Chapter 51: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

"I saw Cai Xiang's calligraphy in the early years, and it was still in Luoyang Yuan Gong's Mansion, and it was also a ruler's calligraphy, which was indeed elegant and tactful, and moving. The young man's pen is very good, and these words can be seen that the calligraphy is both physical and spiritual. But in the opinion of this official, the most praiseworthy thing about the young man is this temperament that is not arrogant or impatient. It's good, it's good. Lord Tong looked at Chu Feng and smiled his head.

Chu Feng also smiled, said "Don't dare to be", and bowed back.

"This "Summer Hot Post" seems to be a treasure in Mr. Lu's family? This young man is also very lucky, he can worship under the name of Mr. Lu, not only can he follow the practice of compiling and carving, but he can also borrow the Lu family's famous posts and books. Lord Zhizhou exclaimed.

"Yes," the general judge echoed with a smile, "Do you know that there is a saying among some scholars, called 'Jiangnan Academy teaching craftsmen, not as good as the gatekeeper of the Lu Mansion', the so-called family history and close to the water, I am afraid that this is exactly the case." ”

"How can there be such rumors? It's an exaggeration. Hearing this, Mr. Wen Duan shook his head with a smile.

Lord Zhizhou smiled: "Since there is such a statement, of course, it is not groundless, why should Mr. Lu be too humble." Yes, I don't know if the "Summer Hot Post" is in the house? How can we say that we are also guests, can we be anti-guest-oriented, make a reluctant request, borrow a list, and feast your eyes? ”

"It's all trifles." Mr. Wen Duan smiled and waved his hand, and said to Chu Feng, "Chu Lang, take out the "Summer Hot Post" and invite the two adults to enjoy it." ”

"Yes." Chu Feng bowed slightly and turned away.

Lord Tong looked at the figure of Chu Feng leaving, and praised him: "The so-called Zhilan Yushu should be like this. ”

Zhou Fushi next to him, his face has been stiff for a long time.

After that, things went smoothly.

Everyone is still talking about gossip that has nothing to do with political affairs and officialdom, and they are leisurely and elegant.

"Summer Hot Post" was used to play and admire, and Chu Feng was instructed to write a poem "Drinking the Lake After the First Sunny Day" in Su Dongpo's calligraphy font, and everyone commented and praised it.

After being so attentive, Lord Zhizhou seemed to think of something, and asked Chu Fengdao: "In a few days, it will be the period of the township test, and Chu Lang doesn't seem to be ready to return to his hometown to participate?" ”

"Yes, the younger generation doesn't know how to read." Chu Feng said with a smile.

"With such a talent, it's a pity not to participate in the career. This year, it seems that Chu Lang can't be moved, but if Chu Lang's good handwriting is not used for himself, I, as a parent official, always feel unwilling. Lord Zhizhou laughed heartily, "If Chu Lang has nothing to do in those days, why don't you come to the mansion and help the official transcribe the scroll?" Although the remuneration is not much, the good thing is that the time is not long, that is, two or three days of work. Mr. Lu, I borrowed it for the apprentice, can you agree? ”

The beautiful words next to him revolved around Chu Feng, and Chu Feng was not without waves in his heart.

It's not something he can do at his age, but the reason why he can stand aside and listen with a smile is because he understands the truth. These praises are for themselves, but more, or rather, about fifty or sixty percent, are still because of Mr. Wen Duan.

It is indispensable to praise people at the same time to praise all kinds of things around them, and the so-called one-person Taoist chicken dog ascends to heaven, which is similar to this kind of thing.

What is his calligraphy attainment, Chu Feng himself has a position for himself.

No matter how talented a person is, this kind of thing is not something that can be seen in half a month, not to mention, his qualifications in calligraphy are just ordinary. Maybe the one who is studying is slightly better than others, but it's only slightly better, and it's not worth saying more.

If it weren't for Mr. Wenduan's factor, others would naturally not praise him.

Chu Feng is a very calm person and a very self-aware person, so it is difficult to be shaken by the false words outside. This kind of thing has happened a lot in history, and it is constantly repeated in any society. Chu Feng is a smart person, so naturally he will not fall into the trap of such a sugar-coated cannonball.

These words can enter the ears, but not the heart. In fact, everyone present is well aware of this matter, but no one will break it.

Of course, if you talk about Chu Feng's weakness...... It's just that my estimation of myself is really shallow. He thought that he was not outstanding in calligraphy, danqing, etc., but in fact, it was two or three points higher than his own estimate. Although two or three points is not much, in view of his age, in the eyes of others, it can also be described by the word "good".

Many things are integrated into Chu Feng's bones. The experience and vision brought to him by the vision of a thousand years later are different from those of today. This metaphysical thing may be difficult to explain, but it is a real thing that can affect many details when you put pen to paper.

And these details, Chu Feng may not notice, but for other people in this era, he can feel a different temperament, which is the so-called demeanor.

It is precisely because of these various foreshadowing that the suppression methods outlined by Zhou Fushi for Chu Feng completely died down when they were not used. But this is a thorn buried in the heart of Zhou Fushi, and I don't know what kind of fruit will bear in the future......

As for the suggestion put forward by Lord Nazhizhou, Chu Fengshang was thinking about the meaning of "copying the imperial examination", and Mr. Wen Duan responded first.

Mr. Wen Duan was hoping that Chu Feng would have such a level of advancement, so he naturally would not refuse: "The disciple is stubborn, and it is also his blessing to be valued by Lord Zhizhou." It's just that this kid has never done anything outside, and if something happens, I hope Lord Zhizhou will take care of it. ”

"Mr. Lu, where is this, it is the luck of us reviewers to be able to invite Chu Lang to do this year's transcription. The words that have been copied seem to taste the same as chewing wax, and the food is tasteless, and this year there is Chu Lang to write, and this review of the dossier is no longer a chore! "The general judgment should be peaceful.

Chu Feng listened on the sidelines, and faintly had some understanding of things like imperial examinations and transcriptions. Chu Feng didn't have too many good or bad feelings about serving in the government, and felt that it was an indispensable thing. He didn't have any expectations for this kind of thing, and always felt that that kind of place was too "hidden dragon and crouching tiger", and that kind of official style was something he couldn't learn and didn't want to learn more.

It's just that Mr. Wen Duan recommended himself so much, and Chu Feng couldn't resign from this transcription.

He thought to himself, but it was just a matter of two or three days, copying the papers, and there shouldn't be too many interpersonal contacts, so it would be easier. And there is a salary to be paid...... Although Chu Feng now lives in Mr. Wenduan's place to eat and drink, every man is proud of self-reliance in his bones, and Chu Feng will naturally be no exception.

None of the people present noticed that Zhou Fushi's complexion had changed too many times in a short period of time, which was really funny.

"Yes, I suddenly remembered something about the ink painting meeting." Lord Tong remembered something coldly, and looked at Chu Feng, "Liu Zhengqing was representing Lu's calligraphy and painting firm at that time, in addition to taking out a "Beijing Wine Post", he also took a private painting, I remember that the painting is the lake and mountains of West Lake, and Mr. Cheng Yuan said that he wanted to accept the painter of this painting as an apprentice. According to Liu Zhengqing, the painting was painted by his friend, and I can't remember the name clearly, but it seems that it is also surnamed Chu? It's hard to be ......"

Mr. Wen Duan smiled when he heard this, and said: "My lord really has a good memory, and I also care about such trivial things." Yes, Chu Lang is not only my disciple, but now he is also learning to be a Danqing under that Mr. Cheng Yuan. ”

"Ahh Everyone was amazed.
