"Young Master, you don't know how impressive you were just now." Ruhua jumped up and down all the way, "That Yunlai Pavilion is so bold that they actually used the Sixth Prince's name. Well done, Young Master!"
Zhao Pei was silent as she thought about the painting just now. Although it was different from the one painted by Xiao Lun, it had its own unique charm, just like the frost in the cold sky.
"Sir, please wait a moment." Someone called her from behind. Zhao Pei turned around and saw the man who had bumped into her not long ago.
Zhao Pei frowned, not knowing what he meant. She could only stand there and watch him walk towards her step by step with a smile.
"My last name is He, and my given name is Hui." He introduced himself and looked at her with a smile. "To be honest, that Guanyin painting was created by me."
Zhao Pei was stunned, scratched his head a little embarrassedly and laughed.
He Hui smiled and said, "Your words just now really make me feel ashamed. It's rare to meet someone who understands painting, and I would like to ask you for advice. I wonder if you would do me the honor of having a cup of tea with me?"
He asked her sincerely. Zhao Pei looked at Ruhua and saw that the girl's eyes were almost glued to He Hui. She smiled and said, "Then I'd better obey your command."
There were three people sitting behind the bamboo curtain.
Zhao Pei looked at He Hui who was sitting opposite her: "My name is Xu... Zhao." Looking at Ru Hua who was blushing beside her, she smiled faintly: "This is my wife." He Hui smiled reasonably: "Hello, Madam."
Ruhua looked up at Zhaopei, with a look of resentment but not resentment. Zhaopei was amused, so he ignored her and turned to He Hui and said, "Mr. He, I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were the one painting it, so I offended you. Please forgive me."
He Hui smiled cheerfully: "No problem. I think what Master Xu said is very right. But I would like to ask, what is the charm that Master Xu is talking about?"
Zhao Pei sipped the tea carefully and smiled faintly, "The charm is in the eyes. Shao Ling Wang's Guanyin paintings focus on the eyes, and a simple look can express the Zen flavor. Clear and detached, as if there is nothing in the world and as if it embraces the world." She recalled those eyes and couldn't help muttering, "Just like his, like stars."
He Hui imagined for a moment, and suddenly his eyes sparkled. He smiled and said, "He I understand. Mr. Xu knows so much about the painting style of King Shaoling, he must have studied it in depth."
Zhao Pei laughed and said, "I was just thinking about it to kill time in my spare time. Master He, just treat it as a joke. In fact, Master He's paintings are already good. Why do you want to risk the reputation of King Shaoling? You can create a new world for yourself."
He Hui sighed and said quietly, "I don't want to do this either. Who would have thought that people only care about fame and not reality? When will a poor scholar like me have a chance to make a living?" He laughed mockingly, "Please forgive me, Master Xu. I am just bragging."
"Mr. He is ambitious and will surely succeed." Zhao Pei consoled him with a smile, "I am very happy to meet someone as talented as Mr. He. How about we call each other brothers? We can save ourselves the formalities."
He Hui smiled happily: "Of course it's good. It's also an honor for me to meet you. I'm already seventeen this year, you must be younger than me. How about I call you Brother Xu and you call me Brother He?"
Zhao Pei's eyes narrowed into crescents: "Brother He."
The warm sunshine shone on her face, and her flawless face was full of a sincere smile. He felt warm in his heart for no reason and replied, "Xu Di."
Suddenly thinking of something, he asked again, "I have lived here for some time, and I have never seen you before. From your accent, it seems that you are from the capital?"
"Exactly. I've been staying at home for too long and want to go out and see the world. So I'm taking my wife out for a walk and some experience."
Zhao Pei made up an excuse. Seeing He Hui looking at her with an inquiring look, Zhao Pei felt a little uneasy but immediately looked back at him calmly: "Brother He, are all his family here?"
"I'm alone and have no ties. I was just traveling around, and seeing the nice scenery here, I wanted to stay here permanently. Speaking of the scenery here, brother Xu, you must not have had the chance to see it properly since you just arrived. If I have time, how about letting me, your brother, take you and your wife for a walk?" He Hui asked for her opinion with a smile.
Zhao Pei smiled and said, "Of course it is good."
Looking at his light brown pupils, she seemed to have completely forgotten the real purpose of her trip. (To be continued)
