Bai Qichang and Wu Tong were waiting in the front hall. Wu Tong asked with a smile: "Brother Bai, it seems that the son-in-law of the Chen family is not easy to do. Recommended: The new work of the master Wangyu: "Six Traces: Nightmare Palace" http://m./0_3/" raised his eyebrows again, and then said: "Miss Chen's husband is even more difficult to do."

Bai Qichang snorted lightly, put down the teacup, and replied, "I, Bai Qichang, have never encountered anything difficult to do."

Wu Tong smiled and said, "Brother Bai can do things that ordinary people cannot do, but Wu believes that."

Bai Qichang smiled and did not take it seriously that Mr. Chen had not seen him for a long time.

If it were ordinary people, they would have been anxious, but Bai Qichang only recognized one thing, that is, he had a marriage letter, Chen Chun was his husband, and he had contributed to this marriage, so today's wait was just to give himself a warning.

Bai Qichang is a humble gentleman and an extremely smart person. He was prepared for this, so he had the strange painting he had written in advance.

Sure enough, a while later, the butler of Chen's mansion, Lao Fu, slowly came to the front hall.

As humble and warm as ever, the old Fu lifted his robe and walked in and bowed to Bai Qichang and Wu Tong. Before he could speak, he had a three-point smile on his face.

"Young Master Bai, Youth Master Wu."

Bai Qichang and the others quickly got up and returned the gift, and then asked, "Butler Fu."

Wu Tong teased and said, "Haha, Butler Fu, you are here to invite me Brother Bai."

The old Fu smiled and said, "Young Master Wu is really a clever plan. Haha." Then he said to Bai Qichang: "The master is waiting for Youth in the back hall."

Bai Qichang raised his hand and said, "Please lead the way by Butler Fu."

Old Fu also reached out and made a "please" posture and walked in front.

Speaking of which, Bai Qichang, the back hall of the Chen Mansion, also came several times, but every time Chen Chun, who had finished teaching classes, came back to rest. He only had one or two visits to the back hall.

The old Fu took Bai Qichang to the door and stopped walking forward, bowing to report: "Master, Mr. Bai is here."

After pausing, Chen Chun's reply came from the door: "Come in."

When the old Fu heard this, he opened the door for Bai Qichang. Bai Qichang breathed a sigh of relief and flipped his robe and entered the door.

The sun shone through the door from behind, and the room lighted for a brief moment. After Bai Qichang entered the door, the door closed and the room fell into darkness again.

Chen Chun was sitting and said, "Sit down."

The doors and windows in the room were tightly closed and there was no light. Although the sky was blue and sunny outside, the light in the room was not good.

Bai Qichang sat down as he said, bowing and said, "Teacher."

Chen Chun did not look at him, but said in a flash: "Qi Chang is seventeen years old this year."

Bai Qichang bowed and said, "Yes, my disciple is seventeen years old."

Chen Chun smiled and said, "I have also come from your age. I have experienced a lot of ups and downs in my life. Today's you are just like me yesterday."

Bai Qichang didn't know why Chen Chun said this, but he felt a little embarrassed when he was eased his embarrassment. The person in front of him was his husband, and his painting was indeed a bit over.

He responded, smiled slightly, and said, "Sir, I want to tell my disciples about my youth."

Chen Chun smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't want to listen."

Bai Qichang pushed his hands and said, "The former is wise, how can the younger generation not want to listen to the teacher's words."

Chen Chun looked into the air, and saw a ray of light shining through the cracks of the door, casting a mottled light on the ground. He looked at the light with a little excited eyes.

Such a look is like a teenager.

"I was born in the prosperous land of Suzhou and had a good family background. Since I was a child, I learned from my brothers and sisters. I have never been motivated, but I just want to live a life of just day after day."

He seemed to have returned to his youth and was in that day when it was drizzling.

"That day, my brothers who were familiar with the clan went out to visit the city. When the storm was about to come, we went to the pavilion on the hillside to hide from the rain. Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered the pavilion, we saw a young scholar. This man was very strange." Chen Chun raised his tone and smiled unconsciously.

Bai Qichang asked with a smile: "Where is the weirdness?"

Chen Chun said: "It was raining outside, but he was not embarrassed at all. When he saw us in, he just smiled and looked at us outside the pavilion and tinkered with it. After a while, he saw him spreading paper on the ground. He was actually lying on the ground, watching the rain outside the pavilion, while painting. Do you think it's strange?"

Bai Qichang smiled and nodded and said, "What a strange thing."

There are many reasons why this person is strange, such as when you want to paint, you have many considerations in the selection of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Even people who don’t know how to draw must recognize these so-called “specialties”.

There are three categories of brushes: hard hair, soft hair, and a combination of hair between the two.

The hard hair brush is mainly made of wolf hair, and there are also pens made of badgers, marten, rat hair or pig bristles. They are strong and strong. Commonly used include "little red hair", "clothes pattern pen", "leaf-stem pen", "booking and painting brush" (large, medium, small), "orchid bamboo" (large, medium, small), and large "wolf hair lifting pen".

The soft hair brush is mainly made of sheep hair, and is also made of bird feathers. It is soft in nature, with various models of size, length and length. The mixed hair brush is made of sheep hair and wolf hair, or the sheep hair and rabbit hair. Its properties are between hard and soft, and it is neutral. For example, the large, medium and small "White Cloud Pen", "Seven Purple and Three Sheep", "Five Purple and Five Sheep", etc. are commonly used mixed hair brushes.

Beginners don’t have to be too particular about their pens, but at least they need to prepare a few large, medium and small branches. The flexible use of the pen is very helpful for the basics of painting.

Generally, when going out to paint, everyone will prepare a small curtain made of thin bamboo silk, which is called a pen curtain. It is used to roll the pen in the pen curtain, which is very convenient to carry and can protect the pen hair from damage.

Let’s talk about ink, there are two types of ink: “oil smoke” and “pine smoke”.

The use of oil smoke ink for painting. The so-called oil smoke ink is made of smoke from tung oil. The pine smoke ink is made of smoke from pine branches. The oil smoke ink is shiny ink and is suitable for painting. The pine smoke ink is black and dull, suitable for writing, and is not commonly used in painting.

Occasionally use pine smoke ink to draw butterflies, or as the background color of ink purple. For example, when drawing ink purple peonies, you must first use pine smoke ink to apply the foundation.

When grinding the ink, use clean water. When grinding, press and push it gently, and do not be too fast.

The grinding circle should be larger. Do not use too much water each time, as more ink will easily soften it. If you need more ink, you can pour the ground ink into another bowl and store it, add clean water and grind it a few more times.

After grinding the ink ingot, be sure to wipe the ink mouth to prevent it from being dried and broken. The ink ingot should not be exposed to the sun or damp. It is best to wrap the ink with paper and apply a layer of wax to prevent breakage and avoid dirt.

With just two brushes and ink, there are so many things to pay attention to, so if the painter wants to go out to sketch, there are too many things to prepare.
