name

Shu Qingmo would say that, not because he was trying to save face.

In recent years, his traditional Chinese paintings have been able to sell for a good price, and it is not a problem to make ends meet.

In addition, he passed the interview at the city museum a while ago, and after graduating in July, he will be able to have a formal job.

Even if you ignore the above, now Shu Qingmo has a chance to make money.

"Shu Shu, have you seen the scholarship list?"

In the booth of the campus coffee shop, Ye Xiaoxuan sat opposite Shu Qingmo, propping her chin with one hand, and swiping her phone with the other, unable to hide her disappointment.

"Mn." Shu Qingmo responded lightly, her eyes always resting on the "Appreciation of Calligraphy and Painting of Ming and Qing Dynasties" in her hand.

"I'm so envious of you." Ye Xiaoxuan lay powerlessly on the table, staring greedily at Shu Qingmo's white and thin fingers, "It's the first prize again."

"Don't be discouraged," Shu Qingmo raised her head to look at Ye Xiaoxuan, and comforted her, "There are other scholarships before graduation."

"But Yan's scholarship has the most money." Ye Xiaoxuan twitched her lips and rested her chin on the back of her hand, "How much is the first prize, [-]?"

"Fifteen thousand." Shu Qingmo said.

"My God, you must treat me!" Ye Xiaoxuan wailed.

"Please please." Shu Qingmo said with a smile.

Ye Xiaoxuan and Shu Qingmo are both senior students majoring in oil painting at the South China Academy of Fine Arts. In a month's time, they will part ways and go their separate ways.

During college, Shu Qingmo didn't live on campus, and had an average relationship with other students in the class. Ye Xiaoxuan was his only friend in the class.

I still remember that when he was freshman, he and Ye Xiaoxuan were assigned to the same group to complete their homework. Since then, the two have gradually become acquainted, and were even misunderstood as a couple.

"However, it doesn't matter if you miss the Yan's scholarship." Ye Xiaoxuan quickly cheered up and got up quickly. Shu Qingmo was also surprised by the speed of recovery.

According to past experience, even a small blow can make Ye Xiaoxuan feel depressed, and Shu Qingmo needs to comfort her for a long time every time.

"Do you know who is in charge of the Yan family now?" Ye Xiaoxuan leaned forward, looked at Shu Qingmo mysteriously and asked.

Shu Qingmo pondered in his mind for a moment, then blurted out: "Yan Zonglang."

The Yan family is a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River. They started their business in shipping business in the early years. Later, I don’t know if their ancestors accumulated evil virtues, but they actually salvaged several shipwrecks from the Southern Song Dynasty on the high seas. They accumulated a lot of wealth by selling the porcelain on the ships. Now It has the right to operate hundreds of docks in the coastal areas.

There is almost no one in Nancheng who has never heard of Yan Zonglang's name, so it's not surprising that Shu Qingmo would know.

"Then you should know that he is the fiancé of Shu Mengfu, the eldest lady of the Shu family, right?" Ye Xiaoxuan continued to ask with enthusiasm.

Suddenly hearing someone he knew, Shu Qingmo's heart skipped a beat.He has a good relationship with Ye Xiaoxuan, but he never revealed his background to her.

The marriage between the Shu family and the Yan family is no secret in Nancheng, Shu Qingmo nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm just telling you." Ye Xiaoxuan lowered her voice, covered the right corner of her mouth with her left hand, "I may become relatives with Yan Zonglang."

"A relative?" Shu Qingmo was stunned, "With Yan Zonglang?"

"Amazing." Ye Xiaoxuan chuckled.

"You..." Shu Qingmo hesitated to speak, he probably guessed what method Ye Xiaoxuan would use to become Yan Zonglang's relative.

Ye Xiaoxuan is a girl who advocates money worship, and she does not hide her worship.Her greatest wish in life is not to become a famous painter, but to marry into a wealthy family.

When Shu Qingmo used her spare time to draw Chinese paintings in her room, Ye Xiaoxuan spent most of her spare time clubbing and befriending rich and powerful young masters.

A girl like her has a bad reputation in the class, because her roommates will talk behind her back that the gui she memorized is third-hand.

But Shu Qingmo doesn't mind this, values ​​are difficult even for husband and wife to unify, not to mention there are so many people in the world who grow up in different environments.

How Ye Xiaoxuan wants to live is her business.Shu Qingmo didn't want to interfere too much, but today's situation is a bit special.

"You said you were dating Shu Yichen??" Shu Qingmo looked at Ye Xiaoxuan in shock, really unable to connect his best friend with his second brother.

In his cognition, Ye Xiaoxuan is from his world, while Shu Yichen is from another world.These two worlds were originally irrelevant, but now because of Ye Xiaoxuan, the boundary has been broken.

"Hmm." Ye Xiaoxuan snorted triumphantly, "He is very interesting to me, and I am confident that I can take him down. If there is a chance to marry into the Shu family in the future, then Yan Zonglang and I will be considered family members."

"Xiaoxuan," Shu Qingmo frowned, "change your target, Shu Yichen is not suitable for you."

"Why?" Ye Xiaoxuan looked at Shu Qingmo in a little surprise, because Shu Qingmo had never had any objections to her dating partner, "Shu's family is a family of artists, and I am a student of oil painting, isn't it very suitable?"

"You can't just look at your background." Shu Qingmo was a little anxious, "Shu Yichen is not a good person."

