Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 475
Xue Lang didn't notice that he seemed to be eating and drinking casually while sitting on the sidelines, but actually kept his eyes on Jiang Lin who was in the field from time to time. He had already noticed that the boy's behavior was really weird. It's hard not to get noticed.

Jiang Lin frowned, and Yang Changshi, who was sitting by the side accompanying the guests, also noticed it, and said, "That person should be a friend of Zheng Shishilang."

"The Zheng family? Which Zheng family?"

Jiang Lin asked a question.Yang Changshi said: "The former Sui Changshe county son Zheng Fashi...has the general heard of it?"

Jiang Lin suffocated, his expression froze.Yang Changshi said: "Zheng Fashi was a well-known great painter in the former Sui Dynasty. He came from Wu, and his native place happened to be in Suzhou, where the general served. His son Zheng Dewen inherited his painting skills from his family, but his brushwork was slightly inferior. He passed it down to Shishilang. In the first generation, Zheng Shishilang's painting skills are not bad, whether he can become a master, we can only wait and see."

Jiang Lin nodded and asked, "Do you know the long history of the friend who came with him?"

Yang Changshi said: "If you talk about that person, you can recognize him. He once visited the envoy. I heard that he came from the Wang family in Taiyuan. There is an uncle in his room who works as the left servant in the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Chang'an. I think he must know Youyang. .”

Jiang Lin nodded and didn't say anything else, but this Yang Changshi was obviously a fan of the family, and he seemed to be opened to talk, and he started talking: "Speaking of which, this Wang Xiaolang has a long history of family education and a very good background. His grandmother came from The Lu clan of Fanyang, whose mother is from the Cui clan of Boling, has a demeanor, manner, speech and behavior, worthy of being a descendant of an aristocratic family, compared to ordinary Xiaolang, it is not in the same breath."

"Fan Yang Lu?"

Jiang Lin asked again.Yang Changshi said excitedly: "It is the main house of the Lu family of Fan Yang, and my Hongnong Yang family is considered noble, but it is still not enough compared to the five surnames and seven hopes. When Yang said about marriage, Jia Yan wanted to say five things. The surname is female, but it is a pity that Yang is not talented, and he failed to achieve his wish, which is a lifelong regret."

At that time, most people were proud to be able to marry women with five surnames. Under the influence of Xue Lang, Jiang Lin felt that it was even more honorable to be able to marry the woman he loved. evaluate.

Over there, Xue Lang looked around at the paintings on display, and was led by Pei Yunzhao to sit down on the seat, drank two glasses of water and wine with Pei Yunzhao, and was eating to fill his stomach.

Pei Yunzhao obviously likes painting very much. After Xue Lang ate something, he dragged him into a discussion. Some of the paintings on display were the works of Yuezhou painters, and some were from the collections of wealthy families. A momentary boutique.

Pei Yunzhao was very happy to talk, and he pulled Xue Lang to discuss on the spot, such as brushwork, painting techniques, lines, etc., and how they were compared with Xue Lang's painting methods.

Xue Lang was also very excited, because in this art exhibition, he not only saw the paintings of Zheng Fashi and Sun Shangzi, two painters who had only seen in books but had no works handed down from generation to generation, but also saw the so-called ancestors of Tang paintings. Ziqian's paintings, as a person who learns painting, these paintings of everyone are simply mesmerizing.However, the paintings of non-famous artists are not enough in the eyes of Xue Lang, who has read the famous paintings of thousands of years.

"I heard that this gentleman highly admires the paintings of Sun and Zheng, but he never mentions the rest of the paintings. Could it be that the rest of the paintings have no eye-catching paintings?"

Perhaps it was because the volume of the two of them was a little high, and the conversation was too involved, which actually attracted many others to listen. Obviously, some people had opinions on Xue Lang's words, and the tone was very unconvinced.

Xue Lang turned his head, he was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, Pei Yunzhao introduced: "Youyang, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Ji Xian Ji Nanshan, who is quite famous in the generation of Wu, the painting "Qian Tang" we just saw Misty Rain Picture" is his work."

Xue Lang has also seen this painting before, and he has a slight impression of it among the masterpieces of famous artists.Xue Lang smiled kindly and cupped his hands: "So it's Mr. Ji, be polite!"

Ji Xian nodded reservedly, returned the gift nonchalantly, and said: "Listen to this gentleman commenting on masterpieces of famous artists, what's your opinion on my masterpiece? I would like to hear the details!"

Xue Lang was slightly taken aback, this person is impatient of loneliness and insists on coming out to find a sense of existence?
However, after thinking about the names of the famous painters of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in my head, there is no such person named Ji Xian. Compared with the so-called "Qiantang Misty Rain Picture" I just saw, it pales in comparison to everyone else. .

Xue Lang said: "If you talk about the misty rain of Qiantang Lake, Mr. Zhanzi's painting is based on the green mountains and green waters of Zhanzi Qianzhan. Everyone's painting method shows the beauty of grace and restraint, but the beauty of obscurity is absent, and the two cannot be taken into account, and one beauty is lost, which is unavoidable to be regretted."

