Chapter 23 Tablet Delivery
Li Tang colored the "Lying Cow Picture" again, and finally inscribed it and stamped it with a vermilion seal. The work is complete.
Today is really a rare time to meet the confidant in the painting, and you gave me another engraving, which has benefited me a lot. I've just finished this "Lying Cow" for you. ’
Li Yibai pretended to be polite and said, "This is too precious." ’
Li Tang smiled, "I'm very happy to be able to give it to my confidant, if you don't accept it, I won't be happy." ’
Li Yibai agreed.
Li Tang is a man of temperament, and suddenly Yaxing became angry and wanted to take Li Yibai to the West Lake to sketch. The doorman put the drawing board on the side of the West Lake, and Li Yibai stood aside to watch Li Tang freehand.
The scenery of West Lake is truly beautiful. In the distance, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, the pagoda and the reflection of Hanshan Temple are integrated, and the lake is sparkling and smoky, as if this is a beautiful scenery in heaven.
Li Tang wanted to paint a picture of the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, the main body of which was the mountain of Hanshan Temple and the water surface of the West Lake. While he was painting earnestly, suddenly there was a rumbling thunder in the distance.
The doorman said, 'Sir, it's going to rain.' Let's go back. ’
It's going to rain in the distance, and the weather is really changeable this summer, and the sky is still blue and white, and the dark clouds in the distance are about to come in the blink of an eye.
Li Tang was Yaxing, 'Yibai, you look at the dark clouds in the distance and the scenery of the West Lake, how beautiful it would be if they were painted together. I'm going to draw it. ’
Li Yibai said, "It's to be painted, it's so beautiful." ’
The doorman shouted anxiously, 'Master, when this heavy rain comes, the drawing paper will be wet, and you will not be able to continue drawing.' Let's go home and put it. ’
What the doorman said made sense, but Li Tang was really unwilling. 'What a pity. You can't copy this beauty. I want to remember this scene and paint it when I get home. ’
At this time, Li Yibai took out his tablet and took a few photos of the scenery in the distance.
Li Tang saw the wooden plank-like thing that Li Yibai took out, but he didn't know what it was, and he also felt strange about him doing this action.
But by this time, the rain was already pouring down like beans. The three of them hurried home.
Xiaoqing and Gou Yu also sheltered from the rain under the eaves of Li Tang's house.
Li Tang saw it and shouted, 'Hua'an, quickly help the guests pull the carriage into the stable.' I also have to take care of the two guests who came with Ichibai to the room. ’
Li Yibai and Li Tang returned to the hall.
Li Tang held the paintbrush and wanted to draw the picture just now with his memory. Li Yibai is such a smart person, he saw Li Tang's thoughts.
Li Yibai took out his tablet and opened the photo he had just taken. 'Sir, look? ’
Li Tang was taken aback when he saw the photo of West Lake in the tablet, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't close it.
"This, the scenery just now was actually collected by you here. It's amazing. This thing has a fairy aura. ’
Li Yibai slid a few more times and showed several photos he had just taken, from different angles.
That's great. I didn't remember any of these images just now. Now I can draw them all. Ha ha. Li Tang said and began to draw with a hard hand.
Due to the inspiration, the painting was completed quickly, but only in a third of the hour. Li Tang mentioned the name of "The Beautiful View of the West Lake".
"This "Beautiful View of the West Lake" is thanks to you. Otherwise I wouldn't have done it so well. What is your immortal thing called? Li Tang asked excitedly.
Li Yibai explained carefully, "This thing is called a tablet. A computer is a tool that has the function of memory and calculation. For example, it is a truth with the abacus. At the same time, he was able to digitize photos of the scenery through an aperture lens and then display them digitally. ’
Li Tang asked curiously, "Can you teach me how to use it?" ’
Tablets are inherently easy to operate, just a few clicks. Under Li Yibai's teaching, Li Tang quickly learned how to take pictures and view photos.
It's a great thing. Where did you get this thing, it's like an artifact of the gods in the sky. ’
Li Yibai said, "This was brought from the United States. The United States is on the east side of the sea, far, far away. Only special big ships can arrive, and I've been trading with big ships that can reach the United States for many years, so I got two of them. ’
When Li Tang heard the two, he couldn't bear it in his heart. From the moment he first saw the magic of tablets, he loved them so much that he dreamed that he would have one. But thinking about how amazing this thing is, it must be very precious. If Li Yibai only has one, how can he be embarrassed to win people's love.
But now Li Yibai said that there are two, and Li Tang wants one.
But Li Tang is also a person who has been influenced by Confucianism for a long time, and he always feels embarrassed when he asks others for things. I'm still embarrassed. In this case, it is often thought that it would be good if the other party took the initiative to send it.
That's a good thing. Li Tang's eyes were firmly fixed on the tablet, and it was no longer easy to speak.
