As a result of the bet, Qin Mo won.

With a crisp sound, Xu Chengzhi's Wen Palace shattered, he opened his mouth and spurted blood, and his originally normal face became like gold paper.

Although his palace was not completely damaged, it was riddled with deep cracks and had collapsed badly, making it difficult to restore it to its original state.

Now, he finally realized where he was wrong, he was completely carried away by jealousy, and lost the most basic judgment, when he was compared to Qin Mo, he was not thinking about how to improve his strength, but hurting the other party.

It is an eternal truth that harming others will end up harming oneself.

In addition to the shattering of the palace, he will also be punished by the academy, and the crime of framing his classmates is equivalent to stealing, and he will be disqualified as a student.

In fact, even if he is not expelled, as a wasted person, he will not have the face to continue to stay in the academy.

Yan Ming was dismissed from the position of head of the dormitory by He Chang on the spot, and was expelled from the Wendao College with immediate effect, and declared that he would never be hired.

Because the county leader Xu Hao was also present, it was equivalent to cutting off Yan Ming's career at the same time, at least he couldn't get along in Xiayi County.

Xu Chengzhi's scholar knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy, saying that he did this under the coercion of his master, anyway, Xu Chengzhi had become half-disabled, and he was not afraid of offending his master.

As for the other accomplices, each received twenty boards, and then rolled up and rolled up.

This is the end of a farce.

He Chang and Gu Meng are frequent visitors to the cottage, the two of them do not feel restrained, and Xu Hao is a casual guest, and the three of them sit in the main hall with four walls of the house, sipping tea with an extremely ordinary taste.

Gu Meng was the first to ask: "Qin Mo, how do you know that I am in the room and you have not entered the door?"

Qin Mo smiled and said, "I smell wine." ”

Xu Hao gave a thumbs up and said with sincere admiration: "No wonder you dare to bet against Xu Chengzhi, it turned out to be a sure victory." ”

As a Xuezheng, He Chang was very sad and sighed: "Actually, Xu Chengzhi is still very good, smart and perceptive, if it weren't for the fact that he went astray, he would definitely have some achievements in the future." ”

Xu Chengzhi's biggest flaw lies in psychological distortion and unscrupulous means to achieve his goals.

He Chang remembered the purpose of accompanying Xu Hao here, and said, "Dr. Gu, the county lord is here to solve his doubts. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Gu Meng put away the contempt on his face and involuntarily sat up straight.

Xu Hao told the difficulties he encountered as they were, and Qin Mo took out a brush and inkstone with a very good eye, and spread the rice paper on the table.

Seeing Xu Hao finish writing a word, Gu Meng didn't make a sound, but Qin Mo had already seen the problem.

Obviously, Xu Hao's "Yong" character has some brushstrokes of Zhao Ti, and the use of a regular European style may not be a problem, but Qin Mo can see the clue at a glance.

He said, "Student courage, this word looks familiar. ”

Xu Hao is an open-minded person, and directly admitted: "It was influenced by you, the paper of the county test." ”

No wonder, Qin Mo felt more confident in his heart.

Gu Meng turned his head to look at Qin Mo and said, "What do you think of the word Lord County?"

Qin Mo did not choose to pat himself on the back because Xu Hao was a county magistrate, but commented from an academic point of view, saying: "There is no problem with the shape and structure of the characters, but the way of writing is wrong." ”

"Boy, don't say anything, how long have you been practicing calligraphy, and you dare to accuse the county lord of penmanship, do you know that he has a common literary position. He Chang hurriedly asked, he was afraid that Qin Mo would say something that would make Xu Hao unhappy.

Xu Hao waved his hand: "Qin Shuangjia but it doesn't hurt to say it, this word was originally an imitation of his writing, strictly speaking, he is the person with the most right to speak." ”

In addition to being open-minded, Xu Hao said this to show his open-minded side, but in fact, he was hopeless in his heart, and like He Chang, he felt that it was impossible for a child to give him some kind of guidance.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to find He Chang and Gu Meng, and he should have come directly to Qin Mo.

Qin Mo arched his hand at Xu Hao, pointed to the second stroke of the word "Yong", and said: "Here, the folding method is not right, my brushwork is between the virtual fold and the real fold, and you ...... it."

He couldn't go on, because he suddenly thought of a very serious problem, when the ancients wrote regular script, there was no turning point in the strokes.

For example, the second stroke of the word "Yong" is a horizontal and vertical hook, when they write, they first write horizontally, and then lift the brush, according to the regular stroke in the vertical writing method to write this vertical pen, and then write the hook.

In other words, as a stroke clearly stipulated by later generations, the ancients actually wrote it in three strokes, so there was no folded stroke.

The so-called Yongzi Eight Laws, respectively, are points, horizontal, vertical, hook, mention, apostrophe, short skimming and 捺, many people in later generations proposed that it should be nine laws, but also add a folding method, that is, because the ancients wrote when the two strokes were written separately, so it is eight laws instead of nine laws.

"What is a fold?" Xu Hao hurriedly asked, Gu Meng and He Chang were also confused.

