Lin Wanrong was surprised in her heart, this old man Luo, what the hell are you doing, I am here to see you, but not to see your daughter, even if you want to pimp, don't be so blatant, this son is a serious person.

"So Miss Luo is also here." Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Didn't Lord Luo call me here?" But why didn't you see anyone? ”

Luo Ning nodded and said, "Dad just went to the embankment to investigate, and asked Brother Lin to stay for a while." ”

Lin Wanrong nodded and glanced around. It turned out that the place where Luo Min asked him to come turned out to be the Xiaguan River Embankment. At this time, it is winter, it is the dry season of the Yangtze River, the river water has receded a lot, but the loess and mud on both sides of the river, the traces of the flood can still be seen.

Thousands of civilians, rolling up their sleeves and trouser legs, carried mud and sand through the mud and towards the shore. Thousands of other people, armed with various excavation tools, filled the embankment with earth and strengthened and widened it.

This scene made Lin Wanrong suddenly think of the water conservancy repair that he often saw in his previous life. He grew up on the banks of the Han River and has a clear understanding of the importance of this water conservancy. Looking at the scene in front of him, a sense of intimacy suddenly swelled in his heart. These ordinary people, they dress plainly and eat chaff, but in Lin Wanrong's eyes, this is their relatives, they are countless times kinder than those bullshit geniuses and talented women.

It's just that there are a lot of people on the big lift, but the tools are backward and inefficient, and I don't know how much time it will take to make this levee higher. Lin Wanrong was also a little anxious when she looked at the ground.

This old man Luo. What did you call me here for? You don't want me to donate money, do you? Damn, this old man is very cunning, and he has spotted Lao Tzu's veins.

Seeing that Luo Ning was still standing next to her, Lin Wanrong said, "Miss Luo, do you know what Lord Luo asked me to do?" ”

Luo Ning smiled mysteriously: "Daddy will talk to you later." ”

Lin Wanrong saw that she was smiling very mysteriously, and knew that she must know. But looking at her smug look, if she asked, she would definitely not say it.

He sighed, stopped talking to Luo Ning, and walked up to the embankment. The thick feeling of the dignified earth made him feel a little excited. I'm a kid from the Yangtze River, and his eyes are a little moist.

Luo Ning saw that his expression was excited, and hurriedly asked softly, "Brother Lin, are you okay?" ”

Lin Wanrong sniffed. smiled: "It's okay, it's just windy, a little uncomfortable." By the way, Miss Luo, what are you doing here? ”

"I came with my colleagues from the book club." Luo Ning pointed to the high slope in the distance, where there was a long row of tables with a long sheet of rice paper on the table. The talented women of the Jinling Book Society are splashing ink, looking like that, they seem to be painting an overall picture.

The strong men who carried the sediment kept walking by the side of the book, and this group of young ladies did not see it.

In the midst of the crowd. There was a woman who looked very eye-catching, wearing a dark red official uniform, looking delicate and delicate, it was the young lady Wanying. This little lady sneaked out during office hours again, what a waste of Lao Tzu's food. However, she put on a fiery red fast hunting suit, and she was really a little wild. Lin Wanrong secretly commented.

He also saw Hou Yuebai and Yu Wenpo. The two of them were flying like a pen, and there was a burst of applause around them, and that Wanying stood beside Hou Yuebai, clapping continuously. His eyes were full of adoration.

Damn, the common people sweat like rain to contribute to this embankment, and it is the interests of you rich and noble officials who protect it, but you still have the leisure to come here to paint for fun, and you really eat food for nothing. Lin Wanrong snorted heavily, the kind of civilian plot in his bones made him really can't see such a scene, and he was about to leave with light steps.

Luo Ning seemed to know what was on his mind, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Lin, don't misunderstand, we are not here to play." ”

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Miss Luo, what are you doing, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Luo Ning said: "Brother Lin, do you remember the charity auction you told me that day, the effect was very good, and everyone's interest was also very high. In recent days, the silver of this river defense is about to run out, and my father is worried, so I remembered what you said, if you bring the people of our book club together to make an overall river defense picture scroll, and then sell it, wouldn't you be able to contribute to this river defense? ”

In all fairness, this Luo Ning is not squeamish and ambitious, which is very rare among women in this era. It's just that she is too idealistic, probably because she has never experienced civilian life.

Luo Ning saw that Lin Wanrong didn't speak, thinking that he didn't believe his words, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Brother Lin, you can go over with me and take a look." ”

Lin Wanrong smiled: "Whether I believe it or not, it doesn't matter." ”

Luo Ning was stubborn, so he pulled his sleeve and went directly to the book club. I have known this Luo Ning for some days, but I have never seen her so out of shape, thinking that this time Lin Wanrong's attitude really stimulated her deeply.

Seeing that this girl had a stubborn personality, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but laugh in her heart, so she said: "Miss Luo, if you hold me like this, don't misunderstand." ”

Luo Ning said stubbornly: "I am innocent with you, I have a clear conscience, what misunderstanding are you afraid of?" "Since you're not afraid, I'm even more afraid, so I'll let her pull her sleeve and walk towards the book club.

