Chapter 106: The First Painter of the Tang Dynasty

Li Yuanying muttered in a low voice, and was listened to by the chamberlain Lao Gao, and said in his heart that His Royal Highness King Qin doesn't like fat people, so he has to report to the queen mother when he goes back, and eliminate those who are plump and fat. Thinking of this, Lao Gao was a little worried, being too thin might be a problem to have children in the future, huh...... It must be taken seriously.

"Yan Lide you just mentioned, is he the first painter of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Yuanying asked.

Lao Gao replied truthfully: "Returning to His Royal Highness, on paintings, the Yan family brothers are the first in the world, and Yan Lide is the builder, so his paintings are the best at painting architecture." On painting characters, Erlang Yan Liben is better at it, and a few years ago, the Emperor Taishang ordered Yan Liben to paint a portrait. ”

"Let's go and take me to these two brothers......"

Li Yuanying pulled the confused Lao Gao out of the door.

Xiao Doudou came out of the study to write, and he didn't see his father's figure, and he just left when he asked, so he rode a lion and chased after him.

After the general saw Yan Lide, who was a young craftsman, he asked and learned that his younger brother Yan Liben had been serving as the treasurer of the Qin Wangfu, and the new emperor had ascended the throne, and he had not yet been transferred.

Li Yuanying slapped his forehead and made trouble for a long time, the first painter is now his subordinate, isn't this Qu Cai? I have to find a chance to go to the Qin Palace, and see if there are any talents who have been buried.

Sent someone to pass it together, and Li Yuanying took out a textbook on the basics of figure painting.

When the Yan brothers first saw the cheats of such novel paintings, they were shocked by the heavens, and they called the heavens outside the sky, thinking that their brothers had studied hard and practiced hard, and had obtained the peak true inheritance of their predecessors, but they did not expect that there were such painting skills in the world.

Hearing that His Royal Highness King Qin said that he would teach this book to the two brothers, the Yan brothers knelt down directly.

Talking about speculation with the two, Li Yuanying took the opportunity to talk about the introduction of sketching and oil painting, after all, the tools used to play different roles in Eastern and Western paintings, and if you just give a book, it is not easy to understand.

In his previous life, Li Yuanying was a scholar, although he was not a famous painter, but in terms of painting skills, he could be regarded as proficient in Chinese and foreign countries.

"Oh no, I'm going to break into a beast...... Hurry up and save your life......"

At this moment, someone outside shouted, and in an instant, the whole general was in chaos.

The waiter goes to check it out, hey! It turned out that the little princess came with her, hurriedly stopped the guards, and personally took the little doudou and the lion to the main hall of the prison.

A little girl, a majestic golden retriever lion sitting on a seat, this picture is really a bit weird.

Yan Liben exclaimed: "It is rumored that the great power of Buddhism Manjushri Bodhisattva, the golden haired lion under the seat is the mount, is the little princess the reincarnation of Buddhism Manjushri Bodhisattva?" ”

Yan Lide next to him scolded: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense, this is Her Royal Highness the little princess, how can he have anything to do with Buddhism?" My Tang Dynasty is orthodox with Taoist guards, the ancestor of the royal family is the ancestor of Taoism, Lao Tzu is powerful, and the little princess belongs to Taoism. ”

"Ahem, Your Highness forgives ...... sin," Yan Liben hurriedly apologized.

Li Yuanying didn't blame, but asked curiously: "This whole Chang'an City saw such a fierce beast called a lion, I said that his name is a lion, others think it was the name I gave, today I finally saw someone who knows the goods, you tell me, how do you know that he is a lion?" ”

Yan Liben modestly explained: "Since I was a child, I like to read some books about gods and demons, but I am not interested in the stories inside, but I like the illustrations in them, so I have also seen a lot of Buddhist scriptures, and I saw the statue of Manjushri in it, so I knew it." ”

No wonder, this is not strange, the Buddhist scriptures are also from outside, so naturally they will not admit mistakes.

Xiao Doudou pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Daddy, Uncle Tie said that you came to find the portrait of the world's first painter alone, and I will also paint one!" ”

Who? That's what Lao Tie told you?

