Chapter 3 Beauty Picture
The Wanghai Chamber of Commerce has four branches in the city, and the general number is Fengtai Street, which is located in the center of the city, only one street away from the magnificent and mysterious Tingchao Tower.
Fengtai Street is full of exquisite houses, and although Su Zhuo came early, it is already full of people. However, the vendors in Wanghai City were different from what he usually saw, and most of the ones they sold were the spiritual treasure elixirs that the monks needed, and those shouts sounded like they had a different style, but he watched them with relish.
Zhang Xingyuan also came to Wanghai City for the first time, and he had never seen these things, and he was amazed all the way, "It is said that there are talents in the three hundred and sixty lines, but this female shopkeeper is not only outstanding in cultivation and business, but also in these inconspicuous places, she is also very human, and she is really a strange woman." ”
Su Nianfan nodded, and he looked forward to the next meeting more and more.
The main number is in the depths of Fengtai Street.
It is an extremely delicate building, the front of the courtyard is full of traffic, and there is a black and gold plaque hanging on the vermilion lacquer door of the cave, which reads the four words "Wanghai Chamber of Commerce", which is very imposing.
After Su Nianfan explained his intentions, someone soon came to lead the way.
The Chamber of Commerce is three floors high, and Wang Xiyue is on the third floor.
The maid who led the way quietly looked at Su Nianfan, this Changle Marquis is famous, and the Wanghai Chamber of Commerce is well-informed, she has naturally heard of Su Nianfan, and now that she sees a real person, she is inevitably curious.
It is said that this Changle Hou is gentle, but after seeing the real person, it is not much the same as imagined, not to mention handsome and extraordinary, and there is an unexpected leisurely temperament on his body, compared to Chen Xu, the son of King Zhao who was kicked out with a broken leg two days ago, it is much better, in the end, it is a person who came out of the Shangqing Palace, although he is a gentleman, it is not so much that he can't get on the stage.
However, she didn't think that Su Nianfan could convince Wang Xiyue.
She also didn't believe that the people of the Yonghui Dynasty really took Su Nianfan seriously, but she was afraid that she would let Su Nianfan come over this time to wait to see his jokes.
Therefore, when she came to the outside of the study on the third floor, she couldn't help but shake her head secretly, "When I arrived, the shopkeeper was inside." ”
She glanced at Zhang Xingyuan, who was accompanying her.
Su Nianfan noticed her eyes and said, "Brother Zhang, you can just wait outside." ”
Zhang Xingyuan thought of Chen Xu's fate and hesitated.
Su Nianfan smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Zhang Xingyuan nodded at this time, looking at Su Nianfan's calm appearance, he couldn't help but admire Su Nianfan a little, although he was the number one beauty in Wanghai City, he was also a monk at the peak of the Lingqiao Realm.
The maid glanced at Su Nianfan in some surprise, with the experience of the prince of Zhao, Su Nianfan still has this calmness, whether it is false or not, it makes her a little admired.
......
......
Pushing open the door, the room was quite large, but the layout was not complicated, with long bookshelves against the wall, and a brown desk, on which in addition to the ledger and pen, ink, paper and inkstone, was a dark jade abacus.
A shadow sat on the chair, vibrating on the desk, a few strands of hair on the sideburns hanging softly, and the soft and fair cheeks revealed a faint flush.
Although most of her body was covered by the desk, she was already stunning enough to be wearing a long skirt with a hundred birds and phoenixes, and the bright colors on it were particularly eye-catching.
Wang Xiyue is indeed worthy of the title of the first beauty in Wanghai City, and among the people Su Nianfan has seen, there is only one person who can compete with her.
Her eyes were very moving, with a kind of depth that did not match her age.
She didn't seem to notice Su Nianfan's arrival, she just dipped her pen in Zhu and corrected it in the account book, until her sleeve robe suddenly slipped to her elbows, revealing her wrists as white as snow, she frowned slightly.
frowned this time, but she didn't know if it was because of the problem with the accounts, or because Su Nianfan's arrival disturbed her.
Wang Xiyue raised his eyes and looked at Su Nianfan.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly calmed down a little.
Su Nianfan didn't seem to be aware of the pressure of the qi brought to him by the beauty, so he just arched his hand and said: "Under Su Nianfan, I have seen the king's shopkeeper." ”
Wang Xiyue's gaze fell on Su Nianfan, which seemed to bring invisible pressure, and she smiled slightly: "I have long admired the name of Changle Hou." ”
She didn't stand up.
Su Nianfan was not impressed, and replied: "The shopkeeper Wang smiled. ”
Wang Xiyue's hands were propped up on the table, his ten fingers were crossed, and his cheeks were held on the back of his soft and white hands, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, but his eyes were full of oppression, "I already understand the meaning of Changle Hou...... I don't know what conditions Changle Hou can offer to make me change my mind? After all, I have already said that I don't want to do this business of the Yonghui Dynasty now. ”
Su Nianfan raised his sleeves and said with a smile: "In fact, I was also driven to the shelves on this trip, empty-handed, and I didn't have any preparations. In addition to the conditions that have been issued by the imperial court, what can be done in the next place is to draw a picture of a beauty for the shopkeeper. ”
Wang Xiyue asked interestingly, "Do you know what your national teacher is asking me for?"
