"Don't be angry, Teacher Zhang, my daughter is not bad by nature, but she is a little arrogant, I think you are not ten years older than her, but I am praised all day long, and I feel awkward. Zhang Rusheng heard that there was something wrong with Zhang Tianyuan's words, so he quickly explained.

"Dad, what do you explain to him, I heard that his calligraphy is quite good, if he can win me today, I will call him a brother and apologize. Zhang Rusheng's daughter said stubbornly.

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Tianyuan became interested, and I have to say that this character is a bit like him, he is very stubborn, and he is not very convinced by any so-called famous artist, unless he really sees the other party's power with his own eyes, this will be convinced.

"Oh, is it better than calligraphy? You are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and you have studied calligraphy for a few years?" Zhang Tianyuan asked with a smile.

"Don't look down on people, I learned calligraphy when I was young, and the calligraphy I wrote in elementary school was better than the teacher's writing. The girl was very proud: "Even my dad was compared to me at that time." ”

"Oh, I heard that when the Chinese New Year was approaching last year, the imperial capital held a calligraphy competition, and it seems that a student from the Imperial Capital Normal University won the first place, can't it be you?" Zhang Tianyuan also pays attention to the news on weekdays, although this news is not very eye-catching, but he still glanced at it, and remembered this person's name at that time, called Zhang Qian.

"That's right, it's me, Zhang Qian!" the girl straightened her already plump breasts, looking very proud.

"Well, that's it, Mr. Yu. Do you have pen, ink, paper, and inkstone here? I compare myself with this girl, who happens to be older than the shopkeeper and Teacher Da Zhang, who are both experts in calligraphy. Just help us take a look and evaluate it. Zhang Tianyuan felt that this was a big New Year. It just happens to make the old shopkeeper happy, and it doesn't hurt to write a few words here.

"Yes, of course, there are some of the guests who send these things to my father, if you want to use them, you can use them first, my father won't mind. Teacher Yu said.

"Hahaha, what do you mind, you can see Boss Zhang's Mobao. The old man is very happy. The old shopkeeper also said happily.

So, with the help of Teacher Yu and Zhang Rusheng, they prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Zhang Tianyuan and Zhang Qian each took a stroke and walked to the front of the desk.

"Ladies first, you come first. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"First come, first come, who is afraid of whom. Zhang Qian looked very confident, stood in front of the table and thought for a while, and then wrote a sentence: "Ambition is not old!"

These words seem to be ironic to Zhang Tianyuan. You're older than me, but you don't necessarily write better than I do.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled slightly, he didn't care, and when he walked to the table, he also wrote a sentence, "Jinxi Fang Zhongyong." Nothing to do!"

These words were extracted by Zhang Tianyuan from Wang Anshi's injury Zhongyong, and the meaning is also obvious, that is, to sue Zhang Qian. When you were young, you were great, but don't be complacent. Otherwise, it will only be a disappearance.

After writing. Zhang Tianyuan also smiled and said to Zhang Qian: "The prince said: Zhong Yongzhi's enlightenment, and the heavens are also accepted." The day of its acceptance is also far from the material. If they die for the multitude, they will not receive from others. Do you know what I mean?"

"Hmph, what don't you understand, Wang Anshi said that Fang Zhongyong's accessibility and intelligence were innate. His talent is much better than that of ordinary talented people, but in the end he became an ordinary person because his acquired education has not yet met the requirements! But I am different, I am very well educated, and I will never become a person like Fang Zhongyong. ”

"Yes, I hope so, Lao Yu shopkeeper, Da Zhang, come to give a review, which of these two words is better?" Zhang Tianyuan smiled, and did not continue to argue with Zhang Qian, but looked at Zhang Rusheng and Lao Yu and said.

"Qianqian's calligraphy is learned from Master Yuanbo, quite the style of Yuanbo, but it is obviously not old and spicy enough, although the shape has arrived, but the god is insufficient, it can only be said that there is Master Yuanbo's three-point fire, and it will continue to be strengthened in the future. Zhang Rusheng commented.

"Yes, yes, most people learn calligraphy by writing 'nine square grids' or 'rice character grids', and put the center of gravity of the characters in the center of the square. However, Master Yuanbo found that the center of gravity of the character is not in the center of the traditional rice grid, but at the four corners not far from the center, and also calculated that the proportional relationship between them is in line with the so-called 'golden ratio', which has important guiding significance for learning calligraphy.

"Look at Mr. Zhang's words again, I was taken aback, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I really thought this was the book written by Master Yuanbo, Master Yuanbo's words are slender, skinny, delicate, and his theory is the same, written in plain and easy to understand, elegant and vulgar appreciation follows the chic and ink intensity of the painting in the painting, and innovates in the historical classics, and Mr. Xiao Zhang will show these characteristics one by one, and even better, it can faintly see the demeanor of Master Yuanbo through the words, which makes me a little incomprehensible. Zhang Rusheng touched the beard that was deliberately left on his chin and said in surprise.

"That's right, I think so too, Master Yuanbo's words are straightforward and charming. His calligraphy concept was deeply influenced by the style of Zhao and Dong calligraphy that was popular in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties due to royal respect. Beautiful, even. Pay attention to the golden ratio of the structure, use the pen cleanly, and do not change. Graceful and luxurious, aristocratic. Master Yuanbo's original surname was Aixin Jueluo, and he was a descendant of the royal family. Interesting and elegant, full of bookish atmosphere, belongs to the scholar's word. And this qiē is completely displayed in Boss Zhang's majesty, which is really quite rare. The old shopkeeper couldn't help but admire.

