Chapter 423: Accident
The person who Crepe Longan found to paint portraits is said to be extremely good at drawing, but what he paints is far from reality.
"No, the eyebrows should be higher, Mrs. Wang's face is round, triangular eyes, and she looks very shrewd......"
"Tao Xiucai's face is thinner, and his eyes are bigger......
A few helpers were talking, and the painter made corrections, but the result was still unsatisfactory.
When painting small portraits of each other, it is difficult to depict the true face, and most of them make up for it by describing things such as demeanor and clothing, not to mention this method of oral narration by others.
The painter was an old man, who was extremely patient, but then he was annoyed by the gossip of a few people around him, and he put aside his brush and said angrily: "You say a word here, that one says a word, one moment has big eyes, and one moment has small eyes, is it not accurate, how do you tell me to paint like this?" ”
Those people couldn't help but say:
"But they look like that, that princess has a shrewd face, and she looks like a bad person, Tao Xiucai looks very handsome, looks very energetic, and speaks in a gentle...... way."
"Which reader isn't Sven's?"
After the painter said angrily, he left the stall and quit, "Lord Crepe, I really can't take this job, I haven't seen those two people, and they can't say clearly, I really can't paint." ”
"You'd better go find someone else, but I think as you ask, no one can do this job."
Crepe Longan's face was a little ugly.
Qi Wenfu frowned, and just as he was about to speak, a sarcastic voice came from outside.
"It's just a painting, is it that difficult?"
Several people in the room looked up, and through the open window lattice, they saw that on the roof opposite, there was a half-grown boy, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a hatted patch on his head, hanging his legs cross, I don't know how long he had been watching the excitement there.
"Who are you?"
"Is that you?"
The voices of Crepe Longan and Su Ruan sounded almost at the same time.
Xuan Longan looked back in surprise: "The county lord knows him?" ”
"I've seen it once before."
After Su Ruan explained, he looked at the half-grown boy and said, "Why did you come to Jingnan?" ”
"The world is big, where does the master want to go?"
The young man snorted, "Pretty girl, I said before that the person next to you is a little white face, and you can't even find a portrait, how about it, it's better to take the master with you." ”
Su Ruan raised his eyebrows at his call, the young man looked not as old as her, and he looked good after washing his face, but he was thin and small, and he looked about the same age as Xie Qingyang.
Qi Wenfu also felt a little offended, and said coldly: "Cold Mountain." ”
Hanshan rose into the air, flew directly onto the roof, stretched out his hand and grabbed the young man, but when he approached, a figure suddenly jumped out behind the beam, directly blocking the young man, and the horizontal hand hit Hanshan.
Han Shan didn't expect that there was another person on the roof, so he hurriedly reached out to block it, but when he didn't want to collide with the man's fist, he felt a huge force coming, and he was unexpectedly knocked upside down and flew out.
When Han Shan spun in the air and landed on the ground, he couldn't help but take a few steps backwards.
His face was full of astonishment.
That's a lot of strength!
The half-grown boy stood up from the roof, and there was a very strong man standing beside him, who looked like an adult, but his face was silly and childish, and his eyes were round and unhappy, and he said:
"Don't hit my brother!"
The young man also stood up and sneered: "Little white face, I was careless last time at Linmen, you will be fooled when you suffer a loss once as a master?" ”
Qi Wenfu looked at the two people on the roof, his eyelids jumped slightly, he knew Hanshan's skills, even if the person next to the young man appeared suddenly, but it was by no means easy to force Hanshan back with one blow.
"Who the hell are you?" Qi Wenfu said in a deep voice.
The young man snorted and didn't answer, but just said to the side, "Ah Da, take me down." ”
After the urn beside him answered angrily, he directly reached out and half-grabbed the young man's arm and led him down to the roof.
After falling to the ground, the young man spoke, "You don't care who the master is, if it weren't for the pitiful appearance of your stupid faces, and the one who looks for a portrait is so unreliable, the master would not be able to see you." ”
The painter was ridiculed one after another, and couldn't help but say angrily: "The old man said wildly, the old man is the best painter in Jingnan, and this portrait can't be painted even if others come." ”
"Phew."
The young man snorted, "Old guy, you don't have the ability to paint, don't rely on others." ”
"You!"
The painter was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Su Ruan kept looking at the young man and said softly, "Can you find a better painter?" ”
"Of course." The boy tilted his chin back.
Crepe Longan hurriedly said, "Who is it?" ”
The young man ignored him, just looked at Su Ruan: "Pretty girl, if I help you, how can you thank me?" ”
Su Ruan asked, "How do you want me to thank you?" ”
The young man looked immature, and after a roll of his eyes, he said with a smile: "Is it okay to make a promise with your body?" ”
Qi Wenfu's face was slightly gloomy, and there was a little coldness in his eyes when he looked at the young man.
