Chapter 85: Accidents on the streets
Gold shines wherever it is buried, and it is even more obvious that it is buried in a pile of transparent diamonds. I sat cross-legged on the floor, my elbows propped up on my legs, and the paper in my hand pinched the ends of the paper and let it stretch on its own. With only half of my face exposed, my eyes in a desperate state, I kept this position, wondering why I had come to this point.
I don't know how long I was stunned, but when I came back to my senses, I was already surrounded by a bunch of people, including street painters and some passers-by, and I didn't know if they thought my action was weird or if the painting was really intriguing. I panicked for a while, and I couldn't hear their headless comments clearly.
After being embarrassed for a while, someone finally came to watch the play instead of watching it, and he said, "Little girl, with your dusty painting skills, why don't you go to the Orange Painting Garden?" This one's self-made estimation is also qualified. โ
I saw that everyone responded one after another, and some nodded yes, and there were quite a few. I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't taken the test, and I dare not say that this is not my painting at all?
"Little girl, can you sell me for three taels of silver for this painting?" Some people have started, and the price is three taels of silver! It is said that the street painters who sell paintings on the street are as high as five taels of silver.
Suddenly when it came to the price, I hesitated, is Zhou Mubai worth it? Zhou Mubai is a priceless treasure.
Seeing that I hesitated, someone raised the price again: I will pay four taels for a fixed price. โ
"I'll give five taels."
"I'll give six taels."
โยทยทยทโ
"One price, ten taels, all stopped, I was the first person to shout ten taels."
"I'll give twenty taels."
"Dude, street painters have the rules of street painters, the highest price of a painting is ten taels of silver, and the more it is, it will be evaluated in the museum."
"Little girl, I see that you are new here, since you are really painting on the street, you must abide by the rules of the street, the street painter's paintings are sold at the highest price of ten taels of silver on the street, and some people who are willing to pay more than ten taels of silver cannot be sold on the street. But it's also very bad to say, in many good works are not interested, so not only is the painting not yours, but you can't get a penny. There are pros and cons to this exhibition, and the little girl will decide for herself! "The one who speaks is also a street painter.
What kind of overlord clause is this? Why are there so many things in this Qingteng Pavilion?
"Little girl, I think you, it's better to sell it on the street, there are so many paintings in the Qingteng Pavilion, they are updated every day, and there are few who can stand out there."
If I had sold my paintings, I would have sold them, and ten taels of silver would be a lot, enough to buy a complete set of painting tools, and there would be some spare time, and those painting paper and paints would be able to be used for a long time if they were spared, and they would not be able to make ends meet, and they would be able to paint without starvation. The key is that no one cares about painting it myself, the road is shallow, and it can't set off any big wind and waves, which is like Zhou Mubai~~ Bai Zhou, Bai Zhou, really Bai Zhou!
"Girl, I think your painting is very good, it has won people's attention at a glance, and the works in the Qingteng Pavilion are nothing more than those, I feel that your works are the kind that can make people shine, and the probability is still very large."
"Aren't there so many of our street painters who have made a fortune from this! Although it is less, there are some. โ
Everyone has different opinions, the more I say, the more hesitant I am, out of practical considerations, this is Zhou Mubai's painting, if I sell ten taels of silver, hold on for a while, I will paint those worthless paintings myself, and I will not be able to live in the future! If I throw myself into the Qingteng Pavilion, it is likely that I will become famous for a while, but this is never my painting, and I can't paint so many paintings of Zhou Mubai in the future!
In the final analysis, I still have no ability, alas!
There are still ten days left in the second introductory assessment of the Orange Painting Garden this year, and if the Tao is not enough, you still have to cultivate on your own after all! I thought that ten taels of silver should be able to last until that time, during this period, I worked hard to pass the entrance assessment, and if I passed the entrance assessment, I could have the confidence to beg the master of Zhou Yuan to give me a place to live, and then I would be able to fight for a little bit of courage and get to the Qingying-level painter as soon as possible, and it would be logical.
This is my plan, so I temporarily sacrificed Zhou Mubai, I am sorry for him, I sold his painting for ten taels of silver to protect Mingzhe. In addition to using this silver to buy painting tools, I also bought the so-called pirated painting theory, I only saw a small half of it before, and now I look back, only to see that there are many pictures in addition to the text, but the pirated ones are more vague. In my opinion, piracy has only one benefit, and that is cheapness.
Fortunately, these days are sunny, there is no wind and rain, I in the pavilion with the drawing board as a table, while carrying the painting theory, while copying the things on it, this poor only to know that I feel distressed about the paper, pen and ink, every stroke is considered for a long time before daring to go down, and is used on both sides, a piece of paper as seven or eight to use, no way, poor!
Three days later, someone came to me, forgive me for being a little blind, and I didn't recognize that it was the man who spent ten taels of silver to buy my painting that day.
"Good news, good news, girl."
"What's the good news? The second introductory exam hasn't started yet, so what's the good news? โ
"That's right, that day I brought the paintings back to show my wife, who had also worked as a picture album in the Orange Painting Garden before, and also studied paintings quite a lot. She was overjoyed when she saw your painting, and let me make a decision for you, in the name of the girl, your street painter, the painting was thrown into the Qingteng Pavilion, if it didn't work, anyway, the girl didn't have much loss, if it did, it was indeed the girl's own ability. โ
"That's?"
"The girl's painting is now a lot of big families competing to buy it at a high price, although this intermediary Qingteng Museum, but it is still up to the painter himself and the buyer to contact, and everyone also wants to see the true face of the painter who painted the painting, girl, go with me, I will lead the way." He said with great interest.
Indeed, from other people's point of view, this is indeed beneficial to me, ten taels of silver are mine, it stands to reason that people have helped me a lot, but the problem is... It's not my painting!
The man was still in a state of excitement: "My lady is a person who knows how to paint, but she has become a family in the past few years, and she has a child at home, so it is difficult to get out. This time it can't be regarded as a great help to the girl.,Contemptible people just begged the girl on behalf of the lady.,If the girl enters the orange painting garden in the future.,There is a level.,If there is a lack of a picture album around you.,You can give priority to my lady.ใ โ
Along the way, I didn't say a word before I arrived at the gate of the Qingteng Pavilion.
"Girl, Qin Gongzi of the Qingteng Pavilion is waiting to see you!"
