Chapter 566 What do these fourteen words mean?
"Okay, okay...slow down, we have time, don't rush, take your time..." Wang Zhou nodded hurriedly.
Wang Zhou was pulled by Xu Qingzhu and walked closer.
There were so many people gathered there, with three floors inside and three floors outside, that even Wang Zhou and Xu Qingzhu couldn't squeeze in.
"Brother, what is this for? Why are there so many people?"
Seeing that Xu Qingzhu couldn't squeeze in, Wang Zhou was anxiously thinking of a way. He couldn't help but ask someone next to him out of curiosity.
"This is the shop of calligraphy master Sun Lao. On the 9th of every month, Mr. Sun invites celebrities in the calligraphy world to exchange calligraphy outside the shop..."
"Mr. Sun?" Wang Zhou muttered in confusion.
"Which Mr. Sun?"
He did know an Elder Sun, but he didn't know if it was that Elder Sun. If it was that Elder Sun, it's no wonder that it attracted such a group of people to watch.
"That's Mr. Sun Yuhuan, retired professor from Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts!"
"Ah...it's Mr. Sun...of course I know, he is a leader in the calligraphy circle in Shanghai!" Wang Zhou nodded hurriedly.
How could Wang Zhou not know about Sun Yuhuan? The last time he went to "Meilin Tinghai" for an appointment with Jiang Meihai, Sun Yuhuan was there.
"Since you know Mr. Sun, you must also be a calligraphy enthusiast. Let me tell you, tonight not only Mr. Sun, but also Mr. Jiang and the others, six big names in the calligraphy circle are gathered together!"
"Well……"
Wang Zhou was stunned. He didn't expect that he and Xu Qingzhu would meet acquaintances while visiting the ancient town. This was really fate.
"Then what are they doing? How can they attract so many people?" Wang Zhou was very curious. After all, calligraphy is a niche and not many people like it in modern society.
But there are really a lot of people at the scene now. It is roughly estimated that there must be dozens or even hundreds of people.
"It seems that this is your first time here. Tonight, Mr. Sun will join forces with five of his old friends, who are all well-known big names in the calligraphy world in Shanghai. They will create a work together. The work of six people will be given as a gift.
For those who are destined... Of course, even if you are not the one who is destined tonight, it will definitely be a calligraphy feast if you are lucky enough to see the calligraphy works jointly produced by the six elders."
"Of course, there are some people here who are not just here to appreciate Liu Lao's calligraphy works, but are here to take photos, videos, and even secretly live broadcast. After all, the six calligraphers are celebrities in the Magic City, and they are here in the ancient town.
Doing calligraphy will still attract a large number of people's attention online..."
Wang Zhou nodded, and Xu Qingzhu asked curiously, "A destined person? What makes you a destined person?"
"Have you seen those people in front? They are all calligraphy enthusiasts. They came to show their calligraphy first. The Six Elders will make selections based on their works and select the best calligraphy work tonight and the best calligraphy work tonight.
The author is a destined person. Of course, the qualifications for the competition are also stipulated, and the participating enthusiasts must not be over thirty-five years old..."
"Thirty-five years old? It's obvious that they intend to support the younger generation..." Wang Zhou nodded, knowing very well what the six elders had planned.
"Brother, you are good. You can see what Mr. Sun and the others are thinking at a glance. In fact, in the past three years, Mr. Sun and the others have relied on this method to promote and encourage calligraphy enthusiasts... They are the real benevolent people..." Around
When people mentioned Sun Yuhuan and the others, they praised them repeatedly.
Wang Zhou and Xu Qingzhu looked at each other, and Xu Qingzhu whispered to Wang Zhou, "Husband, it's your turn to appear."
"Me? Why am I appearing? This is a special performance for Mr. Sun and the others. They may not recognize me, but as long as I write, they will definitely recognize me." Wang Zhou couldn't help but wonder when he heard Xu Qingzhu's words.
asked.
"I think this move by Mr. Sun and the others is really great and can really encourage people. So...since we have met, my husband should be able to do something, at least in the field of calligraphy. After all, these people
Most of them are calligraphy enthusiasts, so they are worth encouraging." Xu Qingzhu looked at Wang Zhou and still muttered in a voice that only she and the two of them could hear.
"Then wouldn't we be exposed?"
"It's okay, I'll be separated from you for now. Let Wenhua and Ruzhi stay with me. After you finish writing, we'll run away..." Xu Qingzhu said with a smile.
"Then... okay..." Wang Zhou looked at Xu Qingzhu, smiled and nodded.
In fact, Wang Zhou also had this idea, but after all, Xu Qingzhu was with him, and he was afraid that if his identity was exposed, people around him would notice his relationship with Xu Qingzhu, and Xu Qingzhu would also be exposed.
"If I'm exposed, then we won't be able to go shopping..." Wang Zhou did not forget to remind Xu Qingzhu.
"If you are exposed, we will run away..." Xu Qingzhu winked at Wang Zhou with her beautiful eyes and smiled happily.
Wang Zhou looked at Xu Qingzhu's mischievous smile and couldn't help but nodded. "Okay, then we are here for the 'Battle Escape'."
"Yes, yes...this is exciting!"
…
Wang Zhou and Xu Qingzhu saw that there were still many people queuing up to participate in the calligraphy competition, so they simply walked around first and then bought some fun and delicious things.
The two of them had a great time playing.
Wang Zhou gave the fun things Xu Qingzhu bought to the Xie brothers.
Half an hour later, Wang Zhou and Xu Qingzhu returned to the calligraphy shop again.
