Wu Yuan was startled.
She raised her head, her black hair hanging on her snow-white neck and collarbone, beads of sweat dotted her face, and she looked particularly charming.
The car window glass is covered with a one-way film, so normally you can't see what's going on inside from the outside, but now - the lights are on inside the car, so you can still see it.
She instinctively wanted to turn off the lights. When she caught a glimpse of the figure outside, she was relieved and didn't turn off the lights. Instead, she stretched out her jade fingers and pressed down on the car window. Then she stepped over Li Shi's legs and lowered her head on the car door.
"Sister-in-law Yuan, please cook us two bowls of noodles in half...an hour."
The person walking outside was the aunt who was helping her look after the house, her surname was Yuan.
She heard some movement, but Wu Yuan didn't come into the house, so she came over to check the situation.
Sister-in-law Yuan's eyes were very sharp, and because she was so close, she could clearly see the man sitting underneath Wu Yuan with the help of the lights in the car.
Something looks familiar.
Although she was over fifty years old and well-informed, she still blushed, turned around and walked into the house after saying yes, with a puzzled look in her eyes - she always felt that she had seen that man before somewhere.
When she entered the kitchen, she suddenly remembered, wasn't this the photographer who had taken Mr. Wu's photos before?
At that time, Mr. Wu seemed to be very interested in that young man.
"Tsk, tsk, Mr. Wu... succeeded?"
Sister-in-law Yuan sighed a little and thought, if she could go back to her childhood, she would definitely listen to her mother and go to school well, at least pass the technical secondary school entrance examination, and then work hard to make money, so that she could become a rich woman like Mr. Wu, even if she is older, she would still have Good-looking young people like it.
The greening of the villa is very good, the light is dim at night, the shadows of the trees are dancing, and the atmosphere is very strong.
"Teacher Li, do you still have time tomorrow?"
More than an hour later, Wu Yuan suddenly raised her head and asked.
Li Shi looked relaxed and was chatting with Lu Congwei on his mobile phone.
After Chen Yao decided to come to Tanzhou tomorrow, he contacted Lu Congwei and asked him if he wanted to come with him. However, Lu Congwei also wanted to sell the stone he won in the last public auction, plus he had a good relationship with his new girlfriend. It was so hot that there was no time at all.
"I have something serious to do tomorrow." Seeing her hoarse voice, Li Shi replied first, then reached for the thermos water cup placed on the center console, opened it, and fed it to her mouth: "Moisten your throat."
The pink thermos cup that Wu Yuan always keeps in the car has a capacity of 500 ml. She drank the water she used to gargle without thinking it was dirty, so she was not too short of water, but she talked a lot recently and used her throat a lot. Easy to dry out.
She took it, drank the water in the glass in one breath, and continued to ask: "What about tonight?"
Li Shi thought for a moment and said, "If things go well tomorrow afternoon, I may go back to my hometown of Baoqing City."
"oh."
Li Shi heard the disappointment in her words and said with a smile: "If you have time, you can also come to Baoqing to play with me. Although my hometown is a small place, the scenery is very good, and many places are suitable for taking pictures. of."
Wu Yuan's eyes lit up and she blinked: "Okay, I haven't been to Baoqing yet. When I come back from Shanghai, I must go and have fun. I heard that Langshan is quite beautiful."
"I've never been to Langshan Mountain, but I heard it's pretty good."
It was already early winter, and the temperature outside the car was quite cold. The two chatted in the car for a while. After the sweat on Wu Yuan's body had dried, they got out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the villa.
Sister-in-law Yuan made all the preparations and waited. Finally, when they entered the house, she quickly put egg noodles into the boiling pot.
Looking at the boiling water, she couldn't help but think that it was really an hour, and Mr. Wu was really lucky.
No wonder those strong women in TV dramas nowadays like to look for young people. In fashionable terms, what are they called?
Small breed dog?
…
It's half past twelve in the morning.
Li Shi sweated a little and felt unwell, so he went to take a shower again.
After coming out of the bathroom, the curvaceous woman on the bed had fallen asleep.
He took his mobile phone and sat down on the lazy sofa in front of the window, looking out at the quiet yard outside the window. He unlocked it, opened WeChat, flipped to the dialog box with Chen Yao, and took a look at the messages he hadn't read because he was busy.
"Tomorrow I will bring the painting you drew for me with me. Then I will stamp it for my sister (smiley face)"
Li Shi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Chen Yao was really thinking about this matter.
Although his proficiency in portrait sketching may be comparable to that of some outstanding art graduates in society, he has always only measured his level by studying the panel, which is both comprehensive and demanding. He is single-minded. You may already have (Proficiency +) or even touch (Proficiency -) in portrait sketching, but the learning progress in other aspects has not caught up, so the comprehensive level of sketching is still only (Proficiency) level.
What's more, looking at the five levels of entry, proficiency, proficiency, professional, and master, even if you reach the proficiency level, it is still only an intermediate level. You must reach the professional level to be called a "painter" in the evaluation system of the learning panel.
