In the ancient history of Chinese painting and calligraphy, there are many such topics. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, under the impetus of Li Shimin, calligraphy was almost the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" dominated the world, and copying the Orchid Pavilion once again became a daily homework that must be completed by calligraphers. However, for more than 1,000 years, no one has been able to fully master the techniques, and at the end of the day, the techniques of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" are the penmanship of the Wang family, and they will never be passed on. No matter how similar you copy, it is only similar to the form, and you can't get the essence of it at all.

Besides, he didn't want to steal other people's stunts, but Zhou Dingcheng had to force him down this road, so he had to make a ruthless move, didn't he want to learn it? In this way, not only does it not suffer a loss, but it takes a big advantage.

As for whether these two people will backfire on his technique, it depends on their understanding.

"No problem, fair enough. Zhou Dingcheng said.

Shen Zhou was silent, of course he was willing to learn the technique, if it was to pay tuition, he would be willing to do as much as he wanted, but in exchange for the technique, he would have to think about it, not only was he reluctant, but also the strict restrictions of the family rules.

"Brother Shen, if it's inconvenient, forget it, don't be a good man. Besides, he laughed.

"This, I really have to go home and discuss, I can't be the master myself. Shen Zhou was a little embarrassed.

Wen Bin looked secretly frightened, and he didn't seem to have any scheming, once he used it, he was very old, no worse than a profiteer.

"Haha, it looks like I'll have to go back and get some things out of Zhengming's place, and then come to exchange with Brother Guo. Wen Zhengchen squeezed his eyes and deliberately squeezed Shen Zhoudao.

"Alright, boys, come and have a drink with the old man, the old man is going to get drunk today. Zhou Dingcheng finally got his wish, and he was indescribably happy.

Only then did everyone realize his true face, those who were all pretended just now, everyone was used as a gun, sympathizing with the wrong object, and he was the real victim.

Pomegranate took a sip gently: "Where there is an elder look, the things of the younger generation are also scheming." ”

Xiao Nier said with a smile: "Sister Pomegranate, you don't know, just for what technique, Brother Zhou and I don't know how many times I have made trouble, and I have used all the means, so I almost used the knife to force it." ”

Everyone laughed, but Zhou Dingcheng is fond of painting, and no one thinks it is strange to do this kind of thing. He even dared to openly swallow the emperor's pen and inkstone, and it was in front of the emperor.

Besides, the more I drank, the more I felt that I had lost too much today, and I had to get some interest back if I said anything, so I smiled and said: "Big brother, you said that Uncle Zhou sent someone to send so many things today, and I should have paid the silver, so I think you will pay for me." ”

Zhou Dingcheng didn't care at all, he knew at a glance that it was something from the old treasury, and it was not worth anything at all, so he smiled: "Okay, leave this to me." But I didn't have to exchange the ten paintings and ten characters that I said before, so I don't have to exchange them for your calligraphy and paintings. ”

"This still has to be exchanged. He smiled.

"Why, I have paid so much for you, of course I want your calligraphy and painting to pay me back, why should I give you calligraphy and painting in exchange?"

Everyone watched the two of them haggle like market vendors, and they found it funny. This scene is usually not seen by the eyes.

"Even if what you say makes sense, I'll let you take a step, but your calligraphy and paintings are still indispensable, because I still have something, and you have to take out those calligraphy and paintings in exchange. And smiled mysteriously.

"What else do you have good stuff, good brother, tell me first. Zhou Dingcheng's heart was itching, and the bastard and little bastard he called just now became a good brother.

"Well, I'll talk about that later. "Besides, I want to take revenge on him, purely to make him worry about it every day, not sleeping well, not eating well.

Wen Bin and the others snickered, and besides, it was really bad enough, isn't this sincere to arouse people's appetites, Zhou Dingcheng is anxious, and he doesn't know it.

Zhou Dingcheng never doubted that he still had dry goods in his hands, otherwise where did this magical painting method come from? Since he said that there were still good things, there must be them. However, he also understood what he meant, that is, not to let him feel better, hoping to see him scratch his heart, and fighting against strong desires, it is not an easy thing, but it must also be learned.

This round, besides, I am very satisfied. If he negotiated the price of this batch of goods with Wen Binsi, it was estimated that it would be another famine, but he really didn't want to owe favors, and he was really embarrassed to refuse when he saw Sisi trying his best to help arrange it. Now that Zhou Dingcheng has taken this matter over, it can be regarded as a perfect explanation.

Wen Bin and Sisi naturally had no opinion, they knew that what Master Zhou sent was a favor, and they didn't think about asking for a penny at all.

After two more rounds of drinking, it was already late at night, and the hired cooks had already finished eating and got paid, and only these foreign hired maids were still sleepy, and they were quickly let go home, each of them not only gave them wages, but also gave them a reward of two taels of silver, and the maids went back happily one by one. Generally, the night fee of the high-grade Qinglou is two taels of silver, and famous prostitutes such as the Ethereal Fairy are naturally not in this category.

