Chapter 051: Watching the Peach Blossoms and Realizing the Book
A trace of confusion flashed on Li Ding's face, but then he was at ease, although the Zhang family had a little money, it was not more than his Li family, and if it wasn't for him Li Ding, Lu Min would not have come to the Zhang family for the banquet at all, and Liu Xiu would naturally not appear here, even if he came, if he didn't look at his Li Ding's face, Liu Xiu might not be able to write a book on the spot.
Although this is a bit of a good copy, Li Ding really liked this work, and subconsciously asked for it, and it was not appropriate to change his words now. He was just a little strange, Liu Yuanqi's son heard that he had been stupid all along, when did he practice such good calligraphy?
"Deran, what kind of Master did your father give you?" Li Ding turned a blind eye to Zhang Fei's eyes that were about to breathe fire, and said to Liu Xiu gently. Liu Bei saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel sad for a while, Li Ding had never been so polite to him before, as for seeing Liu Xiu...... That's just like I didn't see it, but I didn't expect it to change today. Thinking of this, he raised his hand and touched his eyebrows, and remained silent.
"There are no famous teachers. Sick for a few months, can't go out to play, can only watch the rain leak on the wall, somehow, realized some of the meaning, but for a while I didn't understand too much, and then came to Peach Valley, saw the peach in the valley, this was suddenly cheerful. Liu Xiu bowed very solemnly and said: "Speaking of which, thank you Li Jun a lot, if it weren't for Li Jun's recommendation, Xuande and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to worship under Master Lu, if we don't enter Master Lu, naturally we won't be able to see the peach blossoms of Peach Valley, let alone have a small achievement in calligraphy." ”
The calligraphy of the Han Dynasty is based on the official book of the seal, the main book, the line of the book and the cursive script as the vulgar book has appeared, but its basic brushwork is still with the meaning of the subordination, in the knot is not rigorous, the pen and ink are also biased towards the simple all the way, since then has been in the structure and brushwork to explore, until Wang Xi's father and son were born, especially Wang Xianzhi changed his father to the simple brushwork and show the beauty of femininity, this is the opening of a generation of calligraphy, the limelight is close to his father, the father and son lead the way and scratch the wind, resisting for more than 300 years.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, because the emperor Li Shimin liked Wang Xizhi and was highly sought after, Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy was deprecated, and the style of calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty took Wang Xizhi's simplicity as the mainstream, and further explored the structure until the development of a rigorous regular script. The structure of calligraphy has reached its peak when it reached the Tang Dynasty, and the Song people could not make a breakthrough again, so they could only innovate from the taste of pen and ink again. After the Tang and Song dynasties, there was no breakthrough in calligraphy. Tang Bohu's calligraphy has both a rigorous structure and a beautiful strength, which is unique among the calligraphers of the Ming Dynasty, but it is hidden by the name of the painting, and not many people know it.
Liu Xiu wrote a beautiful Tang Bohu calligraphy, not to mention that most calligraphers in the Han Dynasty were still in the stage of more quality than Yan, even in the Song Dynasty, which paid the most attention to the taste of pen and ink, it was also outstanding, so that Lu Zhi, Lu Min and Li Ding and others were dazzled and amazed, which was expected.
Li Ding raised his eyebrows and stroked his beard silently. Liu Xiu's words sound very mysterious, but Li Ding doesn't think so, although calligraphy and painting are small ways, but the emphasis on understanding the surname is well known, often impossible to get anywhere, Li Ding himself has such an experience, so he doesn't think Liu Xiu is nonsense, although he thinks that with Liu Xiu's qualifications it seems impossible to realize this, but Liu Xiu attributed all these to him, and let him be happy, but also have no heart to investigate the truth behind this.
He pondered for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand and modestly patted Liu Xiu's shoulder, a little ashamed: "Deran, the enlightened person realizes himself, what does it have to do with others?" That's your chance. In this way, in the past ten years, you have been like a piece of jade hidden in the stone, and it is not until today that you have accumulated a lot of money and become a blockbuster, I ...... Alas, I'm ashamed to call myself a celebrity, but I can't see you. ”
Liu Xiu was a little surprised. He actually didn't like Li Ding, not only because Li Ding was snobbish, but also because he felt that Li Ding was not very reliable in looking at people, Liu Bei's eyebrows were broken, and his life changed? This is too mysterious, so his eyebrows were smashed by the woman with clogs, will it affect his fate? However, at this moment, Li Dingneng said that he had looked away in front of so many people, and he was still a little surprised - because Li Ding didn't look away, the previous "he" may really be a stone, and there was no jade in it, and he could see that Liu Bei, who was also a village boy, had a future, even if it was Meng, it would have to be a little lucky--In his impression in his previous life, the more people with status, the more unwilling they were to admit their mistakes, let alone in front of others.
