Yan Liben, who has reached the level of minister of the Ministry of Industry, is naturally not someone who can be asked to paint for you casually.
All the portraits on Lingyan Pavilion were painted by him. Therefore, with this addition, Yan Liben's painting skills are known as the best in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shen was able to invite Yan Liben to paint a painting for him, but it was impossible to specify a title. He could only ask Yan Liben to paint whatever he wanted.
To give a portrait of a person like the old immortal is to really praise Yan Liben, and it is an expression of affirmation of Yan Liben's painting skills.
Li Yifu killed someone to celebrate the New Year before the New Year. The Yun Chu family did not kill anyone, but asked Yan Liben to draw a picture on the spot to celebrate the New Year. It was also excellent.
Yun Chu was okay, Yu Xiurong smiled so hard that she almost passed away. Regardless of etiquette, she asked the maid Zijuan to go home and bring all her beautiful clothes and beautiful jewelry. She also asked Princess Ji to prepare a quiet room for her.
Take a shower and change clothes.
The old fairy opened the swaddling clothes of the two children, and with a pair of slender hands, started to remove the skin from the children's heels upwards. He wanted Yun Chu to watch, and he wanted to learn this skill and use it on the children when he got home.
Yan Liben's family lived not far away, so it didn't take long for Li Shen, Yan Liben, and Naha to come back, while Naha carried the boss's burden alone.
When Yan Liben saw Sun Simiao, he kowtowed indifferently.
Sun Simiao glanced at Yan Liben and said: "Your brother Yan Lide has run out of oil. Non-medicinal stones can bring him back to life. It is estimated that he still has four months to live. Instead of wasting these four months of precious time on seeking medical advice, why not?"
Live these four months happily."
Yan Liben cried and said: "Is it true that the old immortal is hopeless? It's not that he doubts the old immortal, but that the younger generation is unwilling to give in."
Sun Simiao smiled and said: "It's just human nature. Your brother still has four months to deal with his own funeral affairs. This is a luxury wish for many people."
Yan Liben thanked Sun Simiao, sighed slightly, and began to look at the five members of the Yun family.
The two children are naturally plump, white and cute, Yun Chu's can be considered as tall as a jade tree, and Yu Xiurong is not the most beautiful woman in Yan Liben's eyes, but she is also generous and decent.
As for Naha, she is a perfect match for the beauty of the Hu family. In three or two years, this child's beauty should be able to alarm Chang'an.
The Yun family members gathered around the old immortal and looked at Yan Liben with smiles, but Yan Liben started to adjust the colors alone.
Yan Liben's brother Yan Lide has been on the bedside for half a year. His ancestors visited him once. After seeing him, he left without saying anything.
This is also the habit of our ancestors. If there is no possibility of diagnosis and treatment for a patient, he will leave without saying a single extra word. According to him, the reason why he does not speak is because he does not want to cut off the patient's last vestige of life.
In the past, our ancestors often met him and said that the patient was hopeless and that the patient was about to die. People who could still live for a while would be frightened to death by the old god's words.
Yunchu's family spent the whole morning posing around their ancestors. After Yan Liben colored the painting in the afternoon, Yunchu saw the scroll and realized that his family's morning posing was in vain.
Because in Yan Liben's paintings, the ancestor's body is obviously twice as big as that of the Yun family. It seems that the technique of painting in the Tang Dynasty to highlight the protagonist is to make the protagonist very big.
Two fat, white and cute children with bare buttocks looked lifelike. One was lying at the feet of the ancestor, and the other raised his body as if to stand up, trying hard to reach the small gourd hanging on the waist of the ancestor.
Yun Chu and Yu Xiurong were in the worst situation, each holding a plate. Yun Chu's plate contained some medicinal-like things, and Yu Xiurong held a small medicine bowl on top of the plate. The soup in the bowl was still steaming.
The most important thing is that their bodies are only half the size of their ancestors, and they look like two supporting characters at first glance.
Naha was the worst, hiding behind a screen with only half of her body exposed, worse than a maid.
The house is extremely tall, the environment is extremely spacious, the appearance of the ancestors is extremely ancient, the longevity eyebrows are half a foot long, and the folds on the sleeves of the robes all show the ability to do extremely complicated things.
The two fat children are also vividly and vividly depicted, but they are unwilling to use more words on the Yunchu couple and Naha.
It can be said that the portrait drawn by Yan Liben has nothing to do with the posture the family just posed, and it was a waste of time.
At this moment, Li Shen was still praising Yan Liben for painting to the point where he only draws the marrow of the spirit and does not look at the bone statues.
Yan Liben himself seemed to be very satisfied with the painting. He respectfully placed the painting in front of his ancestors and said: "I have tried my best, but I still cannot express the grace of the old immortal. It is a pity."
The ancestor just laughed. It seemed that he did not have a clear understanding of his own appearance.
As for Yunchu's family, Yan Liben didn't even bother to pay attention to them. After saluting the old god, he walked away with a proud step. He didn't look like a person whose brother was about to die soon.
Yun Yu's Xiu Rong looked at this painting over and over again, with tears, giggles, and excitement.
Only Naha and Yunchu were very dissatisfied with the painting. The six people in the painting looked nothing like the six people here, and were far from the family portrait that Yunchu wanted.
