The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1900

[Chapter 1900 Qi Xuan Fanwai (58)]

In the warm spring, the leaf buds of the leaves slowly stretched out, and the dry grass also pulled out the buds vigorously. Everything seems to be alive.

Qi Xuan felt something, and drew a picture of early spring. However, Tang Mo’s evaluation of this painting was not high. Because Qi Xuan’s landscape paintings are always inseparable from Pang Jinglun’s shadow.

Hearing this comment, Qi Xuan didn’t care, and said with a smile, “Just paint it casually.” People around him, including Aunt Dou, said that his characters were well drawn. Therefore, Qi Xuan now specializes in figure painting. Landscape paintings or flowers and animals, he now paints less.

Tang Mo also knew that Qi Xuan had studied with Peng Jinglun for so many years, and it would be difficult for him to completely get rid of its influence. This has to be done slowly.

It is also fortunate that Pang Jinglun never painted figure paintings, otherwise he would have been deeply affected by Qi Xuan.

After the two finished talking, Qi Xuan went back to his home. In order to facilitate communication, the two courtyards were opened up.

Back at home, Qi Xuan saw Concubine Dou’s eyes were red, and hurriedly asked, “What’s the matter? Who bullied you?”

Aunt Dou wiped her tears; “No one bullied me, I just miss Yikang. After two years of separation, I don’t know if the child still recognizes me after returning to Beijing?”

After I moved to the county seat, I bought food and clothing and didn’t need to grow my own. The two entourages of the Tang family will do the rough and heavy work. Aunt Dou only needs to cook three meals, so she is relatively free.

Now that she is free, Aunt Dou misses her children very much. Sometimes I think I can’t sleep at night.

Qi Xuan said: “Or else, you go back to the capital first.” He also missed his parents, wife and children, but he couldn’t go back for the time being. But if Aunt Dou wants to go back, that’s fine.

She misses her son and is reluctant to be separated from Qi Xuan. After struggling a lot, Concubine Dou still shook her head and said, “I want to go back with you.” The child would be fine without her in the palace, but if he went back now, it would be impossible to live like a husband and wife with the prince in the future.

Qi Xuan patted Concubine Dou’s hand and said nothing. But when he got to the studio, he wrote a letter asking Gu Jiu to send him back to the capital.

Gu Jiu didn’t answer the letter, but asked: “Isn’t the letter trying to tell the Queen Mother, do you want to go back?”

Qi Xuan nodded. Although he knew that the probability of Oak-hee agreeing with him to go back was relatively low, he still wanted to give it a try.

“What kind of temperament is the Queen Mother, a son, don’t you know? You sent this letter, and it is also free.” The things that the Queen Mother decides will generally not change.

Qi Xuan said: “Qiao Niang has been thinking about Yikang these days, but she is unwilling to let her go back first.” Aunt Dou has suffered so much with him, and now Qi Xuan feels uncomfortable when she sees her crying secretly, so he I want to go back early.

Gu Jiu didn’t speak. Aunt Dou has been in a low mood these days, how could he not know this.

That said, this woman is really nice. Following King Xuan in Ajia Village to suffer and suffer, not only did he not complain, on the contrary, good things would come to King Xuan first.

Seeing this, Qixuan asked, “Gu Jiu, don’t you want your wife, children and grandchildren?” Gu Jiu’s children are already married, and it is he who can’t afford to teach new people. Otherwise, after retiring, he can take care of his life.

Gu Jiu swept Qi Xuan and said with a smile: “If you say that, I really miss my grandson.” When he was leaving, the little guy was pulling his clothes and wouldn’t let him go. I haven’t seen each other for two years, the little guy must have grown a lot taller.

“I also want Brother Min and Brother Asr. I’m incompetent as a father, but a few children are very filial.” Thinking about it, he felt so guilty. In the future, he must double the compensation for several children.

Gu Jiu looked at King Xuan’s appearance and said, “It’s not impossible if you want to go back.”

Qi Xuan’s eyes lit up: “What can I do?”

Gu Jiu smiled and said: “The Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager are in their sixties, and they have been looking for painters to paint for them in the past few years. Unfortunately, so far, no painter has made paintings that satisfy the Emperor Taishang. The paintings they are satisfied with, I believe that the Emperor Taishang will definitely let you go back.”

Qi Xuan also knew about this. Five years ago, his eldest brother started looking for painters to paint the two of them, but none of the paintings made by these masters satisfied his father.

“My father is not satisfied with the paintings made by the great painters. How could I draw a portrait that would satisfy my father.” In addition to the royal painters in the palace, Qihao searched for several great painters who were good at figure painting in the world. Unfortunately, Yunqing is not satisfied.

Gu Jiu laughed and said, “You didn’t even try, how do you know you can’t do it?”

Qi Xuan was still not confident and ran to find Tang Mo.

Gu Jiu shook his head helplessly. In fact, he had already discovered that Qi Xuan was not confident. If you say he can’t, he thinks he can’t. He must be encouraged by the people next to him to praise him, so that he will be motivated to continue.

Not only Gu Jiu, but Tang Mo also discovered this weakness of Qi Xuan, so Tang Mo always encouraged him to praise him. Even if it feels bad, it will be very tactful.

When Qi Xuan was affirmed, he became more and more devoted, and his painting skills became better and better.

