Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 11 Great Painter Zhan Ziqian
The green-clothed youth said: "Solitary make the solution of 'one', the pictograph of the fan is the word 'worm', the character 'li' is the solution of the word 'fire' in the gossip, and the word 'sorrow' removes the fire part, what is left is 'he, heart' ', 'One, worm, grain, heart' together just become the word 'sui'. The author of the puzzle used colored pens full of sorrow for parting to render a strong atmosphere, and used a solitary sail far away in the sky to express the feeling of parting. Shapes and meanings are skillful, the words are solid, the words are beautiful, and the level is harmonious. It is really rare. Among them, those who can dig out the "worm" in the bottom characters will have the idea of ​​getting rid of the old and renovating. The magical skill of 'worm' is enough to shock people."

Everyone pondered it carefully, and it was indeed the case, and they cheered loudly.

"Okay, well said!"

"Xiao Langjun is a great talent, we admire you."

Xiao Chuan said: "Xiao Langjun has a heart and a heart, and is extremely talented. I admire him, but I am willing to bow down."

The young man in green said: "Your Majesty is humble, we are bright for a while, and there is no winner."

Xiao Chuan said: "A certain cow chews peonies. He doesn't know flowers and grass. He only knows its shape, but not its meaning."

The two of them still had to be modest, at this time the shopkeeper said: "You two gentlemen, the author of the lantern riddle once left a message saying that whoever can guess the crossword riddle just now can come in and meet each other."

Xiao Chuan said: "It turns out that the author of the lantern riddle is also there, so I'm going to visit, will Mr. Xiao Lang go with me?"

The young man in green was quite skilled in calligraphy and painting, so he happily went together, Xiao Chuan, the young man in green followed the shopkeeper into the back hall.

Everyone saw that the competition was over, and there was no excitement watching, and dispersed one after another.

The back hall is a studio with dozens of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and a man in his 30s is splashing ink.

When the man had finished the last stroke and was appreciating his masterpiece triumphantly, the shopkeeper coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Zhan, your lantern riddle has been guessed, do you have to make a certain generation's riddle this time?" Is the fee for buying calligraphy and painting settled?"

The man ignored the shopkeeper, looked at Xiao Chuan and the two, and asked, "Which young gentleman guessed a certain lantern riddle?"

Xiao Chuan smiled and said, "Both of you have guessed right."

The man was overjoyed, and stretched out his paint-stained hands, each holding the hands of Xiao Chuan and the young man in green, and said, "Friends, friends, I thought it would take three to five months to be guessed correctly, but I didn't expect that just now In half a month, let someone meet two talented scholars."

The young man in green was holding his hand, his face turned red, and he pulled out his hand forcefully, Xiao Chuan was a little puzzled: "This young man is too thin-skinned, why does he blush at every turn?"

Xiao Chuan said: "Lang Jun is also a great talent, and he can solve profound lantern riddles."

Everyone carried the flowery sedan chair, and the man was even more happy when he heard this.Said: "Xiao Langjun is right, unlike some people who look down on others."

The shopkeeper curled his lips when he heard the words, and said: "Mr. Zhanlang will pay back the money if he says nothing."

Xiao Chuan asked suspiciously, "Why pay back the money?"

The man said embarrassingly: "Okay, shopkeeper, the money will be paid back soon, so go ahead."

The shopkeeper muttered and went out.

The man smiled and said, "What do you call the young gentlemen?"

"Xiao Chuan, these three are younger siblings and servants."

The young man in green hesitated, and said, "A certain Yu Wenyan, this is Ruyi, my brother-in-law."

The man clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Dugu, Mr. Yuwen, a certain Zhan Ziqian, a native of Bohai, has loved painting since he was a child. When he first arrived in the capital, he met two talented scholars. It's a great pleasure to meet you. I have some paintings. I hope you can see them again." The two little gentlemen give some pointers."

Ruyi and Duguyan brothers and sisters were playing nearby, while Xiao Chuan and Yu Wenyan followed Zhan Ziqian to a painting.

When Xiao Chuan saw that the title of the painting was "A Picture of Outing in Spring", he immediately searched on Du Niang on his mobile phone, and blurted out a few lines of comments from later painters.

