Chapter 263: The Art of Flower Arrangement
She felt that the reason why the master named herself Mr. Deadwood was not only to show her "old" state, but also to like that kind of artistic conception. She could feel it in his paintings.
Therefore, when she instructed Qingfeng and Ma Sheng to collect materials, she specially told them to lift some moss and pick up some small stones. Li Po's last bamboo basket was not yet equipped with the handle in her hand, she flattened the bamboo basket a little to make it less round, and then put stones and moss, and inserted some dead branches.
The flower arrangements she gave Wu Zong were also very wild, mostly using trees, weeds and stones, but after all the grass and trees were planted, she used two or three purple wild chrysanthemums to decorate the period. This is also the result of her observation of Wu Zong's preferences. She felt he liked the style.
Sure enough, giving gifts is the deadliest.
This kind of thing, the general ancients may not like it very much, after all, this is grass and flowers, and it is not a precious flower, to put it bluntly, it is worthless, just go to which roadside mattress two handfuls. In the eyes of people who don't know how to appreciate this kind of art, don't be too shabby when this thing is given away, even if it is to give two Bai Song is better than this.
But Kang Shilin and Wu Zong are both engaged in art. As soon as these two flower arrangements were taken out, they immediately hit the hearts of Kang Shilin and Wu Zong, and the two of them couldn't put down the flower arrangements they got.
Not only the two of them, but also everyone in the academy. Everyone has a very rich cultural heritage and aesthetic awareness, and you can see at a glance the beauty and meaning that Zhao Ruxi wants to express in the flower arrangement.
"I didn't expect a little stone, a handful of weeds and two dead branches to be so beautiful, how did you come up with it?" Everyone gathered around Zhao Ruxi and asked.
"Ugh." Zhao Ruxi was also inspired by Li Po's bamboo basket, and did not know that there was no such art as flower arrangement at this time, so he accidentally led the trend again.
"Probably we girls like flowers and trees, and I paint them." She scoffed.
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a well-known layman, amazing."
Everyone learned a new painting method from Zhao Ruxi, and although they were given three thousand taels of silver, these silver were a statistic for their rich people. They are grateful to Zhao Ruxi. It's just that it's not easy to show it. At this time, he got the opportunity, and the rainbow fart smashed towards Zhao Ruxi as if he didn't want money.
Each praised her a few words, and everyone was eager to try it and wanted to arrange a handful of flowers themselves. After obtaining Kang Shilin's consent, he immediately went to the garden to pick some flowers and trees.
Cen Song is the youngest in this group, and none of them have yet to get married. Probably the picture is fresh, he is most interested in this art of flower arrangement.
Looking at Zhao Ruxi's two bamboo baskets, he asked, "Zhiwei Jushi, where did you get this bamboo basket?" It's very special. Is it sold on the street? I'll call someone to buy it right away. ”
"It was made up by a mother-in-law in my Zhuangzi, just three. There is also one that I plan to arrange flowers for a while to visit Master Xiao, and I can't give them to you. Zhao Ruxi refused mercilessly.
Cen Song couldn't help but be depressed when he heard this.
"You can use bamboo tubes, vases, clay pots and other containers as the base, and you don't have to use bamboo baskets." Zhao Ruxi said.
She directly took the white porcelain vase that was used as a painting model, broke a dead branch in the garden, and inserted it into the vase.
The shape of the vase is similar to that of a plum vase. The dead wood she folded was a little skewed, so inserted it and put it on the table, which immediately showed a kind of Zen of the dead wood in the mountains.
Kang Shilin likes this kind of artistic conception. As soon as Zhao Ruxi's flower arrangement came out, he suddenly felt like he was overjoyed, and directly took the white porcelain vase in his hand: "I want this, I'll take it back and put it in the house tonight, and I'll take another white porcelain vase to paint for everyone." ”
Naturally, everyone didn't dare to rob him from the old man, and they couldn't rob him, so they ran to the house or kitchen to find various containers to arrange flowers.
"It's getting late, aren't you going back?" Zhao Ruxi asked.
"I'm not going back." Cen Song said while arranging flowers, "I live here." ”
Others also said they would not go back.
Anyway, there are a lot of houses in Kang Shilin's annex, and there is a house of the same size next door that is Wu Zong's, and there are more rooms. Everyone can stay and live, and if there is anything missing, let the next person go home and get it. Not to mention that there are several people in Bac Ninh.
Zhao Ruxi also wanted to visit Xiao Ruotong, said hello to Kang Shilin, and prepared to leave.
"Wait, girl." Kang Shilin finally remembered Xiao Qi's meeting gift to Zhao Ruxi.
He beckoned his subordinates to take out a beautiful small box and handed it to Zhao Ruxi, "This is a meeting gift from the emperor to you, and it is also a reward for you to teach the officials of Dali Temple to paint." ”
"Huh?" Zhao Ruxi was very surprised, opened the small box, and the deed inside was revealed.
"I sent someone to see it, this is a good two-story shop in the capital. If you don't buy or sell, rent it out. Kang Shilin stared at the vase in his hand and said absentmindedly.
"Thank you, Master." Zhao Ruxi gave Kang Shilin a salute, "If it weren't for Master's face, I wouldn't have been able to get this meeting gift." ”
Seeing that the little apprentice understood, Kang Shilin nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you know." In the future, listen to Master's words and don't be naughty. ”
Zhao Ruxi grinned, looking at that smile was very naughty.
She said goodbye, rode into the capital in a carriage, arranged the flower arrangements on the road, and let Lu Bo drive directly to the Zhennan Palace.
When she arrived at the door, the maid went in and came out after a while, and said to Zhao Ruxi: "Miss Zhao, please." ”
Zhao Ruxi led Qingfeng, who was carrying the flower arrangement, to walk inside, and felt that something was wrong as he walked.
She's a person with a lot of direction. Although I have only been to Zhennan Wangfu once, the place I went to last time was definitely different from this time.
If it weren't for the fact that she went to the main courtyard on the central axis, instead of a remote garden and other accident-prone areas, she might have suspected that the maid had deliberately harmed her.
There's no way, I've seen too many palace fights and house fights in her previous life, so she can't help but think about the worst.
Now, is it Princess Zhennan who wants to see her?
The maid led her up the steps, and when she reached the main room of the main courtyard, she made a gesture and stood in front of the door.
The maid of Princess Zhennan, whom Zhao Ruxi had seen that day, was already waiting at the door. Seeing her coming, he smiled politely: "Miss Zhao, please inside, our princess is waiting for you inside." ”
And so it was.
When she stepped into the threshold, she saw Princess Zhennan sitting on the top, smiling at her.
"Ruxi has seen the princess." Zhao Ruxi saluted.
"Sit down, child." Princess Zhennan's attitude seemed to be more affectionate than that day, and insisted that Zhao Ruxi sit next to her.
