Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 221 Social Phobia

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully clocking in, rewarding the host's professional primary modern painting skills."

After three days, Li Yun finally received the basic professional painting skills. He has a deeper understanding of the various techniques of modern painting, and his own skills have also improved.

Li Yun laughed, and then got up to do morning exercises. He planned to meet Dugu Yanjun today, and then take her to see Li Shimin.

An hour later, Li Yun came to Zheng Guogong's mansion with the drawing board, intending to take Wei Wanyu to find Dugu Yanjun together, but Wei Wanyu was not at home, saying that he was visiting relatives with his mother, Mrs. Pei.

The drawing board was made by Li Yun by a carpenter. He forgot it a few days ago. He tried to paint by himself yesterday afternoon, and then he remembered it.

Wei Wanyu is not here now.

Li Yun had no choice but to go to Dugu Mansion by himself.

After Li Yun put on the mask again and said that he was Tang Bohu, the servant immediately led him to see Duguhong.

When Dugu Hong saw Li Yun, he bowed deeply, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you really want to take Yan Jun to paint together?"

He had already heard about the Tai Chi Hall, and knew that Li Yun had proposed to let Tang Bohu and Dugu Yanjun paint together.

Immediately knowing Li Yun's intentions, he was a little worried.

He was somewhat looking forward to Li Yun taking Dugu Yanjun with him, but also worried.

The anticipation is because Dugu Yanjun likes Li Yun, and he hopes that his daughter's wishes will come true.

The worry is that Li Yun is just playing for fun, not sincere at all.

Li Yun didn't know what was going on in Dugu Hong's mind. He smiled and said, "Ms. Dugu's painting style is exactly the best painter I'm looking for. Please rest assured Mr. Dugu, there will be absolutely no problems."

Seeing that Dugu Hong was still worried, he paused for a moment, and then said, "I actually want to help Miss Dugu."

"I want to tell my husband, as well as other people, that Ms. Dugu does have flaws in her personality, but that can't be her fault. She is still talented, and she can still shine."

"As for her personality problem, it's not that she's timid, nor is she out of her mind."

"This is a kind of mental illness. In Daqin, people call this illness social phobia."

"Some people are born, some people are acquired. They are afraid of socializing and communicating with others, but they don't think so in their hearts. They still want to be recognized, but they are sick."

"So they can't communicate with people like a normal person."

"But Mr. Dugu, don't worry, this disease will not affect life. They can still work and eat."

"And when they are happy more and more, they will gradually open up, at least for their families, it will be much better."

Dugu Hong looked at Li Yun in a daze.

"This...Your Highness...is this true?"

Naturally, it is a fake. Daqin Kingdom doesn't know about social phobia at this time, but this disease is real.

It has been proved in later generations that this is indeed a mental illness.

Li Yun said indifferently: "Naturally it is true. This disease does exist. It's not that they are unwilling to communicate with others, but that they have no way to do it."

Dugu Hong's heart was broken at once, he believed that Li Yun would not lie to him about such a thing.

Moreover, the Great Qin State is a rich country comparable to the Great Tang Dynasty, and it is said that the founding of the country is longer than the Great Tang Dynasty.

He has endless regrets in his heart. He used to think that Dugu Yanjun was hypocritical, timid, and arrogant, so he was unwilling to communicate with other people.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that his daughter was sick, and she had no other choice.

His eyes turned red and he fell backwards.

Li Yun hurriedly supported Dugu Hong, "Mr. Dugu."

Dugu Hong said sadly: "Your Highness, I have wronged Yan Jun. I have always wronged her in the past. I thought it was because she was unwilling to communicate with others, and I often blamed her."

Li Yun sighed, "Mr. Dugu doesn't understand social phobia, it's justifiable, there is no need to apologize."

Dugu Hong was still very sad, he shook his head again and again.

"It's my fault, it's my fault."

After a while, Dugu Hong calmed down, "Your Highness wants to see Lord Yan today, please?"

Li Yun nodded, and then said: "I want to take Miss Dugu to meet Emperor Father, and let him see Miss Dugu's strength."

"Is Yan Jun really alright?"

"It doesn't matter," Li Yun said with a light smile: "Mr. Dugu, don't worry, after a few days, Miss Dugu will definitely be famous in the Tang Dynasty, and her strength will be recognized by everyone."

Dugu Hong glanced at Li Yun, and saw that Li Yun's eyes were open, and he didn't hide anything.

He secretly sighed in his heart, now it seems that Li Yun has no affection for Dugu Yanjun at all, he just sympathizes with Dugu Yanjun and wants to help.

He couldn't help but feel a little hot when he thought of his previous speculation about Li Yun.

After a while, the two came to Dugu Yanjun's studio.

Dugu Yanjun was painting, when he heard the voice, he turned around and saw Li Yun, his eyes lit up, and then he ran over, "Father, Mr. Mu."

Li Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Miss Dugu, I haven't seen you for a few days, has your painting improved?"

"Yes, Mr. Mu, come with me. I have some experience with the pencils you gave me. Can you see if I am using them correctly?"

Then she walked briskly, picked up a pencil and introduced her experience one by one.

Li Yun smiled and listened. After Dugu Yanjun finished speaking, he confirmed Dugu Yanjun's discovery, and then added some details.

He then pulled a stool and sat down, then took out the drawing board.

"This is called a drawing board, and I give it to you."

"I'll teach you how to use it, as well as some color-grading techniques."

Li Yun then sat down, picked up a pencil, and began to draw the small courtyard outside.

He picks up the brush very quickly, and at the same time draws very delicately, he looks like someone who often draws.

Compared with Dugu Yanjun's brushwork, Li Yun's brushwork is obviously more sophisticated, and the lines are softer.

Dugu Yanjun watched enviously.

Dugu Hong was also stunned. Looking at Li Yun's sketches, he realized that the landscape paintings originally drawn by sketches can also be so beautiful.

He was worried about Dugu Yanjun's painting style before, so he could only paint portraits, but now he was relieved.

At the same time, there was a burst of enthusiasm. If Dugu Yanjun really studied with Li Yun, maybe he could really achieve results in the future.

Not to mention the famous side, but at least it can leave a mark in the history of painting in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yun sketched out the approximate shape, and then began to color it. He explained while coloring.

He didn't hide anything, and he would say some interesting things when he talked, which made Dugu Yanjun laugh lightly.

Dugu Hong stood aside, quietly watching Li Yun and his daughter.

He was 100% sure that Dugu Yanjun had never been so relaxed like this time, she was so happy and calm at this moment.

He secretly sighed in his heart, maybe for Dugu Yanjun, as long as he could follow Li Yun, it would be the greatest happiness.
