Liu Minghua is actually curious about the calligraphy level of the Tang Princess. You know, Liu Minghua is going to study with them after a while. Le'er told Liu Minghua that it was a good idea she came up with with with her sister in the carriage. However, in Liu Minghua's opinion, this is a bad idea anyway! Go to study with the princes and princesses? It's going to be a headache. Those are definitely little ancestors, how can they be accompanied?

At this moment, the scene was a sensation. Seeing that Lan'er here is also going to perform live? The geniuses of the Wa Kingdom and Goguryeo all ran over.

Just now, the calligraphy level of the two talented people of Wa Guo and Goguryeo was really powerful, so there was no talent on the side of the academy to respond for a while? It just so happened that they made an excuse and came over to watch the excitement.

Liu Minghua rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll sharpen ink for Lan'er!" Hehe, it's really fragrant with red sleeves. It's just that I'm a companion now, just a little scholar! ”

Lan'er saw Liu Minghua, a little scholar, and chuckled: "Minghua's technique is good. It seems that I can still lift the pen! ”

This sentence made Liu Minghua roll his eyes. Can you still pick up a pen? I'm very good at calligraphy, okay? This Lan'er dares to underestimate me, and I'll clean you up in the future!

Mr. Ouyang looked at Liu Minghua's method of grinding ink and was also amazed! He didn't expect that today's young talents would be so proficient in calligraphy.

Liu Minghua is an absolute expert in when to add water, the amount of water to add, the grinding direction, and the rotational friction strength when grinding ink.

Lan'er kept nodding in praise. Liu Minghua is amazing, as if he doesn't understand things.

Seeing that Lan'er was going to perform live, Sun Xiaoniang and Xue'er also stood beside Liu Minghua. Seeing Liu Minghua's skillful ink grinding technique, he was admired by the people around him. Cher feels honored!

Liu Minghua finished grinding the ink and said softly: "Please ......"

Lan Er smiled. Pick up a brush like a flower, and habitually pull the sleeve of your right hand with your left hand. Ready to put pen to paper.

Suddenly, she looked up and said, "Is it really written randomly?" ”

Liu Minghua said: "That's nature! ”

Lan'er nodded, and the brush dipped in ink, and the dragon and phoenix danced!

At this moment, the temperament exuded by Lan'er fascinated all the people around her! What do you mean by being a lady? What is a princess? What do you call everyone? This qiē can be reflected in Lan'er!

Even Liu Minghua was a little dumbfounded. Holy, the world is crazy! Lan'er is a woman, since she can write Wang Xizhi's calligraphy? Why is it so powerful? Even if you practice calligraphy from the womb, you don't necessarily have this level, right?

After a few moments, Lan'er finished writing and gently put down the brush. With a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth when she saw Liu Minghua, who was a little stunned. It was a confident, powerful smile.

Lan'er's strength is really shocking! At this moment, Lan'er turned into a goddess. Amazing!

Although Mr. Ouyang thought that Lan'er might be very powerful, Lan'er's strength still deeply shocked him!

Mr. Ouyang excitedly picked up the rice paper with both hands, and everyone saw a poem on the rice paper.

Everyone was first shocked by the beautiful calligraphy, and then they were in the mood to see those lines of poetry: "Evil, I want to know you and live a long life." There are no tombs in the mountains, the rivers are exhausted, thunder and earthquakes in winter, rain and snow in summer. Heaven and earth are together, but dare to be with the king! ”

At this time, the crowd has already begun to applaud enthusiastically! Some talented people in the Wa Kingdom and Goguryeo all looked at Lan'er with disbelief, and the gazes in the eyes of a few people were very strange and complicated.

Mr. Ouyang held the calligraphy and kept saying, "Excellent." What a masterpiece! This little lady, I don't know if this calligraphy can ......"

"Can't!" Liu Minghua came back to his senses and decisively interrupted Mr. Ouyang's request. Then he said, "Mr. Ouyang, this calligraphy is mine." If you want. Shall I ask Lan'er to write you another one? ”

Liu Minghua didn't mean to compete with Mr. Ouyang, but there was no way. Lan'er's first word. The first painting, the first time...... It must all be Liu Minghua's! This is a principle that must not be shaken! Therefore, Liu Minghua simply rejected Mr. Ouyang.

Mr. Ouyang also felt that it was a little inappropriate just now, looking at the poems in this calligraphy, it was obvious that the two young people of the family were affectionate, why did they join in the fun?

