61. Today's appropriate: hand over peach blossoms
Zhu Houzhao thought about what to prepare for the city ship division along the way, and the city ship division of the imperial court was in Quanzhou, Fujian, Mingzhou, Zhejiang, and Guangzhou, Guangdong.
Zhu Houzhao thought about going to Yangzhou to take a look at the situation of this post station before going, after all, they were all going south, and they were all on the way. Besides, Emperor Zhu Youzhu of Hongzhi had already allowed him to take a vacation and go out for a few days, so how could he not respect the holy decree!
As soon as he arrived in Yangzhou, Zhu Houzhao said hello to the prefect of Yangzhou, and began to go to the Yahang Post Station by himself, and the result was very gratifying that everything was running very well, with a lot of goods being transported, and people coming and going, it was very busy, like the "Qingming Riverside Map" painted by Zhang Zeduan in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Zhu Houzhao remembered that he had studied Danqing before, although he was not as good as the masters, but the painters who taught him were also among the best, and he was half a master!
In the bustling post station, there is a woman observing this group of people, as if she is out to sketch. However, it is rare for someone not to paint landscapes and market figures.
Zhu Houzhao became interested, and it was only before he walked in that Zhu Houzhao saw the woman's appearance clearly. The face is like white jade, and there is a little blush in the transparency. This shirt is not a skirt that is long enough to mop the floor, but it is worn in a somewhat special way. The material of this dress looks like silk. The white silk rolls with lace, but it matches the temperament.
The skirt is fluttering but does not mop the floor, and it is embroidered with broken flowers. This hair ornament is also a little special, not like everyone's girlfriends, but ties up the long hair. The bangs on the forehead are finely broken, and the sideburns on both sides are just about to hang down to the shoulders. The pair of swaying silver pendants on the ears made a crisp sound, making people feel as if they had fallen into a huge wine vat, and they were also drunk.
There are no red lips on this lip, but there is a sense of nature, and the eyes seem to be a little like Danfeng eyes, but the eyes are bright. A small pointed nose, a pointed chin, a large brush pinned to the waist on the left side, and a few small brushes pinned behind the big brush. It's not like those delicate ladies in the boudoir, who don't look like children of the rivers and lakes. But looking at her top-notch raw materials, the family can't withstand the toss without a few tens of thousands of family wealth. So this also proves that painting is a job done by rich people. It's like these raw materials, which one is not expensive to die for.
Zhu Houzhao walked over, took a look and said, "The girl is so good at painting, is this the scene of the transportation of goods at this post station?" ”
"yes, I couldn't see a group of people gathered here just now!" The woman said.
"Yo, girl, these paints you use are superb!" Zhu Houzhao sighed, "The girl is going to sketch the bottom with ink first, and then color it layer by layer!" ”
Because Zhu Houzhao saw that the painting was almost finished, but these precious pigments were useless!
"Childe is also a person who knows how to paint, painting?" The girl put down her pen and wondered.
"I worshipped a good master, but I learned ambiguously!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
"Oh, I don't know who Childe's master is? What kind of school does the teacher inherit? The Qingli woman asked curiously.
"If you don't say it, I'm afraid you'll lose Master's name!" Then Zhu Houzhao scratched his head and said, "Master's surname is Wen, Wen Zhengming!" ”
"Mr. Wen, we've been lucky enough to meet a few times!" The woman smiled at Zhu Houzhao and said, "If you don't continue to color, you won't be able to reflect the layering of the painting!" ”
"This is the "King of Shell" Tridacnus, this is malachite, this is stone green. These top gemstones and raw materials are ground into pigments, and I am reminded of a person and a painting! Zhu Houzhao said.
"Wang Ximeng's "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains"!" The two of them said in unison.
"Since I'm so close to Childe, why don't we work together to complete this painting?" The woman suggested.
"This ...... All right! "Zhu Houzhao is a little not very confident, although he has learned to paint for a few days, but he is just painting cats and tigers, although he has learned some from those painters in the court, but he is not possessed by Song Huizong, and he doesn't seem to be able to take it.
But these opportunities should not be missed. I had to bite the bullet, although painting is not a serious thing, but it is a necessary skill for a prince, and Zhu Houzhao is no exception.
"I'll grind white." Zhu Houzhao picked up the big shell and knocked off a piece with a hammer, and then smashed it in a container with a stone pestle.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao is very familiar with these top dyeing raw materials, who made him the prince. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao put the ground pigment into a small sieve to sift out impurities, and then put it into a jar.
"You pick a pen that is handy and use it." The woman said.
"Good! Nahongu ...... Son, it's ugly! Zhu Houzhao gently took out a brush from the beauty's waist, and the two really cooperated seamlessly. It's really Li Shangyin's poem that is well written, "There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is a little clear." ”
It's simply amazing, the two of them are in the same step, their breathing rate is the same, and they are not painting anymore. That's love, come on, pretentious, there's a lot of time anyway......
Before you know it, it's getting dark. Liu Jin didn't know how many naps he had, and finally the two of them finished painting. Liu Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, My Royal Highness the Prince, you can be regarded as finished, but you can survive the slave and maid.
"Oh, it's just a painting, it's getting dark!" Zhu Houzhao wondered.
"Childe, since this painting was made by the two of us together. Why don't we split it in half! The beauty suggested.
"It's not good, after all, it was you who painted it first, girl. I'm just giving the girl a hand. "Zhu Houzhao has a different heart, obviously it's good, good!
"So, I'm going to take this painting home today. Tomorrow, Childe will come here and wait for me. I'll give half to my son, okay? "The woman is also a little shy, after all, a woman is a person who pleases herself, let alone a person who makes a painting with herself, and she looks good!
"Good!" Zhu Houzhao agreed, very excited, very excited. At this time, the feeling is, hey, I feel that my life has reached a climax, I feel that my life has reached its peak......
At this time, Liu Jin hurriedly woke up the officials behind him and said, "Don't disturb Your Highness!" ”
"Your Highness, you've had a busy day. We should also go back, if His Royal Highness is tired, let the queen know that she is going to beat the slave board! ”
"Hmmm! Hongu seems to be a little hungry. Go grab a bite to eat and walk back! Zhu Houzhao got into the carriage hired by Liu Jin and returned to his residence in Yangzhou Mansion.
"Well, this roast goose is still good. Bengong felt good...... "Everyone saw that Zhu Houzhao was eating with relish, so they moved their chopsticks."
It's just that everyone is a little curious about where Zhu Houzhao went today. Did you go to the dock to carry your bag, why is it so delicious? It stands to reason that the prince has not eaten anything, and there is nothing left of the plate.
But after painting for a day, I'm really hungry, Zhu Houzhao doesn't have much to eat, and they are all acquaintances here, so he has no scruples.
