Torture.

If you admit defeat, you admit defeat, as for the resentment, it seems that he is a negative person?

Bai Tang looked at Lian Shaorong suspiciously: Uncle, I wish the descendants of the family this virtue? Didn't you just say that his family is full of talents? Is this TMD also considered a talent?

Lian Shaorong's old face was slightly red: There is still talent, yes, but the character is a little weird.

Zhu Tongguang said sadly: "Tonglin, brother will avenge you!" ”

Poof-

Bai Tang's eyes widened: Still coming?

Zhu Tongguang stretched out his white and plump hands, rolled up the wide sleeves layer by layer, and tightened them, revealing his wrists that were more delicate and jade than the woman, and said, "Tonglin is good at calligraphy and painting. In the next is not talented, good at engraving. I heard that Lian Gongzi carving is famous in Nanjing, but unfortunately he has never been taught! His eyes squinted slightly, and the servant respectfully brought over a set of toolboxes.

Bai Tang only noticed that although Zhu Tongguang's fingers were delicate and resembling women, the color of the fingertips was slightly yellow, and there should be a lot less thick cocoons.

Nodding slightly, he said lightly: "I wish the eldest prince any choice." ”

Zhu Tongguang took out a palm-sized piece of catalpa wood, sat down and condensed for a while, and waved the carving knife suddenly, in the continuous knife light, he saw pieces of snowflake-like sawdust falling from his hand, and a cluster of vivid and vivid lilacs soon appeared on the catalpa wood. Zhu Tongguang took a breath, rested for a while, and changed the carving knife. After dozens of efforts, five or six blades with different postures were completed. It took less than half an hour.

Lian Shaorong's mood is delicate: Pingjiang can also carve works of this level, but the speed is not as fast as him.

Bai Tang glanced at the engraving slightly, and his eyes were coldly fixed on Zhu Tongguang's gradually reddened face and asked, "Are you panting?" Hands shaking, right? If you have the ability, I'll take a look at it! ”

The faces of the Zhu brothers changed at the same time: "You-"

Bai Tang held the engraving and said angrily: "The foundation is not bad." But your body is too bad! With your precious body, you can only carve these small flowers and scenes to pass the time. If you are asked to carve a landscape painting, with your physical strength, I am afraid that the lines and artistic conception of the work will be unsightly! ”

Zhu Tongguang asked with a fierce pant in his eyes: "You, why are you-"

Bai Tang shook his head pitifully and sighed: "You are talented, and you are a carver." It's a pity. ”

Engraving is not only a technical job, but also a physical job! Of course, not all works are completed in one go, and a pause in between is essential. But like Zhu Tongguang, his hands were weak and weak in less than half an hour, panting like a dog, and his physical energy was limited, and his achievements ended here.

"You're talking nonsense." Zhu Tonglin excitedly took out a piece of spice-soaked silk to wipe the sweat off his brother's forehead. "Big brother, don't listen to him, he's lying to you."

"The same goes for you." Bai Tang stared at Zhu Tonglin. "Drawing sketches doesn't make a big difference. But what if you ask you to paint the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in fine format? I'm afraid that I won't even be able to hold a pen when the time comes! ”

The brothers put on the powdered faces and turned red and white.

In recent years, they have deliberately avoided large-scale works, and they also vaguely know that they lack strength, but if they want to get older in the future, this problem can naturally be solved. Unexpectedly, he was directly pointed out by Lian Baitang, who was as sharp as an eagle.

Bai Tang frowned and stared at them: "You can't lift your hands, you can't carry them on your shoulders." What other craftsmen do you do? Let's go back to Yangzhou Fenghua Snowflake. Beijing is not for you. ”

The brothers were so angry that their whole bodies trembled, and the powder on their faces fell down! Seeing that tears were about to burst out of their eyes, a majestic female voice sounded behind them: "Now I know that there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains, right?" ”

Lian Shaorong turned around and hurriedly said, "I wish the old lady." ”

The old lady of the Zhu family should be around fifty years old, her hair is still black, her face is slightly round, her skin is full and smooth, only there are some inevitable fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and she looks like a woman in her early forties, and she is very well maintained.

"Grandmother!" The two brothers, who were devastated, immediately stood up straight.

Old lady Zhu snorted softly: "Breath!" Then he said to Lian Shaoda, "Lian boss, Lian Gongzi." The kid in the family is messing around, and the two of them invite Haihan. ”

Lian Shaoda smiled, and Baitang Haihan was good.

