"Master wants to find me?" Lu Xiaoshu was washing his hands and face by the well, when he heard this, he raised his head and blinked his eyes. The clear drops of water hang on the eyelashes, and the rosy cheeks are very cute and pampered.
"Master, he hasn't looked for me for a long time!" Lu Xiaoshu curled his mouth and asked with a smile: "Little aunt and master didn't say anything? Do you have to go there now?"
Tong Yu'er laughed and said: "I didn't say that, it was a message from a child in the village who told you to go there as soon as you come back! Hurry up, Mr. Wu will definitely not look for you if he has nothing to do."
Lu Xiaoshu let out an "oh" and shook his hands, thinking to himself: Master will definitely not look for me if there is no bad thing... There must be no good thing for Master to find me!
Lu Xiaoshu came to Mr. Wu's place, and Mr. Wu was painting in the bamboo hall, when he heard her calling "Master" outside, he responded and told her to go in.
Lu Xiaoshu, even though he was naughty and bold, didn't dare to blaspheme lightly. He bowed respectfully at the door and said "yes" before he walked in calmly.
"Master! I heard that you are looking for me!" Entering the bamboo hall, Lu Xiaoshu's expression suddenly became much brighter, his eyes brightened, and he said to Mr. Wu with a smile.
"Well," Mr. Wu was holding a pen with one hand loosely behind his back at this time, slightly bending over to draw a picture by the window, and a long piece of snow-white rice paper was spread on the large and simple desk.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the windows, covering the room with a soft golden layer. His whole body was shrouded in this faint golden layer, which made Lu Xiaoshu suddenly feel afraid to look up, and he was stunned there.
For a while, Mr. Wu didn't hear any movement behind him. This was not like his little apprentice's style, so he straightened his waist in surprise, turned his head back, saw her in a daze, smiled at her, and gestured: " Xiaoshu, come here."
"Oh, master!" Lu Xiaoshu came back to his senses, and stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"What do you think of this painting by Master?" Mr. Wu asked with a smile.
"Master's paintings are naturally good, so there's no need to say—ah!" Before Lu Xiaoshu could finish his compliment, he turned into an exclamation in his mouth.
She knows best about her own paintings. This painting under Master's hands is clearly the picture of pines, wind, mist and rain that she painted when she was aliased as Bi Teng Shanren. She only needs to glance over and she can conclude that the style of painting is different, and the composition and layout are almost the same. Not bad at all!
"What's the matter? Didn't you draw well for the teacher?" Mr. Wu looked at her in surprise when he saw her reaction.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but be suspicious secretly, wondering if Master knew or didn't know? Hearing his question, of course Lu Xiaoshu couldn't admit it first, so he hurriedly smiled along with him, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, that's great! Master's handwriting can be wrong, hehe !"
Mr. Wu stared at her with a pair of jet-black pupils, his pupils moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in a half-smile.
"Master... why are you looking at me like this? Could it be that what I said is wrong..." Lu Xiaoshu made him feel a little nervous when he asked him to look at me like this, and he always felt that Master's special call to come here could not be as simple as asking him to look at a painting .
"Isn't that right? It's hard to say!" Mr. Wu gracefully put down his pen, stepped back two steps to the side, motioned her to step forward to take a closer look, and asked with a smile: "Look carefully, how much money is this painting worth?" ?”
Lu Xiaoshu's heart jumped violently with a "boom!", and he forced a smile along with him: "Master... Master's paintings are all priceless treasures, how can you-"
Mr. Wu stopped her with a wave of his hand, and said, "Where is there any priceless treasure in this world? Priceless treasure is just a saying, but it is naturally valuable. Tell me, how does this painting compare to the one from Biteng Mountain?"
Lu Xiaoshu's face became even uglier, he bit his lip, and timidly glanced at Mr. Wu, looking very pitiful.
Mr. Wu's face darkened, he flicked his sleeves and scolded: "Xiao Shu, aren't you telling the truth!"
Lu Xiaoshu is a master who does not shed tears when she sees the coffin. Although she respects her master and understands that the master knows something out of ten, but the master did not really catch her, she will not fall into the trap of surrendering. ! Stiffing his neck, he said, "What does Master want me to say? I don't know!"
"You are still stubborn!" Mr. Wu knew that she was not a master who would tell the truth, but he did not expect that his mouth would be so stubborn. As a master, he caught her by surprise and asked her such an obvious question, but she still refused to admit it. .
Lu Xiaoshu drooped his head and remained silent, but pouted his lips with an expression of dissatisfaction.
Mr. Wu couldn't help being annoyed and funny. It seemed that no explicit hints would work with this little rogue apprentice, and he was too lazy to do Tai Chi with her because she wouldn't answer at all! Still straight to the point!
Thinking of this, Mr. Wu sneered, and said with a downcast face: "Bitengshan people, you are amazing! He became famous and made a lot of money, even the master doesn't recognize him!"
Lu Xiaoshu immediately turned pale.