Liu Minghua put away the calligraphy and said to Lan'er: "Lan'er, I have to trouble you to write another word for Mr. Ouyang." ”

Lan'er had already heard the conversation between Liu Minghua and Mr. Ouyang just now, and she smiled and picked up the brush again. At this time, Mr. Ouyang had already laid out rice paper for Lan'er with his own hands, and Liu Minghua asked with a smile: "Mr. Ouyang, what do you want to write?" ”

Mr. Ouyang said: "Just write the ...... of Yunshutai Academy" It seems that Mr. Ouyang is planning to use the words written by Lan'er to show off to educate the students of the academy.

Mr. Ouyang really loves talents, and he really doesn't want to let go of talents like Lan'er. It's just that Lan'er is a daughter and can't enter the academy. It's just that this Liu Minghua seems to be the dragon and phoenix among people. Mr. Ouyang started Liu Minghua's idea.

Mr. Ouyang has read countless people, but he can't see through Liu Minghua. There are really not many people in this world who can make him unable to see through. Therefore, Mr. Ouyang really didn't want to let Liu Minghua go.

At this time, Lan'er was ready, recognized by Mr. Ouyang, and Lan'er was very happy to see her Minghua and Liu Minghua's happy appearance! Very excited! She picked up the pen, then calmed down and waved it: "Yunshutai Academy!" ”

"Good!" Most of the people around are the talents of Yunshutai Academy, looking at this character and seeing such a good calligraphy, why don't they cheer and thunder?

Mr. Ouyang rubbed his hands happily, but it was a pity that Lan'er was a woman.

Mr. Ouyang sighed and said, "Minghua Xiaoyou, there will be some calligraphy works auctioned at the Poetry Competition today. This time, the talents of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Tang Dynasty, the Goguryeo, the Tibetans, and the Turks are all preparing to participate in the auction. I don't know if Lan'er's calligraphy can ......," Mr. Ouyang meant that he wanted to auction the calligraphy written by Lan'er. Of course, this must be approved by Lan'er.

Liu Minghua thought to himself that Lan'er's participation should be able to hit the masters of other countries, why not? Thinking of this, Liu Minghua said: "Mr. Ouyang, why do you want to auction?" I don't think calligraphy and other works of art can be measured in terms of money, right? ”

Mr. Ouyang smiled bitterly and said, "Minghua." Let's be honest, this time Hu Ren came to several powerful calligraphers. In fact, the auction turned into a secret contest? I'm worried that my college students won't be able to stand it! ”

Liu Minghua immediately said: "So? Then of course I'm going to participate! This is also to win glory for the country! How can you tell if you win or lose, though? ”

Mr. Ouyang was overjoyed. Liu Minghua asked like this, indicating that he had promised to let Lan'er go out, and he said excitedly: "On the one hand, look at the opinions of everyone in calligraphy, as well as the opinions of everyone on the scene, of course, it mainly depends on who has the highest auction price of calligraphy!" The highest bidder wins. How about Minghua? Participate, right? After Mr. Ouyang finished speaking, he looked at Liu Minghua and Lan'er expectantly.

"Lan'er, look ......," Liu Minghua turned his head to look at Lan'er. Liu Minghua didn't know how high Lan'er's level really was, and whether he had a bottom in his heart, so he had to ask for her opinion.

Lan'er smiled and said, "But according to Minghua's orders." ”

"Good! We participated! Winning glory for Datang is the right thing! Liu Minghua said impassionedly to Mr. Ouyang.

Mr. Ouyang said happily: "Great. Since you want to win glory for Datang, there are still many opportunities! There are some famous paintings over there, and there are different opinions about whether they are true or not. Famous experts from various countries will also have a contest on the authenticity of antiquities this time, so let's go and see if we can do it now? ”

As long as there is Lan'er, this calligraphy will basically not lose. As for Lan'er's painting, Mr. Ouyang is not worried, since ancient times, the art of calligraphy and painting has not been separated. People who are skilled in calligraphy and painting are also very good at identifying the authenticity of calligraphy and painting.

Liu Minghua said very simply this time: "Okay, Mr. Ouyang, Lan'er knows a little bit about calligraphy and painting, so let's go and have a look." Lan'er nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

This time. Xue'er rushed over and hugged Lan'er happily. Sun Xiaoniang also smiled and congratulated Lan'er.

Liu Minghua and his entourage followed Mr. Ouyang to a heavily guarded calligraphy and painting booth.

Mr. Ouyang pointed to an ancient painting and said, "It is said that this is Gu Kaizhi's authentic handiwork?" It's just that I feel ......" Mr. Ouyang finished speaking and looked at Lan Er, who was frowning. It can be seen that Lan'er is also suspicious of this painting.

