The Demon Soul is Coming

() (asking for tickets, asking for various tickets, asking for support!)

Liu Sang boarded the Tianmei Pavilion, which is located at the top of the entire attic. They stood on a wooden platform, and someone used manpower and mechanisms to bring the wooden platform up, just like an elevator.

The top is actually transparent, and one can see the stars and the moon rising from the sky at a glance, and faintly, there is even the fragrance of birds and flowers. I don't know how to make it.

Through the glass on the side of the pavilion, you can overlook nearly half of the Winged City, and you can also see the Butterfly River. No wonder people like Ximen Wei Xu and Chu Jiaojiao want such a good location. . .

Several people sat on the ground, and Qingying Qiu Yuxiang sat opposite Liu Sang, and asked him for advice on painting. Liu Sang was originally the director of this area, since he had shown his skills just now, if he suddenly pretended that he didn't know much, it would be even worse. It was suspicious, and Lu Xiong had some talents in Jiuyue City. Since he is a nerd, it is not a big deal if he is more talented in painting.

At the same time, he tried his best to make himself appear ignorant in other aspects. Except for painting and poetry, whenever other aspects were involved, he would act like he was hesitant and didn't know how to answer.

<b图》送给她？

Ask tentatively.

Qingying Qiu Yuxiang sighed: "When Qingying was in Yangzhou, I accidentally saw a painting by Liu Sang and Liu Gongzi. Whether it was the concept or the color, it was unique and amazing. I went to Ningyun City, I want to ask him about painting, but I don't think Mr. Liu is not here." . .

Xia Yingchen said: "My humble husband went to Yangzhou and hasn't returned home yet, sister Qingying forgive me."

Qingying Qiu Yuxiang bowed slightly, but thought in her heart: "The last time in the seven nights of Yunji, a young man gave me a poem, which fully pointed out the sorrow in my piano. The meaning of loneliness, I learned afterwards, That young man is the son-in-law of Ningyun City. It's a pity that I didn't see him." <All the fragrance and dust fell, Xiaolou sighed to the moon sky.Tao Liguang is infinitely good. Pointing out that although she felt sorry for herself, she didn't know why she was worried. She only felt that Ningyun's son-in-law must be her bosom friend, but it was a pity that she couldn't see her.

Xia Yingchen and Chu Leying are both seasoned people, and they can see Qingying Qiuyu's expression at a glance. Xia Yingchen drinks tea slowly, and casually glances at her husband who is diagonally opposite... How did you tease her? ?

Liu Sang also remembered.On the last night of Yunji Seven Nights, I did give a poem to Qingying Qiu Yuxiang. At that time, Qingying Qiu Yuxiang and Sister Yue were playing the piano upstairs.He guessed ten lantern riddles under Qingying Qiu Yuxiang one after another, and after presenting the poem, he took Miss Cui'er for a stroll.

But at that time, his main purpose was to tease Sister Yue, and presenting poems to Concubine Qingying was actually just incidental...

Qingying Qiu Yuxiang regained her composure, and looked at Liu Sang apologetically, "Although I couldn't see Ningyun's son-in-law, I met Mr. Lu here, and Mr. Lu's teasing just now made Qingying feel a little bit embarrassed. If you pull out the mist to see the moon, Qingying actually knows that there are incongruities in her "Fish Playing with Lotus Picture", but she can't figure out where the mistake is. After being reminded by the young master, she realizes that she is really pursuing the "unity of form and meaning" too much , Qingying does not have the brushwork of Mr. Liu Sang, but wants to pursue his painting realm, and really has no self-knowledge."

Liu Sang said: "The concubine is too modest. From my point of view, the concubine's brushwork is perfect, but it's just a little deliberate. 'The unity of shape and meaning' or 'the shape is inexhaustible, and the spirit is taken from it' are just in the way of painting. In my opinion, there is no difference between the aesthetic style and the traditional style.”

