Chapter 9: Excess

Shen Ao followed Zhou Heng into the study, this study is not big, there are a lot of books, Shen Ao thought very darkly, there must be a lot of colored things hidden here, maybe there are any tantric double cultivation ** or something.

On the desk, a landscape painting attracted Shen Ao's attention, the signature of this painting is Yang Jie, Yang Jie is not famous, and Dong Yuan is a painter in the early Northern Song Dynasty, but it is much worse than Dong Yuan.

Yang Jie's painting is about one go, so even the works that have survived in later generations are very proliferated. In addition, although his paintings are delicate, they are still lacking in artistic conception. Therefore, such a second-rate painter is not famous, and because there are too many of his works, the value is naturally not high.

Zhou Heng asked: "How much can this painting be exchanged for when it is sent to a pawnshop?" ”

Shen Ao was slightly stunned: "You lack money?" ”

Zhou Heng smiled embarrassedly: "A few days ago, it cost me seven times to buy Tang Shu paper for you, and I only had ten times a month, but now I don't have any money left." After a few days, I want to go out of the city with a few friends, and it's always difficult to ask my mother for it. This painting was given to me by Wang Gongzi, and Wang Gongzi's family has money, so this painting should be worth a lot of silver, right? ”

Shen Ao shook his head: "This landscape picture is indeed a rare masterpiece, but this kind of painting is too indiscriminate, and it will be sold for fifty times at most. ”

Zhou Heng was very disappointed and said, "That's it? I thought I could sell it for a good price. ”

Shen Ao said: "The young master doesn't have to sell paintings, if there is a shortage of silver, how about we partner to do some business together?" ”

Shen Ao had already thought of pulling Zhou Heng on the ship, after all, he was the prince of the country, and with him as a shareholder, many things would be much easier.

Zhou Heng frowned: "Doing business? What kind of business do you do? ”

Shen Ao told Zhou Heng about his plan, and Zhou Heng was immediately interested: "Talent Club? Haha, my son likes it, okay, let's do business together. "He sees everything relatively fresh, to put it bluntly, he has no brains, and his head is hot.

"But to do this business, you have to come up with at least a thousand times." Shen Ao's words were equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water on Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng glared and said, "A thousand runs, this is too much." ”

Shen Ao looked very embarrassed: "I'll figure out a way to do this, who taught me to be the chairman of the club in the future." ”

"So what do I do? Shopkeeper or proprietor? ”

"You're the vice chairman." Shen Ao held his hand and greeted him very sincerely: "Vice Chairman Zhou is good, has Vice Chairman Zhou eaten?" ”

Zhou Heng was very embarrassed, he faintly felt that whenever a title was added with a sub-word, it was always a little unpleasant, and his chubby hand was held and shaken by Shen Ao, which made him embarrassed.

"Can you get rid of that?"

Shen Ao shook his head solemnly: "If you come up with a thousand, we will change positions." ”

Zhou Heng smacked his tongue: "It's better for this son to retreat into the background." ”

The two of them discussed for a while, Chun'er came, Shen Ao was full of interest, and said: "As soon as Chun'er comes, the inspiration of the book boy also comes, bring pen and ink, and I will draw for the county lord first." ”

Chun'er covered her mouth and snickered, and went to get the pen and ink, but fortunately, this time she didn't have to use Shu paper, so she didn't have to break the bank. Shen Ao held his breath, as if he had changed someone, he was still a hippie smile, but now he was an indescribable solemn face.

"Young master, you go out." Shen Ao's old trick was repeated.

Zhou Heng was stunned: "Go out?" Why? I want to see how you paint. ”

Shen Ao said: "I want to understand Dong Yuan's state of mind now, Dong Yuan's person...... I don't like stinky men very much. ”

Chun'er's face turned red and said, "Last time, that Sun Wei didn't like men, why didn't Dong Yuan like men this time." ”

Shen Ao consciously lost his words, and a reason could not be said twice in front of people. However, he was thick-skinned and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "The people who paint are all virtuous, and it is natural that they are a little remote." ”

Zhou Heng protested: "If you don't go, you can paint now." ”

Shen Ao was almost exposed by Chun'er just now, and his confidence was a little lacking, so he had to say, "Okay, let's not take it as an example." With a flick of his wrist, he began to ink on the spotless white paper. By this time, he seemed extremely serious.

Shen Ao is best at copying, the element of copying is delicate, you must have a pair of observant eyes, and you must be able to integrate yourself into it, if there is a little mistake, the flaw in the fake will come out.

In the picture of "Xiaoxiang Picture", the ink is mixed with light colors, and the mountains mostly use the idea method, almost no lines, and the ink dots are used to express the vegetation of the distant mountains, creating a vague and textured mountain-shaped outline. The density of the ink dots expresses the undulating concave and convex rocks.

In addition, Dong Yuan left a little blank space when rendering ink to create a sense of mist and mist, with deep mountains and forests, and a slight blur of smoke and water. There are also characters and fishing boats dotted in the landscape, which are vividly colored and depicted, adding infinite vitality to the quiet and deep mountain forest.