At this time, several famous artists from all over the world were expressing their opinions on this painting. Liu Minghua listened to it, and most famous artists thought that this painting was really Gu Kaizhi's real work.

Mr. Ouyang looked at those famous masters and whispered, "Lan'er." What do you think of this painting? ”

Lan'er looked at it again and shook her head and said, "According to my observations, this painting should have been painted for about a hundred years. But Gu Kaizhi is from the Eastern Jin Dynasty! More than 200 years ago. Therefore, I think it is a fake. Lan'er was a bit of an understatement.

"Won't you, Minghua? This...... Is it a fake? The eldest grandson Jiaqing suddenly appeared behind Liu Minghua.

Liu Minghua was stunned: "Why did you come?" You don't know that I almost got into a fight with Pei Chengye just now? Didn't come over earlier to help? ”

The eldest grandson, Jiaqing, is of course a talented man in Chang'an City. Therefore, this kind of poetry will be indispensable to him.

The eldest grandson Jiaqing sighed: "Hey, I heard your legend as soon as I came, it's so relieved!" By the way, this painting is mine, what, is it a fake? Liu Minghua fainted: "What? Is it yours? ”

Looking at the bitter face of the eldest grandson Jiaqing, Lan'er said angrily: "If there are not many people similar to the eldest grandson Jiaqing, how can the Yan fakes be circulated?" ”

"You ......" the eldest grandson Jiaqing was so crying and laughing by Lan'er.

Mr. Ouyang said happily: "Ah, it turns out that you and the eldest grandson know each other? That's great! ”

The eldest grandson Jiaqing hurriedly said: "Mr. Ouyang, we naturally know each other. Let's not talk about this painting, is it really a fake? ”

Lan'er shook her head and said in a firm tone: "I said that it is a fake, then it must be a fake!" ”

"Fake?" The eldest grandson Jiaqing was dumbfounded.

At this time, a slightly annoyed and scolding voice sounded next to him: "Where did the junior dare to talk here?" The authenticity of a painting can not only be verified by looking at the time, and then the painting is only a hundred years old? "An old calligrapher is a bit grumpy.

"It's just that young people nowadays really don't learn and don't know how to ......"

"I think it's a grandstander......"

Several famous experts obviously disagreed with Lan'er's appraisal results.

Mr. Ouyang was embarrassed for a while, Lan'er was something he couldn't invite, and now he was ridiculed by others, Mr. Ouyang felt a little guilty.

Of course, Lan'er heard what those old experts said about her, but there was no expression on her face. It doesn't seem to be angry at all. In her eyes, her appraisal is the final judgment. The result is that it will not change again. How many precious paintings and calligraphy are there in the palace? Lan'er has seen it since she was a child. How can anyone else compare?

Liu Minghua snorted, a little angry. But there is no way, who calls people famous?

Mr. Ouyang stepped forward and asked, "Eldest grandson, I don't know where you got this painting, but I have already seen some problems, if you can trust me, I can take it back to the academy for careful appraisal......

The eldest grandson Jiaqing felt that something was too big! This painting cost a huge amount of money to buy, and he hurriedly said: "Of course I can trust Mr. Ouyang, since Mr. Ouyang has doubts about the authenticity of this painting." Then it's not appropriate to continue the exhibition of this painting, so I'll ask someone to take it down, right? ”

Mr. Ouyang smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, and whether it is a fake or not is still inconclusive." Even if it's a fake, it's worth a lot! ”

The eldest grandson, Jiaqing, nodded yes. Then he said: "Mr. Ouyang, I heard that this time there is Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Fu"? ”

Mr. Ouyang said, "Yes. Let's go and see Gu Kaizhi's real work? ”

Lan'er nodded, followed Liu Minghua's side, and the group walked into the VIP hall with Mr. Ouyang and the eldest grandson Jiaqing.

At this time, Xue'er said: "Brother Minghua, I heard that Gu Kaizhi is very amorous?" Isn't it? ”

Liu Minghua said: "You go to find your sister Lan'er." She's great at that. ”

Lan'er shook her head and said, "I just care about Gu Kaizhi's calligraphy and painting skills, and I haven't studied whether he is affectionate." ”

Xue'er asked again: "Brother Minghua, is "Luo Shen Fu" very famous?" ”

Liu Minghua really knows a little. But only a little. He said helplessly: "I don't dare to talk nonsense about this, Lan'er must know." ”

Lan Er said: "This painting has been collected by a prince of the Sui Dynasty, and it is said to be very precious. Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Fu" can be called a national treasure. ”

Mr. Ouyang turned around and said, "Everyone, please take a look." This is Gu Kaizhi's true work "Luo Shen Fu" ......"

