Before I knew it, three years had passed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At the end of March this year, it is another season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is a good day for spring flowers to bloom in the south of the Yangtze River.

Falling Star Tower, in a small courtyard.

At the end of the day, it was not yet dawn. An Ran had already washed up under the service of the maid, and sat in the study early to practice calligraphy. In the past year, day and night, the writing has returned to the six successes of the previous life.

An Ran lived with his grandparents in his previous life, and was nurtured by two old people since he was a child, from the age of three to learn calligraphy and painting, and worked diligently every day until he died unexpectedly at the age of twenty-eight, a total of 25 years, so many years have already formed his own calligraphy style. One of the best is the line of calligraphy, the font is chic, elegant, vivid and smooth, flowing clouds, full of will, self-contained, and then also practiced regular script, Lishu, hairpin flower small seal, thin gold and other fonts.

In terms of painting, flower and bird painting is preferred, and he likes to paint all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.

If calligraphy and painting are divided into various levels, there should be beginner, beginner, intermediate, advanced, master, grandmaster, grandmaster, and Tao. In his previous life, An Ran reached the master-level level in calligraphy, and formed his own unique style at the beginning. And the regular script is a senior level, the hairpin flower small seal has an intermediate level, in the official book, the thin gold body is only a beginner level. With painting, it is also just breaking through to an advanced level.

In this life, as early as a year ago, when An Ran was three years old, he moved out of Aunt Liu's Youlan Courtyard according to the rules and moved to the Falling Star Building specially opened by the Shen family for boys.

The children of the Shen family will be enlightened after they are three years old, and because of their age, only An Ran and Brother Jue are the only ones who are enlightened and learned, and the others have already moved out of the backyard. In this year, An Ran followed the plan he came up with, disguising himself as a self-motivated person who likes to read books, but no matter how hard he tries to learn, he can't do well.

When he first began to practice calligraphy, Enron was particularly outstanding in calligraphy because of his foundation in learning calligraphy for more than 20 years in his previous life. Even though Enron tried to hide it, he still attracted the praise of the master.

Although the eldest lady Su didn't say anything on the surface after she found out, even some servants of the Shen family were faintly crowding out An Ran's mother and son.

Later, it was Shen Yi, the uncle of the Shen family, who heard that his son was very good at calligraphy, so he called An Ran to ask An Ran about his homework, and rewarded An Ran with a gold wire inkstone and told him to practice diligently. This made the situation of An Ran's mother and son better.

After that, An Ran only showed his talent in calligraphy, but in terms of the books he had to memorize for enlightenment at his age, An Ran made a dull appearance.

Every time the master assigned the homework, even if he carefully reviewed it after school, when the master asked questions when he entered the school, he still made it look like he couldn't memorize it, or he stumbled on his back. The enlightened master sighed, "Rotten wood cannot be carved." "It's a pity that I have a talent for calligraphy.

On the contrary, Shen Zijue, the son-in-law born to the Su family, has a lot of talent in reading and has won the praise of his master. Cheap father Shen Yi is more interested in him.

And Aunt Liu is also good compared to the other aunts in the big house, in the past three years, she has just taken care of her two children wholeheartedly, has been keeping to herself, staying in Youlan Courtyard honestly, and not daring to break the rules easily.

In the past three years, a lot has happened in the Shen Mansion.

Master Shen Qixun was re-elected as the prefect of Suzhou, and the Shen family remained in Suzhou. After the first birthday banquet of An Ran, the uncle of the Shen family, Shen Yi, left home to take up a post in Qingyang County.

On the one hand, the eldest lady Su is not easy to go out because the child is still young. On the other hand, the old lady said that she wanted the eldest lady to stay at home and fulfill her filial piety, so the eldest lady did not take office with her husband. Instead, she sent Aunt Ma to go, and the old lady named Aunt Lin to follow.

At the end of her three-year term, Aunt Ma gave birth to another son for Dafang, Pei Ge'er, who is now two years old.