"In the upper right of this painting, there are lofty mountains and ridges, undulating mountains and overlapping peaks, and on the lower right there are earth slopes, low slopes with trees, and winding mountain roads, which are not only the extension of the lower part of the lofty mountains, but also serve as auxiliary pads, giving the whole picture a sense of thickness. On the lower left is a low hill, which echoes the mountains on the upper right, forming a stark contrast. In the middle is a large area of ​​water, with sparkling waves, and the lake and sky are of the same color. A small boat is dotted in it, and three or four people in the boat have different postures and shapes, and are leisurely and content. .”

Yu Wenyan looked at Xiao Chuan with approving eyes, and then said: "This "Picture of Outing in Spring" uses green and heavy colors, the brushwork is fine and powerful, and the colors are strong and vivid. Moss dots made of flowers and green are the first sign of moss, and the body of a human and horse is as small as a bean, but it is meticulously drawn. This painting has broken away from the status of landscape as the background of figure painting, and it is an independent painting, which can be called a famous painting handed down from generation to generation."

Zhan Ziqian was praised by the two, his eyes lit up with excitement, he clapped and laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, it's really my parents who gave birth to me, and Dugu and Yuwen who know me."

Zhan Ziqian stepped forward, took off the "Picture of Outing in Spring", handed it to Xiao Chuan and said, "Brother Dugu, this "Picture of Outing in Spring" is for you."

Xiao Chuan hastily declined and said: "Brother Ziqian, you can't do this, this painting is too expensive, I can't bear it."

"Brother, you are welcome, there are still dozens of pictures here."

Zhan Ziqian stuffed the painting casually into Xiao Chuan's arms, and then opened a box, which contained dozens of scrolls.

Zhan Ziqian picked up one and unfolded it, revealing another "Spring Outing"!
Zhan Ziqian stuffed the second copy of "A Picture of Outing in Spring" into Yu Wenyan's hand, and said, "Brother Yu Wen also takes a copy."

Zhan Ziqian's coquettish operation made Xiao Chuan and Yu Wenyan dumbfounded.

Emotional Zhan Ziqian makes his own fakes, just like some art students in later generations, who draw dozens of paintings at a time, and sell them for fifty or one hundred.

After all, Xiao Chuan came from later generations and has rich social experience. From the shopkeeper's attitude towards Zhan Ziqian just now, it can be seen that this one of the best painters in the Sui and Tang Dynasties is not doing very well now, so he can only sell paintings along the street.

It is estimated that Zhan Ziqian would never have dreamed that the later generations "Picture of Outing in Spring" would be auctioned for a sky-high price.

Xiao Chuan rolled his eyes, and said, "Brother Ziqian, don't worry, someone bought all of your paintings."

Zhan Ziqian was both surprised and happy, and said, "Really."

Xiao Chuan said: "My little brother appreciates Brother Zhan's paintings very much, but I didn't bring copper coins, only gold coins."

Zhan Ziqian said: "Brother, gold coins are also fine, some people can exchange them for copper coins or silk."

In ancient times, almost all the purchases and sales of goods were settled with copper coins or silk, followed by gold, and almost no bills were paid with silver, because silver was scarce.

Zhan Ziqian called the shopkeeper, counted the number of calligraphy and paintings, Xiao Chuan settled the gold coins, and the shopkeeper personally sent them to Dugu Luo's house.

Zhan Ziqian was very happy and thanked Xiao Chuan a thousand times.

Xiao Chuan laughed in his heart, and said: "Brother Zhan, you are welcome, there is something else that needs Ziqian's help."

Zhan Ziqian said frankly: "Your brother, feel free to speak up if you have something to do."

Xiao Chuan said: "Someone is currently supervising the construction of the Supreme Emperor's Tiantai Palace and needs a batch of paintings. I wonder if brother Ziqian has time to help with painting."

Although Zhan Ziqian was obsessed with painting, he was not a fool. Knowing that Xiao Chuan wanted to help him tactfully, he suddenly felt mixed feelings, his eyes flushed, and said: "I am willing, but I don't know what kind of paintings my virtuous brother needs to paint?"

Xiao Chuan said: "Flying Sky."

Zhan Ziqian patted his chest and said: "Young brother bought so many paintings just now, which solved the food and clothing of a certain person, and now introduce such a big business to a certain person, so I must paint well, let my good brother show his face, and satisfy the emperor."
