"Don't worry about that, we just do what we need to do and what we should do right now."

Sure enough, as Zhen Niang guessed, after Mrs. Li and the shopkeeper Li read the letter, they didn't care about the battle in Nanjing.

Do what should be done now, as for the things after that, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and the Li family has never flinched when it comes to making ink.

"It's decided?" Luo Wenqian moved a chair to sit next to the Li family's seat at this time, and beckoned Xiao Er to add a pot of tea.

His casual behavior should have been a little sideways, but the Luo family was a big and young man, and he was also a celebrity in Huizhou back then, and then the Luo family was defeated, but this guy didn't flutter twice and got up again, and he was Li Jiading's son-in-law, so no one cared.

"Hmm. You should know the temperament of my grandfather and my seventh grandmother. Zhenniang nodded spontaneously.

Seeing Zhenniang nodded, Luo Wenqian didn't say much, he hurriedly sent the letter, and he also had the heart to let the Li family give up the tribute and not participate in the fight in Nanjing, but the Li family's decision was not surprising to him, and if it was him, he would not retreat easily.

At this time, he sat on the side while pouring tea for the old shopkeeper Li, and at the same time accompanied the old shopkeeper Li to chat for a while, but he thought in his heart, after all, he still has some way in his hands, if there is really a case, it is a big deal to spend more money, what's the matter, it is possible to keep the Li family safe one by one.

In this way, this tribute to the ink power must be fought to the end.

It's just that they are fighting to the end, but Mrs. Li and the shopkeeper Li have a heavy face.

"Today, the performance of the three ink testers is a little wrong." At this time, the shopkeeper Li looked at a few paintings and calligraphy hanging there by the light of the lantern.

"The Tian family has used the means." Luo Wenqian responded, the Tian family is too utilitarian. and superstitious about power. It's weird not to mess with ghosts at this time.

On the one hand, the seventh grandmother of the Li family also had a calm face. Snorted coldly: "Let's watch." Regardless of whether zuihou and my Li family get the right to pay tribute or not, there must be a convincing statement, otherwise, then my wife will also go out, so I have to make a fuss. When the time comes, I don't care if it looks good or not. ”。

Although the Li family has declined, the hundred-year-old family supports it and really needs to be used. There's always some way. And Mrs. Li can always support the Li family, it is not simple.

It's just that the Li family has always been a widow in seven rooms, and Huizhou is extremely famous, so Mrs. Li has always been very low-key.

"Seventh Grandma, I have a way." Zhen Niang said with a calm face at this time.

"Oh, tell me." The seventh grandmother looked at Zhenniang and nodded, this girl has always had a lot of ideas.

So Zhen Niang whispered her thoughts to her grandfather and seventh grandmother, in fact, it was very simple to use Su Dongpo's ink test method instead of the ink master to test the ink.

"No, it won't. Previously, the ink tester was selected by the people of the Ink Affairs Bureau, and it was customary for the ink tester to test the ink. Or can we change it if we say it? Old Madam Li shook her head, Zhenniang's idea is good, but it may not be realized.

"What if I can prove that the ink tester is a fraud?" Zhenniang squinted and replied.

"Is that true? If that's the case, then we're up to the mark. Old Madam Li stared at Li Zhenniang with shining eyes.

Zhenniang nodded heavily.

At this time, a person who looked like a little second went to pour tea for the Tian family.

Luo Wenqian saw that the little second stuffed a letter in Tian Ronghua, Tian Ronghua's face changed color after reading it, so he handed the letter to Master Tian, but after Master Tian read the letter, he remained silent.

"In my opinion, maybe the Tian family will automatically give up the tribute." Luo Wenqian suddenly curled the corners of his mouth and said.

"How?" Zhenniang looked up at him.

"The Tian family has also received news from Nanjing." Luo Wenqian squinted his eyes and said.

Listening to Luo Wenqian say this, Zhen Niang suddenly realized, if this is the case, maybe the Tian family will really give up, compared with the Li family, the Tian family has always known how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages.

At this time, the sudden rainstorm outside finally stopped, and as the rain stopped, the black clouds rolling in the sky also dispersed, and the sky suddenly brightened.

The tribute contest between the two families continued.

"The purple jade light of the Tian family, since Luo Mo, has been a tribute ink for more than ten years, and the Li family's Sihe ink, which is the famous ink of ancient times, once had the reputation that gold is easy to obtain and hard to find. In this way, I will invite a few gentlemen to continue to test the ink, let us all see who is better in this Li family Sihe ink or Tian family's purple jade light. At this time, the master of ceremonies of the Ink Division continued, and then began to test the ink.

In Yuan Bai and Kang You's paintings, it is obvious that the purple jade light of the Tian family is higher than that of the Li family's Sihe ink, and Lu Chong's paintings are still evenly divided.

And in general, it is still the Luo family's purple jade that is brighter than the Li family's Sihe Mo.

Seeing this result, Zhen Niang suddenly stood up and bowed, and said to Lord Liu's words: "My lord, the little girl has a reluctant request.

"Oh, tell me about it." Liu Daren.

"I'd like to ask you to try the ink again in a different way." Zhen Niang said.

Li Zhenniang's words caused everyone to be in an uproar, doesn't the Li family mean that the Li family does not recognize the results of the three ink masters?

"Miss Li, what do you mean by that?" At this time, Mr. Na Yuanbai couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up and asked. The Li family is in Chiguoguo, slapping him in the face.

