King of Song

Chapter 25 Arty
"Uh..." Huang Tingjian was very surprised. This Mr. Lin said that wind is rain, so he begged for words for no reason?

Lin Zhao suppressed his mood and said with a smile, "That's how it is. There is a restaurant down below that is about to open, but the plaque has not yet been found. Just now I heard that Zunjia is good at calligraphy. I would like to ask Brother Lu Zhi for help!"

"This..." The following words are extremely vulgar, I'm afraid it's a bit overwhelming! "Huang Tingjian subconsciously declined.

If you can't do it, should all scholars in the world commit suicide in shame and indignation?Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Brother Lu Zhi is humble, and please help me. Of course, the retouching fee will not be less!"

"Don't mention money..." Huang Tingjian stopped immediately.

Lin Zhao hurriedly said: "That's right, I'm taking the liberty, brother Lu Zhi, please forgive me!" Why did you ignore this question?Scholars are high-spirited, and they are anxious with you when it comes to money. They don't have any business acumen, really!
Unable to resist Lin Zhao's soft and hard talk, Huang Tingjian pondered for a moment, and finally agreed.During the conversation, the knowledge and temperament revealed by Lin Zhao are obviously not ordinary people.Furthermore, Lin Zhao made it clear that he followed Wang Anshi to investigate the case. Can his identity and background be simple?Although he didn't want to curry favor with others, he didn't want to offend people because of trivial matters.

What's more, Lin Zhao's sincerity is hard to turn down, and it seems impossible not to agree.The matter itself was nothing more than raising a plaque, and there was no major problem... But later facts proved that many things were unintentional and often unexpected.

No one expected that after a few years, the fates of many people would be linked, influenced each other, and even changed because of this plaque...

Asking him to nod, Lin Zhao was very happy.Although Huang Tingjian may not be well-known at the moment, his calligraphy skills should not be bad. It is just a plaque, which does not have that much effect, but it will be worth the money in the future, and maybe it will make a good story.

Another point is the significance of getting to know Huang Tingjian, this is one of the four Sumen scholars!Although Huang Tingjian may not be Su Shi's disciple right now, but in the future...historical records should not have much deviation. If this relationship can be used, it will be a good thing to get to know a generation of great writers!As a time traveler, it is inevitable to be a little excited to see awesome historical celebrities, and then a little arty.

Lin Zhao hit the iron while it was hot and said, "There are pens and inks here, and I invite Brother Lu Zhi... Hehe!"

"Okay!" Now that he had already agreed, Huang Tingjian had to reluctantly agree.

Lin Zhao stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brother, borrow a pen and ink!"

A scholar just finished a painting, thinking that Lin Zhao also wanted to inscribe Xiangguo Temple, so he immediately gave up the case and pen and ink.It's quite a pleasure to hang up the paintings for people to appreciate!
"Brother Lu Zhi, please!"

Only then did Huang Tingjian walk forward slowly, holding his pen and concentrating on it for a moment, and completed the three characters "Jiangnan Residence" in one go.Lin Zhao lowered his head and looked, and it was indeed a sloppy pen, very imposing, and naturally much better than ordinary people's writing.

After the previous scholar saw this, he clapped his hands and applauded: "That's right, it's really a good word... But how do you explain 'Jiangnan Residence'?"

Lin Zhao said with a smile, "I'm opposite Xiangguo Temple, near Zhouqiao, there is a new restaurant called 'Jiangnanju', and it will open soon. Welcome everyone to come and join us..."

"Owns a restaurant?" Several scholars thought Lin Zhao was also a scholar at first, but when they heard that he was a merchant, they backed away immediately.

Damn, I was despised again!Isn't it just that I have read a few broken books? As for being so pretentious, is it fake?Although Lin Zhao was angry in his heart, he said without changing his face: "Well, it is a restaurant, but it is not just a restaurant, but also a place with outstanding literary talent and unique elegance..."

"Oh? Merchants are becoming arty these days? Is it going to open a restaurant? Or a brothel?" Several scholars around laughed together and mocked.

Lin Zhao said with a sneer, "Scholarship and elegance are not about shaking your head with a book, and just pretending to write and draw with that pen. Learning is at your own pace..."

A scholar said with a smile: "So, this merchant is very talented? Show us?"

paralysis!Lao Tzu resented this kind of behavior the most, and Lin Zhao's heart was already furious!

