Although her father was the chief instructor, he was reserved and distant with those apprentices, teaching and releasing them in batches.

The only exception had been the last time, when Mo Qian had stayed and they had all eaten together.

It was because of that last time that she had dared to ask Zhu Xiaoqi to call for Mo Qian to paint this time.

But in the middle of their conversation just now, she had found that the dark loneliness wrapped around her heart had briefly lifted.

She had always th

    When she had been dancing, how could she have seen heaven and earth? She had seen nothing of the mundane world.Mo Qian's brilliance lay in his freehand approach.However, it should also be said that Mo Qian's painting technique in this instance drew heavily on the strength of the conception. The brush skill itself had made only slight progress recently and was essentially still the same level of practiced familiarity.This painting won on its idea.But the artistic conception of heaven and earth was indeed born from the pavilion beside the pond.It was merely an impression arising in the heart. Was the vast and boundless feeling of heaven and earth not ultimately rooted in the enormity of the natural world surrounding him?Mo Qian was a person of two lifetimes, and his perspective was inherently different from ordinary people.The two were talking in the pavilion when a small girl suddenly came running with her skirt gathered, her face flustered. "Miss, Miss Shen is here! She is near

  • Chapter 84 Heaven and Earth, a Dancing Pose

    On the day Shen Mihuan had come over to visit, she had taken the opportunity to bring it up and suggested inviting Mo Qian to the house to paint both of them.She had not expected Shen Mihuan to change expression on the spot and turn and leave immediately. When she went to find her the next day, she was turned away at the door.The more Shen Mihuan behaved like this, the more curious Xia Shuangshuang became.And so today, while Shen Mihuan was not around, she had sent Xue Qing to invite Mo Qian.Xia Shuangshuang looked at Mo Qian. His build was solid and he carried a humble manner, but his face was dark and he was not handsome. Aside from a pair of eyes that flashed with a quiet light and seemed to speak when they looked at you, there was nothing outwardly remarkable about him.Xia Shuangshuang felt a small flicker of disappointment. How could a person like this make Sister Shen so agitated?Though she was inwardly puzzled, her upbringing had been strict and she maintained a faint smi

  • Chapter 83 A Visit to the Xia Mansion

    Mo Qian followed the doorman, left the martial arts field, took a shortcut through the front yard, and came to the gate of Yuanshun Escort Agency.Outside the bright gate stood a red horse with red-tasselled bridle and hooves. The wooden shafts on its back were connected to a carved and brocaded carriage.Not far behind the carriage, a woman stood with a captivating smile, appearing brighter than the sunlight dappling the ground.The sight gave Mo Qian's heart a small lift, and he could not help but think: "Fine horse, elegant carriage, beautiful woman. The God of Wealth is truly the God of Wealth. The style of the wealthy is the same in every age."The woman wore double buns with a bright gold hairpin and a skirt with a white inner lining and a gouache-patterned outer layer. When she saw Mo Qian coming out, she walked a few steps forward, tucked her skirt, and gave a curtsy. "Are you Master Mo?""Mo is my surname." Mo Qian's eyes brightened when he saw the woman."Are you the one who

    Zhou Shoushan was slightly taken aback. Several thousand taels was not a small figure to him. He turned to look at Wu Hui, and his expression had become one of inquiry.Wu Hui was quiet for a moment and then said: "I seem to have heard something about an incident on West Street a while back. It sounds like... two women nearly came to blows over a painting.""Yes!" Kong Bin looked up at Wu Hui and said: "That is exactly the incident. The painter I am talking about is Mo Qian.""Does this person have any backing?" Zhou Shoushan grew interested, rubbing his chin as he asked."Both parents are dead. He is an orphan. Like me, he was selected from the chores disciples.""You are certain he has several thousand taels?""Boss Zhou, you do not often go to West Street. You may not know that his paintings cost ten taels each, with people queuing every day."Zhou Shoushan was mildly surprised. He did not understand calligraphy and painting.But he knew that many celebrated painters and calligraph

    Mo Qian moved through the cramped dormitory, using his palm as a blade, running through the routines of the Five Tigers Sheep Knife, pausing from time to time to think, stepping back and forth, his eyes deep in concentration.Mo Qian immersed himself in this for three full days.On this particular day, watching the light in the dormitory grow dimmer.Mo Qian was in the cramped space going through one of the moves of the Five Tigers Sheep Knife when he saw that his hip was about to collide with the bed on his way past, and without thinking he circled smoothly around it.Mo Qian suddenly laughed at himself. "Sometimes the body movement of this Cloud Snake Steps really is a bit flamboyant."After three days of concentrated thought, Mo Qian had achieved an initial application of the Cloud Snake body method within the Five Tigers Sheep Knife.But this was still only a combination, and even at that, only a preliminary and shallow blending. It was not a true fusion.True fusion was undeniabl
