Chapter 5 Boss Cao's corner must be dug

In the West Zhong Mansion in Changshe County, when Liu Yu was brought to Zhong Xuan, Zhong Xuan was writing in the study. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Yu didn't speak, quietly stood aside and looked at the words written by Zhong Xuan, only to see that most of the characters were solemn, the writing effect was slightly wide and flat, the horizontal painting was long and the straight drawing was short, it was rectangular in shape, and its words were "silkworm head and goose tail", "wave and three folds".

Liu Yu has never written this shape of words before, Liu Yu wrote simplified words, even if Liu Yu practiced words before, they were all square shapes, straight strokes in regular script, and Liu Yu wrote a little, long apostrophe, short apostrophe, straight hook and other strokes, the structure is neat, and Zhong Xuan wrote at the moment is still different.

However, Liu Yu has to admit that Zhong Xuan's handwriting is really good, Zhong Xuan's calligraphy is quaint and simple, mellow and vigorous, mellow and ancient, and the penmanship is streamlined and natural.

Liu Yu of later generations loved calligraphy on weekdays, and he had practiced a lot of calligraphy, what Liu Gongquan's willow body, Yan Zhenqing's face body himself copied a lot, at this time Liu Yu felt that although his words were good, but in front of Zhong Xuan, it was a bit of a clown.

At this moment, Liu Yu suddenly remembered that Zhong Xuan was quite accomplished in calligraphy, was the founder of regular script, and was respected as the "originator of regular script" by later generations. Zhong Xiang had a far-reaching influence on the calligraphy of later generations, Wang Xizhi and other calligraphers of later generations have devoted themselves to studying Zhong Xuan's calligraphy, and the calligrapher Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is called "Zhong Wang", and Zhong Xuan's calligraphy is listed as "above the top grade".

Thinking of this, I saw that the words written by Zhong Xuan at this time were not regular scripts, but they must still be official scripts, and I suddenly had a little confidence in recruiting Zhong Xuan.

After a while, Zhong Yu stopped writing, saw Liu Yu standing in front of the desk, and said: "I am so obsessed with calligraphy, I didn't know that a guest was coming, it was really rude, and I ask for forgiveness." “

"Under Liu Yu, the word Yunyu, the name of Mr. Zhong has been heard for a long time, and I am here to visit me today." Liu Yu naturally didn't think that Zhong Yu was really rude, and said politely.

"I don't dare to be a lazy person in the mountains." Zhong Xuan was a little modest.

"To tell you the truth, I am the son of Liu Yu of Youzhou Mu, not long ago my father was appointed as Youzhou Mu, and now I think I have arrived. Yu wants to contribute to his father, but he is still young and has little experience. I came to visit Mr. because I wanted to ask for the art of helping the world and the people, and I asked Mr. to go out of the mountain to help. Liu Yu didn't go around the bend, and directly explained his intention.

"It turned out that after Liu Gong, he respected his father's reputation in the sea, and was famous all over the world, and he was supposed to go to work, but he went home from his job due to illness two years ago, and he was obsessed with calligraphy on weekdays, and calligraphy has not yet been completed, and now he has no intention of pursuing a career, Liu Jun or please go back." Zhong Xuan politely rejected Liu Yu's solicitation, without any expression on his face.

Liu Yu had long known that Zhong Yu would reject him, and he didn't care, all this was in his expectation, if Zhong Yu directly agreed to him to come out, Liu Yu would think it would be strange.

After all, Zhong Miao is not an ordinary person, he is a great talent, as the founder of Cao Wei, Zhong Xuan is not only superb in calligraphy, but also outstanding in politics. He was once entrusted with an important task by Cao Cao to assist Emperor Han Xian to return to the east, stabilize Guanyou, defeat Guo Yuan, and have a high reputation among the important ministers under Boss Cao.

Such a talent, Liu Yu himself must recruit. What's more, Cao Cao will become a fierce rival in his troubled times in the future, his corner can be dug if he can, digging the corner of Boss Cao not only weakens Cao Cao's strength, but also increases his strength, this kind of win-win thing as long as he has the opportunity why not do it?

Previously, Liu Yu wanted to recruit the ghost talent Guo Jia, but he was repeatedly turned away, and now this Zhong Yu Liu Yu must recruit him under his command no matter what, otherwise the beginning of his journey to find talents this time will be so unsuccessful, and I am afraid that there is no need to continue in the future.

