Chapter 42 The lively and strange old man, the first time he saw the legendary Prime Minister
After meeting my future service object, the little maid took me to meet my future colleague, the legendary court painter. The current chief painter, Master Liu, is a man of some age, about forty or fifty years old, with a beard, and he looks a little fairy-like.
It is said that he has reached the level of obsession with painting, and it is this one who advocates innovation in painting, I originally thought that making a name for himself could attract him, so as to become a civil servant, but I didn't want to attract the queen mother first, but the result is the same.
The old man looked serious, looked at me for a moment, then sighed and left. The rest of the painters greeted me one after another, and one of them, who looked very young, finally came over: "I'm Liu Jingyuan, you can call me Jingyuan in the future." "I finally met a person who had a lot of conversations, I also introduced myself, and then asked about this Lord Liu's demeanor, I was worried that my boss didn't like me, what should I do?
Liu Jingyuan smiled slightly: "You said Lord Liu, don't worry, he is usually like that, probably because you are young and a woman, but the painting is so real, he has been hit." ”
It's over, am I too glamorous, so that the boss has a sense of crisis, in this case, either I go, or I replace him as his boss, but in the process, he is bound to wear small shoes, how is this good?
"But you don't have to worry, Lord Liu still admires talented people, but you haven't adjusted your emotions today, so you don't have to take it to heart." Liu Jingyuan continued.
I nodded, but I didn't care in my heart, child, you are still too young, I don't know the sinister nature of the workplace, the boss likes to be capable and talented, provided that it does not pose a threat to him, and now this Lord Liu's attitude, I am afraid that he has regarded me as a thorn in the side. I don't know how long I can work in a state-owned enterprise? Forget it, it's a big deal to go back and continue to paint chungong, and the income of that one is higher than that of a civil servant.
After figuring it out, I started to get ready for work and organize the materials and everything. When Mr. Liu saw my strange brush, he was curious that the baby was possessed, pestering me to ask and ask me to draw a sketch for him, and then look at my eyes full of stars. Of course, all the artists in the academy were watching the whole time, and then they were also looking at me with stars.
I'll take this narcissistic look as worship, as long as it's not love.
Lord Liu came up and pressed my shoulder: "I didn't expect that there would be such a painting method, Miss Ling's innovative technique has opened the eyes of the old man, and the old man is willing to become close friends with the girl, and learn from the art of painting in the future, and please don't shirk the girl!" ”
As soon as the chief painter said this, others also echoed him, and I expressed my flattery, as a modern little painter, because of the special painting technique, in ancient times I was able to become close friends with the great painters, and for the first time I felt the benefits of crossing.
After showing my hand, I quickly broke into the circle of artists. Listen to them talk about the landscape, meet where Xiu Mu will go to spring, and then gladly accept the invitation. Of course, I also understand that I am special in painting, if I really pay attention to artistic conception or something, these are the real masters, counting, I am just opportunistic, intersecting with them, I have a lot to learn.
Because of the special painting method, I just went to work for a few days, basically every day to be called by all kinds of celebrities to paint for them, first of all, of course, the queen mother who has the grace of knowing me, this is one of the most noble women in Qi country, no one dares to rob her.
After painting the queen mother, it is the queen mother, and then there are all kinds of concubines, in the era when there are no cameras, women are particularly concerned about keeping their beautiful time, so the painter is very popular. The artist said that he was very tired, can he ask for a salary increase?
Before I could ask for a salary increase, I ushered in a show girl into the palace.
Then there was a new round of destruction, every day to paint portraits of the show girls, I actually gave birth to an illusion, it seems that I am still in the third year of high school, preparing for the joint entrance examination, I get up at seven or eight o'clock in the morning to start painting, and only go to bed at one or two in the evening.
During that time, all the painters were seriously sleep deprived, especially Lord Liu, who came to the palace with a pair of panda eyes in the last few days, which made people laugh and feel distressed.
After finally finishing the painting, Lord Liu threw away the paintbrush very willfully, announced that he would not go to him for three days, and then rushed out of the palace. What a lovely old man.
The rest of the adults also said goodbye, and as soon as I entered the house, I was warmly held by Yang Liu and looked at it: "If you don't come back, I will think that you are going to live in the palace for the rest of your life?" ”
"Don't curse me, what is living in the palace, it's not a palace maid or a mother, it's impossible for me to be a eunuch, I don't want to serve people, I don't want to be served, you don't know, there are a lot of beauties in the show girls this time, I am aesthetically tired when I see it, and I can't look at the beauties happily in the future." I haven't slept well in a few days, go boil some water for me, I'll take a shower and get some sleep. ”
Yang Liu happily responded, looking at her back to the kitchen, I was very pleased, under my education, the former Oiran, not only can dance, life has also learned to take care of herself, occasionally can take care of me, although most of the time I am taking care of her, but who makes me a modern woman?
When I went to work again, the emperor actually summoned me, and then I finally met the legendary Yellow Emperor, who really had a handsome face, and in modern times, it was definitely the top little fresh meat.
At this time, he was talking to the person next to him, his expression was still quite pleasant, I wanted to see what the person next to him looked like, but he was pulled by the palace maid next to him, and quickly knelt down, the palace is very bad, and he wants others to kneel at every turn, I think it is necessary to make it easy to practice the kneeling of Zhu Gege!
This time the emperor quickly shouted flat, I stood up, saw the person next to the emperor clearly, and recognized it at a glance, this one I saw in the restaurant last time, I secretly regretted not going up to hook up, I didn't expect to see it in the palace, fate, fate!
It's just a man who can stand next to the emperor, I secretly looked at his clothes, it was an official uniform, but I didn't study what it was, and it wasn't easy to think about. I wanted to look again, but I suddenly met his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be smiling, and I quickly avoided them.
"In the past few days, I have often heard the queen mother talk about the painter Ling, and the paintings painted are like real people appearing on the paper, and what the queen mother said, I don't think there will be any fake."
"The Queen Mother has taken great pains to draft for the emperor in the past few days, and she also specially found Ling painters to paint portraits of the show girls, all for the emperor to find a woman who agrees." It was an old man on the other side of the emperor who spoke, who was thin and thin, and his eyes were sparkling with calculation, so that he had a scheming face. Just now, I just cared about looking at the handsome guy and ignored him directly.
"It's hard to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, you don't know the face but you don't know the heart, and you don't know that the brush of the painter Ling can show the goodness and ugliness of people's hearts on paper?" The handsome guy is good-looking, but the words he says are with three points of thorns.
Those who dare to say such things in front of the emperor must not be low, I endure: "The ministers are shallow in their learning, so they naturally can't do it." ”
"The sinister and good of people's hearts can't be seen through by human eyes, let alone displayed with a paintbrush, Prime Minister Li, you are embarrassed by the painter." As soon as the emperor said this, the handsome guy just now, that is, Prime Minister Li Cheng, made a gesture of accusation to the emperor slightly: "It's the minister who is abrupt." The Emperor waved his hand, not paying attention.
I was surprised, it turned out that this handsome guy was the legendary Prime Minister Li, I was only a rumor, and finally a young and promising prime minister was finally produced, but anyone who can get by and have power will be molded into a peerless character, but I never thought that he was really an earth-shattering handsome guy.
Thinking that the handsome guy doesn't look at it in vain, he goes back to write silently after reading it, to see if he can draw it, but he sells it in the market, maybe he can make a fortune, I just wanted to look carefully, and met his eyes again, this time it was not an illusion, his peach blossom eyes were smiling, and he winked at me twice, I was going to be stunned!
