Over in Danyang City, people were also notified that they were preparing to transport goods. Although the cost will be higher, the key is higher profits.
Yunze didn't say anything about this. Ye Ziyan could do whatever she wanted. Anyway, they couldn't return to Danyang City for the time being. Of course, Yunze cannot stay in the capital forever.
If the situation goes wrong, he will still leave the capital. However, if he leaves the capital next time, Yunze will not only leave alone, but may also bring many people with him.
For the next time, Yunze stayed in his courtyard and did not go out. On the third day, Fan Hui came to the house, and at the same time, he also brought news that the emperor had summoned him to the palace.
The time to enter the palace was in the afternoon, and Yunze was taken by carriage to the Tai Chi Hall where the emperor was. Fan Hui personally led him to the imperial study of Emperor Song Ji.
As soon as he entered the imperial study, Yunze saw Emperor Jing Song Ji with his back turned to him. He was now wearing a purple embroidered dragon robe. Even if he only saw his back, he gave people a sense of majesty.
Opposite him sat a young concubine, who was holding a gauze fan and sitting there with a slight smile on her face. Emperor Jing Song Ji was painting the concubine.
Seeing the portraits he drew on paper, Yunze felt a sense of admiration in his heart. Although, compared with modern portraiture techniques, the portrait of Emperor Jing is not very good.
However, according to the eyes of ancient people, Emperor Jing's painting skills were indeed at the pinnacle. Although the portraits were only sixty-seven points similar, they were still painted vividly.
This emperor has some similarities with the subjugated emperor of the Song Dynasty in his previous life. At least, they are the same when it comes to art.
Just when Yunze was looking at Emperor Jing's painting in ecstasy, Fan Hui on the side tugged at the corner of Yunze's clothes. Yunze looked over and saw Fan Hui looking a little frightened and anxious, winking at him fiercely.
Yunze came back to his senses and knelt down. Although he felt a little unhappy, no matter what, people had to bow their heads under the eaves.
I am not yet a god, I don't have the ability to turn my hands into clouds, or turn my hands into rain. Now when I should bow my head, I still have to bow my head.
"Caomin Yunze pays homage to Your Majesty! I wish Your Majesty long live, long live, long live!" Yunze bowed.
At this time, Emperor Jing Song Ji turned his head, and his calm voice with a hint of majesty sounded in Yunze's ears.
"Get down, get up and talk..."
Yunze shouted after hearing this. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He stood up and looked up at Song Ji across from him. The Song Ji in front of him looked about forty years old, with slight crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, but he looked somewhat elegant. There is naturally a bookish air about him.
Behind that majesty, there is a more approachable feeling. He smiled at Yunze and said: "Yun Aiqing, you are now the wine-producing wine of my calligraphy and painting academy, how can you call yourself a commoner!"
Yunze looked slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted.
"This is a minor oversight. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Haha... You have just arrived in the capital. It is inevitable that you will make mistakes. Why are you guilty? Come... help me see where my skills are. Why can't I draw a masterpiece like yours? "
Emperor Jing Song Ji waved to Yunze, led Yunze to the easel, pointed to his own painting, and then pointed to the painting next to him that Yunze had painted.
Yunze was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Emperor Jing asked him to come here to ask for advice from him. Judging from his calm expression, there was no hint of displeasure on his face.
This emperor seems to be really an art fanatic. When he engages in art, he even forgets the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. When an emperor asks his subordinates for advice, he is not afraid of spreading the word and making people laugh.
Yunze was a little unsure of Song Ji's thoughts, and he couldn't really give him any advice. After all, he was the emperor. If you really take yourself seriously, you might get yourself into trouble.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger! Even though Emperor Jing Song Ji seems to be harmless to humans and animals now, he might be upset and kill you.
"Your Majesty, your painting skills are absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented. In today's world, I'm afraid no one can beat Your Majesty in terms of technique." Yunze didn't care what Song Ji was thinking, he just opened his mouth and made a fool of himself. Fuck it.
Talk about people when you see them, but talk about ghosts when you see them! Let’s take a good look at Emperor Jing first.
"Haha, really! Yun Aiqing really thinks so, but others say that Yun Aiqing's paintings are masterpieces. Since Yun Aiqing can paint masterpieces, shouldn't he be better than me in terms of technique? "
When Song Ji heard this, his voice was neither salty nor cold. Although there was no emotion, Yunze knew that although Emperor Jing felt a little happy being flattered by Yunze, he also felt that Yunze was slapping him in the face. .
After all, Yunze's paintings are better than his, but he still can't master the skills to paint the characters exactly the same. But Yunze did it.
"Your Majesty, there is actually no skill involved in Wei Chen's technique. Compared with Your Majesty's technique, it is still far behind. The reason why His Majesty cannot draw the characters exactly the same is not because the technique is not good, but because he did not find the right one. method."
"Actually, as long as your Majesty finds the right method, with your Majesty's skills, you will definitely be able to draw a better painting than Wei Chen in a very short period of time."