Li Shi felt that his painting skills were still average, so he paid no attention to the seal.
"The auction in Xiangjiang will have to wait until January. Tian Huang won't be able to make it in time, but he can exchange it for an jade seal first."
"Think about the style first, and then design and exchange it when we return to Phoenix Bay tomorrow morning."
Li Shi clicked on the input method, edited the text, and replied: "Okay."
Then I went back to bed, leaned on the bedside, and used my mobile phone to look up some details about calligraphy, painting, and seals. After getting a general idea, I had an idea in my mind, and then I lay down to rest.
His qi and blood are so strong that when he lies there, he forms the veins of mountains and rivers. Looking from a distance, it seems that there is a divine dragon reaching for its claws, grabbing the cloud peaks, reaching down to the eyes of the sea, straddling the sky and the earth, sucking in the clouds, wind and snow, and giving birth to frost. Grass and plum blossoms.
A dreamless night.
When they got up the next morning, Wu Yuan drove Li Shi back to Phoenix Bay.
She thought that Li Shi would soon return to his hometown in Baoqing, and she would have to go to Shanghai to work on the new store. The next time she would eat meat would probably be at least ten days and a half months later, so she felt reluctant and followed him upstairs.
We sat there for another hour, and by the way, we had breakfast together.
I took a call at nine o'clock, wiped my mouth with a tissue, and left in a hurry.
After Wu Yuan left, Li Shi stood up from the dining table, stretched out comfortably, strolled to the study room, and began to design his first seal.
He planned to get a name stamp first.
I opened the browser on my tablet, searched for an online font conversion website, and entered "Li Shi". Soon I got the elegant small seal script with the word "Li Shi".
For comparison, he took a pencil and began to design the "six-point seal".
The size of the six-point print is about 1.8 centimeters in length and width, and he set the height at 3.8 centimeters.
Yangwen was chosen as the seal.
After writing and drawing for more than ten minutes, a rectangular seal soon appeared on the drawing paper. For the convenience of redemption, Li Shi also specially drew three different angles.
"Should I choose green or purple as the color?"
Li Shi thought about it and decided to choose green for the time being. The purple jade sample in his hand was not perfect yet, and could only reach high ice. For the use of any wealth attribute point, he wanted to maximize the value as much as possible. change.
After deciding on the color, Li Shi looked at the design draft and began to imagine what the finished jade seal would look like. Then he stretched out his left hand, called up the learning panel, and chose to redeem it.
The next moment, a glass jade seal full of sun green, 1.8 centimeters long, 3.8 centimeters high, and weighing 30 grams, appeared in Li Shi's hand.
First "take a look" at the changes in the learning panel——
Name: Li Shi
Physique: 26.9
Wealth: 15.635 [Whether to redeem]
Currently learning: Sketching (Proficient)
Learning completion library: Chinese, car driving, camera photography, competitive sprinting, and middle-distance running.
"The wealth attribute points are 0.03 less..."
After a quick glance, his attention began to focus on the newly redeemed seal.
The seal is in the shape of a regular rectangular parallelepiped without any carvings on it. It is extremely simple and has a simple air. And the whole body is crystal clear, full of green, and faintly shrouded in halo, making people fall in love with it at first sight.
The literati like it for its simplicity and agility, while the common people will probably love it for its high value - this kind of flawless glass filled with green seals, Li Shi has never seen it anywhere else, or even heard of it. I said that the market value is at least one million!
Li Shi took both elegance and vulgarity into account. He held it in his hand and played with it for a while. He couldn't put it down just like he used to appreciate red plums in the snowy mountains.
After a while, he wanted to try out the seal effect, so he called his assistant Zhang Huijing on his mobile phone: "How is it? Have you bought the ink pad?"
"Boss, please take a look at WeChat Pay."
As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Huijing's voice was heard.
After a while, I heard her say into the microphone: "Boss, I just told the merchant that the ink pad has been bought. Xiling ink pad. According to your requirements, I bought the collector-grade ink pad recommended by the merchant. I Send it to you."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Come take a taxi quickly."
Li Shi hung up the phone, looked at the seal in his hand, smiled, and thought, only I can do such a luxurious thing with egg-level green glass jade as a seal.
"The wealth should not be exposed. This seal should not be seen by outsiders for the time being."
Li Shi played with it for a while, opened the drawer, and put the jade seal in first.
Half an hour later, assistant Zhang Huijing delivered the ink pad, and Li Shi immediately sent her out: "The guest is taking the high-speed train to Tanzhou at 11:30, and it's almost time now. You drive that Bentley there." I'll pick you up at the high-speed rail station and I'll send you the photo now."
Zhang Huijing, the little assistant, has been "free-range" for a while. Occasionally, she is driven so intensively by her boss. She is still very excited and energetic. She pats her chest, which is not small, and says a promise. She gets excited immediately after holding the car key. Rushed to execute.
