Chapter 28: Parting
Liu Yiyi looked at the four onlookers, smiled confidently, picked up a pen and splashed ink, and wrote a couplet on the red rice paper.
The upper link is: three feet square, three inches, three inches, three inches, three inches, three thousand peaches and plums
The next link is: ten years of trees, ten years of wind, ten years of rain, 100,000 beams
The font is bold and powerful, and the paper is divided into three points. The calligraphy that I had been practicing hard in the grid book for hours finally came in handy today.
Putting the pen down, Liu Yiyi looked at Li Ruyi and said, "Li Gongzi, what do you think of my couplet?" What's wrong? ”
Li Ruyi seemed to hear Liu Yiyi's question, and only after a long time did he take his eyes off the rice paper, looked at Liu Yiyi and said, "Brother Liu is talented, little brother is impressed!" In three or two strokes, the teacher's hard work and merits are all written, which can be called absolute. After speaking, he pointed to the handwriting on the rice paper and said: "But compared with this couplet, the younger brother is even more impressed by Brother Liu's calligraphy." The words of Brother Liu, with the roots and bones of regular script, the firmament of European body, and the elegance of Wang Youjun, are not the same as them. The glyph is square, angular and angular, neat and even, and the view is clear and clear without losing its charm. It seems to be a new font, I don't know which calligrapher Brother Liu inherited? There is a chance for Xiaosheng to visit one or two now. ”
"Uh..." Liu Yiyi was stunned, looked at the font on the paper, and suddenly it seemed that the words he wrote were Song characters. And now it's the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty seems to be far away.
Seeing that the four of them were all looking at him with blank eyes, Liu Yiyi thought of Qin Hui, the original founder of Song Tizi, and started his piracy career without a little psychological burden. "Brother Li has won the award, isn't this font created by the little brother when he was playing for a while, and he deserves such praise from Brother Li."
"Huh?!" All four of them were taken aback, and when they looked at the man in front of them, who was dressed in a rough shirt and did not look amazing, and called himself a farmer, it was hard to believe that he could have such an amazing achievement in calligraphy. Self-innovative fonts, that can be compared to the three major contemporary calligraphy masters.
"I didn't expect Brother Liu to not only be outstanding in writing, but also so amazing in calligraphy. The little brother was really rude just now. Li Ru seemed to bend over and saluted the willow. Liu Yiyi could see that Li Ruxiang's gift was not the previous politeness, but from the heart.
"I was offended a lot just now, please don't blame Mr. The boy is here to compensate you. Li Ru's scholarly servant also came out to make amends to Liu Yiyi. The expression on his face was sincere.
Huang Zichu and his buddy Xiao Wu also followed to salute Liu Yiyi. Didn't they create a new font that made Liu Yi dizzy, how could they suddenly become so respectful of him?
Liu Yiyi was not used to this, and waved his hand again and again: "You don't have to be like this, one is just a farmer's ear, and you don't deserve such courtesy." He turned to look at Li Ruxiang and said, "Since Brother Li can see Liu's calligraphy, how about Liu write a picture for you?" Well, just write the one that Brother Li mentioned just now, okay? ”
"Therefore, I dare not ask for ears!" Li Ruru seemed to be overjoyed, and bowed down to thank him.
"Well, Mr. Liu, I wonder if you can write a copy for the shop?" Huang Zichu couldn't help but ask for it on the side. Afraid that Liu Yiyi would not agree, he chased after him: "Huang is willing to give ten silver coins as a pen." ”
As soon as the words came out, Huang Zichu regretted it, not for the ten yuan, but for the fear that it would lose Liu Yiyi's face. How could anyone ask for a word in front of the grandmaster? Isn't this a brick in the face of the human grandmaster?
Li Ru also glared at him unpleasantly, with a very disdainful expression, as if he smelled an unpleasant copper smell on Huang Zichu's body.
