King of soft rice

Chapter 424 – Happy New Year to You in Advance
Seeing this, Zhai Nan moved closer to Elder Xu and asked, "Master, why did you ask me?"

Mr. Xu waved his hand directly, without looking at Zhai Nan, he said, "Wen Ya is the daughter of an old friend of mine, you take care of it for me first, and I will take a look at it later."

Zhai Nan smashed it, he didn't expect Mr. Xu to sell him so thoroughly.

Zhai Nan grinned helplessly, and said, "Understood, master." After speaking, he looked at Wenya, "Hi, how about some tea? I'll make some for you right now."

Wen Ya chuckled lightly and said, "There's no need to trouble yourself. In fact, I'm here today for only two things. One is to visit Mr. Xu on behalf of the elders, and the other is to find you, Mr. Zhai."

Zhai Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in his heart: "Here we come, here we come, it's time to see Tu Qiongdao, he must be talking about the show. This guy really can spend a lot of money! If he can frame the old man's painting, he must not It's cheap."

When Zhai Nan was thinking about it, Wen Ya continued: "Looking at this old man who is in good health, I will be able to explain to my father when I go back. It's just that Mr. Zhai..."

Zhai Nan laughed, pretending not to know, and asked: "I don't know you, what can you do with me?"

Wen Ya smiled and said: "Although I don't know Mr. Zhai, my father knows a thing or two about Mr. Zhai's Taoyuan map."

When Zhai Nan heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback.

Isn't it about the show?
Why do you say that Taoyuan is on the map again.

That was drawn temporarily for the purpose of installing the fork!
Wen Ya continued, "That's why when I came this time, I brought this picture of Changbai with wind and snow, and I wanted to exchange it with Mr. Zhai for that picture of Taoyuan."

Zhai Nan couldn't help being taken aback, then looked at Mr. Xu, "Master, is this okay?"

Wen Ya continued: "Mr. Xu said that the painting was drawn by you, so I have to listen to your opinion."

Only then did Mr. Xu say: "Well, what Wen Ya said is correct, that's why I called you here."

Zhai Nan couldn't help asking: "Master, Taoyuan map, are you willing?"

Old Xu shook his head and said, "I can't bear it."

Zhai Nan: "Then you still want to change?"

But Mr. Xu said, "I don't want to part with this one either."

Hearing this, Zhai Nan couldn't help but smash his mouth.

You old man, you are too greedy!

Look at this, it is ready to eat all sizes!
I said that I didn't look up for so long, so I was really fascinated.

Zhai Nan simply said: "Master, I gave you all the paintings, you can figure it out yourself."

Elder Xu also said straightforwardly: "I don't want to part with both, so you can figure it out."

Zhai Nan couldn't help staring, "What should I do?"

Mr. Xu glanced at Zhai Nan, "You drew the picture of Taoyuan, so you can draw another one!"

Zhai Nan understood now, the old man dared to come to him, this is to tire the idiot.

Zhai Nan glanced at Wenya, Wenya smiled softly, and asked, "Mr. Zhai, what do you mean?"

Zhai Nan looked at Mr. Xu again, and asked, "Old man, are you telling me the truth?"

Old man Xu said without looking up: "It seems that the Chinese New Year is almost here, so what are you going to give me?"

Hearing what Old Xu said, Zhai Nan almost spurted blood.

This old man is really, very slippery.

It seems that I have to show my hand today, otherwise I will not be allowed to enter the house next time.

Zhai Nan's eyes rolled wildly for a while, then he smiled and said, "Okay! Old man, do you have any red paper here?"

The old man couldn't help being taken aback, pointed to a pile of things in the corner, and said, "Look for it yourself."

Wen Ya asked enthusiastically, "Is Mr. Zhai going to make a move?"

Zhai Nan waved his hand and said, "You will know later."

Grandpa Xu watched Zhai Nan start looking for something, so he put away the Changbai map of wind and snow on the table and emptied it for Zhai Nan.

