The fleets of the Qin and Huang families did not stay in Jiaxing for long. www.biquge.info In order to catch up with the progress, they did not play in Jiaxing, and after meeting the fleet, they only repaired for a day, and then continued south along the canal to Hangzhou.

When they arrived in Hangzhou, it was already winter, and the cold wind was blowing, which made people feel painful. Even if you wear a thick cotton jacket and a cloak with a leather lining, there is still a clammy chill that seeps into your bones. In such weather, Qin Hanzhen didn't want to go out to play and watch the scenery, he just wanted to stay in a warm house.

The Qin and Huang families came to Hangzhou and did not stay in the inn or rent a house. The Qin family has an industry here, which is a tea garden, and there is also a four-five-entry mansion attached to it. Although it is a rural residence, Zhou Xiangnian sent someone to clean it in advance, and it is also clean and tidy. This tea garden is not very far from Hangzhou City, the transportation is convenient, and it is clean, and the scenery is also very pleasant, Qin Bai decided to settle here, and the Niu family invited the Huang family's aunt and sister-in-law to live together.

The color and color things in the house are all complete, except for the fresh and sweet taste of Jiangnan characteristics, which makes Niu's, Qin Hanzhen and Huang family's aunt and sister-in-law not very accustomed to it, everything else is very comfortable. The heating facilities are also sufficient, and the steward of the tea garden is very careful, and specially bought the best silver frost charcoal for the host and guests to heat the stove. In the tea garden, there are also special foods such as tea and Longjing shrimp produced by themselves, although not everything is suitable for people's tastes, it is also passable. Qin Bai ate very well. He has been accustomed to Jiangnan flavors since he was a child, and although he has been in the northwest for 30 years, he loves to eat rice more than pasta.

Everyone rested in the tea garden for two days, and then took a car into Hangzhou City to play, who knew that day, there was a light snow.

This is the first snow in Hangzhou since the beginning of winter this year. The snow is not heavy, but it only covers a thin layer of ground, and it has not completely covered the houses, streets, mountains and rivers of the world. But it is such a thin layer of white that brings a special beauty to the lakes and mountains of Hangzhou, which makes Qin Hanzhen and others admire

Originally, they were going to take a boat trip to the West Lake, but because of the snow, they couldn't make the trip. They found a large teahouse on the edge of the West Lake, and booked a private room upstairs, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the West Lake through the glass window, and tasting Hangzhou's local famous dishes and snacks at the same time.

The private room was large and bright, and it was much more comfortable to sit in it than to walk outside in the wind and snow. Qin Hanzhen was full of food and drink, and when he saw that his grandfather Qin Bai ordered someone to bring painting tools, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled Zhao Mo's sleeve and stepped up.

Qin Bai is painting a lot today, and he has the heart to paint a picture of the first snow in the West Lake. Although Qin Hanzhen has seen a few snow scenes, he has never really painted snow scenes, and he is a little unsure of how to draw them. Now standing on the sidelines, watching my grandfather draw a picture from beginning to end, I have some bottom in my heart.

When Qin Han was really learning to paint, she had made progress recently, she was often praised by her grandfather, and Zhao Mo was complimented by Zhao Mo on the side, and she was very interested in painting, so she couldn't help but feel a little itchy. She didn't want to disturb her grandfather's interest, so she quietly asked someone to tell the guy in the teahouse, asked for an extra square table, and also took her own painting tools, slowly recalled her grandfather's brushwork, and also painted a snow scene of West Lake.

Although it is not as good as Qin Bai's painting, it finally has a little meaning, which can be said to make up for her shortcomings in the snow scene. It doesn't matter how good a painting is, what matters is that she has mastered the painting method.

Qin Hanzhen was so excited that he painted another sketch.

Zhao Mo naturally praised it again, Qin Bai finished painting his own, came over to take a few looks, and nodded and said: "It's a little interesting, it's just that the brushwork is still too immature, you have to watch and practice more, don't be complacent." ”

Qin Hanzhen agreed with a smile.

Huang Qingfang came over to look at her words and sighed: "Yongjiahou is really amazing to teach his daughter. Han Zhen is so young, he has such good painting skills, I don't think there are many ladies in the capital who can match yours. ”

Qin Hanzhen only thought that she was like Zhao Mo, because she was friendly with herself, so she praised it without logic, and said with a smile: "Aunt Huang's words are too exaggerated. Many of the ladies in the capital have been painted since elementary school, so why are they not as good as me? I have only been learning for a few years? I am not proficient in brushwork alone. If such a painting is still applauded, so that those talented women who are really talented and learn will hear it, and they will laugh off their big teeth. ”

Huang Qingfang said with a smile: "I also know a few ladies, it's not that I haven't seen a few daughters with the name of talented women, and naturally there are also outstanding painting skills." It's just that people in the boudoir learn to paint, mostly learn flowers and birds, followed by ladies or figures, can paint landscapes, and can also paint with a decent appearance, it is extremely rare, and it is already a first-class figure among talented women. Han Zhen, your snow scene of West Lake is a little different. Although the brushwork is immature, it is better to have a good layout, the color is unique and natural, obviously the snow is white, but in addition to using white, there are some deep and light shades of ink, as well as light blue and light blue, it looks like the color of the snow in the sun, it seems to be a real snow scene. That's why I said that you are a good painter, at least in Beijing, I have never seen a few talented women draw snow scenes, better than yours. ”

Qin Hanzhen's face turned red when he heard this, and he waved his hand again and again: "Aunt Huang, don't praise me anymore, I blush." ”

She is a person who has seen really good snow scenes, those famous masterpieces, as well as modern paintings and calligraphy, etc., which one is not good? She is far behind, how dare she say that she can compare with the famous talented women in the capital? She still thinks that Huang Qingfang loves the house and Wu, and kindly promotes her.

