"You only have one pair, where is the other one?"
Chunxiao was completely confused. "There's another one?" She was puzzled.
"You have two boys, so naturally you need two paintings. If you send me one painting and pack 10 students, I will accept ten. That's unreasonable. I am very satisfied with your painting today. Can you send one person first?"
Chunxiao saw how serious he was, and she almost vomited blood. No wonder others said it was difficult to get into this academy. It seemed that it was indeed tricky. It was already a great luck for her to get such a painting. If it happened again, she herself would not believe it.
Shuwen, who was standing next to him, was also feeling very emotional. Wasn't this curator trying to make things difficult for him? His mood was really up and down today. What was his aunt supposed to do?
Chunxiao was so angry at the moment that she had no place to vent. What could she do? The academy belonged to someone else, and they didn't ask for money, they just wanted paintings. If you want to get in, then work hard, if you don't want to get in, then just make a scene. But now that one person has gotten in, if Xiaoqi gets in but Wuzhong isn't, Wang Shi won't say anything, but she will feel bad about it. But if she is asked to look for paintings again, she doesn't know how long it will take before she can find such luck again.
Zhuang Yan looked at the two of them with uncertain expressions and said, "If there is no second painting, then don't worry. You can take your time to look for it. You can also send one over first. I always keep my word."
"You said that as long as the painting pleases you, it's fine. It doesn't matter whether it's famous or not, right?"
Zhuang Yan nodded affirmatively, "Yes." But generally speaking, it is difficult for him to be interested in paintings other than those by famous artists, unless the paintings are extremely talented. Then he is sure that even if the paintings he values have not achieved success now, they will achieve success in the future.
Chun Xiao risked her life, "Okay, then I'll draw a portrait for you on the spot and you can take a look at it, how about that?" She was also pressed into a corner. Although her paintings were far inferior to those of modern professionals, there were no sketch portraits in ancient times. Even if her skills were average, she had practiced. Now she could only take shortcuts, in case she could get away with it.
Zhuang Yan hadn't expected her to paint on the spot. "Girl, are you also a master?"
Chun Xiao hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, "No, no, I'm just a peasant woman. I just had some free time and practiced a style of drawing people. I'm going to show you my work today. I wonder if it's okay with you."
The curator was surprised, but he still smiled and nodded. "I'll have someone get you some paper and ink."
"Director Zhuang, I can't paint with this brush. Can you ask the kitchen to find me some half-burned charcoal sticks?"
Zhuang Yan became curious about her paintings and quickly asked a handyman at the academy to prepare what she wanted. "Young lady, do you only paint portraits?"
"Not really, it's just that it's more convenient to draw people today." In fact, portraits can better reflect the similarity. She suddenly felt a little confident in her own painting. Isn't it just pleasing to the eye? It shouldn't be difficult to catch the eye of something she has never seen before.
When Shuwen heard Chunxiao wanted a portrait, he suddenly remembered the portraits he had found before. Oh, my aunt can paint, and those paintings are so unique and realistic. I really can give it a try. He was suddenly delighted.
