Chapter 36 Painting

Suddenly, he had an idea, a proud evil smile appeared on his lips, and he turned to Pei Daozhu and said, "Sister, I have come up with a good idea. Do you want to hear it?"

"Think!" Pei Daozhu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded like garlic.

Pei Jingqian told him all about his plan. After hearing this, Pei Daozhu clapped his hands happily and gave him a thumbs up: "This idea is really wonderful. My brother is really a hundred times smarter than Zhuge Liang!"

Pei Jingqian felt greatly benefited from being praised so fiercely by his sister. He gently pinched her little face and said with a smile, "Did you steal some honey today? Why do you talk so sweetly?"

Pei Daozhu winked playfully and said, "I'm telling the truth. My brother is already very smart. Otherwise, how could he be admitted to Ziyang Academy with the first place?"

After saying that, she held his arm again and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother, I want to eat candied haws."

Pei Jingqian nodded her forehead and said with a smile: "Why do you keep praising me? You are greedy. Okay, okay, after this matter is done, my brother will go and give it to you."

If you buy candied haws, you can eat as many as you want!"

"Thank you, brother! Brother is the best!"

Pei Daozhu smiled so hard that his previous troubles and unhappiness had long been left behind in Java!

In Caiyun Courtyard, Chu Yingying and Cui Yunhao stayed in their rooms all day, living in seclusion. Except for greeting Pei Shibo and his aunt every morning, they rarely left the yard.

Various pigments are placed on the desk. Garcinia, rouge, madder, violet, cyanine, etc. have all been ground into powder, mixed evenly with water, and set aside for later use. There is also a jar of thick ink pigments for two brush washes.

Only one, and equipped with a row of brushes, a long-fronted sheep hair, a center-fronted wolf hair, and several fine purple hairs.

The brushwork is delicate and exquisite, the face is lifelike, the folds and textures of the clothes are all vivid, and the outlines and lines of the characters look so soft and graceful, so lifelike that it seems as if they are alive with just one breath.

Chu Yingying took out a scroll and Cui Yunhao took it with both hands and slowly spread it out on the desk.

"Wow, this painting is so beautiful. I didn't expect my sister to have such a great ability." Cui Yunhao looked at it and immediately showed an incredible expression and praised it.

Chu Yingying suddenly realized that she had spilled the beans, so she covered her mouth in time, swallowed back the rest of her words, and then secretly glanced at Cui Yunhao.

"I drew this last night. I haven't practiced it for a long time. My skills may be a little rusty. I'll give you a look first."

In the afternoon of this day, Chu Yingying had a whim and planned to teach Cui Yunhao how to draw.

The scroll depicts a woman, and is also inscribed with a poem "Shengchazi·Yuanxi" written by Ouyang Xiu, a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty: "On Yuan Dynasty last year, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day. On the willow branches in the moonlight, people made appointments after dusk. This year

On the Yuan night, the moon and the lights are still the same. I don’t see the people from last year, and my spring shirt sleeves are wet with tears.”

"Of course, your sister and I used to be a good painter! Even His Highness the Crown Prince was shocked when he saw my paintings."

Fortunately, Cui Yunhao didn't seem to pay much attention to what she said. He just stared at the painting, admiring it with wide eyes and letting out bursts of exclamations.

Chu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing his entranced look, some memories from her past could not help but be evoked in her mind.

In her previous life, Chu Yingying's family was poor and she never hired a famous painter to teach her how to paint. However, under her father's step-by-step guidance, she did have some basic knowledge and was able to master and apply basic painting techniques proficiently.

Later, by chance, she met the prince in the theater.
