This man's name is Song Lu, the son of the late minister Song Wenshu, and the younger brother of Song Yu.

During the reign of Taizong of the Song Dynasty, the brothers were admitted to the Jinshi before and after, but unlike Song Xiang, after Song Lan was admitted to the Jinshi, he did not become an official, and the other did not enter the painting academy, and was locked up at home, just reading books and painting landscapes, forests and stones. During the time of Song Taizong, the number of Jinshi gradually increased, but compared with the current quota, it is still very small. At that time, it was more difficult to get into the Jinshi.

What do you do with such a hard study? Isn't it just to make the list, and then become an official.

After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyi was stunned.

However, people just don't be officials, and it's my talent to be admitted to the Jinshi, but the emperor Lao'er, I don't want to work for you, so what's the matter?

No way.

The surname is Gao Jie, not to mention painting, no one asks for a painting, I like to paint, just to entertain myself, why show it to you. Only his elder brother Song Xiang saw a few of his paintings, and there were many traces of him in the world. Long after his death, only a few pictures of "Dawn of the Smoke Lan" and "Strange Rocks on the Beach" were circulated in the world, and then disappeared. About the gods in the sky don't like the rare works of Coats, let ordinary people pollute it.

He was originally from Chang'an, and later his father and brother were both high-ranking officials in the imperial court, and his family moved to Bianliang City, and he was also in the capital at this time.

knew his history, so Zheng Lang came to the Song Mansion with a fluke mentality. Or at this time, Song Lu is already old, and his surname may have changed a little.

He handed over the prayer post.

Song Lu saw the post and said, "I don't see." ”

Mrs. Song persuaded: "Official, why don't you see it? That's a little prodigy. ”

"It's not a little prodigy, it's a kind of release, that little lady is right, this is a light and floating generation."

The preferential policy of the Northern Song Dynasty caused many freaks to appear in the Northern Song Dynasty. Seeding is one of them.

Several of his elder brothers gave up literature and martial arts, and their interests were not great, but the descendants were very weak, and they became famous breeders. Chongfang studied literature by himself, and his father, who was a small official, asked Chongfang to participate in the imperial examination. I probably felt that my talent was not enough, so I didn't dare to go. After his father died, he took his mother to live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain. After hearing about it, Song Weigan, the Shaanxi transit envoy, recommended it to Song Taizong, and Zhao Kuangyi was very interested when he heard about it, so he ordered him to enter Beijing. But the old breed didn't care. The reason is said to be two. The first reason is that the old lady is opposed, what are you living in seclusion, why did you come to Huang Yanjing to find you? I want to leave you and live alone in the mountains and forests. The old lady said this, and the old breed did not dare to enter Beijing. Not very credible. The second reason is that as soon as he set off, he met his friend Zhang He, who came back from the demotion of his official position, and said a word, what are you doing now when you are called, what kind of official position can you give? Is it a county lord or a county lieutenant? Pretend to be sick immediately, so that the fame will be greater, and the chances will be great in the future. When the old seed heard it, yes, he disagreed.

After listening to his friend's words, the old lady died again, but there was no movement in the court, so I wrote to my friend Song Xiang, my old lady is dead, there is no money to bury it, you have to help me! Very bullish, a reclusive person, Zhongnan Mountain is so far from Kaifeng City, and he actually made good friends with a Hanlin. Zheng Lang has met so many powerful people during this time, except for Liu Chu as his teacher, there is no real high-ranking official as his friend, or a good elder!

Song Xiang didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and went to the book with Qian Ruoshui and others, and said to Song Zhenzong, Lao Chong is a great person, the first emperor valued it, and now he is in trouble, what should he do? Song Zhenzong paid for the official gift, and gave the Zuo Si Zhizhao Wenguan for the first time, which is not much shorter than Liu Zhi now. Directly took a rocket to space, then landed on the moon and went to Mars. The official worship has been to the right to advise the doctor, the family has thousands of acres of fertile land, the rent is collected by the means of transportation of the official post station, and the emperor holds hands when walking.

Wait a minute.

This is what the first hermit of the Northern Song Dynasty did.

After poor old Su Suxun became so famous in Sichuan, the court only gave him a small master, I don't know how he felt when he thought of planting and releasing it?

This analogy is a bit excessive.

Zheng Lang is a little crazy about some elegant things, but these elegant things have nothing to do with glory and wealth. I considered the imperial examination, not only for the sake of the Cui family's relatives, but also for self-preservation, to see the end of no fame, when a few officials came up to arrest him, they pressed it to the ground and a dog gnawed on the thing, and then put on the shackles, went to the public court and did not worship, and then kicked him violently. With fame, who dares. But what to do in the future, Zheng Lang has not yet thought about it.

