The river breeze blew by, bringing a slight coolness.
In the Linjiang Palace, the atmosphere was a little subtle.
I can honestly say that this "Early Spring Outing Picture" is an excellent painting, and the theme of it is also very good. For those scholars who are motivated to benefit the people and make a living for the people, this picture is very warning and encouraging.
significance.
But who was there?
They are all top-notch nobles, the kind who can earn a lot of money while sitting at home without doing anything. They may sympathize with these servants, but they still have to use it how they should be used!
Zheng Qingfang didn't even think about influencing them. He was already very satisfied if he could squeeze some money out of their hands to build water conservancy projects, build bridges and pave roads, and feed back the civilians.
The second famous painting was unfolded, and it showed a girl!
In early spring, apricot blossoms are blooming!
In the lush green suburbs of the south of the city, a cardamom girl wearing a goose-yellow spring shirt grabbed a large banana leaf with both hands and put it on her head. Then she squatted by the gurgling stream and watched the ants move when they were wet by the light rain!
It was then!
Gua!
A frog made noisy noises and leaped high onto the banana leaf. The girl's beautiful big eyes rolled up and she reached out to catch it.
The whole picture seems to have come alive because of this capture!
"Ha ha!"
Many people couldn't help but laugh the moment they saw the scroll, and their nervousness instantly relaxed, as if they had melted into the spring rain.
The girl is cute and cute, and her eyes are full of innocence. Just one look at her makes people feel indescribably comfortable.
"I've seen this painting!"
An old man stroked his beard and said something.
"Yes, I've seen it too. It was last year. Zheng Xiang asked the housekeeper to bring it. I really wanted to keep it at that time!"
"I heard that the girl in the painting disappeared, and Zheng Xiang came up with this painting to find her!"
"Eh? Why does this girl look familiar to me?"
The guests were talking a lot.
Gu Xiuxun looked at Sun Mo in surprise. She had seen Sun Mo paint "Early Spring Outing". She originally thought it was an accidental painting, but she didn't expect that his painting skills were really unparalleled.
She knew about Lu Zhiruo's disappearance, so it was impossible for anyone except Sun Mo to draw such an expressive Papaya Girl.
An Anhui subconsciously looked at Lu Zhiruo and compared it with the girl on the scroll. Although they were not exactly the same, the charm and temperament showed that they were the same person.
Then An Anhui's expression was shocked and she looked at Sun Mo.
"Oh, the girl in the painting is a girl from Zhongzhou Academy, right?"
Qi Muen screamed and suddenly realized.
Lu Zhiruo had just said that she wanted to donate more than one hundred taels, so some people looked at her, including Qi Muen, who realized what he was doing now.
Everyone turned around to compare and found that they were indeed very similar.
"Prime Minister Zheng, is this this girl?"
Qi Muen asked.
"ah?"
Lu Zhiruo was dumbfounded and looked at the scroll blankly: "Why does it look familiar? Is it me?"
"Ha ha!"
Many people couldn't help laughing when they saw Papaya Girl's cute look.
"Master Miao, among all the people here, your painting skills should be the highest. Can you please comment on it?"
Zheng Qingfang asked.
Qi Muen didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to hear Zheng Qingfang teasing Miao Mu.
Miao Mu raised his chin slightly and glanced at Sun Mo with an arrogant expression. Did you see that? Even Prime Minister Zheng admires me so much!
Huh, sit down and discuss painting with me? Are you worthy?
You are just a younger brother!
When Miao Mu turned his eyes to the painting again, he showed a serious look of appreciation, and he was about to show his true skills.
"This painting should have been completed within a quarter of an hour, or even less!"
Miao Mu opened her mouth.
"Ah? No way? Can you paint a famous painting in a quarter of an hour?"
Fang Lun raised his hand and was shocked: "The so-called famous paintings, shouldn't they be carefully crafted?"
"The state of making flowers come true depends on the feeling. Of course, the longer you paint, the easier it is to feel it. It's like archery. After shooting a few arrows, you feel it. That's how you can shoot an arrow!"
"
Miao Mu found an easy-to-understand metaphor.
"Master Miao is indeed amazing. This painting was indeed completed within a quarter of an hour!"
After Zheng Qingfang said this, many people began to marvel.
"A master who can complete a famous painting in a quarter of an hour must have extraordinary painting skills!"
Qi Muen was shocked and looked at the corner of the scroll, looking for the signature, but found that it was not there.
