Chapter 68 Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter in 'Four Views'
Chapter 68 Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter in "Four Scenes"
Xu Qinen, the student who manages the History Department of Wanjuan Pavilion, is an old man in his sixties. The Xu family has a great business, but they often do not interfere in the affairs of the government. Even the changes in the royal court, they never interfere in the affairs of the Xu family.
The Xu family's motto is: "Take care of yourself."
For thousands of years, it was rare for a few families to be able to be in the imperial court, but to be isolated from it. The Xu family, from Xu Qinen to the naive Xu family, all abide by these four words of family motto.
——"Take care of yourself."
The Xu family has recorded the changes in various eras in detail. Nowadays, the changes in the wind and sand in Buyang City have also been recorded in detail in the volumes of the Xu family.
The number of casualties, destroyed houses, trees in Buyang City... The Xu family is diligently updating the data. Every day, no matter how chaotic the city is, there are people from the Xu family who report the data to the Historical Records Department.
.
The Xu family has a common name given to them by the outside world - "the eyes and hearts that do not admire the city". Because the people feel that what they record is real and the truth. It is like observing the world carefully on their behalf.
, and carefully feel and record in detail.
…
Ever since Cai Li went to the Hongdian Palace, the only two people left in the small world of Jiongye Mountain were Changjing and Cuibeard. They were the two of them here before, and they never felt lonely. Now, Cai Li has come and gone, but they have
I felt a little lonely. I couldn't smell the aroma of food for the whole day.
"To be honest, it's a bit wasteful for you to use "Four Scenes" to wrap cooking cakes. I look at the painting, it's not bad." The book boy Chang Jing said to the painting saint cooking beard.
"You even said that. You and I have been seeing each other day and night, but you don't know that I have drawn more than a thousand pictures of the "Four Scenes"? You are obsessed with your Wei Bian. You don't care about me at all.
I never noticed." Cui Beard complained.
How long is a human lifespan? No one can estimate it.
"Of course it's for cooking pancakes. When have you ever seen me worry about my livelihood? If you take a random piece from here and put it outside, which one can't exchange for a lifetime of glory and wealth? If I were really a painting,
If a painting is sold for such a low price that you can't even eat enough, it can only be said that there are too many blind people in this world." Cui Beard finished speaking carefully and sighed.
"You are the only one with the most rotten literary spirit in the world." Chang Jing sneered at Cui Beard, "I suddenly remembered something. Has your "Four Scenes" ever spread to ordinary people outside the world?"
"No wonder I see you. I have "Four Scenes" with cooking cakes every day. I just treat you as a picture and use it again and again. I'm surprised, why is this picture not soaked by oil stains? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk,
What a luxury." Chang Jing said, sighing, "You make those meat and wine stink.
, what do you think? You are more wasteful than them. Relying on your talent, you don't take the suffering in this world seriously. It's just those admirers who understand the artistic conception of your paintings and know that you treat them wantonly.
I don’t know how to feel about your own drawings.”
There are always people who are not willing to live for decades. They try to live longer than the sky with their own efforts. Just like the human splendor and auspiciousness of Fenghua City, Xu Qinen thought.
There are always people who think that they can change their fate against the will of heaven with just human power, which is why the current situation of catastrophe in various countries has occurred. From the beginning of the world, there are always people who are unwilling to abide by the eternal order established by the heaven and earth and try to change it.
In the Xu Mansion, the "Four Scenes" - four pictures of spring, summer, autumn and winter, stay quietly in Xu Qinen's study. He would look up every time he had free time.
In Xu Qinen's view, these people who kill children are no longer individuals. They are like bodies walking in this world, only doing things that are against ethics.
Are these people heartless?
…
"What's the point? As long as you can appreciate the flavor and eat it with food, that's the best use of that picture." Cui Beard thought for a while and said, "Why do you think I want to draw the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter? Because there are four seasons.
The scenery is different... I usually paint according to the season, record my mood according to the season, collect fruits and vegetables according to the season, farm and fish according to the season, and follow the season.
Eat at the right time, work and rest at the right time... If you are consistent with the four seasons, this life will not be wasted... Those who truly understand me will understand the feeling. I don't need to worry about it. As for when, where, and who...
That is also something beyond my control. I just ask for the response between my heart and the universe."
He is already old. As a historian who has followed his family's motto since he was a child - "keep to yourself" until he gets old, all he can do is record this matter in detail. He sent many Xu
The family's descendants and staff went to inquire about the whole matter and presented their case to Buyang City.
Bodies were piled up outside the city, and it was too late to be cremated. Countless people were killed because of the kidnapping.
"If you ask this, although this set of pictures has been drawn for more than 4,000 times, there is only one set of spring, summer, autumn and winter that has been circulated to the outside world." Cui Yan recalled, "Buyangcheng Xu Qinen has a set at home, and it is the only one outside.
A set of.”
When Xu Qinen had sorted out the whole matter, he presented a memorial to the emperor Duixi. Duixi read it and had mixed feelings. Duixi was also old, Xu Qinen thought. Like himself, he did not move much.
The movement of heaven is constant, and it does not exist for Yao, nor does it perish for Jie.
People from the Xu family also infiltrated into Fenghua City. The news they conveyed shocked Xu Qinen.
Death is a part of "eternity". If we look at human beings as a whole, there are always people born and people dying - but human beings are immortal and exist relatively eternally. A person's life may only last a few decades.
, but humans have lived for tens of thousands of years.
Xu Qinen doesn't think there is anything extraordinary about this picture, but it just tells a common truth. Spring, summer, autumn and winter change in an orderly manner, and it does not change based on people. But most people can't understand this simple truth.
That's why I caused so much trouble.
""Four Scenes" contains the scenery of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. If you drew a thousand pictures, that would be more than 4,000 pictures. You have drawn more than 4,000 pictures of this. What are you planning to do?" Chang Jing looked at Cui Beard and suddenly
An extraordinary thought occurred to me: "Is it because the fees in our small world are not enough, and now we need to sell paintings to make a living? No wonder I feel that there is less meat and vegetables recently. You really don't have anything left there?"
In just a few months, the Evian Pavilion in Fenghua City has killed hundreds of thousands of infants and young children. They ignored the lives of these children and used their souls to refine elixirs to extend the lives of some people.
.These people used lust and money to kill hundreds of thousands of babies.
The two of them could only watch this natural disaster coming, but they didn't know what else to do at this time.
In "Four Scenes", the four seasons have their own scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the world in the painting is eternal. The spring is beautiful, the summer trees are lush, the autumn water is chilly, and the winter snow is melting.
The world at this time has lost its original permanence.
