The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 269
[Chapter 269 Trail]
“Sketch?”
Master Wu had a look of confusion on his face.
Fang Xiu explained: “It’s just a name. You can also call it something else. It’s just a way of painting.”
Master Wu had a thoughtful expression on his face when he heard this.
After a while, he strengthened his determination to become a disciple. He looked at Fang Xiu and said, “General Fang, please accept me as your disciple.
As long as you accept me as your disciple, I can do anything you want me to do.”
Fang When Xio heard this, the expression on his face became a little strange.
No matter how I heard this, I felt that something was wrong, especially when it was said by such a bad old man who was over fifty years old.
When Master Wu saw Fang Xiu’s expression, he thought he was not prepared to agree to him, so he gritted his teeth and was about to say something.
When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he suddenly felt awkward.
He thought about it and realized that he had already accepted a disciple. According to common sense, it would not be a big deal to accept another one.
However, his status as a disciple is somewhat special. If he accepts another disciple like that, it would be inappropriate in terms of status and status.
However, seeing Master Wu lowering his body and pleading with himself at such a young age, Fang Xiu felt very sorry for himself.
After struggling for a while, he finally came up with a compromise method and said: “In this way, since you want to learn sketching with me, there is no problem.
When I am free, I will guide you for a while, but we Not as a master and disciple, but as a student, how about?”
Master Wu heard this, and his old face showed doubts.
What is the difference between a student and a master and apprentice?
Could it be that General Fang meant the apprentice?
Thinking of this, Master Wu’s old face showed a look of embarrassment.
As a great painter, if he opens his door to accept apprentices, countless painters from the entire Chu Kingdom will come here to worship him, fall at his feet, and beg him to become his master.
Why do you want to be someone else’s apprentice now?
Not even qualified to become someone else’s apprentice?
When Master Wu thought of this, he felt a sense of humiliation in his heart.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment, and he figured it out.
This sketching method is a completely new way of painting. When drawing a painting, it can be said to be a groundbreaking new initiative.
If it develops greatly, it may not be able to become a major painting method alongside ink painting, and it may even surpass ink painting in terms of status. By then, I will be a figure who will go down in history.
You know, although his paintings are highly praised in Chu State and his status in the world of painters is also very high, in the long history of history, they are nothing.
Compared with painting saints and painting immortals, his paintings can only be regarded as eye-catching and not worth mentioning.
If you want to go further and leave your name in the long river of history, you have to find a new way.
This so-called ‘sketch’ is the best opportunity to leave your name in history.
Thinking of this, Master Wu finally stopped hesitating, walked to Fang Xiu, and bowed respectfully. At the same time, he said in a solemn voice: “Apprentice Wu Dao is willing to stay with Master Fang and be an apprentice. Follow Master Fang and learn the art of sketching!”
Fang Xiu was a little confused when he heard this.
My intention was to let him learn painting with me, which was not wrong, but when did I let him be a little apprentice?
What he calls students is relative to future generations.
In that era, anyone with a skill could be someone else’s master.
The so-called “three people walking together, there must be a teacher”, this is the truth, and it is completely different from the low-status apprentice.
However, since Master Wu said this, he was too lazy to correct him. He just waved his hand and said casually: “Okay, I understand, you can get up.” When
Wu Dao heard this, he raised his head and said respectfully. He stood beside Fang Xiu.
That attitude was like that of a little follower.
If those painters saw it, they would definitely let out a burst of exclamation.
The dignified master of painting, Master Wu Daowu, was actually following a young man, and in such an almost humble manner,
not to mention others, Fang Xiu himself felt a little awkward.
Bai Xiaochun is fine standing in this position, but where is Master Wu?
If nothing else, let’s just say that Master Wu is so old and looks old, standing behind him, it feels strange and awkward.
But Master Wu doesn’t care about this. What he cares about is the sketch. Law.
Now that he has accepted Fang Xiu as his master, he must fulfill the obligations of an apprentice. In his opinion, as an apprentice, there is nothing inappropriate in standing behind his master.
On the side, Zhao Yan felt a little awkward when she saw this scene. She reached out and tugged on the corner of Fang Xiu’s clothes, leaned into his ear, and whispered: “Master Wu is old, let him follow you.” Isn’t it inappropriate to be a little apprentice beside you, serving tea and water?”
Fang Xiu was a little confused when he heard this, and asked: “When did I ask him to serve tea and water? “
After finishing speaking, I thought about it, and as an apprentice, isn’t it normal to serve tea and pour water?
So, he turned around and looked at Wu Dao who was standing behind him, and ordered: “Xiao Dao, although you are an apprentice, you are already old. If there is anything in the future, you don’t have to do it.
I really need you to do something .
If you want to help me, I will send someone to tell you. If nothing happens during this period, you can stay in the palace and continue to work on your previous affairs.”
Zhao Yan and Xiu’er both felt extremely awkward when they heard this “little way”. .
Wu Dao didn’t seem to take it to heart. Instead, he showed a look of panic and asked: “Master Fang, but Xiaodao did something wrong that made you unhappy.
As long as I can learn sketching from your side, Xiaodao will It’s not a big deal if it’s a bit hard and a bit tiring.
Master Fang, don’t look at it. Xiaodao is now old and seems to be dying. When he was young, he did a lot of physical work. When he was painting for the gentry, he often did one or two. There is no time to rest.
Now, even though he is older, he has no problem doing the work of serving tea and water, and he will never complain at all.
“
Zhao Yan saw this !
In one scene, I felt like the world was spinning and the whole world had changed.
She even had some doubts as to whether the humble Taoist in front of her was the Wu Dao Master she knew. You
must know that even in front of his father, Master Wu was not so humble. He was really just like an apprentice. !
Fang Xiu didn’t expect that the old man would assume the role of apprentice so quickly. He smiled awkwardly and said, “That’s not what I meant. As a master of landscape painting, you enjoy a very high reputation all over the world. If others find out that you are a little apprentice beside me, won’t I be scolded by everyone in the world?”