Li Shi looked at her graceful back and sighed, "It's great to be young."
"I just have an old mentality. In the eyes of people who think I'm good, I'm quiet and steady. In the eyes of people who think I'm bad, I might be criticized as 'lifeless'."
He smiled and had no intention of changing anything. He was who he was. As long as he felt good about it and the people he cared about felt good about it, that would be fine. It didn't matter what outsiders thought of him.
When he came to the study, Li Shi prepared cinnabar and put it in a round porcelain box.
He took out the jade name stamp from the drawer, stuck it with red clay, and pressed it on the white sketch paper. Soon, there were two simple small seal characters carved in Yang on the paper: Li Shi.
"not bad."
After wiping off the remaining ink pad on the seal, Li Shi went to the storage room to find a jewelry box, put the seal in it, opened the safe, and put it in.
Glancing at the jade ring that he exchanged at the beginning, Li Shi suddenly thought that this ring was gathering dust in the safe. He usually didn't take it out to look at, let alone wear it, but it could make Chen Yao "unintentional" "Chinese" seen.
"She is interested in Wushi brand because she is looking for top-notch products for men to wear for a high-end customer."
He pursed his lips and smiled, put the wrench and the No Matter Card into the same jewelry box, and closed the safe door again.
I returned to the desk and checked the time. It was still early.
Li Shi set an alarm clock, then tidied up the desktop, rearranged the pens, inks, paper and inkstones used in traditional Chinese painting, and still called out the "100 Famous Ancient Line Drawing Paintings" collected in the tablet computer, and turned to the second painting - Li Gonglin. "Five Horses Picture".
Li Gonglin, a native of Shuzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, is an undoubted master painter in the field of traditional Chinese painting in history!
Li Shi, who has the same surname as his family, not to mention that he is knowledgeable, good at antiquity, proficient in poetry, and his calligraphy has the style of the Jin and Wei dynasties. He only talks about painting, which is really about figures, historical facts, Buddhism, scholars, landscapes, pommel horses, and animals. , flowers and birds are omnipotent and perfect at everything.
Combining the strengths of various painters, he developed and innovated the "white drawing" painting method after he became a master of painting, which was known as "sweeping powder and black ink, using only a few strokes of clear ink". "Without any painting, the brilliance is moving." Su Dongpo praised him: "Long Mian has a thousand horses in his chest, and he paints not only the flesh but also the bones."
He is recognized as the first person in Song Dynasty painting and the undoubted master of painting!
Li Shi carefully observed "Five Horses" and thought to himself: "If I really choose painting as the first subject of study to become a master, then this person will be one of the 'templates' that I need to study carefully."
At 11:40, Li Shi received a call from his assistant Zhang Huijing. She had already received the call.
After waiting for another twenty minutes, I put down my pen, went out with my mobile phone and car keys, and drove my Volvo xc90 to the Xiangzhai Hotel, three kilometers away from Phoenix Bay.
After ordering the food, he sat in the private room for a while. After receiving Zhang Huijing's WeChat message, he came to the door of the hotel and met Chen Yao and his party.
"Sister Yao, we meet again. Welcome to Nanhu Province." Li Shi quickened his pace to greet Chen Yao and shook hands with Chen Yao first.
Although we got to know each other quite well in Dongguang Province last time, we still have to pay attention to the necessary etiquette when people come from afar.
Chen Yaojiao's beautiful face was full of smiles: "Brother Li, I'm here to bother you. I haven't seen you for a few days. Have you become handsome again?"
Li Shi laughed and said hello to a few people behind Chen Yao.
One is her assistant, the other is an old appraiser from her company, and the other is a man in his 10s and 30s who is her brother. They are all old acquaintances. They met him last time in Pingzhou and when he went to Jieyang for public sales.
After entering the box, Li Shi said with a smile: "Today we are eating authentic Hunan cuisine, mainly Baoqing cuisine in Hunan cuisine. My hometown is Baoqing. You are welcome to try the taste of my hometown. "
He was about to introduce the dishes when his cell phone on the dining table rang twice, and a WeChat notification popped up at the top of the screen.
"This dish is Baoqing blood duck with gallinobacteria, this is Wugang copper goose, and this is pig blood meatballs..."
After Li Shi introduced the dishes, he asked everyone to use their chopsticks to eat, and then gave Chen Yao a piece of Baoqing's special braised pork before picking up his phone and unlocking it to check.
The message was sent by Wu Yuan.
"Teacher Li, are you still in Tanzhou tonight?"
He typed quickly: "Still here, sure to go to Baoqing tomorrow."
Just two seconds after sending it, she immediately responded to the message.
It's a photo!
As soon as he glanced at it, Li Shi subconsciously turned off the screen of his phone quickly and looked around. Seeing that everyone was enjoying the food and no one was looking at him, he took the phone close and leaned back to make sure that no one could see the screen except him. After seeing it, unlock it again.
"This woman is real."
Li Shi stared at the photo and blinked.
