Chapter 39 Lost miserably and was slapped by his own mother
Zhou Jinyu said innocently, "Aunt, I'm doing this for your own good. I know you're about the same age as me, and that's the age where you care about these false reputations, but we have to be down-to-earth. Otherwise, if we don't have much knowledge and try to pretend to be a talented woman, it's easy to make mistakes and be laughed at."
"you……"
Xu Yanran felt everyone's subtle gazes on her, and she panicked, eager to explain, "I'm not pretending to be a talented woman. I have countless competition medals, and my dad can vouch for me."
Zhou Jinyu looked helpless: "Okay, okay, okay, you didn't establish a character, and your playing of the guqin today was a mistake, okay?"
“…”
This coaxing tone made Xu Yanran's face even redder.
She clearly thinks she is being unreasonable.
"Zhou Jinyu, let's draw some pictures."
Xu Yanran didn't want to give the guests a bad impression of her personality, so she planned to redeem herself by painting.
Zhou Jinyu was happy to accompany him.
If she wants to compete, then let her compete.
The elevator brought more rice paper and painting supplies. Zhou Jinyu asked, "Aunt, what do you want to draw?"
Although Xu Yanran was angry at Zhou Jinyu's ridicule, she did not forget to maintain her image as an elder. Instead of answering, she said, "Jinyu, you know how to paint, right? If not..."
"Don't worry, little aunt, this painting is not difficult, you can learn it just by watching."
Zhou Jinyu interrupted: "It's just like watching a guqin video, it's very simple."
“…”
Xu Yanran's face looked a little ugly.
She said it so easily and simply that it made me, who had been trained by famous teachers, seem a bit useless.
"Jinyu, let's get started. Today's painting has no theme."
She said.
Zhou Jinyu didn't waste any time and started painting.
Seeing that she didn't even need to come up with an idea, Xu Yanran sneered in disdain. With such a casual attitude, how could the painting be any good?
As a result, within half an hour, Zhou Jinyu had finished painting a magnificent landscape painting. Because it was imbued with spiritual energy, when it was exhibited, the guests below the stage felt their chests become relaxed and happy, and they all felt refreshed.
"Miss Zhou, is this painting for sale?"
Someone shouted, "I'm willing to pay three million."
Since this painting can make him feel comfortable, it would definitely be beneficial to buy it and put it in the hall.
When the others saw him bidding, they immediately rushed to say, "Miss Zhou, sell it to me. I'm willing to pay four million."
"I'll give you five million."
"I'll give you six million."
…
Zhou Jinyu's casual painting was finally sold at a price of 50 million yuan.
Xu Yanran, who was still painting, was affected by the way these people were fighting. Her mind was buzzing and she didn't know how to paint.
"Everyone, this is just a casual drawing I made. It's not worth 50 million. You're being too kind."
Zhou Jinyu said, "If you want it, it's one thousand yuan per painting. Pay me after the banquet and I'll paint it for you on the spot."
She has principles when making money. She won't accept anything that is not worth the money, otherwise she will be punished by the thunder from heaven.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. "Ms. Zhou, your painting looks very spiritual. Isn't it too much of a loss to sell it so cheaply?"
"One thousand yuan is not cheap."
Zhou Jinyu said.
She only sold the talisman for two hundred yuan, and this one thousand yuan is five times the price.
"This price is fair. Buy it and hang it in the hall. It will protect your home and your master."
She explained the purpose of the painting to everyone, "But the effect only lasts for half a year. If you still want to continue protecting the master, you can only come to me for painting again."
As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that their previous feeling was not wrong.
This is indeed beneficial to the body.
"Jinyu, this is just an ordinary painting. Isn't it a bad idea for you to deceive everyone like this?"
Xu Yanran put down her pen, frowned slightly, and said, "I know you're not having a good time in the Zhou family, but you can't be a little charlatan, right?"
She said this, believing that the guests present would react and think that Zhou Jinyu was a liar.
Unexpectedly...
"Miss Xu, please stop talking nonsense."
Everyone blamed Xu Yanran, "Just because you're a talented woman doesn't mean Miss Zhou is as useless as you."
Their bodies know better than anyone else whether Zhou Jinyu's paintings are effective or not.
“…”
Xu Yanran felt that this world was so mysterious. It was just a painting, so why did everyone seem to be brainwashed?
"Aunt, have you finished your painting?"
Zhou Jinyu said.
Xu Yanran just remembered that she was drawing, and said a little embarrassedly: "Not yet."
"It's been an hour, and you haven't finished painting yet?"
Zhou Jinyu walked over and took a look at Xu Yanran's painting. "Aunt, no way, you only drew this much?"
"Didn't you say you were a talented woman? Is this all you're capable of?"
Although her tone was casual, Xu Yanran could hear her sarcasm. Her pretty face immediately flushed red as she defended herself, "Jinyu, painting requires conception. It's normal for a good painting to take ten days or half a month."
"So you're saying my painting is not good?"
Zhou Jinyu asked the servant to turn the painting over for Xu Yanran to see. After she finished looking at it and felt the changes in her body, she finally understood why the guests in the audience were vying for the painting.
Xu Yanran knew that she had completely lost in front of Zhou Jinyu.
Her so-called talented woman image was a complete joke to Zhou Jinyu.
Continuing to defend herself would only make people think she couldn't afford to lose. Instead of that, she might as well give in. "Jinyu, I now admit that there are always people better than you. Compared to you, I really don't deserve the title of talented woman. You are truly gifted."
Apologize first and then make plans.
"Everyone, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not in a good mood today."
She bowed to the guests.
Now, the guests couldn't blame her.
When it comes to talent, there are winners and losers. Even those who have learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting will still lose in front of a genius like Zhou Jinyu. It is not surprising that Xu Yanran lost.
"Miss Xu, it's okay. You were also called up by Miss Zhou to help."
Someone came to her rescue.
The others nodded in agreement.
Zhou Jinyu glanced at Xu Yanran and smiled inwardly.
As expected of Feng Jiaorou's daughter, she has some brains.
But if you want too much, the end is bound to be bad.
"Jinyu, you're so talented. Can I ask you for some painting advice after the banquet?"
Xu Yanran said.
Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "Aunt, sure, you're welcome to come over anytime."
You want to act, right? Who wouldn't?
"Jinyu, there's no need to perform this talent anymore. I'd better go down first."
Xu Yanran wanted to step down.
Zhou Jinyu followed her downstairs.
However, the treatment the two received was obviously different. After Zhou Jinyu stepped down from the stage, he was surrounded by many people, all vying to ask about the painting. Xu Yanran was invisibly pushed aside.
Feng Jiaorou looked at this scene and was so angry that she almost bit her teeth. She secretly winked at Xu Yanran and then walked away.
Seeing this, Xu Yanran shuddered in her heart and followed obediently.
When they entered the room, Feng Jiaorou angrily slapped her and shouted, "What's wrong with you today?"
