The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

After the painting appraisal incident, the academy had a comfortable life for several days. Du Yunjing didn't know what he was holding back. When he saw Cui Youdao every day, he just snorted coldly and turned away. In this regard, Cui Youdao kept smiling with great grace.

Others like Chen Heng naturally hope that the two of them can calm down. It's fun when you watch it once or twice, but it becomes really noisy when you watch it too much.

On this day, after Jin Shenzhi's Go class, Chen Heng, Qian Dayou, Xue Biao and others returned to the dormitory. I saw Jiang Yuanbai and two other classmates discussing around the table.

Seeing that their conversation was in full swing, Qian Dayou, who liked the excitement, immediately came forward and asked, What are you talking about?

When Jiang Yuanbai saw the three of them, he couldn't help showing a bitter look and said, Master Xu ordered us to make a painting today, and we will hand it in ten days later before taking a bath.

Isn't this a good thing? It means you have reached the point where you can write. Qian Dayou disagreed. He even regretted choosing Go. He had black and white pieces all day long, killing each other's dragons, etc. It became really boring after a long time.

What's the topic? Chen Heng asked with concern. He was also curious about the painting class.

An ancient temple hidden deep in the mountains. Jiang Yuanbai frowned and sighed.

When Xue Biao heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle: Isn't this an ancient title? What do you want, Master? But he said you are not allowed to paint temples directly.

How do you know? Jiang Yuanbai said happily, Brother, you have to help me for once.

Xue Biao usually likes to read idle books. Seeing that Qian Dayou and Chen Heng didn't know the origin of this question, he explained it to them first. This title was popular in the hands of Song Huizong, the emperor who was the best at painting in history.

He personally founded the earliest Royal Academy of Painting in history, and jointly established painting studies, including an examination system. The person who sets the questions for each exam is of course the emperor himself.

This ancient temple hidden in the mountains was a famous topic at that time. Because it is simple and popular, but also implies the ingenuity of changing things in space, it soon spread among the people.

After explaining to the two of them, Xue Biao asked Jiang Yuanbai, Master Xu, do you have any requirements?

You can't draw temples, you can't draw monks carrying water, and you can't draw monks washing clothes by the river... Jiang Yuanbai said bitterly. Xue Biao was also dumbfounded. Master Xu rejected all the methods used by painters in the past to solve the problem. How can anyone paint like this?

Why are there so many demands? Chen Heng asked suspiciously, and couldn't help but feel that Master Xu was a little harsh on a novice painter like Jiang Yuanbai.

It's not Du Yunjing and Cui Youdao. Jiang Yuanbai was really on the verge of tears and vomited his bitterness to everyone, After Master Xu gave the title, Du Yunjing stood up and said: This title has been written in ancient books for a long time, and it is too simple to draw. , it is better to throw away all the painting methods of the predecessors, so that everyone can compete fairly.

Then he and Cui Youdao said all this with just one word from you and one from me. But they have read the ancient books, but I have not.

After hearing this, Xue Biao had no choice but to spread his hands, patted Jiang Yuanbai on the shoulder, and encouraged, Bless yourself, Brother Jiang.

Qian Dayou listened silently and suddenly felt that Go was not so boring anymore. Isn't this simple black and white thing quite good?

Brother Heng, hurry up, let's talk for a while.

Very good, very good. Chen Heng shook his head and laughed. He followed Qian Dayou to place the chessboard, then sat next to Jiang Yuanbai and started playing.

They had no choice. The dormitory was not big, and everyone's desks were connected together. There were students writing and reviewing elsewhere, and they couldn't move them there.

After they were two bad chess players, they had killed each other's dragons and tortured each other dozens of times. Xue Biao on the side finally couldn't bear it any longer. Chen Heng, who pulled his opponent to admit defeat, sat down and prepared to have a good fight with Qian Dayou.

Chen Heng was free and came behind Jiang Yuanbai and looked at his drawing paper.

Good guy, it's still bare. It's amazing that after such a long time, Jiang Yuanbai still hasn't made a single decision yet.

Is it so difficult? Chen Heng couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Brother Heng, do you have an idea? Jiang Yuanbai raised his head expectantly. He really didn't think of it. Brother Heng, please give me a hand as a brother. In the next life, as a brother, you will definitely wear a grass ring to repay today's kindness.

Stop, stop, stop. Chen Heng quickly shouted to Jiang Yuanbai, Let me think about it.

