The county magistrate stepped forward enthusiastically: "Master Xu, are you here to see Miss Wen? Come in quickly!"
Wen Jiafu also said enthusiastically: "Master Xu, please come in quickly. Master Xu wants to accept Sister Yu as his apprentice. We will bring Sister Yu to visit in person. How can I bother you to come to the door in person!"
Master Guo: "Master Xu, please come in quickly."
Xu Tingzhi was a little surprised how these people knew that they were looking for an apprentice, but he didn't think much about it. Finding an apprentice was important!
He softened his serious expression so as not to scare his apprentice.
After being greeted respectfully by several people, I walked in and was invited to be a guest.
Xu Tingzhi came to see his apprentice today and specially changed into a new robe. The black brocade robe occasionally shone with golden light in the sunlight. The dark patterns on the clothes revealed some totems of auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts, showing a low-key nobility.
Even the unsophisticated people in the village knew that this material was absolutely extraordinary!
He sat on the main seat with a naturally serious face, looked at the girls in the group of women, and frowned: There is no apprentice for him!
Xu Tingzhi looked at Aunt Yongfu: "Auntie, where is the girl you mentioned who is good at painting?"
"That's her!" Aunt Yongfu pointed at Wen Yu.
Xu Tingzhi's eyes fell on Wen Yu, and her serious face became more serious: "She?"
What a joke!
"Yes!" Aunt Yongfu nodded.
Wen Jiafu: "Sister Yu, hurry up and pay homage to the master!"
The county magistrate smiled and said, "Miss Wen was so happy when she saw Master Xu personally looking for her."
Little Zhu quickly pulled her little daughter, who was stunned, and said, "Sister Yu, why don't you go see Master Xu yet."
Wen Yu came back to her senses, feeling excited in her heart. She quickly walked to Master Xu and said, "Yu'er, I've seen you before, master."
Xu Tingzhi's expression was very serious, and his brows were knotted: "Wait a minute!"
Wen Yu's body stiffened.
Master Xu’s expression was very serious: “I can’t afford it!”
Wen Yu was half-way through her salute, then she knelt down and half-crouched. After hearing these words, her face turned pale!
Her body swayed.
Everyone didn't know why.
What does it mean to be unworthy
Xu Tingzhi stood up and walked to Aunt Yongfu: "Do you mean the girl with the best painting in Wenjia Village?"
"Yes!" Aunt Yongfu nodded.
"It's not her!" Xu Tingzhi's expression was very serious.
Master Guo was dumbfounded: Not her? !
What does this mean
The county magistrate was stunned: Not her
Wen Jiafu's face froze: What did Master Xu say? Not Sister Yu
Everyone fell silent.
Look at Master Xu.
Wen Yu clenched the handkerchief tightly, her face turned pale, her body swayed again, and she broke into a cold sweat: It's over!
"If it's not Sister Yu, who is it?" Aunt Yongfu asked the question in everyone's mind.
"I don't know her name. Anyway, she is not my apprentice. Is there another girl in Wenjia Village who is very good at painting?"
"No more! Except for the two daughters of the Wen family, the other girls in our village don't even know how to paint, not to mention painting? Sister Yu is the best girl in our village, and even in the entire town! Don't you believe me? Ask someone else.”
The people in the village quickly agreed: "Yes, Sister Yu is the only one in the whole village who can draw."
They are all mud-legged. They gave birth to a girl who can grow vegetables and catch insects, wash and cook, and draw. Don’t be kidding!
"It's not her! Could it be that you don't know?"
"How could I not know! Today, their family invited the whole village to have a feast. It was because Sister Yu was good at painting that she was noticed by Master Xu and wanted to accept her as his disciple! If you don't believe it, you Ask other girls if they know how to paint? Girls from our entire village are here."
As for the three Wen Nuan sisters, Aunt Yongfu simply ignored them. One of them had the lowest settlement in the village. One was bedridden every day, and the other two played a lot with mud. I'm afraid they haven't even scratched a brush. How could they possibly do such a high-level thing as painting? meeting!
"It's not Master Xu, it's Master Xu!" Someone in the village corrected Aunt Yongfu.
Everyone was confused.
Didn't it mean that Wen Yu became Master Xu's disciple and celebrated it specially
But now that Master Xu is here, why doesn't he seem to know Wen Yu and is looking for another girl who can draw
Are all the girls in the village here? Xu Tingzhi looked around for a week, his brows knotted in thousands of knots, his expression 100% serious!
No!
There is no apprentice of his here.
Doesn't his little apprentice live in Wenjia Village
That’s trouble!
The entire Ningyuan County is so big.
Xu Tingzhi looked disappointed: "Sorry to bother you! I'm looking in the wrong place."
After Xu Tingzhi finished speaking, he turned and left.
Master Guo was anxious, thinking that Xu Tingzhi had not recognized Wen Yu, and quickly reminded him: "Master Xu, Wen Yu's painting sold for a high price of one hundred and fifty taels at the auction. Master Xu, aren't you looking for an apprentice? Wen Yu The girl is very talented in calligraphy and painting! Aren’t you going to accept her as your disciple? Miss Wen Yu is a very talented child.”
After hearing this, Xu Tingzhi looked back at Wen Yu: "Her? She can't do it."
After Xu Tingzhi said that, he turned around and left.
"She can't do it." These three words made Wen Yu feel a wave of unknown emotions rushing into her mind. She said without thinking: "Master Xu, are you angry because I asked you to give up your seat that day? I can apologize. .”
Xu Tingzhi took two steps and then stopped, looking back at her: "No, it's your painting that doesn't work."
Painting, this word is full of Wen Yu's pride. This is a bargaining chip for her to think she is superior to others!
This is how she will fly onto the branches in the future!
But!
Master Xu said in front of a whole village that her painting was not good!
What does this make her look like
Moreover, today is to celebrate her becoming Master Xu’s apprentice, so I invited her as a guest!
Invite the whole village!
We also invited the county magistrate and some wealthy households in the town!
Unexpectedly, Master Xu really came, but instead of accepting her as his apprentice, he came to tell her that she was not good enough!
Her painting is not good!
She can't be his apprentice!
How could she, who had always had a strong sense of self-esteem and competitiveness, endure such embarrassment and humiliation!
But Wen Yu didn't dare to lose her temper and speak evil words to anyone. She suppressed the anger in her heart and asked: "Master Xu, my painting was sold at the auction for one hundred and fifty taels. Except for your works, no one can be better than mine. I dare to ask, where is my painting not good?"
Everyone in the village nodded.
One hundred and fifty taels per painting! A painting is equal to a big house!
If this kind of painting doesn't work, where can it not work
Master Guo and the county magistrate also looked at Master Xu.
A painting that can be sold for one hundred and fifty taels is definitely not bad!
Although it cannot be compared with the paintings of famous painters, it is definitely not bad!
And Wen Yu is only twelve years old!
A painting worth one hundred and fifty taels can be made at the age of twelve, what's wrong with that
Xu Tingzhi stopped again and looked back.
