Chapter 1385 The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival

When Shen Yue talked about Qin, not only Wanyan Zonghan was surprised, but Shiying's expression also changed.

But when Shen Yue talked about "painting", Wanyan Xiyin's expression was also moved, and he and Wanyan Zonghan exchanged a glance.

Then when Shen Yue said the words "Book, Chess".

The crowd became more confused.

Yang Yao frowned, thinking that what Shen Yue was talking about should be - piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?
This is the order in which people in the world are accustomed to address these four elegance, but why did Shen Yue reverse the order?How could these four words change the faces of people like Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin?

Everyone was surprised, Shen Yue smiled alone and said: "Bo Jilie, am I wrong?"

Wanyan Zonghan stared at Shen Yue for a while, then suddenly said: "Bring the painting!"

He gave such orders suddenly, which really made people puzzled, but immediately a person rushed in from outside the door, holding a cylinder in both hands, looking very cautious.

Wan Yan Zonghan took the cylinder, and suddenly pushed it, the dishes on the table fell to the ground, ping-pong-pong.

Wanyan Xiyin shouted: "Bo Jilie is not in a hurry, wait until I get someone to fetch the table."

Wanyan Zonghan seemed about to spread out the picture on the table, but he finally stopped when he heard what Wanyan Xiyin said.

When Wanyan Xiyin asked someone to fetch the table case, Wanyan Zonghan put the painting on the table, but only a small part of the picture could be unfolded on the table case, which shows that the scroll is very long.

Shen Yue focused on the first end of the painting scroll, and raised his eyebrows slightly, because at the top of the scroll, the position of the inscription was impressively inscribed with the words "Along the River during the Qingming Festival!"

Seeing Shen Yue staring at the scroll, Wanyan Zonghan said slowly, "What did you see, Mister?"

Even Wanyan Huowu was surprised - as long as she could remember, her father had never been so polite to a new acquaintance.How can Shen Yue and He De make Wanyan Zonghan treat each other so warmly?
Shen Yue first saw the desire in Wanyan Zonghan's eyes, but did not say it clearly, but said: "Different people look at this scroll, and they have different opinions."

Wanyan Zonghan immediately said: "Sir, just tell me, I will wait."

Shen Yue said slowly: "This should be the Qingming Riverside Map drawn by Zhang Zeduan."

Of course he knew about this painting, because in his time, this painting almost became a national treasure, and the author of the painting, Zhang Zeduan, was also famous for this painting.

According to textual research, the several characters of Qingming Shanghetu were inscribed by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. Next to the title, there is also the imprint left by the small seal of Shuanglong used by Huizong.

In later generations, Song Huizong's inscription and seal are not visible in this picture.

Although Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty was not a qualified king, he was definitely an excellent artist. His collection and inscriptions are also very valuable for collection. Later generations believed that if the inscriptions were missing, someone cut them out for money and sold them off.

The inscriptions and imprints in the picture scroll can still be seen now, Shen Yue feels slightly excited.

But his excitement was quickly interrupted by Wanyan Zonghan, "Mister also knows about Zhang Zeduan?"

Those who are familiar with "A Picture of Shanghe during the Qingming Festival" in later generations do not know Zhang Zeduan, just like those who know Lu Xun, they basically know Zhou Shuren, but Shen Yue heard some affection from Wanyan Zonghan, "Why can't I know?"

Yang Yao laughed and said, "Yang doesn't know."

He didn't interrupt because of Wanyan Zonghan's indifference, but just vaguely reminded Shen Yue.

Yang Yao had already noticed that since Wanyan Zonghan was not an elegant person, he brought a painting, and when he heard Shen Yue talk about "qin, painting, books, and chess", he was very strange.

This is enough to show that these four things hide things that Wanyan Zonghan is extremely concerned about.

And what people like Wanyan Zonghan care about is definitely not Fengya!
Wanyan Zonghan stared at Shen Yue, "How much do you know about Zhang Zeduan, sir?"

