Wu Haogu looked at Sister Pan Qijie's appearance seriously, this is a golden hairpin girl, wearing a moon-white placket jacket, a red skirt underneath, and a small lake green girdle around her waist, which looks generous and very cute. Her beautiful and lovely girlish face, with curved eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, happy and hateful, a pair of big and bright eyes, black and white, smart and spirited, with a playful smile.

This girl's figure is a little petite, not as tall as Pan Qiaolian, and her face is also a little baby fat, which looks very pleasing.

In short, this is a cute beautiful girl. And Pan Qiaolian is compared with her, she is a bewitching big sister, but each has its own goodness, it depends on your good bite.

After the little girl finished saluting the "big brother" she had only known for a long time, she looked at Wu Haogu and Mi Youren curiously, and her big eyes blinked, as if asking: Who are you? What do you do in my house?

"This is Brother Mi, this is Brother Wu." Pan Yi introduced, "They are all my friends, and they are also famous talents in Kaifeng Prefecture, proficient in painting. ”

The Song Dynasty did not have a talent to show its fame, and anyone who read could be called a talent.

"Mi Xiucai, Wu Xiucai is blessed." The little girl bent her legs and bowed to the two of them.

Pan Yi pointed at Wu Haogu again, "This Wu Xiucai is also the first painter of Kaifeng Mansion, and he is here to paint for you." ”

"Draw for slaves?" The little girl tilted her head and looked at Wu Haogu like a bird, and her fat little face was full of curious expressions.

Pan Yi smiled and groaned: "What do you see, haven't you seen a talent like Wu Xiucai?" ”

The little girl shook her head, and then smiled at Pan Yi, "Brother, the slave family just hasn't seen such a young painter, in our countryside, painters are all ......"

"Seventh sister!" Pan Yi raised his voice and interrupted Sister Pan Qi, "Hurry up and go to the study with Pan Zhong to learn calligraphy, I will check it at night." ”

"Oh." The little girl answered, and reluctantly turned around and followed the man in Tsing Yi.

And Wu Haogu's face gradually showed a puzzled look. This girl lives in the country? Pan Xiaoyan's daughter, why doesn't she live in Kaifeng Mansion, but she lives in the countryside?

Also, this girl is twelve or thirteen years old, why do you still need her brother to supervise the practice of calligraphy?

When everyone is beautiful, at the age of twelve or thirteen, they have almost finished reading the books they should read. If you continue to study, it's a personal interest. Where do you need to be my brother's supervision? This girl can't take the imperial examination, and it's useless to learn as many poetry books.

Could it be that the Pan family wants to train this little girl to be a talented girl like Li Qingzhao?

"Please, please, please sit down."

Wu Haogu didn't doubt for too long, but was interrupted by Pan Yi's loud greeting.

The guests and hosts quickly sat down separately, and the three female envoys of the Pan family entered Yingying and brought three bowls of tea and a few snacks. The refreshments are packed in the azure porcelain of the kiln, which looks unique.

The fragrance of tea came to the nose, and Wu Haogu knew that it was made of small dragon and phoenix group tea made of fresh and tender tea buds produced in Beiyuan Tea House in Fenghuang Mountain, Fujian. Xiaolongfeng group tea is the famous tea created by Cai Xiang when he was the transfer envoy of Fujian Road, one pound and twenty cakes, extremely precious, at the beginning it was a tribute, only in the palace. However, it is also sold on the market today, but the price is extremely expensive, reaching 20 taels per cake!

In other words, one pound of small dragon and phoenix group tea (twenty cakes) is worth as much as 400 yuan!

Moreover, this is not the best among the famous teas of the Song Dynasty. Nowadays, the most expensive famous tea is called "Xinlongtuan Shengxue", which is also 20 cakes a catty, a cake is worth 40 taels, and the value of a catty of tea is as high as 800 taels!

This is the case in today's Great Song Dynasty, where extravagance prevails. Therefore, the easiest money to make is all kinds of luxury goods, including calligraphy, painting, literature and play.

