Chapter 178: Unexpected Good News
"I can't see the real handiwork, then I have to look at the model, I heard that there are many copies of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" in the folk, the copy, Chu Suiliang's "Luoyang Gongben Orchid Pavilion Preface" was given to Gao Shanglian by Li Shimin as a treasure, how good it would be if I was high and cheap, is it that I can also get a "Shenlong Half Print" or something. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I don't want you to be cheap, if you want to be cheap, what should I do. As for the facsimile, I think I'll get it sooner or later. Qing Xuan touched her head and comforted her.
"Then I'll wait for you to get me a copy to read." Bingyu stuck out her tongue.
"One day I'll ask my master if he has it." Qing Xuan thought, if the master Cheng Biting Jin is an official in the court, it shouldn't be difficult to bother him to inquire.
On this day, after Qing Xuan finished practicing, he came to Cheng Yanjin and said, "Master, can I ask you about something?" ”
"What's the matter?" Cheng Yanjin sat on the Taishi's chair and looked at the apprentice.
Qing Xuan poured a cup of tea for Cheng Yanjin, "Master, you drink tea." ”
Cheng Yanjin took the teacup and took a sip. This apprentice has the ability to see, can speak, and his martial arts are growing quickly, and Cheng Yanjin likes it when he sees it. It's a pity that he couldn't be his own son-in-law, which is the fate of God destined them to not have a son-in-law, but with the relationship between master and apprentice, it also makes them a lot closer. As the saying goes, a master and apprentice are like a father and son, a teacher for one day is a father for life, although he Cheng Biting Jin has no son, this good apprentice is equivalent to his own son.
"Yes, why don't you recognize him as a righteous son? Wouldn't that really mean that he had a son? Later, there were also people who inherited his family property. ”
Cheng Yanjin thought about it like this, and suddenly opened his mouth. Well, find an opportunity to discuss with Madame, maybe Madame can agree. Cheng Yanjin thought secretly.
Here Cheng bit the gold spirit and slipped for a long time, but there was no movement. Qing Xuan saw that his master's mind was uncertain, and he didn't dare to say anything further, he pretended to cough in exchange for Cheng Cheng's mind biting gold.
Cheng Yanjin looked at the apprentice again, and there was an inquiring gaze in his eyes.
"Master, do you know where you can get a copy of "Orchid Pavilion Preface"? Pro Ben is also fine. ”
"Do you want a copy of "Orchid Pavilion Preface"?" Cheng Yanjin was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and thought he had heard it wrong, so he repeated it again: "What do you want to do?" Do you want to collect? ”
"No, it's not, it's just that I like Wang Xizhi's calligraphy since I was a child, and I want to see Wang Xizhi's true handwriting in my lifetime, I told him that Wang Xizhi's real handwriting is how many calligraphy and painting everyone dreams of can't ask for, not to mention our generals? It's pretty good to be able to look at the facsimile. It's a pity that the two of us walk the rivers and lakes a lot, and rarely get to know those famous calligraphy and painting masters, let alone see any famous facsimiles, so I still bother to ask the master to help, if I can get a copy of the facsimile to see, I also have a thought. ”
"Well, I'll help you ask when I have time."
Coming down early, Cheng Yanjin pulled the placket of the Hubu Shangshu Kong Rong and said, "In-laws, I want to ask you something." ”
Kong Shangshu thought that he was asking Cui Ying if there was anything happy, so he continued: "Is it about Cui Ying?" ”
"It's really not Cui Ying's business. I just want to ask you, who can have a copy of "Orchid Pavilion Preface", I want to borrow it for two days to see. ”
Kong Rong glanced at Cheng Yanjin meaningfully, and said in his heart, you are a big old man, you don't even know a single big character, and you have to borrow "Lanting Preface" to take a look, eighty percent of it is borrowed from others. Kong Rong said quietly: "There is a copy of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" old man here, or it was given by an old friend over the years, it stands to reason that it doesn't hurt to lend it to you, but I want to be sure of one thing, that is, whether it is for you to see it yourself, or to lend it to outsiders? ”
Kong Rong's words were unhurried, but they sounded quite weighty. If Cheng Biting Jin didn't tell the truth and deceived this Shangshu master, then it would be difficult to ask him to do things in the future. But if you tell the truth, I don't know if this man will lend him something. After thinking about it left and right, Cheng Yanjin calmed down and said, "...... Actually, it's my apprentice who wants to see it. ”
"Didn't you see it yourself?" Kong Rongmian was displeased, "Then you better go and don't ask for a copy." Although my book is not as valuable as the real thing, it is also the best of the fakes, but I am afraid that your apprentice will not be able to get it back if he takes it. ”
"Look at your little pick, isn't it just to borrow it from you, as for it." Cheng Yanjin didn't expect to tell the truth really can't do it, he regrets it in his heart, you must know this, just now I lied.
"But, very much. I said Lao Cheng, you have nothing to do, I'm going home. Kong Rong hurriedly slipped away.
"Hey, hey, don't run, let's discuss this matter again." Cheng Yanjin hurriedly grabbed Kong Rong's sleeve.
"There's nothing to discuss here, so don't bother me. If your apprentice wants to see it, let him go to Shi Zhiyong, I heard that he is the seventh grandson of Wang Xizhi, maybe he has the true works of Wang Xizhi in his hands. Kong Rong was in a hurry to escape, and in a hurry, he threw out the seventh grandson of Wang Xi. In fact, about Shi Zhiyong, he has only heard of it, but he has never seen it.
