Chapter 18 The Book of the Stack Yard Competition
"Childe...... Wait. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info "The drunken Huan Ji stopped the first dream.
Chu Meng stopped the jade finger that was about to put down the pen, looked back and tilted his head slightly to reveal his doubts, and waited quietly for Huan to tell the reason, but the pen in his hand condensed a drop of ink on the millipeak, and the drip fell on the paper and scattered, moisturizing things silently.
"Such a good day...... How can you not ...... the beautiful scenery Invite everyone to come and taste it together?" Huan Du said with the strength of the wine, showing the trend of making the limelight bigger, and called the guy, "Put ...... The guests who ate in the hall outside were ...... Call me! Say I'm Liyang Huan...... To ...... with Chu Meng in the north Let's play the word together!"
"Gongzi Huan......" The first dream was quite difficult, "There is no need to be so powerful, Chu is just a commemorative gift to the son, how can he say the word ......"
"I've always been good at calligraphy, and when I love it...... Drinking and playing each word is even more ...... A good story. Although it is called a 'competition', it is actually just a competition, each offering their talents, nothing ...... Competing for the best of the best...... Chu Gongzi ...... Don't worry. Huan all said that the calligraphy level of the first dream was set below him, although he said that he didn't care about the level of the competition, but he was thinking in his heart that he would show it in front of everyone and win some applause.
"Chu has never been good at fighting. Chu Meng said lightly, "Chu only wrote what he should give." I ask for your forgiveness. ”
"Hey, little boy, aren't you more timid than this boy?" and the man had already called the diners in the hall, who were full of wine and food and had nowhere to kill their boredom, and one by one they gathered around with anticipation and waited to see the show.
"I look at it too. Someone in the crowd of onlookers slammed their mouths, "This little boy is young, and this calligraphy needs dozens of miles of experience to be called a foundation." Look at this little boy, it's really an egg hitting a stone to say something ugly!"
Huan was quite proud when he heard this, but he said, "Eh, don't say something mean like that...... broke Chu Gongzi's heart, and he hasn't tried it yet...... How do you know if you win or lose?"
An old man walked out of the crowd, leaned over and looked at the words written on the stone table, and said: "This son's words are indeed extraordinary, the old man went south and north to run a calligraphy and painting business, this son's words are quite the style of everyone in the Han Dynasty, if the son does not dislike it, he is willing to pay ten dollars to buy this word." ”
The crowd was in an uproar of amazement, this word could be sold for ten yuan! The crowd squeezed around the stone table, vying to feast on the eyes of this "book of ten times."
"No...... Cannot. Huan Jun waved his hand again and again, but said with joy on his eyebrows, "This word Huan wants to give to Prince Chu, friendship is priceless, and the daughter is not sold." ”
"What a affectionate and righteous Huan Gongzi!" The store also came, happily to the crowd, "Today my small inn actually got Huan Gongzi to come, it is really Pengsheng, I Qu is also quite good at calligraphy, today you might as well take advantage of the light of Huan Gongzi, with me to take the lead in organizing this book competition, the line is not informal, with a pen to meet friends, by the present to judge the leader, the winner, not only the hotel room fee is free, I Qu also awarded him ten dollars!"
When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to each other: "Master Huan's calligraphy is so good, and ten yuan is already in his pocket." ”
This was also heard by the shopkeeper, and added: "Qu also knows that Gongzi Huan has excellent skills, but because of this, Qu is willing to give out this ten yuan to encourage rising people, you also know that this ten yuan is not a small amount, but is there anyone who dares to come to a competition?"
Chu Meng was still silent, and Huan Jie didn't take him seriously in the morning, just looking at the crowd of onlookers who came to challenge him.
"I'll give it a try!"
A man came out of the crowd, describing himself as dressed in a very ink-like manner, but judging from his clothes, he was probably also a poor scholar.
"Dare to ask Childe's surname!"
"Zhang Gong in Shimoyama County. ”
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, please write a book to prove it. The shopkeeper put his pen in both hands.
This Zhang Gong is also a powerful person, and he did not rush to take the pen, but opened his arms to shake the aura as if he spread his wings, and grabbed the pen from the shopkeeper as if he was a martial arts fist, and shook the shopkeeper by surprise, and the ink gradually fell on the face of the guy next to him. Zhang Gong ignored it, grabbed the pen to write, and the ink that was thrown out seemed to be exactly what he wanted, and the words in the pen were sloppy and withered, not moist but also quite tenacious.
