Chinese dining table

Chapter 340 Are We Bai Ding?
Yan Liben, who has reached the level of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, naturally cannot be called to paint for you casually.

All the portraits on Lingyan Pavilion were made by him, so, with the addition of this thing, Yan Liben's painting skills are known as the best in Tang Dynasty.

Li Shenneng invited Yan Liben to draw a painting for him, but it was impossible to designate a title, he could only paint whatever Yan Liben wanted.

Giving a portrait of a human being like an old god is really flattering Yan Liben, and it is an expression of affirming Yan Liben's painting skills.

Li Yifu killed someone to celebrate the new year before the new year, Yun Chu's family did not kill, but asked Yan Liben to draw a picture on the spot to celebrate the new year, which is also very good.

Yun Chu is fine, Yu Xiurong smiled so much that he was about to twitch, and disregarding etiquette on the spot, he asked Zi Juan to go home and bring all her beautiful clothes and jewelry, and asked Princess Ji to prepare a quiet room for her. To bathe and change clothes.

The old fairy opened the two children's swaddling clothes, a pair of slender hands, starting from the child's heel and pushing up the skin, and asked Yun Chu to watch, so that he could learn this skill and use it on the child when he went home.

Yan Liben's family lived not far away, so Li Shen, Yan Liben, and Naha came back soon after, and Naha carried the eldest and the burden on her back.

Yan Liben kowtowed repeatedly when he saw Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao took a look at Yan Liben and said: "Your brother Yan Lide has already run out of oil, and the non-medicine stone can bring him back to life. He probably has four months left to live. Instead of wasting these four months of precious time on seeking medical advice, why not go to the hospital to find a doctor?" Live these four months happily."

Yan Liben wept and said, "Old Immortal, is it really hopeless? It's not that I doubt the old Immortal, it's that the younger generation is not reconciled."

Sun Simiao laughed and said, "It's just human nature. Your brother still has four months to deal with his funeral. For many people, this is a luxury."

After Yan Liben thanked Sun Simiao, he sighed slightly and began to look at the five members of the Yun family.

The two children are naturally fat, white and cute. Yun Chu's growth can be regarded as a beautiful tree, and Yu Xiurong is not considered the top beauty in Yan Liben's eyes, but she is also generous and decent.

As for Naha, she is completely a Hu family beauty. In three or two years, this child's beauty should be able to shock Chang'an.

The Yun family gathered around the old fairy and looked at Yan Liben with a smile, but Yan Liben started to adjust the color on his own.

Yan Liben's older brother, Yan Lide, has been ill for half a year. The ancestor once visited him once, and after seeing it, he left without saying anything.

This is also the habit of the ancestors. If a patient has no possibility of diagnosis and treatment, he will leave without saying a word. According to him, the reason for not speaking is because he does not want to cut off the patient's last sliver of life.

In the past, the ancestors often met him saying that the patient was hopeless, that the patient would die immediately, and that people who could live for a while would be frightened to death by the old god's words.

The Yunchu family posed around the ancestor for a whole morning. After Yan Liben colored the painting in the afternoon, Yunchu saw the scroll and realized that his family's morning poses were for nothing.

Because in Yan Li's original painting, the body of the ancestor is obviously twice as big as that of the Yun family. It seems that the Tang people's painting technique to highlight the protagonist is to draw the protagonist very large.

The two fat, white and cute children were lifelike with bare buttocks. One was lying at the feet of the ancestor, and the other seemed to stand up, trying hard to reach the little gourd hanging from the ancestor's waist.

Yunchu and Yu Xiurong were the worst, each holding a plate, Yunchu's plate contained some medicine-like things, and Yu Xiurong was holding a small medicine bowl on top of the plate, and the soup in the bowl was still steaming.

The most important thing is that their bodies are only half the size of their ancestors, and they look like two supporting roles.

Naha was the worst, hiding behind a screen with only half of her body exposed, worse than a maid.

The house is extremely tall, the environment is extremely spacious, the ancestor's appearance is extremely ancient, the longevity eyebrows are half a foot long, and the folds on the sleeves of the robes all show Wuyu's extremely cumbersome abilities.

The two fat children are also vivid and lively, but they refuse to use more pen and ink on the Yunchu couple and Naha.

It can be said that the portrait drawn by Yan Liben has nothing to do with the poses the family posed just now, and it was a waste of time.

At this point, Li Shen was still praising Yan Liben's painting to the point where he only took the essence and didn't look at the bones.

Yan Liben himself seemed to be very satisfied with the painting, and respectfully placed it in front of his ancestor and said, "This junior has tried his best, but he still can't show the demeanor of the old god. It's a pity."

The old ancestor just laughed. It seems that he doesn't have a clear understanding of his appearance.

As for Yunchu's family, Yan Liben didn't even bother to pay attention to them. After saluting the old god, he walked away with proud steps, not at all like a person who was about to die his brother.

Yunyu's Xiurong looked at the painting over and over again, with tears, smirks, and agitated expressions mixed in.

