The third brother of Su Lu is called Su Buwei.

He likes Danqing, but unfortunately he neither worships famous teachers nor meets people in the circle, so he can't enter the art academy.

It is worth mentioning that the current assessment system of the art academy is quite ancient, and it is the same as the major associations in later generations to follow the recommendation system of the old with the new, and it is difficult for you to squeeze into it if you are not in that circle.

It was not until later that Song Huizong, who was obsessed with painting, ascended the throne and carried out drastic reforms to the academy, and also set up a special "painting", so that those who love painting can pass the professional assessment to enter the academy as a doctor of calligraphy and painting.

In short, now Su Buwei doesn't even have the opportunity to take the art exam, at best he can only be said to be an amateur.

But that's not the reason why Su Lu didn't rush out to greet him.

Su Lu walked through the corridor and saw that his third brother was still standing at the door, looking down at his boots embroidered with green bamboo, as if he was seriously thinking about something.

"Third brother." Su Lu shouted, and then gave his third brother an order, "Step on your left leg first." ”

"Uh-oh." Su Buwei was relieved and stepped out of his left leg as he said.

Su Lu led the way for Su Buwei in front.

Su is not dangerous, but he is not stupid, but he reacts very slowly, and he will not run when it rains outside, but walks back slowly.

He is also very grinding, every time he comes back from outside, he first pat the dust off his body, and then carefully clean his boots.

Even if he cleaned himself from head to toe, he still couldn't get into the house right away.

Because if no one makes a choice for him, he will hesitate for a long time about whether to step on his left leg or his right leg first today.

In the end, I may have to calculate a hexagram to decide!

Therefore, even if Su Lu comes out later, it is nothing.

Anyway, his third brother didn't even enter the door!

The geniuses in this world may be more or less faulty.

Su Lu muttered in his heart.

Of course, Su Lu will not say it.

Su Lu asked with concern: "Third brother, why did you come here suddenly?" ”

Su Buwei said: "I have been figuring out the principle of color mixing you mentioned in the letter, and I have finally become a little eyebrows, and I want to come to you to discuss and discuss." He vaguely mentioned to Su Lu the difficulties of living in the second brother's house, "What's more, I have been staying with the second brother for a long time, and the second sister-in-law should be unhappy if I stay again." ”

When Su Lu heard this, he strongly condemned the second brother Su Budo in his heart.

is a dignified man, but he can't even hold down his wife, so that his brother can't feel the warmth of home when he borrows it!

Damn, how will he rub it in the future?

This should be learned from his father-in-law, the three of them have lived for so long, and they have never felt like outsiders, let alone unwelcome!

Su Lu led Su Buwei to the courtyard where the three brothers lived.

Su Buwei prepared to go back to Meishan's hometown tomorrow, and then rushed back to Su Jian and his wife to fulfill their filial piety, so they stayed for one night.

Su Lu asked Su Buwei to squeeze with him for one night, and the accompanying little guy went to squeeze with King Kong for one night, and it was okay to deal with it tonight.

Su Buwei has no opinion.

He didn't care much about anything other than painting.

Su Lu led Su Buwei to meet Ma's family, explaining that Su Buwei was going to stay tonight.

Hearing Su Lu say that he wanted Su Buwei to squeeze a bed with him, Ma immediately said, "Then how can it be done?" I asked someone to clean up the room and come out. ”

Su Lu said: "Don't bother, we have slept in a crowded bed before, so we don't pay so much attention to it." ”

Ma knew that Su Lu had an idea, and he was not reluctant, just let Su Buwei not be restrained and treat this place as his own home.

After meeting Ma's, Su Lu led Su Buwei back to discuss the issue of color mixing.

After walking for a while, Su Buwei said: "She treats you very closely. "People can lie, but it is difficult to deceive people with their eyes, just now Ma Shi looked at Su Lu's eyes full of love, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his own child.

Su Lu was ashamed: "Of course, who wouldn't like me as a well-behaved child?" ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Su Buwei's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Brothers must protect and care for each other, and they must never expose their shortcomings!

