Chapter Twenty-Six: The Painting of the World (Part II)
Li Gonglin was born in a wealthy family, the family property is very rich, he heard about the paintings sold by Mo Xiangzhai, he didn't care at first, after all, he himself is a master of painting, white painting is also what he is best at, in his opinion, those paintings that are said to be extremely realistic are just some excellent white paintings, at most with their own level, nothing special at all.
But what Li Gonglin never expected was that a friend of his was lucky enough to buy one of the paintings, so he took it to Li Gonglin here for him to appreciate, and Li Gonglin was shocked at first sight, he himself was already a white painter, and the landscape figures painted were known for their vivid images, but compared with the kind of paintings in front of him, his white painting techniques seemed a little rough, especially many techniques on this painting, which were never seen, for example, he couldn't figure out why the characters in the painting were so realistic, The characters in the painting seem to protrude from the drawing paper?
It was also to see the real thing with his own eyes, Li Gonglin immediately had a deep interest in this kind of painting, he grinded that friend for a long time, and promised a lot of conditions, and finally let that friend endure the pain of love, in addition to Li Gonglin and many inquiries, and finally acquired a painting from a person, today he invited Su Shi brothers and Wang Xu, is to enjoy with them.
"Bo Shi, this is the kind of white drawing that has never been seen before?" Wang Shu also stood up excitedly at this time and asked, he was the same as Li Gonglin before, he didn't pay attention to this kind of white painting that caused a huge sensation, but when more and more people around him were discussing this kind of painting, especially those who had seen the painting, they were full of praise for this kind of painting, which made Wang Shu also have a strong interest in this kind of painting, and he was also asking someone to find these paintings in the past two days, but unfortunately there was no result for the time being, but he didn't expect Li Gonglin's action to be so fast, and he actually let him find two.
"Hehe, that's right, and there's a picture of the most precious rain scene." Li Gonglin also said very proudly, the four people here are all people who know how to paint and love painting, and it is also a very rare opportunity to boast that he can get two precious paintings first.
Hearing Li Gonglin's words, Wang Shu and Su Shi couldn't bear it anymore, and without waiting for Li Gonglin's consent, they grabbed the box and opened it, and sure enough, there were two scrolls of paintings inside, of which Wang Shu grabbed one, Su Shi and Su Zhe grabbed the other, and the two paintings were opened and placed on the table almost at the same time.
The painting in Wang Xu's hand is a figure painting, the painting shows a girl dressed as a maid sitting on the brocade pier, holding a cute little black dog with both hands, gently pressing it against the forehead, with an innocent smile on his face, and the little black dog has a slightly open mouth, it seems to be dissatisfied with the "woo" sound, it can be said that whether it is a character or an animal, this painting is extremely realistic and expressive, the girl's coquettishness and the cuteness of the little black dog in the painting are all vividly and vividly expressive, especially this realistic painting style, It makes people feel that the girl and the little black dog in the painting are right in front of their eyes, and they can touch it when they reach out.
As for the painting in Su Shi's hand, it is a rain scene, outside a half-open window, revealing a sparse bamboo bush, with a lot of raindrops that have just fallen on the bamboo leaves, ripples flashing in the puddles on the ground, and a lot of rain falling in the air, making people seem to be in the rain, which feels extremely real.
Looking at the two paintings in front of them, Su Shi, Su Zhe and Wang Shu did not speak for a long time, and it was the first time they had seen such a realistic painting style, not only the characters, animals and scenery were vivid, but even the raindrops were painted very clearly, as if the author of this painting had magical powers, and could intercept a scene from heaven and earth and put it on the painting paper.
"Brother Zizhan, what do you think of these two paintings, and can they deserve their fame?" Looking at the stunned expressions of Su Shi and the others, Li Gonglin, as the owner, asked with a smile, in fact, when he saw these two paintings for the first time, he was even more out of shape, and the whole person couldn't wait to put his face on the painting, but the more this happened, the more he wanted to see his friend also lose his temper for this painting.
"Good painting! It's like a miracle, I never thought that there is such a magical painting technique in this world, which can paint scenes and characters so realistically! Su Shi looked at the two paintings in front of him, and said with admiration, originally he thought that Wang Xu's and Li Gonglin's painting skills were already superb, but when he saw the two paintings in front of him, he appeared, although Wang Xu's and Li Gonglin's paintings are also unique, but in terms of realism and expression, they are much worse than the author of this painting.
"Haha, Brother Zizhan and I see the same, originally I thought that my white drawing was already the most realistic painting technique in the world, but compared with this painting, it is still much worse, if I can let me know the author of this painting, I will worship him as a teacher no matter what!" Li Gonglin also laughed and said, although his literary talent is also very good, what he really likes is painting, and he is also very obsessed with painting, especially the other party's white drawing is far better than him, so Li Gonglin has long thought of apprenticeship.
