Yuan Yun looked at Zhao Cheng with suspicion, not understanding why Zhao Cheng was bothered by this matter.
Cheng Xu followed Zhao Cheng's words and said, "Not only that, Master Tu also has several lovers in Yanchuan City, and Zhu Shan knows about these things as well."
Zhao Cheng asked, "You mean... Master Tu is very lecherous?"
Cheng Xu thought to himself, "Can anyone be more lecherous than you?" But he said aloud, "Zhu Shan often criticizes him behind his back, saying that he travels around and leaves a trail of broken hearts everywhere. This time when he came to Yanchuan City, Zhu Shan also complained to my face."
"What did Zhu Shan say?"
"She said that Tu Wanhu is fickle and doesn't even bother to find her when he comes to Yanchuan City. Instead, he goes to find other little vixens first. That damned bastard deserves..."
"Enough, enough, enough! It sounds like a shrew yelling in the street, it's so offensive!"
Zhao Cheng walked out of the pavilion and said, "Ayun, you two continue chatting, I'm going out!"
Yuan Yun asked doubtfully, "Are you alright?"
"It's okay, I'll tell you when I get back!"
"Young Prime Minister, please wait!" Cheng Xu caught up with Zhao Cheng, whispered something in his ear, and finally said, "I don't know if this information will be of any use..."
Zhao Cheng pointed at Cheng Xu and laughed, "Well done, I'll remember you."
After speaking, Zhao Cheng took Zhao Wu and hurriedly left the Right Prime Minister's residence.
How could nothing be wrong? Everyone knows Master Tu is a lecherous old man, how could nothing be wrong!
"Fei'er, you have to hold on!" Zhao Cheng silently prayed to himself.
Zhao Wu asked, "Does Master need a carriage?"
"don't want!"
Zhao Cheng paused for a moment, then said, "I need a horse! Bring a horse here, one that runs fast!"
...
Chen Feier and Tu Wanhu have had a very happy time together these past two days.
Chen Feier learned a lot from Tu Wanhu about painting techniques and insights, and benefited greatly from it. She felt more and more that Tu Wanhu was a genius in the field of painting.
The two were still somewhat reluctant to leave the tavern, so Tu Wanhu offered to escort Chen Feier on her way. Chen Feier did not refuse, and the two headed south of the city.
"Master Tu, you have taught me so much, I really don't know how to repay you!"
"It would be too formal to talk about repaying."
Tu Wanhu was tall and slender, with his hands behind his back, resembling a moving bamboo pole.
He smiled and said, "A piece of raw jade is certainly more beautiful after it has been carved, but first of all, it must be raw jade. Its inner essence is crystal clear. Miss Fei'er, you are just like this piece of raw jade, beautiful beyond compare."
Chen Feier covered her mouth and laughed, "Those who know will understand that you are praising my painting skills, but those who don't will think you are praising my appearance."
Tu Wanhu said, "It's a compliment to the painting skills, but also to the appearance."
Chen Feier paused for a moment, turned her face away, and said, "Master is joking."
"Li Guanyu's assessment of Yan Chuan City as the most beautiful woman is the most accurate I've ever heard!"
Chen Feier blushed and looked a little flustered.
Tu Wanhu caught up with her and said, "Miss Fei'er, I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that a good painter must have a pair of eyes that can distinguish beauty."
“I understand that.” Chen Feier nodded and said, “In that painting of the princess, the master focused his brushwork on the princess’s eyes. Indeed, the princess’s eyes are her most beautiful feature.”
Tu Wanhu said, "I'll paint a picture of you, and the result might not be any worse than the princess's portrait. Miss Fei'er, do you know where your most beautiful feature is?"
Chen Feier shook her head, her voice turning colder, and said, "Master Tu, let's not talk about these things anymore. I'm not interested in anything outside of painting."
"We can talk about beauty and ugliness, which is essentially talking about painting..."
Seeing Chen Feier's somewhat impatient expression, Tu Wanhu immediately changed the subject, saying, "Alright, alright, let's talk about something else then. Miss Feier just said I've taught you a lot, but that's not entirely true. Painting can never remain solely in theory; it requires practice, and even more so, perception. If you follow my methods, you'll see a significant improvement."
Chen Feier asked, "Does Master mean... that you can take me as your disciple and let me learn from you?"
Tu Wanhu waved his hand and laughed, "No need! Miss Fei'er is exceptionally talented and has developed her own style. If she were to become my student, she would only be distracted. My suggestion is that you should travel around like me, see the beautiful landscapes with your own eyes, and feel the joys and sorrows of the world with your heart. Only through such experiences will your paintings have a soul. This is what I mean by needing practice, but even more so, needing perception."
"Of course, you're still young, and a young girl. You probably haven't traveled far before. Going out suddenly without a route would just waste a lot of time."
Seeing that Chen Feier was listening attentively, Tu Wanhu pretended to think for a moment and then said, "After I leave Yanchuan City, I will soon be traveling again. If you want to go, I can take you with me. Then we won't just be talking about theories, but we can practice together, paint together, and experience the beauty of this world together!"
Tu Wanhu spread his arms wide towards the small river by the roadside and said loudly, "Miss Fei'er, what do you think?"
Chen Feier bit her lip. She didn't lie to herself; to be honest, she was quite tempted.
I'm still young and haven't seen enough of the world. It's not good to stay at home all day and just draw.
To broaden her horizons and experience the world was something she had always wanted to do.
but……
Do I really have to go out with him?
Chen Feier thought for a moment and said, "Master, going on a long trip is no small matter. I will give you an answer after I have thought it through."
Tu Wanhu nodded and said, "No rush. I can stay in Yanchuan City for a few more days for your sake. I will leave when you give me your answer."
Chen Feier hummed in agreement. Seeing that the road ahead was getting closer and closer to the bookstore, she stopped and said, "Master, please stop here."
