Chapter 88: Presenting a painting to Yan Xiang

Chapter 88: Presenting Yan Xiang, chasing the man from thousands of miles away

"Bi'er, bring the silk."

Painting may not be done on paper. In the Tang Dynasty, it was mostly painted on silk and silk. However, the preservation effect was the best. If it was properly preserved, it could be preserved for thousands of years. After a hundred years, the silk itself began to deteriorate. The silk is the most expensive, but the second most.

But at this time people will definitely not care about these things, which materials are expensive and which materials are the best.

The first time I painted on silk, and the paint was different. Without painting, I first tried writing and painted n random crows before I started painting.

After finishing the painting, he said to Bier: "Put this picture and go to Yan Xianggong's mansion."

"Your Highness wants to learn painting?"

"Why do you want to learn painting?" Now it is not learning painting, but ancient classics. Without three or four years, you can't make any progress in the meaning of ancient classics. Even after three or four years, you can only say that you can make do with it. In fact, no matter what, Li Zhi still hopes that he will learn some knowledge of governing the country. Li Wei never thought about governing the country. Let's save his life first.

"Then you bring this painting to Yan Xianggong's mansion?"

"Gived to him."

"This painting?" Bier asked suspiciously. It's not that Li Wei's paintings are so rough. It should be said that people are humans and never painted a cat. The stone is a stone, and the mountains are mountains. Even because of the trend of realistic painting in Western paintings, they paint more realistically. However, the most important freehand painting, spiritual thought, or other things in Chinese paintings cannot be found. And it is uncomfortable to see this painting. With Bier's eyesight, it still cannot be seen.

"Well, it will give Mr. Yan a big surprise."

Fortunately, Bier blindly trusted Li Wei. If it were Wei Yuanzhong or others, she would have been disgusted to death. Will Yan Liben be surprised if such a painting? It’s like someone running to Guan Gong’s door to play with a big knife, Lu Ban’s door to sell a big axe, or a rough knife technique and extremely rough axe.

But that's not the case, and Li Wei is not such an ignorant person.

Arrive at Yan Liben's mansion.

Of course, he would not maliciously stand at the door deliberately and wait for Yan Liben to come out to greet him, but he walked very slowly, which gave Yan Liben a time to prepare. So this ritual system was a bit tiring. Yan Liben also welcomed him. He was the right prime minister and would not be intimidated and fearful. After giving gifts to each other, he welcomed him into the living room and sat down.

Li Wei took out the painting and said, "I have a close friend named Di Renjie."

"Your Highness is a blessing," said Yan Liben. Others didn't know much. The emperor and the queen had never seen this minister at all, but Yan Liben knew Di Renjie's skills very well. Thinking of his stubborn disease being miraculously healed, he felt a little suspicious.

"It's Gu's luck. Speaking of which, Gu can get Di Renjie, and I have to thank Xianggong Yan."

"I dare not, that's because he was falsely accused. I was on duty in Henan at that time. When I knew about it, I would definitely give my good minister a cleansing position. This is my duty."

"Although, how many ministers can do this job?"

Yan Liben felt ashamed when he heard this. He was able to be the right prime minister and the right position, and was vigorous and capable, but he was not involved in any way. However, the real reason for his great career was quiet and inaction.

But Li Wei did not have any sarcastic meaning.

My father is not weak in employed people. Although Yan Liben and Jiang Ke are not very competent in the court, the other ministers are all among the people. Yes, Yan Liben is really incompetent? How many of them are weak when they can climb to this position?

He opened the painting and said, "This painting was made alone and given to Xianggong Yan."

Giving the painting to his own Alang? The maids serving beside him were stunned and staring at the painting. Then they covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Yan Liben also wanted to laugh, but the other party was the prince, so he was not easy to laugh. He was about to order the servant to put the painting away, but suddenly his eyes widened, put the painting in front of him, and looked at it carefully.

You will definitely not be able to draw, you can barely draw.

However, the painting skills that Li Wei knew have evolved over a thousand years. The use of brush, layout, rendering, ink, and destruction were very different from those of the Tang Dynasty. For example, the curling cloud brush came from the Song Dynasty. Of course, Li Wei himself did not know which dynasty came from, but it was certainly not in the Tang Dynasty, or he had never seen it in the palace. Or the mixed dot accumulation method of Mi's Yunshan of Mi's father and son, or the three-far method of painting landscapes, or the fine brushwork of painting flowers and birds.

Of course, Li Wei may not be able to use it very well, and it may make people see the traces of these new methods. Because each part deliberately uses a certain method and another part uses another method, the overall combination is not very good. This is also the reason why Bier looks weird.

But this painting has a different meaning in Yan Liben's eyes.

"Good painting, good painting."

