After Gao Xiu left, Fan Jin told Gao Xiuyuan about the style of clothes he wanted to make, and estimated Hu Xiaoyun's height and weight.

"Fan Gongzi, if it's convenient, you might as well let Fan Niangzi follow you once, I'll measure it and set the size, what do you think?"

Gao Xiuyuan said with a chuckle.

"I wanted to surprise her. In this way, wait for me to draw it with pen and ink, I wonder if Miss Gao can compare the size? ”

After Fan Jin finished speaking, Gao Xiuyuan thought for a while and said, "It depends on Fan Gongzi's Danqing penmanship, you can give it a try." ”

"That's fine. Miss Gao, although she let it go, I believe in the craftsmanship of the embroidery workshop. ”

After Fan Jin and Gao Xiuyuan chatted again, Gao Xiu prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone and came to the front room.

"Master Fan, I've got something for you."

"Yuan'er, take two candles and light them, it's not dawn yet, and Fan Xuexue is afraid that he won't be able to see clearly."

"Got it, Dad."

Gao Xiuyuan got up in response and was about to get the candle, but was persuaded by Fan Jin.

"No, I can see clearly, so I don't have to waste candles."

Fan Jin is a saint child, and under the blessing of bright eyes and night vision, even if there is no star and moon in the middle of the night, he can see clearly.

The reason why the first degree of the child's literary degree is bright eyes and night vision is to save students the trouble of reading at night.

Kerosene lamps and candles are not considered luxuries, but they also cost a lot of silver.

But Bright Eyes Night Vision solves this difficulty very well, as long as you can be admitted to the child's examination, you can work during the day in the future, and you don't have to read at night, you can save your savings to take the college exam.

Gao Xiu's father and daughter were surprised, but Fan Jin had already begun to study the ink, when Fan Jin picked up the brush, flattened the rice paper, and pressed it with a paperweight, he began to write the inscription.

In the process of inscription, the father and daughter of the Gao family looked at the regular script font written by Fan Jin, and always felt that their eyes lit up, but they were suddenly surprised.

When Fan Jin put pen to pen and wrote the book of Fan Jin in the spring of the new holy calendar, a faint talent appeared on this rice paper, and it was absorbed into the sea of knowledge by the five-clawed golden dragon in Fan Jin's life palace to nourish the whole body.

A casual little poem, although it is an original poem, it is also the original, blessed in regular script, but it is also difficult to get into the elegant hall, can have a trace of talent, Fan Jin is also very satisfied.

After Fan Jin had undergone two talent qi initiations, the talent qi in his body was now approaching the talent qi like a needle.

"Good words, dare to ask Fan Xuexue, how come I have never seen this font?"

Gao Xiu is not a cultural person, looking at the small poem written by Fan Jin, he asked a little puzzled.

However, Gao Xiuyuan, who is thoughtful and has been a female celebrity all the year round, can see that Fan Jin's penmanship is the regular calligraphy in yesterday's vision of heaven and earth.

Gao Xiuyuan was shocked, but she didn't say it.

Fan Jin smiled and said: "I once met a master of the You Fang, and the side door is not enough. ”

"Haha, I don't know what you readers are, but I think what Fan Gongzi wrote is a good one! I'll put this poem in place so that I can frame it. ”

Gao Xiu came and went quickly, and then Fan Jin began to prepare for painting.

This is also Fan Jin's first time painting in this world, when he was taking the civil service exam before, he was bored to learn the sketch of three-legged cat kung fu, but this full-body character brush painting, sketching himself may not be able to grasp it.

The five-clawed golden dragon in the palace seemed to sense Fan Jin's difficulty, and took a sharp breath, and the talent in Fan Jin's body was suddenly swept away.

The bite of the five-clawed golden dragon almost hollowed out Fan Jin.

Then the five-clawed golden dragon slowly spit out a copy of "Huaxia Painting Techniques", which appeared in Fan Jin's sea of knowledge, turned into a faint golden light, and was absorbed by Fan Jin's sea of knowledge.

For a while, Fan Jin's mind came up with three major categories of the most traditional Chinese painting techniques—landscape, figure, and flower and bird painting.

