I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing drew very carefully. Because there was no eraser, he had no chance to do it again. Once he made a mistake, the paper would be useless.

At the beginning, he thought about making the painting more realistic. If he wanted to paint like a photo...of course it would be impossible, but he could pursue that effect.

But after he started painting, he decisively lowered his requirements.

There is always a big gap between imagination and practice. Now he just hopes that people can see that this is a house and some special buildings.

In fact, even later generations just draw the outlines of the houses on the street to show where this place is.

Luo Shixing even painted the roof and part of the house from an oblique perspective to make the picture more intuitive.

Although the tree house is tall, it is impossible to really have a panoramic view of the county. In the end, Luo Shixing can only draw a part of it. No matter how far away it is, it is not a map but a realistic landscape painting.

After careful consideration, Wei Siwen thought about it and said, "The place on your map probably takes up [-]% of the size of the county."

Luo Shixing took a look, how big is this? It's only one-third of the county seat, which is probably too small.

I feel that although the administrative unit of Beidai County is relatively high, the area of ​​the county seat is the size of a village in later generations, and even larger villages and towns are larger than this.

Luo Shixing took two steps back and asked, "How does Wei Weng feel?"

Of course, Wei Siwen wouldn't say it was bad. In fact, Luo Shixing's ability to draw maps was already very good in his eyes.

Not everyone who can draw can draw a map. What is needed here is not even drawing skills, but judgment.

A powerful general can even use one finger to compare the mountain with other markers to determine the distance from his team to the mountain.

It's hard to say whether Luo Shixing has this ability, but his judgment on distance is really good.

In addition, Wei Siwen was also very greedy for drawing boards.

This drawing board looks very flexible, and it is not very troublesome to carry it around, but it is a pity that the real painting cannot use this drawing board.

Traditional Chinese painting uses ink. When the ink is still wet on the paper, the paper cannot be lifted, otherwise it will flow down and the whole painting will be destroyed.

Not to mention painting on such a slanted drawing board.

I have to say that Luo Shixing's use of charcoal is a very good way. The drawing board should have been designed by himself, and I don't know how this kid came up with it. This is not only a talent, but a genius!

Luo Shixing also heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Wei Siwen nodding, and said, "I'll show it to Da Ling when I get back."

"Already painted?"

As soon as Luo Shixing finished speaking, Alzhen's voice came over. When he walked in with his hands behind his back, he happened to hear Luo Shixing's words.

Luo Shixing put down the charcoal pencil and said, "It's roughly the same. If you want to be more detailed, you can refine it."

Wei Siwen said from the side: "My subordinates think this is just right, and the refinement is just adding some details, and there is no further strengthening of the map as a whole. What does Daling think?"

However, Alezhen didn't answer Wei Siwen after he finished speaking.

Because at this time, Alezhen's eyes were straightened, and he even reached out to touch the drawing paper.

Luo Shixing quickly said: "Be careful, the charcoal pencil is easy to fade."

Alezhen retracted his hand, looked at the toner in his hand and said thoughtfully: "It's not true?"

Luo Shixing sweated profusely after hearing this: "This... this is a painting, of course it's not real."

Al really took a long breath and said: "I just saw that I thought you put the county town in the paper."

After hearing this, Luo Shixing was stunned for a moment, and he glanced at the map again, a little puzzled: This is not so similar.

At this moment, Luo Shixing was deeply worried about Alezhen's aesthetic ability. The ethnic minorities may not have developed so well culturally, but many ethnic minorities are good at art. They can sing and dance well, and the rock paintings and murals are very good Excellent, Ale really... Don't you have no expertise in this area?

In fact, it’s just that he doesn’t feel like it. The paintings these days are not really realistic, and the ethnic minorities can see this from their pottery figurines, which are very exaggerated and abstract.

It's not that they don't want to be realistic, it's just that they don't allow it in terms of skills and techniques, and the current people's aesthetics determine the expressiveness of art.

So Luo Shixing's painting was already very real in his eyes. In addition to the lack of color, Luo Shixing even marked out the trees. Although he didn't really draw a tree, the sign that resembled a pine tree itself was very image.

