Living and working in peace and contentment through the past and the present

Since he just became a teacher, An Zhuo was very excited. Even though he was crushed by Ruan Li twice yesterday, he was in good spirits. He woke Ruan Li up early in the morning, and said with bright eyes, "Ruan Li Li, get up, accompany me to buy painting tools."

"Hmm~" Ruan Li snorted, and pulled En Zhuo into her arms, "Fool, the store isn't open yet."

"Ah?" An Zhuo was stunned, thinking that it is indeed only after seven o'clock, and the earliest shops in the city open at nine o'clock. I used to get up early in the countryside, and I had to travel a long way to buy things, so I got used to it. wake him up early.An Zhuo couldn't help scratching his head, smiled and shrank back into Ruan Li's arms, "I used to get used to it."

"You..." Ruan Li rubbed the top of An Zhuo's hair lovingly, "Sleep again, there is plenty of time."

"Ah."

This time, Ruan Li couldn't fall asleep. He thought, if An Zhuo was going to buy painting tools, the Art District is the best place to go. There are a lot of things related to artworks there. Since he went to the Art District, he wanted to pick two paintings. The paintings were sent to Yun Lianxuan. The paintings at home were all painted when he was in the country. He wanted to keep some of them for his own collection. There were not many paintings at home to send over, so he decided to get up and paint a small painting.

Ruan Li got out of bed lightly, made breakfast first, and then called everyone up to eat. After the meal, Anzhuo wanted to clean up the dishes, but Ruan Li would not let him do anything, and immediately put the dishes away quickly. clean up.During this period, Yu Chi was a idler.

After everything was packed, Ruan Li took out all the painting tools and put them on the table to prepare for painting.Yu Chi regained his energy now, leaning on the sofa and watching Ruan Li draw.

When Ruan Li was painting, An Zhuo took a look at the fan and found that there were only two fans left, so he took out the materials for making the fan. Although he couldn't make a complete fan, he knew how to do it very well. Fan bone.The two are doing their own things in a tacit understanding, occasionally looking at each other, with an indescribable warmth.

Time passed quickly, and Ruan Li had already finished a small painting, which was a figure.Landscape painting is the best in traditional Chinese painting, followed by portraits of people, flowers, birds, bamboo and stones, and animals, insects and fish.Small paintings are not suitable for painting majestic landscapes. Characters are the best choice. The characters in Ruan Li's paintings are quite vivid, lifelike, and beautiful in posture.

Yu Chi clapped his hands and applauded. It was the first time for him to meet someone who painted Chinese paintings so vividly. After many years abroad, he had also seen some exchange exhibitions where he claimed to be a master of Chinese painting, but he never liked the paintings of those people. Something is missing in the painting, he doesn't understand traditional Chinese painting, but he knows that Ruan Li's paintings are very good, this is probably due to the unique sensitivity of the artist or the difference in judgment.

Yu Chi admired sincerely, "Your paintings are placed in China, and I am afraid that few people can match you. No wonder Duan Yunlian dares to guarantee that one of your paintings is worth [-]. It seems that Duan Yunlian is not only It's a businessman."

Ruan Li put down the pen and waited for the painting to dry. He took the fan bone made by An Zhuo and polished it carefully, saying, "Duan Yunlian has a scholarly atmosphere, and I'm afraid she is an insider."

"I'm curious, since Ruan Li is so good at painting, An Zhuo, why don't you learn Chinese painting from him?"

"I like the bright and bright colors of oil paintings, which are fierce." An Zhuo smiled and took the fan bones polished by Ruan Li to punch holes, "The colors of traditional Chinese paintings are not suitable for me."

Yu Chi smiled slightly, "That's true." Although he didn't have much contact with An Zhuo, he could feel that An Zhuo had a stronger temper. He looked at Ruan Li and thought, one strong, one gentle, It's a good match.

It's just... thinking of Ruan Li's cold eyes for a moment last night, Yu Chi was skeptical of Ruan Li's gentle temperament.

Ruan Li polished the fan bones, An Zhuo punched holes in the fan bones, and then Ruan Li fixed the fan handle. At this time, the painting was dry, Ruan Li put the fan first, took the mounting tools and prepared to mount the painting , An Zhuo opened the handle of the fan, and cut it to a suitable fan size.

After Ruan Li finished framing the painting, An Zhuo also cut out the fan and started to paste the fan.Ruan Li put away the painting, took over the work from An Zhuo, "I'll do it."