"Then where to find this Shi Zhiyong?" Cheng Biting Jin followed Kong Rong's buttocks, if you don't say a meridian in that posture, my old Cheng will definitely not give up.
"I heard that he became a monk in his early years, and later traveled to Wuxing County, Zhejiang, you can ask your apprentice to go to the temple over there to inquire."
"Oh, well, thank you, in-laws." Lao Cheng saw that Kong Rong was out of breath, so he stopped chasing him. Since you have received this letter, it can be regarded as an explanation to the apprentice, so it is better to go back and tell the apprentice now.
Qing Xuan was waiting for him to reply on the martial arts training ground, and as soon as Cheng Yanjin came in, Qing Xuan stepped forward and asked, "Master, do you have eyebrows?" ”
"Well, I asked you. There is a seventh grandson of Wang Xizhi, named Shi Zhiyong, who is a monk in Wuxing County, Zhejiang, you can go there to find him, maybe he has the authentic traces left by his ancestors. ”
"Thank you, master, I'll tell my inner man to go."
"Don't worry, this is the salary of the previous months, and I haven't had a chance to give it to you, so take it quickly." Cheng Yanjin took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and handed them to Qing Xuan, although he was a nominal guard, but the treatment was not lower than that of the official guard, Qing Xuan took the silver ticket and looked at Cheng Yanjin with infinite gratitude, and at the end, he bowed deeply to Cheng Yanjin before leaving with the silver ticket.
"Baby, good news for you." As soon as Qingxuan entered the door, he couldn't hide his excitement, as if he had won 5 million blessings.
"Borrowed a copy of "Orchid Pavilion Preface"?" Bing Yu saw that Qing Xuan was so happy, she must have borrowed what she wanted.
"Nope." Qing Xuan spread his hands and looked like he was empty-handed.
"What's the good news about that?" Bing Yu smiled, looking lost.
"Although I didn't get a copy of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", I found the descendants of its owner." Qing Xuan's face turned, and his eyes shone brightly.
“……”
"I didn't expect it, that descendant of Wang Xizhi is a monk in Zhejiang, as long as we go to inquire, we can definitely inquire about him. Maybe he still has the authentic copy of the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" handed down by his ancestors. ”
“…… Are you saying that Wang Xizhi's descendants are in the Central Plains? Bing Yu swallowed, shocked by the sudden news.
"Well, do you want to go to him now?"
"So what are you waiting for. Go now! Go now! ”
Bing Yu urged the mana, and the two of them arrived in Wuxing County, Zhejiang Province in an instant. After inquiring about the local people, everyone said that there is a Shanlian town within a radius of 20 miles, and there is a temple called Yongxin Temple in the back mountain of the town, and there is a monk in the temple who is good at calligraphy, I don't know if you are looking for that person.
When the two of them heard this, it was estimated that this monk was Yongzen Master, that is, the seventh grandson of Wang Xizhi they were looking for.
When I came to Yongxin Temple while speaking, I saw that the temple door was empty, and the sound of chanting faintly came from the temple. The two pushed the door in, thinking that they would be able to see the legendary descendant of the Wang family immediately, and their hearts couldn't help beating several beats faster.
The temple is not big, but it is very clean, and several monks are sitting in the main hall doing morning classes, and the Sanskrit sound is endless. The two stood outside the temple and waited.
After the monks finished chanting, Qing Xuan found a short monk and asked, "May I ask the master, is there a Yongzen master who can write calligraphy here?" ”
The monk recited the phrase "Amitabha" and replied, "Master Yongzen has wandered." Donor, please come back later. ”
“…… Traveling? "Is there any mistake, I finally came here after a long journey, and I was not there. Qing Xuan was a little annoyed, and Bing Yu was like a deflated ball, and he lost his spirit when he landed.
"Yes, he traveled a few months ago." The little monk repeated.
"And when will he be back?" Qing Xuan asked.
"This, he didn't say it when he left, I estimate, at least half a year, at most three years and five years."
Qing Xuan looked at Bing Yu, Bing Yu looked at Qing Xuan, and said in his heart: It takes so long to come back, it's really harmful. But fortunately, it was not in vain, at least I knew that the legendary Zen master was indeed there, as long as I found him, I could confirm whether he was a descendant of Wang Xi.
No, I can only find out after half a year. The two sighed and left Yongxin Temple and returned to Chang'an.
……
"Your Majesty, I heard that a monk came to the capital recently, this monk's calligraphy is very good, he has only been in the capital for a few days, and he whistled in the capital, you see, do you want to invite him to write a few words for us?" Wei Zheng stood in the Heart Cultivation Hall and said to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin loves calligraphy, and when he heard that there was a calligrapher in the capital, his eyes immediately flashed blue light.
"Please, please come and show me, such a master of calligraphy, I really want to see his appearance and his writing." Li Shimin didn't say a word, so he asked Wei Zheng to invite that person.
Wei Zheng received the will, changed into civilian clothes, inquired about the monk's stay, and then took a sedan chair to the pavilion where he was staying. When he arrived at the front of the house, he got off the sedan chair and was led by Xiao Er to the room where he lived, and saw that the monk had white hair and beard, and he was full of bones. Busy explaining the meaning, the monk reported his family name, Wei Zheng suddenly realized, it turned out that this is the legendary Xi descendant!
