Life in the world of film and television

After a few words of greeting, another game of chess ended. Several people simply stopped playing and went to Qin Siyuan's study to admire calligraphy and paintings.

The painting that Song Mao brought, and the calligraphy written by Lin Fu and everyone Lin, were also taken out to appreciate by several people.

After talking and laughing for a while, Qin Siyuan said with a smile: "Li Heng, I heard that at the Puyuan Poetry Recital that day, you not only wrote good lyrics, but also your calligraphy was excellent, and you had everyone's style. It's a pity that it was collected by the Pu family. It is said that in the future It must be displayed at every Puyuan Poetry Festival.”

Kang Xian interjected: "If it is hung up every Mid-Autumn Festival, I am afraid that in the next few years, there will be no more good poems chanting the moon on the Qinhuai River."

Qin Siyuan smiled: "This is exactly the reason, but the word "Puyuan" also greatly adds luster to the Pu family's Puyuan Poetry Club."

Then he turned to look at Li Mu: "Li Heng, it's a rare opportunity today, but if you want to leave me an authentic painting of the Water Melody Song Head, you won't have to go to Pu's house to pay my respects."

Kang Xian also answered: "That's right, that's right! Li Heng also wrote one for me. Maybe it will be valuable in a few years."

Li Mu smiled and said: "Kang's family has a great business, so I still care about this."

Kang Xian blew his beard and glared: "I even gave you the best purple bamboo shoots, so of course I want to get them back."

Li Mu laughed loudly: "Okay! You two have spoken, so I can only show my shame. If the writing is not good, don't be surprised."

Qin Siyuan said: "Liheng, there is no need to be modest. I have heard several people praise your handwriting. It is unique and extremely rare."

Li Mu smiled. Fundamentally speaking, his calligraphy was actually about swordsmanship. With his superb control of swordsmanship and his profound swordsmanship, he could use his pen as a sword.

The first words I wrote were like a cold sword, with a frightening aura. As the level of swordsmanship improves, the level of calligraphy also improves accordingly. Nowadays, with the level of swordsmanship that is both exquisite and skillful, the words written naturally have a return to nature style.

At this time, the servant had prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and Li Mu was not polite. He splashed ink and finished the work in one go.

Compared to the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, his handwriting has improved again. Each stroke of iron hook silver painting is elegant and smart, and the whole poem has its own artistic conception from beginning to end. From the first word to the last word, it goes on and on, like the meaning of a sword, endlessly.

After finishing the poem, several people clasped their hands and sighed.

Kang Xian quickly asked someone to spread the rice paper again and said with a smile: "Li Heng, give that one to Duke Qin. This old man will take it away. The writing cannot be worse than the last one."

Li Mu said: "Since Mr. Kang said so, I have a new writing method that just works."

As he said that, he picked up his pen and wrote the song "Shui Tune Song" in Song style. Several people's eyes were a little bright, with indescribable admiration in their eyes.

Song style is said to be Song style, but it is actually a font that was summarized and matured in the Ming Dynasty.

Later, Song style spread to Japan, where it was called "Ming Dynasty style", or "Ming style" for short.

There is also a saying that Song style was invented by Qin Hui, but it is mostly based on rumors.

Some of the fonts of some master calligraphers in the Song Dynasty are indeed quite similar to the Song style, but they are only similar and not mature. This type of font did not gradually mature until the Ming Dynasty.

Li Mu also learned Songti in Swordsman, although he didn't take it seriously and didn't have much skill. I came to this world and practiced for half a year. With the blessing of using the pen as a sword, my writing was naturally excellent.

After writing the calligraphy in one hand, several people looked at Li Mu differently, especially Qin Siyuan and Kang Xian. They used to be quite talented friends, but now with this unique handwriting, they will definitely leave their names in history and impress thousands of people. Students admire him.

Hundreds of years later, people may not know who Qin Siyuan and Kang Xian are, and they definitely will not know who Ning Yi is.

Seeing the surprised looks of several people, Li Mu smiled, spread out a piece of rice paper again, and wrote on it casually: "Three mountains and half fall outside the green mountains, and two rivers separate Bailuzhou."

This time, Li Mu used the Thin Gold Body, which he also learned at Xiaoao. After more than half a year of practice in this world, coupled with his current calligraphy realm, the writing effect was naturally excellent.

Qin Siyuan looked at his words with bright eyes, and silently recited two lines of poetry written by Li Muxin: "These two lines of poetry are really good in mood. They are just two sentences, and they have everyone's style. Li Heng, your talent Even better than I imagined.”

Kang Xian quickly stroked his beard and looked at the newly written thin gold handwriting with glowing eyes: "Li Heng is not only good at writing poems, but also writes better handwriting. It is even and straight, with strong muscles and bones, fresh and smooth, and elegant. Smart and dynamic, this style of calligraphy takes the thinness of regular script to the extreme.”

