Lin Ye's statement simply coincided with what Xiao Mu had thought before, which also made Xiao Mu feel for the first time that there would be a tacit understanding between himself and Lin Ye. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before leaving Lin Yi's dormitory, Xiao Mu expressed his high appreciation for her opinion, and promised that he would start implementing it immediately tomorrow, after all, designing a card or something is much easier than dealing with political affairs or reading, and Xiao Mu is happy to do it. So the conversation between the two ended peacefully and happily - although the "golden finger" had just been exposed.

Xiao Mu felt that Lin Yi would definitely be able to sleep well tonight, and at the same time decided in his heart to call Wang Chengen early tomorrow morning and leave the matter of increasing the "traitor card" to him.

However, Xiao Mu was simply thinking too much, and the next morning, as soon as Xiao Mu opened his eyes, he found that Wang Chengen was already waiting by his side, and he didn't need to call it himself.

When Wang Chengen was waiting for Xiao Mu to freshen up, Xiao Mu opened his mouth and said to him: "I intend to add four 'traitor cards' to the cards. ”

"The slave and maid understand, but which ministers are to be drawn on this 'traitorous card'? Does the emperor have a favorite portrait? Wang Chengen asked carefully.

"Well, I really haven't thought about it, but since it's a 'traitor card', it doesn't seem appropriate to use the original portrait in the history books, and it's easy to be confused with the 'celebrity card', I think I should use some more special portraits, preferably the kind that people can remember at a glance." Xiao Mu listened to Wang Chengen's words, and analyzed it by himself, isn't Qian Qianyi a titan in the literary and artistic world? Drawing a picture shouldn't be a problem for him, right?

Finally, he symbolically asked Wang Chengen's opinion: "What do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, it should indeed be so." On this kind of issue, of course, whatever the emperor says, Wang Chengen agreed with Xiao Mu's words with both hands and feet without surprise.

"Well, you still go and find Qian Qianyi in a while, anyway, you have to continue to listen to him today, it is better to let him draw the portrait together." Xiao Mu quickly made a decision and instructed Wang Chengen to speak.

"The slave obeys." After Wang Chengen waited for Xiao Mu to finish dressing, he went to invite Qian Qianyi.

didn't let Xiao Mu wait long, Wang Chengen came with Qian Qianyi.

"Minister Qian Qianyi, knock on the emperor, long live my emperor."

Under normal circumstances, when this kind of minister kneels down to see him, Xiao Mu asks people to hurry up, after all, he is from the next generation, and the idea of equality has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is still a little difficult for Xiao Mu to be bowed down by others.

However, this time Xiao Mu did not immediately say goodbye to Qian Qianyi, looking at Qian Qianyi, who was a talent, Xiao Mu couldn't help but think of the allusions that Lin Yi said to him last night that "the water is too cold" and "the head is too itchy", this huge contrast in image and behavior made Xiao Mu a little distracted.

It wasn't until Qian Qianyi finished a full set of gifts that Xiao Mu reacted, signaled him to hurry up, and then said his idea of calling him to come - in addition to the storytelling, there was also the matter of painting the "traitorous card".

"Minister, may I ask the emperor, what is the 'traitor card'?" After Qian Qianyi listened to Xiao Mu's words, he asked.

After hearing Qian Qianyi's question, Xiao Mu remembered that the card had not yet been known to the civil officials.

"Well, it was I who decided to re-paint the traitors in history who were servile and brought disaster to the country and the people, to warn the courtiers. I had no choice but to paint mediocre, so I asked Qian Aiqing to write. Xiao Mu's answer sounded very "modest", but in fact, he still put gold on his face, after all, Xiao Mu had no painting at all, and it was already very face-saving to describe it as mediocre painting.

"I understand." Qian Qianyi listened to Xiao Mu's answer and understood what was going on, and then began to be "modest", "It's just that the minister's painters are really clumsy, especially in terms of portraits, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this big task." ”

"Aiqing is too modest...... Xiao Mu naturally heard that Qian Qianyi was just being humble, as a standard literati, to do things, of course, you must be humble first. Therefore, Xiao Mu didn't take Qian Qianyi's "clumsy" seriously at all, and expressed in his words, "I chose to let you paint, so you don't have to be humble anymore".

Immediately, Xiao Mu asked Wang Chengen to prepare the four treasures of the study, and signaled Qian Qianyi to start painting.

Seeing that the emperor's meaning was very clear, Qian Qianyi also felt that he was almost modest, so he picked up the pen "respectfully rather than obeying his fate" and prepared to start painting.

"I don't know what the emperor wants to talk to?" Qian Qianyi asked.

"Well, let's draw a Qin Hui first." This person's choice Xiao Mu simply blurted out.

"Obey." got the emperor's answer, so Qian Qianyi picked up the pen and began to draw, and Xiao Mu of course watched with great interest.

