At dawn, a few shrill rooster crows shattered people's dreams. Yun Qian lazily writhed on the bed for a while, rolled along the edge of the bed to the cold floor, and suddenly woke up a little. It was already late when he returned to the restaurant last night, and it was really not good to fall asleep and be woken up again.

In order to welcome the arrival of the county lord, everyone in Yanyulou was busy arranging with excitement, and even the proprietress who had always been lazy was also sleepy-eyed and haunted around the building with her small waist in her eyes, occasionally pointing fingers.

"Yun Qian, what are you doing idly in the front hall, why don't you go to the back kitchen to help?" The proprietress quickly discovered that Yun Qian was not at her post.

"Go now, go right away." Yun Qian's mouth coped, and his eyes always glanced at the door. He was worried that if the little ancestor suddenly broke in recklessly, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't provoke any moths.

"Yun Qian! Why are you still here! The proprietress was furious, and she came back from a circle and saw that delicate and nasty face.

Yun Qian's eyes flickered, he pulled Zheng Youde over, and said weakly: "It was Brother Zheng who said that there were too many things to be arranged in the front hall, and he couldn't be busy so he asked me to help." ”

"Oh? Is it? ”

Zheng Youde felt Yun Qian and Lijiu's eyes full of "kindness" at the same time, and he was speechless trembling.

"Why don't you go to the back kitchen! Don't let me catch you being lazy again——!"

"You woman is so spicy!" Before Li Jiu's words fell, he was interrupted by a crisp voice.

Yun Qian complained bitterly in his heart, and sure enough, he still came.

In the front hall of the Yanyu Building, everyone looked at a little girl in a pale pink skirt in front of them who jumped up and ran in front of Yun Qian, and shouted affectionately: "Cousin! I miss you! ”

Liu Mingxiang combed her well-behaved Qi bangs today, her little face was a little fleshy, and her little nose was also flattened. At first glance, she looks like an ordinary girl next door, which is very different from her original coquettish and eccentric appearance. The disguise technique is good, but unfortunately the temperament still can't be changed, Yun Qian reluctantly touched Liu Mingxiang's head.

Li Jiu held back his anger, and his voice trembled a little and asked, "Yun Qian...?" Don't you explain? ”

Liu Mingxiang listened to Lijiu's unkind tone, and turned around to block in front of Yun Qian. She looked at the delicate figure of the woman in front of her, graceful and graceful, she couldn't help but straighten her small chest, pursed her small mouth and said, "I'm coming to find my cousin, what's the matter with you!" ”

Yun Qian saw that the atmosphere was not good, so he quickly dragged Liu Mingxiang away, walked to Lijiu and said with a smile and whispered: "It's hard to explain this matter, I'll explain it to you later." ”

"You'd better explain it clearly! The guests will be here soon, and I won't be allowed to make any mistakes. Li Jiu glared at Yun Qian fiercely, then swept Liu Mingxiang contemptuously, and left gracefully.

Liu Mingxiang is a demon girl who is feared by everyone in the rivers and lakes, where has she been wronged like this, and a pair of ruthless and soft hands are ready to move. Yun Qianyan quickly grabbed her wrist and said angrily, "You forgot what you promised me before? Any more foolery will kick you out. ”

"It's her who bullies people..."Liu Mingxiang saw that Yun Qian was angry and immediately wilted, and tears rubbed against Yun Qian's chest.

"Alright, alright, you go to my room first. When there are more guests who come later, you go out quietly. No one should notice your presence that way. Yun Qian gently took Liu Mingxiang and said.

"This is your room. Oh, it's a mess. I'll clean it up for you. In the room, Liu Mingxiang was curiously rummaging around in the name of helping Yun Qian clean up.

"Don't move." Yun Qian knocked her.

"Stingy, don't move, don't move." Liu Mingxiang was aggrieved, but she sat down obediently.

Yun Qian didn't have anything to do with her, and Wen Yan said, "Are you hungry?" I'm going to give you some snacks. ”

"Yay! I'm going to eat what you made. Liu Mingxiang clapped her little hands happily.

"I'm not going to do it." Yun Qian said angrily.

