Act 107 There is a master named Aoyagi
Guan Kunyu straightened his collar and said, "Aoliu." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Aoyagi?"
A group of talents, courtesans, and servants looked at each other, and no one seemed to have heard of the name.
"Do any of you know a famous artist with Aoyagi?"
The crowd shook their heads.
"No, I've never heard of it."
"yes, I've never heard of such a person."
"Indeed, I haven't heard of it."
……
"No, the one who can have this kind of pen power must be a master, there's no reason why we don't know."
"Yes, although I'm not very proficient in painting, I usually like to make friends, and I've never heard of a famous painter named Aoyagi."
"Brother Chen, you are Kun Yu's master, you should know this kind of thing best."
"I ...... I don't know...... Brother Guan, you are Kun Yu's second uncle, you should know best who Kun Yu has befriended on weekdays, right? ”
"I ...... Brother Wang and I live next to each other, both in Taicang, and things at home are really not very clear...... That one...... Brother Xu, you are also the master of my family Kunyu, he has seen you the most recently, you should know best. ”
"I ...... I usually only teach him to read, but I don't know much about painting......"
After talking about it for a while, none of the people in the group understood the situation, and in the end they could only stare at Guan Kunyu together.
The second uncle coughed and said, "Ahem, Derpy, you tell me well, who is Master Aoyagi?" Can you introduce us to us? ”
Guan Kunyu sighed helplessly: "Who said that Aoyagi is a master?" Do you want to find Master Aoyagi, if you want to find Aoyagi, I can take you there. ”
"Not a master?" Everyone was puzzled, "Don't talk nonsense, how can someone who can teach you such painting skills not be called a master?" ”
Guan Kunyu spread his hands and said, "Qingliu is a stallion in my stable, and the horse is incomparable!" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all had a ghostly expression.
The second uncle opened his mouth tremblingly and said, "You mean to say...... The Aoyagi you just mentioned is the Aoyagi of our family!? ”
Guan Kunyu nodded: "Didn't Master Chen teach me charcoal drawing?" I practiced against Aoyagi, never forgetting Master Chen's teachings, and observing every muscle of Aoyagi in detail. Once I was proficient enough, I wondered what it would be like if I could incorporate charcoal into my ink. In order to draw horses well, I practiced with Aoyagi every day, and eventually developed such a drawing skill. ”
Chen Jiru raised his forehead and said: "Wait, that means that the skills used in this painting are not taught by others, but you have figured it out yourself!?" ”
Guan Kunyu nodded as a matter of course.
Although he studied under Xu Beihong, he has been practicing for a long time, and he will always bring something of his own into it. The biggest feature of Guan Kunyu's paintings is realism.
Compared with Xu Beihong's genuine products, Guan Kunyu's horses are more detailed and accurate, but because they are too entangled in accuracy and are not very good at reasonable exaggerated deformation, the momentum is greatly inferior to Master Xu's original work. When Guan Kunyu was asked to evaluate it himself, he felt that it was difficult for his paintings to find a balance between form and spirit.
Guan Kunyu felt that although he was a little sorry for Master Xu, he could be regarded as having some of his own recreation in it, although this recreation was created at a lower level...... But no matter what, it can be regarded as your own thinking, right?
Seeing Guan Kunyu nodding, everyone gasped.
"This ...... This...... This painting ...... Ah, I forgot to ask, dare to ask Guan Gongzi what is the name of this painting? ”
Before, he ignored Guan Kunyu's love, but now he simply changed his words and called him directly.
Guan Kunyu said: "This painting is called "Eight Horses", but unfortunately the boy's calligraphy is not good, so he does not dare to inscribe on it, and he has to bother a few elders." ”
"Eight Horses! Well, haha, it's really the Eight Horses, such a god in the world, our Eight Horses will definitely succeed! ”
"Yes! What a bonus! ”
"However, this painting has not yet been inscribed, and the best calligraphy among us is Brother Wang, Brother Dong and Brother Chen, this ...... Who should write the inscription? ”
That person was naturally talking about Wang Heng, Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru. In fact, Wang Heng's talent is the best among everyone, whether it is Bagu learning or any other knowledge, no one can catch up with him, that is, Xu Guangqi finally has a place to beat Wang Heng after learning Western studies in the future.
But good learning does not mean that calligraphy is good, Wang Heng's calligraphy is indeed good, but compared with Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru, there is an obvious gap, the reason why he and the two are placed alongside and put in the first place is nothing more than because of his talent and life experience.
Fortunately, Wang Heng himself is very self-aware and knows how to advance and retreat, and it can be said that he is a very successful second-generation official, far from being comparable to those who can only cause trouble.
"Hehe, where can my words be compared with Brother Dong and Brother Chen, so let's write the three words "Eight Horses" by Brother Dong, and then Brother Chen will write down the origin of "Eight Horses".
Wang Heng and Wang Dashao have spoken, and others naturally can't say no anymore, so this matter is settled.
When the words were also sealed, and only the framing remained, a new problem arose - this painting was painted by eight horses! In other words, the eight people present should have a share, including the author Guan Kunyu himself, who is considered nine people, but there is only one painting.
So, who should be entrusted with the safekeeping?
If it is an ordinary painting, it will naturally not be so troublesome, but the problem is that Guan Kunyu's painting is so good, it can be said to be the only thing in the Ming Dynasty, no matter who sees it, it will be greedy, even if it is this group of high-quality talents.
Seeing that the scene was a little cold, Guan Kunyu hurriedly said: "Okay, now that the painting is complete, the rest is framing, and I don't know where there is a good framing master, if it is ordinary craftsmanship, it is not worthy of this painting." ”
With Guan Kunyu at the beginning, everyone nodded yes.
Then the remaining problem is much simpler, since the rest of the thing is framing, and framing must be the best, then, who can fight the richest Wang family in this regard? People are properly rich and powerful, and it is not too easy to find a top framing master!
As a result, Guan Kunyu's version of "Eight Horses" fell into the hands of Wang Heng, and Guan Kunyu did not work in vain and got nothing.
When he finished packing his things and leaving, a servant of the Wang family quietly came to Guan Kunyu's side and whispered to him that if he was interested in a career in the future, he Wang Heng could help introduce him to acquaintances!
With Wang Heng's words, Guan Kunyu really feels that it is worth coming back, what people said is already very clear, this is to introduce him to the back door! It just so happens that I want to take the Xiucai test, and with Wang Heng's help, the difficulty will definitely plummet!
In fact, Guan Kunyu didn't know that Wang Heng's so-called introduction of friends did not include low-level things like the three children's trials! If people want to introduce him, they will take out any of them, and they will all be at the level of a provincial official! What kind of small shrimp like the county prefect Wang Heng disdains to use to repay favors!
