Chapter 237: Painting

The prairie of the green plain is vast and boundless, and the end of the grassland is connected to the horizon at a glance.

Breathing in the air with a hint of grassy smell, Jiang Long rode on the back of the snowfield, looking far away, his eyes patrolling around.

In the distance was a patch of dark green.

Nearby, blue-purple irises bloom and dandelion seeds flutter in the air.

After galloping for a while, he came to a small hill, and Jiang Long jumped off his horse.

The grass is dense and almost knee-high.

"Little master?" Hei Rui was faster, so Qin Yu was the first to catch up, and asked with a puzzled face.

Jiang Long waved his hand and looked into the distance, a cliff towering, "Before I came, I promised the old lady to draw a picture of the grassland and send it back, but now it is the end of May, and it is almost June, and the grass here is growing gratifying."

Flowers are in full bloom, and it's a good time to paint. ”

Qin Yu understood.

When Tudu and Gunty Buck and Fan Ren caught up, Qin Yu took the initiative to step forward and tell him.

When Tudu and Gunty Buck heard this, they remembered their family in Jingfu.

Fan Ren nodded secretly, it seems that this Jing Jianglong is not only a good official, but also a very filial person.

Now, Fan Ren's impression of Jianglong has changed greatly.

When I was in the capital, I once saw King Huai killing people at every turn, which made Fan Ren have a trace of estrangement from Jiang Long and Chai Shirong.

Looking at the prairie in front of him, Jiang Long did not immediately start writing.

This is located on the border between the alien races in northern Xinjiang and the Great Qi, and if it is just a real scene painting, it is too monotonous.

There are no cities, no alien felt tents, no horses and sheep, what to paint?

Just painting grass, flowers, blue sky and white clouds?

At most, add one more bird in the air.

This is obviously not a no-go.

To paint the grassland, it is necessary to have the felt tents of aliens, as well as horses and sheep.

For three days in a row, Jiang Long would look around the grassland after being busy, and on the fourth day, he saw the herd of wild horses, slowly walking towards this place from the depths of the grassland.

This wild horse herd composed of more than a thousand wild horses is no longer afraid of Jiang Long and others.

Looking at the herd of wild horses, Jiang Long finally had a general idea in his mind about the prairie map he was going to draw.

After a while, the herd of wild horses approached.

Because they were familiar with it, a few daring mares came to the snowfield to offer their courtesy.

Still not interested in these ordinary mares, Snow Field snorted and stepped aside with graceful steps.

Hei Rui's vision is obviously lower.

Looking at a few mares, it actually has a little meaning.

A few mares stepped forward and surrounded Herui, grinding their necks and arching their heads.

The mare's eyes were shining, and Heirui was triumphant.

The head of the herd kept his head down and graze, oblivious to the situation.

Snow and Heirui, it can't afford to provoke any of them.

Jiang Long stood in the knee-high grass with his hands behind his back, watching the horses graze for a while, and watching a few mares frolicking with Heirui.

Coupled with his own associations, a picture of the Jingjing grassland is gradually formed in his mind.

Summoning the snowfield, Jiang Long rode on horseback, followed the wild horses, and slowly walked towards the Hunhe River.

"Tudu, you go and get the grain and grass that you prepared earlier."

Tudu said yes, and rode away.

Jiang Long's idea of beating this group of wild horses is no longer a day or two, first get familiar with the wild horses, and now he can start.

By the time Jiang Long came to the bank of the river with the herd of wild horses, Tudu was already waiting here with several officials.

Next to a few people, there were more than a dozen bags of grain.

It's all whole grains, but the wild horses like to eat it very much.

At this time, wild horses have also become accustomed to coming here to drink water, and Jiang Long feeds them with coarse grains.

The wild horses first stood on the shore to drink water, and Jiang Long instructed several officials to open the sacks, and then several of them each carried a sack, and sprinkled the coarse grain on the ground as they retreated.

What Jiang Long ordered, the officials naturally did not dare to be the slightest bit lazy, and they did it one after another.

It didn't take much effort, and a few officials withdrew more than a mile later.

There are several straight lines left on the ground made up of grain.

At this time, the wild horses finished drinking one after another, and came to the front to eat the coarse grain on the ground.

While eating, walk forward.

Jiang Long rode on the snowfield, walking at the back of the wild horse herd.

Tudu, Guntybak, Fan Ren, and Qin Yu walked on both sides of the wild horse herd, and if there were wild horses wanting to leave, they raised their whips to stop them, because the range of action to stop them was not large, and most of the wild horses were gluttonous and focused on competing for coarse grain, so the wild horse herd was not frightened.

After a pillar of incense, Jiang Long looked at the group of wild horses and walked into the pre-dug horse pen one by one.

This stall is on an open grassland, with an area of 100 acres.

It was Jianglong who sent a part of Minzhuang to plant it in advance.

The fence is about six feet high, and even wild horses can't jump over it.

Of course, this height can only stop ordinary wild horses, and if it is replaced by a snowfield, even if you carry a river dragon, you can easily jump over a six-foot-high fence.

Because the stall area is very large, the wild horses were not immediately noticed to be trapped.

After eating the whole grain, he lowered his head and went to eat the grass.

Jiang Long deliberately chose this place with lush grass, enough for these wild horses to eat for a while.

