Chapter 14: Why Invite Me?
The fragrance of tea wafts far away.
In the courtyard of the northeast of the Martial Arts Palace, the pen and ink in the pavilion have been cleaned up, leaving only a small clay stove in the center, and the fiery red charcoal is boiling the black porcelain teapot on the stove.
"Mei-senpai!"
"Let's sit down first, come and roast the fire, this ghost weather, it's very cold!" Mei Shichong smiled at Qin Chao, who had just stepped into the pavilion, and pointed to a small wooden bench opposite. Dai Jingshi and Bai Rui were not there in this pavilion, and Mei Shizhi was also alone, so the Qin Dynasty saluted and hung the hat aside.
"After Meng Shusheng, the first person in the Prajna Hall should be Mei Shi. β
Qin Dynasty faced Mei Shizhu, who was shaking a small fan of the fire, his demeanor was very respectful, Mei Shizhu was sixty-three years old this year, in the entire martial arts academy, at this time he was still very famous, and his early school career, in a class of Tianlong Temple temple students in the same period was only in the middle and upper, if there is anything special, that is, he can write while planning the plate, or while reading, while painting Mei.
Such an 'ordinary' person who has been for almost a lifetime, but the Qin Dynasty knew that he would soar to the sky in three years.
Three years later, Mei Shishu and Dai Jingshi watched the No. 1826 version of the Yiyang Finger, which was different from the version that mostly made minor modifications to the defects of the Yiyang Finger, and rarely increased the power of the Yiyang Finger. β
It is extremely difficult to improve the power of the Yiyang Finger, and it is precisely for this reason that Mei Shishu, who is the main creator of the 1826 version, has a very great credit, and is respected as a sub-saint after the Three Sages of Dali, and once one of the Three Sages of the literary world dies, he will be automatically promoted to one of the Three Sages.
And this is only the beginning of Mei's glory.
Table 1 Yang refers to the version later.
Mei Shizhu began to turn to the aspect of writing and speaking, and two years later, his essay collection "Lying Pine Cloud Collection" was a table, and Dali paper was expensive for a while, and everyone had a sneak peek.
In another seven years, the second version of the Yang Finger cloth, although it is only for the 1826 version of the 'patch', but in the career of the Martial Arts Palace, the results of the two expressions are not done, which is Meng Shusheng, Guo Xuzhen, Huang Tongming, the three saints of the literary world have not done, relatively rare, so Mei Shishu in the hundred years, although there is Meng Shusheng, a person who has been on Wuhua Tower to ask politics, but his achievements are higher than Meng Shusheng in the history books.
"Senior Mei!" Qin Chao was about to speak.
Mei Shi waved her hand, her eyes glared slightly: "Little brother, you are a student, your teacher Guo Shengren and I are not in the same class, you call me senior brother, the seniors are too raw." β
"This Mei Shi is ......" Qin Dynasty was speechless, the Qin Dynasty has been coming to the Martial Arts Hall for more than ten days, and getting along with Mei Shi is not a moment, every time it is called Mei Shizhu's 'senior', although Mei Shizhu is smiling at that time, there is a faint feeling of rejection in his demeanor, and he has never said that he wants Qin Dynasty to change his name, but this time, it is unexpected.
"It should be that I didn't join his faction and didn't take credit from him, and he was completely relieved now. β
Turning his thoughts, Qin Chao shouted with a smile: "Senior Brother Mei!"
Mei Shizhi turned her anger into joy at this time, and looked at Qin Chao with a smile: "Little brother, you are ...... Huh?" glanced at the small box that Qin Chao had placed on the table beside him, and his face was a tiger again.
"Little brother, you are ......," Mei Shizhu said, pointing to the box.
"Senior Brother Mei. Qin Chao smiled slightly, "The first time I visited Senior Brother Mei, if I was empty-handed, wouldn't it make people laugh at my rudeness as a junior brother, this is just a small gift." β
"A small gift? This is not good, take it back, senior brother and brother, what kind of gift do you want. Mei Shi said in a deep voice.
