"Qingzhu... this, is this the signature of 'Fang Cun Zhuji'?" Xu Jinkai quickly recovered and turned to stare at Xu Qingzhu to confirm.
Xu Qingzhu was stunned, and his heart skipped a beat. Did his father discover something?
"Of course...of course."
Xu Qingzhu thought of what Wang Zhou said when he signed, saying that he used Zhang cursive style, and Wang Zhou's identity was written in cursive style. Even with calligraphy, it was impossible for anyone to tell anything.
Having said that, Xu Qingzhu knew that her father was a master of calligraphy. Although he was much worse than Wang Zhou, he was still very famous in the country. At this moment, she was very worried about what her father would notice.
"This... the font of the signature is comparable to Wang Zhou's calligraphy. If it is written with a brush, it should be no worse than Wang Zhou's calligraphy!" Xu Jinkai excitedly held the book and stared at the signature on it carefully.
Xu Jinkai committed an occupational disease on the spot. He gestured in the air with his hands and started copying on the spot.
Xu Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief immediately after hearing this. She was really worried that Wang Zhou's identity would be exposed.
"Old Xu, please return the book to me. I'm telling you, don't try to get my book." Feng Xinran also heard Xu Jinkai's words and couldn't help but look at the signature on the book in her hand carefully, and she couldn't help nodding secretly.
Although Feng Xinran doesn't know calligraphy, he can still distinguish between good and bad calligraphy.
"Well... I'll study it for a few days first..."
Xu Jinkai hurriedly hid the book in his hand behind his back, looked at Feng Xinran nervously, and said with a begging look on his face.
Feng Xinran couldn't help but feel soft when she saw Xu Jinkai's pitiful appearance.
"Okay, I'll lend it to you for two days, but you can't keep it as your own. This is a gift from my daughter."
"Okay." Xu Jinkai gritted his teeth and was forced to nod helplessly.
Regardless of anything else, I can only borrow two days for two days. As for the rest, I will continue to stalk you...
Feng Xinran and Xu Qingzhu looked at each other and smiled.
"Mom, there's another pile over there." Xu Qingzhu pointed to the pile next to him and reminded Feng Xinran.
Because in Xu Qingzhu's opinion, the pile of books still contained surprises.
Feng Xinran glanced at Xu Qingzhu and suddenly felt that things were not that simple. He hurried forward, sat down on the carpet, and opened the stack of books.
""The Legend of Chu Liuxiang"! It's actually "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang"..." Feng Xinran was not calm at all.
"It should be said that it is a complete set!" Xu Qingzhu added.
"What? Isn't the update of the electronic version of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" not finished yet? The physical version has already been printed?" Feng Xinran looked at Xu Qingzhu excitedly. She did not expect that her daughter would bring her such a big surprise this time.
"Pre-printed version! What you have in your hand is one of only a few sets..." Xu Qingzhu said with a smile.
When she saw her parents' happy faces, she felt extremely happy. This is what she wanted.
"I just told your dad that "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" will not be updated tonight, and there is always something worrying in my heart... I didn't expect you to send the whole set just now." Feng Xinran was very happy, and she stepped forward to give Xu Qingzhu a
He hugged her and kissed her on the cheek.
"My dear daughter, you did a good job this time."
Xu Qingzhu also laughed.
"You...you..." Xu Jinkai was no longer calm at this moment. He had just flipped through the two stacks of books curiously and found that each one had a signature of "square inch pearls", and they were all hand-signed.
"So many hand-signed signatures? That wife wants to discuss something with you..." Xu Jinkai looked at Feng Xinran with a flattering look.
"No! There's no door!"
Feng Xinran naturally knew what Xu Jinkai wanted to discuss, and immediately refused without even giving him a chance to speak.
"Can……"
Xu Jinkai rubbed his hands, and he discovered that the signature of "Fang Cun Zhuji" and Wang Zhou's calligraphy are completely different systems, but it must be said that they are both masters of calligraphy.
"There is no need to discuss it. If I continue to pester you, then you can also return this book to me." Feng Xinran was reluctant to part with it.
"Stop it, my dear wife, you are too cruel." Xu Jinkai couldn't laugh or cry. He had no choice but to shut up and not dare to quarrel with his wife any longer.
Feng Xinran happily sorted out the two sets of books one by one, and then looked at Xu Qingzhu curiously.
"Qingzhu, um... what is your relationship with 'Fang Cun Zhuji'? Is he a boy or a girl? How old is he? Is he single or..." Feng Xinran looked at Xu Qingzhu and asked meaningfully.
In Feng Xinran's view, the relationship that allowed Fang Cun Zhuji to give her two sets of pre-printed books, all of which were hand-signed, was absolutely extraordinary.
