Chapter 79 Weird people are acting strangely
Yan Liben was surprised for a long time. After carefully reading the content of the song "Xiaochi", he turned to look at Helan Minzhi, who looked proud, but he didn't say anything!
The change in Yan Liben's expression was seen by everyone present. Helan Minzhi was surprised. He knew that his actions had achieved results. The famous "weird" in the Tang Dynasty was moved by the poem written by Chen Yi.
Chen Yi didn't think anything. This poem was originally stolen by him. Even if others were surprised by the poem, he didn't feel happy and honored in his heart, and he was embarrassed. Even if he saw Yan Liben surprised by the content of the poem today, he didn't feel too proud, afraid of showing his flaws. He was just surprised that Yan Liben would turn into this expression in a moment. This master was really interesting.
Helan Minyue was a little disdainful of Yan Liben's change in attitude before and after. She had never seen Master Yan. She had always admired the master's reputation before and thought that it would be very exciting to meet and ask him one day, but she did not expect Master Yan to be so cold and arrogant. Today she was going to go out for the cocktail party with her brother Helan Minzhi, but because her brother invited Chen Yi, she came to join in the fun. Helan Minzhi did not tell her that Yan Liben would be invited. When she saw Master Yan present, she was excited for a moment and was defeated by the master's arrogant personality.
She didn't like Master Yan. Even if his paintings were excellent, she felt even more intense after seeing the changes in the master's expressions before and after.
Yan Liben ignored the changes in other people's eyes at all. He stood up with a wine glass, walked to the unfolded painting, and chanted it carefully. This poem surprised him so much that he never expected that someone would write a poem that was so appropriate to him!
Originally, when he invited someone else to drink, the host should have arrived first, but Yan Li was originally a surprise. After he agreed to Helan Minzhi's invitation, he came over immediately, even faster than Helan Minzhi who went to pick up Chen Yi. After arriving at the restaurant, he started drinking alone. He didn't want to come today, not to give Helan Minzhi face, but to his personal interest. What Helan Minzhi said that surprise him today did not make him feel special. He agreed to come to Helan Minzhi's banquet because he was in a good mood today.
Although he was in a good mood today, he came to Zuixianlou to drink and was preparing to see the famous Hu Xuanwu in the restaurant, but this was equivalent to his liking to date young people like Helan Minzhi, not to mention that Helan Minzhi also brought his sister and a young man of unknown identity, which made him feel even more bored. However, all the unhappiness was swept away when he saw this poem, and the surprise was beyond words.
When he was writing this painting that day, he thought about it and couldn't figure out the verses that matched the painting. Because Helan Minzhi wanted to take it away immediately, he left without writing inscriptions and other contents. He really didn't expect that he would see such an appropriate poem on it today. This poem seemed to completely analyze the meaning of his painting, even more appropriate than he understood himself, so he couldn't stand it and walked down to watch it.
Seeing Yan Liben stand up and admire the poems in the painting, Helan Minzhi also stood up, walked over with a wine glass, stood beside Yan Li himself, and gestured to Chen Yi to go over with his eyes. Facing Yan Liben, who was famous all over the world, or a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty and the Minister of Works at the time, Chen Yi didn't dare to be rude, so he stood up and walked over.
Seeing his brother and Chen Yi walking over, Helan Minyue naturally couldn't sit still and got up and walked closer. The four of them stood in front of the unfolded painting, but the few had different points of their eyes. Chen Yi did not read the poem, he only looked at Yan Liben's expression changes, and Yan Liben focused all his attention on his own painting and the poem written by Chen Yi. The eyes of Helan Min's brothers and sisters naturally fell on the painting!
"Does Yan Taichang Bo want to ask who wrote this poem?" After standing for a while, he didn't hear Yan Liben asking anything. Helan Minzhi finally couldn't bear it and asked.
"Who did it?" Yan Liben did not look back, and his eyes continued to patrol the paintings and poems.
"This poem is written by Chen Yi and Chen Ziying by your side!" Helan Minzhi pointed proudly at Chen Yi standing by the side with a faint expression. "I admired this painting together that day and begged him to match a poem for this painting. As a result, Ziying made such a masterpiece in a moment, which is really admirable!"
"Ah?! Did you do it?" Yan Liben finally turned around and looked at Chen Yi standing beside him incredibly.
"Yes!" Chen Yi nodded without hesitation, "When I saw this masterpiece of Yan Taichang Bo, I suddenly felt inspiration. When I thought of this poem, I wrote randomly, so I asked Yan Taichang Bo not to blame him for his presumptuousness and absurdity. Yan Taichang Bo's painting skills are famous all over the world, and the meanings in the paintings are beyond our understanding. The poems written randomly must not be able to understand Yan Taichang Bo's meaning, but they are really showing off their skills!"
In front of celebrities or seniors, Chen Yi never shows arrogance and pride, let alone he is not qualified to show pride and pride at all. He just steals other people's masterpieces to give himself a face, and he is naturally even more humble when speaking.
"You have said this!" Unexpectedly, after hearing Chen Yi's humble words, Yan Liben showed a serious look, and criticized Chen Yi like an ignorant child who said the wrong words and was ignorant. "You say this to be a disgrace to the poem you wrote. Your poem completely interprets the meaning of my painting. No poem is more suitable for this painting than your poem! Therefore, what you said just now is wrong. If you say that your poem is a random work, then my painting is even more so!"
Chen Yi did not expect that his few polite and modest words would make Yan Liben "indignant" like this. He was a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "Yan Taichang Bo, this is not the meaning of this. There is no intention to belittle your paintings. My meaning is just..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Helan Minzhi, "Your poem is not polite, brother Ziying, your poems are really outstanding. Yan Taichang Bo rarely praises others like this. Poetry and painting complement each other, which is very wonderful. It makes a pair of jade! Haha! The authors of paintings and poetry come together today, so we should have fun. Come, let's drink and appreciate the paintings and poetry, and we will return with all our fun!" As he said that, he kept winking at Chen Yi.
"That's right! Poetry and painting really complement each other, perfect match, perfect match!" Yan Liben also laughed, his expression was completely different from before, his arrogant look was gone, and his face was filled with excitement, "Come on, let's drink together, and we will not return without getting drunk, I will, I will give you a drink!"
"Oh?! OK... Thank you, Uncle Yan, I should respect you first!" Chen Yi, who was surprised to see Yan Liben turn with him with an attitude of 180 degrees, raised the cup in his hand in surprise!