Wei Siwen laughed beside him and said, "If I hadn't seen the lynx cat draw it stroke by stroke with my own eyes, I'm afraid I would have thought that he used a secret method to put the county town into the paper."

Luo Shixing stood beside him with his toes on the ground, and he was most embarrassed when others praised him in front of his face, because he always felt that there was nothing else to say except thank you.

But this time he didn't have much psychological pressure, the painting was drawn by himself, and apart from not knowing what to say, Ale's real reaction gave him a sense of accomplishment.

After listening to Wei Siwen's words, Ale said flatly: "Didn't Wei Weng say that drawing a map is a secret method, could it be that Wei Weng also knows how to draw a lynx cat?"

Alzhen already regarded Luo Shixing as one of his own at this time, while Wei Siwen was an outsider. Didn't outsiders watching Luo Shixing's paintings steal the secret technique?

He was unhappy, very unhappy, he was too embarrassed to ask Luo Shixing to teach his people, why did Wei Siwen dare to stand aside and watch openly?

Besides, Wei Siwen didn't let his people come over, and just sat and watched by himself, which was too shameless.

If it weren't for the word "double label" these days, Alzhen would definitely have pasted the word on Wei Siwen's forehead.

Wei Siwen has been working under him for several months, and as someone who used to work in the imperial court, his other abilities may be mediocre, but he still has an emotional intelligence to figure out the mood of his boss.

He immediately smiled bitterly and said: "I really don't know it, the main reason is that not everyone can learn this secret method. The process of drawing lynx cat has its own unique skills. If you don't understand the truth behind it, you can do it with him beside you You can’t draw such a picture with the same movement.”

After hearing this, Al really felt a little more comfortable, and at the same time was a little surprised: "It's so amazing?"

Luo Shixing looked at Wei Siwen, sighed in his heart, and just wanted to beg Wei Weng not to blow him up, and if he wanted to blow it up, don't blow it up in front of him?He was really embarrassed.

After all, it is difficult to say, and painting is not particularly difficult, it depends on two things, one is talent, and the other is practice.

People without talent can draw good paintings through a lot of practice, but it may be difficult to become a top painter.

He thinks that Wei Siwen will find it more difficult because his painting method is not compatible with the current painting system of traditional Chinese painting. This was more than 1000 years ago, and many traditional Chinese painting techniques did not appear.

Wei Siwen looked at it with the current way of thinking of Chinese painting, of course he couldn't understand it.

And Luo Shixing was indeed attacking with dimensionality reduction.

It might be easier if a person who has never learned painting and doesn't know anything about it comes to learn from him.

However, Luo Shixing didn't intend to explain. He knew why Wei Siwen praised him crazily. As the so-called rare goods can live in, he has this skill more than anything else, which makes Al really value it.

Once Ale really values ​​him, not only will his goal be easily achieved, but also his life with Cheng Jingwei will reduce the resistance from above.

Al really didn't know whether to believe Wei Siwen's words, and he didn't pursue so much, mainly because there was no way to pursue it.

People just say they don't know how to do it, so what else can he do?

If he were another person, he would have a hundred ways to make people tell the truth, but now...he still needs Wei Siwen.

Luo Shixing is still young, and his Sinology accumulation is definitely not as good as that of Wei Siwen, so it is still very important to maintain a superficial harmony.

Ale really stretched out his hand and patted Luo Shixing's head and said: "Brother is really talented, well, you are tired after painting for a long time, take a rest first, let's see what brother brought you?"

As he spoke, he signaled the people around him to take the map away.

Luo Shixing couldn't help but said: "Charcoal pencils are easy to fade, it's best to have someone copy them, or else they should be framed and hung in a place that is not easy to be touched."

Also, it's fine if you take away the painting, why do you want to take away my drawing board?Shouldn't this be given to me?

Alezhen turned his head and gave some instructions to the servant next to him. The servant immediately responded, holding the drawing paper in both hands as if he was holding an imperial decree, and retreated, while the other attendant also moved the drawing board out.

Luo Shixing: ...

Forget it, if he wants to go back and ask Cheng Jingwei to make one for him!

