It took Fu Yueming two days to finally sell the Sanchuan Longqiu picture for 10,000 taels!
Jiang Yan didn't expect that there was someone really taking advantage of him in the Qing capital. Ten thousand taels could buy top quality paintings.
"How come someone really spends so much money to buy a medium-quality painting?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.
"A painting can not only summon painting spirits for use in battles, but it can also be hung in the room as decoration. Another way is to collect it.
For example, when I saw this painting, I felt that the brushwork was delicate and the coloring was clever, and the key is that the painter is so young, it is not impossible that he will become a great painter of Xuanguo in the future.
When you become famous in the future, the price of this painting will also rise, and many people will be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it to study your brushwork.
Not to mention, a high-quality painting of Chiri Rivers and Mountains by Zhao Suixian of Piyong City sold for 50,000 yuan, breaking the record for the highest price for a high-quality painting."
After hearing this, Jiang Yan understood. Seeing Fu Yueming bring the banknote, Jiang Yan pushed it back.
"It's useless for me to ask for money. Since we will be dealing with each other for a long time in the future, you should repair your shabby building first and buy me some paint and drawing paper with the remaining money."
"Then it's better for me to be respectful than to obey." Fu Yueming did not hesitate to pretend to be polite.
"You said you can paint a screen wall? When I was selling paintings, there happened to be a family who wanted to build a screen wall in the courtyard, but there were too few shadow muralists."
"How much does it cost?" Jiang Yan asked.
"Offer 20,000 taels"
"Are there so many rich people in Qingdu? What are the requirements?"
No wonder someone has always told him that among all the enlightened professions, painters are the most in need of money. Jiang Yan was a little tempted when he heard the price.
“At least it’s a good product, and the content of the painting must not only be beautiful and unique, but also reflect the integrity of the current owner!”
“Excellent product…”
"If it doesn't work, I'll reject it."
Jiapin Screen Wall is indeed a bit difficult for a young man who is just twenty years old.
"let me try"
He made a mid-level screen wall in Huichun Town. Now that his strength has improved a bit, he may be able to challenge his limits and try it!
"Okay, then you pack up and we'll go later."
Fu Yueming was a person who talked and acted. After the negotiation was completed, he asked Jiang Yan to take the bookcase and go to the master's house.
Fat Tiger was too aggressive and should not appear in the densely populated streets of Qingdu. Jiang Chang rode on his old donkey and followed Fu Yueming out of the city.
"Aren't you going to clear the capital any more?"
"Most of the wealthy and distinguished people in the Qing capital live outside the city, so it is very convenient to hold banquets or poetry gatherings."
The landscape of Qingdu is the best in the world. No matter from any angle, it is a beautiful landscape with mountain scenery. Across the distance, I first saw the plaque hanging on the Wutou Gate, Zize Garden.
After announcing their intention, a servant approached them into Zize Garden, and Jiang Yan finally saw what a real mansion was.
Zize Garden built platforms and dug ponds according to the terrain, built gardens and pavilions according to the mountain shape and water conditions, dug lakes and opened ponds. It was surrounded by dozens of miles of inner buildings and pavilions, with Jingshui River lingering and flowing through it, and birds singing in secluded villages with fish jumping around.
lotus pond.
Pearls, agates, amber, rhinoceros horns and other valuables decorate the houses in the garden with splendor and grandeur, just like a palace.
"Good style," Jiang Yan praised.
"This is the residence of Taishi Ling Shi Jilun"
"I've only heard of Taishou, what does this Taishi Ling do?"
"Every state in the Xuan Kingdom has a Taishi Ling, who is responsible for detecting the situation and controlling the weather, and governs the state on an equal footing with the prefect!"
Jiang Yan understood clearly, no wonder he could build such a magnificent garden.
"We are a little late now. Whenever the wind is warm and the sun is warm in March, the peach blossoms here are scorching, the willow silk curls, the pavilions and trees are shaded, butterflies flutter among the flowers, and hundreds of birds chirp on the branches.
