Zhang Yue and Zhang Cai's chat seemed to have met a bosom friend, and they had the feeling of being at the end of the world at the same time.

Zhang Yue is a Shu clan, Zhang Cai is a concubine, and it is inevitable that there are many common languages.

This Shu clan statement is actually inconclusive, such as Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng are both descendants of Zhang Zaijun.

Zhang Heng is the fourth son of Zhang Rensong, the son of Zhang Zaijun, who was the secretary of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and gave birth to four sons, Wentong, Shilian, and Shiqing.

Zhang Heng is the eldest son Zhang Wenzhu, and Zhang De is like the third son Zhang Shilian.

Zhang Hengben settled in Zhejiang to study, and only came to ethnology in the past two years.

And Zhang Dexiang, Zhang Heng with this line, because Zhang Dexiang worshiped the prime minister, the imperial court posthumously sealed his third generation, and shaded his descendants as officials, so this line became a prominent family.

That's the benefit of having a prime minister in the family. Otherwise, the generation of officials is not as good as the generation, and they will gradually become civilians.

And Zhang Yue is Zhang Zijun's other son who served as the squire of the Southern Tang Dynasty Ministry of Industry, and the fifth son Zhang Renche is in this line. Zhang Renche had seven sons, and he scattered even more when he got below.

However, this subject is also a large number of scholars, successively Zhang Di, Zhang Pin, Zhang Visit, Zhang Yu Kejia Lianjie, Zhang Yue's son Zhang Kai is also because of the official shadow of his uncle Zhang Dexiang, and was awarded the general supervisor without the imperial examination......

The relationship between clan relatives is also very metaphysical, you are an official, I am also an official, and I can have a relationship for eight lifetimes, on the contrary, my brothers also dislike it.

When Zhang Yue and Zhang Cai sat side by side in front of the bantam lacquer case and talked side by side, they heard Xie Yuan Lin Xi look at the big seal in the hall and read: "Daoist, Mother of Heaven and Earth!" What a post! ”

The professor smiled.

Lin Xi said: "I heard that since Li Si in the Qin Dynasty, there is only one Li Yangbing in the Tang Dynasty; After Li Yangbing, there is only one Xu Xuan. Mr. Boyi studied under Mr. Da Xu, such as You, Zixia, the son of the master. ”

The professor said with a smile: "There are too many hearsay, my uncle Zhang Gu taught under Mr. Xiao Xu, and he got his seal book to pass it on, and my uncle passed this method to me." ”

The above bunch of names is a bit confusing.

The Mr. Xiao Xu mentioned above is Xu Xuan's brother Xu Kai, and the two are extremely talented in the Southern Tang Dynasty and are known as Jiangdong Erxu.

Mr. Da Xu, of course, is more famous. Xu Xuan was the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty for three generations with his talent, and sent many envoys to the Song Dynasty to meet Zhao Kuangyin to beg for mercy for Empress Li.

History records that Zhao Kuangyin sent troops to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, Xu Xuan said to Zhao Kuangyin, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, like a son and a father, has never made a mistake, why did you beat me?

Zhao Kuangyin said, have you ever heard of a father and son living in two separate houses?

Once Xu Xuan pleaded with Zhao Kuangyin again, saying that our Li Tang is so deferential, you Da Song can't beat me.

Zhao Kuangyin listened to the anger and pulled out his sword to cut the case, what is the crime of the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin said a classic saying, but this is a surname in the world, on the side of the couch, how can others sleep peacefully.

The Southern Tang Dynasty destroyed the country, Li Houzhu was captured in Bianjing, Taizong Zhao Kuangyi sent Xu Xuan to visit Li Houzhu, Li Houzhu cried to him, I killed Pan You and Li Ping by mistake, and regretted it.

Xu Xuan relayed this sentence to Song Taizong, and the history records that Empress Li was killed because of this sentence.

In any case, Xu Xuan moved the world with his literary fame.

