In Shen Yunyan's boudoir, Song Nan drank tea slowly and chatted with Shen Yunyan.

"Until now, I haven't congratulated you on winning the second seat last night, it must have made many people's eyes fall to the ground, tell me about the rest of last night." Song Nan asked with a smile.

"It's not that Song Gongzi has given me a good point, thank you Gongzi. Yes, after last night, everyone brought people to congratulate, and the two masters, Tang Yin and Wen Zhengming, also came to congratulate me on the Yunxiao Pavilion Flower Boat, I was really happy. Tang Yin also praised my song and the new lyrics for being well written, and specially asked me to take away two pairs of them written by myself. Talking about last night, Shen Yunyan's eyes were bright and radiant.

"Congratulations, I can get the favor of the judges, it seems that tonight can help, but don't expect too much to rely on favors; I heard before that there was a mysterious person who bought five of the top ten famous buildings in Qinhuai, and you were famous last night, didn't anyone mention it? ”

Shen Yunyan's expression darkened, and he stopped talking; The mother standing on the side interjected angrily: "Why not? When everyone got on the boat to congratulate, they mentioned this matter again, saying that the prince from Jiangxi hoped that our Yunxiao Pavilion would reconsider selling it to him, and the old man would save this property all his life, but they wanted to take it away, so don't think about it. ”

Song Nan was stunned and said, "What Fang Qingshan said? ”

"Yes, everyone Fang is talking for the prince, hey, the old body is up and down in my heart, before my Yunxiao Pavilion was nothing in the top ten famous buildings, and it was nothing after the prince wanted to buy Yunxiao Pavilion and was rejected, last night Yunyan was famous and shocked Qin Huai, and my Yunxiao Pavilion suddenly became a place of attention, I am worried that the prince will definitely not stop if he doesn't buy it."

"The slave family also has the same worry, I heard that this prince likes the famous and big building, a year ago Qiuyue Building, Shuiyue Building, Pinglanju, Wanfang Pavilion, Yihongxuan, the five famous buildings suddenly changed hands; The original owners also moved out of Nanjing City one by one, which is really strange. Someone also talked to his mother about the sale of the Sky Pavilion, but after being rejected by his mother, there was no follow-up. Later, the five famous buildings set up huge buildings and mansions, collected and expanded hundreds of people, it is said that many girls were bought from all over the building to train, and famous teachers and professors of poetry, calligraphy and painting were invited from all over the world; Last night, Gu Mercy was the best of them. That Gu Lianlian was actually only fourteen years old. ”

Song Nan's heart was lifted, and he asked quietly, "Do you know what they are training these women for?" ”

"Then you need to ask? The slogan shouted by the five famous buildings is that the five buildings want to monopolize the Nanjing flower shop. They are indeed not lying to say, in the past year, my Yunxiao Pavilion and several others have been operating dismally, otherwise why do I have to participate in this Oiran selection? After last night, the building was overcrowded today, and the prince should have seen it just now, and this is the result of winning a good ranking in the Oiran competition. ”

Song Nan nodded slightly and said, "What did Fang Qingshan say last night?" ”

Mother said: "Everyone Fang said that the prince from Jiangxi wants to pay a lot of money to buy our Yunxiao Pavilion, and hopes that the old body can agree to his request, otherwise even if the Yunyan Girl Oiran Contest achieves a good ranking, it will be difficult to save the fate of Yunxiao Pavilion's decline." ”

Song Nan nodded lightly.

"Also, everyone Fang seemed to suspect that someone behind me was pointing out last night, so they took a few turns around my boat to check, but fortunately, the slave family removed all the traces left by Gongzi, and everyone Fang didn't seem to be in a good mood." Shen Yunyan said in a low voice.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Fang Qingshan must already be a rich prince's person, right?"

