Ouyang Xun and Yan Liben next to them listened to Han Rui's words, and couldn't help but nod slightly, feeling that although Han Rui was not very old, his attitude was extremely gentle and humble, and Han Rui's poetry was amazing on the spot, but at this moment, he was not self-conscious, but put down the shelf, although he didn't take the initiative to do it, with his age, it was also a precious thing.

"A glass of wine is a respect, and the right to make amends is due." Seeing Han Rui giving face like this, the other young people stood up one after another, and it was difficult to refuse, Han Rui was not easy to refuse, one cup per person, one after another, and soon slumped, in a daze, Han Rui couldn't help but guess whether these people admired themselves or retaliated in this way.

The estrangement was resolved, and the atmosphere of the banquet was more enthusiastic, with laughter and laughter, but the most talked about was naturally Han Rui's imperial chapter, and the interest came, raising a glass to read, getting close to observe, and being impressed from time to time, however, there were also people who expressed different opinions.

"The verse is exquisite, but this word does not match the poem." Ouyang Xun also seemed to be drunk, and with Ouyang Tong's support, he staggered to the desk and said unceremoniously: "Han Rui, you come over to see your own characters, penmanship structure, it should be right, it should be right, it should be right, and it will not be the same." ”

Han Rui has been drinking and feasting endlessly, and his experience is quite rich, although he is the target of the public, he is barely sober, and he smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Master Ouyang, you are the master of the dynasty, calligraphy has been perfected, the kid is just barely getting a glimpse of the door, and he has not yet entered the door, so he naturally can't get into your eyes." ”

"It makes sense." Ouyang Xun brushed his beard, and seemed to be interested, and shouted: "Pen and ink are waiting." ”

The servant next to him hurriedly laid out the paper, handed over the brush, Ouyang Xun didn't look at it, and took it directly, according to Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun didn't choose paper and pen, all can be as good as he wants, and the writing has reached this level, which shows that he is clever, seeing that Ouyang Xun is going to write, everyone doesn't drink anymore, and they all gather around to observe and study.

Gently pulling the sleeves, the brush dyed ink, Ouyang Xun groaned slightly, the pen turned on the paper, and said in his mouth: "The pen must be round, the strength is vertical and horizontal, the strength is light, contemplation, careful and slow, natural preparation, this is the most important thing." After that, he wrote a Yongzi on the paper, the pen is dangerous, the backbone is strong, and the law is strict, and everyone applauds and praises.

"What's so good?" Ouyang asked.

Hey, everyone immediately looked at each other, so naturally it was good, and they could understand it, but they didn't know how to answer.

"The word Bachelor Ouyang, I see danger in the peace, and I see elegance in the rules, and I am getting more and more old-fashioned." Yan Liben said with a smile, the so-called touch bypass, let him write naturally, but at least he can say a thing or two.

Ouyang Xun stroked his beard and nodded slightly, but he didn't mean much joy, obviously Yan Liben didn't get to the point.

"Stop evenly on all sides, have eight sides, length and shortness, thickness and compromise, compared to the rise of the lone peak, cut into four sides, and get the essence of orthography." Ouyang Tong said, the so-called son inherits his father's business, his calligraphy is also deep Ouyang Xun true biography, when he is shy, he occasionally imitates his father's handwriting, writes a few lines to sell in the market, and often believes it if his eyesight is not successful.

Ouyang Xun remained silent, and just said, "You also write one." ”

Ouyang Tong respectfully took the pen, pondered for a while, and wrote the next word, Ouyang Xun looked at it, and said lightly: "Your words are very meaningful, and the sharp edge is too exposed, so you should pay attention to convergence." ”

Ouyang Tong hurriedly said yes, seeing that everyone had no other answer, Ouyang Xun shook his head slightly, and said: "Old man, this Yongzi, actually has eight methods......

"The point is like a peak falling stone, the horizontal is like the crescent moon in the sky, the horizontal is like a thousand miles of clouds, the vertical is like a withered vine of long live, the vertical is like a strong pine and folded, the stone cliff is hanging, the crossbow is folded like a thousand jun, the sword is like a sharp sword breaking the horn and teeth of the rhino elephant, and the pen is like a wave of often three strokes."

Han Rui's voice came, so that Ouyang Xun was surprised and moved, shouted bosom friend, through the wine, called the servants to bring a brocade silk again, immediately waved, the book was in the emperor's capital, the inscription was sealed, in the envious eyes of everyone, given to Han Rui, it was definitely a surprise, how could Han Rui refuse, immediately accepted it, toasted to thank him, others saw it, and raised their glasses to congratulate.

After being poured for a long time, Han Rui barely maintained a trace of clarity, tried his best to resign Ouyang Xun's retention, turned over and lay on horseback, staggered, came to the booked inn, walked into the room, couldn't take care of anything, lay down on the couch, and immediately fell asleep, until the afternoon of the next day, he woke up leisurely.

At this moment, the Dijing chapter has spread all over Chang'an, and the people of the time sighed at the swan song, those who have good deeds, without asking Han Rui's consent, directly put the title of Jianghuai's first genius on his head, but there are many responders, and naturally there are people who are not convinced, but Han Rui is still ignorant, lazy to bed, only to feel back pain, very uncomfortable.