Xue Lang felt that his words were very tactful, but this Mr. Ji obviously disagreed, with a serious expression on his face, he asked: "According to what you mean, you are actually quite critical of the Zhan School's painting method?"

Xue Lang was taken aback, thinking that he hadn't made it clear, and based on the principle that academic discussions should not be sloppy, he explained: "Exhibiting everyone's painting methods, creating a precedent that has never been done before, forming a school of its own, and being everyone. Xue is not talented. , How can I put my beak to everyone. To show everyone's painting method, use the brush to be thin and strong. In my view of Mr.'s painting, the place where the brush is used is only thin, and the softness is blindly shown, and there is no foundation to show everyone's strength. This kind of brushwork, If you draw a picture of misty rain, you will lose the charm, there will be no momentum of misty rain in mountains and rivers, and you will lack the appearance of everyone."

Xue Lang thought he was seeking truth from facts, but Mr. Ji was suspicious of becoming angry: "Zhuzi can't be tricked!"

After finishing speaking, he walked away.

Xue Lang was taken aback, and turned to Jiang Lin, who was obviously higher in EQ than him: "A Lin, am I being too blunt? I'm obviously just telling the truth."

Pei Yunzhao's expression was very exciting. Jiang Lin coughed, clenched his hand into a fist to cover his mouth, forced himself to suppress his smile, and pretended to be serious: "There is nothing wrong with what the elder brother said. It is because that person is narrow-minded, so don't worry about it."

Xue Lang couldn't see anything now, so he smiled wryly and said, "I just wanted to have a serious academic discussion, and I didn't mean to belittle him."

Jiang Lin nodded with a smile: "What the elder brother said is very true."

Xue Lang was speechless, and couldn't help stretching out his foot to kick him quietly, but Jiang Lin didn't mind, and smiled at him very brightly.

"Sir, may I ask what techniques should be used to show the hazy beauty of Qiantang Lake? Student Zheng Xiangru asks for advice."

A young man stood up, his eyes were eager, and he saluted Xue Lang thoughtfully and sincerely, asking for advice.Xue Lang really likes to draw, and also likes to discuss painting techniques with others. He said without hesitation: "If you want to express the beauty of haze, there is nothing better than the smudging method. I have seen people draw pictures of mountains, rivers and mountains, smudges and lines Combining outlines and outlines, the atmosphere is myriad, not to mention the grandeur, but the artistic conception is also extremely beautiful."

The young Xiao Lang's eyes became more eager, and he bowed and asked: "Can you please show me something with a splash of ink, sir?"

Xue Lang saw that he was really asking for advice, and didn't intend to make things difficult for him, so he couldn't help but feel pained silently, and said with a wry smile: "Your request is hard for me. With my current painting skills, painting landscapes is like a trick, and I don't know what I can do. However, doing it It’s an academic discussion, if you show the painting method, you can’t paint landscapes, I’m only good at painting small objects, so it should be enough to show the painting method!”

"Come on, prepare your pen and ink!"

When Pei Yunzhao heard that Xue Lang was going to paint, he was too busy, so he hurriedly ordered people to prepare.

Xue Lang held the paintbrush, closed his eyes for a while, and then began to splash ink——

The painting is a scene of soybean milk and its puppies basking in the sun!

After Soy Milk gave birth, the pups were still stumbling when they opened their eyes. In the early morning, Xue Lang moved the kennel to the sun to bask in the sun.

Soymilk was lying on the side, and the puppies were either crawling and rolling in the kennel, or biting and playing with each other, or trying hard to climb out of the kennel, trying to escape from prison.

In Xue Lang's painting, the light and dark light are shown by the thick and light smudged painting method of ink. Only the eyebrows and eyes are outlined with lines.

The young Xiao Lang's eyes were shining brightly, and he wished he could jump on it. If he hadn't been so worried that the ink was still wet, he might have picked it up and looked at it non-stop!
Xue Lang looked at it by himself, and felt satisfied with the painting. He turned his head to Jiang Lin and said, "A Lin, I haven't mastered my handwriting yet, so I can't be seen by others. Come here and help me with a question."

Jiang Lin nodded, picked up a pen, and wrote the word "Warmth" according to Xue Lang's intention, and wrote down his name.Pei Yunzhao also watched with burning eyes, and said repeatedly: "Please use your seal, Youyang."

Xue Lang nodded, took out his seal, stamped one on it, not forgetting to ask Jiang Lin to stamp the seal under his name as well.As soon as it was finished, Pei Yunzhao immediately coughed and said loudly, "Thank you Youyang for giving me the painting!"

How did this become a gift for him? !
Xue Lang was stunned, and laughed, but, seeing what Pei Yunzhao meant, he was going to decide on this painting, so he could only cup his hands and say, "Brother Jing Xi, as long as you don't dislike it!"
