Datang romantic little landlord

After Zhang Liang's fake son was satisfied and left, Qiu Yuanliang looked around for a master painter, wanting to paint a "Picture of Luoshen" to deal with it.

But he was so full of big words at the beginning, where can he find any painter who can draw paintings that are as indistinguishable from real people?Spending money, I found several painters to paint many so-called "Luo Shen Tu", but they were not very satisfied.

Seeing that Zhang Liang's birthday is approaching, and the Qiu family is about to face annihilation, Qiu Yuanliang sees the sketch of a naked woman bought by Qiu Kun, which gives him hope.

That's why Qiu Yuanliang dragged Qiu Kun to look for Li Wangyou around Pingkangfang.Finally, God blessed him and let him find it.

After explaining all this to Li Wangyou, Qiu Yuanliang looked at Li Wangyou with hope: "Xiao Lang, may I ask if this painting is from your hand?"

The reason why Qiu Yuanliang guessed that the sketch was drawn by Li Wangyou was because the paper was very new, so it was obviously a newly completed painting.Secondly, he heard Qiu Kun describe the process of buying the painting, so he speculated that the painting should be painted by the person who sold the painting, otherwise the price would not be so happy to negotiate.

Li Wangyou pondered for a while, then nodded slightly.

"Great, it really was drawn by Xiao Lang. Then I wonder if I can ask Xiao Lang to draw a picture of "Luo Shen Tu" for me? Don't worry, I will buy it with a hundred taels of gold."

Naturally, Li Wangyou would not refuse to agree to this condition, and immediately nodded in agreement.He is flustered now that he is short of money, and making money is a good thing.

"Chou Gong, can you exchange the gold for food?"

"What? Xiaolang's family is also in the food business?" Qiu Yuanliang was puzzled.

Li Wangyou shook his head: "The villagers in the village where I live are struggling..."

He couldn't say that he was making a reserve for the locust plague a month later, so he could only evade the poverty of Dingzhou Village.

"Xiao Lang is really Gao Yi, how about I exchange two hundred shi of grain with you?"

Li Wangyou was overjoyed, he quickly stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qiu, for your kindness."

For an adult, a catty of grain a day is enough to survive.A stone of grain is 250 catties, which can feed an adult for eight or nine months.

Two hundred shi of grain is enough to feed the three people of 560 in Dingzhou Village for three months, and with the small amount of grain stored in the village, it can last for a while.

One hundred taels of gold can only buy 160 shi of food, but Qiu Yuanliang is willing to give him two hundred shi, which is naturally a good thing, and it also shows that the Qiu family is indeed a pure and good generation.

For this, Li Wangyou was grateful.

The two sides chatted happily, and Qiu Yuanliang immediately asked someone to bring a bunch of blank picture scrolls that had been mounted, all of which were as tall as a person.

But Li Wangyou only took one look, then smiled wryly and shook his head: "Chou Gong, these scrolls are not good."

"Why is this?" Qiu Yuanliang was puzzled, he had specially ordered these blank picture scrolls that had been mounted, and they were all high-quality paper and scrolls.

"Qiu Gong, I remember you said that the painting is very old, right?"

Qiu Yuanliang blushed and nodded, he was just bragging.

"But as long as these scrolls are not blind, you can tell at a glance that they are newly made. How can you fool those people?"

Li Wangyou felt that the Chou family's father and son were good people, and he also hated the arrogance of Zhang Liang's fake son, so he was sincerely willing to help.

"This..." Qiu Yuanliang, Qiu Kun and his son were both dumbfounded. They both ignored such an important point.

But as Li Wangyou said, the blind man knew that the scroll was new, so how could he fool Zhang Liang?

"What should I do? Is my Qiu family really doomed?" Qiu Yuanliang sighed.

Li Wangyou smiled: "Don't panic, Mr. Qiu, I have a way to make this picture scroll old."

"Xiao Lang can make old things? Just ask if you need anything, my Chou family will never be vague." Qiu Yuanliang was overjoyed when he heard the words.

"Hehe, it's very simple, cork, saponins and tea leaves."

"that's it?"

"Of course." Li Wangyou smiled and nodded.This is from Baidu in his previous life, not for fakes, but for picking up girls.

That's right, just to pick up girls.

To put it simply, in order to deceive the girl, Li Wangyou shamelessly lied that he had been secretly in love with her for many years, and had written many love letters long ago but dared not send them.

Originally, he just wanted to win the girl's favor, but the girl asked him to read the unsent love letters.Where did this guy write any love letters, so he wrote a few new ones overnight, and then baidued the old method from the Internet, and tricked the girl over.

Although the girl finally issued a good person card to Li Wangyou, but Li Wangyou memorized the method of making old calligraphy and painting, but he didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty would be able to use it.

Huangbai is a traditional Chinese medicine, and Qiu Yuanliang immediately sent his servants to the pharmacy in the workshop to buy medicine.As for the saponins and tea leaves, Qiu Fu has them, so there is no need to go out and look for them.

Not long after, the servant ran back with a large pile of yellow cypress, and the saponins and tea leaves were also ready.

054 Unfortunate

Qiu Yuanliang and Qiu Kun looked at Li Wangyou expectantly.

"Xiao Lang, do you think there is anything missing? Are these enough?"

"Enough is enough. Let people boil the cork and saponins together, and soak the tea leaves separately. Prepare several ovens to dry the scrolls later."

After the cork and saponins were cooked, Li Wangyou asked someone to fetch a brush, carefully dipped the brush into the yellowish-brown liquid and brushed it on the scroll several times, and then asked someone to take it to dry.

After that, brush it several times with tea water, dry it, and then brush it with cork and saponin water.After repeating it several times, the originally brand-new picture scroll becomes like an ancient painting that has passed through thousands of years, which is unbelievably outdated.

As for the scroll of the picture scroll, it doesn't matter, if asked, the answer is that the original one is rotten and just replace it with a new one.

Li Wangyou made seven or eight scrolls in one go, because he was afraid that he would need to repaint them if they were not finished.After all, he has never drawn such a large sketch portrait before, so he is not very confident.

He asked Qiu Yuanliang to help him prepare charcoal pens and steamed cakes.Hearing that he wanted steamed cakes, Qiu Yuanliang thought that Li Wangyou was hungry, and planned to prepare another banquet for him.

Li Wangyou could only explain with a smile, it wasn't that he was hungry, steamed cakes were a tool for painting.

Anyone who has learned sketching knows that wiping with a steamed bun can replace the eraser, and it can soften the gradient of the sketch. It is a very convenient tool.

There is no place to find erasers in this Tang Dynasty, so steamed cakes are just a good substitute.

When everything was ready, Li Wangyou suddenly slapped his forehead.

I forgot one of the most important things, and I lost a model!

To draw a portrait of a beautiful woman in ancient costume as tall as a person, this is something Li Wangyou has never drawn before, and he can't draw it without a model for his reference.

When I told Qiu Yuanliang and his son about this, both of them were dumbfounded.

Although they didn't understand what the model Li Wangyou was talking about, the two of them understood what Li Wangyou meant by drawing this picture after a certain woman.

Qiu Yuanliang simply ordered the servants in the mansion to find all his concubines, and let Li Wangyou choose by himself to see who would be the suitable "model".

This thing is simply beyond Li Wangyou's expectations, this is Datang, why don't you just let concubine Ji come out to meet outsiders like yourself, and let them act as models for you?

But thinking that this is Datang, Li Wangyou felt relieved again.
