Reborn with you

Shan Qiang finally understood why the painting hanging on the wall of the study looked so familiar, because it was made by Yin XX. The painting on the wall is from the same series as the one that was auctioned off, but Shan Qiang has never seen this painting before, and she just felt familiar when she glanced at it.The author of this painting was standing in front of Shan Qiang at this time. After experiencing Ye Shilan's surprise that time, Shan Qiang was not overly excited when he saw the master worshiped and respected by later generations again.Speaking of which, the surnames of the elders in the study can also be matched with the famous masters in later generations. Are they the same people?

Shan Qiang raised his eyes and looked over, everyone, including Chen Yishui who was beside him, were all concentrating on an ancient painting on the table. It was brought by Mr. Yan who said he had a treasure yesterday. Just now he and Chen Yishui were killed When the servants came here, they saw Mr. Yan carefully spreading out a scroll on the red sandalwood table. Ye Shilan waved to them and whispered: "Xing Zhi'an, come and see your grandpa Yan's treasure."

Shan Qiang and Chen Yishui looked at each other, Shan Qiang saw that Chen Yishui's eyes slowly filled with curiosity when he heard about the baby, and he walked up quickly, Shan Qiang shook his head slightly, and walked slowly behind .When passing by the painting she saw yesterday, Shan Qiang stopped, scanned the painting carefully, and looked at the name on the painting, only then did she discover and be surprised.

Chen Yishui took Shan Qiang's arm and pulled him to her side, and said in a low voice: "Junior Brother, you walk so slowly, do you know, I heard from Grandpa Yan that this painting is actually by Qingshi Layman, you know it is Qingshi Layman Who is it?" Chen Yishui's face was a little flushed with excitement, and his fair skin was indescribably cute.How could Shan Qiang not know about that well-known patriarch-level figure? I didn’t expect that Mr. Yan could find the works of that master. You must know that even now, the works of that master are rare, so Chen Yishui asked him He just nodded to show that he knew, and then he focused his eyes on the ancient painting like everyone else.Chen Yishui was dissatisfied with Shan Qiang's neglect of himself, but he himself was also curious about what kind of painting he cherished so much, so he turned his head to look at the painting with his mouth curled.

Some yellowed rice paper was spread on the red sandalwood table, overflowing with an antique flavor under the reflection of the morning light, Shan Qiang was intoxicated just seeing this picture, and was even more fascinated when looking at the picture, the lines of the picture are soft and warm , the coloring also tends to be warm, but it still composes a strong and sharp style, which is really a rare masterpiece. The skill of drawing such a picture with a few simple strokes is indeed beyond the reach of Shan Qiang and others.

Ye Shilan secretly observed the two apprentices, Chen Yishui's eyes were unabashedly curious and amazed, and Shan Qiang was even more intoxicated.Ye Shilan was surprised. Chen Yishui could see that the words were not simple because his family was a scholarly family, and he had seen many famous paintings since he was a child, and he had instilled these contents in him; but Shan Qiang could see it at a glance. It's a bit unusual. As far as I know, the Shan family is not considered a wealthy family. They probably don't have these things in the family. The Wang Xiucai who once taught Shan Qiang is also of average aptitude, and even if he has these things, he definitely won't know. It is easy to show others, let alone Shan Qiang and other children. Since Shan Qiang has no chance to come into contact with these famous paintings, why can he have the ability to see that the paintings are extraordinary? It can also be seen at a glance that the surprise on his face when he hears his name is not fake, which is very strange.Ye Shilan stroked her beard and smiled.

Although Mr. Yan has seen this painting many times, he is still fascinated by the technique and artistic conception contained in it every time he sees it. With a raised eyebrow, he grinned and said, "How is it, is it a baby?"

Mr. Li let out a long sigh and said, "What a treasure, if you say such a good treasure, you will have it!"

Mr. Yan was even more proud when he heard the words. Before he came, he could have predicted that he would be envied by these old men, and he said proudly: "It's also because I got it. If I didn't just pass by, it wouldn't appear in your sight again." in front of you."

"How do you say that?"

"I happened to pass by that stall selling window calligraphy and paintings that day. In the past, I wouldn't have glanced at such a stall when passing by. Fortunately, I was in a good mood that day, and I saw it at a glance, and saw the signature. I still can’t believe it’s the real one, but after checking it over and over again, I’m sure that this painting is really a work left by Lay Qingshi among the people, and it only cost 30 coins to get it, do you think I should get it?”

