The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 77: Zheng Feibo

Yunyan replied that he wanted to make a kesi belt for Zhao Yunchu. Zhao Yunchu also ordered the pattern himself. If he wanted a lotus pattern, firstly, he practiced Zen, and secondly, religious decorations were very popular at this time.

But Yun Yanhui doesn't have any talent for painting. Although he knows a thing or two about Kesi skills, he doesn't know how to paint. After thinking about it, he still finds his good cousin.

Yunyan went back to Zheng's house to find Zheng Ling. It was also a coincidence that this unfortunate child finally got a chance to negotiate with his grandfather after a long struggle. Although Yun Yanhui came as Zheng Ling's friend, everyone knew who he was. Therefore, although the men of the same generation were all in the yamen and no one was received, one of Zheng Ling's cousins ​​also respectfully came to accompany him for tea. .

Zheng Ling's cousin is two years older than Yun Yanhui. His name is Zheng Mao. He once had a relationship with Yun Yanhui at Daxiangguo Temple, and he has heard the name of this cousin for a long time. Because I don't know how to grasp the distance and distance, I can only keep smirking and drinking tea.

Yun Yan returned to be at ease, eating tea with her feet raised, "Why did you, Aon, agree to talk to Xiao Ling?"

Zheng said: "Brother Ling should be crowned in a few days. Brother Ling is the eldest son and eldest grandson..."

Half of the words, but Yun Yanhui already understood.

This crowning ceremony for the eldest son and eldest grandson, don't invite others, but relatives in the family have to invite them. It's not good to keep people locked up and fool them, otherwise it's really a joke.

On the other side, Zheng Li, Zheng Xun and Zheng Ling's ancestors and grandsons gathered together, but the atmosphere was a little nervous.

Zheng Ling was a little afraid of being beaten, but still stared at his father and Aweng, "I, this is what I think, Aweng, either you kill me, or you can fulfill me."

Zheng Li had a headache and sat for a long while holding his forehead, "It's really your cousin who brought you so unruly."

Zheng Ling whispered: "What does it have to do with Brother Yan..."

"Isn't he here?" Zheng Li suddenly waved, "Xun'er, go and call him in."

Zheng Xun was stunned, "Father, he is not from our Zheng family. Wouldn't it be better to call him in for this matter?"

Zheng Li closed her eyes, "Call him in."

Zheng Xun had no choice but to go out and invite Yun Yan back.

Yunyan smiled back and said as he walked with Zheng Xun, "You can't persuade Zheng Ling, you should call me to beat him to vent his anger." He believed what he said to Zheng Xun that night. The whole family needs to know.

Zheng Xun was a little speechless, and brought Yun Yan back in. Yun Yan returned the junior salute and said hello, but he did not treat him as a relative.

Zheng Li tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Brother Ling is as stubborn as your mother, I can't persuade him. However, Brother Ling is the eldest grandson. If he wants to enter the Hanlin Academy of Painting, no one will say anything. How would the next of kin see it?"

Zheng Ling was overjoyed and showed some helpless expression. Yes, sometimes people live not only for themselves, but also for many other things and for the eyes of others. Even if A Weng and Daddy wanted to, they would prevent others from being able to do it.

Zheng Li actually approved Zheng Ling's behavior, but now he probably thinks that Zheng Ling's reasons are not sufficient. He hopes that there is another reason to allow him to make up his mind. Maybe he has been inciting Zheng Ling's cloud. Yan Hui can give this reason.

And from what he's done so far, he's pretty good at it.

Yunyan didn't reply for two seconds, but she really gave a reason. She didn't say that you were too shameless, and the shameless thing was resolved early.

"My mother hasn't done anything else at home in the past few years. She is painting a picture that depicts the prosperity of the market. It is the first food festival of Daxiangguo Temple drawn by Ling Geer. Now the original painting is preserved in the Daxiangguo Temple In Xiangguo Temple, I don’t know how many people praised it, and the kesi works have also been completed. I heard that the official family is good at writing and writing in their spare time. The Zhiyuan can send the original and the Kesi book to the official family. I'm doing it part-time, and I will slowly quit my job at Honglu Temple in the future. In this way, Brother Ling is not a painter, but a painter of the Son of Heaven, what else can others say?"

Speaking of which, although several emperors of the Song Dynasty loved the art of calligraphy and painting, it seems that the painters of the Hanlin Painting Academy only rose in status during the period of Emperor Huizong.

All of them carry the word Hanlin, but the status of the Hanlin Academy and the Hanlin Academy are very different. The Hanlin Painting Academy is only a part of the Hanlin Academy, and there are other units of various technicians, including piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, scripture, astronomy, etc., exclusively for the needs of the royal family and the court.

However, in today's day, not all people in art academies are not taken seriously. What people look down on is actually "painters", who are among the craftsmen. Most of the positions in the Hanlin Painting Academy did not even have official positions, and they belonged to people other than the first-rank to the ninth-rank, and they could even be regarded as officials.