What a smart person Li Yibai is, he can see Li Tang's thoughts. 'Sir, you often have to go out sketching, and if you have a tablet that would be handy, I'll give you this one.' I still have one anyway. ’
How embarrassing is that. Li Tang said that he was embarrassed, but his hand was unconsciously placed on the tablet.
In the end, I still held the tablet in my hand. 'A white. You're welcome. Thank you so much. Li Tang pointed to the scrolls of calligraphy and painting in the porcelain vase over there. As a token of gratitude, you can take whatever you want with the paintings here. ’
'Oh, Sir was so polite to me, I didn't give him something to change the painting. Li Yibai said politely deliberately.
Li Tang also understands the preciousness of this tablet, but he can only use paintings to express his gratitude.
'Yibai, I know you're not here to change the painting, but you should take it. I can't take your stuff for nothing. ’
Li Yibai deliberately shirked again, "I don't want it." I have already received a painting from Mr. just now. Sir, don't push me. ’
Li Tang saw that Li Yibai was so stubborn, and he was moved. Xindao, it is really a privilege to meet a friend like Li Yibai with high morals and like-mindedness. So he took Li Yibai's hand and said.
'Yibai, don't call me sir anymore. Didn't I just say that you and I are called friends? You just call me by my name, or if you don't dislike it, call me Brother Li. ’
Li Yibai was overjoyed when he heard this. This Li Tang is a scholar and a celebrity, and he is also a big celebrity around Song Huizong. It is a great thing for Li Tang to owe himself a favor. And his character is also very good, which is even more rare. In the future, if he asks him to help, he will really help. A lot can be done through this relationship with him.
As for not taking those paintings, it doesn't matter at all, with this feeling in the future, there are more opportunities to buy Li Tang's paintings. There's no need to struggle with this $300 tablet.
This is like a sentence that Du Yuesheng said, money is of little use, but love is inexhaustible.
Li Yibai hurriedly shouted, 'Brother Li. I'm going to learn more from you. ’
Li Tang was overjoyed, "Yibai, in the future, you can come to my house as you like, you can come whenever you want, and I will personally teach you to paint." ’
Li Yibai also gave Li Tang a few power banks, and told him how to use the tablet to save power and how to charge it. These batteries, he thought, will last about half a year.
At that moment, Li Tang asked his subordinates to prepare wine and food, leaving Li Yibai to drink at home. Li Tang was happy, drank two bottles of wine at once, and fell drunk. It wasn't until this that Li Yibai was let go back.
When Hua An saw Li Yibai away, he said, "Mr. Li is really amazing, it's the first time I've seen the master so happy, the master never leaves guests to eat at home, today is the first time." ’
On the road, in the carriage. Li Yibai held the "Lying Cow" in his hand, and his face was full of smiles.
Xiao Qing said, "It must be very precious for the young master to get this painting today." ’
There will be more in the future. Li Yibai said to the dog left, "Let's go to the Xue Jiade antique shop in Liulichang first." ’
'Yes. Master. When the dog finished speaking, there was a whip sound.
arrived at the door of Xue Jiade's store, Li Yibai took Xiaoqing out of the car.
Xue Jiade saw Li Yibai coming, and thought in his heart, he wouldn't be here to trouble me, blame the agarwood last time it was expensive.
'Boss Xue, do you still have Li Tang's paintings here? Li Yibai asked straight to the point.
He still wants to buy Li Tang's paintings? But I'm out of stock. He seemed to be able to see the imitation. Xue Jiade's eyes rolled slyly for a moment before he said,
'I don't have it, Mr. Li. ’
I've got one here. I'd like you to give me an estimate. Li Yibai said lightly, but he didn't take it out.
He was able to get Li Tang's paintings so quickly, he could really brag. I don't know how hard it took to get my hands on that "Fish Hidden Picture". He can get it in just two or three days? Xue Jiade did not believe that Li Yibai had paintings.
'Li Gongzi, you must have bought a fake. In fact, the antique industry is not easy to mix, and you can buy fakes if you are not careful. I advised Li Gongzi to leave this business. The average person really can't afford to play. ’
Li Yibai asked Xiaoqing to take out the painting and hand it to Xue Jiade. 'Help me see. It's a fake, and I'll give it to you. ’
Xue Jiade unfolded the "Lying Cow Picture". This is a newly painted work, and some of the brush and ink have not yet dried.
Yes. He really got the real thing about Mr. Li Tang. This Li Gongzi is really not simple, unfathomable. Xue Jiade nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
'Admire under it. Li Gongzi's Taoism is much higher than mine. This is indeed the real thing. The price should be in the area of 1,000 taels of silver. ’
In fact, this price was deliberately underestimated by Xue Jiade, and Li Yibai also knew his cunning.
