Chapter 612: Who made the little brother look so good?
When Xiao Tangbao arrived at Daliushu Village, she did not go home. Instead, she got off the carriage at the gate of the mansion, holding her precious root carving.
"elder brother!"
Xiao Tangbao's sweet voice made Xuanyuan Jin immediately put down the pen in his hand and go out to greet him.
"This is……"
Xuanyuan Jin looked at the root carving in Xiaotangbao's arms, a hint of surprise appeared on his little face.
"It looks good, right?" Little Tangbao showed off the root carving in his hand.
Xuanyuan Jin reached out and took the root carving.
"The wood is good, golden nanmu." Xuanyuan Jin said.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Is the wood the point?
"Brother, did you only see the wood?" Little Tangbao said seriously, as if he was disappointed with her. "You didn't see this crane... its feathers, its beak, its body shape, and oh, those long legs... Doesn't it look like Erhong?"
Xuanyuan Jin, "...Actually, among the two, three, four, and five reds, I still can't tell which one is the second red."
Little Tangbao, "...Okay, then take a look at these cranes. Do they look like two, three, four, five, red?"
"Yeah, it looks like it." Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Little Tangbao was satisfied.
Xuanyuan Jin took the root carving, admired it carefully, and finally uttered a few pertinent words.
“Perfectly lifelike!”
Little Tangbao raised his chin proudly.
"Right, this is art! Ordinary people can't do it!" said Xiao Tangbao arrogantly.
It seems like she did it.
Xuanyuan Jin said doubtfully, "You haven't found another master yet, wanting to learn carving, have you?"
After saying that, he frowned instinctively without waiting for Xiao Tangbao to answer.
He added, "It's too hard and too strenuous! You're just a little girl, you can't do it! Don't learn!"
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
This is a craft passed down from their ancestors. Even if you want to learn it yourself, they won’t teach you!
"Brother, since you don't let me learn, then I won't learn." Little Tangbao said very obediently.
No way, she wouldn't say that. No one taught her at all.
Xuanyuan Jin was very satisfied with Xiao Tangbao's attitude.
He reached out and touched Xiao Tangbao's head and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it for you."
Little Tangbao shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, I'm losing weight, don't always ask me to eat when we meet!"
If this continues, wouldn’t her weight loss be in vain?
"You're still young, and you look good when you're chubby." Xuanyuan Jin said, "If you really want to lose weight, you have to wait until you're older... Forget it, there's no need to lose weight when you're older. Even if you're fatter, you'll definitely be able to get married."
How could it be possible that his sister couldn't get married?
If it wasn't there, several door sills would be broken by being stepped on.
After hearing what Xuanyuan Jin said, Xiao Tangbao was very upset.
This is too far-reaching.
"Brother, it was you who disliked my fatness. It was you who always called me a little fat pig." Little Tangbao complained.
Xuanyuan Jin, "...I told you, I was just teasing you, I take it back."
"It's too late! This is my second day on the diet!" Little Tangbao said passionately, "I have to stick to it for at least three days!"
Xuanyuan Jin, "..."
He worried for nothing.
Xiao Tangbao pointed at the root carving in Xuanyuan Jin's hand and got back to the topic.
"Brother, let's send someone to deliver this thing to your father." Little Tangbao said excitedly.
There was a calculating glint in his big eyes.
"You..." Xuanyuan Jin looked at Xiao Tangbao hesitantly.
The little girl first said she wanted to give her father hair growth cream and health pills, and now she wants to give him a root carving...
Xuanyuan Jin was a little jealous of this flattery.
"Oh, right! And the calligraphy and paintings I wrote." Little Tangbao seemed to remember something, slapped his forehead, and his big eyes brightened.
Xuanyuan Jin, "..."
The little girl must be up to something!
After Xiao Tangbao finished speaking, he ran to the desk and took out a large pile of calligraphy and paintings from a drawer on the side.
They are called calligraphy and paintings, but in fact most of them are just the random scribbles of little Tangbao.
Most of them are cartoon animals or some cartoon characters.
Among them, the prototypes of the comic characters are mostly Xuanyuan Jin.
Of course, there are also some cartoon portraits of Xuanyuan Jin.
There's nothing I can do about it, since the little brother is so handsome.
I just don’t know what expression the emperor would have when he saw the cartoon portrait of his son.
Little Tangbao tried hard to flip through the pages and found that he was not doing his job properly.
It has been more than half a year, and I haven't painted many serious calligraphy or paintings.
but--
"Brother, please send these calligraphy and paintings you copied to your father."
Xiao Tangbao immediately set his sights on Xuanyuan Jin.
Anyway, the little brother draws better than me and writes better than me.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but ask.
Little Tangbao giggled, blinked his bright eyes, and said, "Brother, I just wanted to ask your father for some advice. If he thinks it's good, he can give it a thumbs-up or something..."
Once the emperor’s seal is stamped on your achievement, it’s like soaring to the sky.
Calligraphy and paintings are not valuable, but the emperor’s seal is valuable!
Anyway, it's all to fool the foreigners.
With the seal of the emperor of the mysterious ancient oriental country, this gimmick must be too big!
Xuanyuan Jin, "..."
Still don’t understand.
He could never have imagined that Xiao Tangbao would set his sights on Emperor Tianxi when doing business.
Although Xuanyuan Jin didn't understand what Xiao Tangbao meant, he instinctively didn't stop Xiao Tangbao.
Moreover, he didn't want to say it, but he really wanted his father to see his handwriting and paintings.
Xuanyuan Jin also has this desire to gain recognition and praise from his parents.
He wanted his father to see his progress and wanted to get his praise...
Who knows, my father might even show it to my mother...
"Also, brother, how much high-quality Xuan paper and fine Hui ink do you have here?" asked Xiao Tangbao.
Although my third brother said he would buy it, it will take time for him to do so, so I'd better borrow some from him first.
What's more, even in the county town, you can't buy the best Xuan paper and Hui ink.
Since it is for the master, I naturally have to use the best.
After all, compared to his own and his younger brother's calligraphy and paintings, the ones that really hold weight are his master's.
Only Master’s paintings can truly reflect the mysterious culture of this ancient oriental country.
After listening to Xiao Tangbao's words, Xuanyuan Jin directly opened the bookcase next to him.
"How much do you want? I need more Xuan paper, but I don't have much Hui ink left."
After saying that, he took out a stack of rice paper from the cabinet.
He then took out a wooden box from the drawer next to him, revealing several pieces of Hui ink inside.
“Enough, enough…”
Little Tangbao said this with a smile, and took the rice paper and the wooden box into his arms without any hesitation.
"Brother, I'll send it to Master. When Master finishes, we'll send someone to deliver it to your father." Little Tangbao said shrewdly, "Your father will definitely put his seal on these calligraphy and paintings because of the hair growth cream and health pills with Ganoderma lucidum I sent him, right? Oh, and he will definitely put this root carving I gave him as a gift in front of the imperial desk for a few days, right?"
When Xiao Tangbao finished speaking, he suddenly became a little uncertain.
"Right, brother?"
Xiao Tangbao sought affirmation from Xuanyuan Jin.
