Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Third Son of the Emperor
Shen Ao smiled, Chen Ji's temper was too weird, but if he wanted to treat him, Shen Ao still had a way. He stood up and whispered a few words to Chen Ji with a slight smile.
Chen Ji looked surprised and asked, "Really?" ”
Shen Ao nodded: "Does Chen Xianggong dare to bet?" ”
Chen Ji hesitated, thought for a while, and said: "Okay, what's the matter with a gamble, if you say it first, you are not allowed to cheat." ”
Shen Ao was very aggrieved: "Am I like such a person?" This book is a child who is high-spirited and bright, so he disdains to do this kind of thing. ”
"If so, then it is a certainty." Chen Ji was suddenly enthusiastic, and said to Yunnu: "Yun'er, pour tea." ”
"No need." Shen Ao was most unaccustomed to Chen Ji's politeness, but he was used to his unreasonable look, picked up the fan on the table and said, "I'm leaving, I'll come back in a few days." ”
"Oops...... Chen Ji rubbed his hands and stood up, very embarrassed: "Shen Xianggong left so quickly, he didn't even drink a sip of tea, he was really ashamed." ”
I was going to send Shen Ao and Zhou Ruo, but I sent it far away, and I reluctantly waved my hand goodbye, very reluctantly.
Zhou Ruo was confused and asked Shen Ao: "What did you say to him just now, why did that strange man suddenly change his surname." ”
Shen Ao smiled: "I said that I can write a hundred different fonts. ”
"Hundred?" Zhou Ruo was stunned and disbelieving: "This is absolutely impossible, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the same is true for calligraphy, that is, it is difficult to study two fonts, not to mention a hundred." Zhou Ruo thought in his heart, no wonder that Chen Xianggong turned his anger into joy, a person like him who loves calligraphy, if he can see a line of calligraphy written in hundreds of fonts, he is afraid that he will hold Shen Ao to the sky.
"This Shen Ao is really strange, how much ability he has, it's very incomprehensible."
Shen Ao didn't speak, but he saw Zhou Heng rushing over from afar, waving his hand at him, and shouting: "Shen Ao, come quickly, come quickly, the county lord's painting is here again!" ”
Fighting with the lord of Qinghe County has almost become an indispensable part of Shen Ao's life, Zhou Heng ran to Shen Ao's side out of breath, and said breathlessly: "Let's go, let's go to the study." ”
Zhou Ruo's face was a little embarrassed, and he sneered: "What is there to see in the county lord's painting." "I stepped on my feet and walked away. It's not good for her to stay with Shen Ao in front of her younger brother, it's very awkward.
Zhou Heng was very hurt, and said in his mouth: "Sister, you will leave as soon as I come, am I so disgusted?" As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled Shen Ao to the study, took out the painting and spread it on the desk, and said, "It seems that the little county lord will not admit defeat, Shen Ao, you must teach her a good lesson." ”
Shen Ao leaned down to look at the painting, and was attracted by the painting at first. But soon, his face became a little unnatural, and he said, "Strange, strange." ”
Zhou Heng said: "What's strange, could it be that the county lord's paintings have grown?" Shen Ao, you won't be empty-hearted, right? ”
Shen Ao said: "This is Emperor Huizong's Ruihe picture. ”
"Who is Emperor Huizong?" Zhou Heng was confused.
Only then did Shen Ao remember that Song Huizong was not dead, and there was no such nickname as Huizong now. He should be called the emperor, so he said: "It's today." ”
"Huh?" Zhou Heng's face turned pale with fright, he just wanted to win the favor of the county lord at first, and tried his best to please her, but who knew that the county lord deliberately humiliated him, which made him competitive. Inviting Shen Ao to paint for him was to fight with the county lord, who knew that this fight actually involved the official family, which was a bit complicated and a headache.
"Could it be that the county lord imitated the official's paintings?" Zhou Heng asked cautiously.