The maid standing next to him was stunned again. What a painting?

Old man, you are still the right prime minister at least, so you don’t have to flatter the prince. But the prince looks like he takes it for granted. They will not believe that the prince is a reckless man who knows the world. Is he really good at painting? The Zhu, who is close to Zhu, is like in the Tang Dynasty, who may recite a poem or two, and the one who doesn’t understand painting at all, is not enough to see it after reading it again.

"Painting is not good at painting, but some new ideas from Gu, which are new. Gu came to Yan's mansion today and had something to ask for. The country's finances were insufficient. Gu went to Shaolin Temple in Songshan to pray for his father and did not want to disturb the people. Therefore, Gu wanted to ask Gu Yan to set up some houses for Gu and hide his identity. It was also the virtue of Cheng Shangtian, so that he could pray for blessings with sincerity."

He was not the emperor and did not have such a big place to travel, but as the prince, there were not many people in his group. Just like he went from Chang'an to Luoyang, there were hundreds of members who accompanied him. The so-called prayer for blessings in Songshan, he had no intention of doing so at all. He just took the opportunity to go out for a walk, a circle, and a look. He lost the fun when there were too many people. Moreover, if there were too many people, the expenditure was huge, and it was impossible to stay for a long time.

So I plan to travel in a simple way.

"Your Highness, you are the son of a daughter. If you travel easily..."

"Not that, I will lead one team of two guards with me, but I will release a convenient proof for you."

"This is a matter of waiting for me to discuss with several ministers."

The so-called ministerial discussion may eventually be approved by his father, which is also Yan Liben's usual style of doing things safely. In fact, it does not necessarily have to go through Yan Liben's path. It always leaves a fate, and may not require help in normal times. When it is critical, a useful word will benefit you a lot.

This is a simple way of human relationships. I was disdainful in my previous life. I didn’t expect that after becoming the prince, I had to move it out. Of course, as Wei Yuanzhong said, let it go, slowly, endure it, and get over it, and ascend to the big cauldron, but the harvest is huge.

After walking out, in late April, the weather gradually became higher and there was no pollution in the world, so the clouds were even lighter. In April, they were like the clouds in August in later generations, wandering leisurely in the sky like a beauty.

Li Wei thought to himself, in short, I have worked hard and I have tried my best. As for whether it will succeed, it depends on people and God, so don’t care about it!

He said: "Go back to the palace."

"Little lady, do you really want to wipe it?" The maid Luan said hesitantly holding some dust in her hand.

"Print," Xu Li said, gritting her teeth.

The grey stain was wiped up and turned black, a little dirty, but that pretty look did not change much. Looking at the bronze mirror, Xu Li asked hesitantly: "Is it done?"

"I don't know, either."

"No matter what, let's go out." Xu Li took Yu'er's hand and dragged her out. The two of them came to a restaurant in Shangshanfang. However, Xu Li was a little disappointed. Although the restaurant was in the northwest of Shangshanfang, a little further ahead was Tianjin Bridge, but there was an open land in the north of Fangbei, covered with many lush trees, which blocked the view.

Xu Li said, "Yuan'er, go down and inquire."

Let the little girl be a scout.

"Here," the little girl ran down excitedly. After a long time, she ran to the restaurant and said, "The prince has really left the East Palace, and has two teams of guards. No, there are about seventy guards. There are also the little princess, Jiang Bier beside him, a little palace maid in the East Palace, very young, a golden eunuch, and more than a dozen eunuchs serving the palace maids. There are also his two conversations, Wei Censor, Xu Sheren, the grandson of Xu Shaoshi, the author Wei Zhigu, the right-backed sword Zhu Jingze, the doctor of Taizhang Yuan Sigu, the city gate man Xue Na, and nearly ten officials. But they all travel casually."

As Xu Qidan's daughter, Xu Li also heard some news. Most of these officials were not old, but their talents and morality were the best choices. It was probably the emperor who deliberately selected them to serve the prince. Either the city gatekeeper Xue Na, because his name was Dingshan, the people liked to call him Xue Dingshan. This man was only in his early twenties and was very powerful. He probably led the leader to protect the safety of the prince and his party.

As for casual clothes, it is probably because the prince doesn't like to disturb the people.

He said excitedly: "We follow the past."

"Miss, let me have a bite of food."

Even if you follow the past, you have to have a meal. Besides, there are nearly a hundred people in this group, and the scale is not small anymore, and you won’t lose your target. You are stuffed with food in your mouth and asked, “My lady, I’m worried that Ah Lang will find out, and I’ll scold you again.”

"If you don't say it, I won't say it, how can Yayah know? Besides, people have to work hard. Just like the prince, it is because of hard work that the stubborn disease has gradually recovered."