Lan'er looked at the painting carefully, and then exclaimed, "Not bad. This painting should be more than 200 years old, and it is Gu Kaizhi's authentic work! ”

Mr. Ouyang nodded and said, "This has been identified by calligraphers and painters of all ages. It can't be fake. ”

"Luo Shen Fu" is Gu Kaizhi's hand-me-down masterpiece. The whole volume is divided into three parts, with twists and turns, detailed and layered depictions of the sincere and pure love story of Cao Zhi and Luo Shen.

The figures in this painting are arranged in a sparse and dense manner, naturally alternating, overlapping and exchanging in different time and space, and in the depiction of mountains and rivers, they all show a kind of spatial beauty. Such as "fluttering like a frightening Hong, graceful like a swimming dragon", "as if like a light cloud covering the moon", "bright like the sun rising to the morning glow" and so on.

The eldest grandson Jiaqing exclaimed: "This is the real thing!" Look at me, that painting is a fake! ”

Lan'er looked at Eldest Sun Jiaqing and comforted: "Eldest Sun Jiaqing, although the painting you collected is a fake, the painting is excellent, and it is also rare. ”

The eldest grandson Jiaqing smiled: "Thank you for comforting, otherwise, I would be uncomfortable to death!" ”

"Hmph......" There were a few famous calligraphers and painters next to him who couldn't help but hum when they saw Lan'er commenting like this. It's just that they are all people with identity and age, so naturally they won't criticize Lan'er in front of so many people.

The geniuses of the Wa Kingdom, Goguryeo and the Tibetan Turks were also a little suspicious. Lan'er is so young, so dare to identify these national treasures? It's incredible.

Mr. Ouyang looked at those people and was a little unhappy in his heart. Anyway, Lan'er was invited by him. Mr. Ouyang is now more and more impressed with Lan'er, because Lan'er's opinion is basically the same as his, don't forget, Lan'er is just a little girl!

Next, Mr. Ouyang pointed to the heavily guarded booth next to him and said, "This is a calligraphy booth. ”

Lan'er walked over slowly, and suddenly she pointed to a painting and said, "This ...... "Orchid Pavilion Preface"? I've seen this calligraphy! But this copy version is also excellent! ”

Liu Minghua exclaimed: "Have you seen the real thing? No way? ”

Lan'er looked at the surrounding situation and whispered to Liu Minghua: "It's really before "Lanting Preface"...... I touched it myself in the study, you know? ”

Liu Minghua opened his mouth and stammered: "Won't it?" This is Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface"! How did it get into your study? ”

Lan'er lowered her voice and said, "Stupid! It's my father's study! However, the real work of my father has been hidden! Well? It's this copy, and it's also in the palace! Do you see it? My father tried to repair the damage. If you see it, it's just the faint dot below. My father said that this may be the candle marks left by the ancients when they were watching the paintings with candles, and it is very likely that they were burned by candles. ”

Then Liu Minghua carefully observed the calligraphy, and sure enough, he found that there was a small trace of fire in the lower right corner of this "Orchid Pavilion Preface", of course, it was processed. If you don't know why, you don't know how this trace was made! Some people may think that this is a special mark made by collectors of the past generations, and no one will think that this "Orchid Pavilion Preface" was almost burned by the ancients!

Mr. Ouyang saw Lan Er pointing to a "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and Liu Minghua whispering, so he came over and said: "The "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is written by the famous calligrapher Wang Xizhi and is respected as "the first line of books in the world"! Of course, it doesn't matter if it's number one or not! The important thing is that the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is indeed a rare calligraphy treasure! ”

After Mr. Ouyang finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Liu Minghua and Lan'er. Liu Minghua said: "Mr. Ouyang, I know more or less about this, but I don't know it very well. ”

Mr. Ouyang smiled and continued to introduce: "On the third day of the third lunar month in 353, when Wang Xizhi, Xie An, Sun Sui and other 41 people were repairing in the Lanting Pavilion in Shaoxing, everyone drank and wrote poems, and collected poems. Wang Xizhi improvised a preface, this is the famous "Orchid Pavilion Preface"! ”

Liu Minghua said again: "Then Mr. Ouyang, where is the real "Orchid Pavilion Preface" at this time? “

"This ......," Mr. Ouyang wanted to say but stopped.
