The previous owner of the house was a wealthy businessman, and the stables were ready. With Zhang San tidying up a little, Hongyun could move in.
Of course, the task of taking care of Hongyun is left to Zhang San. He has experience in raising horses. Although Hongyun is as skinny as a stick now, he is a thousand-mile horse after all, and his foundation is not bad. He only needs to raise it for more than half a month to recover.
The majestic appearance of a thousand-mile horse.
Immediately afterwards, the carriage they requested was ready, and the Cui family finally became a car owner. However, considering Hongyun's physical condition, during this period, traveling was mainly based on renting carriages.
During this period, they visited Zhou's home.
Unlike Mrs. Wang who relied on her status, Mrs. Zhou and Chu Ningyan personally received them at the gate. This shows that the two families have an extraordinary relationship. Aunt Cui and Mrs. Zhou have a good relationship and often interact with each other on weekdays. After all, they are not like Lin Lin.
Like Xixian, I stay at home all day long.
After returning from Zhou's house, Cui Weizhen stayed in the study and didn't even come out during lunch time. Ye Zhenzhen thought that he was too absorbed in reading and had forgotten the time. But when he went in and took a look, it was not the case at all.
.
He is painting.
There are pictures of ladies painted on the rice paper. The hair, jewelry and skirts are all clearly colored and detailed. It looks like a fine brushwork painting, but the subtle use of lines and three-dimensionality can be seen. The faces of the ladies are no longer just fine brushwork paintings.
The eyebrows and eyes that are similar to each other were traced by him using oil painting techniques. The skin is as white as snow, the pupils are as black as paint, and the lips are as red as red. If you don't look carefully, you would think that there is a real person standing in the painting.
This kind of painting method is more realistic than gongbi painting, and has a bit more hazy and freehand beauty than Western oil paintings. Such a perfect fusion completely stunned Ye Zhenzhen.
What kind of genius is this!
She just taught sketching, and she directly combined Chinese and Western styles to create a new genre.
"How's it going? Does it look good?"
Cui Weizhen put down the last stroke, put down the wolf hair, raised his head and asked for his opinion.
Ye Zhenzhen still couldn't come to her senses and echoed blankly, "You're good-looking, Brother Zhen, you are really amazing."
"As long as you like it. This is the design I drew for you. When the jewelry and clothes are made, it will have this effect."
Cui Weizhen looked at the painting again and nodded with satisfaction, "If you don't have any objections, I will draw a specific pattern and give it to the shop to make."
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about jewelry and clothes?"
Ye Zhenzhen suddenly came back to her senses and asked, "Did the pattern you just designed for my jewelry and clothes look good?"
Cui Weizhen raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "What else?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
"I thought you were asking about paintings."
Her eyes couldn't hide her amazement, "When did you figure out this painting method? I've never seen you paint before."
A subtle smile appeared on Cui Weizhen's lips, with a reserved and restrained joy, and his voice was a little more lively than before, "I have been studying it for a while, but I just haven't had time to paint. Today I tried my hand at it, and the effect is not bad.
"
Is this still a small test?
This talent has forced ordinary people to have no way out!
Ye Zhenzhen was greatly shocked and walked away, holding on to the wall. As for the jewelry and clothes, she had no objection at all - do you still need to doubt Cui Weizhen's aesthetics?
What she has to do now is to work hard and work harder. If she doesn't continue to fill herself up, she will really be outclassed by Cui Weizhen.
Ye Zhenzhen has never learned oil painting before, but this does not prevent her from learning gongbi painting. Aunt Cui is also a master of chess, calligraphy and painting. There is no problem asking her for advice. When she has learned it, she can also use gongbi painting.
Oil painting effect.
In this regard, Cui Weizhen is already at the forefront.
He was extremely busy these days, spending all day painting in his study, but except for the picture of the lady he saw on the first day, there was not even a shadow in the other paintings.
After cleaning up the study, Ye Zhenzhen felt strange and asked Hong Zhiyuan, "Where are your master's paintings?"
Hong Zhiyuan was hesitating when Cui Weizhen came in. He had heard it outside the door and did not hide it. He said directly: "I asked Zhiyuan to sell it, and I got a lot of money, which is enough for my personal expenses in the future.
You don’t have to give me pocket money.”
No wonder Cui Weizhen said he didn't need to give him any more money when he went shopping last time. It turned out that he had already planned to sell his paintings.
Selling paintings for a living sounds a bit despicable, but many scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam did this, and it was not a bad reputation that was unspeakable. In fact, there was nothing worthy of blame for making money by relying on one's own skills.
Ye Zhenzhen was worried that painting would take too much time.
She had to stop him from doing this, "You will go to the Imperial College to study in a few days. From now on, you should still focus on your homework and don't waste time selling paintings. With the profits from Rouge Workshop next month, our lives will also be better.
I can feel comfortable now."
The starting point was good, but she didn't know that Cui Weizhen's recent reputation in the capital had a lot to do with his lack of professionalism.
At the beginning, she relied on a song "Hu Xuan Nu" written at Hu Ji Restaurant, and was widely sung because of her outstanding poetry. When her unique style of fine brushwork came out, her fame reached its peak. Many people know it.
, Among the scholars who went to Beijing this time, there was a man who was outstanding in poetry and painting.
Even many high-ranking and world-famous scholars are asking about Cui Weizhen, which shows that he is very popular these days.
But, as the saying goes, the first bird is shot.
It is advisable to show talent appropriately, but it is not necessary to show off your sharpness. Cui Weizhen has not forgotten that he still has enemies in the capital.
There are countless great talents from all over the world, and there is never a shortage of amazing talents. After his silence, there will definitely be no shortage of new people to come forward and trigger a new wave of trends.
The geese left their mark, and his reputation has spread. Although he is no longer popular, he still left an impression on people, which has given him an insurance for the coming spring.
So I followed Ye Zhenzhen's suggestion very obediently, "Okay, I'll listen to you, then I won't paint."
Although she had plans early in the morning, she was full of good words and praised Ye Zhenzhen so highly that her vanity was greatly satisfied.
Brother Zhen is listening to her more and more.
She said happily, "You can just study in peace and leave the family affairs to me. I guarantee there will be no problem."
His tone was proud and confident. If there was a tail behind him, it would definitely be cocked at this moment.
Cui Wei couldn't help but smile in his eyes, and rubbed the tip of her nose affectionately, "I know, with you here, I never have to worry about this."
It was fine before when she had plenty of money, so Cui Weizhen didn't have to worry about it, but now that she has spent all her money to settle down in the capital, he couldn't bear to have her work hard, so he found a way to earn money.
After all, he is the head of the family.
Fortunately, everything is now on track. In the coming days, he can finally study in the Imperial College with peace of mind.
