Afraid that Dong Nuan would ask another question, Shen Yancheng hurriedly interrupted, "Don't you want to learn painting?" I'll start with some basics. ”

As soon as I heard about learning to paint, Dong Nuan came to his senses and forgot what had just happened. Shen Yancheng looked for the book he had started with, and began to say, "Do you know the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone? ”

"Yes, Master said."

Shen Yancheng flipped a few pages back and continued to ask, "Then do you know about paint and color?" Dong Nuan shook her head, "I don't know." ”

He began to explain this to Dong Nuan, Shen Yancheng glanced at Dong Nuan, saw that she was listening seriously, and asked, "Can you remember?" ”

Dong Nuan nodded: "I can remember." ”

"Then you repeat it to me."

"Good! The pigments include cyan, garcinia cambogia, ochre, rouge, magenta, clamour, cinnabar, limestone, stone green, and powder.

The colors are grass green, old green, grass green, old green, tender green, bud green, dark green, pale green, new green, oil green, strong green, autumn fragrance color, golden red, flesh red, silver red, yin red, pink, orange red, earth red, old red, golden yellow, pale yellow, earth yellow, sandalwood color, goose yellow, ink ochre, ochre yellow, lotus root, green lotus, dark purple, sauce color, purple sauce, green gray, iron gray, ink green, tea brown, light gray. Shen Yancheng went from not believing it at the beginning to being surprised later, and his heart was extremely excited at this time.

"Then I'll tell you how to draw peach blossoms." Shen Yancheng flipped to the back and looked at the annotations he had written.

Open your painting from the side," Dong Nuan said as he looked at it. Dong Nuan obediently sat on the stool and looked at the painting.

Shen Yancheng said it over and over again while pointing out in the painting, every word, every action, made Dong Nuan very serious and excited, and wanted to give it a try now.

"Can you remember them all?" Dong Nuan recalled it, and he did remember it almost, but he didn't understand what it meant.

"Remember, I just don't understand some of them."

"It's okay, I'll teach you later." At this time, Shen Yancheng forgot that he was going to study at Shenghua Academy.

"Wait a minute, I haven't asked about Shenghua Academy yet!" After all, Shen Yancheng still couldn't stop Dong Nuan from continuing to ask.

"What more do you want to ask?"

"Are there any women studying at the academy?"

"Yes, but not much, separated from the man, so I don't know." Dong Nuan was inexplicably a little happy, but she was also a little sad afterward. "Who are those women, why can they study in Shenghua Academy!"

Shenghua Academy actually does not have a tradition of recruiting women, but since His Majesty took the throne, he has been improving the status of women, and even some women have entered the court as officials, so a women's school has been set up in Shenghua Academy.

Because of the fact that many years of thinking do not change if they want to, many families are reluctant to let their daughters go to Shenghua Academy to study, so they are only a few ministers' daughters, and they are not very serious on weekdays.

"Basically, they are the daughters of some ministers, but there are not many, so there are relatively few masters, and many people don't know that there are women studying in Shenghua Academy."

Dong Nuan wants to go to Shenghua Academy to study, if she goes, then she can meet her brother often, so she must ask clearly.

"Then what if I want to go to Shenghua Academy! Is there any way to do it? This sentence shocked Shen Yancheng, and he didn't know what else to do, so he thought of a few ways, but he didn't feel good.

"I'm afraid, it's a little difficult, the academy has very high requirements for men, and it's the same for women, in fact, I think even if I go to Shenghua Academy, I can't learn anything as a woman, and there are too few female masters in the academy."

"Well, then I can't go!"

Shen Yancheng felt that Dong Nuan wanted to go to Shenghua Academy to study because he was reluctant to him, but in fact, Dong Nuan just wanted to be with his brother, and Shen Yancheng was just self-inflicted.

"It doesn't matter if you can't go! When you are free in the future, I can take you to play, the scenery over there in Shenghua Academy is good. ”

I wasn't really interested in the scenery and winter warmth, but I knew that Shen Yancheng was trying to comfort myself, so I pretended to be happy and said, "Okay! Talk counts. ”

couldn't help touching Dong Nuan's face, and felt that the little girl was really cute, "A gentleman's word, the horse is hard to chase, I remember what I said to you." ”

The two of them were discussing fiercely here, and they didn't know that there was a big man in the Guogong Mansion.

Liu Chang is a popular calligrapher today, and he is best at calligraphy and cursive.

The calligraphy and paintings about Liu Chang outside have been sold for 1,000 taels of gold, which shows how famous he is.

On a par with it, the first assistant of the cabinet of the dynasty, Wen Jinyan, is known for his official script and regular script, which is quite popular among the children of literati, and the calligraphy is even more sought after. However, the calligraphy in the market is all copied, and there are very few authentic works, but it still can't stop Wen Jinyan's calligraphy from selling hotly.

The two have their own strengths and should get along harmoniously, but it is rumored outside that even if they lecture at Shenghua Academy together, they are also the opposite, and they turn around and leave when they meet.

It is rumored that the two have quarreled because of disagreements, but no one has seen it, this kind of news is widely circulated among students, even if it is so, no one dares to explore the relationship, only feel that the two must be famous in history, so they are treated very politely.

Today, Liu Chang suddenly boarded the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and the subordinates hurriedly notified Mrs. Tai to come to greet him.

