Chapter 26 [His Hidden Aura]
Out of concern for the feeding officer, Jiang Lili asked, "Xiaopang, what's wrong?"
@张小胖: Hey, my dad has a really big project in his seafood business, and I need to build a good relationship with the project leader to get it.
@Zhang Xiaopang: The project manager likes Chinese landscape paintings. Dad, please take out the Master Luo landscape paintings you treasure at home and prepare to give them to him when I treat him to lunch the day after tomorrow.
@张小胖: We learned last night that our competitor first gifted the project leader a painting by Master Luo's master. This is so embarrassing!
@张小胖: Master Luo's master hasn't been out in a long time, and the paintings he's produced this time are priceless! We're definitely not going to be able to compete this time, so we have to close a branch office. It's giving us a headache!
The seafood business is already difficult due to nuclear wastewater contamination, and if they have to close a strategic branch, Zhang Xiaopang's family's business will be even more unsustainable.
After reading Xiaopang's description, Jiang Lili also felt a headache.
This competitor is really mean. He guessed that Xiaopang's family wanted to send Master Luo to the person in charge, so he directly invited Master Luo's master to come out. It's simply a dimensionality reduction attack!
Not to mention that there is a dinner party the day after tomorrow. No matter what, I can't show off Master Luo's paintings, and it will put Xiaopang's family in an awkward situation.
Wait, dimensionality reduction attack
Jiang Lili slapped her head and realized that she was in ancient times!
If you pick any accomplished painter at random, wouldn’t it be a dimensionality reduction attack on modern Chinese paintings?
What's more, Lady Yang, the wife of Marquis Zhaoping, was the daughter of a Grand Secretary. When she was young, her paintings at the Hundred Flowers Banquet were famous in the capital, and she was praised by the late emperor as "the most talented woman in the capital."
@Jiang Lili: Xiaopang, don't worry! I'll get someone to help you!
@Jiang Lili: My mother-in-law in ancient times was the daughter of a university scholar. When she was young, she was the most talented woman in the capital. I don't believe her painting skills are worse than those of Master Na Luo's master!
@张小胖: Oh my god, Sister Li, no more words, I have to worship you! !
@张小胖: I'll go get you some Chinese painting materials right now!
"Wait, don't worry. I'll go back and ask Madam Yang what she wants!"
Jiang Lili thought that there must be differences in painting tools. She was not a professional, so she had to go back and ask Yang's opinion first. However, she didn't know whether Yang was sick now and would be able to paint. In short, she had to go back first.
Suddenly there was a mission at this moment, so Jiang Lili and her group split into two groups.
Jiayu and Guan Yue went to buy Jiang Lili some clothes to change into and other daily necessities that she would need to carry with her on her journey into exile.
Jiang Lili asked Li Sicong in the group about the shop selling painting materials in Linzhou City, and then rushed to the shop to buy some.
Jiang Lili, who is very careful, was afraid that there might be differences between ancient and modern painting materials, so she made some second-hand preparations.
With a shrewd person like Li Sicong leading the way, the owner of the art supply shop dared not to deceive people and only brought out the best things.
After the four of them finished purchasing their things, they met at the city gate. They had achieved their goal in Linzhou City and were now rushing back to the mountain stronghold.
This time, because they set out an hour and a half late on their return journey, Jiang Lili and her group returned to the village late at night.
Before the horses reached the gate of the stronghold, Jiang Lili saw from afar a man holding a lantern standing on the tower in front of the gate.
The warm yellow light from the lantern illuminated his face. It was Xin Che.
His facial features were as calm as water, and he stood quietly in the dark night. Only when he saw Jiang Lili's horse appear did his expression relax and he came down from the tower village.
Guan Yue remembered Jiang Lili's teasing this morning, and with a meaningful smile, she teased Jiang Lili, "Oh my god, who is that? He's almost standing like a wife-watching rock."
Jiang Lili shook her head: "Maybe he just couldn't sleep late at night and came out for a walk."
Cheng Jiayu was quite surprised to see Xin Che. His master was still standing at the gate of the stronghold so late. Was he waiting for him to return to the stronghold and report the news?
It's rare for the master to care about me so much! Thinking about the news I brought back this time, it's not surprising that the master is so worried and concerned.
Just standing here waiting for me would be too obvious. Guan Yue and Jiang Lili don't even know the relationship between their master and me.
When Cheng Jiayu saw Xin Che coming down from the tower village and walking straight towards him, he had already thought of how to find a natural excuse to take Xin Che, who now seemed unfamiliar to him, aside to report the news.
However, Xin Che walked straight past him, and Cheng Jiayu stood awkwardly in mid-air when he was about to greet Xin Che.
Xin Che walked to Taozhi's horse, and Jiang Lili was just jumping off the horse.
The horse's back was too high, and Jiang Lili was holding the painting materials she had bought in one hand, which felt heavy.
She stumbled and lost her balance when she jumped down. Xin Che reached out to straighten her up and took the bag from Jiang Lili's hand naturally.
"What's in the bundle?"
"Painting materials."
Jiang Lili thought of the troubled Xiaopang and explained as she dragged Xin Che back to the village, "I really need a landscape painting right now!"
Thinking of Xin Che's reputation as a man of both literary and martial talents, it would be inconvenient to disturb Mrs. Yang so late at night. Xin Che is so smart, it would be great to ask him to help choose the painting materials first.
After she pulled Xin Che into the side room, she told him the reason she had prepared: "My mother appeared in my dream and asked me to burn a landscape painting for her to show my filial piety!"
Seeing Jiang Lili's anxious expression, Xin Che picked up the teapot on the table and poured her a cup of tea: "Are you in a hurry?"
"It's urgent, extremely urgent!"
Jiang Lili poured out baskets of painting materials from the package and took off the rice paper she was carrying on her back.
“Are there any specific requirements for landscape painting?”
"No, as long as it's a landscape painting, it's fine!" Jiang Lili recalled Xiaopang's description.
"Could you help me choose some painting materials first? I don't know which brush, rice paper, and paint are best to use."
Jiang Lili drank tea in big gulps as she spoke. She had hardly rested on the way and was really tired.
"Okay." Xin Che nodded, squatted down and started picking out the pile of paper, pens and paints on the ground.
"You want me to draw?"
Xin Che asked a question halfway through, but no one responded. He turned around and saw Jiang Lili lying on the table, asleep.
But when she slept, she still held her magical backpack tightly, which showed that she was very alert.
Xin Che didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't touch the backpack in Jiang Lili's hand. He moved Jiang Lili to the bed and covered her with a quilt.
After Jiang Lili was settled.
Xin Che put away the selected painting materials and went out with the rice paper.
Jiang Lili slept well all night, and the light in the next room was on all night.
Jiang Lili, exhausted, slept until almost noon. When she opened her eyes and saw the scene in the room, she rubbed her eyes hard.
