Chapter 10: Twenty taels, worth it!

I really don’t know if he has some strength or if he just wants to cheat money.

However, looking at Yunze's calm and confident look, she was more willing to believe that Yunze might actually have something up his sleeve.

Coupled with Yunze's reputation as a playboy and prodigal, she wanted to give Yunze a try. She wanted to see if the prodigal and playboy in front of her was not worthy of his reputation or whether he was worthy of his reputation.

"True or false, Miss Luo can just draw one..." Yunze said with a slight smile to Luo Qingcen.

Luo Qingcen had a look of expectation in her eyes, and she was about to nod. However, Yunze's next words made her expression freeze.

"One painting costs twenty taels. I don't know if Miss Luo wants to paint people or objects..."

For ordinary people, twenty taels may be their income in the past six years, but for a second-generation official like Luo Qingcen, it is nothing. Her daily expenses are more than twenty taels.

However, a random painting costs twenty taels, which is really a bit high.

"Twenty taels, why don't you go and grab it... Even that crappy painting you painted is worth twenty taels..."

Zheng Ming, who was unwilling to leave, immediately jumped out and looked at Yunze with an angry face. He felt as if he had found an excuse to step on Yunze.

"Miss Luo, you must not be fooled by this kid. He just wants to defraud some gambling money..." Zheng Ming hurriedly said to Luo Qingcen.

When Luo Qingcen heard this, he frowned and said, "Why don't you care about this guy?" She was about to have a seizure.

At this moment, Yunze looked at Zheng Ming and said, "Whether it's worth twenty taels or not, you don't have the final say. You'll know after the painting is done whether you're cheating or not. If you're not satisfied, you won't get any money."

"Miss Luo, what do you think!" Yunze looked at Luo Qingcen again.

If he didn't have time to deal with this guy, Yunze really wanted to kill this guy on the spot.

Hearing this, Luo Qingcen nodded and said with a slight smile: "Then, how about asking Mr. Yun to draw a portrait for my little girl... If the painting is really as you said, I will give you twenty taels."

Anyway, Yunze said he didn't really want the money, so she became more interested. It was only twenty taels, but she could still get it.

Yunze smiled and said: "Then let's get started... Please also ask Miss Luo to stand there and don't move, and give me two quarters of an hour..."

Zheng Ming on the side wanted to say something, but when he saw Luo Qingcen's cold eyes, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

The men and women around him were full of curiosity and came behind Yunze. Everyone wanted to see how Yunze painted.

Yunze took out a charcoal branch and started drawing on the paper laid out on the easel.

When they saw the charcoal sticks, everyone was stunned and their eyes were filled with weird looks. They had never seen such paintings done with burnt charcoal sticks. This must be a joke.

Some people even laughed out loud, but seeing Luo Qingcen's serious expression, these men and women were too embarrassed to laugh at Yunze in front of Luo Qingcen.

However, everyone felt that Yunze was pretending. Zheng Ming was even more happy. He joked: "Yunze, you are insulting the profession of painter, using charcoal branches to draw... It really makes me laugh to death.

Already..."

Following his voice, the people around him burst into laughter. However, no one made any mockery.

Luo Qingcen also frowned and looked at Yunze in surprise.

Is this guy serious about using charcoal branches to draw pictures? She was looking forward to it, but also slightly disappointed.

But she didn't show it. Anyway, she only had to wait for two quarters of an hour. It didn't take long, and she would know immediately if it was true or false.

Seeing that Luo Qingcen didn't speak, everyone stopped laughing. Instead, they looked at Yunze with mocking faces. Everyone was waiting to see his joke.

Yunze didn't pay attention to everyone's performance. He looked relaxed and composed. The charcoal branch in his hand was already drawing on the paper. While drawing, he looked up at Luo Qingcen.

His expression made Luo Qingcen frown. He had a feeling that the guy in front of him might want to take a peek at her in the name of painting.

In addition to feeling uncomfortable, she was also a little annoyed. However, she had arranged this painting session herself. Even if she felt uncomfortable, she had to endure her anger and continue.

However, as Yunze looked serious, there was a sense of unruliness.

The unhappiness in his heart was affected by Yunze's inexplicable unruliness. His whole person also became calm.

The onlookers behind Yunze were all joking at first, but as time passed, Yunze drew Luo Qingcen's appearance bit by bit on the paper.

In his previous life, Yunze's painting skills had already reached their peak. Two quarters of an hour was enough to add color to a sketch.

After Luo Qingcen's outline was drawn, everyone's joking expressions slowly turned into shock and disbelief. Their eyes almost popped out of their heads.

Luo Qingcen in front didn't know what Yunze's painting was like, but from the expressions of everyone, she felt that Yunze's painting was probably not simple. Otherwise, how could they have such expressions?

Even Zheng Ming, who wanted to watch Yunze's show, was full of doubts. He quietly came behind the crowd, and when he saw the painting on the drawing paper, he stood frozen on the spot.

How is it possible... I saw that the Luo Qingcen in the painting was almost exactly the same as the Luo Qingcen opposite.

Whether it's the eyes, eyebrows, or nose, it's as if they were printed in Luo Qingcen's likeness.

To be able to draw such a painting using only a charcoal branch is simply like the god of painting coming to the world!

Everyone took a breath of cold air.

The behavior of everyone made Luo Qingcen even more curious about what was on the painting. But Yunze asked him to wait for two quarters of an hour, but she did not dare to move.

After drawing the outline of the first step, Yunze began to use a brush to pick up various paints to color the painting. As he colored, the surprise in everyone's eyes became more intense.

Luo Qingcen, who was in front of him, felt as if a cat was scratching his head.

After finally waiting for two quarters of an hour, Yunze put away his pen, chuckled and said: "Miss Luo, that's it..."

Having said this, Yunze turned the easel towards Luo Qingcen.

Luo Qingcen, who had been impatient for a long time, quickly stepped forward to see how well Yunze was painting.

But when he saw himself in the painting, he froze in place. His eyes were full of astonishment, and soon, there was a burst of ecstasy.

The Luo Qingcen in the painting seems to be carved out of the same mold as the Luo Qingcen in front of him. It would be no exaggeration to say that he is looking in the mirror.

"What a painting...it's exactly the same...I didn't expect Mr. Yun to have such a great talent. I really didn't expect it...Xiaoyun...hurry up...pay the money..."

Luo Qingcen couldn't put it down while holding the painting, and almost held it in his arms.

There were no cameras in ancient times, so even if the portraits of people painted by top painters were 30% similar, it would be good.

But the Luo Qingcen in the painting in front of me is exactly the same. If there is a self-portrait like this, it would be of extraordinary significance to keep it as a memory.
