Mao Geng's impression of the Su family was very good from the beginning. When he thought of Mr. Su who didn't mind making random requests, he really gave him whatever he wanted. Mao Geng bento Mr. Su was an enlightened gentleman and felt a little grateful in his heart. Su Zhiyi also cared for himself and Wen Yuan, and the Su family has not yet expressed any intentions for him and Wen Yuan.

As for the rumors that the Su family wanted to recruit a son-in-law, if the rumors were not true, the Su family would not have any intention of favoring themselves and Wenyuan. Anyway, when Baixi families listed themselves and Wenyuan as popular candidates, the Su family did not move at all, and looked like they were sitting firmly on Diaoyutai.

I had a lot of dealing with Su Zhiyi and was familiar with him, so the three of them chatted aimlessly. Of course, Wen Yuan and Su Zhiyi talked the most, and occasionally Mao Geng would like to say a few words.

As he was talking, a young man wearing a blue silk shirt walked in in a blink of an eye. As soon as Su Zhiyi saw it, he pulled the young man and introduced Mao Geng and Wen Yuan.

Unexpectedly, the young man said disdainfully after hearing Su Zhiyi's introduction:

"Oh, I have heard of these two people. I don't know what skills I have, but I can even go to Baixi Guanxue to be a master!"

When Su Zhiyi saw that this was a bit too disrespectful to the two people in front of him, he quickly set up a smooth move:

"Brother Mao, don't blame Brother Wen. This is my cousin, his surname is Feng. He calls him Fengsanlang. He speaks casually. Don't mind the two guys."

Mao Geng couldn't stand others' arrogance the most, but for Su Zhiyi's sake, he didn't have to be as knowledgeable as this young man, so he glared at Feng Sanlang coldly and just kept silent.

Wen Yuan learned that the visitor was a cousin of the Su family, so of course he knew to make a right move, so he immediately praised Feng Sanlang:

"Mr. Su, your cousin is really a handsome young man. He is a talented person. He looks very extraordinary at first glance. I must be full of talent and knowledge, and I am beyond my reach."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhiyi nodded slightly and said:

"What Wen Ge'er said is not bad. My cousin is extremely smart. He is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He just refuses to focus on the Four Books and Five Classics, otherwise he will definitely achieve something in the imperial examination."

But Fengsanlang was a little unhappy after hearing this and said:

"If I use some merit in the imperial examination, what's the difficulty of winning a Jinshi? Hehe! All the people who took the imperial examination are nerds, and I don't want to be that nerd. Brother Zhiyi, please don't bother me about the imperial examination."

Mao Gengxin said that you are arrogant and not at all, and you are narcissistic. You are arrogant and underestimated by heroes all over the world. You are so narcissistic that you don’t know what your surname is, that’s your fault.

Wen Yuan saw that there was a ridicule on Mao Geng's lips, and he also wanted to kill the arrogant boy's majesty. This boy was too ignorant of the world. Speaking of piano, chess, poetry and painting, at least in terms of painting, his cousin's painting skills will never be worse than this boy. Seeing Fengsanlang holding a scroll in his hand, he didn't know whether it was calligraphy or a painting, he had an idea, smiled slightly, and said:

"The one that Feng Gongzi held in his hand must be his proud work. It's better to spread it out and let us appreciate it again. How about it?"

Unexpectedly, when Feng Sanlang heard this, his face turned red in an instant and said:

"This is not for you to show."

The more Feng Sanlang refused to take it out, the more Wen Yuan wanted to run him:

"Feng Gongzi is good at all piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Calligraphy and painting must be good, but if you look at it, I'm afraid you may not be able to compare with my cousin Mao Geng."

Speaking of this, Feng Sanro could not bear it. He immediately spread the scroll in his hand and said:

"I am the cousin of the painting. I didn't want the idle people to see this painting, but since you, who is surnamed Wen, have mentioned this, let the two of you see it."

When Mao Geng saw Feng Sanlang unfold the scroll, he saw a picture of a lady. This painting was generally more charming than a picture of a lady in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the calligraphy of the signature was also generally more skillful. However, the brushwork was too far from painting, so he could only be considered a vulgar artist in the painting. I think Feng Sanlang was interested in his cousin, but I don’t know if this painting was to be taken to his cousin to invite him to his dear feelings. Mao Geng thought of this festival and smiled knowingly.

Mao Geng's smile made Su Zhiyi see it. Is Mao Geng really good at painting? Could it be better than his cousin? Therefore, he couldn't help asking:

"Since Brother Wen said that Brother Mao is also proficient in painting, why not comment on my cousin's paintings and then make a painting?"

It is not difficult to comment on Feng Sanlang's paintings. There is a problem with the paintings of ladies in the Tang and Song dynasties, that is, the proportions are often wrong, and the principle of perspective is ignored. In Mao Geng's eyes, ladies' paintings do not pay much attention to perspective, but the paintings of ladies are not listed here.

