"Can you draw the twelve zodiac signs?"
"meeting!"
"Then draw the first one of the zodiac signs first."
Lu Tingjiang took out a piece of paper and spread it on the desk, but Luo Xin looked at Butler Lu. Butler Lu smiled and said:
"Brother Xin needs charcoal when painting!"
Then he went out and gave a few instructions. After a while, a servant walked in with a basin of charcoal. There were two small tails behind him, one was the slightly smaller Daier and the other was the slightly larger Juaner.
"Brother Luo Family!" Dai'er greeted Luo Xin very politely, but Juan'er raised her chin and looked arrogant.
"Hello Miss Dai'er!" Luo Xin showed a bright smile to Dai'er and ignored Juan'er on the side. A hint of anger flashed in Juan'er's eyes. But he didn't dare to speak in Lu Tingfang's study.
"Why is Dai'er here?" Lu Tingfang showed a loving smile on his face. He had three sons and one daughter. Dai'er was his daughter in his later years and was so loved by him.
"I heard that the Luo family brother is here to draw again, so the child wants to come and take a look." Dai'er lowered her eyebrows, and pointed her fingers in front of her, as if she had made a mistake.
Lu Tingfang laughed in silence and said, "If you want to see it, just look."
"Dad is the best!" Daier suddenly jumped up and looked at Luo Xin and asked, "Brother Luo Family, what are you going to draw today?"
At this time, Luo Xin was squatting down and picking out a charcoal rod, grinding on the ground while thinking.
The first of the twelve zodiac signs is the rat. What kind of rat can be different from this era? Let the eyes of people in this era lit up?
The cute animal image appeared in Luo Xin's heart, and the image of Mickey Mouse flashed vividly before his eyes.
"It's it!"
Seeing Luo Xin looking thoughtful, Lu Tingjiang said, "Brother Xin painted a mouse today."
"Ah!" Dai'er opened her eyes wide, covered her mouth with a chubby little hand, and looked scared in her eyes. Juan'er, who was beside her, showed a hint of disgust in her eyes, and said in her heart:
"What a person really paints something."
Luo Xin made a decision in his heart. At this time, he had already ground the charcoal rod. Before he arrived at the desk, he was as manual as the wind. Within a few breaths, a cute Mickey Mouse appeared on the paper.
"Wow..." Dai'er, who was beside her, suddenly lay on the desk, opened her eyes wide and shouted: "So cute!"
Juan'er's eyes were taken back from Mickey Mouse, and she glanced at Luo Xin, who was washing his hands in a corner of the room, and a complicated gaze flashed through her eyes.
"How could this kid draw a dirty mouse so cute?"
At this time, Lu Tingjiang's eyes were also illuminating, and a hint of surprise appeared in Lu Tingfang's eyes. He was also a person who was well-read in poetry and had a certain understanding of painting, but he had never seen such a painting style.
"A mouse... can actually draw so... cute..."
Lu Tingfang thought for a long time, but finally couldn't come up with the words suitable for describing the Mickey Mouse in front of him, and finally used Dai'er's comments.
Lu Tingjiang suddenly turned his head, looking at Luo Xin's eyes as if he had seen a mountain of gold, and a bright smile appeared on his face and said:
"Brother Xin, draw again, draw cows!"
At this time, Luo Xin had washed his hands and shook his head gently when he heard this. Lu Tingjiang's expression stopped, and then he pointed to the painting on the desk and said:
"I bought this painting for ten taels of silver. You continue painting, I continue buying it."
Luo Xin looked calm, but his heart jumped. Seeing Lu Tingjiang so eager to buy his paintings, if he was just guessing just now, he was already sure that his paintings played an extremely important role in Lu Tingjiang. Although he couldn't think of what Lu Tingjiang did to acquire his paintings, he just needed to know that his paintings were very important to Lu Tingjiang.
"Second Master, I'll give this painting to you."
Lu Tingjiang's expression changed again. Luo Xin closed his mouth after saying this, and the meaning was very obvious, that is, Luo Xin would not draw any more. Originally, Lu Tingjiang bullied Luo Xin just a child, thinking that the price of taking out ten taels of silver per painting would definitely make Luo Xin dizzy, and then draw all the paintings he could draw.
but……
Now it seems that the child in front of him is not simple, his expression is neither humble nor arrogant, and when he proposed a painting of ten taels of silver, his expression is not at all joy, especially his eyes are full of wisdom, as if he has seen through him.
How is this possible?
How could a child have such a look?
Did he really see through his thoughts?
How is this possible?
How could a child have such wisdom?
These thoughts flashed quickly in Lu Tingjiang's heart, and then his expression became calm. An old businessman in his decades had never seen anything? He was just too surprised just now. In a flash, Lu Tingjiang felt scheming in his heart and looked at Luo Xin with a smile:
"Brother Xin, I heard you want to borrow books from my elder brother..."
"Cough!" Lu Tingfang, who had been sitting on the chair, coughed lightly. He knew what his second brother was going to say. He said to an eight-year-old child like this scheming words that made Lu Tingfang blush. How could his precious daughter hear it here? He said to Dai'er:
"Dai'er, you and Juan'er go down first."
"Oh!" Daier looked at the pair of Mickey Mouse reluctantly, and Luo Xin smiled and said, "Miss Daier, I'll give you this painting."
"Really?" Dai'er's eyes turned into two crescent months.
"Of course it's true." Luo Xin's face still maintained a bright smile.
"Thank you, brother of the Luo family!"
Dai'er jumped up again, rushed to the desk, rolled up the pair of Mickey Mouse, and ran out with Juan'er. Lu Tingjiang reluctantly retracted his eyes. Just as he was about to speak again, he heard the big brother's cough again, and then looked at the big brother. Brother's eyebrows and eyebrows were turned around for a few moments, and finally Lu Tingfang lowered his eyes, as if I didn't care.
Lu Tingjiang turned his gaze to Luo Xin and said, "Brother Xin, are you going to borrow books from my elder brother?"
"yes!"
"Then you can't borrow it for nothing, right?"
A hint of bitterness appeared in Luo Xin's heart, and he nodded and said, "Yes!"
A hint of joy appeared in Lu Tingjiang's eyes and said, "How about a painting replacing a book with a book?"
Lu Tingfang's face turned red and his eyes trembled slightly. As a scholar, when he saw his second brother doing this, a hint of shame arose in his heart.
He knew what a painting by Luo Xin meant, and his second brother had explained it to him. The Lu brothers, who entered the official career as the eldest son, Lu Tingjiang operated the largest weaving factory in the north. Although it was not as good as southern embroidery, it almost monopolized the northern market.
When he saw Luo Xin's paintings, he saw business opportunities in the paintings. This style of painting has never appeared before. If it was presented in embroidery, it would definitely be popular in the north...
No!
It will be popular throughout the Ming Dynasty, and countless gold and silver will come.
