Chapter 35: The True Biography
The carved leaks in the school flowed dripping and flowing.
The professor and Zhang Heng fell silent.
When Zhang Yue looked at the paper with satisfaction and put down the pen, he remembered that this was not in his sleep, but in the real world, and there were two people waiting for him beside him.
When Zhang Yue turned around, he saw that the professor was wandering out of the world, and Zhang Heng was frowning.
"Forehead ......"
"This is what you practiced by drawing chessboard arrows?" The professor asked.
"Exactly."
"Unbelievable." The professor said.
Zhang Hengshen thought so: "Professor, do you also think that this method (can't be practiced)......"
"Yes," the professor said thoughtfully, "I also said that this method can only be used on the seal method, but I didn't expect that it can be used in regular scripts, and there is also such a ...... of creation."
"It's definitely a ...... to create (make people)" Zhang Heng shook his head.
Zhang Yue glanced at Zhang Heng and said in his heart, why is this person so strange, saying half a sentence and leaving half a sentence.
Zhang You said slowly: "In fact, you all think that the seal method is useless now, but I don't know that there is a Qin seal and then a Han Li Tang Kai, and there is a big seal in ancient times, but it has been lost, and now only the Qin seal is called the seal book." ”
"The seal book takes the center as the bone, and the seal book is written, so that the pen is round and strong, which is the ancient law."
Zhang Heng said: "Professor, there is no side to the book, no research. ”
Zhang You looked straight at Zhang Heng and said, "Zhengfeng can't write well, how can you talk about the side?" I should be a beginner in the book, and then seek beauty. ”
Zhang Heng hurriedly apologized: "Yes, the student has been taught." ”
The front is the center, which is the calligraphy with the tip of the pen in the dot painting.
The flank is on the side of the pen, and the calligrapher calls the belly of the pen.
For example, why the calligrapher wants to twist the pipe and adjust the front, it is to remove the pen and trim the shape, and use the center to line the words.
Seal script only talks about the use of a pen in the center, while regular script only begins to use a pen in the side, not to mention the line script and cursive script. In addition to the faster writing of regular script, such as the orchid pavilion preface and other flowing lines, even those who know a rough sense of calligraphy can appreciate the beauty.
Therefore, it is said that the flank, the research also.
It's like most people like to write long apostrophes.
The eight methods of Yongzi that Zhang Yue learned were learned by taking the Yongzi in the preface of the Lanting Pavilion, and it was also the introduction to most people's calligraphy.
However, Yongzi is a regular script after all, and it talks about both the center and the flank.
The seal script is different, at first glance it is extremely difficult and not practical, but only talk about the center with a pen, as for drawing the chessboard to draw the arrow target, it is more out of the regular script of the Yongzi Eight Laws, starting from a more basic place, from beginning to end only learn the center line pen, can be described as specialized.
But such a basic skill, no one will practice it in leisure, most people practice for a month or two, and many people can write beautiful regular script after practicing a period of kung fu, and they don't have to spend this effort.
It's not that there are no children in the clan who practice this way, but none of them have practiced a doorway, and this son only used a month...... Zhang Heng felt that he couldn't figure it out.
And Zhang Heng is even more sullen, I don't know what Zhang Heng and the professor talked about from beginning to end, you discuss calligraphy skills or something, I don't know, anyway, it's dry from beginning to end!
That's it!
The professor looked at Zhang Yue and couldn't figure it out, it was not easy to practice to this point in just a few months, and the old man had never written like this back then.
Thinking of this, the professor said to Zhang Yue: "You draw the chessboard arrow target like this for three months, and then you come back here, if you grow again, the old man will pass on the seal law to you!" ”
The words "heir to the mantle" suddenly floated in Zhang Heng's mind, and his eyes were a little different when he looked at Zhang Yue, who was this person? was able to enter the professor's blue eye.
Zhang Yue was thinking about another question, does it cost money to learn this?
"Yes, sir, keep in mind that you will learn later. After school retirement! Zhang Yue said goodbye and left.
Zhang Yue said in his heart, put aside the money, learn it first.
But then I was stunned, yes, what is the money now? I got a salary increase, how could I forget such a big happy event.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but swell a little, but when he saw several people passing in front of him, he retracted, and retreated to the side of the road instead.
After these people passed, Zhang Yue thought that he was a person with three and a half dollars a page. But he is still so modest and low-key, and he really doesn't forget his original intention.
Zhang Yue walked back to the study building while thinking, but saw that the little girl was still squatting at the door of the pavilion with a chessboard, looking like she wanted to wear it.
Waiting for the little girl to see herself, the depths of her eyes suddenly bloomed, holding the chessboard in both hands, looking at herself with a blank look.
Zhang Yue pretended not to see it and walked straight into the door.
Bang! Zhang Yue'er heard the sound of a chessboard smashing on the ground behind him.
I'm a scumbag! I'm a scumbag!
Zhang Yue silently recited a few words to calm down, and then walked into the study building without looking back.
But seeing that Guo Lin was copying books with a pen, he looked exhausted.
Seeing Guo Lin like this, Zhang Yue couldn't speak for a while, but when he saw Guo Lin looking up and seeing that he was busy stopping his pen, he asked with concern: "Senior brother, is there anything that Professor Fang is looking for you?" ”
Guess what, brother!
In other words, Zhang Yue must have said it, but today he saw that Guo Lin was too tired, so he got straight to the point.
"Senior brother, let me tell you a good thing......"
"A good thing? Don't be in a hurry to say it first, and let Senior Brother try to guess one or two. Guo Lin thought to himself.
Zhang Yue......
