Seeing a note in the cover, Li Yi's first reaction was whether Mr. Liu knew it, and his second reaction was that no matter whether he knew it or not, he could read the content on the note first before judging.

The note was very small, less than three fingers wide, so there were not many words on it, probably only twenty or thirty. However, the meaning represented by these two short sentences almost made Li Yi scream without surprise.

Because what is written on it is the original copy of the painting "Pine, Cypress, Eagle" he just bought not long ago!

Li Yi remembered it very clearly that at that time, Zhong Haoqing had asked Mr. Liu about the real question of fake characters in the matching couplet, but Mr. Liu clearly stated that he was not aware of it and was also extremely confused.

But unexpectedly, the answer would be here, and, the strangest thing is that it has always been in the hands of Mr. Liu himself!

However, even if all this unknown sum should not surprise Li Yi so much, he was still frightened by the big guy. That's because the content told in this note revealed a shocking secret to him!

According to the notes, the old man Bai Shi did write two of the couplets in a short period of time, and the one that appeared was specially written for him at the request of a friend!

And the name of this friend is called Baoshi!

His name is Baoshi, who can become a friend of Mr. Baishi and ask him for couplets he has written once. And Mr. Baishi is willing to write to him... Except for the master Baoshi who is good at landscape painting, his painting skills are enough to establish a school, and even created a unique method of shading and stone texture, Li Yi really can't think of a second person!

But what does the second couplet represent? You know, the second couplet was used to match it with an imitation painting. And the author of that imitation painting is Ding Yi!

According to this reasoning, then more than 90% of Fu Baoshi's generation may be Ding Yi! Moreover, according to age and time reasoning, he is likely to be the successor after Wu Changshuo!

Is Fu Baoshi actually Ding Yi? He also imitated the old man Bai Shi and drew a famous painting he created in 1946. For this imitation painting, he even asked him for a couplet of characters. What do you want to do?

Li Yi dared not think about it, nor did he want to think about it, because every possibility he thought of next was probably an insult to the master of Baoshizhai!

But... Could it be that after Fu Baoshi got the couplet, the couplet flowed into the hands of others?

No, Li Yi frowned suddenly, and there was a huge flaw in this matter!

Because, he suddenly remembered that such things not only gave a couplet that had been written and published, but also gave them to everyone like Fu Baoshi. Friend, Mr. Bai Shi should be remembered openly in his notebook!

But why can't a single word be found in the normal records? Now he sees a small note on the page that is deliberately hidden but records the truth?

The records are not made public, but secret memos are left behind. What does this mean?

Li Yi thought of a possibility, that is, Fu Baoshi wanted to use Qi Baishi's couplet to do a secret thing, and Qi Baishi also knew about this secret thing, and it is probably because of his knowledge that he made an exception to write an exact same couplet for him!

Fu Baoshi imitated paintings, accompanied by a couplet written by Mr. Bai Shi himself, and then used them to do a secret thing...

Are you cheating? What a joke? The combination of the two swords of the owner of Baoshizhai and the old man Baishi will be regarded as a decent imitation. It is impossible to think of it!

Li Yi scratched his scalp. This matter is a bit brain-burning, very brain-burning...

"Xiao Li. What's wrong?"

His abnormality quickly attracted the attention of Mr. Liu, who had been paying attention to him.

"Oh, no, nothing, just a little excited..."

Li Yi showed a smiley face to Mr. Liu that was even worse than crying. He didn't have enough brains, but he wanted to share the secret with these two old men who had a hundred times more experienced than him. But how should he explain? You, the secret that you haven't discovered for decades, was seen through by him just now?

Card, what is the difference between this and seeking death?!

Since the matter cannot be explained, Li Yi simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he has grasped part of the truth now. If he pays attention in the future, he may have a chance to uncover the mystery.

In fact, it doesn't matter even if it cannot be revealed. Both masters have passed away for many years. Even if they were the former masters of Ding Yi, who had been through hundreds of years and specialized in using imitation and famous paintings to make profits, even if they had done something bad with the imitation, it would seem that there would be no great significance for them to die and to be buried in the soil.

