Chapter 24
Moon stars are rare.

The time of Hai has passed, but the Confucian Mansion is still brightly lit.

Li Qing, Kong Wei, and Kong Dexiang huddled together in front of a table, admiring the literary sage's calligraphy.

In front of the table, a mottled ancient bamboo book was shrouded in a circle of light blue light.

This is refined by experts with special materials, which has a strong anti-corrosion effect.

Otherwise, such a long-standing literati calligraphy will be instantly corrupted when it comes into contact with the air.

Facing the unclear words on the bamboo book, Kong Wei and Kong Dexiang looked at it fascinated.

This is the calligraphy of their ancestors and the belief in their hearts.

"Changqing, the old man has a treasured dragon beard brush. How about exchanging this literary treasure with you?"

Kong Wei said as he stared at him bewilderedly.

The dragon beard brush, with the dragon beard under the jaw of the Jiaolong as the hair, and the pen body symbolized by the Confucianism, the transparent jade.

It is the dream treasure of scholars all over the world.

Writing with a dragon beard pen, the pen is sharp and penetrating three points.

If a well-cultivated scholar holds a dragon beard brush, the lethality is no less than that of a general straddling a horse and carrying a gun.

"Jijiu, this literary treasure was lent to me by Princess Changning, it does not belong to me."

Li Qing longed for the Dragon Beard Brush.If the literary sage calligraphy belonged to him, he would immediately change it.

Kong Wei, who was originally excited, turned his head to look at Li Qing when he heard the words, and stammered:
"Changqing, if you are willing, Changning is also very happy to exchange with you. Your Majesty, the old man went to talk about it, and I think His Majesty will agree, and you will not blame you."

Li Qing: "..."

In just a few hours, Kong Wei's image of a great Confucian collapsed in Li Qing's heart.

But it gave people a more real feeling, this is a real person, not a rigid and decadent old Confucianism, which made Li Qing respect him even more.

"My lord, there is an imperial decree coming."

At this moment, a servant hurried over.

Kong Wei hurriedly put away the literary sage calligraphy, and led Li Qing and Kong Dexiang to the front hall.

In the front hall, the eunuch in the hall holds the imperial decree.

Seeing Kong Wei and Li Qing approaching, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"I have seen the number one scholar, and I have seen Master Jijiu."

The eunuchs in the palace were very polite in their words, especially to Li Qing.

Wei Que, the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was ordered to establish the East Factory, and was recruiting people vigorously in the palace.

As Wei Que's confidant, he knew very well that Li Qing was the benefactor of these eunuchs.

After seeing the ceremony, the eunuch in the palace took out the imperial decree and read:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Princess Changning is virtuous, virtuous, gentle and generous, knowledgeable and reasonable. She is not yet married. Li Qing, the new champion, is diligent in learning, hardworking, excellent in character and learning, and has the style of an ancient gentleman. Specially recruited as Princess Changning's son-in-law , and wait for Si Tianjian to choose a good day and auspicious day to get married. Hereby!"

After the imperial edict was finished, the eunuch in the palace handed over the imperial edict to Li Qing with a flattering smile.

"Congratulations to the number one scholar on the double happiness. Your Majesty tells you to go to Yong'an Palace tomorrow, and then go to Yushitai."

Li Qing was dumbfounded holding the imperial decree.

When the gold list was titled, there was a festive night in the bridal chamber.

The four great joys in life, he completed one and a half within two days?

But he and Princess Changning had only met once before they were arranged to be married.

The key is the marriage bestowed by the emperor.

He doesn't even have the right to refuse.

"Brother Li, congratulations." Kong Dexiang congratulated with a smile, "I met Princess Changning six years ago, and she is indeed a perfect match for you."

When Kong Wei heard the description of Princess Changning in the imperial decree, the corners of Kong Wei's mouth twitched constantly.

Virtuous and virtuous, gentle and generous, knowledgeable and reasonable.

She really didn't enjoy any of these three advantages.

He said earnestly: "Changqing, Changning, you have met before. Although she is indeed a little naughty and careless, she is still a good girl overall. But she is a princess after all, so you have to take care of her in the future. "

Li Qing shook his head helplessly, he could tell from meeting today.

This Princess Changning is not only stubborn and carefree, she is clearly a typical "female man".

However, judging from her respectful attitude towards Kong Wei, and her willingness to borrow dragon-scaled horses from herself with Wensheng Mobao instead of snatching her as a princess, she is not an unreasonable and unreasonable princess.

