"Don't be so modest. Your paintings are worth a fortune. Otherwise, someone would offer five thousand taels to buy them. I'm so lucky to have friends like you."
"Sister Li, what's your new painting method? Show me now."
"Okay, look carefully, don't blink, this is a super awesome picture of the mythical bird Phoenix."
Li Qingzhao picked up her brush and quickly painted on the rice paper. In less than a minute, she said, "It's done!"
The three of them hurried forward, and were stunned when they saw what was happening.
Zhao Yuannu's face turned pale. Is this all you show me?
"What mythical bird, the Phoenix? This is clearly a picture of a chicken eating rice. This childish handwriting is even worse than that of a three-year-old."
"Yes, yes, that's not very accurate." Li Qingzhao drew another halo around the chick's head and shamelessly said, "This is the divine bird."
"Ah!" With a thud, Zhao Yuannu knelt down and hugged his thighs.
"Sister Li, let's paint properly."
"Let go!"
"I won't. I'll let go if you draw me."
"Let go and I'll draw again."
…
"Sister Li, Sister Li, if you keep arguing like this, it will be dark soon. Where are the two paintings? Hurry up and finish them for Sister Zhao."
"Okay, okay, you only know how to scold me. After all, you are my little baby. Let's sleep together tonight."
"Well, a chicken eating rice doesn't count."
"Um?"
"No, that, the mythical bird Phoenix picture doesn't count."
"Sister Zhao, please be the nude model so I can draw a picture for you."
"Okay, no problem, whatever you want."
"Sister Zhao, tilt your head a little more to the left. Hey, hey, hey. Right, right, right."
"Lift your head up again. Okay, don't move."
......
After Zhao Yuannu got into position, Li Qingzhao stood in front of the table and started drawing on the paper with a pen in her hand.
Swish, swish, swish...
"Sister Zhao, please stop moving, or I'll draw the wrong spot. It'll only take half an incense stick of time, just bear with it and it will be over."
Swish, swish, swish...
After a while, a rough framework emerged.
Bai Qiannuo and Wang Yao quietly came behind Li Qingzhao and took a look.
They all gasped at the same time, their eyes widening like bells.
"Okay, the painting is done."
Zhao Yuannu hurried over, got close, and joined the shocked group, muttering, "Is this me? So beautiful!"
The more Zhao Yuannu looked at the painting, the more he liked it. His hands were shaking, and he looked at Li Qingzhao with grievance: "Five thousand taels of silver don't seem so attractive anymore."
"Is this the new painting method? It's really surprising."
"This is a three-dimensional sketch. The key is to make it look lifelike."
"Sister Li, can you teach me?"
"No problem, but I also want to ask the official's opinion. How about you come with me to listen to the official's lecture tomorrow?"
Bai Qiannuo and Wang Yao heard this and asked, "Is it okay?"
"Of course." Li Qingzhao agreed readily.
There are official lectures, but the content has tiny deviations.
