Chapter 17 Lang Zhong will draw the line
Spring is blooming, and Song Shuyun, who will be raised for a winter, is finally getting better. Now I can go out and walk during the day, and I don't have to be bored at home all day. During the period of recuperation, the Chu family came to see it, but it was not Chu Tianjue, but it was a family member.
sent a lot of food cloth, and an additional martial arts book for physical fitness, indicating that it was for Song Shuyun to practice. Song Shuyun was not interested in this, and threw it to the second brother and younger brother, but she didn't even look at it.
She prefers to walk around her homeland rather than boxing. In the spring, the pond is opened, and there are many fish fry in it, waiting for the fish to be fattened and raised, so that they can be sold for money and eaten at home.
There were originally more than 10 chickens in the family, but now the chickens lay eggs and hatch chickens, and there are nearly 20 chickens in the family, which is still some of the leftovers that were sold in the year. In order to nourish his daughter's body, Zhang's killing chickens was not distressed, and he cooked chicken soup every once in a while, and even the three boys in the family could often eat meat.
During the period of recuperation, Song Shuyun made several pieces of colored ink, including two pieces of purple colored ink. Purple pigment is extremely rare, and Song Shuyun was also lucky to find two wisterias, so he made purple ink.
Song Shuyun planned to go to Feng County to send ink to Wang Langzhong, and by the way, thank him for his rescue in the new year. Grandpa Zhang nodded in agreement when he heard this, but also told her to buy a carriage.
Song Shuyun's body was too weak to blow the wind. It's not good that she will go to the city to take an ox cart all the time in the future, and Grandpa Zhang saved some silver money in his hand, and planned to give it to his granddaughter, but Song Shuyun did not accept it.
She still has a surplus of money in her hand, and now her family income is considerable, and now her family is close to Feng County, and the family's land is contracted by her eldest brother, and Song Dacheng goes to the city every day to work in the blacksmith shop, and has a fixed income of three yuan per month. In addition, he takes some random jobs home from time to time, and he can earn about five or six yuan a month.
It's spring, Song Qi is watching the work in the field, Song Zhiyuan will also help, and Xu Xingfan, the cousin of the eldest aunt's family, wants to go to a private school because he is old, and there is no teacher in their village, so he can only send it to Zhang's grandfather's house and let him study in Liuyang Village.
Xu Xingfan and Song Zhiyuan had a good time, and they often went to the fields to help with the work, and others said that the farm work done by these three boys was more meticulous than that of ordinary adults.
Zhang's is also an idle one, there is a vegetable garden in the side yard of the house, which is sprinkled with rapeseeds, planted a lot of vegetables, she takes care of it every day, not only can the family eat and pick, it is a little bad, and there are many insects can be taken to feed the chickens and geese.
Speaking of the goose, I have to mention Song Xiaosi. Song Xiaosi likes the goose the most, he feeds it diligently on weekdays, causing the goose to get close to him, and only accompany him out every day, there are naughty people in the village who want to bully Song Xiaosi, this goose is the first to disagree, and he has screwed many people for this, and even fought with other dogs.
After Song Xiaosi went to the private school, the goose still followed every day, and later Song Xiaosi went to the private school again, so he pulled a few vegetable leaves from the vegetable garden and kept them to feed the goose at noon. He also deliberately gave the goose a name, called Dabai.
Song Shuyun is the only one in the Song family who does not go to the private school, not that she doesn't want to go, nor that her family doesn't let her go, but the private school in the village doesn't let women go, this is the rule set by the villagers before, and Mr. Teaching is not good to destroy.
Song Shuyun didn't have much idea about this, she preferred to hold the easel and paint quietly than in a private school. During this time of recuperation, she painted a landscape painting. Stone green and blue are the background colors, outlined with red and yellow, and a picture of green mountains and green waters is outlined with extremely detailed brushwork.
Song Shuyun's paintings are unique, at least in this world. In the Xia Kingdom and even in the previous dynasties, the style of painting was a majestic splash of ink freehand painting, and there were few such meticulous paintings, mainly because of the paper and ink.
And now Song Shuyun is not bad in these two aspects, so she paints meticulous paintings, down to the branches of each tree and the ripples of each river. When Song Shuyun gave Wang Langzhong ink, he showed him the painting.
The two of them have a posture of forgetting the New Year, Wang Langzhong loves calligraphy and painting, and he also has experience in this area, Song Shuyun intends to ask him for advice.
Wang Langzhong took the painting full of praise, seemed to find something inadequate, thought for a moment and said: "Girl, your painting is missing something, but I am still shallow academics and can't guide you anything, now there is a guest in my family who is a calligraphy and painting master, a painting is hard to find on the market, why don't you show it to him?" Ask him for advice, and you will get a great reward. ”
Song Shuyun has his own concerns, if he shows him the painting, won't others know about the color ink? Wang Langzhong seemed to know her worries, and immediately said: "This person is extraordinary, there is no need to worry about those things." ”
"I can trust you so much that I bothered him to take a look." Song Shuyun likes to paint, and still hopes that someone can give her advice, Wang Langzhong believes in this person so much, and she trusts Wang Langzhong, so she might as well see it.
