"Dong dong dong. First time, dear"
Zhao Jinyu heard the knocking on the door, and without even looking at who was entering the room, she casually responded, "Come in."
"Jinyu, it's holiday. What are you doing at home every day? The phone is turned off and no one is there. If I hadn't heard my third uncle say you were at home, I would have thought you were missing!" Chen Junhao opened the door and took a big step. He walked in past Zheng Biao and loudly accused him of not seeing anyone during this time.
Zhao Jinyu turned around, looked at Zheng Biao who was standing aside and was a little confused, and motioned for him to go out. Then he smiled and said hello to Chen Junhao, who looked unhappy, "Junhao, when did you return to Kyoto?" Then he walked into the house. Li Luo, Dong Zhifei and others said hello one by one.
After more than ten minutes, Zhao Jinyu finally finished taking care of the remaining corner. He put down the bristle brush in his hand, picked up the towel on the side and wiped his hands. He looked at the people who were paying attention to his paintings, and their faces were filled with confusion. He raised a rather confident smile and asked, "How is it? Not bad, right?"
Chen Junhao nodded and shook his head, "It's useless for you to ask me. Apart from learning some simple drawings from the teacher in art class before, I can't understand anything too advanced. But even though I can't understand it, I can also feel it. You paint very well. From this Lantern Festival view, I feel a special shock, as if...
How should I put it? It feels like from your painting, you can feel the economic prosperity and affluence of the Song Dynasty at that time, a kind of prosperous and prosperous feeling. Anyway, this is the feeling. "
Li Luo pointed at the clothes on the people watching the lanterns on the screen, "Look, the clothes on each of these people can not only clearly see the difference in fabrics, but also the embroidery patterns are very clear. There are also differences in women’s jade pendants and hairpins on their heads. There are also differences in women’s hairstyles, accessories on their bodies, and the costumes of children of different ages.
Although I am not a history student, I can roughly tell their status from the way they dress. Jin Yu, you must have consulted a lot of information about the Song Dynasty when painting this painting, right? "
"Have you noticed that many of the lanterns have inscriptions on them? This lantern says, 'When the incense remains at sunset, spare your mortal mind' and 'Stop the furnace and do your best to keep your mind firmly tied'. This should be a couplet, right?" ?" Li Junxi's eyes were almost touching the table, just to see clearly the small fonts on the lantern.
"This is not only a couplet, but also a couplet word puzzle. The upper and lower couplets each have a word. Part of the lanterns above are puzzle lanterns. Do you want to take a guess and feel the emotions of the tourists in the painting when they look at the lanterns? That fun!" Zhao Jinyu nodded to the paintings spread out on the table and said to several people with a smile.
When several people heard what Zhao Jinyu said, they all shook their heads and said that they could not enjoy this fun. Are you kidding me? Doing this in front of him, a lover of ancient literature, is not asking for abuse?
This painting of viewing lanterns during the Lantern Festival was created based on what he, his wife, and several nieces and nephews saw and heard while viewing lanterns during the Lantern Festival one year. Although he painted the Lantern Festival, he did not just paint the lanterns. He also painted the urban style of Bianliang City in Tokyo at that time, the buildings, tourists on the street, shops, and even the roadside. Some small vendors give people a clear sense of the living standards, clothing and makeup of people from different walks of life at that time.
His painting "Viewing Lanterns on the Lantern Festival", to put it a bit exaggeratedly, can be used as an important reference material for historians who specialize in the study of house architecture, costume culture or folk culture in the Northern Song Dynasty. This is comparable to their It is much better to go through the information yourself that may contain errors due to the passage of time.
Even if the Song Dynasty was finally destroyed by aliens, he came to the present more than 800 years later because of a strange encounter, but that was the place where he had lived for more than 20 years after all, and his feelings for the Song Dynasty could not suddenly change. can be forgotten.
The Song Dynasty has long since ceased to exist, but he still wanted to use his pen to allow future generations to truly understand the Song Dynasty, which once had a developed economy, a prosperous culture, and numerous romantic figures.
But maybe Zhao Jinyu himself didn't realize that this lantern viewing picture did depict the most prosperous and prosperous scene of the Song Dynasty, but it was beautiful and beautiful. It felt like fireworks blooming, but also like an epiphyllum blooming, dazzling but fleeting. Pass away.
Chen Junhao was not very interested in calligraphy and painting. After looking at it for a while, he turned his attention to the ruler, paste, water, rice paper, tweezers, scissors and other tools placed on a small workbench aside.
He looked at it for a while and asked with some confusion, "There are so many here, they should all be tools used for framing. So many tools seem troublesome, why don't you take them out and hire someone to do it? It would save a lot of trouble." ?”
"I used to take it out and ask someone to frame it, but when I got it back, I always felt that it was a bit unsatisfactory and I always felt that I was not as good as what I did. I bought these tools earlier this year and slowly learned how to do it. Come on, it’s not difficult anyway, I do it myself now.”
