Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 313
Hall of Liangyi.

Emperor Li Shimin and Empress Changsun are admiring this new work, Qin Lang's Night Banquet, which was jointly completed by the Yan family of the Danqing family.This is a long scroll painting. The whole painting is actually divided into thirteen sections, and each section is actually equivalent to an independent work, a complete story scene.

"The beginning of this painting is the gate of the Zuixian Tower. Lu Chengzong led Fan Yang's Lu family's children to welcome the 44 children of five surnames and seven sects who came first. Look at this Lu Chengzong's white clothes fluttering like white cranes with wings, and Lu's children are all like flower crowns. Golden Pheasant. Those 44 disciples are all dressed in elegant clothes!"

Li Shimin looked at the first scene of the opening scene, and actually felt very sour in his heart. The children of the 44 families with five surnames and seven sects are really handsome, and they are all handsome.The emperor was secretly envious, but in front of the empress, he still mocked them sourly in the end.

Empress Changsun focused on appreciating the painting itself, and did not pay much attention to the story characters in the painting. "The composition of this painting is very interesting. It breaks the traditional composition method, but the same painting shows the activities carried out successively. Although the whole The rhythm of the scenes in the painting is complicated, and the movements of the characters change in various ways, but please look at it, Your Majesty, Yan Qing arranged the guests and hosts properly, densely arranged, and the scenes are connected naturally and coherently, it is a rare work handed down from generation to generation."

Li Shimin paid more attention to the stories he described.

In the opening part of the painting, what he saw was the power and influence of the old gentry of the five surnames and seven clans, especially the intricate relationship between them, which made him afraid.

This Lu Chengzong is just a low-level fifth-rank casual rank, with the false title of county lord, and his position is just a direct bachelor of Chongxian Museum without rank, but he came to Chang'an from Hebei, but he can make troubles, which makes Li Shimin very sad. Displeased.

The picture scroll is very long.

The members of the Yan family, who are masters of Dan and Qing, went to battle together, brainstorming, composition, drawing, etc. are very good. The Yan family are all masters of painting, and they have their own strengths. Together, they created this long scroll of stories like a comic book , just to show their respective strengths.

Yan Lide is good at composition, Yan Liben is good at characters, Yan Mu is good at clothing, Yan Xiaomei is good at utensils and furniture, and Yan Sanlang's poems are also the finishing touch.

In terms of color, it is even more layered.

The eldest grandson sighed, "This color is really amazing. Vermilion, cinnabar, azurite, stone green and white are used in many places. The contrast is strong, but among the many gorgeous and bright colors, there are large blocks of black ink at intervals." Come to unify and coordinate, the distribution of black, white and gray is orderly, the color and ink are corresponding, and the spirit is moving, especially the hint of this night, please see that the Yan family did not describe the night sky, just a red candle can clearly point out the scene. The banquet is held at night..."

The emperor and his wife stared at the painting, looking a little mesmerized.

Li Shimin concentrated on reading the story in the painting, looking at the expressions of the characters, etc. For example, Lu Chengzong's arrogance of aristocrats at the beginning, and then his frustration in the failure of the poem, are very vivid.

Even Yan Liben portrayed the expressions of many people participating in the banquet very vividly.

Even the prostitutes and ladies who accompanied the banquet were as thin as a hair, and the whole was tiny and extremely meticulous.

Li Shimin even recognized the guests at the banquet there, Lu Chengzong, Cui Dunli, Zheng Xuanli, Cui Gan, Pei Ju...he recognized them one by one, and then he carefully figured out the expressions and mentality of these guys at that time Come.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt as if I was there and participated in this banquet.

With the unfolding of the picture scroll and the progress of the story, Li Shimin also fully understood the wonderful story that happened in this lively Zuixianlou night banquet, and even laughed at the end.

Because the story shown in the picture scroll was just as he expected, Lu Chengzong didn't get complacent for a long time, Qin Lang and his prince Chengqian suddenly rushed out, turning the hostess into the main, making the big drama that the Lu family had painstakingly planned into a farce, and instead doing it for Chengqian wedding dress.

The only thing that Li Shimin didn't like very much was that Qin Lang's limelight was too much at this banquet, and he had already overwhelmed the Crown Prince Chengqian.

"Chengqian's three poems should have been written by Sanlang for him, right? At first glance, there is a bit of Sanlang's style, which is completely different from the gorgeous style of palace-style poems in today's literary world." The queen knew very well that Chengqian Although he is also very clever, he can never write such a good poem.

"I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is exhausted. This is really a bit of Qin Lang's behavior. I heard that this kid spent a lot of money, bought a lot of wasteland and depressions, and hired nearby people to work. He was very generous. He stewed chicken, duck and fish for the working people, and the money and food distributed are generally higher than the old rules, and he is a master who can earn and create." Li Shimin shook his head and sighed.

"The concubine thinks his chivalrous action is a little too scary. Killing a person in ten steps, not staying behind for a thousand miles, throwing off his clothes when things happen, and hiding his merits and fame. Is this referring to those rangers, or is it an allusion? He took the initiative to resign after presiding over the reform?" Changsun asked.

The husband and wife also couldn't guess what Qin Lang was thinking for a while.

But this long painting of the Yan family gave Li Shimin a deeper understanding of Qin Lang.

This painting made him feel as if he was there, and he also saw a different side of Qin Lang.It was a completely different side of Qin Lang when he faced the saint. The Qin Lang that Li Shimin knew was a little reckless, a little cunning, but he was also loyal and courageous, but he couldn't escape the circle of youth and honesty.