Qin Siyuan nodded with deep sympathy: "Li Heng's calligraphy, especially these two new fonts, are really refreshing. If you study hard, you may not be able to become a great master in the future. Our dynasty can also produce a person no less than Yan Zhenqing, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy master.

"Coupled with Li Heng's own talent, he will not only leave a name in history, but also be famous in the future."

Not only the two of them, Song Mao next to him was shocked at all. Li Mu's talent exceeded his imagination. Not to mention his talent in poetry, these two fonts alone can become the focus of the world's literati.

Even though he has no official position, the influence of his every move among the literati in the world has surpassed that of the so-called Zhizhou.

After sighing secretly, he even felt a pity for Li Mu that such a person actually became a son-in-law. Although he had a good relationship with the Su family, he felt that a merchant family like the Su family was not worthy of such an amazing talent. A good person, let alone a son-in-law.

Li Mu originally wanted to show off these two fonts casually. After all, he had been practicing for a long time, but he did not expect the reaction of several people to be beyond his expectation.

Come to think of it, it's not surprising.

The development trajectories of the Wu Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were similar. Culture and education were prosperous and there were many literati, which led to the highly developed Confucianism.

In addition, the imperial court was extremely lenient towards literati and officials and had enough freedom, so various innovations and changes emerged accordingly.

Not only in terms of ideas, but also in terms of fonts, many innovations have also been produced.

The Song font and the Thin Gold font are products that were slowly born after standing at the forefront of the times and accumulating various innovations and changes.

However, Thin Gold Style was born earlier, when the Song Dynasty was still there; Song Style was later, and the evolution of fonts was interrupted by the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty that it gradually developed and matured.

In fact, the various innovations and foundations of these two fonts were already available in the Song Dynasty, and the same was true in the Wu Dynasty.

As the saying goes, half a step ahead is a genius, one step ahead is a madman.

Compared with the various innovations in fonts made by the Wu Dynasty today, Song and Thin Gold are equivalent to standing on the basis of this era, half a step ahead.

Let these two fonts not only conform to the aesthetics of contemporary literati and officials in the Wu Dynasty, but also be novel and stunning enough.

No wonder, whether it is Qin Siyuan, Kang Xian or Song Mao, they are all so appreciative and shocked. The timing of his appearance is really perfect.

Next, several people got into a heated discussion about the two fonts written by Li Mu.

Li Mu knew that these people's calligraphy attainments and basic skills were much more solid than his own. Listen more and talk less, stay silent most of the time, and occasionally say a few words on a few key points.

It would be of great benefit.

After chatting for a long time at Qin Siyuan's house, Li Mu finally took his leave by writing a few words each in Song and Slim Gold styles and giving them to several people.

On the other side, in the evening, several young people headed by Su Wenxing sat anxiously in the pavilion of Su Mansion.

Ever since Song Mao left in the afternoon, Su Wenxing had been scratching his head and waiting for the others to return. Who made him boast in front of a few people, saying that his cousin's coming this time would definitely expose Ning Yi's reputation-seeking disguise. These young men all belong to the second family of the Su family. If Song Mao hadn't come, Su Wenxing wouldn't be the center of attention at this time.

They usually say they have a good relationship, but in fact they just eat, drink and have fun together. Because they are related, they naturally get closer.

Since we are both reaping the benefits of living under the second house, apart from eating, drinking and having fun, we will certainly worry about the future fate of our second house.

As a woman, Su Tan'er is younger than them, but she compares them to nothing. How can she make them willing to do so?

After waiting anxiously for a while, Su Wentian said: "Wen Xing, do you know where Mr. Song has gone? He hasn't come back yet. If he goes to the Qinhuai River, our wait today will probably be in vain."

Su Wenxing said: "My cousin has something serious to do this time, so why would he go there? However, he should be visiting someone like the teacher."

Su Wentian said: "Master Song's teacher must be a big shot."

"Wen Xing, you said that if we were lucky enough to go together, we would be given a few words and advice, then..."

One person laughed and said: "Wentian, please stop daydreaming. You only have a little bit of ink in your belly, and you don't work hard on weekdays. If someone gives you a few words of advice, you will be enlightened. It's so beautiful!"

"It's really that simple. With his cousin here, Wen Xing would have figured it out a long time ago and wouldn't be still dawdling around now."

Su Wentian was a little unconvinced: "It's not that we didn't meet famous teachers when we were young, like those mediocre teachers in Yushan Academy, what's the point of studying there? We studied there for so many years and didn't learn anything! "

Su Wenxing also agreed: "Wen Tian said it well. The teachers in Yushan Academy are all mediocre people. I don't think even people like Ning Yi who are just trying to gain fame can become teachers. No wonder we can't read well and a bunch of mediocre people can still teach us." Produce good students.”