From the painting of trees, rocks, clouds and rain in landscape painting, to the observation and sketching of flower and bird painting, to the rendering of boneless and other painting methods, and finally the technique of figure painting.

There is the white drawing method improved by the painting saint Wu Daozi, and the beauty of the lines depicted; There are also paintings of the beauty of lines by the Northern Song Dynasty painter Li Gonglin who have been promoted to the extreme - "Vimo Acting and Teaching Map"; Finally, during the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty, Zou Dezhong's "Eighteen Strokes" in his book "Painting Fameng".

Eighteen strokes elevate the beauty of lines to the extreme, namely: string drawing, olive drawing, bamboo leaf drawing, folding reed drawing, jujube core drawing, flowing water drawing, iron line drawing, water pattern drawing, earthworm drawing, grasshopper drawing, willow leaf drawing, dry wood drawing, peg head nail drawing, subtractive stroke, mixed drawing, ancient gossamer drawing, nail head rat tail drawing, Cao Yi drawing, the beauty of the Chinese character painting lines are summarized clearly.

Fan evolved into Gu Kaizhi, Wu Daozi, Wang Wei, Jing Hao, Li Tang, Zhao Mengfu, Ni Zhan, Dong Qichang, Zhu Qi, Shi Tao and other painters.

In a breath and a breath, Fan Jin's sea of knowledge carries 5,000 years of painting skills from top to bottom of China, and there are also some modern skills absorbed.

Gao Xiuyuan watched Fan Jin lift the pen motionless in place, a drop of ink condensed on the tip of the pen, about to drip, Gao Xiuyuan didn't know if she wanted to remind herself.

"Drip-"

The ink condenses on the tip of the pen, and the moment the weight reaches the drip, it slides out of the air in the trail of ink.

And Fan Jin also began to write in the ticking sound.

The moment the ink fell on the rice paper, Fan Jin's pen also fell on the drop of ink, and the pen in his hand walked the dragon and snake, and a smudge pen sketched Hu Xiaoyun's entire body.

Followed by the depiction of details, Gao Xiuyuan looked at Fan Jin's brushwork and couldn't help but be stunned.

The first stroke of smudging was outlined, Gao Xiuyuan thought it was going to be over, but she didn't expect that under Fan Jin's divine stroke, it was so vividly drawn the curves of women's figures.

One stroke, two strokes, about a cup of tea, Gao Xiuyuan was already stunned, when Fan Jin drew Hu Xiaoyun's eyes, a painting seemed to come to life.

Fan Jin put the brush aside, then slowly exhaled, looked at Gao Xiuyuan and said, "Miss Gao, look? ”

"Fan Gongzi rest assured, this matter is wrapped up in the little woman, and Fan Gongzi will not be disappointed."

Gao Xiuyuan is full of confidence, with this perfect ink figure painting, whether it is the shape of the character or the external clothing and expression of the character, so detailed, if she Gao Xiuyuan can't make the right clothes, it will really smash her own signboard.

Fan Jin smiled and said, "Then please Miss Gao, this painting will stay here, and when the time comes, I will come to pick up the clothes, and Miss Gao will give it to me." ”

"I don't know how much silver this deposit costs?"

Because Fan Jin asked to make it of silk, these three-piece clothes were naturally not too cheap, and Fan Jin brought all the silver he had, but Gao Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Fan Gongzi, the deposit is waived." ”

"This customized clothing will take about seven days, and you will come back in seven days, and the price will be talked about then, not in a hurry."

"What's so embarrassing about that."

Fan Jin didn't want to owe favors and wanted to pay money, but Gao Xiu just came out, grabbed Fan Jin's hand and said: "Fan Gongzi, you are too outward, I said the deposit today, you don't have to give it." ”

"As for getting the finished clothes when the time comes, you can just pay for some more cloth."

"Then thank you Boss Gao."

Fan Jin did not continue to excuse himself, and after thanking him, Fan Jin left from the Lingxiu Workshop.

"After the clothes are bought, the next step is to buy some rouge gouache for Sister Yun."

