Eighty-three, the young man with the title of Hagoromo
Lu Weirui returned to Wujun Mansion just before noon. After lunch, she informed her father Lu Na that she was going to the west of the city to paint peach blossoms. In previous years, Lu Weirui would have to travel hundreds of miles to find flowers and trees. Now that she is in her late teens, Lu Na would not allow her to travel far, but this time
There was no one in the outskirts of the county who would not allow her to play, so she ordered the steward of the mansion to bring more servants to accompany her and she must return to the mansion before sunset.
Arriving outside the peach grove of Lion Mountain, Lu Weirui got off the oxcart and ordered the steward and other servants to wait outside the forest. She walked into the peach grove with a hoe and a hairpin. The hoe also held a cloth bag in the bag.
It’s pen, ink, paper, inkstone and color.
In the early winter of last year, Lu Weirui came here once in order to report to Chen Cao that the chrysanthemum jade tablet had been rescued, but she did not enter the peach forest. At that time, the peach leaves had fallen and the grass blades were withered and yellow. It looked like only a cold forest with water.
Lu Weirui doesn't like the bleak and monotonous scenery. She likes the colorful and colorful flowers, and now, the peach forest in front of her makes her happy——
The spring was bright and the peach blossoms were blooming. Walking under the peach trees, Lu Weirui took a deep breath and said to the second maid: "The wind here is all pink, and people will get drunk after walking a while."
The little maid said with sharp eyes, "Little madam, Mr. Chen is watching us over there."
Lu Weirui was stretching her arms, pretending to be a bird flying in the wind, leisurely and intoxicated. After hearing this, she quickly put down her hands, her cheeks were stained with peach blossoms, her beautiful eyes were shy, and she looked at Chen Caozhi who was standing under the thatched eaves and smiled at her.
Waving from afar.
Chen Caozhi greeted her with a smile and bowed slightly: "Miss Wei Rui, are you here to enjoy the peach blossoms? Today is a good time."
Lu Weirui returned the courtesy and responded.
The little maid looked around with a hoe and said, "Mr. Chen lives here. It's such a good place. My little lady likes it here."
Lu Weirui said: "Chen Langjun, I am here to paint. Have you started painting peach blossoms?"
Chen Cao said: "There are a lot of problems with the main painting. I thought of asking Miss Wei Rui for advice. I'm glad you came."
Lu Weirui's face showed joy: "Look how many paintings have been done." Then she and Chen Caozhi entered the thatched cottage, walked quickly to the painting table, and saw that the line outline of "Bixi Peach Blossom Picture" had been completed, and said: "Ah, Lion Rock
, why did you move here?"
Chen Caozhi said with a smile: "In order to make the composition more beautiful, I sent Kua'e's son to carry the mountain and move it here."
Lu Weirui pursed her lips and smiled, and then said: "What's wrong with you? I think the painting is very good."
Chen Caozhi tried to talk about some of the difficulties he encountered when painting, and Lu Weirui was able to answer them. After all, she had studied painting with Zhang Mo for several years, and her stepmother Zhang Wenwan also often painted. There were many paintings in the house, so she naturally knew better than Chen Caozhi.
many.
Chen Caozhi was very happy and wanted to make some revisions, but Lu Weirui said: "Chen Langjun, I want to see the peach forest again and choose a scene to paint. Can you give me some advice?"
Chen Caozhi put down his pen again and said, "Okay, I'll walk with Miss Wei Rui by the stream to see which place is suitable for painting?"
Chen Caozhi was in front and Lu Weirui was behind. They were five feet away from each other and walked slowly along the path by the stream. The little maid put the cloth bag containing the pen and ink paintings in the thatched house and decorated it with hairpins.
Behind Lu Weirui, Ran Sheng followed the second maid, while Laide stood under the eaves and looked this way.
