Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 137 134, calligraphy obsessive

There is one reason why Chen Yuan put Zhong Yao in his recruiting talent plan, that is, Zhong Yao had assisted Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to return to the east in history, and he could be regarded as one of the people who had a good impression of the Han Dynasty.

There is another reason, that is, Chen Yuan needs a calligrapher.

Although Cai Yong is a well-known calligrapher in the world, but after all, he is old, and there are some things that he can't bother him to do.

It would be great if Zhong Yao could be recruited.

Moreover, it is much more convenient to use regular script for movable type printing than to use official script.

And Zhong Yao happened to be called the originator of regular script.

It would be too much for heaven not to bring Zhong Yao over here.

Cai Yong's name really came in handy, and not long after, a rather handsome young man in a straight brown train came out.

Before the young man could stand still, he bowed to everyone and said excitedly, "May I ask who is Chen Yuan and Chen Zichu, Bo Kaigong's disciple?"

Zhong Yao deserves to be called a calligrapher who can be compared with the calligrapher Wang Xizhi, and he has an unimaginable obsession with calligraphy works.

Hearing that Cai Yong's disciple came to see him, Zhong Yao, who was practicing calligraphy in the room just now, received the name card from the gatekeeper, put down the brush in his hand, grabbed the name card and ran out, afraid that he would neglect the visitor, but Missed the opportunity to learn from everyone in calligraphy.

Seeing Zhong Yao's excited appearance, Chen Yuan felt more confident in recruiting him. He returned the gift calmly, and said slowly, "Mr. Yuan Chang, I am Chen Yuan and Chen Zichu. It is really rude to come here, sir, please forgive me, I heard that your calligraphy is exquisite, I came to visit you today, I hope you can teach me a thing or two."

Zhong Yao waved his hand and said: "Zi Chu is too modest, you are a high-ranking student of Bo Kai, how dare you say that you teach? Those who have learned without success are teachers, and Yuan Chang wants to ask Zi Chu to benefit from one or two of Mr. Bo Kai's Fei Bai. Body, please don't hide your clumsiness at the beginning of the year."

Chen Yuan said humbly: "Mr. Yuan Chang is breaking the evil Yuan. If you don't dislike it, Yuan is willing to communicate with you and discuss calligraphy skills together?"

Later, after Zhong Yao greeted Sima Hui and Guo Jia, Zhong Yao made a gesture of invitation, and led Chen Yuan and his party to the mansion.

Passing through the tree-lined front yard, Zhong Yao stopped outside a separate room, pushed open the door and walked in. Chen Yuan followed him in and found that the interior of the house was extremely simple, and the spacious room was full of wood. Making bookshelves, the bookshelves are full of bamboo slips, and the bamboo slips are scattered all over the ground, with almost no place to step down.

Seeing Chen Yuan standing at the door of the room and not coming in, Zhong Yao blushed slightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Rang Zichu laughed at me, I usually don't let servants clean this house, so it looks messy Some." As he spoke, he accidentally stepped on a roll of bamboo slips, staggered and almost fell, Zhong Yao smiled mischievously, and quickly picked up the bamboo slips on the ground and put them on the wooden stand.

Chen Yuan cast a nonconcerning look, and after helping Zhong Yao clear up a path that could pass people, he followed Zhong Yao to the desk.

There are also piles of bamboo slips on both sides of the book case, and a few brushes, an inkstone and a few pieces of ink are placed in the middle part.

Zhong Yao casually picked up a writing brush, dipped it into the ink in the inkstone, and wrote on a blank bamboo slip with a swipe of the brush: "Zi said: Learning and learning from time to time, is it easy to say? A friend comes from afar, Isn’t it fun? People don’t know but don’t feel stunned, isn’t it a gentleman?”

Seeing that Zhong Yao wrote the first sentence of the Analects of Confucius freely, Chen Yuan couldn't help but praised him.

Zhong Yao picked up the bamboo slip with great satisfaction, blew on it carefully, and when the ink was dry, he turned sideways and said, "How about these words? Please correct me if there is anything wrong."

How can you subdue Zhong Yao if you don't come up with some real materials.Chen Yuan was no longer reserved, and commented: "Mr. , but the shape of the font is still slightly square and flat, not square enough. The turning point of the strokes is slightly rounded, and the edges and corners are not clear enough, resulting in a lack of charm and charm.”

Zhong Yao was thoughtful when he heard the pertinent comments.

Just talking and not practicing fake moves, Chen Yuan knew that Xiaolu's hand was not enough to conquer Zhong Yao just now, so he picked up another brush on the table, found a blank bamboo slip, and wrote it neatly in the regular script that was widely circulated in later generations. He wrote: "In ancient times, those who wished to bring virtue to the world first ruled their country; those who wanted to rule their country first ordered their families; those who wanted to order their families first cultivated their bodies; those who wanted to cultivate their bodies first rectified their minds; Those who want to straighten their minds must first be sincere in their intentions; those who wish to be sincere in their intentions must first extend their knowledge, and the extension of knowledge lies in the investigation of things."

Zhong Yao picked up the bamboo slips and carefully held them in the palm of his hand to admire, as if he was holding a piece of priceless jade. He read while reading: "Then you know what you have learned, and you will be sincere when you know it. Cultivate the body, and then the family will be in order, the family will be in order, and then the country will be governed, and the country will be governed, and then the world will be peaceful."

