7. Calligraphy 1,000 characters

As he spoke, Wu Cailuan kicked and quickly kicked Huang Damian's wheat bucket over there, and then prepared to snatch chicken eggs from Auntie's hand.

"Oh, didn't you say a good price? You helped me copy the Buddhist scriptures, and one volume paid six liters of wheat, and these two chicken eggs were given by me to this young bachelor, who worked hard for him to study (copy and learn regular script) with you. Aunt Huang's eyes didn't look good, and she chattered.

Gao Yue immediately understood, you Wu Cailuan, on the surface, asked me to copy Buddhist scriptures and practice Xiaokai, but in fact, he treated me as a free labor to earn the neighbors' remuneration for writing scriptures! I did my best, but she came to get paid, and she used my words to confuse her, which was simply unprofessional.

"Huang Damiang, you see, this volume of Buddhist scriptures is copied, not to mention that the proofreading is not fine, and the calligraphy is still crude......" Gao Yue took the opportunity to unfold the Buddhist scriptures he copied and put them in front of Huang Damiang's eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Wu Cailuan was really anxious.

"Bachelor, I can't read or write, old woman!" Mrs. Huang blinked painfully at the Buddhist scriptures, and it seemed that she didn't recognize half of the words at all, let alone distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of calligraphy.

"Stop, Gao Yue - then, the chicken eggs will be given to you!" Finally, Wu Cailuan compromised for fear of revealing the stuffing.

After Aunt Huang left, Wu Cailuan was so angry that she was smoking, pointed at him and said, "Gao Yue, do you think you don't need a lot of money to practice regular script paper and ink?" ”

"But you can't take the fruits of my labor in a grand manner." Gao Yue did not relent.

Wu Cailuan opened his mouth wide in surprise and annoyance, and he was about to pour another Tang chicken soup for Gao Yue, "Have you heard that Di Renjie Xiangguo used acupuncture to save people when he was young, but he was unwilling to accept the reward?" You're a great student......"

Gao Yue hurriedly shook his hand, and then plugged his fingers on both ears, meaning that he didn't listen to or listen to Wang Ba's recitation.

Wu Cailuan spread out his hands and said Forget it, the regular scripture copying work will not let you do it, and soon you will bring back these six liters of wheat if you want to bring them back to the country. In the future, there are only three kinds of work for you to help me deal with, one is calligraphy, the second is to help the female donor copy scattered Buddhist scriptures, and the third is the contract documents for neighbors to borrow money and form associations.

Obviously, those who come to the door for these three things are illiterate, and it is a normal choice to let Gao Yue deal with it and practice regular script by the way.

In short, when he met a master like Wu Cailuan, he could only grow savagely on his own.

Seeing that Gao Yue did not categorically veto, Wu Cailuan's tone also relaxed, "It's almost dusk soon, let's eat in the scripture writing workshop, and I'll give you a few good things by the way." ”

Approaching the end of Shenshi, the spring sunshine in Chang'an has been very warm in the small courtyard of the scripture writing workshop, in a small hugging building outside the courtyard, Gao Yue stood at the door, holding the chicken eggs sent by Huang Damiang in his hand - it has been steamed by Wu Cailuan, knock on a small mouth, Gao Yue reached in with a small spoon and scooped it up.

Wu Cailuan slapped his hands and pointed to the bookshelf in the small hug building, which meant that all the good things were inside.

Then she took out two scrolls, and signed one with the words "The Complete Book of the Tang Dynasty", and the other with "Zhiyong Zen Master Thousand Character Text", and handed them to Gao Yue.

