Chapter 40(2/2)
That’s the way.”
Zeng Bu smiled heartily and said, "Not bad, not bad." After that, the two of them had a drink together.
Mrs. Wei looked back and saw Mo Yunxiao looking at the painting blankly, so she asked, "He Lu, can you see what's good about this painting?"
Mo Yunxiao smiled and said: "This painting uses the brush and bone method, and the outline of the strokes has the foundation of Mi Fu's calligraphy. Well, it is indeed a good painting. However, it seems that it is not finished. The place next to the scholar playing the piano seems quite empty. This
What’s the point?”
When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised.
Li Xianmo asked: "Helu, I don't see you studying this on a daily basis, how come you know something about it?"
"It's not that I don't study hard, it's just that the third grandma doesn't know." She said this, and Li Xiangmo lowered his head in shame.
Zeng Bu smiled and said: "The official gave me this painting, which also posed a difficult problem for me. He asked me to complete the painting. I wonder what Miss Mo has to say?"
Mo Yunxiaoli sat up, walked to the painting, looked at it carefully, and asked Zeng Bu: "What do you think, Master?"
Zeng Bu stroked his beard and laughed, saying: "If I have a wonderful method, how can I ask the girl for advice? But the officials have a few ingenious ideas, one is about strange rocks, and the other is about flowers and plants."
Mo Yunxiao shook his head, pointed at the strange rocks in the painting, and said: "The official stone is taken from Mi Fu's brushwork. Mi Fu is famous for his painting of strange rocks, but the center of this painting is not the strange rocks, but the playing of the musical instrument
Scholar. If this handsome scholar is surrounded by strange rocks, it would be inappropriate."
Hearing the words "neither fish nor fowl", Zeng Bu's expression changed slightly.
Mo Yunxiao did not notice it, and continued: "If you add flowers and plants, they must also be dead flowers and dead grass, otherwise it will not match the atmosphere of the whole painting. However, if you add dead flowers and dead grass, you have to pay attention to the coloring. If it is too bright, it will be vulgar, and if it is too light, it will be too bland.
It’s lifeless, so it’s not the best idea.”
Zeng Bu was secretly surprised and thought: "The young talents of the official family also think that strange rocks and flowers and plants are not good, but they do not explain what is wrong. But Mo Yunxiao's talk made people feel suddenly enlightened."
"He Lu, in your opinion, what should we do?" Mrs. Wei asked loudly.
Mo Yunxiao looked at the painting and pondered for a long time. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he turned to Zeng Bu and his wife and said, "Master Zeng, Yu Ru, my little sister dared to borrow the four treasures of the study. Is it okay?"
Everyone was surprised, especially Zeng Bu and his wife. They also stood up and looked at each other. "Miss Mo, do you want to add ink to this painting?" Zeng Bu asked incredulously.
Mo Yunxi nodded and said, "That's right. I already have an idea and can complete this painting."
Zhang Yun'er hurriedly said: "Helu! This is not good. This painting was made by the officials, how can we ordinary people change it at will? If the painting is bad and the officials are furious, I'm afraid our family will be destroyed again!"
Zeng Bu raised his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. If Miss Mo really doesn't make up for it well, I can shoulder it. The officials consider me a veteran of three dynasties, so there is no reason to blame her. But... we still need to
Be cautious!'
When he said this, he agreed. So Mrs. Wei ordered her servants: "Go and get the four treasures from the study. I will grind them for Helu myself."