Under Jiang Yuanbai's hopeful gaze, he paced for a moment and suddenly said Yes. Jiang Yuanbai said happily on the spot: Brother Heng, from the first day of school, I felt that your eyes were like a torch and your expression was bright. First-class, he will definitely be the leader of our academy in the future. Please tell me quickly and let my brother hear it.

Chen Heng didn't give in. He stepped forward and took Jiang Yuanbai's brush, then found a piece of waste paper and drew on it. Seeing this, Xue Biao and Qian Dayou also put down their chessboards and ran over to watch.

I saw Chen Heng draw a mountain covered with forest leaves on the paper with a few neat strokes, and then filled in the blank space with a few frightened birds and an ancient clock that no one was ringing.

Wonderful. Xue Biao immediately clapped his hands.

Brother Heng, you are truly my daughter-in-law! Jiang Yuanbai slapped the table and smiled wildly.

Chen Heng accepted them all and said with a smile: There is still one thing missing. He picked up the pen again and drew a sunset on the top of the waste paper.

The drums at dusk and the bells in the morning are beating against each other, and I am alone behind closed doors facing the broken rainbow. Xue Biao said with a smile, In Su Dongpo's poems, Hengdi's thinking is really a few steps ahead of others. No wonder the articles are always beautifully written.

Has Su Dongpo ever read such poems before? Chen Heng was a little suspicious. Seeing Xue Biao nodding confidently, he asked Jiang Yuanbai: Wouldn't it be bad to borrow poems for painting like this?

Did you know before? Jiang Yuanbai asked.

Chen Heng shook his head. His reading of poetry was limited, and the academy would not teach it as a mainstream subject.

Then did I know before? Jiang Yuanbai asked himself and answered, Of course I don't know either. He took the brush in Chen Heng's hand again and smiled.

Then there is nothing to be afraid of. From poetry to painting and reciting poetry to paintings, this is the first-class elegance. Master Xu knows that he has to praise our ingenuity.

What if I get scolded? Chen Heng asked cautiously.

It was all Brother Heng's idea. Jiang Yuanbai made a quick decision and asked his roommate to protect him.

Can this be tolerated? Chen Heng stepped forward and responded with old punches, but Jiang Yuanbai only hit him and begged for mercy again and again.

It's wrong, it's my fault. Why is my wife doing this to me?

Everyone laughed and made some noise before they dispersed. Xue Biao put down the chessboard, took out a book from his bookshelf, and brought it to Chen Heng. This collection of poems contains masterpieces by famous masters from all over the world. Last month, a new edition was released by Zhejiang Bookstore. It also contains annotations by famous masters. , you must read it carefully and don’t lose it.”

Chen Heng was so happy that he couldn't help but stand up and cup his hands, Thank you Tao Zhu Gong for the beauty of success.

It's easy to talk, remember to write me the subtitles in the future. Xue Biao waved his hand and continued the chess game with Qian Dayou.

Chen Heng got the book, but he didn't rush to read it. He would take time to practice calligraphy every day, and there happened to be no students in the Tiren Hall at this time. He would usually take this opportunity to go to the hall and take a good look at the calligraphy of Yan Zhenqing and Li Bai.

Everyone in the same room knew Chen Heng's habits, and they were not surprised to see him going out with a pen and paper. He just said to him: I will call you when I eat.

Walking through the corridor alone, the days of reading are repetitive and interesting. Chen Heng leisurely walked around to the back of the lecture hall, and when he walked around another corner and approached the door of the Tiren Hall, he suddenly heard a soft female voice coming from inside.

Chen Heng was startled and immediately retracted the foot he had just lifted out. He thought he had met the masters' family members and was about to turn around and leave. But he heard that faint voice, which seemed to be mentioning himself.

Qi Jun, do you know? My brother was standing here that day, pointing to Master Xie's painting and saying: This should not be the original work of Li Daizhao. Other students were still dissatisfied and said to him: Although you are the head of the government examination, But you can’t fool us like this…”

The little girl's voice was very clear and pleasant, and her words were rich. Even Chen Heng was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was really so brave that day.

Wow, Sister Lin, your brother is so awesome.

Hmph, it's okay, it's okay. It's all my usual advice.

Auntie, don't let your sister fool you. My sister's surname is Lin, and I remember that the boy who topped the exam this year is surnamed Chen. How can they be the same family?

Hey, the person these three girls are talking about is really me. Chen Heng was dumbfounded. He didn't know when he had an extra sister. He was even more curious about who these three girls were.

Hahahahahahahaha, you can’t think of it. This is how they first met. Hahahahahaha, I hid it well. Book friends.

Ingenuity, ingenuity. Hahahaha, vote quickly, vote quickly.