"Zhang Gongzi's character is similar to that of Huan Gongzi. The calligraphy and painting merchant commented, "But compared with the words of Huan Gongzi, he has slightly lost the upper hand in the momentum of the pen, showing the appearance of a tiger and a snake." Everyone poked their heads out to look, and nodded in agreement.
Zhang Gong also lowered his head, and Chao Huan said: "Since the time this word was written, I knew that I had lost, but Zhang was convinced." Huan Gongzi is talented, Zhang admires!"
Huan Du smiled when he heard this, although this result had already been predicted in his heart, he was still quite confident in calligraphy.
"In my opinion, no one in this small inn can beat Master Huan. The crowd said.
Seeing that no one was fighting, Huan Jun did not give up, and said: "Just now Chu Gongzi said that he wanted to give Huan a certain word, Chu Gongzi, Huan has been waiting for a long time." With that, he dipped his pen in ink and handed it over.
"This little boy, forget it!" There was a deflated cry from the crowd, and everyone had the potential to disperse, and the circle of people who surrounded the airtight human wall when they were looking at the characters was also alienated to the point that it could not be formed.
Someone stepped forward and said to Huan Ji: "Master Huan, your skills are so superb, why do you need such a worthless ink treasure, it's a waste of effort." ”
Someone else chimed in: "That's right. Look at the delicate appearance of this little boy, where does he look like a person who can calligraphy, I'm afraid he can write a few words at most. A few people burst out laughing.
"Young Master Chu. The shopkeeper stepped forward and said, "I know that this book competition, it is really difficult for you to compete with the son of Huan, but you also promised him to write it before, and the man needs to be trustworthy, so you can write some casually, everyone knows that your skills are not as good as others, and they will not be too harsh and laugh at you." ”
"The shopkeeper is right. The first dream that had been quietly watched for a long time on the side said, "'Men need to be trustworthy', then Chu will write a small book on the affairs of the courtyard tonight, and give it to Gongzi Huan to chat as a commemoration." ”
When the crowd heard this, they suddenly stopped the commotion, staring intently at this little boy who didn't know the height of the sky.
Chu Meng took the pen, not as angry as Huan Jun, only turned his wrist, his hand was like a soft wattle, and he moved the pen calmly and attentively to write, Huan Ji saw this momentum and went down, and he didn't bother to see what Chu Gongzi wrote, and waited for Chu Gongzi to say "Okay" before he looked at his words.
But this glance made Huan all sober up for seven or eight minutes.
What kind of words are written here, it's a reptile!
"What is this written!" someone in the crowd shouted indignantly, "Where is this like a word, it's just a ghost drawing, little boy, isn't it that you can't read and have to make up the numbers?"
The people in the back row who were watching the excitement were even more enthusiastic when they heard it, and they all stood on tiptoe to see the word, and then the crowd burst into laughter.
The store took a look at this word, it really can't be called a word, to say that the Jin people also have a crazy grass, it is also unclear and unrecognizable, but in the end it is still possible to recognize one or two, and although the wild grass is not clear, but the rhyme is in, and it is enough, the word ligature of the first dream is also strange, like a reptile that has broken its joints, it turns strangely, not to mention what rhyme is hidden in it.
"Little boy, if you want to say that this is the text of your hometown, I will admit it. The shopkeeper said, "But the Jin people have to be Chinese characters, and they have to be understood by everyone." ”
Chu Meng was not in a hurry or annoyed, but slowly shook his head and said: "The store misunderstood, it is a Chinese character, not the word of Chu's hometown." ”
"He actually said that it was Chinese characters! He couldn't have learned this Chinese character from the beasts!" the crowd burst into laughter.
The shopkeeper smiled: "I won't judge winning or losing this game, the little boy will put away your Mobao." He shouted again, "But are there any people who have come to challenge this ten dollars?"
"In this game, it was Gongzi Chu who won. ”
When everyone heard that someone commented that Chu Gongzi won, they were all surprised, the store didn't evaluate the victory or defeat to give Chu Gongzi face, and which blind person actually said that Chu Gongzi won. Everyone followed the prestige, but the person who was shocked to speak out was the calligraphy and painting merchant who had read countless books. When everyone was laughing at it, only the calligraphy and painting merchant was still carefully observing the word.
