Among the gifts given by Qian Shi, there is a volume of Zhang Xu's regular script calligraphy. Zhang Xu not only has unparalleled cursive writing, but also writes very well in regular script and line script.

Li Ang is now practicing calligraphy, and after getting Zhang Xu's regular script copybook, he likes it very much. He laid the notebook on the table and immediately began to copy it.

Li Ang was very happy there, and Liu Feixu was serving Mo on the side, glancing at him from time to time.

She has a graceful figure, beautiful appearance, and a quiet temperament, with thin and long willow eyebrows, and a kind of beauty that is naturally carved out of hibiscus on her face without rouge.

Li Ang copied more than a dozen pieces of paper, used two inkstones, and Liu Feixu also looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it. It happened that Leon lifted up and saw that she wanted to stop talking, so he asked, "What?" Got something to say? ”

"Son-of-law...... The servant didn't dare. Liu Feixu was a little afraid to look at him, and hurriedly lowered his head, revealing his slender pink neck, as if carved from white jade.

Li Ang dipped the ink and said, "Forgive you for your innocence, just say anything." ”

Liu Feixu glanced at him, and after making sure that he was very calm, he said with a smile: "Lang Jun, this ....... that maid has the courage to say, Lang Jun ......"

"Say it, say it, don't squeak, waste my time."

"Lang Jun, you ...... You copy it like that...... It's also a waste of time......"

"Huh?" Leon looked up again at her.

Liu Feixu was so frightened that he knelt down, and asked for sins again and again: "Lang Jun forgives his sins, Lang Jun forgives his sins." ”

"If you don't tell me why, I'm going to punish you." Leon glared at her.

Liu Feixu couldn't care much about it, and hurriedly said: "Lang Jun, everyone who copies the calligraphy has some skills. Before writing, first of all, we must carefully observe the stroke, rhyme, style, interest, and spirit of the copybook. Think again and again, clearly imprint the form and rhyme of the original script in your mind, and then start writing, so that you will quickly achieve something;

In addition, when you use the pen to copy, your own posture, the strength of the pen, etc. It is necessary to master well, master the sensitivity and stability of the center, paving, and adjusting the edge of the brush, and be familiar with the performance characteristics of the pen, ink and paper;

The servant shouldn't be too talkative, just look at Lang Jun copying like this, don't pay attention to it, just look at its shape, don't know its meaning, I'm afraid it's half the effort, the maid ......... Lang Jun forgives ....... sins"

Seeing Li Ang looking at her steadily. Liu Feixu was a little scared again, and hurriedly pleaded guilty again.

Li Ang suddenly laughed and said, "That's right, not bad, not bad!" What's more, Feifu, you hurry up and listen to it. I'm worried that there is no one to guide me, and it is difficult to make progress, haha...... It seems that it was really worth it to buy you for a hundred times. ”

Liu Feixu laughed loudly when he saw him. The expression is joyful, and the mood relaxes.

She continued: "Lang Jun. The servant only knows a little bit about it, Lang Jun wants the servant to say, but the servant doesn't dare not say it. From the point of view of the servant, with Lang Jun's level, he should start by copying the seal book first.

The penmanship of the seal script is simple, and the center is mainly translated. The structure is also relatively simple, which allows Lang Jun to lay a solid foundation in the most basic techniques to achieve the so-called three requirements, that is, legislation, bones, and three-dimensional. Legislation is a source of writing, and a strong pen is a strong writing. Three-dimensional is evenly balanced;

After having the foundation of seal script, and then to the official script or regular script, you can solve the enrichment and change of penmanship. Lishu is on the basis of the translation of the addition of swing and turn of the pen, and the regular script is on the basis of the emphasis on the press. Once you have mastered these two techniques, you will look for different styles and different techniques until you finally form your own style. ”

After listening to Liu Feixu's words, Li Ang knew that he was still a layman, he handed the pen to Liu Feixu and said, "Feixu, you come and copy a paste for me to see." ”

"The servant doesn't dare to make a mistake."

"Less nonsense, you've already made it, write quickly!"

As the two of them were talking about this, they heard Xiaoxue report outside the door: "Lang Jun, the little lady of the Xiao family outside the door asks to see you." ”

"Xiao Luan is here? Xiaoxue, go and lead Mrs. Xiao to the study. ”

"Yes, Lang Jun."

Xiaoxue took Xiao Luan to the study, and Li Ang happened to be drinking a cup of tea;

In his own home, Li Ang will no longer add messy things such as green onions, ginger and lard to the tea, but just use boiling water to drink.

Although it is not as delicious as the tea leaves of later generations due to the difference in tea making technology, it is at least much better than adding those messy things to the tea.

"Mrs. Xiao, please come in, warm your hands first." Li Ang greeted with a smile.

It was overcast outside, and it was about to snow. Xiao Luan is dressed in a purple and white-edged mink fur, graceful and luxurious. Liu Feixu brought the hand stove and let Xiao Luan roast it, while Li Ang poured a cup of tea and handed it to her personally.

"Thank you, Li Lang." Xiao Luan smiled gently, Li Ang didn't go out to greet her, but personally served tea and water, and there was warmth in the casualness, which made people feel very good.

Li Ang sat back at the desk and said, "Okay, Mrs. Xiao quickly taste my tea, I hope you can get used to it, hehe......"