But... Li Yi suddenly remembered that Zhong Haoqing once told him that whether it was Ding Yi or Bing Yi, these people should be controlled by a guy named 13. Under the leadership of 13, they were willing to make some living by imitating and forging works by famous artists. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, how powerful and magical should this 13 be, so that figures like Wu Changshuo and Fu Baoshi, who are a master-level figure, are willing to obey his orders and willing to imitate and make fakes...

Could it be that it is really as the master once said that the 13th generation of that generation was the prince?

No one can answer this question, and it is likely that it will be more difficult to find the answer than to uncover the secret of this couplet, because even if it is openly admitted there, its credibility is difficult to guarantee.

This question is too entangled and too big, so Li Yi decided not to worry about himself. It was going to rain and his mother wanted to get married, so let them go!

Although it is complicated to write, in fact, it took Li Yi a total of less than half a minute to figure out these things. Therefore, although Mr. Liu noticed that it seemed a little wrong with him, as soon as Li Yi explained, he quickly believed what he said.

"In this note by Mr. Bai Shi, some of the techniques are really useful. Even the old man who is not familiar with calligraphy and painting can be inspired by me. It's okay, don't worry, read it slowly. As long as you have time, it will be fine for how long you want to watch it!"

Li Yi nodded, calmed down, and opened the notes.

The first page of the notes is a landscape painting sketch drawn by pencil. Because of the age of time, some places are no longer particularly clear, but overall, you can still see the painter's own intentions clearly.

Judging from the layout of the picture, the author's idea is quite messy, and there are signs of modification in many places. Moreover, the proportions of some sets are not even right. It can be seen that this should be just a preliminary idea.

When I turned to the second page, there was still a sketch, but the picture suddenly changed and became orderly. Some parts were drawn in very detailed, but there were also several layouts, which still shows that the author was still hesitating.

The next third page is basically the same as the manuscript, and there is almost no modification. On the fourth page, several comparisons of the solutions in several key positions are drawn, and the old man Shiraishi also briefly marked the reason for his choice below.

After reading the four pages of notes, Li Yi closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath of turbid air. Old Man Bai Shi, he was using notes to teach.

"It is teaching and also a process of clarifying one's own thinking. Many times, a large-scale creation often takes two or three years for the painter. During these two or three years, you may have several different views on the same issue. At this time, the role of this note is highlighted. It can allow the painter to see his own mental journey at that time, thus strengthening his confidence and making the best choice. Xiaoyi, you should also make such notes in the future."

Over there, Zhong Haoqing also finished reading a paragraph. Seeing Li Yi’s reaction, she pondered for a moment, and then began to teach quietly.

Li Yi nodded. Now, his paintings cannot reach this depth, and the theme of the picture is only based on relatively simple and single flowers, plants, trees, mountains and rocks. The layout is relatively simple. There are relatively few relatively advanced techniques such as far and near scenes and light and dark contrast. Therefore, strictly speaking, he cannot be called a painter. He just pushed open the door.

However, if you create it next, the pictures you just saw should have a greater inspiration for him.

Therefore, he read the remaining notes carefully, and there is also a big expert Zhong Haoqing who can ask questions and guide him at any time, which will naturally benefit a lot.

In the middle, the two of them had a lunch with a mountain wild vegetables at Mr. Liu, and then they spent about three or four hours before finally reading these two precious notes.

"Many times, we pick up bargains, collect them, and even our creations are a kind of fun. But I think it's a little wrong since you went to Europe and came back. Xiaoyi, you are still young, and even if you want to do something, there is no need to be so anxious..."

On the return bus, Zhong Haoqing saw that Li Yi was in a good mood, so she smiled and pointed out. Everyone, what kind of road to choose and how to walk on this road better is a big question.

The biggest difference between ordinary children and those aristocratic families is whether there are any people who can provide timely guidance and correct guidance on some important choices on the road of life.

And this is what Li Yi, who was born from an ordinary person, lacked before, which also created his current personality.

Although it is easy to change the country and difficult to change nature, as people grow, with the changes in their work and living environment, especially the sublimation of their surrounding circles of friends, there is also a saying that they can cultivate the body and move their energy.

Therefore, Zhong Haoqing believes that as time goes by, many of Li Yi's personality imperfections will gradually change. In the process of reshaping his personality, try to guide and help him as much as possible. This is the most important thing she should do as a master. (To be continued.)