When Su Ruan heard this, she only felt that she could feel that the half-grown child in front of her had no ill will towards her, even if she spoke a little out of tune, but there was some closeness in her words.
Su Ruan didn't know where the boy's closeness came from, but she could feel that the child wouldn't hurt her.
She wasn't annoyed, she just shook her head seriously: "This can't work, I have someone I like, you can change the conditions." ”
Qi Wenfu's eyes were slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but look sideways at the little girl beside him.
Her cheeks were white, her pink lips were slightly open, and she said very seriously that she had someone she liked.
The unhappiness in Qi Wenfu's heart was suddenly smoothed out, but it was full of sweetness, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.
The young man on the opposite side suddenly turned dark, and glared at Qi Wenfu unhappily: "You don't like this little white face, what's so good about him?" ”
"What I like, naturally, is good."
After Su Ruan finished speaking, he looked at the half-grown child opposite, "And no matter who I like, I won't use my marriage and others as bargaining chips, if you are willing to help me, then change to other conditions, otherwise I will give you silver, okay?" ”
"Who wants your money!"
After the young man said something angrily, he turned around and wanted to leave, but he didn't take a few steps and fell back, and snorted, "There is a Miaorong Zhai in the south of Jingzhou who sells the four treasures of the study, and there is an old man Xu with a broken finger in it. ”
"He originally specialized in counterfeiting ancient paintings, but later he was cut off by the enemy, so he didn't do it again, but his painting skills are still there."
"He is the best at copying and portraits, but if he has seen a glance, he can copy ten out of ten, even if it is not eye-catching, others can paint eighty percent of it."
"How is that possible!"
The painter next to him only felt that the young man was bragging, and after sneering, he wanted to scold a few words, but seeing that the crepe Longan and the others didn't speak, and Qi Wenfu had already turned around and asked people to find people, he couldn't help but flick his sleeves and walked aside.
He wanted to see what the little beggar could find.
The government is looking for people, and the efficiency is naturally very fast.
The old man Xu was still a little nervous when he was approached by the official, thinking that the government was investigating him for selling fake paintings, and when he arrived at the mansion, he even said that he had been washing his hands for many years, and when he later learned that the government was only looking for him to help paint the portrait, he was relieved.
Crepe Longan asked him, "Can you draw it if you haven't seen anyone?" ”
Old man Xu said: "Yes, as long as someone I have seen says what it looks like, I can draw a rough picture." ”
When he heard this, he hurriedly called the few people who were in the school house before, and said again in front of Old Man Xu, Old Man Xu first just drew an outline, and then scribbled on the paper with the voices of several people, looking at the mess.
The painter looked at the black mass on the paper and sneered, "Is this preparing to paint a quagmire?" ”
Old man Xu ignored him, but after asking a few more words, he laid out two new pieces of paper, closed his eyes for a while, and then picked up the pen again, but this time he didn't stop, and he didn't speak again, and waited until he put the pen away.
Old man Xu sighed lightly and asked a few people beside him, "How is it, isn't this the case?" ”
Several people hurriedly stepped forward, and saw the portraits on the two pieces of paper vividly, one of them was a round face, hanging horns, slightly thick lips, and some shallow folds on the face, looking at the old woman with a shrewd face.
On the piece of paper next to him was a young man with a long and jade body, with a handsome face, but when he looked at people, he was not gentle, but had more hidden calculations.
Those people all opened their eyes wide, and they spoke one after another in an instant.
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
"It's just a god, this Wang mother-in-law's face is like this, fat and big, and Tao Xiucai, he looks like this when he looks at people, he is obviously gentle, but when he doesn't look closely, it makes people feel cold."
Several people were shocked when they looked at Old Man Xu.
The painter before only felt some pain on his face, and his face turned pale when he looked at Old Man Xu's gaze.
Several people in Qiwen Mansion also stepped forward to take a look, and when they saw the two people living in the painting, they all showed surprise.
After confirming that the person on the portrait had eight images of the real person, Qi Wenfu said: "Lord Crepe, I'm sorry for you." ”
"No trouble, no trouble."
Xuan Longan hurriedly said to Old Man Xu, "You can draw some more of this portrait." ”
Old man Xu naturally didn't have anything to do, and the painter before was also pulled over as a helper.
Qi Wenfu saw that a few people were busy here, turned his head and was about to talk to Su Ruan, who knew that he saw her standing there in a daze, her face was full of strangeness, and her dark eyes were even more disbelief and suspicion.
"Nguyen Nguyen?" Qi Wenfu stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Su Ruan raised his head blankly, and only came back to his senses a little after looking worried about the Qi Wen Mansion, but the huge shock in his heart did not fade at all.
She didn't expect that she would actually meet someone in Jingnan who she had not found in Beijing for a long time.