In Xiao Mu's view, Qian Qianyi's painting level is quite high, and he shuttles back and forth on the paper with his pen, gradually sketching a human figure. In fact, Xiao Mu doesn't know anything about drawing with a brush, even if it is Lin Yi who is painting now instead of Qian Qianyi, it is estimated that Xiao Mu will also feel very powerful when he looks at it from the side.

Qian Qianyi painted for a long time, and finally drew a rough outline of Qin Hui, and when he was thinking about continuing to polish, Xiao Mu opened his mouth and put forward his opinion:

"If Qian Aiqing paints like this, it is no different from ordinary portraits, and I feel that such portraits are not enough to arouse the reflection of the ministers."

If it wasn't the emperor who was talking at this time, but an ordinary young man who was pointing fingers at himself here, Qian Qianyi would definitely just pick and don't do it, and if he didn't directly say "The pen is for you, you will draw", such words are already very self-contained.

But now it is precisely the current emperor who gives him advice, Qian Qianyi is naturally humbly taught, "The minister's painting is rough, and painting like this is really a negative holy will, and the shortcomings are also asked to show the emperor." ”

"Qian Aiqing's painting is naturally very exquisite, far beyond my requirements. What I mean is that since he is a traitor, some places can naturally be exaggerated, and there is no need to paint exactly the way it is. Xiao Mu was afraid that Qian Qianyi still didn't fully understand his statement, so he added, "All in all, you must draw the essence of his treachery, so that people can see his treacherous nature at a glance." ”

Xiao Mu's words have been said very clearly, and Qian Qianyi has fully understood: In short, how to draw if you don't look like a good person!

"I understand." Qian Qianyi replied.

But Xiao Mu was still a little uneasy, and emphasized the importance of exaggeration to Qian Qianyi, in order to give Qian Qianyi one or two examples, Xiao Mu even took the pen himself, drew some stick figures in children's books in later generations, and comics and other things he had read, and successfully wasted a piece of paper.

Qian Qianyi saw Xiao Mu's "masterpiece", and was naturally shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the painting could be painted like this, although Xiao Mu's demonstration was very amateurish, but it still helped Qian Qianyi open a door to a new world......

So after Xiao Mu's "click", Qian Qianyi picked up the pen again, and under the gaze of Xiao Mu and Wang Chengen, he drew an unprecedented portrait of Qin Hui, and even Qian Qianyi, who painted this portrait, couldn't believe that this was just painted by himself.

"Well, that's a good drawing, that's exactly what I wanted." Xiao Mu looked at Qian Qianyi's work, even a three-year-old child could see that the painting was not a good person, and he was very satisfied, and his face was full of happy smiles.

This made Qian Qianyi even more worried, "In the future, if my colleagues in the DPRK and China know that I painted this painting, I don't know what they will think of me?" While thinking about it, Qian Qianyi couldn't help sweating.

Satisfied, Xiao Mu saw the beads of sweat on Qian Qianyi's forehead, and thought that it was caused by him painting too seriously, so he hurriedly ordered Wang Chengen to serve tea to Qian Qianyi, let him take a break quickly, and then paint the remaining three portraits.

Qian Qianyi hurriedly thanked him, took the tea brought by Wang Chengen, and drank it regardless of whether it was hot or not.

……

Although Xiao Mu called Qian Qianyi in the name of asking him to give him a lecture, but on the morning of the third day of the sixth month of the first year of Chongzhen, Qian Qianyi was painting, and Xiao Mu had been watching from the sidelines, and he had not read a book at all.

Finally, this "unprofessional" morning passed, Qian Qianyi also finished painting the last painting, Xiao Mu put the painting away with satisfaction, and encouraged "Aiqing hard", and let Qian Qianyi go back to rest.

"By the way, I decided to take out these portraits for the ministers to observe in a few days, and Qian Aiqing should not mention them to others for the time being, so as not to affect the effect of the warning." Xiao Mu finally instructed again.

"I understand." Qian Qianyi agreed, and then withdrew from the hall with Wang Chengen.

"If these paintings really spread, within a few years, everyone will think that they look like this, right? In the future, if any of the courtiers does something foolish, and suffers a loss in the big festival, and is painted like this, it will be a hundred times worse than death. Qian Qianyi was still very nervous when he left, after all, he personally ruined the reputation of four famous people in history today, and it was very completely ruined.

Wang Chengen sent Qian Qianyi out, and Xiao Mu in the main hall looked at the portrait of the combination of classical and modern in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I didn't expect Qian Qianyi's painting attainments to be so high and his comprehension ability to be so strong." Should such paintings be counted as the Ming version of the 'Neoclassical School' or the 'Abstract and Hazy School'? I found Qian Qianyi to paint today, which can be regarded as an indirect contribution to Chinese classical art, and I will definitely leave a name in history in the future, right? ”

After laughing at himself, Xiao Mu thought seriously: "And, the most important thing is that painting these portraits with my own hands today is also a great wake-up call for Qian Qianyi himself, right?" ”

If Wang Chengen came back at this time, he would definitely find that Xiao Mu's expression was very serious at this time.