Xu Xuan sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty for the first time, and everyone in the Song Dynasty had heard of this person's name, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were afraid that their eloquence was not as good as Xu Xuan's, so they were timid and did not dare to deal with it. Zhao Kuangyin said angrily, you cowards, I have a way. So Zhao Kuangyin found an illiterate person to accompany him. At the beginning, Xu Xuan's words were like clouds, and the Song ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, but the person who accompanied him nodded no matter what Xu Xuan said.

As a result, Xu Hyun talked to himself, and he was defeated because of his dry mouth.

As for Zhang Gu, he has studied with Xu Xuan and Xu Kai, and he has passed on everything he has, including Xu Xuan's most proud seal book. Zhang Gu ascended to the branch in the second year of Kaibao and won the first place in the Southern Tang Dynasty, that is, the champion.

However, in the ninth year of Kaibao, the Southern Tang Dynasty perished, and Xu Kai died in fear of the Song army's siege of Jinling the year before. After the Southern Tang Dynasty was broken, Zhang Gu rejected the Song Dynasty with the "deep favor of the Southern Tang Dynasty Lord", and helped the teacher Xu Kai's coffin to return to his hometown for burial and lived in seclusion.

As for the professor, he was educated in Zhanggu. Because the teacher hated the Song Dynasty, he had no intention of becoming an official.

When he heard that Zhang Dexiang was the prime minister, he had planned to shadow Professor Yu but resigned for him.

During the reign of Emperor You, even Song Renzong, the current official, heard the reputation of the professor from the mouth of his close ministers, and ordered him to enter Beijing as an official, and the professor also shirked his illness.

Later, if the imperial court wanted to engrave the stone scriptures, it was necessary to use seal scripts and call professors to Beijing again. After the professor resigned and was not allowed to enter Beijing and carved into a stone scripture, the imperial court wanted to grant the professor the post of supervisor for the third time, but he still refused.

There are people like Xu Xuan, and there are also people like Zhang Guna. There is also a professor, he is not a relict of the Southern Tang Dynasty, not to mention that the Southern Tang Dynasty has been an ancient country for a long time, and he has no bitter hatred for the Song Dynasty to destroy the country, but he was ordered by the teacher and refused to be edicted by the imperial court three times.

But the professor is not a stubborn person, and has been teaching the way of tribute to the children of the Zhang family for more than ten years in Nanfeng Academy.

According to Zhang Yue's knowledge, the stone scripture carved by the professor was called the Jiayou Stone Scripture by later generations, also known as the two-body stone scripture, with regular script, seal script and two-body script.

In order to correct the errors in the transmission of scriptures, the Han Dynasty carved the stone scriptures for the first time and used a font in Lishu. Cao Wei carved the stone scripture again, with the ancient text, small seal, Han Li three fonts, known as the three-body stone scripture.

Now the Song Dynasty carved stone scriptures in Taixue, with regular script, small seal two bodies, small seal is carved by the professor. The professor became famous for his calligraphy and finally resigned and returned to China. It does not live up to the inheritance of the teacher, nor does it live up to the teacher's life.

The professor's name is Youzhi, and the word Boyi.

Lin Xi complimented him a few times, and then said in a tone of regret: "I don't mean Li Si, after Li Yangbing, the seal book was passed down because of Mr., I don't know which disciple in the hall got the true inheritance of Mr.?" ”

Professor Zhang Youzhi shook his head with a smile and said, "Now that the tribute script is not used in seal script, it has long been lost, and it has not been passed on." ”

Lin Xi was also full of regret and said: "It's a pity. ”

Zhang Heng said with a smile on the side: "Sir, the middle brother of the son is interested in learning the seal method, so it is better to teach him." ”

After listening to Zhang Heng, Zhang Yue saw that all the students in the hall showed a mysterious smile.

Zhang Yue asked Zhang Cai, "Isn't there anything strange?" ”

Zhang Cai smiled: "You will know it when you hear it." ”

Zhang You said straightly: "Oh, does Xie Yuanlang want to learn the seal method?" That's really hearty, so why should such an old man cherish himself? ”

Lin Xi's face was filled with joy and said, "The student is willing to listen." ”

Zhang You said straightly: "When you go home, take two large pieces of paper, one large paper and draw nineteen horizontal and vertical lines, and cross them into a game of Go." Take another large piece of paper and draw ten layers of circles from the inside to the outside as an arrow target. Write 30 sheets each day, a total of 60 sheets. ”

Zhang Yue was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but say, Are you kidding me?

