Chapter 1973: Tucao Brigade
In fact, in the matter of art exhibitions, few people support Han Yi, and it can be said that except for Xiao Wuyi, almost no one supports Han Yi.
Because the ancients admired a humble gentleman, holding an art exhibition is too high-profile, which is completely opposite to traditional thinking, even if Yan Liben wants to hold an art exhibition, it will definitely be ridiculed by many people, which is unavoidable, but Yan Liben is famous after all, there will definitely be some people who support it, but Wang Yuntu disappeared for more than ten years, and when he left, he was only an apprentice, not yet the year of the weak crown, if he was not born in Langya Wang, he was not famous at all.
And the businessmen who have always supported Han Yi the most, they don't understand art at all, none of the traditional businessmen buy tickets to see the art exhibition, and those who understand art are all from the scholar class, so in this matter, Han Yi is almost alone and lacks supporters.
Even that Wang Xiansu regretted signing a contract with Han Yi, he didn't expect that this matter would be so big.
But there is no way, Han Yi is rich, he can rent the entire amusement park, and this is not something illegal, if you are unhappy, you should not come to see it.
But on the other hand, he always said that you didn't see it, why comment on it, for those who have seen Wang Yuntu's paintings, he said that it is just an example, those people don't understand art.
Han Yi is so arrogant, which causes many people to be dissatisfied with this, so these five hundred tickets are sold out quickly, because if you don't go to see it, then you can't argue with Han Yi.
But basically, it's the young people who buy the tickets, and those scholars are still a little forced, and you have to ask me to guide you when you are a junior to hold an art exhibition, this is our traditional thinking, and let me buy a ticket to see it, which is really insulting.
The problem is that it is Han Yi who holds the exhibition, not Wang Yuntu, and Han Yi also sent tickets to some people who have a good relationship with him, and he will not invite those scholars.
Although the time is not very long, this exhibition has become the top priority in the Shilin and even among the scholars, and the victory or defeat lies in the opening day of the exhibition.
Han Yi was the first to use the ticketing system, and there was a postponement mechanism for ticket sales in ancient times, because it was impossible to predict whether it would rain or not, and it would be postponed if it rained.
Everyone looks forward to it every day, don't let it rain, they can't wait.
On the day of the opening, the blue sky, as if washed, there were a few big white clouds floating on it, as if reaching out for it, very beautiful, everyone was very excited, it was impossible to rain on this day, so the person who bought the ticket immediately got into the carriage and rushed to the amusement park.
So, a long team was sent in the amusement park, all of them were young people, the oldest was not more than thirty-five years old, and Wang Yuntu was the same generation, and there was no one who was a generation older than Wang Yuntu.
Everyone was very excited, but the reason why they were excited was because after today, they couldn't tolerate Han Yi's arrogance, and this time they had to criticize Han Yi fiercely and take a good breath. In the past, it was always difficult for them to gain the upper hand in morality, but there was no way, Han Yi always stood on the side of the people and occupied the moral high ground, now this is art, and it is really a shame if Han Yi can't be killed!
To put it simply, they're actually here to find fault.
As soon as the hour came, the gate of the amusement park slowly opened, and everyone walked inside in an orderly manner, it was almost impossible to see the queue in Chang'an, and they were all used to it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside."
Entering the hospital, I saw a peugeot-looking, mature and generous woman who greeted me.
As soon as this kind of mature, beautiful, dignified and generous woman appears on this occasion, it is not a courtesan, and it is certain that she is a palace prostitute.
Aristocratic women don't do this kind of thing, and ordinary people can't do it, only palace prostitutes and official prostitutes can do it.
This woman's name is Miaozhuang, a palace prostitute, and now she is in charge of the special occasions of the amusement park, that is, when a distinguished guest comes, she will come forward to greet her.
"Sister Miaozhuang, is Brother Han here?"
Yuwen Xiumi leaned forward and asked anxiously.
Miao Zhuang said: "If you go back to Yuwen Gongzi, I haven't seen Shang Shuling for the time being. ”
"What? Brother Han is not here? ”
"Isn't this exhibition organized by Brother Han? How could he not be? ”
As soon as these sons heard that Han Yi was not there, they immediately complained.
They are here to slap Han Yi's face, the painting is not the protagonist, Wang Yuntu is not the protagonist, Wang Yuntu has been ridiculed for so many days, he doesn't even dare to go out of the door, there is no pleasure in mocking Wang Yuntu, Han Yi is the only protagonist.
Miao Zhuang hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, although I don't know the specific situation, but as far as I know, Shang Shuling will definitely come today." ”
In this way, the resentment will be appeased.
He Ruohan said: "Then take us to see the painting that was blown to the sky by Brother Han." ”
“...... Ladies and gentlemen, please. ”
Miaozhuang led them to the garden behind the amusement park, this garden and the Yuan family can not be compared, is Li Ji specially used to entertain some distinguished guests, because the ancients still pay attention to the unity of heaven and man, they do not like to destroy the environment at the expense of providing themselves with living space, they like to integrate with nature, for the rich, especially so, plus there is no light in this year, everyone likes to be outside, so this garden is indispensable, only to see here lush green, lush trees, birds singing and flowers, There is a corridor in the middle, which winds through it, and this corridor is the place where the exhibition is held.
"How can there be guards? Isn't Your Majesty coming? ”
Yuwen Xiumi saw that there were many guards with knives around the corridor, and he couldn't help but be surprised, if Li Zhi was here, then the money would be spent in vain.
