Chapter 518 Foolish Man (End)
"How can this little fool live without me?"
As spring passed and autumn came, year after year, Zhao Chao had more and more gray hair on his temples, but Jiang Tang still coughed every day, bending his waist.
Zhao Tang got married, and coincidentally, this boy actually hooked up with Jiang Zhiqing's daughter, and when he was eighteen, he deceived the girl who was only sixteen years old.
On the wedding day, Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao also came from Taohua Village, a hundred miles away. Although the old couple was almost seventy, their bodies were still strong.
After the wedding banquet, Zhao Tang moved out. He has been learning painting from Zhao Chao for so many years. He is somewhat famous in the world, but compared with Zhao Chao, the master of the landscape school, he is still inferior.
The Zhao Mansion was empty, leaving only Jiang Tang and Zhao Chao, and the two women who took care of their daily life.
At the end of the 175th year of Changhong, the sun was shining brightly. Jiang Tang woke up Zhao Chao and pointed to the chair outside.
"I'm going to bask in the sun, and you can peel the melon seeds for me."
Old Zhao Chao still has the habit of hiding melon seeds, and Old Jiang Tang is no longer too lazy to argue with him. Anyway, both of them are almost sixty. After a lifetime of hiding things and me finding them, it’s time to take a rest.
Zhao Chao opened his eyes drowsily, sat up obediently and put on his coat. The woman outside had prepared water for washing.
After washing up, Zhao Chao helped Jiang Tang sit on a soft chair in the yard, and then sat on a small stool next to him so that the two of them could look at each other.
Jiang Tang was in poor health, Zhao Chao looked like he was in his forties, and Jiang Tang looked like he was sixty years old because of his constant illness.
"Jiang Tang, let's go fishing together today."
"Yeah."
The sun shone warmly on his body, and the pain he had suffered for decades seemed to have dissipated. Jiang Tang slowly closed his eyes.
"Drink crucian carp soup in the evening, and then we will make lanterns together tomorrow."
"Well..."
"Your Majesty has agreed to my resignation, and we will go to Jiangnan after the Chinese New Year."
"..."
"Go to Jiangnan for two years, and then we will go to the temple to eat vegetarian food."
"..."
"Actually, I can go anywhere, or I can stay in this courtyard all my life. As long as I stay with you, I will be happy to go anywhere." "..."
"Jiang Tang, you said you would stay with me for the rest of your life, right?"
“It’s so quiet in the yard.”
"The little wooden man is broken, can you fix it for me?"
"You haven't told me how to live alone."
"Jiang Tang...I'll give you the melon seeds and apricots, and I'll give them to you too. Just wait for me, okay?"
——
In 2020 AD, a tomb was discovered in the suburbs of Beishi, the capital of China.
After investigation, it was found that the owner of the tomb is one of the three major painters in Chinese history, the founder of the landscape painting school, and the tomb of the Zhao Dynasty.
Zhao Dynasty: AD 106-175, the history of painting is respectfully called Zhao Sheng, nicknamed Painting Sage. He created more than 600 paintings in his life. His paintings are called by later generations the leader in the history of Chinese painting and the famous painter Zhao Tang's uncle.
The discovery of Zhao Chao's tomb caused a sensation in the contemporary art world because the archaeological team discovered as many as 900 figure paintings from his tomb.
This discovery broke the rumor that Zhao Chao was the only painter in history who had never painted women, because the more than 900 paintings were all about women's voices and looks, and they were painted with sheer genius and superb technique.
These paintings were sent to the Beicheng History Museum. After restoration, researchers found that all of the more than 900 paintings in the tomb were of one person.
That is, the wife who was buried in the same coffin as Zhao Chao. There are not many records about his wife in history books.
The news that all nine hundred paintings were of one person was reported in the news, and contemporary people called Zhao Chao: He only painted one woman in his life.
The fool is finished!
This world was just a cookie from the beginning. It’s okay to relax and unwind once in a while, right?