"Sir's meaning, Yu already knows. Mr. Jiuwen is a calligrapher, Yu also likes to write on weekdays, today I want to be ugly in front of Mr., and ask Mr. to give Yu some advice. Liu Yu did not continue to directly recruit Zhong Xuan, at this time he was already planning to use another method.

"It's okay, I didn't expect Liu Jun to be interested in calligraphy at a young age." Zhong Xuan said with some interest.

Liu Yu's face was overjoyed, knowing that Zhong Yu had already taken the bait, and said, "Please also ask Mr. to lend me a pen and paper." ”

"Please." Zhong Xuan walked out of the desk where he had just written.

Liu Yu pondered for a while, raised his pen and waved his hand, and wrote a few regular characters. At this time, Liu Yu suddenly found that his choice after crossing was indeed right, and the words he had practiced for several months finally came in handy today.

Although Liu Yu's words are not at the master level, they are also decent, the font is square and powerful, and the standard regular script is large, Liu Yu writes "The mountains are not tired of being high, and the sea is not tired of being deep."

Zhou Gong vomited and fed, and the world returned to the heart. "Sixteen words.

Liu Yu wrote in traditional Chinese, he did not write simplified characters, Zhong Xuan as an ancient, it is not easy to innovate the official script for regular script, if he uses simplified words Zhong Xuan must not know what he wrote, and it is not good to treat himself as a freak at that time.

After all, the book has not really been formed yet, and the simplified characters are the fonts of the two thousand. Liu Yu believes that if he wants to change traditional Chinese characters to simplified characters, there must be a gradual process, and he cannot promote it in one step, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses.

Liu Yu knew that as long as Zhong Xuan really had the intention to reform Lishu, then the italics he wrote were enough to impress him.

And these two sentences written by Liu Yu are also relied on by himself to learn the language for a few more years, and he has recited this poem written by Cao Cao later.

In order to recruit the world's talents, Zhou Gong received people who asked to see, held his hair many times in a bath, and spit out the food in his mouth many times during a meal.

Sure enough, Zhong Miao stared at the sixteen words written by Liu Yu, and couldn't say a word for a long time, and his heart was full of shock at this moment.

Of course he understands the meaning of this sentence, but what really shocked him was the font of these sixteen words, this italic form is the direction he has been groping for recently, although he has ideas but is not mature enough, so that he has been very entangled recently, and the words written by Liu Yu today have had a big impact on Zhong Xuan.

Shocked, he found that the bottleneck he had encountered before seemed to have been broken, and suddenly there was a bright future, Zhong Xuan believed that with today's events, he would soon be able to renovate Lishu.

Zhong Yu was completely immersed in it at the moment, and it took a while to come to his senses, at this time his eyes when he looked at Liu Yu had turned into reverence, this is this kind of big man, he will not look at your age and background, only value your ability, as long as you are really capable, they will also respect you very much.

"These fonts really surprise me, and I don't blame them for being a little out of shape. It's just that I'm curious, did you create this font yourself? ”

Liu Yu leaned over and replied: "Don't hide it, Mr. Yu only has some ideas about this font at present, but it is not yet mature, and he has been worried that he will be regarded as a freak and dare not write it to others. ”

Liu Yu naturally can't tell the truth, this font is indeed not created by himself, Zhong Xuan, you are the "originator of regular script", Liu Yu said this is nothing more than a purpose, he wants to give Zhong Xuan a chance, if he really says that this font is created by himself, I am afraid it will be a big blow to Zhong Xuan, and it will be a little difficult to recruit him at that time.

And Zhong Xuan knew that this font was not created by Liu Yu, and Liu Yu only had some ideas that had not been formed, so he would have the confidence to become the person who formed the regular script.

Zhong Xuan said with a smile: "Liu Jun is really modest, he used to sit in and watch the sky, and Liu Jun has opened his eyes today." ”

After that, Liu Yu and Zhong Xiang discussed a lot of questions about regular script, the two chatted very speculatively, the more they talked about Zhong Xuan, the more they felt that Liu Yu was not an ordinary person, which made Liu Yu feel relieved, it seems that Zhong Xuan already has a good impression of himself, and it will be easier for him to recruit when he wants.

With these foreshadowings, Liu Yu said: "Sir, you see, this font is more simplified than Zhilishu, the shape is square, the strokes are straight, and it can be used as a model, so why not call it regular script?" ”

"Regular script, yes, it's regular script, it can be a model." Zhong Miao said happily.

Seeing that Zhong Yu had completely fallen into the new font, Liu Yu naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity, and immediately said: "Sir, what I said before, Mr. Wanwang thought twice. ”