At this time, before the dawn, these merchants who set up retail stalls had not yet come, Fan Jin walked around Guangling County, and finally found a small shop specializing in selling rouge gouache, in a corner of the city, but Fan Jin was not easy to find.

The shopkeeper was an old man with white hair and beard, and after seeing Fan Jin's neatly dressed clothes and bookish temperament, he welcomed Fan Jin into the door with a smile and handed it over: "This son, but which lady do you want to buy some rouge gouache for?" ”

"Uncle, you are really discerning, dare to ask the uncle if he has any recommendations? The kind of rouge gouache that is a little more elegant and can cover the wind and frost. ”

It's not wrong to be old and fine, Fan Jin couldn't help but sigh when he looked at this old man wearing a light blue robe, his face was full of wrinkles, and there was a mole in the center of his eyebrows.

"Of course there is, Childe, you sit down first, I'll go get you a sample, you try it."

"Then thank you, uncle."

Fan Jin sat on a chair in the small living room, watched the shopkeeper rummage through the cabinets in the living room, and after a while, he took 6 bottles and jars over and said, "Childe, please look, these three are magenta, red, light red, and these three are pink, hosta powder, and purple pink." ”

"It's all rouge that is suitable for dressing up in early spring, and Childe can take a little out and try the color on his hand."

Fan Jin tried them one by one, and then said to the shopkeeper: "Uncle, just this hosta powder and light red, what is the price of two bottles?" ”

"And the lip grease with red and gouache?"

"Yes, if Childe wants it, just give 400 yuan for four bottles, and then give Childe some makeup brushes and eyebrow pencils?"

The price of 400 wen is not cheap, but Fan Jin is really satisfied with this batch of rouge gouache, which is made of all kinds of flowers, and the color is also the effect that Fan Jin wants.

Of course, the main thing is that Fan Jin is rich now, if it was put in the past, these 400 Wen Fan Jin is not willing to give up, or there is no money at all.

"In that case, bother the old man to help me wrap it, this is five dollars of silver, you can take it."

The shopkeeper saw that Fan Jin did not make a counteroffer, and his subordinates smiled and said, "Childe really knows the goods, my rouge——"

said a lot of self-selling and boasting words, Fan Jin didn't interrupt, smiled happily, and when the other party said enough, after finding Fan Jin a hundred yuan, he took four bottles of rouge for Fan Jin.

The four bottles of rouge were packed in small ceramic jars and placed in a small mahogany box, and the shopkeeper looked at Fan Jin and said with a smile: "This box will be given to Gongzi together, I wish Gongzi a beautiful return." ”

"Then thank you, uncle."

After Fan Jin had a polite conversation with the shopkeeper, he went out with the box, then bought some food on the street and went back to the inn.

"Sister Yun, I'm in."

Fan Jin knocked on the door to see if Hu Xiaoyun was awake.

Hu Xiaoyun didn't speak, and after Fan Jin opened them and went in, he found that Hu Xiaoyun was still asleep in bed, obviously he was very tired and slept very heavily after a night's travel.

Fan came in to the side of the bed, looked at Hu Xiaoyun who was sleeping on the bed and clothes, and slowly stretched out his right hand to help him straighten the strands of hair on his nose.

"Fan Jin."

Hu Xiaoyun suddenly shouted Fan Jin, which scared Fan Jin, and thought that he had woken up Hu Xiaoyun.

turned out to be Hu Xiaoyun's sleeping whispering.

Fan Jin smiled, such a quiet and warm scene was really inextricable.

There is no need for any vigorous sword to go to the end of the world hand in hand, and there is no need to add officials to the title of marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, just so that he can sit quietly beside Hu Xiaoyun and look at each other, Fan Jin feels very satisfied.

It is a good thing to be easily satisfied with the warm daily life, which does not mean that Fan Jinhui has given up the promotion of officials and marquis, but more persistently and hard work for the imperial examination.

Only a strong force can protect the warm daily life, otherwise everything is rootless and drifting with the flow; Water without roots also moves with the wind.

Truth is only within the range of a cannon, and dignity is only above the edge of the sword!

Strength is the foundation of everything.
