Chapter 44: Seeing Through the Years
Duan Rong set up the easel, grinded ink, mixed dyes, and soon started to work hard...
After Duan Rong painted three pictures, he was surprised to find that his painting speed had increased.
In this way, he could finish painting these ten people in less than an hour.
Duan Rong then deliberately slowed down!
He didn't want to paint so many!
He wanted to let the bullets fly for a while.
Only hunger marketing can wait for the price!
When Duan Rong painted the fifth picture, two handsome young men in brocade clothes suddenly came over, and they walked to the end of the team silently.
Duan Rong was about to call them and ask them to come again tomorrow, but suddenly found that the two servants at the end of the team suddenly stood up and gave them the seats.
"Those two servants, it turns out that they are taking seats!" Duan Rong's eyes lit up, and the doubts in his heart when he first came were finally dispelled.
At the end of Shen Shi, it was about to turn You Shi, and Duan Rong finally handed the last painting to a handsome young man.
Duan Rong glanced at the Huaying Building across the street. The door of the building had just opened. In the dusk, two lighted lanterns were just hung in front of the door.
Duan Rong smiled slightly and thought: The timing is just right!
Duan Rong was just about to pack up and go back when he suddenly smelled a fragrance.
His heart moved and he looked up. He didn't know when Hu Huanhuan had come over with her skirt swaying lightly and said, "Mr. Duan, can you paint a picture for me?"
Duan Rong smiled slightly when he heard this, and he set up the folded easel again and said with a smile, "Sister Hu's coming here is a great compliment to me! How dare I not serve you?"
Although Duan Rong's words were half slick, they were also half sincere. Although Hu Huanhuan was a woman, she was strong and even he was a little scared when he saw her.
Hu Huanhuan smiled when he heard this. After meeting her twice, he found that this painter named Duan Rong was smart and humorous. He was a happy person.
"Sir, you are praising me! In fact, you don't need to praise me. I am just an old geisha who is old and ugly and no one wants me. In the words of those bastards, I am just an old geisha who runs a brothel!"
Duan Rong was slightly startled. He didn't expect Hu Huanhuan to be so frank. After hearing this, Duan Rong was even more impressed.
"I am not praising you. In my opinion, Sister Hu is a first-class industrialist in Xiangu County! Isn't this Huayinglou, which is famous in the prefecture and county, a clear proof?"
Duan Rong said, looking at the Huayinglou diagonally opposite.
Huayinglou was already open at this time, with red lights shining brightly, gauze windows transparent, and wonderful music from afar, accompanied by a faint fragrance, who wouldn't be moved by it?
Moreover, as Duan Rong said, this Huayinglou is indeed the largest taxpayer in Xiangu County!
When Hu Huanhuan heard the word "industrialist", her heart was slightly shocked.
When she was young, Hu Huanhuan was also a famous prostitute in the city. If she really wanted to get married, how could no one want her? She just didn't want to rely on those stinky men who made her sick, so she returned to Xiangu County and spent all her efforts to build this Huayinglou!
However, these thoughts of hers have long been submerged in the dust, and she almost forgot them herself. How could others see through them?
But she didn't expect that today, the 15- or 16-year-old boy in front of her would reveal it in one word!
"Mr. has outstanding insights and is different from the mainstream!"
While the two were talking, Duan Rong had already started to put ink on the drawing paper.
Duan Rong stared at Hu Huanhuan!
The former famous prostitute in the city had natural facial features, sword eyebrows and beautiful nose, and had a romantic charm!
However, time treated everyone equally, and it whizzed by, and Hu Huanhuan became more and more busy.
Her skin has lost its former luster, and no matter how good the makeup is, it can't make up for it!
The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and the lips that are no longer rosy all show that the youth is gone!
However, Duan Rong saw the old Hu Huanhuan through these!
A charming smile and beautiful eyes!
The famous prostitute in the capital city, who once made countless young knights fall in love with her with every frown and smile, has passed through the years of wind and dust and stood in front of Duan Rong!
Duan Rong's heart was slightly shocked, and he was obsessed with writing!
In less than a quarter of an hour, the painting was completed!
Duan Rong took the painting and handed it to Hu Huanhuan!
Hu Huanhuan took the painting and was shocked at the first sight!
Duan Rong looked at Hu Huanhuan standing there with the painting in his hand, petrified, and smiled slightly.
After two days of actual painting, his skills have become more and more mature.
This painting of Hu Huanhuan is a clear proof that he has taken his painting style a small step forward.
Duan Rong did not disturb the petrified Hu Huanhuan. He packed up his things, turned into a walking shelf, and left.
After a long time, when Hu Huanhuan raised her head, Duan Rong was no longer under the old locust tree.
Hu Huanhuan sighed slightly, and there was a trace of loneliness in her eyes.
She rolled up the drawing paper and walked back to Huayinglou...
The welcoming geishas at the door of Huayinglou were originally chirping, but when they saw Hu Huanhuan walking over, they immediately stood like quails with their heads drooped.
Hu Huanhuan walked back to her room, she sat in front of the table, spread the drawing paper on the table, and looked at it for a while...
One sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, one look!
She looked at the person in the painting with a strong feeling in her eyes!
After a long time, Hu Huanhuan suddenly looked up and looked at the corner of the bedside of her room. There was a box there, which was one of the boxes she brought from the capital city.
Hu Huanhuan stood up and walked slowly to the box. She lifted the hem of her skirt and squatted down.
She opened the box and searched for a while.
Finally, she found a scroll from the bottom of the box!
It was unknown when the painting was painted, and it had turned slightly yellow.
Hu Huanhuan untied the red silk thread that bound the scroll with her slender and dexterous fingers, and gently unfolded the painting!
In the painting, there was a young girl watching fish swimming by the lake, with bright eyes and white teeth, and eyebrows as black as ink, especially when she smiled, it was like a spring breeze blowing...
Hu Huanhuan looked at the person in the painting, a little dazed.
She hadn't seen this painting for too long.
"It's been twenty years..." Hu Huanhuan muttered to herself, and two lines of tears rolled down her eyes.
Hu Huanhuan moved lightly and put the painting on the table just now, together with Duan Rong's painting!
Although the two paintings have different backgrounds, the people in the two paintings seem to be the same person!
They passed through the dust of the years and met again in a different way!
Hu Huanhuan was tearful for a moment.
She seemed to see Duan Rong's dark square face, and his eyes as bright as stars were shining!
That light seemed to contain some kind of power that could penetrate the years!
Duan Rong returned to Yuanshun Escort Agency, went to the dormitory first, put his things away, and then went to the canteen in the middle courtyard to eat, and then went directly to the martial arts field.
I got up late today, which has delayed my practice for two hours. I must speed up at night.
Duan Rong came to the familiar corner of the martial arts field, sank his waist and straightened his back, and stood up.
This stand lasted until the hour of Chou!
Duan Rong exhaled a breath of white air, and when it shot out of his mouth, it was quiet all around, only the stars in the sky flickered with cold light.
After he stood up, Duan Rong felt refreshed!
He walked back to the dormitory yard, washed his body by the well, and then got into the blanket naked!
I fell asleep as soon as I got into bed.
I had no dreams that night!
