Sui Jiu Dan blue half-pin

Chapter 40 The Pain Without Words

The warm sun was in the sky, and the sunlight shot down through the dense layers of branches and leaves, and the ground was covered with sparkling spots the size of copper coins.

The willow trees in autumn seem to be sick, and the leaves are curling on the branches.

Inside the painting courtyard.

Behind the painting hall stood a row of painters, sweating profusely by the wall with inkstones on their heads, their legs trembling with pain, but no one dared to move.

"There are five common rules of composition in paintings. One of them is: open and close, let there be open and close. For example, the main peak is prominent, and the peaks are surrounded by palms together. There are endless changes..."

Su Shiqing stared earnestly at Shao Erxue who was giving a lecture, and was fascinated by it.

Shao Erxue not only has superb painting skills, but also has profound knowledge. Although he is strict, his painting skills have really improved by leaps and bounds after his guidance.

However, I don't know when Shao Erxue began to deliberately keep a distance from him. On the surface, it was still a harmonious master-student relationship, but they were always polite when they met, and they were no longer as close as before.

In this regard, Su Shiqing felt helpless and did not know what to do.

"The second is: sparseness can be a horse race, denseness is not ventilated. It is required to have a contrastive relationship between large and sparse, large and dense, including various contrasts between sparseness and density, gathering and scattering, movement and stillness, light and darkness..."

Shao Erxue paused, looking at Su Shiqing's fascinated eyes, he knew that the apprentice in front of him had been deeply immersed in the knowledge he narrated.

If they hadn't developed an unstoppable affection for him, they must be picking up the scenery somewhere now, immersing each other in the realm of selfless painting...

Realizing that he was thinking a bit sideways, he turned his attention to the other painters and continued to explain.

"The third is: counting white as black, so that the fun comes out. Emphasize the use of blank space, treat it as a part of the painting, and also take pains to consider it. Like Liu Shihao's paintings, he uses black and white colors with proficiency. Everyone should pay more attention to him. Learn how to do this."

Everyone cast envious glances at Liu Shihao. Liu Shihao sat upright, with a smug smile on his lips.

"Painting is like archery on horseback. You have to aim precisely before you release the string. A seemingly insignificant action, every stroke and every painting can determine whether you can become a leader in the painting world. And 'inspiration' is always Epiphany in the distance, thin hair in immersion, it can only emerge in a certain artistic conception, it is not formed in the void without any reason, it is actually your shadow, you present it to others Whether you are good or bad has a great relationship with your heart, so the most taboo thing in painting is to be eager for success."

Speaking of this, Shao Erxue was no longer just talking about painting, everyone respectfully kept these words in their hearts.

Then Shao Erxue demonstrated on the screen several times in person.The lines are formed in one go, as straight as flowing clouds and flowing water. It seems that there is no skill at all, but in fact there are hidden mysteries.The paintbrush looks simple in his hands, but it has the spirit of heaven and earth.

"In the afternoon, a batch of screens will be sent from the palace. You will form a group of five and be responsible for uploading the required pictures. The themes will be given to you in the afternoon. get out of class is over."

"Yes, teacher, go slowly."

Seeing Shao Erxue's handsome side face when he left, Su Shiqing was extremely moved.

It would be great if he and Shao Erxue could return to how they were before...

In February of the following year, at the beginning of spring.

The Red Scarf Army revolted in the south.

The south was suddenly shrouded in a bloody storm.

Su Shiqing tried hard to dilute her longing with busyness.However, Jie Ao's vigorous figure and that haughty but resolute face will always be remembered in my mind.

Miss him so much.

Miss his safety, miss his embrace, miss his kiss...

It was only later that he learned that in the court painter examination, Jie Ao was rejected by his father because he painted "Hundreds of Beasts" (drawing hundreds of wild animals and birds to satirize the darkness of various official positions) that criticized court officials. Jietai burned the painting, and since then lost the opportunity to compete for the court painter.

At that time, Jie Ao must have been deeply saddened, and he was a bohemian, full of passion, but had no way to serve the country, so sex and indulgence became all he had.

