In the spacious interior, a young man dressed in brocade stood in front of a jujube root fragrance table, staring blankly at the crystal clear paper hammer bottle on the table. The narcissus in the bottle was elegant and fragrant, but the young man turned a blind eye and stood like a stone statue, with no focus.
Looking at that young man's immature face, he was about the age of Zhixue. He was tall, with a face as beautiful as a crown and jade, dressed in white clothes as white as snow, wearing a square scarf on his head, and stepping on cloud shoes. He had a good appearance. If it weren't for his dull gaze, he would have been a graceful and elegant young master.
I don't know how long had passed, but the sunlight in the painting had already faded away. The boy suddenly trembled all over and stumbled backwards two steps unsteadily!
Impossible, how could it be, such a fantastic thing... "The young man murmured to himself, his face constantly changing and his lips turning white. He looked around, and everything that caught his eye was antique, there was nothing false about it?
He is not dreaming, nor has he become a 'Truman', but has truly traveled back to ancient times!
The boy let out a slight sigh. He is not a pessimistic person and likes to think positively about everything. "My parents went to heaven a long time ago, but I left without any worries," he said
Traveling back to ancient times is not difficult for him, a lover of national quintessence, as he often wished he had been born in the Han and Tang dynasties.
In ancient times, it meant that he could better manipulate the music, chess, calligraphy, painting, flowers, insects, fish, and birds that fascinated him; And there is no modern restlessness, no fast pace of life that makes people breathless, only the fragrance of books and the melody of music, and the beauty of tea!
It's just that in ancient times, there were all kinds of good things, and when time travel truly came to him, it wasn't something he could accept for a moment. He just suppressed his complex and chaotic emotions and didn't think about it.
The young man mustered up his energy and carefully observed the elegantly decorated inner room. There were several narcissus vases and flowers like the one in front of him. In the center of the room, there was a desk with two Grand Preceptor chairs, and inside stood a bamboo and plum painting screen. A carved eight step bed with a silk curtain behind it could be vaguely seen.
And there are also many elegant things, in addition to the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall and a few vase flowers, there are also qin, xiao, sword, and some decorative small items.
Stepping on the soft carpet laid on the ground, the boy strode to the desk under the Grand Master's window. Sure enough, this desk was made of rosewood! The materials used for the furniture in this room are either rosewood or rosewood; And that rare jujube root fragrance table, surprisingly, there are several pictures displayed at once! You should know that this fragrant fruit is made entirely from natural jujube roots, which are easy to carve and can be called a rare product.
The young man can conclude that he is not from an ordinary wealthy family.
On the desk, there is a stack of books, scriptures, and stationery such as the Four Treasures of the Study. In the center, there is a snow-white rice paper with no words on it, but there is ink grinding in the adjacent inkstone. A lake pen is parked on the mountain shaped pen grid, and the pen tip is not stained with ink. It is probably because the previous generation had just finished grinding the ink and was about to sprinkle it heavily when their body was taken away by the passerby.
The young man picked up the lake pen and, upon closer inspection, praised it, saying, "Good pen!" This pen is not a wolf's or rabbit's hair, but an extremely luxurious mink's hair. This kind of pen is very round and powerful, but it feels a bit bulky and clumsy, and cannot be used well by non experts.
Holding such a good pen, the young man, who was in a state of turmoil just now, now feels an itch in his heart. He can't help but dip the pen tip in ink and then press it against the paper like a gust of wind, swinging his brush. I saw the young man holding a pen with his right hand like wind and electricity, with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing under his pen. He wrote the eight characters "Phoenix Nirvana, Rebirth from the Flames", with iron paintings and silver hooks like words roaring wildly.
After the young man finished writing, he threw the lake pen all at once. The lake pen returned to its original form, not missing a single point. He laughed heartily and praised, "Good pen, good handwriting!" After praising, he stared intently at the eight characters for a long time before sighing, his eyes gradually becoming firm.