"Senior Brother Mei has seen the outside, this is not a valuable gift for me, it is just a piece of writing by myself. Qin Chaolian said with a smile.
"Your words?"
Mei Shizhu suddenly smiled again, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of receiving people are short, Qin Dynasty obviously came to ask him Mei Shizhu to do something this time, if it is an expensive gift, he naturally has to refuse, but a pair of words, or Qin Dynasty himself wrote, it is much better, it is very common for literati to exchange calligraphy and paintings, and it is a big deal that Mei Shizhu himself also made a calligraphy and painting in return afterwards.
Mei Shi has three hobbies, painting plums, prose, and arithmetic, in addition to these three hobbies, he also likes calligraphy. β
Thinking about the description in the book, the Qin Dynasty pushed the gift box to Mei Shishu: "Senior Brother Mei, graffiti, please give me a lot of advice." β
"Since it's the word of the little brother, then I'll take a look, your Duan Haifeng's word, haha, it's hard to find a thousand gold in Dali now, don't dare to give me advice." Mei Shizhu put down the small fan, connected the gift box, as if she was afraid of being robbed, she couldn't wait to hit the lid three or two, and took out a beige roll of rice paper inside.
"Good workmanship, this framing should be from the champion building, the little brother has a heart. Mei Shi untied the string like a monkey in a hurry, and when he opened it slightly, his eyes lit up.
After years of practice, the current pavilion of the Qin Dynasty is one level higher than that of the Zhuangyuan Building, and with the intention of writing books, this is written at a higher level than those who are outstanding.
"Good words!" Mei Shizhu praised two sentences, spread the paper roll wider, and looked at the next few words, and was stunned.
"It's ......"
Mei Shizhu's mouth was half open.
Qin Dynasty immediately smiled so that his eyes were bent, the word he wrote was Mei Shizhu's early years when he graduated from Tianlong Temple left an essay "Aoshuang Mei", Mei Shizhu wrote a lot of prose in his life, at this time the most commendable is such as "Jin Guyuan Nostalgia", "Crane Lin Hong", "Husband Xing" and other chapters, and this "Aoshuang Mei" in Mei Shi's current chapters, in the eyes of outsiders belong to the middle and upper, naturally not noticed.
However, "Aoshuang Mei" is one of the famous articles that can really be passed on to future generations, why it is considered to be middle and forgotten, there are many reasons, but outsiders do not know the true value of this article, how can Mei Shishu not know?
It can be said that this article is what he has devoted the most effort to to his own signboard.
But it was as desired.
spent the most effort to support the faΓ§ade, but was snubbed, which was a big blow to him, until he became famous in his later years, when he talked about it with people, he was haunted and resentful.
This article really began to show its face five years later, when Mei Shi wrote his famous article "Lying Pine Cloud Gathering", he put this article in the article, and it is precisely because of this that someone has studied it, and some of the value of this "Aoshuang Mei" is indeed no less than the rest of the articles such as "Golden Ancient Garden" and "Crane Forest Hong".
Now that the Qin Dynasty has written this article down, instead of chapters such as "Golden Ancient Garden Nostalgia" and "Crane Linhong", it is tantamount to thinking that the article "Aoshuang Mei" is of higher value, which naturally has a great impact on Mei Shi's book.
"Little brother. Mei Shi's voice was a little out of shape, "The old man's article, the outside world thinks that "Husband Walk", "Crane Linhong", "Jin Guyuan Nostalgia", etc. are the best, this one is just a middle and upper work, why is the little brother?"
"Haha......" Qin Chao laughed, "Is Senior Brother Mei testing me, although "Husband Walk" and "Crane Linhong" are good, there are so many articles of the same level as "Husband Walk" in the world, but this one is different. β
"Oh?" Mei Shi's eyes lit up suddenly, and she said, "What's the difference?"
