Chapter four hundred and forty seventh marriage(2/2)
Zhan Fan wiped his cold sweat while avoiding the fruits flying in the ground and replied: "The Grand Master should not land on the shore. The situation is tense now. If a stampede occurs when landing, it will be bad. It would be better to wait until late at night, I will send the yamen runners to open the road and we will land quietly."
Zhao Xing looked at the rapid increase in high ground fruits on the deck and said worriedly: "When the night, my gunboat will be sunk!"
"How can it be?" Zhan Fan said with a smile: "The warship of the Taishi is a large ship of two thousand materials. If the fruits accumulate too much, the Taishi might as well get a few cannons first and will definitely carry those fruits."
Zhao Xing turned over and greeted the captain: "What irrelevant cargo is there in the cabin?"
The captain replied: "The cabin carries two hundred iron balls. They were originally used to make shells for the artillery of the past. If the Taiwei is anxious, we will throw a few boxes of iron balls down. These iron balls are useless anyway."
Qiuri opened the cabin door and giggled against it: "I heard what you said, how heavy can these fruits be? If they throw them for another three days, they will not sink this gunboat. My husband, this is the strongest and largest gunboat in the Song Dynasty."
The "Apple" has three-story cannon cabins, equipped with 120 cannons. If such a gunboat can be sunk by fruit, it would be a joke. Therefore, Zhao Xing's sorrow just now was purely pretending to behave, waiting for someone to come and write poems and praises in front of him.
But he didn't have to worry. The poems written by the Song people were exaggerated. The scenes of that day were recorded by countless scholars. Their exaggerated elements exceeded Zhao Xing's boldest expectations.
That night, Zhao Xing arrived at the Guangzhou Transportation Office's Office. Zhou Wenzhi, a Guangxi Transportation Officer who came from Guangxi, and Zhan Fan, met Zhao Xing together. These two were old friends of Zhao Xing. When Su Shi was exiled, they were not afraid of being hit and insisted on giving Su Shi preferential treatment. This attitude of respecting knowledge was respected by Zhao Xing, and the two were promoted directly.
Among them, Zhou Wenzhi once went to Xie Lin's Lianghu to be an official. He originally wanted to gradually enter the capital and sit as the throne of the Beijing official, but the party struggles initiated by Cai Jingjing made the officials of Jinghu despair. Therefore, when Zhao Xing summoned him, he returned to Guangdong and Guangxi and served as the Guangxi Transportation Envoy.
Both of them knew that Zhao Xing was good at food, and like Cai Jing liked sceneries. The wine and food presented by them were extremely luxurious. The female singers in the hall also selected the most gorgeous music in Guangdong and Guangxi. The music they played and the songs and dances were full of the unique charming style of Guangzhou, which made Yizhangqing and Qiuri dumbfounded.
"I often hear that Guangzhou is a demon, and the trend is also a demon. As expected, the little girl heard that these are masterpieces of the commons. Yes?" Yizhangqing asked in a quiet voice.
Zhan Fan immediately flattered: "Yangzhou Yizhangqing, and is famous all over the world. We have heard of Miss Song's talent in Guangnan. I have long heard of Miss Song's talent today. I don't know that I will be lucky enough to appreciate the world's unique skills."
When an official travels, it is a kind of official style and a show-off when he shows off his complimentary favorite concubine when he is a kind of official style. Zhan Fan cannot be an exaggeration. He said he is very careful because Qin Guan once lived in Guangzhou. Qin Guan teased Bi Tao. Because of his romantic poem, he has a very bad reputation among officials. Therefore, Guangzhou officials generally do not take their favorite concubine out to celebrate the romantic talent like Qin Guan.
Yizhangqing heard the praise from others and stood up happily: "I will sing a song for Zhan Shou, Zhou Shou will come and take Yizhang white cloth."
After the dance, everyone was calm in the beauty of the dance. Zhou Wenzhi couldn't help but exclaim: "The world is the best. I heard that the dragon in Miss Song's past was preserved in Yangzhou Academy. I wonder if this painting can be given to the Xiaguan today? It is left in my Guangzhou Academy of Sciences."
Zhan Fan woke up from his indulgence, and he immediately shouted: "Such a wonderful painting art should be remembered forever. I suggest carving this painting on the stone wall for future generations to appreciate."
Zhou Wenzhi loudly praised Zhan Fan's idea. He turned his face and looked at him. Seeing Zhao Xing looking at the painting and pondered, he immediately asked: "Tai Shi. I once heard that you are good at painting two strokes. He once advised Li Gonglin and Mi Fu. I wonder what Taiwei's comment on this painting?"
Zhao Xing said slowly: "All the beauty is measured with a ruler. The design of this painting is really ingenious. It breaks down the shape of a dragon into many points, and then designs a set of dance postures. Each dance step is stepped on a fixed point. After a dance, all the footprints are strung into this painting... I think, as long as you design it carefully, not only can you draw a dragon, but even a tiger can draw it?"
Yizhangqing widened his eyes and said in surprise: "My husband, there is such a truth here. Nunu spent five years practicing this dance pose. In this way, this dance move was specially designed. I just don't know who this talented man is. It's really amazing."
Qiuri saw Yizhangqing's performance stealing the limelight and immediately said coquettishly: "Master Tai Shi said this, you must know how to design a tiger. Nu Nu doesn't care. Tai Wei also designed a dance posture for my family, so just choose a tiger. I hope my husband will roar the world with a powerful tiger."
At this moment, Mi Fu, who had been guided by Zhao Xing, was writing in the capital, in front of the emperor's throne.
Mi Fu created a new set of calligraphy in his later years, which was admired by later generations. His calligraphy was called "brushing characters", which means that his writing method was different from that of his predecessors. This time, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty summoned Mi Fu to Beijing because he wanted him to write "Zhou Guan" on the imperial screen so that he could watch it all the time.
Mi Fu drew his brushes and wrote them all, threw them on the ground, and praised himself loudly: "Look at my words... I washed away the evil letters of the two kings, and shone them all forever."
The "Two Kings" mentioned by Mi Fu refers to Master Wang Xizhi.
Shuai Huizong, who was standing behind the screen, heard such shameless boasting, and stepped out of the screen and approached to watch. He immediately attacked the case and praised: "It's true."
Mi Fu was not polite, raised his chin at the painting and calligraphy emperor and replied proudly: "That's natural!"
The emperor pondered for a moment and asked thoughtfully: "I heard that Yuan Zhang had been guided by Zhao Liren to create the golden division method. Later, in order to avoid Zhao Liren, he went overseas and later returned to China and moved directly into Zhao Liren's house. It can be said that he has a close relationship with Zhao Liren. I heard that Zhao Li's handwriting is not well written and has never used a brush, but how did he know the truth in calligraphy and painting?"
Mi Fu shook his head: "I don't know either, maybe someone knows it in his birth, maybe it's not necessarily."
Song Huizong asked again: "From Yuanzhang, did Zhao Liren really have bad calligraphy and painting, or did he deliberately write ugly words and paintings?"
Mi Fu rolled his eyes: "Officials, everyone likes to show off. If Zhao Liren is more than me on the ground, why would he not show off in front of me?"
Song Huizong sighed: "I have been thinking about the golden ratio he said about. Li Gonglin left the record at that time. A young man under me was named 'Zhang Zeduan', and his painting skills were also good. When he saw Li Gonglin's land record, he was amazed. The more I thought about it, the more I discovered the mystery.