Looking around, the young man's gaze was once again drawn to a landscape painting on the wall. He approached and took a closer look, his face changing color in vain, and his breathing becoming slightly faster!
This painting is actually Wang Wei's' Snow Stream '!
The Snow Stream Painting "is a masterpiece of Wang Wei, which adopts a top-down approach with precise perspective. The painting appears cold and desolate, but in essence, it is ethereal and distant, revealing infinite Zen philosophy.
In the 21st century, the young man had the privilege of observing the authentic "Snow Stream Painting". Now, looking at it again, he has a different feeling. Without saying anything else, just thinking that this painting is his own, it makes him want to shout loudly to express his joy in his heart!
As seen in previous lives, the world in "Snow Stream Map" is a snowy Yinchuan, with withered trees and sparse population. Several thatched cottages are built on both sides of a small stream, and a boat with a canopy floats in the stream. The boatman is walking on a pole.
The boy squinted his eyes, savoring it carefully. Suddenly, his brow furrowed, but he remembered something wrong. As far as he knew, this "Snow Stream Map" was originally without a title, but later Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, inscribed the words "Wang Wei Snow Stream Map" on it; Looking at this "Snow Stream Map" again, there is no inscription by Emperor Huizong of Song, but there is a personal inscription by Wang Wei!
Is this a fake?
At present, the young man began to carefully evaluate. Most counterfeits are similar in appearance but different in spirit, because the artist does not have the corresponding mindset and cannot draw that kind of meaning at all. And this painting of 'Snow Creek', with its form and spirit embodied, was indeed created using Wang Wei's' breaking ink method ', and the artistic meaning is distant, not like a fake. Compared to the painting 'Snow Stream' from my past life, it's not exactly the same. However, how can I explain it in the inscription?
Oh, this... "The boy widened his eyes and looked at the bottom corner of the silk cloth, where a name was printed! This name is printed in the corner, but it is relatively hidden. The young man did not see it earlier, and only after careful identification did he discover it. Looking at the pale red name stamp, the young man felt a surge of anger filling his chest, so angry that he cursed loudly, "What bastard and randomly printed name
Even if this' Snow Stream Map 'is really a fake, it is still worth cherishing. How could it be so chaotic! Looking at the name again, it turned out to be the three characters' Li Tianzong '. The young man was already extremely angry and laughed back, shaking his head and sighing,' This Li Tianzong is really ridiculous... '
In this way, the boy lost his interest in appraisal and put down the painting "Snow Stream" to look at other things in the inner room.
Turning to the back of the screen, the young man couldn't help but laugh in silence as he observed. There was not a trace of the fragrance of pink and white daughters in the air here, and there was not a single object of a daughter around him. It can be seen that Fang Jin's body was a "single aristocrat", not even a maid.
This really makes young people wonder. In ancient times, people often got married early. Even if they were not yet married, having a maid in such a wealthy family is not an excessive thing. Why are you still so pure even though you are already fifteen or sixteen years old?
The young man chuckled and shook his head, secretly saying that he was really a naive child who didn't understand * * *!
What is this? "The young man looked at a calligraphy poster hanging by the bedside and smiled again. He saw that the four words" Study in the Sea Without Cliffs "were written on the poster, but the handwriting was really ugly, slanted and crooked, like an elderly person struggling to walk in the twilight, with only one" poor "character to speak of in terms of spirit and spirit!
To the surprise of the young man, the signature of this calligraphy post actually wrote the three words' Li Tianzong '.
Is Li Tianzong the owner of this place? Otherwise, how could the motivational words hanging on the bedside be so pitiful? Looking at his fancy clothes again, the young man was taken aback. Could he be Li Tianzong?
In a moment of confusion, a childish cry suddenly came from outside: "Young master, young master -" The person called out a few times, as if standing outside the door, and urgently said, "Young master, something is not good, something is not good
Upon hearing these few voices, the young master knew that he was the one who destroyed the painting, Li Tianzong! He chuckled and patted his forehead, then turned around and walked towards the Grand Tutor's Chair in the middle of the inner room.
