At the feast, there was a small wooden table in front of everyone, and the food on the table was the same. Wei Hong's position is exactly opposite Li Ye, and he belongs to the last seat. Although Wei Hong has an important position in Li Xiehe's heart, when it comes to the dignity of the elders and the inferior, and the difference in identity, Wei Hong cannot be compared with others, and it is reasonable to sit in the last seat. Since the beginning of the banquet, Li Xiehe and Fang Zhizhi have endless words, and the topic mainly revolves around the north and south of Beijing and Hangzhou. Wei Hong and Li Ye mainly talked about sewing machines, as for the eldest lady and the second miss, they didn't say a word from beginning to end, and they didn't seem to plan to make a big fuss about the jade bottle.

The maid waited, and as soon as she took a sip of the wine, it was poured. As soon as I took a bite of the rice, I changed to a new stack of dishes. This kind of extravagant flowing water banquet made Wei Hong secretly speechless, the cost of this meal alone was enough for hundreds of beggars to eat for a month. Although he resisted this kind of extravagant and extravagant life in his heart, Wei Hong didn't want to ruin everyone's interest on this occasion, so he let it go.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and the business topic was almost over, everyone began to shift the topic to life. Fang Yizhi, who had been talking to Li Xiehe, suddenly focused his attention on Wei Hong: "Master Wei, Fang is so polite." A few days ago, I heard my uncle talk about your sewing machine, Fang was very interested, I don't know where Wei Gongzi's idea to make a sewing machine came from? ”

Wei Hong smiled back: "I don't dare to deceive Fang Gongzi, in fact, Wei has been lying on the bed for a while, relying on the insiders to sew and mend to make some money to supplement the family." Wei's original intention of manufacturing a sewing machine is very simple, it is completely to make it easier for insiders to no longer have to work hard to sew clothes. ”

Seeing that Wei Hong's feelings were sincere, and it didn't seem to be a lie, Fang Yi nodded thoughtfully: "Wei Gongzi is not only talented and quick-witted, but also a loving and righteous person, Fang admires it!" By the way, when I came, I heard my uncle say that recently the people of Hangzhou City said that Wei Gongzi's painting skills were amazing, and he only used charcoal to draw a character painting with a god form. I wonder if Wei Gongzi can take out this painting and let Fang enjoy it? ”

It's not a big deal, but the painting has been given to Wan Niang, and now Wan Niang is like a baby with that painting. If you want to take it out for everyone to enjoy, you have to ask Wan Niang what she means first. Wei Hong thought about it again and again, and didn't want to lose Fang Zhizhi's face, so he instructed the servant to inform Wan Niang of the matter and let Wan Niang take out the painting for the time being. Although Wan Niang cherished the painting, she was also reasonable, and the servant brought it back as soon as she went. Wait until the servant stands in the midst of the crowd and unfolds the scroll. Wan Niang poured the country and the city, and when the vivid honor was displayed in front of everyone, everyone held their breath, and their eyes were full of amazing looks, even Li Xuanqing, who had always been very indifferent.

Except for Fang Yizhi and Li Xuanqing, the rest of the people recognized the woman on the picture scroll as Wanniang at a glance. The man sighed at Wei Hong's ghostly painting skills, while the woman was jealous and jealous.

Fang Yi looked at the scroll, was amazed, and sighed: "Wei Gongzi's hand alone, even the royal painters in the palace can't be compared, and there are few people in the world who can compare to Wei Gongzi!" Awesome, really awesome! I don't know Wei Gongzi's 'sketch' painting skills, who is the teacher? "Although Fang Yizhi is a celebrity in the capital, he is a son after all, and he can't resist things like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Now I ask Wei Hong who he is learning from, just to learn this sketching technique, and when he returns to the capital, he can show off in front of those pompous children.

Wei Hong originally wanted to make up a master, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it, after all, lies should be told less, and a small lie needs a big lie to be rounded, and there is no need to make trouble for himself. Wei Hong said without thinking: "Don't hide it from the son, in fact, Wei is self-taught......"

"Huh? Self-taught? So, Wei Gongzi is the founder of this sketch? Fang Zhizhi was shocked or shocked. In the form of this sketch painting, it can definitely be in a class of its own. If this sketch was really created by Wei Hong, then Wei Hong is really a rare genius!

Wei Hong didn't speak, and he acquiesced to the title of the founder of the mountain. Wei Hong knows that he is very shameless, but who makes it now the first year of Zhenguan, and the great gods of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo have not yet been born, even if they want to be held responsible, it should be that Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo copied Wei Hong's painting form......

Wan Niang's sketch portrait can be described as a bombshell, setting off waves at the banquet. Everyone has to take the scroll in front of them and take a closer look. After appreciating, you have to take out time to taste, reminisce, and sigh alone. After Li Xuanqing read it, she was also very surprised, held her head and thought for a while, and asked Wei Hong: "Wei Gongzi, this sketch is indeed incredible, but the color is too simple, I don't know if other colors can be used in the sketch?" If the color is appropriate, it will be more in line with the realistic surname of the sketch. ”

The eldest lady really deserves to be the eldest lady, and her words are straight to the point. Wei Hongyan said: "Sketching is about figuration and space, if you mix and match several colors, it can have some visual impact, but it will be distorted. ”

"I see." Li Xuanqing nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything more.

Collected the sketch and sent it back, while everyone was still immersed in the art of sketching, Li Ye stared at Wei Hong with golden eyes, and asked very curiously: "Wei Gongzi, is there a business opportunity for this sketch?" ”

Wei Hong smiled indifferently: "Naturally, there are business opportunities, don't talk about sketching, all over the world, as long as things related to people, there are business opportunities to be found." But the craftsmanship required for sketching is too high, and it is too complex, and the only way to make a lot of money is to open an academy and teach sketching skills openly, but this requires a lot of energy, and only I can teach, which is not in line with our current situation. Sketching can only be regarded as a pastime, if we want to make money, we still have to do industry, mainly to develop the sewing machine business. ”

Hearing this, Li Ye felt a little sorry. If this sketch can be carried forward, it will definitely set off a trend among the literati, and the huge business opportunities contained in it cannot be underestimated.

When Wei Hong was talking to Li Ye, he didn't notice that Li Ruohua not far away had been staring at him. The eyes are complex, yearning, jealousy, admiration, obsession, all kinds of expressions converge in Li Ruohua's eyes. Wan Niang's watery surname is quite well received in the Li family, but at this time, Li Ruohua is competing with Wan Niang in her heart.
