In the face of Xiao He's provocation, Du He said calmly: "Facts speak louder than words!" ”

Du He was about to start writing, and suddenly realized that he couldn't polish ink. In later generations, ink was ready-made, and in this era, the only opportunity to start writing was last night, and the ink was also sharpened by Linglong.

Grinding ink also pays attention to skill, and Du He can't do it at all.

He glanced at Li Xueyan beside him and said in a low voice, "Can you help me sharpen my ink?" ”

The children of rich families all have scholars and maids, and there are people who can't grind ink.

Li Xueyan was not surprised, and agreed with a smile.

She stood up and poured a little water into the inkstone, and grinded it skillfully, and in a moment the water and ink blended together, and the shade was moderate.

Du He thanked him and wrote four big characters with a pen.

Li Xueyan looked at the "poof" from the side and laughed.

Four words occupy a large sheet of rice paper.

"Sir, look!" He turned the rice paper around and pointed it at Old Man Kong.

Xiao He eats books!

Four words, regardless of the content, the penmanship is strong and powerful, turning thin and hard into plump and majestic, the body is broad and magnificent, the bone strength is strong and awe-inspiring, and the Tang Dynasty's warm and beautiful strength is far away, but there is no taste.

"Let the old man see!" Old man Kong ran over excitedly, and the speed was not at all like that of a seventy-year-old man.

Princess Changle also exclaimed, looking at the words written by Du He in dismay, and shook her head in disbelief: "Impossible, this is impossible!" ”

Du He wrote regular script, which evolved from Gu Li and originated from the Han Dynasty. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the north and the south were divided, and calligraphy was divided into two schools. The northern calligraphy style, with the legacy of the Han Dynasty, the penmanship is ancient and clumsy, and the style is simple and strict, and the southern calligraphy is more sparse and beautiful, longer than the ruler. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because of regional differences, personal surnames and writing styles were very different. The north book is strong, and the south book is contained, each with its own subtlety, no point up or down.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, regular script had a new development.

By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the art of calligraphy gradually emerged from the legacy of the Six Dynasties and emerged in a new manner. At this time, the regular script can be described by the word "romantic", the penmanship is warm and beautiful, but the lack of momentum is not strong enough.

In the Middle Tang Dynasty, regular script once again made a new breakthrough. Represented by Yan Zhenqing, it has laid a real standard for regular script, set a model, and formed orthodoxy.

Du He's characters have been greatly influenced by Yan Zhenqing, the font is square and dense, the strokes are horizontal and vertical, the pen is strong and round, and the momentum is solemn and majestic, which makes up for the shortcomings of today's regular script, and the realm is far better than today's italics.

Princess Changle is famous for her beauty in the Tang Dynasty and is good at calligraphy and painting, she looks down on Du He, but now Du He's calligraphy is far better than her, and she feels mixed in her heart, and she can't believe it.

As for the old man Kong, he was even more cheering, shouting "Good words, good words!" "It's crazy.

The writing of the brush is slow, so when copying the school rules, Du Hetu is fast, although the writing is good, but the essence of the regular script is not written.

And these four words Du He deliberately wanted to embarrass Xiao He and make him unable to get off the stage, so he wrote with his heart, wrote his own level, and wrote the essence of the regular script of later generations.

Therefore, Old Man Kong only thought that Du He's writing was beautiful at first, but now he lost his mind with excitement.

"Being able to read this kind of calligraphy makes the old man have no regrets in his life." Old man Kong couldn't help himself with excitement, so he came back to his senses for a long time, and respectfully put the "Mobao" in his hand flat on the table.

"Kong Yingda has worshiped Mr., if Mr. does not give up, he will serve Mr. left and right, just to learn Mr. fur." He really went to the end and shook Du Hezuo. Judging by his intentions, he plans to worship Duhe as a teacher.

Du He was stunned, and so were the students in the entire school.

Kong Yingda is nearly seventy years old and is a well-known Confucian in the Tang Dynasty, while Du He is only fifteen years old and is a notorious gentleman.

The gap between the two is huge.

But Kong Yingda's worship is real, and there is no fake.

Du He also panicked for a while, and hurriedly helped him up and said: "Mr. killed me, you are a gentleman, and I can afford to give such a big gift to Du He." ”

This old man Kong said it well, and he didn't want to be nearly seventy years old, and it was not certain who served anyone.

Old man Kong is known for his stubbornness, and if he does not achieve his goal, he will not give up, and he even makes repeated tricks, almost playing tricks.

Du He was also a little moved, although this old man Kong is pedantic, but this desire for culture makes people have to be convinced.

Duhe refused at a young age.

Old man Kong said: "There is no elder or younger, and there is no noble or low, and those who reach the first place are the first." Mr.'s calligraphy is majestic and untouching, better than me, enough to be a teacher. Yingda is sincerely worshipping Mr. as a teacher, and hopes that Mr. will be successful. ”

In the face of Old Man Kong's sincerity, Du He was also a little embarrassed, but let a septuagenarian worship him when he saw him, Du He was really afraid of losing his life.

"That's it, sir, the boy is a shallow learner, and these two words are beautifully written. In the future, you teach me to learn literature, and I will teach you calligraphy, just as Confucius said, 'If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher.' Choose those who are good and follow them, and change those who are not good! 'You and I don't complement each other, so there is no need to make this great gift. ”

He came up with a compromise!

Old man Kong also felt justified when he heard it, so he gave up.

Du He let out a long sigh of relief.

"Sir, can I give this ink treasure to the students to observe?" Old man Kong finally didn't make another big salute, but the word Mr. didn't agree to change his words anyway.

Du He can only let it go, but there is something beautiful in his heart. Kong Yingda can be said to be the first Confucian in the world, and this first Confucian wants to worship himself as a teacher, which shows that he is really a genius.

watched Old Man Kong collect those four words like a treasure.

Du He looked at Xiao He with a strange smile and said jokingly: "Please!" ”

Xiao He's face was blue and white for a while, he didn't want to be teased by Du He, but how could he eat this thick book.

"A joke, Brother Du must not be taken seriously!" The eldest grandson Chong had no choice but to stand up and solve the problem for Xiao He.

The eldest grandson Chong said so, Du Heruo seemed to be small in his temper, glanced at the other party, smiled calmly, and stopped pursuing it.

Du He sat back in his seat, and Fang Yiai whispered his admiration behind him.

Du He ignored him and smiled at Li Xueyan, "Without your grinding ink, I wouldn't have come up with such good words." ”

Li Xueyan glanced at him happily, and said in a low voice: "Poor mouth! But there was an indescribable smile in his expression.

"It's beautiful!" Du He whispered praise, and found that he liked to see her smile more and more.

Li Xueyan heard Du He's admiration, and her face was almost dripping with shame.

Du He no longer teased her, turned to look ahead, and was surprised to find that Princess Changle was looking at him with complicated eyes.

Du Ho reciprocated with an inquiring gaze.

Princess Changle turned her head and ignored it anymore.

Duhe didn't care.

At this time, Kong Yingda had already resumed his lecture, and Du He quickly put his mind on studying.

As his father Du Ruhui said, Kong Yingda's pedantry is something that can never be learned, but his talent is worth learning.

He didn't know that he was making such a fuss today, and he actually made a great calligrapher who inherited the past and the future.