Mr. Wu glared at her and said angrily: "Don't tell me you don't know who the Bitengshan people are! Hmph, I know exactly what techniques and styles the apprentices I taught myself! Hmph, if it wasn't for this time I went out of the village occasionally Seeing it, I really can’t believe it! So my apprentice is so capable!”
"Master!" Lu Xiaoshu didn't dare to hide any more, so he ran over and tugged on Mr. Wu's sleeve and begged, "Master, this disciple is just a playful kid at the moment, and he doesn't know the importance of it, so he just did it! But , no one knows it's me, no one really knows!"
"You are so young, but you are quite courageous! You are so nonsense!" Mr. Wu couldn't help sighing, looking at Lu Xiaoshu, feeling a little helpless as to what to do with her.
What kind of person from Biteng Mountain, what kind of hermit, what kind of mysterious old man with gray beard, thanks to her, she can figure it out!
"Do you know what kind of trouble will happen if the truth of this matter is found out!" Mr. Wu sighed softly.
Lu Xiaoshu was not convinced: "If you are unlucky and you are discovered, you will be discovered. It's okay! Can't women be able to paint? Do women deserve to die if they are good at painting?"
Mr. Wu looked at her and said, "Where did you come to be unconvinced? Did your teacher say that! This is not a matter of women or women! The Lin Family Jinshizhai will not let you go!"
Lu Xiaoshu was stunned, and immediately understood what Mr. Wu meant.
That's right, she has always been in contact with Jinshizhai of the Lin family as the spokesperson of Bitengshanren. According to her dictation, Bitengshanren is a white-bearded hermit who is refined from the world. The Lin Family Jinshizhai really spared no effort in its publicity to the outside world!
If one day my identity is exposed. Well, the person from Bitengshan is himself, and he is from Bitengshan. Isn't this the same as playing with Jinshizhai, the Lin family? They are bound to become the laughing stock of the world, when the time comes, how can they easily spare themselves? Maybe even the family members will be implicated!
At that time, no matter how good my painting is, how many people will still be willing to collect it? One is that he and the Lin Family Jinshizhai both prospered and suffered a loss, and they became a laughing stock, and he was not much better; second, that he told such a big lie, wouldn't those old masters and old scholars become angry? They have lost all face, are they afraid that they will be deeply hurt when they see their paintings? San Lai, how can they feel at ease when a little girl of her age has painted a level of painting that many literati can't reach in their lifetime
So, what Master said was right, this time she really played too big!
"Master won't, won't!" Lu Xiaoshu hurriedly said: "I've been very careful, really! Besides, I haven't sold too many..."
Sell too many and it won't be worth much. Rare things are precious!
Mr. Wu snorted and said, "Naturally, if you sell too much, it won't be worth much! What kind of heart do you have, you little girl, to dare to come here to make trouble in front of the teacher?"
Lu Xiaoshu had no choice but to shrink his head and not make a sound.
Before Mr. Wu could speak for a while, Lu Xiaoshu raised his eyelids and said cautiously: "Master... have you calmed down? I promise you will be careful! Besides, I didn't embarrass you, Master!"
When Mr. Wu heard that she hadn't repented, it was obvious that she had no intention of stopping. He was so angry that he scolded: "You are getting more and more involved! From today onwards, no more paintings are allowed to be sold, do you hear me?" ?”
"Master..." Lu Xiaoshu felt blood dripping from his heart, and looked at Mr. Wu wistfully and pitifully. Mr. Wu stared back at her unceremoniously, and said, "Did you hear that?"
Lu Xiaoshu had no choice but to sigh and nod his head: "Yes, I heard, I heard! From now on, the Bi Tengshan people will seal the pen!"
When Mr. Wu heard her say this again, he couldn't help but get angry, and stared at her with a "puchi" burst out laughing, shaking his head and sighing.
Seeing him laughing, Lu Xiaoshu laughed too, hurriedly salivating on his face, pulled Mr. Wu's sleeve and shook it coquettishly, "Master, master, I signed a contract with Jinshizhai, and I still owe three or four paintings. ! Otherwise, can I seal the pen after I finish the painting?"
"No way!" Mr. Wu still doesn't know about her character that pushes every inch of her life? He refused without hesitation: "Don't even think about it! I said girl, don't play tricks in front of the master, this matter is settled like this!" After speaking, he looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "You are deceiving people! The ability is not small, I don't care how you explain to Jinshizhai!"
The corner of Lu Xiaoshu's mouth couldn't help twitching, secretly thinking that Master is not kind! But she didn't have the guts to provoke the unkind master, so she had to accept it completely.
Having lost his money, Lu Xiaoshu was depressed for several days, and he was also depressed for several days after Lin Fang followed him.
After an autumn rain, the weather gradually turned cooler, and the sun was still clear and bright enough to dazzle the eyes, but after the autumn rain, the scorching heat of the summer heat has silently faded away, and I can no longer feel that exciting feeling. It's maddeningly hot.