It is not impossible to draw classics in Chinese figure painting, but you have to draw light and shadow, and respect the principle of perspective to draw excellent works that have shape and spirit.

Mao Geng said lightly:

"There are some flaws in this painting of Mr. Feng, which is inevitable. If you want to draw it down, you may not be able to draw it - that one is better than Mr. Feng."

What Mao Geng said was really what he thought in his heart. Mao Geng was really unsure of painting the characters. From Feng Sanlang's painting, he really couldn't tell what Feng Sanlang's cousin looked like. It should be certain that he was not an ugly girl.

When Feng Sanlang saw the Mao surnamed spoke hesitantly, he thought that Mao Geng was timid after reading his paintings. This was why, so he thought that Mao Geng might not be as good as himself in paintings. This once again aroused Feng Sanlang's arrogance, and Feng Sanlang sneered:

"Who can't brag? Who knows whether the drawings are drawn can be taken out?"

Wen Yuan recalled that Mao Geng painted Mr. Jiang as "worrying about the country and the people", but he didn't have much confidence. If he painted his female family in a declining look, it would be bad.

Su Zhiyi was very curious about Mao Geng's painting skills. No one knew how high Mao Geng's painting skills were. Mr. Jiang was afraid that others would know that Mao Geng had a unique painting skills and would never tell others. Wen Yuan also made a taboo, because Mao Geng's painting skills were sometimes not effective, so of course he would not show off Mao Geng everywhere. This time, he really didn't like Feng Sanlang, so he wanted to gamble about Mao Geng's painting skills.

Su Zhiyi took this opportunity to explore Mao Geng's appearance and said without a trace:

"Brother Mao, my sister is here. Do you want to invite her over? How about you also make a portrait of her?"

But Fengsanlang stopped doing it:

"No! How can outsiders paint for their cousin? This is not in accordance with etiquette."

Mao Geng smiled and thought to himself that this boy named Feng was still jealous. He thought that the little girl of the Su family was a little charming, which made this guy fascinated. Well, would I still compete with you for a barbarian woman?

Turning his head and saying to Su Zhiyi:

"In the painting of the lower and Feng Gongzi, it can be said that each has its own advantages and the painting method is different. You can see it by just drawing a few strokes."

Mao Geng took out the charcoal strips he carried with him, asked for a piece of paper, and then he drew it. After a while, a vivid hand appeared on the paper. It turned out that Mao Geng was painting his own left hand, and the details of the transition between the joints were vivid and interesting. Su Zhiyi was stunned. Mao Geng's painting skills were much better than Feng Sanzi. After seeing this hand, he naturally didn't need to draw anything else.

When Feng Sanlang saw Mao Geng's move, he immediately felt that his skills were not worth mentioning and he had nothing to say at the moment. However, he was still hostile to Mao Geng, and then he remembered that he rarely had an opponent in Go. It would be better to transfer the battlefield and deal with this kid in Go, so as to make some face comebacks.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't get any cheaper in playing chess. The process of Go was enough to make Feng Sanlang collapse. Mao Geng's previous life was about the three amateur stages and the two amateur stages were more than the level. Moreover, the Go style in later generations was not necessarily a fixed pattern in the Song Dynasty, and Feng Sanlang would never have the chance to kill thousands of games of Go online. Feng Sanlang was actually just a local chess king in the remote place of Xinhua. When he met Mao Geng, who knew many fixed patterns, he had played a large number of Go, he was destined to be defeated.

Mao Geng, who was crazy about Fengsanlang in Go, was a little lost in the evening. After drinking a few more cups, he started to be unable to control his mouth. He claimed that he was full of all things and would become rich in the world soon. He also said that he could help the Su family become the richest man in Shaozhou by just using his brain. That was just a trivial matter, and so on.

When he woke up the next day, Mao Geng regretted that he had lost his words after drinking.

However, after breakfast, Su Zhiyi not only did not show any disgust, but instead invited Mao Geng to paint for his younger sister. Mao Geng refused at this time, but he was worried that he would draw a tiger and become a cat again. Yesterday he just drew his left hand, which was actually a coincidence. As long as one hand is roughly similar, others will find it difficult to see the flaws in it, but drawing characters is not that simple!

Mao Geng was nervous, thinking all the way to what the Su girl looked like. If Fengsanlang could chase after her all the way, she should not look bad! I wonder if there is any girl from the Dun family who is beautiful. If she looks average, she will be a little worse than the painting, as long as the contrast is not too large.

Unexpectedly, the young girl Mao Geng met later was the most beautiful girl Mao Geng had ever seen in the Song Dynasty. Mao Geng had to admit that this young girl from the Su family definitely had the potential to be the protagonist.
