Although Xiao Shenyan and Xiao Mo, Xiao Shenxing, and the Liu family all live in the Xiao family's compound, because of the relationship between the Liu family, Xiao Shenyan has rarely taken the initiative to go to the courtyard where Xiao Mo and others live this year, and even if there is something, he will let his subordinates pass the word on his behalf. (This book is reproduced from the Pick-up Literature Network) {}

And this time, Xiao Shenyan was excited, but he forgot the scruples in his heart for a while, and walked quickly towards the courtyard where Xiao Mo lived.

The subordinates of the Xiao family looked at the fourth master Xiao Shenyan's face was slightly red, and they seemed to be extremely excited, and quickly rushed towards the courtyard where the Liu family was, thinking that Xiao Shenyan had a dispute with the Liu family again, and they all fled far away for a while, and they didn't dare to get close at all.

And the reason why Xiao Shenyan was so excited was that from the progress of Xiao Mo's calligraphy in the past six months, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Although there is little hope, once it is realized, it will benefit Xiao Mo and the entire Xiao family endlessly.

That's self-created calligraphy.

Calligraphy, in this era, is not only an art, but also a culture, and even a status symbol. Its status in the literary world is far better than that of piano and chess, and to put it in detail, a person with superb calligraphy skills, his status in the eyes of the world, and his Cheng dù, who is respected by the world, are no less than Li Bai Dufu such a famous poet and lyricist.

In addition to his own calligraphy ability, a more important indicator to evaluate whether a literati's calligraphy achievements are superb or not, is whether the literati has ever created a calligraphy font that belongs to him!!

The reason why the four masters of the Tang Dynasty, Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan, and Zhao Mengfu, are respected by the world and almost deified, is it really because their calligraphy is incomparable? Not to mention the current Great Chu, just the literati of their contemporaries, there are Wen Jia, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and others, whose calligraphy is not inferior to them.

And the reason why they are called the four masters of calligraphy is because they have created four unique calligraphy fonts such as "European Style", "Yan Style", "Liu Style" and "Zhao Style" to circulate in the world.

Where these calligraphy fonts were created, their ideas were just like Xiao Mo, just to find a font that was most suitable for their writing, but these calligraphy styles were imitated by countless people, so that countless descendants practiced hard day and night.

Since these four people can create their own fonts, why can't Xiao Mo? After all, Xiao Mo's four different fonts have already shown signs of initial integration of various families, and they also have their unique characteristics.

Of course, if calligraphy wants to be truly unique, it is not only extremely difficult, it requires incomparable wisdom and hard work, but also needs the cooperation of chance and environment.

However, any effort and attempt is okay compared to its gains.

Because, once Xiao Mo's original calligraphy is truly formed and recognized by the world, then Xiao Mo himself will become the top literati in Dachu, not to mention, the Xiao family will also become a famous family in Dachu because of Xiao Mo. And the descendants of the Xiao family, even if it is hundreds of years later, will be looked down upon by others, and no one dares to embarrass them for officials and businessmen.

For example, the Liu family of Liu Gongquan, although it has gone through the chaos of the Later Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it is still the top famous family in Great Chu at this time, and even has a marriage with the royal family.

Thinking of this, even though Xiao Shenyan has always boasted of being calm, he was also inexplicably excited, just for an almost impossible possibility.

But this possibility is one of Xiao Shenyan's biggest pursuits in his life!!

came to the small courtyard where Xiao Mo, Xiao Shenxing, Liu and others lived, and without waiting for the next person to report, Xiao Shenyan quickly came to Xiao Mo's house.

At this time, after Xiao Mo finished dinner, he was standing at the desk as usual, practicing his four-like font, half a year like a day, without interruption.

It's not that Xiao Mo is diligent, it's just that he feels that when he writes this kind of font, his mind and body are very comfortable, and what others need great perseverance to stick to is like rest or even enjoyment for him.

Xiao Yi was grinding ink for Xiao Mo, and when he saw Xiao Shenyan's appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned, and just wanted to remind Xiao Mo, but his action was interrupted by Xiao Shenyan shaking his hand.

At this moment, Xiao Mo is still indulging in his own calligraphy world, moving his wrist and brush, and in a moment he has written half a piece of rice paper, with a hint of happiness and satisfaction in his expression. But there is no appearance of Xiao Shenyan.

When Xiao Shenyan saw such a scene, he walked to Xiao Mo's side lightly and watched Xiao Mo write carefully.

The handwriting is still ugly and weird, but in Xiao Shenyan's eyes, it feels very different from usual, and looking at Xiao Mo who is concentrating at the moment, Xiao Shenyan only feels that the absurd idea in his heart is three points more likely to be realized.

"Xiao Yi, change the paper."

After a tea time, the handwriting of the four dislikes was already covered with a piece of rice paper, Xiao Mo said.