In the past life, the young man's family had a small fortune and had seen many big scenes since childhood. Now, although he is new here, he is still more than enough to handle a servant. He made up his mind to indirectly extract his situation from this servant's mouth.
Sitting down on the Grand Tutor's chair, Li Tianzong's voice softened and he said, "Come in
The servant received orders and quickly walked in. He was also around fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a semi new green silk pleated dress, a melon skin hat on his head, cloth shoes and white socks on his feet, with clear eyebrows, beautiful eyes, and fair skin.
Li Tianzong was slightly surprised again, thinking to himself that he had found the right person to travel through this time! Look at this servant, who is also wearing silk, which shows the grandeur of this household.
The servant saw that he was shouting 'something is not good', but the usually anxious young master didn't panic and sat calmly on the chair. There was a hint of doubt on the servant's face, and he praised, 'Young master, your qi raising skills are really amazing! The little man was really anxious just now, as if his heart was about to jump out. But as soon as he saw the young master so calm, the little man calmed down. It's really amazing!'
The servant's accent has a hint of Su Bai, but not entirely, which is also natural in Li Tianzong's accent.
Li Tianzong gave a faint smile and said, "Your flattery skills are also very good
Upon hearing these words, the servant immediately felt a surge of joy, his childish face furrowed into a ball, and he exclaimed, "Young master, what I'm saying is true, not flattery! If young master doesn't believe me, I'm willing to dig my heart out to show loyalty
It seems that this servant is his personal attendant and also holds the position of a bookboy. Otherwise, how could he be so eloquent? Li Tianzong smiled meaningfully and said to the servant, "Then you can dig
The servant was suddenly stunned and didn't know what to say.
Seeing the servant like this, Li Tianzong chuckled and said, "I'm just joking with you. I'm really serious, I don't have any sense of humor!" He teased the servant like this not for fun, but to explore his character. Now it seems that although this servant likes to flatter, his heart is still quite pure.
The young master laughed heartily, and of course, the servants had to laugh along. The servant chuckled and asked, "Young master, what is' sense of humor '
Li Tianzong let out a sigh and just remembered that the word "humor" was transliterated from English in modern times. How can a servant understand this? He smiled and said, "It means humorous
After hearing this, the servant bowed respectfully to Li Tianzong and exclaimed, "Young master is truly knowledgeable and talented! Compared to young master, what is Lin Xuan worth? In my opinion, you are the most talented scholar in Linxian
Li Tianzong smiled without saying a word, took the small purple clay teapot on the desk, poured it into the teacup, and when the tea was almost full, he picked up the cup and drank it. He felt that leisure was sweet in his throat, calm in his heart, and clear in his bones. Li Tianzong closed his eyes and was immersed in this light and fragrant aroma.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and let out a sigh with endless aftertaste. He looked at the tea cup between his fingers and whispered, "Good tea! If I hadn't tasted it wrong, this should be Qiao tea. Only Qiao tea can have such a refreshing and fragrant taste
As far as he knew, Qiao tea ranked first among many famous teas during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, with a price of 2-3 taels of silver per kilogram, which was favored by refined scholars. Li Tianzong suddenly had a thought. He saw that many things in this inner room had Ming Dynasty characteristics, especially the magnificent iron wood eight step bed. Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no such bed. Did he travel back to the Ming Dynasty?
Li Tianzong was still judging, but the servant on the other side was a little surprised and said, "Young master, this is exactly the tea from the temple." The servant was surprised that the young master had thought this tea was bland before, or that the old master had said he wanted to use this tea to wash away the young master's restlessness, so the young master continued to drink it. Why are you enjoying it again now.
