Chapter Ninety-Eight: Defeating the Crowd
Li Ce asked Guan Zhen for a knife, and he cut a piece of charcoal into thin strips with a brush, and he wanted to use this to make charcoal and draw a sketch. He tried to draw twice on a piece of paper, and although it was a little rough, it was good to have this in a hurry.
"Flower girl, are you ready? This kung fu girl with incense can't move. Li Ce asked.
"Is this what Childe paints with?" Hua Ruonu hesitated a little, she looked at Li Ce holding the thin strip of charcoal in his hand and was a little puzzled.
"That's right." Li Ce smiled and showed a confident smile.
"Well, okay, let's get started." Hua Ruonu stopped being verbose, turned sideways, and did not move.
"Brother Pei saw it, right? This Oiran clearly made an appointment with that Li Ce, which is why he indulged him so much. Ma Wencheng fanned the flames on the side, wanting to provoke the contradiction between Pei Zhiyun and Li Ce.
"It's okay, he paints like this, it's funny, let's see." Pei Zhiyun was not angry, he loved to paint, and when he saw that Li Ce actually used charcoal as a paintbrush, he was a little curious and wanted to see what was going on.
Ma Wencheng was stunned, glared at Li Ce with resentment, and couldn't wait to eat him raw.
Li Ce carefully looked at Hua Ruonu, sketching the outline and proportions in his heart, from her hair bun to her nose and eyes, to her chin and collarbone, after looking at a full cup of tea, he finally determined the void and reality, tone and texture, and then began to write.
At this time, someone next to him was already stunned, "Damn, this kid is a good boy, he actually stares blatantly in the name of painting, it's really enjoyable, why didn't I think of it?!" As he spoke, he was so annoyed that he couldn't do it.
Li Ce devoted himself to painting, and at this time he had long ignored the voices around him, and now his eyes only looked at Hua Ruonu who was sitting quietly. He held the carbon bar in his hand and glanced at Hua Ruonu and sketched it on the paper a few times, someone wanted to step forward to take a look, but was frightened back by Guan Zhen's big eyes.
Guan Zhen looked down at himself, but his eyes were wide, and his eyeballs almost fell out! What do you paint, brother, do you paint people or wood? This...... This painting skill is too bad, isn't it? Seeing that Li Ce's drawing paper was full of lines, all brushed like weeds and dead wood, he couldn't help but whisper: "Senior brother, you are painting wood." ”
Li Ce ignored him and continued to focus on depicting, and Guan Zhen was bored with himself, so he had to fiddle with the knife in his hand.
Seeing that most of the time had passed, everyone was secretly scolding Li Ce for delaying time at first, but later found that Hua Ruonu was sitting there motionless, just in time to take the opportunity to feast her eyes, so they stared at her like hungry wolves.
Hua Ruonu sat there quietly, looking at Li Ce's attentive appearance, seeing him look at himself and move his pen a few times, I don't know what he had painted himself...... In the past, there were people who painted for themselves, but after painting for themselves, they were attracted by their own appearance, and they could feel the change in their eyes.
But Li Ce is different from them, he has been concentrating on painting from beginning to end, and there is no trace of blasphemy in his eyes when he looks at him, as if he is just a sculpture.
"Wow, that's it!" Hua Ruonu was thinking about it, but when he saw Li Ce throw the carbon bar in his hand, he clapped his hands and stood up. He's done with it? I don't know what he's drawn up against......
Everyone looked at each other, this kid finished painting? It's less than a stick of incense, so in such a hurry, I don't know what he painted.
Miss Lan'er walked over first, "Come, let my sister take a look first." She teased Li Ce, and as soon as she stretched out her hand and turned the drawing board, she was stunned by this look, and the smile on her face instantly froze, "This...... This ......" she lost her mind and looked at the person in the painting, then looked back at Hua Ruonu, and looked at Li Ce with a look of disbelief.
Everyone was confused by her successive performances, how did you draw it, Miss Lan'er, you are talking!
Hua Ruonu was also very anxious in her heart, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Sister Lan'er, you can bring it." ”
Lan'er woke up from the shock, she took the drawing board and turned around and walked back, just took two steps but turned around and hesitated: "Li Gongzi is talented, the slave family admires it very much, and the slave family ...... The slave family also wants to boldly ask the son to draw a ...... for the slave family" After speaking, she blushed and looked at Li Ce expectantly, afraid that he would refuse.
Li Ce smiled and said: "I would like to thank Sister Lan'er for providing a drawing board today, since Sister Lan'er likes it, then I will draw one for Sister Lan'er another day, as long as Sister Lan'er doesn't think I am ugly, haha......"
Lan'er listened to him scream one by one, and she agreed so happily, she threw a wink at Li Ce, grinned, twisted her body and walked back quickly.
Everyone was anxious by the two of them, how did the painting go, you watched the two of them praising each other here.
As soon as Lan'er came back, Hua Ruonu couldn't help but take the drawing board, and she was so shocked that she covered her mouth with her bare hands, and looked at the person in the painting with big eyes in disbelief...... It's so similar, it's like looking in the mirror yourself, how did he do it? Hua Ruonu looked up at Li Ce in surprise, only to see him smiling at him. When Li Ce saw Hua Ruonu's reaction, he knew that he had drawn well.