People in Qingdu included Zize Chunqing Hunting among the eight scenic spots in Qingdu." What Fu Yueming said was very intoxicating.
"You seem to be familiar with this place"
"I've been here several times before, but every time I come I feel different," Fu Yueming said with emotion.
"Shopkeeper Fu, my master is hosting a banquet for several celebrities and cannot get away. He ordered me to take you two to the screen wall."
Jiang Yan felt the fluctuation of spiritual power from this guard, and even a small guard in Zi Zeyuan had become enlightened.
"The ugly talk is ahead. Our Taishi Ling is going to receive distinguished guests in Zize Garden and they will come to enjoy the screen wall. You only have seven days at most. If the screen wall is not painted well, Tai Shi Ling will blame you. You two don't blame me then."
"Seven days..."
Jiang Yan was a little uneasy. He had been working on the Zhongpinying mural in Huichun Town for three full days. The seven days were a bit tight, but for the sake of money, Jiang Yan still nodded!
"Okay, please lead the way."
The Zize Garden has a radius of more than ten miles and covers all the mountains and waters. It is very easy to get lost here without someone to guide you. The two followed the guard and walked in the corridor of the Zize Garden for a long time and finally arrived at the place where the screen wall is.
There is a small island in the lake in the garden, with a screen wall nearly two feet tall erected on it.
Other people's screen walls are either used for defense, or to bring good fortune and ward off evil spirits, but the screen wall in Zize Garden is just for landscaping!
There was a small boat by the lake, and Jiang Yan boarded the boat alone and rowed to the isolated island. Fu Yueming and the guards of Zi Zeyuan left after putting down the paint.
The location of the screen wall is very particular. It must be rich in spiritual energy to nourish the painting spirit. After setting foot on this small island, Jiang Gu felt a strong spiritual energy coming up from the pool.
The material of this screen wall is also very good. A whole piece of square stone is carved into the Xumizuo, and the wall is made of a whole piece of sapphire. Although it cannot be compared with the one in the Pan Valley, it is still valuable.
Jiang Yan also saw the generosity of Zi Zeyuan. All the pigments provided were medium-grade pigments. The fine and smooth powder was crushed with his hands, leaving a conspicuous and pure color on his fingers.
After smelling it, there is still a faint floral fragrance.
“Great paint!”
In the Xuan Kingdom, pigments are like treasures from heaven and earth. They absorb enough spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Good pigments are not only enough to improve the appearance of paintings, but also allow the painter's spiritual power to run without stagnation and minimize losses.
These paints cost at least one tael of one thousand taels of silver, and the cost of this shadow mural is at least one hundred thousand taels.
Other painters have huge family support behind them, but Jiang Yan is the only one, so he will never miss this opportunity to try out paints for free to increase his proficiency.
Zi Zeyuan's requirements for the screen wall were firstly to be beautiful, and secondly to highlight the integrity. Jiang Kuan scratched his head and began to write.
Shadow murals test the painter's wrist strength, spiritual power, skills and layout, and are the most difficult paintings.
Jiang Yan became more proficient after his experience in Huichun Town. He made a perfect arc with one stroke, and the lotus flower appeared in its first form on the screen wall.
The middle-grade paintings were not difficult for Jiang Yan. He could successfully complete seven or eight of the ten paintings, but the difficulty of the fine-grade paintings was much higher, especially the requirements for spiritual power.
In order to ensure the aura of the painting spirit, Jiang Yan was very careful every time he started writing, especially the input of spiritual power was very stable.
A fine painting consumes a huge amount of spiritual power, and Jiang Guan had to stop and rest after only one-fifth of the painting.
Cross-legged in front of the screen wall, the spiritual energy at the bottom of the lake nourishes the screen wall and is absorbed by Jiang Yan. His cultivation in the middle stage of Wu Ling is faintly breaking through to the upper level of Wu Ling. This can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
