Chapter 86: Obediently, you come and write a few words
"If I were to become an actor, there would be one less great scientist in the world." Lin Xi's half-truth.
Ren Changfeng smiled dumbly: "That's right." ”
"If Director Ren doesn't have anything else, I'll get in the car."
"Xiao Lin, wait, I heard Mr. Li say that the treasure bottle you asked him to see last night is amazing, I wonder if I can take a look?" Ren Changfeng's eyes were faintly full of expectation.
"I paid it back."
"Oh, yes. That's a pity. ”
Lin Xi didn't say anything more, nodded at Ren Changfeng and got into the car.

On the way to Shangguan's house, Yi An's mobile phone rang suddenly, Yi An turned on the Bluetooth call, and said in a respectful tone: "Hey, boss." ”
"Yi'an, where are you?" Qin Chu's deep and pleasant voice sounded in the car.
Yi An told Qin Chu that he was going to go to Shangguan's house with Lin Xi, and Qin Chu only said "come back soon" and ended the call.
"Miss Lin Xi, boss, he really cares about you." Yi An said as he drove.
"Why do you care about me?" Lin Xitou leaned back on the back seat and asked casually.
Yi An said without thinking: "Of course, it's because I like you." ”
"Why do you like me?"
Yi An thought for a while and said, "This is naturally because you are a good person. ”
"Where do you see how good I am?" Lin Xi seemed to be smiling.
"Well, this..."
Yi An hesitated for a long time but didn't say why, and Lin Xi didn't really want to hear Yi An say what was good about her. Therefore, he didn't ask, but said to Yi An: "Mr. Yi, I'm sleepy and want to sleep for a while." When you get to the waiting place, please call me. ”
Yi An immediately agreed.
·······
An hour later, the car arrived in front of the Shangguan family's mansion.
Out of politeness, Lin Xi asked Yi An if she wanted to go in and have a cup of tea with her. Yi An said he was waiting in the car. Lin Xi didn't say anything more, pushed the car door, and got out of the car. When he saw that the door was open, he went straight in. happened to meet the housekeeper Wang Shen in the front yard and asked Shangguan Yide to be behind the study. Lin Xi walked through the courtyards and came to the study in the backyard.
Quietly in the study, Shangguan Yide was standing next to the table, holding a wolf pen and splashing ink on rice paper.
"Little Creek is coming." Shangguan Yide saw Lin Xi, stopped writing, straightened up, and said with a smile.
"Grandpa Shangguan, you practice calligraphy." Lin Xi said with a smile.
"Come, good boy, how about you come and see the words I just wrote?"
Lin Xi walked to the table in three steps and two steps, but saw a piece of rice paper with the four big characters "No Ji Tailai" written on the pen and snake.
Lin Xi gave a thumbs up and praised without hesitation: "Grandpa Shangguan, you really have the demeanor of a calligrapher, these four words are magnificent, like a towering Mount Tai that makes people's hearts flutter." ”
Shangguan Yide shook his white beard and laughed. Immediately after that, a pair of wrinkled eyes looked straight at Lin Xi, and their eyes were shining. At the same time, he nodded with great satisfaction.
Lin Xi suddenly had a feeling that the old man on the other side seemed to be thinking about how much money he could get in exchange for selling her.
Lin Xi couldn't laugh or cry a little: "Grandpa Shangguan, why are you looking at me with such eyes?" ”
"Xiaoxi, come, you can write a few words too." Shangguan Yide said and stuffed the valuable collector's edition wolf pen in his hand into Lin Xi's hand.
Lin Xi didn't reach out to pick it up: "Grandpa Shangguan, the driver is still waiting outside, I told the driver that I will go back when I go." ”
"This is easy to do, I asked the housekeeper to invite someone in."
"He won't come in."
"Then let him wait, it's rare that our grandfather and grandson have time to study calligraphy together in the study, if you don't write a few words, wouldn't it be too beautiful."
