The old wolves with a keen sense of smell have made slight adjustments from the moment the Shanghai market opened, although it is not a big move, but this slight increase, people with a heart can actually see that the backwater of the ancient ink industry has finally had a trace of waves.

Zhong Yue didn't know how the undercurrent of this stagnant water was surging, so he made an appointment with Cao Danqing to learn painting, and the rest of his leisure time was to copy the Lanting Collection at home. Don't look at the calligraphy, the law of the font is relaxed, but it is more difficult to copy. The structure of the words, relying on each other, borrows from each other, some words, it is pathological to take them out alone, but when they are put into the whole work, it is like a drunkard leaning on the pine, the flat boat is on the shore, and everything becomes natural.

Although Zhong Yue's nine potentials have achieved a little success, and his attainments in Xiaokai are becoming more and more sophisticated, in the face of this first book in the world, it is still so unsatisfactory to copy. Xingshu, in fact, is like a freehand painting, this feeling, the brewing of emotions is very important, otherwise after the Lanting rally, Wang Xizhi would not have said that he could no longer write the style of that day.

Zhong Yue copied it five or six times, and even the wrist of such a "hard-working" person as him couldn't stand it, which shows how hard those famous calligraphers were back then.

Someone rang the bell outside the door.

Not many people know about Zhong Yue moving to live in the study. In addition to the people of the Ouyang family, only Xi Qichang and Cao Danqing knew about the rest of the people. Cao Danqing naturally wouldn't be loudspeaker, lest the world would not mess up to publicize where his precious apprentice lived, he couldn't wait to lock Zhong Yue in his own home, learn painting in peace, and let those gorgeous old guys die of that rebellious heart.

As for Xi Qichang, he is also a low-key person on weekdays, and it is impossible to go around to publicize where Zhong Yue lives.

Who could that be?

Zhong Yue got up and went to open the door. There was nothing like a cat's eye on the door of the study, Zhong Yue opened the door directly, and saw that it was an old man in a suit, and then looked back, it was Xi Qichang, so he asked: "Xi Lao, didn't you say ......?"

"Don't worry, old man, I have a tight mouth, and I didn't even say anything to Lao Han. ”

It's not that Zhong Yue feels good about himself, the main thing is that the living environment of this study is too good, and Xi Lao can still bear it, in case of this publicity, several old friends of Ouyang Kaishan come to live for a few days every other day, then Zhong Yue will have a headache. He's not a nursing home here.

"Then this is ......"

"In Xiaxiling Printing Society, vice president of the Printing Society, Qian Yunyao. ”

"Xiling Printing Society?" Zhong Yue was slightly surprised.

Speaking of Xiling Printing Society, Zhong Yue is no stranger. This academic group, which was originally organized by seal studies, existed as early as the Qing Dynasty, and everyone in Jinshi at that time had stayed in this Xiling Printing Society. The first president is the modern master Wu Changshuo, which is enough to see the authority of this academic society. The master of sealing, who served as the president, was also a famous artist with a high reputation in China.

However, nowadays, for the public, the most known thing about Xiling Printing Society is an institution under it - Xiling Printing Society Publishing House. Ancient and modern calligraphy, published in Xiling, must be a fine product.

Due to the long source of Xiling and the abundant resources in hand, it is important for some famous collectors to treasure the engraved books, The original manuscript can be found to be published, so the general calligraphy lovers choose the copybook, will recognize the Xiling Printing Society published the copybook, and then extend, some literary works, etc., all have this aspect involved, now some calligraphers and painters want to increase their fame, want to publish their own calligraphy and painting collections, are to find someone to intercede, hope that the Xiling Printing Society can pass the draft, but in this era, it is a person, write something casually, even if you don't write something, you can find a third-rate publishing house to publish graffiti, but the reputation of the Xiling Printing Society is there, it is such a strict community system, and it is more difficult for the collection of calligraphy and painting to be drafted。

In addition to the in-service editors of the publishing house, they also have to pass the cross-examination of the directors of the printing agency, which has accumulated a century-old reputation in the industry.

Seeing Zhong Yue's somewhat dazed look, Xi Qichang broke the embarrassing atmosphere and said, "That's it, Zhong Yue." Lao Qian is my old friend in Lin'an. After he saw your Xiaokai work, he was very shocked and wanted to talk to you. ”

"Old Qian, Old Xi, please come inside. ”

"Good. ”

Qian Yunyao stepped into the threshold and looked inside, "Mr. Zhong's family background is solid enough." If you can still live in this kind of house in Shanghai, you can't do it with money. ”

Zhong Yue smiled, glanced at Xi Qichang, and didn't explain much, "Old Qian, please come here." ”

"Oh, good. ”

Xiang Ming served the cultivation Xuan, Zhong Yue sat on the sofa, and asked, "I don't know what is the purpose of Qian Lao's visit this time?"

"Oh, that's right. I am by mistake, I have read the full text of your original "Liujia Lingfei Sutra" in Huizhou, this time to Shanghai to visit friends, after tea and dinner and Lao Xi mentioned this matter, the two of them communicated, he handed me the manuscript of "Le Yi Theory", I can't believe it, this is from the hands of a young man in his twenties. ”

"So you ......"

Qian Yunyao took off the hat on his head, put it aside, and said, "That's the case." The rubbings of the Rokko Lingfei Sutra must have been read by anyone who studies the book, and you are no exception, right?"

"Hmm. I have also copied the Bohai engraving. ”

"Then you should have a deep understanding, whether it is the Bohai carving, the Wangyun Lou or the Zihuitang, they are all very different from the original ink, and even worlds apart. ”

Zhong Yue nodded, "Not bad." ”

Qian Yunyao said: "It's a pity that except for the forty-three lines, the rest of the dimensions have disappeared. ”

"This money is useless to you, it disappeared hundreds of years ago. "Zhong Yue is naturally not stupid enough to hand over the fifty-three line version that he just got in his hands to show them to the second elder, the husband is not guilty of his crimes, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.

Qian Yunyao nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, I understand this, but it has always been a pity that the Lingfei Sutra is incomplete, so I have always intended to publish a copy of the "Liujia Lingfei Sutra" to fill the shortcomings of the engraved book and the regret caused by the original incompleteness. ”

"Publishing, then you came to me......

Qian Yunyao smiled and said, "That's right, I came to you for an appointment." On behalf of the Xiling Printing Society, I came to ask for a draft. ”

Xi Qichang was also a little surprised, he originally thought that Qian Yunyao came over just to communicate with Zhong Yue, but he didn't expect to directly make an appointment for publication?

"Old Qian, don't be kidding, what can I publish......"

Qian Yunyao said: "I'm really not joking, so I published "Liujia Lingfei Sutra". ”

"Do I have enough qualifications?"

Qian Yunyao looked at Zhong Yue and said, "I'll give you a pressure on the field, do you dare?"
