Chapter 1177 Unkind Invitation
Chu Lingyun smiled and said, "It is my honor to be able to see the old man's style wherever he is!"
"Haha! How can I say anything else when I am old?" Shangguan Muye shook his head with a smile, his eyes fell on Shinohara Chixue and Shinohara Chihuan, and he looked curious and asked, "What are Mr. Chu and the others?"
"Oh, the one on the left is called Shinohara Chixue, and the one on the right is Shinohara Chihuan. They are my personal bodyguards." Chu Lingyun had long guessed that Shangguan Muye would definitely be interested in this pair of sisters, so he introduced him directly.
The two sisters also bowed to Shangguan Muye at the same time and said in unison: "I have met Mr. Shangguan."
"Personal Guard?" Although Shangguan Muye had seen some clues just now, he was still a little shocked after being confirmed by Chu Lingyun.
Speaking of which, with his identity and status, he has reached such an age, and he is considered a person who has come through the storm and waves.
Of course, his knowledge is not comparable to ordinary people, but after hearing that the two genius-like figures were actually Chu Lingyun's guards, he couldn't help but be amazed.
What a big show!
He actually uses genius as his guard?!
Chu Lingyun seemed to guess what he thought, but he just smiled without saying anything and did not explain too much.
After a while, Shangguan Muye came to his senses, patted his forehead and said, "Hey, I forgot, Master Chu, please sit down, please sit down."
"Haha, old man, please sit down too. You have to praise me, I'm not a master!" Chu Lingyun sat down with a smile, his expression seemed extremely natural and calm.
The faces of Shinohara Chixue and Shinohara Chihuan were not changed, and they came to Chu Lingyun honestly to protect left and right.
After Shangguan Youyou also sat down, Shangguan Muye said with a smile:
"Master Chu's words are too modest. I have seen your paintings and characters. That's really amazing. If you are not a master, I'm afraid no one in our Long Kingdom calligraphy and painting world dares to claim to be a master."
Chu Lingyun laughed and said modestly: "Haha, the old man praised me. I'm flattered by your words!"
Shangguan Muye waved his hand, looked at him with bright eyes and said:
"Old man, I'm not complimenting you. When I first saw Youyou's portrait, I thought it was made by an elderly master. After asking carefully, I realized that it was your masterpiece. It really made me ashamed!"
"I didn't expect that you had such high attainments in calligraphy and painting at this age. You are really terrifying to be awesome for the younger generations!"
When Shangguan Youyou saw that his grandfather praised Chu Lingyun, his eyes narrowed with a smile, as if he was much happier than praising her.
"Grandpa, are you convinced now?!" She couldn't help but say proudly from the side.
Shangguan Muye looked at her with a smirk and looked a little proud in his eyes. He stroked the beard on his chin, nodded heavily and said, "Haha, I'm convinced, of course I'm convinced."
Chu Lingyun smiled and waved his hand: "I didn't expect that I was so tall in the old man's heart. I am so flattered by this boy!"
Dugu Muye's smile became brighter and he looked at Chu Lingyun with even more appreciation: "Haha, old man, I'm just telling the truth."
Speaking of this, Shangguan Muye paused slightly and said a little embarrassedly: "Old man, I have always been a man of Chinese painting. I have a heartless request here. I wonder if Master Chu can agree?"
Seeing Shangguan Muye looking expectant, how could Chu Lingyun refuse?
"You are polite, I will do my best as long as I can do it."
Shangguan Muye asked carefully: "I wonder how Master Chu is about landscape painting?"
Chu Lingyun's heart moved slightly and replied, "It's still acceptable."
Shangguan Muye laughed and expressed his thoughts: "I wonder if I can let the old man see you well?"
Yoho!
The old man is praising himself on the surface, but in fact he still wants to test it?
Chu Lingyun saw through what he was thinking at first sight.
But it cannot be blamed for his idea.
After all, Shangguan Muye is a fan of calligraphy and painting, and there are many masters of calligraphy and painting he has come into contact with.
Those masters, dare to ask which one is not a person over forty or fifty?
And what about Chu Lingyun?
No matter how you look, you are less than thirty years old.
It is normal for him to have some doubts when he sees it, but he has never seen it with his own eyes.
When Shangguan Youyou saw that his grandfather had made such a request, she couldn't help but glar at him and expressed her dissatisfaction.
But she didn't say anything to stop her.
Because watching Chu Lingyun paint, she was actually a rare enjoyment for her, and she was unwilling to miss such an opportunity.
Thinking of this, she looked at Chu Lingyun with anticipation.
Chu Lingyun looked at the two people, one big and one small, and a curved look on the corner of his mouth: "Since I am thanking the old man, I will make a speech for you today, and also treat it as a gift for today's meeting!"
"I am very honored to get Master Chu's calligraphy! Then thank you in advance!" Shangguan Muye also refused and agreed with shamelessness, and then waited for Chu Lingyun's masterpiece with anticipation.
Anyway, no matter how he thinks about this, he can't lose money!
Thinking of this, he raised a smile on his face and waved his hand: "Youyou, go and prepare all the pens and inks!"
"Yes!" Shangguan Youyou blinked at Chu Lingyun, turned around and walked towards the study.
The old man smiled and made an invitation: "Master Chu, please come to our study!"
"Please, please!"
Chu Lingyun stretched out his hand and led him to the study room with Shangguan Muye.
Shangguan Youyou's study is decorated very simply. There are many calligraphy, paintings and couplets hanging on the surrounding walls, and there are few modern ornaments inside.
As soon as he walked into the study, Chu Lingyun smelled a faint fragrance of ink.
Obviously, Shangguan Youyou often writes and paints in it.
I looked around the study room and placed a large table beside the window on the east side. There were a few written verses and one or two ink paintings on it. The signature below was Shangguan Youyou.
"Ah! Forgot to clean up."
Shangguan Youyou saw Chu Lingyun staring at the calligraphy and paintings on the table, her face turned slightly red, and she seemed to feel a little suspicious of being ugly, so she quickly put it away.
Chu Lingyun smiled knowingly when he saw this. Although Shangguan Youyou's calligraphy and paintings had some flaws, they were not bad, and it was considered to have put some effort into this.
Soon, Shangguan Youyou put away his calligraphy and paintings, and then took out an inkstone, rice paper and brush from the side.
Rice paper is definitely a top-notch Rice paper, and the brush is also very good.
But compared to the colorful dragon and phoenix pattern pen given to him by Mr. Luo, it is far from that.
