Chapter 207: The Best Painting
Tang Mo'er looked at it with grateful eyes, Shen Ao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he had done a lot of bad things in his life, but not many good things, and what he said today was also a mistake, he was secretly ashamed in his heart, touched the two books in his hand, and smiled slightly: "Mo'er is polite, didn't the master say it?" We are family. ”
He grinned heartily and bit the three words of the family very hard, which still meant it.
Tang Mo'er is so smart, how can she not understand the sound outside of these words, her face can't help but be dyed with a layer of red, but she said generously: "Clever words, fresh and benevolent." ”
Shen Ao smiled slightly, clever words, Xian Yiren's sentence comes from the Analects, which means: full of flattering rhetoric, full of hypocrisy, this kind of person has no benevolence; However, these words came from Tang Mo'er's mouth, which made Shen Ao feel a different flavor.
Tang Mo'er suddenly said this, deliberately borrowing Confucius's words to fight back at his ambiguous words, but at the same time, it gave Shen Ao a problem, if he wanted to fight back, he had to come up with a way to solve the problem.
It's really not easy to talk to this Miss Tang, and a casual sentence gives rise to a problem; Shen Ao felt a little bitter in his heart, thought about it for a while, and said: "The villain and the gentleman retreat, without him, use talent instead of virtue, so also." ”
This sentence is Shen Ao's breakthrough, that is, the villain is promoted, but the gentleman is dismissed, not because of anything else, but because he should use his talent instead of virtue. The other meaning is that in this worldly world where there is no virtue. Gentlemen are often alienated by others, and clever villains can get close to people, in and out of words, this is not only a problem, but also shows Shen Ao's outlook on life, he was born in this society, he must adapt to this society, blindly to learn Tang Yan's kind of gentleman is not advisable, Shen Ao would rather be a real villain, close to people, and dirty.
Breaking the question is a truth, and it has a meaning, benevolence, righteousness and morality, Shen Ao has read more than anyone else, but after all, benevolence, righteousness and morality are in books, he was born in the world, he does not live in the golden house in the book, and he is not accompanied by Yan Ruyu, so he has no choice but to be a real villain.
Tang Mo'er blinked, but glanced at Shen Ao curiously, and said: "There are many people in the world who claim to be gentlemen, but there are very few who call themselves villains, but how many people can really achieve the unity of knowledge and action and abide by the style of a gentleman?" Shen Gongzi's words and deeds are frank, but Mo'er admires him, I hope Gongzi can be a real villain who hangs the pot to help the world, in this way, even clever words will make Mo'er admire. ”
Shen Ao nodded and said with a slight smile: "Mo'er's words, Shen Ao remembers. But ......" Shen Ao smiled bitterly: "When Mo'er talks to me in the future, can you not play so many dumb riddles, if I can't answer for a while, then I will lose face." ”
Tang Mo'er chuckled and said angrily: "You are a talented man in Bianjing, if you can't even answer the scriptures, wouldn't it be in vain?" ”
Shen Ao rarely looked at Tang Mo'er smiling, this smile had a naughty spirit of an elf, which was very touching. Shen Ao unconsciously said: "I am a talented man in Bianjing, you are a talented woman in Bianjing, but you are quite fateful; Miss Mo'er said so, if I play this kind of dumb riddle in the future, I will have to respond to it. ”
Tang Mo'er bit her lip, but she was a little at a loss, Shen Ao was such a thick-skinned person, she had seen it for the first time, how could she climb up the pole like this, so she immediately said: "Mo'er is going back, Gongzi be careful." His shoulders trembled slightly as he turned around, apparently in a state of emotional gaffe, and then disappeared into the corner.
Shen Ao stroked the book in his hand, but he was stunned for a while, his mind was thinking, he glanced at the book, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "The bait sent by the master, shouldn't this son bite the hook?" Okay, let's go back and research it first. ”
When I returned to the Guogong Mansion, I was already tired, I fell asleep, woke up in the middle of the night, got out of bed in my clothes and shoes and went to read the Jingyi model texts copied by Tang Yan, most of these model texts were plain, among the more than a dozen articles, there was only one good one, compared to the collection of the Gongfu, but it was far worse, but the meaning of this book was different, Shen Ao thought with affection, why did I see Miss Zhou, so I talked to Miss Zhou, and when I saw Zhen Zhen, I did something deviant, and Chun'er, that sad appearance made me sad, and now I met Miss Mo'er, But let yourself have feelings, will you be too affectionate? I wasn't like this before, could it be that something went wrong when I traveled through time and space?
He sat dumbfounded and put down the scroll, but he smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that it was not a matter of traveling through time and space, and the root cause of the problem might still lie with himself. He has a strong possessive desire and can't tolerate beautiful things falling into the hands of others, just like the treasures of his previous life, it is because he chose the art thief industry, risking being wanted, and using wisdom and courage to steal rare antiques handed down from generation to generation.
Could it be that his penchant for antiques has shifted to women?
Shen Ao was stunned for a while, but he felt that it seemed inappropriate to use treasures to compare the beauties he came into contact with, but he couldn't find a reason to explain it, and he fell asleep under the dizziness and swelling.
…………………………………………………………………… In the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, the lights were bright, and after a night, several masterpieces of the painting examination were finally released after the discussion of several bachelors and attendants.
The next question is how to rank them, which is difficult to do, knowing that these paintings are all carefully selected paintings, and it is not so easy to choose the good and bad from them.