However, Xiao Yi did not respond to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo felt strange in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw that Xiao Shenyan had stood in front of him without knowing when, with a smile on his face.

To be honest, after half a year, he was used to Xiao Shenyan's angry appearance, and seeing Xiao Shenyan's smile at this moment, Xiao Mo always felt extremely weird.

"Fourth grandfather, why are you here?"

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Xiao Mo still put down the pen in his hand, came to Xiao Shenyan, bowed and asked.

On the other side, Xiao Yi had already served a cup of tea.

Xiao Shenyan sat behind the desk, took a sip of tea in his mouth, then looked up at Xiao Mo for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Mo'er, are you eight years old?" ”

Xiao Mo's heart became more and more strange, secretly guessing Xiao Shenyan's purpose, and replied: "Yes, fourth grandfather, grandson celebrated his eighth birthday three months ago. ”

…… At that time, you were still fighting with me, and not only did you not participate in the family reunion that day, but also wrote a crooked poem "I don't listen to the elders when I am young, and I mourn when I am happy and old" to anger me......

While answering, Xiao Mo secretly added in his heart.

"Good age, good age, at this age, as long as you work hard, everything is possible."

Xiao Shenyan touched his beard and sighed, his words had no beginning or end, and his expression was weird, which made Xiao Mo even more strange.

Xiao Shenyan ignored Xiao Mo's thoughts, and just continued to ask: "Mo'er, what did you think when you created this kind of calligraphy?" What is your calligraphy based on? ”

Xiao Mo thought that Xiao Shenyan was going to find an opportunity to reprimand and beat him again, but this time the tactics were a little different from the past, and it seemed that he was going to convince people to move forward in a roundabout way, so he sighed secretly, prepared for the upcoming debate in his heart, and at the same time told Xiao Shenyan about his thoughts at that time and the emergence of these four different fonts.

It's just that, for the basis for the creation of the four different fonts, Xiao Mo not only proposed "willow style" and "wild grass", but also said some of the characteristics of the "thin gold body" added to it as his own ideas.

Just when Xiao Mo was about to meet Xiao Shenyan's questioning, he was extremely surprised, Xiao Shenyan's face was full of relief, and he said a few "yes" in a row, and then pondered on his own.

This frightened Xiao Mo, thinking that his behavior in the past six months had stimulated Xiao Shenyan, and he wondered if he wanted to admit his mistake to Xiao Shenyan.

In this way, Xiao Shenyan pondered, Xiao Mo was puzzled, and Xiao Yi did not dare to interject, and the room was quiet.

After about a stick of incense, Xiao Shenyan suddenly raised his head and said to Xiao Mo: "Mo'er, you don't have to practice Yan Ti in the future, but the copying homework you give me in the future can no longer be your four-like font." ”

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Mo asked strangely.

But seeing Xiao Shenyan's rare seriousness at the moment, he said: "Mo'er, since you want to find a font that is most suitable for your own writing, then I won't stop you, Fourth Grandpa, but your behavior is undoubtedly creating your own font, so the temporary post course I arranged before can't continue." From today onwards, the thirty calligraphy notes you have handed over to me every day have changed from Yan Ti to the most basic regular script. And at the two hours in the morning, you also have to follow me to practice regular script. ”

After a pause, Xiao Shenyan continued: "Self-created fonts are different from practicing calligraphy, if you practice calligraphy, you can choose to practice the font you want to practice if you have a little achievement in italics, but if you want to create your own calligraphy font, then the most basic italic calligraphy you must be extremely proficient, because all fonts are evolved from the most basic italics. ”

Hearing Xiao Shenyan's words, Xiao Mo's body shook slightly, these days he has been practicing writing every day, but the four unlike the font have rarely improved, and there is always a sense of powerlessness when writing, and he always feels that something is missing.

Although he didn't know why Xiao Shenyan suddenly changed his attitude, Xiao Mo still sincerely bowed to Xiao Shenyan and thanked him.

Xiao Shenyan smiled and nodded, looked at the stack of papers on the desk full of four different fonts, seemed to think of something, and said: "Although this kind of font is not even a prototype now, it is created by the descendants of my Xiao family, and from now on, it will be called 'Xiao Ti'." ”

Xiao Mo also smiled slightly, and at this moment, seeing that Xiao Shenyan no longer objected, but supported it vigorously, a stone in his heart was finally put down, and he also said with a smile: "As the fourth grandfather said, it will be called 'Xiao Ti' from now on." ”

Until this moment, Xiao Mo still didn't realize what he was doing and what he represented, after all, he still lacked an intuitive understanding of this era.

But Xiao Shenyan didn't say it explicitly, because with Xiao Shenyan's understanding of Xiao Mo, if he put too much pressure on Xiao Mo, he would only be rebounded by Xiao Mo, and it would be better to go with the flow.

Just when the grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Mo's grandfather, Xiao Shenxing, broke into Xiao Mo's room, his eyebrows tangled and his face painful.
