The annual accommodation fee of 1,000 taels of silver was indeed not paid in vain.

The villa is very large with five bedrooms on the ground floor alone. It was a room for the servants.

No matter what the room is, it is made of fine mahogany furniture, which looks shiny and thick.

On the first floor, there is a kitchen, dining room, lounge, studio, and study.

The kitchen has a stove, pots and pans, knives, cases, and more. The house is very complete.

The dining room is not small, with a table of eight immortals that can seat ten people.

In the lounge, there are two sofa-like mahogany benches, as well as a desk and a treasure pavilion. There are a lot of ornaments on the Duobao Pavilion.

The shelves in the study were empty, but they were so large that they took up a full wall of space.

The lighting in the studio is very good, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are inlaid with glass with very good light transmittance. Even in rainy weather, painting is good.

The second floor is also home to five bedrooms, especially the master bedroom, which is very large, with a bathroom and a clean room.

The bed in the bedroom is a carved log bed. Just put on the bed, take out the futon, and you're ready to go.

The other bedrooms are for the followers of the warriors. It's not as big as the master bedroom, but it's not small.

The villa is so complete, you don't need to prepare anything at all, just clean it, spread the futon, and you can move in.

After the three of them finished looking at the house, they were ready to leave.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the villa. Yuan Yuanden was puzzled, he hadn't moved in yet, who would visit him?

When I went out, it turned out to be Qi Rongzhi and Wu Qingguang.

With a smile on their faces, the two men walked in side by side.

As soon as Wu Qingguang saw Yuan Yuan, he shouted, "Brother Yuan, we know that you chose Villa No. 18, I chose Villa No. 19, and Brother Rong chose Villa No. 20." The villas of the three of us are connected, so it is very convenient to visit each other in the future. ”

Listening to Wu Qingguang's words, Yuan Yuan also laughed. Wu Qingguang is bold and generous, Qi Rongzhi is gentle and elegant, they will also be classmates in the future, and they will definitely spend a lot of time together, with these two friends, his life in the academy will definitely not be too dull.

Qi Rongzhi smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, let's just come and see, say hello, and then tell you our villa number." When you have time in the future, you can go to our villa to play. Today to register, move, there are still a lot of things, we will not bother. ”

Yuan Yuan immediately said, "Yes, there are still some things today, and when today is over, you are welcome to come and play." ”

Qi Rongzhi listened, nodded, pulled Wu Qingguang and left.

Yuan Yuan smiled, he didn't expect these two people to be so considerate. He did have something.

I want to let Wu Da Niu take Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu, and bring all the daily things in the small courtyard.

He and Zhen Bao also had to go to the Jihua Hall and buy some painting supplies.

Walking to the door of the villa, Zhen Bao gave the key to the villa to Wu Daniu, and asked Wu Daniu to pick up Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu, and bring over the daily things by the way.

Tonight, they're supposed to be staying here.

As for the small courtyard, it was locked up. After all, if there is something going on in the future, or if you leave the academy, you still have a place to stay in Junyang.

Yuan Yuan and Zhen Bao walked towards the Jihua Hall.

I'm going to study at the art academy. It is impossible to always use paper and paint that contains aura, that would be too extravagant and too expensive. You also need to buy a set of ordinary paper and paint, which you can use when you practice painting on weekdays.

Moreover, in Yuan Yuan's painting dictionary, there is no watercolor paper, watercolor paint, or watercolor brush. These are also bought.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yuan played the drums a little. Although he has seen a lot of watercolor paintings, he has never painted them. As for the junior students, everyone else must have tried watercolor painting.

Speaking of which, among these fifty people, his watercolor skills should be the worst.

Seeing Yuan Yuan's expression, Zhen Bao guessed what Yuan Yuan was thinking, and Zhen Bao said, "Young Master, watercolor is not so difficult. You have a good foundation in oil painting and freehand painting, and you will soon become proficient in watercolor. Don't worry too much. ”

Yuan Yuan nodded.

The painting academy is not far from the Jihua Hall, and you will arrive through a street.

Because the first grade of the painting academy is about to start, there are still a lot of people in the collection hall. Many people took advantage of the free time after registration and moving to come to Jihuatang to buy some things.

When Yuan Yuan and Zhen Bao walked into the Jihua Hall, there were seven or eight teenagers inside, with their retinues, following the martial artists to buy things.

Tang Xiaoshan was very happy to see Yuan Yuan coming, although he was a little busy, he still took advantage of the gap and came over to greet Yuan Yuan.

"Yuan Yuan, did you come here today to buy something?" asked Tang Xiaoshan.

Yuan Yuan nodded, "Yes, Brother Xiaoshan, I'll buy some paints, paper, and a set of pens for watercolor painting." ”

Tang Xiaoshan smiled, "Yuan Yuan, I'll let Li Xiaowu come to receive you first." He's been learning to sell paintbrushes with his brother lately. When you buy a paintbrush, you have to choose carefully, after all, it will last a lifetime. ”

Although Tang Xiaoshan's words were a bit exaggerated, they were not wrong. Brushes take the longest, and they are more expensive. If the brush is not easy to use and you don't choose it well, it will have a big impact.

