Jiang Miaogang wanted the two of them to go into the main room. Xu Ziwen saw the portrait on the bedside through the crack in the door. The portrait of Shen Yanqing was so lifelike. If Shen Yanqing hadn't been standing in front of him, Xu Ziwen would have thought he had seen the real person.
"Then...then...am I being blinded? Why is Brother Shen on the wall?"
Xu Ziwen thought he had seen a ghost and turned pale. Shen Yanqing rolled his eyes slightly, knowing that he had seen it wrong.
"That's my portrait."
"Are you kidding? How can any portrait be so lifelike?" Xu Ziwen didn't believe it. He wanted to see it with his own eyes.
"Brother Shen..." Xu Ziwen smiled ingratiatingly, reached out to hold his arm and swung it around. Shen Yanqing was so annoyed by him that he had a headache.
"Wait."
"Okay!" Xu Ziwen was satisfied and immediately let go of his hand. Jiang Miao was amused by the showdown between the two. Xu Langjun and Shen Yanqing had completely opposite personalities. One was enthusiastic and the other was cold, but they got along with each other. They were extremely harmonious. Although Shen Yanqing said she disliked him, he was the only good friend in the past few years.
Xu Zilan was shocked by her brother's shamelessness. It was enough for the Shen family not to kick them out, but her brother had to go even further.
"Ms. Jiang, I'm sorry..."
Jiang Miao smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay."
"That's right, Brother Shen and sister-in-law don't care, you're the only one who talks a lot!" Xu Ziwen glanced at Xu Zilan proudly, but Xu Zilan stared back in disgust.
"Shut up, wait until I get home and tell my parents. Will they scold you?"
"Humph, I will file a complaint!"
Xu Ziwen was most afraid of Father Xu and immediately did not dare to say anything.
Shen Yanqing came out of the room with the portrait and carefully placed it in his hand for Xu Ziwen to see.
"Here."
"This is exactly the same as a real person!"
Xu Ziwen looked shocked and couldn't believe his eyes. He wanted to touch it, but Shen Yanqing hurriedly took a step back to avoid his touch.
"You can only look at it, but you can't touch it!"
"Okay, okay..." Xu Ziwen nodded repeatedly. He could understand Shen Yanqing's thoughts. He was not willing to let others touch such a famous painting, and would not let others see it. Shen Yanqing even took it out for them to appreciate. Consider them your best friends.
Xu Ziwen looked at Shen Yanqing with moved eyes. Shen Yanqing frowned tightly, wondering where he was thinking.
"Have you finished reading?" After finishing reading, he put it back in the room.
"No!" Xu Ziwen quickly calmed down and concentrated on admiring the portrait.
"It's amazing. It's amazing. I've never seen such a realistic portrait in my whole life. Even the small moles on a person's face are clearly drawn. It's like they were copied from the face!"
Xu Ziwen clicked his tongue in amazement, and Xu Zilan was also filled with amazement. This was the first time she had seen such a magical portrait. If it hadn't been for Shen Yanqing, she would have bought it at her own risk.
“I don’t know which master’s painting this is, but I also want him to paint one!”
Xu Ziwen's heart was filled with excitement. Who wouldn't want to have a self-portrait, especially with such a handsome face? It would be a pity not to leave any portrait.
"Miaoya painted it." Shen Yanqing sounded a little proud, and he was even happier when others praised Jiang Miao than when he praised himself.
"sister in law?"
Xu Ziwen and Xu Zilan were both shocked. This portrait was actually painted by Jiang Miao.
"Is there anything else in this world that my sister-in-law can't do?" The cooking is as good as that of the royal chef, and now the portrait is so good. Xu Ziwen has no love for him. He originally thought that it would be just a feast for the evildoers, but now even Jiang Miao can do it. Such perverts are worthy of the couple, one is more powerful than the other.
Jiang Miao looked at the shocked faces of the two brothers and sister, pursed her lips and smiled.
"This is very simple. Anyone with a little bit of painting skills can learn it, as long as they master the skills."
The two were half convinced. If it was so simple, why had no one drawn it before her? Xu Ziwen and Xu Zilan thought she was being modest.
Jiang Miao shook her head inwardly. No one painted it because the painting methods of each school were different. The popular fine brushwork and freehand brushwork in ancient China paid more attention to the charm.
Western sketches focus on realism, and strive to be real in every painting. They feel fresh because they have never seen it before. Jiang Miao said that she prefers fine brushwork paintings, which do not pursue similar shapes and have natural expressions.
"Sister-in-law, if you want to paint one for me, I can pay for it!"
Xu Ziwen said coquettishly, but before Jiang Miao could agree, Shen Yanqing pushed him away.
“What a beautiful thought!”
Shen Yanqing was not willing to let Jiang Miao paint on other men, even his best friend.
Jiang Miao helplessly spread her hands, expressing her powerlessness, while Xu Ziwen drooped his head, completely devastated.
"Cheapskate!"
"Ms. Jiang, can you teach me how to draw?"
Xu Zilan was moved and asked out loud. She had no other hobbies except painting. Jiang Miao was a rare painter. She was delighted to see her and wanted to learn from her.
"OK."
Jiang Miao smiled and agreed that the realistic painting method is still very helpful in tracing people, investigating, and medical human body research, and she is willing to teach sketching to more people.
Xu Zilan lamented Jiang Miao's grandeur. She never seemed to know how to hide her secrets and was willing to teach others everything she knew. Xu Zilan secretly sighed in her heart that the most worthy person to associate with among her many friends was Jiang Miao.
After looking at the portrait, they went to the main room to have snacks. Jiang Miao served them red bean milk tea, matcha mousse and puffs, which they had never tasted before.
"Sister-in-law, did you make new snacks again?"
Xu Ziwen couldn't wait to take a sip of the milk tea. The red beans were soft and sweet, and the milk tea was mellow and delicate, and it was smooth in the mouth.
"What is this? It tastes good."
The Xu family all like sweets, and Xu Ziwen drank most of the bowl in one go before stopping.
"Milk tea, made with milk and black tea."
"There is such a way to do it." Xu Ziwen only knew that tea can be soaked in water and drunk. This was the first time he saw this way of eating. He lowered his head and took a few more sips, liking the taste of milk tea more and more.
"Try this again. It's also made of tea leaves." Jiang Miao pointed to the matcha mousse on the plate in front of him.
"Oh?" Xu Ziwen took a bite with a spoon and put it into his mouth. The cake was rich in tea aroma, but there was no bitterness of tea leaves. Xu Ziwen's eyes lit up.
"It's delicious. My sister-in-law's cooking is so good!" Xu Ziwen gave a thumbs up, and Jiang Miao was happy to see that they liked it.
"Then you eat more. If it's not enough, I'll go get it."
"good!"
Xu Zilan had a smaller appetite and was almost full after eating one piece. She wiped her mouth, held Jiang Miao's hand and said.
"I came here not only to pay New Year greetings, but also for something else."
"Where are you going, Mrs. Xu?" Jiang Miao asked. Didn't she just want to learn painting from her?
"Go to the capital..." Xu Zilan paused, a little shy in a rare sight.
"My parents asked me to go to the capital to visit with my aunt. Mrs. Jiang should also go to the capital soon. We will see you in the capital then." After all, the time for Shen Yanqing's scientific examination is getting closer.
Jiang Miao didn't expect this. Xu Zilan was just fifteen or sixteen years old. She always felt that she was still a girl, but in ancient times, she was already at an age where she could get married. Jiang Miao suppressed the emotions in her heart and shook her hand. hand.
