The daylight flicked by outside the window, and the flower shadow sat forward during the banquet. A cup of sheng song is not sent, and the next step is the time. ”

- "Water Margin: Part II"

How Xiao Ting and Xu Qing apologized humbly and shamelessly, and how Mr. Wen Duan and Chu Feng laughed and said that they had a misunderstanding, naturally there is no need to delve into it. It's just a gap between the tongue, and the problem that can be cleared up in a few words naturally has no point in getting to the end.

Although it was ridiculous, Chu Feng couldn't help but think in his heart that if he was in that situation, he might not be able to do such a thing. Although the words "have the courage to admit mistakes" seem like advice to children, there are not many people who can do it if you really think about it. Among them, the word "brave" is really not a power that ordinary people can have.

"Wan Yan, if the old man remembers correctly, do you also have to take the exam of the Jinke Painting Academy?"

At the end of the conversation between the four of them, Mr. Wen Duan suddenly remembered this stubble.

"Yes, it's hard for Uncle Lu to remember such a trivial matter." Xiao Tinghe smiled and scratched his head, "Uncle Lu knows, I can't study, I can only study a little bit on Danqing." But the foundation is still the same, the family is strict to force the test, so I will try hard, it is unlikely that I will really win the first place......"

"You don't have to be too humble about it. I also saw your paintings in the early years, and they are quite popular...... My apprentice Chu Feng, although he is learning to edit with me, is also going to try to be admitted to the painting academy this year, and the two of you can also communicate and communicate with each other. ”

When Xiao Ting heard this, his heart couldn't help but feel tight again. But in front of the elders, they had to respond.

The four of them talked for a while, and Mr. Wen Duan asked if the address of Xiao Ting's home had changed. Said that he would visit the door another day. Where did Xiao Ting dare to hold on, and respectfully asked where Mr. Wen Duan was staying now. He said that he would tell his father immediately when he went back. So they asked each other carefully, and then they said goodbye and dispersed.

"Wan Yan, this kid has a bigger temperament, but the essence is still very good. He has been studying under the painter of Taixue, and he should be in the context of courtyard painting, and it should be beneficial for you to discuss with him. ”

After the two left, Mr. Wen Duan instructed Chu Feng: "In this Tokyo city, I am not afraid that you will offend people at will. With your temperament, I'm afraid you won't make a mistake move. It's good to have a war-free card on your head. But then again, you also have a disadvantage, that is, it may be much more difficult to become famous. What the world likes is elegant and charming, and it is best to have ups and downs. It can be seen that the intoxication is intoxicated. In Hangzhou before, your fame gradually rose up by relying on the recommendation of Liu Zhengqing and adults, but in places like Tokyo, it is much more difficult. ”

Chu Feng listened. Naturally, he understood this truth, but he was still a little puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Sir, I have to ask." It is difficult to become an exam for the art academy. Do you still have to choose according to the candidate's reputation among the people? ”

Mr. Wen Duan smiled and said, "Although it is not true, it is unlikely to say that there is no half-point relationship." ”

The old gentleman shook his head. continued: "The examination of the art academy is different from the ordinary imperial examination, and it is not vague. So...... Naturally, you understand that there is such a thing as painting. It's hard to tell whether it's good or bad. Once the level of a painting becomes chaotic, the criterion that can really be judged will naturally become the reputation of the painter...... In other words, after all, the art academy is a royal art academy, and it also hopes to be able to recruit talents from all over the world. If people who are famous in the world can't get in, public opinion in the world will be difficult to settle. “

"......I see," Chu Feng nodded, but couldn't help but smile, "But sir, what you said is very right, in this regard, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to become a climate." ”

Mr. Wen Duan smiled slightly: "Naturally, the matter of raising a name cannot be rushed for a while, and it is okay to slowly figure it out." ”

……

……

The two returned home from the night market, knocked on the door, and Lao Zhang hurriedly came to greet them.

"Mr. Cheng is still painting in the house, and it seems that he will not sleep until the morning. Ah Lang, do you want to sleep with some more supper?" Lao Zhang asked with a smile.

"No, I'll just wash up a bit. Chu Lang, it's convenient for you to go!" Mr. Wen Duan said with a smile, "You have to go to the Fan family's calligraphy and painting shop early tomorrow morning, and you will take office on the first day, so don't be late." ”

Because of various reasons on the road, Fan Chengcheng, the owner of Fan's calligraphy and painting shop, that is, Fan Qiubai's father, promised Chu Feng the position of worship in a shop.