Ruan Li quickly finished the fan batter, looked at the time, and it was already 11:30 noon, Ruan Li planned to cook first, so he started to pack the utensils, An Zhuo stopped him, "Didn't you draw it yet, what do you do with it? ?”

Ruan Li smiled and asked, "It's already noon, aren't you hungry?"

"I'll cook, you'll do the painting, and we have to buy painting supplies in the afternoon." An Zhuo saw that Ruan Li wanted to stop him, and then said, "Cooking is not heavy work, it's okay, you can't stop letting me do a little bit in the future Come on, I'm not that delicate."

Ruan Li held An Zhuo's hand, and said gently to An Zhuo, "I'm worried about you, don't think about it, then today's meal will trouble you."

Afterwards, Ruan Li painted fan paintings, An Zhuo cooked, and when the meal was ready, Ruan Li's paintings were basically completed.After Ruan Li finished a complete fan, An Zhuocai and Ruan Li cleaned up the things on the table and served the food. When the two of them served the food, Yu Chi played with the fan made by Ruan Li, carefully After taking a look, Yu Chi asked, "Ruan Li, you haven't finished your fan yet, have you?"

"It's finished." Ruan Li said as she sat down to serve the last dish.

"There is no seal on your fan, that is to say, your fan has not been signed."

"Payment? It's not necessary."

In fact, in the Song Dynasty and before the Song Dynasty, people's awareness of signing was quite weak, and many works were not signed. Ruan Li was a saint of painting, but he could sign, but only for the paintings he sold or gave away. On the above, like small items, he never signed.

"It is necessary." Yu Chi closed his fan and said lightly, "Only when the signature is signed, people will know that it is yours, and they will admit that it is yours. This piece cannot be saved."

Hearing what Yu Chi said, Ruan Li frowned in thought, it seems that he also had to get a seal. "When I go to buy painting tools, I'll buy a piece of jade and engrave a seal. It's not difficult."

After lunch, Ruan Li and An Zhuo packed up and prepared to go out.Before they were about to leave, Yu Chi threw them a piece of paper, which was a list of oil painting equipment, which was very detailed and complete, even listing all the brands.

The two first sent the paintings to be sold to Yun Lianxuan, and it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at Yun Lianxuan. The store manager personally received them, and Ruan Li also brought the fans. After selling it at Yunlianxuan, the others are simply borrowed and sold here, which can save him a lot of time, and he can paint well in the spare time.

The store manager couldn't put it down for the fans and small paintings that Ruan Li took out, and promised to help Ruan Li sell them at a good price.He has rarely seen such a finely crafted fan, coupled with paintings, the fan can be said to be the best of the best.

After coming out of Jun Lian Xuan, Ruan Li and An Zhuo strolled leisurely in the art district. They didn't buy all the oil painting utensils until five o'clock in the afternoon. Naturally, Ruan Li also bought the materials for the seal.After buying everything, Ruan Li was afraid that An Zhuo would be too tired, so she went home directly.

Time passed quickly, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, An Zhuo has passed the dangerous period of the fetus, and the fetus is very healthy. During this period, he followed Yu Chi to learn oil painting. He was quite attentive and enthusiastic like never before. In just over a month, I have become familiar with all kinds of basic information of oil painting.During the period of learning to paint, An Zhuo often forgot that she was pregnant.

During the period, the three of them would go out to sketch together. There are many beautiful places in city B, as well as many places of interest. Yu Chi took An Zhuo to paint oil paintings, and Ruan Li waited on An Zhuo while painting.

Of course, An Zhuo has not been comfortable for more than a month, and the pregnancy reaction is still very strong. Whenever An Zhuo is sad, it is when Ruan Li suffers. Whenever An Zhuo feels uncomfortable, he takes his anger on Ruan Li. There is no way , who told Ruan Li to be the chief culprit for making him feel uncomfortable?Whenever An Zhuo was in distress, Ruan Li took care of An Zhuo, and he didn't care that An Zhuo vented his anger on him, he was very happy, who told him that it was his and An Zhuo's child?He doesn't love the child, his father, who does he love?

But fortunately, Yu Chi was there, and he would arrange some food suitable for pregnant women. An Zhuo didn't suffer so many times, and Ruan Li didn't suffer so many times.

The relationship between Ruan Li and An Zhuo is getting deeper and deeper, and Yu Chi has also established a deep friendship and mentoring relationship with them. Although Yu Chi is becoming more and more like the full-time nanny of An Zhuo's family, he is more than happy to be like this Simple and crisp life.

The days were spent in harmony among the three of them, and then, An Zhuo's first fetal movement was ushered in...
