Royal Master Painter

Chapter 14 Commissions to Get Funds
This market trick is obviously very effective, and many people will turn their heads to look at it when they pass by.

However, real painters are the guests of rich and noble families, and never engage in the business of selling calligraphy and paintings on the street, especially when the group of onlookers see that the seller is still a young boy, they lose interest in an instant.

Jiang Greed was also a little bored and fell asleep leaning back on the chair, because the sun was dazzling and covered his face with a piece of paper.

Selling paintings is a good way to make money, but it took a whole day for Jiang Greed to realize the reality. In this way, if you don’t keep money, you will starve to death if you don’t keep enough money in Buddhist business. The first thing a painter needs to sell paintings is fame.

Jiang Greed is young and new, so he is not well-known, but he has a shortcut to fame, for example, he has a colleague who is quite famous in Lin'an City by his side.

Squeezing away the crowd, he came to Yan Liliu's booth. Yan Liliu was enviable for making money every day.

"Is anyone buying such paintings?"

If you want to be famous, the fastest shortcut is of course to find a colleague who works in the same industry, Jiang Li, who is well versed in this way, said eccentrically.

"Master Yan is a well-known painter in Qingdu, what kind of painting do you know at a young age?" Someone next to him said.

"There are some young people who are talented and have a good penmanship, while others always hear the truth and never succeed. If you judge the quality of paintings according to their age, then bastards should be number one in the world."

Yan Liliu had already noticed that there was an extra young man selling paintings beside him, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but Yan Liliu turned his head after Jiang Li said these two sentences.

"Young man, why do I think you're talking to me?"

Yan Liliu's white hair is so dazzling at the moment.

"Your old paintings have abandoned the traditional painting skills, and you have found a new way to establish a school, which can be a great master of a generation."

Jiang Greed's language was very euphemistic but his meaning was very clear, so he was short of directly talking about the old man's wild way and Zixiu's Wild Fox Zen.

At first, Yan Liliu thought it was Jiang Greed who was complimenting him, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he put down the painting at hand.

"It's the first time we've met, why do I feel like you're looking for faults, if you don't tell the old man one, two, three today, the old man will never end with you"

"Master Yan's paintings are not something you, a young boy, can comment on. You really don't know how high the sky is and the earth is thick," someone beside him echoed.

"That's right, Master Yan finally came to our Lin'an City after traveling around the world, and even the dean of our Shanglin Academy, Feng Boyong, treated him with courtesy. If you dare to offend Master Yan, you are making things difficult for us."

Yan Liliu was also displeased when he saw the anger of the crowd for a while, but Jiang Li was not angry, the more people came, the better.

"Master Yan, any painting that doesn't use a writer, blowing clouds, splashing ink, water painting, fire painting, lacquer painting, and embroidery painting is not decent.

Although finger painting is not included in the list, finger painting has a small amount of ink, it is not easy to write long lines, it is not easy to write finely, and the picture is easy to be fragmented and trivial.

If you want to do finger painting, you need to be based on proficient and long-lasting strokes. The painting skills have reached the peak and reached the point where the palm of the hand corresponds. It is only a master who can't make a good work.

All kinds of finger paintings are often unexpected, and they get the benefits of seeming life but not life, clumsiness but not clumsiness, seeming ability but not ability, as well as meanings that cannot be pointed out, spirits that cannot be seen in form, and rhymes that cannot be found in ink.

If you can't reach such a state, you're just juggling in the rivers and lakes, and you can only fool heretics. "

His finger painting has indeed received countless criticisms. Some people even said that if fingers can paint, can feet be used for foot painting?Can the butt do butt painting?
Yan Liliu originally thought that this young man was also making trouble for no reason, but he didn't expect Jiang Li to be young, but it was difficult for him to refute with a few words that pointed directly at the core of the painting. These few words were a great inspiration to him.

"Little brother, you are right. I have been painting Danqing with brushes for half my life, but I have been limited by my talent for ten years and have not made further progress in creating finger paintings. However, the relationship between brushwork and finger movements has never been smooth." Yan Liliu actually asked for advice in public. Jiang Greed.

"Using the pen is constant; moving the finger is changing; seeking change in the constant is to understand the constant, and seeking constant in the change is to understand the change. Wherever it is difficult to use the brush, the finger can convey its spirit, but wherever the finger is, the brush cannot reach it. A vivid portrayal, in half armor and half flesh"

This is Jiang Li's point of view from a book that introduced finger painting before, and now he is copying it to fool the old man, but Yan Liliu suddenly felt enlightened.

Seeing more and more people watching, Jiang Greed was secretly happy, his goal had been achieved.

Selling calligraphy and paintings along the street always feels insulting to the gentleman. He can't open his mouth, and no one will come if he doesn't yell. After all, he is too young, so after thinking about it, he can only rely on his peers to help.

How can I stand taller?Of course, standing on the shoulders of the peers, who cares if the peers are willing or not!

But the miscalculation is that this colleague is too eager to learn and too shameless to ask, asking endlessly.

He is also called a kid, a little brother, and now he has become a master. Jiang Li really likes to listen to others flattering him, but it really affects his own business. In desperation, he can only use a trick to escape.

Jiang Li hurriedly found another place where there were not too many people, and avoided Yan Liliu, but there were many people passing by in the morning, but no one really wanted to write or paint.

Jiang Greed is not in a hurry. This kind of business is similar to robbery. It will not be opened for three years, and it will be eaten for three years.

At noon, someone finally came to the door, and it was a woman with a graceful appearance that could be said to be overwhelmed by the country, but Jiang Li saw that this person's expression was more like finding fault than buying a painting.

