Cao Danqing is too lazy to go to the studio these days. At his age, if he has the energy, he will paint more, and if he doesn't have the energy to force it, he will undoubtedly find guilt for himself. Especially with a background in literary and art criticism, he is still so sharp in commenting on others, and he is also strict with himself.

"Smoke again!" Mrs. Zhang pushed the door in, and when she saw the dead old man who quickly extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the narcissus basin, she frowned and said, "Don't spoil my narcissus." ”

Cao Danqing smiled, "I feel uncomfortable, so I want to take two puffs." ”

"What's so uncomfortable about you? There are so many things to do after retirement, and the day before yesterday, my daughter called and asked us to go abroad for a few days, and you didn't hesitate to go. ”

"You're going, you're going. Cao Danqing's cigarette was half gone, so he had to peel an orange to relieve the taste in his mouth.

"The cold is just right, and I don't have a long memory?"

Cao Danqing said with some annoyance: "If you want to go, don't come to my ears to break thoughts." ”

"I'm leaving, who cares if you eat, drink, and Lazar? Really, you are content, is it because of Xiaoyue's affairs? I heard them say that people are doing big things in Lin'an, and the East China Youth Calligraphy and Painting League has also brought Chinese painting with them, why are you so unwelcome?"

Cao Danqing sighed and said: "In terms of calligraphy, yes, he does have this qualification, but what about Chinese painting, who cares about him? Just his three-legged cat level, let alone any calligraphy and painting alliance, is not enough to see compared with those high-achieving students of Gome! I asked him to come back and polish it well, but he doesn't listen to me now, I'm really worried that my good youth will be wasted......

"They are all college students, and they have their own ideas, why are you unreasonable? Besides, I don't think Xiao Yue's level of Chinese painting is as unbearable as you think. It's already considered to be the middle and upper level of the same generation, if it's a fine brushwork, in addition to a single point of technique, composition, coloring, it should be regarded as a leader, what else are you not satisfied with?"

"Ordinary students, I naturally won't say anything if they can have such a level, but the key is that his painting skills are now matched with his calligraphy, which is ...... There is a feeling of a dog's tail continuing to marten. I'm afraid that in the future, someone will scold me that Cao Danqing doesn't have that diamond diamond, and go to pick up porcelain work!"

Ding dong!

The sound of the doorbell ringing was heard outside.

Cao Danqing stood up, "This kid is finally willing to come back?" Why don't you take advantage of this time to put aside your pen and not write, and make up for the painting work, Liu and a few old boys, maybe how to laugh at me behind my back." ”

"Sir, your courier. ”

"Express?" Cao Danqing was a little puzzled, "Did you send it by mistake, I didn't buy anything." ”

The courier looked at the courier number and said, "That's right, you are Mr. Cao Danqing, please sign for it." ”

Cao Danqing took the carton suspiciously, and after signing the order, he turned around and closed the door.

"What did you buy?"

"I don't know. ”

The old lady tried to ask, "Did Xiaojie send it from abroad?"

Cao Danqing sat on the sofa with a cardboard box and glanced at the address above, "It was sent from Lin'an, this kid, what kind of fame is he doing, hum." ”

The old lady looked at her wife's tough mouth, her eyebrows were full of joy, and she also smiled silently, and turned to pour water for him.

"Painting scrolls?" Cao Danqing looked at the things that came by courier with some surprise. He opened it slowly, not knowing what Zhong Yue meant by this. However, when he opened it halfway, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It's a little flavorful......!

Bamboo, which has always been a popular subject of literati painting. It's easy to draw well, but it's hard to draw it well. Cao Danqing only opened half of it, and he felt that this work was amazing. If you are not a master, it is much more difficult to draw a bamboo than to paint a bamboo forest, and look at the content of this painting head, it is obviously a bamboo, which is what Cao Danqing was slightly surprised by.

Painting a single bamboo tree can have very high requirements for painters.

"Why are you so fascinated?"

Cao Danqing put the scroll on the table and slowly unfolded it, "This kid must have to stay in Lin'an for a few days, so I don't know where to get a painting to prevaricate me, so as to block my mouth." ”

The old lady also had a little eye, but when she saw that it was a single bamboo, she frowned, "Looking at this painting, I always feel that it is not finished." ”

Cao Danqing nodded, feeling the same way, and completely unfolded the remaining half of the painting.

"Okay, no money?"

Cao Danqing looked at the corner of the painting, there was no payment, only seven or eight idle stamps, which were stamped on the top in a staggered manner.

"Pure heart. ”

"Lao Ji is in waiting. ”

"Master's heart?"

"Zhengxiang. ”

The old lady shook her head and smiled: "What a strange match, these idle medals are used with a bit of a snake to add to the meaning." ”

Cao Danqing touched his chin, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly laughed, "This stinky boy!

"What do you mean by that?"

Cao Danqing said: "This painting is not signed, how can ordinary people not pay before mounting? Only now he puts down his pen and does not write, so he will not pay off, and you look at the brushwork of this bamboo leaf, it is clear that there is a taste of his pen, obviously, he really tried to integrate the calligraphy into the Chinese painting, afraid that I will blame him for not wanting to forge ahead, specially take this painting to prevaricate me, want to block my mouth." ”

"This is just your one-sided speculation. ”

Cao Danqing sneered: "You connect the first words of the four idle chapters on the head of this little rabbit cub and read it." ”

"Qing-Lao-Shi-Zheng......" the old lady laughed, "this kid is really a goblin." ”

"A little red guy! This ink bamboo is a bit interesting, but I haven't taught him to paint, could it be that he is stealing a teacher in Lin'an?"

Mrs. Zhang put her arm on Cao Danqing's shoulder and said, "It's not decades ago now, don't question Xiao Yue, learn from others, it's a good thing." ”

"I also studied under Mr. Bin Hong and Mr. Fu Baoshi, this has nothing to do with the family, it's just that being able to teach Zhong Yue to such a level in a short period of time is extraordinary, it's an itchy technique, and I want to meet it." ”

"Not really. ”

Cao Danqing asked: "Why? There are still these idle chapters in this kid's hand, looking at the chapters, it should belong to the techniques of the Hui school, it seems that there are a lot of good goods on hand, and he dares to joke with me in this way, see that I don't go over in person, I can't beat him well!"

The old lady grabbed Cao Danqing's sweater vest, "Have you forgotten what the doctor explained yesterday?"

"It's okay......" Cao Danqing dragged out the end like a child.

"If you make trouble again, I'll let Xiaojie persuade you. ”

"......" Cao Danqing shook his head and sighed, muttering, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise!"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at the old thing, "What did you say?"

"I said eat yellow braised chicken at noon!"