"Yes, everyone Fang turned out to be a wild crane idle cloud, which of the top ten famous buildings didn't want to invite him to take charge? But none of them did. Although everyone loves money, he has never done anything bad to the people of our top ten famous buildings; But since the prince came here and bought a few buildings, everyone Fang followed him as a lobbyist for some reason. His songs, dances, and poems are only available to the five famous buildings, like us, who are not the buildings under the prince, and want to ask everyone to write a song, as soon as he opens his mouth, it is 100,000 taels, and it is clear that he is unwilling. ”

Song Nan thought for a while, then came back to his senses and patted his thigh and said, "Okay, the gossip is almost over, let's get down to business." There's a reason why I let you choose to paint, we're all used to seeing paintings like freehand landscapes, flowers and birds, even if it's Tang Jieyuan, he can't help but paint like this. Of course he painted the spring. The picture of the palace is another matter. ”

Shen Yunyan's face turned red, Tang Yin's gongbi chun. The palace picture is a very widely circulated thing in the dark in this dynasty, Shen Yunyan has also secretly seen a few pictures, and he is blushing and hot, Song Nan should not want to paint spring by himself. Palace map, that's definitely not possible, in front of everyone's eyes, draw those pictures, and it will become a talking handle in the future.

"We don't paint any of these, I'm going to teach you a new way of drawing, hmm...... Ask my mother to go out and buy me some linen weaving, a little more, because I need to practice; In addition, I went to the dyeing room and brought back a large portion of all their pigment powder. ”

Everyone didn't know what to do, but Song Nan ordered, so they could only do it, and Mother Sang ordered two little maids to go outside quickly, and before the tea time was enough, a horse of linen and a large bag of paint powder were bought. Song Nan rolled up his sleeves, asked for a jar of oil and placed more than a dozen large bowls on the table, mixed various pigments with oil, dipped a little bit of a brush on the linen to try the color, and after working for half an hour, he finally said: "It's done, although it's not an authentic paint authentic canvas, but it can make do with painting." ”

"Childe, do you want me to take the colors of these oils and paint on this cloth?"

"Yes, remember to tell them, this is your original painting method, called oil painting."

"But does it look good like that?"

Song Nan smiled: "Whether it looks good or not is another matter, oil painting pays attention to strong colors, extremely realistic reproduction of scenes, and can paint light and shadow effects, just like a living thing, which is very different from our ink painting." With your foundation, I don't think it's hard to get started. In this way, you can draw a picture of the vase of flowers on the table. Pay attention to the change of color, you can modulate the color, pay attention to the change of light and shadow effects, and paint as if it were real. ”

Shen Yunyan licked his lips, lifted the paintbrush with a trembling hand, and Song Nan suddenly said: "I almost forgot, the brush is too soft, it is still absolutely impossible, and it must be done with a small brush; Yes. Song Nan patted his head, grabbed the scissors and cut off half of the hairy head of the long brush in Shen Yunyan's hand with a click, and the originally oval and sharp tip suddenly became a flat small brush.

Song Nan nodded and said, "It's done, this is just right, take a dozen more and cut off all the nibs." ”

Everyone's white eyes rolled to the ground, and they heard the sound of Kaka rubbing, and more than a dozen bald brushes were born, one by one being placed in the paint bowl.

In later generations, Song Nan also shot and hunted extensively, but this oil painting was still studied in the university interest class for two summers, and it was only a little superficial. But this bit of fur is enough for Shen Yunyan, who has a good foundation in painting, to comprehend the essence, the two of them are a gesture, a brush, after destroying the canvas, a pair of potted flowers with strong and lifelike colors appear on the canvas; It is indeed a little rough up close, and the canvas and paint are not suitable, but when viewed from a distance, you can see the wonderful and realistic intensity.

"It's good, it's good to be like this for the first time, but in the next few hours, you have to continue to paint, to get familiar with the dipping of the canvas, the blending of paints and the transformation of colors, these can only be understood by yourself; Of course, you have to think about what you're going to draw tonight. ”

"The slave family knows that the slave family will work hard." Shen Yunyan is full of energy, and once she tries this novel painting method, she has a feeling of being unable to stop, and her feelings have also come up.

"However, if you practice drawing all the time, what should you do about the way of Go?" Shen Yunyan suddenly turned around and asked.

Song Nan smiled bitterly: "Do you think I'm an immortal, a game like Go that relies entirely on intelligence, you can only look at yourself, can I put my head on your head?" ”

Shen Yunyan stuck out her tongue and turned her head to paint, but at some point, with Song Nan by her side, she had no idea of her own at all.
