266 Luminous
The next day was a handicraft exhibition and charity sale, the four to nine groups made an appointment to go to the gate of Dongxi Academy to gather, Yan Qi and Yan Jiu Young Master went to Wufu early in the morning, Wu Ting injured his foot, and the sister and brother never had the opportunity to visit, this time it happened to be on the way.
In view of the large population of the Wu Mansion and the fact that there were several officials in the family, when the unit was divided into houses, the leaders took special care of the number of staff workers and assigned them several mansions next to each other, and then the Wu family opened up these mansions and turned them into a huge mansion, in which a family of more than 100 people lived lively.
Yan Qi and Young Master Yan Jiu entered through the side gate - if they really wanted to go through the main gate, when they reached Wu Ting's courtyard, they would probably already greet and twitch.
Led by a tiger-backed bear-waisted little guy, the sisters and brothers went to Wu Yue's yard first, and then Wu Yue took them to Wu Ting's yard, as soon as they entered the door, they saw Wu Ting standing in the courtyard with one foot, holding dumbbells there with his bare arms, obviously it was a cold winter, but this one was already sweating, and when they saw Yan Qi and the two sisters and brothers coming in, they stopped with a smile and wiped the sweat on their foreheads: "The two of you are here, and the cold house is shining!"
"We're just here to see how your muscles, babbling feet, are going. Yan Qi said calmly under his younger brother's sideways gaze that saw through everything.
"Fifth brother now walks by jumping. Wu Yue interjected.
"It's so cute. "Yan Qidao.
Wu Ting smiled and took the big towel handed by the little maid to wipe the sweat on his body, and beckoned to a few people: "Come into the house and sit." β
The room of the boys of the physical education department is different from the room of the boys of the literature department, Wu Ting's room is tall and spacious, the tables, chairs and furniture are all looking at the heavy and solid iron pear wood, the bow and arrow are hung on the wall, the kang is covered with tiger skins, and the most important thing is that there is a complete bear skull on the shelf - that is the trophy that Wu Ting hunted with his own hands, and as for the antique ornaments, flowers and grass screens or anything, the only thing that can be regarded as decoration is the Dapeng wings map hanging on the wall of the hall house.
"I heard that you had a stomach trouble a few days ago, what's going on?" Wu Ting asked Yan Qi with a smile as soon as he sat down.
"Thank you for your concern. "Yan Qidao.
"I'm just curious about what you've eaten that others don't dare to eat. Wu Ting smiled.
ββ¦β¦ Thinking too much is not good for foot injuries. "Yan Qidao.
"Did Yuan Chang write to you?"
ββ¦β¦ Asking too much is not good for foot injuries. β
"To what extent has the 'merger' with Xiao Chen been practiced?"
ββ¦β¦ Asking too much is not good for foot injuries. β
"Are you going to keep talking like this?" Wu Yue couldn't help but interject.
"We didn't really have much to talk about ten years ago. "Yan Qidao.
Wu Ting: "Well, it's just disgusting with each other. β
Yan Qi: "Ang, I can't break his foot directly." β
Wu Ting: "Yes, I can't just put a talisman on her head to make her show her original form." β
Yan Qi: "What is my original form?"
Wu Ting: "A talisman." β
Yan Qi: "......" snake spirit disease.
Wu Ting turned to look at Young Master Yan Jiu: "Is there any new news in the Di newspaper?" This is to ask about the war in Beisai.
Young Master Yan Jiu said slowly: "I only know that it has snowed heavily for seven days in a row, and the pass of the border city has been blocked by snow, all the battle reports cannot be delivered, and countless refugees who have fled the war have died. β
Wu Ting couldn't help frowning: "This snow has been rare for decades, and this sudden occurrence is probably unexpected by the imperial court." β
Young Master Yan Jiu said: "The south is also suffering from snow disasters now, this year is a disaster year, drought, floods, and snow disasters are raging in turn, it is reported that the emperor is ready to issue an edict and increase efforts to rescue the people." β
"Uncle Wu hasn't heard any news from him?" Yan Qi asked.
The brothers and sisters of the martial family shook their heads together, "What I'm worried about is that the Heavenly Dynasty hasn't fought a hard battle for many years, and the surrounding barbarians have been fighting with each other for many years, and they have always maintained a high level of fighting. Wu Ting said.
"Has Uncle Wu ever had snowball fights before?" Yan Qi asked.
Wu Ting shook his head again: "My father and uncle have only led troops to fight in the south before, and I am afraid that I have no experience in such an environment in the north." β
"It's okay, isn't there still Second Uncle Yan!" Wu Yue comforted himself and comforted Wu Ting by the way.
Wu Ting smiled and didn't say much, in fact, he and Young Master Yan Jiu both knew that even Yan Zichen had little experience in fighting on such a snowy day, and how many soldiers in this batch had seen rare snow for more than ten years?
