Chapter 31: The Prince of Hanmo
Unconsciously, An Ran had been in Shishan Academy for a few months. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the past few months, An Ran has had a lot of experience in this Shishan Academy, first seeing the academy life of ancient scholars, and making great progress in learning, and at the same time making many like-minded friends, but also getting acquainted with the fifth prince Chu Shenghao.
The fifth prince, Chu Shenghao, looks like an immortal, has a dashing and sparse personality, is unbridled, chic, and talented, indifferent to fame and fortune, and is very loved by the saints.
Speaking of An Ran's acquaintance with the fifth prince Chu Shenghao, it was because of painting.
Not to mention that Anran entered Shishan Academy to study, which was a great achievement in calligraphy and painting, and he was a little famous in this regard, just because calligraphy and painting works rarely flowed out, and some people didn't know it. After entering the academy, he was praised by many great Confucians who were good at the way of danqing in the academy, and bluntly said that "Shen Xizhao should be known as a wonderful Danqing". 'Xizhao' is the word taken by An Ran's teacher Huai'an Jushi for him, taking the meaning of "bright and prosperous". As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the academy.
You must know that the students who can enter Shishan Academy are all people with real talents and real learning, all of them are people with outstanding knowledge, well-read, outstanding in various fields, and there are many geniuses. And the teachers who can teach in the academy are famous Confucian scholars all over the world. An Ran received this praise as soon as he entered the academy, which aroused the curiosity of many people, and even more, some students who were good at Danqing were not convinced and asked him to learn from him.
In a competition, An Ran first won with a painting of "Peach Blossom Mountain Bird", only to see two peach blossoms in the painting, and the peach blossoms on the branches are either in full bloom or budding to be released. The petals are painted with a fine brush and then blended in multiple layers, the color is dark or light, densely realistic, and rich in layered changes. On the branch there is a mountain bird, the feathers of the bird are thin and soft, and the tail feathers are covered with red. The colors of the picture are elegant, and the flowers are lightly dyed, without any sense of artificiality. This is exactly what Enron is best at. After that, he rolled up his sleeves and made another painting.
I saw that An Ran did not use a brush, but dipped his fingers in ink, with his thumb as a thick brush, to draw the main branch of the plum blossom, the index finger and the middle finger for the middle brush on the paper, the old branch of the plum tree stretched out to the four directions, round and strong, pleasing to the eye, it is the iron bone of the plum branch. The ring finger and little finger are used as fine brushes, and the young branches are raised upward, unrestrained, and various branches are staggered. From time to time, it is supplemented by the palm of the hand, the back of the hand. Then adjust cinnabar, five points into plum blossoms, heavy ink to outline the heart, burnt ink to add flower branches, so the ice branches are tender and green, the sparse shadow is elegant, the flower color is beautiful, the plum blossoms stand on the branches, there is no meaning of kitsch, there is no heart to compete for favor, it is the so-called dark fragrance and sparse shadow, its heart is icy and clean. A picture of "Proud Snow and Cold Plum Pictures" jumped on the paper, and others who watched it were amazed.
It is "Aoxue Hanmei opens alone, and only Yiren comes with a dark fragrance." ”
"The cold plum that understands is through the bones, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. ”
Plum has a unique posture of Ling Han, more than three points of frost chrysanthemum; elegant appearance, still off the powder, more than peony; and the fragrance of the distance, compared with the hibiscus, more than the same.
"It's strange that he paints with his fingers. "As soon as the painting was completed, it was circulated to each other. Coincidentally, the five princes were also there that day, all of them were people who liked Danqing, and when they saw such a good painting, they couldn't put it down when they took it in their hands and looked at it carefully.
"Shen Gongzi is so talented, I don't know how to come up with this method of painting with my fingers. After seeing the two paintings painted by An Ran, everyone was convinced, and someone asked curiously.
"Senior brother Mi praise, this painting method is not what I came up with, this painting method is called finger painting, the original and Tang Dynasty Zhang Yanyuan wrote the book "Famous Paintings of the Past Dynasties", which has such a record: "In the Tang Dynasty, in a Bi Hong, Jingguan Zhao Shaoyin is the left concubine, is a contemporary master who is good at painting ancient pine. Du Fu once made a 'double pine map' for it. When Bi Shuzi saw Zhang Qiwei with a bald pen, or touched Sujuan with his hand. When he asked what he had received, he replied: 'The outer teacher creates the nature, and the heart is the source'. So Bi Hong put down his pen. This is the story of Zhang Qi touching Sujuan with his hand and Bi Hong bowing to the wind. It is also the origin of finger painting. An Ran told the origin of the finger painting he knew, saying that this special painting method had been around for a long time, and it was not his originality.
