After the old shopkeeper Li left, Zhenniang and Luo Wenqian looked at each other silently, and they were silent at this moment, and after a while, Luo Wenqian touched his nose: "I'm worried about you." ”

"Well, I'm worried." Zhen Niang nodded solemnly. Then he smiled at the corners of his mouth. The previous worries and uneasiness have disappeared at this time.

Luo Wenqian also let out a low chuckle. Then he stretched out his hand abruptly, and wiped his cool fingers on Zhenniang's forehead.

Zhenniang didn't have any shame, but Luo Wenqian's movements were too abrupt, so she looked at Luo Wenqian with some surprise.

Luo Wenqian's hand spread out in front of Zhen Niang's eyes, the wide palm, the fingers were slender, and on the tips of the index finger and middle finger, there was a touch of gray black: "It's stained with bituminous coal." Luo Wenqian said.

"Gee, my grandfather and I just came out of the ink shop. You know, to prepare for next year's Gongmo campaign. Zhen Niang explained lightly.

I was about to wipe it with my hands again. It's just Huo's, but the raised hand was gently held by Luo Wenqian, Luo Wenqian held Zhenniang's hand with one hand at this time, and with the other hand, he directly pulled his sleeve, wiped it lightly on Zhenliang's forehead, and said in a low voice: "I'll wipe it, you can't see it." ”

"Hmm." Zhenniang couldn't stop moving, and naturally let Rowan wipe the bituminous coal on his forehead. It's just that the warmth between the two hands makes Zhen Niang a little uncomfortable, but there is also a different kind of warmth.

And between them, they were so close that they could hear the sound of their heartbeats.

"Alright." At this time, Luo Wenqian put down his hand. Zhen Niang smiled lightly.

At this time, a fine and dense rain falls.

"It's raining again." Luo Wenqian said, and hurriedly pulled his sleeves to block Zhen Niang's head. Then the two of them slipped away to the verandah. Then look at each other. He laughed.

Then she sat on the wooden fence on the side of the porch. And Luo Wenqian leaned on the pillar of the verandah, and then talked about the things in Shanxi. And Zhenniang inevitably had to ask about the Yishang in Shizhou.

Speaking of Shizhou righteous businessmen, Luo Wenqian touched his nose, and said with an exaggerated appearance of others: "I am an ordinary businessman, at that time, it is difficult to protect myself, and I can't control the life and death of others, just watching a stubble of people being slaughtered." Watching every household being burned, looking at the blood all over the ground, and then looking at the hideous smile of the Tartars, that is what the stone man can't tolerate, I thought, what if we merchants make all the wealth of the world again?

The imperial court is weak, and at the beginning in the north, which of the gold we worked so hard to dig up was willing to give it to others, but after all, for our own safety and to keep our wealth. The eldest brothers were willing to let me give half of the gold mine to Qi Shuai and let him use it to raise soldiers. But a Qi Shuai can keep our gold mine, but can he keep these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? Once the Tartars invade the country, all the wealth of the family will be plundered, and human lives will be slaughtered like pigs and dogs. I was so angry that I wondered what was the use of the money. So I made that kind of reward, in fact, now that I think about it, it's really a little overwhelmed, how much talent can I have alone? However, fortunately, several big local families also responded to the move, even some brothers on Luliang Mountain just asked me to invite them to a meal of wine and meat afterwards, and they were righteous men. ”

Luo Wenqian said in a low voice. It is both exclamatory and passionate, but also low and bitter.

Zhenniang can feel Luo Wenqian's pressure, such a slaughtering environment, anyone who has seen it, how can there be no pressure, I am afraid that it will be a nightmare every night.

Therefore, without saying anything, the hand gently covered the back of Luo Wenqian's hand holding the railing.

At this time, the sweet smell of wine came from the kitchen.

"Brother Luo, the wine is warm, let's drink." Zhen Niang gently pulled Luo Wenqian's hand and said.

"Okay, let's drink." Luo Wenqian cheered up his spirits and said. The two were about to run all the way back to the hall, when Luo Wenqian stopped again and asked Zhen Niang, "By the way, Zhen Niang, does your father still have contact with the Qin family?" ”

"The Qin family? You mean the Qin family who saved my father? Zhenniang paused and asked. To be honest, she has been famous in the Qin family for a long time, but she has never seen the Qin family.

"Hmm." Luo Wenqian nodded.

"At the beginning of the year, the Qin family originally wanted my father to partner with them to open a trading house, but my father wanted to take care of the ink workshop, so he refused, and the Qin family seems to have something to do, so the year is almost over, and no one from the Qin family comes, and my father and the Qin family have no contact for the time being." Zhenniang thought about it and replied. Then he raised his eyes to look at Luo Wenqian, and asked a little tentatively, "What's wrong?" ”

Regarding the rank rumor in the family tree, Zhen Niang combined with the current facts, and speculated that she had made a fortune abroad back then, and it was her own current eight rooms that were ready to take back Li Mo from Li Jincai.

And in that period of rank, the eighth room was beheaded by the cause of the Tartar, but what was said in the rank was simple, and the specific situation Zhenniang could not guess, but there was a vague feeling that it would be related to the Qin family, after all, it is impossible for the father to contact the Tartar now, and the only connection to the north is this Qin family.

It's just that the Qin family has a life-saving grace with their own father, and they are far away from the mountains, Zhen Niang has no way to know the situation of the Qin family, so it's hard to guess at will.

