Chapter 891: Jade Dragon Gallery (1)

Yun'er's painting art can no longer be compared to perfection, but a stroke of genius. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIn a small space, draw a few simple strokes, a few strokes, and put the expression on the paper. For example, two birds on a branch, a basket of grapes, a young bamboo pole, two bamboo chickens, a water bottle and a lotus, as well as a few prawns, two goldfish, and one or two lines of poetry, ...... look at it poetic. The hearts of the paintings in the same album are all uniformly sized paintings. Uniform borders. The inside of the cover is a thin layer of sponge......

The first freehand flower and bird album appeared in Yun'er's cousin Zhou Minghe's jade dragon paper shop, and was seen and bought by the literati students who patrolled the painting shops in Liulichang. The price is determined by their "auction". Because everyone wants to buy it in their own hands, only whoever pays more money will own it. Yun'er's price was fifty taels of silver, and the result was five hundred taels for everyone. Shopkeeper Zhou also felt that it was too much, just a picture album. However, the old gentleman who bought this painting said: Only such paintings are collectible. He had never seen the dew on the lotus leaves that seemed to roll, nor the peonies covered with snow, nor the delicate bindings.

The person who ordered the "Feiyun Mansion Owner" album was scheduled to pick up the painting in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the following year, and the price given by Yun'er was three hundred taels, which was already very high. Making money is the purpose of doing business, but you can't kill your conscience for the sake of making money. Yun'er's album is already very fine, in order not to owe others, there is a delicate box on the outside of the album, and the box is tied with a ribbon with a bow, which will protect the album from defacement and insect damage.

Participating in the production of the album are six framing masters: Yu'er, Shui'er, Ling Juan, Lan'er, Hui'er, and Jing'er. Each of them was given a hardcover album, and the master said, leave a memory.

Emperor Kangxi also had a freehand flower and bird album of his little aunt in his hand. He couldn't bear to take it with his hands, because the album made for him was a bright yellow brocade cover, and the color was relatively tender, and Kangxi was afraid that it would get dirty. The pictures inside are all vegetables and fruits, including grapes, loquats, lychees, dates, oranges, eggplants, radish, cabbage, peppers, etc., using the technique of freehand processing brushes, and there are one or two butterflies, or bees, ladybugs and other small insects on the picture, which makes the picture full of vitality.

Yun'er just painted, and the album was completed by Yu'er and a few sisters.

On the huge canvas in Yun'er's room, there is a piece of plywood with a layer of dark purple velvet paper on it. Yun'er is instructing Yu'er, Shui'er and Lan'er to use carbon paper to trace the characters they wrote from the outer edge, and the inner strokes are also traced and traced onto the blow molding paper, and then the strokes printed on the blow molding paper are cut out and arranged on the velvet paper by herself according to the calligraphy method. Draw the shape with sharpened white chalk and dip it in milky white glue to stick firmly. Then the plywood glued to the velvet cardboard was nailed to the wooden frame measured in advance, and the velvet cardboard was inlaid with a beautiful fishback-shaped wooden thread, and stood up, which stunned Mrs. Zhou Yu'er, and exclaimed for a long time: "My God! How did you come up with it? ā€

"It's a good thing to learn in a foreign land, not my idea. I saw it in a bookstore in an exotic place. Can you set a price for me? ā€

Zhang Hanshui, the wife of Sanpin, said loudly: "You can remember that it is already great when you come back from school." If you want to say that the price cannot be less than one thousand taels. ā€

"You're going to rob?"

Dingguo Gongtian Liang came in and said, "I'm here to rob." Yes, the form is novel, the Qing Dynasty is the only one, a thousand taels is no problem, is it finished? ā€

"Grandpa Guo, wait a minute, little sister will check again, but there are no mistakes or omissions. Disgrace to the prince. "I watched it twice and didn't see anything wrong.

Tian Liang waved his hand: "Come on, carry me away!" ā€

"When did you become acute?"

