Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1418 Painting and Poetry

Thinking of the old man of the Gu family, Liu Ya felt a burst of kindness in her heart.Perhaps the kind of family affection that blood is thicker than water is really imprinted in the bones.

Gu Shangqing saw that Liu Ya was thinking, so he said: "You don't have to be nervous. Since we have known each other for a long time, and now we have another family relationship, we should be more cordial."

Liu Ya smiled and took a long breath.Even though she was still a little apprehensive, the journey of more than three miles would not take much time.

Seeing a house appeared in front of him, it was much bigger than the other courtyard in Wangjing Town, but it was not so ostentatious.On the contrary, it is more like an ordinary farmyard, except that there are more flowers and plants in the front and back yards.

By this time, it was almost dark.

Gu Shangqing knocked on the door, and the boy who opened the door saw that it was the young master, so he quickly opened the door, and called two stable boys to come over to lead the horses and carts.

After listening to Gu Shangqing's words, Liu Ya waited until the carriage entered the yard before getting out of the carriage.

She looked around and felt kindness in her heart.I don't know if it's because of the people who live here?Still, the layout is very similar to an ordinary farmhouse, reminding her of the days when she first traveled here.

Gu Shangqing came over, took Liu Ya's wrist and said: "Don't look, just go in with me to say hello to Grandpa."

Liu Ya agreed with her mouth, but her heart was beating wildly.

The layout of this mansion is also very simple, with front and rear courtyards and east and west wing rooms.There is a row of big houses facing south in the back.

Gu Shangqing led Liu Ya directly into the main hall, seeing that there was no one in the hall, he pulled Liu Ya back.He said, "Grandpa should be in the study at this time. It's time for dinner in a while."

"Then I'll just pass by like this, will I disturb the old man's reading?" Liu Ya is not such a tangled person, but now she doesn't know what's wrong, she even procrastinated.

Gu Shangqing glanced at her, and said in a low voice, "You're worthless. That's your grandfather too, why bother?"

Without giving Liu Ya any chance to hesitate, Gu Shangqing dragged Liu Ya to the door of the study, and knocked on the door: "Grandpa, I brought Ya'er here."

The corner of Liu Ya's mouth twitched, and she took a deep breath, feeling that she had no idea.

"Come in." The voice of the old man of the Gu family could not hear any emotion, but it was still as usual peaceful.

Gu Shangqing pushed open the door, but pushed Liu Ya in front, and said: "Ya'er, go in and ask for the best dessert."

Liu Ya let out a "hmm", but Gu Shangqing had already pushed her in.

The layout of this study is not elegant, but casual.The furniture is the kind that looks very functional, and the location of the furnishings is also very comfortable.

For example, there is a low table next to the soft couch. In addition to a set of simple tea sets, there is also a small bookshelf on which you can put a few books that you open at will.

Another example is that there is a step ladder next to the bookshelf. It is more convenient to step on the step ladder to get the books on the top floor.

In addition, there is a pair of scissors next to the flower pot of the flower stand, so you can enjoy the flowers when you are free, and you can also do some pruning at will.

It is the subtlety of these small details that will not make people feel that the house is cluttered, but there will be things at hand when you need them, so the furnishings in the house are casual and comfortable.

Liu Ya couldn't help but feel that the old man of the Gu family usually reads books and plays with flowers and plants here, which is really a leisurely way to cultivate one's self-cultivation.

At this time, the old man of the Gu family was sitting behind the desk, holding a pen in his hand, but he did not write, but looked carefully at the rice paper on the table.

Gu Shangqing pulled Liu Ya and walked over, and the two of them saw that the painting on the paper was a painting of ink and wash.Now it is just a few strokes, and what is painted is a distant mountain range.Look at the snow on the top of the mountain, and the pine branches below the mountain are also layers of white.

But it seems that the painting stopped here, and I can't see what I want to express, but I always feel that the boss is empty in front of me, which is really uncomfortable.

Gu Shangqing looked at it for a long time, and asked, "Grandpa, what do you want to paint in this painting? Distant mountains? Falling snow? Or a pine forest?"

The old man of the Gu family put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Gu Shangqing, then at Liu Ya, then raised his chin to Liu Ya, and asked, "Girl, what do you think?"

Liu Ya is also looking at the painting, and always feels that the painting has a deep artistic conception, and it is not as simple as it is shown now.

When the old man asked her, Liu Ya frowned, then pursed her lips, thought about it seriously, and then said: "Grandpa, I think I already understand the meaning of your painting, but I don't Can draw, can I write it for you?"

"Write? How to write?" The old man smiled, looked at the painting again, then removed the paperweights on both sides, turned the painting half a circle and pushed it in front of Liu Ya, saying: "I want to see it, you How can I write what I want to paint?"

Liu Ya pursed her lips again, took down a small pen from the pen holder, dipped it in ink, swished the pen again, and said: "The handwriting is ugly, don't take offense to the old man." After finishing speaking, she picked up the pen It's about to drop the words.

Gu Shangqing hurriedly pulled Liu Ya's lapel under the table quietly, and said in a low voice: "You write it elsewhere, don't write it on the painting."

Liu Ya neither answered, nor listened to Gu Shangqing's suggestion, but started to write "swipely".

Gu Shangqing couldn't help but frowned slightly, her heart froze.

Others don't know, but he knows the old man of the Gu family best.The old man has a quirk. He likes to paint, but he doesn't paint easily.

I always paint impromptuly when the artistic conception and thoughts have arrived.And it needs to be done neatly and in one go.

If there is a slight pause in the painting process and I feel that the original artistic conception cannot be drawn, I simply tear up the painting and discard it.

Therefore, the paintings of the old man of the Gu family are also a school of their own in the capital and are very famous.

But now Liu Ya actually wrote the words directly on this unfinished painting. If the old man's interest in painting is disturbed, Liu Ya must be angry.

But if the old man's painting is finished, but he feels that Liu Ya's handwriting is not good, then... Should the painting be torn up or kept?
Gu Shangqing is still worried about Liu Ya, Liu Ya has already written a few lines of poems in full swing.

After finishing writing, Liu Ya put down the pen, turned the painting back half a circle, pushed it back in front of the old man, and said, "Please take a look, is this what you want to express?"

"Birds fly away in a thousand mountains, and people disappear in thousands of paths. A man in a lone boat and hat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow." The old man read it slowly, but after reading it, he was silent for a long time.

After hearing the old man finished reading, Gu Shangqing was stunned for a moment, then pulled Liu Ya's sleeve under the table and asked, "You wrote this poem?"