"Some things are not easy to say now, but I am basically sure that the Qin family is related to the Tartars, and I heard from some mountain bandits on the side of Lu Liang that the Qin family often cooperates with the Tartars in order to compete for business, robbing and killing caravans." Luo Wenqian said.

"Are you saying that if something happened to the caravan that my father was in back then, it was probably the Qin family and the Tartars?" Zhenniang's eyes widened. It was so unexpected.

"I'm not sure yet, I've asked someone to investigate this matter, in short, the Qin family, you still have to pay attention to your father, the life-saving grace will naturally be repaid, but you can't hide it."

"Okay, I see." Zhenniang nodded cautiously.

Seeing the seriousness of Zhen Niang's face, Luo Wenqian smiled in a low voice: "Well, don't worry too much. ”

"Understood." Zhenniang also smiled.

Then the two of them ran back to the house, one after the other.

The table of eight immortals in the hall has already served the wine, and the warm haode wine is steaming. Li Jingfu saw Luo Wenqian come in, so he pulled him to eat and drink, it was Li Lao's shopkeeper, and he was happy today. He also asked Zhenniang to pour him a small cup. Little by little. It's quite pleasant.

Let's not talk about Shanxi's affairs, but naturally about next year's tribute and ink affairs, and the old shopkeeper Li asked some Luo Mo's ink skills from time to time. For this, Luo Wenqian knows that he is speechless, and he has endless words.

Old Man Li was moved when he heard this, so he also talked about the Li Sihe ink method he had studied before.

The current Luo Mo has actually fused Pan Mo, its emphasis is on qi, and the handwriting written is elegant. It is very smart, and Li Mo is very heavy, the ink is clumsy, and the handwriting is black and steady, and the atmosphere is magnificent.

It can be said that these two have their own characteristics, but they also have their own shortcomings, Luo Mo is too elegant and smart, the ink color is unstable, easy to fade, and it is difficult to become ink bones. And Li Mo is calm and atmospheric, but too calm. If you lose the change, although you can become a black bone, it is a 'dead thing'.

And it's not easy to combine these two styles into one.

"Li Mo is clumsy and calm like 'earth', Luo Mo is elegant and agile like 'sky', this heaven and earth can't be together, if you really want to be hard together, then the five elements are disordered, and ink can't be done." Old Shopkeeper Li said contemplatively.

"Grandpa, not necessarily." Li Zhenniang on the side held chopsticks and said amazingly.

"How?" Old Shopkeeper Li looked at Zhen Niang, what idea does this girl have? On the side, Luo Wenqian also looked at Zhenniang with a smile.

"The hidden elements of the earth can become all things, and man is the masterpiece of all things, and the 'earth' must become 'man' if it is to be united with 'heaven', so that heaven and man can be one." Zhen Niang said.

This is a bold hypothesis that she has just come up with, and the reason why ink was admired and collected by the ancients in this era is not only the writing and carving techniques, but the whole process of its production, which is almost a kind of Tao. Heaven and man are one, and ink bones are natural.

In later generations, Li Zhenniang's grandfather once said when he was studying the ink bones left by ancient ink that if you want to understand ancient ink, you must understand the Tao contained in ancient ink.

"Well, in this way, if you want to merge the ink skills of Li Luo's two families, you have to make a fuss about Li Mo." Old Shopkeeper Li pondered.

"Old man, do you see if this is the case, Li Luo's two ink skills, the Mahayana of heaven and earth, heaven and earth are the universe, up and down, east and west, north and south are the universe, also known as the Liuhe ......" Luo Wenqian pondered at this time.

"And the earth is an adult, and the man is in the sky, and this is the three talents of heaven, earth and man." Zhen Niang followed closely, what she said was the fusion of Li Luomo's method, which is the three-talent ink method.

At this time, the shopkeeper Li also slapped the table and said excitedly: "Liuhe Sancai? Yes, the first six and !!! That's it, I'm going to improve Lee's four and ink into Lee's six and ink. ”

Ink and glue will add a layer of difficulty to each harmony, four and is already excellent, six and I am afraid that it will be to the extreme. However, no matter what, after a conversation with several people this time, Li Mo's ideas for Li Mo's six and three talents came out.

"When the big white floats." Luo Wenqian said with a smile.

So everyone drank wine, even Zhenniang also drank a cup, and her face was red and unpleasant.

In the next few days, the grandfather and grandson of Mr. Li's shopkeeper and Zhenniang were like magic barriers, and their heads were drilled on the research of Li's Liuhe Sancaimo. As soon as the affairs in the ink shop were handled, Li Jingfu and Zheng Fuli were handled.

And Sun Wenjie, this kid is also angry, after a month of day and night study, he really broke through several levels, and was recognized by the masters of the ink workshop, and his understanding of various materials is very solid, and this kid is not satisfied with knowing the materials, and made up his mind to make high-quality bituminous coal.

What Zhen Niang didn't know was that it was this time that made there be an extra Sun Molai in later generations. Although it is not as brilliant as the four famous masters of Qingmo, it also has good results.

It was almost November, and because of the preparation of tribute and ink, Zhen Niang, Li Lao and others had to go back to Huizhou first.

………………

(Well, a certain sugar is here to say that this paragraph of Li Shiliu and Sancaimo is made up by a certain sugar, after all, it is a novel, of course, this kind of apocryphal is based on the theory of the ancients, and it is not too messy, hehe.) Before that, some other ink methods and ink techniques, although not all of them were correct, but most of them were based on the source of the information. (To be continued......)
