Act 37 The wood is burned in the face, and the life is not long
"Painter Qian, tell me what's going on, what's wrong with this painting?"
After the old lady's words were asked, everyone looked at Qian Zhixu in unison, waiting for him to give an explanation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qian Zhixu glared at Guan Kunyu viciously, and then pointed to the painting and said.
"Everyone, please look at the nose of the old lady in this painting, and carefully look at the carbon ash rubbed on the nose. I want to ask this Guan Junhu, why do you still paint the old lady's nose with ash? What does this mean? ”
Guan Kunyu frowned and said: "There is light and darkness under the sun, the sun is bright, and the shade is dark, and the place where I wipe the ash is the place where the nose is shady, to show the difference between light and dark, is there anything wrong with this?" ”
The painters nodded their heads, feeling that what Guan Kunyu said was reasonable.
"yes, that's how it should be drawn."
"If there is no light and shade, it will not be a child's graffiti."
"Qian Zhixu is still messing around, we usually have to divide the portrait into light and dark, but it's just not as important as Guan Painter, what's wrong with that?"
"That's right, I really can't afford to lose this money."
"It's obviously a good painting, but he has to pick a bone in the egg."
"yes, yes."
……
Qian Zhixu didn't seem to hear the discussion of the painters behind him, he still stared at Guan Kunyu and continued to ask.
"There is a degree of light and shade, this is the principle of painting, and it is naturally infallible."
Master Wu was also angry, and slapped the table heavily: "Since there is no mistake, then what is the nonsense you just talked about!?" ”
Qian Zhixu smiled madly and said: "There is nothing wrong with light and dark, but this shape is ill-intentioned, let's see if the shape of this nose after wiping ash is like a flame." ”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and reacted randomly - it was really a bit similar.
Guan Kunyu also nodded involuntarily, if it wasn't for Qian Zhixu to bring it up, he really didn't notice that there was really a faint flame on his nose after shading.
Of course, it's just a shape, if you say it's like a flame, it's really a bit like, if you don't say it, I'm afraid no one will associate it with that, and now with the hint of money, everyone subconsciously thinks that the shape is really a flame.
An old painter beside Master Wu said strangely: "Can ...... What's wrong with that? ”
Qian Zhixu sneered: "How can there be no problem!?" This is deliberately trying to curse the old lady to death! ”
"Huh!?"
"What!?
"This is the curse of the old lady's death!?"
"What's going on? Who's going to tell me what's going on? I didn't get it. ”
"yes, I don't understand either, does this have anything to do with the curse?"
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Qian Zhixu said loudly: "Let's look again, the old lady is here, the eyebrows are horizontal, the nose is vertical, and the two laugh lines under the cheeks are a wooden word!" The fire burns on the wood, the wood is exhausted and the fire is vigorous, I once heard a saying in the countryside, the fire burns the wood in the face, and the life of a person is not long! Isn't this a curse on the old lady!? ”
"The wood is burned in the face, and the life of a person will not be long......"
Old Man Wu chewed on this sentence, and his face became darker and darker.
This sentence has actually never been heard of by Master Wu, but in this era, the information is not spread smoothly, ten miles are different, and the customs are different for ten miles, and it is not surprising that Qian Zhixu knows that he does not know the folk sayings, even if there are two contradictory statements.
Just like in modern times, some places can't do happy events during the day, otherwise it will be unlucky! There are also places where someone dies and firecrackers need to be set off at the place where the accident happened! If these are moved elsewhere, they are likely to cause misunderstandings.
And right now in the Ming Dynasty, people's general thinking is that they would rather believe it than not, so there is no need to mention the taste in Master Wu's heart.
It's obviously a birthday banquet for the old lady, how could such a thing pop up!
Although he doubted whether Qian Zhixu's words were true, he must not come forward to question it from his son's standpoint, otherwise once it was spread by someone with a heart, even if Qian Zhixu was nonsense, his reputation would be damaged, and an unfilial name would be almost deducted!
Therefore, he can't speak for Guan Kunyu, and keeping silent right now is already the limit of what he can do.
Everyone was silent for a while, and everyone was in the same state of mind, preferring to believe it rather than believe it.
If you speak out against it at this time, even if the old lady is okay in the end, it will leave a pimple in people's hearts, and you can't help but feel that you don't care about the old lady, you dare to question such a big thing, is it because it is not your wife who is in trouble, you are talking nonsense!?
If in the end, the old lady really got sick because of something else, or even really went, then the problem would be even greater! Guan Kunyu's painting cursed people and was the culprit! And what was your intention in questioning it at that time? This is the rhythm of big things!
Therefore, at this time, no one is willing to open up no matter how much they doubt Qian Zhixu's words.
After all, even Confucius said that we should stay away from ghosts and gods, no matter how far away we are, there will still be reverence after all, and no one wants to say more in this case.
Appreciating the attitude of the people present, Qian Zhixu was very satisfied with this effect, looking at Guan Kunyu's gaze was like looking at a dead man!
"Hehe, the portrait curses the master's family to die, if this incident gets out, your life will be over! Even honest stuttering is wishful thinking! It's not in vain that I've gone to great lengths to come up with such a curse!
But this is not fun, I will provoke it later, and let the Wu family directly break his dog's leg and throw it out! Well, that's how enjoyable it is, a dead dog with a broken leg, this is the most suitable for lowly military households!
Dare to fight me, boy, you know the end! ”
Guan Kunyu was very surprised, he didn't expect Qian Zhixu to use this kind of jade burning trick against him!
He didn't believe the nonsense of Qian Zhixu just now, what "the fire in the face burns the wood, and the human life will not be long" is simply what he stubbornly pulled up!
But even if it is nonsense, in the late Ming Dynasty, in this general environment where it is better to believe that it is not credible, the martial arts family must not ignore it, so Guan Kunyu must be in a catastrophe this time.
But when Guan Kunyu is finished, can others be okay?
First of all, the martial family, this kind of thing happened at the old lady's birthday banquet, they are not expected to be angrier than Guan Kunyu, but they are definitely more aggrieved than Guan Kunyu.
The second is other painters, after such a trouble, Master Wu is still in the mood to continue to evaluate the painting, so this group of people can definitely be said to be running for nothing, with the standard of living at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is not easy to go out of this trip, they are also a group of unlucky children.
Finally, it's Qian Zhixu himself.
The people present are not all fools and idiots, and many people will not be deceived by money at all, but they can't interfere because of the social atmosphere and lack of sufficient evidence. But not being able to interfere now does not mean that it cannot be discussed in the future, after this incident, as soon as it spreads through the mouths of these people, it will be hellish that his reputation for money can be good.
Therefore, Qian Zhixu's move is clearly a seven-wound punch that hurts others and hurts himself!
Therefore, Guan Kunyu was also angry.
"You look at a dead dog like that...... It's really unpleasant. I can understand that the bear child is messing around, who hasn't experienced this age? I didn't mean to bother with you at all, but if you go too far and cause trouble for others, then you have to teach you a lesson. What do you think...... Is it really good to play like this at someone else's birthday party? ”
Guan Kunyu's voice was very soft, only he and Qian Zhixu could hear it clearly, but Qian Zhixu didn't care about this, his voice was very loud.
"The military kid wants to fight me! I Qian Zhixu said that I wouldn't lose to a stinky military household! ”
Guan Kunyu shrugged his shoulders and said aloud in a voice that everyone could hear: "Painter Qian just said that if the wood is burned in the face, the life will not be long...... Right? ”
"That's right!"
"Okay, then I have something to ask."