Look at Lin Xi again, too.

You're kidding me.

Zhang You continued: "All square and circular lines need to be drawn with one stroke, not repeatedly. And the thickness of the strokes, the sparse intervals, are not bad, a little small can learn the seal method. ”

After speaking, Zhang You turned around, and didn't look at Lin Xi, who was unconvinced, and said straightly: "Take two large pieces of paper." ”

On the side, Zhang Heng also seemed to have expected this step, and said very playfully: "Mr. has already prepared it." ”

After that, the two students took two large pieces of paper at the moment, and each paper was spliced together with four pieces of paper. Then two students each held a pavement on the wall.

Zhang Youzhi didn't say a word, holding a pen and dyeing ink in the air.

It didn't take long for the chessboard and target to be drawn.

All the students stepped forward to watch, and even Zhang Yue took a closer look, but saw that the chessboard and arrow target were really as Zhang Youzhi said before, all the square and round lines need to be drawn with one stroke, and the thickness of the strokes and the sparse intervals are all exactly the same, just like the printer typesetting and printing.

Lin Xi looked at these two calligraphy sheets repeatedly and couldn't help sighing, not only sighing at how expensive the large piece of paper was, but also putting in so much effort to hone a technique that is not useful on weekdays, which is really a waste of time.

Lin Xi asked, "How many years will it take for Mr. Ruozhi to take this step?" ”

Zhang You was very willing to teach students and said: "If Xie Yuangong does this, it must be ten years, and if it is three or five years, it is enough." ”

Looking at Lin Xi's disappointed appearance, Zhang Cai on the side was already smiling, and Zhang Yue also understood, it turned out that they were deliberately using this method to trick Lin Xi, who called you Xie Yuanlang Such a beautiful situation.

However, everyone also knows that who has the leisure time to practice this seal script, and now the imperial examination is used in regular script.

Zhang Yue was a little thoughtful at the moment, and his eyes flashed.

Lin Xixian had already given up, and said, "Mr. has been taught." After learning, I have to balance this for a period of time, and then go to Beijing with Ziping to take the test, and ask Mr. to be able to guide the study during the period. ”

Zhang You said straightly: "I am here every day after the application for students to answer questions, Xie Yuanlang may as well come here when he has time, the old man will know everything." ”

"Thank you, sir."

After Lin Xi's visit, Zhang Yue also ended the day's homework.

Walking out of the Dayjin Hall, Zhang Yue felt that he had gained a lot this day.

After copying the book that day, Zhang Yue Guolin returned home. On this day, Zhang Yue didn't read anymore, and went to bed directly.

In his sleep, Zhang Yue came to that space again, and as his mind moved, he immediately volleyed into two large blank sheets of paper.

This blank piece of paper is definitely bigger than what you can see in the daytime at the Dayjin Hall.

Zhang Yue then followed the example, drawing a chessboard and arrow target with a pen, and the result was not unexpected, and the writing was really miserable. The lines are written like tadpoles, and the circles are even more ugly.

Zhang Yue thought to himself that when practicing calligraphy on weekdays, there is a difference between the pen used by the center and the pen used by the side forward.

The so-called drawing chessboard, drawing the arrow target is to practice the center with a pen, the chessboard to practice vertical, the arrow target to practice the turn, in fact, when practicing regular script, you can also use this skill.

That's right, if you practice this basic skill well, it will be of great benefit to both regular script and seal script.

So Zhang Yue calculated it in his heart.

Today's professor said that he needs to write 60 sheets a day, and it takes three to five years to complete it. I can't use up my pen, ink and paper here, if I use it for two hours, I can write more than 600 sheets a day, which is not nearly ten times faster.

And the most important thing is to practice calligraphy here, the hand will not be sore, the pen will not tremble!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue practiced without hesitation.
