Chapter 504: People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong
"It is also an honor for this painting to enter the eyes of His Royal Highness and the county lord." Gu Chengyu heard what the eldest princess meant, but he was not enthusiastic about this matter, and he did not feel flattered.
He is an official of the imperial court, but he does not rely on talent to make a living. Besides, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and dedicate this painting to the royal family, and many people may come to ask for the painting in the future, which will cause trouble to him.
It's not that he's arrogant, and it's not that he's unfounded. In the past, his calligraphy was also very famous in the capital, so many posts were sent to the concierge of the house every day, and some of them were either invited to participate in the literary meeting or asked for words.
These Gu Chengyu ignored them, and later he became a court official, and these posts were fewer.
Coupled with being dedicated to the royal family, it is a blessing.
The world loves Danqing, and even the women of the boudoir can't resist the charm of Danqing. If, after becoming famous, those dignitaries and nobles also come to ask him to paint, then he will offend people if he does not do it. But if it does, there will be no days of peace in the future.
It's not that Gu Chengyu's paintings are rare in the world, he is self-aware. His paintings are really good, and it can be said that they are not worse than those famous artists.
But everyone has their own eyes, and it can't be everyone's favorite. There must be many people in the world who draw better than him.
Because this kind of painting method is only available to him for the time being, a new thing spreads, and the world follows the trend, and those nobles also like freshness, don't they?
Seeing Gu Chengyu's humble attitude, the eldest princess was very satisfied.
Such a talented person is not arrogant, and it can be seen that he is also sleek.
Lord Rongjia sat beside the eldest princess, looking at Gu Chengyu outside the curtain, and couldn't help but feel a little in a trance.
Yao Mengxian had already seen Gu Chengyu's skills, but she was not shocked.
"When I go back, I'll learn how to draw too." You Yinan and the person next to him said softly.
"I see that every time Lord Gu says that seeing it in a book is an excuse, but I am well-read, why haven't I seen it?" Zhou Yuewei guessed to the person next to him.
"That's because you are lonely and unheard, there was such a painting method in the previous dynasty, but it was lost in the end. The last time I saw it in a book, it was mentioned. ”
Lu Chen glanced at Gu Chengyu and explained to Zhou Yuewei.
Zhou Yuewei's suspicious gaze swept over Lu Chen, although he didn't believe it, he didn't refute it in the end.
Gu Chengyu frowned when he heard this, he didn't know why Lu Chen wanted to help him lie.
Because Lu Chen's puzzled expression when he saw him painting just now didn't seem to be fake, if he had seen such a painting method in a book, then why would he be so puzzled about his painting method?
It's just that he won't expose him! No matter what the other party's purpose is, he will never accept it.
"Sister Yuan, the painting has been completed, you said that you want to embroider one according to it, and my mother is waiting to see your finished product."
The eldest princess also sighed a little when she looked at the five-foot-long painting, the Qionghua in this painting was simply breathtaking. If it is embroidery, Qionghua is the most difficult place to start.
Although the woman under the Qionghua tree does not have much ink, her graceful dancing posture is ethereal and spotless. The stunning beauty that looms under the tulle is even more fascinating.
This painting has been preserved, and it is appropriate to dedicate it to the queen mother. If it spreads, it will hinder Sister Yuan's reputation.
Whoever sees the woman in this painting will guess the woman's appearance, and it will be unforgettable. Her daughter's appearance was YY, how could she accept it?
"Mother, the layout of this painting is huge, and it takes a lot of thought for my daughter! Don't rush me, I'll satisfy you. ”
Lord Rong Jia really liked this painting, and she didn't want her mother to give it to her grandmother. If you already have embroidery, why paint?
She was going to wait a few days, and begged her mother to keep the painting. There is only such an opportunity for Gu Chengyu to leave a painting today, and if I want to ask Gu Chengyu to paint in the future, I am afraid it will not be so easy.
In fact, the eldest princess also thought about it, and wanted to ask Gu Chengyu to paint a picture for her mother. Gu Chengyu's portrait is very realistic, but it has the same eyebrows and eyes as himself, but it is a little more beautiful than himself.
Gu Chengyu is very good at grasping the demeanor and charm of the characters, and it seems that she is good at painting beauties, which makes her also tempted. She boasts of her beauty, and although the painters in the palace have superb painting skills, they are inevitably a little distorted, and she pursues beauty excessively, but she is not very similar to herself.
Who doesn't want to keep their beautiful face? Although the eldest princess had a thought, she didn't propose it at this time.
In the future, Brother Min and Master Gu will often come and go, and if he finds another opportunity, Gu Chengyu will not have the courage to refuse.
There are so many people today, it's really a bit inconvenient.
The drums in the women's place sounded again, and Gu Chengyu sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. He had spent a lot of time just now, and he needed to rest now.
Gu Chengyu looked at the sky, and estimated that it should be three o'clock, and it seemed that it should be time for the banquet.
"Yikes! Third sister, it was transferred to you. ”
Yao Mengdie received the flower just now, rubbed it for a while, and reluctantly handed the flower in her hand to Yao Mengxian.
Who would have thought, as soon as Yao Mengxian grabbed the flower and was about to hand it to Miss Zheng on the side, the drum beat suddenly stopped.
Yao Mengxian was very helpless, with the county lord green waist dancing Zhuyu in front, she was the only one who could play the piano.
But as far as she knows, seven or eight out of ten of the girls here are good players.
In fact, what she is best at is dancing, but it's a pity that after the county lord of Rongjia danced, don't talk about herself, even if everyone had such a plan, they had to give up.
"I'll tell you a tune!" Yao Mengxian stood up and blessed everyone.
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised that the flowers fell into Yao Mengxian's hands, but he was a little curious about what talent the little girl would perform.
"Second sister, can you lend me your piano?" Yao Mengxian practiced an ordinary piano on weekdays, and she was hooked off by Yao Mengdie before, and her piano was being repaired, so she didn't bring it today.
Knowing that they might have to show off their talents today, the girls naturally bring their usual musical instruments or dancing clothes when they go out.
There are a lot of girls present with guqins, but the timbre of each piano is different, and it is not the owner who naturally can't play the best.
And no one would want to lend such a private thing to others.
However, Yao Mengxian and Yao Menglian are their own sisters, and the younger sister didn't bring the piano, so she naturally can't care about being a sister.
However, Yao Menglian was embarrassed, "Third sister, this is really unfortunate. On the way here, I accidentally broke the strings. ”
"Fourth sister, your piano will be lent to your third sister first." Yao Menglian pulled Yao Mengdie's sleeve and motioned for Yao Mengdie to take out the piano first.
Yao Mengdie looked surprised, "Second sister! I didn't bring a piano with me! What can I do? ”
After speaking, both of them looked eager.
Yao Mengxian looked at this posture, her heart sank slightly, she understood that this was discussed by the two before.