At this time, Zhang Qian's face showed shock and incomprehension, she learned calligraphy from Master Yuanbo, she started since she was a child, and she has been learning for more than ten years, but she is not as good as a local tyrant?

"How is this possible, have you also learned calligraphy from Master Yuanbo?" asked Zhang Qian.

Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said: "If I had that good luck, it would be worth it, but it's a pity, I haven't met Master Yuanbo, and after I came to the imperial capital, I planned to meet him, but unfortunately I heard that the master is not in good health now, so I won't have the chance to meet." My handwriting is just copying his handwriting. ”

Actually, as a rigorous person. Zhang Tianyuan is very appreciative of Yuanbo's calligraphy, what kind of calligraphy does this person like. It's still related to personality, Master Yuanbo's words are very popular among many wealthy families, because it symbolizes aristocracy.

"Woo-woo-" Zhang Qian actually sat on the ground and cried, her sadness Zhang Tianyuan still somewhat understood, after all, she had worked hard to practice calligraphy for ten years, and she had the guidance of a master, but she lost to Zhang Tianyuan, a guy who copied calligraphy, and her grievances were inevitable. is not only a shame for her, but also a shame for Master Yuanbo.

"This ......" Zhang Tianyuan couldn't see a woman crying, as soon as the woman cried, he was directly dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to do at all.

"Qianqian, since you know that you lost, you should keep in mind what your brother Zhang said, 'Jinxi Fang Zhongyong, don't be proud of everyone' in the future. If you practice calligraphy in a down-to-earth manner, you may be able to become a generation of calligraphers in the future. Zhang Rusheng didn't help Zhang Qian, but just whispered on the side.

Zhang Qian's crying gradually stopped, and then she stood there and watched for a long time. Suddenly said to Zhang Tianyuan: "Brother Zhang, you have to give gifts when you meet during the New Year, you are older than me." I should have given me a gift, I don't want a red envelope. Just give me this letter. ”

"It's just child's play, do you really want it? I can write you a good picture. Zhang Tianyuan said.

"No, I want this. Zhang Qian walked over, rolled up the ink treasure of Zhang Tianyuan, which had been dried, and then received it in his bag.

"Well, it just so happens that I didn't bring any gifts today, since she likes this thing, I'll give it to her, and I won't suffer anyway. Zhang Tianyuan thought about it in his heart, and didn't say anything more, it was an accident to meet Zhang Rusheng's father and daughter here today, gifts or something, he really didn't prepare it, but now it's okay.

"Qianqian, hurry up and wash your face, it's all a big cat. Zhang Rusheng was also relieved when he saw his daughter burst into tears and laughed, he was the same as Zhang Tianyuan, he was also a man who couldn't do anything with women, and what he was most afraid of was that women would cry.

"Ah, Dad, why didn't you say it earlier. Zhang Qian obviously wore makeup, although the makeup was not very thick, but after crying, her face must still be unsightly, so she hurriedly ran to the bathroom.

After Zhang Qian left, Zhang Rusheng, Shopkeeper Yu, Zhang Tianyuan and Teacher Yu chatted in the ward, all four of them were cultural people, so they also had a common topic, chatting and chatting, and they talked about Master Yuanbo.

The words written by Zhang Tianyuan and Zhang Qian just now, they are all Yuan style, which is the calligraphy style created by Master Yuanbo, although some people like it, some people don't like it, but they all have to admit that Yuanbo's calligraphy attainments are quite high.

Moreover, Master Yuanbo is now over 100 years old, but he is a long-lived old man in the true sense, and it is normal for the topic to lead to him.

"Alas, when my antique shop opened, I was going to find a celebrity to write a plaque, but unfortunately Master Yuanbo seemed to be sick at that time, after all, people are old, and all kinds of body functions are degrading, and they are helpless. The old shopkeeper sighed and said.

"That's right, speaking of this plaque, my two words of the Shenluo Group have always been computer fonts, I think it's too inconsistent with the purpose of our group, I also want to find a celebrity to help write two words, preferably a celebrity in the cultural world, those who are officials forget it, political zhì this thing, you can't tell when there will be a problem, but calligraphy is eternal, if Master Yuanbo is willing to make a move, this thing will be easy to do. "The words of the old shopkeeper happened to give Zhang Tianyuan a wake-up call, and Zhang Tianyuan also had such a plan.

"Boss Zhang, since you have this plan, you should tell Teacher Zhang, you are afraid that you don't know yet, Teacher Zhang and Master Yuanbo are masters and apprentices, his ability to identify calligraphy and painting, as well as the calligraphy, are all taught by Master Yuanbo, and the teacher of the girl just now is also Master Yuanbo. The old shopkeeper hurriedly said.

"Is it really fake?" "How could Zhang Tianyuan not know about this, this Teacher Zhang Confucianism is too tight-mouthed, and this kind of thing can be concealed, as a disciple of Master Yuanbo, how proud he is.

"Of course it's true. Zhang Qian didn't know when she had come back, so she replied casually: "My dad always said that he didn't meet Grandpa Yuanbo's expectations, so he didn't want to mention to outsiders that he was Grandpa Yuanbo's apprentice, and felt embarrassed to Grandpa Yuanbo." ”

"Teacher Da Zhang is too modest, if you are not successful like this, then who in our circle can be regarded as successful?" Zhang Tianyuan said with a wry smile. (To be continued......)