"Oh? Boss Huang looks up to Liu so much? Then it's going to cost Boss Huang, I don't know what Boss Huang wants to write? Yanagichichi naturally took the order. Ten yuan is comparable to five cows for him.
"Huh? ...”
He agreed?! The expression on Huang Zichu's face was surprise, while Li Ruxiang and his scholar were wrong.
How could he say yes? How could he sell himself for a few dollars? Looking at Liu Yiyi's coarse cloth clothes and the basket that was almost full of garlic New Year's goods, Li Ruyi seemed to quickly find a very reasonable reason for Liu Yiyi, maybe it was because the family was too sad, after all, the grandmaster was also a human being, and he also had to eat grains and grains to survive.
He was a poor guru. Almost everyone present thought so. But I didn't know that Liu Yiyi was not only not poor, but also found a way to make a fortune.
"You can help me write out the one you just put up." Huang Zichu hurriedly put forward his request, for fear that Liu Yiyi would regret it again.
"Well, yes, wait until I write Brother Li's couplet first." Liu Yiyi nodded in response. handed over the written couplet to Xiao Wu to paste, and began to write for Li Ruxiang again.
The gourd at the top of the tower, the sharp fist beats the day;
The arrows at the head of the city are stacked, and the teeth are upside down to bite the sky.
Twenty-two words, battle, neat, written by Liu Yiyi in Song style, is even more imposing.
Li Ru seemed to nod his head with the children's calligrapher, and the font created by Liu Yiyi seemed to be more suitable for written expression than the italics used today.
Liu Yiyi dried the ink on the couplet, handed it to Li Ruyi, and said, "What do you think, Brother Li, can you still get into the eyes of the law?" ”
"Good! Thank you Brother Liu for giving me the Mobao, and the younger brother is grateful. Li Ru said: "Why don't the younger brother be like Boss Huang and pay ten yuan together." ”
"Eh~, Brother Li, it doesn't have to be like this." Liu Yiyi waved his hand to stop: "I am a favor for you, and Boss Huang is a business, the two cannot be confused." Although I am poor, I am not greedy for money. Brother Li, don't look down on me like this. ”
Sure enough, he was a poor man.
"It's a little brother who is not thinking about it, please don't blame Brother Liu." Li Ru seemed to give up his hand, and then took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Liu Yiyi and said: "The little brother and Brother Liu are like each other at first sight today, when will I not have time, I am afraid that I can no longer talk to Brother Liu, this jade pendant was given by my father before, and it is now given to Brother Liu to commemorate." Brother Wangliu must not refuse. ”
Parting gifts are very long-term, and classmates often give each other something during school holidays or graduation. So Liu Yiyi accepted the jade pendant without thinking about it. I didn't notice the surprised expression on the scholar's face when Li Ru seemed to be about to give away the jade pendant.
"Brother Li, are you leaving?" Liu Yiyi suddenly felt a little reluctant. Although this white-faced scholar looks like he is very unconfident, he is very temperamental when he talks about it, and he really doesn't want him to leave so soon.
"If you're not in a hurry, why don't you come to my house and have a few drinks before leaving." Liu Yiyi said with a word.
Li Ruxiang said: "Thank you Brother Liu for your kindness, but the younger brother is still in a hurry, and he can't be compensated." If you have a fate, you and I will talk about it next time. The younger brother took his leave first. ”
Liu Yiyi arched his hand and said, "In this way, Brother Li walks slowly." I wish my brother a smooth journey. ”
Seeing Li Ruyi's master and servant go out of the store, Liu Yiyi remembered that he hadn't asked Li Ruyi where he was from. Hurriedly chased out the door, but there was no trace outside the door. Remembering that Huang Zichu might recognize their master and servant, he asked him.
Huang Zichu replied: "Those two little brothers are very tight, and it is the first time they have come to the shop. However, judging from their clothes and accents, they should not be locals, but seem to have come from the direction of the capital Chang'an. Mr. Liu will find them in the future, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. ”