Just as he was talking, a boy came over to report: "Sir, Master Song is back."

Before Su Wenxing could be happy, the boy continued: "Sir Song...Sir Song came back with Ning Yi. They seem to have known each other and had a great time chatting with each other."

Several people's faces sank into the water for a while. Su Wentian stood up and said: "Wen Xing, what does your uncle mean? Didn't you say that your uncle had already agreed and went to visit some teacher in the afternoon? Why are you hanging out with Ning Yi now? Come together."

Su Wenxing was also a little confused. He was stunned for a long time. He didn't know what he thought of. His eyes lit up and he said: "Guys, what's the rush? This is my uncle's strategy. After all, Ning Yi is valued by grandpa. Even my uncle can't come up directly. To embarrass him, everything must be done with evidence.”

"If you want to expose his true identity, you have to get close to him. After the dinner, when you lose your vigilance, your uncle will naturally take the opportunity to test him. Even if he wants to refuse, he has no choice."

"Wentian, how can the considerations of a big man like my uncle be as simple as yours!"

As he spoke, he clapped the folding fan in his hand: "Please watch the show tonight!"

……

Ning Yi returned to the small courtyard, and the news that he and Song Mao had returned together and were very happy with each other had spread in the Su family. After all, one is the son-in-law, the other is one of the Su family's official backers, and a relative of the second wife. The two of them were able to talk, laugh, and talk happily, which really surprised many people.

At Qin Siyuan's house, he personally revealed the relationship between Song Mao and the Su family, probably trying to get closer. After mentioning this level of relatives and hearing that he and Li Mu were actually relatives, Qin Siyuan and Kang Xian actually treated him with less verbal politeness.

Song Mao seemed simple, but he was actually quite shrewd. It was easy for Li Mu to deal with such a shrewd person.

Because this kind of person is better at weighing the pros and cons and is more aware of current affairs.

As soon as he returned to the small courtyard, Xiaochan saw him, called "Uncle" and ran over in a bounding motion.

"Uncle, you don't know, there are guests here today, and there will be a banquet in the house tonight..."

……

The dinner party started as usual, with seven or eight tables set up in total. The main figures of the Su family, as well as some nearby shopkeepers, all came.

Naturally, juniors like Su Wenxing cannot be absent.

As soon as Li Mu and Su Tan'er sat down, Su Wenxing and others also sat down nearby and looked over quietly, as if they were watching a good show.

Su Wenxing, in particular, whispered with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Look out, my uncle will definitely come over later to test Ning Yi's knowledge. The show will begin soon."

However, to his disappointment, Song Mao seemed to have no intention of this at all. He chatted and laughed with the elders of the Su family. After a long while, he stood up, picked up the wine glass, walked around the nearby tables, said hello, which was considered very respectful.

Soon, an exciting scene for Su Wenxing and others came. Song Mao came to Li Mu, smiled and chatted casually for a few words, had another drink, and then returned.

Everyone was surprised that Song Mao was so polite, but Su Wenxing and others were stunned.

"how so…"

"Didn't you say you want to teach him?"

"Wen Xing, what on earth did you tell your uncle? Not only did you not take the exam, but you actually gave him face like this."

Su Wenxing's face was as dark as water, and he hesitated: "Perhaps, uncle feels that the time is not right, so he will take action next..."

However, until the banquet ended and Li Mu and Su Tan'er left hand in hand, the scene was still peaceful.

Su Wenxing listened blankly to the complaints in his ears.

"What? There's no chance at all..."

"Wen Xing, didn't I tell you that if you can't ask your uncle to help, just say no? Is it necessary to fool us? You said you're going to watch a show tonight."

……

Here, Song Mao left the banquet, returned to his residence, washed his face, and immediately felt much more awake.

I carefully opened the two paintings I brought back today, admired them for a while, admired them for a while, and then put them away.

Today was originally a routine visit to Duke Qin, but the harvest was huge. Not to mention other things, the relationship with Duke Qin has obviously improved today, and I also got to know Duke Kang.

Thinking of Kang Xian, he prepared his pen and ink, took out a greeting card, thought about it in his mind, and wrote: Kang Gongmingyun Taoism...

After writing the post, Song Mao breathed a sigh of relief. Tomorrow he would take the opportunity to submit the greeting card and visit Duke Ming.

As for his cheap nephew, let him test Ning Yi's knowledge. What a joke. He has no intention of intervening in the Su family's affairs, not to mention his cheap nephew, who can't hold up a wall with mud, so why bother!