Only Naha and Yunchu were very dissatisfied with the painting. The six people in the painting were not at all like the six people present, and they were far from the family portrait that Yunchu needed.

However, Naha is much smarter now, knowing that some complaints are not suitable to say here, and her little face turns red.

With this painting, Yu Xiurong didn't even want a child. Yunchu and Naha had to hug each other. Seeing Yu Xiurong walking in the front very impolitely, she didn't care about her husband who was two steps behind her and Ji Wang Li Shen .

Yunchu's family was sent out of the door by Li Shen himself, and it was only at this moment that Yunchu and Li Shen felt a little heart-to-heart.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Yu Xiurong went crazy, first he bit the two children's buttocks twice, then threw Yunchu down, rode on him and hit him twice, then dragged Naha out of the corner, picked up Naha He rolled up his sleeves and gnawed fiercely, biting Naha until it squeaked.

Then, she felt that it was not very enjoyable, so she called the servants and asked Zijuan to invite her gentle wife quickly. Di Renjie's wife who had just confinement, Ms. Gongsun, who was single and brought a baby, rushed to Yun's house. Appreciation Conference.

Entering the gate of Jinchangfang, I felt that the guard at the gate, a retired government soldier with missing arms and legs, looked very kind when chasing and killing wild dogs. It was the gold hairpin that Wu Mei rewarded, she felt it was inappropriate, so she threw out a handful of golden melon seeds, Yun Chu took a peek and found that there were as many as three.

The butler Liu Yi came over and threw a white jade plaque on Yunchu's waist to Liu Yi. Liu Yi was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand still, thinking that the owner of the house was going to send him out.

Then, Yunchu finally saw how women prodigal. The candied haws seller said hello, and she took a candied haws from him, and it felt sour after a bite. The one who was going to reward two golden melon seeds gave one.

Seeing Rou Niang running over to see Naha, she felt that the child's plain face was not good, so she took off one of her gold earrings and gave it to the little girl as a reward. As for the reward of two, she was still reluctant.

Just after entering the house, she hugged the cook Sanfei and kissed him fiercely. Originally, what she disliked the most was Sanfei's big, greasy face that seemed to never be washed clean.

Seeing Cui Shi leaning against the wall and basking in the sun, she sat in Cui Shi's arms, put her hand on her chest, and kept saying: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, do you want to touch my heart?" jumped out?"

After the bewildered Cui Shi figured out what was going on, the woman immediately went crazy, and put the needle and thread basket in her hand on the head of Er Fatty who was doing needlework with her, yelling to ask for help. People immediately cleaned up the ancestral hall of the Yun family, and wanted to hang this painting in the ancestral hall as an ancestor worship.

When the hostess is crazy, the back house of the Yun family is in a state of chaos, the housekeeper in the inner house is crazy, and none of the servants in the inner house of the Yun family dares to be lazy, and the housekeeper who knows what happened is crazy. They all went crazy.

In the past, when the three women Di Renjie's wife, Wen Wen's wife, and Gongsun came over, each of them would hold a child, and Yu Xiurong would hold two of them.

It is rare that the child will be turned around in the arms of these three women.

Today is different, Yunchu is holding two children, and there is a fat girl Yu Nuer standing in front of his legs, Di Renjie is holding his own fat child in his arms, gently hugging Gongsun's son, and his own son is standing in front of his legs, The three big men looked at each other.

As for the four women who were laughing in the flower hall, they could still hear the sound of the gentle wife ordering the servants to heat up the wine. It seemed that they had already started to drink.

Naha stood behind Yunchu aggrievedly, and kept rolling up her sleeves to show her elder brother the tooth marks bitten by her sister-in-law.

"Not at all!"

Naha finally spoke her mind.

Di Renjie, who has always been based on facts and the law as the yardstick, was the first to say: "The highest level of painting is between similarity and non-resemblance. Only by taking the marrow and bones instead of flesh and blood is a master painting The way.

Yan Gong's "True Face of Taizong", "Picture of Eighteen Scholars in the Qin Mansion" and "Picture of 24 Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion" are vivid and lifelike.

It is extremely rare for Yunchu to get Yan Liben to do portraits for the whole family this time. "

Rourou was scratched by Gongsun's son, who was annoyed and said: "Yunchu only wanted to leave his own image for future generations, but he didn't think about leaving a painting.

Di Renjie, don't think that you have been recommended and praised by Yan Liben, so you can praise others casually without integrity. "

Di Renjie said angrily: "A certain family doesn't talk to Bai Ding about painting."

Wen Rou said angrily: "My family has three officials, how dare you call me Bai Ding?"

Di Renjie took out a piece of tortoise shell from his bosom and handed it to Rou Rou: "Read this inscription and listen."

Yunchu and Wenrou looked over and saw that the tortoise shell was engraved with symbols, which looked like characters. After looking through it for a long time, they didn't recognize any of them.

Di Renjie said contemptuously: "You are said to be Bai Ding and you still refuse to admit it, and you can't even read a small inscription. How can you have the face to talk about Yan Gong's paintings here!"
