After Lin Yi waited for the two old men to drink tea and smoke, he couldn't help but look at the paper when he turned around, but saw Master Yue Hanyue, known as the "double masterpiece of calligraphy and painting", painting on the snow-white rice paper.

He painted a landscape painting, with mountains, waterfalls, and smoke – and then look at it, a red sun is rising, and the artistic conception is extraordinary.

Lin Yi looked at this painting and always felt a little familiar, at this moment, Master Yue had finished the painting, and it was his turn to write the poem at the end.

But he didn't think twice, changed the brush, moistened the tip of the pen in the inkstone, and then walked the dragon and snake with the pen on his wrist, and wrote: "The sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of the river; The flying stream went straight down to 3,000 feet, and it was suspected that the Milky Way had fallen for nine days. ”

Sure enough, Lin Yixin said, no wonder it was so familiar, but it turned out to be Li Taibai's poem.

There are paintings in the poems, and there are poems in the paintings.

This has always been the highest artistic conception in traditional Chinese poetry and painting. In this respect alone, this painting by Master Yue Hanyue is absolutely impeccable, almost perfect.

However, as an author, especially in front of the two equally respected masters of calligraphy and painting, Mr. Yue still had to be modest, so he smiled and said: "The time is in a hurry, a little insufficient, and I ask the two of you to give me advice." ”

King Jiang and Wang are also veterans of carrying sedan chairs to each other, and when they heard this, they hurriedly laughed and said: "How dare you, whether it is poetry or painting, they have reached the peak, how can you point out." ”

Old Man Yue was happy in his heart, and said: "When it comes to art, if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat, and you still need a lot of practice." Then he turned his head and looked at Lin Yi casually, but saw that Lin Yi was staring at his calligraphy and painting in a daze, as if he was pondering something, so he said casually: "What is your opinion?" ”

Lin Yi didn't expect him to ask himself, so he didn't think twice: "The last two words seem to be a little heavier......"

"What nonsense! What kind of calligraphy do you know, you are talking nonsense here! "Scolding Lin Yi is the old man of Jiangdongjiang, for him, Lin Yi, a young man who has not dried his hair and has not yet grown, is too ignorant, he will open a dyeing workshop if he gives some color, here are all respected art masters, where is it his turn to talk nonsense here. The good impression of Lin Yi's previous humility suddenly disappeared.

Lin Yi scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed, he really blurted out just now, if he hadn't been distracted, he wouldn't have said such a thing. You must know that Lin Yi's principle of being a man and doing things has always been, harmless to humans and animals, harmony and beauty, in a word, hello, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

Seeing that Lin Yi was reprimanded, Wang Zhen, who had a good impression of him, played a round and said, "Young man, it is inevitable that you will not think about it when you speak, Jiang Lao, don't be angry anymore." ”

"I'm not angry, I'm angry-Yue Lao's calligraphy and painting, they are all first-class and good, this kid dares to criticize that the last two words are a little heavier...... Does he know calligraphy? Do you know how to rely on it? Young people, they don't know what will happen to them in the future, if they don't criticize education now. ”

Seeing this, Wang Zhen patted Lin Yi on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Lin Yi, don't take it to heart...... Did you hear it, Jiang Lao is also for your good, you can be forgiven for making mistakes at a young age, and you can correct it in the future, unlike us, when you are a lot older, if you make a mistake, you probably won't even have a chance to correct it, don't you say this is the reason? ”

Lin Yi is also a very smart person, as soon as he heard Wang Zhen's words, he hurriedly got off the donkey and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I have a lot of mouths, hehe, thank you Jiang Lao for your advice, I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

Lin Yi's sleek attitude also made Jiang Dong embarrassed to say anything, but Old Man Yue, who had never spoken much, said: "Okay, it's not too late, let's go back to the room to rest." ”

Hearing what Yue Lao said, Jiang Wang and the others thought that he was angry, and he was giving an eviction order, so they didn't say anything more, so they pulled Lin Yi, a "daredevil", to say goodbye and leave Yue Han's room.

After seeing the three of them leave, Yue Han couldn't help but move his wrist, looking at the last two words of the poem, he couldn't help but be surprised, how did this kid see it, when I wrote the last few strokes, my wrist happened to be sore, and it was inevitable that the pen would be heavier...... Could it be that he is also a man of the Way?

It shouldn't be, looking at his young age, how can he have such a vision.

For the first time, Old Man Yue was full of curiosity about Lin Yi, a child.