"Mom, are you checking your household registration? I have a good relationship with him. We have interacted several times online. This time I heard that you like his books, so I tried to talk to him. Unexpectedly, the results were pretty good.
"Xu Qingzhu said calmly and avoided the topic. She couldn't tell her mother that 'Fang Cun Zhuji' was Wang Zhou and Wang Zhou was 'Fang Cun Zhuji'.
Of course, Xu Qingzhu wanted to explain it clearly, but it was difficult for Wang Zhou to explain it.
She promised Wang Zhou, but there was nothing she could do.
Feng Xinran looked at Xu Qingzhu, obviously suspicious, but she couldn't see anything from Xu Qingzhu's face.
"'Fang Cun Zhuji's' calligraphy skills are no worse than Wang Zhou's, and both of them have their own merits." Xu Jinkai suddenly said, he carefully studied the signature of 'Fang Cun Zhuji', and finally came to a conclusion.
Xu Qingzhu rolled his eyes. Needless to say, it was all written by Wang Zhou himself.
"Both calligraphy fonts have reached the level of Dacheng. They are equally matched! I didn't expect that besides Wang Zhou, there are masters among the people!" Xu Jinkai was full of emotion and admiration.
"By the way, didn't you bring me a gift too? Where's the gift?" Xu Jinkai saw Feng Xinran's gift and couldn't help but have a little expectation for his gift.
Just in case...
Xu Jinkai was full of hope.
Xu Jinkai stared at Xu Qingzhu, rubbing his hands, his eyes shining brightly.
"Um...didn't you just not want it?"
Xu Qingzhu began to grasp it at this moment, looking at her father and deliberately pretending to be confused as she looked at Xu Jinkai.
"No matter what the gift your daughter brings you, it's all from your heart. How could you not want it?" Xu Jinkai said seriously.
"Tch..." Feng Xinran curled her lips disdainfully. It was obvious that she had a firm grasp on Xu Jinkai's thoughts.
Xu Qingzhu couldn't help but laugh.
Both Feng Xinran and Xu Qingzhu knew what Xu Jinkai had in mind.
"What kind of gift does dad want?" Xu Qingzhu did not take out the gift, but looked at her curiously and asked Xu Jinkai.
"Of course it's Wang Zhou's calligraphy...but it can also be a set of signed books by 'Fang Cun Zhuji'. In fact, like your mother, I have been reading the 'Fang Cun Zhuji' book. I'm...well, he's half a book fan.
Right." Xu Jinkai blurted out instinctively, but when he saw Xu Qingzhu and Feng Xinran's understanding expressions, he couldn't help but explain a few more words.
Feng Xinran gave him a blank stare.
Xu Jinkai rubbed his nose in embarrassment. After all, it was just nonsense in front of his wife. The key was in front of his daughter. This was a bit embarrassing.
Xu Qingzhu squatted down and took out a yellow cardboard box about twenty or thirty centimeters long from the suitcase. It was wrapped with tape and looked like an ordinary express delivery, and then he handed it to Xu Jinkai.
"this……"
Xu Jinkai frowned. He originally had high expectations for this, but now he couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw this simple cardboard box.
But since it was a gift from his daughter, he was embarrassed not to accept it.
Feng Xinran was also stunned, looking curiously at the long ordinary express carton that Xu Qingzhu handed to Xu Jinkai.
"What is this?" Xu Jinkai took it, but had no desire to open it, and looked at Xu Qingzhu and asked.
"A gift for you." Xu Qingzhu looked at him.
"I know that is a gift for me, but I want to ask, what's inside?" Xu Jinkai almost choked at Xu Qingzhu's words, but still had no desire to open it. After all, the outer packaging was just an express package.
Judging from the packaging alone, it is much inferior to Feng Xinran’s gift, and the shape is definitely not a book!
"You'll know after you open it and take a look." Xu Qingzhu smiled, but she just wouldn't tell Xu Jinkai.
Xu Jinkai cried and laughed.
"If you don't want it, give it to me!" Feng Xinran was so angry when she saw Xu Jinkai's look that she immediately started to fight.
"What are you thinking about? This is a gift from my daughter." Xu Jinkai quickly hid behind him when he heard Feng Xinran's intrusion.
Under Feng Xinran's eager gaze, Xu Jinkai hurriedly opened the outer packaging.
The true nature of what's inside is revealed.
"this……"
Xu Jinkai's eyes widened immediately, and he carefully took out the items inside with a look of disbelief.
"Is this... a set of words? Or a painting?"
Xu Jinkai excitedly took off the plastic film bag, and then opened the rolled-up work.
"This..." Xu Jinkai's eyes lit up.
