Chapter 653 Those who wish take the bait
Chapter 653 Those who wish take the bait
Ye Lan was helpless.
Since she woke up, she has been busy dealing with the "Hundred Demons Book". Not to mention that she has not seen many old acquaintances, let alone notified them when something happened.
But she still nodded and promised: "Definitely next time."
So Xie Chenan raised his eyebrows and smiled with satisfaction.
Next, everyone saw that the head of the Qing Xuan Sect, who was now in the limelight and was known as the 'Jade-faced Prince', acted as Ye Lan's younger brother, serving tea and water, moving tables and stools, and was so diligent that even Wu Heng could not help him. Get involved.
Therefore, like Xiao Yunting, he could only put aside and play the role of door god.
People around started talking again.
"What is Master Ye's background? That even the head of the Qing Xuan Sect treats her so well?"
"Maybe he also likes her, right? But there are quite a few beauties who flock to Qing Xuanzong every year."
"Then who knows? Haven't you seen the richest man standing aside?"
……
While whispering, Qu Yueqing, who was standing aside, clenched her fists and accidentally scratched Zheng Meiyi's arm with her nails.
Zheng Meiyi took a breath and saw some sympathy on her face and said: "Yueqing, cheer up, you are the real fiancée now, and the young lady of the Xiao family recognized by everyone. A monk like this, regardless of his family background, will show up in public. Everything is inferior to you, Mr. Xiao is just a novelty at most, there is no need for you to take her to heart."
Qu Yueqing was like a drowning person at this moment, her heart was in a state of confusion. When she suddenly heard these words, it was like grabbing a piece of driftwood. She couldn't help but nodded, "Well, you're right."
Although the Qu family is not a top wealthy family, it is also a scholarly family.
The upper class circles are all about family status, and people like Xiao Yunting should pay more attention to it.
So they didn't get together in the first place, and they won't be together now.
She subconsciously ignored Xiao Yunting's look at Ye Lan and comforted herself in her heart.
On the other side, Ye Lan had already set up the drawing board and started drawing with a brush.
When some of the famous ladies around saw this, they immediately couldn't help covering their mouths and started laughing.
"Painting with watercolors using a brush is also a talent."
"If you don't know how to draw, why don't you ask someone else to draw? Why do you think you can do it yourself? You don't want to get all the limelight. Oh my, all my precious time is wasted here watching her performance."
……
Jealousy exists between people of the same sex.
Especially when a person is standing in front of you and everything is too good, you will often feel unbalanced and want to find fault.
Many people thought it was a joke when Ye Lan used Uncle Zheng's precious Big Wolf Howl to dip it into watercolors.
Xie Chen'an was very unhappy after hearing this. Just when he was about to tell those bastards to shut up, he saw that the prototype had already appeared on the paper. This picture made him raise his eyebrows and his expression suddenly became a little interested.
The painting took only three to five minutes to complete.
"Hang it up when the paint is dry." Ye Lan put down the wolf brush and praised Uncle Zheng, "This is a good deal."
Uncle Zheng didn't feel that the pen was wasted at all, and said cheerfully: "Master Ye, just like it. I have a lot of them in my study. I will give you some as a gift."
Zheng Meiyi, who was not far away, snorted when she heard this.
She had loved painting since she was a child, but she begged her grandfather many times but failed to get the collection in the study. Unexpectedly, Ye Lan, a half-hearted person, asked for several of them at the first opening.
As her jealousy boiled over, she became even more disdainful of what Ye Lan had drawn. She tilted her head and bit her ear with Qu Yueqing, "Just wait and see, it will definitely make people laugh when I hang it up later."
Qu Yueqing's face was calm, but there was also expectation in her eyes.
Soon, Wu Heng and Xie Chenan dried the rice paper one by one.
The two found a place and hung the painting up on tiptoe.
Everyone looked up and were shocked when they saw the picture on the paper.
The rice paper is five meters long and about two meters wide. It is irregularly sprinkled with large areas of bright colors. The haphazard strokes of the wolf's brush strokes reveal a vague outline. It turns out to be a distant mountain and green water in a light mist, with hundreds of birds facing the phoenix.
The water is turquoise, the mountain walls are steep, and the spring scenery cannot be concealed on both sides. Under the leisurely blue sky, hundreds of birds leave their nests and fly around a nine-tailed phoenix.
The whole body of the phoenix is colorful and gorgeous, and the long white feathers on its tail flutter in the wind. It is very beautiful. Although the painting is not very detailed, it is hidden in the scenery of this Jiangnan water town and it makes people stunned.
Only then did everyone realize why the girl had to use wolf brushes and watercolors. They also knew that it was definitely not a skill to paint a five-meter-long painting of this level in such a short period of time.
As a lover of calligraphy and painting, Uncle Zheng exclaimed: "Master Ye, I didn't expect you to be a great painter. You really hide your secrets."
Hearing this, Ye Lan wiped his hands and said calmly, "Thank you."
In fact, she didn't like to write or write, but as the head of Xuanzong, the elders felt that her drawing of spells should not be too ugly, so they forced her to learn it since she was a child.
Compared with delicate charms, simple paintings of landscapes and figures have become a way to relieve stress.
The rich and famous ladies who had just mocked him had already shut up and stood silently in embarrassment.
After the paint dries, the colors of the painting become more vivid and vivid, which is much more eye-catching than the old, simple and somewhat oxidized cultural relics.
Ye Lan asked people to bring chairs, sat around in front of the painting and started waiting.
Uncle Zheng also asked someone to serve tea.
Liu Zhixiong was greedy for life and fearful of death, so he sat closely behind Ye Lan, not forgetting to wonder: "Master Ye, what is this painting of yours for? Can we wait for the spirit spirit here?"
"It's almost the same." Ye Lan didn't lower his voice deliberately, and took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Except for the three-color horse, which is particularly bright in color, the surrounding cultural relics are eclipsed. It's not because of the good craftsmanship, but because of its plunder. It’s so colorful. Seeing how it struggled in the formation just now and couldn’t bear to let go of the fallen flowers at its feet, it must be someone who loves beauty.”
"Now, it depends on whether the willing one takes the bait."
Liu Zhixiong was dumbfounded when he heard this. He touched his big belly and said, "Oh my god, this is the first time I heard that these things are pretty stinky. So what did it do to Uncle Zheng before?"
Uncle Zheng is a bad old man. Even if he was a handsome boy when he was young, he is now old and bloated.
"To keep the colors bright, in addition to robbing other people's colors, vitality is also an excellent tonic, just like you rich people like to eat placenta. But what you eat is garbage, it is 100% effective."
Liu Zhixiong was made to laugh twice by Ye Lan's analogy. He touched his nose and decided not to eat the damn placenta again.
A group of people are waiting here, waiting for a weapon spirit that can't help but run back. This sounds a bit funny.
But Ye Lan, who is well versed in the nature of weapon spirits, is very patient.
Half a cup of tea passed, and just when everyone thought they would be in vain this time, a figure suddenly rushed out from the corner.
Although the opponent was in human form, he was now on all fours in order to run faster, jumping up the wall in an animal-like manner, reaching out to reach the painting.
At the same time, Wu Heng and Xie Chenan took action together, fighting each other in the air.
Although both of them were not weak in strength, they were still far behind Yuan Dan Ti. After a stalemate for a while, they were both repulsed.
The other party grabbed the painting, took a deep breath greedily, and sucked up all the colors on it.