"Changqing, you are getting married, and the old man Longxubi will give it to you as a wedding present." Kong Wei said.

"How is this possible?" Li Qing hastily declined, "The Dragon Beard Brush is too precious, Changqing can't have it."

Dragon beard pens are not only precious, but also very rare.

Even in the palace, there is no one to be found.

I don't know how many great Confucianists can't ask for it.

When Kong Dexiang next to him heard the words, his envious eyes turned red.

Kong Wei cherished the dragon beard brush, and he was not allowed to touch it at ordinary times.

Now it is sent directly.

Who is the real grandson?
Kong Wei glared at Li Qing, "Changning is a student of this old man, and you are her son-in-law, and you are also half a student of this old man. The teacher gave you a wedding gift, how can you refuse?"

Li Qing was taken aback for a moment, then bowed to the ground, "Thank you, Teacher, for your generous gift."

Seeing that Li Qing didn't refuse any more, Kong Wei changed his address.

Then he stroked his beard with his hands and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he added, "However, you have to borrow this old man to observe your sage calligraphy."

Li Qing: "Teacher wants to see it, just take it and see it anytime."

……

In Kong Dexiang's wing.

"Brother Li, can you lend me the Dragon Beard Brush?"

As soon as he entered the room, Kong Dexiang couldn't wait to say.

Kong Wei was here just now, and he couldn't ask for a loan after holding back all the way, because if he did, he would be beaten.

The old man beat people with his ruler, but even the eight-foot man who could beat him screamed.

"Naturally."

Li Qing handed Kong Dexiang the Dragon Beard Brush that Kong Wei gave him.

He wants to be virtuous, meritorious, and expressive.

Naturally, we should flaunt ourselves with saintly morality and act like saints.

A dragon beard pen, it doesn't hurt to borrow it from a friend.

What's more, this itself is a gift from friends, parents and elders.

Kong Dexiang took the dragon beard brush with excitement, his eyes full of affection, and he stroked the pen holder carefully with both hands.

After a long time, I picked up the pen and ink, and wrote on the white paper.

"A gentleman is indifferent but not contending, and a group is not a party."

After writing the ten characters, the strength penetrates the back of the paper, showing the sharpness.

Every word seems to come alive, jumping out of the paper.

Kong Dexiang picked up the white paper again, and carved it on the table with pen sharpness.

"It's a good brush, as expected of the Dragon Beard Brush. It's a pity that my ink is too poor to be worthy of the Dragon Beard Brush.

According to legend, Huang Qinwen, the emperor's teacher from the country, reached a state of perfection in calligraphy.

He once used the dragon beard brush with Liyang ink and Tianqu inkstone to bring the writing to life.

Of course, it's still not as good as the scene where you, Brother Li, put pen to paper in Qingyun Pavilion. "

Kong Dexiang was full of emotion and longing.

If a scholar can bring his writing to life, then his life will not be in vain.

Huang Qinwen, the emperor of Liguo, wrote a touching eulogy for the empress dowager Liguo. The words jumped out of the paper and appeared above the empress dowager's body, which aroused the amazement of literati from all over the world.

Li Qing had heard about this before, and at the time thought it was due to the powerful cultivation of Emperor Li.

It wasn't until the Qingyun Banquet that I learned from the woman in palace attire that only high-quality monks can achieve the effect of pen and ink.

A high-grade monk has the great supernatural power to move mountains and fill seas. He is almost a fairy, and he will not show it easily in the world.

Kong Dexiang washed the dragon beard brush carefully, blotted the water stains with a handkerchief, put it in the pen case, and then reluctantly returned it to Li Qing.

"Dragon beard brush is a rare good brush in the world, but a good brush must be matched with good ink and inkstone. Wang Yan's family has good ink, and I will go and ask Brother Li for some."

"My heart is evergreen, brother Kong doesn't need to do this." Li Qing put away the pen case, and told Kong Dexiang about the Yushitai again.

After listening to the responsibilities of Yushitai, Kong Dexiang immediately shouted excitedly: "Scholars of my generation should dare to speak out and not be afraid of offending courtiers. Brother Li, I would like to take up the post at Yushitai and act as your majesty's eyes and ears, and monitor for your majesty." Baiguan!"

Although going to Yushitai can only serve as an official censor in the palace of the seventh rank, the official position is half a rank lower than that of the editor of the Imperial Academy of the seventh rank.

But Kong Dexiang seems to have found his purpose in life.

Not to mention half a grade lower, he is willing to lower one grade.
