Time passed silently, and Uncle Quan, who was leaning against the wall outside the door, fell asleep unconsciously.
The water had been used up, so Mr. Xie started to pack the tea utensils, but had no intention of continuing with the water.
Gu Quan saw that Fu Xie meant to give up, but he still didn't want to finish it. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Fu, can you give me this tea set?"
This set of tea utensils was brought from Caiwei, not his, but Gu Quan liked it, so Xie Fu just made the decision: "Of course."
He put away the tea utensils and said with a smile: "Uncle Gu, it's getting late, go to bed early."
Gu Quan was obviously unwilling to give up. He didn't feel sleepy and said with a smile, "Thank you, Master, for giving me a set of tea utensils. Can I give you a painting in return?"
Xie Fu was surprised: "This tea set is not worth much. My nephew would not dare to accept such precious paintings."
Gu Quan smiled and said, "I will draw a painting with my own hands and give it to you."
"Uncle Gu, do you paint with your own hands?"
Gu Quan saw Xie Fu's expression and said with a smile, "What? You look down on me, a businessman who smells like copper."
"How dare you."
"Well!"
Gu Quan rolled up his sleeves and was about to show off his skills when he suddenly realized that there was no pen or ink in the room, not to mention the drawing table. He was stunned for a moment.
Xie Fu shouted: "Uncle Quan..."
"Uncle Quan, are you still here?"
After shouting several times, Uncle Quan walked in, rubbing his eyes: "Second Young Master, what are your orders?"
"Uncle Quan, go get pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I need drawing paper."
"Second Young Master, it's already so late, so don't bother."
Gu Quan was in high spirits and could not be interrupted. He said in a deep voice, "Go right away!"
Seeing Gu Quan also speaking, Uncle Quan didn't dare to say any more and quickly went to get it.
"Thank you, Fu, I know you despise the painting that Uncle Gu is going to give you."
"How dare you, nephew?"
Gu Quan chuckled: "I know you are talking politely. No matter how good a painting a businessman can draw, I'm afraid it will be worthless and have nothing to appreciate."
Xie Fu had no choice but to smile and say nothing.
Gu Quan continued: "In addition to doing business, my other hobby in life is painting. To be boastful, your Uncle Gu's paintings are quite famous in Jiangnan."
Xie Fu said, Gu Quan is also a famous painter, which is unexpected.
Gu Quan smiled proudly: "Have you ever heard of Hui Chu Huaidian?"
"What is this? My nephew has never heard of it."
Gu Quan was stunned when he heard this, "Have you never heard of it?"
Xie Fu nodded: "My nephew has never heard of it."
Gu Quan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if it's because you are ignorant or..."
"I would like to listen to Uncle Gu's advice."
Gu Quan said: "Hui Chu and Huai Dian refer to the two recognized masters of painting in the south of the Yangtze River. Hui Chu is Mr. Chu Chun from Huizhou, and Huai Dian refers to the legendary talent Li Shao Dian from Yangzhou."
Xie Fu was stunned, what kind of name list am I on? It's really baffling.
"Your Uncle Gu, I am Mr. Chu Chun."
After Gu Quan finished speaking, he looked at Fu Xie proudly, and saw that Fu Xie's expression was calm and slightly suspicious. Fu Xie immediately realized it and said excitedly: "It turns out that Uncle Gu has such a great reputation in painting. !」
For some reason, Gu Quan always felt that Xie Fu was following the trend.
At this time, Uncle Quan came in with the Four Treasures of the Study with a plan: "Master Gu, where can I put them?"
Gu Quan smiled and said, "Is there any other place in this house where I can paint? Let's just put the bed."
Uncle Quan was surprised, could painting be so casual?
Gu Quan asked Xie Fu: "Xie Fu, you don't mind."
You can burn water on it to make tea, so what does it matter if you paint? Xie Fu smiled and said, "Of course!"
Gu Quan came to the couch, his feet slightly spread, and his posture was stable, masculine and upright.
Grind it, hold the pen, unfold the paper, and start painting.
Xie Fu watched quietly from the side.
As soon as the expert comes out
You can tell if it's there with your hands. After just a short look, Xie Fu can feel that Gu Quan is the most powerful enemy he has ever encountered in painting.
The painting can be done as you wish, with flowing strokes and smooth movements...
Painting on the spot is a difficult task. There is no turning back once you start painting. Even a master painter can only paint a good painting when he performs at a super level.
Not just a drop of ink becomes a treasure. Like those great painters, they painted countless paintings in their lifetimes. There are only a few famous paintings that can be passed down to the world, and the rest are difficult to reach the level of elegance.
Also because of the difficulty of painting on the spot, only true masters dare to paint on the spot.
At this moment, Xie Fu met his opponent in chess and felt the urge to compete in painting. He turned around and walked to Uncle Quan and whispered: "Uncle Quan, go get another copy of the Four Treasures of the Study and a few more pens."
Uncle Quan was surprised: "Second Young Master, what do you want to do?"
"I also want to paint."
Uncle Quan quickly fetched the four treasures of the study. Xie Fu glanced at the room and saw that the bed was already occupied by Gu Quan. He simply spread the drawing paper on the ground and lay down to draw.
Gu Quan's skills in painting no longer require formal things such as painting tables.
Xie Fu is more accustomed to this informal way of painting. He can paint on the wall, on the ground, standing, squatting, lying down, or prone.
No matter what, I do it casually, but I rarely paint formally in front of the painting table.
When Uncle Quan saw it, he thought, Oops, the second young master has started painting the dragon talisman again. There are some walls in the house that the young master painted, and they were just painted a few days ago.
