Tang Ding rushed to Shu's house, and Shu Lao happened to sit on the stone table in the courtyard with two people wearing short-sleeved Tang costumes and drinking tea.

"This is what I told you about Tang Ding, that pair of words is from his hand, how about it? Hehe, Xiao Tang, come, I'll introduce you." ”

Shu Lao introduced Tang Ding and the two people present.

One of the two people here is named Fan Qing, who is the same as Shu Lao, with a cultural atmosphere, which should be the insider Shu Lao said. The other person is named Li Handong, although he is also a little cultured, but his eyes are shining with a cunning light, and he should be very economically minded.

Sure enough, Shu Laoyi learned that Fan Qing is the same as Shu Lao, they are friends in the calligraphy and painting world, and this Li Handong is also somewhat famous in the calligraphy and painting industry, but he is not famous for writing, but for collecting, and even in the entire collection world, he is a famous figure.

Shu Lao admired Tang Ding's words very much, he used to try his best to accept Tang Ding as a disciple, but was rejected by Tang Ding, today friends Fan Qing and Li Handong in the circle are coming, Shu Lao specially invited Fan Qing and the two as lobbyists, hoping that Tang Ding can worship his disciples.

To be honest, in Shu Hai's eyes, Tang Ding's words are indeed very aura, and Shu Lao also saw Tang Ding's potential in calligraphy, but in fairness, calligraphy must not only have aura, but more importantly, it must have a foundation, Tang Ding's penmanship is still slightly immature, but it is extremely plastic.

From the first meeting, the words that amazed Tang Ding, to the words that Shu Lao saw again yesterday, although the two are not the same font, but the aura is still the same, which can't help but make Shu Lao love talents.

Yesterday, Shu Lao looked at Tang Ding's paintings again, with a few brushstrokes, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and the trend of the mountains and rivers rushed out, which made Shu Lao even more excited.

In Shu Lao's heart, even if Tang Ding does not worship under his own door, Shu Lao is confident that Tang Ding's calligraphy and painting will become famous all over the world sooner or later. However, whether this kind of fame will be famous in the world for ten years, twenty years, or a hundred years later, no one can say.

However, if Tang Ding can worship under his own door, then Shu Lao is confident that with his influence in the calligraphy and painting world, coupled with his careful teaching of various basic techniques, he will open up the way for Tang Ding, and he will immediately make Tang Ding famous all over the world.

In fact, Fan Qing's arrival was also instructed by Shu Lao.

Who made the two friends?

Fan Qing brought Li Handong here because Li Handong was better at persuading people.

"Xiao Tang, good characters, good characters, I don't know who taught you this calligraphy?" Although Fan Qing was also amazed by Tang Ding's words, after all, it was a major matter of accepting apprentices, and it was not allowed to be sloppy. If someone else has another teacher, then it is the same as in the martial arts world, without the permission of the teacher, and then switching to someone else is a deception of the teacher and the ancestor.

"The fruit is coming, the fruit is coming. Singer smiled and brought out two large plates of washed fruits, peaches, pears, and watermelons from the study.

"Gege, haha, I'm sorry for you to wash the fruit for everyone again. Fan Qing looked at Singer with a grin.

Fan Qing and Shu Hai are good friends, and they almost grew up watching Singer.

"Uncle Fan, it's not troublesome, I can learn a lot by standing next to you great calligraphers, in fact, I still take advantage of it, hehe. Singer smiled sweetly, with a quirky face.

"You kid, you have a sweet mouth. Fan Qing said with a smile.

After laughing, Tang Ding also explained that his character was a wild road, without anyone's guidance.

"Xiao Tang, your words are very aura, I have the same opinion as Shu Lao, yes, yes, by the way, you didn't worship under Shu Lao's door, right? If you don't worship, you can worship under my door, I can systematically teach you calligraphy and painting skills, forget it, Shu Lao's words are a hundred times better than me, I still don't offer ugliness, you still worship under Shu Lao's door." ”

After listening to Fan Qing's words, Tang Ding didn't speak.

When he met Shu Lao for the first time, Tang Ding really hadn't heard of Shu Lao's fame, and he didn't know Shu Lao's status in the calligraphy and painting world at all, and he didn't think that calligraphy and painting could still eat, so he didn't hesitate to reject Shu Lao's suggestion to accept apprentices.

However, after Tang Ding went to work in Fenghe, especially when he entered the appraisal department of Fenghe, he came into contact with a lot of calligraphy works, and he knew the value of a lot of calligraphy and painting.

However, those high-value calligraphy and painting works are all from the hands of famous artists, and it is difficult for an unknown person like himself to stand out in the calligraphy and painting world.

This time when he came to Shu's hometown, Shu Lao sincerely invited Tang Ding to write, Tang Ding did not hesitate to write and paint, and he did not let Shu Lao guide his own ideas.

"Xiao Tang, where is your family from?Do you have brothers and sisters?Have your parents given you the edification of your interests?" Seeing that Tang Ding didn't answer for a long time, Li Handong turned around and asked about Tang Ding's situation.

