Chapter 497: Showing Off Your Skills (I)

Chenlou is the usual gathering place of the Pan family, the children and grandchildren of the three Pan Xu brothers plus their daughters and sons-in-law, a big family has at least 100 people, every party is an extremely lively thing, and there will be various activities to help the fun.

Today is the same, in the second floor of the Chen Tower, gathered nearly two hundred young men and women, the second floor is also extremely spacious, all kinds of indoor amusement are available, guessing puzzles, chess, kicking shuttlecock, throwing pots, batting, fighting crickets, but the most popular is still throwing pots, there are three places in the crowd of people just throwing pots, and there are constantly regretful exclamations and cheers.

At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly saw a familiar shadow, his heart was hot, and he didn't care about looking for a high pet, so he walked over quickly.

"Yun Niang, go see me throwing pots! Today I can at least shoot eight out of ten. ”

"Yun Niang, don't pay attention to this stinky boy, let's play chess."

Cao Yun was sitting at a table writing, but she was surrounded by a pair of twin brothers of the Pan family, constantly flattering her, Cao Yun had a faint smile on her face, never looked up, and was engrossed in writing a word.

"Forget it, let's go pitch the pot!"

The Pan brothers didn't get a response from Cao Yun, and they also found it boring, so the two turned around and walked towards a pot throwing place, which was very lively and had a huge attraction for young people.

"Just now, the two little guys really couldn't speak, you were obviously writing, but they told you to go and play chess."

Cao Yun suddenly heard a familiar voice, and as soon as she raised her head, her face couldn't help but blush slightly, "It turned out to be Brother Li!" ”

Li Yanqing pulled a chair and sat down at the small table, and asked with a smile: "It's very noisy here, you can actually calm down and write." ”

Cao Yun's face turned even redder, "I.... I'm helping the young lady write riddles, and she's in charge of the riddle club today. ”

"I love riddles too!"

Li Yanqing looked at the riddle she wrote, "There is a fish in the East China Sea, without a head and a tail, except for the backbone, it is this riddle." 'Type

"Can Brother Li guess what this word is?" Cao Yun asked with a light smile.

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Let me think about it, first of all, this is a thing in the East China Sea, not in the South China Sea and Beihai, and secondly, it is a fish without a head and tail. ”

Cao Yun knew that he had guessed, so he smiled slightly: "If you guess correctly, there will be a reward!" Isn't Brother Li interested? ”

"I'm a little embarrassed about this award, so let's redeem it for those kids!" Li Yanqing looked at a group of little ladies who were guessing riddles and smiled.

"By the way, what about Jiaojiao?" Li Yanqing suddenly remembered Jiaojiao.

"She may not be able to come today, there is a female cat about to give birth, and she has to accompany her."

"I said why it seems to be a little quieter today, it turns out that Jiaojiao didn't come."

"Didn't Brother Li say that he wanted to teach me calligraphy?" Cao Yun lowered his head and whispered.

"Of course you can, but it's not too noisy here."

"It's okay, just teach me to write a few words first, and dial it a little."

Li Yanqing nodded, "Then write 'There is a fish in the East China Sea, without a head and a tail.'" ’”

Cao Yun picked up the pen and wrote carefully on the red paper, Li Yanqing had already seen the deficiencies in her words, although the words were written very beautifully, but at a glance, they knew that it was the penmanship taught in the school, just like a product on the assembly line, not to mention calligraphy.

"Does Yun Niang have a copy of the copybook?"

"I have copied the Wei Monument, but I prefer the line."

Cao Yun quickly finished writing ten words, and looked at Li Yanqing with expectations, hoping that he could evaluate it, Li Yanqing smiled: "I also write ten words, you compare." ”

Li Yanqing also wrote the same ten words with a pen, putting the two banners together, Cao Yun was a little embarrassed and said: "My handwriting is not good, I can't compare with you!" ”

"Isn't it better than anyone else's writing, feel it yourself, and see what are the shortcomings?"

Cao Yun looked at it for a moment and said: "I feel that your words are more skillful, more vigorous and powerful, more coherent between words, and very imposing, my words are too pale." ”

Cao Yun looked up at Li Yanqing again, "Am I right?" ”

"That's pretty much the truth, in fact, the gap lies in time, I spent a lot of time practicing words, persisted for almost ten years, your words are elegant and elegant, in the eyes of ordinary people are already very good, but from the point of view of calligraphy, the foundation is not solid enough, the structure is relatively loose, this is the typical performance of insufficient practice, in fact, you don't need to spend too much time, you just need to take an hour every day to copy Liu Gongquan's regular script, after a year of practice, you write these ten words, you will find changes."

Li Yanqing's words were very straightforward, which could be described as hitting the nail on the head, Cao Yun nodded silently, in fact, she also knew her own problem, that is, she spent too much time reading books and too little time practicing calligraphy.