Now the surprise in Ye Xiaoxuan's eyes carried a hint of inquiry, she tilted her head, looked at Shu Qingmo puzzled and asked, "How do you know?"

In Ye Xiaoxuan's eyes, Shu Qingmo is a person who only knows how to draw.Every time she asked Shu Qingmo to go out shopping, Shu Qingmo would refuse on the grounds that she was rushing to paint.

So normally, Shu Qingmo shouldn't know someone like Shu Yichen.Even if they have the same surname, it is not enough for Ye Xiaoxuan to think that they are brothers.

Shu Qingmo was indeed unfamiliar with Shu Yichen, not counting the funeral a few days ago, he hadn't seen this second brother for 12 years.

If you have to say why Shu Yichen is not a good person, it is probably because when Shu Qingmo was ten years old, he spent three days painting a landscape painting, but Shu Yichen splashed it into waste paper with a bottle of ink.

But these things obviously can't be brought up with Ye Xiaoxuan, besides, they are all things from childhood, who didn't do some stupid things when they were young?

To say what kind of person Shu Yichen is now, Shu Qingmo really couldn't say for sure, and couldn't comment on him.

"If you don't believe me, ask Luo Zihang." Shu Qingmo had no choice but to drag someone out to block the gun, "He knows more about the calligraphy and painting circle."

"Ask him what he is doing." Ye Xiaoxuan made a boring cut, as if she didn't want to continue the topic, and said perfunctorily: "Don't worry, I have a man's eye, if Shu Yichen is really not a good person, I will stop the loss in time .”

Seeing that Ye Xiaoxuan mentioned this, Shu Qingmo couldn't persuade her anymore.

There are no classes in the second semester of senior year, but there are many things to do when graduation is approaching.

Shu Qingmo went to the Academic Affairs Office to hand in the materials required for graduation procedures, then parted ways with Ye Xiaoxuan, and returned to the old dormitory he rented near the school.

Shu Qingmo has been living here since he was born.

Although the old man of the Shu family died when he was ten years old, his mother lost all scruples and took him back to the Shu family's mansion in a threatening manner. However, within half a year, the mother and son returned here in despair.

The community is a teacher’s dormitory built by the Academy of Fine Arts in the 90s of last century. Many teachers have already moved to other places. Most of the people living here are relatives of teachers or scattered tenants.

The stairwell does not see sunlight all the year round, and mildew can be seen everywhere in the corridor.When Shu Qingmo was climbing the stairs, she accidentally received a call from Fang Wanrou.

At the last funeral, Shu Qingmo verbally gave up the inheritance, but according to Fang Wanrou, he may go back on his word at any time.

The meaning of Fang Wanrou's call was very clear, asking him to leave documentary evidence to prove that he had voluntarily given up his inheritance.Otherwise, although he can't get the part of the property that belongs to Shu Qingmo, others can't move it either.

Shu Qingmo didn't want to have anything to do with the Shu family anymore. Although Fang Wanrou's request made him somewhat displeased, he still agreed to spare time on Sunday to go to the notary office with Fang Wanrou.

He kept drawing until night, when an impatient knock on the door interrupted Shu Qingmo's highly concentrated attention.

He put down his paintbrush and locked the studio door. No accident, the person who came to see him this late at night was indeed Luo Zihang who lived upstairs.

"Come and see my new work." Luo Zihang pushed aside the books on the coffee table in the living room, then spread out the half-dry Chinese painting in his hand, and looked at Shu Qingmo expectantly, "This is a gift from someone else." My mother's Wen Xinlan, how is it, it looks pretty."

Oncidium is an ornamental flower. After blooming, the golden leaves look like dancing girls, so it is also called dancing orchid.

Flowers are really good flowers, as for painting...

Shu Qingmo looked at it carefully, and commented pertinently: "It's not bad."

Luo Zihang is also a senior student at the South China Academy of Fine Arts, but he is a Chinese painting major next door.He always liked to show Shu Qingmo his paintings, and whenever Shu Qingmo gave him serious advice, he would say that Shu Qingmo had already switched to oil painting and was a layman.

Hearing Shu Qingmo's evaluation, Luo Zihang was really dissatisfied, he frowned and said, "I've been drawing for a long time, can't you say something nice?"

Shu Qingmo laughed: "If I say something nice, can you ask auntie to reduce my rent?"

Luo Zihang's mother is a well-known traditional Chinese painting painter, but it has only received attention in recent years.Before that, Luo Zihang's family was not much better off than Shu Qingmo except for two worthless shabby houses.

Shu Qingmo originally said a joke, but Luo Zihang took it seriously.

"Are you short of money again recently?" Luo Zihang put away his dissatisfied expression, looked at Shu Qingmo seriously and asked, "Shall I lend you some first?"

Since her mother's death, Shu Qingmo's life was really difficult.Luo Zihang grew up with him, apart from not knowing that he was still insisting on painting traditional Chinese paintings, it can be said that he knew the bottom line of him.

"No, I have money." Shu Qingmo smiled lightly, lest Luo Zihang think he was trying to be brave, "Auntie has only raised the rent once in so many years, how can I have the nerve to ask her to reduce the rent?"

"Don't be so extravagant." Luo Zihang said, "If you are short of money, tell me, whichever of our two families is with whom."

Shu Qingmo had no choice but to say, "I'm really not short of money."

As soon as the words were finished, Shu Qingmo received a transfer message.At the same time, a message popped up on his WeChat.