"That, Wang Xizhi's true works have long been collected in the palace, and the folk practice Zhiyong's thousand-character text, you can practice while watching; And this book of Tang Ji Ji is a real treasure, originally hidden in the government and the scholar's house is not passed on, I coincidentally copied and treasured. ”

Gao Yue took it, only to see that the thick scroll was full of leaves (similar to bookmarks), and counted thirty pieces, which were written "Chronology and Ordinary Rules", "Festival Rewards", "Colorful Notes", etc., as well as "Four Seas Ji Shu", "Women's Ji Shu", "All Colors of Ritual Texts", etc., "Officialdom, family, friends, monks, and scholars are all covered, how is it interesting?" In the future, Gao Langjun, you can use it for the rest of your life. ”

Wu Cailuan is actually right, Gao Yue's thirty flowers are worth it - the so-called calligraphy is the letter norms of scholars, officials and people, these are too important for Gao Yue, who has just stepped into the Tang Dynasty society, as Wu Cailuan said, can be used for a lifetime.

"Thank you, alchemist!" Gao Yue put down the chicken eggs and smiled happily.

Wu Cailuan hummed, and then asked in a sly tone, Then the refiner I want to copy the scriptures of Shengye Temple, and the three miscellaneous things Gao Langjun is willing to do it for me?

"Of course I do." At this time, Gao Yue agreed very simply, "I just don't know if the refiner can tell the late life when this calligraphy can be completed?" ”

Wu Cailuan's expression became serious, she took out the copied Buddhist scriptures from the bookshelf, and saw that it was the "Wonderful Book Lotus Sutra", and turned to the end of the question, with the names of the characters written on the lines above, and the names of the scribes, decorators, junior schools, re-schools, three schools, detailed reading, and supervising producers were clearly written on it, among which the name of the copyist was "Zhongling Jingsheng Wu Cailuan".

"When your name can be written on it with a clear conscience, it is when Lang Jun is still working."

Soon, Gao Yue played a role in the calligraphy given by Wu Cailuan.

In the past few days, he returned to the country in the evening to help some female donors copy Buddhist scriptures, in the morning he practiced calligraphy on the "Zhiyong Thousand Character Text", and in the afternoon he sat in the courtyard of the scripture writing workshop, and wanted to write calligraphy for the neighbors for free, so the residents of the surrounding squares came to the door in an endless stream to ask for help.

"Bachelor, I have a friend who has a letter from far away, you can help me take a look, and by the way, I will reply to the book for me." Mr. Xu of Shengye Fang brought a basket of flax cakes.

"No problem, it's February, huh...... Good Lat! As he spoke, Gao Yue took out a piece of paper, skillfully marked a line of "black silk fence" on it with a lead stone, and then picked up a pen and wrote:

"My friend so-and-so

The reply said:

The twilight of the year is coming to an end, the green sun should be in season, and the wind is moving, and the scenery is bright. With green willows and soothing scales, low peaches and green, I want to swim and edge the ground; From appreciating the guests, drinking the pillars to declaring the heart, playing the piano book and writing the chronicles. Every time you read it, there is no reason for the gathering, and I would like to send a few lines, and I hope to write a word.

Friends Xu Qi

Looking at the sun in February of the twelfth year of the Great Calendar"

Next came a woman wearing a hood and veil, carrying half a basket of chicken eggs, saying that her husband had been away for three years, and had written to her before, but she could not read, and asked the bachelor to reply to her.

"No problem!" Gao Yue picked up the pen again and wrote, "After saying goodbye, the road is long, and the concubine is worried, and she is described as haggard. When I go, the clouds are not many days, who wants to say goodbye, spring and autumn three years. Weng Po is old and safe. The size of the house, and the ...... of the ordinary"

"Tell my husband that he added a boy last year." The woman added with a smile on her face.

"Okay." Gao Yue didn't have time to think about it, so he was ready to add some auspicious words to the noble son on top of the book, but soon, "Huh? Who wants to say goodbye, spring and autumn three years", and then why did it "add Ding" last year......

So I could only bite the bullet and make up a few sentences randomly: "The husband has a dream, the concubine has a response, the year before last, he fell into a plate, suddenly felt pregnant, and landed into a lin, and he was very happy".