In the world where An Ran lived in his previous life, from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, in the past thousand years, there were no traces of finger painting, and there was no mention of the term finger painting and no comments on finger painting, until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the finger painting works were reappeared. And now the world where Enron is located is the same as the previous life before the Song Dynasty, but after the Song Dynasty, it was not the Yuan Dynasty, but the Dayin Dynasty, and after the Dayin Dynasty is the current Daqing Dynasty. Therefore, finger painting has long disappeared since the Tang Dynasty, so there are only a handful of people who know finger painting.
"I see. Suddenly, some people couldn't wait to look for it.
"Shen Gongzi, in Xia Chu Shenghao. This "Proud Snow and Cold Plum Picture" is very happy under it, and I don't know if I can cut my love. It was the fifth prince Chu Shenghao who said, the fifth prince said directly, and even reported his name, with a calm attitude, pointing out his identity, although there is a suspicion of being forced by the situation, it can also be seen that he really likes it.
"Xi Dynasty, this is the Five Princes, and the Five Princes are also good at the way of Danqing. You can communicate a lot, and it will be good for your respective Danqing techniques. There was a teacher next to him who liked An Ran's paintings very much, so he helped him speak.
"The Xi Dynasty has long heard of the talents of the five princes, and it is an honor for this "Proud Snow and Cold Plum Map" to be loved by the five princes. An Ran said with a smile, not arrogant or humble, with a generous attitude, but he had a good conversation with the five princes, and the two were also like-minded and intersected because of the painting.
Since then, Enron's painting skills have also been recognized and praised by everyone, and he has been crowned with the nickname of "Hanmo Gongzi".
The eldest lady of Fuzhong learned that An Ran had a good relationship with the five princes, and her attitude towards Aunt Liu was much better, so she hoped that An Ran could bring her brother Shen Zijue and take him to get to know the five princes.
On this day, An Ran was invited by the five princes to go out of the city to hunt, and An Ran called Shen Zijue to go together, firstly, to sell a good thing to the eldest lady, and on the other hand, the relationship between An Ran and Shen Zijue and the two brothers is also very good, and then this time with Shen Zijue, An Ran has already told the five princes.
agreed to gather at the city gate, An Ran and Shen Zijue were in front of each person and a horse, and each of them brought a small servant to follow behind.
When they came to the gate of the city, they soon came. An Ran looked at it, and saw that the five princes were dressed in white, with picturesque appearance and indifferent temperament. A man in purple who came with the five princes, Xuanwen Yun embroidery, noble temperament, handsome facial features, angular lines, sharp and deep eyes, I don't feel that I give people a sense of oppression, and a purple dress can't hide his outstanding heroic posture, and he is born with the momentum of a king in the world. This person is none other than Chu Zhengxin, the fourth prince who is good friends with the five princes. And the crossing woman Qi Jingyao is his princess, with her own ability and Qi Jingyao's help to him, she has many followers in the court.
There is also a person An Ran knows on the side, a young man dressed in blue, with a good appearance and a tall figure, who is An Ran's own brother-in-law Ji Cunzhou. There is also a handsome man, a tall nose, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall figure, and a cold temperament. This person is none other than Qi Jinxiu, the son of the Marquis of Wu'an, and Shen Zijue's brother-in-law. The shy young man with a delicate appearance and red lips and white teeth is Qi Wenxing, the grandson of the Duke of Qi.
The young man who was dressed in a white brocade robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, had a delicate appearance, and was a graceful and suave young man who was the youngest son of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Wang George. And standing with him is Xie Junyan, the grandson of the Xie family, Xie Junyan is wearing ink clothes, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, he is silent and smiling, his temperament is like Zhirulan, and he is the son of Zhilan, one of the four sons of the capital. And the current head of the Xie family, Xie Yuanzhen, is his grandfather and the teacher of today's saint, and the Xie family also has a daughter who has entered the palace, who is the current virtuous concubine and the biological mother of the five princes. In other words, Xie Junyan and the fifth prince are cousins.
The five princes introduced people to An Ran, and An Ran greeted them one by one, only secretly thinking about their personal family background.
To be honest, just by virtue of Enron's identity, you really can't have any relationship with these people. After all, in this elite circle, what you look at is identity, what kind of identity people make friends with what status, each has its own circle, these fixed circles, it is not easy for ordinary people to enter. As far as Enron itself is concerned, it is just a person. With his family background, his father is just from the fifth grade, in the capital, the fifth and sixth grade officials grasp a lot, it is not enough to see at all, the grandfather and uncle are official positions, but one has already become a minister, and the other has long been separated from it, not to mention that An Ran himself is still a concubine.
However, because of Enron's own talents, he was recognized by everyone, and was known as the son of Hanmo, and became the fourth prince of the capital on the same level as Xie Junyan, the son of Zhilan. and befriended the five princes.
The crowd greeted each other, got to know each other, and then headed out of the city.