Originally, Mrs. Tai arrived in the hall with a half-believing attitude, and when she saw Liu Chang, she was sure that it was true, and she was really a little uneasy in her heart.

I don't know where Liu Chang came from, Mrs. Tai began to probe, "I don't know what happened when Your Excellency came here today?" ”

Liu Chang touched his beard and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Today I am here to collect apprentices." ”

"I don't know why, and who are you going to take as an apprentice?"

"I had a dream yesterday, so I came to your mansion today, and I hope Mrs. Tai can make the old man's wish come true." Mrs. Tai smiled and said politely: "Where can I be Your Excellency's apprentice, but Sansheng is lucky, of course I will do what you wish." ”

"Then I'll be blunt."

"Your Excellency, please speak."

Liu Chang touched his beard again, and said slowly: "There is a person in your house, surnamed Gu, whose name is Dong Nuan." Mrs. Tai didn't know how Liu Chang knew, but she still answered truthfully: "There is one, but it is an eight-year-old girl." ”

As soon as he heard Mrs. Tai say yes, Liu Chang breathed a sigh of relief, a little distracted, I don't know if the little girl is what he imagined, whether she is a little similar to that person.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that Mrs. Tai had been looking at herself, so she opened her mouth to explain.

"That's right, it's her. Yesterday in a dream, guided by the immortals, let me accept this woman as an apprentice, at first the old man was reluctant to accept a female apprentice, but then I thought about it, since it is the guidance of the immortals, I must have a lot of connections with this woman, so I came to the Guogong Mansion. ”

Mrs. Tai's heart turned over at this time, I don't know what else to say, she has already planned the future of Dong Nuan, and now Liu Chang said that she wants to accept Dong Nuan as an apprentice, which is really a bit surprising.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to delay it for a while to see if there was room for turnaround, she really didn't want Dong Nuan to leave the Protector Mansion.

"I was sick a few days ago, and now I can't see anyone."

Liu Chang was extremely nervous, "I'm sick, how did I get sick." ”

"It's nothing, it's almost all right, Your Excellency might as well ... Come back another day. At this time, I saw that Mrs. Tai had ulterior motives and prevaricated herself, so she was a little annoyed.

"Don't get in the way, set the name of master and apprentice today, and hold the apprenticeship ceremony another day!"

"Probably not, Dong Nuan has always been weak, and now he is raising it!"

"Can't you even see each other? You don't want me to see her, do you? Hearing Liu Chang's categorical words, Mrs. Tai knew that he was a little angry.

But I still want to try to dispel Liu Chang's thoughts again, "Dong Nuan is just a maid after all, and if you spread it, you accepted a maid as an apprentice, and your Excellency can't save face." ”

Liu Chang glanced at Mrs. Tai with slanted eyes, and then said: "How do I remember, Dong Nuan didn't sell her body, and your Guogong Mansion didn't have her deed of sale." So she is not a maid, after I accept her as an apprentice, I hope that all the things in Dong Nuan's Guogong Mansion will not be spread, and the province will ruin my reputation, I believe that this little thing, Mrs. Tai can still do it well! ”

These words completely dispelled Mrs. Tai's selfishness, and she smiled stiffly and said: "As soon as Your Excellency said this, I remembered that Dong Nuan did not sell his body, and he was not a lowly person, so naturally he would not drag down Your Excellency's reputation." Hearing that Mrs. Tai had compromised, her tone softened, and Liu Chang knew that what he had planned had come to fruition.

"Alright, then take me to see the little girl."

Liu Chang is a person who says that wind is rain, and he didn't plan to see winter warmth today, but Mrs. Tai tossed it like this, and it became today's scene.

The group entered Qing'an Hall, and the two people in the room had just eaten, and Dong Nuan was about to take medicine, and Shen Yancheng stood outside.

From a distance, I saw Liu Chang and his grandmother coming over, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

He saluted and said respectfully, "Master, grandmother is well." Liu Chang looked at the young man in front of him, thought about it carefully, and recognized it.

So he asked, "You are Shen Yancheng." ”

"The student is exactly." He actually has a very good impression of Shen Yancheng, when he lectures, he listens most seriously, his homework is also good, he writes well, although he is still young, he is also a rare talent.

"Mrs. Tai, this grandson is good."

"Where, it's still very immature." Hearing Mrs. Tai's humble words, Liu Chang was a little displeased.

He has always hated people who say one thing and do another, and he saw it just now, but now he hates it even more.

"Where's the winter warmth?" Shen Yancheng, who didn't know what the situation was, replied truthfully: "In the student's room." ”

"What, in your room, how can she, a woman, live in your room."

Mrs. Tai doesn't want to say it now, but she has to say it.

"I won't hide it from Your Excellency. A few days ago, Dong Nuan was killed, thanks to my grandson who saw it and saved Dong Nuan, who was close to here at the time, so he hugged him directly. It was also because I thought that Dong Nuan was still young and sick, so I didn't mention letting Dong Nuan change rooms. ”

Liu Chang knew that Mrs. Tai couldn't believe everything she said, but he still didn't agree with this situation now.

"No matter what, I can't let Dong Nuan live in the man's room, men and women are seven years old, Dong Nuan is going to be my apprentice, and there can't be a trace of damage to my reputation."

Mrs. Tai hurriedly said, "That's natural. ”
