—— Seeing that his "dead skin" had succeeded, Yang Xi was quite proud in his heart, and followed Yan Zhenqing to his study.

On the desk in the study, a half-written word was thrown there, and on the rice paper, Yang Xi was very familiar with the block letters.

When he was a student in later generations, when he was forced to practice calligraphy by his father, who liked calligraphy, Yang Xi practiced a lot of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy calligraphy, what "Duobao Pagoda Tablet", "Yan Qinli Tablet", "Sacrifice Nephew Manuscript", "Yan Family Temple Tablet", "General Pei Tablet" and other Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy works that have been handed down to later generations have been copied, but it is the first time to really see Yan Zhenqing's true handwriting.

People say words are like their people, Yan Zhenqing's handwriting is almost the same as the character of Yan Zhenqing that Yang Xi knows, if you want to describe it, it is that the character and his surname are very backbone, and there is a spirit that would rather bend. The font on the calligraphy that Yan Zhenqing just wrote half of today perfectly embodies this character.

Yang Xi walked to this half-finished work, carefully observed it for a while, and then said to Yan Zhenqing, who looked helpless on his side: "Yan Gong, it seems that it is really unfortunate that the kid came today, disturbing your writing Yaxing, this work may have been ruined by the visit of me, an uninvited guest, I am really sorry." ”

When the writing interest is strong, if you are disturbed by someone, it is likely that this interest will be ruined, and the inspiration will be gone, and the style of the continued work will be completely different from the previous one. Looking at Yan Zhenqing's demeanor, Yang Xi knew that it was impossible for this calligrapher to continue to finish the unfinished work, so he said sorry first.

Yang Xi's words made Yan Zhenqing stunned, he didn't expect Yang Xi to make this judgment from the performance between his words just now. He really didn't want to write this work that was interrupted by Yang Xi, Yang Xi said it well, but he felt that he couldn't pick it up. However, this is the first work he has done after returning to Beijing, so it's a pity to give up halfway, but he doesn't want to take it again. When Yang Xi said this, he didn't know how to answer.

"Yan Gong, why don't you give this semi-finished work to the boy? How about letting the kid take him back to the house for a temporary fundraising? Yang Xi began to be brazen again.

Yang Xi said this, Yan Zhenqing couldn't be indifferent anymore, looked at his semi-finished work, and finally nodded after thinking about it: "Even if Marshal Yang says this, how can Yan refuse, just give this work to you." If you don't like it one day, throw it in the waste. ”

"Then thank you Yan Gong!" Yang Xi was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. However, he was also a little regretful, he originally thought that Yan Zhenqing would generously give him another pair of written calligraphy and paintings to show a little meaning while agreeing to give him this work that he didn't want to write. Unexpectedly, this great calligrapher didn't mean this, and he also felt a deliberate distance from Yan Zhenqing's performance. But there is no way, many prejudices can only be slowly eliminated, Yang Xi thanked Yan Zhenqing, and paced to watch Yan Zhenqing's other works in the study.

Calligraphy and painting can not be separated, calligraphy is good, and the general paintings will not be bad, Yan Zhenqing has been passed down through the ages mainly because of the reputation of calligraphy, but his paintings are indeed very good. There are a lot of calligraphy and paintings by Yan Zhenqing in the study, which shocked Yang Xi and even made him feel like stealing.

This is a rare treasure, placed in the era before he crossed, every calligraphy and painting can be described as priceless, if the people of that era have a real handiwork of Yan Zhenqing in their hands, take this work to exchange for money, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking for a few lifetimes.

Yang Xi, who knows the value of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy and painting, wants to use a few works as heirlooms, which is understandable.

Yang Xi also found that Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy works are not exactly the same as those calligraphy that he copied in later generations, and he can't say the specifics, but there is a general feeling that this is the case, that is, the words on the calligraphy and paintings look better than the inscriptions copied in later generations.

In later generations, the calligraphy masterpieces left by Yan Zhenqing are all inscriptions, and there should be no calligraphy works, but the inscriptions are engraved by others, and the writing techniques must not be exactly the same as the original author, and it is normal for some to be out of shape. What Yang Xi sees now is all from the pen of Master Yan, there are no fakes, and any one of them is a genuine handiwork that does not need to be identified.

"After appreciating Yan Gong's authentic works, it really made the kid sigh, the kid is not talented, and the distance between him and Yan Gong in calligraphy and painting is more than 108,000 miles," Yang Xi stopped in front of a pair of lines and said to Yan Zhenqing, who was standing beside him, but did not take the initiative to speak: "The kid really wants to learn calligraphy from Yan Gong, I don't know if Yan Gong is willing to teach?" ”

"This ......" Although he knew that Yang Xi must have asked for this aspect today, Yan Zhenqing didn't know how to answer when he really said it. Of course he wanted to refuse, but Yang Xi didn't do anything that disgusted him, and his refusal seemed a little unspeakable.

Yang Xi smiled, walked to the case where Yan Zhenqing practiced calligraphy, took a piece of Yan Zhenqing's waste rice paper, and wrote a poem of his predecessors on it, Wang Changling's "Out of the Stopper", he didn't deliberately show off, but wanted Yan Zhenqing to see his calligraphy style. Wang Changling was killed by the rebel generals when An Lushan's rebellion started, but his song "Out of the Stopper" is already a masterpiece that has been praised by others.