"This is not changed, it is inherited from our mother." Tian Liang has also become a sharp brother. After the four guards carried the velvet calligraphy easel away, Tian Liang asked, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, do you have any new ideas?" Need help for your brother? ā€

"Yes, yes! Princess Ben is thinking of creating a wheat straw painting and shell carving painting, and she needs a lot of wheat straw and shells. There is no need for Grandpa Zhang Luo to buy shells, little sister, I have already bought some from a foreign land, and the wheat straw still needs you to bother to prepare, it is just an experiment, and whether it can succeed depends on the will of God. ā€

"Hey, my subordinates obey."

The room erupted in laughter.

As soon as Yun'er's velvet paper paintings were placed on the easel of the Jade Dragon Gallery, someone began to auction them.

"I'll pay eight hundred taels, is there anyone who has more than me, and if I don't have it, will I pay the silver?"

"Who are you? Eight hundred taels want to buy this calligraphy that shocked the Qing Dynasty? I'll give a thousand taels! ā€

"Who are you? A thousand taels are too embarrassed to say it? See the seal? This is the new work of the owner of Feiyun Building, I will give 1,300 taels! Nothing higher? Someone, carry me back to the house. ā€

"Wait! You said you carried it back to the house and carried it back? Know who I am? I don't know? I'll give 1,500 taels and carry it away! This is a very plump bun-faced boy wearing a brocade embroidered robe, took out a silver ticket of 1,500 taels from his arms, and slapped it to Xuan'er who was sitting next to the velvet paper painting: "Lord Xuan, I will accept it." ā€

Xuan'er hurriedly stuffed the silver ticket back: "This benevolent brother, it seems that the word 'concession' doesn't mean that, right?" I'm a seller of velvet paintings, didn't I let you win? I'm selling it for money, so I won't give it away for nothing, right? ā€

"The prince is polite, can you take a closer look at whether the amount of the silver ticket is accurate? No problem? Then in the next place, please go home to the masterpiece of stunning beauty. "The silver ticket is stuffed again.

"Wait! What are you talking about? Why does this king sound like he's having fun? We're in business, don't say something without oil and salt, okay? ā€

"Why did Your Excellency protect the Feiyun Mansion Master so much? Distressed? Ben Gongzi has long heard that she is a stunning beauty. ā€

One next to him interjected: "Are you brain-dead?" The owner of Feiyun Mansion is the wife of Lord Xuan, don't you know? How have you survived all these years? ā€

"The owner of Feiyun Mansion is the wife of the Chitose Lord? No way! This is a man's name, how can it be your wife? ā€

Everyone laughed one after another, and just now they said that it was a masterpiece of a beautiful woman, and after a while, they became men. This guy is really brain-dead. I don't know how the term "brain-dead" was popularized, and it has become a fashionable term in the Qing Dynasty and high society. ā€

"You're brain-dead!" Confronting Baozi Gongzi was a tall and thin boy like a bamboo pole, pointing to Baozigongzi's nose and saying, "Since you know Xuan Wangye, don't kowtow when you meet?" ā€

"Are you invited? It's the first time I've seen such a stunning calligraphy, and I want to ask you to go back to my father to admire. If you don't buy it, you're still messing up? Move! ā€

"Oh hehehe! Shao Gongzi is very honest, and he dares to tell such a secret as his father. ā€

"You're only two dads, and you've got eight dads!"

"You said it yourself, take it back to your father to admire, do you still have a wild father?"

"Bastard! See if I don't beat you down! ā€

"Okay, okay, don't make senseless disputes, buy or not to talk happily?"

"Didn't I give you the silver ticket?"

"You're not wrong to say you're brain-dead, right? You give me this silver ticket for fifty taels, when this king is easy to bully? This king is making money for the emperor, you give a blank piece of paper and say that it is 50,000 taels, and I will take it and admit that it is 50,000 taels? ā€

"What's going on? It's obviously 1,500 taels, but how did it become 50 taels? ā€

"Do you mean that the king has blackmailed you? There are so many witnesses here, and you want to stuff the silver ticket into the arms of this king, and this king pushes it away, who do you say is going to blackmail? ā€

"Hey, I remembered, I spent the night in 'Yulou Chun' last night, it must have been taken away by that little Yulou, I'll go find her."

