Chapter 43: First Sight

"Since Dong Nuan is sick these days, it's not easy to move, so stay here like this, and I'll pick her up in a few days."

At this time, Shen Yancheng understood what the famous calligrapher Liu Chang was here to do.

In fact, he was also happy for Dong Nuan, not to mention knowing that Dong Nuan was extremely smart, and it would be good if he could be appreciated by Liu Chang.

Mrs. Tai asked tentatively: "Then when is Your Excellency going to pick up Dong Nuan?" ”

"Let's take a look at the winter warmth first, and I'll talk about other things later."

A few people entered the room and startled Dong Nuan, but Yun Xiang saw Mrs. Tai come in, and quickly stood up and saluted.

Dong Nuan put down the book in her hand, saw someone she didn't know enter the room, and quickly put on her shoes and got out of bed.

At this time, she was very glad that since Shen Yancheng took her to see Erya, Shen Yancheng was not so opposed to getting out of bed.

At this time, Liu Chang was very surprised when he saw Dong Nuan, and quickly adjusted his expression. Mrs. Tai spoke first: "Let's all sit down and talk!" ”

When everyone sat down, Dong Nuan was a little embarrassed, kept his head down, and Liu Chang opened his mouth first: "I came today, I was originally going to take Dong Nuan away directly." After saying this, Liu Chang stopped. Dong Nuan suddenly raised his head and looked at him, his eyes full of doubts.

She didn't know the person in front of her, and she didn't know why she was taking her.

"I don't know this uncle."

Liu Chang smiled, the little girl was very interesting, "I'm not a bad person, for some reason, I'm going to take you away and take you as an apprentice." ”

"Ahh The little girl shouted softly, and Shen Yancheng spoke first, "Dong Nuan, this is a famous calligrapher and painter, don't you like to paint?" Isn't it appropriate to have such a master? ”

Dong Nuan was a little shaken, but she was a little scared, her mother hadn't come to her yet, what if she followed her and her mother couldn't find her.

"But I'm afraid my mother won't find me."

Hearing Dong Nuan talk about his mother, Liu Chang's expression was a little gloomy, "You don't have to worry, I know where your mother is." Mrs. Tai was taken aback, before Xing's mother said that Dong Nuan's mother was no longer there, didn't Xing's mother tell Dong Nuan?

Why is it now talking about Dong Nuan's mother, and how can it be related to Liu Chang, a famous calligrapher!

Shen Yancheng, who didn't realize that Mrs. Tai was wrong at all, now began to persuade Dong Nuan, "You don't have to be afraid, I'm here!" Dare to ask if the master is going to live in Shenghua Academy? ”

"Yes, when I take Dong Nuan as an apprentice, I can't take care of her as an old man, and Shenghua Academy can take care of her with Chaoyue."

"Did Dong Nuan hear that? The master is in Shenghua Academy, and I am also studying there, and Xing's mother's grandson, that... Isn't that person named Xing Yu going to Shenghua Academy too? And the Master said that you don't have to worry too much if you know where your mother is. Hearing Shen Yancheng say this, Dong Nuan decided to go.

In order to find his mother, but also to draw for what he likes.

Dong Nuan smiled warmly at Shen Yancheng, looked at Liu Chang, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed, "Dong Nuan is willing to apprentice." ”

Seeing that Dong Nuan had already decided to follow him, Liu Chang hurriedly helped Dong Nuan up, and said, "Get up, don't kneel, you still have injuries on your body." ”

When the two sat down again, Liu Chang took out a gold medal with a Liu character on it.

Liu Chang was originally from a big family, and his ancestors were civil officials, although he himself did not enter the office, but he had a great influence in the court, so Mrs. Tai was so respectful to him.

Originally, as a calligrapher, Liu Chang also accepted apprentices, but he only gave occasional guidance, did not see much attention, and did not live together.

At this time, Liu Chang wanted to ask Dong Nuan's foundation, "I heard just now, you like to paint, what have you painted?" ”

Dong Nuan blushed a little, she hadn't painted anything, but she only knew something after reading the book Shen Yancheng gave her today.

"I didn't paint, I just read some books."

Hearing Dong Nuan say this, Shen Yancheng touched his forehead, thinking only about how to speak for Dong Nuan.

"Master, in fact, Dong Nuan is very smart, the books he has read are unforgettable, and he can remember what he has said once."

"Really?"

Shen Yancheng anxiously replied for Dong Nuan, "It's true, I told Dong Nuan how to draw plum blossoms today, and she can say it without any difference." ”

Hearing this, Liu Chang became interested and said: "Dong Nuan, then tell me how to draw plum blossoms." ”

Dong Nuan thought about it for a while, and then said slowly, a good word.

Hearing Dong Nuan's eloquent talk, he became more and more satisfied with this apprentice, although he was young, but he was so smart, and he was also a rare talent, just like that person, he never forgot it, but unfortunately that person couldn't see this excellent junior, but Dong Nuan was still young, so he still had to be modest, so he was going to beat it.

"You just talked about brushwork, so let me ask you, what else does painting need besides brushwork?"