Now he is determined to lead the Red Scarf Army uprising, presumably because he is completely disappointed with this decadent country.

……

Shao Mansion.

The tidy study room is silent, the sandalwood pen holder exudes an intoxicating fragrance, and the birds outside the window are chirping softly.

Shao Erxue silently studied calligraphy on the rice paper, his characters are both rigid and soft, more than elegant.

Yin Tangfeng took a sip of the fine silver penny and said with emotion: "You seem to have something on your mind?"

Although he doesn't have much vision, this time he really can't understand why Shao Erxue, who has always been indifferent, is about to get married all of a sudden?And I always feel that he doesn't have the joy of being the groom's official.

Shao Erxue continued to silently write the four characters "Seek it sincerely".

"What's the matter? Why don't you discuss it with me, don't suffer alone."

"Can something happen."

It would be great if we could negotiate, but how should we negotiate?

Discuss why you fall in love with a man, do you want to keep him by your side all the time?Discuss that even if the beauty is in front of him, he is calm, why does he look crazy when he sees Su Shiqing?

Yin Tangfeng did not give up and said, "Are you worried about the upcoming marriage?"

Shao Erxue shook his head.

If it was an ordinary woman, she could easily ask "What should I do if I have desire for a certain person?" But that person was Gu Meisheng.

He had been frightened by his surging desire more than once, and every time he saw someone sleeping next to him like a child, that unreasonable desire would become even stronger.

I want to touch his hand, I want to hold his face, I want to steal the taste from his lips... I also want to hold his slender waist under the quilt.

He thought that such feelings could not exist in ethics, but it wasn't until Jie Ao uttered the words "sweetheart" so grandly that he fully realized what he had missed.

He regretted that he didn't face up to his feelings for Gu Meisheng earlier.

He was jealous too, madly jealous!

That's why he wanted to completely stop thinking about himself through marriage, but it also made him more painful.

... Are these negotiable?

Yin Tangfeng looked at him and sighed helplessly.

"You are too serious, you hide everything in your heart, why are you so tired, I feel sorry for you."

Shao Erxue wrote slowly, stroke by stroke, trying hard to calm down his inner thoughts.

"Is it okay to be impetuous like you?"

Yin Tangfeng curled his lips, picked up the tea and drank it down in one gulp, not bothering to talk to him anymore.

……

Today, the sky is gloomy, and the wind blowing across the cheeks is tinged with coldness.

There was a melodious piano sound in the hall.

At this time, the maid came in to deliver a message.

"Ma'am, Master Gu is here."

The violin stopped abruptly.

Liu Shuying couldn't hide her joy, and immediately looked towards the door.

Su Shiqing came in and knelt on the ground to pay her respects: "Blessings, Lady Ying."

"Get up."

"Thank you madam."

Su Shiqing raised her eyes and looked at Liu Shuying. After a few days of not seeing her, she seemed to be much thinner again.

The maids set up tables and grind for Su Shiqing.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

At this time, Liu Shuying coughed suddenly, and her bloodless face became paler.

Su Shiqing's heart also picked up.

The palace maid hurried over to help her calm down: "Your Majesty! Drink some hot tea!"

Liu Shuying waved her hand: "No problem."

Su Shiqing couldn't help worrying: "Madam, your body...?"

"It's just that I accidentally caught a cold two days ago. It's nothing serious. The imperial doctor has already come to see her."

Hearing what she said, Su Shiqing let go of her hanging heart.

Liu Shuying smiled slightly, then hugged the guqin, sat gracefully on the soft couch, stroked the strings, and the beautiful melody slowly overflowed.

She played the song "Mountains and Flowing Water" that everyone is familiar with.

Since you can't express your thoughts in words, let the sound of the piano express it.

Su Shiqing watched Liu Shuying's wandering jade fingers fiddle with the strings, unconsciously picked up the pen, and laid out the drawing paper. She had thousands of words in her heart but could speak, so she could only use the drawing paper in front of her.

