Chapter 106: Meet the Calligrapher
The next day of class, as soon as Liu Yan came to the classroom, she noticed that something was wrong between Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina, they used to sit next to each other, and they would help themselves occupy a seat.
At this time, Li Xiaoru sat alone in the corner of the last row, alone.
Wang Nina sat with a group of girls, looking at Li Xiaoru, pointing, and laughing.
Since the new semester, Wang Nina has indeed often been with Xu Zihan and them, but Li Xiaoru will also sit near them, and today's situation is obviously wrong.
Seeing Liu Yan walk into the classroom, Wang Nina and the other girls didn't know what to say, and there was another burst of laughter.
Liu Yan walked quickly to Li Xiaoru and sat down.
Li Xiaoru's face was very bad.
"Did you quarrel with Wang Nina?" she asked Li Xiaoru in a low voice.
"Don't mention the name, I'm out of friends with her!"
Liu Yan thought it was an ordinary awkward quarrel between girls, but Li Xiaoru grabbed her, leaned into her ear and said, "You stay away from Wang Nina in the future, I found that she has a problem with her character." ”
Last night's quarrel and Wang Nina's slamming the door did not make the grinning Li Xiaoru take it to heart.
But when she came to class this morning, Li Xiaoru heard from the chats of her classmates that they were rumoring that Liu Yan had a bad style, saying that Liu Yan had always had a crush on Tang Tu and had seduced him, and that she had met the rich second generation of the school, and she was eating and drinking. The so-called title of Hanfu goddess on the Internet was hyped up by herself at her own expense.
What shocked Li Xiaoru even more was that the classmates in the piano department actually thought that these rumors were reasonable:
First, they all saw Tang Tu come to the classroom to find Liu Yan;Second, many people saw Liu Yan and boys from other schools go to Starbucks last night;Third, they all know Liu Yan's piano level, her accompaniment to Xiao Ke'er is really not very powerful, they can play the electronic piano by themselves, they can achieve the same effect, Liu Yan is better than a good-looking face, it does seem to be hyped up by the water army.
Li Xiaoru didn't dare to tell Liu Yan these rumors, but these unpleasant words began to spread little by little in their departments like a chronic virus.
Liu Yan didn't know anything about it.
Two days later, Jiang Chengfeng called Liu Yan and informed her that the professor wanted to see her in person, and made an appointment.
Liu Yan came to Capital University as scheduled.
As one of the top universities in China, the humanistic environment and academic atmosphere of Capital University are completely different from those of the Conservatory, where 80% of the students on campus wear glasses, while the Conservatory of Music happens to be the opposite—there is only less than 20% myopia rate.
This is really the territory of the top students!
Liu Yan sighed.
Some of the students were carrying oversized school bags, and some were in a hurry with books in their hands, hurrying to class. In stark contrast, the classmates in Liu Yan's department, some people never bring textbooks to class, and some people don't go to the bookstore to buy books until the exam is about to be, everyone thinks that the knowledge in the books is too rigid and boring, and the instrumental music scores rely on innate talent and acquired hard practice.
After all, music and academia have different emphases.
Because Sun Weiwei also studied at Capital University, Liu Yan's former master never stepped into this university in the past, she was not only proud, but also inferior, she knew very well that she was not as good as Sun Weiwei except for her appearance.
"Little sister,"
Jiang Chengfeng's call came from behind Liu Yan, she turned around, Jiang Chengfeng ran over, panting and standing in front of her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I missed a little bit of time in class. ”
"It's okay, I've just arrived. ”
"That's good, that's good," Jiang Chengfeng smoothed out, "Let's go, I'll take you to the Academy of Letters." ”
The faculty of liberal arts at Capital University is a large and general concept, covering a wide range of majors, and the professor who met Liu Yan is Su Yi, the vice dean of the faculty of liberal arts, and he also has the title of dean of the Institute of Chinese Calligraphy at Capital University.
Jiang Chengfeng led Liu Yan to turn left and right to copy the path, walked to the depths of Capital University, and passed through a birch forest, and an antique building gradually came into Liu Yan's eyes.
This building is Biwa Zhuyong, carved railings and painted buildings, and there are two auspicious Rui beasts carved in stone at the entrance, which is magnificent and dignified, very much like a corner of the Forbidden City.
Liu Yan saw that the plaque on the side of the main entrance read "Institute of Chinese Calligraphy of Capital University" written in Li.
Thanks to Liu Yan's blessing, Jiang Chengfeng, an engineering student, has been here several times, and he brought Liu Yan to the door of the dean's office with a familiar car.
"I'll be waiting for you outside. ”
He walked out.
Liu Yan knocked lightly on the door.
"Please come in," was a very old voice.
She pushed open the door, and an old man with white hair, holding a brush, and a pair of eyes that saw through the vicissitudes of the world stared at her.
On the way here, Jiang Chengfeng introduced Su Yi to Liu Yan, Su Yi is a well-known calligrapher and Chinese scholar today, good at official calligraphy and regular script, and has made countless achievements in calligraphy and Chinese studies throughout his life, and is well-known at home and abroad.
The plaque of the research institute at the gate is written by him.
Su Yi is 84 years old this year, but he still insists on giving a public elective course on calligraphy to undergraduates every month, telling some introductory knowledge of calligraphy, and arousing young people's interest in calligraphy.
His calligraphy elective course was open to students from all faculties in the university, and was regarded by students as the "most difficult public elective course", and every time he attended a class, not only the classroom was full, but also the corridors and the corridors behind the classroom were full of students who came to observe, and even some young teachers also listened to the lectures.
Jiang Chengfeng gradually became interested in calligraphy because Liu Yan was writing calligraphy in the live broadcast room, and he also wanted to take Professor Su's calligraphy class, but he was unlucky and has not succeeded in grabbing a section so far.
"Hello, Professor Su," Liu Yan said respectfully.
Su Yi smiled, "Are you Liu Yan?" ”
Without Liu Yan introducing herself, he could see who she was.
"Please be seated," he asked Liu Yan to sit on the couch next to his desk.
Liu Yan thanked her and sat upright.
Su Yi put the brush on the pen holder and sat down opposite her, "I saw your calligraphy works on Weibo, there are a few questions, I really feel puzzled, I am always very persistent in questions, and I will not be in a good mood if I don't solve them, so I asked my assistant to find Jiang Chengfeng and ask him to ask you to help me answer it." ”
Su Yi's attitude was very kind, his tone was full of curiosity, and he didn't look at the other party as a child at all, but put on the posture of an elder, and did not hesitate to ask shamelessly.
Liu Yan put her posture more humble,
"What's your problem?"
"Who is the teacher who taught you seal calligraphy?Ouyang Shichong?Zhang Zhihai?...... Su Yi even said a few names, they are all calligraphers with a reputation comparable to him, specializing in seal script.
