Fabricio Wang didn't wander around outside, but went directly back to Baoli Market.
It was in the morning, which was the busiest time for the Li family, because they had to wash all the ingredients and string them up now, and then their business hours would start at four o'clock in the afternoon.
Therefore, Fabricio Wang simply said hello to them and went upstairs.
When he arrived at the guest room, he first poured a bowl of warm water, and then took out all the four treasures of the study.
First lay out the rice paper and hold it down with a paperweight...
This paperweight was given by the owner of Zangzhen Pavilion. It was very cheap and not valuable at all, but it didn't matter. In Fabricio Wang's current situation... he was not qualified to pursue too much.
Then he picked up the warm water and poured most of it into the inkstone, while the rest was used to soak the brush.
The next step is to grind ink.
This is an extremely long and meticulous job, because only when the ink is completely ground and finely ground, there will be no particles when painting or writing. In addition, the ink in his hand is a new piece, which itself is hard. This requires even more patience.
During this process, Fabricio Wang inevitably had some murmurs in his heart.
"It would be nice if there was a girl here, red sleeves add fragrance, beauties grind ink..."
Unfortunately, in modern society, it is probably more difficult to find someone who can study ink than to find a girlfriend, so I’d better not think about it.
After pushing the ink for more than half an hour, Fabricio Wang took out the ink stick, took out the brush, and used a paper towel to absorb the water.
Finally, there is the dipping and licking and scraping of the pen.
When all the preparations were completed, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then started writing, and a line appeared on the rice paper.
The lines are thin and round, with no particles visible, and the ink is black but not scattered. It is condensed on the rice paper, as if it is naturally on it.
What's even more outrageous is that when anyone sees this line, the first thing that comes to mind is Dao Liumei.
It's a strange feeling, but absolutely true.
This is not over yet, the second and third strokes follow...
In less than ten minutes, a woman's face appeared on the page.
She has two very beautiful willow eyebrows and a pair of charming phoenix eyes. Under the high bridge of her nose, there are two fiery red lips that are slightly thicker but not ugly at all. Instead, they are full of charm and give people a sexy look, especially It's a beauty mark under the left corner of her lip, which highlights this feeling to the extreme.
If Muiel were here, she would definitely cover her lips and exclaim.
It looks like... it's so similar, but this is clearly a meticulous painting, how could it... how could it be so similar?
Little did they know that Fabricio Wang could be said to have integrated the life-long experience of all the calligraphers and painters of the past dynasties into one body. Could the paintings he created really be as simple as "images"?
His eyes fell on the empty phoenix eyes, and Fabricio Wang murmured softly: "Don't rush to put the eyes in a hurry, now...it's the time for magic transformation!"
After he finished speaking, he began to add hair to the beauty in the picture.
But when he got here, he couldn't be realistic anymore, so he painted it according to the flying fairy bun.
The so-called flying fairy bun is a high bun on both sides. This hairstyle began in the Han Dynasty and was mostly used in paintings of fairies and girls who had not left the palace.
In addition, add some hair accessories.
Not much, but extremely exquisite, and everything is just right.
Next, there is the body and clothing. He has already thought about this, so the writing is like a spirit, and it can be said that there is no stagnation for a moment.
And with every stroke of the pen, a Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl with a pipa in her arms and fluttering clothes gradually appeared on the paper.
Beautiful, fairy, without any fireworks. If you insist on describing it, it seems like it should belong in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. She should be one of the flying immortals in Dunhuang, and should not be in the human world.
Until the last two points fell into the eyes of the person in the painting, an even more astonishing scene appeared.
Because the Nine Heavens Profound Girl in the painting seems to have come alive. No matter you look at it from any angle, you feel like you are looking at her affectionately.
For a time, even Fabricio Wang himself was fascinated.
Almost subconsciously, he wrote the inscription.
"As graceful as a startled dragon, as graceful as a wandering dragon.
I have seen it in person, completely defeated Song Yu, imagined Gaotang..."
Her figure is as graceful as a flying geese, and as graceful as a swimming dragon.
I have personally seen people who are more beautiful than those in "Gaotang Fu".
Putting down the pen, Fabricio Wang stood there blankly. After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh.
Maybe...even I will be hard-pressed to draw better pictures of beauties than this one in the future.
But when he gave it to Muiel, he didn't feel reluctant to part with it at all.
With a chuckle, Fabricio Wang moved a little, but almost fell down. He finally managed to hold on to the chair and stand still. He was shocked to find out...
It's dark outside.
Not only that, there was actually someone standing behind him, so he said: "Eichen..."
Holy shit?
What happened to my voice? Why is it so hoarse?
Fortunately, this sound woke up Eichen Li. She was surprised and happy and said: "brother Fabricio, you finally came to your senses. Thank God, you scared me to death."
Holding back the waves of dizziness coming from his brain, Fabricio Wang said in a hoarse voice: "I...what's going on? And, you, how did you come here?"
"You're still talking about it."Eichen Li handed him a glass of water and said in a slightly complaining tone: "Do you know what time it is now? Three o'clock in the morning!"
"What!?"
Fabricio Wang exclaimed: "Three o'clock in the morning?"
"yes."
Eichen Li said: "I came here at noon. I wanted to call you to eat, but you were busy painting and couldn't seem to hear anything. I called you for a long time and you ignored me."
"I came here several times after that, and you were always like this. If you hadn't been moving and it didn't seem like there was much of a problem, I would have almost wanted to call 120.
Fabricio Wang smiled bitterly.
No wonder I feel dizzy and my throat is so uncomfortable. It took me 14 hours to work on this painting of mine?
And as expected, he should have sunk all his attention into it. It can be said that he worked so hard that he even exhausted his profound energy.
But if you can produce such a painting, it will be all worth it.
Li Dan followed his gaze, hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but asked softly: "brother Fabricio, is she... is she a figment of your imagination?"
Fabricio Wang shook his head and forced a smile: "No, she is Xiaolan's savior. This painting is the repayment gift I plan to give her. How about it? Do you think she will like it?"
Fang's heart suddenly trembled, and Eichen Li asked uneasily: "You, you like her?"
"How can it be?"
Fabricio Wang laughed and said, "I have only met her once. I don't even know whether she is married or not. How can I like her so much? Don't talk nonsense."
His smile instantly bloomed, and Eichen Li said: "This painting is so beautiful. My parents and I were stunned several times by looking at it, so I believe she will also like it."
Fabricio Wang also smiled, nodded and said, "Then I'll be relieved."
Looking at him with beautiful eyes without blinking, Eichen Li said with stars in his eyes: "brother Fabricio, you can actually draw, and you can draw so well? I feel that you are better than those so-called painters."
Fabricio Wang smiled and said nothing.
He didn't want to be modest about this matter, and even bluntly said that in his eyes, the current painting world...
It's all rubbish!