He also said: "The aesthetic style of painting first determines the artistic conception of the whole painting, and then strives to perfectly display the artistic conception with color brushes and inks. It can make the whole painting more gorgeous, complete, and form and meaning are consistent. But on the other hand, the pattern But it will inevitably be bound. The traditional style of painting uses a rough technique that seems thick and thin to express a more macro artistic conception. Splashing ink and freehand brushwork, leaving blank small poems, because the aesthetic style of painting has just begun to become popular, it is extremely novel , and because it pursues the beauty of the picture, it is very easy to be accepted by young people, so it spreads all of a sudden, but after a long time, when everyone's interest decreases, they will also find that the traditional style of painting has many merits. In fact, tradition is good, aesthetic That’s right, the most important thing is that it suits me, as long as the concubine sticks to her way of painting, she will surely be famous in the history of painting.”

His "beautiful painting style" is essentially the "Zen painting" popular in Chinese history for hundreds of years in his previous life, combined with Western oil painting techniques. When "Zen Painting" first came out, it was also very popular. It was considered to have created a new era of Chinese painting after the Tang and Song Dynasties, but it did not completely replace the traditional painting style in the end.

In this history, because of the absence of Buddhism, the "Zen painting" that flourished in the late Tang Dynasty naturally did not appear because of Buddhism, but the traditional painting style has developed to the stage of "seeking change", so his Once the aesthetic style of painting comes out, Qingying thinks the same way when it is easy to set off waves in the painting world.Before that, Qingying had also seen several paintings by Mr. Liu Sang. Although they were all excellent, but because they knew that they were only painted in a different style, although they admired them, they did not yearn for them. Mr. Sang talked about painting, but after seeing the picture of the kitten stepping on the spring, he suddenly felt a sense of shock. Compared with Mr. Liu Sang, the green shadow is really different. It can be said that it is not the same as before. Compared with the few paintings I have written, the picture of the kitten stepping on the spring has really broken through to a new realm. When I look at it, I feel like I am reading the masterpiece left by the Taoist sage Zhuangzi. Can't help yearning and imitating. "<The picture looks childish, but I don't know why, just looking at it makes people feel touched, but I don't know how he did it?" <The picture has avoided all appearances and reached the origin of everything, Freehand without splashing ink, it feels like "everything is a horse" as Zhuangzi said. Although there is a saying in the painting that "painting starts from the heart and obstacles come from far away", it is like this painting.Those who can truly be free from obstacles in their hearts, draw pictures with their hearts, and draw pictures with their hearts.It has never been seen since ancient times, and it is already a class higher than Mr. Liu Sang's previous paintings. "<Picture". It is true that "the heart is free from obstacles", that is, when he painted this picture, he realized that "the sky and the earth are one finger."The brand-new artistic conception of "everything is one horse" and apply it to martial arts.

As for Qingying Qiu Yuxiang, she can directly see the scene behind the painting from a painting, and her thoughtfulness is so delicate that it is impressive, and she is worthy of the name of the most talented woman in Zhongyanzhou.

He sighed: "In fact, everyone has obstacles in their hearts. I think even Liu Sang is no exception, but 'obstacles' are not a part of the heart? The most important thing is to fully accept your own heart, Let your heart look at everything in the world and yourself with the most detached vision. The world is a game of chess. We are a chess piece, but although we are chess pieces, we have the most free heart, as long as we let go of our hearts, We can also be people who watch chess. The concubine's "Fish Playing with Lotus Flower" draws the heart, the fish and the lotus are originally one, but the joy of the fish becomes a barrier in the eyes of the lotus, and the lotus looks at the fish with cold eyes. But I don’t know that fish play in water, but I don’t know how much more detached than lotus. Even if you can’t touch a part of your heart, how can you be detached from things? So...cough!”

Suddenly, the four girls all stared at him with wide eyes.

Xia Yingchen thought for a while.

Qingying Qiu Yuxiang murmured: "The heart barrier is also a part of the heart. Since you can't give it up, it's better to accept it, completely detached from things, detached from me..." Suddenly shocked, as if there was a brand new The door was opened normally.

Wen Lu smiled wryly, "Is this kind of thing really possible?"

Liu Sang thought, if it can be done, the legendary "Buddha" can do it... Don't look at me like this, okay?I just put it beautifully.

I am not a Buddha.

