Chapter 84 Storage Space Upgraded
Jiang Youzhen looked at this handsome young servant who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was already the chief steward?
And the voice he spoke just now was a little shrill, not mellow. Suddenly I thought of the Fourth Master mentioned by this person just now, it seems that my guess was right.
The two followed the former steward through the corridor and arrived at the second courtyard.
The environment here is quiet and elegant, not magnificent. Jiang Youzhen thought about it, after all, it is the backyard of the county government, it can't be too luxurious, otherwise how can it be explained?
You say you are not greedy, but how can you be extravagant with such a small salary?
[Congratulations to the host for completing the sign-in task at the residence of Lin Jiuan, the magistrate of Wen County. As a reward, the host's storage space is upgraded to ten cubic meters, and his appearance is improved by 10% (it will be upgraded again within one month after the last completion)]
Jiang Youzhen was immediately overjoyed. Nothing could be more gratifying than becoming more beautiful.
The storage space is upgraded to 10 cubic meters, which is as big as a small bedroom. Most importantly, the storage space can be upgraded, so you don’t have to worry about having nowhere to put your things.
Jiang Youzhen's face was full of smiles. System~ I will never dislike you again.
As soon as the two arrived in front of a small courtyard, Jiang Youzhen saw a handsome man painting by the window.
The other person lowered his head, his slender figure outlined by a green robe, which gave him a unique aura of cold, elegant and graceful demeanor.
I couldn't see his face clearly, but from his gestures and the aura he gave, he's definitely a handsome guy!
"Fourth Master! It's Master Tong!" The former steward walked up to the man and spoke softly when he saw him stop writing.
The man raised his head and smiled when he saw Tong Huaian. But that smile made Jiang Youzhen stunned.
It has nothing to do with appearance, it’s just the artistic conception and the expression that are truly moving.
Jiang Youzhen then understood that there is a kind of person who can be aloof from the world just by their gestures and temperament.
Of course, if coupled with a heavenly appearance, she would be truly invincible.
If the Tong Huaian in front of him was the clear breeze, bright moon and handsome jade tree, then the one in front of him was the graceful rosy clouds and the melodious moon, and the high spring dream tower.
However, such a person who appears to be glamorous and elegant on the surface is not like that inside, otherwise he would not be able to sit on the throne.
Tong Huaian walked forward and suddenly thought of Jiang Youzhen. When he turned around, he found that Jiang Youzhen was staring at the Fourth Master in a daze.
He coughed lightly and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Don't look directly at me. Don't be disrespectful."
Jiang Youzhen lowered his head quickly. It can only be said that everyone appreciates beautiful things, right? This action has nothing to do with romance.
"I thought you would come yesterday, but I didn't expect you to come until today."
The Fourth Master put down his paintbrush, and a picture of plum blossoms in the coldest days of winter appeared on the paper.
"Greetings, Fourth Master! Something delayed me. Are you painting again?"
Tong Huaian was not overly reserved in front of the Fourth Master; on the contrary, he was somewhat casual.
"I have nothing to do, so I'm killing time! It's already past the 49th day of the lunar month, why don't you color it in?"
The Fourth Master made way for him, and Tong Huaian didn't hesitate to take the pen and went forward to color.
However, when he walked away, Jiang Youzhen, who was looking at him curiously, appeared behind him.
"Jiang Youzhen greets the Fourth Master!" Jiang Youzhen hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects. This man has a great chance of becoming the emperor, so even if he doesn't try to curry favor with him, he can't offend him.
"Who is this?" The Fourth Master also looked at Jiang Youzhen. She had a beautiful face, red lips and white teeth.
Her eyebrows and eyes are curved when she smiles, which reminds people of the bright spring scenery, and they can't help but curl the corners of their lips.
"This is my friend Jiang Youzhen." Tong Huaian looked at the two people staring at each other coldly. He only explained one sentence and turned back to coloring.
Jiang Youzhen came over to watch Tong Huaian paint the plum blossom petals, "Is this the Jiujiu Xiaohan Tu? The plum blossom's proud and frost-resistant character is truly depicted. This artistic conception and composition are simply brilliant! It's so beautiful!"
The Fourth Master quickly took a look at the painting and was a little bit unbelievable. Is it really that good?
He is good at both civil and military affairs, and is proficient in many types of calligraphy. He is not inferior to the great scholars. Even his painting skills... are not bad! Unfortunately, the best painter among the princes is not him, but his second brother.
Even my father praised my second brother's paintings. The paintings of Jiujiu Xiaohan in the study were always hung with my second brother's masterpieces.
Hearing Jiang Youzhen praising his painting, he immediately felt happy.
This boy has good eyesight!
Tong Huaian turned around and glanced at Jiang Youzhen. Haha! So he wasn't just praising himself, was he?
"You like it? Then I'll give it to you." The Fourth Master blurted out, sweeping away the frustration of having failed to do his job in recent days.
"Eh? Really?" Jiang Youzhen's eyes lit up.
If this person ascends the throne in the future, he can hang the painting in the main hall of his home, and then it will be admired by thousands of people, right?
The fourth master was amused. "It's just a painting. How can it fool you?"
Seeing his paintings being recognized by Jiang Youzhen, the Fourth Master suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was more and more pleasing to the eye. It turned out that there are still people with good vision in this world.
Seeing that Tong Huaian had finished painting, Jiang Youzhen immediately stepped forward and blew on it, trying to dry the ink.
Tong Huaian's mouth twitched. I shouldn't have brought her here today. It's so embarrassing!
When Jiang Youzhen blew it to the bottom, he saw that it was blank, without any signature or seal. How could this be possible?
"Ahem! Fourth Master, your name should be included here. Such a good painting should let everyone know that it was created by you."
Jiang Youzhen pointed at the blank space and looked at the Fourth Master expectantly.
When the Fourth Master saw Bambi's eyes, which were wet and had a cute curve, he immediately felt that he should not refuse such a request.
At this moment, even Yuan Shang couldn't help but twitch his lips. Where did this kid come from? How come he is better at bragging than me?
How could he not know? The Fourth Master's painting skills were just average! He was really not as good as the Second Prince and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy.
"Yes!" The Fourth Master was delighted by the compliment and immediately asked Yuan Shang to bring him his private seal.
"This is too monotonous. I have to write two lines to show the artistic conception."
"That couldn't be better!" Jiang Youzhen was delighted. If he wrote more, it would become his own signature dish in the future.
When the time comes, I will take out this painting wherever I go. It is the emperor's masterpiece. Who would dare not give him face?
Tong Huaian had just put down his pen when he was pushed aside by Jiang Youzhen and the Fourth Master. Seeing their heads sticking together, he immediately felt unhappy.
I actually underestimated Jiang Youzhen. He won the favor of the Fourth Master as soon as he arrived. This kid is a master at flattering people!
He wasn't exaggerating. If he showed off his skills, wouldn't Jiang Youzhen be astounded? The Fourth Master's painting skills were not even as good as the Sixth Prince, who was only ten years old in the palace.
"It seems that this is not an ordinary color, its shade depends on the ice and snow." (From Cao Xueqin's "Ode to Red Plum Blossoms")
"What a great poem! There is no word for plum blossoms in the whole poem, but the artistic conception of plum blossoms can be appreciated. Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Jiang Youzhen gave a thumbs up. The poem was indeed good, and compared to the painting, the calligraphy also amazed her.
I have to say! In comparison, the painting is indeed ordinary. No wonder the expressions of Yuan Zongguan and Tong Huaian were so strange just now.
