Baochai smiled: "The sisters at the head of the family can't see good things, but my brother still gives it like this, don't you know that the family is generous." ”

Baochai is humble, but Baoyu doesn't think so, "There's a word," Baoyu smiled, "Big brother's things, there's nothing bad, I often read the copybook at the third sister in Su Ri, but the third sister is very stingy, the handbook sent by the eldest brother, I am not allowed to look at it, there are good things today, I am waiting to see it." ”

"I'm a stingy person there," Tanchun said with a smile, "It's just that the second brother, you always read the calligraphy while drinking tea, in case you stain the calligraphy given by Brother Xue, wouldn't it be my sin, so I won't show it to the second brother." ”

Xue Pan laughed, he instructed Yang Zhi and others to put a few long boxes on the big yellow rosewood table on the side, everyone got up one after another, and went to the table together, looking at how Xue Pan wanted to offer treasures, Xue Pan said mysteriously, "These are my favorite things, if it weren't for my treat today, I wouldn't have taken them out for you to see." ”

Daiyu smiled, "Could it be the calligraphy and painting that Brother Pan wrote when he was a child?" If not, where is it so precious? ”

"Don't laugh at me," Xue Pan nodded Daiyu's nose, "In case I become a world-famous writer in the future, writing famous sentences through the ages, I'm afraid that my word is a thousand gold, such as Li Taibai, his balcony stickers are hard to find." ”

In the third year of Tianbao, Li Bai traveled to Wangwushan Balcony Palace with Du Fu and Gao Shi. Li Bai wanted to visit Sima Chengzhen, a former Taoist priest, and when he arrived at the balcony, he knew that he had passed away and had no chance to see him again. I didn't see him, but I saw his paintings, and I felt that I made a four-word poem "On the Balcony":

The mountains are high and the waters are long, and there are thousands of things,

If you don't have an old pen, you can be strong and poor.

On the eighteenth, I went to the balcony to read, too white.

"On the balcony post" has a total of 25 words, its book is vigorous and vigorous and elegant, with the pen indulgent and free, strong and smooth, it is the "Li Bai tombstone" in the "high pen Yi" called it "high pen Yi" excellent portrayal. Li Bai's poems have been glorious through the ages, and there is only one calligraphy work that has been handed down, which shows its preciousness.

"It's absolutely hard to find outsiders, but if it's Sister Lin, I might as well write some to my sister first, and then my sister can sell words to make money."

Daiyu smiled, "I don't want your words, how can Sister Bao's words be written elegantly and handsomely, Brother Pan's words, I think about it, and only the rampant and domineering crab can compare." ”

Everyone laughed: "Then why don't you hurry up and teach him a lesson?" ”

"I don't dare to teach," Daiyu said with a smile, "There are so many masters in the palace, if I become Brother Pan's master, I'm afraid that they will all run out and scold me for not knowing etiquette." ”

Xue Pan ignored everyone, just opened a long wooden box first, rolled up the pale yellow silk cloth inside, only to see that there was a painting inside, the silk is simple and simple, the color is yellow-brown, obviously it has been preserved for many years, and the paintings inside are also very strange, whether it is flowers, birds, landscapes or people, they are all properly arranged, far and near, or light and heavy, not like satin window flowers and the like, they are all repeated patterns, this painting is actually the same as the pattern on the satin, Densely piled up a whole piece of silk, everyone looked fixedly, only to see the yellow-brown silk, large and small painted with all kinds of birds, different sizes, the picture painted wagtails, sparrows, doves, turtles, insects and other animals more than 20 pieces, arranged disorderly, but each animal is depicted very accurately, subtle, even from the perspective of view is also impeccable.

Others don't know, but Tanchun Daiyu is well-read, Xichun is proficient in painting, but also knows what this painting is, sure enough, people must have something good, Xichun is just a little happy today, most of the time is still lazy, but when she saw this painting, she was very excited, she approached the boy and carefully looked at a white-headed fairy inside, only to see that the body was very finely carved, the claws appeared, the wings were transparent, fresh as life, "It's really amazing, this is just a small sketch, Can be so detailed! ”

Tanchun exclaimed: "This is actually Huang Zhen's "Sketch of Rare Birds"! ”

The first of these people are all knowledgeable, but Yingchun didn't know the content of painting, so he asked Tanchun, "Is this Huang Qian very famous?" ”

"Yes, Huang Zhen was a court painter in Western Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and successively served in the former Shu and later Shu, and entered the Northern Song Dynasty Painting Academy. Early to the name of the painting, good at flowers and birds, the painted birds are correct, both flesh and bone, the image is plump, the color is strong, the hook is fine, almost no handwriting, like light color dyeing, called "sketching method". Tanchun explained, "In the old years, he painted a picture of a white crane and hung it in the court, which actually attracted the white crane in captivity in the court of Shu to fly and dance with the white crane in the painting, which shows the truth of his painting." ”

Everyone looked at the painting, "Sketch of Rare Birds", this picture depicts more than 20 kinds of birds, insects, turtles, etc. The image is accurate and vivid, the brushwork is fine, and the color is soft and harmonious, which can be seen the depth of sketching skills. There is no certain chapter in the composition, the insects do not echo each other, and the lower left side of the painting is signed with a line of small characters "Fu Ziju Bao Xi", from which it can be seen that this "Sketch of Rare Birds" is only the material collected by the author for creation, and it is a manuscript handed over to his son Huang Jubao for copying practice.

Although Baoyu is not good at painting, but the aesthetic vision is still there, Xichun explained to him that this is just a draft painting painted by Huang Zhen for his son, and he can't help but admire it very much, "This manuscript is just a draft, it can be so lifelike, I look at the colorful parrot inside, and the old lady under the corridor looks very similar, the most important thing is not the appearance, the simple expression, is also carved out of a mold." ”

Daiyu also nodded, "Huang Zhen's paintings are all treasured by Ouchi, I heard my father tell me that he accompanied Wan Sui Ye to see Huang Qian's paintings in Ouchi before, and it is indeed excellent." ”

You say something, I say some, but the origin and origin of this painting, where it is good, are all clearly explained, just like Li Kun and others don't understand where this painting is good, they all know it, "It's really good," Li Kun smiled, "Only Brother Xue's family has such good things." ”

Xiangyun pointed to a brocade chicken with red feathers on its back and colorful tail, "The red clothes worn by the second brother today are very similar to this bird." ”

Seeing that Baoyu was wearing the arrow sleeves of the red hundred butterflies and the dark green pants today, everyone couldn't help but laugh and said, "What Yun Yatou said is very true!" ”
