The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 432 Two Talented Women (1)
Luo Xiaorong didn't argue with Chen Qiaojiang, and wanted to go to the other side of his sister, but seeing Hao sitting there, he pouted slightly.

Qingshu saw him, hugged him, and kissed his little cheek, "Quickly open the box, and let my sister see what's inside?"

Luo Xiaorong grinned, and opened the long box, and there was a scroll lying inside.

Qing Shu, "This is?"

Luo Xiaorong said, "This is "Morning Dew Peony" in the famous painting "Peony Book" by the Peony Fairy. My grandfather once said that "Morning Dew Peony" and the masterpiece "Picturesques of Rivers and Mountains" written by the fairy are two masterpieces and are rare. Treasure."

Absolutely, it should refer to the meaning of peerless masterpieces.Then this painting is too precious, Qingshu dare not accept it, "It's too precious, my sister dare not take it." Although she doesn't know calligraphy and painting and other things, the famous antique calligraphy and painting can sell for sky-high prices It is not unheard of in modern times.

Luo Xiaorong was only responsible for delivering, but he didn't care about taking it back, "Sister, keep this well. Father said, this is the dowry my grandfather gave to my sister."

Qing Shu was dumbfounded, "What? Dowry?"

Luo Xiaorong nodded seriously, then took out a letter from under the scroll and handed it to Qingshu, "Sister, this is a letter from my grandfather to my sister."

Stimulated by the word dowry, Qing Shu opened the letter dizzily.Luo Shangshu said, Qingshu didn't have a reliable elder around her, so it would be difficult when Qingshu got married.Furthermore, Qingshu is a little girl, so she prepares her own dowry, so there are many things she can't think of.Therefore, Luo Shangshu said that, as Qingshu's grandfather, he had to pay attention to this matter early on.So, I first picked out such a famous painting and said it was one of the dowry my grandfather gave to my granddaughter.Not wanting to make her grandfather angry, or hurt her grandfather's heart, Qingshu, the granddaughter, must keep the dowry and pawn it at the bottom of the box.

Not to mention anything else, it is the kindness of others that can move you.At this time, Qingshu also understood that Luo Jiumao didn't give her such a valuable thing, but asked Luo Xiaorong to give it to her, because she was afraid that she would refuse to accept it.The Chen House probably meant the same thing. Chen Qiaojiang asked Chen Qiaojiang to give her the expensive stove, instead of being given by the elders of the Chen House.

With complicated emotions, Qing Shu carefully took out the painting scroll and unfolded it to read on the spot.Although she was forced to study traditional Chinese painting for a year in modern times, the superficial things she learned were not enough to see!Even so, from her layman's point of view, this "Morning Dew Peony" is really not bad.The graceful and luxurious peony, the dewdrops hanging on the petals and buds of the peony, seem to be alive, and seem to roll down in a blink of an eye.This kind of dynamic artistic conception, this kind of living painting, is hailed as a peerless work, and it definitely deserves its name. "The painter called Peony Fairy, so it must be a woman." She guessed so involuntarily.

Luo Xiaorong shook his head, expressing that he did not know.

Qingyang thought for a while, "Sister, I'll ask Mr. Lu." Luo Xiaorong and Chen Qiaojiang agreed, and finally the four of them ran to find Mr. Lu together.

Qing Shu shook her head and laughed, carefully put away the scroll, put it back in the box and wrapped it up, not knowing where to put it.After hesitating for three, she temporarily locked the famous painting into the silver box.As soon as she pulled out the key and put it away, Qingyang came back again and again, saying that Mr. Lu wanted to see the painting and asked her to take it in person.

So she took the painting and carried it to Mr. Lu's residence in person.

Mrs. Lu was making juanhua in the embroidery room, and Maizi was playing outside. In the room, Mr. Lu sat upright, while Chen Qiaojiang and the others sat upright.

Qing Shu presented the painting.

Mr. Lu took the painting with both hands excitedly, and asked Qingyang and Qingshu to sit down.There was nostalgia in his expression, mixed with melancholy, and some extremely deep emotions that could not be explained clearly.

Qingshu asked hesitantly, "Sir, do you know the painter Peony Fairy?"

Mr. Lu stabilized his emotions and replied, "There are only three connections."

The fate of three sides means that Mr. Lu met the Peony Fairy.Qing Shu was surprised, "Sir, you mean this painting is not that old, is the Peony Fairy still alive?"

Mr. Lu nodded, put the scroll on the table, and slowly unfolded it.Then, he stroked his beard and looked at the painting carefully, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.After a while, looking at the inscription on the painting, he said, "This is the authentic "Morning Dew Peony", not a fake. Luo Shangshu is willing to take it out as a dowry for Shu girl, haha..."

Why mention the dowry again!Qing Shu hurriedly interrupted to save Mr. Lu from getting off topic, "Sir, since the painter is called Peony Fairy, she must be a woman, right?"

Only then did Mr. Lu stop laughing, and said seriously, "Yes, a fairy must be a woman. Peony Fairy is a nickname given to her by literati, not by the painter herself. The nickname she took is Fanchen Yiye Zhou, look here, look at the seal."

Qing Shu stepped forward, followed what Mr. Lu pointed out, and carefully identified for a moment, the seal on the signature place was indeed "A Boat with a Leaf in the World".

Mr. Lu added, "It is said that she learned painting at the age of six, and showed extraordinary talent for painting at the age of ten. At the age of 12, she became famous in the capital with a pair of "rich and noble peonies". At that time, sir was on a study tour with your master. When I came back and heard about this, I asked around how I could get a glimpse of the famous "Rich Peony". Unfortunately, not only did Fanchen leave the capital in a boat, but her "Rich Peony" had also been sold. Whose hand. After that, Mortal Chen and Yiye Zhou never showed up again."

"There is a rumor among literati that Fanchen Yiyezhou is the concubine daughter abandoned by the dignitaries in Beijing. Her name is Mulan, and her surname is unknown. Some people say that Miss Mulan left Beijing because of her work "The Peony of Wealth". A painting made her famous as a talented woman in Da'an, attracted the attention of countless dignitaries, and reminded the dignitaries who abandoned her of having such a daughter, and wanted to take her back to the mansion. Miss Mulan didn't want to go back, so she said quietly The adoptive mother and younger brother who depended on each other fled the capital."

"It has been silent for four years. When people thought that they would never see the masterpiece of a boat with a leaf in the world, a picture of "Peony Tui Rui" appeared in the world. Its painting style and the seal of "a boat in the world with a leaf" caused a sensation. At that time, Mr. I am in the capital, and I am honored to follow your ancestor to appreciate this painting. Your ancestor was once invited to taste "Rich Peony". Moreover, the brushwork and artistic conception of this painting are even better than that of "Rich Peonies". In this way, Da'an has two talented women who are both called."

Qing Shu was engrossed in listening, and couldn't help asking, "The two talented women who are called together?"

Mr. Lu slowly rolled up the painting, and replied, "The eldest princess and Fan Chen are two talented women in Da'an. The eldest princess is good at poetry, and Fan Chen and Yi Zhou are good at calligraphy and painting. They become close friends and are called sisters. So , Fanchen Yiye Zhou’s boudoir name Mulan was confirmed, and besides, her real surname is Wu, and she is..."

Qing Shu felt that Mr. Lu's speech was really not straightforward, why did he stop at a key point, "What is it?"