"The old lady is gracious." Bai Tang solemnly returned the salute, "The two sons are young and ignorant, and we will not worry about him." ”

Young and ignorant - really have the face to say! Zhu Tongguang's face was red: How many years older are you than us?! But my grandmother didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of her, and only expressed her dissatisfaction with the crumbs in the corner of her eyes. Zhu Tonglin couldn't suppress his temper, and called aggrievedly: "Grandmother, Lian Baitang scolded us for being useless!" ”

Bai Tang's long eyebrows are upside down: Boy! Dare to sue in front of me?!

"You're useless!" Old Madam Zhu snorted coldly, "I just listened to what Gongzi Lian said. How could you ever say half a sentence wrong? It is a blessing to you that he is willing to speak and guide you! ”

The corners of Bai Tang's mouth turned up slightly: He likes to hear what the old lady says. If it weren't for the fact that they were Zhu Jiazi, how could I have time to waste time with them.

The brothers were even more aggrieved, and the pear blossom with the rain trembled.

"What does it look like!" The old lady hates that iron does not make steel. They are all young people of about the same age, practicing Baitang from scratch and becoming famous at a young age! His grandson is still looking for flowers and willows in Yangzhou. They are all good looks, clean and refreshing, and tall as pine. His grandson was contaminated with the so-called wind of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and he forced himself to be delicate and soft, and his skin was tanned for two or three days. They are full of anger!

"Go back!" The old lady couldn't afford to lose this face, so she left in a hurry with her grandson after confessing to Lian Shaoda.

After the people left, Bai Tang and the uncle looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Liu Daxiong was already holding his stomach and laughing: "They have the wrong baby!" You should vote for a daughter! ”

Bai Tang shook his head: "During the Wei and Jin dynasties, men smeared grease and powder, and weak willows helped the wind. The land of Yangzhou has always been prosperous, and there is about a retro craze? Monkey business! ”

Zhu the old lady was ashamed to take her grandson back to the house. A death order was given.

"You also heard Lian Gongzi's words. From tomorrow onwards, I will run around the house for half an hour in the morning and evening, and I can only eat when I am done! ”

When the brothers heard this, they immediately felt that their legs were weak before they ran. The screams were out of the way, and their mother-in-law Miao had already called anxiously: "Mother." The Tongguang brothers are weak. I can't stand such a toss! ”

"It's because they're sick and weak that they need to exercise!" The old lady glanced at Miao's slender waist and said, "Look at your two sons." I'm almost as weak as you! ”

Miao is a standard deep boudoir woman. In the boudoir, there is a famous porcelain beauty, and her gestures are all pitiful, which makes people feel pity. Zhu Xuwen, the son of the Zhu family, took a fancy to her style, so he married her back despite his mother's opposition.

I wish the old lady that she can't resist her eldest son, and secretly thinks that her body is still quite strong, and she will marry an eldest daughter-in-law who is furnished and come back without using it, and she will be more tired. When her grandson grows up, she will be able to let go. Who knows, the two grandsons were also brought up with "beautiful feelings". The old lady Zhu is usually busy with affairs, and by the time she finds out that something is wrong with her grandson, it is already too late.

She also talked to her son about the brothers, but whenever Xu Wen was ruthless to correct her grandson's problem, Miao either cried and cried and was reluctant to let her son suffer, or she was sick and bullied her son in bed.

Today's grandson was taught a lesson by Lian Baitang, and the old lady felt that if she didn't make a move, Tongguang Tonglin would become a waste sooner or later. So he was no longer soft-hearted, and said to Miao in a cold voice: "Even Lian Baitang of Songzhu Zhai can see the problems of your sons, are you still confused?" ”

Miao opened his charming eyes and said, "Mother, you are laughing." How old is it to practice begonia? Do you believe his words? Tongguang Tonglin is just a little more particular, his health is still good, and there is no fault with him. Mother, can't you be impulsive—"

"Ruoshan." Zhu Xuwen immediately interrupted his wife's words. The old lady's face is dark, and if she continues to talk about it, even he will be reprimanded! "You brought the two children like this, don't you want to correct them and don't let us do it? Confused! Mother is right. Tongguang Tonglin urgently needs to exercise his body. He thought for a moment, "Mother, it's better to do this, let's take our time." Tomorrow run for a quarter of an hour, and when they get used to it, slowly add hours to it. What do you think? ”

The old lady smiled slightly: "That's it!" ”
