Chapter 52: Xia Zixuan's Sketches
Xia Zixuan not only depicts the characters in detail, the embroidery of the clothes, the piping of the cuffs, and even the large flowers are also restored. The lines of the painting are richly varied, the relationship between light and shade is clear, the lines are smooth, the space is distinct, and the three-dimensional sense created makes the characters in the painting jump out of the paper.
After Xia Zixuan's sketch was finished, he dipped the brush in rouge, gouache, and some of Xia Zixuan's own various pigments made from fruits and vegetables, including flour. Use water to make different shades, and then color the characters, the flour is colored with white clothes, the rouge is colored with red clothes, and the light ink is colored with black clothes, as for Xiao Jiu's blue clothes, they can only be obtained by blending red and green. I used cucumber to make green before, and then mixed it with rouge. There were all the colorful flowers left, and Xia Zixuan also smudged them one by one. Because it is blended in the wireframe of the sketch and is very shallow, it not only does not hinder the sketch, but also makes the painting more soulful.
Everyone was shocked in their hearts and secretly amazed, including Gonggong Li, who was proud before, and now he is also sighing to himself. Xia Zixuan's paintings, if they hadn't seen them with their own eyes, would have thought that the people in the paintings were alive, exactly the same as the scene they had just seen, completely restored, and even the breezy floating hair was exactly the same. When you compare your own paintings, it's really nothing!
Xia Zixuan is still very confident in his paintings, and after painting, he stood up and stretched, and the masterpiece was finally ready. Xia Zixuan looked at the people around, and everyone looked at him with that incredible look.
"Xiao Xuanzi, you have given Yan too many surprises today, how many talents do you still have that I don't know." Yan Yan felt that he had to get to know Xia Zixuan well, he was like a treasure, always bringing surprises to himself.
"It's easy to say, I'm a treasure boy, there will be more surprises for you in the future" Xia Zixuan was slightly praised, and immediately his tail was raised to the sky.
"Brother Zixuan, you are so powerful, this painting is made like it is alive" Feng Xuanyu touched the painting with his hand, thinking it was incredible.
"That's right, let me tell you, I'm not usually a person who paints easily, and that's your blessing" Now some people don't just have their tails up to the sky, they have swelled to the point that they don't know it.
"That umbrella Rong Nuo likes it very much, can you leave it to Rong Nuo" After Xia Zixuan sewed a ribbon on an ordinary umbrella, it was so different, the important thing was that Xia Zixuan changed it himself, and he wanted to keep it.
"I've sent you, I've sent you, I designed the umbrella myself, you wait, I'll sign your name" Xia Zixuan took the umbrella and left his name on the umbrella with the word dog planing.
"Can you make a separate painting for this king in the future, this king wants to collect it" Ji Motian felt that Xia Zixuan's painting must be left to him now, if he could paint a separate painting for himself...
"I said that you don't paint easily, if you want to paint, take off your clothes at night and come to my dormitory," Xia Zixuan said...
"Xia Zixuan" Yan Yan made a charming voice, which made Xia Zixuan's whole person sober up.
"That, master, I asked Xiao Hei to come to my dormitory at night, and I painted for him, just painting, roaring, roaring... Hahaha..."Xia Zixuan immediately behaved.
"This painting is well done, I will keep it well" Yan Yan picked up the painting and looked at it carefully.
"Master, this is my bet that I finally won the painting, I want to keep it for myself, if the master wants, I will redraw it for the master in the future" Xia Zixuan was reluctant, this famous scene of the four beauties together was finally recorded, so it was not allowed to be taken away. No, I'll sketch them individually later, and the solo sketch may persuade them to sacrifice for art, maybe they can still see eight-pack abs, hahahaha.
Yan Yan saw Xia Zixuan's face and knew that he wanted to keep this painting very much, so he put the painting down, "Remember what you said, and come to my dormitory to paint me in a few days."
"Remember, remember, I remember" Xia Zixuan saw that the painting was saved, and nodded incessantly at Yan Yan's request.
"Brother Zixuan, will he also paint for Xiao Jiu" Feng Xuanyu pulled Xia Zixuan's sleeve coquettishly.
"I'll paint a portrait of each of you, first say okay, one hundred and twenty pairs, because the material is expensive, you don't know, the price of this snail Dai, it..."
"Good"
"Good"
"Good"
"Good"
Xia Zixuan was just introducing the price of materials for her painting, but she didn't expect the four of them to agree in unison.
"That you promised so easily, how do I feel like I'm going to be less, that thousand... A thousand taels? Xia Zixuan said tentatively.
No one paid attention to her now, Xia Zixuan rolled up the painting, and then waved his hand, "Let's go, I will invite you to eat hot pot today, I made hot pot with my own hands, everyone comes, there are many people, it is lively."
Xia Zixuan packed up his things and walked back with the eldest girl and the second girl, and asked the four beauties to go back to change their clothes and come over to eat hot pot. As for the Queen Mother, she took Gonggong Li away with a smile...
Xia Zixuan asked the eldest girl and the second girl to prepare tables and chairs and a big iron pot in the yard, Xia Zixuan went to the kitchen to fry a large pot of base ingredients, because she herself loves spicy food, so the spicy pot of red soup let Xia Zixuan serve it all the way from the kitchen to the courtyard.
The various dishes prepared by the eldest girl and the second girl are almost the same, and the four beauties have changed their clothes and sat down. Xia Zixuan beckoned the eldest girl and the second girl, as well as the four secret guards, to come over and eat together. Hula knelt on the ground, and no one dared to sit down. Xia Zixuan remembered that there were clear hierarchies in ancient times, and he didn't force it.