Surprisingly, it's a post temple alley! Just like seeing 'The Snow Stream', Li Tianzong's breathing became slightly rapid. This temple's back tea is the finest tea in the world. In his past life, Li Tianzong once wanted it but couldn't, but now that he has tasted it, he is both surprised and delighted!
He hurriedly asked, "Do you still have tea leaves?" This question was silly, but it was the most authentic portrayal of Li Tianzong's heart. The tea he had just drunk was obviously brewed by boiling, but his favorite method was still boiling. If a small incense burner was placed in an elegant place, boiling tea and drinking it, it would be wonderful!
The servant exclaimed, "Young master, we still have half a pound of tea leaves behind the temple here. If young master feels it's not enough, just say a word and I'll go to the tea house in the front yard to get enough
Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. Let's talk about it later, "Li Tianzong smiled and thought of the painting" Snow Creek ". After some thought, he said," Don't be a petty person. You should call yourself a petty person in the future. "He actually came up with this little servant's name by saying this.
The servant bowed again and said, "Young Master Xie, Li Ji knows
Li Tianzong nodded and pointed to the "Snow Stream Map" on the wall over there, then asked, "What do you think about that painting
Li Ji was almost dizzy by this young master. Why did he keep saying 'big things are not good' and only ask these strange questions. But he didn't know if there was anything more "bad" for Li Tianzong than time travel, or whether it was important to first determine the authenticity of this "Snow Stream Map".
Although it was strange in my heart, I still had to answer the young master's question, even if it was asking him how many times he had relieved himself today! As soon as Li Jiwei was brewing, he praised and said, "This Snow Creek painting has profound meaning and superb painting techniques. It's a good painting. Wang Wei is really lucky. His brush and ink can be hung in the young master's bedroom, it's really his luck
Li Tianzong waved his hand and sneered, "You flatterer, do you know Wang Wei too
Li Ji put away his smile on his face and said seriously, "This is your gift, young master. If it weren't for being able to follow you and have a few words with your light, Li Ji would still be an illiterate country boy!" His words were sincere and not flattery.
Well, then I'll test you and see how much you've learned. "Li Tianzong naturally wanted to use the name of assessment to clarify some basic questions such as dynasty time. He first asked," What do you think of Wang Wei
Li Jigong humbly bent over and said, "Wang Wei and Wang Mojie are famous poets and painters. They are not ordinary people who can have any opinions. Li Ji thinks he is very talented, but there is still a distance between him and the young master
Alright, I'm not Ding Chunqiu. You don't have to flatter me like this, "Li Tianzong shook his head and smiled, continuing to ask," Okay, the next question, do you know the origin of this dynasty
Li Ji scratched his head, unable to imagine who Ding Chunqiu was. Upon hearing the young master's question, he immediately looked serious, clasped his hands and bowed upwards, saying, "After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, it entered the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and finally was unified by the Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, with the country name 'New Song'
New country name, New Song? Li Tianzong frowned tightly. After the Five Dynasties, it was clearly the Northern Song Dynasty, where did the New Song come from? He said, "Li Ji, are you sure?" Li Ji nodded solemnly, leaving him extremely puzzled, so he asked again, "Okay, let me ask you again, what do you think of the current world
Li Ji bowed his hand and praised, "The New Song Dynasty has been over a hundred years. Every emperor has been diligent in governing and loving the people, discerning traitors and recognizing loyalty. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the four seas sing and dance in harmony. Now is a great era of prosperity
His face was filled with pride and a hint of excitement as he said, "From a young perspective, compared to the New Song Dynasty, the strong Han and prosperous Tang Dynasty may not be as strong as this! A few years ago, the island nation of Japan invaded our dynasty's power, and the current emperor ordered General Yang Shangwu to lead 200000 troops to attack Japan! Truly worthy of being a general of the Yang family! In just a few months, Japan became a slave to the downfall of our New Song Dynasty! Who doesn't bow down and submit to our New Song Dynasty now? Which foreign country doesn't try every means to obtain the nationality of the New Song Dynasty? The current emperor said: Those who don't submit to the New Song Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away
Li Tianzong was stunned. Where did he travel to?