This alone made him have a slight impression of Li Ding.
"By the way, I still have a question, I want to ask Deran...... Narration commentary. Li Ding took Liu Xiu's hand and said sincerely: "You said that you can understand the brushwork by seeing the leaks, and knowing the beauty by seeing the peach blossoms, I can understand this, but just like this, it doesn't seem to be enough for you to make such a big progress, right?" ”
Liu Xiu is confident, he has already thought of the answer to this question, but he has never found a suitable opportunity, and this opportunity is undoubtedly the most suitable at the moment. He glanced at Lu Min, who was sitting in a precarious position, and said timidly: "Actually...... It also has something to do with Mr. Lu. ”
Lu Min raised his head in surprise: "Me? ”
"And Lingzun." Liu Xiu met the surprised eyes of Li Ding and others, and said with a little restraint: "Mr. Father and son are polite, dignified and steady, and I have realized that the knot should be stable and impartial, so as to conform to the golden mean." ”
"Oh-" Li Ding suddenly realized, looked at Lu Min, who hadn't figured it out yet, and suddenly laughed. Yes, Lu's father and son talk about etiquette, and they are always upright and gentlemen, as stable as the stone of Mount Tai, which is indeed somewhat similar to the steadiness of calligraphy. Just using this as a metaphor, it seems to be a bit ...... Some are unimaginable. Li Ding thought of the wonderful thing and couldn't help laughing.
Although Lu Min was a little embarrassed, Liu Xiu's words did not mean to belittle, his calligraphy was stable and proper, and it was indeed easy to remind people of the calmness of a gentleman. He smiled and shook his head.
Li Ding was in a very good mood, and encouraged Liu Xiu a few more words, and then returned to the table. Zhang Fei took a lot of trouble and asked Liu Xiu to write a word, but was snatched away by Li Ding, and originally wanted to ask Liu Xiu to paint another beautiful woman for his own figure, but when he saw Liu Xiu finish writing, he went straight back to the hall, and he didn't have the intention to wave it again, and it was not easy to force it, so he had to press his thirst and think of other ways. He secretly glanced at Liu Bei, and when he saw Liu Bei looking at the direction of Kabuki, he couldn't help but smile secretly, and said in his heart It seems that this matter has to fall on Liu Bei.
How did he know that Liu Bei was not thinking about that kabuki at all now, but was very depressed by Li Ding's ignorance. Liu Xiu pulled him forward to toast, but Li Ding only pulled Liu Xiu to speak, and didn't even look at him from beginning to end, and then Liu Xiu wrote a book again, stealing the limelight by himself, and he completely became a bystander, which made him feel confused and empty.
Everyone talked about literature and art, the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious, after the banquet, the wine and meat were removed, and the fragrant tea was replaced, Lu Min, Li Ding, and Zhang Butcher wanted to discuss the real purpose of the banquet, and Liu Xiu was inconvenient for them to be around, so Zhang Fei led them to the side courtyard. Zhang Fei has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and enthusiastically led the way in front, and said as he walked: "Brother Deran, it seems that you are very fond of the peach blossoms of the Mao family's manor." ”
Liu Xiu nodded quietly.
"Brother Tai doesn't know, my study is also in the peach orchard, speaking of which, the varieties in my peach orchard are not less than those of the Mao family, but unfortunately, the climate here is not as good as in the mountains, and most of the peach blossoms have fallen." Zhang Fei said regretfully: "When the flowers bloom next year, I must invite my brother to enjoy the light, come to enjoy the flowers and drink, and talk about calligraphy and painting." ”
"Yide Meiyi, I understand it." Liu Xiu followed Zhang Fei into a courtyard, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen peach trees, but it was almost the end of summer, and the flowers had already fallen, and only one green peach was hidden among the green leaves.
"Hehehe, in fact, you don't need to wait until next year, in another month, the peaches will be ripe, although eating peaches is not as elegant as enjoying the flowers, but it is also affordable." Zhang Fei said with a smile: "When the time comes, it will be a beautiful thing to drink with peaches." ”
Liu Xiu smiled, did not answer, followed Zhang Fei into a small building, two maidservants came out, one of them was the beauty in the painting who led the dance just now, as soon as he saw Zhang Fei and others, he quickly knelt down and saluted: "Young master, everything is ready." ”
"You're waiting." Zhang Fei waved his hand majestically, then changed his expression, and politely stretched out his hand to ask: "Brother Deran, please, give me more valuable advice." ”
Liu Xiu climbed the stairs and looked around, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. The three walls of the hall are full of hanging beauties, most of them are beauties of various postures, mixed with several calligraphy works, there are three bookcases in the hall, one of which is a wide bookcase, on which has been placed pen, ink and paper inkstone, light yellow cocoon paper glows with a soft finish.