Huang Qingfang couldn't laugh or cry a little, thinking that it would be better for Qin Hanzhen to be humble. At such a young age, he is already like this. What if she had known that her current painting skills were better than those of many ladies who were a few years older than her, and she was proud and complacent, and she would never seek to be motivated from now on? She didn't say anything more, she only knew in her heart that Qin Hanzhen's painting skills were outstanding.

The so-called famous talented ladies in the capital, how many of them are really outstanding in learning and good in painting? It is just the reputation in the boudoir, and most of them are the reason for raising their value in order to get married. If you go outside and compare yourself with a serious painter, at least eight out of ten will be ridiculed. Generally, the daughter of the boudoir can draw some common flowers, birds, and characters in a decent way, which is comparable to the average level of ordinary readers, and some people praise her as a talented woman. The real strength is just a few, and most of them are family roots, because they have been nurtured since childhood. Huang Qingfang really thinks that Qin Han's painting is really good, but what about the immature brushwork?

Qin Hanzhen didn't know that there was such a big gap between her and Huang Qingfang in the evaluation criteria for so-called good paintings. It's probably because she is used to seeing good things, both in modern and ancient times. She learns to paint, paint, once she encounters a familiar subject, she will often subconsciously refer to the layout or color of other famous paintings, although the brushwork is her own, but stained with the light of famous paintings, learned a little fur, compared with the works of ordinary peers, it naturally shows extraordinary. Huang Qingfang has not seen as many good paintings as she has seen, and she has been in contact with unsatisfactory paintings all year round.

But this misunderstanding is harmless. Qin Hanzhen drew two pictures of snow scenes, and he was quite satisfied. When the family returned to the tea garden, she took the opportunity to practice a few more paintings, and practiced several techniques of painting snow that Qin Bai instructed her, and was still thinking about it, and when she returned to the capital, she would lend out several ancient paintings with snow scenes collected by her grandfather to have a good look.

Qin Bai made a lot of friends in Suzhou, these friends also have old friends in Hangzhou, thanks to their blessings, within a few days of hard work, Qin Bai made a lot of famous calligraphers and painters in Hangzhou. This time, he took Qin Hanzhen, who was dressed as a boy, to meet with someone, and Zhao Mo probably had nothing to do, so he followed. Qin Hanzhen was very lucky, and met a local painter with a good temper, who was teaching his sixteen or seventeen-year-old son to paint snow scenes.

He pointed at his son generously, Qin Hanzhen stood aside and listened and watched, he didn't care, but smiled and asked Qin Hanzhen to draw a few strokes and show him. Qin Han was really overjoyed, and seized this opportunity to paint a snow scene sketch, and got a lot of guidance from the painter, and felt that he had made great progress.

This is a real painter, and his level is stronger than Qin Bai. Although Qin Bai is also very extraordinary, he is not a professional painter after all.

When Qin Hanzhen returned home, he was still a little happy, feeling that he had taken a big advantage today. Qin Bai is also very happy that her granddaughter can meet a kind famous teacher for guidance, which is a good thing that cannot be found. He said to Niu's in a loud voice: "Today, Han really has the guidance of others, but he can't work hard for others." Didn't I buy a landscape map of a famous artist from the former dynasty in Suzhou last time? I remember that you kept it for me. Find it out, attach a post, and Ming'er will send it over as a thank you gift. His son is learning landscape and pastoral painting, and this painting must be to their liking. ”

Niu smiled and agreed.

Qin Hanzhen pulled Zhao Mo and whispered: "Cousin Zhao, why do you seem to be so quiet today? You are also learning painting with me, why don't you go and ask that gentleman for advice?"

Zhao Mo smiled: "I'm actually not as enthusiastic about painting as you, but it's just learning to cultivate my body and mind and pass the time." If you really study hard, I'm afraid you will feel a little impatient. Since you like this, I naturally put you first. This is not a serious apprenticeship, and it is the first time we have met with others. That gentleman is willing to guide you, he is generous, if I also join in the fun, I am afraid that people will be annoying, and I will refuse to teach my cousin you. If I really want to learn, won't you teach me, cousin?"

Of course not!

Qin Hanzhen said that as long as Zhao Mo wanted to learn, she could teach him at any time. But then again, it turns out that Zhao Mo is not so interested in painting, so she has been dragging him to learn painting all along, is it too wronged by him?

Zhao Mo shook his head with a smile. How could he be wronged? He actually understood that his uncle and grandfather Qin Bai were deliberately cultivating him to be an elegant idler, learn more poetry, calligraphy and painting, and gain a good foothold in the clan in the future, so that he could gain a good reputation in the clan, but he was not easily feared by the royal family. But this was not the life he wanted.

On the father's side of the capital, there has been a new movement recently. Sometimes, it's not that you want to hide, and it won't come to provoke you. He really wants to be a rich idler immersed in landscape calligraphy and painting, but can others really allow him to be so leisurely?