Yan Zhenqing didn't know what Yang Xi wanted to say, so she stood beside her in amazement, watching Yang Xi wave his pen and write. When reading Yang Xi's writing, Yan Zhenqing frowned slightly. Yang Xi's calligraphy can only be described as ordinary in his eyes, and he can't understand why Yang Xi showed calligraphy in front of him. But after watching it twice, I suddenly understood, and I was also very shocked.

"Yan Gong, the kid has been learning your calligraphy art, but he has been unlawful, and he can't even seem to do it, I hope I can get Yan Gong's guidance in the future!" After Yang Xi put down his pen, he respectfully saluted Yan Zhenqing.

Yan Zhenqing already fully understood the meaning of Yang Xi writing such a poem, and Yang Xi wanted to prove that he had been copying the style of his works, but he couldn't do it. Yang Xi's admiration for his calligraphy made Yan Zhenqing a little proud, and he also talked about Yang Xi's deliberate alienation thoughts, and after Yang Xi put down his pen, he immediately pointed out the points that Yang Xi had just written about those points to pay attention to. After some pointing, he finally said: "Marshal Yang, in fact, you are quite talented in calligraphy, as long as you practice hard, you will definitely succeed." ”

After this sentence, he seemed to feel a little abrupt again, and hurriedly said self-deprecatingly: "Marshal Yang has both the way of civil and military cultivation, and he has such achievements in all aspects at a young age, which is really amazing." I really don't dare to advise the marshal ......"

"Yan Gong just deliberately did this!" Yang Xi stood still, staring at Yan Zhenqing with bright eyes, "Yan Gong, I know that it was because of my father's exclusion that you were released as an official. Many of the things my father has done over the years are shameful to you. Because I have prejudices against my father, and I feel the same way, so I don't want to have too much intersection with the boy, right? ”

was broken by Yang Xi's blunt words, Yan Zhenqing was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "Marshal Yang is serious, how can Yan think like this." It's just that I think Marshal Yang is a young man and a talented man with a bright future, and he can't point you out if he has no talent, so he said this, not as Marshal Yang thinks. ”

"Dragons give birth to nine sons, each of them does not become a dragon! I believe that Yan Gong also understands this principle!" Yang Xi looked at Yan Zhenqing with a smile, "I also want to say a word to Yan Gong today, I also know what kind of person my father is, but please Yan Gong don't judge me Yang Xi with my impression of my father." Yang Xi is Yang Xi, Yang Guozhong is Yang Guozhong, there is a very big difference between these two people. I believe that after Yan Gong rebelled, he also saw and heard many things that the kid did, and he will also judge in his heart!"

Yang Xi's more straightforward words stunned Yan Zhenqing, he couldn't have imagined that Yang Xi would say these words to him, and Yang Xi would also direct our Yang Guozhong's name.

What does this mean? Yan Zhenqing couldn't understand it at once, but she didn't dare to express any opinions, she just looked at Yang Xi in a daze.

Seeing that his straightforward words shocked Yan Zhenqing, Yang Xi also put away his demeanor just now, returned to his flatness, and said softly: "Yan Gong, I Yang Xi came to visit you today, I really want to worship you as a teacher, learn calligraphy, and there are many other things I want to ask you for advice from this respected old-timer. ”

Yang Xi knows that Yan Zhenqing's surname is Gengzhi, and when he intersects with such a person, sometimes he bluntly tells his true thoughts, and the effect may be very good, but if he twists and pinchs very tactfully, it will make people confused. When he came over today, he also made up his mind to communicate with Yan Zhenqing in the most sincere way.

Yan Zhenqing continued to be stunned, but she was already thinking quickly about what Yang Xi meant by what she said.

"Yan Gong, today the boy came to visit you, my father didn't know, when the boy recommended Yan Gong to serve in Beijing in front of His Majesty, my father had been very strongly opposed, but in the end, His Majesty still listened to my words as the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, and awarded Yan Gong the post of squire of the school engineering department. I believe that Yan Gong can give better play to his expertise in this position, and I will ask Yan Gong to give me more guidance in the future, I will be grateful!" Yang Xi said, and bowed to Yang Xi very respectfully, "I have seen people's hearts for a long time, and I believe that Yan Gong has already thought what the kid has done before, and he will understand more about what the kid is in the future!"

After Yang Xi finished speaking, he looked at Yan Zhenqing with a faint smile on his face, very calm.

Yan Zhenqing also stared at Yang Xi, and after looking at Yang Xi, he finally smiled: "I like a person with a straight surname like Marshal Yang, and I also believe that Marshal Yang must be a very outstanding person, it is difficult for mortals to reach, Yang Shilang, you ** I will accept it!"

"Thank you, Master!" Yang Xi was overjoyed, immediately knelt in front of Yan Zhenqing, and saluted respectfully, "In the future, the kid hopes to get more teachings from Yan Gong, your master, and the kid must listen attentively!"

Yan Zhenqing's attitude changed, and Yang Xi regarded this as a sign that Yan Zhenqing was willing to help him find things.

He needs more people around him to assist, and Yan Zhenqing is a figure he wants to fight for very much. (To be continued.) )