Shen Ao shook his head: "The crane picture is a new work of the official family, I remember that it seems to be a work at this time, and it has not yet been circulated, and it is by no means a painting of the county lord." You look at his painting style, the pen is open, very vigorous and refreshing, the county lord is a female streamer, the brush is mainly delicate, and he can't paint such a charm, so the painting should be a man. ”
Zhou Heng said weakly: "So there is no doubt that this is the true work of the official family?" ”
Shen Ao shook his head again: "It's not a genuine handiwork, but the flowers and birds in the painting are quite the charm of the official family, if you look at this line, will you find traces of copying." Shen Ao's fingertips slowly pulled down the white crane hovering in the painting, and when he reached the platform of the palace, he didn't move: "Look here, it's very jerky, and there are traces of painting snakes." ”
Zhou Heng shook his head: "I don't understand, so this is not an official painting?" ”
Shen Ao said: "Look at this person's painting style is somewhat similar to the official family, especially the thin gold inscription, which is very charming, obviously this person has been guided by the official family." The author should be a person who is very close to the official family. Zhou Gongzi think about it, apart from women and eunuchs around the official family, what other men can accompany him from time to time? ”
Zhou Heng gave full play to his imagination at this time, and then said in amazement: "Could it be a certain prince?" ”
Shen Ao smiled slightly: "Guess right, let me ask you, which prince is the best between the county lord of Qinghe and the prince?" ”
Asked about these gossips, Zhou Heng immediately danced with his eyebrows, and said: "It should be Zhao Kai, the third son of the emperor, the third son of the emperor is a great character, his surname is very fond of painting, and the best at painting flowers and birds is very exquisite, and many paintings ask him to paint."
Among the princes, the third son is the most favored. His mother is Wang Guifei, and she is also favored by the official family. The third son of the emperor is more withdrawn, but he is a recognized genius in Bianjing. He secretly participated in the imperial examination during the Chonghe years, but he was invincible all the way and entered the palace examination. He played even better in the palace examination and won the first place. The third son of the emperor and the lord of Qinghe both like to paint, so the two of them get along and often play together to learn painting skills. Yes, the person who painted Bacheng is the third son of the emperor, ah, I have seen him a few times, but he looks down on me a little, hey......" Zhou Heng said this, looking a little depressed, like him, the prince of the country, no one holds it wherever he goes, and when he meets the third son of the emperor, Zhao Kai, he suddenly lost his temper.
"The third son of the emperor, Zhao Kai?" Shen Ao smiled, pointed to the painting and said: "His painting skills are not bad, but it's a pity that he is still a little tender, and he deliberately imitates the official family, which is self-defeating." His level is similar to Yang Jie at most. If it weren't for his identity as a prince, in terms of painting skills alone, I am afraid that his reputation would not be so great. Well, since he came to provoke, we can't lose to him, give him a little color. ”
Zhou Heng pinched a handful of sweat: "You said that if we win him, will he be annoyed and angry and wait for an opportunity to retaliate." ”
Shen Ao laughed: "I can't imagine that Zhou Gongzi is also afraid?" ”
Zhou Heng said: "It's me and not you who are taking revenge, okay, don't care about him, win first." ”
Shen Ao nodded, took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, looked at this crane picture and thought about it, feeling the painting style of Song Huizong Zhao Ji, in fact, Song Huizong's painting Shen Ao had already copied a few paintings, so he was also in his chest. He picked up the pen, and then the dragon and snake flew and began to ink.
This picture of the crane can be said to be the peak of Emperor Huizong's painting skills, its painting techniques are particularly exquisite, the cranes in the picture are like clouds and mist, the posture is varied, and there is no one who is the same. What's more wonderful is that the sky is full of stone blue, thin halo glow, bright color, crane body powder painting ink, eyes dyed with raw lacquer, suddenly make the whole picture full of vitality.
Huizong is still good at flowers and birds, his flowers and birds are indeed worthy of the name, this time to open the pen, Shen Ao is not as good as the previous few times in one go, but painted for a moment, then suddenly put the pen to thought, as if looking for Zhao Ji that kind of strong pen opening, very strong and refreshing, the side peak such as orchid bamboo, charming air overflowing charm. Sometimes he shook his head suddenly, and sometimes he pursed his lips and chuckled. Dementia, as if everything around you is stagnant. In the world, only Shen Ao and a pen are left.