"Be optimistic," Yan Qi said, "Don't think of your fathers so stupidly, their military exploits are not earned by bragging." β
"That's it!" Wu Yue was comforted and nodded hurriedly.
Wu Ting lowered his eyes, and the hand on his knee slowly clenched into a fist, "To be honest, I'm really jealous of Yuan Chang, I can't wait to go to the battlefield like him, even if I throw my head and spill blood!"
"It's not too late to build up. "Yan Qidao.
"Not worried about him?" Wu Ting asked with a smile.
ββ¦β¦ Worrying too much is not good for foot injuries. "Yan Qidao.
"It's time for us to go see the exhibition!" Wu Yue immediately jumped up and shouted.
"Take care of your injuries," Yan Qi got up and said to Wu Ting, "You don't have dexterous feet, just send us to the gate of the mansion." β
Wu Ting: "......"
Wu Yue: "Hahahaha!"
Of course, Yan Qi was joking, quit Wu Ting, and went out to Dongxi Academy with Wu Yue and Young Master Yan Jiu.
Compared with yesterday's competition, there are obviously fewer people visiting the exhibition at the academy today, the first is that the weather is too cold, and there will be snowflakes again, and the road is slippery, and many people are lazy to go out in the wind and snow; the second is because there is a comprehensive martial arts competition this afternoon, and it is the final four of the elite competition, which is more exciting than a game, and the national project is of course more attractive to the audience than the handicraft exhibition.
Although the ultimate team of Splendid Academy lost to Ziyang and missed the semi-finals, the women's team successfully advanced, Wu Yue had to go to the competition in the afternoon, and the exhibition could only be seen for half a day, and Yan Qilu Lotus would also go to the scene to watch the game to cheer her on.
It stands to reason that Yan Qi, as a female player, can also return to the women's team to continue playing, but Wu Changge didn't speak for some reason, and Yan Qi happened to be happy and relaxed, but Wu Yue heard Wu Ting's speculation on this matter: "The knife used to kill chickens really doesn't play a role in exercising for you chicken-killing knives, so you can simply use whatever knife is used in its own place." β
The venues arranged by Dongxi for the exhibition are all over the academy, and if you want to visit the exhibition hall, you have to go around in the Dongxi Academy - this is also a little selfishness of the leaders of Dongxi, and of course, it is also a little privilege of the host, this arrangement can allow the audience to visit the exhibition to see more of the beautiful environment inside Dongxi Academy, and cheer for next year's students.
As soon as the venues were so scattered, the number of spectators in each hall was even smaller, and the entire hall was deserted, with only a few Dongxi students who were in charge of watching the venue strolling around.
The four to nine gangs walked unhurriedly between the various exhibition halls, but they could appreciate these masterpieces full of creativity and imagination without interference, and if they looked at what they liked, they paid for it on the spot, and many of the handicrafts on display were collected by the families of the official wealth, which were specially donated for charity this time, and the value was higher.
Young Master Yan Jiu and Cui Xi are relatively good at this aspect in the gang, so everyone basically follows these two, and when these two stop in front of which exhibit for a while, everyone will stare at that exhibit for a while, and they will ask nonsense if they don't understand, such as what aspect of the artistic expression of this exhibit is there? What material is that exhibit made of? How to make it? Can it be eaten? Can you double the money if you buy it back and sell it? and so on.
Cui Xi could still answer with a smile, Young Master Yan Jiu simply pretended to be old and weak, and walked slowly at the back of the team, everyone often walked and couldn't see him, and turned around to see the thing holding his hand and staying eight zhang away, staring at a sculpture that I didn't know if it was stone or wax.
"Hurry up," Yan Qi beckoned to his younger brother, "We're going to turn a corner, it's full of all kinds of paintings here, you like it." β
Young Master Yan Jiu slowly pulled out his heels and came over, and when he turned around, he saw that all of them were paintings, including wood paintings, iron paintings, sugar paintings, sand paintings, and so on, and so on, the only thing in common was that all the paintings were not honestly drawn on paper...... Oh, no, there is still a painting that is painted on paper, hanging on the wall in a regular manner, painting a vast ocean, the sky above the sea is a big cloud, the painting skills are very good, as a pure painting to sell for charity can probably be sold at a good price, but such an ordinary painting hanging in the handicraft exhibition hall, it seems too ordinary and ordinary to have no new ideas.
"So is there anything peculiar about this painting?" Wu Yue asked Young Master Yan Jiu.
Without waiting for Young Master Yan Jiu to speak, a student from Dongxi who was in charge of watching the scene came over, and when he heard Wu Yue's question, he replied: "Of course there are, we don't accept things without characteristics in the exhibition hall." This painting can't be appreciated in the usual way, you see, the picture of this painting is now showing clouds and sea, right?"