Sisi and the others here couldn't stand it anymore, so they left the table to rest. Zhou Dingcheng came out late, and he was not happy, so he planned to move to the house to continue drinking, and it seemed that he was going to have an all-nighter.

Besides, He Wenbin asked the family to come over to move the banquet, but except for a few who were in charge of guarding the door and patrolling the night, the rest of the family members were also drunk and pillowed each other in the side room.

The two looked at each other and smiled, so they had to go back to be self-reliant, and the rest of the few who still wanted to continue drinking moved the wine and food to the outer house. The ladies had already rested, and the door of the inner house was not only locked, but two middle-aged healthy women were also arranged to patrol the night.

"Come on, boys, don't go to bed without drinking. Zhou Dingcheng was preemptive, and he was full of pride at this time.

After drinking for a while, Wen Bin pulled him to the latrine.

This is called "changing clothes" in the old saying. Why do you use changing clothes instead of going to the toilet, I really can't understand it, did the ancients have to change their clothes after going to the toilet?

Qin and Han don't know how, at least not in the Wei and Jin dynasties, Shi Chong was the most extravagant bureaucrat in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the toilet rule in his house was that a group of maids served a plate of dates, which was specially used by the guests to plug their nostrils and save them from smelling the smell. The general Wang Dun was just a son-in-law at this time, and once went to the toilet at Shi Chong's house, he didn't know what the dates were for, so he simply caught them and ate them, but he was laughed at by the maids of Shi Chong's family and made a big red face.

But this also proves that going to the toilet and changing clothes in the Wei and Jin dynasties are completely different things, so it is very likely that the Qin and Han dynasties used changing clothes as a synonym for going to the toilet, just replacing words that can cause people to feel bad about them. Today's so-called going to the bathroom is actually a kind of avoidance.

On the way back, Wen Bin pulled him to a spare room and said to him: "The trainer also asked me to ask you again, is the poppy thing you said during the day really that serious?"

Besides, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lian Daning to really care about this matter, and solemnly asked Wenbin to implement it again.

He said with a smile: "This thing is not a serious problem, if it really breaks out, the people of the country will abuse it, and the country may be destroyed." But at present, there are very few people who know the purpose of this thing. ”

"Then it seems that you need to face it squarely, the trainer said, I also want to assist you with all my strength in this matter, if there is any need, if it is inconvenient to talk to him, it is the same to me. In addition, there is another thing, saying that you are going to run a volunteer school, and the trainer also promised to support you, and also asked my opinion on what to do next. ”

"What does Brother Wenbin think about the matter of doing righteous learning?" he asked.

"Since it's what you want to do, of course I support it, we are brothers, your business is my business, and I decided to do it from the first day I saw you. Although Wen Bin drank a lot of wine, his mind was completely clear.

"Thank you, I'm relieved to have your words. "Besides, sincerely.

"I guess this is what the old master meant, and the trainer also guessed so. Wen Bin asked tentatively.

"That's really what I mean, but the old master completely agrees, just saying that there are too many difficulties and it's not easy to do well. "Besides, we must insist on this, and we can't sell the teacher. Anyway, he has something to prove that he runs a school in Fengyangshan Town.

"Difficult? It's not an ordinary difficult thing, to be honest, it's not difficult for you to do a bad thing, but it's the hardest thing to do a good thing like this. But I will go back and tell my father that he should support you, and he is most optimistic about you. ”

Besides, I can only sigh in my heart, what kind of society is this, it is not difficult to do bad things, but it is like ascending to the sky to do good things, no wonder there are always people in the feudal dynasty who pull the pole and pull the flag to rebel.

"Now there is a good opportunity, the Nan family will soon sell a large number of ancestral properties, there will be cheap real estate, and when the time comes, it can be put down at a more fair price, which will not only help them solve their urgent needs, but also run a school without worrying about the venue. ”

"Is this good, I always feel a little bit of taking advantage of others. He hesitated.

"If we don't buy it, they can only sell it at a lower price, the Nan family is guilty of a big taboo this time, and the emperor can't save them. Wen Bin sighed.

The Nan family is connected to the Yun family, and the Yun family is connected to his family, not to mention that the three families are originally good families, and the relationship of common prosperity and common disgrace is also a lie to say that he is not uncomfortable at all.

But businessmen are like this, profit is more important than righteousness, not to mention that the Nan family first violated the righteousness of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they will be praised for abandoning the Nan family.

"I'll see if there's anything else I can do to help them recover some of their losses. I can't let a big family really fall to the point of selling houses and land because I am alone. I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me, and I can't bear it. He sighed.

"Wait, put away your kindness, you must not get involved in this matter, otherwise you will find yourself being scolded at both ends, and you will not please both sides, and in the end you will not be able to do anything. You can do anything in this world, but you can't break the taboo. If the Nan family still has a glimmer of hope for salvation, our two families will not give up. Wen Bin hurriedly admonished him.
