Chapter 25: Painting
"Of course. The old man said with certainty.
Xi Zimo patted Ji Lingbai and said that he wanted to come down. And Ji Qingbai bit his ears, "Let's choose the expensive one." ”
Ji Lingbai didn't know what to say, obviously the family was not poor, why was Xi Zimo such a personality. In desperation, he put him down according to Xi Zimo's wishes.
Xi Zimo ran to the old man as soon as he came, "Can I choose anything?"
The old man stroked his non-existent beard, "Yes, if you have to answer me a few questions." ”
Xi Zimo was unhappy, pouted and said, "You didn't say you wanted to answer the question just now, you lied." ”
The old man smiled, "It's not hard for me to be for you, I see that you recognized the painting I hung here before." As he spoke, he pointed to the one that Xi Zimo pointed at as soon as he entered the door.
As soon as he said the painting, Xi Zimo remembered what happened before, and his face instantly fell.
"It's not hard for me, just tell me about this painting. ”
This is not a dilemma, Ji Lingbai secretly complained in his heart. What can you expect a first-grader to have into Chinese painting?
I saw Xi Zimo hesitate for a moment, looked at the old man and asked, "Our teacher just talked about it today, I'll say a few words casually, don't blame me if you say something wrong." ”
Hearing Xi Zimo say that he only learned today, the old man's eyes were stunned, as if he hadn't expected it. "Since you only learned it today, I don't blame you for your mistake, and the things are still given to you. ”
The conversation between the two also attracted the attention of other people in the store, and more and more people came over to see how Xi Zimo would answer.
"Our teacher said that the "Five Oxen Picture" is one of China's top ten famous paintings, and the picture is a hand-scrolled group painting, with the cow as the performance object, showing the noble character of the painter...... "Xi Zimo's memory has always been very good, and he almost repeated what the teacher said.
The old man nodded repeatedly, and the person next to him seemed to be a little surprised that such a young child could express himself so smoothly, and whispered.
It's just that I didn't expect Xi Zimo to say such a sentence at the end, "It's a pity, this one is not real, and when I have a chance in the future, I must go to see the real thing." ”
Ji Lingbai didn't expect Xi Zimo to say such a thing at all, isn't this offending people?
But the old man didn't care, "Why do you say that my pair is a fake?"
Xi Zimo raised his neck, "Because our teacher said that the real thing is in the Forbidden City Museum." ”
Listening to Xi Zimo's words, the old man not only didn't get angry, but laughed out loud, "Kid, you just said that it was a group picture? ”
Xi Zimo's cerebellum still can't understand such a question, what is the relationship between the picture and the truth or falsehood?
Ji Lingbai understands, it seems that this one is really genuine. Like it, it was placed in the Palace Museum, but this one was placed in the hall at random for workers to enjoy. Ji Lingbai suddenly felt that he should re-examine the situation of this store.
"All right, kid. If you don't understand, forget it. Come, see what you want?" the old man stepped forward and took Xi Zimo's hand and led him to a row of stationery.
Xi Zimo actually didn't understand anything, he just wanted to come to this store with a little interest, and now let him choose something, he was at a loss.
"Sister. Naturally, she looked back at her almighty sister.
It's a pity that Ji Lingbai obviously doesn't have the talent in this area, and he is a little desperate looking at this bunch of things that he doesn't know what they are.
I couldn't bear to see Xi Zimo's disappointed eyes, so I randomly chose a few that I thought were good for him.
"Slow, I see that you, this girl, are you not as good as this little friend?" the old man interrupted Ji Lingbai's approach.
I picked a few items from the left and right on the counter, and handed them to Xi Zimo with both hands, "These things are more suitable for beginners, you take them first, and then come back to get them when you run out." ”
Xi Zimo took it and looked at Ji Lingbai embarrassedly.
"Don't look at your sister, she doesn't understand you yet? "The old man obviously doesn't like Ji Lingbai very much.
Ji Lingbai put back the rice paper in his hand with a weak heart and touched his sweaty nose.
Xi Zimo watched Ji Lingbai's movements and couldn't help laughing. He turned back to the old man and said, "Thank you, old man." ”
The old man smiled and touched Xi Zimo's hair, "Well, it's really good, you can also come to my old man if you have any questions." Not to mention anything else, I can still point you to the point or two in this aspect of painting. ”
This time, without waiting for Xi Zimo to express his position, Ji Lingbai agreed for him. Ji Lingbai just doesn't know anyone in the art world, but she's smart. From the attitude of everyone just now, we can know that this old man is definitely not ordinary.
Sure enough, seeing that the old man had the idea of teaching Xi Zimo, the entire Mo Zhuxuan became agitated.
"What does Mo Lao mean by this?"
"No, that kid is that small. ”
"I don't think so, after all, ......"
Although Ji Lingbai didn't understand why those people reacted so much, he just felt that the old man just said that he could point out Xi Zimo, why did it cause such a big reaction?