"I'm from Yancheng, I'm the only one in my family, and my parents are ordinary people, and they run a small restaurant. ”

"Oh, the restaurant? Is it Lu cuisine? I heard that Yancheng is the birthplace of Lu cuisine, well, I drool when I think about it. ”

"Where, where, it's just a small dumpling restaurant, basically no stir-frying. ”

Although some customers who eat dumplings will also ask for some stir-fried dishes, stir-fried vegetables are really not the main business, and most of them go for dumplings.

"Dumplings?Okay, do you have three fresh fillings?"

"The main thing is the three fresh fillings, all handmade. ”

Unconsciously, Li Handong had already started a family routine with Tang Ding, and in the family routine, he found out Tang Ding's family situation clearly.

"Xiao Tang, you have been out for a few years, your parents have indeed suffered, you see that you obviously have a good opportunity, can change the fate of your family, so that your parents can live a good life, why not seize it? ”

Li Handong's words made Tang Ding think deeply and moved Tang Ding.

Tang Ding didn't expect that Shu Lao, who had been rejected by himself, would once again have the idea of accepting himself as an apprentice, and also invited two very famous people to be lobbyists for him, which made Tang Ding very moved.

"After Shu Lao saw your words for the first time, he respected them. After you wrote this time, he slept next to the bed at night, just to absorb more things, he studied hard at such an age, hoping to get some other gains from your words, he wanted to use his lifelong skills to guide you, it was really well-intentioned!"

Even if Tang Ding didn't mean this, it also made Li Handong have the idea of apprenticeship. What he said was so demagogic. I immediately grasped the thoughts in front of me, and I desperately wanted my parents to live a good life.

What's more, Tang Ding already had the intention of asking Shu Lao for advice.

"Tang Ding, to be honest, I really have the heart of Aicai, and I really want to take you as an apprentice. If you don't agree, then I will try my best to share some of my experience with you, I still have some face in the calligraphy and painting industry, in my lifetime, I will also try my best to help you, show you our good Chinese calligraphy, let's do a New Year's friend, it's not bad, don't have pressure, hehe. ”

Tang Ding was moved to tears, Shu Lao spoke very realistically, and it was really touching, Tang Ding immediately knelt on one knee, holding a teacup, "Master is above, please drink tea!"

Shu Lao took Tang Ding's tea and drank it happily, but the tea was a little hot, and he coughed when it was hot.

Singer hurried to pat his grandfather on the back.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm happy, happy. You are my last apprentice, and I am so happy today. ”

The words of Shu Lao's last apprentice were very sudden, which surprised Fan Qing and Li Handong.

"Old Shu, this decision is a bit sudden, isn't it?"

"Not suddenly, I've already decided. ”

Ordinary people accept apprentices, and they will never say anything about the last apprentice, because they don't know whether this apprentice will be able to inherit everything they have, and they are afraid that this apprentice will not be able to carry forward their own.

The last apprentice means that he is a closed disciple who will inherit the mantle of the master in the future.

"Actually, I'm also afraid that I will take you as an apprentice, and I will impose some of my writing habits on you, so that you will lose your aura, so I am also a little entangled. But I've thought about it for a long time, I'll just tell you some of my own experience, how you write, how to understand, I will never limit you, I want to see you push the old and create a perfect font. ”

Shu Lao's words are not only an affirmation of Tang Dingzi, but also an expectation for him.

Another typeface? That's too big to say. Since the inheritance of Chinese culture, it is recognized that there are five major fonts, Kai, Seal, Xing, Cao, and Li.

However, in addition to these five fonts, there are many self-contained characters, all of whom are masters, European body, Yan body, thin gold body, Shu body and so on.

The European body was created by Ouyang Xiu, the Yan body was created by Yan Zhenqing, the thin gold body was created by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, and the Shu body was created by Shu Hai's father, Shu Tong.

Shu Lao actually said that Tang Ding would create another font in addition to these fonts, and it was already foreseeable that Tang Ding would be a grandmaster-level figure in the calligraphy world, and he would open a sect, what a high evaluation!

After Tang Ding served tea to Shu Lao, he was considered an official disciple of Shu Lao.

Seeing this, Fan Qing and Li Handong congratulated one after another. Although Singer said congratulations, he seemed to be dissatisfied, "Obviously I am about the same age, what about this generation!"

Shu Lao has several well-known disciples in the calligraphy world, all of whom are important figures in calligraphy associations around the world. Now Tang Ding is equal to these people in terms of reputation, and even the reputation of his Shu Lao's closed disciple is even worse.

......

The old house of the connoisseur is still in full swing these two days.

Finally, Xing Muliu found a separate opportunity and told her grandfather Xing Guofeng about the matter she and Tang Ding had analyzed, and Xing Guofeng immediately looked for a new house and moved immediately.

The efficiency of the connoisseur is very high, and it may not be difficult for others to find another place with an elegant environment, but it is not difficult for the rich and powerful connoisseur.
