Chapter 493: The Queen's Armor Cannot Be Painted
A painting of [Luo'an Menghuatu] and a book of [Jade Beauty Record].
Let Bai Qi achieve the name of [Painted Armor], and no one in the world can match him so far.
The old owner of Shuya Tower, who was one of the ten best people in the world in the past and could be said to be the one who knew the art of judging people best, commented on Bai Qi: "When he poured wine and was passionate, he left a thick painting, which was half of Daxia."
After the "Jade Record", Bai Qi no longer painted people, especially beautiful women and men. In his own words, "Where can I find beautiful women and men? If there are any, they are all in my Jade Record."
Bai Qi had seen Cai Yunjian, Wenjun, Liu Baishi, Qu Youwei, and even the Taoist nun master of Qingwei Temple, who ranked third on the Rouge List.
Use Bai Qi's own words.
That's all.
Not as good as the beautiful women in the "Jade Women Record" that he had seen all over the world and painted based on his imagination.
But now.
Bai Qi looked at the woman, the woman with a confident smile on her face, his expression froze, his drunken eyes became exceptionally bright at this moment, and he stared straight at Su Changan, without blinking at all.
only
There are too many people looking at Su Changan right now.
White gas is just one of them.
After all, what Mu Xu said was somewhat shocking!
Yunmu Pavilion was built more than a hundred years ago, and it is not that the literati of Daxia are not as talented as the scholars here. It is that the scenery here is too magnificent. Of course, there are hundreds of poems and essays left on the third floor of Yunmu Pavilion.
But until now, there are still only three words "Yunmugao" on the stone tablet outside the Yunmu Pavilion, without any poem or inscription.
It was really because those poems and essays were missing something. Even that huge article of a thousand words was still not good enough to be engraved on a stone tablet. It was not that the article was not good enough, but it really felt unworthy of the Yunmu Pavilion.
But now.
The chief priest Mu said that the article written by the woman named Li Xinghe was worthy of being engraved on it.
Many people were surprised and even more curious about what was written.
After all, this has to convince the people. If it is not enough to convince the people, then even if it is said by the great priest Mu Xu, we have to stand up and oppose it.
Intellectuals have their own persistence.
But at the same time, intellectuals look down on each other unless they are completely convinced.
Therefore, many people were curious at the moment and looked at the woman with a look of dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Someone spoke up at this time: "Master Jijiu, fellow teachers, can you let us know the article written by Miss Li Xinghe?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xu looked at Su Changan.
Su Changan looked at Mu Xu and bowed immediately: "Everything is up to the Master of Ceremonies."
Is Su Changan being naughty on purpose?
Definitely!
Mu Xu was frightened.
That must have been scary!
Mu Xu just looked at Su Changan for instructions, but he didn't expect that the empress would do this. The old scholar was frightened. He immediately bowed slightly in return, secretly sweating, and glanced at the emperor.
Realizing that the emperor was looking at him with a half-smile, Mu Xu took a breath again. The emperor's smile meant that something was wrong!
Thinking of this, Mu Xu smiled at Su Changan, then turned to look at the teachers and just said, "It's almost done, it's time to show it to the children."
Although the teachers nodded after hearing this, their eyes were still fixed on the order in Qian Long's hand.
Mu Xu saw that this group of people had never seen the world!
He squeezed in immediately and took the paper from Qian Long's hand.
The teachers suddenly couldn't see anymore and looked at Mu Xu with frowns.
However, Mu Xu immediately said: "Let's enjoy this wonderful article together!"
Hearing this, the teachers were all stunned. Only then did they realize that they were so immersed in it that they forgot where they were. They smiled awkwardly and stepped aside.
However, when everyone looked at Su Changan, there was respect in their eyes.
For Jianghu people, strength is what matters. No matter how old you are, if you are strong, you will be respected!
Scholars here will certainly treat anyone with courtesy out of courtesy, but since you have outstanding literary talent, you will naturally be respected more.
This has been the truth since ancient times.
Here, the little fat boy looked at the eyes of the people around him and laughed, as if he had known that this sister would make a big splash. It was not that the little fat boy understood Yun Muxu, but didn't this sister say that she could get the zither, anyway, he always believed it.
The girl had her mouth wide open from the beginning, looking at her teacher Gu Quezhi, and found that her teacher was still not satisfied, so she came close to the chief priest to read the poem with praise on her face.
The teachers around were whispering to each other, but they would look at this sister from time to time with expressions of surprise and admiration.
What what?
Isn't it embarrassing?