Zhai Nan searched for a long time among a pile of painting tools, and finally found four chapters of red paper.It is estimated that this is what Mr. Xu left from last year, and it has already been covered with a layer of dust.

Zhai Nan took the red paper and shook it outside the courtyard before throwing it on the table.

When Mr. Xu saw this, he couldn't help asking in doubt: "What do you want to play, kid? Do you still need red paper?"

Zhai Nan chuckled, "I wish you New Year's greetings in advance!" As he spoke, he picked up a brush.

At the same time, Zhai Nan's other hand took out a leaning puppet, which directly possessed the book sage Wang Xizhi.

Mr. Xu and Wen Ya both had doubts on their faces, not knowing what kind of trick Zhai Nan was going to play.

On the other hand, Zhai Nan smiled, grabbed the brush, and wrote a line of words on the red paper with the cursive style of the scholar Wang Xizhi.

After Zhai Nan finished writing, he asked proudly, "How is it?"

Wen Ya smiled and said nothing, but shook her head helplessly.

Mr. Xu was slightly taken aback, and said, "Happy New Year? Are you kidding me!"

Zhai Nan said frankly: "You didn't say that, do you want a New Year's gift? Master, what do you think of my word?"

Mr. Xu couldn't help saying angrily: "I see your grandma!"

Seeing this, Zhai Nan quickly said: "It's too little, right? I'll write you another one." As he spoke, he wrote another Gong Xi Fa Cai.

Old man Xu stared at Zhai Nan.

Zhai Nan waved his hand and said, "There are two more here, don't leave them empty." As he spoke, he wrote 'Peace in Four Seasons' and 'Everything is going well'.

When Mr. Xu saw this, he almost stretched out his hand to beat Zhai Nan, "You kid is playing tricks on me again, aren't you?"

Zhai Nan quickly waved his hand and said, "Master, I mean it sincerely." Then, he looked at Wenya, "Miss Wen, I use these four characters to exchange the picture of Changbai in wind and snow with you. Do you think it's okay?"

When Zhai Nan said this, it was also a gamble to see if she could see whether the calligraphy was good or bad.

Although Mr. Xu likes calligraphy and painting, he mainly focuses on painting. Compared with Zhai Nan, his understanding of calligraphy is very high.But compared with other professional ones, it is also much worse.

It also happened that the old man was in a fit of anger, so he didn't see whether Zhai Nan's words were good or bad.

And Wen Ya has obviously discovered the beauty of these words, and is carefully discerning Zhai Nan's words.

Although these four characters look like New Year's greetings.But this is written in the line that scholar Wang Xizhi is best at. Let alone writing New Year greetings, even if it is writing 21 catties of sauce elbow, some people like it.

Wen Ya looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but said: "The writing style of this character is smooth and has a unique charm. Although I have seen many cursive script works, to be honest, this is the best one I have seen. At least the living ones Among several calligraphers, no one can exceed these few characters."

Old Master Xu was also taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately moved closer to him and looked at it carefully.

After a long while, old man Xu said, "This character is like the brushwork of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi. It's a pity that the Lanting Xu Shenlong in the museum is only a fragment, and there are too few fonts that can be compared."

Wen Ya also nodded and said, "This is indeed the brushwork of Wang Xizhi, the sage of calligraphy. Mr. Zhai can copy it to such a degree, it can be said to be superb. Even the existing copy of Shenlong is probably not as good as Mr. Zhai's copy."

Zhai Nan said tremblingly: "Of course. When I was in elementary school, I followed the copybook for several weeks. Otherwise, how could I have such a level!"

Mr. Xu laughed and scolded: "You boy, you are said to be fat, and you are still out of breath. If your handwriting is at the level of a primary school student, wouldn't the calligraphers of today live their lives like dogs."

Zhai Nan chuckled, "How do I know that?"

But Wen Ya suddenly said: "Mr. Zhai, if you are willing to help me copy a preface to the Lanting Pavilion, I... can agree to exchange the Changbai map in the wind and snow with you."