"Senior brother, please stop guessing, let me tell you...... The professor has given me a page of three and a half dollars. ”
"That's three and a half dollars," Guo Lin said in surprise, "Yes, your handwriting has indeed improved recently, but I didn't expect the professor to agree, which is really a great joy." ”
After a pause, Guo Lin rubbed his sour eyes, and said earnestly: "However, although the book earns a lot, it is not a long-term solution. ”
"Although it is more than three and a half dollars a page, in the final analysis, the schoolwork is our foundation, and we still go to study when we look back!"
Listening to the advice of the senior brother, although it is a great truth, but this remark is not said to himself. But Guo Xuexuan's illness still made the senior brother have to copy books here to make money, in order to fulfill the filial piety of the son of man.
Zhang Yue remembers that there is a popular saying that depends on the level of life, not in the eight hours at work, but in the eight hours after work.
This is true, Guo Lin also had to go home to study after copying books in the library.
You can copy five hours at Nanfeng, and two hours back and forth on the road, what about the rest of the work? Yes, it's okay to sacrifice sleep time to read, but is it really possible? People are not iron.
The senior brother can't hold on anymore, he hasn't studied for almost two months, but learning is like sailing against the current, and if he doesn't advance, he will retreat...... The Nine Classics Department was originally backed by the whole process, and the work of not carrying it for two months was wasted.
Zhang Yue said seriously: "What Senior Brother taught me is that I remembered it. Brother...... Don't get too tired, take care of yourself. ”
Guo Lin nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Senior brother can save it." ”
Although Guo Lin said this, Zhang Yue heard that he had no confidence in himself in his words, how to pick it up when his homework was pulled down?
On this day, I was late again.
The two brothers still carried the torches side by side down the mountain, and the cold wind blew and swayed the torches.
Guo Lin squinted his eyes and looked at the remnant stars in the night sky, and suddenly said, "Senior brother, if the professor really intends to be included in the Zhang clan study, will you go?" ”
Zhang Yue hesitated: "I don't know." ”
Guo Lin smiled and said, "At the beginning, I didn't want you to go to the Zhang clan to study, but after these months, I also want to open it." Look at the remnants of the stars in the sky. ”
Zhang Yue looked at it, but under the night like a deep pool, he could barely see the outline of the distant mountain, and the star bucket was hanging on the distant mountain.
Guo Lin said: "I may not be admitted to the county school in my life, and the county school students are like this remnant star, although it is dim, but it is also hanging in the sky." Not to mention that the moon is unique, like a man. Senior brother, you have entered the family study, if you can worship the professor, you will be sure to be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, such as this star and moon are no longer out of reach. ”
"Senior brother wants to ...... If the senior brother is not sure, why don't you take a look at how high this day is for the senior brother? If you can do it for the stars and the moon! ”
Zhang Yue said: "Senior brother, you think too far, how can the professor have such a meaning." ”
Guo Lin smiled.
The wind blew, and the two brothers tightened their grips on the torches and went down the mountain step by step
At this moment, in the Dayjin Hall, Zhang Heng took Zhang Yue's family form from Zhang Cai's hand and looked at it carefully.
Unexpectedly, this son turned out to be Zhang Xu's younger brother, Zhang Sanlang. This son looks a little like his brother, and I didn't even notice it for a while. ”
At this moment, Lin Xi came here and said: "Ziping, you and I should go to Beijing to take the exam in a few days, if you don't study hard at the moment, can you be a bamboo in your chest?" ”
Zhang Heng quietly put Zhang Yue's family into his sleeve, turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother Zizhong, how can you have the truth, how can you have a good idea of the affairs of the science field." But I don't have a gun to sharpen my gun. ”
Zhang Heng smiled, keeping the cloud light and light.
"Brother Ziping, don't be modest, I heard the disciples of the clan study say that he is the most diligent in his work on weekdays, I am afraid that he will not read during the day, and read until the third watch at night."
Zhang Heng was secretly annoyed, who leaked my details to this person?
The two of them are at the top of the list, and the other is the first in the test, and they are not satisfied with each other, and they have always had the meaning of competing with each other, so it will continue to be the case on their way to Beijing, and continue until the time of the Ministry of Rites' trial list.
Zhang Cai on the side doesn't know why the two always look like thorns in each other's words, but sometimes they seem to be very good friends, and they can only say that in the world of scholars, scumbags don't understand at all.
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Brother Zi came from hearsay, you don't seem to be here to ask for advice, but to find out my news." ”
Lin Xi smiled concealedly: "Brother Ziping, I'm just laughing, look at you as if you are facing a great enemy, but I seem to be really afraid of someone peeping." ”
Zhang Heng also laughed embarrassedly, changed the topic, and said, "Yes, Zizhong will show you something." ”
Zhang Heng took out two pieces of paper and gave them to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was casual at first, took the paper and looked at it, but said colorlessly: "Draw a chessboard and arrow target?" Is anyone really doing that? ”
Zhang Heng laughed in his heart when he heard this, but he was deliberately annoyed on his face: "What do you mean? If you ask me for advice, will I hide it from me? If you don't believe me, forget it, will the professor also trick you? Hmph, spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”
Lin Xi's face turned blue and white for a while, and said: "Brother Ziping, I lost my words, and I hope you don't go to the bottom of your heart." Indeed, I was a little unconvinced that there were people who would go to the trouble of practicing this skill. ”
Lin Xi looked at these two pieces of paper again, although the drawing was not as straight as Zhang Youzhi, but in all fairness, it can be seen that it took a lot of effort. Lin Xi himself couldn't draw this at all.
He couldn't help but say in his heart, Ziping taught him with true learning, but I gave up like a shoe. Now when I see it, I know that it is a frog at the bottom of the well.
