Chapter 379, a blank piece of paper!
"Do you smell it? It's the scent of plum blossoms—"
"Is it the plum blossoms in the yard that are blooming? I've noticed two plum trees blooming before, but the flavor isn't so strong—"
"It's the fragrance of this scroll, is that groom soaked in plum blossom juice in the ink?"
In the process of unfolding the scroll, various speculations and doubts can be heard from time to time.
Obviously, no one believes that a groom can paint anything of a good standard.
They don't want to believe it either.
When Cui carefully unfolded the scroll completely, everyone looked at the "Proud Snow and Cold Plum Picture" on the table and was silent.
Silent.
Deathly silence.
After a long time, everyone burst into laughter.
"I'm laughing, I'm laughing—"
"This is the groom's painting? Sure enough, it expresses the highest level of grooming-"
"Haha, it's a good painting, it's a peerless painting, I've never seen it before, and I won't see it again-"――
No wonder others laughed at it.
Because there is nothing on the scroll.
There are no plum blossoms, no snowflakes.
Empty, white, and looking like a blank sheet of paper.
Can a drawing paper with nothing at all be called 'extraordinary'?
"How can this be?" Li Sinian looked confused, ran to the front and reached out to touch the drawing paper, and said, "I obviously saw a painting on it, why is there nothing now?" Did I bring the wrong picture? ”
"Miss Miss is really funny." Chen Wenting said with a playful expression: "We are really unable to appreciate such paintings, and it is difficult to appreciate them." I heard that your brother Li Muyang has entered the Ten Realms of Painters, and if he goes down, he can attract peach blossoms in the courtyard - is it that this horseman of your family has also entered the Ten Realms of Painters, and if he goes down, he will attract this heavy snowfall. ”
Chen Wenting and several girls around her looked at each other, and pretended to be surprised and said: "The heavy snow destroys the city, and the heavy snow in Tiandu this year is more ferocious than in previous years - it can't be caused by the horseman who misses Miss, right?" If that's the case, the matter will have to be kept secret. Otherwise, the naughty boys who can't get out of the door by the heavy snow will have to curse. ”
"Obviously, there are paintings." Li Sinian looked embarrassed. "It's really not a deliberate attempt to deceive everyone. Maybe I brought it by mistake. I'm really sorry. ”
Cui carefully closed the drawing paper, held Li Sinian's hand and comforted him, "It's okay." I guess you came out in a hurry and took the wrong scroll. Since this painting was given to me, I will treasure it - but you must also give it to me if you left it in your house. ”
"Be careful, sister, I'll have someone send it to your house later." Li Sinian looked at Cui Careful eyes and said. Wondering, is she suspicious of something?
"It's best to let Li Mu send it in person, if his paintings are really good, I will have to evaluate them well." Cui carefully looked at Li Sinian, a pair of bright eyes thoughtful.
"Of course." Li Sinian readily agreed. As long as Cui is willing to contact her brother, no matter what kind of identity her brother is at this time, she is happy to see it.
"Miss Miss is really impressive." Chen Wenting said with a smile.
"However, since everyone is a sister, there is nothing if you don't know your talents-anyway, the third young man invited you over, and he didn't think about letting you show any talents. However, it is really boring to play tricks on others like this. A girl in red said aloud.
"No, I'm really expecting a groom—I'm afraid we'll be laughed at by the whole of the world if this gets out—" said the girl in the green dress holding the golden nanmu hand stove.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry-" Li Sinian apologized vigorously-
Song Tao stretched out his hand to touch the puddle of water stains left on the table, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked thoughtful.
Seeing Cui carefully put away the blank paper, he said with a smile: "Be careful, can you lend me the scroll again?" ”
Cui looked at Song Tao with a confused look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Third brother, a blank piece of paper, there's nothing to look at, right?" ”
"Maybe we've lost sight, but we still need to do another appraisal." Song Tao said aloud.
"Third brother, you're not kidding, are you? Even if you want to be a groom, don't joke about your reputation—" exhorted a young man next to him. Song Tao is a famous talent in Tiandu, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a dazzling performance in calligraphy and painting, and has the potential to become a 'national player'. If you look away today, and recognize a blank piece of paper as a peerless painting, and spread it out, it will tarnish its reputation, and it will become a joke in people's mouths in the future.
"It doesn't hurt to see." Song Tao is very persistent.
Cui carefully chuckled and said, "Third brother, if you are really interested in that Li Mu, this person is in the other hall - why don't you invite him over and directly order him to make another "Proud Snow and Cold Plum Picture" in front of everyone, isn't this the best of both worlds?" That is, he can promote his talent and show the world that the third brother is eclectic and uses talents. You can also make an assessment of his painting skills, which will eliminate everyone's suspicion. What does the third brother think? ”
Song Tao laughed and said, "This method is very good. Someone came, and invited Mr. Li Mu, the groom who missed Miss, into the small building. ”
It's a strange name, but no one has made such an introduction in public.