Why is this happening? What did this sister do? Why do all the teachers look at this sister like this? The words in that article are so ugly that they scare the teachers?
The little bald man had already run to Su Changan's side. Hmm! Although I don't know what happened, I feel very majestic standing here!
At this time, Mu Xu began to recite the article in his hand.
"The old county of Quzhang is in sight, the new capital is in the clouds. The stars are divided into Yizhen and the earth is connected to Muqu."
Mu Xu's clear voice caused the originally noisy room in the pavilion to suddenly become completely quiet, and everyone listened attentively.
Some people even wrote down what was said quickly while listening with their pens in hand.
Even though the teachers had already seen it, they just closed their eyes and enjoyed it.
Gradually.
The expressions on everyone's faces became more and more exciting, with surprise, astonishment, admiration, and sudden realization.
Various expressions could be seen on the faces of everyone in the pavilion.
[Wen Junzi] Qiu Shui'an held his breath and concentrated, trying hard to memorize every word.
When Mu Xu read the sentence: "The mountains are towering and green, reaching up to the sky. The flying pavilions are flowing red, and there is no land below."
Qiu Shui'an turned his head and looked at Su Chang'an with surprise.
Someone even said in a lost voice: "Okay!"
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately covered his mouth.
The recitation of Mu Xu continued, and when he read: "The clouds have dispersed and the rain has stopped, the sky is bright. The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, and the spring water and the sky are the same color. The fishermen sing in the evening, and the sound reaches the end of the evening water. The geese are startled by the cold, and their cries break off at Yunxiang Port."
[Wen Junzi] Qiu Shuian's expression was even more interesting. Looking at Su Changan, the eyes of this Wen Junzi were full of horror.
As for the others, although they were all inside the Yunmu Pavilion, the scenery outside had already appeared in their minds just because of a few short sentences. In fact, the scenery in their minds was better than the real scenery outside.
When Mu Xu read the words "It is difficult to cross the mountains and rivers, who will pity the lost people? We are all strangers in a foreign land when we meet by chance."
Chen Qing bowed deeply to Su Changan.
Then he smiled bitterly and looked at Mu Xu intently.
He thinks very highly of himself!
He passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi at the age of 26, but he never took up an official post because he had to take care of his elderly mother at home. Now, he has no intention of becoming an official. He reads books all day long. His reputation is known throughout Yunxiang, so it is inevitable that he is arrogant.
Even if it was the [Literary Gentleman] Qiu Shuian, Chen Qing was still a little dissatisfied. After all, no matter how good you are, Qiu Shuian, the fact that I, Chen Qing, am not as good as you in poetry and prose does not mean that my literary talent is not as good as yours!
Your poetry, Qiu Shui'an, is indeed great, but I, Chen Qing, also have some good poems. However, since I am not good at this, I have never studied them in depth.
But now
This article was heard here.
Chen Qing was convinced.
As Mu Xu reads, "The mountains and rivers are difficult to cross, who will pity the lost people? We are all strangers in a foreign land when we meet by chance."
Many people were already bowing to Su Changan at this time.
And more and more people are doing this.
Everyone had an incredible look on their face, because after hearing this point in the article, any sentence could become a famous quote!
When Mu Xu read the words "Old but still strong, never give up my heart even though I am old. Poor but still strong, never give up my ambition."
Qiu Shui'an turned around and bowed deeply to Su Chang'an.
Qiu Shui'an never thought about his literary talent, because he felt that people who read saw the world differently, and the words written by these people had their own merits because of the different worlds they saw.
How could Qiu Shui ever be number one on the poetry list? It was just that people liked his writings, so he gained that reputation.
So in his mind, there is no such thing as high or low in words.
But sometimes, the world that some people see when reading is different from that of ordinary people.
When Qiu Shui'an saw the Queen's words "clouds resemble clothes, flowers resemble face", when she saw the words "when will the bright moon appear", when she saw the words "lights are dim".
He knew that the world that the Queen had read about must be very exciting, otherwise she would never have been able to write such pleasing words.
So he once tried to empathize with the Queen and see what kind of world she saw when she was reading. After all, it must be wonderful to be able to write such otherworldly words.
But I couldn't think of it after all.
And now.
Qiu Shui'an looked at this extremely beautiful woman, and what he was thinking was whether the world this girl saw was as wonderful as what the queen saw, otherwise how could these words appear.
One after another.
Those scholars who were just described by the girl and the little bald head as more amazing than each other, at this moment, bowed to Su Changan one by one as Mu Xu recited, with admiration clearly visible on their faces.
