Chapter 777 - Calligraphy and Brushes, I'm Sorry for Your Trouble!
Li Xuehao is still shopping, because there is one last thing...... No, there are two things I didn't buy, that is, the brush and the calligraphy of the brush. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, these two things are also available in RB, but Mingyue Yuhua asked him to buy them in Hong Kong, probably because she wants to learn Chinese and wants to use something more "authentic", which can stimulate her desire to learn more?
Of course, this is just a guess in his heart, and only Mingyue Yuhua knows what the truth is.
Under the leadership of my cousin Fang Jiawen, I came to a rather ancient shop, and the walls of the store were full of calligraphy and paintings, all of which were made with the stroke of a brush.
Italics, official calligraphy, Song style, and line calligraphy are all available, and as for ink paintings, there are relatively few, and the store is still mainly to show calligraphy.
The boss was an old man in his sixties and seventies, wearing a pair of glasses and an ordinary suit jacket, and he looked like a university professor.
There are already some age spots on his face, but he is in good spirits, and his face is full of redness.
When Li Xuehao and the two entered the store, the boss was writing on the spread out rice paper, holding the wolf hair in his right hand, his wrist did not move at all, and the pen was waved in one go.
Hearing the footsteps of someone walking into the store, he didn't look up and continued his waving.
Li Xuehao's understanding of calligraphy is as profound as that of tea, in addition to cultivating sentiment, this thing also has a certain help for cultivation, so he has also been immersed in it for a period of time before, and his eyesight is naturally not bad.
The boss uses a thin gold body, and the pen is written in the Northern Song Dynasty Zhou Dunyi's "Ai Lian Said": "The flowers of water, land, grass and trees, the lovely ones are very ......"
The so-called thin gold body, in fact, is also a kind of regular script style, created by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, the handwriting is thin, to thin but does not lose its flesh, because it is different from the general Jin Kai and Tang Kai, the personality is extremely strong, so it has become a special originality.
The boss's thin gold body is already very charming, and in Li Xuehao's opinion, ordinary people need at least decades of work to reach this level. And everyone who can do this is a generation of calligraphers.
Looking at the boss who was focusing on writing, Li Xuehao looked at the surrounding environment again, the space of this small shop is not large, only a dozen square meters, except for a rather classical desk next to the door, that is, where the boss is standing now, there is no other furniture.
It doesn't look like a calligraphy and painting shop at all.
"Grandpa Zhou. Fang Jiawen stood in front of the desk and looked at it for a while, and exclaimed sweetly.
The boss probably heard a familiar voice, so he raised his head and glanced at it, and smiled kindly on his face: "It's Xiao Wenwen." Then continue to bow down the unfinished calligraphy.
Did it turn out to be an acquaintance? Li Xuehao on the side finally knew why Fang Jiawen brought him here, it was to solicit business for the boss she knew.
Fang Jiawen seemed to know the boss's temper, and did not continue to bother him, so he stood aside and watched, and waited until he put away the pen, and then said, "Grandpa Zhou, I brought you a business." ”
"Thank you, Wenwen. The boss put the pen away and looked at the "Ai Lian Said" he had written, and then turned his attention to the "customer" who was solicited.
When he saw the familiar face, his face was slightly startled, and he looked carefully: "This is ......"
"It's my cousin, how about it, does it look like my father-in-law?" Fang Jiawen was a little proud, and hugged the arm of someone next to him.
Li Xuehao let her hold it, and he didn't push it away.
The boss smiled and nodded: "If I hadn't known that it was impossible, I would have thought that your grandfather had rejuvenated." ”
"Haha, Grandpa Zhou, you really know how to talk. Fang Jiawen laughed.
The boss said: "Say, what do you want to buy, I will write some calligraphy and paintings here, as well as homemade brushes, these things you young people will not like, is it for your grandfather?"
"No, it's my cousin who wants to buy it. Fang Jiawen pursed his lips.
"Oh?" the boss was obviously surprised, young people nowadays don't know how to learn calligraphy, but play games online.
"I want to buy a notebook and two brushes. Li Xuehao said what he wanted to buy.
The boss looked at him again, confirmed what he said, and then said: "I have all kinds of calligraphy here, which one do you want? If you are a beginner, I recommend starting with regular script or official script." ”
"Let's write it in regular script. Li Xuehao nodded, the boss's thin gold body has become a generation of everyone, it must be that he is more proficient in regular script.
"Hmm. The boss answered, and opened the classical desk drawer, which contained all kinds of brushes, of various sizes, and a lot of calligraphy, which seemed to have been written and copied by himself.
"In italics, just this one, beginner's brush, should not be too heavy......" The boss picked it out, and handed him the calligraphy and brush, "What do you think?"
"Yes. Li Xuehao naturally has no opinion, Mingyue Yuhua did not specify what copybook to buy, he used to think that he could buy it in any store, and now there are calligraphy and brushes carefully selected by the boss for beginners, which is really suitable.
"How much do these cost?" Li Xuehao asked the price.
The boss looked at him with a smile: "Since it is the grandson of an old friend, the first time we meet, I have to give some meeting gifts, so there is no need to mention the money." ”
Li Xuehao was slightly stunned when he heard this, is it actually free?
"Oh, you can take it, cousin, Grandpa Zhou is not short of this money. Fang Jiawen on the side saw him in a daze, and hurriedly shook his arm and said.
"This ......" Li Xuehao hesitated, of course he could see that the boss was not short of money, he was obviously running this place because of his preferences, if he was short of money, just write a few words, and it is estimated that a lot of people will send money to the door.
It's just that he is really embarrassed to accept other people's "meeting gifts", after all, he didn't buy it for himself, not to mention, it is still for the sake of his grandfather's old friend who does not agree.
"That's it, Old Zhou, you gave me a meeting gift, and as a junior, it's not good not to return a gift to you. Li Xuehao thought about what kind of gift he would give him back, and the mobile phone on his body suddenly vibrate.
"I'm sorry. Li Xuehao took out his mobile phone from his body, and the name displayed on the screen was actually Mrs. Hosoya. It is said that after exchanging phone numbers with Mrs. Hosoya, this is the first time I have received a call from her.
"Hello, madam, is there something wrong?" Li Xuehao walked a little farther away, but his proficient Japanese still made the boss and Fang Jiawen on the side hear, the former eyes flashed a little, and the latter looked curious and dazed.
"Zhenzhongjun, are you in HongKong? I just received a call from Miss Yao'er, she also went to HongKong, she wants to ask you for something now, but she can't contact you, so please ask me about the hotel where you live, if it's inconvenient......"
"No, ma'am, it's nothing, I'll send you the name and address of the hotel later. ”
"I'm really sorry for your trouble, Manaka-kun!" said Eriko Hosoya over there politely and apologetically. (To be continued.) )
