Chapter 106: Picture-in-Picture
After solving this matter, I went to the university town to meet Ye Zi's family, and did not say who I was, but said that I had bought two of her paintings, although they were just small practice brushes for students, but they were very charming, so I also got up and collected them.
This is what I knew when I chatted with Ye Zi before, Ye Zi was very proficient in painting and was a veritable painter, and had taught homework for many art students.
It's a pity that he is talented, and he can't compare to his family's wealth, so he finally fell off the list from the undergraduate-level art academy to this almost vocational and technical college.
Since then, she has embarked on a completely different path in life, and when she heard me say this, her parents wiped away their tears, and then thanked me gratefully, they already knew that I had paid for someone to collect the leaves, so that she would not wander outside.
The two of them are living in extreme embarrassment, and although I feel sorry for the money, I also hope that I can accumulate some yin virtue.
What's more, the two old men who lost their only daughter are too bitter, and I can't bear to watch the two of them get more and more difficult, so I can only take out a full 100,000 yuan from the last reward I got to the two of them, and I am usually reluctant to spend so much money.
After handing over the money to the two, the two of them shirked again and again, insisting on refusing to accept my money, or I used the name of Ye Zi again, so that I persuaded the two to accept the money and hand over the money, and I consciously gave an explanation to Ye Zi.
It's just that I don't know what will happen to this girl whose death is already miserable after entering the underworld.
Fortunately, she has not done any evil in her life, only being deceived is still a victim, so she should not be punished, and she will probably become a person in the next life.
I haven't figured it out yet, but the two old men specially asked someone to bring me back a scroll from their hometown, saying that it was handed down from their family.
As soon as I heard this, I was immediately overjoyed, and then I opened the painting and sat down in the hall to look at it carefully.
I was also amazed at the beauty of the painting, which showed the feathers of the kingfishers, let alone the beauty, and even the hair seemed to shine brightly, which was simply a masterpiece of the world.
It's just that for some reason, it seems that because these words came from the hands of an unknown scholar, the painting was not very valuable, so it fell into the hands of two old people in the countryside.
It just so happened that Li Tuding didn't know where to go to run errands and came back, and when he saw me looking at the paintings here, he turned his head in wonder, looked at the paintings with a smile and said, "Okay, you, you still have the heart to collect these things?"
I looked at him in wonder, although this painting has some history, but it doesn't have such an evaluation, why does Li Tuding have such words?
Li Tuding smiled and unfolded the painting with me, and then pointed to the scholar in the lower right corner and said, "Do you say it's a coincidence? I just know this scholar, who seems to be a failed talent hundreds of years ago, and then changed to painting." ”
"At that time, I had been dead for about a hundred years, and I was an old ghost, and I usually walked around the bamboo forest, and I happened to run into an interesting thing. ”
Li Tuding told me with great interest about the incident when he bumped into the scholar: "In order to worship the painter as a teacher, this scholar deliberately chose a legendary painting. ”
Then he touched the ink marks on the painting, smacked his fingers in disgust, and said, "This painting is the work of him and his wife." ”
I still wonder if the scholar is not going to apprentice himself? What does this have to do with his wife, there are few women in ancient times who know calligraphy and painting, if his wife is really proficient in calligraphy and painting, how can she be with a failed younger brother Xiucai?
Just as I was thinking like this, He Su seemed to know what I was thinking, his voice was cold, and he said with a hint of disgust: "Of course, it was not the two of them who painted it together, but this scholar borrowed his wife's strength." ”
I was still wondering, and He Su then told me a story.
"Seven hundred years ago, there was a painter who usually painted portraits for the monarch, and then traced portraits for the harem beauties, because although he was skilled, he couldn't turn the beauty into seven or eight out of ten, so he was beaten and driven out of the palace. ”
Because he offended the emperor, no one dared to take him in, wandered outside for many years, and finally waited until the new emperor ascended the throne, and finally had the opportunity to present a new painting of his own. ”
It's just that since he became the leader, he has never painted again, and when someone asks him why he closed the pen, he only says that the ink is not as he wanted, and others find all kinds of ink, but he still refuses. ”
The portrait he left in the palace was hung opposite the palace by the emperor, who dreamed every night that a beautiful woman crossed the portrait and fell beside him, crying out for his grievances. ”
Over time, the emperor became suspicious, so he sent someone to investigate the story behind the portrait, only to learn that the painter Jing had killed his knotted wife in a place where no one knew about it, and dried her flesh and bones as part of the ink, so it became a peerless work. ”
It seems that Li Tuding can also hear what He Su is talking about, and he nodded in agreement: "Unfortunately, this Xiucai also went to the wrong door, listened to this home remedies, and killed his wife." ”
"Although this ghost painting has been confiscated, there are still rumors, so no one has dared to take it, but I didn't expect you kid to have such a big courage to dare to put this thing away. ”
When I heard Li Tuding's emotion, I rubbed my brain with a headache, and then explained to them the origin of this painting.
What I thought was a very expressive painting was now so tricky that I wanted to throw it into the fire right away.
In the end, Li Tuding persuaded me to stop: "Don't worry, don't you see that the beauty in this painting is winking at you? ”
I looked over in amazement, and sure enough, I found that the beautiful woman in the portrait had actually stood up from the stone where she had been sitting, and winked at me with a winking eyebrow.
Originally, this situation was very terrifying, and when I thought about that horrible story, I felt even more disgusted.
What I didn't expect was that in the next second, the man walked directly through the painting.