Ordinary wild horses have no spirituality, although they are more intelligent than other animals, but because the area of the horse pen is large enough, they just lower their heads around the edge of the fence, grazing in circles, and do not find anything wrong in a short time.

However, Jiang Long knew very well that by tomorrow, these wild horses would not be so well-behaved.

Wild horses have the habits of wild horses, they have their own territory, and if they still can't get out tomorrow, they will find out what the problem is.

It is a habit for them to walk around the territory every day, eat grass, and go to the river to drink.

It's definitely uncomfortable to be locked up here all of a sudden, and your habits are broken.

At that time, you will inevitably have to run and jump, and you will have to scream for a while.

It is precisely because he knew that this would be the case, so Jiang Long designed the fence so high.

Seeing more than 1,000 wild horses all entered the fence, Tudu, Gunty Buck and others were also very happy, this is not a small fortune.

The average price of an ordinary horse in northern Xinjiang is about 20 taels, which is worth 20,000 taels.

And if it is transported all the way to the capital, a horse can be sold for forty or fifty taels.

The total price is forty or fifty thousand taels.

Jiang Long cooperated with the Chai family and severely pit An Lehou on the gambling table, but he only won more than 100,000 taels of silver with his gambling skills.

Then you have to act, use stratagem, cheat, and use a large amount of money to lure An Lehou into being deceived.

But now?

Just fence it around, sprinkle some coarse grain and tens of thousands of taels of silver, and you'll be able to get it.

The neighborhood is deserted, so you don't have to worry about anyone stealing it, so you don't have to keep a vigil.

After smiling and watching outside the horse pen for a while, Jiang Long led everyone back to the county seat.

returned to the city and discussed political affairs with Cheng Ze and others for a while, the sky was dark, and Jiang Long came to the backyard.

Dai Lisi ordered someone to bring the hot food to the table, looking at Jiang Long's face, which had gradually turned black and thin after being exposed to the wind and sun, she was inexplicably a little distressed.

But this kind of emotion, she doesn't show on her face.

It's just that when he was serving vegetables, he frequently sandwiched some meat dishes for Jiang Long.

Jiang Long has been busy for a while, his feet don't touch the ground, his physical consumption is very large, he doesn't eat more meat, he really can't eat enough, he quickly picks up rice, and he has an appetite.

After dinner, Jiang Long said that there was something, so he came to the study alone.

Sit down at your desk and start grinding slowly.

After watching the scenery of the grassland for several days, and today he found inspiration from the wild horse herd, and Jiang Long plans to paint it today.

Although he often communicated with Jingfu, he knew that Mrs. Jing and Lin Ya must be very worried about himself, so he sent the painting back to the house and wrote a longer letter to his family, so as to calm the hearts of Mrs. Jing and Lin Ya.

It's not so easy to draw a good picture.

Not only must you have good painting skills, but you must also draw with charm.

While studying black, Jiang Long conceived about the structure of the whole painting and where to put the pen.

Pondering and brewing before the painting, nearly half an hour passed.

After the bamboo in his chest, Jiang Long spread out the white paper on the table, dipped the pen in ink, and the pen was like flowing water.

Accumulation, pen, draw, fill, trace, close......

Coherent!

Putting down the brush in his hand, Jiang Long picked up the oil lamp and examined it carefully, but there was a leak in the brush.

After a while, I was very satisfied with the oil lamp and put it back in its place.

Before the ink dried, Jiang Long simply put it on the table and let him dry by himself, while he yawned and went back to the bedroom to rest.

I'm going to be busy tomorrow.

Not long after Jiang Long's front foot left, Dai Lisi took the old woman's arm and walked into the study with her back foot.

The old woman blew the fire fold she carried with her and lit the fuel lamp.

The room, which had just been plunged into darkness for a short time, suddenly lit up.

Delith walked to the table, looked away, and saw the picture of the Jingjing grassland.

After a little look, the beautiful eyes are full of brilliance.

"I didn't expect this Jingjianglong to be able to paint!" Delis spoke, and bent down to look closely, and stretched out her fingers, following the stroke of the brush, tracing in the air.

The old woman came closer, glanced at the picture of the Jingjing grassland, and nodded in agreement.

Even if she has a critical eye, she can't find fault with the painting.

Before Jiang Long, he had recited poems, written stories, went through business, and set up a game on the gambling table, and cheated An Lehou, Dai Lisi knew about it, and knew that Jiang Long's gambling skills were also very good, and now Jiang Long has a good Danqing ability, which really amazed her.

At the same time, I was curious, did Jiang Long have any other skills, and he didn't show himself in front of others?

After looking at a painting in the study, Delis didn't bother Jiang Long and went back to her cabin to rest.

The next day, Jiang Long went out of the city early, and heard the wild horses neighing in the fence from afar, and rode the snow field to the front and back, and saw the wild horses running around the fence and circling in circles, which was very unaccustomed to staying in one place.

Wild animals are used to being free, and if the place is too small, they are likely to get sick and die.

This is the main reason why Jianglong fenced the fence so big.

Because they are not used to it, these wild horses are all in a bad mood and seem very irritable.

If two horses running side by side accidentally touch each other, they will bite and fight.

This one is very easy to get hurt.

So Jiang Long opened the door and hurriedly put Xue Yuan and Hei Rui in.