Others were also amazed and talking, while Gu Xiuxun and An Xinhui stared at Sun Mo and looked at his expression. That's right, it was him who drew it.
"The composition of this painting is very simple, and there is no profound artistic conception. It is simply the master who took the initiative and painted it. However, despite its simplicity, it embodies the master's care, love and affection for this girl.
The emotions were perfectly presented.”
Miao Mu lamented: "The biggest impression given by this "Spring Rain" is that it is clean, pure and without a trace of impurities."
"Eh? Does the teacher really like me so much?"
Lu Zhiruo was stunned and looked at Sun Mo. She felt that she was too stupid and had poor qualifications. Compared to Li Ziqi and Ying Baiwu, the teacher definitely liked them more. But now it seems that she had misunderstood the teacher?
Sun Mo chuckled and rubbed Papaya Girl's head.
"whee!"
Lu Zhiruo smiled brightly and threw away those chaotic thoughts in an instant. No matter what, in my heart, I am the teacher’s favorite kid!
Li Ziqi curled her lips, and suddenly a strong feeling of envy arose in her heart. I really want the teacher to draw a picture for me!
There is no need for a famous painting, as long as it is drawn by the teacher.
Sun Mo curled his lips, no wonder Miao Mu was so arrogant, he was indeed proud of his strength.
"To appreciate this kind of famous painting, you don't need to think too much, and you can't think too much. Just appreciate the beauty!"
Miao Mu concluded and gave a thumbs up: "This master is really awesome!"
Everyone looked at the scroll again.
On the tender green banana leaves, there are crystal clear raindrops sliding down, dark ants crawling in a mess, and the earthy smell of the wet soil, which seems to be rushing towards your face, can be felt through the painting.
.
Indeed, looking at this famous painting, the chaotic emotions of the guests will calm down quickly, faster than burning incense, bathing and drinking tea.
"Prince Li, what do you think?"
Zheng Qingfang asked.
Li Ziqi's face was already ugly. The painting was good, but because of this painting, he thought of his son who died tragically.
Although it is an unsatisfactory thing, no, even a dog in the prince's house is not your turn to deal with.
"Haha, what a great painting!"
Li Ziqi praised her, but in her heart, she had already decided that when she had the chance, she would kidnap this girl from Zhongzhou University and sell her to the most remote country so that you would never see each other again.
"Prime Minister Zheng, I wonder which master made this painting?"
Miao Mu was curious because he found that this famous painting was not signed, so he could only ask.
"Gandalf!"
Introduction by Zheng Qingfang.
"Who? Who is Gandalf who wrote "Journey to the West"?"
"I didn't expect that he was also a famous painter?"
"Tsk, a master of calligraphy and painting? He is actually a master of both calligraphy and painting?"
The guests were shocked.
Qi Muen was stunned when he heard the name, then subconsciously looked at Lu Zhiruo, and then followed her gaze to find Sun Mo.
"This girl really admires this Sun Mo!"
Qi Muen muttered, always feeling that this famous painting had something to do with Sun Mo.
"Oh, why are you surprised? Didn't you see it just now? That "Early Spring Outing Picture" is also signed by Master Gandalf!"
An old man was speechless. He was indeed a vulgar person. He didn't even know how to appreciate paintings and could only pretend to be arty.
"..."
The guests were speechless. Who had the time to pay attention to the signature just now? They were all thinking about how to avoid donating money. After all, compared to money, who painted the famous painting is not important.
"Prime Minister Zheng, I wonder if I can part with this famous painting?"
Qi Muen struggled for a while, but still begged. After all, he also loved painting. When he saw it, he didn't want to miss it.
"Prince-in-law Qi, you are trying to kill me!"
Zhang Hanfu refused.
"Uncle Zheng, since you can get two famous paintings of Gandalf and you must be familiar with him, can you help me introduce him?"
Qi Prince Consort retreated and sought the next best thing.
With his status, he definitely had no chance of advancement in his official career, so he started to engage in art and became an artistic man.
"How about I tell you this after I ask Master Gandalf for his opinion?"
Zheng Qingfang did not agree haphazardly.
"Then please!"
After Qi Muen bowed his hands and saluted, he became excited again: "Isn't there another famous painting? Take it out quickly!"
"Is this third painting the finale?"
Fang Lun guessed.
"Just now, everyone has admired Master Miao's Tripitaka paintings and praised them very highly. Now, I also have one for you to review."
Following Zheng Qingfang's words, the big man unfolded the scroll, and a picture of "Three Tibetan Journeys to the West" appeared in front of everyone. For a moment, the entire Linjiang Palace was silent.