Meng Ruoying rushed over after hearing the news, and said coldly, "Although this young master's painting is finished, if he writes a few lines of poetry, it will be perfect. Lin Zhao, please help him!"

Gu Yuelun just saw that the little horsewhip on the stall was pretty good, and he bought it back and planned to bring it back to Jiangning at the end of the year, as a toy for his brother who was about to be born.He was holding it in his hand at this time, and walked leisurely to his cousin, cheering!

The two daughters are both beautiful, and they are even more eye-catching when they come out together, not to mention that they are surrounded by Lin Zhao on the left and right.The men present felt a little unbalanced in their hearts, hugging left and right, what a blessing!

At the same time as envy, jealousy can't help but start to make troubles, especially the beautiful woman who is not ashamed to ask Lin Zhao to write a poem.So confident?It made people very interested, and several scholars shouted enthusiastically, waiting for Lin Zhao to make a fool of himself.

Lin Zhao glanced at the painting. It was a painting of flowers blooming like a brocade, and a woman was weeping sadly as she watched the fallen flowers all over the ground.Lin Zhao didn't know much about brushwork and skills, but it looked pretty good. If he wanted to come to Xiangguo Temple to perform skills, he must have two brushes, otherwise wouldn't it be boring?

In this case, if you don't agree, it will be a loss of dignity to refute Meng Ruoying's face.Nima!At worst, I just "learned" a song!

Lin Zhao stretched out his hand to take the whip from Gu Yuelun, walked back and forth two or three steps while beating it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Lu Zhi, please help me write something!"

Huang Tingjian was very helpless, whatever!Send the Buddha to the west, nod and agree.

Lin Zhao chanted casually: "The day is slanting in the mighty sorrow of leaving, and the chanting whip points east to the end of the world. Luohong is not a ruthless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect flowers."

Huang Tingjian inscribed while listening, and looked back after he finished writing, and couldn't help but be amazed!To be honest, he never thought highly of Lin Zhao before, but now...it turns out that Mr. Lin is so talented, it's not surprising that Xueshi Wang appreciates him, it's really disrespectful!
The faces of the scholars turned ugly for a moment. Lin Zhao didn't think about such a good poem for a long time.If you read it right, you only took three steps in total, just three steps!Cao Zijian, who was so talented in the past, also had to take seven steps to write a poem...

Especially the one who did the painting, he really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, he really felt ashamed!Just now, he was the one who took the lead and satirized him. He didn't expect to be slapped in the face, nakedly slapped in the face!
Shicai looked down on other people's merchants, but this person's poem...in my painting is a girl who is sad and pessimistic.The two sentences of ruthless things turn into spring mud and protect flowers are definitely classics. The artistic conception and mentality are very different. How can it be compared with others?

Although the poem has nothing to do with the painting, who cares?At this moment, the inscription on the painting is undoubtedly a great irony... The scholar blushed, and grabbed the painting and wanted to tear it to pieces!
Seeing this, Lin Zhao stopped in time and said, "Oh, don't tear it up, leave it there as a family heirloom or something, it will be invaluable in the future! If you tear it up, when you regret it in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you!" While speaking, I was muttering in my heart, who would want to keep a pair of Huang Tingjian's works in his home in future generations, would he have to worry about food, clothing and housing?Really blind!
This is a kind of irony to others, but the scholar couldn't continue tearing up the painting, and became angry from embarrassment, which seemed too tasteless.

Gu Yuelun looked at his cousin adoringly, Meng Ruoying just smiled lightly, he expected Lin Zhao to have this ability, so he was not surprised at all.

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, I've gained a lot today, Brother Lu Zhi, let's go! Let's go to the house for a while and drink a glass of water and wine!"

Huang Tingjian declined and said: "It's getting late today, so I won't bother you at the door. Let's do it another day! Oh, brother Dongyang, there will be a poetry meeting at Tietahu Lake in the future. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Poetry meeting?"

"Drinking and composing poems is so enjoyable... By the way, Mr. Wang is expected to be there too!" For some reason, Huang Tingjian added this sentence.

Lin Zhao hesitated slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, brother Lu Zhi kindly invites you, and I will definitely go there on time next time!" Zhengchou didn't have a chance, just right!Then let's be arty again!
