"Grandma, this is too expensive for my grandson to accept." Ye Mingzhu was very valuable, not to mention it was given to the old lady by my sister-in-law, so Li Yi quickly put the brocade box back.
He doesn't have much interest in this kind of treasures. What are beads that can emit faint fluorescence? They can only illuminate places the size of a palm, and they are not even as good as a fifteen-watt light bulb...
"It's all a family, nothing precious or not, just take it." The old lady smiled and stuffed the things back into Li Yi's hands.
I have always felt a great guilt for the child who has been homeless for twenty years. What is a night pearl? Can it make up for what I owe him all these years
Li Yi held the box containing the Ye Mingzhu in his hand, and when he faced the old lady's insistence and didn't know how to refuse, there were a few surprised voices not far from him.
"This "Picture of Longevity" has a bit of foundation."
"Interesting and interesting, you see, these 'shou' characters put together, don't they look like a spirit ape holding a fairy peach?"
"Two steps back, it will be clearer."
"The two "Pictures of Longevity", each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Although this one is not as good as Zhao Chun in terms of skill, it is better in its novelty. It is not bad..."
…
…
The "Longevity Picture" made by Li's parents and grandsons is obviously not as terrible as everyone expected. It is not as good as Chen Chun, who has already entered the room in calligraphy, but it is also of an upper-middle level. It is rare to find another way, large and small. Hundreds of " The word "shou" is spelled into "Spiritual Ape Presenting Peach Picture", which has an additional layer of meaning, and it took a lot of thought.
Fang didn't see the expected scene, and Fang's face was a little ugly.
"Let me take a look."
A figure squeezed over from behind, and when they saw the person coming, several people stepped aside one after another.
All the members of the Zuo family are masters of calligraphy. Grandpa Zuo, who is still alive today, has superb regular script in one hand, which can be said to be worth a thousand dollars. Although Zuo Qiu is not as famous as Grandpa Zuo, he is only inferior to those few masters. These laymen can compare with them.
Zuo Qiu picked up the painting scroll, paced and admired it, but did not make any comments.
The "Longevity Map" does not really have 10,000 longevity characters, but just a quantifier describing a large number. The most common one should actually be called "Hundred Shoutu".
The pair Zuo Qiu is holding in his hand is such a "Hundred Shou Tu".
The "Longevity Picture" is loved by everyone. It is not a simple pile of many longevity characters. Each longevity character is written in a different way. Zhao Chun's "Wan Shou Picture" is very regular. Similar, one line and one vertical, very neat, it is not an exaggeration to call it "Wan Shou Tie".
In comparison, the picture in Zuo Qiu's hand is the real "picture" of longevity.
Aside from the word "shou", looking from a distance, this is clearly a picture of a spirit ape offering peaches. From this alone, it can be seen that the man is not only proficient in calligraphy, but his painting skills are not far behind.
Of course, Zuo Qiu didn't care what the painting looked like, all of his eyes were attracted by the "Shou" characters, whether big or small, straight or oblique.
Zhao Chun is well-known, but in Zuo Qiu's eyes, he is still very immature. If he wants to criticize, he can pick out ten thousand things wrong with a "Longevity Picture".
However, on the picture scroll in front of him, he couldn't find a single mistake, as if it was really perfect.
Of course, perfection does not exist, the only possibility is that his attainments are not enough to pick out mistakes.
He certainly couldn't fault it.
Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Ouyang Xun, Zhao Mengfu, Liu Gongquan... "Longevity Picture", which combines the works of countless calligraphy masters, regular script, running script, cursive script, dozens of different fonts, are all written by its founders at their peak. If Zuo Qiu can Picking out the faults has long been famous all over the world.
For this picture, he has temporarily put down the scriptures that the old monk asked for in the past two days. All the books about calligraphy and painting in the library have been eaten into his mind. Miss Liu Er asked him several times for fighting the landlord. In the end, they all stayed in the room and acted as the ink grinding maids. If he didn't make a decent thing, I would be sorry for his hard work in the past two days.
"Good writing, good writing..." Zuo Qiu held the scroll, as if intoxicated in it, and walked slowly, under the eyes of everyone, passed through the crowd, gradually drifting away.
"Bah, shameless guy, the old lady dares to make up her mind about the congratulatory gift!" Yan Zhang was the first to react. He had known each other for many years and naturally knew the other party's character. His face changed and he hurriedly chased him out.
A moment later, Zuo Qiu put the "Longevity Picture" on the table with a regretful expression on his face.
With such a picture, he doesn't need any ancient posts, what a pity, what a pity...
The demented looks on the faces of all the guests are for a picture, so what
The grandson of Li's parents is not a famous calligrapher, is it worth Zuo Qiu to do this
However, seeing the two of them staring at the picture eagerly, unwilling to look away for a moment, even people with slow reactions can understand.
This picture seems really unusual...
You know, when Zhao Chun's "Longevity Picture" was brought out just now, the two of them were not even interested in taking a look.
There are those who are surprised and those who are doubtful, but more people have doubts about the owner of this picture.
The grandson of Li's parents said that this picture was made by him himself. However, how could it be possible that something that two accomplished calligraphers treated like this came from the hand of a young man
The old lady put away the "Longevity Picture" in person, and the smile on her face was even wider. For her, it was enough to know that it was a congratulatory gift from her grandson.
As for Zuo Qiu and Yan Zhang, they were surrounded by several people, and faint voices could be heard.
"How does this "Longevity Picture" compare to Zhao Chun's?"
"Can't be compared? That's Zhao Chun!"
"They are all young people. It is possible to say that he surpassed Zhao Chun, but Zuo Shaojian said that he is far behind him, but he is too humble."
…
…
Li Yi was playing with Miss Liu Er's sword in his hand, wasting time in boredom.
When the ancients celebrated their birthdays, it was not like modern times. Cut a cake and say a few words of happy birthday to eat it.
After several cumbersome etiquettes, the little fat man's stomach has been growling for at least a quarter of an hour, and he still hasn't received the order to use the chopsticks.
Two men who combined were older than the old lady sat next to Li Yi, one on the left and the other on the right. .
Of course, Li Yi refused this kind of unreasonable request without even thinking about it.
It takes too much energy to write this thing, the scriptures promised to the old monk have not been finished, and the old lady will leave the capital in a few days after the birthday banquet, how can I have time to write that thing for them