The brothers returned to the small courtyard, and Su Buwei and Su Shi talked about the old days again, and then opened the bag they brought back to explore the principle of color mixing with Su Yan.

The Song people also used pigments in painting, but they used natural pigments.

For example, all kinds of ore pigments and plant pigments.

Like Wang Ximeng's "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains", the green landscape on it is a famous painting that has not faded for thousands of years.

It's that pigments are more expensive.

The green landscapes in "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" cost precious minerals such as clams, azurite, malachite, etc., and every color is carefully tuned out by grinding these treasures into fine powder!

There is an even more terrifying thing: "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is twelve meters long.

The precious minerals consumed by this painting are lined up, and I am afraid that it can cover ten people tightly, and you can imagine how much it costs to paint such a painting.

It can be seen that since ancient times, studying art has burned money, and if you want to paint well, it is best to join the art academy and use the public money to practice your painting skills!

Fortunately, pigments are expensive and cheap, since you can't afford to use rare pigments, there are some cheaper alternatives.

The topic that Su Lu left for Su Buwei in his last letter was based on the principle of color mixing on the basis of the three primary colors.

Su Buwei was fascinated when he saw it.

The second sister-in-law of the Su family saw that he didn't eat well and couldn't sleep well, and he got a lot of strange colors everywhere in himself and his room all day long, so she naturally had a lot of opinions in her heart.

The second sister-in-law of the Su family actually didn't say anything, but Su Buwei was very slow about other things, but she was very sensitive to other people's likes and dislikes, and she soon sensed that the second sister-in-law didn't like her.

Su Buwei returned to Shuzhong on the grounds of missing his elderly parents.

"I've got a couple of affordable paints that I can use as a base to create a variety of beautiful colors." Su Buwei talked to Su Lu about his research progress.

Su Shi and the others were also very interested when they heard it, and they came around to see how Su Buwei used several cheap pigments as the basis to make a variety of different colors.

Su Buwei took out the special palette and showed them the grading process seriously.

Soon, a picture of a butterfly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The flowers on it are fresh and tender, and the fluttering butterflies are also colorful, and the whole painting is rich in layers because of the bold and changeable colors.

Most people like bright things, otherwise they would not add carved beams to the house, let alone try to dye their clothes in different colors.

In terms of painting, Danqing lovers have never stopped adding color.

The problem is that literati and artists often pursue elegance and solemnity when painting, and most of the colors used are inherent, which is a little more dignified and a little less vivid.

The butterflies painted by Su Buwei are so beautiful and cute that each one seems to be about to break the paper.

Su Shi boasted: "It's really good. ”

Su Buwei smiled shyly: "It's just a color test." ”

Su Lu has no experience in painting, and the relevant knowledge depends on searching, so he is naturally not interested in the butterfly picture painted by Su Buwei.

He excitedly called Su Buwei as an art director: "You draw two snowmen for me, and I'll take Sister Zhang to do it tomorrow!" ”

Su Shi also asked the same question as the little lady of the Zhang family: "Everyone else builds snow lions, how do you build snowmen?" ”

Su Lu explained to Su Shi that the snowman is to rub two round balls together, which is simple and convenient and does not hurt your hands, so that even if you have a broken hand, you will not make a mistake!

A real man, how can you go wrong in front of your beloved little lady!

Su Lu told Su Buwei about his needs in this way, and successfully got the snowman picture drawn by Su Buwei.

But early the next morning, Su Lu got up hard to go to play with the little lady of the Zhang family, and found that the two little nephews of the little lady of the Zhang family came.

They have already made two lifelike lion cubs.

That level, that technique, at first glance, it's an old snowman!

The two little children were still sticking to the little lady of the Zhang family one by one, and they raised their heads curiously and asked Su Lu: "Is it difficult to build snowmen?" ”

The little lady of the Zhang family also looked at him with a smile.

Su Lu had a thousand words in his heart, and finally turned into one word-
