Chapter 130: Looking West

"Copper sulfate pentahydrate?"

"Ah, it's also called blue alum, it's very suitable to be used as a blue pigment, Chinese painting...... That is, the watercolor we usually use, and there are also many colors that are blended with blue alum as the base material. It's just that I don't know where to sell this thing, and it's not easy to find it for a while. Chu Feng explained.

Huizong pondered for a moment and said: "According to your statement, whether it is ink and watercolor or this so-called oil painting, although the paint seems to be very different, the most basic background color is almost the same?" ”

"That's true." Chu Feng nodded, "Either it is extracted from plants, or the mineral is making a fuss, these things are very similar." In fact, sometimes it is interesting to think about it, although it is a place 108,000 miles apart, and even the race is very different, but everyone's desire for art is almost the same. There's painting, there's music, there's poetry......"

"Oh? Do the people over there also have poetry? Hearing this, Huizong thought it was funny, interrupted Chu Feng's words, and said with a smile, "But I'm afraid they don't have any plain reason, haha, occasionally when messengers come, I have also heard them speak, and I don't know what they are talking about." Do you make poetry in their language? I'm afraid it won't sound good, ha, I'm afraid I can't even rhyme! ”

Chu Feng smiled and said, "That's not true. ”

"Oh?" Huizong raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him.

Chu Feng smiled, recalled the movie "Shakespeare's Love History" he had watched, and took a very famous passage from it, and recited it: "Shall Icomparetheetoasummer\'sday?

Thouartmorelovelyandmoretemperate.

RoughwindsdoshakethedarlingbudsofMay,

Andsummer\'sleasehathalltooshortadate.“

As soon as Chu Feng spoke, Huizong and Master Li couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and glanced at each other, both of them seeing surprise and surprise in each other's eyes.

"Western poetry is also very rhythmic, this is called 'sonnets', and the various rhythms and the like are also very particular, but I don't know much about it." Chu Feng smiled and said, "If it is translated, the gist of those few sentences is that can you be compared to the bright summer day?" but you are lovelier and warmer than the hot summer; The wind ravages the May flowers, and summer leaves without pause...... Oh, that's probably what it means, but when translated like this, a lot of artistic conceptions don't exist. ”

"Chu Langjun is really amazing, how can he even understand these things!" Master Li couldn't help but admire.

"I don't know much either, but I only listen to some occasionally. On the surface, it may seem like a great thing, but in reality, that's all I know, and if you dig deeper, you'll find that I can't pour a single drop of water. Chu Feng spread his hands and said with a smile.

"Chu Lang is humble." Huizong only thought it was interesting, and after a little reminiscence of the sentence that had just been circulated, he sighed in admiration before asking, "Speaking of which, Chu Lang, do you know that Bang language?" ”

Chu Feng hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "No, there is only such a little bit of ink, and it has all been stirred up by you." The Westerner who had lived in my hometown had come from a long way from the surrounding countries. In other words, he passed through many countries and city-states along the way before finally coming to us. So the language he speaks is also used in very distant countries, and the surrounding countries are all using some Tibetan and Khitan languages, and the words of Dashi are Persian, and the ones that go there are probably Arabic, and the kind I just said is called English, and the gap between them and those languages is still a bit big. “

Master Li was a little stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it for a while. She asked puzzledly, "Chu Lang, do you mean that there are many other countries outside of our Great Song Dynasty?" “

Huizong was naturally curious about this question. But at this time, Huizong frowned slightly, and looked at Chu Feng's eyes as he waited for his answer narrowed slightly, with a bit of scrutiny and scrutiny.

Seeing this, Chu Feng immediately understood Huizong's mood. The Central Plains has been regarded as a **** country since ancient times, if you tell the ruler of this country, don't do any daydreaming, except for your country, the world is big, and so on, it will definitely cause the ruler to be unhappy.

"Yes, there is, but ......" Chu Feng secretly glanced at Huizong's expression, and then said with a smile, "Most of them are places with small countries and widows, and naturally there is no place that can be comparable to my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Chu Feng was just an ordinary person who was slightly appreciated by Huizong, if he raised his arms and shouted in front of the emperor at this time, he tried in vain to raise his hand to wake up this confused emperor and save the Song Dynasty, which was about to collapse...... This kind of thing may be very bloody and magnificent, but the probability of success is almost zero. The most likely outcome was just Huizong's fierce glance at Bai Chufeng, and then he regarded the young man in front of him as a fool who heard and believed that it was true, and then gradually moved away from him and no longer received him.

