Chapter 234 Wumen Painter

A painter surnamed Wu likes painting and loves painting Lu Zu the most. Every time I see the image of Lv Zu, I imagine it, hoping to meet the immortals, miss it in my heart, and never forget it.

One day, the painter went out for a walk and saw a group of beggars drinking in the suburbs. One of them opened his clothes and his arms were exposed. The painter suspected that he was Lv Zu. When he looked closely, the more he looked at it, the more he became. So he grabbed the beggar's arm and said, "You are Lv Zu." The beggar laughed. The painter insisted on his own opinion, and suddenly lay on the ground and couldn't kneel down for a long time. The beggar said, "Even if I'm Lu Zu, what can you do?" The painter kowtowed repeatedly and asked him for advice.

The beggar said, "It's fate that you can meet me. But this is not the place to talk. Let's meet again at night. The painter still wanted to ask again. He looked up and saw that the beggar had disappeared. He marveled in his heart and returned home now.

It was night. The painter really dreamed of Lv Zu coming and said, "I think you are single-minded and pious. Let's meet. But you are stingy and can't become an immortal. I'll let you meet someone." Waving to the void, a beautiful man stepped in the air and landed slowly. Her clothes were luxurious and her face was radiant. Lv Zu said, "This is Lady Dong. Look carefully and remember her appearance carefully." Then he asked, "Do you remember?" The painter said, "Remember." Lu Zu told him, "Don't forget it." Suddenly, the beauty disappeared, and Lv Zu disappeared.

After the painter woke up, he drew a portrait of Dong Niangniang with his dream memory and solemnly collected it.

A few years later, the painter went to the capital to visit. Coincidentally, Concubine Dong passed away in the palace. The emperor missed the beautiful woman and summoned many painters to order them to draw a portrait of Concubine Dong. Because the painters have never seen Princess Dong, they are not satisfied with the effect of painting only based on the emperor's description and imagination.

When the painter heard about this, he suddenly remembered, "Is the beautiful person in my dream in the past, Princess Dong?" So he presented the beautiful picture he had made to the emperor. After reading the picture, the emperor was very happy and planned to make him an official. The painter refused. The emperor pondered for a little and gave him 10,000 taels of gold.

Since then, the painter has become famous, and many rich families have asked him to paint at the cost of a lot of money. The painter's pen is like a god, and the image he drew is vivid. In just about ten days, he has earned tens of thousands of silver.