Everyone laughed.

"Want to slip away? Not that easy?! Pretend to be stupid with this king, come here, take it away, and send it to the Ministry of Punishment! ā€

"My mother, be merciful to your old man! Yesterday I drank too much, and I slept until dawn, and I didn't even notice that the silver ticket had been changed. Why don't you go down to Yulouchun with the prince? ā€

"You're brain-dead when I do? My paintings haven't been sold yet, I'm not going anywhere, who wants to buy them? Besides, is this king the one you shouted at and shouted at the past? ā€

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Rajah

"Lord Xuan, give 1,800 taels below, you can make a move. I really like this unprecedented calligraphy and painting. ā€

"I see that your attitude is not bad, a thousand taels have been sold to you, silver tickets! Carry it away. ā€

The boy of the bun quit: "I said that the prince is a thousand years old, and you won't sell it if you give you 1,500 taels, and you will sell it at a price of 1,000 taels for that kid?" Isn't this bullying? ā€

"When did you give me fifteen hundred taels? Just now, you used fifty taels to bluff this king, and this king hasn't settled accounts with you, and I bullied you? You can't bully me if you want to, right? Someone, tie me up. ā€

As soon as the bun boy heard this, he ran away.

"Hey, your fifty taels for this king?"

Bun Boy turned back, grabbed the silver ticket, and disappeared faster than he could in a bunny shoe. This person is really shameless. He thought that Lord Xuan's attention was on these people to raise the price, and he would not pay more attention to the amount on the silver ticket, and wanted to be sloppy and pick up a bargain. How did he know that Lord Xuan's eyes were good, just a sweep of the fifty-two characters on it. But Xuan'er will not really send the buns to the Criminal Department, there is no fraud fact, and he still has to be forgiving and forgiving. I don't want to make too many enemies, so many people know that Xuan Wangye has a good temper and is popular. But if anyone wants to bully him, he will also punish him.

"Lord Xuan, is this painting of yours still sold?" A man in red asked.

"Sell it, a thousand taels, give it to the silver ticket when you see it, and then help you send it to the house."

"I bought it under it, it's a thousand taels, you look at it."

"Well, the real one thousand taels, this painting is Your Excellency's, come on, send this son back to the house. Be careful not to break the painting on the road. ā€

"Huh!"

The four royal soldiers were responsible for delivering the paintings, and they were carefully carried to the carriage on the palace, two of them were supporting, and two of them were in charge. The man in red also got into the car, and he was only responsible for guiding the way.

As soon as the person who sent the painting left, someone came to buy the painting again: "I heard that a new big painting is a huge line of grass by the owner of Feiyun Building, what about the painting?" ā€

Zhou Minghe, the shopkeeper of the paper shop and painting shop, said with a smile: "This guest officer is late, and the paintings have already been sold." ā€

"Sold? So fast? Ben Gongzi didn't appreciate it, so he sold it? I heard that it is a new calligraphy work of the owner of Feiyun Building, and it was sold before I saw it, isn't it a pity? I heard that it is a line of grass, such as flowing clouds, chic and handsome, and the feeling of protruding from the paper? It is said that the owner of Feiyun Mansion is a Danqing master who is good at peonies, and his calligraphy is so good. I don't know when I'll see it. ā€

Someone said, "Brother Ren, why can't you even speak?" Do you want to see the words of the owner of Feiyun Tower, or do you want to see him himself? ā€

"Naturally, I want to see it."

Xuan'er said: "You don't need to see people, right? If you really want to buy it, there will be a new work in a few days. ā€

"This brother, what do you mean, do you know the owner of Feiyun Building? I want to be a person who can call the shots. If there is still that kind of calligraphy and painting, it will be 1,500 taels under it. ā€

"No, a thousand taels is enough."

