Chapter 281: Accidentally Recognized a Master
As soon as Xiao Tangbao finished speaking, Yu Zhilan and Liu Juren arrived.
Behind the two of them were Da Pan, Er Pan and Su Chengyao.
Today, Da Pan, Wang Lai and others are still taking classes in the thatched cottage.
So after school at Caotang, I followed the two teachers here.
"Congratulations, General Yang, on having a granddaughter."
Yu Zhilan congratulated the old general with a smile on her face.
The old general laughed heartily, held out his hand, and said, "Where's the gift? Bring it here!"
Yu Zhilan, “…”
Who would ask for a gift?
Moreover, he came empty-handed.
The old general seemed to have expected that Yu Zhilan had not prepared any gift.
"Since there is no gift, then let's paint a picture, no, two pictures, that's right! Two pictures! Let's use two sets of calligraphy and paintings instead." The old general said loudly.
Yu Zhilan was a little dumbfounded.
Where did these bandits come from?
The old general didn't care what Yu Zhilan thought and pointed at Xiao Tangbao and Xuanyuan Jin.
"See? This is my granddaughter, and this is my grandson. Draw a picture of them playing together, and then draw a picture of the three of us..."
One is a picture of two childhood sweethearts, the other is a picture of a couple playing with their grandchildren.
The more the old general thought about it, the more perfect it seemed.
Yu Zhilan smiled bitterly and said, "Old General, you really are...ruthless."
In addition to studying hard since childhood, he also studied painting.
Although his calligraphy and paintings are not worth a fortune, not everyone is lucky enough to get them.
Little Tangbao blinked curiously.
"It turns out that Uncle Fox can draw." Little Tangbao said in a tender voice.
Yu Zhilan's mouth twitched.
It seems that the little girl will keep calling him "Uncle Fox".
How can I make the little girl stop screaming?
The little girl who is spoiled by so many people cannot be hit or scolded.
She kept yelling, and there was nothing she could do...
"Little girl, do you want to learn to paint?"
Yu Zhilan gave Xiao Tangbao a fox-like smile.
Little Tangbao shook his head.
"In no mood."
She is afraid of being tired.
Besides, learning to paint is a waste of time.
She hasn't turned the wood into paper yet; buying paper is too expensive.
Yu Zhilan, “…”
"Do you know how many famous ladies in the capital want to learn painting from me?" Yu Zhilan said in a tone of disappointment.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Think about it.
In fact, she could also learn to paint while trying to make paper...
Anyway, the fragments in her hand contained detailed recipes for papermaking.
"Okay, since you want me to be your disciple so much, then I will." Little Tangbao said very considerately: "Master."
Yu Zhilan, “…”
This is too casual.
But at least I don’t call him Uncle Fox anymore.
No! Why does it seem like I was begging the little girl to do this?
"Little girl, you don't think I'm begging you, do you?" Yu Zhilan asked doubtfully.
"Isn't it, Master?"
Little Tangbao blinked his innocent big eyes and looked at Yu Zhilan curiously.
Yu Zhilan, “…”
Look at other people.
Others also expressed the same meaning with their eyes.
——Isn’t it?
Yu Zhilan, “…”
Will you still accept this apprentice?
"Do you know how many people in this world are crying and begging to become my disciples?" Yu Zhilan said, holding her breath.
He decided to find a way to save face, otherwise he would seem so cheap.
Before anyone else could speak, the old general looked at Yu Zhilan with disdain.
"Then do you know how many people in this world are crying and begging to be my granddaughter?" the old general asked.
Yu Zhilan, “…”
A stagnation.
Then I sadly discovered that there were definitely more people who wanted to be the old general's granddaughter than those who wanted to be his apprentice.
After all, the old general is the emperor's father-in-law.
"Be content!" The old general patted Yu Zhilan on the shoulder and said, "I recognize Fu Ya as my granddaughter, but I have to wait in line, add another one, and help fight the bad guys..."
Plus cheating!
The old general was too embarrassed to say this.
But looking at Yu Zhilan's expression, she looked like she had gotten a great bargain.
Yu Zhilan, “…”
That seems to be the case...
I feel like I got a great bargain...
"Okay, the apprentice has accepted it. As a master, you can't be too stingy. Where is the gift for the apprentice?"
The old general opened his mouth again to ask for gifts without any hesitation.
This time I’m asking for it on behalf of little Tangbao.
Yu Zhilan, "...I will naturally give you a gift later."
Even though he knew he came empty-handed today, he still kept asking for gifts.
Why is this mighty general so shameless?
"That won't do! Don't think you can just dismiss my granddaughter." The old general glared and said, "I heard you have a picture of a hundred flowers celebrating a birthday. It's the most vivid, with all kinds of flowers and grasses on it. The little girls will definitely like it. Let's go with that picture."
Yu Zhilan, “…”
"That is the peerless masterpiece of Mr. Daoming, a great calligrapher and painter of the previous dynasty!" Yu Zhilan exclaimed in disbelief.
He had gone through untold hardships and almost lost everything he had to get it!
It's his most precious treasure!
Yu Zhilan could no longer maintain her gentle and elegant expression.
The painting of flowers celebrating birthdays originated from a story.
It is said that it was a wise ruler who worked hard to govern the country and made the people live and work in peace and contentment.
In gratitude for his achievements, the heavens ordered all flowers to bloom together on his birthday to celebrate his birthday...
After hearing what Yu Zhilan said, the old general said as a matter of course: "That's why I can make do with it and give it to my granddaughter as a gift."
Yu Zhilan, “…”
I felt like there was a mouthful of blood stuck in my chest.
"Hey! Master Yu, you are not so stingy and reluctant to give it up, right?" the old general asked doubtfully.
Yu Zhilan, "...How could that be? As your master, I naturally wouldn't be reluctant..."
Yu Zhilan gritted her teeth, the blood stuck in her chest dripping down drop by drop...
"Hahaha...that's good..." The old general achieved his goal and laughed out loud.
Then, he looked at Little Tangbao and said, "My dear granddaughter, remember, the painting of flowers celebrating birthdays in your master's hand is yours. Remember to ask him for it..."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Her cheap master's heart was obviously bleeding.
Does she have the nerve to ask for it?
Could it be that... that painting is very valuable?
"You, as a grandfather, have given my apprentice another gift. What gift?" Yu Zhilan countered, saying, "It is said that the world-famous Hundred Fruit Mountain is part of the General's Mansion. Let's take it."
Baiguo Mountain is located in the suburbs of Beijing.
The mountain is full of various fruit trees.
Perhaps because of the soil, the fruit trees on Baiguo Mountain grow particularly well, and the fruits are sweet and large.
Most of the fruits consumed in the imperial palace and wealthy families in the capital were produced on Baiguo Mountain.
As a result, the fruits produced on Baiguo Mountain are very expensive.
Therefore, Baiguo Mountain’s profits are quite substantial.
Now, when Yu Zhilan asked the old general for Baiguo Mountain, it was like asking for a lot of silver.
After hearing what Yu Zhilan said, the old general not only did not show any expression of heartache, but instead his face was full of pride.
"Hahaha... you do have some good taste, but I'm not like you, waiting for others to help me beg for it." The old general laughed and said, "I originally gave Baiguo Mountain to Fu Ya."
Yu Zhilan was shocked.
He was just talking casually.
I didn't expect that they had already sent it.
In comparison, as a master, I seem to be a little stingy.
Little Tangbao never expected that his godfather would give him a mountain as a gift.
No wonder the gift box was so light, it turned out that it contained the title deed.
Little Tangbao didn't know that there was not only the title deed inside, but also other surprising things.