The obvious meaning of this position is that Fan Cheng knows Chu Feng's ability in calligraphy and painting, and wants to rely on the help store. And secretly there is naturally some flattery to Mr. Wen Duan and Mr. Cheng Yuan, of course, there is no need to say more.

If a job is sent to the door, Chu Feng naturally has nothing to accept, let alone working in Fan's calligraphy and painting shop. Even if it is a branch like Hangzhou City, Chu Feng has also seen a lot of famous masterpieces in it, what kind of collection will be in the hands of the head office in Tokyo City, that is really what Chu Feng wants to see.

"By the way, Chu Langjun, I almost forgot to say it. In the afternoon, the Fan family sent a letter to you, saying that it was for Chu Langjun, probably because you didn't know where we were now, so you sent it to Fan's calligraphy and painting store first. I see it's from Hangzhou City, and it's been put in Chu Langjun's room. Lao Zhang said again.

Chu Feng thanked him when he heard this, said good night to Mr. Wen Duan, and returned to his room by himself.

Now where they live is a two-entry courtyard. I heard that in the early years, it was the property of Mr. Wenduan, and he was idle after he was no longer an official in Beijing. It is not subleased, but occasionally someone in the family comes to the capital to run errands or passes by, and they will rest in this courtyard.

Two courtyards for five people can be regarded as spacious.

Mr. Wen Duan lived in the master bedroom, Mr. Cheng Yuan lived in the west wing, Chu Feng lived in the east wing, and Lao Zhang and Xiao Liuzi slept in a room in the outer courtyard.

Chu Feng walked into the inner courtyard, only to see that the light was really on in the room of the west wing, and Xiao Liuzi was sitting on the steps at the door of the west chamber with his head propped up, and he was playing with something on the steps with the light that seeped out of the window. Seeing Chu Feng walk in, Xiao Liuzi was startled. Hurriedly put the thing away, and stared at him like a thief with a pair of eyes.

The vague Chu Feng didn't see it clearly. But he thought it seemed to be a pamphlet or something, so he grinned. Walk forward: "What baby?" Let me see it too? ”

"Don't give it!" Xiao Liuzi's eyes were round, and his expression was like a cat protecting food. It's just that for some reason, even in this dim light, his face gradually turned blushing.

Chu Feng was amused in his heart, got up and said matter-of-factly: "At a young age, you actually fell in love with things that are not suitable for children?" Tsk, although Confucius has a saying, you are too young at this age......"

"It's not spring and palace!" Xiao Liuzi couldn't help but burst out. But he suddenly realized that his voice was too loud, so he hurriedly stopped his mouth.

Lao Zhang brought hot water into the courtyard and went to Mr. Wenduan's room to get it.

There were a few light coughs in Mr. Cheng Yuan's house, and the night wind was leisurely, blowing the half-open window lightly, making a low sound.

Xiao Liuzi made a big red face, secretly stuffed the booklet deep into his arms, and got up to help Brother Zhang carry hot water.

"Haha!" Chu Feng smiled and stopped teasing him. Turn around and go back to your room.

He couldn't help but think in his heart, the time he had come to this era was not short, but he had never seen real spring and palace paintings. In this regard, Chu Feng didn't know much about it. But he did know that many of the paintings were passed on to future generations by fame. For example, "The Secret Drama of the Spring Festival" and 36 paintings of Zhao Ziang...... Although later generations have long since lost sight of these paintings, according to some historical records, I am afraid that it is not only quite interesting. The artistic attainments are probably also amazing.

One of the great differences between Oriental painting and the West is the attitude towards the human body. It is impossible for the Eastern ideology of etiquette and religion to allow nudity and body painting to ascend to the hall of elegance. And throughout the history of art in the West, whether it is paintings or sculptures. The depiction and depiction of the human body is an extremely important part. Especially in Western court paintings, classical paintings, etc., most of the subjects are inseparable from the art of the human body. Whether it is a painting of gods or mortals, the upright and scrutinizing attitude towards the human body is indeed incomparable to Oriental paintings.

Oriental painting is not that it cannot depict the human body, but it does not dare to face the human body. Of course, similar things are in the category of experts' study, and Chu Feng only occasionally sighs with emotion.

As for whether what Xiao Liuzi was hiding in his hand was Spring and Palace, Chu Feng naturally didn't know, he just said something to tease him, but he didn't expect to look at Xiao Liuzi's performance, it seemed that he had guessed it nine times out of ten. It's also interesting.

However, he is not a parent, and teenagers are just beginning to develop their bodies, so it is normal for them to be interested in these things. He also grew up at that age, and even if it is not far away from now, he can empathize......