"There are three more and three less in this article. Qin Chao squinted his eyes and said with a smile, Mei Shi's mouth opened all of a sudden, Qin Chao said without waiting for him to ask: "The so-called three more, the first is the structure, and there are more than one or two structures used in general prose writing, but there are space-time structures, scene structures, virtual and real structures, dot dye structures, and all the structures are integrated into one furnace, especially the space-time structure, which is the ...... that I admire Senior Brother Mei the most."
"And the second is the number of words, Senior Brother Mei uses overlapping words, transforming, and setting off ......"
......
The Qin Dynasty talked eloquently about the advantages of the entire prose one by one, and only mentioned this article in the history books, and did not make too much analysis of the article, but the current level of the Qin Dynasty, how can it not analyze the advantages of the article when it knows that this article is a good article?
"Let's talk about the emotions in this article......" Qin Chao said, suddenly stunned.
"Senior Brother Mei, you ......" Qin Chao looked at Mei Shizhu, only to see that Mei Shizhu's squinting eyes had become a slit, and there seemed to be light flowing in the corners of his eyes.
"It's nothing, the wind caught my eyes for a while, haha, let the little brother smile. Mei Shizhu lowered her head and wiped her sleeves from the corners of her eyes, "Little brother, it's rare, since I wrote this "Aoshuang Mei", it's the first time I've heard someone give such a high evaluation, haha, this one is really so good? I'm a little embarrassed to hear this, well, this gift, senior brother likes it very much, I like it very much." β
"Well, so be it. Mei Shi reluctantly closed the painting slowly, looked at Qin Chao and said, "Little brother, if you come this time, what are your requirements, let's say it directly, if senior brother can help, as long as it is not too difficult, senior brother, I will help you even if you go to the soup." β
Qin Chao's eyes lit up, he had put in so much effort, wasn't that why.
"Senior Brother Mei, I really came to beg you this time, well, I must have heard that Senior Brother Mei also heard that I built a Tai Chi Club studio this time. Qin Chao said, "And this studio grass creation requires a large number of masters to join, and Senior Brother Mei, you ......."
"Do you want to ......" Mei Shizhu waved his hand to interrupt Qin Chaodao, "You want me to join?" Qin Chao nodded, Mei Shi frowned, "Although your Tai Chi Club is called a studio, it is actually a self-opened faction, right? Why do you want to invite me? There are countless masters in this martial arts hall, and I Mei Shizhu is just an unknown person, why did you choose me?"
At this time, the way of the world has always been to respect the old, and the seniority is more strict according to seniority.
Although Mei Shizhu is not in the same class as Guo Xuzhen, he is only about ten years younger than Guo Xuzhen, and he has also taken classes with Guo Xuzhen.
The Qin Dynasty asked him to do things, which was not very right in itself.
It is easy for people to misunderstand and look down on it, not to mention that the Tai Chi Society studio in the Qin Dynasty was founded by the Qin Dynasty itself, not by Guo Xuzhen, it can be said that if it weren't for the words sent by the Qin Dynasty before "Aoshuang Mei", Mei Shi felt like a confidant, and felt that the Qin Dynasty should know himself, and he doubted whether the Qin Dynasty really looked down on himself.
"Nameless?"
Qin Chao laughed: "Senior Brother Mei is too empty, among all the senior brothers in this martial arts hall, there are many who are nameless, but there are also many who are not worthy of the name, and there are not necessarily no true talents, after I Duan Haifeng came to this Tianlong Temple, I have read a lot of articles by my senior brothers, and I only fancy seventeen and a half." β
"Seventeen and a half?"
"Well, among the seventeen and a half, Meng Shengren, my teacher, and Huang Shengren, they are all only ranked second, third, and fourth, and according to the real teacher, ......"
"Mengshu Shengdu is only the second, so who is the first?"
"This is the first ......"
......