Li Yuanying took a sip and said, "This guy is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic." ”

The Yan brothers hurriedly explained, with His Royal Highness King Qin in person, how dare we call the world's number one painter?

But the child was clamoring for a portrait, so Li Yuanying proposed that it would be better to choose a day than to hit the day, so he would take the small doudou and the lion as the theme, come to an on-site teaching, and personally start and draw a sketch portrait of his daughter.

Everyone was overjoyed, it was rare to be able to see His Royal Highness King Qin show his hand, and there were not many opportunities.

Xiao Doudou was even happier, and he sat on the back of a lion and became a model.

One hour, Xiao Doudou shook his sore neck and asked pitifully, "Daddy, are you okay?" I'm about to fall off the lion's back......"

"Don't worry, don't worry, just finished drawing the lion, and it'......s time to draw you soon," Li Yuanying said with a smile, his hands kept moving, and more than a dozen freshly made charcoal pens had been changed in the process.

When the few people watching and studying next to them heard this, they covered their stomachs and didn't dare to laugh.

What? You haven't started drawing me for a long time?

With a plop, the little guy really fell, but fortunately, the lion was alert, fell down, and used his body to help the master.

"Daddy, have you just finished drawing lions after all this time? Say it earlier, I'll come down and let you paint him alone, and I'll ...... when I paint me" Xiao Doudou's grievances were just halfway through, and her voice stopped abruptly, what did she see?

Is that......

On the back of a majestic lion, a little girl with a heroic eyebrow is like riding a lion to charge fearlessly, this scene is simply cool.

Xiao Doudou was fascinated at once, and he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.

Happily ignoring his numb legs and feet, he ran over and grabbed the painting, urging the lion to get up and turn over, "I'm going to tell Sister Changle ......"

"Oops...... Your Royal Highness the little princess, can you ......" Yan Liben stretched out his hand to stop, but Xiao Doudou didn't care.

Li Yuanying smiled and said: "In the end, it is a child's heart, and when you get good things, you love to show off." Don't worry about her, the techniques of the general are almost finished, they are all in this textbook, you study them slowly, and this king will go back first. ”

The chamberlain Lao Gao said: "Your Highness, rest assured, when the two of them have practiced their painting skills, the servants will let them get started in person, and redraw a realistic portrait of all the beauties who came to answer the call, and then send it to His Highness for review." ”

I'll go...... Li Yuanying was at his feet, and said in his heart, Lao Gao, I didn't teach you to paint to let you do this.

"No, just let the imperial sister-in-law help you with the matter of choosing a concubine. This painting technique spread, the purpose is not for beauty pageants, it is best used for court affairs, such as the appointment and dismissal of officials, the pursuit of murderers and thieves in Xingjiao, etc., with this portrait similar to the real person, it can greatly improve efficiency and avoid the omission of recognizing the wrong person. ”

"Your Highness Shengming, it's a slave who is short-sighted." Lao Gao said sincerely.

Looking at the back of Li Yuanying's departure, and then looking at the cheats in his hand, the Yan family brothers sighed: "I thought that our brother's paintings were good in the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the King of Qin was deeply hidden, and the name of the first painter in the Tang Dynasty belonged to him!" ”

Li Yuanying rode back by herself, and Xiao Doudou had already arrived in the harem, and took out her own sketch, not only Li Liqing, the princess of Changle, but also the crown prince Li Chengqian and the third prince Li Ke, everyone stared at the painting intently.

"Hey, how's it going? This is a picture from my father, is it exactly the same as mine? Xiao Doudou proudly showed off.

Changle Princess Li Lizhi was the youngest, and she just looked at the painting with envy on her face.

Li Ke is similar, all with envious expressions.

On the contrary, the crown prince Chengqian was older, and he came back to his senses and said: "Cousin, this painting is so beautiful, you can tell me a price, how about giving me this painting?" ”

Yes??? What?

Xiao Doudou directly snatched the painting and put away the painting, beckoning the lion to run.

"Don't run, don't run, let's discuss, I'm not trying to rob your painting ......"