Yunze quickly made a fool of himself. When flattering Emperor Jing, Yunze had already thought of his words.
Moreover, Emperor Jing's skills were indeed very powerful, but he just didn't master the technique of sketching. As long as he mastered it, he would be able to learn sketching with ease.
After all, Emperor Jing can now draw characters that are 60-70% similar. I am afraid that not many people can achieve this ability alone.
After his deception, Emperor Jing was doubtful. He looked at Yunze and said seriously: "What Yun Aiqing said is true..."
There was even a sense of expectation in his eyes. In the past few days, he had been kept away from home. Looking at Yunze's paintings, he felt itchy. Who wouldn't want to paint a painting like Yunze's that looked exactly like a real person?
Especially for people like him who love painting, they most want to climb a step higher on the road of skill.
"It's absolutely true. If Your Majesty can trust Wei Chen, Wei Chen can demonstrate Wei Chen's skills to Your Majesty on the spot. As long as Your Majesty watches it once, Your Majesty can definitely surpass Wei Chen."
Yunze replied quickly.
"Then what are you waiting for... Yun Aiqing, let me see your painting..." Emperor Jing Song Ji heard this and quickly handed the brush to Yun Ze.
Yunze took the brush without hesitation. He came to the easel, replaced it with a new piece of paper, picked up the brush and started painting. As he painted, he talked about how he painted and what he should pay attention to in those places. Where to draw.
How to highlight the shadow parts, how to highlight the obvious parts, etc.!
Yunze's teaching was not teaching on the surface, because what he just said to Emperor Jing was to demonstrate his own skills, but he did not preach to Emperor Jing.
This can be regarded as saving face for Emperor Jing. In addition, he said that Emperor Jing could realize it by himself, which means that he subconsciously transmitted it to Emperor Jing. You learned it, but it was not taught by me. But you are awesome and you figured it out on your own.
By then, Emperor Jing will not only not feel embarrassed because he was taught by Yunze, but will also feel that he is awesome.
But for the people who Yunze helped him realize enlightenment, he would naturally feel grateful in his heart and would not feel any ill will.
Sure enough, following Yunze's demonstration, Emperor Jing soon felt a sense of enlightenment. He couldn't help but start painting on another easel nearby.
This guy is worthy of being an artist. Under Yunze's demonstration, he was able to draw something that looked exactly like him. Furthermore, the portraits he drew were eighty percent similar.
Then, as he got to know Yunze's techniques and added a few more strokes, the palace concubines he painted were actually 90% similar. Although there are still some flaws, it is already amazing.
"Your Majesty is indeed the most skilled person in history. Wei Chen just demonstrated it, and Your Majesty was able to understand Wei Chen's skills from it. Your Majesty is really good!"
Yunze slapped him with flattery again. This time, Emperor Jing's face was so happy that he let out a loud laugh and said:
"Haha... Yun Aiqing, you didn't disappoint me. I'll reward you! You should be rewarded! Fan Hui proposed that Yunze, a calligraphy and painting academy, hold a wine ceremony. He has both virtues and virtues and won my heart. He has been specially promoted to the calligraphy and painting academy's grand wine ceremony."
Hearing Emperor Jing's words, Yunze was stunned, why was he promoted again so quickly?
Compared with the sacrificial wine, his high sacrificial wine is more than a star higher. The sacrificial wine is a seventh-grade official, and this official can only be regarded as a marginal official position. It's not a regular job, and it has no power.
But the Great Sacrifice Wine is different. This is the official position of the fifth rank, and the most important thing is the official position in the court. The status is equivalent to that of the Imperial Academy's grand sacrificial wine. He is only one level behind the supervisor of the Painting and Calligraphy Academy.
This great sacrificial wine is equivalent to a professor in modern society. Of course, Jijiu is equivalent to a senior teacher, and Middle Jijiu is equivalent to an associate professor.
Emperor Jing was like giving Yunze a second or fourth grade promotion all at once. It can be seen how happy he is at this time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Although Yunze had no idea about this official position, he still had to accept it.
Just when Fan Hui was going to draft the edict, suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the door, and then a crisp voice sounded outside the door.
"Father, if I want to borrow the Imperial Guards again, please give me the Tiger Talisman! I promise that after this time, if I can't find it again, I won't look for it anymore!"
Following this voice, a woman in red walked in quickly, and the maid and eunuch at the door bowed respectfully. He shouted, "Meet the princess!"
Yunze turned to look at the woman entering the door, feeling a little familiar.
Emperor Jing frowned when he saw the woman coming in, his face full of helplessness. It looked like he had a headache. But there is nothing you can do.
Yunze bowed and saluted the woman in red who came in. No matter what she said, she was a princess, and he couldn't ignore her.
"Yunze meets the princess!"
As soon as he said these words, the woman who entered the door looked at Yunze. When she saw Yunze's face clearly, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.
"It's you……"
