readx; On the wall of the exhibition hall in the Portuguese Embassy hangs a large oil painting: Herzhe, who is the same size as himself, is wearing a tiger skin skirt and thick black hair with braids around his neck, hiding behind a towering tree, calmly opening his bow and arrows, aiming at a roaring black bear. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info[Burning ^ Wen ^ Library] Her round and toned shoulders are exposed, and the texture of her skin is clearly depicted; On it stands a white dove, lifelike, as if about to flutter its wings and fly out of the painting.

"Too much like, too much like that!" The crowd was amazed, and Herzhe exclaimed for joy, "Look, everyone's portrait has it!" ”

Only then did everyone realize that from Queen Ruier to the four sisters, everyone's image was on the painting. Except for Rui'er's portrait, which is a dignified portrait, the other paintings are all rich imagination of the artist, and the scene of the protagonist doing something is outlined with extremely delicate brushstrokes. For example, Bao Yulian is consulting a patient; Qi Meifeng is riding a horse and a gun to gallop on the battlefield; Zhu Cunqi was holding the account book in his hand and frowning silently; Chen Yuanyuan is playing the violin; The red lady is walking the rope... And so on and so forth.

The biggest difference between oil painting techniques and the "freehand" of Chinese painting is "realism". These paintings brought everyone to life, even the subtle details such as the corners of the eyes and eyebrows, and everyone couldn't help but be amazed: there is such a miracle in this world!

After admiring it for a long time, the women remembered to ask, "Who made these paintings?" All of us are in the painting, why didn't we have Banzai, and Princess Anna and Tyulena? ”

"These are all painted by Miss Li Xiangjun!" Anna said with admiration in her eyes, "I really didn't expect that Miss Li is a painting genius!" After she stayed in the embassy, she saw some of the oil paintings I had brought with her, and became very interested, and asked several missionaries who knew how to paint to teach her oil painting techniques. I don't want to even be half a year old, Miss Li's painting level has improved rapidly, and the level has surpassed those missionaries! And she has an amazing memory, no matter who she is, as long as she has seen it, she can draw it into the painting, and it is no different from herself. However, she did not paint for His Majesty the Emperor, she said that she was afraid that the painting would not be good and disrespectful, and second, she always felt that only one painting could not depict His Majesty's unique temperament, so she did not dare to write. ”

"Good guy, how ugly I have to be, I'm so scared that Miss Xiangjun doesn't dare to draw!" Zhu Youzhen joked, "Then why don't big beauties like Princess Anna and Qiu Lina, and Miss Xiangjun not paint?" ”

"The painting is a painting, but it can't be seen by His Majesty the Emperor." Anna's face suddenly turned red.

Everyone was puzzled, and Qiu Lina also added with a red face: "The two of us are models for Miss Li." ”

The women still didn't understand what they meant, but Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized that anyone who studied oil painting must start with mannequins. And the mannequin is definitely **, Anna and Tyulina certainly can't put their ** portrait out for themselves to admire. Thinking of this, he also blushed slightly, and quickly changed the topic: "Where is Miss Xiangjun?" ”

"Long live the people's daughter Li Xiangjun, knock to see all the mothers!"

Zhu Youzhen turned around in astonishment, only to see that Li Xiangjun had fallen in front of him. I haven't seen her for a few months, and this loyal woman who used to stain her blood-stained peach blossom fan is still so beautiful and refined, but she seems to be even thinner, which makes people feel distressed.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly picked up Li Xiangjun with both hands, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he was silent for a moment before he smiled: "I didn't expect Miss Xiangjun to be so talented in oil painting." ”

"Carving insect skills, just talking about self-entertainment, can't be elegant, let long live and all the ladies laugh." Li Xiangjun's tone was very calm, so calm that it even seemed to have a hint of sadness.

Zhu Youzhen's heart moved, shook his head and smiled: "Otherwise." Art works are not just sketches for the literati to entertain themselves, nor are they just commodities to be sold at a price, but also can improve self-cultivation, cultivate affection, explore the beauty of the world, and make life full of vitality. Even for ordinary people, learning and appreciating art can also exercise observation, imagination and creativity, which is very beneficial to work and life.

"I have always had the idea of establishing a national art academy by private people, in addition to teaching traditional Chinese painting, calligraphy, sculpture, architecture, and crafts, I can also learn the art techniques of all countries in the world, so that a hundred flowers can bloom, so that my Ming Dynasty will become the center of world art exchange. Since she regained her freedom, Miss Xiangjun has been living in the Portuguese Embassy, and she has finally ended up. If you are interested, it is better to be helped by Yuanyuan, how about you become the dean of this Academy of Fine Arts? ”

Li Xiangjun listened carefully, and her beautiful eyes gradually glowed, and she murmured: "Long live, Xiangjun... Can you really do something that big? ”

"What's not to do, women can hold up half the sky." Zhu Youzhen joked.

The two of them suddenly found a topic and were about to discuss the matter in depth, when Rui'er came over and said with a smile: "Princess Anna's banquet has already been prepared, Banzai and the sisters should come to the table as soon as possible and talk about it in detail at the banquet." ”

Zhu Youzhen then remembered that today's protagonist was Princess Anna, so he couldn't be rude, so he hurriedly led the women back to the banquet hall and sat down in turn at a European-style court table several feet long. At this time, it was almost dusk, and a row of candlesticks was placed on the table, and the candles flickered, illuminating the faces of a group of beautiful women, which was really romantic.

As the hostess, Anna raised her golden wine glass and toasted: "His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Empress, Your Excellency the Imperial Princess, and distinguished guests: you are holding in your hands the golden wine glass treasured by the Portuguese royal family. More than 500 years ago, when my great ancestor Alfonso I led the Portuguese people to victory over the Moors, he drank the wine of victory in this set of golden wine glasses. The wine in the glass is a 30-year-old wine from one of Porto's most prestigious wineries, with a sweet and crisp aftertaste. Please raise your glasses and drink together, I wish His Majesty the Emperor good health, and may the friendship between China and Portugal last as long as this golden wine glass and fine wine! ”

In the face of Anna's enthusiastic toast, everyone raised their glasses and drank it all regardless of whether they could drink or not. Wine is of course sweeter than white wine, and the alcohol content is lower, especially suitable for women, all the women are full of praise, and Zhu Youzhen can't help but drink a few more glasses.

At this time, the explosion of fireworks and the cheers of the crowd were already heard outside, thinking that the fireworks show had begun. Rui'er also stood up and raised her glass and smiled: "We salute Princess Anna and wish Her Royal Highness the princess eternal youth and beauty!" ”

"I wish you all young and beautiful!" Anna drank it all excitedly. Everyone also raised their glasses frequently, and the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, but Zhu Youzhen's consciousness gradually blurred...