It was the most difficult to fake this kind of painting, and Shen Ao didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest.

Constantly inking and waving, Shen Ao was completely intoxicated, but Zhou Heng on the side lost interest, and took out the paper fan and shook it very anxiously, looking impatient.

Shen Ao stared at the unfinished scroll with all his attention, and said, "Fan me." ”

"Wow, this guy actually thinks of himself as an uncle." Zhou Heng was very angry, but he was very interested in this guy who was engrossed in painting but could sense the changes around him. I thought to myself: "Does he have an extra eye in the back of his head, why is Ben Gongzi shaking a fan beside him, and he can see it even if he doesn't look up?" ”

In fact, as an art thief, from time to time to do some things like a gentleman, the ability to listen to all directions is still necessary. Shen Ao has more skills.

is not angry, Zhou Heng still obediently shook the fan for him.

After half an hour, Zhou Heng's hands were numb, and Shen Ao suddenly straightened up and threw the brush to the ground: "It's done." ”

This time, Zhou Heng had confidence in Shen Ao, and he no longer looked at the painting, immediately rolled it up, and said, "I'll go to the county lord's place, and we'll discuss the business later." After saying that, he put the fan back into his waist and flew away.

Shen Ao and Chun'er were bored, so they went to the lotus pond in the east, where the pavilion was located. At this time, spring is full of joy, a piece of lotus leaves float on the surface of the lake, the lotus flowers have not bloomed, only snow-white flower bones emerge. Shen Ao saw a tail of fish in the lake open the water, and countless water ripples in an instant.

"There are fish." Shen Ao's eyes lit up.

Chun'er said: "This is the bream that my grandfather brought back from Hanyang, and he only brought three tails at the beginning, but who knew that it would breed so much in this lake." ”

"It turned out to be Wuchang fish." Shen Ao was even happier in his heart, Wuchang fish, also known as tuantou bream, has tender flesh and delicious taste, which is rare.

He rolled up his sleeves and said, "You are here to help me watch, and I will fish a few up." ”

Chun'er stopped: "This Mrs. Yu likes it very much, if Mrs. knows, Mrs. will be unhappy." ”

At present, Shen Ao can't take care of a lot, Shen Ao is a native of Sichuan, and Sichuan people like to eat fried and spicy food. After coming here, I found that there were no chili peppers in the Great Song Dynasty. In addition, he used to be a handyman, and he mostly ate vegetarian food, and in today's words, a bird fades out of his mouth, and he can't help it.

He rolled up his trouser leg and said, "That's why I told you to keep an eye on it, and if someone came to warn me." I'll grab a few and go. ”

Ignoring Chun'er's objections, Shen Ao walked to the lakeside, stepped on the mud under his feet, and tiptoed into the lake. When the fish heard the movement, they immediately dispersed. Shen Ao didn't move, waiting quietly.

At first, the fish did not dare to come closer, but when they realized that there was no danger, they swam back again. Shen Ao's eyes locked on a pair of fat bream with pectoral fins, his body suddenly moved, and his one hand was copied out like electricity, and his eyes and hands were almost as fast as the hand, and the palm of the pincers was copied out of the water, and the bream was firmly held by Shen Ao.

This hand is Shen Ao's unique skill, Liangshan gentleman, it is inevitable to do some tricks to drop people's wallets, the hand must be absolutely fast, and the five fingers must be just right, in order to practice this stunt, Shen Ao has suffered a lot.

The live fish started, Shen Ao casually threw it to the shore, and then waited for the fish to take the bait, and so on three times, four live bream were thrown ashore, Shen Ao simply took off his coat, wrapped them in a ball with his coat, and mouthed at the stunned Chun'er Nunu: "Let's go, find a secluded place to grill fish." ”

Chun'er was so frightened that her face was like earth, for fear that someone would find out, so she hurriedly led Shen Ao to the east side of the lakeshore, where there was a low building, weeping willows, the scenery was good, and the population was sparse.

Shen Ao was not afraid at all, and joked with a smile: "Has Chun'er ever eaten grilled fish?" Where is the kitchen? I'm going to find some ingredients. ”

Chun'er said perfunctorily: "I'll get it later, Brother Shen, don't joke anymore, it's not good to look at it if you really want to be seen." ”

Shen Ao looked very aggrieved: "Is it also illegal to grill fish?" It was a pity for me to see such fat fish as a reward, so I used them to the fullest. This is a merit, so that these fish can get out of the sea of suffering and go to the western heaven to enjoy happiness. ”

At the end, Shen Ao solemnly sang the Buddha's name: "Good, good, this little guy has the virtue of a good life, and sooner or later he will become a Buddha." While reading, he thought to himself: "It turns out that this little guy really has a Buddha fate, and it seems that if you have the opportunity to go to the Buddha hall to study Buddhism with your wife." ”