This kind of ending is naturally not what Chu Feng is looking forward to.

"I am the upper kingdom of China, and since the rule of Yao Shun has lasted to the present, of course, it cannot be compared with other small tribes and the like." Sure enough, Huizong said lightly, "As for the Westerner that Chu Lang just said, in my opinion, that guy's words are probably a little exaggerated, Chu Lang is young and easy to trust others, just listen to this kind of story, you don't need to believe it." ”

When Chu Feng heard this, he felt funny in his heart, and it was naturally difficult to refute it on his face, so he had to respond.

"But no matter what, it seems that Chu Lang also has a talent for language, and now the court lacks such talents, so that every time he negotiates with foreign countries, many things are inevitably tied and not happy enough. If Chu Lang can learn Khitan or something like that, then ...... Ha ha! Look at me, I'm a little confused too! Chu Lang is a painting student of the painting academy, and the exchange of foreign countries is a matter of the Ministry of Rites, and there is no need to say much about the eight poles that can't be beaten in one place. Huizong said halfway, and couldn't help but laugh.

Chu Feng listened, but he couldn't help but pay some attention in his heart, feeling that this was also a reminder to himself. In the future, if you can't stop the grand wheel of history, the Jin people will come over sooner or later, and if you can understand some Jurchen language, you can always come in handy......

Although such an escape idea is not very spineless, in such an era, it is much wiser than inexplicably blocking the tip of the knife, after all, it is a gentleman who does not stand under the dangerous wall.

Besides, no matter how majestic the Jin people are in the future, there will be Mongols to clean him up later, although the Mongols have occupied the Central Plains for several years, they will eventually return to the grasslands in the north to be accompanied by the blue sky and sheep.

In this place of the Central Plains, it is the so-called you sing and I will appear, feng shui takes turns, and there are really not many things that a small person like himself can do.

"These pigment things...... Cough! Chu Lang, are you listening? ”

Huizong's voice came into his ears, and Chu Feng hurriedly came back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts and asked Huizong to forgive him.

"Nothing." Huizong waved his hand casually, took the oil painting made by Chu Feng and tried it out, dipped it in those paints and sketched a few strokes, and said, "This kind of paint is somewhat interesting, and it is oily, so the requirements for paper are also different from ordinary drawing paper." The color difference before and after drying and wetting is also larger than that of ordinary pigments, which may require a period of adaptation. The toning seems to be pretty good, the pigments blend easily with each other, it's just that the speed at which they dry is ...... Oh, it seems that the speed of each color is not the same? ”

When Chu Feng heard this, he couldn't help but scratch his head, and said with a smile: "The noble man is really as wise as a torch, and each thing that extracts pigments is different, so the speed of air drying is indeed a lot worse." I've been working on this stuff lately, but ...... Hey. ”

Seeing this, Huizong naturally understood what Chu Feng was going to say later, so he raised his hand and pressed it down, and said with a smile: "You don't need any pressure, I'll just talk about it casually and let you get it out and play, and there are no major issues related to life and death, so don't worry." You're not in this area after all, so it's going to be harder to delve into it...... In this way, there has always been a special color grading at the art academy, and I will see if I can catch anyone another day, and let them help you get it together. Ordinary ink and watercolor are important, but such eye-opening innovations should not be delayed. Ha! That's it. ”

Chu Feng said in his heart, aren't you a public weapon for private use! So he smiled and responded righteously.

After chatting about some things again, Chu Feng used the paint at hand to paint an oil painting sketch, and left first while it was still early in the night.

After Huizong watched Chu Feng leave respectfully, he called Ma Gonggong to speak.

"What about the marriage contract, you told him?" Huizong asked, "Does he have any indications?" “

Ma Gonggong replied with a smile: "I said it a long time ago, but Chu Langjun is not frivolous in doing things, so he didn't say anything." Just asked the reason a little tentatively, and the old slave naturally didn't reveal more. ”

Huizong nodded and sighed slightly: "Hey! Giving birth to such a pampered daughter is really a headache for me as a father. It's not good to like someone, you have to like a guy who has a marriage contract. Although Chu Lang is indeed good, but his background, if he really became a concubine master......"

Seeing Huizong's embarrassed face, Gonggong Ma hurriedly smiled and comforted: "If it is according to the old slave, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. Her Royal Highness the Princess, it seems that she has been a little relieved lately......"

"Oh?" Huizong raised an eyebrow. (To be continued.) )