After a while, after Yun Qian put the refreshments away, he explained again before leaving: "I don't have time to care about you for a while, don't make trouble obediently, you know?" ”

"Uh-huh, promise to be good." Liu Ming replied sweetly.

"If I'm bored, can I go to the back kitchen and play with you?"

"I can't." Yun Qian hurriedly closed the door and fled.

Today, the sun is still shining. On the bank of the Qinhuai River, the weeping willows are like waterfalls, and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating, but today there is a lack of the tactful chanting of the servants in front of the Yanyu Building. The already small river was covered with warships of the forbidden army of the Imperial City, and the streets in front of the Yanyu Building were blocked by armor for ten miles. The prince and the county lord of the country were both attacked earlier, and the royal court guards were scolded by the king of Wei and the prime minister one after another within a month, and they almost lost their official hats. Lord Tutong was very careful, because he knew that this Jinling City was not as prosperous and peaceful as it seemed.

The convoy approached slowly, and dozens of luxurious carriages lined up in a long line, occupying all the roads they passed. The people along the way did not feel any resentment, and it was a great honor for them to see these big people traveling. Jinling City, under the protection of the former Duke of Wei and now under the protection of King Wei, has not experienced looting and slaughter for hundreds of years. The residents of the city live a stable and prosperous life, and they also have a certain affection and respect for the royal family.

Under the guidance of a team of gold-armored iron horsemen, the two carriages that followed were particularly eye-catching. The first car was pulled by four black horses, the carriage was wide and heavy, with black and gold carved flow patterns, majestic and proud. The next car was pulled by four pure white snow-white BMWs, the carriage was more rounded and delicate, carved with white jade, and hundreds of flowers were woven into chains. The two carriages led the way, and the rest of the expensive carriages were overshadowed.

Yun Qian stood at the door and raised his eyebrows disapprerovingly, and then stopped watching the excitement with everyone, and quietly slipped back to the back kitchen, only to find that Liu Qishou didn't look at the excitement, but was carefully grinding something.

"Hey, Lao Liu, what are you doing?" Yun Qianmao walked behind Liu Qishou with footsteps and shouted.

Liu Qishou was startled, and almost spilled the white powder in the mortar.

"Stinky boy, surprised!" Liu Qishou scolded.

"What's this good thing for you?" Yun Qian leaned over curiously.

Liu Qi's hand tilted his head, and said with a dry smile: "This is the secret recipe for seasoning prepared by the old man, adding some to the dish can improve the flavor a lot." “

"And this good stuff, let me taste it." Yun Qian was just about to stretch out his hand when Liu Qishou hit him back.

Liu Qi's eyebrows were raised, and he said sternly: "This thing is very precious, don't touch it." It'll be gone for a while. “

"Oh," Yun shallow walked away.

Liu Qishou was silent for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "Brother Yunqian, don't be angry. The old man will cook a table of good dishes for you to eat another day, but today there are distinguished guests, and the proprietress has repeatedly instructed you not to steal food, otherwise you will deduct the old man's wine money. Ahem. “

Yun Qian didn't think too much about it, and the ensuing busyness made him quickly forget about it.

Su Yuening got out of the car with the help of the maid. Today she was wearing a purple gauze dress, and the long skirt required two little maids to follow closely to sort it out. A thin veil covers most of her face, but it can also vaguely outline the straight bridge of the nose and the pointed chin. The jade neck is like snow, the beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, and Lijiu can't help but show an obsessed look as a woman. Jiang Pingxuan, the son of the Wei Dynasty on the side, was also a handsome young man, but at this time, he couldn't attract the attention of half of the girl Huaichun, and he couldn't help but be a little depressed. For so many years, as long as he appears with this righteous sister, his light will dim instantly.

"Guys, let's go inside." Jiang Pingxuan was no longer entangled, showing the bearing that a son should have.

"Greetings, Lord of the County."

Jiang Pingxuan and Su Yuening entered the building surrounded by hundreds of talents. On the wall of the front hall hung a three-zhang long recipe, which was dressed in a masterpiece of calligraphy.