Dong Nuan paused for a moment and said: "When painting, you need artistic conception, and you need to choose tools." Liu Chang nodded slightly with satisfaction, "Then do you know, what are the brushstrokes?" What are the differences between the brushwork of painting and calligraphy? ”

"I don't know if it's warm in winter."

"Landscape painting is basically the same as calligraphy, but the movement of the pen is much more complicated than writing.

The calligraphy and painting are one family, and the brushwork has something in common, but it is also different. You'll have to study hard in the future. After saying so much, although Shen Yancheng can understand, what he can remember is only some more important ones.

Dong Nuan is different, she can remember everything, and she can probably know what to do based on her previous knowledge, and she is more and more convinced of her master.

"Master, the apprentice must study hard. It will not disgrace the reputation of the master. ”

Liu Chang smiled very brightly, "I am very happy to look at you, since you have the talent to never forget, and you have determination, not to mention that there is a master like me, unless your hand is wasted, otherwise, you will definitely be able to become the next master." ”

Since this dynasty, there has not been a famous female calligraphy and painting master, at this time Liu Chang has high hopes for Dong Nuan, and the heart that originally refused is now active.

Make up your mind to cultivate winter warmth well. At this time, he looked at Dong Nuan carefully, wanting to see the shadow of that person from Dong Nuan's body.

Dong Nuan is not like her mother, nor is she like her father, but a little like her uncle.

The slightly glowing peach blossom eyes seemed to remind him of that person, looking at his appearance, as if you were all he had, and let himself be willing to fall.

There were also dimples, and the man had them, but then because of the dimples, he stopped smiling, and never saw them again, and he almost forgot them, and now he seems to remember them again.

"Master, I don't know your name yet!" This sentence brought Liu Chang back to his senses.

adjusted his sad mood, lowered his voice and said: "Your master and I, my name is Liu Chang, the number is Xizhou, all my calligraphy and painting must have the word Xizhou." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yancheng was a little confused, he always thought that Liu Chang's character was Xizhou, but he didn't expect the number to be Xizhou, "What is the word Master, aren't the calligraphy and paintings generally names or characters?" ”

"I don't have a word, so I used the number." This sentence made Shen Yancheng even more puzzled, he had heard that Liu Chang had words, and now he said no, which really made him a little curious.

"Master, there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings of yours outside, but they are all landscapes, flowers and plants, and there have never been figures, why at this time?"

Liu Chang didn't want to answer, but because Dong Nuan was beside him, he couldn't be too strict, so he had to explain slightly.

"I used to make a bet with my old friend, and I lost, so from there, I couldn't draw people again." Hearing this, Shen Yancheng felt very sorry and felt sorry for his master.

At this time, Liu Chang didn't notice that the young man in front of him was regretting, and he was thinking about how to place Dong Nuan.

Although he taught calligraphy to his students at Shenghua College, he also spent a lot of time a year traveling outside. It's a little inconvenient to take Dong Nuan, and I don't feel at ease in Shenghua Academy, although my cousin Liu Chaoyue is a woman who can take care of Dong Nuan, but his cousin has always been a cold personality.

Dong Nuan's body is not good, my cousin may not be able to take care of it, put Dong Nuan in the Guogong Mansion, he is still not at ease, the person in front of him is afraid of beating the little girl's idea.

is unscrupulous in front of himself, and Dong Nuan is still living in his room, how can he put Dong Nuan in the Guogong Mansion with peace of mind! Besides, Dong Nuan is a maid in the Guogong Mansion, and she has to serve others, which makes him unhappy.

"That's a shame."

"What's the pity about this, the gentleman said, the horse is difficult to chase, since you said it, you have to do it, only those villains will not believe it, Dong Nuan you have to remember, if you meet this kind of person, you must stay away from him." While talking, he also looked at Shen Yancheng, as if he wanted to tell Dong Nuan that Shen Yancheng was such a person, and let Dong Nuan stay away from him.

"Master, I know, I will do what I say, I will definitely do it."

Liu Chang was even more satisfied, this apprentice was very temperamental.

"Therefore, before you make a promise, you must weigh it in your heart, whether you can do it, if you can, then promise, don't promise if you can't do it, and end up in embarrassment." This sentence touched Dong Nuan very deeply, and in his life after Dong Nuan, he always remembered it, but he didn't expect that he would be injured in the future.

"Master, I remember all the winter warmth." Liu Chang touched Dong Nuan's head with his hand, "Okay, it's good that you know, you are still young, I will teach you things slowly in the future, if you don't know anything, you can also come and ask me, if you do anything wrong, you must also tell me as soon as possible, I will tell you what to do to make up for it." ”

"But what if I can't make it up to myself!"

"As your master, of course I am protecting you, but you can't do anything without thinking about the consequences just because I will protect you, after all, your master and I are not gods, and we can do anything." At this time, Shen Yancheng has always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, feeling that Dong Nuan is about to leave him, and he is no longer the only one to protect him, which should be a good thing, but now it is not a taste in his heart.