Obviously, there was no folding method in this era, and people still use the ancient method of italics.

Sweat oozed from Qin Mo's forehead, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he directly picked up another brush and said, "I'll write it for you." ”

The three of them are not low, and their understanding is naturally not to say, they only need to read it once to know what is going on.

Qin Mo also wrote the word "Yong", and in order to let them see it clearly, he wrote it in a real folded way.

The three pairs of eyes were fixed on the ink left by the pen on the paper, they were already stunned, as calligraphers, they had never thought that words could be written like this.

Qin Mo began to write the second word "Yong", this time using a virtual fold, although it was also at the turning point to leave the pen from the paper, but the action was done in one go, and there was still a clear difference from not folding.

In the third writing, he used the method of combining virtual folds and real folds that he is best at, and his pen meaning was more agile and elegant.

"I see, I see......" Xu Hao muttered as he glared.

"Regular script can also be turned?" He Chang asked, staring at Gu Meng.

Gu Meng frowned and said, "I only know how to use folding pens for calligraphy, as for regular scripts...... Regardless of whether it was before or not, Qin Mo's writing was very smooth, and you and I saw it with our own eyes, and there was nothing wrong with it. ”

He Chang nodded: "That's right, not only smooth, but also very natural, turning two strokes into one stroke, the writing speed can also be improved a lot, this will be a major reform of calligraphy!"

Qin Mo let out a long breath and finally fooled him.

It turned out that he had thought the question simply, Gu Meng reached out and grabbed him by the collar, bared his teeth and asked, "How did you find this way of writing?"

He was stunned for a moment, and then said without changing his face and heartbeat: "I found it by chance when I practiced calligraphy before, you also know that my family is poor, and I have been writing with bluestone slabs for eight years, and I usually cherish the brush, in fact, I don't know if this kind of writing will work, and over time I have developed the habit of folding the pen." I failed to take the county exam seven times in a row, which may have something to do with it. ”

He Chang nodded like pounding garlic, and concluded: "That's it! Because this new writing method was not recognized by the Wenshu Shengshi before, so you can't pass the exam, I'll just say, how can Shuangjia Tongsheng fail the county exam seven times, and when it is recognized, you will be born!"

Qin Mo said in his heart that my sister is really smart, she casually made up a lie, not only to round up the matter in front of her, but also to round up the embarrassing matter of seven tries.

Gu Meng was even more excited, in addition to the new way of writing folding the pen, Qin Mo was also proficient in oracle bone inscriptions, and as his husband, he suddenly felt a light on his face.

A picture popped up in his mind, everyone was praising him and Qin Mo, the teacher was the first person to study Xia Seal, the student was the first person to study the oracle bone inscription, plus the inventor of the folding pen, this matter has become a good story forever.

He Chang couldn't help but be complacent, Shuangjia Tongsheng and the title of the founder of the folding pen are enough to make Xiayi County Wendao College shine, maybe it can still attract the attention of Emperor Zhao Ji.

On the other side, Xu Hao didn't speak, he frowned at times, stretched out at times, and his face was sunny for a while and cloudy for a while.

He suddenly looked down at the brush in his hand, then focused on the three words written by Qin Mo, and after a while, he raised the pen and wrote the word "Yong" in a real fold method.

Then use the virtual fold, and finally the combination of the virtual and the real.

No one noticed the change, not even himself, but it was manifested in the power of the pen that was overlaid on the pen, and even if the pen left the paper, it remained connected to the previous handwriting until the next stroke was written.

As a person who is often written in calligraphy, he is very experienced in pen power and pen meaning, and folding the pen is not a difficult technique, so he can master it quickly.

By the time he wrote the sixth character "Yong", he had already mastered the three methods of folding the pen, and realized that there was only one twist in this character, and it was not enjoyable to write, so he changed to another character to write.

This time, he wrote the word "Pin", which is not a lot of strokes, but has three turns, which can meet the three folding methods of writing at the same time.

When he wrote the second word "Pin", a fresh breeze suddenly rolled up in the room, blowing the corners of the clothes of the four people.

Gu Meng was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the situation?"

He Chang also felt puzzled, and when he saw that the breeze was surrounding Xu Hao, he exclaimed: "Lord County has obtained the pre-test position!"

Xu Hao remained focused on writing, not knowing what was going on.

Gu Meng's eyes widened, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Lord Xu is a common scholar, so now is ...... I tried Hanlin before. ”

Gu Meng subconsciously snatched the old brush from Qin Mo's hand, and dipped it in ink to write skillfully, Xu Hao has achieved such great results, of course he is not willing to fall behind.

He Chang was also anxious, stretched out his hand and copied the Qiankun pen that Qin Mo had won two days ago in his hand, twisted the tip with gum as fast as possible, then dipped it in water to moisten the pen, and then dipped it in ink to write.

Qin Mo was almost distressed to death, and he was reluctant to use that pen until now.

A piece of paper was quickly filled with three calligraphy bosses, Xu Hao casually pulled over a new piece of paper, and the three of them continued to write.
