"Such a thick book, what else does it need someone to add to and revise? Are you asking me to revise it because you think the lyrics are not well-written and elegant enough?" Yang Tinghe was moved by the words "chaste and righteous daughter". He stroked the pages with his thumb and randomly opened a page from the middle. At first glance, he saw two lifelike light ink embroidered pictures.
The ink color is slightly gray, and the lines are sparse and dense, depicting two handsome Jinyiwei with different clothes and postures but similar appearances, like living people embedded in paper.
He was stunned for a moment, and asked Li Dongyang: "Are these two the Jinyiwei who caught the thief? The painting is really exquisite, and the side view is especially good. It is not drawn in a posture of bowing the head and hunching the shoulders, and the whole body is full of vitality. And the deep and light ink can also distinguish the five colors, which is actually better than the popular color pictures outside."
Li Dongyang lowered his eyes and glanced at them, then smiled and said, "This painting was done with a graphite pen, which is a little different from ordinary ink and brush. If you look closely, these two paintings are of one person, who is the captain of the Jinyiwei who leads the officers to patrol the capital and arrest bandits in the play. His surname is Xie - he is the captain Xie who is now under the order to sweep away the thugs and evildoers in and around the capital."
He could see that the two resembled the same person, but ordinary painters would paint this young and handsome figure with the same face, but with slightly different expressions, so he subconsciously thought that these two were painted in the same way.
