Liu Xiu lowered his face and scolded: "Xuande! ”

Liu Bei was startled, quickly shrunk his neck, and muttered in a low voice: "It's just a maidservant." Seeing that Liu Xiu's face was not good, he had to swallow back the words behind, feeling very sorry and a little aggrieved, he was the only one who scolded Liu Xiu like this before, but now it is Liu Xiu who comes to scold him, this feeling is very bad.

Strange, why didn't Yuan Qi Abel react to such a big change in his eldest brother? Liu Bei thought while eating meat with his head down.

When Zhang Fei saw Liu Xiu reprimanding Liu Bei, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to mention the matter of sending people away. He glanced at the aggrieved Liu Bei, and suddenly had an idea.

At this moment, Li Ding held a wine glass and smiled at Liu Xiu in the hall: "Deran, why are you sitting in the hall?" ”

When Liu Xiu looked at it, he remembered that he should go up to toast, and hurriedly gestured to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was a little embarrassed, Li Ding only spoke to Liu Xiu, he didn't seem to be suitable to get together, although he felt that Li Ding should call him first, but the facts were in front of him, and he couldn't do it if he was unwilling.

"It doesn't matter, my brother has always been together." Liu Xiu said: "Hurry up, don't let the division commanders wait for a long time." ”

Liu Bei was grateful, hurriedly picked up the wine glass and got up, followed Liu Xiu up to the hall, first toasted Lu Min, then toasted Li Ding, and finally toasted to Butcher Zhang. Butcher Zhang looked at Liu Xiu carefully, smiled heartily, took the wine glass and drank it all, then wiped his beard, and said with some surprise: "Li Jun, this is the little Langjun of Brother Yuanqi's family?" ”

"Can't think of it, right?" Li Ding said with some pride in his expression: "Such a heroic young man, but he writes calligraphy with a very beautiful hand, it is not as simple as a martial artist, and it is not surprising that Lang has always been in love." In the future, I won't say that Ling Lang is not a material for learning, there is beauty in front, how can I not take a step behind. ”

Butcher Zhang hurriedly shook his hand and said modestly: "Hahaha, how dare my little dog be compared with this little Langjun, thanks to Li Jun's refusal to give up the word, it is already the luck of my Zhang family's ancestors, if I can ask Xiao Langjun for a lesson or two, then I will be grateful." ”

Li Ding smiled slightly: "What's so difficult about this, Deran was grown up by me, and I have a very good relationship with his father, now I will be cheeky and order him to make a move, I think Deran will not give me a little thin noodles." ”

In the end, he looked at Liu Xiu with a smile, his eyes were full of confidence, and he couldn't refuse.

Liu Xiu had already guessed that today's banquet was not so simple, this drama would come sooner or later, and Li Ding's face would definitely have to be given, but it couldn't be so easy for Zhang Fei to satisfy his wish. He owed to Li Ding and Butcher Zhang, and said respectfully: "Thanks to Li Jun's praise, the kid is ashamed." The elders have a life, they dare not disobey, and they ask the teachers for their advice. ”

Li Ding listened, and glanced at Butcher Zhang proudly, which means that what do you think, I said no problem, no problem.

Butcher Zhang was overjoyed and consulted Lu Min's opinion again. Although Lu Min didn't like this, he also knew that now was the time to ask for someone, so he couldn't help but make concessions, not to mention that this was not for him to perform, so he gave Liu Xiu a look apologetically.

Liu Xiu nodded in understanding.

The Zhang family had already prepared, Lu Min nodded, and Zhang Fei, who had already stretched his neck to look at the hall, jumped over, waved his hand to order the kabuki under the hall to retreat, and called for a quick lift of the bookcase. Two servants brought a bookcase, two maidservants respectively sent pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other stationery, Zhang Fei knelt on the side, grinding ink himself. Maybe a little excited, he grinded fast and squeaked.

"Brother Yide, grinding ink is like a sick man." Liu Xiu reminded softly.

"Huh?" Zhang Fei didn't understand for a while, and looked up at Liu Xiu, the pimples on his face were a little red.