This font is very familiar to him. It is Wang Zhou's cursive writing. The charm and momentum of this book are definitely from Wang Zhou's hand.
Sure enough, as expected, the signature was Wang Zhou.
And there is a line of small words next to it, which is presented to Professor Xu Jinkai of Imperial University.
This immediately made Xu Jinkai's whole body elated!
Feel refreshed!
Xu Jinkai hurriedly looked at those two lines of words.
"When the sky is strong, a gentleman will strive to strengthen himself; when the terrain is weak, a gentleman will be virtuous."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
"A good sentence, if the sky is strong, a gentleman will strive for self-improvement; if the terrain is strong, a gentleman will carry things with kindness..." Xu Jinkai held the words in his hand and kept chanting.
At this moment, the only thing left in Xu Jinkai's world is that word.
His eyes were shining, and his whole body was immersed in it.
…
Xu Jinkai is a university professor specializing in ancient languages. He can better understand the connotation and true meaning of these two sentences.
The more you read, the more profound you feel the truth contained in these two sentences.
Seeing Xu Jinkai's happy look, Xu Qingzhu also smiled brightly.
Two days ago, when Xu Qingzhu made this request to Wang Zhou, Wang Zhou immediately became energetic and thought about it for a long time before seriously writing this sentence!
This was a great opportunity to please his future father-in-law. He couldn't miss it, and unless he didn't make a move, he had to play it big.
Wang Zhou wrote these two sentences carefully, which is very consistent with Xu Jinkai's status as a professor at Imperial University.
I believe that university professor Xu Jinkai will definitely like the charm of these two sentences!
Feng Xinran looked at her husband's crazy look and immediately approached Xu Qingzhu and asked in a low voice.
"A work by Wang Zhou?"
Xu Qingzhu nodded.
"Damn girl, it seems that your relationship with Wang Zhou is really unusual!"
Feng Xinran grabbed Xu Qingzhu's wrist and stared at Xu Qingzhu with a playful expression, looking her up and down.
Obviously, Feng Xinran smelled something unusual.
Wang Zhou has written several poems since his debut. Except for the two poems for Mr. Li, the rest seem to be related to Xu Qingzhu.
If the relationship between Xu Qingzhu and Wang Zhou was ordinary, Feng Xinran, as a barrister, would not believe it.
"Tell me! What is the relationship between you two?"
Feng Xinran is not so easy to deceive. She is a well-known barrister in the imperial capital and has very vicious eyes.
"Friend? Confidant? Probably a confidant..."
Xu Qingzhu didn't expect that Feng Xinran would start to doubt so quickly. It seemed that she was too arrogant, but she was already prepared.
"Are you sure it's not that kind of relationship?" Feng Xinran obviously still didn't believe it.
As a barrister, her professionalism told her that the matter between Wang Zhou and Xu Qingzhu was not that simple.
As a woman, her intuition told her that the relationship between Xu Qingzhu and Wang Zhou was a bit unusual.
"For the time being..." Xu Qingzhu didn't really know how to answer the question.
If you say no, then you are cursing yourself for breaking up! If you say yes, then there will be big problems...
But before Xu Qingzhu could think of what to say, Feng Xinran interrupted. "Mom thinks this little guy Wang Zhou is good. The key is that your father admires him very much. If you think it's okay, you can try dating him first."
After a while, maybe we will get together in the end."
"At least if you two really get together, you don't have to worry about your father and I being picky about our son-in-law!"
Xu Qingzhu was stunned. She didn't expect Feng Xinran to say these words, which surprised her. It was obvious that her implication was that if her future son-in-law was Wang Zhou, then her parents would be cleared.
Xu Qingzhu was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and she pretended to be confused.
"This...it depends on fate."
Feng Xinran looked at Xu Qingzhu and nodded in agreement.
"Qingzhu, you did a great job! Dad likes this gift so much!" Xu Jinkai came back to his senses and suddenly turned to Xu Qingzhu, giving her great recognition.
"Haha..." Xu Jinkai's whole person became different.
He was holding the words in his hand now, and his eyes were full of love.
"Well... you two are chatting while I go frame this calligraphy." Xu Jinkai was so happy that he carefully held the calligraphy, said hello to Xu Qingzhu and Feng Xinran, and then went into the study.
"Dad, do you need help?" Xu Qingzhu is a master of framing. When he heard that his father was going to frame it, he couldn't help but ask.
Xu Qingzhu wanted to escape from her mother. If she continued to be trapped by her mother, she would really bring it upon herself.
Her mother is indeed a gold medal lawyer, her vision is so vicious!
"No need, you finally go home and have a good chat with your mother." Xu Jinkai had already entered the study, and his voice came from the study.