In my memory, Xi Zimo's enlightenment of Chinese painting should be Ling Manlan, as for the later teacher, if my memory is not wrong, it should be Xi Zimo's university professor Professor Mo, could it be that Professor Mo is the one in front of him.
Even if Ji Lingbai realized that his rebirth had changed some things because of his uncle's affairs, Ji Lingbai still didn't think that Xi Zimo would meet a teacher in later generations when he was only six years old.
However, whether it is or not, Xi Zimo likes it, so he tries to do it for the other party.
Sure enough, it was the same trajectory as in his previous life, and Xi Zimo still fell in love with Chinese painting in the end. Every day after school, he stayed in his small room, fiddling with his drawing paper. Ji Lingbai wanted to take a look, but Xi Zimo always refused, saying that he wanted to give Ji Lingbai a more complete work.
After Ling Manlan knew about this, she couldn't react for a long period of time. It wasn't until I watched Xi Zimo draw a very beautiful lotus flower that I showed my excitement. I also began one of the few instructions for the painting of mat ink.
It was at this time that Ji Lingbai knew that Ling Manlan could actually paint Chinese, and she was obviously very accomplished. However, she is proud of the progress of Xi Zimo.
The things that the old man chose to give away were indeed suitable for Xi Zimo, but it may be because Xi Zimo likes to paint too much, so he uses them quickly. It didn't take long for Ji Lingbai to take Xi Zimo to Mozhuxuan again.
The old man happened to be in the hall today, and when he saw Xi Zimo and Ji Lingbai coming in, he walked over, "Little friend, I chose so many drawing papers for you last time, and this is all over." ”
After speaking, he felt that it was impossible, and said with a hint of displeasure in his tone, "If you waste such a good paper, my little old man will not sell it to you." ”
Xi Zimo hurriedly said that he had used it to paint, and the old man asked him what he had drawn.
Xi Zimo snapped his fingers and said to the old man, "In the past few days, I have painted lotus flowers and plum blossoms, and orchids are a little difficult, and I am not very good at painting." ”
The old man didn't expect that Xi Zimo, who had just come into contact with Chinese painting, was painting these things, and his love for talent suddenly rose, and he helped Xi Zimo select a few materials, and made an appointment to bring a few of his works to the old man when he came to buy materials next time.
Xi Zimo also asked the old man before leaving, the flower branches of the orchid should be painted to feel more real, the old man didn't seem to have Xi Zimo to ask such a question, but he still pointed out a few sentences according to his own method. Let Xi Zimo still find him next time if he doesn't understand.
Although he just asked casually, Xi Zimo didn't expect that the old man really gave him an answer. And after returning home, according to the old man's method, he really achieved good results. made Xi Zimo have an inexplicable trust in the old man.
Because Ji Lingbai's grade is gradually rising, even if he has no pressure to study, the teacher will still increase the amount of courses and homework accordingly. Xi Zimo fell in love with painting again, and ran to Mozhuxuan whenever he had time, and the routes of the two gradually became different.
But even so, the relationship between the two has always been good. Of course, this has a lot to do with Ji Lingbai's deliberate management. Xi Zimo is still young, she did not suppress the other party's nature, but the fact that the other party is her own is absolutely not allowed to change.
"Mo Lao, I'm here again. "Xi Zimo's current temperament finally has the appearance of a teenager.
This time, it was still Ji Lingbai who followed. Xi Zimo brought his most satisfying orchid.
"Well, I see you seem to have brought a painting with you, show it to me. The old man looked at the drawing paper in Xi Zimo's hand and said.
Xi Zimo nodded, and handed the scroll to the old man with both hands, "It's drawn according to the method you said last time, how about it?"
Mo Lao's method was summed up by himself, and he said it casually at the time, but he didn't think that children could learn anything. It wasn't until I saw the painting in my hand that I was really surprised.
"You drew this?" Mo Lao was a little incredulous.
Xi Zimo was about to say something, but Ji Lingbai took the lead, "What do you mean by that?"
The old man saw Ji Lingbai's displeasure, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little surprised." ”
At this time, many people in the hall gathered around. It's just because of Mo Lao's slight doubts just now that they can already feel Mo Lao's fancy for this little child.
Seeing so many people coming around, Mo Lao didn't say anything. The scroll was unfolded and placed on the table for everyone to enjoy.
"I didn't expect it, is this really this kid's drawing?"
"Yes, look at this orchid, this line, this color...... Tsk tsk. ”
Even if he didn't understand, Ji Lingbai could understand the surprise of these people, thinking that he was so surprised when he saw it before. However, I have long known that Xi Zimo will be a well-known figure in the entire Chinese painting industry in the future, and now this is at most a small fight.
Mo Lao looked at the painting in front of him, and the emotions that had already precipitated in his heart surged again, but he was restrained again. "You drew very well. ”