Miao Zhuang said: "That's right, because these paintings were borrowed by Shang Shuling from the Wang family, if they are damaged or lost, Shang Shuling can't explain to the Wang family." ”
"It's hard to lose this broken painting!"
A boy snorted.
Miao Zhuang smiled politely, Quan Dang didn't hear it, and continued: "There are a total of 300 paintings here, and I hope that all distinguished guests will not touch ......the paintings with their hands. ”
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, these boys waved their hands and walked in.
I saw that the whole corridor is a painting, all of which are made of traditional canvases, beige, most of them are colored, all of them are inlaid in the plaques, and then hung on both sides, or hung on the beams, almost all of them are suspended, and there is a red silk on each side, warning everyone not to reach out and touch the painting.
I have to say that this is the first art exhibition in history, and the people who come here suddenly see so many paintings, and they are all readers, and they can't help but feel a little excited in their hearts.
But they soon remembered the purpose of coming here today, and we came to complain, and we all approached and stared at it, but we saw that the paintings were mainly people, but most of them were long shots, and they didn't know what the meaning of painting was.
After a while, I heard a complaint: "What is this painting called, it's too prosaic." ”
"I'm embarrassed to take out this painting technique to hold an art exhibition."
"Brother Han is really good at trading, and this painting can also earn us a hundred dollars."
"But it's clear that he doesn't know anything about art!"
"Haha!"
Soon, the roof was shattered by a burst of laughter.
Yuwen Xiu Mi was laughing, and suddenly saw Ji You He Ruohan standing in front of a painting, stunned, and did not laugh at them, so he walked over and said curiously: "He Ruo, what are you looking at?" ”
He Ruohan said: "Brother, do you look familiar with this painting?" ”
Yuwen Xiumi stared, "Have I been here?" ”
He Ruohan said: "This is the largest coal mine of the Yuan family in Lelang Prefecture. ”
Yuwen Xiu was surprised: "How do you know? ”
He Ruohan pointed his hand downward.
Yuwen Xiumi looked down, but saw a wooden board erected under the painting, and it was clearly written on the wooden board when this painting was born and where the scenery in the painting was.
"Really!"
Yuwen Xiumi was slightly startled, raised his eyes again, and wondered: "The two of us have been to this place, but it doesn't look like it!" ”
He Ruohan said: "When we left, this coal mine was not built, and this was painted the year before last, of course it is different. ”
"It's only been a few years! In this way, there are dozens of donkeys transporting coal in the painting alone. ”
At this moment, a young boy came over, "Yuwen, He Ruo, what are you looking at here?" ”
"Look at it, this painting is the largest coal mine of the Yuan family in Lelang Prefecture, and it should also be the largest coal mine in our Datang, I will go here!"
"Really?"
"What a lie to you, all the best coal in our Chang'an comes from here."
While speaking, a young and delicate lady walked over, bowed respectfully, and said: "A few distinguished guests are really good eyes, and this is the largest coal mine in Lelang Prefecture, Xuansu Coal Mine." As she spoke, she began to introduce the painting, when it was painted, and what the characters in the painting were doing.
Yuwen Xiumi and they listened very attentively, and they had also been there, and when the lady finished introducing him, he couldn't help but talk about his experience over there, and some interesting stories about their competition for the coal mine.
Chatting and chatting, Yuwen Xiumi suddenly found that the laughter had disappeared, and there were voices of women talking everywhere, with some voices of discussion and inquiry, looking left and right, and found that everyone was standing in front of the painting in twos and threes, communicating with those ladies, and was very surprised in his heart, what is the situation? Say that everyone is coming to complain? So they ran to their friends and said, "What are you looking at?" ”
"Don't say it yet."
The boy first stopped the maid who was introduced, and then said to Yuwen Shumi: "Brother Yuwen, do you know what the characters in the painting are doing?" ”
Yuwen Xiumi stared at it, but saw that there was a dock in the painting, and a boat was docked on the pier, and dozens of people were standing on the dock, among which there were several men in uniform. So he said, "Isn't this the dock?" ”
"Take a closer look."
Yuwen Xiumi looked at it again and said, "It's strange, it seems to be night, there are torches all around, how can they go out at night, and why are there so many old Confucian women and children inside, and it doesn't look like a cargo ship, their expressions seem to be very nervous." ”
The boy smiled: "This is the Bozhou wharf, painted a few years ago, that is, in the middle of the crisis. ”
"Really?"
Yuwen Xiumi and He Ruohan said in unison.
"Hmm."
The boy said: "At that time, a crisis broke out in Bozhou, the price of salt rose, and at the same time, the imperial court was collecting taxes in advance, but according to the policy of our dynasty at that time, the people could not leave the place of household registration casually, so these people wanted to secretly leave Bozhou at night and flee to Yangzhou." ”
He Ruohan immediately said: "I understand, they must have been caught, don't you see that there are many servants in the painting?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the boy and several friends around him laughed, and even the lady introduced on the side covered their lips and laughed.
He Ruohan said embarrassedly: "What are you laughing at, aren't you?" ”
The boy pointed to the painting and said, "He Ruo, what do you see that official doing?" ”
He Ruohan took a closer look and said, "This official seems to be counting money." ”
"There is also a common man standing next to him, these officials are not here to arrest them at all, but to collect money, and they have to give money to be able to leave Bozhou."
"What? This... How unreasonable! ”
He Ruohan said angrily.
Another boy said: "At that time, everyone was trying their best to make money. ”
"I also saw a painting over there just now, where a few officials came to the door in broad daylight and snatched away other people's daughters, just because the people couldn't pay taxes."
"Alas... I had heard that it was very chaotic, but I didn't expect it to be so dark. ”
