When Chu Zhen was thinking, the tooth luggage shopkeeper returned to the living room, followed by a middle-aged man who was about forty years old, and a young man who was about twenty years old. The whole book"

After the ceremony, the middle-aged man found the young man standing next to him, and couldn't help but stare at him fiercely, as if hinting at something.

"Young Master Chu, these two are father and son, surnamed Chen, and live in ......." Shopkeeper Li smiled slightly, and softly introduced the family situation of Chen's father and son to Chu Zhen, the ancient Yaxing is not like a modern intermediary company, just knows some simple information, and if you want to come forward as a guarantee, you have to take responsibility, how can you not know the details of your own manpower, not to mention the home address, I am afraid that even the three generations of the other party's ancestors are clear.

Knowing that Shopkeeper Li didn't dare to find someone to fool him at will, and Chu Zhen also noticed that between the nails of Chen's father and son, there were faint remnants of paint used for painting, which should have just been stained not long ago, maybe he heard the news and didn't have time to clean his hands, so he hurried over.

When Chu Zhen was groaning, Chen's father and son held their breath and condensed, they didn't even dare to come out, their expressions seemed to be a little nervous, obviously they were very concerned about whether they could be hired, the painter and the painter were just a word difference, but the identity and treatment were worlds apart, and those who could be respected as painters were generally well-known literati, and there was an endless stream of people who came to ask for paintings.

The painter, even if he has a special talent in some aspect and superb painting skills, even the painter has to bow to the wind, which is admirable, but he does not get the treatment he deserves, but he is just a craftsman, he can only walk the streets and alleys to paint for people to support his family, and his greatest hope is to get a long-term employment from the proprietor and have a stable job.

Of course, the fruit painting skills are really superb, and some people have long heard about it and hired it, and a painter like Chen's father and son is not only selling paintings on the street, but also looking for opportunities in the market.

"Did you bring any of your usual paintings?" Chu Zhen asked softly, this time is different from last time, making a folding fan does not require a craftsman to have superb skills, and painting on the fan surface, if you don't have some skills, I'm afraid you won't be able to do this job.

"Childe, please." The middle-aged painter hurriedly took out a few scrolls of paintings from the hanging bag and presented them with both hands.

The quality of the light hand took the painting axis, unfolded and looked at it for a moment, and found that these pictures are indeed exquisite, the landscape figures, birds, beasts, insects and fish are realistic, lifelike, the pen is very strong, Chu asked himself if he did not have this ability, but unfortunately although the pictures are exquisite, they are full of ingenuity, to put it bluntly, they are dull, without any aura.

And watch carefully. There will be a few paintings in which the scenery is very similar. It's kind of like making a copy out of a mold. People have a perceptual understanding of appreciating beauty. I don't like much about the unchanging scene on the first floor. In particular, the nature of the Song people likes to be romantic. For the artistic pursuit. More than ever before. You will never appreciate a stiff, homogeneous painting.

Here's the problem. Chu Zhen wants to find a place to be a painter. If it weren't for the technical limitations, I really wanted to make several molds of different shapes. Then print the picture directly on the fan surface. This saves a lot of effort.

"Good." Chu Zhen nodded lightly. Smiled. Said to the shopkeeper Li: "That's them." ”

Customer satisfaction means business success. Shopkeeper Li immediately smiled happily and asided Chen's father and son. I can't help but rejoice in being employed for a long time. It's better than running around in the city to paint and fall in love with people. Then there is the question of treatment. There is no need for Shopkeeper Li to intervene in this matter. It was personally negotiated by Chu Zhen and Chen's father and son. After a while. Chu Zhen walked out with a spring breeze on his face, and the Chen father and son walked out. Behind him is naturally the smiling shopkeeper Li.

"Young Master Chu. Welcome back. "For frequent visitors. Naturally, be warm. With a smile on his face, Shopkeeper Li waved his hand. Let others look sideways.

Perhaps. Chu Zhen smiled and arched his hand. Turn around and walk towards the east of the city. The contract has been signed. Naturally, the Chen family and his son followed closely behind the proprietor. In the future, I will have to work under other people. Be self-conscious, of course.

Before going to the tooth shop, Chu Zhi had already rented a secluded narrow courtyard in the depths of a small alley near Chu Mansion in the east of the city, which was also expensive, and it was only a month to pay for it, the price was cheap, and the conditions were naturally worse.

"Proprietor, please sit down while we clean up." The middle-aged painter Chen Fu said very consciously, pulling his son Chen Fu, rolling up his sleeves, and cleaning the courtyard diligently, you must know that this is the place where you work in the future, clean up better, and it is yourself who benefits, half an hour later, looking at the new courtyard house, Chu Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and motioned for Chen's father and son to come over.

"I think Shopkeeper Li should have told you why I hired you." Chu Zhi said, gently unwrapping the package he was carrying.

