Suddenly looking back.
The painter you are looking for is right in front of you?
Su Yu knew that Gu Changle could read and write well.
But what I didn't expect was that she could even draw.
It's okay to learn how to read and write. After all, Gu Changle's family is in Fucheng, so it's not difficult to learn these things.
But painting is not that simple.
Unless you are born with talent, you will need to be taught by a specialized painting master.
Do ordinary girls really have so many girls?
Su Yu was a little confused.
Gu Changle seemed to notice his confusion and explained with a smile: "Zhao, Grandpa Zhao is good at painting. I learned from him when I was a child."
Su Yu suddenly realized.
I see.
That old man Zhao is a scholar, and he seems to be quite educated.
It’s not surprising that he can draw.
This would be of great help.
Su Yu told Gu Changle what he wanted to draw.
He wants to draw a picture of a beautiful lady.
Today's pictures of ladies basically have slender eyes and mainly focus on artistic conception.
Therefore, Su Yu's pictures of ladies cannot be like the current pictures of ladies.
What he wants is to focus on realism.
"Realistic?"
This was the first time Gu Changle heard such a request.
Aren’t the generally realistic portraits of prisoners?
Su Yu smiled and said, "How about you draw a picture of yourself first, and then I will tell you where to change it?"
Gu Changle is so good-looking, so his self-portrait must be good.
However, Su Yu would definitely not do business with his wife's self-portrait. He just wanted Gu Changle to get familiar with this style of painting first.
"I will write out the story in the next few days. Then you can draw on the story after reading it."
Gu Changle happily agreed.
Anyway, even if she went to the bookstore during the day, she would have nothing to do, so it would be nice to be able to help Su Yu.
This matter was also resolved successfully.
Su Yu found that if he had any difficulties, Gu Changle could help him.
Now he lives in Gu Changle's house, eats her food, uses her food, and even takes out all her personal money.
Gu Changle himself didn't even ask for money to work for him.
Just like this, the aunt was previously afraid that she would run away with the money when she arrived in Fucheng.
When Su Yu thought about this, he felt a little funny.
But I am just a soft-boiled person now, and it won’t work if I continue like this.
Although Gu Changle and Old Man Gu didn't mind, Su Yu still cared about it.
After eating, he went into the study again and began to think about what he wanted to write.
…
Early the next morning.
Not long after Su Yu went out, Gu Changle went to the bookstore for a while and then went home to prepare for painting.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Old Man Gu took Uncle Fu with a smile and went out, hands behind his back.
The Zhao family's house is much larger than theirs.
It is a large house with three entrances.
But Old Man Zhao, like Old Man Gu, doesn't usually live here.
Only when there are too many customers who come to interview him will he come here to hide in peace.
After knocking on the door, someone quickly brought Old Man Gu in.
"Our master is in the study. Please wait a moment. I will report it right away."
After Old Man Gu sat down, tea was quickly brought to him.
He drank slowly and waited for Old Man Zhao to come over.
Old man Zhao had previously said that he would give Gu Changle a wedding gift, and he wanted to draw her a painting of the music and the music.
Gu Changle lacked nothing, and there was no need to give away those tacky things.
He has a high prestige among literati, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find a painting.
Sending a hand-painted painting also expresses congratulations to him as an elder.
As a result, while I was painting, I heard an announcement that the King of Huainan was coming.
Old man Zhao put down the brush in his hand somewhat unhappily.
"What else is he here for?"
"Didn't you say you won't be playing chess during this period?"
Yesterday, he came to visit him, but the old man refused his invitation to fight.
I came here out of nowhere today, do you want to continue mocking me for losing?
Old man Zhao walked over with a dark face.
He said bluntly: "What are you doing if you don't play chess?"
Old Man Gu was not annoyed and said with a smile, "Of course something happened."
Old man Zhao sat down and snorted coldly: "You'd better be busy."
"If nothing happens, don't blame me for not greeting you!"
"Hey, you old man is still a scholar, and you are quite angry." Old Man Gu couldn't help laughing.
"I just want to win back a few chess moves from you, but why am I so angry like this?"
Say so.
He completely forgot that when he was defeated repeatedly in battles before, his face was even darker than that of Old Man Zhao.
Old man Zhao didn't want to talk nonsense to him.
"You have something to say."
"Fine."
Old Man Gu stopped playing haha and asked Uncle Fu behind him to take it out.
"What did you write?"
Old man Zhao took it with an inexplicable expression.
It was really rare that old man Gu actually gave him a piece of paper with writing on it.
"Oh, I want you to read what my grandson-in-law wrote."
Upon hearing this, Old Zhao's face suddenly turned darker again.
You mean, this is an article written by Su Yu?
This old man came to visit today just to ask me to help him read his grandson-in-law's articles so that he could give some advice?
He was the number one scholar back then, and an article like this with no logic was not worthy of his guidance!
Even though Old Man Gu wanted something from him, Old Man Zhao immediately picked it up.
After he took it, he was not in a hurry to look at it.
Instead, he said, "I'm telling the truth."
"I have read your grandson-in-law's article before."
"The nonsense may be an exaggeration, but there is absolutely no shady secret behind repeated failure."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"Oh?" Old Man Gu said nonchalantly: "Then what?"
Old man Zhao wanted to roll his eyes again.
"Then the other thing is, for such a bad article, I need my guidance. Even if you get it, you have to pay a price!"
"Play chess!"
"Play chess first to satisfy me, then I'll watch!"
Old Man Gu shook his head and decisively refused.
"No less."
The only one who deserves to be angry is himself.
It's fun to see old man Zhao anxious, but he hasn't seen enough yet.
Old man Zhao slapped the paper in his hand on the table unhappily.
"If I don't play chess, I won't watch this either."
"Oh, don't watch it if you don't want to."
Old man Gu deliberately teased him.
"Anyway, Changle asked me to help bring it over. Grandpa Zhao will definitely be happy after seeing it."
"Since you're so unhappy, I'll just take it back and tell her directly."
After saying that, he made a gesture to leave.
"etc."
Old man Zhao quickly took back the paper on the table and said, "Since Changle wants to bring it over, it doesn't matter if I take a look at it."
This old man named Gu was very bad, but he was still a very filial child in Changle.
Old man Zhao will still agree to her small request.
Old man Zhao thought and opened the paper.
But he was still muttering: "Su Yu's article is really average. If I have reviewed it, don't be angry."
Old Man Gu smiled and said nothing.
Old man Zhao started to look.
Take a look at the beginning.
Um?
Four-legged account?
What's the meaning? Not an imperial examination article?
Then look down.
The more he looked, the bigger his eyes became.
At the end, Old Man Zhao couldn't help but tremble slightly as he held the paper.
His eyes were frighteningly bright, and he asked Old Man Gu with disbelief on his face.
"Is this really written by Su Yu?"
