Chapter 61: The Poem
(Today's third update, please collect, reward, and recommend support!)
"Brother, my mother said she wanted to take a nap. She was a little tired. Maybe she got up too early today!" Facing Helan Minzhi's inquiring eyes, Helan Minyue quickly explained, and glanced at Chen Yi at the same time, and laughed, "Brother, what are you discussing with Mr. Chen?"
"Yesterday my aunt summoned Ziying to the palace. My brother was talking about this with Ziying!" Helan Minzhi seemed unwilling to say too much about this in front of his sister. He immediately changed the topic and said to Chen Yi with a side face: "Ziying, my mother wants to take a nap. Then let's talk in another place and go to my study. You are a knowledgeable and talented person, and you must be proficient in calligraphy and painting. A few days ago, I just got a copy of Yan Taichang Bo's work, so let's appreciate it together!"
"Yan Taichang Bo?" Chen Yi was surprised. He knew that during the Longshuo period, the official offices at all levels of the Tang Dynasty had changed their names, and the names of the six ministers of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of
"Yes, it's Siping Yan Taichang Bo," Helan Minzhi smiled a little proudly. "I believe that Zi must have heard of Yan Taichang Bo's name. His paintings are hard to find. I have also put a lot of effort into getting a painting by Yan Taichang Bo. Today we will enjoy it together!"
"Brother Changju has obtained Master Yan's works, so I have to appreciate them, so that I can also open my eyes!" Chen Yi's interest in his heart was immediately aroused, and he wanted to run to Helan Minzhi's study immediately to see the paintings of Master Yan who was well-known!
The works of Yan Taichang Bo and Yan Liben, Chen Yi lived in very few of them in the later eras. It is said that it is the "Step of the Emperors", "Scroll of Emperors of the Years" and "Tribute Pictures" of his works. Isn't many people suspect that it is not the original works of Master Yan, but the copy of some later people? Chen Yi knew that Yan Liben lived in this era when he traveled through time and is still a high-ranking official. Siping Taichang Bo is the Minister of Works. Yan Liben lives well. Now he can see works that are claimed to be his, and they must be the original works.
Chen Yi also learned from Helan Minzhi's tone that even at this time, it was very difficult for people with the identity of Helan Minzhi to think of a work by Yan Liben, and in fact he would not say anything. Now there is one in Helan Minzhi's study, so you have to take a look at it!
"Okay, let's go right now!" Helan Minzhi smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and took the lead in moving forward.
Chen Yi smiled back and greeted Helan Minyue, who was curious, and the three of them went to Helan Minzhi's study together!
Helan Minzhi did not intend to let Helan Minyue go over, but the little girl was very interested. After hearing her brother say this, she originally planned to go over and see the fun. Now that her mother takes a nap and doesn't take care of her, Chen Yi also invited her to greet her, regardless of her brother's look, and followed her with a smug hug. Seeing that her sister was so excited, Helan Minzhi had to give up helplessly!
The three of them entered Helan Minzhi's study together, and the servants quickly brought tea and snacks and lit incense.
Helan Minzhi's study is quite large, with a lot of books and a lot of calligraphy and paintings. Chen Yi doesn't know whose calligraphy and paintings are. In his eyes, these calligraphy and paintings are very good. If there are Helan Minzhi's works, his impression of this playboy will be greatly changed. And he must be ashamed of himself, his calligraphy and paintings cannot be compared with those in these works, let alone paintings!
Helan Minzhi seemed quite proud of Chen Yi's surprise expression when he saw these paintings, and said with a smile: "Zi Ying, these are all my daily works and graffiti works, please don't laugh!"
"Really?" Chen Yi, who was a little hit, walked to the painting that felt the last, looked carefully, and then turned to Helan Minzhi after a while: "Brother Changju, if this painting is yours, I will only admire you, and I can't see you!"
"Brother Ziying made fun of it. That painting was really not what I did!" Helan Minzhi put away his smug expression and looked self-deprecating: "This painting was made by Minyue, and my painting skills are far inferior to hers. Alas... I have always regarded myself as a talented man, but compared with Brother Ziying, I sigh that my poetry is inferior to that of Minyue, and my calligraphy and painting skills are not as good as that of Minyue. In front of you two, I can only be ashamed!"
"Brother Changju is too modest," Chen Yi took back his eyes from this spring scenery picture, looked at the other paintings that should have been made by Helan Minzhi, and sincerely praised: "The paintings made by Brother Changju are all excellent works, and I feel inferior to myself. Brother Changju must not ask me to paint later. I dare not show my ugly appearance in front of you brothers and sisters, otherwise I will have to be ashamed! Haha!"
"Haha! I'm too modest. You have to leave some ink treasures later. Okay, let's enjoy the painting first!" Helan Minzhi laughed, took out a scroll from a locked box, opened it very carefully, and hung it on the hook on the bookshelf.
In front of Helan Minzhi's hanging painting, Chen Yi looked at the spring scenery picture made by Helan Minyue again. This is a picture of red apricots on the branches and the painting is very delicate, and the spring scenery is vividly displayed on the paper, making people unable to help but be amazed. This is why his vision fell on this painting at the beginning.
Chen Yi looked at the painting, then looked at Helan Minyue, who was showing a proud look on the other side, and couldn't help but show an expression of admiration and admiration.
Seeing Chen Yi looking at her with a strange look, Helan Minyue's little pride in her heart became more and more high, and she responded to Chen Yi with her eyes, wanting Chen Yi to show her hands to her! Chen Yi understood this from Helan Minyue's eyes. Perhaps it was because he wanted to show something in front of the beauty. He did not retreat and agreed to Helan Minyue's request with his eyes. He was thinking about how to show it for a while!
Helan Minyue seemed to understand Chen Yi's meaning, and her lips curled up, with an expression that would not disappoint me.
At this time, Helan Minzhi had already hung the painting and signaled Chen Yi and Helan Minyue to come forward to observe.
This is a picture of early summer scenery. The main view is a garden. The pool in the garden is very open. The willows are swaying around and dancing in the wind. Many of them are soaked in the water. A clear spring flows into the pool from the ditches, and the willows are also drifting with the waves. The lotus leaves in the pond have just emerged, and a few dragonflies are either staying on the tender lotus or flying among the trees.
The paintings that were all original works of Yan Liben that have been preserved in later generations are all figure paintings, but now they see a very outstanding landscape painting. Chen Yi was shocked. What surprised him even more was that this painting was very consistent with the writing of an ancient poem, which was that the poem was specially written for this painting. He had the urge to recite this poem, but when he saw that there was no inscription on this painting, he immediately resisted the impulse and continued to appreciate the painting.
He also thought about how to show off his skills in front of Helan Minyue!
"Brother Ziying, how do you think of this painting?" Seeing Chen Yi staring at the painting in a daze, Helan Minzhi couldn't help asking.
"After all, it is the masterpiece of the master. I can only sigh and dare not make any comments!" Chen Yi said the truth from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm too humble," Helan Minzhi smiled and pointed to a blank place on the right side of the painting, which was the position on the seal of Yan Liben: "This painting is left empty here, and has never written an inscription or a poem without title. I didn't have time to write it in a hurry that day... I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think of a poem that suits my wishes. I wonder if Brother Ying can give me a poem to my brother today and complete this painting?"
Chapter completed!