"Oh, why didn't we have such luck? Forget it, it's better to fall into your hands than to be pasted as a window paper." This sentence made everyone feel sorry for each other. I don't know how many treasures have been lost and disappeared throughout the ages. , It was a surprise to find this painting.

Everyone no longer entangled in this issue, but instead talked about the characteristics of this painting.

"In my opinion, this painting can be regarded as the best among Layman Qingshi's paintings. Although the painting style is consistent with this gentleman, the artistic conception is completely different from his previous paintings. What do you think of Lao Ye's work in his prime?"

Ye Shilan didn't answer, and instead asked Shan Qiang: "Anzhi, tell me what you saw?"

Ye Shilan's old friends were a little surprised that he would let the next generation intervene in their discussions. It seemed that he valued his two little apprentices very much.At this time, Shan Qiang was completely focused on the painting, and was completely oblivious to the eyes of the outside world. Hearing Ye Shilan ask him, did he just think it was that person talking to him? come out.

"...So at first glance, I thought this painting was just a simple tranquil and peaceful landscape painting, but in fact it is not. This painting is painted in the upper right corner... The twists and turns of the peaks actually give people a sense of grandeur. I realized that the artist's state of mind when painting this painting must be positive."

As soon as Shan Qiang finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the room. I thought it would be best for a child of this age to only see one or two good things about this painting. The bright spots in the painting are all pointed out, and the brilliance of this painting is explained so thoroughly. It is difficult to fully understand the expression of a painting without certain experience and talent in viewing painting. This child is actually... For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Shan Qiang, but Shan Qiang didn't hear the warm voice that would be heard by that person, so he couldn't help but raised his head, and saw that everyone in the room was staring at him, puzzled.

It was Mr. Yin who was the first to react, and said to Ye Shilan with envy: "Lao Ye, you have taken in a good apprentice." Ye Shilan herself was a little surprised, although this time she also wanted to test Shan Qiang. Thinking that Shan Qiang's performance was even better than he expected, although he was surprised in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face, and he still smiled and said: "It's just a kid talking nonsense."

At this moment, Shan Qiang knew that she had unknowingly said all the thoughts in her heart. Even if she was a little ignorant of human affairs, she knew that her performance at this time was a bit out of line. Shan Qiang's face slowly turned red, and she lowered her head.

Chen Yishui had listened to Shan Qiang's commentary and nodded in surprise while listening to it. He also admired Shan Qiang a little more, but the compliments from the people around him made Chen Yishui feel a little neglected. He obviously started a year earlier than Shan Qiang. Because he is the one who is often praised for his talent, this time everyone actually ignored him as a big disciple, Chen Yishui felt a little unhappy, but when he saw Shan Qiang's red face, he felt that it was because others praised his junior and not himself. Being angry is not generous, thinking about it this way, most of the awkwardness Chen Yishui felt because of Shan Qiang disappeared.

Later, Ye Shilan never asked Shan Qiang to express her opinion. Seeing his quiet appearance, those people thought that he was just an ordinary child. It's a lot less.Shan Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Being too mediocre is not good, but being too outstanding is also a problem, especially when your real strength is not as good as your own performance, it is even worse, it seems that you should pay attention to it in the future .

15. 1880 (Thursday)...

"Anzhi, look here, wouldn't it be much better if I painted it like this?" Zhou Sheng held the paintbrush in his hand, and said gently to the little boy with his head bowed. The little boy was Shan Qiang, who was serious Looking at the changed painting on the table, I have to say that after Zhou Sheng's modification, the picture is much better than the original one.

Shan Qiang raised her head, "Brother Zhou, you are awesome. This change is indeed much better than before." Shan Qiang really admires Zhou Sheng. Although he is only 22 years old, he is very good at painting and calligraphy. Some insights can often give people a refreshing feeling, so recently Shan Qiang not only studied from those masters, but also had a lot of contact with Mr. Yin's beloved disciple.

It feels good to be admired by someone, even though the person is only 13 years old.Zhou Sheng brought a smile on his face, and his tone became more and more gentle, "Anzhi, the paintings you made are also very good, but you just need to practice more." Getting along with Shan Qiang and observing him these days made him more sure of his guess that day , although this child has good talent, he is just a child with good talent. His little brother Chen Yishui has even better talent than him. It was just a coincidence that the child spoke amazingly that day.Shan Qiang respects him very much, and he is happy to guide this child even if he has nothing to do. After all, there will be many opportunities to deal with him in the future, and getting along well with this child is also a good thing.

