Next.

It's morning, and it's a nice day.

Zhang Ye got up late, and as soon as he opened his eyes and looked at his watch, he sat up from the bed in a hurry, rubbed his eyes and quickly got out of bed to get dressed, and went to the bathroom in the outhouse to wash his face and said, "Mom, do we have a pen, ink, paper and inkstone?" ”

Dad went to work and left.

Mom is on afternoon class today, and she's still at home, "What do you say?" You bought it when you were in elementary school, and now it's long gone, I don't know which box to throw it in, and you can't use it if you find it, why do you want this? Isn't your school on vacation? In a hurry, do you still have to go to work? ”

Zhang Ye said: "It's not going to work, it's my leader's birthday banquet." ”

Mom said, "Then you don't get up early?" Hurry up! ”

"I see, you can help me pack my bag and put my phone inside." Zhang Ye couldn't take care of it, so he hurriedly brushed his teeth, and then took the bag handed over by his mother and hurriedly drove downstairs.

What to do with birthday gifts?

I don't have any pen and ink, and I don't have time to buy it!

Zhang Ye is also a single, forget it, anyway, Wu Mo said that it was okay not to bring anything, he just went directly, and it was a big deal to make up for it when the time came.

……

The sun is hot.

Let the winter add a touch of warmth.

The car drove faster, almost noon, Zhang Ye arrived at a small attic in Beicheng, look at the sign at the door, this is an antique restaurant, two floors, but there is a big courtyard behind, the scale of the hotel is still not small, and it is very antique, there are red lanterns hanging at the door, it seems that it should be chartered, a lot of cars are parked outside the door, and people get out of the car one after another into the restaurant, there are many people holding a few calligraphy and paintings and other things in their hands, so that Zhang Ye is a little confused, in his opinion, Wu Zeqing is such an elegant woman, It's just a birthday, and he won't make such a big formation, and Comrade Wu is not this kind of extravagant character.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Ye straightened his clothes.

"Huh? Isn't this Mr. Zhang? "There was a woman in the back calling him.

Zhang Ye turned around in surprise, "Yo, Teacher Su is here too?" ”

The person who came was a colleague from the Chinese Department of Peking University, Suna, she was wearing a tweed coat, and she was wearing quite thick, "Why are you here?" Oh, Principal Wu invited you, right? ”

Zhang Ye snorted vaguely, in fact, he also knew that this kind of gathering was said to be his turn, and the reason why Wu Zeqing asked Wu Mo to invite him was probably because he was endorsing her nephew's company and was helping out, so Principal Wu gave face.

But how did Suna get here?

Professor Zeng and Professor Yan were not invited, right?

Zhang Ye wondered, "Are you here?" ”

Suna laughed and said: "I don't have that much face to be invited by Principal Wu, I came with my dad, my dad has already arrived, he is from the Calligraphy Association." ”

Zhang Ye suddenly said, "So many people are here today? ”

"yes, it's about the same every year, but last year was even more lively than this year." Suna said casually.

Zhang Ye was even more puzzled, "Are you all here to celebrate Principal Wu's birthday?" ”

"Birthday? You don't know yet? Su Na smiled: "How can Principal Wu be so extravagant, today is the thirty-first anniversary of the establishment of the Calligraphy Association, so everyone will get together once a year today to exchange literature and calligraphy, this is the main purpose, as for the birthday, an old-timer in the calligraphy industry and Principal Wu also happen to be today's birthday, so just take it by the way, but this should not be the point, it is mainly an exchange and dinner in the calligraphy world, of course, if you want to give gifts, there is no problem." ”

Zhang Ye coughed and said, "Then what, you brought a gift?" ”

"I didn't bring it." Suna chuckled: "But my dad wrote two words, and he just sent them." ”

"You've all been prepared, I'm up late and didn't bring anything." Zhang Ye said depressedly, how embarrassing it is for everyone to send things and come empty-handed.

Suna blinked her eyes and said: "If you don't bring it, you don't bring it, many people shouldn't send it, but it's really not okay, and there will be an improvised calligraphy link when the time comes, don't you just write a poem?" How is your handwriting? ”

Zhang Ye subconsciously said: "My word can't be on the table at all." ”

But it suddenly occurred to me, eh, I just won the calligraphy skills book last night, and I ate a hundred copies in one go, although I haven't tried it, but according to past experience, my words must be no worse, a hundred books, he doesn't know what it will look like, maybe he is better than Wu Zeqing's calligraphy now?

Right!

You can write on the spot!

Principal Wu's gift is definitely a must!

……

Restaurant.

Backyard.

This side has been turned into a booth, paved with various celebrity calligraphy and paintings for exhibition, some calligraphy and paintings by members of the calligraphy association, and there are also works by contemporary calligraphy masters.

"This is Sun Gu calligraphy?"

"It's a fake, right? Isn't it lost a long time ago? ”

"This is genuine, I heard that it was collected by Master Zhou, and Master Zhou also spent a lot of money to buy it, it is our honor to see it today!"

"No, I'll have to copy one when I go back!"

"Hey, this is Mr. Cheng's word? This cursive has made a breakthrough compared to last year! ”

"Haha, Principal Wu also took out calligraphy today, Xiao Wu's words have always been so gentle, no matter how you look at it, there is a kind of beauty, which is rare in the calligraphy world."

No one went upstairs, because it hadn't been eaten yet, everyone was chatting in the backyard, commenting on the works on display today, although it was not officially exhibited, but the calligraphy and calligraphy and paintings on display inside, some of them were even higher than those on display. The celebration of the 31st anniversary of the founding of the Calligraphy Association can be regarded as a kind of academic achievement exhibition in a different direction.

Wu Zeqing had already arrived and was talking to a few friends.

Today's other birthday star, Master Wei, is very old, probably more than eighty years old, and is sitting on the Taishi chair in the courtyard, and many juniors have gone over to say hello.

"Master Wei, your body is still so good?"

"No, it's old, hehe."

"I didn't see it, the words you exhibited are still very tough!"

A yard of people, scattered seventy or eighty. The people who can come today are all famous figures or family members in the world of calligraphy and painting or literature, all of whom are not light, and the worst ones are also members of the Calligraphy Association, and they are also teachers who have made achievements in the field of calligraphy. Of course, in fact, there are not many people coming, after all, it is not a celebration of the whole anniversary, and there are no people in other fields to congratulate it, so it is an ordinary party on the anniversary.

At this time, Suna came in, "Dad! ”

Father Su is about fifty years old, his hair is not too white, but his beard is all white, "Why did you arrive so late?" Didn't you go out a long time ago? ”

Suna smiled, "I just met a colleague at the door, and I chatted a little more." ”

Then, Zhang Ye came to the backyard later, but he was wearing sunglasses, and he didn't have too many intersections and head-on conflicts in the calligraphy world, he didn't deal with him, and everyone didn't recognize him, in fact, some people didn't know him at all, at most they just admired Zhang Ye's name for a long time!