The last time Chen Cao went to the Lu family's villa in Huating, he couldn't say anything to Lu Weirui because Mrs. Lu Zhang Wenwan was there. When they met this time, they were not restrained and talked about some things about the Chinese New Year in Chenjiabao. Lu Weirui loved it the most.
Listening to Run'er's interesting stories, I kept laughing while listening.
While the two were talking, they walked out of the peach forest unknowingly. Beyond was the farmhouse rented by the Zhu brothers. Chen Caozhi stopped and said, "Look here, how should the layout of your painting be arranged?"
Lu Weirui said: "You have already painted the panorama, so I will not paint it anymore. I only painted a small scene of peach blossoms, but I don't know how to start."
Chen Cao said: "I have an idea, but I don't know if it suits your liking."
Lu Weirui said happily: "I definitely agree. My teacher Zhang Andao and Aunt Zhang all praise your paintings for their unique conception. Please tell me, Mr. Chen."
At this time, Chen Caozhi saw that the firewood door of the farmhouse over there was open, and the Zhu brothers came out of it and walked straight towards this side. Chen Caozhi did not want to meet the Zhu brothers at this time, so he said: "Miss Wei Rui, let's go back first."
Taolin Xiaozhu, I will show you the suitable place to enter the painting."
Lu Weirui responded: "Okay." Then he turned around and followed Chen Caozhi back.
Brothers Zhu Yingtai and Zhu Yingting came elegantly on high-toothed wooden clogs, followed by two healthy servants.
Zhu Yingting watched Chen Caozhi return to Taolin with a girl in a pink skirt, and frowned: "Is this Chen Caozhi taking a prostitute on a spring outing?"
Zhu Yingtai squinted her slender eyes, pursed her thin lips, quickened her pace, and said, "Go over and have a look."
When Chen Caozhi heard that the Zhu brothers were catching up, he couldn't get out of the way, so he turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Where are the two Zhu brothers rushing to in a hurry?"
The Zhu brothers didn't say anything, they all looked at Lu Weirui. With such luxurious but unassuming clothes and jewelry, such pure beauty and elegant demeanor, how could she be a female prostitute!
When Lu Weirui saw another man arriving with bright eyes and a rather rude look, she said softly: "Chen Langjun, I'll go back first."
Chen Cao said: "Wait a minute, I will tell you about the scene for the painting. It's not too late to come back." Not wanting to talk to the Zhu brothers, he handed them over and left.
The Zhu brothers followed up again, and Zhu Yingtai asked: "Brother Zizhong, can you still paint? Will you let me appreciate it?" Before Chen Caozhi could answer, Zhu Yingtai asked Lu Weirui again: "This little lady
What’s your surname?”
Lu Weirui was very tired of this slender young master of the Zhu family who wore powder and perfume. However, she had a good temper and never even scolded the servants. She then said lightly: "My surname is Lu, and I am here to paint peach blossoms."
Zhu Yingtai's slender eyes widened at first and then narrowed, asking: "Is it the nymphomaniac Lu Weirui?"
Lu Weirui responded: "Yes." He quickly walked towards Taolin Xiaozhu.
Chen Cao said: "Brother Zhu, please do as you please."
Zhu Yingtai said: "I want to watch you paint, what, can't you?" He stared at Chen Caozhi, as if Chen Caozhi had changed into another person.
Chen Cao said: "Then please."
Returning to Taolin Xiaozhu, Chen Caozhi pointed to the unfinished "Bixi Peach Blossom Picture" on the painting table in the main hall of the thatched cottage and said: "Brother Zhu, the painting is over there. Please look at it first. I and Mr. Lu
Madam, let’s talk for a while about painting and framing.” He did not avoid the Zhu brothers, walked to the window of the thatched cottage, and said to Lu Weirui: “My dear Madam Weirui, please come closer and look out the window——”
Lu Weirui approached with a little doubt, and saw several branches leaning horizontally outside the window, but a peach tree branch stretched out in front of the window, with several strings of pink peach blossoms on it, which were particularly beautiful under the setting sun in the afternoon.