Tang Mo knew about this, and naturally agreed.

Qi Xuan brewed for two days and started painting.

These days, Gu Jiu has developed a habit of going to look at Qixuan’s paintings when he has nothing to do, and this time is no exception.

Seeing Yun Qing’s full head of white hair and the deep wrinkles on his face on the portrait, Gu Jiu said, “The Emperor Taishang will definitely not be satisfied with your painting.”

Qi Xuan put down the brush, looked at Gu Jiu and asked, “Why?” Although he hadn’t seen each other for two years, he was still clear about Yun Qing’s appearance.

Gu Jiu said his opinion: “If I were to see myself so old-fashioned, I would definitely be unhappy.”

Because the queen mother looks young, the paintings she made are also very beautiful

The more he said, the more Gu Jiuyue felt that it made sense: “When the Emperor Taishang was young, he was a majestic and heroic general. Now you have drawn a bad old man. Do you think he will be satisfied?” 100% dissatisfied.

Qi Xuan understood: “You mean you should paint my father as he was young, so that he will be satisfied.”

Gu Jiu said: “You can control this yourself. Anyway, don’t draw it like this. I feel uncomfortable looking at it, let alone the emperor.”

“But this is a portrait left for future generations to look up to, isn’t it too young to paint?”

Gu Jiudao: “Those great painters are definitely of a higher standard than you, and none of them can satisfy the Supreme Emperor. Do you think you can satisfy the Supreme Emperor by making such a painting?” Therefore, it is better to find another way.

Qi Xuan felt that Gu Jiu’s words made sense, and after pondering for a while, he said, “Let me think about it.”

Thinking about it, I didn’t want to ask Tang Mo’s opinion. Speaking of which, Gu Jiu really thought it was very strange, how could it be so different from the same parents. The emperor and the king are very assertive. King Xuan, cough, don’t say anything. Fortunately, his parents and strong brothers can also cover him, so he will not be bullied.

Qi Xuan really went to Tang Mo after dinner and asked him for his opinion.

After listening to Tang Mo, he said with a smile, “This idea is very good, you can give it a try.” Maybe the Taishanghuang really didn’t like those great painters who painted him too old, so he was picky.

Qi Xuan said hesitantly, “But this portrait will be enshrined in the Taimiao Temple a hundred years from now. The painting is too young and a little dignified!”

When Tang Mo heard this, he couldn’t help laughing: “You know why the portraits left by our ancestors to future generations are always old, that’s because such portraits cannot be painted in advance. When they are old and then painted, the painter will You can only paint what they looked like at that time.” No one would ask an artist to paint the portraits left for future generations, because it is not auspicious.

Qi Xuan really didn’t think deeply about these things.

Tang Mo said, “It is impossible for other painters to paint the appearance of the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager when they were young, but it is not difficult for you, King Xuan.”

When Qi Xuan was about to start painting, Gu Jiu made another suggestion: “The emperor and the empress dowager are so affectionate, if you draw them together, I think they will be very happy.” Generally, portraits are one for each person. of.

Hearing this, a picture flashed in Qi Xuan’s mind, and he nodded immediately and said, “You are right, my parents definitely want the two to be together.”

Drawing together is much more difficult than drawing alone. But this time, Qi Xuan did not back down.

While painting in Qixuan retreat, Yijia followed Niku and Niti down the mountain.

Concubine Dou today was wearing a blue tangled lotus robe, a horse-faced skirt, and a crescent moon bun with two silver hairpins on the bun. Because it has been raised for more than half a year, although it is not comparable to when he was in the capital, it is different from when he was in Ajia Village.

So when Yijia saw Concubine Dou, she didn’t dare to recognize each other: “Qiao Niang, how did you become so beautiful?”

Aunt Dou welcomed people into the house and said with a smile, “I don’t have to work anymore, I don’t get to bask in the sun.” After a winter, Bai came back a little. Of course, people rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold clothes, and they must be much prettier when they are dressed up.

After the two sat down, Concubine Dou asked, “Sister Yijia, is this time okay?”

Yijia smiled and said, “Everything else is fine, but I miss Ai Hua very much.” Ai Hua has never left her side since he was a child, and this time he left for half a year.

She hadn’t seen her son for half a year, and she really missed her in a panic. It took a long time this time before Nico agreed to take her down the mountain.

Concubine Dou has a deep understanding of this: “Yes! How can a mother not want the child to leave her side.”

When Yijia heard this, she held Aunt Dou’s hand and said, “Then when will you be able to go home?” Compared with Aunt Dou, she is much better, after all, there are Ada and Muna by her side. If she was not around, she would definitely not be able to bear it.

Aunt Dou shook her head, this is not something they can decide. They can go back only if the queen mother relaxes.

Seeing this, Yijia said, “Then you have another one! If you have a child by your side, you won’t think that way.”

Aunt Dou had already had this idea, but Qi Xuan didn’t touch her. She is alone and can’t give birth if she wants to. It’s just the matter in this room, Aunt Dou is embarrassed to say to Yijia: “This child doesn’t want to have it, it can have it.”

When Yijia heard this, she also understood. She gave birth to three brothers and sisters Ai Hua, but her sister only gave birth to a girl and never became pregnant again. So this matter also depends on fate, and there is no rush.