Shen Qian, the second room, was admitted to the second class Jinshi two years ago, and stayed in the Hanlin Academy in the capital to serve as a Jishi. The whole family of the second room moved to the capital.

After Shen Jin took the official career in the big house, he took over the accounts left by the big house and took care of the family's property.

The youngest son, Shen Nuo, is studying abroad, and has been lifted at the age of 19 and has not yet married.

Crossing her hometown Shen Huirong returned to Suzhou with her second family during the New Year, An Ran saw that her cultivation in the past three years had actually been promoted to the Jindan stage, and An Ran's non-stop cultivation for three years was now only the peak of the early stage of refining, and there was still an opportunity to break through to the middle stage.

I saw that Shen Huirong was at a young age, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and helped the second lady to be a housekeeper at a young age. Although the relationship between the old lady and the second lady Zhang is not very harmonious, in the end, the sixth girl Shen Huirong is the granddaughter of the old lady, and now the sixth girl not only has excellent appearance and ability, but also can make the old lady happy, and she has improved the relationship between the old lady and the second lady in the middle.

The two sons born by the second lady are also very good, and the eldest son, Shen Ziwen, was even more talented at the age of thirteen last year, and he was the first person among the juniors to show talent.

With three children, the status of the second lady Zhang as the mother of the second room is even more unshakable. Even Aunt Fu, who hurt the sixth girl Shen Huirong back then, was confined to the courtyard, and even the old lady, the aunt, did not intercede for her.

The study was quiet, and there was no sound except for the sound of the pen touching the rice paper when writing. The bookcase is next to the window, and the small wooden window is carved with various patterns, which is simple and beautiful. There is a gold wire inkstone in the upper left corner of the bookcase of Nuoda, which is the one that Shen Yi awarded to An Ran that day. Drip water onto the inkstone, the inkstone will turn into a faint gold, so the name of the golden wire inkstone, is more precious, even Shen Yi is only two pieces, and it is not easy to come by.

On the top of the bookcase, there are enlightenment books such as "Analects", "Thousand Character Text" and "Hundred Family Names". A stack of blank rice paper and a few sheets of rice paper that have been filled with large characters are placed separately on each side.

At this time, An Ran sat upright at the desk, holding the pen in his right hand, and his left hand was palmed down flat so that he could hold down the paper, and he was engrossed in the pen and ink. After a long while, An Ran put down the brush, picked up the rice paper that had just been filled with words with his hand, and admired his own handwriting. Thanks to the style of writing in his previous life, he was inclined to the ancient style, and he has been striving to pursue a smart and elegant font style, rarely with a female style, otherwise the characteristics of so many years are really difficult to change. It's to be seen by others.,In this situation where most people abide by the four words "words are like people", it is really possible for people to think that the words are written by women when they see the words, although they have always thought that they are women, but they don't want others to think so.

An Ran played with the big characters he wrote for a while, and it was time for the heart to cultivate. Thinking so. An Ran stood up and opened the long gap that had been open against the window of the bookcase.

Suddenly, a cool and fragrant spring breeze came to his face, and An Ran couldn't help but tighten his clothes. The crisp sound of birdsong also came in, and the chirping was refreshing to listen to.

An Ran returned to the bookcase and sat cross-legged. Calm down and slowly run the Nirvana Sutra, running the soul power in the soul over and over again. The colorful aura in the room also entered the body with the operation of the exercises at this time, some of them remained in the body, and the other part continued to penetrate into the soul with the trajectory of the exercises. Soon, An Ran was completely immersed in cultivation.

With the passage of time, the sun is about to rise in the distance, and the purple sun essence enters the body from the Baihui acupoint of An Ran, and then is pulled by the exercises, passing through the body and converging into the soul, constantly tempering the seven spirits. At this time, An Ran, who was immersed in cultivation, only felt a shock in his body, and slowly began to heat up, as if there was a fire burning in his body.