Xia Zixuan asked the four of them to wait for the pot to boil first, and then serve the homemade fruit wine by themselves, which will not be drunk and sweet, and the ice cubes are added to it, and the hot and spicy hot pot is really enjoyable.
Xia Zixuan took a sip of fruit wine, looked at the bottom of the boiling pot, threw his favorite dishes into the pot, and then let the four of them do it themselves, and put in whatever dishes they liked.
The four of them are used to being served, and they rarely do it themselves, these Xia Zixuan can understand, after all, in ancient times, they were all gentlemen who cooked far away, let alone emperors. Xia Zixuan couldn't understand the most, all the dishes he ordered first were cooked, he fished a big bowl and started to eat, the four of them sat up straight with a chattering god, still waiting for what?
"The dishes are all cooked, why don't you eat them? Fish it yourself with chopsticks! How? Are you still waiting for me to put you in a bowl? Xia Zixuan felt that the four masters would not wait for her to serve.
"No, Brother Zixuan, that, that's the dish you cooked, we haven't cooked it yet," Feng Xuanyu said aggrievedly.
"The essence of hot pot is, eat together, what are you waiting for, no matter who cooks it, as long as you like to eat what you like to eat, you will be able to clip it slowly" Xia Zixuan ate hot pot in a big gulp, drank fruit wine, and was accompanied by a beautiful woman, it was really happy.
The four of them were sitting, and the secret guard was on his side to pick up the dishes for the masters, and what the master liked quickly put into the master's bowl.
"Whatever you like to eat, what fun do you have to eat. It's slippery, eat it yourself" Xia Zixuan really doesn't like to eat a hot pot so hypocritically, and he has to be served by a bunch of people.
The four of them saw that Xia Zixuan was eating so deliciously, and they didn't care about it so much, so they casually accompanied Xia Zixuan today, so they stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and ate them. A large table of meat and vegetables are in the pot, and now I have eaten more than half of it, although everyone is sweating profusely, but this way of eating has a different feeling, and this hot pot tastes very good. Everyone eats more than usual, especially Xia Zixuan, who likes spicy food, he really hasn't eaten hot pot for a long time, and he can eat a few more bites after eating.
"It's too much, eat more and don't waste it" Xia Zixuan leaned back in his chair, he really couldn't eat.
"This hot pot tastes good, can you eat it often in the future" Yan Yan has never eaten like this, it feels so delicious.
"I want it too, Brother Zixuan, I want to eat this often in the future, Xiao Jiu likes to eat it" Feng Xuanyu couldn't wait to speak.
Xiaobai Xiaohei has always eaten lightly, and after eating this hot pot today, I also liked it.
"Haha, we haven't been in Dongli for a long time, if we go back to our respective homes in the future, I'll make a hot pot base for you to bring, you go back and want to eat, just cook the base and put it away" Xia Zixuan felt that everyone wanted to eat in the future, and they would make more and bring them back to China to eat.
Xia Zixuan's unintentional words suddenly made everyone feel a little lost, and in a short period of time, he was used to having such a crazy and nervous Xia Zixuan who did not play cards according to common sense.
"Brother Zixuan, you haven't been to Nanfeng yet, why don't you accompany me back to Nanfeng Country when it's over, I'll take Brother Zixuan to see the beautiful Moon Lake, the lake is very clean, you can see the sky in the lake" Feng Xuanyu wanted Xia Zixuan to accompany him back to China and accompany him to stay longer.
"What's so beautiful about the lake, it's better to go to Xiyue with me, the desert scenery of Xiyue, the desert under the sunset is particularly beautiful" Ji Motian wanted to take the little things back.
"I don't know if the prince likes the grassland, the prince can ride his horse on the grassland of Northern Qi and chase the cattle and sheep of the grassland" Even the cold-hearted Bei Rongnuo invited Xia Zixuan, and Xia Zixuan didn't know how to answer for a while.
"I advise you to put away that kindness, Xia Zixuan is my little servant, even if you want to stay, you will stay in my Dongli, the Jinshan ore in my Dongli is comparable to any scenery" Yan Yan said domineeringly, the other three did not speak, but Xia Zixuan was attracted by Jinshan ore.
"Master, the gold mountain ore you said, there is gold, no wonder you use the gold everywhere in the east, is there a diamond, it is that kind of glittering stone" Xia Zixuan's excited voice suddenly rose, which woman doesn't love diamonds, God.
"Is this the glittering stone you are talking about?" Yan Yan stretched out his hand to Chi, and Chi took out a pink diamond, the size of an egg, how many carats is this, or a pink diamond!
"Master, I can weakly ask, how many such stones do you have" Xia Zixuan had already silently arranged in his mind how to snatch the diamond.
"At present, there is only this one, and it was accidentally discovered by mining a year ago" Yan Yan didn't know the value of the diamond, but he just thought that the shiny stone was beautiful, so he left.
Now the diamond in Yan Yan's hand is not so shiny, because of the technical limitations in ancient times, the brilliance of the diamond has not been polished. But it's also processed, that's why you see it.
"Master, this stone is actually worthless, it's just pretty pink. It's useless for you to keep it, you might as well give it to me, I'll make a hot pot for you to eat" Xia Zixuan couldn't help hiding his joy at finding such a big diamond, rubbing his hands and begging Yan Yan for it.
