antique on the run

Saiwei didn't know what Qi Xiao was thinking, and after finishing speaking, he picked up the rag and continued to wipe the table. He seemed to be in a good mood, humming an unknown tune.

Qi Xiao squatted aside, looking at his figure and lost in thought.

For some reason, Sever gave him a very strange feeling.

Since Saiwei said last night that he didn't intend to find the earliest cherry blossom in Kyoto, Qi Xiao felt that he had underestimated this person's ability.Today, Sai Wei once again violated Xia Chuan Qingquan's will, and the strangest thing is that he didn't even ask Qi Xiao's opinion when making this decision...

Qi Xiao is not arrogant, but he is very clear about his status in the antique hunting world, and he doesn't even care about his opinions. Either he is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or he has full self-confidence and is sure that what he does is not afraid of tigers. It will make a big mistake and lead to the failure of the final pursuit.

Qi Xiao squinted his eyes. Director Derrick expected him to catch these three antiques back to save the situation. He probably wouldn't send someone who doesn't understand anything to slow him down. It's against the rules, but they all happen to take advantage of the loopholes in the perspective of antiques.

He doesn't look like a newcomer who needs to observe and learn, but rather like an experienced veteran pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

"Qi Xiao? Qi Xiao?"

Sai Wei's voice came from next to his ear, Qi Xiao was shocked, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Sai Wei's magnified smiling face approaching him, and asked: "What are you thinking? I have called you so many times. no response."

Qi Xiao blinked, ignored him, and jumped off the low table with a flick of his tail.

The long, fluffy tail brushed against Saiwei's cheek, not hurting at all, but rather itchy.Saiwei touched his face, but he didn't know what happened to the cat, was it awkward?

But I didn't even kiss him...

It is really harder to understand how a cat is arrogant than a human being.

Sewe shrugged and decided that it would be better not to go up to the kitten when it was throwing a tantrum.His eyes glanced at Xiachuan Qingquan's unfinished oil painting inadvertently, he thought for a while, and walked over.

To say that Xia Chuanqingquan's painting skills are still good, whether it is composition or coloring, it is remarkable, but he left the Netherlands too early after all, he has not yet learned the painting skills of oil painting, and his personal style has not yet formed. Here in Japan No one could give him further guidance, so what he drew ended up lacking some fire.

Sewei habitually poked the end of the paintbrush on his chin, gestured at the oil painting with his fingers, and hooked the corner of his mouth——

start!

Painting an oil painting is not an easy task. From the beginning of the sketch to the layer-by-layer paint, using an oil painting knife to pile up the colors...a good oil painting often takes many days to build slowly.

But Saiwei won't take that long. Xia Chuanqingquan has already painted most of it. He only needs to fill in the remaining missing places, and then make some slight changes to those obviously unnatural and uncoordinated places.

As an aristocrat, he was trained by a professional oil painting teacher since he was a child, and his oil painting skills are still very solid.What's more, the level of oil painting in Japan in this era is completely incomparable with that in Europe. It's not that Saiwei is boasting, he just pastes a picture and put it here, it can become a masterpiece.

It took him three hours to finish the painting, and it was just after twelve o'clock when he stopped painting.

Seve stretched his waist and rubbed his pantothenic shoulders, quite satisfied with his work.

"Qi Xiao, come and help me see how my painting is doing!"

The little cat was concentrating on studying how to write beautiful big characters, its paws trembled when it was startled by Sai Wei's words, and almost knocked over the ink on the side.

He ran over with a black cat face, but was stunned when he saw the oil painting.

Oil painting has completely changed its appearance.

Because Qingquan Xia Chuan left the Netherlands too early and lived in Japan for a long time, he was more or less influenced by Japanese culture in his thinking, so he brought some Japanese style with his pen and pen when painting.

Although the Japanese style is fresh and elegant, it is a bit strange to match it with authentic European art such as oil painting. It is like wearing a cheongsam but a peaked cap.

Seville is different. He was born in France and grew up in France. As an aristocrat, his oil painting teachers were all strictly selected, so he received the best education and came into contact with the purest European culture. His The painting looks smoother and more natural, whether it is color matching or line composition, it is more natural.

Although Qi Xiao doesn't know how to paint oil paintings, has he never eaten pork or seen a pig running?Putting two oil paintings together, he can still taste good or bad.

【Good painting】

Qi Xiao wanted to say this, but because he couldn't speak, he could only nod his head.He raised one of his paws to make a thumb shape, but unfortunately the cat's paws are not as easy to control as human hands. He tried for a long time to no avail, so he had to give up.

He resentfully wanted to retract his paws, but Sai Wei suddenly squatted down and asked, "What does this mean, Giveme5?"

As he said that, he stretched out his palm and hit the cat's paw with a smile.

Qi Xiao: "..."

He didn't mean it that way.

But forget it, that's what it means...

After being praised by Qi Xiao, Saiwei was in a very good mood. He took out two pieces of fresh meat floss pancakes from the big bag that Akiko brought for lunch. The piece of cake he made was cut into small pieces with a knife and placed on the plate, so that when he ate it, it wouldn't stick all over his face.

"If Xiao Yaxizi comes over these two days, you can ask her where you can sell oil paintings."