At this time, another servant stepped forward to attract his attention.

The servant was holding a large tray in his hand, on which was a suit of clothes and some silver jewelry.

Alzhen said: "Tomorrow is the wedding ceremony between you and me. My brother has prepared a suit of clothes for you. Come and try to see if it fits."

Luo Shixing was quite flattered, he didn't expect that he still had new clothes to wear.

But think about it, anyway, Ale is really the county magistrate, he thinks his brother can't let his brother wear tattered clothes at the ceremony.

And his current clothes can barely cover his body, it doesn't count as good-looking, it's not ugly because of his face.

The clothes that Alezhen gave him were dark blue, with some white patterns on the sleeves and necklines, which looked a lot like batik.

I don't know what kind of fabric the clothes are made of, it's still light and thin, but there are too many bits and pieces, no matter how thin the clothes are, it won't cool down even if you wear them layer by layer.

Fortunately, it is late autumn and winter is about to enter, otherwise the clothes will definitely be hot to death in summer.

Also because it was too complicated, Luo Shixing put it on with the help of the servant the whole time.

After wearing it, he found that the cuffs of this suit were relatively large, but the length was similar to nine-quarter sleeves. The belt was made of long strips of cloth wrapped around his waist in layers, and a silver ornament in the shape of a leaf was pinned in the middle. The lower body is shorts, of course not too short, they also look like cropped pants, and they are still very fashionable wide-leg pants.

On the feet are leather shoes, the shape is very similar to straw sandals, but in order to reflect the status, the material is leather. Luo Shixing can't tell what kind of leather it is, but it feels very comfortable to step on.

In addition, silver jewelry almost runs through the whole outfit.

The buttons on the clothes are all made of silver, and all kinds of silver ornaments are worn after wearing the clothes.

The bracelet on the wrist, the collar on the neck, and even two silver rings on the ankle.

For a moment he felt as if he were a moving silver jewelry display—he had never carried so much jewelry in his entire life!

He touched the silver collar on his chest awkwardly and asked, "Is this... too much?"

I don't know how pure the silver is, but even if the purity is not high, it's still a lot of money, right?

Alezhen was very satisfied: "Not bad, not bad, I won't do my hair tonight, and I'll talk about it tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Luo Shixing couldn't help but look up at Alezhen's hair. He wouldn't... also need to get this little braid, right?

The next day, the maid sent to help him comb his hair told him with practical actions that yes, he also needed to braid his hair.

Not only is there a small braid, but each small braid is also mixed with some colored threads during the weaving process, and many small red beads are tied on the colored threads.

Luo Shixing has always been curious about the material of those small beads on Ale's real head. They don't look like gems, but their colors are very bright.

At first, he thought it was a small bead made of stone and then dyed it. After picking up one and observing it, he found that it should be a bone bead made of an unknown animal bone, and then dyed it to become a headgear.

I have to say that even if his hair is not long, it took a lot of time to finish the braid.

These braids are finally tied into a ponytail at the back of the head, and the colored threads and bone beads are also included, which feels quite special.

Not to mention, Luo Shixing's face can really hold up to any shape, even if it's ethnic minority costumes, he doesn't feel uncomfortable wearing them.

When he went out to join Alezhen, they looked as if they were real brothers except for the big difference in skin color.

Al was really satisfied with his appearance, patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go."

While talking, he put a tiger head cap on him.

Luo Shixing supported the tiger hat and said, "You don't need to wear this one, do you?"

Since you want to wear a tiger head hat, you don't need to do any hairstyle from the beginning, just tie it up casually?No one could see it anyway.

Especially with a bunch of small beads on his head as a decoration, if it is to cover it up, it shouldn't be so troublesome from the beginning.

What's more, he has a ponytail tied behind his head, and because of the colored threads and bone beads, the ponytail is much thicker than usual, so it's really not suitable for wearing a tiger head hat.

But Alezhen insisted: "It's cold outside, you should take it with you, what if you get sick?"

Luo Shixing: ...

Isn't it cold because your ceremony has to be held after dark?

I don't know what's wrong with these people, everyone wants to weld the tiger head cap on his head!