And if you become a painter, you are at the level of an artist. This imperial imperial edict is obviously a watershed, not only those who can be employed as officials, but even higher, like Gao Wenjin, who was often ranked around the official family during the Taizong period. , this has already been promoted to a favorite.

So, it's still the same sentence, three hundred and sixty lines, every line is a champion, you have to work hard everywhere, and it depends on your choice.

Yunyan looked back at Zheng Li and fell into deep thought, and then said: "Brother Ling's painting skills are definitely not wrong. This painting has been hung in Daxiangguo Temple for several years, and it is famous. There is no need to worry about not joining the official family. Eyes - as long as the official aesthetic is fine."

Zheng Li really doesn't worry about Zheng Ling's painting skills, he actually knows it in his heart.

Not to mention, there is another very important element that they all know very well, and that is Zheng Ping's Kesi works. Such a Kesi theme is definitely unique. Coupled with Zheng Ping's superb skills, it took several years to complete it.

Using such an expensive medium to express Zheng Ling's painting skills can make Renzong feel more worthwhile.

In addition to Renzong's generosity, Zheng Li, the old minister, will give a hint. Don't even think about it, this good old man will definitely push the boat along the way.

This kind of utilitarian and hacking method is usually only used by those clans who eat and wait to die. Zheng Li really doesn't even think about it.

But at this time, Zheng Li was moved, and he could have both official positions. If he took this as a good opportunity and calmly transferred to the art academy, then he would really not lose his nobleness, be worthy of his family style, and would not let others talk about it.

Zheng Ling saw Zheng Li's intentions and kowtowed down, "I beg Aweng!"

Zheng Li closed her eyes, "Forget it..."

……

Half a month later, Zheng Ling crowned the temple at home, and the elder of his family was the guest of honor, and got the word Feibo. And because the paintings and kesi books were presented to the imperial court, they were collected by the officials and kept in private collections. Zheng Ling has fulfilled his long-cherished wish and is proud of the spring breeze.

There are many ways to enter the Hanlin Painting Academy, the most common is the examination, which is usually the way of entry for ordinary painters. There are also hereditary, recommended and supplementary admissions. Needless to say, hereditary is the inheritance between master and apprentice, father and son.

Recommendation is when a painter with superb painting skills or a reputation is recommended by officials to enter the painting academy. Many folk artists are excavated in this way, not to mention, everyone can enthusiastically look for talents for officials.

During the time of Emperor Taizong, there was a street medicine seller who often drew small paintings on the paper wrapped with medicine, ranging from ghosts and animals to animals. Later, it was discovered by an official on the street and recommended to Taizong. He was greatly appreciated, and he directly awarded the imperial edict to Hanlin.

As for the supplementary admission, it is somewhat similar to the recommendation, but it is not recommended by the official. It can be said that compared with the supplementary entry, it is different from the active and passive nature of the official family in it.

Zheng Ling's seal is somewhere between supplementary and recommended.

For a while, the Zheng family's relatives and friends were only proud of him, so they praised him, after all, it represented the vision of the official family.

The Kesi is only said to be made by the female family members of the Zheng family. Everyone knows the craftsmanship of the Zheng family, and they have been rewarded generously. Therefore, the former Zheng family also helped Yun Yanhui, plus it was to help Zheng Ling, so here is an old affair between Zheng Ping and her mother's family.

When Zheng Ling was crowned, Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu also attended the crowd as friends.

Zhao Yunchu wore the lotus-patterned kesi belt that Yun Yanhui made for him.

Yun Yanhui felt that it was really embarrassing to bring it to the Zheng family, and it was a very classy axe... I just hope that Zhao Yunchu would not tell others that it was made by him.

When Zheng Ling was crowned, Zhao Yunchu was watching, and then whispered back to Yun Yan: "Brother Yan, when you are crowned, it would be nice if I could be the official guest."

Yunyan replied: "You are so beautiful."

Let's not say whether his family will be like the Zheng family, and what kind of crown ceremony is there? After all, even many big families these days simply do crown ceremony. This Zhengbin has to be well-respected, where is Zhao Yunchu so well-respected? Take away the virtue and hope, he is really tall! Really heavy! The last time I was drunk, I almost crushed him to death!

This Zhengbin also has to make a name for the crowned person. God knows what kind of character Zhao Yunchu can make.

Zhao Yunchu hummed and chirped: "That brother Yan can also be my guest..."

A picture also appeared in his mind. If it is in front of everyone, let everyone witness, Brother Yan is holding his hair and giving him a nickname... ah no, the word...

Zhao Yunchu this is basically Hu Si's imagination, Yun Yan rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, if I can be the guest of honor on your crown, I will definitely give you a name, called Tiantian."

Zhao Yunchu: "..."