Everyone saw that Luo Ning pulled Lin Wanrong over, but their expressions were different. Hou Yuebai's face was not good-looking, but the woman named Wanying was angry and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Lin Wanrong was very annoyed in her heart, damn, do you think I want to get together with you, if I hadn't been forcibly pulled over, where would Lao Tzu have a kung fu bird? Seeing that this chick's tone was not good, he hehehe: "Where did this man come from, how can the patrol go up to this embankment, it is really admirable." Hey, by the way, Miss Wanying, where is your white horse? ”

Wanying said: "What are you looking for my white horse for?" ”

Lin Wanrong said: "It's nothing. It's just that my little black misses her a little. ”

This seemed to be a dumb riddle, and only the two of them could understand it, and Miss Wanying was ashamed and angry, knowing that she could not take advantage of talking to him, so she snorted and ignored him.

Lin Wanrong took a deep breath. Standing in the middle of this group of "elegant" people, he felt very uncomfortable, Lao Tzu is a good housekeeper, how can he get together with this group of people? It's really inexplicable.

Hou Yuebai was angry with Lin Wanrong yesterday. Fang Cai saw Luo Ning's movements from a distance, and his heart was even more uneasy, of course he would not lose his demeanor in front of the beauty, so he said to Luo Ning: "Miss Luo." How about you look at my picture of the distant view of the country? ”

Looking from afar, the green mountains are majestic, faint as ink, looming. When you get closer, there is a deep pool in a bay, rippling blue waves, and green pines and cypresses. Surrounded by peaks, curling smoke, slowly rising, it is indeed a very sight. This Hou Yuebai is worthy of being the first genius in Jinling, and his penmanship and ink are all old.

Luo Ning nodded and praised: "Hou Gongzi's penmanship is sharp. With a unique use of ink, this far-sighted view is truly extraordinary. ”

Hou Yuebai glanced at Lin Wanrong with some pride, and said humbly: "Miss Luo praised it falsely. ”

Luo Ning ignored him and said to Lin Wanrong: "Brother Lin, what do you think?" ”

She had seen Lin Wanrong's unique pencil with her own eyes, and she heard that it was specially prepared for painting, so she naturally knew that Lin Wanrong was an expert in it.

Lin Wanrong saw the high-spirited appearance of Hou Yue's white toes, shook his head helplessly, and said, "The mountain is a good mountain, and the river is a good river." He said eight words. But he didn't say anything.

Miss Wanying was a loyal admirer of Hou Yuebai, and when she heard this, she immediately said, "Lin San, what do you mean by this?" ”

Hou Yue said arrogantly: "Lin San, don't you think there is something wrong with this painting?" ”

Luo Ning saw that Lin Wanrong was reluctant to answer, so she had to say, "Brother Lin, please give me some advice." ”

"I only saw pen and ink, but I didn't see mountains and rivers." Lin Wanrong replied lightly.

Luo Ningmei's eyes lit up, and she came to her senses and said, "Brother Lin, I understand." Are you saying that Hou Gongzi pays too much attention to technique when painting, and instead ignores the essence of the mountains and rivers that are simple and natural? ”

Hou Yuebai's face was pale, he knew his own business, in order to draw this picture of rivers and mountains, he tried his best to do things, his brushwork was gorgeous, and countless techniques were used, but he was in this Lin Sanyi's words. It was Luo Ning who said this, and he didn't dare to refute it, so he had to glare at Lin Wanrong fiercely, and said lightly: "Only the tongue and the ear." ”

Damn, I originally wanted to save some face for your kid, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant, Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Miss Luo, you are only half right." The wind of mountains and rivers competes with people's temperament and experience. If you don't have the ambition to see the world, how can you appreciate the magnificence and vastness of these mountains and rivers? Painting mountains and waters, it is difficult to draw rivers and mountains, throughout the ages, how many pictures of rivers and mountains have been handed down? That's it. ”

This Hou Yuebai is really unlucky, he originally used all his body to draw this map of rivers and mountains, but he wanted to please Luo Ning, where did he know that he had met Lin San's nemesis, these few words, every sentence is reasonable, everyone understands that he has no chance to refute it at all.

But that Wanying snorted and said: "You said it well, this mountain and river map is naturally difficult to draw, and Hou Gongzi can paint to this extent, which is already a rare place in the world." ”

Luo Ning had a deep understanding of Lin Wanrong's words, and her heart moved, pulled him to another painting, and said to Lin Wanrong: "Brother Lin, how about you take a look at this again?" ”

This picture shows the construction of water conservancy on the embankment. In the painting, an old man in ragged clothes, carrying a mud bag on his shoulder, was about to fill it down, but his eyes were staring at the rolling river, and his eyes flashed with a thick sense of worry.

The brushwork of this portrait is delicate and vivid, and the expressions and movements of the characters are very realistic, especially the old man's anxiety about the flooding of the river, which is even more vivid on the paper.

From the eyes of everyone, it can be seen that everyone is very respectful of this portrait, from the character's expression, action and the meaning contained in it, it is very profound, it can be said to be a good work.

Luo Ning looked at Lin Wanrong nervously, waiting for his reply.

Lin Wanrong looked at the portrait and smiled slightly, his opinion was simple and direct, and he only said two words: "Failure!" ”