Li Ji snorted lightly over there and smiled, "Young master, you don't know. A few days ago, a wealthy merchant from a big food country came to hand over a name card, bringing many Hu Ji and gold and silver treasures, begging the master to help him become a citizen of the New Song Dynasty. Hey, that big food merchant is really jealous. Who in the New Song Dynasty doesn't know that the master has always been fair and honest, and loves his wife immensely? And with only a few black Hu Ji and a little money, even Li Ji doesn't care about him. The master is not a good person, how could he help him
Speaking of which, Li Ji chuckled and said, "That big food merchant has been like a headless fly these days, posting famous posts everywhere! But if he was rejected by our master, who would still accept his post? I heard he even ran away from the Education Bureau today, and he doesn't even think that the biggest official in the Education Bureau is only a few ranks. Hehe! After the Education Bureau was blasted out, that big food merchant was so angry that he scolded his dog headed strategist on the street. Haha, now in Linxian, that big food merchant has become a laughingstock
Alright, don't say anything for now. "Li Tianzong waved his hand, his face calm and composed, but his heart turned upside down. No wonder" Snow Creek "had Wang Wei's personal topic. It turns out that history has always had small changes, and then it brewed into this New Song!
He took the purple clay teapot, slowly poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and his heart gradually calmed down. Isn't it better to have a peaceful and prosperous era in the new Song Dynasty? If we go to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, it will be called a injustice! Moreover, according to Li Ji's words, this is a dynasty even stronger than the Han and Tang dynasties. If this is indeed the case, I should be even more grateful.
Li Tianzong stood up and walked to the white wall in the distance, gazing at the "Snow Stream Map" on the wall, lost in thought.
Li Ji followed behind with ease, not daring to make a sound, but muttering to himself, why doesn't the young master care about 'something big is not good'.
Staring at him for a long time, Li Tianzong pondered for a moment and whispered, "Being indifferent and clear minded, peaceful and far-reaching, is really a good painting." He turned around and asked, "You just shouted about something big that's not good, what exactly is it"
Seeing that the young master finally asked, Li Ji immediately became nervous and worried on his face. He looked around mysteriously before saying in a low voice, "Young master, this is really a big deal. It's not good! Here, here
Li Tianzong leaned over and frowned nervously, "What's going on, Auntie
It's not Auntie who's here... "Li Ji shook his head and sighed," It's Master Zhang who's here
Although I don't know who Zhang Fuzi is and what's wrong with him coming, Li Tianzong still showed surprise and said, "Quickly tell me the detailed situation
Li Ji started talking incessantly, and after some indirect attacks, Li Tianzong finally figured out what was going on. Originally, this Zhang Fuzi was known as Zhang Zheng, with the courtesy name Yizong and the literary name Dongxi Jushi. He was a renowned Confucian scholar of his time, known for his seriousness and stubbornness. He was also known as a strict teacher and had taught several high school students. This time, he "came" at the request of Li Tianzong's father to accept Li Tianzong as his disciple and teach him the Tao.
Zhang Fuzi is expected to arrive at Linxian tomorrow! After receiving the wind and washing away the dust, we held a ceremony of apprenticeship on an auspicious day and then began teaching.
Li Ji said sorrowfully, "Alas, the master knows that you have no intention of studying, young master. Why did you still bring in Zhang Fuzi? I heard that Zhang Fuzi is always stern and strict, and young master will suffer when the time comes
Li Tianzong gave a faint smile and said, "If he has real talent and practical learning, I would be eager to learn from him. If he is just a corrupt scholar, what can he teach me
What's your idea, young master? "Li Ji asked.
A glimmer of light appeared in Li Tianzong's eyes, like a mischievous child holding a slingshot, putting a stone on it and aiming it at the birds on the tree! He smiled and said, "You will know when it's time for the apprenticeship ceremony