Soon, Li Muyang, who was pretending to be a groom Li Mu, was brought into the small building by the servant.
Yellow complexion, thin figure. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't had a good night's sleep in days.
Wearing the gray groom costume of Lufu, he bowed his head and didn't dare to make eye contact with people when he walked. Because the clothes on his body were too wide, it seemed that Li Muyang's body was empty, and a gust of wind was about to blow this sick child away.
People in the west wind are so beautiful and pay more attention to their personal image. Good-looking people are more likely to be likable. And good-looking people are promoted more easily than others.
There was once a young man named Kou Zhong, who governed the county for ten years, made remarkable achievements, and was deeply loved by the people. However, every time he is assessed and promoted, his name is not on the list.
Later, someone asked the local city lord why he didn't promote Kou Zhong. The city lord said that this gentleman is too ugly, he is tired of seeing it, and he is tired of getting tired of it. If you leave it in the county to do more good deeds for the local people, it can be regarded as a great merit.
Later, this Kou Zhong really became a county monarch for a lifetime until he died of old age.
This groom obviously does not fit the Zephyr people's pursuit of beauty, and the girls are extremely disappointed in this groom who stirs up everyone's emotions on this gathering.
Chen Wenting regretted a little, for such a groom who usually doesn't look at him with a flat eye, it was a pure waste of time to make Yaji look like this.
Li Muyang walked up to Li Sinian and greeted his young lady first.
He also saluted Cui and Song Tao, two acquaintances, and as for the people around him, they only made a circle salute.
Song Tao looked at Li Muyang and said with a smile: "Li Mu, your family misses Miss Yan that you are good at the way of Danqing, and took one of your "Hanmei Aoxue Pictures" today for everyone to appreciate, but unfortunately the painting is empty, and we are extremely sorry in our hearts." Why don't you make another picture in public, with the cold plum and snow scene in front of you as the theme? ”
Li Muyang looked at Li Sinian, waiting for his young lady's order.
Li Sinian nodded and said loudly: "I was ugly in front of people just now, and it depends on you to behave well." ”
She bit her thin lip lightly and said with a smile, "Li Mu, don't let me down." ”
Li Muyang agreed and said, "There is nothing to do." ”
"Someone, pen and ink waiting." Song Tao shouted.
After the little maid in Tsing Yi finished studying the ink, Li Muyang rolled up his sleeves and walked to the side of the desk.
Cui carefully kept an eye on Li Muyang's arm, and when she saw that Li Muyang's arm was yellow, similar to the complexion on his face, and there was indeed no trace on the open palm, she couldn't help but sigh lightly.
There is always an inexplicable illusion that this person is the person he is waiting for, but the facts tell himself very clearly that this person is indeed not that person.
Li Muyang dipped the wolf in ink, and then drew heavily on the white paper.
Everyone was amazed, and then rejoiced.
A young man who is good at the way of danqing explained to the girls around him, saying: "The most important thing in painting is composition, which looks at the overall situation of the painter and is also the root bone of a painting. The bones are crooked, what's the point of drawing the back well? Of course, if the first stroke is ruined, it will not be possible to draw it again later. ”
"The painting is ruined and unsightly." A man in white holding a flask shook his head and sighed. "A groom is a groom after all, his hand is jerky, and his pen is like a whip. Savage and brutal. Such a person also understands the way of Danqing? It's really insulting. Insulting Sven. ”
Even Song Tao's expression was slightly stiff, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
"Is he really just a groom? Putting your mind on this person is really asking for trouble. ”
Only Li Sinian stood behind Li Muyang, clenched his fists, and put all his mind on his brother who was painting seriously.
It looks like the young lady is cheering for her groom, and the world doesn't believe that her groom can draw well, and the young lady also believes in it.
This made the expressions of those young ladies look at Li Sinian even more mockingly. She actually treats a groom as a baby?
Only Li Sinian knew in her heart that she couldn't wait to rush up and bite this idiot brother to death.
"Idiot, you idiot - just draw a few strokes, then what do you do with your heart-"
Li Muyang ignored the comments of outsiders and the attacks and slanders against him, and did not notice Li Sinian's barbaric appearance of gnashing his teeth at him, after he made a heavy stroke in the upper left corner, he turned a blind eye and began to sketch it with a brush in the lower right corner.
As the paper was filled with black ink, the sneer on the onlooker's face solidified into frost.
It seems that the temperature inside is even colder than outside.
