Now that no one has a camera, Shiliu plans to study hard with Master Fengming and try to spend more time on portraits for his family so that they can take a look and recall the past in the future.

It is popular in Shitou Village to paint longevity portraits. The so-called longevity portrait is to draw a portrait of the elderly before their death to leave a message to their family members. In the past, the elders in the village would paint longevity portraits, but in recent years, traditional Chinese painting has been almost abolished as dregs, and there are no longer any outsiders painting longevity portraits. Pomegranate thought that if she could learn figure painting well, she might be able to become a portrait painter and earn some extra money by the way.

Pomegranate has always felt that gongbi painting has a unique charm compared to photos. No matter how photographic technology develops, gongbi painting should not be abandoned.

The deposed prince Fengming looked at Shiliu's strokes and nodded secretly: "It seems that you have a good brush foundation, which saves a lot of time. Are you going to learn figure painting from me first, or learn flower and bird painting from your master Qin?" ?”

Pomegranate asked in confusion: "Didn't you just explain "Lady Painting" to me? Why did you ask me whether to learn figure painting or flower-and-bird painting first?"

"Children of aristocratic families have learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, but they are not necessarily proficient in everything. Most children of aristocratic families will choose one or two that they are interested in and study them in depth, and most of the others can distinguish between good and bad. If you want to go deeper Of course I don’t have any objections to learning, but if you want to simply understand that you only have to upgrade to level 1, then I will focus on teaching you how to read paintings."

"But painting is a very interesting art. I hope you can choose one you like between flower-and-bird painting and figure painting and study it in depth. In our time, women in boudoirs tended to prefer flower-and-bird painting."

Although Shiliu had previously planned to become a longevity statue master, she knew something about herself. If she really wanted to travel all over the world to do this, she might as well forget about it as soon as possible. She just wanted to think about it. She really had to choose between figure painting and flower-and-bird painting in traditional Chinese painting. She really didn't know what to choose for a while. After thinking about it for a long time, Pomegranate could only sigh.

"How about you teach me stone painting first? Then I will follow you and Master Qin to learn the relevant basic knowledge. In this way, I should be able to reach level 1, right?"

"can."

Fengming had no intention of forcing Shiliu to study. The reason why he and Qin left the inheritance was more to appreciate Shiliu's filial piety to his son, and also to accumulate more merit. Yes, leaving a legacy can be regarded as a merit. If Shiliu can study deeply, the couple can gain considerable merit.

Unlike her husband, Mrs. Qin doesn't have much merit, and she has been tricked for many years. If she wants to be reborn in a good pregnancy, she needs a lot of merit. Pomegranate was her bet. If possible, she hoped that Pomegranate would choose to study flower and bird painting in depth.

Shiliu accidentally saw Master Qin's earnest eyes, and her heart moved, and she said casually: "I have a lot of time. Even if I don't study in depth now, I will always study in depth in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Master Qin's pleased eyes, and Shiliu suddenly felt a heavy burden on her shoulders.

So far, she has received a total of 10 skill lessons through the sign-in system. Not counting the etiquette courses that have already started and the bun-making course that has been temporarily abandoned, she still has eight skill courses to learn: wood carving, soft-pen calligraphy, embroidery, Meticulous figure painting, meticulous flower and bird painting, dance, paper-making and incense making, among which soft-brush calligraphy and paper-making skill courses are about to be completed.

Pomegranate pursed her lips. Should she specialize in these two skills first, graduate them in one go, and then learn the others? Immediately, Shiliu gave up the idea. Not to mention that both the Princess and the Crown Princess of Rui County wanted to be reincarnated together with their husbands. Brother Shi also needed wood carving skills courses. Her idea was obviously unreasonable.

Meticulous brush painting requires "someone who is skillful and precise". Meticulous flower and bird painting, Five Dynasties Huangquan, hook flower and coloring, the painting method is similar to that of landscape figures, all are rich and exquisite, and to be honest, it is very in line with Pomegranate's aesthetics. She feels that she should do it in the future Will move towards level 5 master.

Master Fengming and Master Qin gave eloquent explanations for more than three hours. Pomegranate made great progress from knowing nothing at the beginning to understanding a little bit later. This also made the two masters feel happy. After all, everyone wants to be taught by themselves. He is a genius who knows everything at once, not a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved.

After saying goodbye to the two masters, Shiliu quickly left the teaching space, and her mother's voice came from outside the door. "Pomegranate, come out and have dinner quickly, and then go to bed after eating."

Only then did Shiliu notice that she had stayed in the teaching space for an entire afternoon, which was three days if converted to the flow rate of the teaching space. Hiss, she found that she loved learning more and more recently, and was getting closer and closer to becoming a master.

"Hey, Mom, I'm going out right now. What are you going to eat tonight?"

"There are still some leftover mushroom and pork buns made by your third brother. Mom has heated up two for you. We also cooked corn mush at home. You will also have a bowl later."

Pomegranate doesn't think there's anything wrong with drinking cornstarch. In later generations, there are still many people who specialize in buying whole grains to eat, and the price is not cheap. Although the cornmeal at home is not as finely ground as that of later generations, it is still quite good to drink a bowl occasionally to change the taste.

"Hey, Deng Yue, why are you here?" She was quite surprised to see Deng Yue at home.

Deng Yue looked at the pomegranate and said happily: "My friend in Haishi sent me a lot of isinglass. I remember you said last time that the isinglass you bought was not enough to eat, so I wrote to my best friend and asked her to send some. , I didn’t expect that her relatives had a fisherman at home, and they had a lot of fish maw at home.”

"Really. Deng Yue, you are so kind. I want to eat seafood in the future, can I ask my friend like you to send some? Don't worry, I won't take advantage. I will pay for the purchase and postage."

"Yes, and I can't live without seafood." As a native of Haishi, Deng Yue loves seafood to the core. To put it bluntly, she can not eat pork, but she is not allowed to eat seafood. But no.

Shiliu was surprised when she looked at the isinglass that Deng Yue brought. She didn't expect that Deng Yue's friend was so good at it. This bag of isinglass weighed at least 30 kilograms, which was enough for her to eat for a long time. No wonder her mother was so enthusiastic. Save the meal.

"Deng Yue, please calculate how much these isinglasses cost, I will give them to you. I won't let you suffer any loss."

Deng Yue quickly waved her hand: "No, I will give it to you this time." Relying on the relationship between the Shi family, she successfully obtained the qualification to build a house, and finally got rid of the two troublemakers Liu Tiantian and Pan Jinlian. She was grateful It's too late, how can she ask for money? Besides, she doesn't lack dozens of dollars.

When Su Sanlan went to the kitchen, Pomegranate asked in a low voice: "How are your grandpa and uncle doing now?"

Deng Yue: "I now know where my uncle is. I will be able to send food to my uncle in the future. No matter how greedy the guards are, they will always give some to my uncle. As for my grandpa, I look at him every day without paying attention." Go and have a look. The captain is a good man and did not treat my grandpa harshly. Thank you Pomegranate."

Pomegranate waved her hands indifferently: "This has nothing to do with me. My uncle is an upright person. Even if I didn't say hello, he would not treat people in the bullpen harshly."

"Thirty years in the east of Hedong, thirty years in the west of Hexi." Who hasn't been down and out? Only an old man like Uncle Shi would not treat these people harshly. (End of chapter)