Can this kind of dragon-painting male talisman compare with Mr. Gu? Don't make fun of your generosity and let Mr. Gu look down upon you.
Suddenly, I thought about it and puffed up my chest. Who is my second young master? He is a piece of jade covered in dust. I, the old man, have no eyesight and do not know how to inlay gold with jade.
Gu Quan was fully immersed in the painting and did not realize that Xie Fu was also painting. He was so absorbed at the moment that even a muffled thunder sound around him would not disturb him.
Making a painting is a long process, sometimes it takes a day, sometimes it takes half a month or even a month.
Although both of them started writing quickly, they failed to complete the painting for a long time.
Time passed silently, and Uncle Quan fell asleep leaning against the door panel in this soothing and quiet atmosphere.
The rooster crows, it's already five o'clock in the morning, but the two of them are still the same.
When the first ray of light in the morning entered the house, the two of them still did not notice the changes between night and day.
After Gu Quan finished painting and put down his pen, he realized that it was already dawn. He had been painting all night without hearing any sound. This boy must have fallen asleep.
Turning his head, he saw Mr. Xie lying on the ground painting. The golden sunlight shone on him, on his face biting the pen and on his hands holding the pen between his fingers.
Gu Quan was stunned. Before he could study it carefully, Xie Fu put his pen down and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally the painting is done."
Gu Quan looked at the drawing paper on the ground and blurted out: "Wow...Cao!"
As a person of status, it is obvious how surprised he is to speak foul language.
What was painted on the paper on the ground was a picture of Zhilan and Yushu, which was exactly the same as the title of his painting. He painted this painting as a gift to Xie Fu to express his love for Xie Fu.
"Did you draw it?"
Xie Fu was shocked when he heard this. Could it be you painted it?
Gu Quan felt that he had asked a very stupid question. The brushstrokes were wet, the painting was fresh and glossy, and the ink was still wet. It was obviously a new work.
There is no doubt that it was written by Xie Fu.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "Uncle Gu, you are showing off your shame. I saw you painting earlier and my hands were itchy for a moment."
Gu Quan looked at the painting on the ground and clicked his tongue. For a moment, he didn't know what words to use to express it. All he could think of was "stunning".
He quickly pulled Xie Fu onto the bed and said enthusiastically: "Xie Fu, look at my painting."
Xie Fu was shocked when he saw the painting, and he held up his hands and said, "My nephew, I'm sorry."
When Gu Quan was writing, Xie Fu looked at it for a while, and judged from the rough position of the pen that Gu Quan wanted to draw a picture of Zhilan Yushu. It was not surprising, so he followed suit and drew Zhilan Yushu.
Orchid jade tree picture.
However, after the painting was completed, the whole painting was filled with purple energy. Regardless of the painting skills, Gu Quan's painting was superior in terms of the conception of the painting.
Gu Quan was not modest either. He chuckled and said, "This is a rare masterpiece in my life. When I was painting, I concentrated on it and finished it in one go. It's not unfair for you to lose."
"But this doesn't mean that my painting skills are better than yours. Last night was my best state of energy and energy, just like the moon waxes and wanes. It can only be said that I will be slightly better this time."
Gu Quan said, looking at the painting on the ground, "I heard that Li Shaodian can use his hands, feet and mouth at the same time when painting. Are you Li Shaodian?"
Using the hands, feet, and mouth together for painting is nothing more than a miraculous skill. The key is that the level of painting has reached the level of a master, which is not inferior to him.
The only person who can meet these two conditions is the master of painting recognized by literati, Huai Dian and Li Shaodian.
Xie Fu acquiesced: "Make Uncle Gu laugh."
Gu Quan laughed loudly: "Hui Chu Huai Dian, you and I are equally famous. I have always been unconvinced. I wanted to fight with you, but I couldn't find you. I broke through the iron shoes and couldn't find you. Unexpectedly, I unknowingly I just had a fight with you, brother."
Gu Quan was very happy and patted Xie Fu's shoulder heavily.
Xie Fu never cared about these false reputations and said with a smile: "After today, do you know the male and female?"
Gu Quan smiled and said, "No, no, no, this time it was my luck. Next time I won't know who is the female and who is the male?"
"Thank you, Fu, for giving you this picture of Zhilan Yushu with purple energy coming from the east."
"I also want to give the painting I made last night to Uncle Gu, and ask Uncle Gu to accept it."
"Okay, Li Shaodian's calligraphy is worth a thousand dollars, how can I miss it."
The two gave each other calligraphy treasures and cherished each other.
Gu Quan looked at the orchid tree man in front of him and said sincerely: "Fu, I like you so much that I wish I could marry my daughter to you."
Xie Fu was stunned when he heard this and said in shock: "Uncle Gu, the marriage between our two families has been decided, you can't change your mind temporarily."
To be honest, Xie Fu didn't want to steal his cousin's fiancée and cause the relationship between the two brothers to break down.
Besides, he was already in a state of trouble with his own marriage, so he could still be greedy and look for trouble.
Gu Quan realized that Xie Fu already had two fiancées, so he could marry his daughter again, with a look of regret on his face.
Seeing this, Fu Xie hurriedly said: "Uncle Gu, my cousin is as talented and knowledgeable as me, and his moral character is infinitely better than mine. He is also a role model for me to learn from since childhood."
"Yes, the thank you gift is also very nice, but I like you more. Alas, it's a pity that I only have one daughter, otherwise I would marry you and become your concubine."
Xie Fu was flattered: "Thank you Uncle Gu for your kindness. My nephew appreciates it. How dare I ask a dignified young lady from the Gu family to be my concubine? Just treat it as a joke."