An Ran knew that it was the sun essence that had been absorbed into his body, so he was even more careful and did not dare to be distracted at all, so as not to harm the physical body that had not practiced any exercises.

It turned out that when An Ran read the jade slip, he knew that the cultivation of the "Nirvana Sutra" could not only absorb the aura of the five elements between heaven and earth and the power of the soul that was free from the outside, but also achieve the purpose of cultivation by repeatedly tempering the three souls and seven spirits. It is also able to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and the power of the stars.

Before, due to his young age, he couldn't walk freely, and he was always following his subordinates, so his cultivation was only to absorb the power of aura and soul. Since he had his own small courtyard a year ago, he sent the maids around him outside the study on the grounds that he wanted to be quiet when he read, and they were not allowed to enter without his permission. At this point, he began to absorb the power of the sun and moon essence and the stars, and the power of the sun and moon essence and the power of the stars are relatively powerful and mysterious, and they are excellent in terms of cultivation.

In the cultivation realm, not everyone can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and the power of the stars with any exercises, so naturally these are not known to An Ran.

In the process of practicing Enron, because there is no physical aspect of the cultivation exercises, the part of the aura that enters the body during the practice is mostly dissipated because it cannot be stored. Fortunately, Reiki and Sun and Moon Essence can nourish the body, even if it is only a small part, Enron's body has also received great benefits, and the body has always been healthy since childhood, and has never been sick. This is also the reason why Enron often practiced in front of the half-open windows in the early hours of the morning and at night without contracting the wind cold.

It wasn't until the sun fully rose that An Ran also stopped the operation of the exercises, stood up and moved his joints.

"Mo Lan, bring a basin of hot water, I want to clean my hands. An Ran said towards the door while moving his body, obviously feeling that his soul power was very strong and pure, and he didn't know when he would be able to break through to the middle stage of refining, alas, what went wrong, and how the cultivation speed was getting slower and slower. An Ran was secretly anxious in his heart, especially remembering that Shen Huirong had already been in the Jindan stage three months ago, and this kind of cultivation was lower than others and completely out of his control, which made An Ran extremely uneasy.

Mo Lan in the outhouse heard her brother's voice and put down the embroidery work in her hand, "The slave knows that my brother will clean his hands after writing the big characters, and he has already prepared hot water for his brother to boil on the small stove. With that, he beckoned another girl beside him to go with him.

After a while, two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls wearing the same goose yellow dresses who stayed in the outhouse opened the door curtain and walked in, these were An Ran's two big maids, Mo Lan and Chunlan, who were holding towels and silver basins, serving An Ran to clean their hands.

"Brother Yue, but I want to ask the uncle and Mrs. to go. This spring morning is the most likely to catch a cold, so the slave and maid will go to add a piece of clothing for the brother. Chunlan on the side asked carefully, for fear that Brother Yue would catch a cold.

"No need, it's not too early, let's go and ask my father and mother to say goodbye first. If I miss the hour and make my father and mother wait for a long time, I am not the right son. An Ran said without thinking about it, since his first birthday banquet, he has asked the elders in the family every morning and evening, and he will save in the morning and dusk. I used to go with Aunt Liu, but after moving out of Aunt Liu's courtyard, I went alone.

After cleaning up, he only took Mo Lan and a maid to the eldest lady's Mei Courtyard, and the uncle should also be in the Mei Courtyard at this time.

In order to show respect for the eldest lady, An Ran had to reuse her and let her follow her and manage the monthly expenses and other financial matters in her room with the nurse Gu. Chunlan is the maid in Aunt Liu's yard, and has been serving him since An Ran was born, but she was only a second-class maid before, and An Ran liked her quiet but loyal character, so she wanted to be a big maid by her side. There are also two big girls, Jin Rui and Jin Gui, who manage the clothes in the Enron room and order meals at ordinary times.