After all, both paper and paint are consumable items. Just buy a few at a time, buy a little. If the quality of the purchase is not good, it will not work well for a few days. When you buy it next time, pay attention to the paint after you buy it.

But when I bought a paintbrush, it would take many years. Therefore, it is very important to choose a set of brushes that fit your eyes and hands.

Although the reputation of Jihuatang is outside, it is unlikely that the quality will not be up to par, but after all, I am not afraid of 10,000, I am afraid of just in case.

As he spoke, Tang Xiaoshan shouted, "Li Xiaowu, you come to receive Painter Yuan." He was going to buy a set of watercolor brushes. ”

In front of outsiders, Tang Xiaoshan was still very attentive and did not call Yuan Yuan's name. Zhen Bao, who was beside him, nodded contentedly.

Listening to Tang Xiaoshan's words, Li Xiaowu immediately ran over, "Brother Xiaoshan, I'm here." ”

Then, Li Xiaowu bowed to Yuan Yuan, "Painter Yuan, please come with me to buy watercolor brushes." ”

At this time, Li Xiaowu no longer had any rejection or hatred for Yuan Yuan.

Although at that time, when Jihuatang chose his partner, he lost to Yuan Yuan, and he was a little pimple for Yuan Yuan in his heart.

However, later learned Yuan Yuan's identity and strength from Li Xiaosi. In the past two days, he has seen Yuan Yuan's ranking on the Heavenly Painting List again, and in addition to admiration and respect for Yuan Yuan in his heart, he no longer has the slightest resentment.

People are like that. If a person is slightly better than you, you will be jealous and will feel uncomfortable.

However, when a person's identity is too different from yours, it is simply what you need to look up to. There will be no such thing as jealousy in your heart.

Even Li Xiaowu felt a little honored in his heart to be able to receive Yuan Yuan, who was at the top of the Heavenly Painting List.

When he arrived at the counter selling paintbrushes, Yuan Yuan looked over and saw rows of brushes placed there. There are oil brushes, watercolor brushes, freehand brushes, gongbi brushes, and rune brushes.

Watercolor brushes, mostly made of wool. The wool is delicate and soft, highly absorbent, and can be very friendly with watercolor pigments.

However, these watercolor brushes are not made of ordinary wool.

These sheep live in a place full of spiritual energy, and they are fed vegetables and fruits that contain spiritual energy every day.

When I was two years old, when I was young and strong, and my hair was at its best, I shaved off my wool and made a pen.

There are also watercolor brushes made of mink fur, which are better and more expensive than watercolor brushes of wool.

A watercolor brush made of wool is a low-grade watercolor brush. And the watercolor brush made of mink hair is a medium-grade watercolor brush.

In the collection hall, there are only low-grade watercolor brushes made of wool and medium-grade watercolor brushes made of mink fur. There is no top-grade, superb, super-grade watercolor brush here.

The high-quality, superb, and super-fine watercolor brushes are all made from the hair of more rare animals.

Those animals are rarer, it is more difficult to obtain hair, and even the process of making a pen is not so easy, requiring a master craftsman to make it.

There are fifteen watercolor brushes. From the smallest number one pen, to the largest number fifteen pen.

Most people will choose a few numbers that they are used to and buy a few. Yuan Yuan decided to choose a watercolor brush made of ten mink furs.

Li Xiaowu was very attentive, and according to the numbers selected by Yuan Yuan, he took out a few paintbrushes for Yuan Yuan to choose.

Yuan Yuan held a watercolor brush made of mink fur and tested the comfort of holding the barrel. Then, with your other hand, lightly touch the hair on the tip of the pen.

It is very elastic and relatively soft...... It is worthy of a watercolor brush made of mink fur. More elastic than those made of wool. Flexibility, water absorption should also be better.

In the end, Yuan Yuan made a good choice.

Each pen is anywhere from two to ten spirit stones. Yuan Yuan chose ten pens and spent more than three hundred spirit stones. This is not expensive.

These watercolor brushes will accompany Yuan Yuan to spend the time he will spend painting watercolors in the future.

Seeing that Yuan Yuan had made a choice, Zhen Baobao next to him went up and paid the spirit stone.

Then, Yuan Yuan decided to buy some paints and paper.

Li Xiaowu took Yuan Yuan to the counter selling paper. At this time, Zhou Chengren and Zhou Chengfu were busy getting papers for guests.

Seeing Li Xiaowu bringing Yuan Yuan over, Zhou Chengren, Zhou Chengfu showed a smile at Yuan Yuan.

Zhou Chengfu immediately walked over, "Painter Yuan, what paper do you need?"

Yuan Yuan counted it carefully, "Oil painting paper, watercolor paper, rice paper, containing aura, and ten pieces of ordinary everything." That is, sixty sheets of paper are needed. ”

The models of the paper are all the same size. Three feet long and wide. When I go back, I want to cut it. Depending on the size of the painting, it can be cut into different sizes.

The number of ten sheets of each kind is enough for Yuan Yuan to spend a lot of time.

Zhou Chengfu immediately said, "Okay, a total of six spirit stones, three taels of silver." Please wait, I'll take it out for you right away and roll it up. ”

At this time, a yin and yang strange voice came from the side, "Obviously, I came earlier than him, why did you entertain him first? This is too much, right? Do you still have any rules in the Painting Hall?"