The crowd nodded and looked at the man.
"Okay, now you wait here, I'll go and set it up, and you'll know the wonder of this painting in no time!" The student strode away, put down the thick curtain between the pillars of the temple next to him, and immediately covered a large area of light, and then the student went to the other side, and the curtain between the pillars of the temple also fell, and the other three sides of the wall where the painting was hung were covered by the curtain, forming a square space that was difficult for light to penetrate, the space was dark, and everyone was not sure why, but suddenly felt that some dots on the painting on the wall were slowly emitting light, and the light was more and more, until there was a whole picture of the starry sky and the mountains and rivers in front of everyone's eyesοΌ
Fluorescent painting, Yan Qi sighed, when the light is sufficient, it is a picture, and when the light is dimmed, another picture is outlined by fluorescence - once again kneeling to the wise ancients.
"Oh my God, how did you do this?!" The naΓ―ve ancient Wu Yue exclaimed, and even Lu Rong had a look of surprise.
Young Master Yan Jiu, a young and old ancient, remained calm, and said slowly with his hands in his hands: "Luminous painting." "Yesterday's Dream Record" contains, the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Houzhu has a "cattle herding map" once dedicated to Song Taizong, in the picture during the day to see a cow grazing outside the barn, and at night to see the cow in the barn, Taizong to ask the ministers "why so?" are unknown, the unique monk Zanning to solve the puzzle, said that this is because, with Hainan pearl grease and pigment painting can only be seen at night, and with Wojiao Mountain stone grinding painting, it can only be seen in the daytime, this painting is caused by painting a cow with two colors - The above statements are all rumors, whether there are these two things in the world has not been confirmed, but the secret art of luminous painting does exist, and now I don't know whether it has been lost or the person who holds this technique does not want to be an outsider, and there are very few paintings handed down to the world, and this one is very valuable. β
"Who painted this painting?" Wu Yue hurriedly asked the Dongxi student when he heard this.
The student took out a piece of paper from his arms, which was written as the author or donor of all the exhibits in this exhibition hall, and was looking for them one by one, but saw that Young Master Yan Jiu seemed to suddenly find something from the painting, walked forward a few steps, stared at the lower left corner of the painting for a long time, turned his head to look at Yan Qi, who was looking at him, and pointed his fingertips on the two lines of poetry above the inscription, and read it out slowly word by word:
"The sea in front of me is small, and there are many white clouds on my clothes. β
When he was on Yudao during the summer vacation, Yan Zike once gave Yan Qi a shirt, and these two poems were written on the hem of the shirt.
"Coincidence?" Yan Qi walked over, "These two poems are good sentences, and there should be many people who have heard and liked them." β
"If these two lines of poetry don't explain anything," Young Master Yan Jiu's fingertips slid to the place below, it was a very strange sign, like an extra vertical in the middle of the word "A", Young Master Yan Jiu lowered his voice to remind his sister, "One of the stone statues in the Sanyou Cave is tied to that jade pendant." "Exactly the same as this logo.
"Oh my God, this world is so small. "Yan Qidao.
Moreover, the handwriting of these two poems is ninety percent similar to the handwriting on the piece of paper that you unintentionally brought home from the basement library of the college. Young Master Yan Jiu's speech was no longer slow, and he looked like he was already on fire.
ββ¦β¦ Such a coincidence has happened again and again, which makes me a little suspicious of the reality of this world. Yan Qi sighed.
"This coincidence, it's not unfounded," Young Master Yan Jiu hooked the corners of his lips, "As far as I know, the Jinyuan used to have a punishment for naughty students, that is, to punish them for copying ancient books and volumes in the library, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, which can not only hone the naughty students' hearts, but also reserve a few more rare ancient books or solitary books." Uncle and his two friends were the kind of students who were a headache for the college back then, and if we looked in the library again, we might still be able to see Uncle Uncle's handwriting. β
"How did you make sure that the handwriting on that piece of paper and this painting are similar?" Yan Qi asked Sherlock Holmes.
"The word 'cloud', the person who writes it always likes to draw the following two strokes into a cloud-shaped arc, according to the rules of calligraphy, this way of writing is really very rebellious and uninhibited, contrary to the right path," Young Master Yan Jiu said, "There are only a few people in the world who use the same way of writing, even if it is not written by the same person, it must be written by two people who know each other well." β
"So, one of the Sanyou Caves, the person who wrote the word in the library, and the person who painted the picture in front of him, are actually the same person?"
"To put it more clearly," Young Master Yan Jiu looked at Yan Qi, "This person is one of the three friends, Liuzheng." β
"Then the person who provided this painting ......" Yan Qi and Young Master Yan Jiu looked at the Dongxi student who was still looking for them on the list. 166 Reading Network
