Chapter 5 A Simple Version of "Explaining Words and Characters"
A jade ruyi, a red coral, and a painting.
Needless to say, jade ruyi and red coral or something, they must be very precious, but what really interested Li Yuanjia was the painting given by the crown prince Li Chengqian - a picture of Confucius disciples by Dai Kui of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!
"Dai Kui? Big guy! ”
After looking around this painting for half an hour, Li Yuanjia showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Whether it's genuine or not, he can't tell.
Although he has shown a lot of talent in calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and he has been insisting on practicing pen in the past few years, after all, his mind is no longer on this, and his progress is really limited. Especially when Li Yuanjia "created" in addition to Yuanjiati, that is, Song Ti, Li Shimin even felt hopeless about his aesthetics.
But the name Dai Kui, Li Yuanjia has heard of it.
Of course, I didn't hear about it in my previous life, after all, for the painters of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty only knew one Gu Kaizhi, who was a super god in the history of Chinese painting.
But since he has learned painting in this life, it is impossible for Li Yuanjia not to know Dai Kui.
During the Wei and Jin dynasties, China's calligraphy and painting art reached a peak, among which the representatives of calligraphy were the two kings, that is, Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, and the representatives of painting art were Gu Kaizhi and Dai Kui, which can be regarded as the standard-bearers in the circle!
So after reading this "Confucius Disciple Picture", Li Yuanjia felt very comfortable: "If it can be preserved a thousand years later, will this thing have the same status as "Luo Shen Futu" and "Female History Zhentu"?" Even if you can't reach it, it should be a top national treasure, right? ”
Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia's heart moved: "Do you want to collect roll call paintings or something in the future?" There were many famous paintings in the Wei and Jin dynasties, but unfortunately most of them should have been lost later, especially Gu Kaizhi's paintings...... What a pity! And it seems that there are many famous painters in the Tang Dynasty, such as Yan Liben's paintings, do you want to go back and ask for a few more collections? ”
The famous Yan Liben is now a waiter in the Criminal Department, a craftsman and a young prisoner.
Speaking of which, he was also born in a noble family, his grandfather was Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong, his father was Yan Bi, the former young eunuch of the Sui Dynasty, and his mother was the princess of the Qing Dynasty of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his background was prominent. If you have to talk about it, in fact, Li Yuanjia's maternal uncle Yu Wenshi still has a little bit of a relationship with Yan Liben.
Yuwen Shi and his ancestors were Huns, Xing Po Yetou, and also the servants of the Yuwen family, and was later given the surname Yuwen. Therefore, if you strictly trace it back, the ancestors of Li Yuanjia's maternal uncle should be the servants of the ancestors of Yan Liben's maternal uncle's family, or slaves......
Just last year, Yan Liben was ordered to go with his brother Yan Lide to make the six horses of Zhaoling.
Li Yuanjia is not very familiar with one of the most famous painters of the Tang Dynasty, or it should be said that he is not very familiar with all the officials of the Tang Dynasty, but since he has the titles of King Han and Yongzhou Mu, it should not be difficult to find this big man to ask for a painting or something. The only thing that makes Li Yuanjia entangled is whether he wants to collect these things.
"King, the people from Fangfu are here."
Just when Li Yuanjia was desperately recalling whether another Tang painter, Wu Daozi, had already been born, the housekeeper Han Shan walked in and said respectfully.
"Fangfu? What are they doing here? ”
After listening to Han Shan's words, Li Yuanjia was slightly stunned.
Fang Xuanling followed the emperor to Luoyang, and the old and young in the family naturally followed, leaving an old man to stay in Chang'an to take care of the family, so suddenly hearing that someone from Fang Mansion was naturally stunned.
"Back to the king, it was Fang Xianggong who wrote a letter from Luoyang."
"Oh."
Hearing Han Shan say this, Li Yuanjia suddenly became famous.
Waving his hand to let Han Shan bring people in, the man from the house held the letter in both hands after saluting, and said respectfully: "The king, the prime minister ordered me to send some gifts to congratulate the king on his housewarming." ”
"Hehe, there is a labor house to worry about."
After smiling slightly and saying a polite word, Li Yuanjia opened Fang Xuanling's letter.
The letter is not long, only two pages.
The main thing is to congratulate Han Wangfu on moving to the house, and at the same time say a few words about the wedding of the two families next year, so after reading it, Li Yuanjia immediately ordered someone to prepare a letter and wrote a reply to Fang Xuanling on the spot. With the end of the filial piety period and the consolidation of Li Shimin's throne, he now has a lot less scruples about this normal interaction with Fang Xuanling.
After handing over the letter to the little guy from Fang Fu and asking Han Shan to prepare some return gifts, Li Yuanjia sent them away.
There are not many people who are happy to move to a new home and send people to congratulate them.
In addition to his nephew Li Chengqian, who stayed in Chang'an, Li Yuanjia's uncle Yu Wenshi and his future father-in-law Fang Xuanling, that is, there are only a few people such as Shi Yangsu, the governor of Yongzhou. But for Li Yuanjia, in fact, this is also the best result, because from the time he moves into this new and big terrible house, until Li Shimin returns from Luoyang in February next year, he has three or four months to do what he wants.
This matter, of course, is not about preparing for a wedding.
In fact, the wedding between King Han and Miss Fang Fu is naturally handled by the royal family and the Fang Fu, and even Han Shan is just cooperating, Li Yuanjia doesn't need to pay attention to anything at all. And the affairs of Yongzhou are also managed by Yang Su's gang, even if Li Yuanjia, the Yongzhou pastor, wants to do it for a lifetime, he will definitely not interfere in political affairs for a day.
He didn't care what his other brothers did, anyway, he wanted to be an idle prince, or put his energy and time in something more interesting, such as ......
"In the next period of time, I'm going to make a small font library!"
After calling Chen Qian, Huang Licheng, Li Zhong and Ma Liang, Li Yuanjia said calmly: "This workload is relatively large, so I need the four of you to assist me in doing it together." Of course, you usually have time to do it, and you can't delay your serious business. ”
After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, the four of them looked at each other, and finally Chen Qian frowned and said, "King, may I ask what ......this font is?"
"Ziyo!"
After taking a slow sip of tea, Li Yuanjia smiled and said: "If you have to give an example, it should be something like "Shuo Wen Jie Zi". ”
“……”
The air in the whole room was instantly quiet.
Li Zhong and Ma Liang, the two young stewards, are nothing, to put it bluntly, they just studied with Chen Qian for two years and learned Indian numerals, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and they don't know much about "Shuowen Jie Zi" or anything. But after Chen Qian and Huang Licheng listened to Li Yuanjia's words, their four eyes immediately bulged out like frogs, and at the same time showed a shocked expression!
"Saying Words and Interpreting Words"?
"Goo-dong!"
After swallowing hard and spitting, Chen Qian took a deep breath and asked, "Wang, you, what you just said was ...... "Shuo Wen Jie Zi"? ”
"That's right, "Saying Wen Jie Zi"!"
Nodding, Li Yuanjia continued to smile and said: "But it should be a simple version of "Shuowen Jie Zi", as long as it includes the hundreds of words that are most commonly used in ordinary books, so it won't be so difficult......"
