Chapter 260: The Finishing Touch
Chapter 260 Finishing Touch
Zhou Ning's son was deaf, and he couldn't hear what the people below were talking about him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info at this time he must be calm and calm, never distracted.
When writing, the mind must be quiet, and it is best to be quiet to the state where things and self are forgotten. The body and mind are completely immersed in the world of calligraphy, seemingly casual swaying, and every Chinese character between the pen and the dragon and snake is full of vigorous spirit.
None of the hundreds of people in the East Flower Hall were sitting, all of them stood up, some came to the edge of the high platform to watch, and some stood on tiptoe behind and craned their long necks to watch.
Everyone present is the best of the best, and everyone is the best of the best, but who has ever seen a master writing on two scrolls with both hands at the same time?
If it is easier for the same scroll, there is a slight difference in the position of the two scrolls and the tightness of the stretching.
These small differences are no small obstacle to writing, and the more connoisseurs know how difficult it is.
"Look what he writes."
"What a word, it's really a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing."
“……”
All kinds of admiration were endless, and the smile on the corner of Lin Mingde's mouth became deeper and deeper, as if he was praising his prospective son-in-law, he almost forgot that the matter of choosing a son-in-law for his daughter had not yet been decided.
"It's just that I can't see what is written, I can't read the east word and the west word, it's hard to see how he can write it."
"Don't say that it is a temporary work, even if I memorize the couplet, I can't write the upper and lower couplets at the same time."
“……”
Some people are surprised and some people vomit acid, seeing Zhou Ning writing down like a cloud, it is inevitable that there is some jealousy in his heart.
"Although the skill is wonderful, the person is frivolous. The inscription is just an inscription, and it is a bit of a disadvantage to show off in public. ”
"It makes sense, it makes sense."
“……”
Zhou Ning is indeed suspected of being a showman, or he is simply a pure showman. As the saying goes, good steel should be made to the blade, what is the use of powder not rubbing on the face?
Who doesn't want to show off? The point is that there is no pretense. Xiangye gave everyone an equal chance, if they could write an inscription that satisfied Xiangye, would Zhou Ning still have a chance to show off?
What official doesn't want to be promoted? You are so talented that you let Xiangye know, what's the use of knowing it yourself? After ten years of cold windows, I have read all the poems and books, in order to sell this skill to the emperor's family?
Xiangye is the one who guards the emperor's family, and whether the civil and military officials are promoted or demoted is between Xiangye's backhand. Zhou Ning didn't want to be promoted by clinging to the relationship, so he had to shake his spirit and show off his talent.
Make a good impression here with Xiangye, only the good will not hurt. As for being envied, there is no way to do it, and it is mediocre not to teach others to be jealous.
In the mixed comments, Zhou Ning wrote more and more words. He writes from high to low, and Lu Qing can always ensure that Zhou Ning dips in ink in the most comfortable position from standing to kneeling.
Zhou Ning's handwriting is good and fast, and many people below have begun to read it. Previously, Zhou Ning was a genius with both hands, but now he knows that Zhou Ning has more inner beauty in his abdomen.
Zhou Ning wrote this couplet seriously, and in the last stroke, he collected it with both hands, and the masterpiece was completely completed. Zhou Ning put the two brushes on the inkstone side by side, turned around and looked at Lin Mingde deeply.
"The lower official has written, please palm the eye."
Lin Mingde had already finished reading it with him, and his words alone were enough to be pleasing to the eye, but he never expected his couplets to be even more elegant.
Lin Mingde cleared his throat, stood on the high platform, and read it himself.
"As a guest, how can he ask Corning; But let the bag have surplus money, the urn has surplus brew, and the kettle has surplus grain; Take a few pages of appreciative old paper and let loose it; Xing should be wide, the skin should be stubborn, the facial features are smarter than a thousand officials, and it is still rare to live until sixty. ”
"Determined to become an immortal, empty troubles; but let the ears have no vulgar voices, no vulgar things in the eyes, and no vulgar things in the chest; A few random new flowers, interspersed vertically and horizontally; Sleep late, get up early, a day is like two days, and it is more than 100 years old. ”
Xiang Ye read it, and the applause at the bottom became a film. This couplet is written lightly, brightly and open-mindedly, and it is very suitable for the emperor's imperial paintings.
Zhou Ning looked at the couplets written by the imperial painting, and of course he wanted to describe the things in the painting the same. In the emperor's painting, there is an old man standing at the gate of the manor with a cane with a wine gourd on the cane, and a money bag on the old man's waist.
In the yard, there are chickens, dogs, a man and a woman, two children playing, and in the study, there are pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and a vase with flowers.
There is a Taoist temple in the distance, and there are cranes flying in front of the Taoist temple, and there is a rainbow in the sky.
The old man standing at the gate must have been a guest, or perhaps a guest returning, not riding a horse or sitting in a sedan chair to see the old man healthy.
"There are money bags and wine gourd paintings, and those two naughty boys think they should be on 'Xing to be wide and the skin to be naughty'."
"Chickens and dogs are not mentioned."
"What do chickens and dogs do with it?"
"Don't you see 'going to bed late and waking up early' in the next couplet? Isn't it supposed to be on chickens and dogs? ”
"Oh, you mean to say that Xiangye sleeps later than the dog and wakes up earlier than the chicken?"
“……”
It seems that there are people with low emotional intelligence, and not all officials are smart, but fortunately, there are many and chaotic people, and a few nonsense words may not reach the ears of Xiangye.
"There is a Taoist temple in the distance, which means 'determined to become an immortal, empty troubles', wonderful, it is really a stroke of genius."
"Where did this come from? It's amazing. ”
Lin Mingde stared at this couplet with a smile on his face, he nodded for a long time, shook his head again, and slowly spoke, asking, "This crane should be the finishing touch, why didn't you mention it?" ”
Lin Mingde is a bit picky, and he doesn't know that he thinks Lin Xiangguo is deliberately looking for Zhou Ning's stubble.
Those who know Lin Mingde's thoughts have long understood that Lin Mingde is a parent, others can praise Zhou Ning to the sky, he must pretend to be modest.
Zhou Ning didn't know the details, he smiled slightly: "Xiangye only gave the paper of the couplet, not the paper of the horizontal batch, so there is nowhere to put the finishing touch." ”
"Hahaha" Lin Mingde laughed loudly, is it difficult for the Prime Minister to be short of a horizontal batch of paper? What a clever little Zhou Ning.
He wrote a couplet and fell into the scene, not saying that he did not write all the paintings, but instead slapped a rake and said that the prime minister did not give the horizontal paper.
The housekeeper hurriedly ordered someone to bring a pair of scrolls of good size, and Zhou Ning once again picked up the pen and wrote the same book with both hands, this time writing on the same scroll, he wrote the first word and the second word at the same time.
The eight-character horizontal criticism only took the time for others to write four words, and the writing immediately caused a wave of praise.
