Chapter 86 Chapter 86 2nd update

Zhou Pingan suddenly choked, then started coughing violently, his whole face red, and he kept saying while coughing: "I, cough, I think, cough, I think."

Liu Guizhi was stunned for a moment, and slapped her son a few times: "Why are you in such a hurry? Take a deep breath before you talk." Zhou Pingan

took a few deep breaths, suppressed the itchiness in his throat and said loudly: "Uncle Shen, I am willing, I want to learn painting from you!"

Liu Guizhi looked at Shen Moer at a loss. She had asked Shen Moer before, wanting to get her son an apprenticeship in an embroidery factory, and she had also agreed to let Shen Moer teach her son to paint. Now her son suddenly said that he wanted to learn painting from Shen Shaoyuan. This, this seemed to show that they did not believe in their daughter's ability, Wanting to climb the ladder is like learning from your father.

Shen Moer didn't think it was a big deal. Her father didn't have much achievements in serious matters, but he was very talented in leisurely things such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In addition, he was born in a noble family. He had been learning from contemporary scholars or famous calligraphers and painters since he was a child. When he was older, he also interacted with literati with outstanding achievements in calligraphy and painting. Of course, his own level was actually not inferior to these people.

It was just because he was a prince and liked to cling to the emperor, so some self-righteous people looked down on his style. Otherwise, from the perspective of calligraphy and painting skills alone, her father could actually be called a famous artist in Daliang.

In the early days of Daliang, many people wanted to become his disciples, but her father never agreed. Her father always said that royal relatives like them usually feared complicated personal connections. The fact that

they, father and daughter, could always be favored by the emperor was actually related to the fact that their personal connections were extremely simple.

As a prince and a princess, they were not very close to their maternal family because their mother died early. The person they were closest to was the emperor himself. How could the emperor have any suspicion of such a person?

Who knew whether those who wanted to become his disciples came to learn painting or to Shen Shaoyuan's identity?

Shen Shaoyuan never mentioned it, and Shen Moer thought he didn't want to accept disciples. Unexpectedly, after coming to this world, her father took a fancy to Zhou Ping'an.

Shen Moer thought about it carefully, and felt that Zhou Pingan was more suitable to learn painting from her father. She only knew some painting techniques, which had the form but not the spirit. It was no problem for her to teach a child who had no painting foundation to draw embroidery patterns, but if she really wanted to master it, she couldn't teach him.

Zhou Pingan obviously really liked painting, so it was best for him to learn from Shen Shaoyuan.

Shen Moer patted Liu Guizhi on the shoulder: "It's good to learn from my father. Only by learning from my father can you learn real things."

Otherwise, how can we say that Zhou Pingan is suitable to learn from him? He can really see her father's level.

Liu Guizhi hesitated to speak. Of course, it would be good to learn painting from Shen Shaoyuan. In fact, according to Liu Guizhi's idea, it doesn't matter who the child learns painting from, as long as the child likes it.

However, Shen Moer agreed to give Zhou Pingan a chance to take the apprenticeship exam. If he follows Shen Shaoyuan, he will have to go to the countryside if he doesn't have a job in the future.

Shen Shaoyuan can see Liu Guizhi's thoughts: "Our factory has agreed to give me a quota for an apprenticeship. I can choose the candidate myself. The salary and benefits are the same as other apprentices in the factory. I can be transferred to a temporary worker after one year. Whether I can be transferred to a formal employee later depends on my ability."

Liu Guizhi slapped her thigh and said, "That's great!"

No matter whether he is an apprentice, a temporary worker or a formal worker, their family does not need Zhou Pingan's salary. As long as he can have a job, can support himself, and does not have to go to the countryside, Liu Guizhi is already satisfied.

Shen Shaoyuan: "Okay, wait for a day, why not come today? Bring your child tonight to become my disciple." This was

the first time in his life that Shen Shaoyuan wanted to accept a disciple, so he naturally would not be casual. If it were a cold day, he would have to have a complicated and grand ceremony to formally accept a disciple. Now that he is in this world, he will keep everything simple, but he still has to follow the necessary steps.

So that night, Zhou Ping'an brought the four gifts that Liu Guizhi had hastily prepared for him, and Liu Guizhi dragged Zhou Xingwang, who looked confused, to the Shen family to become their disciple.

Shen Shaoyuan had already brewed tea, and Shen Moer instructed Zhou Pingan to serve tea. Shen Shaoyuan drank the tea and handed Zhou Pingan a long wooden box: "Actually, propaganda paintings are not what I am good at. I am good at more traditional painting methods, painting with a brush. This is a brush, you keep it well, and you can use this brush to paint when you have learned something in the future."

After a pause, Shen Shaoyuan showed some disdain: "Before you learn, you can just buy one from the supply and marketing cooperative to use."

Zhou Pingan heard that this brush should be unusual, carefully held the wooden box, and solemnly answered yes. What he

was thinking in his heart was that those propaganda paintings outside were actually what his master was not good at. His master was not good at it, but he could still paint propaganda paintings so well, so how great it would be for him to paint what he was good at!

Shen Shaoyuan added: "I have a bad temper, and I don't have any other requirements for my disciples, the only thing is to be obedient."

Zhou Pingan immediately nodded heavily: "Master, I am very obedient."

Zhou Xingwang, who was standing aside and watching this scene, felt very complicated. His son suffered a lot when he was young, and he and his wife felt guilty about their child, so they had always been somewhat indulgent towards him.

This child is sensible, but he is definitely not obedient.

If he is not happy, he will not hear a word of what his father says.

From childhood to adulthood, how could this kid be so humble in front of Zhou Xingwang?

