Moreover, Yuan Yuan also knew that although it was difficult to obtain these two things, the origin was indeed in Azhou.

There is a stretch of mountains and rivers in the northern part of Aju called Mount Taia.

Mount Tai'a runs east-west.

To the west, there is a mine that produces black jade.

And the velvet marten is found in Tai'a Mountain.

"Of course, if you don't want to go to Moyu, Velvet Marten. I can also settle for the next best thing and make a brush for you with the materials I have in my hands. However, the quality is certainly not as good as that of brushes made of black jade and velvet mink. Zhong Zhen said.

Yuan Yuan shook his head, "Since the master values the kid so much, how can the kid live up to the master." When the semester was over and the winter break was over, the kid went to look for Moyu and Velvet Marten. ”

Zhong Zhen showed a hint of surprise on his face, "You are a student of the Shangpin Painting Academy, don't you know?"

Yuan Yuan was a little dazed, "What don't you know?"

Zhong Zhen smiled, "All students who are officially students of the Shangpin Painting Academy have the right to travel for two months every academic year. This two-month trip can be made at any time during the school year. I suggest you go to Tai Ah Shan in a month. At that time, it was the season when the velvet marten was fat and easy to hunt. ”

Yuan Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this. But there was no doubt about Zhong Zhen's words.

I was surprised because the Tai'a Shangpin Painting Institute gave students such a big right to travel for two months.

That is to say, for two months, students can do whatever they want, without worrying about grades or the rules of the academy.

It can be said that it is the ultimate freedom.

If you are a student who has no self-discipline ability, you can spend these two months drinking and messing around, and waste two months in vain.

However, Yuan Yuan also knew that he was thinking about such things. The students of Tai'a Shangpin Painting Academy will definitely not do it.

The students of the Tai'a Shangpin Painting Academy who have already met, no matter what their character is, no matter what their temperament is, they all seem to be hard-working cultivators.

Moreover, the rotation competition system of the Tai'a Shangpin Painting Academy made these students tired to cope. Most people probably don't mess around.

The pressure is so great, other people's talents are so good, and the cultivation is still afraid that the time will not be enough, who will waste time at will.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yuan sighed again with the grandeur of the dean of the Tai'a Shangpin Painting Academy. It is really courageous to be able to put two months in the hands of the students in this way.

Yuan Yuan said, "Okay, master, in a month." I'll set off in search of the black jade and the velvet marten. If I am lucky enough to bring back the materials that the master needs, I will ask the master to make a brush for me. ”

Zhong Zhen nodded, "No problem." If you can get your hands on the black jade and velvet mink fur, why not do your best to make three sets of paintbrushes for you. ”

And Ah Hong was also surprised next to him.

When he first met this young man, even he thought that the master would not see him.

But after seeing this young man, and when this young man took out the best spirit stone, the old man decided to really follow the young man's request. Make three sets of paintbrushes for the teenager.

What's more, in fact, it wasn't that no one had brought Moyu and velvet marten before. I asked the master to make high-quality brushes, but the master refused.

Because, the ink jade is difficult to figure out, the hardness is too great, and although the hair of the velvet mink is good, it is very labor-intensive to make.

So. In the past, the old man had never made a paintbrush made of black jade and velvet marten.

However, for the sake of this young man, the old man actually offered to use these two materials to make paintbrushes.

It can be seen that although the best spirit stone is good, it is the same. The old man is also tempted by this young man.

valued the talent and talent of this teenager, and was ready to do his best to make three sets of brushes for this teenager, and also to form a good relationship with this teenager.

Ah Hong has followed Zhong Zhen for many years, and Zhong Zhen's mind really hasn't been hidden from him.

Zhong Zhen really valued Yuan Yuan's talent and made such a decision.

Yuan Yuan took the best spirit stone and put it in Zhong Zhen's hand, "Master, the kid will leave now, don't bother the master, wait for a few months, the kid will get the ink jade, velvet mink fur, and he will definitely come to find the master again." ”

Zhong Zhen said, "Boy, you take back the best spirit stone first, and when I finish the paintbrush for you, you can give me the best spirit stone." ”

Yuan Yuan smiled calmly, "The master is noble, and he is a strong man in the realm of the Painting Sect, and the kid can trust the master." The master will definitely not ignore the kid's spirit stone. The master will accept these spirit stones first. ”

Zhong Zhen laughed, "Yes, not only did you come up with something that made me excited, but your talent also made me excited, and now, your character also made me excited." Such a wild and uninhibited teenager who doesn't value his possessions really makes me feel gratifying. ”

Listening to Zhong Zhen's praise, Yuan Yuan's face was still light, without the slightest sense of pride, "Thank you for the master's attention." The boy is leaving. ”

Zhong Zhen nodded, "Ah Hong, send this Yuan Gongzi for me." ”

Ah Hong nodded, "Yuan Gongzi, please come with the villain." ”

Yuan Yuan stood up, bowed to Zhong Zhen again, and then followed Ah Hong in the direction of the gate.

When he arrived at the gate, Ah Hong opened the door, and then made a gesture of invitation to Yuan Yuan.

