Chapter 8: Apprenticeship (10 o'clock tonight)

Xiao Baoju returned to his room, first cleaned up his salute, then made a cup of tea and sat at the door and drank hot tea in a daze. These tea leaves are still jasmine flowers given by the second uncle, and the aroma is full of refreshing people's hearts. Xiao Baoju mentally calculated, if he could see Liu Siqi tomorrow, he would definitely give her that painting!

"Who are you? How did it end up here? What do you do? At this time, a man walked over from the front yard and looked at Xiao Baoju and asked with a wary expression.

"I.... I am the teacher's apprentice, my name is Xiao Baoju! Xiao Baoju hurriedly stood up, because he was not familiar with this place, no matter who Xiao Baoju saw, he didn't dare to be rude.

"Oh... You are Xiao Baoju? My dad's new apprentice? I've heard of you! "The person who came was Wang Linkai's son, Wang Tao, although he was 35 years old, he was a well-known loser in Zicheng. Wang Tao just nodded lightly, didn't say anything, turned his head and went to the front yard.

Xiao Baoju didn't know what the teacher's son was called, so he just stood there stupidly, slightly embarrassed. It wasn't until noon that Zhao just called Xiao Baoju and asked him to eat at the restaurant in Villa 1. Xiao Baoju saw a middle-aged man standing at the door of Villa No. 1 from a distance, and when he stepped forward, the middle-aged man also walked over happily. "You're Senior Brother Baoju, right? My name is Wang Bing. You can also call me senior brother, today the teacher has a bureau at noon, Brother Zhao arranged for me to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment! When the bearded Wang Bing saw Xiao Baoju coming over, he greeted Xiao Baoju happily.

"Hello senior brother, thank you, senior brother!" Xiao Baoju greeted Wang Bing very stiffly.

"Haha~~ Let's go, let's go eat first!" Wang Bing patted Xiao Baoju on the shoulder and led him into the cafeteria. The cafeteria is not big, with only two tables. There were more than a dozen people eating inside, and Wang Bing walked in with Xiao Baoju, "Let me introduce to you, this is the student that the teacher just accepted, Xiao Baoju." is also our little junior brother, Baoju, to introduce to you, this is the senior brother Zhao Zelin. This is Zhou Qi, you have to be called the fifth senior sister, this is Shao Lin, also your senior sister, Linlin is the ninth child, you are the tenth ......" Wang Bing introduced Xiao Baoju in detail, most of the others were staff of the art center, and Wang Bing just introduced it briefly. It's just that Xiao Baoju is a little puzzled, the eldest brother, the third child, the fifth child, and the ninth child are here, but what about the other apprentices?

Everyone didn't talk much, and they ate their own meals. Although the quality of the meal is a big pot dish, the taste is still quite good, and the combination of meat and vegetables makes Xiao Baoju more comfortable to eat. It's just that no alcohol is served in the cafeteria, and there doesn't seem to be any wine around, Xiao Baoju keeps these details in mind.

After eating, everyone went back to rest, and Xiao Baoju found that only he and Ninth Senior Sister Shao Lin lived in the last row of houses, Shao Lin lived in the east, and he lived in the west. However, Shao Lin didn't mean to talk to Xiao Baoju, but just looked very tired. After staying for most of the day, Xu Yan felt that the art center seemed to be happy on the surface, but the big guys were all in harmony and kept a certain distance from each other. Do a lot of work on the surface, but don't feel the slightest warmth?

In Xiao Baoju's dormitory, there was not even a TV, and after lying on the bed and reading a book for a while, Xiao Baoju gradually fell asleep, if it wasn't for Zhao Gang coming to knock on the door, it is estimated that Xiao Baoju would be able to sleep until night. "Brother Zhao, squinted just now? Have you finished dinner with your teacher? Xiao Baoju hurriedly opened the door and invited Zhao Gang to come into the house and sit down.

"Haha, Baoju is good for a nap, and he is mentally heady in the afternoon. The master asked me to come over and explain to you, the process of apprenticeship tomorrow ....." Zhao Gang told Xiao Baoju in detail, the whole process is very standardized, it can be said that it is not the first time that people have done it, of course, the whole process has nothing to do with him except for Xiao Baoju kowtowing and serving tea. But Xiao Baoju knew very well in his heart that this was his chance to change his fate. Wang Linkai seems to have become a life-saving straw for Xiao Baoju.

Xiao Baoju came to the art center for the first night of insomnia, until the early morning came to sleep in a daze, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Xiao Baoju was called to the No. 1 villa, under the guidance of Zhao Gang step by step, a solemn face to Wang Linkai tea, kowtow, and handed over the apprenticeship post, this is considered a ceremony.

Wang Linkai is also generous enough, he set up a banquet in the canteen at noon, and for lunch today, there were some beers on the table. Wang Linkai also rarely came to the cafeteria to gather with his disciples. "Zelin, the old ten just came, and everything is still very unfamiliar, so you will bring it first?" Wang Linkai said to Zhao Zelin.

"Okay teacher, I'll take the old ten first! Let him learn "Fortune at the Head"? Zhao Zelin nodded without a wave on his face and agreed.

"Yes, you also started with "Fortune at the Head", you take the old ten! Teach him! Baoju, you learn from your senior brother first, if you don't know what, you can come and ask me! ”

"Good teacher, I will definitely study hard with my senior brother! Big brother, I'm sorry for you! Xiao Baoju picked up his wine glass and respectfully toasted Zhao Zelin!

Zhao Zelin has his own independent office in Wang Linkai Art Center, that is, on the second floor of the exhibition hall of Villa 2. "Baoju, have you ever been exposed to Chinese painting before? I don't know much about your situation, tell me about yours? Zhao Zelin poured Xiao Baoju a cup of tea, and the two sat down and said.

"Senior brother, I have never been exposed to Chinese painting, I used to study architectural design in school, but I also learned oil painting, pastel and other Western paintings!" Xiao Baoju didn't dare to hide anything, and said truthfully to Zhao Zelin.

"Since you have some drawing skills, it's much easier. In this way, Baoju, it is not practical for you to follow the method I learned before, let's have a quick way to assault, you come with me! Zhao Zelin took Xiao Baoju to another studio on the second floor, the room of the studio is more than 40 square meters, and there is a huge painting wall on the wall, which is covered with a white iron plate, and a layer of canvas is laid on the surface. There is a computer connected to the projector on the roof next to the wall, and after Zhao Zelin operated, the projector mapped a painting of "Fortune at the Head" on the painting wall. As Zhao Zelin took out a 4-foot piece of rice paper and fixed it with a magnet nail, "Baoju, you see this is the "Fortune Head" that the teacher asked you to practice, this is very simple, you just take the brush and start copying. You'll call me after you draw one. Zhao Zelin happily pointed to the wall and said to Xiao Baoju.