However, Naha is much smarter now and knows that some complaints are not suitable to be said here, so she suppressed her little face until it turned red.
With this painting, Yu Xiurong didn't even want the child. Yun Chu and Naha had to hold one child each. They saw Yu Xiurong walking in the front very rudely, not caring about her husband and Ji Wang Li Shen who were two positions behind her.
.
Yun Chu's family was sent to the door by Li Shen personally. It was only at this moment that Yun Chu and Li Shen had a little heart-to-heart feeling.
As soon as they got to the carriage, Yu Xiurong went crazy. First, he bit the two children's buttocks twice, then threw Yun Chu down, rode on him and beat him twice randomly, then dragged Naha out from the corner and picked up Naha.
He rolled up his sleeves and chewed hard, making Naha squeak.
Then, when she felt that it was not very enjoyable, she called the servant and asked Zijuan to quickly invite his wife Wen Wenjie, Di Renjie's wife who had just given birth, and Ms. Gongsun, who was single with a baby, and rushed to Yun's house. She was going to have a party.
Appreciation Conference.
When I entered the gate of Jinchangfang, I felt that the retired government soldier with missing arms and legs who was guarding the gate looked very kind, so he pulled out a hairpin from his head and asked for a reward. Fortunately, before throwing it out, he found
It was the golden hairpin gifted by Wu Mei. She thought it was inappropriate, so she threw out a handful of golden melon seeds. Yun Chu took a peek and saw that there were three in total.
As soon as the housekeeper Liu Yi came over, a white jade sign on Yun Chu's waist was thrown to Liu Yi. Liu Yi was so frightened that he could hardly stand still, thinking that the master of the house was going to send him out.
Then, Yunchu finally saw how women waste money. She asked the candied haws-lub seller to say hello, so she took one of the candied haws-lubs and felt sour when she took a bite. She was originally going to reward him with two golden melon seeds, so she gave him one.
Seeing Rou Niang running over to look at Naha, she felt that the child's plain hair was not good, so she took off one of her own gold earrings and gave it to the little girl. As for giving two, she was still reluctant to part with it.
As soon as she entered the house, she hugged San Fei, the cook, and kissed her hard. Originally, what she disliked the most was San Fei's round, greasy face that could never be washed clean.
Seeing Mrs. Cui sitting against the wall and basking in the sun, he sat in Mrs. Cui's arms, put her hand on his chest, and kept saying: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, touch my heart.
Jumped out?"
After Mrs. Cui, who was confused, figured out what was going on, the woman immediately went crazy. She put the sewing basket in her hand on the head of Er Fei, who was doing needlework with her, and shouted:
People immediately cleaned and cleaned the Yun family's ancestral hall, and wanted to hang the painting in the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.
The mistress went crazy, the Yun family's back house was in chaos, the housekeeper went crazy, and none of the servants in the Yun family's back house dared to be lazy. In addition, the housekeeper who knew the whole story went crazy, and the Yun family hadn't even celebrated the New Year yet.
They all went crazy.
In the past, when three women, Di Renjie's wife, Geng Wen's wife, and Gongsun came over, each of them would hold one child, and Yu Xiurong would hold two. They could not do anything without their children.
It was strange that the child would be turned around in the arms of these three women.
Today is different. Yun Chu is holding two children, with a fat girl Yu Nuer standing in front of his legs. Di Renjie is holding his own fat child in his arms, holding Gongsun's son tenderly, and standing in front of his legs is his own son.
The three grown men looked at each other.
As for the four women who were laughing happily in the flower hall, they could also hear the sound of the gentle wife ordering the maid to drink hot wine. It seemed that they had already begun to drink.
Naha stood aggrievedly behind Yun Chu, rolling up her sleeves to show her brother the teeth marks on her arms that were bitten by her sister-in-law.
"Nothing like it at all!"
Naha finally said what was in her heart.
Di Renjie, who has always been based on facts and based on the law, was the first to say: "Between similarity and dissimilarity is the highest state of painting. Only the master can paint by taking the marrow and bones instead of the flesh."
The way.
Yan Gong's paintings of "Taizong's True Face", "Eighteen Scholars of the Qin Mansion" and "Twenty-Four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion" are lifelike and vivid. They were famous works of the time and were praised by Emperor Taizong as "the apotheosis of painting".
It is extremely rare for Yunchu to have Yan Liben make portraits for the whole family this time."
Wen Wen was scratched in the nostril by Gongsun's son. She was so annoyed that she said to one side: "Yun Chu just wanted to leave his appearance to future generations, but he didn't want to leave a painting.
Di Renjie, don’t think that you have been recommended or praised by Yan Liben, so you just praise others casually without any moral integrity."
Di Renjie said angrily: "A certain family won't talk to Bai Ding about painting."
Wen Wen said angrily: "I have a family with three ministers, how dare you call me Bai Ding?"
Di Renjie took out a piece of tortoise shell from his arms and handed it to Wen Wenwen: "Read this inscription and listen to it."
Yun Chu and Wen Wen looked over and saw that the tortoise shell was covered with symbols that looked like characters. After looking through them for a long time, they didn't recognize any of them.
Di Renjie said contemptuously: "You are said to be Bai Ding and you still refuse to admit it. You can't read a small inscription. How can you have the dignity to talk about Yan Gong's paintings here!"
