Xianggui

A fat old hen was squatting on the grass, with an egg hanging behind the old hen.

Chicken head, chicken neck, fat body, fan-like tail, moiré-like wings, splayed eyebrows and round eyes, small pointed mouth wide open, as if calling "clack da"...

Every part is painted in one stroke, not many strokes, exaggerated and special.

This is the simplest cartoon painting, but it is a "pioneering work" in this era.

The old lady looked at it and laughed too.

Tao Weng asked, "Which picture do you think is better?"

The old lady said, "Of course it's Mu'er who draws well. It's lifelike and lifelike. Doesn't the hen look like this. The chicken Xiangxiang painted looks like it, but it doesn't look like it. How can a chicken grow up like this?" Such."

Sun Yumu looked at Ding Xiang's painting and was amused. This painting is as childish and ridiculous as a little girl.

Tao Weng shook his head, "That's wrong. Ten thousand people draw chickens, and 1 people draw like this. Only Xiangxiang's chicken is unique and unique, and it has vividly painted the chicken's naive state. Okay, OK, OK!"

He raised his head to look at Ding Xiang, his eyes were full of surprise and appreciation, and he made a comment, "The aura is compelling."

The old lady insisted on her point of view, "I still think Mu'er's paintings are good, like."

Tao Weng said, "Landscapes are in the spirit, not in appearance. The most important thing is to have their own characteristics. There are so many flower and bird painters, why is Feng Daozi's flower and bird paintings the most sought after? It is not only his paintings of flowers and birds that look like flowers and birds, It's that he is the most different, and he is good at discovering the characteristics that others cannot discover..."

Ding Xiang was extremely ashamed, a cartoon of a child was so praised by Tao Weng.

Sun Yumu listened to Tao Weng's words, picked up Ding Xiang's painting and looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Grandfather is right, the chicken drawn by the little girl is indeed unique. I lost."

Putting down the painting, he asked Ding Xiang, "What conditions do you propose?"

Ding Xiang had a blush on her face, and whispered, "My elder brother's ideal is to take the martial arts examination, if he has any questions, please ask Brother Sun, please tell him, be patient."

She always wanted her eldest brother to get in touch with Sun and Mu Duo.Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. If Sun and Mu can go all the way, they can also lead their elder brother all the way.

Both Zhu Zhan and Qin Zhen are very good, but they will not take the path of martial arts.Sun Yuhao took the martial arts, but he was not in the army.Qian Fei is both a martial artist and a soldier, but he is far behind Sun Yumu...

Sun and Mu dragged, "I'm willing to bet and admit defeat, I promise you."

Tao Weng looked at Ding Xiang with all eyes.

Before, I only thought that the little baby was smart, but after all, it is a girl, so I just need to give a few pointers.But this little baby is very talented, not only has a superb memory, but also has a great talent in painting, so this cannot be buried.

To train well, one must formally recognize the teacher.

He said, "Go back and tell your elders that the old man wants to accept you as a disciple to teach Danqing."

The old lady was surprised, "The old man wants Xiangxiang to be his disciple?"

The old man had only formally accepted two disciples before, one was Wu Bing and the other was Si Hai.The former won the third prize, and the latter won the first prize.

Tao Weng stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I put the words here, this little disciple will be my most proud disciple."

This lottery smashed Lilac a little bit.What she had been looking forward to for so long finally came true, and she had the urge to cry.

She was afraid that Tao Weng would change his mind, so she hurriedly said, "I'll go back and tell my grandfather now that I will come to formally apprentice to my teacher at night."

She ran home quickly, Ling'er and Hei Wa followed behind.

Seeing that Feifei was still standing stupidly on the big tree and refusing to leave, Ling'er turned back and shouted, "Feifei, let's go, go home."

Only then did Feifei spread his wings and fly over the little master's head.

After arriving home, Ding Xiang shouted loudly, "Mother, quickly find something good, and use it as a teacher's gift."

Mrs. Zhang went out and asked, "What's the apprentice ceremony?"

When she heard that Tao Weng was going to accept his daughter as an official disciple, her eyes lit up with joy, and she asked, "What do you give?"

Ding Xiang thought for a while, "Carve an altar out of bamboo leaves."

Bamboo leaf carving is tribute wine, one of the best wines in Dali, and there is nowhere to buy a jar of 80 taels of silver.Zhu Qian gave Grandpa two altars, but Grandpa is still not willing to drink.

"Two cans of Fengshan Maofeng."

It was also sent by Zhu Qian.I sent four cans, but I was not willing to drink it.

Zhang Shi said, "One pot of wine and two cans of tea, if there is less, I will give you a pair of glass vases."

The glass vase was given by Qin Hai, and it is one of the best decorations in the house.

Ding Xiang shook her head, the apprentice ceremony was mostly wine and tea, the glass vase was too extravagant, New Year's gift or other gift was okay, the teacher apprentice ceremony was exaggerated, Tao Weng might not like it.

Ding Xiang went to the warehouse to pick around, but she didn't know what to pick.

This means that the family has no heritage, except for the fragrance of honey, it is impossible to pick out some things with cultural connotations.

The honey fragrance is also a secret of the family, and it is impossible to reveal it.

When Ding Liren went home and heard about this, his face flushed with envy.What I thought about a thousand times and didn't dare to say, my sister actually realized it.

Ding Zhuang was even more excited, and laughed loudly, "I just said that Xiangxiang can be admitted to the female champion, and they also said that I am bragging. Two altars of bamboo leaf carvings and four cans of Fengshan Maojian are enough for the apprentice ceremony."

Ding Xiang hurriedly said, "Such good wine and tea, I'd better keep half of them for Grandpa and Daddy."

She knew that grandpa would go to see the bamboo leaf carvings if he had nothing to do, saying that he would wait until the Chinese New Year to drink.

Ding Zhuang said, "How lucky you are to have Tao Weng, how can we be reluctant to part with some wine and tea? I gave them all."

After dinner, Ding Zhuang and Ding Xiang put on the most decent clothes, Li Maigao carried the wine, Ding Liren and Ding Lilai each held two cans of tea, and went to Tao's house together.

The old man was very cunning, and he didn't dare to brag on the way there, for fear of changing things.

Tao's study was brightly lit, Tao Weng sat in the upper seat, and Sun Yumu sat on the side.

After a few people went in and chatted, they presented the teacher's ceremony, and Ding Xiang kowtowed and offered tea to the teacher.

Tao Weng encouraged Ding Xiang to learn painting from him on every Tuesday, Friday, and August mornings of every ten days, except for festivals, and practice on her own at other times.

Ding Xiang went to the upper room to pay respects to the old lady, kowtowed and called "Teacher's wife."

Ding Xiang looked at Sun Yumu who accompanied her, and said with a smile, "Should Brother Sun call me 'Master Aunt'?"

Sun Yumu blushed, "It's a beautiful idea."

On the way back, Ding Zhuang was beyond beautiful.I want to find someone to show off, but there is no one on the dark road.I only saw a big man standing in the Huiye Pavilion from a distance, and he disappeared after a glance.

Ding Zhuang had no choice but to sing "Female Son-in-law" loudly.

To save Li Lang from his home

Who would have guessed that he would be number one in the imperial list?

……

When he got home, Ding Zhuang shook his head regretfully, "What happened today, I sang all the way and no one came out to ask."

Ding Liren joked, "Master, this journey feels like a night walk in brocade clothes."

Ding Lilai said again, "People must think that I am drunk and drunk, who would dare to come out and ask. This is also my singing, if I change someone, I will definitely be scolded."
