Chapter 1191: No money was spent, it was given for nothing
That’s right! The wood used in the recipe recorded in the fragment of the ancient book is the ten thousand year old ginseng fruit tree.
After the 10,000-year-old ginseng berries fell off the ginseng tree, the entire tree gradually withered.
Tangbao tried his best to save the ginseng tree.
Later, after asking Doctor Hua, I found out that this was the fate of the ginseng tree.
All the vitality of the entire big tree was absorbed by the Wannian Ginseng Fruit, and the vitality was naturally cut off.
Fortunately, another small sapling grew next to the ginseng tree.
As for when this sapling will bear fruit, no one knows.
Naturally, the sugar baby will never say anything about this.
Tangbao is still very clear about the principle that a man is not guilty but possessing a jade is a crime.
Master Zhiren listened to Tangbao's words and said with a smile: "The little benefactor is too modest. Everything is cause and effect. The little benefactor was able to get the fragments of ancient books and make this kind of drawing paper. This is a meritorious deed."
The focus of Yu Zhilan's attention is the fragments of ancient books.
"Girl, where did you find the fragments of the ancient book? Where are the fragments?" Yu Zhilan asked directly.
After asking, he subconsciously added -
"Didn't it cost a lot of money?"
As soon as Yu Zhilan finished speaking, the Queen Mother showed a look of surprise on her face.
She did not expect that such well-educated calligraphers and painters would actually care about money.
How did the Empress Dowager know that Yu Zhilan had not saved much money in her hands even when she lived to such an old age, but she spent all of it searching for ancient books, calligraphy and paintings.
For this reason, money is always in a tight situation.
Although his own calligraphy and paintings are also very valuable, but——
Is he still alive?
The calligraphy and painting of living people are always not as valuable as the unique and unique works of the predecessors.
Often an ancient book can wipe out his family fortune.
Yu Zhilan was well aware of the value of those isolated ancient books, so she blurted out such a sentence, which was filled with a strong "copper smell".
After hearing what Yu Zhilan said, Tangbao couldn't bear to hurt his master.
However, thinking of his master, he wanted to sell himself as his apprentice because of a painting.
Sugar Baby decided to pay tribute to his master properly and express his "filial piety" as a disciple.
So, Tangbao said with an innocent face: "Actually, I didn't spend any money, I was given it for free."
Yu Zhilan: “…???”
Free?
Yu Zhilan was really hit hard when she thought about all the money she had spent like a waste, and the original books that she couldn't afford because she couldn't get enough money.
Why can't he get such a good thing?
"Who is so generous?" Yu Zhilan looked at her young apprentice and asked in a sour tone.
After saying that, he glanced at Xuanyuan Jin.
It must be this silly boy!
Yu Zhilan felt that no one except Xuanyuan Jin would do such a thing.
No matter what good thing this boy gives the little girl, he never blinks an eye.
Not to mention the fragments of ancient books, even if they are afraid of life, they are not stingy.
Tangbao also glanced at Xuanyuan Jin and said, "Well, one year, I took my brother's carriage to the county town, and my brother went to the book store to buy pen and ink. I found a few damaged old books in the corner of the book store.
It’s already gathering dust…”
Then the boss treated her as a gift and gave her those old books that no one bought.
Yu Zhilan: "..."
Sure enough, there is no comparison between people!
Yu Zhilan felt even more sad.
I secretly decided that when I enter the bookstore in the future, I will definitely go to the corners and search for it.
Xuanyuan Jin also didn't expect that there would be such good things in the pile of shabby books that Tangbao flipped through.
"It turns out that at that time, you were holding a torn book and pondering it, and you were really reading the words on it?" Xuanyuan Jin said with a hint.
Sugar baby: "..."
Suddenly I felt guilty.
You know, at that time, she seemed to be more than four years old and not yet enlightened.
"That, hehe..."
Tangbao smiled dryly at Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin touched Tangbao's head and signaled her to stop talking.
Tangbao immediately understood what Xuanyuan Jin meant.
Also, I don't have to hide anything in front of my little brother.
As for Master and the others, they didn’t know how old they were at that time.
"Actually, I still benefited from my brother. If it hadn't been for my brother to buy pens and ink, I don't know who would have obtained the ancient books." Tangbao quickly gave the credit to his little brother.
Before Xuanyuan Jin could speak, Master Zhiren shook his head and said with a smile: "No, everything has its fate. It was the little benefactor who made such great fortune possible. What we achieved in the end is what we are today."
fruit."
"That's right." The Queen Mother sighed with emotion, standing aside and nodded.
Of course, the credit belongs to the sugar baby.
Yu Zhilan looked at Tangbao, okay, he admitted that his luck was definitely not comparable to that of his little apprentice.
It's just that if the apprentice is lucky, he, as the master, can always get some glory.
So, Yu Zhilan coughed twice and ordered: "There is an antique calligraphy and painting street in the capital. You can accompany the master to wander around some other time."
Sugar baby: "..."
Master wants to pick up the leaks.
"Master, you must never be opportunistic!" Tangbao said righteously.
Yu Zhilan was not embarrassed at all by her apprentice exposing her little thoughts.
"Master is taking you to gain experience and test your eyesight, so as not to disgrace Master in the future. Okay, it's settled!"
After saying that, he took another look at the picture of Ten Thousand Buddhas on the table.
"Hurry and get the drawing paper! Then you and Master will paint together, so as not to delay too much time and arouse suspicion."
There are too many Buddha statues in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture, and he may not be able to finish them all by himself.
The nights are long and there are many dreams, so naturally it is necessary to complete it as soon as possible.
Tangbao looked surprised after hearing what Yu Zhilan said.
"...Master, is this okay?"
How can her painting skills compare with her master?
Let alone painting on the same drawing paper.
If someone finds out that it was not painted by one person, then the whole thing will be revealed.
Yu Zhilan glared at Tangbao and said confidently: "Why not? You are my apprentice, and your writing skills are all taught by me. They are inherited from the same strain. Is it possible that you don't even have this little confidence? If you are really so worthless, in the future you will
Don’t say you’re my apprentice when you go out, I’d be embarrassed!”
Sugar baby: "..."
Well, Master is confident and he has nothing to worry about.
"Disciple, all listen to the master's instructions." Tangbao said respectfully, as if he respected his master: "Master will go home to get drawing paper and bring pen and ink with him."
Yu Zhilan nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, he asked as if nothing had happened: "Is that fragment in the capital or in Daliushu Village?"
Since it is recorded in the above, the method of making drawing paper in ancient times cannot be said to be an ancient book handed down from ancient times.
When Yu Zhilan thought of this, her heart became hot.
Tangbao said with a regretful look on his face: "If I tell Master, I will be in Daliushu Village."
Yu Zhilan: "..."
Full of disappointment.
It seems that he has to find an opportunity to return to Daliu Shu Village again.
