"Could it be that Mr. Daqian, the shrimp painted is wrong?"

"It's impossible, just look at the shrimp in the picture. A few brushstrokes, with the shade of ink, show a kind of dynamism of the shrimp, wonderful, where is wrong? ”

There was a lot of speculation, but no one got to the point.

Ren Lao shook his head slightly, suddenly looked at Wang Guan, and asked, "Young man, do you know what the reason is?" ”

"This ...... I don't know. Wang Guan was a little dazed and guessed: "Could it be that Mr. Daqian's pen has fallen off the ink?" So the old man Shiraishi grabbed him and reminded him to pay attention. ”

"Haha!" When Ren Lao heard this, he suddenly laughed and said happily: "It turns out that you really don't know." ”

Nonsense!

Wang Guan rolled his eyes in his heart, and there was no hint on the picture, how could he know what was going on.

Chapter 143 Everyone has a gossip heart, you must know that the pictures on the table, the places that are covered by the notes, are actually the inscriptions and inscriptions. The content on the inscription is what Ren Lao said. However, there was no mention in the text at all, Qi Baishi pulled Zhang Daqian's sleeve and asked Wang Guan how to answer Ren Lao's question.

"Elder Ren, don't sell it, tell us what happened."

At this time, the others rushed again.

However, Ren Lao was a little hesitant and said hesitantly: "Everyone should know that Mr. Daqian is my teacher. According to the rules of ancient times, it is a shame for the Venerable. This matter should not be announced to the public by me. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Many people feel very confused, and of course there are some smart people who seem to have guessed a possibility. However, I was afraid that Ren Lao was in front of me, and I was embarrassed to say it to my face.

"Brother Ren, so many years have passed since this incident, what else can't be let go."

Suddenly, behind the crowd, a vigorous voice was heard. Everyone subconsciously looked back and saw an old man with gray hair. With Qi Qingguo's support, he slowly walked over.

"It's Old ...... Feng"

In the crowd, someone recognized the old man's body Chapter 143 Everyone had a gossip heart and hurriedly called.

"Old Feng!"

This Feng Lao seems to be quite prestigious. At the man's reminder, the others hurriedly greeted them, and then stepped back one after another, making way for a passage.

Meanwhile. Wang Guan also suddenly realized, no wonder there was such a big movement, and he didn't see Qi Qingguo come forward, it turned out that he was going to pick up someone.

"Brother Feng, you're here too. I'm going to visit you again after the exhibition. ”

Seeing the old man, Ren Lao was also very happy and walked up to greet him in person.

"I heard that Brother Ren has arrived, how embarrassed am I to sit at home." Feng Lao said with a smile. His expression was also very excited, holding Ren Lao's hand tightly and not letting go for a long time.

The camaraderie between the elderly. Not something young people can imagine.

After all, after entering the twilight years, the friends around you will definitely decrease one by one. Especially for people of the age of Ren Lao and Feng Lao, it can also be called a blessing in life to be able to meet with their acquaintances.

Old friends for many years must have a lot to talk about. The two of them shushed and asked to warm up, a bit endlessly. In a blink of an eye, more than ten minutes passed.

And. The seniority of the two is too high. The people next to him, no matter how helpless they were, didn't dare to disturb them casually, so they could only show smiling faces. Listen patiently.

Finally, the two stopped and got down to business.

Feng Lao sighed and said, "Brother Ren, I didn't expect that you would take out this painting." But. Since you have taken out the drawings, then it also proves that you have the intention to make this matter public. Then why did he hesitate when it came to the end? ”

Ren Lao sighed lightly and was silent.

Seeing this, Feng Lao also understood Ren Lao's concerns, because he was afraid that Zhang Daqian's reputation would be damaged. At that moment, he smiled slightly and reminded: "Brother Ren, you are a fan of the authorities." Do you still remember Cao E's inscription? ”

"Cao E's inscription, isn't that Mr. Zhang Daqian's heirloom, what can happen?" Someone was very confused and quietly asked the person next to him.

"Isn't it, you don't know about this?" Others were surprised and explained softly: "When I was young, Mr. Zhang Daqian liked to play mahjong. Later, he fell deeper and deeper. Once he was set a trap and lost a fortune, so he had to use the priceless treasure of his family's ancestors - Wang Xizhi's Cao E tablet to pay off his gambling debts. ”

Later, before Mr. Zhang Daqian's mother died, she wanted to see this family heirloom. Hearing this request, Mr. Zhang Daqian was very frightened and wanted to cry without tears. I had to lie and say that the things were placed in Suzhou. There was no way, in order to comfort his mother, Mr. Zhang Daqian had to go to Suzhou to find Cao E's inscription. ”

After many inquiries, Mr. Zhang Daqian learned that Cao E's tablet was bought by a person named Ye Gongqiu. Mr. Zhang Daqian hurriedly came to visit. After Ye Gongqiu knew the ins and outs of the matter, without saying a word, he returned the original copy of Cao E's tablet, so that Mr. Zhang Daqian was grateful. ”

After hearing the man's story, many people suddenly came to their senses. Even Wang Guan didn't expect that the famous Zhang Daqian, when he was young, would have such an unknown absurd thing.