After doing a few movements to make the muscles comfortable, the discomfort of the body dissipated a little, but the stomach was hungry for a while, Han Rui opened the window to watch the hour, only to find that he had been asleep for a long time, hurriedly opened the door, called the inn guy to get water, washed simply, had a full meal, hurried to the soup room, took a hot bath, felt comfortable, returned to the inn to change into clean clothes, and became a personable young man again.

Today, I will be invited to participate in the banquet of my uncle eldest grandson Wuji, and learn the lessons of yesterday, Han Rui did not dare to rest anymore, so as not to delay time, bought a few elegant gifts in the city of Fang, and went straight to the destination.

There is a black gold silk nanmu plaque hanging on the top of the red vermilion lacquer door, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with three lacquer gold characters of the eldest grandson's mansion, and then look at the payment, it is actually the emperor's imperial seal, sighing Li Shimin's favor to the eldest grandson Wuji, Han Rui immediately knocked on the door and handed over the post, and a subordinate came out, led Han Rui, entered the mansion from the small door next to him, and walked straight to the hall.

Sitting in the hall, in fact, Han Rui also expected that he seemed to have arrived early, maybe he had to sit on the cold bench for a while, but it was better to arrive early than late, and after coping with tonight, he could stop tomorrow, thinking of this, Han Rui couldn't help but feel a little like he had to flee the disaster.

While thinking about it, a servant walked in and said, "Master Han, the prince of the country is invited." ”

A little unexpected, Han Rui reacted, quickly got up and followed, walked out of the hall, went to the side corridor, passed a few hanging flower gates, turned around, as if to deliberately make Han Rui dizzy, maybe let him see the spaciousness of the Xia Guogong Mansion, anyway, it took several turns before he followed a cobblestone path and came to a beautiful garden.

When he came here, Han Rui found that the eldest grandson's words of love for chrysanthemums were not deception, in the garden, except for a few rows of green shrubs, the rest were chrysanthemums, and as far as the eye could see, there was a sea of golden flowers, and the rich fragrance drifted with the wind, refreshing people's hearts.

Walking all the way, in the center surrounded by a sea of flowers, there is a pavilion, which can be vaguely seen with the words "Chrysanthemum Pavilion" on it, but it is worthy of the name, with the servants, Han Rui walked lightly through the layers of flowers, and before coming to the pavilion, he saw a couch in the pavilion, and the eldest grandson Wuji was wearing regular clothes, lying on his side, supporting his cheeks like a face, staring down, as if he was concentrating on studying something.

"Guogong ......" the servant called in a low voice and said respectfully: "Han Gongzi is here." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji seemed to have heard of it, and slightly popped out two fingers, and the servant seemed to understand its meaning, bowed down and retreated, leaving only Han Rui, thought for a while, and didn't make a sound, just stood quietly next to him, from this angle, it can be clearly seen that the eldest grandson Wuji is fiddling with some chess pieces, half black and half in white and half in color, but it is not Go.

At first glance, Han Rui thought it was chess, and looked carefully again, and found that it was not like it, the number of chess pieces was insufficient, and it was densely placed on the chessboard, no matter how you look at it, it is not a game formation of chess.

Maybe it's some kind of chess game, Han Rui secretly thought, and he didn't think it was strange, after all, there were many games in ancient times, which were lost for various reasons, and it was normal to not see them.

The eldest grandson Wuji seemed to be in a state of hard thought, suddenly sat up straight, took a scroll next to him, opened it and looked it up, shook his head from time to time, and said: "It's not right to move around like this......"

Han Rui was curious, took two steps closer, looked down, and couldn't help but wonder how he sounded, generals, soldiers, elephants, rooks, horses, and pawns are indeed chess, how can there be no cannons, and the position of the chess is not right.

Hearing the movement, the eldest grandson Wuji raised his head and asked, "Han Rui, do you know how to play chess?" ”

"This chess piece doesn't seem to be right." Han Rui said, how can the two-word chess pieces be stacked in the group, and they are placed in a messy manner.

"What's wrong, see for yourself, I just put it as described in the scriptures, so it won't be wrong." The eldest grandson Wuji said in confusion, and handed over the book in his hand by the way.

Han Rui was not polite, he reached out and took it, opened it at random and watched it, for a moment, his eyes were big, is this a chess book, why can't he understand it at all.

"This is the Xiangjing written by Emperor Wu of Zhou in the previous dynasty, Yuwen Yong, a few days ago, His Majesty read it, I don't know what it means, let me study it, but after reading it for several days, I don't understand what it means." The eldest grandson Wuji sat down and said with some expectations: "Do you know? ”

Han Rui shook his head blankly and said frankly: "The book Chinese is deeply frustrating, and for a while, it is difficult to understand. ”

Oh, he sighed in disappointment, and the eldest grandson Wuji didn't mind, his dough face, a kind smile appeared, and he said, "The dinner hasn't started yet, why do you come in a hurry, aren't you afraid of being late?" ”

Han Rui said shamefully: "What happened yesterday has also reached the ears of the Guogong?" ”

"The Dijing chapter is out, and Chang'an sings, if I don't know, wouldn't I become a lonely and unheard." The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "Han Rui, I must also know that Ouyang Xun and I have never dealt with each other very well, since you shine at his banquet and add glory to his face, you can't favor one over the other and disappoint me." ”

Whether this is a threat or not, Han Rui has no choice but to smile bitterly.
