Chapter six hundred and eighty thousand gold seeking painting
""
Several people suddenly looked at Li Xiuyuan with strange expressions.
This statement sounds strange. Is this despising myself and others, or is it a subtle way of showing off myself?
However, Qian Jun was very excited after hearing this. You must know that he almost bought that woman. If the woman was a man, it would be too scary. Let me ask, a woman who is as beautiful as a flower suddenly turned into a woman at night.
Man, what a horrible thing that is.
"Brother Li, is he really a man?" At this time, the eyes of a scholar next to him lit up and he became a little excited.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "There is absolutely no mistake."
"That's great. How can such a beauty be given up to that magistrate?" The scholar was not interested at first, but when he heard that it was a man dressed up, his interest increased. He immediately turned around and squeezed into the crowd over there.
go.
You can still vaguely hear his voice calling out the price.
Everyone looked at the scholar with shocked faces.
"Ma, Brother Ma, is he so masculine?"
Zhang Bangchang exclaimed: "Otherwise, why would you not be moved when you see a beauty, but why would you be unable to control yourself when you see a man?"
"When did he have this habit? I didn't know about it before."
"It's not unusual for literati to prefer masculine styles. Why are you making such a fuss?"
At this time, a passing scholar suddenly said something, and his eyes seemed to tell everyone that it was rare and strange.
Zhang Bangchang smiled awkwardly and said: "Although the good of Long Yang has existed since ancient times, this violates etiquette and is not tolerated by the world. Only the harmony of Yin and Yang is in line with the principles of heaven and earth. How can this brother regard those crooked ways as
Is it right? If everyone in the world likes what you do
With this kind of thing, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?”
The scholar became a little embarrassed and swung his sleeves heavily, and then said: "I have to say such an elegant thing in such an unflattering way. I will not associate with you. I will take my leave."
Seeing the shy and angry separation from the scholar, Zhang Bangchang just sighed: "The world is getting worse. The world is getting worse."
"It is true that the world is in decline." Li Xiuyuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
"But what I'm more concerned about is that the person selling her body disguised as a man probably has an ulterior motive, and it's not just as simple as showing off her beauty."
"That makes sense. There may be malicious intent in concealing one's identity. Do you want to remind him?" Zhu Yu said on the side.
"I don't need to see how he can compete with the prefect." Li Xiuyuan said.
Sure enough, what happened in the end was just as he had guessed. The scholar came back in despair. However, Li Xiuyuan and others looked at him with strange expressions and subconsciously stayed away from him. This good-natured brother would not fight.
Is it your idea to wait for others?
However, at this moment, I saw that the crowd dispersed, and the man named Xi'er dressed as a woman followed behind the prefect Fang Shengyu.
Fang Shengyu was a little proud, and his brows were filled with joy.
Obviously he was very happy to have picked up such an iconic beauty.
"Brother Li, do you want to remind this prefect to prevent him from being deceived?" Zhu Yu said.
Li Xiuyuan said, "I won't find this displeasure. Maybe you have good intentions, but I'm afraid it's not the case in his eyes. Moreover, last time he burned incense at Xiangguo Temple and even refused to accept offerings from Bodhisattva, his moral conduct is okay."
Is it conceivable that such an official deserves our warning? I
He thinks it's not worth it, and if something bad happens, he will bring it on himself."
When Zhu Yu heard this, he thought it made sense, so he gave up the idea.
Some people deserve an act of kindness, and some don't.
This Fang Shengyu is the latter.
"Hey, look, how come there are so many scholars painting there by the lake? Come on, go outside and have a look. There might be something elegant happening. Don't miss it."
Suddenly, Zhang Bangchang saw a shed set up not far away near the lakeside. There were many scholars nearby painting with ink, and some respected old men commented on it. Some exquisite paintings and calligraphy were hung up for passersby to watch.
And for some very high-level transformations, others are not stingy in praising them.
Several people came over to find out what was going on.
But a scholar said: "Brothers, you don't know this. Today, Zhao Jing, the third prince of the official family, asked for a painter with a jade, ten pearls, and a thousand taels of gold.
Dedicate it to today's officials as a birthday celebration, in order to highlight the talents and flourishing literary style of our Song Dynasty.
"Several brothers also know that today's officials are first-class in calligraphy and painting, and they don't look down on ordinary paintings, so the third prince Zhao Jingcai thought of asking for paintings with thousands of gold on the Lantern Festival."
"So that's it. Hey, isn't that Brother Fan? Brother Kong is here too."
Qian Jun suddenly recognized his friends. They were painting with their heads down at the moment, taking advantage of the darkness to show off their calligraphy and painting skills.
Zhang Bangchang asked again: "Are all the paintings and calligraphy hanging on the easel selected?"
"No, only those who can catch the eye of Master Zhu Qian will be hung on the easel, and then they will be evaluated by the scholars here. The best one will be rewarded by the third prince with a lot of money, but even if he is not chosen,
The words on the easel will often be bought by nearby merchants. After all, it is Zhu Fuzi who praised it.
The paintings I admire are still very valuable." The scholar said with some envy.
It's a pity that he can't paint, otherwise he would have gone up and tried it.
Most scholars spend their energy on the imperial examinations. Most of the people who can learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are talented and intelligent people with good family backgrounds.
Because ordinary people cannot afford such expenses.
"There is such a good thing, so we can't miss it. Come on, brothers, will you come with me to paint?" Qian Jun became a little happy after hearing this, and immediately became impatient.
Zhu Yu coughed and said, "I still have some skills in appreciating paintings, but this painting is really mediocre, so I won't show off."
"Well, I took a look and found that the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the easel were indeed of a very high standard. I compared them in my mind, but I knew I was not as good as them, so I stopped showing off." Zhang Bangchang also shook his head.
"What about you, Brother Gao?" Qian Jun's eyes moved to Gao Fan.
Gao Fan smiled: "I can give it a try, but I'm afraid I won't be able to beat those talented people."
"Where's Brother Li?" Qian Jun asked again.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled: "My master is a Taoist, and he has learned some Taoist things. Where did he learn painting? If I play chess, I can make a fool of myself, but I am not very proficient in painting."
"In that case, let me and Brother Gao go and try. If we can get the thousand taels of gold today, I will invite you to take a boat trip on the lake." Qian Jun said with some confidence.
"In that case, I will cheer for Brother Qian and wish Brother Qian a triumphant return." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
"Put it on me, Brother Gao, let's go." Qian Jun pulled Gao Fan beside him and walked forward excitedly.