Compared to Shan Qiang's happiness, Chen Yishui was not so happy.

Today, he originally planned to take Shan Qiang to play with a few other new friends, but unexpectedly, Shan Qiang left him to talk with the guy named Zhou Sheng. This was the first time Shan Qiang rejected him.Chen Yishui angrily took other friends to play, and at night Chen Yishui deliberately told Shan Qiang what fun things he had today, what delicious food he ate, and taught some good friends Yunyun , Chen Yishui said while looking at Shan Qiang's expression pretending not to care, who would have thought that his junior brother didn't have the envy and remorse he expected at all, what was hanging on his face was still his old smile, quietly doing his own thing. thing.

Chen Yishui used to think that his junior brother was a very good person, not to mention respecting him (that’s taking care of the children, okay?), and he also had a nice smile, at least he didn’t see that kind of smile on the faces of other people of the same age. I also like to see that smile.But this time when Chen Yishui saw this smile, he felt angry and felt that this smile was really ugly.He suddenly walked straight to the chair by the window, and after sitting on it, he lay down on the edge of the window and didn't speak angrily.

Shan Qiang was making the bed while listening to Chen Yishui's babble, occasionally nodding in response.Chen Yishui's voice stopped abruptly, just as the bed had been made, Shan Qiang turned around to look at the boy, wondering what was wrong with him.

"Yi Shui, why didn't you say anything?"

A familiar voice came from behind, and Chen Yishui suddenly felt wronged.Children are like this, once he feels that he has been wronged, if no one pays attention to him, he may forget it after a while, but if someone close to him comes to comfort him, he will feel that he has been wronged too much.Chen Yishui was like this at the moment, he couldn't help his nose sore, and blurted out nasally: "Stop talking, no one will listen to you, you'd better go and listen to your Brother Zhou."

Shan Qiang had never been in contact with children in her previous life, and Chen Yishui had never behaved like this before, so Shan Qiang didn't know what happened to Chen Yishui.What does it mean no one listens, and what's the matter with Brother Zhou.

Shan Qiang chuckled, "Why is no one listening, am I not listening?"

Shan Qiang's laughter made Chen Yishui even more annoyed, he turned around without hesitation, and shouted at Shan Qiang: "Hmph, your expression is completely different when you listen to me and when you listen to your elder brother Zhou, and it's the same in the morning. So, hum."

Shan Qiang was taken aback for a moment, and she vaguely understood that Chen Yishui was having trouble.The expression is different?

"Then why do you think my expression is different?"

In fact, Chen Yishui only took a hasty look at Shan Qiang when he passed by the two today. It happened to be the scene of Shan Qiang smiling at Zhou Sheng. Shan Qiang treated them differently, and Shan Qiang's expression became clear in that scene.Although Shan Qiang smiled when listening to Zhou Sheng and when he was talking, Chen Yishui always felt that the two smiles were different, but he couldn't tell the difference.Children are sensitive, Shan Qiang treats Zhou Sheng with the attitude of the same generation, and treats Chen Yishui like a child, even with a smile, she is also gentle and tolerant.

"It's just different." Chen Yishui said, poking his neck.

At this time, Shan Qiang has figured out why Shan Qiang is having a fight. The years of getting along with Chen Yishui let him know that this child is relatively possessive. It is probably because he has been getting closer to Zhou Sheng recently, which makes the child uncomfortable.

Shan Qiang pulled Chen Yishui and said, "Are you blaming me for not playing with you today?"

Although Chen Yishui is still young at heart, he is not an awkward person. He nodded his head when he listened to Shan Qiang's words, and he admitted it.Shan Qiang breathed out, and said to Chen Yishui: "Yishui, why don't you go for a walk?"

There is a small pond in the Yin residence, and there is no one else except Shan Qiang at this time.

"Yi Shui, do you know the situation in my family? My family is small and not rich. The only income is my father's woodwork for others and a few eggs laid by my mother's chickens. Fortunately, the family can subsidize it. If I leave the family, I will only be left with my parents. Although the master is kind enough not to charge me, I have added a lot of burden to the family by coming to the master to study. Then Why do you think I will come if I know it will cause trouble for the family?"

Chen Yishui didn't say a word, his family was from a scholarly family, and the family environment was also very good, he never thought that he would be in the situation that Shan Qiang said.

Shan Qiang didn't care whether Chen Yishui answered, his purpose today was just to let this child understand him, after all, this child still cared a lot in his heart.