In particular, a 'Xiaoxiang lady' and another 'palace fairy' are the most outstanding, for this reason, several bachelors, waiters argued, and in the end, these two paintings fell to Zhao Lingsui's case, Zhao Lingsui is the chief examiner of the painting examination hand-picked by the official, and he will judge, which can naturally make people speechless.
Zhao Lingsui's spirit was slightly tired, at this time the spirit couldn't help but lift up, moved the candlestick on the case closer, first went to see the picture of the Xiaoxiang lady, at first glance, I understood in my heart that the style of this painting is his second son Zhao Boqi. It is a painting of Aiko, he is very serious, the background color of this painting is excellent, the brush is delicate, the beauty of the palace is fully revealed, especially the flowers and birds, it is more expressive to the extreme, as if there is an aura, the mind is slightly in a trance, it seems to be able to see the flowers swaying, fragrant, and can hear the birdsong faintly coming, which makes people feel refreshed.
As for the lady in front of the pavilion, she only peeked out of the small window, vaguely visible, this lady seemed to be looking at the flowers, but also seemed to be listening to the singing of the birds, although it was only faintly visible in the painting, but it seemed to be able to feel a faint smile on her long face, fine eyes, and cherry lips.
Although the lady is laughing, but placed in this painting, only flowers and birds as a companion, carved beams and painted pavilions, but only a lonely figure, in this way, but a little more sad, this sadness is not from the flowers and birds, not from the smile of the lady implied, but between the characters and flowers and birds, between the characters and the pavilion, that strong contrast, to create a deep palace resentment.
Zhao Lingsui couldn't help but sigh: "This painting is so good, it is hopefully sad, and it is well deserved to be selected for the academy." "I am very pleased that Bo Qiao's painting skills have improved a lot, and this painting has played his best level.
However, although Zhao Lingsui is quite appreciative of the second son, he also understands in his heart that he is best at painting palaces, flowers and birds, Zhao Boqiao is familiar with his ears and eyes, and his ability to paint palaces, flowers and birds is not bad.
Moreover, the ladies leaning out of the attic were quite jerky under the brush, showing that Zhao Boqiao tried his best to depict the graceful and lazy body, but in the end, due to the lack of pen power, he added a little bit to the painting.
"My lord, does this painting deserve to be the first place in the painting test?" A bearded scholar looked at Zhao Lingyu and asked.
Zhao Lingsui smiled: "I'll take a look at another painting." Then he asked someone to collect Zhao Boqi's painting, spread out another 'palace fairy picture', and took a cursory look, but he just wanted to take a cursory look, but he was surprised: "This painting has Gu Kaizhi's expressive brush." He couldn't help but be a little excited, the pen of the spirit is simple, but where is it so easy, how many people in the world can do it throughout the ages?
He sat on the desk to look at the painting, the background color rendering is excellent, the painter is obviously very skilled in the background color of the practice, so that the whole painting appears pure and soft, the flowers and birds in the painting are better than the talented Xiaoxiang ladies and women, the birds are like expressive, one by one in the palace or want to lead the singing, or spread their wings to fly, lively feelings, leaping on the paper.
The attic in the painting is splendid, endless, and graceful to the extreme, although it does not realistically paint the palace pavilion into it, but this exaggerated technique just confirms the luxurious beauty of the court.
The brushstrokes used by the painters are sometimes delicate, but sometimes thick, and the brushwork is different, but the fit of the two brushstrokes is extremely meticulous, and at a glance, there is not the slightest flaw.
Zhao Lingsui was quite shocked in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he was afraid that he thought that Gu Kaizhi had reborn, such a painterly and skillful technique, I was afraid that in the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, there were only a few old bachelors who could compare with it. What amazed him even more was the ladies in the courtyard, the ladies were elegant and gorgeous, playing in the courtyard, their movements were leisurely, with a slight smile on their faces, and their charming posture jumped on the paper.
Zhao Ling sighed, lowered his head to the table, and concentrated on looking at the ladies in the painting, the color skills used by the ladies were clear, the fading of the faces, and the decoration of the clothes were all extremely ingenious. The translucent and soft light yarn, the moist luster of the skin, are all painted similarly, only this lady, you can see that the painter has a unique ingenuity, the lady painted the delicate to the extreme. The delicacy of the ladies is in sharp contrast to the rough and open-mindedness of the background, one loose and one tight, but the whole painting is more vivid.
Zhao Lingsui couldn't help laughing, and muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that this person actually used two different painting methods. ”
This is strange, to be able to combine the two painting methods into one, in the painting does not look jerky, and there will be no abrupt diaphragm, this person's painting skills, I am afraid that it is a little more clever than what I imagined.
Zhao Lingsui glanced at it, and finally landed on the lady's eyes, the eyes were smiling, but the foothold of the eyes was a moon hole not far away, what was behind the moon hole? Is this lady looking forward to the king's coming? But after the moon cave is empty, dark and deep, the lady is disappointed again and again, although it is deliberately to enjoy the leisurely and idle life, but in the depths of the heart, it must be extremely miserable, careful observation, only to find that the lady's joy, it turns out that it is all disguise, and behind the forced smile, there is a strong sense of resentment.
The lady's eyes are precisely the finishing touch of the whole painting, the person who painted is actually ingenious, only a little bit, the original happy painting painted as miserable, resentful, so painting, rare in the world, its talent is quick, but also to teach people to shoot the case.
