Chapter 192 Charcoal Painting

On the opposite side, Gu Qingyun was eating food in a gentle manner. At such a young age, Lin Xue didn't bother to target her. Gu Youyun was a concubine, so she didn't have the right to be hated by her, but Gu Xiaoyun and Gu Fuyun's two sisters were particularly irritating to her.

After lunch, the head of Jiahe County led everyone to the flower house to enjoy the flowers.

The head of Jiahe County loves flowers very much. Not only did he plant all kinds of rare and exotic plants in his yard, but he also cultivated many rare and precious flower species in his greenhouse, all of which are rare and rare in the market.

The flower house in the Princess's Mansion is very spacious, covering an area of ​​more than three acres. Not only is there a greenhouse, but there are dozens of servants who are responsible for planting flowers and weeding.The rare and precious plants in the greenhouse are in different poses and with different expressions, making people dazzled.Although Gu Fuyun doesn't know flowers, but so many plants, red, blue, green, pink, and ink are crowded together, arranged neatly and unevenly, it is really pleasing to the eyes and a proper visual enjoyment.Gradually, it also attracted the attention. Whenever I saw a rare flower in the world, I stopped to watch it.

But Princess Scorching Sun was even more powerful. Stimulated by these rare and exotic plants, her poetry flourished, and she immediately recited a seven-character quatrain.

"Even though the winter wind is cold, it is also full of love, and it is full of purples and reds."

Everyone applauded this poem carefully.

The county magistrate of Jiahe was inspired, and announced to everyone with a smile, that next, everyone will take turns to write poems, starting with a pot of black chrysanthemums.

Some ladies with poems and books applauded loudly, and Lin Xue was also gearing up. If she could get this pot of ink chrysanthemum in the Princess's Mansion, it would not only shine brilliantly, but also be the stepping stone to successfully step into the circle of top noble women. There is already a poem prepared in advance.

Gu Fuyun said with a bitter face: "I don't know how to compose poetry, that's all, I won't participate. Come, come, Princess, I'll study ink for you." His face was dogleg.

The corner of Lin Xue's lips smiled ironically, this is the style of the first daughter of the uncle's mansion!

Princess Jiaoyang smiled and said, "You can draw."

The Lord of Jiahe County also smiled and ordered the servant girl to fetch painting tools, and said to Gu Fuyun, "Yes, those who don't know how to write poetry can paint." Famous, all have a lot of money.

The Gu family sisters have not worked hard in this area, but they still have a little bit of calligraphy and painting.Gu Xiaoyun chose to write poetry, while Gu Shuyun and Gu Qingyun chose to paint.

Lin Xue was overjoyed, she really dozed off and had a pillow, not only could she compose poems, but she could also draw.

The county magistrate of Jiahe asked people to move tables, chairs, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, as well as table cases, and put them in the open space of the flower house. The ladies took pens, dipped them in ink, and thought hard about their favorite flowers.

Gu Fuyun picked up the brush, drew a stick figure, then put down the brush, and smiled to the maid beside him, "Do you have any charcoal in your residence? Can you bring me some charcoal?"

The servant girl froze for a moment, then nodded, and went to fetch a few pieces of charcoal.

Gu Xiaoyun wondered: "What are you doing with charcoal?"

Gu Fuyun said: "I am used to drawing with charcoal."

The painting style of Dasheng Dynasty is good at ink painting, especially famous for landscape painting, but Gu Fuyun only learned sketching, of course he has to draw what he is good at, although he does not have pencil, but it is also possible to use charcoal instead.

The county magistrate of Jiahe asked someone to light incense, but after only half a stick of incense, someone made a poem, and it was Lin Xue.

Everyone was startled and thought to themselves, this young lady from the south of the Yangtze River should not be underestimated.

Lin Xue, who was good at painting and poetry, looked around and saw that Princess Jiaoyang, who was well-known in the imperial capital, was still painting with her head down. She smiled complacently, and then looked at her own poems and paintings. But her poetry is absolutely blockbuster.

A stick of incense was quickly lit, and the ladies also finished their poems and paintings.

Only Gu Fuyun was still immersed in painting, and said: "Wait for me a while, I'm not finished yet." Her drawing speed is really slow, who said that the basic skill of sketching is to create shadows?
Lin Xue stayed far away from her, seeing her continuously brushing on the drawing paper with her sleeves rolled up, she couldn't help smiling triumphantly.You stole the limelight just now, let's see how I can dampen your prestige this time.

The head of Jiahe County laughed and said: "Look at your speed, I want to see what kind of thing you are painting." Then he surrounded him.

Although everyone has heard that charcoal can be used in paintings, they have not seen it with their own eyes, so they gathered around.It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, all of them exclaimed.

"Oh my God, Gu Wu, how did you do it? Look at the delicate lines, the arrangement of thick and thin lines, and the overall layering. Wow, it's so layered." A lady exclaimed.

The princess of the sun also covered her lips and exclaimed: "Look at the natural rhythm, and the capture and arrangement of light and shadow. Gu Wu, how did you get the reputation of being ignorant?" Such a vivid painting level , How could it be an ignorant person.

Gu Fuyun smiled guiltyly: "I only know this kind of charcoal drawing, and I don't know anything else." She only learned sketching for a few years, and she was still a student, and she only studied for a few years in order to get extra points for the college entrance examination.Although I passed the test, there is still a big gap compared with professional painters.But sketchbooks are brilliant pearls invented by Westerners. Sketches pay attention to three-dimensionality, natural rhythm, and overall sense of hierarchy.The ancients were good at ink and wash painting. Ink and wash painting pays attention to the painting of form and monochrome perspective, using point, line and plane as the basic elements, using various means and using their own language to shape, shape space, express texture, create artistic conception, etc.

Gu Fuyun, on the other hand, focuses on the realistic painting method of restoring things, so her paintings don't have much soul, but the realism is real, and the speed of restoring the things themselves is extremely slow.

The county magistrate of Jiahe also stepped forward, and was also shocked when he saw Gu Fuyun's painting method.

Looking at Gu Fuyun who was surrounded by young ladies, Lin Xue couldn't sit still any longer, she also stepped forward and stretched her neck to watch her paint. Because the distance was far away, she could only see the pitch-black area, and couldn't help but Pursing her lips, she watched the princess of Jiaoyang staring at Gu Fuyun's painting with dazed eyes, feeling a secret hatred in her heart.

After painting for a full hour, Gu Fuyun finally finished painting the Eighteen Scholars plant. Although it was only in black and white, the painting was indeed exquisite, delicate, with smooth lines, thick lines arranged reasonably, and distinct layers. There is a sense of three-dimensionality, whether it is viewed from a distance or from a distance, it is all realistic.Although it lacks a little soul, this almost restores the realistic painting method of the thing itself, but it stunned everyone.

Princess Scorching Sun picked up the drawing paper, looked at it again and again, couldn't put it down, and kept asking: "Gu Wu, you girl have kept us a secret."

Later, everyone began to judge the new poems, and Lin Xue's poems really came out on top, but her paintings were just average, so the Jiahe county lord still gave her a pot of ink chrysanthemums.

The foreign lady actually overwhelmed the local noble lady, and everyone looked a little dull.Fortunately, Princess Scorching Sun's painting was unanimously praised by everyone.Although Gu Fuyun's charcoal painting wins with novelty, but the painting is too slow and lacks some soul, so it can only be placed second, but it is an honorable defeat.

However, Lin Xue, who won the top spot, was far less popular than Gu Fuyun. Seeing that everyone was circling around Gu Fuyun's painting, she almost bleed with hatred.

In Lin Xue's eyes, this Gu Wu was born to restrain her.