Especially, even [Wen Junzi] bowed to this sister.
It’s really amazing!
This made the three little ones dumbfounded.
Although the three little ones are very naughty in their studies, they know the importance of returning a gift.
Although they were not greeting them, they were heading in this direction, so the three little ones tried their best to return the greeting.
But there were so many people replying that it became a mess!
So the girl simply didn't reply.
The same goes for the little bald head.
Only the little fat boy tried hard to bow, but Xia Fengxiang stopped him in the end and signaled that it was not necessary. Only then did the little fat boy stop, otherwise he would have insisted on replying to all the questions.
The girl nervously grabbed Su Changan's clothes, ready to be embarrassed.
But she had never thought of this situation before, so the disbelief was one thing, and the inexplicable tension was another.
Su Changan looked down at the girl, smiled, and then reached out to rub her head, and asked softly: "Is it amazing? Do you believe it now?"
The girl looked at Su Changan and nodded vigorously, although her mind was still blank and she didn't understand why this happened suddenly.
but.
Now she was completely dumbfounded.
I just think this sister is so awesome, she doesn't look like the bad woman who gave the little wooden stick at all~
The little bald head gave Su Changan two thumbs up, as if everything depended on his thumbs.
Su Changan smiled and said nothing more.
At this time.
Mu Xu has already recited the last four-line poem: "The shadows of the idle clouds and the pond drift by leisurely, things change and the stars shift over the years. Where is the literary music in the pavilion now? Outside the railings, the evening water flows by itself."
Of course, Su Changan changed the last prince to Wenqu.
After all, Yunmu Pavilion was not built by the emperor's son, but was built to worship Wenquxing. Therefore, there are often talented men and women in the pavilion holding literary gatherings like today. Therefore, Wenqu is used here to refer to those talented men and women in the past.
Now
Complete recitation
The entire Yunmu Pavilion was unusually quiet.
What a beautiful painted building with pearl curtains.
What a flying pavilion, flowing elixir, flying clouds and rolling rain
What a beautiful evening water flowing outside the railing
Everyone fell completely silent, and all eyes turned towards the beautiful woman.
The three little ones were all extremely nervous because of those pairs of eyes. Even the little bald guy grabbed Su Changan's clothes for no reason. Even the little fat boy nervously ate a bite of snack and then looked around. Everyone was silent, and I couldn't make any noise while eating.
Mu Xu calmly put the paper in his hand into his arms under the watchful eyes of everyone, and then looked at everyone as if nothing had happened: "So I said that this preface can be engraved on the stone tablet, what do you think?"
Bang!
Just when Mu Xu finished speaking.
But it was a crisp sound.
The crowd, who were originally immersed in this eternal preface, subconsciously looked over.
I saw a white mist of [Painted Armor] sitting on the ground, with the paper in front of him soaked by the red wine that had just been poured, and dyed red.
On those sheets of paper were portraits, but none of them had faces.
And each painting seems to be less than the previous one.
but
Only one of them had a face painted on it. Upon closer inspection, it was quite similar to Miss Li Xinghe, but it only had the shape, not the spirit!
But that one was scribbled with a lot of ink and brush, and it was obviously discarded.
Bai Qi didn't care about the people around him looking at him, but still lowered his head and held the pen to look at the paper in front of him that was soaked in red wine.
But suddenly!
White gas bubbled on the paper, and then he took out another piece of paper.
He uninhibitedly dipped the brush on his tongue and was about to start writing. However, when the tip of the brush touched the paper, he seemed to have no idea how to paint and just stopped there.
Everyone looked at Bai Qi's current appearance and didn't know what to say.
But they could see it.
[Painter] Mr. Bai is painting this girl Li Xinghe, but.
It seems that I can't draw it.
Mr. Bai Qi, one of the Thirteen Great Men in the World and the best painter in the world, who can draw all beauties and handsome men in [Jade Record], cannot draw this girl.
Su Changan looked at the white mist and gently opened the fan in his hand.
This person secretly drew me.
Well, a pervert!
Thinking of this, Su Changan stood in front of Xia Fengxiang. His wife is so beautiful, he can't let this man secretly draw her!
Little did they know.
Su Changan gently opened the fan to watch the white gas's movements.
It made everyone present feel inexplicably moved.
…
Ps: I was supposed to take a day off today as I had some urgent matters to deal with at home. I was busy from morning until noon. I took some time to come back and quickly update. The things are not finished yet. I will try my best to have a second update before the evening. Everyone has things to do at home. Please understand. I will try my best to have a second update, but there may not be one, so I just said.