"You are so strange, you take the initiative to give 1,500 taels, but you only need 1,000, do you think you can't afford it? Or is the word of the owner of Feiyun Mansion only worth a thousand taels? "This one is even more brain-dead.

"Brother Ren misunderstood. According to my mother's painting and calligraphy skills, how can each work cost 1,500 taels? However, my mother once taught that 'enough is enough', and she sold it for a thousand taels. ā€

"Mother-in-law? Are you Lord Xuan? Disrespectful and disrespectful, thundering, please say hello to the prince! The prince is auspicious, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old! ā€

"Brother Lei can't be so polite, hurry up. If Brother Lei really likes his mother's words, there will be a work on the shelves in a few days. ā€

"Excellent, excellent, pay the deposit in the next place."

"It's not necessary, Brother Lei hasn't seen his mother's painting yet, if he is not satisfied, how can he be good?"

"Then you can see the painting and make a decision. I don't know if the prince can appreciate his face, and I want to invite the prince to the Queen Mother's restaurant for a drink and talk? ā€

"It's not that this king doesn't appreciate his face, this king still has to inspect the shops, another day, change the king of Japan to entertain."

"No, no, how can you let the prince break the bank? Or ......"

"Seeing that you are a cheerful person, you don't have to excuse yourself, right? The Queen Mother's Restaurant is also the king's business, and if it is empty another day, I must go to the appointment? ā€

A young man who had been by Xuan'er's side immediately laughed loudly after Lei left: "Brother Xuan is really good at fooling people, and he can't even decide a specific time to invite someone to drink?" ā€

"Third brother, did you ever think that Brother Lei really invited this king to a banquet?"

The third brother was naturally Kangxi, and said with a smile: "He really invites him, who doesn't want to befriend the prodigy prince." ā€

"How old is this king, and he is still a prodigy. People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, ......"

Kangxi laughed.

Xuan'er often inspects the business of the two prefectures, not only to learn more about the operation of the shops, but also to understand the business operation mode of the Qing Dynasty, and to meet friends from all walks of life, and to make good connections.

For Xuan'er's personality, Kangxi is very familiar with and understandable. Purity of heart is his background, humor and optimism are his character, and intelligence and wisdom are his characteristics. Kangxi has always liked Xuan'er's cousin.

Uncle Huang and Brother Xuan are the most important and respected people in Kangxi's heart. Since he was a child, this father and son have been sheltering him, and sometimes he thinks, if this country lets Brother Xuan sit, is it better than himself? But why are their father and son not interested in the dragon chair? That dragon chair is already in the bag and at your fingertips, how can it be so calm?

Soon after Yun'er's second velvet calligraphy was bought by the son surnamed Lei for a high price of 1,000 taels of silver, the business of ordering the calligraphy of the "Feiyun Mansion Master" also began to be ordered. Of course, ordering calligraphy does not hinder Yun'er's paintings. "Radish and cabbage, each has its own love", there are those who like painting and those who like calligraphy, so Yun'er's calligraphy was also an instant hit in the capital, and it appeared in such a beautiful way. So the orders in Tian Liang's hand suddenly increased, and at the speed of one copy in five days, they were immediately carried away from the house to the Yulong Paper Store, all at the price of one thousand taels. Yun'er also wrote calligraphy works in the form of pure calligraphy, such as banners, middle halls, strip screens, bucket squares, fans, tile couplets, and colored papers, which were framed by the framers in the house and exhibited in the Jade Dragon Gallery. There are also Yun'er's paintings of peonies, Xuan'er's paintings of galloping horses, tiger roars, Rui'er's paintings of ladies and Mr. Landscape paintings. People who come here to see the paintings have donated their money to buy them and collect them at home.

Yun'er's paintings are not only freehand flowers and birds, but also fine-brush flowers and birds, as well as decorative paintings, gouache paintings, oil paintings, paper-cuts, cartoon paintings, cloth stickers and other paintings.