Chen Cao said: "Why don't you draw a small window with two or three peach blossoms outside the window -"
Lu Weirui's eyes lit up and she said happily: "This framing is really novel."
Chen Cao said: "This method is clever and only needs to be used once or twice."
Lu Weirui smiled and said, "Then I'll draw it first, but you're not allowed to use it."
Chen Cao said: "I am too busy with my studies and have no time to paint, so I just paint one by myself."
Lu Weirui turned her beautiful eyes and glanced sideways at the Zhu brothers. She felt a little annoyed that she couldn't stay here any longer, so she left and said, "Chen Langjun, I'll go back first and let you see it after I finish the painting."
"
Chen Caozhi sent her out, but said: "Please wait a moment. I painted a "Mountain Dwelling with Snow Scenery" in Chenjiawu years ago. You can take it to see. It is my first time to paint a panoramic view. There are many absurdities. Let's talk about blogging.
A smile."
Lu Weirui said happily: "That's great. I really want to see what Jiuyao Mountain, which Chen Langjun often climbs, looks like." Taking the scroll in his hand, he wanted to unfold it immediately, but seeing that the Zhu brothers were still so bright-eyed, they took it.
He handed the painting scroll to the maid and gave him a hairpin, smiled at Chen Caozhi, and left the peach grove.
Zhu Yingtai spoke: "Brother Zizhong's music is excellent, his mystical theory is clear, and his calligraphy with both hands is also impressive. I'll wait until I play Go before commenting. But this painting is really not flattering."
Chen Caozhi knew that Zhu Yingtai was harsh and merciless, so he said calmly: "I have only been studying painting for half a year, how dare I listen to compliments!"
"Ah, half a year!" The Zhu brothers were all shocked. How dare they paint panoramic views after learning painting for half a year? They only painted single objects. This Chen Caozhi was really a geek.
Zhu Yingtai said: "I have accepted female disciples after only half a year of study. I admire you."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "I am not good at painting, but I don't boast or show off to you two. Why are you ridiculing me like this?"
Zhu Yingtai said: "I really admire you. It's not that easy to be Lu Huaidi's teacher. I remember Zhang Mo and Zhang An taught Lu Huaidi how to paint."
This Zhu Yingtai was a little annoying today. Chen Caozhi didn't bother to defend himself and said: "Okay, I have admired him. I want to continue painting."
Zhu Yingtai said: "Please, my two brothers will be watching you paint and won't disturb you."
Chen Cao said: "Don't you know this is taboo?"
Zhu Yingtai did not answer, but ordered a healthy servant: "Get the painting I just painted, and come back quickly."
Knowing his master's temper, the healthy servant went out and ran away. Within half a quarter of an hour, the sound of breathing like a bellows reached the front of the thatched cottage. Zhu Yingting went out to pick up a scroll and came in.
Zhu Yingtai said: "Let Chen Langjun see if I am the kind of person who needs to learn painting from a master?"
Zhu Yingting unfolded the scroll and spread it on the painting table for Chen Caozhi to appreciate.
This is a picture of "Panasonic Game", with a strange stone as a scale and a pine cone as a zither. Two young men with feathered clothes and Taoist crowns play chess against the stone. The boy on the left looks like Chen Caozhi, and the one on the right is Zhu Yingtai. Strange
The pines and quills are singing, the mountains and rocks are rolling, and the players are as calm as stones. The whole painting has an ancient and strange atmosphere.
Chen Caozhi praised: "Brother Yingtai's work is really wonderful and elegant. I am far inferior to it."
Zhu Yingtai showed no signs of arrogance and said: "I just want to see you painting, but I want my servant to run out of breath."
Chen Cao smiled: "A ruler is short, an inch is long. Although my paintings are crude, they are not as difficult as those of Brother Yingtai."
Zhu Yingting raised his eyebrows and was about to say something sarcastic——
Zhu Yingtai waved her hand and said, "Let's wait and see."