From touting Mei Shizhu, to the benefits of joining the Tai Chi Club, etc., the Qin Dynasty persuaded Mei Shizhu, time passed, and before he knew it, the rain had stopped.
"Little brother Haifeng, to be honest, senior brother is a little excited, but this is not a trivial matter, your Tai Chi Club studio is still nothing, you are also young, you can mess around, there is time, but senior brother and I are different......"
Although Mei Shizhu was a little moved, when he thought of the difficulties of the self-reliant faction, he finally rejected the kindness of the Qin Dynasty.
"Okay, little brother, you give your senior brother ten years, and your senior brother will also give you ten years, if after ten years, the Tai Chi Club can make achievements, then the old man will show this old face, and what about entering your Tai Chi Club? β
"Hope?"
"Your teacher will tell you, okay, don't send it!"
......
Coming out of Mei Shi's place, the Qin Dynasty visited Wang Jian, Dai Jingshi, Chen Siyuan, Li Shichun and other future masters one by one.
"Little brother, your Tai Chi Club studio, if you really need it, come and call me directly, ask for information, or analyze, I won't help you, just join, it's not necessary." β
"Haifeng, the old man really wants to help you, but I'm too busy with my faction to win, so ......"
......
Most of these people have a good impression of the Qin Dynasty, after all, the Qin Dynasty visited them last year, but they are not very optimistic about the opening of the faction, so they say it beautifully, but it means to help you, if you want me to join the Tai Chi Society, no way!
Seven days later, the Martial Arts Palace, the residence of Yuan Mingde, the first person of the criminal faction.
"Little brother Haifeng, why did you persuade the old brother to come here?" Yuan Mingde looked at the young man who walked in and laughed, because since he entered the Martial Arts Palace, the Qin Dynasty had an extremely affectionate attitude towards him, and Yuan Mingde naturally had different feelings for this young man, but Yuan Mingde has always wondered, why is this young man so blue-eyed towards him?
"Brother Yuan, the younger brother didn't come this time to persuade you to join the Tai Chi Club, don't be nervous. Qin Chao said with a smile, his eyes glancing around, "Brother Yuan, is it safe here?"
"Safe?"
Yuan Mingde was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the Qin Dynasty was asking if the wall had ears.
"Little brother, I'm the only one here, I'm a bad old man, no one will stare at it yet, ...... are you" Yuan Mingde looked at Qin Chao in surprise, Qin Chao smiled slightly, and took out something from his neck, which was a small wooden plaque one inch wide and three inches long, with a blood-red body.
Why do you look at Yuan Mingde differently?
Wang Jian, Mei Shizhu, Dai Jingshi, Chen Siyuan and others look at each other differently because they are very good, and they will definitely get ahead in the martial arts hall in the next few years, but Yuan Mingde, in the history of martial arts, he almost belongs to the one who clicked his name, saying that he was a temple student of Tianlong Temple, and how many years he entered the martial arts hall, that's all.
Just because of one thing, Yuan Mingde is a criminal.
And Qinjiazhai is also a criminal, and the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife is also a criminal exercise.
And before the Qin Dynasty left the village, the old patriarch of Qin once told that Tianlong Temple also has my own Qin family, after going to Tianlong Temple, when I see the people of the criminal family, especially when I see Yuan Mingde, Huang Jianrui, and Xiao Chongyi, we must be treated with special courtesy, not contempt. Therefore, the Qin Dynasty knew that this Yuan Mingde and Qin Jiazhai must have an inextricable relationship, and the Five Tigers Broken Door Knife must also have something to do with it, and the brand that Qin Dynasty took out was the wooden card he carried with him, this card was unknown to outsiders, but he was sure that Yuan Mingde must know.
"White Tiger ......"
Yuan Mingde just glanced at the sign that Qin Dynasty took out, and saw that the sign was engraved with the word 'kill' by Gu Li on one side, and a tiger looking at the moon with hanging eyes on the other, and his face showed ecstasy.
