The entrance of Xichun Building.

Cheng Xiaohao was about to go in, and a person blocked in front of him.

That person was actually Ning Wenyu.

Cheng Xiaohao exclaimed: "Surprise me!" When did you get back? ”

Ning Wenyu's face was not good-looking, she frowned:

"If you were going to come down so late, you should have told me earlier, do you know how embarrassing it is for me to be alone in that place?"

"Especially when the people around me leave in pairs, and I can only wander around like a fool."

"I was also mocked and humiliated by some sharp-toothed singing women, which was a shame."

"Ahh I'm really sorry about that. Cheng Xiaohao sincerely apologized, he took out the scroll in his arms, and explained: "You see, I was obsessed with painting on a whim, so I forgot many things, and I don't even remember the hour. ”

"Whose paintings? How did you get it? ”

Ning Wenyu took the scroll in Xiao Hao's hand, and said while opening it: "It turns out that you can draw ......"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was drawn to the painting in front of her. And the original anger on her face also dissipated without a trace, replaced by a look of amazement.

"It's vivid, it's lifelike, it's ingenious, is this really what you painted?" Ning Wenyu reluctantly put away the scroll, and when she looked at Cheng Xiaohao again, she already had a little more admiration.

Seeing her changes, Cheng Xiaohao couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Well, it's also a little hobby of mine." ”

Ning Wenyu admired: "Now, I really believe that you are a descendant of a master outside the world." ”

Hehe, of course, outside the world, the 21st century outside this world.

The two entered the building and came to the wing room where Zhang Shun and Master Ning were, only to find that the two were drinking, and both of them were a little delirious.

Seeing Cheng Xiaohao and Ning Wenyu coming back, the two of them didn't stop, and they were still guessing and drinking.

Cheng Xiaohao exclaimed: "I can't see it, Mr. Ning is such a polite person, and he is so bold when he drinks wine." ”

Ning Wenyu sneered: "Don't you know that as a citizen of the Song Dynasty, no matter men, women, young or old, if anyone doesn't drink a little, they will be laughed at." ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "I'm not very good at drinking. ”

Hearing this, Ning Wenyu was very surprised: "You don't know how to drink?" ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "Hahaha, because my family is more strict, I am generally not allowed to drink." ”

Moreover, for Cheng Xiaohao, wine is indeed not good, at least compared to all kinds of drinks, he prefers drinks. Besides, looking at the bellies of those elders who love to drink for three months, he never wants to touch wine.

At most, a taste of it!

Ning Wenyu: "That's not good." In the future, whether you are from literature or martial arts, wine will be an indispensable tool. ”

It's the same as the modern wine table culture.

Cheng Xiaohao: "I don't want to be from literature, and I don't want to be from martial arts." ”

Ning Wenyu was puzzled: "But you have your back to Zhang Dutong, and you have a good painting skill." You don't follow the martial arts, nor do you follow the text. So what do you want to do? ”

Cheng Xiaohao thought for a while and asked, "How about you say I should be a painter?" ”

Ning Wenyu: "You really don't want to join the company?" It's unbelievable. ”

Cheng Xiaohao touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Everyone has their own ambitions." ”

In fact, the main thing is that Cheng Xiaohao also understands one thing, that is, he has no foundation now. In the ancient imperial court, the open and secret battles were very fierce, and the light was to lose the official position, and the heavy was to have no head.

That's a kind of self-knowledge.

Now he just wants to make money, no matter what time it is, having money is always a thing that can make people feel at ease.

After confessing to several servants to take care of the two drunkards in the house, the two walked out of the room full of alcohol.

Cheng Xiaohao: "By the way, how much do you think my painting can sell?" ”

Ning Wenyu: "It's hard to say, it mainly depends on whether anyone likes it." If you meet someone you like, you may be able to sell it for a lot of money. If you just take it to the pawnshop and meet the owner of the shop who doesn't know the goods and doesn't like to paint, you may only be able to sell it for a few dozen dollars. ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "Ah! Is it so unstable? Wouldn't they be amazed at my painting skills, which have never been seen before or since? ”

"Poof—"

Ning Wenyu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Well, what to say."

She paused, looked at the confident and triumphant young man, and decided to tell him the truth a little unbearable.

"It's a good drawing, but it's not your original technique."

"Charcoal paintings have been around for a long time."

"The things on the charcoal painting are indeed more delicate and vivid than those painted in ink. But in terms of artistic conception, there is still a lot less. ”

"To sum up in the words of the predecessors, that is, there is nothing in its appearance, and it is not in its charm."

Cheng Xiaohao was shocked: "What! Did I have a sketch before me? ”

No, the time of the sketch is indeed not the Song Dynasty, he remembers that it seems to be modern times.

Ning Wenyu: "It turns out that you call the charcoal drawing what kind of sketch it is?" Which sketch and which drawing? ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "I don't know each other, and I understate it." ”

Ning Wenyu was surprised: "I have never heard of the two idioms you just made. But it sounds quite charming, I don't know which words. ”

Cheng Xiaohao thought about it, he didn't know which words were before the Song Dynasty and which words were after the Song Dynasty, so he explained them to Ning Wenyu one by one.

After a long while, Ning Wenyu understood what he meant, and then he was amazed, and praised Cheng Xiaohao for his talent, and Cheng Xiaohao was embarrassed.

Ning Wenyu returned the scroll in his hand to Cheng Xiaohao.

"By the way, there is another most important reason, that is, charcoal paintings cannot be preserved for long, and it will not take long for the best paintings to gradually blur."

"This is one of the reasons why pawnshops generally don't accept charcoal drawings, because if you can't sell them as soon as possible, then maybe the charcoal drawings will be ruined in your own hands, and that is a loss-making transaction."

Cheng Xiaohao was stunned.

"I see, I see."

"But I think there will still be people who like this painting and don't care about its collectible value."

Cheng Xiaohao looked at the scroll in his hand, suddenly handed it to Ning Wenyu, and said with a smile: "You should be one of them, I'll give you this painting." ”

Ning Wenyu thought she had heard it wrong, and she asked a little overwhelmed: "Ah! You, you're going to give it to me? ”

Cheng Xiaohao nodded, and then stuffed the scroll into her hand: "Well, I've sent it to you." ”

Ning Wenyu hurriedly shook his head and returned the scroll to Cheng Xiaohao: "No, no." This kind of inspirational painting is of extraordinary value, and I can't afford it. You don't have to worry about not being able to sell, if you are really worried, I can also find a good buyer for you. ”

Oh! That's a good dare, the market is guaranteed!

Haha, it's really unintentional.

Cheng Xiaohao handed the scroll to her again: "Take it, just as I apologize for offending you before." As for painting, since I can paint the first picture, I believe that I can paint the second. ”

Ning Wenyu hesitated for a while, but still accepted it with a happy face.

"I do like this painting very much. The apology you mentioned is too valuable, I shouldn't have accepted it, and I should have paid another sum of money to buy it, but I was really shy in my pocket. ”

At this, she blushed, then raised her head again, and swore a promise: "If you paint a second one, I will do my best to find a good buyer for you." ”

Cheng Xiaohao laughed: "Hahaha, that's naturally good." ”

Ning Wenyu: "It's not too early, then you should rest early." ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "Well, you too." ”