This question caught Shen Yue. He didn't expect that 800 years ago, there were people who would pay attention to his attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After pondering for a moment, Shen Yue said: "Well, he should be a court painter, good at boats and chariots, city bridges, and city walls." way of painting."

He didn't have much research on the Qingming Riverside Picture, and these analyzes are all speculations based on his own experience.

Wanyan Zonghan looked slightly disappointed, and glanced at Wanyan Xiyin.

Shen Yue was almost certain that Wanyan Zonghan and the others knew Zhang Zeduan better than him.

But a man of Jin is extremely vigorous, why would he care about a Song Dynasty painter who was not considered successful?

Zhang Zeduan was very famous in Shen Yue's time, but he was definitely not successful in Song Huizong's time, because although his pictures were inscribed by Song Huizong, they were rewarded by Song Huizong immediately, and Zhang Zeduan's birth record was extremely brief. Not the treatment that a famous painter in the Song Dynasty deserved!

After that, Bianjing was destroyed, and too many fine collections in the palace were acquired by Jinren. Wanyan Zonghan was famous among Jinren, so why was he only interested in Zhang Zeduan's paintings?

Shen Yue pondered inwardly, and said with a smile: "Perhaps Wushi can teach me a thing or two?"

Wanyan Xiyin coughed dryly, seeing that Wanyan Zonghan did not object, he finally said: "In fact, we have searched all over Bianjing, but we did not find Zhang Zeduan, and when we asked about the painter in the palace, everyone had little impression of him."

Shen Yue said with a smile, "It seems that this is an unwilling person."

No one cares about being poor in the busy city, and being rich has distant relatives in the mountains. This sentence is suitable for most people in the world.

If Zhang Zeduan was appreciated by Song Huizong, why would his colleagues in the palace lack understanding of him?
Wanyan Xiyin said again: "This man is a Hanlin, his calligraphy is upright, I heard that he has been traveling to study in the capital, he was advised to enter the palace, because his painting skills are superb, but he is withdrawn, so he is not very popular with other painters."

Shen Yue analyzed: "The tree is more beautiful than the forest, and the wind will destroy it."

Wanyan Xiyin nodded, "This is indeed the case. According to the records in the palace, Zhang Zeduan quietly left the palace shortly after he presented the Qingming Riverside Picture and disappeared without a trace."

Speaking of this, Wanyan Xiyin said slowly: "This is what we know about Zhang Zeduan."

Shen Yue laughed, "But Lord Wushi is looking for this person very seriously?"

What he didn't ask was—what's the inside story you're looking for?
Wanyan Xiyin was silent for a moment, "Sir, please take a look at the picture and comment on it?"

Shen Yue finally unfolded the painting scroll slowly, seemingly looking carefully from the beginning to the end, but quietly paying attention to the expressions of Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Zonghan.

Those two people were also checking Shen Yue's expression.

Naturally, Shen Yue didn't go to see the two of them, but was feeling and thinking at the same time - they took out this painting, so naturally they had seen it many times.

Wanyan Zonghan is rough but subtle, and he doesn't pay attention to the etiquette of the Central Plains, so it is difficult to become interested in the Central Plains culture. However, since Wanyan Xiyin suggested that the etiquette of the Central Plains should be used to replace the customary tradition of the Jin people, he naturally has a profound study of Chinese culture.

Wanyan Xiyin thinks there must be a shocking secret hidden in this picture?
What is the secret?
The Jinren paid great attention to the disappearance of Zhang Zeduan. Thinking about it from another angle, it is not Tu but Zhang Zeduan who really has the secret.

Does Zhang Zeduan know the real secret of his painting? !
Thinking of this, an image of a person suddenly flashed in Shen Yue's mind.

The man was tall and muscular, with tough features, and he looked like a tough guy...

Shen Yue knows that person!
