After the Wei Association reviewed the forty-three paintings of flowers and trees one by one, Lu Na personally came to pick up the paintings and sent them to the south wing for Zhang Mo to review. Chen Caozhi thought to himself: "I wonder if Zhang Mo would be so careful about Lu Weirui's paintings."
To explain, you can’t tell anything by looking at the adverbials alone. I’ll ask Lu Weirui later and I’ll tell her what Master Wei said.”
Zhang Moji sat and looked at the paintings, commenting orally. Lu Weirui wrote down the numbers according to the painting numbers. Lu Na, Lu Changsheng and his son, and Lu Qin were all watching.
When he saw the "Camellia in Cold Rain" numbered "Bingzi", Zhang Mo chuckled, took out the sketch and said to Lu Weirui: "Weirui, you painted this, right?"
Lu Weirui smiled sweetly and responded: "Yes."
Zhang Mo looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, and asked lightly: "Have you asked the Health Association for advice?" He looked up at Lu Weirui.
Lu Weirui's face turned pale, then turned red, her eyes kept blinking, and her mouth opened, not knowing what to say.
Zhang Mo liked this innocent and intelligent female disciple very much and couldn't bear to blame her. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, Master Zhuan Yiduo is also very good." His tone was still a bit teasing.
Lu Na usually doted on his daughter, but at this time he did not help her daughter, and just smiled while twirling his beard.
Lu Weirui blushed and said: "Master Zhang, Mr. Wei has never taught me in person. I have seen a few paintings by him and his disciples and tried to learn some."
"Oh!" Zhang Mo raised his long eyebrows and said happily: "That's right. When you observe other people's paintings, you must learn their strengths. The outline of the branches and leaves of your camellia purple robe used the line drawing technique of the Wei Association. I think it is very good.
The petals are bathed in the rain, and the colder they become, the more beautiful they become. It’s very good.”
Lu Weirui was secretly surprised. Teacher Zhang became happy when she heard that she did not ask Mr. Wei for advice in person but learned by observing and practicing on her own. However, the line drawing technique is still Mr. Wei's style. What's the difference between asking for advice in person and learning behind the scenes?
What's the difference? And she didn't learn it secretly. Chen Caozhi relayed Mr. Wei's instructions to her.
Zhang Mo said: "Wei Rui has made a lot of progress in painting in the past six months. This painting can be ranked among the best - Wei Rui, write 'Hui Zhi Lan Xin, ingenious feelings - top and middle grade'." This is Lu Wei Rui's painting.
It is listed as the second item in this painting collection.
Lu Weirui said shyly: "Master Zhang won the award, I, I won't participate in the evaluation."
Zhang Mo smiled and said: "Why don't you participate? Aren't you from Wu County? Brother Zuyan advocated this gathering. You are his beloved daughter, so you should participate. I didn't deliberately promote you. Let's wait and see what the Wei Association thinks of this gathering.
It’s a picture of Camellia in Cold Rain, haha, it’s very interesting.”
Lu Weirui then took up his pen and wrote: "Bingzi - Hui Zhi Lan Xin, clever and thoughtful - top and middle grade."
Zhang Mo continued to look at the paintings, shaking his head as he looked, and said to Lu Na: "Brother Zu Yan, you are the prefect, and people in the county are very popular in calligraphy. Even the calligraphy of these painters is very impressive, but they are not improving in painting!"
Lu Na smiled and said: "Brother An Dao, I will resign next year and you will be the prefect of Wu County. The counties under the county will definitely have a great style."
Zhang Mo laughed and said: "Very good, very good, then all the painters rated as ninth grade or above in this gathering will be appointed as subordinate officials of the county department, and all the subordinate officials of Brother Zuyan who have exquisite calligraphy will be dismissed, haha."
Lu Na also laughed: "Since ancient times, calligraphy and painting have not been separated into different families. Brother An Dao still wants to keep a few of his former subordinates."
Zhang Mo was promoted to Situ Tu by Wang Dao in his early years, but he refused to accept the resignation. He spent most of his life idle and did not care about his official career. He was arrogant and dignified, and was the first-class figure in Jiangdong.
Zhang Mo was quick to criticize, and he was also harsh in criticizing paintings that were not eye-catching. When he saw the "Molan Picture" numbered "Geng Yin", he said "Huh" and put the scroll on the table.
Take a closer look.
Lu Weirui took a look and smiled in her heart. This was Chen Caozhi's "Molan Tu", which was painted in her Baihua Pavilion a few days ago. The Molan was the "Phnom Penh Molan" sent by Chu Jian, but Chen Cao
When she was painting, there was no gold border, just ink and ink, without color. At that time, she asked why there was no color? Chen Caozhi replied: "Hidden clumsiness."
Lu Weirui stared at Zhang Mo, observing his subtle expressions. She was even more nervous than when Zhang Mo was reviewing her "Cold Rain Camellia Picture" before, and she was also looking forward to——
After a while, Zhang Mo put down the "Molan Picture" and asked Lu Weirui: "Which painter painted this?"