Xiao Luan took a sip, only to feel that her tongue was astringent, and she frowned slightly and said, "Doesn't Li Lang cook without condiments?" ”

Li Ang smiled: "Cooking with condiments is not drinking tea, but destroying tea." The word tea, from the grass from the wood, which absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, itself comes with sweetness, only need to take the sweet spring on the fire, draw out its taste, but it is a pity that the laity understand this. Xiao Niangzi took another sip, and then waited for a while to taste it, and then knew that it was sweet and clear to the heart. ”

Xiao Luan took another sip, and then carefully aftertasted it according to his words, pouring less, it was really bitter and sweet, full of fragrance, and it penetrated the heart.

She couldn't help but say happily: "Sure enough, as Li Lang said, it has a sweet and clear taste, and it has a long aftertaste." Li Lang, let me see your tea leaves. ”

"I am not used to drinking the so-called tea cooked with ingredients, so when I was in Jiannan, I asked people to pick some tea buds for trial production, first to dry and finish, and then ...... By the way, Mrs. Xiao is visiting today, but what's the matter? ”

Xiao Luan glanced at him and said angrily: "If you don't say it, I won't say it either." ”

It is rare to see her as such a little daughter, Li Ang was very happy, laughed, and the result was so happy and sad, he leaned back and accidentally overturned the inkstone, and the thick ink of the inkstone flowed all over the table.

"Oh my God!"

Li Ang shouted, and hurriedly turned around to rescue the copybook on the table, but unfortunately it was already a step too late, Zhang Xu's copybook had been stained with ink.

Li Ang was so distressed that he hoped to come up with a remedy around the notebook, but how could he remedy it if the thick ink was stained?

Xiao Luan came over to comfort him: "Li Lang, forget it, I'll give you another one." ”

"What's the same, this is the calligraphy of the grass saint Zhang Xu, it's a genuine handiwork! Do you know how rare it is? Money may not be able to buy it. ”

Xiao Luan could see that Li Ang was really distressed, and when she reluctantly said goodbye and left, Li Ang was still annoyed about the copy.

White snowflakes began to drift in the sky, and the entire Chang'an City was soon shrouded in a vast snowy scene, and the pedestrians on the street became hurried and rushed home.

Xiao Luan was a little disappointed in his heart, and when he talked about the method of making tea, Li Ang changed the topic as soon as he started, which shows that he still has a strong wariness of himself in his heart.

That's it, for the sake of a note, he just hummed when he said goodbye.

Looking at the pedestrians rushing home in the wind and snow, Xiao Luan walked out of Chongrenfang, and he didn't want to go home, but in such weather, where could he go? Xiao Luan's heart was full of dazedness.

"Perhaps, Zhang Xu's notebook is really important to him." Xiao Luan comforted herself.

When I returned to the East Market Moyun Liuxiang Bookstore, there were still many readers buying books, and the books here were the lowest prices in the city, and half lower, and the drums of the market were not closed every day, and the store was full of customers.

Xiao Luan dismounted in front of the door, patted the snowflakes flying on her shoulders, and after two pats, she suddenly stopped moving, because she heard the readers in the store just talking about Zhang Xu.

If it was usual, Xiao Luan didn't care about Zhang Xu and Li Xu, but today she was very concerned, and took the initiative to ask: "This Lang Jun is invited, take the liberty to disturb you, you just said that Zhang Xu and Zhang Chang are in Zhongnan Mountain, but is it true?" ”

The scholar in the store saw that a great beauty who had captivated the country and the city came up to talk, and was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Does the little lady want to find Zhang Change?" ”

"Exactly, please also ask Lang Jun to inform Zhang Changshi's residence, the little woman is grateful." Xiao Luan is blessed.

The scholar said: "The day before yesterday, I went to a banquet in Li Miao, Li Yushi, Fanchuan Villa, and Zhang Changshi was also a guest. When the wine was drunk, Zhang Changshi also splashed ink on the spot and won a full house. As far as I know, Zhang Changshi's seclusion is not far from Li Yushi's Fanchuan Courtyard. ”

"Thank you Lang Jun for your advice." Xiao Luan said goodbye, then went out and got on the horse, and went to the south gate with a few entourages.

The area of Fan Chuan under Zhongnan Mountain, in the early Han Dynasty, was the fief of the famous general Fan Xu, so it was named Fan Chuan.

Later generations, especially in the Tang Dynasty, became a place where nobles and celebrities lived, and princes and nobles, celebrities and hermits competed to build separate courtyards on both sides of the Fanchuan River.

Zhongnan Mountain is very close to Chang'an, and the landscape is beautiful. For those who live in seclusion, it is easy for their remarks to spread to the upper echelons, so after many people are disappointed in officialdom, they live in seclusion at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

It is precisely because of this that there is the idiom of the shortcut to the south.

Thinking of Li Ang's distressed look for that calligraphy, Xiao Luan resolutely took a trip to Fanchuan. She took a few followers out of Qixiamen, and galloped all the way south.

In order to get to Fanchuan as soon as possible, Xiao Luan continued to speed up the horse, and the wind and snow hit people in pain, and the horses in the running kept spraying hot air and neighing.

"Lady, why don't we change cars, it's too cold to ride a horse in such a big snowstorm."

"No, it's too slow." After Xiao Luan finished speaking, he covered his face with his sleeve and whipped it on the horse's buttocks.

In the white wind and snow, the nine horsemen rushed to the sound of hooves, and soon disappeared into the wind and snow.