"Brother Wang, look, this is the handiwork of that person." Su Yuening said to Jiang Pingxuan with a smile.

"This kind of gesture has the posture of a dragon and a snake, and it means that it has the bosom of a deep valley, absolutely amazing, wonderful!" Jiang Pingxuan came to a conclusion after looking at it seriously.

The prince of the world has said so, and all the talented people want to eagerly echo and unify. In order to make a good impression on the prince and the county lord, it is inevitable to use some obscure words to pile up a seemingly profound argument when appraising. Zheng Youde pricked up his ears and was stunned for a moment, and admired these nobles even more. Li Jiu shook his head secretly, and he senselessly hid back in the room to make up for sleepiness.

"I wonder what Yue Ning thinks of this character?" Jiang Pingxuan himself couldn't listen to it anymore, and turned to ask Su Yuening, who had not spoken.

Feeling that all the attention was turned to herself, Su Yuening was not stage frightened, and said with a confident smile: "As Brother Wang and you said, this painting is really a rare masterpiece. Looking at its shape, it will know its meaning, there are thousands of wonderful, but, in the humble opinion of the moon, this word is a little less divine. ”

Su Yuening paused for a moment when everyone was surprised, and steadily controlled her posture. She took two steps forward, turned to face everyone, and continued: "The god is the soul of the calligraphers. It's a one-of-a-kind temperament. For example, the former dynasty calligrapher Zhang Xuzhi, a pair of "Hundred Birds" has the charm of a hundred birds and a phoenix. This kind of charm was realized by him living alone in the mountains and forests for decades with hundreds of birds. is more like Yan Liuyue, the first calligrapher in the world, who is addicted to alcohol, so whether it is wild grass or calligraphy, there is a transcendent drunkenness and freedom between the lines. ”

The talents in the Yanyu Building were quiet at this time, and they listened like students.

There was another small pause, and Su Yuening said unhurriedly: "But this recipe, please taste it carefully, whether it reveals a trace of sloppiness while being both good in shape and meaning." Yue Ning was not talented, and after thinking about it, she found the crux of it. There is no doubt that this author is a good calligrapher, with many years of practice of calligraphy, and the control of form and meaning is very good, but this author's calligraphy seems to be through blind imitation. ”

"Ahh You must know that if you just copy the font of the famous master, even if it is written well, it is definitely not worthy of everyone's honorific title, but the talents here are not wine bags and rice bags, for most of the famous penmanship, they are more or less copied, and the word in front of them makes it difficult for them to find the matching penmanship in their memory.

Su Yuening seemed to be able to read what everyone was thinking, and gently shook her head and explained: "This word is not simply copied. Each of his characters incorporates the characteristics of several calligraphers. Like this one 'flow' character, one is Bai Xinyu's wind falling, the third point is Han Feng's freeze frame, and the other hook is Yan Liuyue's drunken book. Yue Ning is only a shallow learner, and he can't point out every stroke of every word, but you all started to practice words from copying, so you might as well use the method that Yue Ning said to disassemble it to see if this is the case. ”

As soon as the talents clicked, they immediately discovered the mystery inside, and couldn't help but start whispering.

Su Yuening changed her words again: "Although there are shadows of other famous artists in this word, Yuening thinks that the author of this character is still a master." Dismantling the brushwork of different masters and turning it into their own style has long been out of the ordinary category of copying. Although writing in this way is opportunistic, Yue Ning asked herself, and she couldn't integrate the shape and meaning of the word into such a clever realm. This word is still a miracle, and Yue Ning still admires that calligrapher. “

Everyone nodded yes, and they didn't know how much higher than their realm to be able to write such a picture. Of course, Su Yuning at this time was even more radiant. This refutation quoted from the classics, taking into account the reasonableness, not blindly scathing belittlement, and Jiang Pingxuan couldn't help but respect Su Yuening's talent and demeanor.

If Yun Qian listened to what he said here, he would definitely be very surprised that Su Yuening could see through her bottom line just by a pair of words. Of course, he would never have thought that he would write casually according to his usual penchant for practicing calligraphy, which would cause the shock of most of the patriotic literary circles.
