Chapter 12 Song Ti Zi
"The mountain chief said that this bamboo and stone picture was drawn by himself, and no matter how ignorant and confused the students were, they also understood the identity of the mountain chief at the end of this picture." Chu Zhen said respectfully, overjoyed in his heart, he originally thought that the silver-haired old man was just a famous scholar who was invited by the academy to give a lecture, and wanted to say two good words for himself through him, but he didn't expect it to be wrong and caught a big fish.
"It turns out that the problem is here, the old man is confused." He Shi suddenly said with a smile, and he liked Chu Zhi's wit even more.
"Mountain Chief, the student is truly repentant, your Mountain Chief, let the student come back." Chu Zhen seized the opportunity and pleaded.
The old man is still reluctant to let you go, anyway, leave people behind, and there is no need to rush to accept apprentices, just take it slowly, He Shi laughed, ready to nod in agreement, suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking: "Chu Zhen, why did you ask about the painting on the wall for no reason just now?" ”
"Just now, the chief asked the students if they insisted on returning to the academy because they were afraid of hearing gossip, so the students wanted to write a poem on the topic of bamboo and stone to answer the questions of the mountain chief." Chu Zhen said with a smile.
"Monotonous Mingzhi? Let the old man hear it. When He Shi heard this, his interest became even stronger.
"Insist that Qingshan will not relax, the roots are in the broken rocks, and the thousands of blows are still tough, and the wind is blowing from east to west, north and south." In addition to Zheng Banqiao's bamboo and stone poem, Chu Zhen can no longer think of any poem that blends with He Shi's bamboo and stone map, as well as his current situation, the first two sentences are a metaphor for his roots are Baique Academy, and the last two sentences show that he doesn't care about the cynicism of others, and the reason why he wants to return to the academy is actually to find his roots.
"Good! It's rare that you are so hearted, how can the old man let you go home disappointed. He Shi savored it, his eyes became brighter and brighter, fortunately, at the beginning, he had the patience to listen to Chu Qian's explanation, otherwise he almost missed a genius, and at the end He Sheng still sighed in his heart, it seems that he has to go back to the academy often to walk around, otherwise there is something missing in his academy, but because of the lack of Bole's discovery, he has always been unknown.
Thinking of the time when he was taking the school examination just now, because Chu Zhen's answer was decent, he didn't care, and he almost missed Puyu, He Shi secretly reflected, and then he was also a little dissatisfied with the lecturer who managed the academy, and he handed over the academy to them, that was because he believed in them, but they didn't manage it wholeheartedly, how could he be worthy of his trust.
"Thank you, Chief." Chu Zhen was overjoyed, clasped his hands and saluted, and his suspended heart finally landed safely.
"The old man can make an exception for you to come back, but ......." He Shi smiled, and the tail note was long.
"Whatever the mountain chief commands, the students will definitely do." The heart that landed on the ground was hung again, Chu Zhen was serious, and said seriously.
"The old man's bamboo and stone drawings, there are paintings but no poems, since you have made the poems, then you will work hard to hold the pen." The more I read, the more I felt that the poems written by Chu Zhen were endlessly memorable and meaningful, He Shi simply took down the paintings on the wall, put them flat on the bookcase, and motioned Chu Zhen to write poems in the blank space.
"Mountain Chief, the student's words are ugly, I'm afraid that it will insult the painting of the Mountain Chief." Chu Zhen hurriedly excused himself.
Although Chu Zhen is telling the truth, He Shi doesn't think so, bad handwriting is not a problem, as long as you practice hard, it won't be bad, but the talent is different, how many people think hard, stay awake all night, in order to think of a peerless poem, sometimes even at the expense of killing people to take the poem.
Chu Zhi's bamboo and stone poem, although it is not a peerless masterpiece, but compared to other clichés, it is not a star and a half, and it has been Chu Zhen is an apprentice, He Shi naturally has the intention of promoting Chu Qian, and plans to wait for Chu Zhen to write poems on his paintings, together with confident allusions, to show off to his friends in Bianliang City.
You must know that He She's friendship is extremely broad, from the imperial court members to the Confucian scholars of the Hanmen, He She's influence is involved in it, otherwise the White Bird Academy, which has just been established for a few years, will not have so many students come to sign up, and one of the main purposes of the students coming to study is to think that one day, they will be appreciated by He She, and they will be praised in just half a word.
If the students of the academy knew that the opportunity they dreamed of was unintentionally obtained by Chu Zhen, they didn't know what they would do in a hurry, but it was expected that with He Shi's support, Chu Zhen would no longer have to bother thinking about how to become famous in the future.
At He She's insistence, Chu Zhen didn't dare to excuse himself, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, inhaled quietly, gathered his abdomen and concentrated, and brewed for a long time, only then he carefully wrote in the blank space on the bamboo and stone map.
As an employee of a publishing house, he has to deal with literati all year round, so Chu Zhen naturally also studied brush characters for a period of time, and the font he learned was naturally the Song style characters commonly used in publishing.
A poem, from right to left, four lines and twenty-eight characters, if it were on weekdays, Chu Zhi would have taken a few minutes at most to write, but now it took a full fifteen minutes before he gently put down the brush, stepped aside, and took advantage of He She's scrutiny, gently wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and took a few breaths.
"Hey, Chu Zhen, when you painted red, which character's word did you practice?" It is no wonder that He Shi was surprised, although the Song character originated from the regular script of the Tang Dynasty, after hundreds of years of development, it was only formed in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the person who invented this font was the famous traitor Qin Hui.
Qin Hui is erudite, very accomplished in calligraphy, comprehensive predecessors, self-contained, created a font for printing, if according to general habits, this kind of word should be called Qin font, but because his character is too poor, in the struggle against gold, is the representative of the surrender faction, and has killed the national hero Yue Fei father and son on trumped-up charges, becoming a sinner through the ages, so people hate him, although the font he created, but the font was named Songti.
This is more than a hundred years later, He Shi naturally will not know, see the words written by Chu Qian, the strokes are horizontal and vertical, horizontal and vertical, sharp and angular, rigorous structure, neat and even, it seems to be similar to the regular script, but it is different, although the strokes seem to be sluggish and sluggish, but if you look closely, there is a self-contained image, thinking of this, He She's heart moved, could it be that this kid's calligraphy has been completed, and Cai Junmo is the same, self-contained, and the sect has been established?
"The students are learning the European style "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming". Chu Zhen was just about to speak, but suddenly thought that Qin Hui had not yet been born at this time, where did the Song characters come from, so the words were changed when they came to their mouths.