The smooth sound of the piano is like a rushing stream, sometimes tactful, sometimes aggressive, sometimes cheerful, sometimes sad.Responding to the lines in Su Shiqing's hands, sometimes they are capable, sometimes smooth, and sometimes they walk quickly on the drawing paper delicately.

Liu Shuying's appearance playing the piano was outlined almost in one go, without any room for change.

At the end of the song, the paintbrush in Su Shiqing's hand also stopped.

The whole picture is filled with Liu Shuying's beautiful figure, she is like a blooming snow lotus playing the piano, noble and elegant.

The two raised their heads at the same time, and their eyes caused ripples in Liu Shuying's calm heart.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to drink your medicine."

The maid came in with the fried medicine, even though it was far away, Su Shiqing could still smell the bitter smell.

Liu Shuying frowned while drinking.

At this time, a beautiful canary suddenly flew out of the window.

The palace lady wondered: "Why did this bird fly out? Hurry up and catch it into the cage!"

Liu Shuying said: "Don't catch it, let it fly away."

The pain in the heart, no one knows.

"But, this is a reward from the emperor to the empress."

"It's a bird in the sky, why keep it locked here?"

Su Shiqing looked at Liu Shuying, and couldn't help but feel sad. Now, why is she not a canary in a cage?

Twilight fell.

Before leaving the palace, Su Shiqing left the Tao Xun that she played with Liu Shuying on the drawing.

"Your Majesty, take care of your health, the villain is leaving."

Liu Shuying walked over to look at the drawing, then picked up Tao Xun and held it tightly in her hand, tears filled her eyes, she reluctantly watched his back leave, and murmured: "Gu Lang... Gu Lang... Lang..."

……

At the beginning of April, the warm spring breeze brought fresh whispers.

Su Shiqing walked slowly on the road, when suddenly a familiar call came from behind.

"Brown."

Su Shiqing stopped quickly, it was Shao Erxue.

"Brother Han Su?"

"I've been very busy recently, so I don't have time to see you. I just have time today..." Shao Erxue said, motioning him towards the gazebo: "Why don't we go for a walk together?"

Su Shiqing nodded happily.

The breeze was blowing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

It had been a long time since the two of them had walked together comfortably like this.

Because Shao Erxue's wedding was approaching, the painters passing by ran over to congratulate him and flatter him by the way.

Shao Erxue always thought that his feelings for Su Shiqing would fade away little by little because of the distance, but as the wedding day approached, he felt more and more hard. The pain almost made him suffocate. He couldn't do it. I haven't seen Su Shiqing until now.

Finally came to the lotus pond.

There is no one around, the petals of the winter jasmine next to me are falling with the wind, and the bees are going back and forth between the flowers, making a buzzing noise.

"Brother Han Su, do you come to see me for something important?"

Shao Erxue shook his head lightly, and then took out a small brocade box from his sleeve, which contained a seal that had not been plastered on.

"This is……?"

"This is the number I carved for you. It's called Yingxue, and I have the same word 'Xue'."

"A number engraved for me?"

Su Shiqing looked at the exquisitely carved seal in surprise, the engraved imprint on it was still very new, obviously it had just been engraved not long ago.

"Brother Han Su, this, how can I afford this?"

"Anyway, it will be taken sooner or later. What do you think of this number?"

Su Shiqing nodded movedly: "My greatest wish in this life is to follow in your footsteps and become the second famous 'Shao Erxue', so I like the account you gave me very much, thank you, brother Han Su!"

"As long as you like it."

Shao Erxue smiled, and his eyes stayed on his face like nostalgia. I am afraid that from now on, his feelings for Su Shiqing will never be shown so clearly like now, so let him dote on him one last time .

The air froze, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

half an hour.

Shao Erxue was the first to break the silence, and said bitterly: "The fifth day of next month...you will come to drink my wedding bar."

Hearing this, Su Shiqing hurriedly said: "Brother Han Su is my benefactor, as your companion, how can I not go? Naturally, I have to prepare a generous gift for you."

But at the same time of joy, why do you still feel so disappointed? ...even he himself can't explain clearly.

"it is good."