At this time, Feng Lao sighed again: "The world only knows that the Zhang family has three family rules. No smoking, no alcohol and no gambling, first offenders are advised first, and repeat offenders are kicked out of the house. But everyone doesn't know the origin of these three family rules. ”

Feng Lao said solemnly: "Brother Ren, you must know it too. In Mr. Daqian's later years, he wrote a preface to Ye Gongqiu's collection of paintings and calligraphy, and wanted to publicize the absurdities of his youth. However, the people around Mr. Daqian found out and persuaded him one after another. thinks that he is famous at home and abroad, and if this matter is made public, will not let the world know his shortcomings. ”

However, Mr. Daqian insisted on his own opinion and wrote this past incident into the preface. The first is to let the world know the noble character of Mr. Ye Gongqiu, and the second is to let the world know the truth that without going through a trench, you will not grow wise. ”

Old Feng sighed and said, "Mr. Daqian, you are worthy of being a generation of grandmasters. Even he himself didn't care about these subsections. We, the descendants, why do we want to hide it? ”

"Mr. Zhang Daqian is not a saint, as an ordinary man, he also has careless mistakes, but he has the courage to correct them. In the rest of his career, he has always maintained the character of a man, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, the rich and the rich cannot be lewd, and the mighty cannot be bent. ”

In the end, Feng Lao concluded: "Only such people are worthy of our admiration. Could it be that everyone will look down on Mr. Daqian because he is young and frivolous and has made some mistakes? ”

"How could it be ......"

"Mr. Daqian will change his mistakes when he knows it, both virtue and art, it's too late for us to revere it, how dare we despise it."

Everyone hurriedly shook their heads and expressed their opinions one after another. Moreover, they say it from the bottom of their hearts.

I don't know why, but everyone has always given the greatest tolerance to talented people, especially those who are very famous and have become ancient.

Throughout the dynasties, the hermits of the Han Dynasty, the wise men of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the poets of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the lyricists of the Song Dynasty, the literati of the Ming Dynasty, and the celebrities of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. From ancient times to the present, they are all in the same line, notoriously arrogant, bohemian, and even maverick models.

In almost every period of history, there will be one or two talented and arrogant people. If such a person is by your side, you will definitely feel uncomfortable. However, this kind of person is far away from you, basically out of reach, and it is impossible to reach at all. Then, everyone naturally ignores his shortcomings and expands his advantages infinitely.

After all, even Dong Qichang is a person with a bad character. His calligraphy and paintings are sought after by the world, not to mention Zhang Daqian. made a mistake, not only knew how to correct it, but also was able to publish it frankly, which did not hinder Zhang Daqian's reputation at all, but made people feel that he was very real and respected him even more.

"It's me who is overthinking."

At this time, Ren Lao figured it out and chuckled: "Thanks to Brother Feng's awakening." ”

"Hehe, it's none of my business."

Feng Lao smiled: "If Brother Ren is not intentional, no matter how much I persuade him, it will be useless." ”

"Elder Ren, then shouldn't you go on?" At the same time, someone boldly urged: "When Mr. Daqian was painting, what did Mr. Shiraishi do by pulling his sleeve?" ”

Suddenly, everyone focused and listened.

"Perhaps, what I have to say, some people may have guessed."

Ren Lao sighed lightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Baishi grabbed Mr. Daqian to remind him that no matter whether it is a large shrimp or a small shrimp, the body only has six sections, and he can't draw more, but he can't draw less." ”

When Mr. Daqian heard this, he looked down and found that the shrimp he painted did not meet such standards. In a hurry, some aquatic plants and water patterns were added to the picture, covering up the shrimp body with an inaccurate number of knots. ”

"After the party, Mr. Daqian returned home. Immediately, he sent someone out to buy a large basket of river shrimp, and poured them all into a large box for careful observation. And grabbed the shrimp one by one and carefully counted the knots, only to find that the shrimp body really only had six knots. ”

At this point, Mr. Daqian's observation of Mr. Shiraishi was meticulous and admired. After that, he returned to Mr. Xu Beihong's house and asked for this picture back, so as to remind himself often that when creating, whether it is landscapes, people, flowers and birds, or animals, insects and fish, we must have a deep observation and experience, and keep it in mind, and then be able to start painting. ”

While speaking, Ren Lao stretched out his hand and carefully took away the pictures and the disguised pieces of paper.

Everyone hurriedly looked at it, only to see that on the complete picture, not only the seals of Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, and Xu Beihong were stamped, but also the inscription of this matter.

Of course, in the text, no details were revealed. If it weren't for Ren Lao telling this secret, even if everyone saw the painting, they only knew the past when Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian joined forces to paint, and I am afraid they would not know the details.

Celebrity anecdotes can often arouse everyone's curiosity.

In fact, everyone has a gossip heart, and Wang Guan is no exception, and couldn't help asking: "Old Ren, how did you know about this matter, did Mr. Zhang Daqian tell you?" ”！！！