"Okay then." Lin Xi took the wolf's pen.
Shangguan Yide immediately took away the rice paper with the words "No Ji Tailai" written on the table. I found a good piece of rice paper and spread it on the table.
"Grandpa Shangguan, what am I writing?" Lin Xi stood by the table with a pen
"Just write about the blessing of the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan."
Lin Xi let out an "oh", dipped it in ink, leaned over, and wrote down the eight characters of "Fu Ru Donghai Shoubi Nanshan" on rice paper.
Then he looked up at Shangguan Yide, and made an open and teachable look: "Grandpa Shangguan, how about it, please give me a comment." ”
Shangguan Yide looked at the rice paper, and the dragon flying and phoenix dance faintly revealed the elegant and free eight big characters. Chong Linxi gave a thumbs up: "Okay." ”
Don't look at just one "good" word, but it's full of weight. Because Shangguan Yide rarely gives people a thumbs up and says "good", especially in penmanship.
It is a shame to say that he has practiced calligraphy for most of his life, and has always pursued elegant, free and eclectic fonts.
However, it was always impossible to write.
At first, he only felt that his kung fu was not enough, but then by chance, he suddenly realized that a person's font is affected by personality.
He lacks that kind of elegantness and freedom in his bones, and how long he practices naturally, he just can't draw a tiger or an anti-dog.
However, Lin Xi, this girl, doesn't look at her young age, but she has a free and easy energy in her bones.
Her kind of free and easy, coupled with more than ten years of hard practice, has already penetrated into the pen and ink, so every stroke of ink is rendered on the paper, all of which are free and elegant.
After Lin Xi and Shangguan Yide chatted casually about calligraphy, Lin Xi took out the mahogany box containing the treasure bottle from his pocket: "Grandpa Shangguan, thank you for borrowing my treasure bottle last night, and now I will return it to its original owner." ”
Shangguan Yide didn't rush to pick it up, but said with a smile: "Xiaoxi obediently, how is my treasure bottle?" ”
Lin Xi said without thinking; "It's better than the vase in the hands of Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Shangguan Yide said in a seductive tone; "Obediently, it's better for you to be Beichen's wife, and I'll give you this vase. And as long as you are willing to be Beichen's wife, when I return to the West, the treasures in my house will be yours. ”
Lin Xi said sincerely: "Grandpa Shangguan, thank you for your kindness, but I still say that Senior Brother Ninth already has a sweetheart." I'm not going to do such a thing. ”
Shangguan Yide shook his head regretfully.
Lin Xi comforted the old man for a few more words and then left.
Then Shangguan Yide called the housekeeper Wang Shen, pointed to the eight elegant and free characters written by Lin Xi on the table, "Furu Donghai Shoubi Nanshan", and asked Wang Shen: "Housekeeper, how do you see my handwriting?" ”
The good-looking Wang Shen showed a look of surprise on his face, and at the same time muttered in his heart, this character is indeed very good, but it is very different from the old lady's handwriting in the past.
Of course, he didn't dare to express his doubts, he had followed the old lady for so many years. Knowing this, the old lady will definitely be angry.
After Wang Shen hesitated for a moment, he praised sincerely: "Old lady, your character really has everyone's demeanor, I estimate that if you sell it to those rich merchants who love to collect calligraphy and paintings, you will definitely make a lot of money." ”
The old man snorted coldly: "It's really a vulgar idea, I practice calligraphy for self-cultivation, not for money,"
The housekeeper accompanied the smiling face: "Old lady, what you said is true." ”
"Butler, I remember correctly, Chen Xishan's old guy's seventieth birthday is coming, right?" Shangguan Yide squinted at Wang Shen.
"That's right, old lady, you have a good memory."
"You find someone to frame this letter, and on Chen Xishan's 70th birthday, give this piece to the old guy. By the way, you must remember to tell the old guy that I wrote this letter. ”
Wang Shen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, old lady." ”