Yuan Yuan said to Ah Hong, "Farewell." Then he turned and went out of the gate.

Out of the gate, Yuan Yuan's inner excitement, excitement, and joy seemed to jump out of his chest, making him feel that he couldn't suppress it at all.

Finally it worked. Finally persuaded Master Zhong Zhen.

Finally, you can get three sets of custom brushes.

There is nothing more satisfying for a painter than getting a good brush.

Even, Yuan Yuan didn't call a rental carriage, and walked all the way, as fast as the wind, as if he wanted to vent all the excitement in his heart.

When he was about to arrive at the art academy, Yuan Yuan did not go directly to the art academy, but went to the house of Changle Fang.

He believed that Zhen Bao and Wu Daniu should not have returned to the academy at this time. He hadn't seen Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter for several days, and he was going to see them.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Yuan Yuan knocked on the door.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a boy of twelve or thirteen poked his head out.

The young man's skin is very rough, and his complexion is yellowish, which looks like a long-term lack of food.

Although the clothes on the boy's body fit, they looked very strange when worn on the boy's body, as if the boy had never worn such clothes.

There was vigilance in the young man's eyes, a rejection of strangers, a hint of cynicism that he didn't want to show, but existential.

"Who are you looking for?" the young man asked coldly.

Yuan Yuan smiled, "I am the owner of this house." ”

The young man listened to Yuan Yuan's words, his face was full of disbelief, and he was vigilant, "Don't talk nonsense, the owner of the house is my young master." ”

"I'm your young master, are Bao Ye and Da Niu still there?" asked Yuan Yuan calmly.

After listening to Yuan Yuan's words, and hearing Yuan Yuan say Bao Ye and Da Niu, the young man seemed to believe Yuan Yuan's words a little.

However, the vigilance in his eyes still did not dissipate, "The young master didn't say that he was coming today." You wait, I'll call Brother Qiu. ”

As he spoke, the boy slammed the door shut.

Yuan Yuan couldn't laugh or cry. There is really no such thing as him, who was locked up outside his house.

But after a while, I heard a messy footsteps.

The door opened, and Yuan Qiu, as well as several teenagers, walked out.

Yuan Qiu saw Yuan Yuan, and his face showed joy, "Young Master, you are really here, and I still don't believe it when I heard Yuan San say." Who would have thought, you are here. ”

Yuan Yuan smiled, "I went out to do something, and it was done, so I stopped by to see you." ”

Yuan Yuan looked at the few strange teenagers around Yuan Qiu, with a puzzled face, "Who are these people?"

Yuan Qiu said to a few teenagers, "Yuan Yi, Yuan San, Yuan Liu, don't see the young master yet." ”

The three teenagers, with a hint of excitement on their faces, all knelt down on one knee and said, "Meet the young master." ”

Especially Yuan San, who opened the door just now, there was no longer a trace of vigilance and suspicion on his face, and he was all excited.

Yuan Yuan hurriedly helped them up and asked Yuan Qiu, "Are they?"

Yuan Qiu said, "Young Master, you come in first, and I'll tell you slowly." Bao Ye and Brother Da Niu are both performing martial arts, and we will go over together. ”

Yuan Yuan followed Yuan Qiu to the courtyard.

On the way, Yuan Qiu told Yuan Yuan about these teenagers.

These teenagers are orphans without a father or mother.

Do some begging on the streets of Tai'a, running errands for people to make ends meet.

On weekdays, he lives in a dilapidated temple in the north of the city.

In recent times, their livelihoods have become increasingly difficult. One is because Tai'a's city guards, in order to maintain Tai'a's prosperous scene, began to crack down on beggars.

One is that a gang called the Haw Par Gang came out in the north of the city to oppress these teenagers.

Whether the young man begged for money or the money he earned by running errands, he had to pay them fifty percent.

What's more, when they see strong teenagers, the Haw Par Gang will co-opt them like gangs and do some illegal things, ranging from petty theft to murder and robbery.

Many teenagers were reluctant and were beaten by the Haw Par Gang.

That day, Yuan Dong went to inquire about the news, and he needed three people, so he hired three of them.

Yuan Dong found that these three teenagers were not only smart, but also had a very good physique, although they had not eaten enough for a long time.

The most important thing is that these three teenagers have very good personalities. They have done all the things that Yuan Dong explained. Although Yuan Dong gave them the silver money first, they did not slack off at all.

As early as when Yuan Dong and the others entered this mansion and Zhen Bao began to teach them martial arts and martial arts, Zhen Bao said that he should pay attention to talented and good-hearted teenagers, and in the future, like them, cultivate them as a help for the young master.

Therefore, Yuan Dong was tempted by these teenagers.

He asked these teenagers if they were willing to follow the young master, and if they were willing to learn martial arts and martial arts.

When these teenagers encountered such a good thing, they naturally agreed, and they also found a few people who had a good relationship with them and also had good character, and were ready to follow Yuan Dong together.

Yuan Dong accepted the eight of them, named Yuan Yi, and then Yuan Ba. (To be continued.) )
