Jiapingguan Chronicle

Second Master Jiang and Qi Bo looked at the scroll of pictures in front of them for about a stick of incense before sighing softly.

After they just said in the mansion that Yin Musheng's special skill is painting within pictures, these little guys dragged them to the flower hall. Then Shen Haolin went to the study to get the scroll and displayed it in front of them bit by bit.

Several children very sincerely asked them to carefully identify whether this chart was the so-called picture-in-picture.

After the two people finished reading, they felt very helpless. They didn't know what to say to these children for a while. They said they were uneducated and incompetent. That was not the case. They were obviously familiar with the art of war and could understand it well. In actual combat, I can do it with ease, but in other aspects, I am not so good.

Qi Bo looked at the children standing next to him and saw that they were all looking at him eagerly. He shook his head helplessly and stretched out his fingers to tap each of their foreheads.

"What's wrong?" Xue Ruitian touched his forehead, "Is there something wrong with this painting? Or do we have a problem?"

"You have a problem." Mr. Jiang also went over and knocked on it. "It's your eyes that have a big problem."

"That's right. I heard what you said seriously, why should I not destroy the original painting, but also dismantle it and restore it again? I thought I encountered some incredible technique, but the result? That's it? What a waste of emotions!" Qi Bo looked at it. The children looked confused and patted Mr. Jiang on the arm and said, "Forget it, I'm tired. Let's sit aside and take it easy. You can tell them!"

Hong Ye received the look from Shen Cha and quickly grabbed a handful of Mei Lin. The two of them smiled and helped Qi Bo sit down not far away, and then brought hot tea.

"Okay, I don't mean to blame you. I don't blame those who don't know!" Qi Bo looked at Hongye and Meilin, "You two should listen carefully and see what this thing is."

"What's going on? Is Uncle Qi here? I heard your voice from so far away."

Jin Miaomiao and Jin Jing happened to push the door in at this time and saw Qi Bo sitting alone at the table drinking tea. The others were standing in front of the chart and looking at each other. The brother and sister looked at each other, completely confused. What.

"Look, I guessed right. Uncle Qi is indeed here." Jin Jing came over and looked at Uncle Qi happily, "How have you been doing these past few days? Has our eldest baby given birth?"

"I'm pregnant. I'm so happy to have a daughter. Please give me some tea to congratulate me. That's really what you wanted."

"That's right. It's hard to give birth. Xiaocha has been thinking about it for several days. She doesn't want tea or food." Jin Jing looked at Shen Cha and said, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you, Brother Xiaojing."

"Why did you take out this painting again? Is there any progress?"

"Wait a minute, I have something else to ask you!" Qi Bo looked at Jin Jing, thought for a moment, reached out and grabbed his arm, narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "You...don't you know very well? , what technique was used to draw this nautical chart?"

"I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't bother you, right?" Jin Jing looked confused, "You mean..." "As a literati, don't you understand a painting? "

"Well..." Jin Jing was a little troubled, "I can barely understand the painting. I can understand what the painting means and what it wants to express, but when it comes to the technique, I really can't explain it." He said lightly. Sighing softly, "I understand what you are thinking. Although I can barely be considered a literati, I can only be regarded as half. I have a good understanding of the classics and history, but I am powerless when it comes to calligraphy and painting. You should have heard of it. , Master Huilan put a lot of effort into teaching me, but I didn’t learn it either.”

"When you say that, it seems that there is such a thing!" Qi Bo put down the tea cup, touched his chin and said, "Huilan said that there is a child who is quite knowledgeable, but his paintings are really ugly. How to teach him You can’t even teach me, is that you?”

"Yes, I am my nephew. I am very ashamed." Jin Jing nodded, looked at the few people who were secretly laughing at him, glared at them with pretense, and said aggrievedly, "To be honest, I am also serious. I have studied, but I can’t learn anything. I can understand how others draw, but when I actually draw, I can’t find any way at all.”

"Not even the most basic ones?"

"It's okay to arrange troops and formations!" Jin Jing raised her chin towards Shen Haolin and the others, "It's perfectly okay to draw formation diagrams, but this kind of freehand drawing of flowers and birds, mountains and rivers, it's completely unacceptable." He Looking at the scroll of pictures again, "I can understand that this is a sea chart, and I can also know what the things in this picture represent, but if you ask me to talk about framing techniques and drawing techniques, I don't quite understand. This is me. It’s the worst thing to learn.”

"If you can't learn it, you can't learn it. It's not a great skill." Qi Bo felt tired. In the entire flower hall, except for himself and Mr. Jiang, no one could understand this painting. It's no wonder that they They will all get it wrong. "What do you think that painting is?"

"I think the thing in the painting should match this picture, so we want to take it apart to see what's inside, but we don't dare to do it for fear of damaging it."

"You all think so, right?" Qi Bo looked at Jin Jing and then at the other people who were looking at him. When he saw them all nodding, he spread his hands towards Mr. Jiang and said helplessly, "What is this called? ?Is the simplest disguise the best disguise? Then I have to admit that the person who drew this painting was very powerful, and he should have predicted the predictions of these children."

"It's possible. After all, he wants to hide the secret. It's too obvious, and it will make people suspicious. People like him can easily lead people to another path." Seeing everyone's reaction, Jiang Erye followed Qi Bo's expression was similar. He could only sigh and said, "Let me explain it. This sea chart is a kind of picture within a picture. Your feeling is right, but the direction is wrong."

"Wrong direction? What do you mean?"

"It means that if you don't destroy this painting, you won't be able to see what this painting should look like." Seeing that several children still looked confused, he sighed again and said, "What, you don't understand?"

"I can probably understand a little bit." Shen Cha thought for a while, "You mean that the person who painted the painting will think that someone will find the painting in the future and touch the things hidden inside, and will try his best to avoid damaging the painting itself. Basically taking what’s inside out, but really, without destroying the painting, we can’t see what it really looks like at all, can we?”

"That's right!" Mr. Jiang nodded happily, "That's what happened. That's why I say your idea is right, but the direction is wrong."

"I understand." Xue Ruitian nodded, "Then what should we do now? Should we tear down this painting?"

"Now?" Second Master Jiang and Uncle Qi looked at each other and said in unison, "Go back first to take a shower, change clothes, and then prepare to eat!"