All the women also covered their mouths and exclaimed, the paintings at that time were all made of brushes, paying attention to the artistic conception, and pursuing the resemblance rather than the likeness, Li Ce's sketch, just like the black and white photo, is very similar to Hua Ruonu herself, and this painting has a strong sense of three-dimensionality, extremely vivid, at first glance it is the image projected in her own mirror, how not to make them exclaim.
The people on the side had already been itched by them, and they gathered one after another. This look is also a big surprise, a miracle!
Pei Zhiyun looked at the painting, first startled, and then muttered to himself in a somewhat distracted manner: "Today, I know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people......
"Pei Gongzi, his painting ......" Ma Wencheng wanted to ridicule Li Ce, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Pei Zhiyun interrupted him with a wave of his hand, he stared at the painting for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "I waited all day long to sit in the well and watch the sky, blind and arrogant, today I finally understood the teaching, Pei was convinced." With that, he was so disappointed that he took the painting from before him, reached out and tore it up. Seeing this, Ma Wencheng couldn't say anything more, so he had to glare at Li Ce with resentment, and looking at the way everyone praised him, the jealousy in his heart burned.
"Everyone, be quiet, my young lady has something to say." Cui'er shouted. Everyone stopped discussing and looked at Hua Ruonu again.
"Thank you for coming to the scene today, the little girl is here to thank you." After Hua Ruonu finished speaking, he got up and saluted, and continued: "The slave family has a choice in their hearts, and I ask Li Gongzi to stay, please go back." ”
Everyone sighed and got off the stage, Li Ce showed such a magic skill, and they had nothing to say.
The old bustard was so annoyed on the side, this dead girl finally chose this poor ghost, it was really in vain for my mother's cultivation, seeing that the hundreds of taels of silver in his hand flew like this, this Li Ce is really his own disaster star! Annoyance to chagrin, she did not forget to invite the other girls to greet these prostitutes, but don't let them go like this, today they all came with gold and silver treasures, and since they have come in, they must find ways to leave him behind.
Pei Zhiyun stepped forward and said: "I can't imagine that Brother Li is still a master in the painting, and this is the first time I have seen such a magical brother, I don't know who Brother Li is taught by?" "He loves painting, and he wants to apprentice.
Li Ce said bluntly: "The Great Song Dynasty has no one else except me, and there is no one else, it is not a secret, this is created by the next, there is no master." Li Ce deliberately pretended to be calm, but in fact, he was very proud in his heart, this little white face wanted to learn this craft.
Pei Zhiyun was shocked, so Li Ce is the founding patriarch of this faction, he has such achievements at a young age, and he is far worse than others.
The old bustard came up impatiently to greet Pei Zhiyun on the side, she knew that Pei Zhiyun's family was powerful, and she didn't come out on top today, so don't annoy him. Pei Zhiyun stretched out his hand to stop her from coming over and said, "Mother Yang, although she is busy, I will talk to Brother Li." The old bustard had to stand aside in embarrassment.
"In this way, how about Brother Li sell this painting to Zaixia? I'm willing to pay five hundred taels. Pei Zhiyun said sincerely.
The old bustard was originally on the side, looking like he was going to die, but when he heard five hundred taels, his eyes instantly lit up.
"Oh, Pei Gongzi is really generous." The old bustard said flatteringly.
"Huh...... Brother Pei asked the wrong person, the painting was given to the flower girl, and the painting is now hers. Li Ce said.
"So is the flower girl willing to cut her love?" Pei Zhiyun turned to Hua Ruonu again.
"If you want to disappoint Pei Gongzi, the daughter of the slave family will not be sold." Hua Ruonu said lightly, she carefully took off the drawing paper and put it away carefully.
"Oh, Pei Gongzi, don't listen to her." When the old bustard heard that Hua Ruonu was not for sale, he hurriedly appeased Pei Zhiyun and squeezed his eyebrows at Hua Ruonu.
"Mother Yang, you don't have to say more, this painting will not be sold if it is a slave anyway, and my daughter will not make you less money on weekdays, but this time it will not work." Hua Ruonu is soft and hard, and her attitude is very firm.
The old bustard knew that she had always been stubborn, and once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it, but when she thought of five hundred taels of silver, her heart twitched, but she couldn't turn her face with her, after all, she was the Oiran in the building, and she would have to count on her to make money in the future, so she had to stare at her twice, stomp her feet and leave.
"Haha...... Since this is the case, then Pei will not win people's love, Brother Li is proud of the spring breeze today, so he will not bother in the future, and I hope to visit Brother Li when I am free in the future. "Pei Zhiyun is worthy of being a scholar with a good upbringing, and he is not annoyed when he is repeatedly rejected.
"Well said, well said." Li Ce said politely, he saw that Pei Zhiyun had always been courteous to him, and his impression of him had changed a little, although he came with Ma Wencheng, it seemed that he didn't care much about Ma Wencheng.
"Childe, please follow the slave family to the boudoir." Hua Ruonu said coquettishly.
The beauty invited, how could he refuse, and if he didn't go, it would be difficult to guarantee that the old bustard would not arrange other men, wouldn't that hurt Hua Ruonu? This guy quickly convinced himself that I wasn't, I was just helping people to the end......