It was done in one go without any modification, this is Chen Yuan's confidence.Slowly putting down the pen in his hand, Chen Yuan raised his head and saw Zhong Yao staring there with his eyes wide open, motionless.

At this moment, Zhong Yao still can't believe that the teenage boy in front of him actually created such a masterpiece.

Thinking about it, even if a teenage boy started practicing calligraphy from the womb, it would only take him more than ten years. Being able to write extremely well is already a genius, not to mention that Chen Yuan could write strokes and strokes. The vertical and horizontal spaces are full of powerful new fonts.

Even though he is a master disciple of Bo Kaigong, this is completely different from Bo Kaigong's Feibai font.

Even though Zhong Yao racked his brains and thought that Chen Yuan was a time traveler, he would never have imagined that in history he would be the founder of italic script widely circulated in later generations.

Of course, Chen Yuan didn't know that Zhong Yao was already full of thoughts and feelings.

In order to successfully recruit Zhong Yao, Chen Yuan thickened his skin and said with emotion: "Yuan, I studied "The Analects of Confucius" and "Spring and Autumn" since I was a child, and I also specialized in calligraphy. At first, I was complacent about what I wrote. The teacher's official script and Feibai, I began to feel that I was shallow, but even the teacher's Feibai could not relieve the ambition in my heart. Think of the rule of Han Wenjing, the prosperity of Han Wu, the rule of Zhaoxuan, the rejuvenation of Guangwu, and the rule of Mingzhang , The prosperity and prosperity of the Yongyuan period, and looking at the big man today, every day is invincible. The depression in my heart is hard to express. I had to express my thoughts through calligraphy, so I created a square shape and flat strokes. Straight, regular and neat new writing method, Yuan made this typeface into regular script. I hope that in the future, it can be just like the typeface written by my pen, which can help me revive the great man and return the common people to a world where they can live and work in peace and contentment.”

The words are not astonishing, and these impassioned remarks completely conquered Zhong Yao. Zhong Yao himself has been impressed by the italics written by Chen Yuan. The blood of the Han Dynasty.

The brief exchange between the two seemed to be calm, but in reality it was turbulent.If Chen Yuan hadn't relied on his good handwriting to break through Zhong Yao's inner line of defense, God knows what else he can do to convince Zhong Yao.

As a time traveler, Chen Yuan knew that the Eastern Han Dynasty was gradually declining, but the might of the Great Han Dynasty in this period still exists.It is impossible to come up and analyze the general situation of the country, saying that troubled times are approaching, my lord wants money, soldiers, soldiers, and territory, but there is a shortage of people, just follow me to ensure that you can eat well and drink spicy food, and you will be appointed as a prince and prime minister .

Through calligraphy, Chen Yuan made a roundabout outflank, hitting Zhong Yao's weak point steadily, accurately and ruthlessly.

Now Zhong Yao has completely put aside Chen Yuan's youthful appearance, completely treating him as a like-minded friend of the same age, and began to exchange his daily practice experience with each other. At first, the two of you wrote and drew on the blank bamboo slips. painting.

As the two of them wrote more and more excitedly, the chatter became more and more joyful, until Zhong Yao ordered his servants to bring out good wine, and the two of them directly held a jug of wine and chatted happily.

Directly ignore Guo Jia and Sima Hui on the side.

Fortunately, Sima Hui and Guo Jia are not stingy people. Watching them discuss calligraphy excitedly, both of them got something.

Especially for Chen Yuan, the two looked at each other with admiration again.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan not only made great achievements in both military and political affairs, but also reached the pinnacle in calligraphy, and even formed a school of his own.

Chen Zichu is truly an unrivaled talent.

Now the two are more interested in Liu Bei.

What kind of character should Liu Bei be who can make Chen Zichu such an outstanding talent willing to use his life! ! !
By the time the two came back to their senses, it was already night.

Only then did Chen Yuan say to Zhong Yao: "Yuan Chang, my lord Liu Shijun built an academy in Jingzhou called Xiangyang Academy. The head of the mountain is my teacher Bo Kaigong. I wonder if Yuan Chang is willing to submit to a teacher of the academy?"

Zhong Yao was well aware of Chen Yuan's intentions. He was a calligrapher and also a wise man.

I also have my own views on the situation in today's world.

Jingzhou is not a good place. To be an academy teacher, Liu Bei does not have to be an official. At that time, he will have enough time to observe the world's major events. If Liu Bei can be assisted, he can be assisted.

With the prestige and power of the Yingchuan Zhong family, Liu Bei would not force himself to stay if he thought about it.

In addition, after entering the academy, I can often ask Cai Yong and Chen Yuan, two calligraphers, for calligraphy, how happy it is!
So Zhong Yao said with a smile: "Thanks to Meng Zichu for not giving up, Yao will be respectful rather than obedient."

Chen Yuan was overjoyed, of course he didn't know what Zhong Yao was thinking.

Even if you know it, it's nothing.

Just kidding, Chen Yuan never doubted Liu Bei's charisma.

Except for Liu Ba and Chen Qun who failed, others have never failed.

As long as Zhong Yao arrives in Xiangyang, he will never escape Liu Bei's clutches.

The entire Xiangyang Academy is Liu Bei's talent base, whether it is a teacher or a student.
