Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

Li Jing hasn't been on the horse for a long time since he claimed that he has leg problems, let alone put on the horse in armor, but Li Yuanying's proposal made Li Jing also excited and immediately called someone to get his armor. Li Yuanying said again: "I want to take the one I wore when I was young!"

Li Jingqi said: "Why?"

Li Yuanying said: "Since you want to show off your heroic demeanor, then you should naturally show your demeanor when you did meritorious service." Seeing Li Jingyi's order to pick up the armor he wore back then, Li Yuanying enthusiastically asked Li Jing that his most proud battle was Where did he fight, what weapon he was holding, what kind of horse he was riding, and what birds were there to help spread the letter.

Li Jing's armor is usually under the control of Hong Fu, and Hong Fu was surprised when he heard that Li Jing was going to wear his earlier armor. After careful questioning, Hong Fu knew Li Yuanying's plan. Although she felt that such a portrait might not be able to enter the Lingyan Pavilion, Li Jing rarely had such interest. She personally led people to wear a piece of armor and went over to the schoolyard to see Li Jing's long-lost immediate grace.

Seeing Hongfu coming in person, Li Jing smiled happily, and ordered someone to wait for him to put on his armor, and also asked Hongfu to help him bring the cloak. He is not too young, and he has always been ill in the past few years. Riding a horse seems to have been a matter of his previous life. He was not afraid of other people's jokes. He asked people to support himself on the horse, and sat on the top of the horse and recalled Li Yuanying: "My horse was not this one at the beginning, it was red, but I was energetic, and when I ran, his mane and tail were all thrown high. I also raised a saker falcon. Have you ever seen a saker falcon?"

Li Yuanying said: "I have seen it, the old and the old!"

Li Jing laughed and said, "Isn't it? It also pecked Turkic people's eyes. Turkic people also raise eagles and falcons, but they are not as good as mine!" When Li Jing talked about the rise, he called out the soldiers guarding the side." Go get my halberd!"

The personal soldiers led the way and quickly fetched the Miaojin halberd for Li Jing. Li Jing stretched out his hand and took it, feeling a little heavy, but he still raised his hand that was already full of veins and lifted it up, and said to Li Yuanying: "Back then, I could easily level a piece of enemy with this halberd, and let me go out and kill someone. Happy, I can fight one hundred against one hundred!"

Li Yuanying was fascinated when she heard it, and she boasted: "If you become a general, then you will be one enemy ten thousand! No, it should be one enemy one hundred thousand!"

Li Jingle said: "Where there is such an exaggeration, you still have to have a good soldier. I can't be a polished general."

The old and the young were full of enthusiasm when they talked about the battlefield. Li Yuanying's eyes were bright and asked Li Jing to say more, while Li Jing's face was full of memories of the past.

Hong Fu stood by and listened to them chatting in high spirits, his eyes were somehow moist.

How long has it been? Since the Battle of Tuyuhun in Zhenguan ten years ago, her husband has never been on a horse again, nor has he been so energetic. Every day, he either writes behind closed doors or teases the birds and beasts raised in the mansion, and never shows up. Live this way. But she followed Li Jing all the way. She knew that Li Jing was the happiest only on the battlefield. He was born for war!

Li Yuanying and Li Jing talked happily, but didn't even use any ink. Li Yuanying said to Li Jing: "I have a score in my heart. I will go back and draw it for you slowly. Once the drawing is done, let it be sent to you. You think it can be sent to the palace again."

Li Jing responded.

When Li Yuanying was sent away, Li Jing found that the eyes were flushed with red brush. Li Jing used to hold Hong Fu's hand and asked with concern: "What's the matter?"

Hong Fu said: "It's been a long time since I saw you get on the horse."

Li Jing said, "If you want to see it, I will show it to you every day."

Hong Fu rushed into Li Jing's arms, and the couple hugged each other tightly, as if returning to the old days when they were young and frivolous.

They can grow old in peace, can watch their children and grandchildren grow up, and always have to give up something. This kind of life is already very good.

Li Yuanying had already said goodbye to Liu Baolin, so she didn't go back to the palace. She went back to the Imperial College with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone prepared by His Majesty Li Er. Dr. Xun Ma and the others vacated a place, saying that they were ordered to paint portraits of heroes. Dr. Ma and the others are very satisfied, and they have heard of Li Er's plan, but they heard that Li Er's Majesty sent Yan Liben to paint a portrait and Chu Suiliang's inscription, but they did not hear that Li Yuanying was asked to paint it.

Li Yuanying told Dr. Ma about what Yan Liben was scared by the leopard, and focused on describing what the leopard looks like and how it feels. It's all right now, everyone knows that Li Yuanying ran to Li Jing's house to lure the leopard!

Although I think it’s a bit tricky to let Li Yuanying draw the hero figure, Dr. Ma and others are still curious about what Li Yuanying can paint. They gave him a quiet room in the Zhishe and asked him to come here to paint when he is free. .

Li Yuanying took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the quiet room and put it there. She didn’t write for several days. She only spared time in the morning class to sit and watch the horses, to see what their eyes look like, and to see their hair when the wind came. In which direction will they fly, see how their hoofs rise and fall when they run.

After watching a lot, Li Yuanying had a vivid horse in his mind. The horse was red all over, and his eyes were dark and bright, and he was very angry! Then there was another person immediately, and that person's face gradually became young and handsome. Looking at the man in his prime, the whole person was full of heroism, and he looked like a rare hero.

In the end, a fierce eagle falcon roared down from the sky and landed on the shoulders of the hero.

In this way, the whole picture is complete.

