Gao Zhuang noticed Xiao Fei's surprise, and even more smug confirmed, "Golden Toad Fold Meitu!"

Xiao Fei has only heard of "the golden toad folding the laurel", what is the golden toad folding the plum? The golden toad folding laurel symbolizes the high school and has a good symbolic meaning, so the various works about the golden toad and the laurel are more popular in Shilin, among which ornaments, jade ornaments, carvings, ornaments, and embroidery are the majority, but the paintings are relatively few. The main reason is that the theme is too straightforward and has no artistic conception, while the reader's painting is subtle.

"Please let the senior brother make it clear, what kind of plum is this golden toad? The younger brother is stupid. Xiao Fei estimated that this was Gao Zhuang's own cleverness, but he still humbly asked for advice.

Seeing Xiao Fei's attitude, Gao Zhuang was very satisfied, and was naturally willing to solve Xiao Fei's doubts, "Then the foolish brother will explain one or two to Brother Xiao Xian." Virtuous brother, look at it, this golden toad is originally an aquatic thing, and the osmanthus is high, so the golden toad is originally said to be a golden toad jumping high and hitting with one blow. Therefore, the world uses the golden toad to imply the high school entrance examination. As he spoke, Gao Zhuang unfolded the folding fan again, "But, Brother Xiao Xian, this kind of saying has been circulating in my Central Plains for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is estimated that since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there has been an imperial examination in the world, and there is the meaning of this golden toad." You see, it's been so long, how vulgar it is? It's simply vulgar! It's not at all in line with the purpose of being a brother and being curious, so I have to change it. ”

After his explanation so indistinctly, Xiao Fei became even more confused, but after this period of conversation, Xiao Fei knew that this benevolent brother was really clear and strange in thinking, and he couldn't think about it conventionally, so he still asked, "Senior brother, why do you have to compete with this golden toad? What does this have to do with plum blossoms? ”

"No, Brother Xiao Xian. It was not without other intentions to be a brother, but after careful consideration and the advice of my old teacher, I chose the 'Golden Toad Folding Plum' picture as a birthday gift. Gao Zhuang is indeed a good teacher, and began to teach Xiao Fei earnestly, "I added my ideas on the basis of Jin Toad's victory. The superintendent is in charge of the county's culture and education, and has the responsibility of educating the students of the county. The eldest lives in Hebei, and he does not necessarily like osmanthus, a beautiful tree in the south, so he should do "plum" for his brother. Mei is a famous flower in the north, with tenacious and noble intentions, comparable to the noble quality and officialdom reputation of the boss. Speaking of his pride, Gao Zhuang became more and more eyebrows flying, "The most amazing thing is that the plum blossoms are also high, and they do not destroy the meaning of the golden toad's victory!

Xiao Feiden was dumbfounded! Fuck your mother's idea! Fuck your mother's shooting! Not to mention anything else, this golden toad's argument is bullshit. Jin Toad, refers to the Toad Palace, also known as the Moon Palace, folklore has a three-legged golden toad in the Moon Palace, climbing the osmanthus of the Moon Palace, is a metaphor for the imperial examination high school, the allusion comes from the "Jin Shu Xuan Biography": "Emperor Wu will send it in the East Hall, and ask Xu: 'What does Qing think he thinks?' Xue said: "The ministers are virtuous and virtuous, and they are the first in the world, one branch of Guilin, and a piece of jade in Kunshan." Although some carvings and jade ornaments are indeed made in this literal sense, are you a scholar? Jin Toad has nothing to do with the golden toad at all!

Gao Zhuang saw that Xiao Fei was still respectful, thinking that he was still listening to him, so he continued his discussion, "Besides, my mentor and his old man also agree with my idea very much. The plum blossom has the tenacity of Ling Han to open alone, and it has the nobility of the sparse shadow and the horizontal slope of the water, and the dark fragrance of the floating moon dusk. My teacher loves plums alone, and there are several plum trees planted in the study house and home, and I admire the ...... every time I face the window."

is his mentor again, there is such a student, this old gentleman doesn't know how many lifetimes of blessings. I really don't know if the old master really supports his precious disciple, or if he is entangled with a headache, and tells him these specious crooked reasons to send him away.

Xiao Fei still wanted to refuse, not to mention anything else, if this painting was really painted, with his Xiao Fei's pretentious and elegant temperament, he would not dare to meet people in shame for the rest of his life! He pondered for a while, and said carefully: "But Brother Gao, this golden toad, as you also said, is an aquatic thing, it grows in spring, moves in summer, multiplies in autumn, and hides in winter, and it happens to be staggered with winter plums, so they can't get together." ”

"Pedantic! As a student of my generation, why are you so inflexible!" Gao Zhuang said bitterly, "Why is the golden toad? It is a sacred object! How can it be compared to a toad, a field chicken, and other worldly things! If it is really afraid of the cold, how can it always live in the Guanghan Palace? The Guanghan Palace must be very cold, at least colder than the outside of the Guan! The laurel tree in the Moon Palace is also a sacred object, otherwise it is so cold, it can still bloom for thousands of years. ”

It really makes sense, Xiao Fei couldn't refute it, but he still wanted to work hard to see if he could make Gao Zhuang give up this shocking idea, "Brother Gao, if this painting is painted, it will really be unconventional and different." Are you sure that the Superintendent will be able to accept this kind of birthday gift?"

"Otherwise, how could the foolish brother find such a high talent as the virtuous brother!" Gao Zhuang seemed to see Xiao Fei's hesitation or refusal, and hurriedly persuaded, "I believe that with the virtuous brother's divine skills, he will definitely be able to express the artistic conception of the golden toad to the fullest." Only young and handsome men like the virtuous brother can make the golden toad fold plum a masterpiece that will be passed down for centuries! At that time, a painting will have the idea of a foolish brother, the painting of a virtuous brother, and the poetry of a teacher. Hey, this is called one painting and three uniques! It really complements my idea of killing two birds with one stone!"