Liu Xiu took the ink stone from his hand, slowly grinded it, and said while grinding: "When grinding ink, when it is gentle and round, the water is not agitated, like a sick man, the ink surname of grinding is pure, otherwise the fire is too full, and the pen and ink written are not calm enough." ”

This truth is very mysterious, in fact, it is not the case, when grinding the ink should be slower, one is afraid of hurting the inkstone, the ink is mixed with ink particles, and the second is that the process of grinding ink is actually a process of meditation and beating the draft.

However, this is not the case to others. Butcher Zhang was inexplicable and confused, but Zhang Fei understood a little bit of it, bringing a look of worship, even Li Ding and Lu Min listened to it, and nodded frequently, feeling that there was indeed some truth, as if there were some secret symbols with the meaning of the saint.

The so-called art is this benefit, you can say it in a foggy way, not sure at all, how much you can understand, it all depends on your own associative ability, of course, if you can't understand anything, it may be that he actually didn't say anything, the problem is that the listener doesn't dare to think so, he will only feel that his level is not enough.

Zhang Fei took the ink stone again, grinding the ink according to Liu Xiu's appearance, as soon as this action calmed down, the young man who originally looked like he was jumping off also had a sense of stability, Zhang Butcher had never seen his son like this, after a moment of stunned, his thick black eyebrows jumped, and he secretly thanked his ancestors and ancestors, it seems that the Zhang family is really going to be a literati, and it is no longer a businessman with a few stinky money.

Liu Xiu has been sitting quietly, facing the cocoon paper unfolded by the two beautiful maidservants, his eyes are hanging down, as if he is asleep, as if the old monk is in a meditation, and he has not seen several different meanings cast on him, until Zhang Fei polishes the ink and respectfully hands the pen to him, he opened his eyes and took the pen.

With a stroke in hand, Liu Xiu suddenly seemed to be about to fight, the whole spirit was changed, he pressed the edge of the paper with one hand, held the pen with one hand, and then dropped the pen like the wind after a short stay, the pen was like a dragon and snake, and a line of delicate and beautiful calligraphy flowed out from the pen, but for a moment, a hearty calligraphy was displayed in front of everyone.

Zhang Fei was overjoyed, carefully took the paper, and read softly:

"Peach Blossom Valley in Peach Blossom Mountain, Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Valley. The Peach Blossom Fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms in exchange for wine money. When you wake up, you only sit under the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep under the flowers. Half-drunk and half-awake said that the flowers fell and bloomed year after year. ”

This is the first four couplets of Tang Bohu's peach blossom poem, the meaning is half incomplete, and the language of this poem is almost vernacular, and there is no elegance that literati like, so Liu Xiu's writing is also in line with his current level of learning, and no one is surprised. He put down his pen, bowed down and smiled lightly at Lu Min and the others, and said with some embarrassment: "I have been in Peach Valley for more than half a month, and I occasionally slang a few sentences. ”

Lu Min savored it for a moment, then turned his head to Li Ding and said, "Although these few sentences are plain, they also have a bit of a casual and indifferent taste. It's just that Deran, you are still young, and it is the time to contribute to the country, when you are committed to learning, this drunk and lying under the peach blossoms, it is not too late to talk about it when you become famous and return to old age. ”

Liu Xiu nodded hurriedly: "Mr. is taught." ”

Li Ding glanced at Lu Min and smiled, saying in his heart that although Lu Zhi is very knowledgeable, he is not easy to resign, it seems that it is not a lie, and it can be seen from his son. But he said it well, Liu Xiu's poems are very shallow, although the artistic conception is leisurely, but it is not what a person of his age should have, it is too decadent, if he says it himself, it is almost the same - Li Ding and Lu Min are not the same people after all, he is not a scholar, he is a celebrity, and a celebrity naturally wants to talk about the chic demeanor of a celebrity, and these poems are quite in line with Li Ding's appetite.

It's just that Lu Min commented in front of him, and he couldn't object outright, but nodded with a smile and echoed: "Deran, Mr. has very high expectations for you, and you can't live up to Mr.'s love." Don't write this kind of poetry in the future, and let me keep it for fun. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand to Zhang Fei honestly and unceremoniously: "Yide, you hurry up and observe, I'll take it away later, if you want to see it again, you can go to my house, you have to bring a few urns of good wine." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Fei dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, he couldn't slander himself in his heart, what a celebrity, he actually robbed it openly.