……

Lin Yi and Jiang Wang, the two old men, went out of the door, Jiang Dong ignored him, and went directly to his room, to wash and sleep, people are old, and it is inevitable that they will have the habit of going to bed early. As for the old man Wang Zhenwang, he pulled Lin Yi into his room, then turned around and closed the door, all in one go.

Seeing the old man's eyes shining and being so enthusiastic and active, Lin Yi was startled, if it was a beautiful woman who pulled him into the room, it would be reasonable, and it would be terrifying to become an old man.

Just when Lin Yi wondered if Old Man Wang had any special orientation, Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, you kid, you still play yin with me...... Last time I asked you if you knew calligraphy, and you said that you had never learned it, but just now you showed your stuffing, and even pointed out the flaws of Old Man Yue, look at how you kid fooled me. ”

Lin Yi, stupid.

Old man Wang seemed to like Lin Yi's stupid appearance very much, so he actually took two apples, scrubbed and handed him one, and said: "Eat, it's a reward for you, usually the old man's eyes are higher than the top, he thinks he is sorry, no one is a bird, and he keeps asking me to hold his stinky feet, I'm almost annoyed." ”

Lin Yi: "......" is even more stupid.

"Don't stare at me, I'll let you eat apples." Old man Wang took a bite himself, and his mouth was full of foam.

"I know what you're thinking." Old man Wang sat down on the sofa and muttered with an apple in his mouth: "We people, now his grandmother has become bad, the older she gets, the worse she is, the more famous she is...... In the past, I was thinking about how to improve my skills and become famous, so I thought about how to improve my reputation. The more famous you are, the more you cherish it, and you can't tolerate others saying anything bad about you...... You say, is this going crazy? ”

Lin Yi didn't answer, so Old Man Wang took off his shoes again, crossed his legs on the sofa like a kang, and said, "After listening to this, don't you despise me very much?" I also despise myself, but I can't help it, I can't change it, I'm almost sixty years old, how can I change it? Just now in Old Man Yue's room, holding his stinky feet, I almost fainted myself, I really admire that surnamed Jiang, and he has the face to teach you...... Also, he paints and doesn't know calligraphy, so if he can't understand it, we won't talk about him, but he shouldn't reprimand you without asking. He doesn't understand, I understand, Lao Yuetou's strokes are obviously very bad. ”

Seeing Wang Zhen muttering vigorously, Lin Yi didn't walk, he didn't sit, he didn't follow him, he didn't follow the refutation, it was a no-brainer.

Old man Wang chirped, gnawed a few mouthfuls of apples fiercely, like an old naughty boy, swished out the apple seeds that he ate in his mouth, and spit them all into the palm of his hand, and said to Lin Yi: "See, no matter how sweet the apple is, there are bitter seeds, no matter how good the calligraphy and painting are, there are flaws, no one is perfect, you must be able to accept other people's suggestions with an open mind, then you can make further progress." ”

Lin Yi had nothing to say, he could only gnaw on apples, gnaw and gnaw, his ears were not clean, and the old man Wang on the other side sprayed wildly, gushing endlessly, criticizing others for a while, and self-criticism for a while, saying that the atmosphere in the calligraphy and painting industry was not good, it was polluted, and he did everything for money, and he attended more dinners than memorial services all year round. He also said that this traditional skill is about to be lost, and young people can't endure hardships and make up their minds, or they have no talent or perseverance...... It's very profitable to watch this play, but you have to be famous, if you can't be famous, you will be a poor scholar all your life.

Finally, Lin Yi couldn't help it anymore, he didn't understand why Sun Wukong was so afraid of Tang Seng when he watched "Journey to the West" before, but now he understands, sadistic.

Listening to people talk so verbose is really a very sadistic job, so Lin Yi had to interrupt Old Man Wang's words and said, "Old man, you have said so much, what do you want to say?" ”

Wang Zhen said it rightly, but Lin Yi interrupted him, and he looked very unhappy, so he said angrily: "Are you impatient with me?" "Looks like a child.

"No, how could it be." Lin Yi said against his will, "I just want to know the reason-you pulled me in, you didn't just want me to listen to you, right?" ”

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yes."

"No regrets?"

"No regrets."

"Okay, I'll tell you-" The old man dashingly threw the remaining apple cores into the garbage basket, and then looked at Lin Yi with old eyes and said solemnly: "I want to accept you as an apprentice!" ”

"What? Ahem, ahem! Lin Yi almost choked to death on the apple in his mouth. (To be continued.) )