Xiao Fei pinched his eyebrows, and he had a headache. Xiao someone really painted it for you, I'm afraid it will be a stench for 10,000 years! At that time, I will not have to change my name and surname and dare not leave the house, although I may not have the surname Xiao, but I can't discredit the Xiao Mansion in Hangzhou...... Xiao Fei seems to have some idea, he can just draw two strokes to send this bastard away, and he can also not leave his real name, at least not mention it in the painting.

Gao Zhuang saw that Xiao Fei was still hesitating, and couldn't help but get a little angry, "I said, brother, what are you still hesitating about?

Xiao Fei made up his mind in his heart and said, "How can I be, what did my brother say! I hit it off with my brother at first sight, and I was taught a lot by my brother, even if I have a lot of brains, I have to achieve my brother's wishes." Xiao Fei looked proud, "It's not that the younger brother is boasting, the younger brother is conceited and will definitely be able to fulfill his brother's entrustment, but he is just conceiving the structure of the painting, how can he paint to show his brother's 'clear intentions' as much as possible." ”

Gao Da was overjoyed, and patted Xiao Fei on the chest with a folding fan, "This is a good brother for my brother!

Xiao Fei let out an "oops" and took a step back to cover his chest. This rammer is really not small, and it seems that he may have practiced boxing and kicking for several years.

"It's a foolish brother, isn't it! Gao Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward to soothe Xiao Fei's sore spot, "Brother Fool has a bit of brute strength since he was a child, and he has practiced martial arts with his teacher all year round, and he still has the strength in his hands. ”

How could Xiao Fei let him rub his chest, just his two fan-like giant spirit palms, rubbing them twice would make matters worse, "Little brother is fine, brother doesn't have to blame himself." ”

Seeing that Xiao Fei was indeed fine, Gao Zhuang took the opportunity to take two steps forward and walked to him, and flattened the drawing paper on the table, "Then for the brother, wait for the virtuous brother to do it!"

Xiao Fei smiled slightly, "Please wait and see." ”

"Do you want to replace this dirty drawing paper for your brother?" There was indeed an ink dripping from Xiao Fei's surprise on the drawing paper.

"It's okay, brother, please wait a moment. Xiao Fei put pen to paper without thinking, and his movements were simple and fast. I only saw Gao Zhuang stunned, and his face was full of admiration.

However, after the tea effort, Xiao Fei got up after painting, took out a silk scarf, wiped his hands first, and then leaned down and gently wiped the paper a few times, absorbing the remaining ink in the slightly thick place.

"Virtuous Brother Divine Skill!Virtuous Brother Divine Skill!" Gao Zhuang stroked his palm and praised, "The plum blossom branches are strong and powerful, the flowers are scattered but not chaotic, the ink color is uniform and moderate, and there is still residual snow on the branches, which shows the independent personality of the plum blossom Ling Han! The most wonderful thing is that the virtuous brother will make the ink marks of Fang Cai into a plum root mess stone, wonderful! This is really wonderful! This is the finishing touch, so that the tenacity and upright of this plum blossom leap on the paper. ”

"My brother has won the prize, he has won the prize. Xiao Fei waved his hand again and again, didn't he just draw a few strokes casually? As for praising it like this! What's more, Xiao Fei didn't want to paint, he was forced to be helpless. Xiao Fei found that he had no way to deal with the bastard who was missing a tendon. From Han Yubing when he was a teenager, to his younger brother Xiao Teng in Hangzhou, to Zhao Wei and Li Xin who he met a few days ago, and the one in front of him, it is all the same.

"Eh, virtuous brother Hugh should be humble!" Gao Zhuang said with a smile, and he continued to evaluate the painting, "Look at this golden toad, crawling on this branch of the remnant snow, holding a small plum branch in its mouth, it is a divine horse! Look at this leg, fat and powerful." Look at this back, the muscles bulge...... If the drunken bird surnamed Zhou is here, take bamboo charcoal and burn it, and then add a pot of old wine with sauce...... Hehe......" As he spoke, Gao Zhuang's voice became lower and lower, and he couldn't help but raise his arm and wipe the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

Xiao Fei raised his eyebrows, but he didn't care about Gao Zhuang's transition from appreciating paintings to imagining food, he was really used to these unbelievable things happening to Gao Zhuang. What he cared about was another sentence, "'Drunken Bird'? You mean Zhou Lingfeng?"

Gao Zhuang was happy when he heard this, "Brother Xian also knows this drunken bird?"

"Well, when I was studying in the Northland, I dealt with Brother Zhou Xian a few times," Xiao Fei said, "Listen to my brother's meaning, I am very familiar with this Zhou Shaoxia." However, as far as the younger brother knows, this Zhou Lingfeng was born in the Kongtong faction, a famous family in the rivers and lakes, and the elder brother is a scholar with a splendid chest, and Ling Zun is an official gentleman, how can you have a relationship?"

"Hehe, Brother Xian doesn't know anything, Brother Fool and Brother Zhou Xian are also familiar at first sight, and they are confidants in wine. Gao Zhuang seemed to be very proud of his relationship with Zhou Lingfeng, and approached Xiao Fei again, using a folding fan to cover it up a little, "I'm not afraid to tell you, brother Xian, Zhou Lingfeng's nickname 'Tengbei Feifeng' on the rivers and lakes was given to him by me and his old man!"

These four words came from the mouths of this pair of strange masters and apprentices?! You really have to be afraid to tell me about this matter! How talented are you two to give my fourth junior brother such an awkward name!
