Lubanfang is a friend of Shen Fu, surnamed Zhang, whose name is Chunshan. He is good at painting pine, cypress, plum, official script and seal cutting.
Over the past year and a half, Shen Fu and Chen Yun have brought two servants, a man and a woman, to live in Lu's Lubanfang home. The servants also brought their little daughter. Chen Yun embroidered, the maid spun, and the footman made clothes in exchange for daily expenses.
There is a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard, and its fragrance is sultry.
Shen Fu has always been hospitable. Every time he drinks, he will order wine to persuade him. Chen Yunshan cooks with cheap ingredients, melons, vegetables, fish and shrimp, which can be unexpectedly delicious as soon as they are processed. Friends all know that Shen Fu is cash-strapped, and every time he visits, he will bring drinks and chat all day. Shen Fuai is clean, the ground is spotless, and his home is free and comfortable.
People who come and go frequently are: Yang Bufan, whose real name is Chang Xu, who is good at drawing figures; Yuan Shao's pedantic, famous and landscape works; Wang Xinglan, a famous rocker, is good at flower-and-bird painting. They all like the elegance of Xiao Shuang Building and bring painting tools to paint. Shen Fu followed them to learn painting, practice calligraphy and carve stamps, and gave Chen Yun the money to prepare dining tables for the guests. All I do every day is to taste poetry and discuss painting.
There are many other gentlemen who come to visit from time to time, just like swallows on the beam, coming and going freely. Chen Yun, on the other hand, took women to sell wine and never complained.
Xiao Shuanglou has four taboos: talking about official promotion, talking about official current affairs, talking about stereotyped writing and talking about gambling tables. If there are taboos, you will be fined five pounds of wine. There are four other choices: generous, romantic, quiet and silent.
When there is nothing to do in summer, people get together to make couplets. There are eight people in each poem, each with 200 pence. Draw lots first, the first one is the examiner, sitting alone; The second is transcription, which can sit; The rest are candidates, each taking a piece of paper at the copying place and stamping it.
The examiner gave five words and seven words respectively. When burning incense, you can walk or stand and think, but you are not allowed to whisper. After writing, put the note in the box before you can sit down. After all the papers are handed in, the transcriber will open the box, copy the pairs into a book and give it to the invigilator to prevent favoritism and malpractice.
Take seven-character triplets and five-character triplets from sixteen pairs. The first person in the six-couplet is the next examiner, and the second one is copied. Those who are not selected in the two leagues will be fined 20, and those who are selected in the first league will be exempted from punishment 10, and the overtime will be doubled. After a game, the examiner can get a fine of 100. If you can take ten exams a day, you can accumulate thousands of articles and have a lot of money in your hand. Only Chen Yun enjoyed special treatment when attending and was allowed to sit with her arms.
Yang Bufan drew a small photo of flowers for Shen Fu and his wife, and his expression was vivid. The moonlight was fine that night, and the powder wall reflected blue shadows, which had a unique flavor.
Drunk Wang Xinglan was full of enthusiasm: "KATTO can take pictures of you, and I can paint flowers." Shen Fuxiao said, "Can Huaying share the same picture?" Cymbidium takes ordinary paper and spreads it on the wall, and then draws it in thick ink according to the shadow of orchid.
Take it out during the day to see, although I can't draw it, the flowers in Xiao Ye are sparse, and the moon has its own interest. Chen Yun is rare, and friends write poems on it.