Lu Weirui didn't want to say it was Chen Caozhi so that she could hear Zhang Mo's more fair evaluation of the painting. She shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Lu Weirui didn't have the ability to lie. Zhang Mo asked with a smile: "Weirui, do you know who painted it? Tell me, I would like to get to know this person."
Lu Weirui chuckled and said, "Yes, it was painted by Chen Caozhi, Mr. Wei's new disciple."
"Ah!" Zhang Mo sat up straight, squinted his eyes, looked at "Molan Tu" again, and said: "It's strange, this is completely different from Wei Xie's painting style. Didn't Chen Caozhi learn the painting style from Wei Xie?
It’s been less than two months, did he learn painting from others before and then transferred to the Wei Association?”
Lu Weirui said: "Chen Caozhi said that he had never learned painting before, but he just liked painting for fun. Mr. Wei was his first teacher."
Zhang Mo shook his head and said: "It's so strange. I have never seen Mo Lan painted like this before."
Lu Weirui asked: "Master Zhang, is this Mo Lan painting good or bad?"
Zhang Mo pondered: "The use of brushes and inks in this painting still seems unfamiliar. It seems like a novice, but the overall layout is ethereal and distant. With only a few strokes, the entire artistic conception is revealed. This artist has a lot in his mind."
ah."
Lu Na was also very happy to hear Zhang Mo's praise of Chen Caozhi, and said: "This Chen Caozhi's calligraphy is also unique-" He ordered the boy to get the "Yan Ge Xing" written by Chen Caozhi, and then "Chen Caozhi"
"The Picture of Huan Yi Presenting a Flute" was also taken together.
Lu Na's study was quite far away from here, and it would take some time for the child to retrieve the calligraphy and paintings. Zhang Mo hesitated while reading the painting and said: "The imagery of this painting is very wonderful, but the technique is far from perfect. How can I determine the quality?" He looked at Lu Wei.
Rui, Lu Wei Rui looked at him with wide open eyes.
Zhang Mo smiled and said: "The imagery is novel, but the writing power is not up to par - the upper and lower grades." That is to say, Chen Caozhi's painting was classified as the third grade.
Then Zhang Mo quickly reviewed the remaining drawings, and pulled out the "Taoyuan Camellia Picture" numbered "Jiachen", and said with a smile: "Another painting by a disciple of the Wei Association, is this by Gu Kaizhi?"
Lu Qin was sulking when he heard his uncle and Zhang Mo praising Chen Caozhi. Then he said angrily: "Chen Caozhi must have brought him here. This Chen Caozhi knew that the Lu and Gu families were not in contact with each other, yet he brought Gu Kaizhi with him."
It’s really rude to come here with your painting!”
Lu Na's face sank and he scolded: "Lu Qin, this is the magnanimity of your famous family!"
The land bird shrank and became silent.
Zhang Mo said with a smile: "To show my magnanimity as Zhang Andao, I can only rate Gu Kaizhi's painting "Daoyuan Mountain Tea" as the top grade, haha."
Lu Na smiled and said: "Repay kindness with kindness and repay grievance with straightness. Brother An Dao, let's end it justly."
Zhang Mo said: "Gu Kaizhi's paintings are here. Let's talk about the younger generation. Even Wei Xie and I, how can we dare to say that he will be better than him? I predict that within five years, Gu Kaizhi's reputation will surpass that of his master and look down on the world."
The boy took out "Yan Ge Xing" written by Chen Caozhi's left and right hands and "Huan Yi Presenting the Flute" by Wei Xie. Zhang Mo looked at it for a long time and said: "What a pity, Chen Caozhi!"
Lu Na then took out the Wei Xie's comments on these forty-three paintings. As the saying goes, heroes have the same opinion. The comments on these forty-three paintings by these two great painters of the time are surprisingly similar. The only difference is that Zhang Mo Gu Kaizhi's "Daoyuan Shancha" was designated as the first grade, while Wei Xie's was ranked the second grade. This was Wei Xie's humility for his disciples.
Lu Na was overjoyed and invited Wei Xie, Zhang Mo, other painters, and celebrities from the county to go to the flower hall. He was going to announce the ninth-grade paintings in this flower and tree painting gathering.
Lu Weirui asked her maid to call Chen Caozhi to Nuange. She told him about Zhang Mo's painting and said with a smile: "Master Zhang is really strange. I heard that I didn't ask Mr. Wei for advice in person but learned by observing and imitating on my own. So I don't blame him." I am happy and seem to be very happy, why?”
Chen Caozhi couldn't help laughing and said: "Of course he was secretly happy that his female disciple succeeded in stealing the teacher. If you ask for advice in person, you will accept the favor of the health teacher. This is something Mr. An Dao doesn't like, but there is no need to steal the lesson." I appreciate it, so Mr. Andao feels at ease."
Lu Weirui also laughed and said: "You taught me Mr. Wei's writing skills, so do you think you are in Cao Ying but in Han?"
Chen Cao was stunned and looked at Lu Weirui's bright and innocent face——
Lu Weirui was also a little awakened. A blush appeared on her face, extending to her ears and neck. She was tender and tender, tender and red, and charming.