Li Zhenniang stared at Mr. Yuan Bai with two eyes, but replied calmly: "Mr. Yuan Bai, my Li family has no other meaning, but I just think that the three gentlemen don't know much about Li Mo's characteristics, or the techniques used are not very suitable for Li Mo, so that when trying the ink, not only did they fail to show Li Mo's advantages, but instead used some techniques that were not suitable for Li Mo, which made Li Mo's advantages become disadvantages." Therefore, we hope to try again in another way, the little woman has heard of Mr. Dongpo's method of testing ink, the inkstone inkstone is studied, and the book is written on the white jade board, and all ink is defeated. Therefore, I would like to ask adults to prepare a deinked stone inkstone and a fine white jade plate, which is simpler and more intuitive to use this method to test ink. Zhen Niang said.

"Miss Li, I am willing to lose the bet, this is obviously because your Li Momo is not good. But it's up to us ink testers. Isn't it too rude to do something? Please also ask Miss Li to give us an explanation. Yuan Bai will not be polite to Li Zhenniang. At this time aggressive Dao.

He made up his mind in his heart, and tried the ink color on the white jade board, especially the ink level, which was clear at the first try, if he really let the Li family come back to this time, then his face today would be loaded.

"I think Mr. Yuan Bai has misunderstood, the Li family is not a person who can't afford to lose, but it is clear that if you lose, you have to lose? It's not appropriate for my Li family to be confused. Moreover, the little woman said that the three gentlemen did not understand Li Mo's characteristics, and the techniques used were not suitable for Li Mo, which was not nonsense, and it was also well-documented. Zhenniang said calmly.

"Oh, then ask Miss Li for advice." Mr. Yuanbai gritted his teeth.

"I didn't dare to teach properly, so the little woman spoke, and everyone here judged it." Li Zhenniang said, bowed to everyone, and walked in front of the previous three painters' ink test calligraphy and painting.

first pointed to the words in it and said: "These pairs of calligraphy written by Mr. Yuanbai and Mr. Kangyou are written in cursive. All of you here are people in the ink industry, and everyone knows that my Li Mo ink is as good as lacquer. The ink is pale, and the seal script and the pavilion body are more calm and atmospheric, this is my Li Mo's advantage, not to mention that the fonts used by the various yamen of the imperial court are also pavilion styles, how come it is now that when the tribute is being sent, the pavilion body is abandoned and not used? Isn't it reasonable to use this kind of cursive that can't concretely reflect the color of ink? ”

Speaking of this, Zhen Niang paused and continued: "Besides, the previous Liuhe Sancai ink, we are a fusion of various ink methods, and there is no problem with writing any font, but Mr. Yuanbai's cursive script should be the place of Feibai's technique, but Mr. Yuanbai paused, which made the ink stagnate, so that the "qi" of the whole character was stagnant, you can see, is what the little woman said right? This makes me, Li Mo, look inferior to Tian Mo. Zhen Niang said, and looked at the humanity of the Mo Division.

Before, everyone just paid attention to the ink color, after all, it was a test of ink, but now after Zhen Niang said this, and then looked at those words, everyone found that as the girl of the Li family said, the poor performance in Li Mo's calligraphy before was not on the ink color, but on the treatment of the ink tester. For a moment, the people watching the ceremony whispered.

Na Yuanbai's face was also pale at this time, and he argued forcefully: "Strong words, my font is like this." ”

"That's why I said that Mr. Yuanbai's technique is not suitable for Li Mo." Zhen Niang replied, but Yuan Bai had nothing to say.

Zhen Niang wanted to say that nature was to the end, and then continued: "Let's talk about painting, everyone knows that the clouds should be blurred, the water should be smooth, this is all done in one go, but look at this painting, every time it flows, Mr. Yuan Bai's pen has to pause, making the clouds heavy and stagnant, and the charm of Li Mozhong is not expressed at all." ”

Speaking of this, Zhen Niang paused again and continued: "Of course, Mr. Yuanbai wants to say that my Li Mose has no agility and charm, but in fact, this is not the case, this little woman can point out to Mr. Yuanbai." ”

Speaking of this, Zhen Niang walked to Mr. Lu Chong's two attempts before and after the shepherd boy riding a scalper, stretched out her finger and pointed to the eyes of the shepherd boy on the painting and said: "The eyes are the most agile place on the human body, Mr. Lu Chong used Li Mo and Tian Mo to paint the shepherd boy cattle picture, my Li Mo and Tian Mo's performance is not up and down, but you can't help but take a closer look at the eyes of the shepherd boy, with my Li Mo painted eyes implied ink color, the pupils are distinct in depth and light, very quiet, it looks very smart, but it is the eyes of the shepherd boy in Tian Mo's painting, because Tian Mo's ink color is unstable, so that the pupils are scattered and godless, if a test of ink, it can be said to be a coincidence, but now, before and after two test of ink, it is like this, then our Li Shi asked to try the ink again should not be too much, right? ”

After Zhen Niang said this, everyone looked carefully at the shepherd boy's eyes, and sure enough, it was as she said. Immediately, everyone looked at Yuan Bai and Kang You's eyes a little strange, although it can be said that the painting skills of the two are not suitable for Li Mo, but most people actually understand that there should be no problem in painting skills if they can become a court ink tester.

It is natural to guess whether Yuanbai Kangyou took the benefits of the Tian family, after all, the Tian family's last Gongmo election campaign was already criticized.

Yuan Bai and Kang You looked pale, knowing that after this ink test, the reputation of the two was over. And Lu Chong, who was sitting on the side, was also afraid for a while at this time, he naturally used some techniques to improve Tian Mo's ink color, but he always liked to leave some leeway in doing things, so he did not deliberately suppress Li Mo's performance, and because of this, Li Mo Tian Mo's performance in his paintings is equally divided.

It's just the place of the eyes, he really doesn't care too much, and the room for turning around is too small, so he comes according to the feeling of painting on weekdays, but he didn't expect the Li family to grasp this, and now that he has such a moment, he can be alone.

In this case, the Li family's request is also reasonable. (To be continued......)