But now Li Shimin saw another Qin Lang from this painting.

A smart and steady, but also alert, even a bit scheming, but also showing his sharp edge, with the aura of contemptuousness.

"This kid usually hides a little deep!"

"The concubine feels that His Majesty has wronged Sanlang. Sanlang must restrain himself in front of His Majesty. This is his respect and loyalty to His Majesty. But when he is outside, especially on the occasion above, his status and status, as well as the situation at the time The atmosphere and the situation will definitely make him have a different attitude. After all, he is also a prime minister who has quelled several rebellions and presided over disaster relief and reforms, so he must not be angry and arrogant."

"This painting will stay with me and I will watch it from time to time."

"The concubine also likes this painting, why don't I take it and copy it first?"

······
Qin Lang was woken up by the leopard's head licking his face again early in the morning.

After washing up, he rode the leopard head to the Donggong Chongwen Museum, but as soon as he left the mansion, he felt something was wrong.

Walking on the streets of Pingkangfang, although there are 120 Qianniuwei guards, there are still many people around, and the people who approach are mainly scholars.

These people approached frantically.

Someone was still singing loudly the masterpiece left by Qin Lang at the banquet last night.

The soldiers tried their best to squeeze forward, but were blocked by the Qianniu guards.

They took out the scrolls, on which were their own poems or calligraphy and painting works, and held them up high, wanting to pay homage to Bachelor Qin, and wanted him to comment on it.

"Poetry Fairy, Poetry Fairy, please comment on the poems of the younger generation!"

"Shixian, please give me a review!"

These scholars were extremely fanatical, and many of them even called Shi Xian directly.

Qin Lang was in a daze, why did he become a poet?
But thinking about it carefully, in order to suppress Lu Shi's pretentiousness yesterday, Qin Lang wrote a few poems, three for the prince, three for himself, and two of his three poems were masterpieces of poet fairy Li Bai.

Unexpectedly, this action is a bit big.

Not only did he succeed in shocking Cui Lu's group last night, but now he is also famous in Chang'an, which has aroused the worship and admiration of countless Chang'an scholars and common people.

He actually became a Poet Immortal.

Qin Lang was a little ashamed, this was not his own work.

But the more he refused, the more he admired those people. This is what everyone looks like.

More and more people gathered around.

There were even a lot of naked guys with tattoos on their bare arms pushing over. Half of these people were the sons of nobles and nobles, and there were also many sons of wealthy businessmen and landlords. of.

Qin Lang's "Xia Ke Xing Xing" made these people extremely excited.

Ever since, Qin Lang, who had indeed recruited many Chang'an rangers, but also severely punished Chang'an rangers, and the villainous Duke Yi, was regarded by these rangers as the spokesperson.

They sang "Xia Ke Xing" and squeezed over.

The Qianniu guards were a little uneasy.

The captain ordered to draw his sword out of its sheath, set up his shield, and began to string and draw his bow.

If anyone dares to charge and attack Duke Yi, do it immediately.

Two people walked out of the rangers, but Qin Lang saw that they were Lu Guogong Liu Shuyi and his brothers.

Although these two guys said that their father was rehabilitated, Liu Shuyi also became a prince, and he was also promised to bestow the eldest princess, but because they were delayed a few years ago, and now they are still incapable of writing, so they have not been assigned any official duties, and the two of them are free and easy. The two brothers now have money, so they spend generously. In addition, they have the experience of living in the bottom society for several years, so they are very famous in the Chang'an market.

Liu Shuyi has also become a new generation of Chang'an heroes, and he has a lot of fans every day.

"I have seen my brother."

Liu Shuyi is much older than Qin Lang, and he is still Qin Lang's quasi-uncle in terms of seniority, but Liu Shuyi has always remembered Qin Lang's help, so this will only be called a brother.

"Brother Liu, this is it?"

"Brother heard that my virtuous brother is now famous for his poems in Chang'an, and has been respected by scholars and people as a poet, so I came here to congratulate you."

Qin Lang smiled, "Brother is making fun of me."

"Sanlang is going to the East Palace, let my brother and I and the Chang'an rangers clear the way for Shi Xian!"

Liu Shuyi greeted, and the thousand or eight hundred knight-errants who followed the two brothers all lit up their biceps and shouted a few times, which made the faces of those literati who wanted to present poems turn pale. Qi Qi retreated, but secretly despised these people for insulting politeness.

"Brother, please!"

Looking at this scene, Qin Lang felt a little helpless, but he also knew that if he stayed here, he would probably be surrounded in a while.

"Thank you, Brother Liu."

Ever since, thousands of knight-errants chanted that knight-errants lead the way, and 120 guards of thousands of cattle closely guarded Yi Guogong in the middle, but countless literati followed, shouting "Shi Xian Shi Xian" .

Along the way, people kept coming to join the team.

Usually it takes fifteen minutes to get to the East Palace, but today Qin Lang walked on the street for an hour and still hasn't left Pingkangfang!
Liu Shuyi squeezed in front of Qin Lang, and said embarrassedly to him, "My dear brother, my brother is incompetent. There are too many scholars and commoners who came here, and they can't move at all. There are people everywhere. The Drunken Immortal Tower is in front of you. Unvirtuous brother, why don't you go up to Juxian Tower, go upstairs and recite a knight's deed, and also appease the people who came here?"
