Wu Keming?

The great painter who became famous in middle age and painted the heavenly cloud stone wall and made it famous all over the world?

After becoming famous, he was extremely sought after, almost every painting he produced was worth a thousand dollars, and some people were very dissatisfied to find the works of his youth, restore them, frame them, and circulate them.

Such a person actually appeared here, feeling that he had lived here for a long time, hungry to repair this stone wall dwelling?

Of course, with his fame and financial resources, some things would have been better handled......

The people mentioned on the road were now seen, and Jiang Wangfeng and they were also surprised.

"Are you a painter?" Jiang Wangfeng asked directly.

"Well, you know my name. Wu Keming touched his chin, his expression slightly smug.

"I heard that you're so old, you look pretty young. Jiang Wangfeng told the truth.

This is also what Xu Wen wants to say.

Wu Keming became famous in middle age, and his reputation has been circulating in the capital for a while, and Xu Wen thought he was at least fifty or sixty years old.

But now it seems that there are a lot of wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, but he is handsome and full of energy, compared to people in this era, he is not very old.

"Hahahaha!" Wu Keming laughed, "Little brother, you are quite honest." ”

He was even happier, waved his hand, and said in a loud voice, "Come, I'll show you around here." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked away, ignoring the opinions that Xu asked.

Fortunately, these young people did come for this, and they really followed behind honestly.

"The stone is not old, if you want to say it, I can't tell what year or month this stone residence was built, I can only say that it has been a long time. Wu Keming looked around, his smile gradually faded, his expression became solemn and serious, and his thoughts seemed to have drifted away, in line with the long time.

"As you can see, this stone dwelling was built directly on the mountain wall. As far as I can tell, there was originally a narrow slit on this mountainside, and there was also this mountain road, and the person who built it looked at this change and built it according to the situation. ”

Wu Keming said as he pointed out some places for them to see.

The stone wall dwelling is built in the crack of the mountain, but nature is free, and it is impossible to get stuck so tightly. Therefore, there must be some rugged, sharp and torn places in the cracks of the stone wall dwelling as proof.

However, it can be seen that the builders of the stone wall house were calm and careful, and some treatment was carried out on these places, and some carvings or decorations were made, but if you look closely, you can still see some traces.

"In other words, the person who built it saw a stone crack and a mountain road here, and then built such a big stone wall dwelling on a whim?" Jiang Wangfeng asked with his mouth open.

"There is no inscription or other textual introduction found here, so we can only make such a judgment for the time being. Wu Keming looked casual, but at this time he said very cautiously.

"Ah...... It's so funny!" Jiang Wangfeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, slapped his palm, and praised, "This person is so funny, it's a pity that I was born so late for so many years and couldn't see him." ”

"Otherwise?" Wu Keming looked at him.

"Of course, I'm going to build this place with him, give him a start!" Jiang Wangfeng said with a grin.

"Secretly leave a name in the corner?" Wu Keming asked.

"No, no, no. Jiang Wangfeng waved his hand again and again, extremely yearning, "This stone wall residence is the best name!"

Wu Keming was stunned, and after a while, he laughed out loud, laughing so heartily that tears were about to seep out of the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes.

"You're right!" he exclaimed, "it's my narrow-mindedness. What kind of name do you want to leave behind, this stone wall house is the best name!"

He looked at Jiang Wangfeng with admiration and asked, "I like you very much, do you want to worship me as a teacher and learn painting from me?"

Xu Wen raised his eyebrows, remembering what his master Lian Tianqing casually mentioned at that time.

Wu Keming is a very eccentric person, without a father or mother, without a wife and children. After becoming famous, many people came to the door with a shy face, wanting to worship him as a teacher or recognize him as a godfather, but Wu Keming has always refused mercilessly, not caring that his skills and family wealth may be lost.

I didn't expect to be here today, and I took the initiative to accept Jiang Wangfeng as an apprentice, it seems that his words really voted for him.

"No, no, my whole family is a carpenter to build a house, and I think the carpenter is very good, I like it very much, and I don't want to change the door. But......" he said twice, smiling a little slyly, "if you're willing to teach me how to draw, I'd love to learn too." ”

"Slippery head. Wu Keming smiled, and did not continue to dwell on this matter, but asked, "Then when I come to test you, why do you have to be a carpenter to build a house? Isn't it good to be a stonemason?"

"Ugh. Jiang Wangfeng was speechless in an instant.

His family is a first-class workshop, mainly carpentry. This is the concept he has accepted since he was a child, and as for why, he has never thought about it.

"I didn't think about it, I thought about it. "Along the way, they are constantly learning, they are asked all kinds of questions, they are forced to think, and everyone has become accustomed to it. At this time, Jiang Wangfeng did not ask a question directly, but thought about it first.

Wu Keming's footsteps were a little surprised, and he obviously appreciated him more and more.

After a while, Fang Jueming asked first: "I have thought of a point, can I answer first?"

Wu Keming looked at Jiang Wangfeng. Jiang Wangfeng seemed to take this for granted, and he didn't think it was strange at all, just staring at Fang Jueming with expectant eyes.

It feels like this is normal, and as long as the husband agrees, the student who thinks of it first should answer first.

No, not only him, but the expressions of other young people are also roughly similar, this feeling of peace and studiousness really makes Wu Keming secretly feel a little confused.

"Well, you say. He didn't move at all, just nodded.

"First of all, it must be because wood is light and stone, and wood is easier to transport and dispose of. In this regard, it is much more difficult to use stones. Fang Jueming said.

This was the easiest point to think of, and the others next to him nodded in agreement.

"The second point is not something that I thought of myself, but what Master told me. Wood is yang, stone is yin, wood dwells between heaven and earth, communicating people. The stone is connected to the earth, communicating yin and yang. So timber is built for human settlements, earth and stone are built for tombs, and this is the case for the most part. Fang Jueming said again.

"Insightful!" Wu Keming nodded in praise and asked, "Respect the teacher is ......?"

"A temple craftsman in the countryside, not famous. Fang Jueming shook his head.

A temple craftsman is a master who specializes in repairing temples, and he is considered a professional craftsman. It's no surprise that he would take these things very seriously.

But speaking of which, Fang Jueming seemed to be a monk before, and he was still a monk for a short time, so he didn't know why.

"The countryside hides the dragon and the crouching tiger, and your master's skills must be excellent. Wu Keming praised it and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"I also remembered one, I don't know if it can be counted. I heard that many people, especially officials and scholars, are very particular about building houses, which must be wooden, stable, and not too luxurious. They all want this, and everyone else will follow suit. Jiang Wangfeng came up with another one.

Indeed, the saint thinks and cultivates and advocates simplicity, and the disciples of the saint must of course follow it. This is also related to the first point that the little brother just said. Stone is not easy to obtain, which shows that it is hard to work and hurt money. Wu Keming said with a smile.

Then, Jiang Wangfeng and the others continued to say word by word, and it was visible to the naked eye that they were thinking more and more about themselves.

Wu Keming looked at them, his smile became stronger and stronger, and finally he shook his finger at them and said, "There is another key point, I guess none of you can think of it." ”

No one could have thought of it?

It's a little unconvincing to say it so absolutely, but what they want to say has indeed been said just now.

For a while, all eyes were focused on Xu Wen.

He had only been listening, not yet speaking.

This action is so neat that Wu Keming can't help but look at it.