"Because I like calligraphy and painting. I thought at the time, if I miss this opportunity, will I regret it in the future, and the answer is, I will definitely regret it. So I came here. Yi Shui, I cherish every opportunity to improve myself. No I know if you understand, what a wonderful thing it is to be able to express the beautiful things in your heart in an appropriate way. Although it is a pleasant thing to play with a group of friends, it’s just that such opportunities often exist, but like This time, it is rare for so many talented people to come together to provide you with the opportunity to improve.”

After hearing Shan Qiang's words, Chen Yishui was depressed, but still a little unhappy, curled his lips.

Today's moonlight is very bright, Shan Qiang saw the movement of Chen Yishui curling his lips clearly, and sighed, "Yishui, we have been together for so long, I hope you can understand my thoughts. Your talent is so much better than mine, I hope One day your work will surprise me like XXX's work, maybe even better."

Shan Qiang's serious statement made Chen Yishui feel that he was a little unreasonable. After hearing Shan Qiang say that he was very talented, Chen Yishui was overjoyed. Then he heard Shan Qiang talk about Mr. Yan's baby that he saw that day, and Shan Qiang's obsessed expression that day The dreamlike tone recalled in Chen Yishui's mind, if he worked hard, would Shan Qiang think of his works in the same way?

Chen Yishui has found a goal, which is to make himself reach the height mentioned by his junior brother.

"Okay, then we have an appointment, I will work hard with you from now on, you can't leave me aside, do you understand?" Chen Yishui stepped forward to hold Shan Qiang's hand, and looked at the person in front of him seriously.The cool breeze blowing in the early summer makes people feel more comfortable.The moonlight evenly shone on the two of them, and Shan Qiang's eyes that had fascinated Chen Yishui once again glowed with such brilliance under the silver moonlight. Embedded in Shan Qiang's smiling face, it turned out that Chen Yishui had been looking at him for a long time. His Chen Yishui's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment he was embarrassed to look into those eyes again.

"it is good."

After the two children reconciled (it was just Chen Yishui's unilateral temper tantrum), they washed themselves up and went to bed as usual.After closing his eyes, Chen Yishui couldn't fall asleep, his mind was full of the image of Shan Qiang he saw under the moonlight tonight, Chen Yishui couldn't help but opened his eyes, and looked at his side carefully with the moonlight coming in from the window of this person.

The eyes that made him feel uncomfortable were closed at this moment, and Chen Yishui stared at him for a long time and didn't know what was going on with him today.Then Chen Yishui took a closer look, and it seemed that the younger brother's face had turned pale. I remembered that his face was still dark when I first saw him, but the younger brother looked better with a little whiter.Junior brother's nose is quite straight, I have never seen junior brother's parents, I don't know if this nose is like his mother or his father, so straight, it should be like his father.The junior brother's mouth was a bit upturned from the side, as if it was pouting. Chen Yishui didn't know what was wrong with him, so he moved closer and licked that mouth. , feeling a little sweet, Chen Yishui twitched his lips, feeling a little dissatisfied, and licked Shan Qiang's left side of the face again, Chen Yishui lay down satisfied, and soon fell asleep.

The next day, Chen Yishui really showed an attitude of studying hard. Although Chen Yishui still had a very unhappy expression when Shan Qiang was discussing with Zhou Sheng, he didn't have any trouble with Shan Qiang after all.Then Chen Yishui continued his misdeeds at night.

Although Ye Shilan felt that it was strange that her big apprentice could calm down and study, but this was the purpose of bringing them here, so Ye Shilan was relieved. The talent of Chen Yishui is very good. It would be a pity to think about progress.

After spending more than ten days in Yin's house like this, it was finally time for him to return home.After getting along with each other these days, the elders liked Ye Shilan's two young apprentices very much. Before leaving, they gave them a lot of gifts. Chen Yishui was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear. Waving, Shan Qiang also waved to Zhou Sheng who was smiling at him in the crowd, "Brother Zhou came to play with me when he is free."

"must."

Seeing this, Chen Yishui unhappily pulled Shan Qiang into the carriage, and shouted: "Okay, okay, don't be reluctant."

Shan Qiang pursed her lips and let this possessive kid pull her into the carriage.After Ye Shilan said goodbye to all her friends, the group finally embarked on their way home.

The author has something to say: So, our Ah Qiang's first kiss was taken away by Chen Xiaozi, and Ah Qiang was lying on the bed and being bullied by others...