When everyone looked at this picture, all words were lost, and all their minds were attracted by Sanzang's resolute face.
Isn’t Miao Mu’s Tripitaka good?
Very good, it is already a rare product, but there is no harm without comparison. Compared with this painting, it is the younger brother within the brother!
Strictly speaking, the famous painting presented by Zheng Qingfang is at best a portrait. It is extremely simple, but the simpler it is, the easier it is for people to resonate with it.
Those present, especially the old people, couldn't help but sigh. Time is ruthless and youth is passing by. Who doesn't want to live a few more years?
To be honest, when most people reach this age, they just muddle along, but after seeing this famous painting, their spirits suddenly become full of energy.
"Haha, wonderful! Wonderful!"
An old man laughed, stroking his beard, and stared at this picture of Tripitaka's journey to the west: "I have long wanted to go north to see the magnificent scenery of the desert, but I was worried about dying on the way, so I couldn't make the trip for a long time!"
"It's ridiculous! It's sad! It's deplorable!"
"I am not dead, but my heart is dead!"
After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand towards Zheng Qingfang: "Brother Zheng, I leave my family to you!"
After finishing speaking, the old man laughed and left with heroic steps. His ambition was ignited by this famous painting, and he wanted to fulfill the ambition he had set when he was young!
"Eh? Father, father, you can't go!"
A middle-aged man is anxious and wants to chase him out. The family's current status depends entirely on his father's remaining power and connections. If he dies outside, the family's influence will be greatly reduced.
"Xiao Zhang, don't chase him, let him go!"
Zheng Qingfang advised him that they had known each other for a long time, but since he became an official in the court, Lao Zhang had never called him Brother Zheng again. Now that he calls him this again, it shows that his heart has returned to the past.
"calm down!"
Governor Fang kept telling himself not to do anything stupid. Now he had the urge to resign and fulfill his dream of traveling to famous mountains and rivers that he had set when he was young.
"This is the power of famous paintings!"
Qi Muen sighed with emotion.
At this moment, the entire hall was immersed in an inexplicable atmosphere.
In the past year or so, "Journey to the West" has been selling like hot cakes. It can be said that even illiterate ordinary people have heard about it from the storyteller's mouth.
At the craziest time, not to mention all the teahouses and restaurants in Jinling, even the simple tea shops in the suburbs, there were girls with red tea boards singing Journey to the West.
Precisely because everyone has read Journey to the West, their feelings will be particularly strong when they see this picture of Tripitaka's Journey to the West.
The Tripitaka in the painting no longer wears gorgeous cassocks, and no longer looks like a fair-faced eminent monk. He is tired from the journey, holding a white horse stained with mud, holding a nine-ringed tin staff, and trekking hard against the miasma beast.
The colors of this painting are not bright, and even because it uses more gray tones, at first glance, it seems depressing and struggling, which makes people very uncomfortable.
But this discomfort melted away like ice and snow in the sun after the viewer looked at Sanzang.
Sanzang's eyes were firm and unyielding, seeming to penetrate the fog and look towards the west!
Sanzang's steps were steady and bright, as if he could overcome thousands of disasters and overcome all kinds of dangers.
Tripitaka's expression showed no regrets and perseverance in retrieving the scriptures. No matter how difficult and far away the journey to the West was, he would definitely flinch.
That kind of will comes out of the picture and comes to your face.
Life is just trouble upon trouble!
Who is alive and has not encountered trouble?
Sometimes they really feel so tired that they just want to be so decadent, but when they see this famous painting, a strong fighting spirit is ignited in their hearts!
“I feel like I’m thirty years younger again!”
Li Zixing laughed.
Facing the rise of Zhongzhou University, am I actually anxious? A little nervous? Don’t be afraid, I will definitely be able to make it my own in my lifetime!
And the throne...
Li Zixing's eyes flickered and he bit his lip. And that chair, who said I would never have a chance to sit on it?
An Anhui is a mentally tough person. After withdrawing from the artistic conception of the famous painting, he looked at the signature and was stunned.
"Gandalf?"
Why is it this guy again? But it’s right to think about it. Journey to the West is the work of Gandalf. He painted the book, which is what the title should mean.
For some reason, An Anhui looked directly at Sun Mo, and then blinked.
Sun Mo shrugged helplessly, and then he heard the system prompt.
Ding!
Favorability from An Anhui +1000, reverence (11000/100000).
