I was 'gathering crowds to gamble' in arithmetic class, and no one was beatable, and after that, my disciples kept asking me to challenge, and the situation became more and more serious. Later, I learned that Zhang Liang had expanded the exempted subjects to Yan Lu's 'music' and 'royal'. As long as you can defeat me, four of the six arts can be exempted from the exam, and all of them will be counted as excellent, which is really a very important reward for the disciples.

I feel melancholy...... Why did Yan Lu always indulge Zhang Liang so much, he didn't raise any objections, so he acquiesced. And the only thing in the entire Little Sage Village that will stand up and discipline Zhang Liang is now worried about the survival of Confucianism, and he can't take care of us nonsense.

So, being tossed by Zhang Liang like this, I always had to pay attention to avoid the disciples who came to challenge me when I walked around the village, which was very troublesome, so I simply changed a whole set of men's clothes to hide people's eyes, and finally quieted down.

My competition with Fu Lin continues today, and the next step is to compare the 'books' in the six arts. This 'book' contains many contents, such as literacy methods, writing methods, calligraphy, composition, etc. I made an appointment with Volyn to try one of them: calligraphy. Each made a pair of works and presented them to Xunzi for judgment, and after I asked Xunzi for permission in advance, I came to the chess room with Fu Lin on time.

We presented the works to Xunzi, he looked at it expressionlessly for a while, lowered his eyes and said: "Fu Lin's calligraphy can be seen to practice a lot on weekdays, the strokes are smooth and graceful, and he has mastered the characteristics of the small seal "graceful and clear", round and beautiful, natural and vivid. He paused, looked up at me, and asked, "Ziyu, where did you learn your calligraphy in terms of penmanship structure and chapters?" ”

I've been doing calligraphy since I was a child, and I love seal script. The work I presented to Xunzi this time is my small seal of Deng Shiru, which is of course different from the standard font Qin Seal that is popular today, but has unique characteristics. The Qin seal used in the contemporary era is a font made by Li Si who is responsible for deleting and simplifying the original seal. In order to promote a unified script, Li Si also personally wrote seven chapters of the "Cangjie Chapter" as a study textbook for people to copy. "Cangjie Chapter" to the later generations, has lost a lot of content, only a few fragments remained, I also specially read this book in the library, in order to see the whole picture of this post.

Those who learn calligraphy know that Li Si has a great reputation in the calligraphy world, and may be the first calligrapher in the history of Chinese calligraphy with a famous surname and works circulating. When the calligraphy teacher told me about this history of calligraphy, I was also very surprised, how to say that calligraphers always have such an indifferent and quiet birth temperament in our hearts, and I didn't expect to be with Li Si, who was quite scheming in history.

I thought for a moment and said, "The small seal was created by Master Li Si, and the brushwork is extremely exquisite. The concubine heard that Lord Li Si once boasted about Haikou: Five hundred and thirty years after my death, there should be someone to do it for me. So on a whim, he dared to make some changes in his calligraphy, and he hoped that his uncle would give him more advice on what was wrong. ”

The corners of Xunzi's mouth raised slightly: "Ziyu's tone is not small." But the old man thinks that your words are indeed above Li Si. The glyphs are square and round, the posture is novel, the body is generous, the bone strength is tough, and it also integrates Cheng Miao's Qin Lizhang method in it, and the style is unique. It's really a masterpiece, but at first glance, every word is very distinctive, but the overall layout is still a little scattered and not stable enough. ”

"The concubine is just clumsy, thank you Uncle for the order. ”

"Hmm. Xunzi nodded, closed his eyes again, and meditated.

I understood in my heart that Xunzi's gesture meant that we could leave, so I bowed to Fu Lin and said goodbye.

In this round of calligraphy competition, there is no need to say the winner or loser, naturally I won. Xunzi actually commented that my calligraphy attainments were higher than Li Si's, and Fu Lin was also very surprised, took my work and looked at it, and said in amazement: "My sister's words are really different, no wonder Uncle Xun praised it so much." ”

I sneered, a little weak-hearted, I just opened a plug-in and played a little clever. I took Fu Lin's work and unfolded it, and I also wanted to appreciate it and praise it by the way, but I was suddenly shocked by the signature of the payment.

I was a little confused, and suddenly I was stabbed in my heart. I settled down and asked tentatively, "Sister Xiaolin, is this your 'word'?"

"Well, after the ceremony, the words are taken according to the generation. Although the moral is good, it is really not good to read. When I think about it, after I got married, I felt so uncomfortable being called a comb all day long. But I can decide this, my sister doesn't want to make fun of it. ”

Fu Lin's unintentional words hit my heart heavily. There is indeed no record of Zhang Liang's wife, but there seems to be a rumor circulating that Zhang Liang's wife is a lady, and she was rescued by Zhang Liang and became a wife. At that time, I was not interested in delving into who Zhang Liang's wife was, but I glanced at such a statement a few times, and I was deeply impressed because the name was so easy to remember. Although this statement is not from the official history, it is difficult to say that it is conclusive, but this is too coincidental! This kind of accident will definitely not exceed the odds of winning the lottery! Zhang Liang actually has a woman named Shuzi next to him, and she still admires him!