"Old businessman, aren't you old and dizzy, you can't see the candle clearly, this can't even be counted, dare to say that you won Huan Gongzi?"
Huan is also slightly gloomy, waiting for the old businessman to justify himself.
"I'm not blind, and I don't need to say it. The calligraphy and painting merchant said, "Wait for this painting to say it yourself." ”
"It's amazing! Calligraphy and painting can still speak on their own?"
The calligraphy and painting merchant ignored everyone's questions, only lifted the paper from the table, and when he first dreamed of this action, he smiled indifferently and helped her carry the other corner of the paper together.
The moonlight is bright, shining on the words, Rong Rong Qinghui seems to be coated with silver pastel through the paper, everyone stretched their necks with the word slowly raised, and finally fixed in unison with the word at the same height.
This is a calligraphy that looks backwards.
The book of the first dream records the scene of the moonlight feast in the courtyard of this town tonight. Since the birth of calligraphy, there have been attempts to sell this anti-calligraphy. The word of the anti-book is reversed, only after the work is turned over to see the clues, but the anti-book can be left in the world but there is very little, although it is fun, but it is coming to take a look, often for the opposite, but lost the original aesthetic of the word elegant, so the difficulty is extremely high, there are very few people who can control it, and gradually it will be lost, but look at the word first dream, is looking at it, widely adopted line, Kai, Li, The grass is long, quite the charm of the horse Wang Xizhi, the handwriting is beautiful and elegant, the clouds and rivers flow, the upper can add the wild waves to the grass, the lower can be precipitated to recover to the Kai, floating like a cloud, pretentious like a dragon, with the book of "Luo Shen Fu" "as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow is fluttering like the wind." But the description can't exhaust the rhyme. Such a character is more than a fraction higher than Huan in the main book, not to mention that it is written blindly.
Only then did everyone realize the mystery, and they couldn't help but stand on end, and they couldn't speak in amazement, but looking at the initiator of this word, the signature "Chu Meng", it was still an indifferent appearance.
The bright moon is like washing, reflecting the side face of the first dream, she is as quiet as clear water under the moonlight, safe and simple, fluttering with a fluttering shirt dancing in the wind, faint smile Tao Ran Ruojin, although she is a petite person, she is pregnant with a terrifying aura inside. Huan was stunned, where did this son come from, how could he be so talented.
"It's really a good word!!" said the calligraphy and painting merchant, "The old man has been operating calligraphy and painting for decades, and I am fortunate to see this anti-book that has been handed down from generation to generation, which is the luck of the old man, and the old man has no regrets in this life." ”
"The old man has an overreputation. Chu Meng said indifferently.
The shopkeeper said: "Just now Qu has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he underestimated Chu Gongzi, Qu can't accompany Gongzi!" and shouted to the guy: "Quickly get ten yuan for Gongzi, and clean up the best room in the store for Gongzi to change! I will ask Gongzi to live in the upper room!"
Chu Meng said: "Chu has received this reward, thank you for the generosity of the store, but there is no need to trouble changing rooms, Chu has tiles to cover his head, and the current one is just right." ”
The onlookers couldn't stand it, and said one after another: "Others can't ask for such a good treatment, why don't you want it?"
Chu Meng didn't answer, only smiled faintly, saluted everyone and left through the crowd, leaving everyone with an intriguing and delicate back.
Early the next morning, Huan knocked on the door of the first dream, and when the first dream answered the door, he had already decorated the appearance of a sassy man.
Huan Ji grabbed the work of the first dream last night in his hand, and saluted: "Huan was drunk last night, and today I learned from the mouth of others that there was a fuss, I am really ashamed, I am so offended, I apologize to Gongzi Chu." ”
"Childe's words. Chu Meng said, "Chu Mou got ten yuan for the blessing of his son, and it can be regarded as making up for the loss of the previous theft, and it was Chu who asked for his son." ”
Huan Jun laughed heartily and said: "In this way, then you and I are even! Huan is about to leave for Jianye, don't say goodbye, there will be a period later!"
Chu Meng also replied with a salute: "Have a good trip." ”
"Master Chu, this good calligraphy, I took it with me. ”
Chu Meng smiled, his smile was very encouraging and gentle, and he was not annoyed by Huan Jun's rude behavior last night, and turned around to get the burden, and gave the remaining buns to Huan Jun, and said, "Childe, cherish......!"
