Chapter 21: I'll Raise You (Explosive Update 4)
Xiao Baoju suddenly made a girlfriend, which made Xiao Jianhong nervous. After stumbling and saying hello to Shao Lin, he beckoned the two to go to the villa. "Second uncle, this is the work I learned from the teacher during this time, and I specially painted one for you." Xiao Baoju said, took out the prepared work from his bag and handed it to Xiao Jianhong.
Xiao Jianhong is a rough man, where does he know how to appreciate Chinese painting? However, if you don't understand it, it doesn't mean that you won't read it, and you can know at a glance that Xiao Baoju's level has been greatly improved recently, and his nephew will become a great painter in the future, which is not empty talk.
Xiao Baoju's house didn't return, so he took Shao Lin to see Xiao Jianhong first, which made Xiao Jianhong quite moved, for local customs, the new daughter-in-law came to the door as an elder to give a red envelope, Xiao Jianhong gave Shao Lin a red envelope of 2000 yuan. "Baoju, don't go back at night, and stay with Linlin in our folk customs, right?"
"I think so too, second uncle! You just don't say it, Linlin and I plan to stay at night, and we can't live if we haven't come back for so long! Xiao Baoju looked at Xiao Jianhong with a smile and said.
"After a while, you will take Linlin directly to live at No. 1 Yaheyuan! Linlin came for the first time, how could I go back to the old house with you? Xiao Jianhong is also generous enough, and directly opened the No. 1 courtyard, which is the best courtyard in the homestay. If it's the peak tourist season, how much will it cost you a few thousand for this night?
With the approval of Xiao Baoju's elders, Shao Lin's mood is naturally very good. After a brief rest in the guest room with Xiao Baoju, Shao Lin followed Xiao Baoju into the village. "Baoju, does this little courtyard feel so warm? Is this your yard? "Walking into Xiao Baoju's old house, although the yard is a little dilapidated, it can be seen that it is still relatively literary and artistic.
"Yes, before I went to the art center, I lived here, this is the studio, the bedroom..."Xiao Baoju took Shao Lin into the room and introduced it room by room.
"Although it's in the countryside, it's much better here than we live in the art center, or Baoju will wait for us to go back and ask the teacher to buy a car and come back to live." I love it here! Shao Lin stood in the courtyard and said with longing, as if in her eyes, the picture of the two living here had already emerged.
"Okay, I'm fine! It's just that Linlin doesn't have enough money to buy a car now, wait for me to talk to my second uncle, let him borrow me first! "As the so-called smart woman is difficult to cook without rice, Xiao Baoju is a hero who is difficult to beat a penny, and at this time, he does not have much money in his hand. It's not enough to buy a car!
"I have it here, and we're not buying any luxury cars, it's just a substitute." Shao Lin said indifferently.
Long-term painting, Xiao Baoju and Shao Lin are also physically and mentally exhausted, come back to rest for a day, and in the evening in the homestay, after dinner, the two of them wandered around the homestay, such a leisurely time, not only Xiao Baoju, even Shao Lin came to Zicheng, it was the first time to experience.
"Baoju, do I really like this place?" Shao Lin leisurely followed Xiao Baoju around the second uncle's homestay, looking at the wall painting made by Xiao Baoju, Shao Lin held Xiao Baoju's arm with a happy face and said. "Baoju, will you paint me a picture when you go back to the room later?"
"Draw what? Is the beauty out of the bath? Hehe~" Xiao Baoju said while holding Shao Lin's psoas muscles.
"Oh, I'm not ready to dedicate my life to art? Just draw a portrait! Shao Lin shyly slapped Xiao Baoju's arm.
Shao Lin sat down on the sofa in the room, draped in a bathrobe, and the Chinese figure painting was much simpler than the Western oil painting. Xiao Baoju first focuses on lines, although it is a few faint strokes, but it has already outlined the lines of Shao Lin's body. Shao Lin looked at Xiao Baoju, who was painting seriously, and couldn't help but open his mouth and ask: "Baoju, have you ever wanted to go to the south to develop?" ”
"To the South? I haven't thought about it yet, after all, I just started learning painting with my teacher, and now I'm going out and making a living! Xiao Baoju was dedicated to two things, chatting with Shao Lin back and forth, and did not delay his painting. In fact, Xiao Baoju and Shao Lin have also discussed this topic in their daily lives, and they both know that it is impossible to learn painting with their teacher Wang Linkai forever.
"Hee-hee... Actually, I can raise you. Shao Lin said to Xiao Baoju with a smile.
"Ahem... Or am I trying to support you? "The gentlemen of the land of Qilu, how can there be such a thing as eating soft rice? Xiao Baoju couldn't accept it.
Xiao Baoju came back this time for another purpose, that is, to ask Liu Siqi to go to the second uncle's folk customs and invite Liu Siqi to have a meal. In fact, Xiao Baoju has already benefited from this aspect of publicity, the last time Liu Siqi went to the art center, he only mentioned Xiao Baoju's information in Wang Linkai's report, that is to say, the information that Xiao Baoju is Wang Linkai's disciple is confirmed.
When Xiao Baoju apprenticed before, he kowtowed to Wang Linkai for tea, which is a necessary form of artistic inheritance. It is a process that is necessary for the heredity of a genre. Wang Linkai came over like this, Xiao Baoju learned like this, and Xiao Baoju's disciples and grandchildren will also pass it on in the future. When Xiao Baoju apprenticed, he couldn't always carry the certificate given by Wang Linkai anytime and anywhere, so he needed a window for media people like Liu Siqi to publicize to the outside world.
Publicity, for artists. It is not because of an article that can bring much benefit to the artist, but a process of accumulation over time, when others consult and use, to understand the artist's information through various channels.
"Brother Xiao, Sister Shao, long time no see!" Liu Siqi got out of the car and greeted the two with a smile.
"Hello, Siqi. Thanks for coming? Xiao Baoju shook hands with Liu Siqi enthusiastically.
"Brother Xiao said this, I saw the outside, the last time I went to your art center, I wanted to write a manuscript for you, who knew that Master Wang strongly requested, but·· Hee-hee·· Brother Xiao, in a few days, our newspaper will have a manuscript about young artists, and I will write one for you when the time comes! Liu Siqi and the two walked to the dining box while revealing information to Xiao Baoju.
"Siqi, thank you so much. How can I thank you for that? Xiao Baoju didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy, and thanked him again and again!
"Brother Xiao, why are you so polite? We are friends. Liu Siqi said nonchalantly. Xiao Baoju's talent is obvious to all, in fact, if Xiao Baoju becomes a well-known artist in the future, this is also a glory for Liu Siqi, the promoter. Modern people know that it is difficult for artists to get along after they become famous, but if the artist is not famous, he befriends him. Then the harvest in the future is limitless.