Qingying Qiu Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Liu Sang: "Just by hearing what you said, you can know that your painting skills must be superb. If you don't have extraordinary vision and painting skills, it is really hard to say that you are so extraordinary. The painting environment. I don’t know if you have paintings, let Qingying block it quickly?”

Liu Sang thought: "This is a bit difficult. Although you can spend some time to draw a picture, if the picture is not good enough, she will think that I am talking big. If I draw seriously, with this girl's care and sensitivity, And there is a great chance to realize that it is actually drawn by the same person as the 'Little Cat Stepping on the Spring', and I want to keep a low profile?"

Hastily sighed: "I used to like painting very much before, but since I saw Ningyun and horse's painting in Jiuyue City last time, I feel ashamed of myself and know that even if I paint for a lifetime, I will never be able to reach his height. Since then, I have given up my pen and don’t want to draw anymore. Even what I said just now, I suddenly felt something in my heart after seeing the picture of a kitten stepping on the spring. Compared with me, Ningyun Fufuma is a genius, with excellent painting skills People, looking at his paintings, it feels like a little witch standing in front of a big witch..."

With a bit of humility, he talked about Ningyun Fuma as high as a mountain, and his admiration for him was like a torrent of rivers, endless, with a big mountain in front of him, he was really disheartened and dared not compare.

Wen Lu thought in her heart: "This person has clearly seen people before, but with his knowledge and Concubine Qingying's talent, he also looks up to Sister Yingchen's husband so much, how tall is Liu Sang?"

Chu Leying also thought: "If I have time in the future, I might as well pay that Liu Sang a visit."

Xia Yingchen, on the other hand, was drinking tea slowly, and quietly glanced at "Lu Xiong", I said Husband... your skin is so thick that it makes people admire you.

How could anyone be so self-praising?

The modest Liu Sang finally finished boasting the other self, and the four girls also calmed down, falling into admiration for his modest and excellent style, and infinite yearning and admiration for the other him.

Just at this moment, someone outside knocked lightly on the door a few times.

Chu Leying said, "What's the matter?"

Boss Jin stepped in, cupped his hands and laughed: "Master Wei Xu from Ximen's family heard that Missy and Young Lady are here, and knew that both Missy and Young Lady Wen rarely come to Meiyuan, so I came here to pay a visit, and I would like to invite Missy Taste the Linsui Kuai Hong Piao tea brought by the merchants of Kongsang Kingdom in Dongyongzhou."

The Ximen family is also a powerful family, its prestige and status in Nanyuan is second only to the Chu family, Chu Leying naturally did not want to give him face, so she said: "Please."

Boss Jin bowed and went.

Liu Sang thought, I should not stay here for too long.

Then he bid farewell to the four daughters.

Qingying Qiu Yuxiang said disappointedly: "I wanted to talk with you for a while, but I don't know where you live. Qingying will come to visit tomorrow."

Liu Sang thought: "This is still unnecessary." But since the beauty asked.If he refused, it would be too high-profile, so he said it loudly.Hand over and leave.

Before going out of the gate, I heard the lady's voice: "I have drunk too much tea in Yingchen, let's go around first, and sit down first."

Although Liu Sang didn't look back.But he already knew that the lady was looking for an opportunity to talk to him, so she pretended not to hear him and walked forward.As soon as he left the gate, he saw Ximen Wei Xu walking towards this side with high spirits holding a jade vase containing tea.

Ximen Wei Xu is the future head of the Ximen family, and he is acquainted with Chu Leying. The reason why he came to offer tea is because he knows that Princess Ningyun, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Hezhou, is with the famous concubine Qingying in Yanzhou. here.I want to come and get closer.Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived here, he saw a young man walking out of Tianmei Pavilion, he was taken aback for a while, the two bumped into each other, Ximen Wei Xu said in astonishment: "This is..."

Hello.I met you next time, okay?

But the young master, naturally he doesn't care about such a small person as him.

Liu Sang smiled and said: "I am the fiancé-in-law of the daughter of the second son who was separated from the fourth family of Mr. Nan of the Chu family." I really kept a low profile.

Ximen Wei Xu: "Huh? Chu Jianan's first, second... oh."

Liu Sang stepped aside: "Master Wei Xu, please."

Ximen Wei Xu said: "Please, please." Who is this person?