If the Tao is not yet enlightened, how can we choose our future goals?

But if you put that kind of shameless move, Zheng Lang will not disdain it.

Zheng Lang didn't know about Song Lu's bad comments, and when he heard about the refusal, although he was prepared, he was slightly disappointed in his eyes.

Si'er said unconvinced: "What's the big deal! ”

I was thinking to myself, isn't it just a jinshi? There are so many officials in the capital, and they are polite to their little masters, a jinshi, can draw some paintings, and they are even higher than that Gongbu Langzhong! At least they gave the painting a look, half-opened the middle door, and welcomed the little master in!

"Hugh is rude, this is a noble person like Lin Hejing," Zheng Lang stopped her, and then gave a salute and left.

But two blockades caused him to change the order of the subjects he visited.

originally wanted to visit everyone Yan Wengui first, but it turned out to be Gao Keming.

The strength of high painting is skillful, and the disadvantage is that it lacks the elegance of elegance. In terms of the historical status of the painting world, it is far from being comparable with the master in Shaanxi, and it is slightly inferior to Yan Wengui and Yan Su. However, that was the entire history of Chinese painting, and now, Gao Keming's paintings are still very famous.

And this person values righteousness over profit, and his character is noble, which is known as the people of the time. There was once a quasi-wealthy businessman Chen who asked for his "Spring Dragon Rising Picture". What is the concept of a thousand gold? For Cai Jing's two fans, which historians have repeatedly made a fussabout, Song Huizong only gave 20,000 yuan. Only one gold! In the era of Huizong, not a single gold was enough.

The pen holders that Zheng Lang made were thought to be made by the four hermits, and in this context, the price was 100 gold.

A peerless piano is only about a thousand gold, and a good piano that may take several years to cut out for the works of famous artists in the world is only worth a few hundred gold.

But Gao Keming didn't agree.

At this time, in the painting academy, the most famous thing is that a few years later for the little emperor to draw a set of "Three Dynasties Training Map", a total of 100 pieces, recorded from Song Taizu to Song Zhenzong three generations of important 100 things, used to hollow print, awarded to ministers. It hasn't happened yet, but it's already very famous, but this person still retains the surname of the hermit in the mountains and forests in the past, indifferent to fame and fortune, and has no quarrel with the world.

After eating two closed soups in a row, Zheng Lang was a little unconfident, so he tried again to see if this person surnamed Gaojie would refuse again.

"Da Lang, who are we going to visit next?" Not only Zheng Lang, but also Jiang Xing'er made the two closed-door soups unconfident.

"Gao Keming."

"This human slave has heard of it, and his painting skills are very good." Jiang Xing'er jumped for joy.

"Well," Zheng Lang said noncommittally, he went to visit Gao Keming just for reference, on painting skills, that is, in this era, there are several people who are more clever than him, some have not grown up, some are folk, there is no record in the history books, it is difficult to verify, but there are also several people who have grown up, and their painting skills are great, far above Gao Keming.

Thinking of this, he looked at the West again.

If you want to ask for advice, where is the person he wants to ask for the most, but first, it is difficult to visit, and second, it is too far away. Third, I can't figure out his attitude. I can't really give up my studies and go to Zhongnan Mountain to learn art under him.

Jiang Xing'er didn't know Zheng Lang's thoughts, Gao Keming was also one of the idols in her heart, she didn't expect to be able to witness Zheng Lang's light with her own eyes.

It can only be said that this kid is stupid.

Since he visited, Zheng Lang asked Song Bo to inquire in advance. There were only a few people, some of whom were found, some of whom were not. Song Bo drove the ox cart straight to the door of Gao's house. It's not a mansion, it's much smaller than Liu's mansion, two rows of three-in, three-out houses, a patio in the middle, you can't see the inside from the outside, but you can see two ancient acacia circling up, the ancient branches are blue, straight into the sky, but the leaves have fallen, leaving some withered brown branches.

The gate is also an ordinary gate, and there is no gatehouse, but there is an old servant sitting at the door, and Zheng Lang congratulated him on handing over the post. cannot be compared with Yan Wengui, but he is also one of the famous masters of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zheng Lang still maintained a respectful attitude.

"You are the Zheng family in Zhengzhou?" The old servant looked at him curiously.

"Exactly."

"It's just that Da Lang is on duty, you wait a minute, I'll make sense."

"Trouble old man."

"You're welcome," said the old servant, and walked in. But it may not be Gao Keming who will meet him, the old servant is the old servant, and Gao Keming is Gao Keming. Jiang Xing'er blinked her eyes and looked inside with some concern.