"This person's painting style is very suitable for Bo Shi, if Bo Shi can worship this person as a teacher, he will definitely become a generation of grandmasters in the future!" At this time, Su Zhe also opened his mouth and exclaimed. Although the six arts of the gentleman do not include painting skills, during the Northern Song Dynasty, more and more scholars began to take painting as a pastime after studying, which also raised the painting skills to the level of elegance, which was on par with the status of qin art.
However, compared with the admiration of the Su brothers, Wang Xu, who had not spoken, suddenly put forward his own different point of view and said: "Bo Shi, don't be in a hurry to apprentice, although the two paintings in front of you use an unprecedented painting technique, so that the picture looks extremely prominent, at first glance it is very eye-catching, but if you look carefully, you will see that these two paintings actually have no artistic conception, just the realism to the extreme, so that the craftsmanship of the painting is too heavy, and there is a lot less aura, so I am not optimistic about this painting technique!" ”
Wang Shu is good at painting landscapes, and landscape painting pays the most attention to artistic conception and pays attention to the charm of the paintings, so although he was shocked by the realistic painting style in front of him, he thought that this style of painting was too ingenious, which made the paintings less spiritual.
However, Li Gonglin does not agree with Wang Xu's point of view, he is best at white drawing, especially figure painting, focusing on both god and form, in his opinion, this realistic painting style not only waves the shape of the character to the extreme, but also through the subtle expression on the face of the character, so that the god of the character is also expressed extremely exquisitely, so I saw Li Gonglin shook his head and said: "Brother Jin Qing, you and I have different painting styles, I have argued about this many times, maybe in your opinion, this style of painting is a bit dull, but for me, it is a painting skill that cannot be sought, So if I meet this man, I will ask him to take me as a disciple!" ”
The Su Shi brothers didn't want to listen to Wang Xu's quarrel with Li Gonglin on the style of painting, so Su Zhe hurriedly grabbed the words and asked: "Bo Shi, didn't you just say that you heard some news about these paintings, do you already know which master these paintings are from?" ”
Hearing Su Zhe ask about the author of this painting, Wang Xu's attention was also attracted, only to see Li Gonglin stunned for a moment, and then said with a mysterious smile: "I did find out about the news about these paintings, although I can't determine the author of this painting for the time being, but there is a clue, as long as you grasp this clue and investigate, it should be easy to find out who these paintings came from?" ”
"Oh, what's the clue?" Su Shi and the three of them asked almost at the same time, even if Wang Shu felt that these paintings were too ingenious, he had to admit that the techniques of these paintings did have their own uniqueness, so he also cared very much about the authors of these paintings.
"Hey, everyone, look!" Li Gonglin said, picked up the portrait of a girl and said, "This painting is a girl dressed as a maid, and the other three character paintings are also this girl, looking at her dress, it should be a maid of a rich and noble family, and she also has a little black dog, and these paintings are very new, there are two rain scenes in the nine paintings, and it rains every day in the capital of the Middle East this month, and these paintings should be painted within this month." ”
"This ...... What kind of clues are these? Su Shi and the three of them looked at Li Gonglin very puzzled and asked.
"Don't worry, I'm not done yet." Li Gonglin's mistake of liking to sell guanzi has been committed again, and sometimes it really makes people want to pry his mouth open and take out the words directly.
I saw Li Gonglin smile again, and then said: "In addition, I also heard a crucial news, that is, although these paintings first appeared in Moxiangzhai, in fact, Moxiangzhai only sells paintings on behalf of others, and the person behind this painting is Xue Ning'er, who is known as the second line of Tokyo City. ”
"Xue Ning'er, it turned out to be her, I heard that she not only has a refined appearance, but also has better talents, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is no worse than Yan Yuru in the first line, only because Xue Ning'er is more greedy for money, so she is second, could it be that these paintings are actually from this woman's hand?" Su Shi is also a veteran of the field of years, and he is very clear about the major banks in Tokyo City, and even he had the honor to meet Xue Ning'er once before, but unfortunately the other party is a Qing man, and it takes dozens of times to sing just one song, so even if he is Su Shi's talent, he has not been able to kiss Fangze.
"Hehe, where can a woman paint such a painting?" Li Gonglin shook his head with a smile and said, "I spent money to buy the people around Xue Ning'er, and finally learned that these paintings were actually given to Xue Ning'er by Cao Song of the Cao family, as for where Cao Song got these paintings, then don't ask, the reputation of this Cao thief has already spread all over the capital, so we just need to find out whose house Cao Song went to this month, and then check them one by one, especially the appearance of the woman in the painting is so real, there will always be someone who knows, and then the author of these paintings will surface!" ”
