章 41: 039: Respect for art, incoming call_1

"Mr. Ye, you are too kind," Mu Luzhu continued, "As long as you don't disdain it, not just one painting, even if it were ten, I would give my all."

Mr. Ye nodded, then turned to instruct the servant, "Get things ready."

"Yes," the servant replied and withdrew.

The drawing board was brought by Mu Luzhu herself. Since the color palette of Chinese painting is quite monochromatic, and Mu Luzhu's style is rooted in ink wash painting, the required tools were very simple—just brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone.

"Miss Mu, please," Mr. Ye gestured for her to begin.

Mu Luzhu hesitated slightly before looking at Mr. Ye, "Mr. Ye, I have an impolite request before I start painting."

Mr. Ye raised his eyes slightly, "Go ahead."

Without any other expression, Mu Luzhu spoke softly, "It's like this. Out of respect for art, I have a habit of burning incense and purifying my hands before starting each painting."