There was a chill in my heart, and I originally wanted to praise a few words of Fu Lin's calligraphy, but I couldn't spit out a word.

"Sister, what are you thinking about?"

"Oh, nothing. ”

"In the first two games, I lost to you, and then we have to try horseback archery and piano skills, which are all my specialties, sister, be careful." ”

"Hmm...... Okay......." I replied absentmindedly and handed her back Fu Lin's calligraphy, my hands still trembling slightly. It's just a rumor, it's just a coincidence, I have convinced myself countless times in my heart, but why is there still no feeling of settlement in my heart, and the dull love can't be dissipated. Maybe it's really because I care too much that I'm so suspicious.

"Sister, aren't you, are you afraid of losing to me?"

I forced out a smile: "Let's go to the racecourse, if we go late, it will affect Senior Brother Zilu's class." ”

Horseback riding is not what I am good at, naturally I can't compare to Fu Lin, I originally wanted to do my best, but now I have no interest in competing. As soon as she set off, she was obviously much faster, and in a short time she was a long distance. Looking at her heroic back, I was a little cranky. Even if it's such a coincidence, she and Zhang Liang actually seem to be a good match...... I was distressed in my heart, and it was hard to convince myself not to think about the facts in front of me.......

He was not in a state at all, he was on a horse, but his mind was not riding a horse at all, and he didn't know that he had run a fork in the road, and he was about to rush to the fence on the side. I jerked the reins, but I couldn't brake, and the horse, frightened by my sudden movements, took a leap over the fence and staggered away in the direction of the pavilion on the side. I was completely confused, I didn't jump the horse, I didn't know how to stabilize the frightened horse, and there were many bamboo slips and a stove for making tea in the pavilion in front of me, and if it caught fire, it would be a disaster. Just when I was riding a tiger, I seemed to see a long strip of bamboo flying towards this side, hitting the horse, the horse neighed, braked sharply, and collapsed. On horseback, I fell down, thinking that I was going to hit the ground, so I quickly rotated my body to cushion the force, and when I was about to land, I felt that I was being fished out by someone and fell into an arms.

"Ziyu, is that you?" A trace of embarrassment flashed on Yan Lu's face, and he hurriedly straightened me and let go of his hand.

"Senior Brother Zilu!" I reacted, I was wearing men's clothes, no wonder he looked at me with such a surprised look, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I almost ruined your pavilion." ”

Yan Lu shook his head: "Why is Ziyu wandering while riding a horse?"

I frowned, I have never been used to pretending to anything in front of Yan Lu, and the expression on my face revealed my thoughts, but this is not the time to talk.

"It's just a moment of carelessness. I smiled and saw that the bamboo slip in Yan Lu's hand was off the line, and then I understood where the bamboo piece just now came from, and squeezed my eyes at him, "Senior brother, you are really powerful, and the bamboo slip can also be used as a weapon." "I picked up the bamboo pieces on the ground and handed them to Yan Lu.

Yan Lu smiled lightly, looked at me a little helplessly, and didn't say much, just with that strange look, and the eyes poured out of his brother's doting, it was really silent and sound.

Such a gentle and tranquil face is definitely worthy of the princess's life. I took out the brocade in my sleeve and handed it to Yan Lu, and said, "Senior brother, this is what the princess asked me to give you." ”

Yan Lu was stunned, and the smile was hidden at the corner of his mouth: "This is?"

"If you see it, you'll know. Seeing that Yan Lu still didn't take it, I stuffed it directly into his hand, "Don't let down someone's wishes." It was obviously said to Yan Lu, but he inadvertently made his heart feel sad.

His brows furrowed slightly, and the roots of his ears flushed slightly: "This is really inappropriate.......

"What's wrong!" The mood is not good, seeing Yan Lu twisted like this, this time it is even more unlucky, a peerless princess is so bold to pursue you What else is this inappropriate and inappropriate, it is really infuriating, I suddenly looked at Yan Lu with some anger, "This is also for the good of the princess, senior brother, if you believe me, don't waste my hard work." ”

It was the first time for him to speak in such a tone as Yan Lu, as if he had eaten gunpowder, he looked at me with a worried expression, he must have thought I was too abnormal. He was about to ask something, but Fu Lin had already finished the race, dismounted and walked over.

When she saw the slumped horses, she asked me, "Sister, are you alright?"

"It's okay, it's okay. The horse was frightened for some reason, and it was the senior brother who subdued it in time. I answered.

Originally, I should have had a good chat with Yan Lu about his relationship problems, but today I was in a mess, so I didn't say anything more to Yan Lu, so as not to say the wrong thing, but to help the princess. I said goodbye directly: "Senior brother, I still have to go to the archery range with Sister Xiaolin, and I'll talk to you later." ”

Yan Lu sighed lightly, and looked like me helplessly.

I walked a little farther away with Fu Lin, and looked back at Yan Lu, who was still standing in place. Seeing that he took out a handkerchief and looked down, he immediately put the handkerchief into his sleeve, and the hair hanging down from his ears fluttered in the breeze, covering the expression of his side face.

Did the princess's bold true feelings make the quiet lake in Yan Lu's heart ripple again?