Her meaning is obvious, how much is your Changlehou painting worth, you actually think that adding a painting can make me change my mind?
Su Nianfan said: "Wanghai City's unique spiritual object, the elusive cloud stone. ”
In the world of monks, spiritual objects are needed for cultivation, array arrangement, and alchemy refining tools are needed, and Haiyun Stone is only produced in Wanghai City, of course, it is very valuable, and even sometimes it is priceless, for ordinary monks, using Haiyun Stone is just a luxury.
Wang Xiyue said: "It seems that you still know, but what your national teacher wants is not one or two, but three hundred sea cloud stones." ”
Su Nianfan said calmly: "Whether it is Lingjiang, the imperial capital, or Chongzhou under the Shangqing Palace, many beauties in the city do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to beg me for a painting. And, I'm sure you'll see the painting and you'll find it worth the money. ”
Wang Xiyue looked at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled, and the momentary surprise made Su Nianfan's heartbeat miss half a beat, "You can try, but if I'm not satisfied, it's not just that the business can't be done." Of course, you are the widow of the eldest princess, the emperor of the Yonghui Dynasty is still your uncle, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, no matter how bad it is, I will only break one of your legs......"
Su Nianfan took a deep breath: "Okay." ”
Wang Xiyue said: "The reason why Changle Hou's painting is famous is because you are very good at painting beauties, and the most unusual thing is that you can not only brush up the peaks and peaks, but also look very natural, I heard that it is a few points more real than real people." Today I want you to paint two paintings for me, one is the original taste, what it should look like, and the other one, let me see your most famous 'beauty rises, peaks rise'. ”
Su Nianfan frowned slightly, and then said calmly: "Yes, please give me pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”
Wang Xiyue looked at him, "Do you think you've suffered a loss?"
Su Nianfan said: "I don't have a precedent for making two paintings for a beautiful woman at once, but with the identity and beauty of the king's shopkeeper, it doesn't hurt to make an exception." ”
Wang Xiyue showed a bright smile, "You fart is doing well, you can talk more than the prince of Zhao." ”
Su Nianfan said: "This is not a compliment, I mean it." ”
Wang Xiyue clapped her palms.
Not long after, a maid sent pen, ink, paper, inkstone, wooden boards and paints for support.
The female shopkeeper had already left the desk, walked to the Huali screen on the side, and sat on the back chair.
Su Nianfan glanced at the polished ink, his eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly settled down and began to paint.
Half of Wang Xiyue's body was covered by the desk, and she couldn't see it really, but now that there is no cover, she can finally see the whole picture of the beauty. The beauty is really beautiful, with a tall figure, a slender willow waist, attractive collarbones, and shaved shoulders. And she gives people a sense of maturity with a lot of background, exuding irresistible nobility and dignity between her cheeks and frowns.
This female shopkeeper is good anywhere, but it's a pity that it's really flat, if it is divided by the realm, it is about a level of enlightenment at most will not exceed the artistic conception, and the title of the Taiping shopkeeper is really appropriate.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
Wang Xiyue noticed Su Nianfan's expression and vaguely guessed what Su Nianfan was thinking, but she was not annoyed, she just pursed a faint smile on her lips.
Su Nianfan painted very quickly, the brush seemed to have a spirit in his hand, and there was a feeling of flowing water at every turn, which made people feel that it should be like this, with more complicated strokes and less rough strokes.
Wang Xiyue was even more interested.
After a stick of incense.
Su Nianfan put down his pen and said, "Okay." ”
He blew casually, and the ink on the painting dried.
The maid took the two paintings, couldn't help but take a look, it turned out that there was still a little doubt on her face, at this time there was only amazement and incredulity, after presenting it to Wang Xiyue, she couldn't help but glance at Su Nianfan, it is normal for the princes and nobles to have some interests and hobbies, but it is the first time she has seen it as magical as Su Nianfan.
Wang Xiyue glanced at the two paintings in hand, and couldn't help but praise: "The paintings are really good." ”
The two paintings, one with a flat river and the other with undulating peaks and valleys, sound like two people, but under Su Nianfan's pen, they can make people feel that both of them are their own.
The same is a compliment, her voice is different from other beauties, and it is also different from the maid's heartfelt appreciation.
is not only because she is the female shopkeeper of the Wanghai Chamber of Commerce and a once-in-a-century female middle school wizard, but more importantly, she sees farther and more deeply.
Such a miraculous painting is called a spiritual map by the people of Yushan Academy.
If it was really a spirit map, used as an addition to the exchange of a hundred sea clouds, then she took advantage of it.
Wang Xiyue continued to admire, and suddenly her eyebrows raised slightly, as if she was a little angry, "It's not a small bold." ”