Wu Haogu picked up the tea bowl of Junyao, tasted the tea brewed with the small dragon and phoenix group, and felt the elegance and extravagance - he never dreamed that one day he would be able to drink hundreds of catties of tea (converted into RMB in later generations, how can it cost tens of thousands) with the porcelain of Junyao.

And this kind of extravagant life is probably the daily life of the rest of my life, which is really corrupt......

"Teacher," Wu Haogu, the apprentice who could enter the Palace Museum by drawing and writing casually, suddenly spoke, "You told me yesterday that you want to show your true skills to draw Sister Pan Qijie, I don't know how the teacher plans to draw it?" ”

"It's not how to draw, it's how to draw it."

"Oh?" Mi Youren said, "The teacher means ......"

Wu Haogu glanced at his apprentice and smiled: "I'm going to paint an oil painting for the master this time." ”

Oil painting is a Western oil painting in the style of hyperrealism! Wu Haogu's best skill in his previous life was also the project he majored in at the Academy of Fine Arts.

But the current Da Song is unique. Therefore, once the oil painting "Portrait of Sister Pan Qi" is created and sent to Duan Wang Zhao Ji, with Zhao Ji's love for painting art, he will definitely come to find Wu Haogu as soon as possible.

When the time comes, if you ask Sister Pan to be a model, you may be able to make Duanwang like this little girl...... If His Royal Highness King Duan really goes to the mouth.

"Oil ...... Oil painting? ”

Mi Youren was stunned and stunned.

Pan Yi smiled and asked, "This oil ...... Is it lard or soybean oil? ”

"It's sesame oil."

"Sesame oil?" Pan Yi thought of fragrant sesame oil - this thing can be used for painting?

"It's sesame oil, not sesame oil." Wu Haogu added, "Does Hu Ma know? ”

Pan Yi and Mi Youren both shook their heads.

"Flax is produced in the West, and sesame oil is the oil squeezed from flax seeds," Wuhao Ancient Road, "The bitter cold land in the northwest is more common, and it is mostly used in medicine in our dynasty, but it is the best grade for blending pigments." ”

The so-called flax is flax, which is an important raw material for Western oil painting, flax seed oil can be used to mix pigments, and the cloth woven from flax can be used as a canvas. Although flax is the earliest natural plant fiber used by human beings, it has not been cultivated in China for a long time, especially in the Central Plains, where flax is almost not cultivated.

Therefore, this sesame oil was obtained by Wu Haogu from Ximen Qing, and was imported from Liao by the Ximen family as a medicinal material.

In addition, Zhang Xizai also told Wu Haogu that there are many kinds of linen on the market, among which there are woven from flax, which were imported into the Great Song Dynasty from the Liao Kingdom and Western Xia, and the quantity is not much, all of them are high-quality products, and the price is naturally not cheap. However, if you use it to paint oil paintings, the price is naturally not a problem.

In addition to flax canvases and sesame oil, the pigments used to paint oil paintings have also been found. Theoretically, Wu Haogu only needed to find the three "primary colors" of red, green, and blue, and then he could mix the other colors he wanted, so as to complete the oil painting creation.

However, in order to get the best color, Wu Haogu still collected as many pigments as possible, and now he has obtained lead white (Chinese painting pigment), earth yellow (stone yellow, traditional Chinese medicine), garcinia cambogia (traditional Chinese medicine), vermilion (Chinese red), carmine (rouge), sky blue (Chinese painting pigment), lapis lazuli (blue), stone blue (blue copper), ochre (black), bone black (baked from animal bones) and other pigments. Although there is still a difference between green and green, it can be blended with yellow pigment and blue pigment.

As for the brushes, Wu Haogu used them to paint as early as Kaifeng Mansion, and the pen master ordered dozens of them.

Therefore, the conditions for creating oil paintings are basically mature, although Pan Suer's little Lori's pink and tender cute appearance can be put on the canvas, and Wang Zhao Ji is in front of him.