"Am I going too far?" Li Yanqing said apologetically.

"Not at all!"

Cao Yun hurriedly shook his head, "On the contrary, my little sister would like to thank Brother Li for his good words, I know how to practice calligraphy, it just so happens that I also have Liu Gongquan's calligraphy, I will find it out tonight." ”

As she spoke, Cao Yun carefully folded the two characters and put them in her small bag, and she was going to wait a year before taking them out for comparison.

"Yun Niang, come on!"

Cao Yunxing rushed over, pulled Cao Yun and left, "The jackpot is out, it seems to be the painting you want the most!" ”

"Ahh As soon as Cao Yun turned around and saw Li Yanqing, she couldn't help but be startled, she suddenly understood something, and said with a smile: "Am I bothering something?" ”

Cao Yun's face flushed, "What nonsense is the dead girl talking about, I'm writing riddles for the young lady." ”

She couldn't sit down a little, put down the pen and said, "There's nothing to write about, I'll go and see with you." ”

"Brother Li, thank you for your advice."

Cao Yun didn't dare to look at Li Yanqing, so she hurried away with her head down, and faintly heard Cao Yun teasing her, "Yo! It's actually called Brother Li, isn't it called Li Guanren? ”

"You dead girl, see if I don't screw your mouth, am I screaming at Jiaojiao?"

........

Pitching pot is also called Wen Shot, it is the most popular game of the official family since the Tang and Song dynasties, suitable for both young and old, and does not occupy space, so it has been prosperous for a long time, and even in the army, it is one of the subjects that archers must practice.

Today, there are three pitchers in the lobby on the second floor, one is a close-range shot from a distance of seven feet, which is projected and played by a young lady, one is a medium-shot shot from a distance of five feet and five feet, both men and women can be projected, and one is a long-range shot from a distance of three feet, which is for the young people with strong martial arts in the children of the family.

The Pan family also made a bloody investment today, and the prizes alone cost thousands of yuan, of course, the prizes for the three pitchers are not the same, and the prizes for the little ladies are much simpler, mainly based on small handicrafts with exquisite workmanship, and one or two dollars can buy one.

The prizes for medium shots are much more expensive, mostly gold and silver jewelry worth more than a dozen dollars, while the prizes for long shots are weapons worth dozens of dollars.

In addition, there is a jackpot, the jackpot has just been put out, attracting everyone's attention, the close-range jackpot is a thumb-sized pearl, worth 100 guan money, shining in the light, and the long-shot jackpot is a sword worth 800 yuan, which is personally created by Liu Kang, the first craftsman of the current ordnance superintendent.

Li Yanqing saw the jackpot of the shot, and it turned out to be a painting, "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", of course, it can't be a genuine work, but a copy, but the painter startled Li Yanqing, it was actually Zhang Zeduan of the painting academy, he was the author of "Qingming Riverside Picture".

Zhang Zeduan is currently serving as the edict of Hanlin, more than 20 years ago he was the worship of the Hanlin Painting Academy, in the famous Hanlin Painting Academy, he can only be regarded as a painter of medium status, good at buildings, houses, forests, figures, "Qingming Riverside Picture" is one of his masterpieces.

Of course, as a professional sixtieth year, he can't paint only one painting, and not every painting can be included in the court, most of them are collected by various powerful people, and the Pan family also collects several of his paintings, because this painting is a copy, so today Pan Xu took it out as a jackpot prize.

Although the jackpot prizes are very attractive, it is not easy to get it, the condition must be five shots, and if there are several jackpots, the Pan family will also come up with the corresponding prizes.

Li Yanqing saw that there was a sign on the chest of each projector, with different colors, the close-range shot was a white brand, the mid-shot was a green brand, and the long-range shot was a red brand, and it should be necessary to sign up to participate in the competition.

He looked to both sides, only to find that there was a pot pitcher registration office against the wall, and he stepped forward and smiled: "I want to participate in pot shooting too!" ”

The steward didn't know him, thinking that he was just an ordinary child of a family, so he pointed to the list on the wall and smiled: "Is the official's name on it?" ”

There are more than twenty names on the list, they should all be young men, Gao Chong, Cao Xing, and Pan Yucheng are among them, but there is no name on him, Li Yanqing shook his head, "There is no my name!" ”

"Which one is the official going to participate in? First of all, if you choose a long shot, you can't participate in the shot, but if you choose the shot, and the score can reach more than five shots, you can also participate in the long shot, which is the rule. ”

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said, "Then let's get shot!" ”

The steward gave him a green wooden plaque to hang on his chest, and Li Yanqing pointed to the list on the wall and asked with a smile, "What's going on with this list?" ”

"These guys are too powerful, they are all masters of pitching, so they are not allowed to participate in the shot, they can only participate in the long shot, otherwise the prize for the shot will not be everyone's share."

Li Yanqing smiled, it's really strange, there is no name on it?
