Qin Musi asked me to say that there was something wrong with my painting and that it needed to be improved, and I did it. I thought that I said that there were shortcomings, and they should not buy it, but at the time I sighed that this was indeed a good idea, thinking that he was really a good person, and I also fell into a favor with him, and I thought it was not good to pay it back, after all, it was my own painting skills that were not good.

Bidding in the lobby of the Qingteng Pavilion, there are paintings hanging on the wall at the front of the lobby, and the front is like a stage that is a little higher than the bottom, and there are nearly ten easels standing on the stage, with paintings on the easel, each painting is signed, there is a large table in the center of the stage, and the housekeeper sits in charge.

There is a corridor in front of it, and then there are the seats for the bidders, and the higher the position, the better, about thirty or forty seats. On both sides is the attic of the curtain, which can be viewed from top to bottom, on the left is the people of the Qingteng Pavilion, and on the right side it is generally the top of the family that has a rich family, a family and a reputation and a good relationship with the Qin family to sit on the seat, and then I also inquired, and only those who had a pre-price of more than 5,000 taels were invited to the scene.

When the bidding was about to start, Qin Musi took me into the seat on the left, and he told me not to be anxious and listen to his command.

He said that my painting was in the final finale, and I paid attention to it, and sure enough, everyone was lazy and lazy in the front, and at the end, the atmosphere was suddenly lively, and they were all eyeing each other, shouting the price very strongly, and the starting price was higher than the previous final price.

I once thought that if Zhou Mubai was really in Yudu, his paintings would really be robbed of people.

10,000 taels are still going up, according to the plan, it is time for Qin Musi to play, I look at him, he only smiled unhurriedly, and then lifted the curtain and came out: "Everyone, this rain has not been such a masterpiece for a long time, today Mousse specially invited the painter who painted this painting, Miss Aru." ”

I slowly got up and walked out of the curtain, and according to him, I was a stubborn painter who "felt that this painting was flawed, and I couldn't sell it no matter how high the price was paid". As soon as I came out and before I could speak, the price doubled again.

"Miss Aru, I am willing to pay 30,000 taels of silver."

"Forty thousand taels."

···

Are they all rich? I thought, where did they get all that money?

The price was getting louder and louder, and I hurriedly spoke: "Everyone, this painting is the first work of Aru to be officially released. ”

"The first one can reach such a level of supernatural beauty, and Miss Aru will definitely have a great future."

After that, the price continued to rise, to ten times the original price, and I really think that there must be a lot of losers among these people.

"That's right, this is the first work of Aru officially released, and I think there are still many imperfections, such as... The paper is not good enough, the color is not clear enough, and the paint is not heavy enough..."

To be honest, I really can't pick out the slightest bad thing about Zhou Mubai, the biggest shortcoming of this painting is that it is not original, and it can't be said, it's really embarrassing.

I said a lot one after another, but the price did not go down, and these people only said that I was humble, and said that I had high requirements for paintings, and that the next work was very much expected by them, and some threatened that if this painting could not be bought, he would have to book the next painting in advance.

I looked at Qin Musi, this is not what I imagined!

He smiled slightly: "Everyone, stop first, Miss Aru is my friend, in recent days, she has always felt that this work is not perfect, I also said that she is very demanding, but she just insisted." I thought that since I had taken out all the paintings, I had to sell them. For the sake of both, in this way, Qin is willing to buy this painting with one million taels of silver, but you still have objections. If there is anything, let's bring it up, Miss Aru is a very good friend of Qin, Qin will not embarrass her, please forgive me. ”

After a while, I was as surprised as they were when I heard the number for the first time, and then I thought, he buys and sells, and he doesn't seem to lose money.

"Since Miss Aru can create such a masterpiece, there will definitely be a second and a third, and you don't have to be discouraged, until Miss Aru creates a work that she is satisfied with in the future, it is not too late to share it with everyone."

After a few excuses, the painting finally settled and returned to my hands.

After that, Qin Musi made a special trip to buy a house in the name of my business partner, in order to find a few little maids to serve me. He said that he expected me to create a good work as soon as possible, preferably in the past month, and I responded to it, but I felt that his expectations for me were too high, and he made a loss-making business.

In order to minimize his losses, I had to concentrate on improving my painting skills, otherwise how could I be worthy of others in the future? Not only can you get over it on your face, but you can't get over it on your conscience. That's why I have to work hard to get a good picture.

Hard work is not just lip service, I have copied all the drawings from front to back, hoping to understand from them, no way, it is really natural for me to comprehend it from the back. I get up and go to bed on time every day, between the burden of heavy responsibility, every day is also trembling, my fingers are simply non-stop, I dare not let myself be idle, I feel that this minute and second are money!

The first thing I do when I open my eyes is to paint, I only use a cup of tea for each meal, I drink iced tea when I am sleepy, and I don't dare to think much about anything in my mind all day except painting, and I even dream at night that I am dreaming of painting, how to paint a masterpiece, and I am crazy about it.

My arm is sore, no matter what; The eyes are astringent, no matter what; The fingers are stiff, no matter. I barely spoke all day, I didn't shout when I was hungry or thirsty, and when I was on time, they brought me food, and I continued to paint and think.

Five days later, Qin Musi came to see me, shouted me several times and I didn't hear it, or he personally came over and took away the pen in my hand.

There are some things that I haven't even noticed myself, and they still say it. Qin Musi said, the maid who served me was about to go crazy for a few days, except for bringing me three meals a day, she didn't have to care about anything else, and occasionally she was bored and wanted to talk to me, but I didn't seem to hear it at all, to be honest, I really didn't hear it, maybe some of it was I originally heard, and I thought about it for a while, and then I forgot about it. They also persuaded me, saying that I didn't have to work so hard, but I still didn't listen. They were still talking about me in private, and I said that I was afraid that I would go crazy.

Qin Musi also calculated an account with me, 1,428 pieces of paper, 10 sets of paints, and 20 brushes. He said that the paper, pen, paint, and other things I had used in the past month had cost about eighty taels of silver, and although I felt that I had saved money, I had spent less than a quarter of them on food and clothing.

I really don't hear anything outside the window, and I only use my pen to paint.
