Chapter 120: Words Like Their Person
Lin Tian passed the test of Father Meng in a daze, and whoever he left would be at a loss; What's more, it's such a thing as marrying a daughter?
Seeing the excitement on his face, Father Meng also said seriously, "Xiaotian, do you know why you are qualified?" ”
"Uncle, what do you say?" Lin Tian said very modestly;
"When you're asked to write, you're about to face three tests." Dream Father said slowly;
"Three?" Lin Tian said incredulously; Lin Tian thought that this must be a test given to him by Father Meng, but what he didn't expect was that this word actually included three tests.
Father Dream nodded slowly; Then, Lin Tian asked again, "Uncle, I don't know what these three tests are?" “
I saw Father Meng stretch out his first finger and said, "As the saying goes, words are like people, and I can see what kind of person you are when you write, this is the first test." “
Father Meng stretched out his second finger and said, "By the way, I can see how your mind is in the process of moving the pen?" This is the second test. “
Finally, Father Meng stretched out his third finger and said, "The last test is the word 'home' you wrote. “
After Lin Tian listened to Father Meng's words, he was really stunned, he had heard of a thief, but he had never heard of such a thief; This also happens to welcome the phrase "ginger is still old and spicy". However, in addition to being surprised, Lin Tian also felt a lot, since Father Meng can see a person's character from a word, and judge what kind of person he is? This also shows that his attainment in calligraphy is very high.
However, this is exactly the case, so it aroused Lin Tian's interest even more, and Lin Tian said affectionately, "I don't know if my uncle is assessed?" ”
Father Meng knew that young people were rarely interested in calligraphy nowadays, but when he saw Lin Tian very interested, he was very relieved, and said, "Su Dongpo, a great writer of the Song Dynasty, has very incisive insights on calligraphy; He attributed calligraphy to a single "Qing" character; As the saying goes: the clean person is self-purifying, and the "clean" must be "high wind and dust." “
Seeing that Lin Tian was listening very carefully, Father Meng was even more satisfied, at this time, in his opinion, the son-in-law in front of him was more and more pleasing to the eye; Then the dream father said again, "Qing is a kind of beauty of super-speed, seeking fame, insincere, let alone a quatrain of clear seconds." ”
After Father Meng finished speaking, he recited a poem very impassionedly, "Qingli helps the birds to come from themselves, and the halal Yi is planted with few hands." The dark red and light purple are contending, and the snow-white goose yellow is also open. Chop the bamboo through the flowers and break the green moss, and the small poem is for the alder planting. Take a closer look at the beginning of creation, and the flowers bloom spontaneously in the south of the Yangtze River in spring. Riding a donkey into the wilderness, I want to see my husband when he is not sick. persuaded me to try to ask for a three-acre house, but Gong Gong felt ten years late. The first is not real, and idle flowers are also occasionally planted. Talk about pure offerings, but open to Taoists. ”
Although Lin Tian didn't understand what the poem Dream Father was reciting? But seeing him chanting so selflessly, completely immersed in this poem, he also admired his father-in-law more and more.
After Father Meng finished reciting, he said again, "And although what you wrote is not as chic and free as Su Dongpo, I can still feel the meaning from it." ”
Lin Tian was full of black lines, and said in his heart, "I thought you said so much just now to say that my words can be compared with Su Shi." ”
Father Meng naturally didn't know this idea, Father Dream didn't grasp the essence of Su Shi's words after decades of hard practice, if it was really that easy, Su Dongpo's words would not be so cherished.
Then, Dream Father said again, "Finally, the word you chose: home; It seems like a simple word, but I can feel from it that you are a person who longs for home, a person who knows how to cherish home, and a person who can place all the hopes in your family. “
After Father Meng's words, Lin Tian was completely convinced; Just when Father Meng was about to say something, Lin Tian bowed to Father Dream very respectfully; And Lin Tian's move attracted the curiosity of Father Meng.
"Xiaotian, how are you?" Dream Father asked strangely;
"Uncle, this bow is completely voluntary; Just leaving aside my boyfriend who is not Mengmeng, you should accept my bow. Lin Tian said solemnly;
When Father Meng saw Lin Tian's sincere eyes, he didn't ask, but one thing was certain: the young man in front of him decided to be a person worthy of his daughter's life.
The reason why Lin Tian bowed was that Father Meng read the ups and downs of his life from one word. He was an orphan since he was a child, and how he longed to have a complete home; It was because he couldn't get it, so Lin Tian cherished the time between him and Dragon Emperor Tian even more, which was what he cherished for a family;
In stark contrast to the calm study, in the living room, Monglu's mother and Monlu's second aunt sat in the living room and chatted together; But Monlu was restless, looking left and right, and from time to time she went back and forth in place.
Seeing that her daughter was very anxious, Dream Mother said angrily, "Hmph! I've been raising you for more than 20 years, and when I have a boyfriend, I even forgot about me, a mother. “
Although she was not really angry, Menglu saw her mother complaining like a child, so she quickly comforted, "Mom, don't be angry." “
Seeing that Menglu only remembered herself at this time, she also "mourned" and complained, "It is said that women are not left, and it turns out that my daughter is no exception." “
Menglu didn't have the mood to care about this now, so she said anxiously, "Mom, Xiaotian has been in for so long, is there any problem?" Will my dad be embarrassed for him? ”
"You stinky girl, what do you say about your father?" Mengmu knocked on Menglu's head; She took what she said just now as a deaf ear, and she didn't listen to it at all, and all she thought about in her mind was Lin Tian.
"But....but, it's been almost half an hour since Xiaotian went in." Monlu said anxiously; Even if it is a test, it should be almost over.
Menglu's reminder, Mengmu's mother was also puzzled, "Yes, it stands to reason that it should have ended a long time ago." ”
"Hmph, Mom, I said that I must be that my dad is embarrassing Xiaotian, and I am afraid that Xiaotian will come out to sue, so I won't let him come out." Monlu pouted;
Meng's mother was very angry and looked at her daughter, who belittled her father so much for her boyfriend.
And Menglu outside the study, but he didn't know that Lin Tian in the study actually learned calligraphy with Father Meng, and he had no concept of time at all for a while.
Until there was a knock on the door.
