Wu Haogu looked at Pan Qijie seriously. This was a girl with a golden hairpin. She was wearing a moon-white double-breasted spiral jacket and a red skirt. She was surrounded by a small lake-green waist. She looked generous and very cute. Her beautiful and cute girl's face, curved eyebrows, small cherry mouth, and she was happy and angry. She had a pair of big and bright eyes, with distinct black and white, smart and vivid, with a playful smile.

The girl has a petite figure, not as tall as Pan Qiaolian, and her face is a bit baby-fat, which looks very likable.

In short, this is a cute and beautiful girl. Compared with her, Pan Qiaolian is a charming big sister. They have their own advantages, it depends on how you taste it.

After the little girl finished her salute to the "big brother" she had known for a while, she looked at Wu Haogu and Mi Youren curiously, blinking her big eyes, as if asking: Who are you? What are you doing at my house?

"This is Brother Mi, this is Brother Wu." Pan Yi introduced, "They are all my friends, and they are also famous scholars in Kaifeng Prefecture, and they are proficient in painting."

There was no scholarship in the Song Dynasty, and scholars could be called scholars.

"Mi Xiucai, Wu Xiucai is blessed." The little girl bent down and gave a blessing to the two of them.

Pan Yi pointed to Wu Haogu again, "This scholar Wu is also the number one painter in Kaifeng Prefecture. He is here to paint for you."

"Draw for the slave?" The little girl tilted her head and looked at Wu Haogu like a bird watching a person. Her fat little face was full of curious expressions.

Pan Yi smiled and said, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a talented man like Wu Xiucai?"

The little girl shook her head and smiled slightly at Pan Yi, "Brother, I just haven't seen such a young painter. In our countryside, painters are all..."

"Sister Qi!" Pan Yi raised his voice and interrupted Pan Qijie, "Go to the study with Pan Zhong to study. I will check it tonight."

"Oh." The little girl responded, turned reluctantly and followed the man in green.

Wu Haogu's face gradually showed a look of confusion. Why did this girl live in the countryside? Why didn't Pan Xiaoyan's daughter live in Kaifeng Prefecture but lived in the countryside?

Also, this girl is twelve or thirteen years old, why do you still need your brother to urge her to practice calligraphy?

Such a lady from the family has almost finished the books she should study at the age of 12 or 3. If she continues to study, it is her personal interest. Where do you need the supervision of her brother? This girl cannot take the imperial examinations, so it is useless to learn so many poems and books.

Could it be that the Pan family wants to train this little girl to be a talented woman like Li Qingzhao?

"Please sit, please sit."

Wu Haogu was not confused for too long, but was interrupted by Pan Yi's loud greeting.

The guests and hosts quickly sat down separately. Three female envoys from the Pan family came in and presented three bowls of tea and a few small dots. The refreshments were all contained in the sky-blue Junkil porcelain utensils, which looked unique.

The fragrance of tea comes to the nose. When Wu Haogu smelled it, he knew it was made of the small dragon and phoenix tula tea made from the fresh and tender tea buds produced by Beiyuan Tea House in Fenghuang Mountain, Fujian. The small dragon and phoenix tula is a famous tea created by Cai Xiang when he was appointed as the Fujian Road Transportation Commissioner. It is extremely precious. It was a tribute at the beginning, and only in the palace. However, it is also sold on the market now, but the price is extremely expensive, reaching 20 cakes!

In other words, a pound of Xiaolongfeng Tuan Tea (twenty cakes) is worth up to 400 pieces!

Moreover, this is not the best among famous teas in the Song Dynasty. The most expensive tea now is called "Xinlong Tuan Shengxue", which is also twenty cakes per pound, and one cake is worth forty pieces. The value of a pound of tea is as high as eight hundred pieces!

This is the case in the Song Dynasty today, with extravagance prevailing. Therefore, the easiest money to earn is various luxury goods, including calligraphy, painting, and art.

Wu Haogu picked up the tea bowl from Jun Kiln, tasted a bite of the tea made with a little dragon and phoenix ball, and felt the elegance and luxury. I never dreamed that one day I could drink hundreds of pounds of tea (referred to as the RMB in later generations, so I could even have tens of thousands) of tea.

Moreover, this kind of extravagant life is probably my daily life for the rest of my life. It's so corrupt...

"Teacher," Wu Haogu's apprentice who could enter the Palace Museum could write whatever he wanted, suddenly spoke, "You told me yesterday that you would use your real skills to draw Sister Pan Qi. I wonder how the teacher plans to draw?"

"It's not how to draw, but how to draw it."

"Oh?" said Mi Youren, "the teacher means..."

Wu Haogu looked at his disciple and smiled and said, "I'm going to draw an oil painting for my master this time."

Oil painting is a Western oil painting with a super realistic style! Wu Haogu’s best skill in his previous life was also a project he majored in at the Academy of Fine Arts.

But the Song Dynasty is unique at present. Therefore, once the oil painting "Photo of Sister Pan Qi" is created and sent to Duan Wang Zhao Ji, with Zhao Ji's love for painting art, he will definitely come to find the ancient martial arts as soon as possible.

At that time, if you ask Sister Pan Qi to be a model, you may make King Duan fall in love with this little girl... If His Highness Duan really talks.

"Oil...oil painting?"

Mi Youren was stunned again and again.

Pan Yi smiled and asked, "Is this oil... lard or soybean oil?"

"It's sesame oil."

"Sesame oil?" Pan imagined the fragrant sesame oil - can this thing be used to draw?

"It's sesame oil, not sesame oil." Wu Haogu added, "Does Huma know?"

Pan Yi and Mi Youren both shook their heads.

"Squash is produced in the West, and sesame oil is oil squeezed with shisha seeds," Wuhao Ancient Road, "It is more common in bitter and cold places in the northwest. It is mostly used as medicine in our dynasty, but it is just a top-quality blending pigment."

The so-called flax is flax, an important raw material for Western oil painting. Seasoning seed oil can blend pigments, while cloth woven by flax can be used as canvas. Although flax is the earliest natural plant fiber used by humans, it has not been cultivated in China for a long time, especially in the Central Plains, there is almost no flax planting.

Therefore, this sesame oil was obtained by Wu Haogu from Ximen Qing, and was imported from the Liao Kingdom as a medicinal material by the Ximen family.

In addition, Zhang Xizai also told Wu Haogu that there are many kinds of linen on the market, among which are made of veal, which were imported from the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. There are not many, they are all high-quality products, and the price is naturally not cheap. However, using it to draw oil paintings, the price is naturally not a problem.

In addition to sesame canvas and sesame oil, the pigments used to draw oil paintings have also been developed. Theoretically, Wu Haogu only needs to find three "primary colors" of red, green and blue to mix other colors he wants to complete the oil painting creation.

However, in order to get the best color, Wu Haogu still collected as many pigments as possible. Now he has obtained lead white (Chinese painting pigments), earthy yellow (stone yellow, Chinese medicine), gambola (Chinese medicine), vermilion red (Chinese red), carmine red (rouge), sky blue (Chinese painting pigments), lapis lazuli (blue), blue blue (blue copper), ochre (black), and bone black (baked with animal bones). Although the three primary colors are still green, they can be mixed with yellow pigments and blue pigments.

As for the brushes, Wu Haogu used the painting style when he was in Kaifeng Prefecture, and found a pen-making master to customize dozens of brush making.
