I are both lovers of painting, and how can you see such a good painting missing a corner, so please finish the rest first. ”

Those who were waiting to see a good show were all surprised by Lan Xi's performance, haven't these two always been at odds? How many times did Fang Mingzhu provoke Lan Xi in public, this time Lan Xi finally responded to the battle, Fang Mingzhu had already admitted defeat in person, they thought that Lan Xi would take advantage of the situation to teach Fang Mingzhu a lesson, who knows, this situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

The elders were obviously very happy, and Mrs. Yu smiled at the moment, "That's right, this is more elegant than the painting, if you have to hold on to winning or losing, it will not be beautiful." In my opinion, these two paintings are just Chunlan and Autumn Chrysanthemum, with different styles, and if you really want to judge a winner or loser, it is just a flower in each eye. So be it! Mingzhu, you listen to Sister Xi'er, finish this painting first, these two paintings are my birthday gifts, and none of you can take them away. ”

How could Fang Mingzhu not know that this was looking for her to go down the stairs. At that moment, he glanced at Lan Xi with complicated eyes, and then, without saying a word, returned to the table and lifted the paintbrush.

After a while, the last corner was also colored, and this look was really colorful, wonderful, and pleasing to the eye. When Lan Xi saw it, her eyes couldn't help but light up and said, "If it's empty, Miss Fang can really retrace this painting." ”

"I'll give it to you then, would you like to receive it?" Fang Mingzhu suddenly spoke, and in Lan Xi's surprised lookback, she was a little uncomfortable and said in a stiff voice, "It's a thank you gift, I don't like to owe others." ”

Lan Xi suddenly smiled, and suddenly felt that this eldest lady was not so annoying.

For a while, the matter of comparing paintings came to an end for the time being, and Mrs. Yu led a group of wives back to the flower hall where the banquet was held. Chen Xinyao stepped forward with a smile and said, "Since Mrs. Yu has already spoken, this painting doesn't need to be sent to the other side, right?" Naturally, this earlier said that the lottery head is also stopped. ”

Fang Mingzhu's already gentle face instantly tensed, "I have already admitted defeat, it doesn't matter if this painting is sent or not, the color head that is said to be good, naturally will not give up, my Mingzhu has always been a person who believes in his word, and he is not a person who can't afford to lose." ”

Lan Xi frowned slightly, looked at the two in front of him thoughtfully, and then said with a smile, "This painting is naturally going to be sent, whether you lose or win, but you have to wait for a while." After that, Lan Xi beckoned a big girl sent by the Yu family to serve, and said with a smile, "Please ask this sister to send the painting in person, if anyone asks about the whole story, just say it bluntly." ”

The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally took the order. Lan Xi turned around, but saw that Fang Mingzhu and Chen Xinyao were staring at her inexplicably, but she didn't care, just smiled slightly, turned around and walked to the pavilion, and poured a cup of tea.

"Why are you helping her? She's obviously thrown in the towel, hasn't she? And if you hadn't asked her to finish the painting, even if the painting had been sent to the other side, an unfinished painting would have been lost. Chen Xinyao also walked up to her at some point, lowered her voice and asked, "And, as far as I know, Fang Mingzhu has never had a good word for you, hasn't he?" ”

"Sister Chen, today is Mrs. Yu's birthday, I just don't want to be a pawn in someone else's game, let alone fall into someone else's conspiracy. I'm not helping Fang Mingzhu, I'm just protecting myself. (To be continued.) )
