Chapter 14: Copying Fifty Times
Although his waist is a little sore today, Xiao Baoju feels that his hands are very smooth and his mind is exceptionally clear. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" records: Therefore, it is said: Heaven and earth, the upper and lower of all things; Yin and yang, men and women of flesh and blood; Left and right, the path of yin and yang; Those who are water and fire, the signs of yin and yang; Yin and Yang are the beginning of the energy of all things. Therefore, it is said: Yin is inside, and Yang is guarded; Yang is outside, and Yin is also the messenger.
Xiao Baoju and Shao Lin, the two of them also discussed, their relationship is temporarily kept secret in the compound, what should be done before or what should be done in the future! Xiao Baoju now feels that his life is very 'rushing'. With Zhao Zelin painting 8 "Fortune Head" and getting a commission of 8,000 yuan, Xiao Baoju is indeed very popular, so he works hard when copying, but Xiao Baoju's progress is also obvious to all. Under the subtle guidance of his teacher Wang Linkai, Xiao Baoju's fiftieth "Fortune Head" can be completely fake.
"Boko, good! It's really good, you've made a lot of progress during this time! When Xiao Baoju found Wang Linkai with his copy of "Fortune at the Head", the old man put on reading glasses and looked at them carefully, and then nodded and said after a long time. Zelin, Xiao Zhao, you all came over to take a look, Lao Shi's paintings! ”
"Master, can the two "Fortune Head" ordered by Green Gallery a few days ago be tried by Lao Shi?" Zhao Gangzai took a closer look at Xiao Baoju's copy of Wang Linkai's painting, and I have to say that Xiao Baoju is really talented in this regard.
"Yes, let Baoju try it! Baoju, you draw two according to this standard. There is still no need to make a payment, your senior brother knows this, and you can't let you paint in vain if you paint, and I will give you a commission when the time comes. Zhao Gang will talk to you then? Wang Linkai said very bluntly.
"Yes, Teacher." Xiao Baoju was also excited, which indicated that he had recently copied the teacher's painting, and he could make a living from it.
At night, it was still Shao Lin who accompanied Xiao Baoju to paint in the studio, but he didn't expect someone to knock on the door outside the studio, Shao Lin opened the door and saw Zhao Gang standing at the door, and the two were immediately stunned. "You... What are you doing here? Shao Lin looked at Zhao Gang with some surprise and asked.
"I'm here to talk to Pony about something. You're going to avoid it for a while, right? Zhao Gang didn't have a good face for Shao Lin, although he wanted to get this woman in his heart, but since Shao Lin went to Wang Linkai to sue him, Zhao Gang was a little disgraced. Since then, Zhao Gang has not had a good face for Shao Lin.
"Baoju, I'll go back to my office first!" Shao Lin didn't pay attention to Zhao Gang, turned her head and said something to Xiao Baoju, and then returned to her office to wait for Xiao Baoju.
"Brother Zhao, please take a seat. Haven't you been back so late? "Xiao Baoju doesn't mess with Zhao Gang, and he doesn't dare to mess with him!
"Baoju, I'll talk to you about your commission, Baoju, the master also said today, I am fully responsible for this matter, I discussed it with the master, considering that you just came. If you paint a painting of "Fortune on the Head", the commission you will be given is 300 yuan! Zhao Gang didn't come to discuss with Xiao Baoju at all, but said in a commanding tone.
“300? Brother Zhao, I heard that the senior brother painted a thousand paintings? I... Xiao Baoju looked at Zhao Gang with some surprise and said, in fact, the 300 yuan made Xiao Baoju's heart quite devastated!
"Brother Baoju, the price of the senior brother was set by the master, how long has the senior brother been here? If you behave well, you'll have a chance! ”
Xiao Baoju listened to Zhao Gang's words, and weighed it in his heart, it is true that the senior brother Zhao Zelin followed Wang Linkai when he was a child, and it is natural to take more. And this price was ordered by Wang Linkai, so he didn't have much to say. Who made themselves late? "Okay, let's follow the number the teacher said! Thank you, Brother Zhao! Xiao Baoju nodded in agreement.
"Baoju, don't worry, after a while. I'll talk to the master about this again, but brother, let's talk about it, the most taboo thing in the compound is to compare with each other. You must not disclose this commission to others, especially Shao Lin, a girl, this woman has a bad mouth, and her reputation is not good. Be careful, don't let her get tangled! Hey, hey..." Zhao Gang's mouth is too disgusting.
When Zhao Gang was leaving, Xiao Baoju sent him downstairs and watched him drive away from the compound before Xiao Baoju returned upstairs and came to Shao Lin's office. "Baoju, why did Zhao Gang come to you?" Shao Lin looked at Xiao Baoju's sullen appearance and asked.
"When you come to talk to me about the commission, Zhao Gang said that the teacher ordered me 300 yuan for a painting. Hehe·· Linlin, I'm not as good as a mason! Xiao Baoju laughed at himself.
"Only give 300 yuan? That's too much, isn't it? The teacher's "Fortune at the Head" sold for 50,000 pieces? 300? Hehe··· Are you kidding? Shao Lin was stunned, she never expected it to be such a price? Tonight, the two also talked about it, Shao Lin estimated to Xiao Baoju that the senior brother of a painting was 1000, and Xiao Baoju was 800 yuan. That's a lot worse than expected! "Baoju, what are you going to do? Do you want to talk to your teacher? ”
"How? Linlin, I haven't been here for a long time, and it's not appropriate to talk to the teacher about this. It's a big deal that I try a little harder and draw two pictures a day. Xiao Baoju said helplessly. Although I don't have financial pressure now, who would dislike having more money? Moreover, he has no house, no car, and wants to give Shao Lin a home, all of which are inseparable from a money word!
"Then you'll work too hard, people will feel distressed!" Shao Lin is a mature woman who knows what men need when and when, and this is the charm of a mature woman. She took the initiative to come over and hug Xiao Baoju and give him a trace of warmth!
With orders comes motivation. The two "Fortune Heads", Xiao Baoju painted them in one day, and they were delivered with quality and quantity. In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Gang stuffed Xiao Baoju with a red envelope of 600 yuan, and Xiao Baoju was quite happy to get the money, at least he saw the return goods.
"Senior brother, are you busy?" Xiao Baoju came to the office of the senior brother Zhao Zelin and greeted the senior brother with a smile.
"Baoju? Something? Zhao Zelin raised his head, looked at Xiao Baoju and said with a faint expression.
"That... Senior brother, I... I want to treat you to dinner tonight? Xiao Baoju was stunned, Senior Brother's attitude today is still very subtle! It's just that he didn't figure out what it was for a while!
"Eat? I have something to do tonight, and I can't go! Thank you, Baoko! After Zhao Zelin finished speaking lightly, he lowered his head and continued to be busy with his own affairs.
Xiao Baoju put a cold ass on his hot face, returned to the studio depressedly, lit a cigarette for himself and fell into deep thought. Don't? Xiao Baoju thought of a point, found out the problem, painted two "Fortune Head" by himself, and took the money. Then it is equivalent to the elder brother earning 2,000 yuan less! This... Cut off people's financial routes? Is it strange that Zhao Zelin can have a good face for himself?