Wang Langzhong sent someone to invite another old gentleman, and Song Shuyun remembered that he was the one who played chess with Wang Langzhong in this mansion before. The old gentleman greeted Wang Langzhong with a smile, and the two said a few words, and finally talked about the painting.
"This was drawn by one of my children, can you give me some pointers?" Wang Langzhong showed the painting as he spoke, and the old gentleman's originally smiling face was instantly stunned, and he looked at the delicate colors on the painting paper and was full of surprise: "This, how can this color be so rich?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to say this, you can look at the paintings." Wang Langzhong didn't say anything about the color ink, although the old gentleman was in a hurry, he still looked at the painting first.
After a while, the old gentleman said seriously: "This painting is quite aura, but it is not atmospheric enough. Revealing restraint and stinginess, this landscape painting should not only paint beautiful mountains and rivers, but also have a majestic atmosphere. ”
Wang Langzhong looked at Song Shuyun with some concern, not knowing if this direct evaluation of this girl could withstand it. But when he looked at Song Shuyun, he was quite surprised.
Song Shuyun seemed to be thinking about something very seriously, and there was no trace of annoyance and embarrassment on his face, but he was reflecting. This kind of reaction is quite surprising even the old gentleman who has read countless people, this girl looks young, and she really has aura in painting, and she should have grown up with the moon held by the stars, so she can still be so calm, it is really rare.
"Please give me some advice." Song Shuyunfu saluted, and really wanted to ask the old gentleman for advice. The old gentleman also admired her, so he smiled and said: "I can't talk about pointing, you are still young and inexperienced, and it is common sense to be restrained and stingy." When you have a broad vision, your mood is honed and honed, and you observe and appreciate more, you will naturally have different experiences. ”
Song Shuyun nodded clearly, she didn't have a chance to see anything in two lives, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she has shallow experience. On the contrary, she knew how to improve, which made her very happy, so she smiled lightly: "Thank you for your advice." ”
The old gentleman looked at the painting and looked at it several times, although there were deficiencies but the aura was not reduced, only this point was not available to many painters, and it was the old gentleman's heart that he loved talent.
"Do you really like to paint?" The old gentleman looked down at the painting, but asked Song Shuyun in his words.
Song Shuyun had a sparkling smile in her eyes, which was something that she had never changed in her two lives: "I like it." ”
"Would you like to learn to draw with me? You're a good talent, so you don't need me to teach you anything, but it's okay to be a little ahead of time. The old gentleman really loved talent in his heart and wanted to accept Song Shuyun as an apprentice.
But Song Shuyun hesitated, she didn't know anything about this old gentleman, so she was too impulsive to apprentice like this. Wang Langzhong gave her a look on the side, and finally pulled her to the side and muttered: "He is a world-famous giant in the literary and painting world, and it will definitely not be a loss to worship him as a teacher." And don't you want to be in the ink business? With him behind your back, you can ensure that your business is going smoothly and nothing will happen. ”
"Really?" Song Shuyun was a little suspicious, she didn't particularly care about the giant family, but it was good to be able to ensure that her business went smoothly.
Wang Langzhong nodded and said: "Really, with him, even the kings and nobles don't dare to make trouble, believe me, you can't be wrong." ”
Song Shuyun thought about it like this, it was still cost-effective, and immediately agreed to apprentice, and after serving tea, she gave the purple ink that was originally going to be given to Wang Langzhong to her master.
"I still have a piece at home, I'll bring it to you another day, thank you for the introduction." Song Shuyun never hid anything from Wang Langzhong, and wished he could give him all the good ink.
Wang Langzhong nodded with a smile when he heard this, because Song Shuyun still had to buy carriages and horses, so he explained to the old gentleman about color ink and alum glue, and it fell on Wang Langzhong's head.
Wang Langzhong was enjoying it, originally he regretted that he couldn't share such shocking news with others, but now he can tell his friends that he can't ask for it.
When Wang Langzhong finished talking about the color ink and alum glue, and even took out the color ink and glue blocks in his hand to show off, the old gentleman was shocked to realize that he had earned Song Shuyun as an apprentice.
"How? This apprentice I gave you is not bad, right? I've wanted to introduce her to you for a long time, but I haven't had a chance. Fortunately, this girl has some love for money, otherwise she really can't say that she worships you as a teacher, she can be cautious. ”
Wang Langzhong and Song Shuyun have known each other for a long time, and they have long been clear about her personality, and the old gentleman stroked his beard with a smile, "Yes, yes, this apprentice really has a bright future." Avaricious? Little things, little things. ”
Song Shuyun didn't know what the two old men were talking behind their backs, at this moment she was buying the carriage and horses, setting up the carriage and preparing to go home.
It's just that when she was about to get into the carriage, she suddenly heard two familiar voices, and she subconsciously looked back, but she didn't remember where she heard this sound again.
"What's wrong?" Song Qi saw that his sister was distracted, and thought that she remembered something to buy, so he asked,
Song Shuyun shook his head, not thinking of anything about those two voices, "It's nothing, let's go home." ”
Song Qi saw his sister enter the carriage, pulling the reins and leading the horse in front, when he went back, Song Shuyun was still thinking about the sound, and always felt that the sound was very poignant, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.