Liu Sang left alone.

Ximen Wei Xu entered the pavilion, but saw Princess Ningyun approaching, hurriedly stepped aside, and said with a smile: "Ximen Wei Xu, I have seen the princess."

Xia Yingchen said calmly: "Oh." Just like that, he went out.

Ximen Wei Xu: "..." This woman was even colder than the rumors said.

***

Tianmei Pavilion is located at the highest point of Meiyuan. There are both man-made steps for people to go up and down, as well as stairs for people to walk on.

Liu Sang went down the stairs.

With a breeze behind him, he immediately knew that the lady had come to him.

It's just that there are many people in Meiyuan, if people see the two of them walking together alone, it will inevitably cause all kinds of gossip.

Xia Yingchen suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed him, and fled to the other side. Along the way, many maids passed by, and came to a place where sandalwood was lingering, and thin tents were whirling, although sandalwood used to drive away odors was everywhere Shen, but Liu Sang easily knew... This is the women's toilet?

Lady, is it really okay to drag me to this kind of place?

Although it is a fragrant toilet, it is an elegant and high-class place. Even this kind of place is very elegant. In addition, the one who can come here is the daughter of a thousand gold, everyone is a lady, and each room is cleverly separated It turns out, to some extent, this is indeed the safest place.

Xia Yingchen pulled him into the innermost room and quickly closed the door.

In this kind of place, looking at my wife, I feel extremely weird.

Xia Yingchen just brushed her hair lightly, still so cool and noble.

She really deserves to be my wife.

Looking at the cold and charming lady in the deep clothes and curly lapels, Liu Sang said in a low voice: "My lady, why did you come to Youyi City?"

Xia Yingchen said slowly: "I have seen Cui'er, and I learned from her that you have arrived in Youyi City. It just so happened that the Chu Clan specially invited me to the birthday banquet of Mrs. Ximen, the imperial court of Chu, so I used this as an excuse. , rushed over."

Liu Sang was stunned and said, "How could the Chu Clan invite the lady, and even ask their eldest lady and young nainai to accompany you?"

Xia Yingchen stared at him: "Did you know that the imperial court has already decreed to change Xudong Road to Xudongjun, and to promote father to the second-class Chengtian Jingnanhou, Xudongjunhou?"

Liu Sang murmured: "I heard that my wife has integrated the cities of Xudong and built a new Xudong army. The court can no longer control Xudong. It is a fait accompli that my father-in-law is in command of Xudong. Anyway, he is also a member of the royal family. Although the court's reaction A little too fast, but it's just a smooth ride."

Xia Yingchen sighed: "But the person who first submitted the proposal was not someone from the imperial court, but Lord Zhiyu."

Liu Sang was stunned: "How could it be him?" He never thought that it would be Duke Yu who wrote a letter to invite his father-in-law.

Xia Yingchen said: "Mr. Zhiyu wrote a letter, saying that my father has contributed to the country by destroying the thieves in Lianzhuzhai and clearing Xudong's rebellious party. He persuaded the king to make his father the first-class founder of the country, and the Ao family obstructed it. The court compromised. It was given to the second-class Chengtian Jingnanhou."

Liu Sang thought quickly in his heart, and was suddenly overjoyed: "Gong Yu and the Chu family have fallen out."

Xia Yingchen said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to react so quickly. When the news came, I, General Huang, General Zhao, etc. didn't know what Zhiyugong's intentions were. After deliberating for a long time, we came to this conclusion."

Liu Sang said in a low voice: "Unless the Chu Clan has no ambitions, falling out with the Yue family is inevitable. Especially in the matter of Lianzhu Village, it was clearly that Zhiyu Gong secretly supported Lianzhu Village, but in the end it was Chu who was disgraced. Well, the Chu Clan must also be very resentful. Zhiyugong is afraid that he has ambitions for Nanyuan, and the Chu Clan is unwilling to shrink back. Naturally, Zhiyugong knows that the only direction for Xu Dong to develop is Nanyuan. He wrote a letter The imperial court wants to confer the title of father-in-law as a first-class marquis, and the first-class founding assistant is at the level of Dingbeihou, so the target is naturally the Chu family."