Saiwei has already begun to think about the beautiful life after being rich, "After we exchange the money, we can buy a lot of things, and I can buy you some fish. Do you like fish? We can also go out and find some taverns to try something new. When I came to Japan for the first time, I always felt that I should try authentic Japanese food, such as oden, sushi, etc. The French ones are too unauthentic..."

The French are romantic by nature. No matter where they are, what kind of difficulties and difficulties they face, they will never forget to enjoy life.

His idea is very good, but Qi Xiao just wants to say: You'd better save some money and find a teacher to learn how to make pottery plates first!

The afternoon sun in spring is warm and comfortable on the body.Because neither the person nor the cat was in the habit of taking a nap, Sai Wei took Qi Xiao out for a walk on the pretext of checking the surrounding environment while digesting food after a meal.

Half an hour later, Qi Xiao looked at the familiar stone tablet with the words "Hanjian Xiaolu" written in front of him, and was speechless for a long time.

Didn't you say you want to inspect the surrounding environment? Why did you come here again?

In fact, Saiwei didn't want to come to Huajian Xiaolu, but he only knew this one road. In order to prevent blindly turning to places he didn't know and not being able to return, he...he detoured here again.

It was about the time when the geisha were taking their lunch break, and there were not many people on the path, except for a few geisha sitting in twos and threes on the long wooden benches by the roadside basking in the sun.They wore loose and comfortable bathrobes, removed the thick heavy makeup on their faces, and showed young and delicate faces, looking fresh and natural... At least in Qi Xiao and Sai Wei's eyes, it is still more comfortable to look like this now, They really can't accept the Japanese aesthetics of geisha...

"mum?"

【Are you going to find Sakura? 】

Qi Xiao raised his head and called out to Saiwei, but unfortunately Saiwei obviously failed to understand him this time and looked at him in confusion.

Sure enough, the tacit understanding is not enough.

Qi Xiao thought for a while, raised one paw and pointed in the direction of Xiaoxi's house, then pulled out Sai Wei's palm and drew a question mark on it with a soft pad, then looked up and waited quietly for his answer .

This time Saiwei understood, when Qi Xiao's paw was about to leave his palm, he pretended not to care and held it suddenly, squeezed it lightly, and then refused to let go.

"Not going to Xiaoxi's house."

He is not Xia Chuan Qingquan, he is full of eyes and sees only one cherry blossom, it is rare to have a chance to come out to relax, why do he have to go up and add trouble to himself?

Saiwei answered Qi Xiao's question while playing with the kitten's paw: "We'll just stroll around here and bask in the sun, well, it's here."

As he spoke, he walked to the empty bench under the willow tree by the side of the road and sat down, putting Qi Xiao on his lap.

The sun shone warmly on the body, and a few crisp birdsong could be heard faintly in the air. After calming down, it seemed that I could still smell a faint fragrance. It should be unknown wild flowers blooming on the side of the road.

Compared with the delicate cherry blossoms, the vitality of these wild flowers is obviously more tenacious.

Sai Wei leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, raised his head and took a deep breath, revealing a slender neck.

His face was serene, and his light golden long hair fell behind him like a waterfall, shining softly in the sun, as serene as a picture scroll.

A handsome man sitting on a bench with a cute kitten basking in the sun, no matter where it is placed, this scene will inevitably attract women's attention.

The geishas sitting on the nearby benches soon discovered the existence of Sai Wei, they covered their mouths together and discussed in a low voice, their eyes glanced this way from time to time, and their cheeks would blush if they happened to meet Sai Wei looking over .

No way, foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes are really rare in Japan. Although Sai Wei used to come to Hanami Koji often, but in the past, he always hurried straight to Konishi’s house when he came, and everyone even said hello. Impossible, this time he finally sat outside basking in the sun, how could he not read enough books!

It felt that more and more eyes were focused on him, and even many geishas were called out of the house by other geishas, ​​watching quietly while covering their mouths and laughing non-stop, Sewi couldn't sit still.

He coughed twice, touched his nose uncomfortably, and whispered in Qi Xiao's ear: "It seems that there are more people, or... shall we go?"

A flattering smile unconsciously appeared on his face, Qi Xiao squinted at him for a while, with a cat face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and finally nodded slowly.

Saiwei stood up and left quickly as if he was pardoned.

"Hey, why did he leave!"

"Don't go!"

There was a commotion among the geishas, ​​and some even raised their skirts to chase after them.But Saiwei is a man after all, with long hands and long legs, if he really wants to hide, how can he be overtaken by these women who can't even walk.

He specially ran to the fork in the small road where there were no people, and when he ran to a place where the benches and geisha were completely out of sight, he stopped to breathe a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead by the way.

The eyes of those girls are too revealing, even if he grew up in romantic and open France, he couldn't stand it.

He walked too fast just now, and he was still a little short of breath at the moment, so he hugged Qi Xiao and walked slowly on the path to calm down his breathing.

He no longer dared to just sit on the side of the road!

"Mr. Xia Chuan~"

There was a crisp call from behind, full of surprises in the voice.

Sewe froze—

He clearly threw everyone away just now, why did he catch up so quickly!

He didn't dare to turn around, and subconsciously quickened his pace, trying to pretend he didn't hear it and leave quickly, but he didn't notice that the ears of the kitten in his arms moved when he heard the shout.

This voice...is a bit familiar.