When I went in the door, I saw that there was a letter with a red clay seal on the table. Chu Feng wondered if it was written by Liu Zhengqing, and opened it to see, but found that the opening sentence "Chu Langjun is like a meeting", and the sentence in the lower left corner "Foolish brother Liu Zhengping respectfully" is actually a letter written by Liu Zhengping.

I couldn't help but be curious, so I lit the lamp and took a closer look, only to see that it read:

"I don't see each other for ten days, and I think about it very much. The road to the north is a long way away, and the virtuous brother's body is thin, and every time he thinks about it, he doesn't realize that he thinks about it. Is Mr. Bunduan okay? Is Mr. Cheng okay? Are the Fan family all right? I also ask the virtuous brother to take care of his body, and everything can be done slowly.

"I don't know where to send this letter to the north, and the foolish brother first entrusted it to the hands of Fan's calligraphy and painting shop, and I want the virtuous brother to walk with the Fan family, and I am probably familiar with it, and I can ask for a letter.

"Foolish brother, everything is going well. Although Yiming has not seen each other recently, he heard that he is reading behind closed doors, and he has the style of hanging beams and stabbing stocks.

"This urgent letter, there is another matter, I hope to pour. The disaster relief that the virtuous brother said that day, I discussed with the adults carefully, and it has been gradually implemented, and I have gained a lot. However, there are still inexhaustible points that need to be discussed with the virtuous brother in the details, and the foolish brother has to deliberate back and forth......"

Chu Feng took a closer look, and it turned out that the meaning of this letter was that Liu Zhengping had some problems that were not well understood and difficult to implement in terms of disaster relief, and he was in a hurry, so he wrote a letter and sent it over in a hurry, waiting for Chu Feng's reply.

Chu Feng is also a halfway monk in this regard, and he understands that things are not true, but he can only say some things roughly. At this time, I carefully looked at the questions Liu Zhengping said, combined with all kinds of thoughts in my memory, so I put pen to paper and wrote a reply.

By the time a letter was completely written, it was already the fourth watch. Chu Feng did not feel sleepy, but gradually became happy because of what Liu Zhengping said in his letter.

According to Liu Zhengping, the local government in Hangzhou has begun to roll out the disaster relief plan that Chu Feng said.

The points raised by Chu Feng are actually very trivial, and there is no particularly far-sighted big picture, but in fact, once used properly, they can have some influence.

For example, the simplest point is for those who have a wealth of money and want to learn how to make porridge for disaster relief from large families, but do not have such a large number of people. For these people, the government took the lead and directly issued notices for everyone to donate money and materials, and the details of the donations of each family were recorded in detail, and the use of them was also clearly marked by a special person. Coming and going, there is a real and verifiable route, and this is what makes donors very reassuring.

For example, the clothing estimators who donated clothes, how many short dozens, long shirts, walking boots, etc., they have donated are recorded by special personnel. When the government collects and releases donations, not only can the shopkeeper of the clothing store go to see it in person, but he can also hand distribute it to these ragged victims.

According to Liu Zhengping's heart, the shopkeeper of a clothing appraisal store can be described as tearful and emotional throughout the process. Moreover, because all of this is open and transparent, the news of the donation of the clothing appraisal store to the victims of the disaster quickly spread in the city of Hangzhou, but in a few days, the inventory in the appraisal clothing store was actually bought out by the citizens. What usually takes half a year to sell, but now because of a public donation campaign, it has reached such a turnover in a few days. After the news broke, more and more stores began to join the ranks of donations......

Treating donation activities as an advertising effect is naturally something that later generations of merchants often do. Although, according to the philosopher Kant, if you do something moral with an immoral purpose, then the whole act is still immoral. But if it is truly consequential, this kind of donation is obviously a win-win good thing, and there is no need to pursue too much.

Through his own connections and lobbying at the level of the government, Liu Zhengping successfully persuaded the first few businesses to participate. And after each business got its own benefits, this kind of behavior gradually expanded in Hangzhou.

But then naturally, there are other problems.

Because all of these actions require the presence of government personnel to maintain order, the most serious problem now is the shortage of manpower. Moreover, there are some shoddy things that are gradually happening. In order to have a "moral" liveliness, some grain stores donated old sesame seeds and rotten grains to the outside world, so that the victims of the disaster fell ill and other things.

Although the political achievements are gradually rich, there are also dizzying incidents at the same time. From the initial praise of Liu Zhengping's behavior, Lord Zhizhou slowly gave birth to a little anger and sorrow.