But on second thought, Zhou Xingwang quickly felt relieved. After all, there is someone who can control him, which is a good thing.

Zhou Xingwang thanked Shen Shaoyuan solemnly: "Brother Shaoyuan, thank you so much. Not only are you willing to teach my naughty son, but you also found him a job."

Shen Shaoyuan smiled: "Didn't he say that he is very obedient? Don't worry, if he doesn't listen, I won't teach him. As for the work, whether he can do it smoothly depends on his own ability. So, how much he can learn and whether he can get this job depends on himself."

Zhou Xingwang didn't expect Shen Shaoyuan to say this. After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head and laughed: "Okay, if he doesn't listen, don't teach him. It all depends on himself."

Zhou Ping'an carefully opened the thin wooden box after returning home. The box was made very delicately, but the wood was actually ordinary. However, the pens inside did look different from the bunches of pens tied with a rubber band in the supply and marketing cooperative.

But Zhou Ping'an had never seen a few brushes before, so he couldn't tell what was different about this brush.

Zhou Xingwang and Liu Guizhi were even more confused.

If you were to ask if the meat was good or the fish was fresh, Liu Guizhi could tell a thing or two, but if you were to ask if a pen was good or not, she would just say, "It's OK as long as it can be used, they all look the same."

Zhou Xingwang knew that there were good and bad pens, for example, different brands used different things. But when it came to brushes, he couldn't even write with a brush, so he had no idea if a brush was good or not.

Finally, the couple agreed: "Anyway, your master told you not to use it before you have learned enough, so just keep it."

Liu Guizhi directly gave Zhou Ping'an ten yuan and asked him to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some brushes, ink, drawing paper, etc.

Liu Guizhi was very happy that her son could find a job before graduation. Thinking that her son would be able to earn his own wages in the future, he probably wouldn't have to ask her for money. Liu Guizhi gave the money this time very readily and willingly.

Shen Shaoyuan drank a cup of tea, gave away a brush, and accepted an apprentice. After that, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued to read his comic strips.

He has recently become addicted to comic books, such as "Heroic Little Eighth Route Army Soldier", "Chicken Feather Letter", and "Railway Guerrillas", many of which were snatched from Xu Chang, Xu Wei's son in elementary school.

This child is just like his father, with a generous character. Since he once brought comic books to the kiln factory publicity office and was favored by Shen Shaoyuan, he has "lent" almost all the comic books in his collection to Shen Shaoyuan.

Fu Mingze is used to it now, probably because he was so poor that he almost starved to death in the past, and now his father-in-law has a kind of open-mindedness of taking things as they come, as if he doesn't care about anything... No, to be precise, it should be that except for his precious daughter, he doesn't care about anything else.

Even if he accepted an apprentice, it seemed like he really said that whether the apprentice could learn well or not was his own business, and he didn't worry about it at all.

In this regard, his wife was not much different. Although she was busy all day long, Fu Mingze always had a feeling that she seemed to be training soldiers for him to help her fight. When these soldiers were trained, she could live comfortably.

Fu Mingze knew the principle of seeing through but not speaking, but he had never discussed this issue with Shen Moer.

Shen Moer didn't know what Fu Mingze was thinking. Her father always did things according to his own happiness, and she never cared about him.

On Monday, Shen Moer went to school. Almost everyone in the school was talking about Teacher Feilin. On the way to the office, Shen Moer heard several students sighing, "Teacher Feilin looked gentle and kind, how could he be an enemy spy?"

Compared with the students, the office teachers who worked with him day and night were naturally more shocked, and their expressions were all in disbelief.

Kong Meijuan grabbed Shen Moer and almost screamed with her soul: "How could this happen? How could Teacher Fei be an enemy spy?!"

Without waiting for Shen Moer to reply, she continued to talk to herself: "Do you know that he was the one who reported the old technician in the textile factory? He learned erhu from an old teacher in the opera troupe. The old teacher's sister-in-law was the wife of the old technician in the textile factory who died early. It was through this relationship that he knew the relationship between the old technician and the Chao family. Then he accidentally found out that a batch of antique calligraphy and paintings left by the Chao family were in the hands of this family, so he asked Sun Yaozu to rob their house."

"That family is related to the wife of the youngest son of the Chao family. When the Chao family fled overseas, they could not take their calligraphy and paintings with them. The daughter-in-law of the Chao family was cautious and thought that the family was honest, so she entrusted the things to them."

Shen Moer did not expect the truth of the matter to be like this. The family was loyal to the trust, but they did not expect that this would bring disaster.

However, the commune police station and the commune revolutionary committee did a really poor job of keeping secrets. How come the twists and turns inside the arrest were leaked to the outside world within two days?

Kong Meijuan looked at Shen Moer with complicated eyes: "And what's more, didn't I pick up a piece of your waste manuscript paper that day? Actually, it wasn't you who dropped it, it was Teacher Fei, uh, no, it was Fei Lin who dropped it."

"He picked up all the waste manuscript papers you threw away. It is said that he had seen the costumes of the leading actors in the opera troupe and knew how precious those embroidery were. People 'outside' like this kind of inherited things the most, and he was going to steal the manuscript paper and buy it."

Shen Moer really found it unbelievable: "Those waste manuscript papers can be sold?"

These people "outside" have never seen good things.

Kong Meijuan: "It should be possible, otherwise he would steal something. However, it is said that he wanted to steal your finished manuscript at first, but you always carry your bag with you, and you carry manuscripts with you, so he couldn't find a chance and could only start with the scraps."

"Oh, I really didn't expect Teacher Fei to be such a person!"

Shen Moer twitched her lips and said sincerely: "Anyway, you are worthy of the name of a gossip bag."

Kong Meijuan: "..."