"Look at your young age, when you were struggling to study, you sold characters on the street without learning half the skills of your teacher. How is this different from begging on the side of the road? Every word and every word in this city's calligraphy stinks of copper, which is simply insulting to the gentlemen. You are corrupting I'm a gentleman"

Wenfu is divided into four categories: calligraphy, painting, poetry, and fu, so painters are also a kind of literati.

Jiang Greed looked around and saw that he was the only one on the left and right, and then he was sure that the young lady was scolding him.

Self-reliance is said to be a beggar begging for food, and using books to obtain funds is said to be degrading. As for corrupting the ethos of teachers, what kind of ethos did I break by self-taught.

For such unreasonable people, Jiang Greed has his own way to deal with, after all, everything in the world cannot be avoided with two sentences.

"It's none of your business." Jiang Greed's answer was simple and rude.

"you you…"

This woman was regarded as a bright pearl since she was a child, and grew up in an environment surrounded by stars, how could she ever experience such contradicting.

"Looking at your appearance, you can be regarded as a scribe. A scribe is a noble in the world and does not go with the world. The reputation of a scribe is not as good as these copper stinkers?"

"None of my business"

He's pretty good-looking, and his personality is really unpleasant.I am full of jewels and jewels, but I want to make others treat money like dirt, and I don't know who is sick.

"If you don't want to buy calligraphy and painting, go away quickly, don't affect my business." Jiang Greed issued the order to evict the customer.

"My name is Lin Wanxi, do you dare to drive me away?"

"It's okay if you don't go, I'll go"

Jiang Gu looked at how many guards were around the girl, and wondered in his heart, could it be that Lin Ancheng also has city management?Pack up the guys and prepare to move.

"and many more"

Lin Wanxi had never seen such a scoundrel before, and then she found a good way to deal with him.

"Aren't you going to sell calligraphy and paintings? I'll buy them!"

"Girl, just tell me what kind of calligraphy and painting you need"

Hearing that the girl wanted to buy a painting, Jiang Li instantly felt that the girl had beautiful features and features.

"My father likes poetry, calligraphy and painting. Today happens to be his 50th birthday. I want to buy a painting to celebrate his birthday."

"Okay, do you bring your own paint or use mine?" Jiang Greed asked with a smile.

"My lady can provide you with paints, but this painting must be high-quality, and at least ordinary!"

She just wanted to make things difficult for Jiang Greed. After all, among the younger generation in Lin Ancheng, few people can make ordinary paintings, let alone a young scholar who seems to be down and out. If he can't draw, he will be driven out of Lin Ancheng.

"Miss, even if you bring your own paint, the retouching fee for this ordinary painting is very expensive, it costs 600 taels."

"600 taels is 600 taels, here you are"

Seeing Jiang Li's dilemma, Lin Wanxi praised her wit, fearing that Jiang Li would regret it and directly took out a bank note from her purse and put it on the table.

There is also a place similar to a bank in Xuanguo, and there is no difference between bank notes and silver taels. Jiang Li carefully folded them up and put them in his arms, thinking to himself that this stupid girl really fell for it.

Spread out the drawing paper, take the paint from Lin Wanxi, grind it, and start painting.

Lin Wanxi didn't know the origin of this, although the texture of the paint was not as good as that given to him by Lu Daoxuan, it was much better than the one he made himself.

Since it is the painting made by He Shou, it is natural to press the title, the big chrysanthemum lives long, so the ancients often used the chunting to refer to the father, and the xuanting to refer to the mother. Jiang Li is going to draw a picture of chunxuan!

Double hook coloring, the thousand-year-old toon tree is tall and straight, with luxuriant branches and leaves, strange stones and exquisite orchids grow under the tree, and daylilies are soft, translucent and graceful, just like a beautiful woman.

With Jiang Li's painting skills and practice, the simplest low-grade paintings of flowers, birds, fish and insects can be drawn with no more than half an hour at most, but the difficulty of ordinary paintings has increased a lot and requires a little seriousness.

Lu Daoxuan said that the cultivation of the spiritual realm is very handy for ordinary paintings, and ordinary paintings can be completed in a day, but Jiang Li is a freak, because the painting skills he mastered are too incredible, so Jiang Li is still trying his best to control his paintings Keep brushes everywhere, for fear that if you accidentally draw too much.

At the same time, Jiang Li was also thinking about the future for himself. This girl's domineering appearance should not be an ordinary person. She was not taken lightly by him just now. After the painting was finished, he would find an opportunity to escape to avoid suffering.

While distracted, she painted for two full hours, Lin Wanxi ordered her servants to keep a close eye on Jiang Li, while she went to buy some other gifts.

When Lin Wanxi came back, the painting had already been finished. Originally, she had planned to humiliate Jiang Li in public and drive him out of the city, but when she saw the picture of Chunxuan, she was only shocked.

She is also a painter herself, and she is the most talented painter among Lin Ancheng's younger generation. There are only a handful of Fan Pin paintings at this age.

And because this painting was a gift, it was painted as a spiritual treasure and has not been published. As long as her seal is stamped, this painting will be hers.

"Where is the painter?"

Because Lin Wanxi was too engrossed in looking at the painting, Jiang Li had already fled from the crowd when Lin Wanxi looked up, leaving only a worthless empty stall.

While escaping, Jiang Li overheard the onlookers discussing that this Lin Wanxi was actually a talented painter from Shanglin Academy. At the age of [-], he once painted a medium-quality painting named Cao Yunzhou, and became a representative of the younger generation of Yunzhou. stand out.

Jiang Greed may be able to sneer at her painting, but it is only a middle-grade painting. If you tell her that he has made a high-quality painting, wouldn't it make her collapse?
But what really made him feel guilty was that Lin Wanxi was still the only daughter of Lin Fan, the prefect of Lin An City. Thinking about offending her just now, he fought a cold war.

"It seems that I won't be able to show up in Lin'an City for a while."
