Chapter 251 Surprised
Under Zhao Kuo's arrangement, Zhang Qingfeng stopped painting and dined with Zhao Kuo. In the afternoon, Zhang Qingfeng continued painting.
When Zhang Qingfeng was painting, Zhao Kuo was always watching from behind.
Watching the characters in the painting take shape slowly, although it took a long time, Zhao Kuo didn't feel bored at all.
Looking at Zhang Qingfeng's paintings, not only did he not feel bored, but he also found them interesting.
It took Zhang Qingfeng a whole day to paint Zhao Kuo's portrait, and at the end of the painting, all the paints he brought had been used up.
"Officials, I'm done painting."
Around three or four in the afternoon, Zhang Qingfeng finally put down his painting brush and the entire painting was completed.
"Okay, the painting is really good." Looking at himself in the painting, Zhao Kuo was amazed.
"Yang Aiqing has worked hard, and it's getting late, let's go back after dinner!" Zhao Kuo said to Zhang Qingfeng.
Next, under Zhao Kuo's arrangement, Zhang Qingfeng and Zhao Kuo had a dinner together.
After that, Zhao Kuo arranged for a carriage to take Zhang Qingfeng back, and attached the gold and silver money he rewarded Zhang Qingfeng.
After Zhang Qingfeng left, Zhao Kuo admired the painting alone for a long time.
"Lady, what do you think of these two paintings?"
After enjoying it alone for a long time, Zhao Kuo felt that it was not enough, so he brought the painting to Concubine Yang's residence.
Concubine Yang, also known as Empress Yang in the future, will be named Yang Guizhi. Historically, she will be crowned queen in December this year.
"This, this painting..."
When Yang Guizhi saw the two paintings that Zhao Kuo took out, he was immediately shocked.
In modern times, some people say that realistic painting is the same as taking pictures, and looking at realistic paintings is not as good as looking at photos.
But in ancient times, there were no photos at all, and realistic paintings appeared for the first time in the world, which was really eye-opening.
People who don't know realistic painting skills, even if they are painters who have been in the art for decades, may not be able to draw paintings that look like photos.
Realistic painting has not been a very popular painting method for a long time in later generations, but the emergence of this kind of painting is also something that countless generations of painters have spent many years of painstaking efforts to slowly explore and evolve.
Yang Guizhi is a woman with excellent talents. She not only sings and dances, composes poems and lyrics, but also is familiar with literature and history. She is also very proficient in painting, which can be described as versatile.
The "Hundred Flowers Scroll" handed down to later generations is said to be written by Queen Yang.
In addition, the Shanghai Museum's "Sakura Oriole Picture" and the Tianjin Museum's "Moon Cup Picture", both of which were initially considered to be the masterpieces of painters Ma Yuan and Ma Lin.
But later people discovered that the two paintings had slender brushes and came from the same vein, so they should have been painted by the same woman.
Although there is no inscription of Empress Yang on the two pictures, they both have "Kun Gua Xiaoxi" (Yang Guizhi's personal seal).
Therefore, in later generations, cultural relics appraisers believed that these two paintings were the works of Queen Yang.
Although future generations do not know whether this identification is true, judging from historical records, Yang Guizhi is indeed talented.
This is also the reason why Zhao Kuo insisted on making her queen after the death of Queen Gongshu.
Yang Guizhi, as a woman who is very knowledgeable about painting, was shocked when she saw these two paintings. It can be seen how much impact these two realistic paintings have brought to her.
"Husband, who painted this painting?" Yang Guizhi asked Zhao Kuo eagerly.
"My lady, you would never have thought that these two paintings would be drawn by a young man who is not yet 17 years old!" Zhao Kuo said to Yang Guizhi proudly.
Yang Sanlang was "discovered" by him. In front of Yang Guizhi, he naturally wanted to show off.
"Under 17 years old? How is this possible?" Yang Guizhi was very surprised when he heard Zhao Kuo's words.
In her mind, a person with such painting skills must be at least five or sixty years old.
"The person who painted these two paintings is called Yang Sanlang, and you have seen his works before." Zhao Kuo said to Yang Guizhi.
"I have seen it?" Hearing Zhao Kuo's painting, Yang Guizhi thought for a while, then she shook her head: "I have seen many paintings, but they are all with names and surnames, but I have never seen a painting like this. "
"Haha!" Hearing Yang Guizhi's words, Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Feng Shen Yan Yi, White Snake Legend, haven't you read my lady? These are all Yang Sanlang's works!"
"Huh? Husband means that this painting was painted by Yang Sanlang who wrote the Romance of the Gods and The Legend of the White Snake?" Yang Guizhi was very surprised when he heard Zhao Kuo's words.
She has read both The Romance of the Gods and The Legend of White Snake. These two novels were so popular in Lin'an City that they had never seen before.
But she never expected that Yang Sanlang, who wrote the novels The Romance of the Gods and The Legend of the White Snake, would have such good drawing skills.
This kind of painting technique was unprecedented, and it made her excited.
Seeing Yang Guizhi's surprised expression, Zhao Kuo was very satisfied. However, he was still going to reveal something. He wanted to see his noble concubine's even more surprised expression.
He said: "Lady, this Yang Sanlang is more than that simple. Look at this painting, it is the work he painted alone at home for several days after the Dragon Boat Festival."
"I can paint so well that it takes me a few days to paint very quickly." Hearing Zhao Kuo's words.Yang Guizhi nodded and said.
"Miss, you didn't understand what I meant. This Yang Sanlang, he memorized everyone's appearance and the scenery that day on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. After returning, he drew everyone entirely from memory." Zhao Kuo reminded Yang Guizhi to say.
"Husband, are you saying that this Yang Sanlang can never forget?" Yang Guizhi was stunned.
She thought about what Zhao Kuo said and realized that it would be amazing if one person could do this.
"This Yang Sanlang can not only write novels and draw paintings, he can also rehearse dramas. After a while, I will ask him to bring a drama troupe into the palace to perform for you and you will know. This is much better than opera or anything else."
Zhao Kuo said: "This Yang Sanlang, he also plays a good huqin. I will ask him to play it for you some other day. It is simply the sound of nature. After that, I can also ask him to teach the music to the musicians. These days, I will let him play it for you. I can hear you."
"If this Yang Sanlang is as capable as his husband said, he is really a rare talent. I wonder if he has studied for the imperial examination?" Yang Guizhi asked Zhao Kuo.
"It seems to me that Qingfeng has no intention of entering an official career, so I just let him take a position in the art academy." Zhao Kuo said.
"Husband, please let Yang Sanlang come to the palace tomorrow! The slave family wants to meet him and ask him to draw a painting for the slave family." Yang Guizhi said to Zhao Kuo: "If possible, the slave family also wants to learn this kind of painting. painting skills."
"That's no problem. I'll let him enter the palace to paint for my wife tomorrow." Zhao Kuo immediately agreed.
At this time, Zhang Qingfeng has become something Zhao Kuo uses to please women.