Li Yuanying spent a few days thinking about it, and finally started to write. He and Dr. Ma took leave and locked himself in the quiet room all day. When Wei Shu and others were worried that he would hurt his body from starvation, Li Yuanying came out. Seeing Wei Shu and others waiting for him outside the door, Li Yuanying happily took them inside to see his masterpiece: "Look, I'm done drawing!"

Wei Shu was dragged into the house by Li Yuanying, without struggling, and followed Li Yuanying to the case, only to see a long scroll spread on the case. The person on the painting was learning Yan Liben’s usual painting method to draw. The painter may It's a bit worse, but it's better than the fresh activists.

That's right, just take a look, the Li Jing in the painting seems to be walking in front of your eyes, maybe the face is not very similar, and the stature is not completely painted according to the person, but you know at a glance that this person is Li Jing , He is a great general-after a long time, you even have a heartfelt desire to fight with him on the battlefield!

Wei Shu praised: "The painting is really good."

Wu Mei also said: "Yes, the painting is excellent." She had seen Li Jing from a distance. At that time, Li Jing was already suffering from a foot problem. Every time she entered the palace, she held a stick and her figure became more and more slumped, not at all. The bravery and bravery in his youth. Seeing Li Yuanying’s painting, she understood why Li Jing’s wife had to marry him at all costs. Who would not admire such a heroic figure when she saw it?

The excitement here also attracted Dr. Ma who was on duty. I heard that Li Yuanying had painted the portrait, and they all stepped forward to see what kind of "heritor picture" Li Yuanying drew. At first glance, Dr. Shen, who had seen Li Jing a few years ago, boasted: "Like, it's really like! I remember that Duke Weiguo was like that back then!"

Others also found Li Yuanying's paintings to be realistic.

Li Yuanying got a boast and was so happy that she asked someone to send the portrait to Li Jing's home to let Li Jing see that she was dissatisfied.

Li Yuanying didn't feel hungry when he concentrated on painting. After finishing painting, Li Yuanying found that his stomach began to growl. Fortunately, the cafeteria was packaged by Fengtai Building. Even if Li Yuanying was late, someone would help him keep a lot of delicious food. After Li Yuanying had done something, he had a great appetite and feasted on Wei Shu and his company.

After Li Yuanying had enough to eat and drink, Tang Jing said to him: "Why don't you even eat, everyone is very worried about you."

Li Yuanying said: "I paint in one go, and it’s hard to find the feeling when I stop." After several days of thinking about a portrait, Li Yuanying didn’t feel tired at all, and felt that he had learned a lot of skills while painting. Skills have improved a lot. He said to Wei Shu enthusiastically, "I think I can paint portraits now, but it's a bit tiring to paint. I won't paint others! When we get married, I will draw your wedding dress, OK? "

Wei Shu felt that everyone else was looking at him in unison. Although his ears were slightly red, his mouth still happily responded, "Okay."

Li Yuanying happily escorted Wei Shu to the small courtyard where they lived, and went back to sleep, to make up for the spirit of painting Li Jing's portrait during the day.

Li Yuanying ate and went to bed early, but Li Jing's mansion was brightly lit all night. Li Jing and his wife hung up the painting, and the two of them sat in front of the painting and looked at the horse general who was in the prime of life on the painting. The horse was like his old and dead beloved horse, spirited and brave; the halberd was raised high, There seemed to be the sound of breaking the wind; even the eagle falcon came to him alive.

Is this portrait Li Jing satisfied? How could Li Jing be dissatisfied, he never expected that Li Yuanying, who was like him back then, could paint such a portrait. You know Li Yuanying was not even born at that time!

Hong Fu said: "Can someone draw another painting and send it to Lingyan Pavilion? We keep this one for our children and grandchildren, so that they know what kind of heroes their ancestors were."

Li Jing looked at himself in the painting, and then replied after a long time: "Of course I have to send it to Lingyan Pavilion. If children and grandchildren want to see it, let them earn a good future and go to Lingyan Pavilion to see it by themselves!"

When Hong Fu heard Li Jing say this, his eyes also glowed.

Yes, let the children and grandchildren go to Lingyan Pavilion by themselves!

The Li Jing and his wife ordered someone to send the portrait painted by Li Yuanying into the palace early the next morning. Li Jing himself entered the palace and expressed to His Majesty Li Er that he was very satisfied with Li Yuanying's painting.

The fact that Li Yuanying went to Li Jing’s house to pick up the leopard and shaved the yak had long been passed back to His Majesty Li Er’s ears. Li Er’s Majesty thought that Li Yuanying used the painting as an excuse to go to Li Jing’s house to play, but she didn’t even think about it. Paint Li Jing well. Listening to Li Jing sincerely complimenting Li Yuanying's paintings, His Majesty Li Er thought he was listening.

After confirming that Li Jing really liked Li Yuanying's paintings, His Majesty Li Er felt it was necessary to see what Li Yuanying's paintings had become. It happened that Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng were both here. After Li Jing left, His Majesty Li Er asked them to look at the twenty-four hero map that was about to be hung to Lingyan Pavilion soon.

Soon, everyone saw Li Yuanying's masterpiece.

In terms of style, the portraits painted by Li Yuanying are indeed not obtrusive. Although they are not at the level of Yan Liben, they are still harmonious at first glance. At least the styles are consistent. The problem is that Li Yuanying painted Li Jing too vividly, and as soon as Li Jing riding a horse appeared, the other portraits seemed a bit rigid and somewhat the same!

At first glance, it looks like a general leading a group of humble entourages.

Fang Xuanling: "..."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

His Majesty Li Er: "..."

The three monarchs and ministers were silent together.

The author has something to say:

His Majesty Li Er: Look at your good deeds! !

Little Prince: Nonsense! I paint in strict accordance with Xiao Yan's style!