Chen Junhao said with emotion, "You have to learn all these, you are really not afraid of trouble."
Zhao Jinyu smiled and joked, "How can you call this troublesome? Do you understand this is fun?"
"If you ask him about firearms and weapons, he will definitely know everything about them. What does he know about these things?" Dong Zhifei said with a smile.
"I don't understand, and you're not much better than me. You still don't understand." Chen Junhao looked like he was not ashamed but proud, which made the others want to say more, but they didn't know how to speak.
But after he finished speaking, he put his arms around Jin Yu's shoulders and said rather arrogantly, "I don't know what the relationship is. As long as our Jin Yu knows." There was an unabashed look on his face. Yourong Yan's expression makes people want to punch him a few times just looking at him.
These few people did not study the art of painting. Although they all felt that Jin Yu's work was extremely rare and very good, they just marveled and sighed. After admiring it for a while, they followed Jin Yu's Out of the studio.
After several people sat down in the reception room, Li Luo joked and complained: "When I came in just now and said I was looking for you, Zheng Biao looked nervous. He was afraid that you would get angry, so he didn't dare to knock on the door loudly, which made us Some of them are afraid to go in and see you."
Zhao Jinyu explained with a smile, "Don't blame him, he always does things according to my instructions. When I draw, I like to finish it in one go. Of course, it's impossible this time, but I still don't want to be criticized by others. interference.
Since the holiday, except for my daily morning exercise, I have put down all other things. I spend fifteen or six hours in the studio every day. To exaggerate, I forget to eat and sleep. I specifically told them in advance that if there was nothing particularly important, people would try not to disturb me during this period.
It is a coincidence that you are here today. If it were a few days ago, I might not have the time to sit here with you. "
"Then your speed is also very fast. I heard that it takes a long time for someone to create a painting. How long have you been here? You guys have only been on vacation for about twenty days, right?" Li Luo didn't study this industry, but he still knew something about it. , the absolute speed of creation like Zhao Jinyu’s is amazing.
"It's okay. In fact, this is the first time I've spent so long on a painting. I used to do small-sized paintings in one go." Probably due to the influence of his master in his previous life, he is also used to this kind of painting and writing speed. , he himself didn’t think it was that special, but in the eyes of others, it seemed amazing.
"I heard from my third uncle that this painting of yours will be included in an exhibition organized by the Ministry of Culture. It's awesome." The Ministry of Culture is different from some low-level organizations. The exhibitions organized by them are not at the same level as those of its members. Association is comparable.
"I was selected this time because my work has been recognized by relevant people, and my age also plays a part in my advantage. The most important thing about this exhibition is to better promote the traditional art of calligraphy and painting in our country and attract more people." Many young people pay attention to traditional culture. Otherwise, with my current reputation, it would be difficult to participate in this exhibition."
"You don't have to be so humble. Who doesn't know that you are a talented young calligrapher and painter?"
Li Luo said with half appreciation and half ridicule. It was also because he was now familiar with Zhao Jinyu, otherwise he would not have said this. Even if it is the same sentence, the meaning contained in it when spoken by the same person is very different.
Zhao Jinyu just smiled and shook his head. He didn't say anything else, but took advantage of the opportunity to change the subject, "You guys came together today, made an appointment in advance?"
"Yes, I have been back to Kyoto from school for so many days. I called your phone several times but it was turned off. I thought I was going to your master's place again.
It was only when I went to Grandpa's place yesterday and met my third uncle that I found out that you have been in Kyoto during this period. Since we are all in Kyoto, why don’t we come out to get together during the holiday? "After Chen Junhao finished speaking, he glanced at him. The meaning was obvious. They all came to invite you. Are you embarrassed to refuse?
If it had been a few days ago, even if Chen Junhao came to invite him, he would have refused. It can only be said that the time they came was really coincidental, and the painting had already been completed.
Two hours later, Zhao Jinyu was already sitting in the private room of Mengdu International Entertainment Club with Chen Junhao, Li Luo and others.
Hu Peng was not interested in the topic that everyone in the room was talking about. He was half-lying on the sofa in boredom. It was not until Li Luo and the others pushed the door in that he finally regained some interest. He couldn't help complaining and said: "You guys But now that we’re here, I thought you guys wouldn’t come, and if you don’t come, I’d be ready to leave.”
"Didn't we already say that we would come over later with Jin Yu," Chen Junhao said as he walked over.
After hearing Chen Junhao's words, Hu Peng couldn't help but smile and defend, "How do I know what you said today is the truth."
The people sitting next to Hu Peng saw Chen Junhao and others walking over chatting and laughing. Before they could take the initiative to speak, they stood up and sat down a little further away, giving up their position in the center. to them, and no one else saw anything wrong with them doing so.