"Of course we know." Chen Fu said respectfully: "Since the proprietor hired us, we should serve the proprietor wholeheartedly, and we are not competent for anything else, but when it comes to drawing for the fan, please do it."

, in Bianliang City, our father and son are definitely no worse than others. ”

The others here are, of course, other fellow painters, and Chen Fu doesn't have the courage to compare himself with those noble painters.

Looking at the Chen father and son with confident faces, Chu Zhi chuckled and said, "Don't talk too much, painting a fan is not necessarily a simple matter. ”

"Forgive me for my guts, please take the fan, wait for me to paint the fan, and then ask the proprietor to comment." Chen Fu said softly, having the heart to show his ability in front of the new owner.

When he was in the tooth shop just now, Chu Zhen also heard the shopkeeper Li say that Chen's father and son were originally employed by a well-known fan shop in the south of the city, but unfortunately two months ago, the owner of the fan shop didn't know what was going on, and suddenly gave his shop to others, and the new owner was unwilling to use the old man of the fan shop, and the Chen father and son could only pack up their burdens and leave, and soon after, the empty fan shop went out of business.

Listening to the shopkeeper Li's words, the reason why the fan shop is famous and the business is booming is mainly because the painting skills of Chen's father and son are indeed extraordinary, and the customers are coming for them, but the new proprietor does not know, and the Chen's father and son are dismissed, and the source of customers is gradually decreasing, and the shop has no business, how can it not fall.

Shopkeeper Li's words were a bit boastful, of course Chu Zhen would not believe it, but he also believed that Chen Fu would definitely have two hits, but drawing on the group fan and drawing on the folding fan were two different things, and it would be good to hit Chen Fu's self-confidence, otherwise when he said that he wanted to instruct their father and son, they would definitely not be convinced.

Chu Zhen thought secretly, took out a folding fan from the package, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then there is Master Lao Chen." ”

"What is this, proprietor?" Taking the closed folding fan, Chen was puzzled.

"Dear, this is a folding fan, which can be unfolded." Chen Ming said softly, although folding fans are not popular, and there are not many people using them in Bianliang City, but the young man naturally pays more attention to some strange things, and he has worked in a fan shop, so he still has an impression of this strange-shaped fan.

"It turned out to be a bat fan, no wonder it's peculiar." Chen Fu said suddenly, cautiously, a little clumsily unfolded the folding fan, and a faint fragrance suddenly came to his face, not only that, the smooth fan surface like snow, the polished smooth, and the fan bone fan pages that were light and cool and moisturized all made Chen Fu amazed.

"What a delicate folding fan." Chen Ming exclaimed.

That's natural, the corners of Chu Zhi's mouth flashed a hint of pride, those unpopular folding fans in Bianliang City, at most there are only a few fan pages, seven or eight folds, where can it be compared with this kind of well-carved folding fan, sixteen fan bones, together with the thin snow-white fan surface, when put together, it is only two fingers wide, and it looks comfortable to the eyes.

"Such innocent paper, but I don't know where it came from." Chen Fu carefully stroked the fan surface with his hand, only to feel smooth and delicate, and his heart suddenly burned with a little joy.

As one of the four treasures of the study, paper has been loved by people since its invention, and high-quality paper is extremely valuable, which can be described as a rare page of 100 gold, and Chen Fu, as a painter, usually deals with paper, and naturally pays great attention to the fan surface of paper.

"It's not Chengxintang paper." Chen Ming guessed that Chengxintang paper is the most famous paper in Jiangnan, this kind of paper paper is smooth, fine and tough, good quality, expensive, but it is sought after by the world and is very popular with calligraphers and painters.

Chu Zhen smiled and didn't answer, and found that the Chen father and son were still more discerning, and they actually found that this noodle paper was different.

"The proprietor won't let me draw on this door." In addition to being amazed, Chen Fu felt a little bad in his heart, not to mention that the folding fan fan was undulating and undulating, and it was not easy to paint.

"Exactly." Chu Zhen smiled: "Presumably, some small things are just a gesture for Master Chen." ”

After looking at his son for a moment and groaning, Chen Fu said honestly: "The proprietor, I'm afraid I'm not competent in this matter, please forgive me." ”

Rather than not being able to draw it, or graffiti other people's folding fans, it is better to admit it directly, Chen Fu's tone was a little low, and Chen Ming was also depressed, seeing that there were still a few folding fans in the package next to Chu Zhen, the two of them also guessed that what Chu Zhen hired him for, he couldn't meet the requirements of the proprietor, then I am afraid that this job will be lost, after all, no one will hire a helpful man.

"Get a pen." Chu Zhen smiled and stretched out his hand, blinked his eyes, and Chen Ming, who was quite clever, hurriedly took out the paintbrush from his pocket, respectfully presented it, and then quickly put out the color of the color.

"The fan has a semi-circular arc shape, so its composition needs to be unique...... After taking the paintbrush and dipping it in some color, Chu Zhi said softly, and the paintbrush in his hand did not stop, almost casually smearing it on the white fan.