There are three people left in line at this moment.
Xu Qingzhu separated from Wang Zhou, while Zhang Wenhua and Qin Ruzhi protected Xu Qingzhu on the left and right. This was the result of Wang Zhou's instructions to Zhang Wenhua and Qin Ruzhi before he queued up.
Wang Zhou had to settle Xu Qingzhu well before he could do things with peace of mind! He was really worried that Xu Qingzhu would not be able to get into the crowd or run directly to the front... In this way, if they stayed together, they would be easily confused by the crowd.
Noticed something.
Wang Zhou was at the end of the queue...
Ten minutes later, it was Wang Zhou's turn.
Wang Zhou glanced at Sun Yuhuan, Jiang Meihai and the other six elders with his peripheral vision. Seeing that they did not recognize him, he couldn't help but smile.
Two young students, probably in their early twenties, hung up the words they had just finished writing and laid out a new piece of rice paper for Wang Zhou.
"Well... I want to ask, where is the calligraphy written by Mr. Sun and the others?" Wang Zhou picked up the brush and was about to start writing, but he listened again and then looked at the two young students who were assisting.
Wang Zhou deliberately changed his voice and adjusted his tone a little, so that at least Jiang Meihai and Sun Yuhuan's voices sounded unfamiliar.
"Our calligraphy is here!" When Mr. Sun heard Wang Zhou's words, he didn't say anything, but quickly moved away, revealing their calligraphy.
Wang Zhou looked up.
There were six seals on the rice paper, and each seal was an independent character. Although the light was a bit dim, Wang Zhou could still see clearly.
This calligraphy is very good, and it is worthy of being written by six calligraphy masters.
"Then I wonder if I will be lucky enough to write my words on this painting?" Wang Zhou raised his head and looked at Sun Yuhuan and Jiang Meihai.
"You..." Sun Yuhuan almost became angry when he heard Wang Zhou's words.
The calligraphy level of the six of them is definitely second to none in the Magic City. Although there is still a slight gap with the super great calligrapher Ma Zangdian, except for Ma Zangshu and Wang Zhou, the six of them can definitely represent the top calligraphy in the Magic City.
But they didn't expect that a young man in the ancient town would dare to speak so brazenly and want to write his handwriting on their works.
And the people watching around also accused Wang Zhou one by one.
Although Wang Zhou did not look back, he could feel the strange eyes, disdain, and even ridicule those people looked at him.
Wang Zhou knew very well that he would definitely be ridiculed. After all, he, a young student, dared to brazenly want his calligraphy to appear on the works of the six elders in the Shanghai calligraphy circle. This was not a slap in the face of the six elders.
.
"Who do you think you are? You don't think you are the Demon King Teacher Zhou, do you?"
"Tch, he doesn't look like Teacher Wang Zhou..."
"You actually dare to put your own words on Liu Lao's works. Who gave you this kind of confidence?"
"You boy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, get out of here, you are not welcome here."
…
The faces of Sun Yuhuan and Jiang Meihai also changed slightly. They did not expect that a young man would be so disrespectful to them.
At this moment, Wang Zhou naturally raised his head, looked at them, and winked at them...
Jiang Meihai stared at Wang Zhou, and suddenly seemed to find something. "You..."
Jiang Meihai almost called out Wang Zhou's name, but stopped in time at the critical moment.
Jiang Meihai hurriedly whispered something in Sun Yuhuan's ear. Sun Yuhuan hurriedly looked at Wang Zhou again, and Wang Zhou nodded slightly towards him, with a smile on his lips.
"you……"
Sun Yuhuan almost called out Wang Zhou's name, but luckily he stopped in time and Wang Zhou's identity was not exposed.
The other four elders all looked at Sun Yuhuan and Jiang Meihai with confusion, and they also hurriedly told the four of them Wang Zhou's identity.
At this moment, the four of them looked at Wang Zhou with eyes full of expectation.
"This...since you want to, please." Jiang Meihai took a step forward at this moment, and then invited Wang Zhou.
The two students who were responsible for helping were stunned and looked at Sun Yuhuan at the same time. They saw Sun Yuhuan also nodding. Then he quickly took off the calligraphy and carefully spread it on the table. Everything was very careful. After all, this
This work was jointly created by six elders. Even if it is sold on the market, I am afraid it will make a lot of money.
Forehead……
Everyone on the scene had a look of astonishment on their faces. They all looked at Liu Lao in confusion. At first they thought it was Liu Lao who was joking, but soon they realized that it was true.
The six elders are obviously very serious, and their expressions at this moment seem to be looking forward to it.
At this moment, everyone on the scene began to be confused, and they were all guessing who this brazen young man in front of them was?
But Wang Zhou had his back turned to them at the moment, and they couldn't see through anything for the moment.
"Then I will make a fool of myself." Wang Zhou picked up his pen and said in a changed voice.
Everyone at the scene looked at Mr. Sun Yuhuan. Not only was he not angry at this moment, but on the contrary, he had an expression of expectation. Moreover, the look of expectation was so obvious that people in front of him could see it clearly.
"Don't... don't ruin this calligraphy work!"
"Mr. Sun, please say something quickly and make him stop!"
"It's superfluous... This is to destroy this famous painting. Mr. Sun, what are you thinking? Stop it as soon as possible..."
…
Everyone at the scene was anxious. They all admired Liu Lao's work, but if an unknown calligraphy enthusiast destroyed the overall beauty, then the calligraphy would really be ruined.
Wang Zhou ignored the people who were protesting at the scene. He did not forget to look at Jiang Meihai and the others and tried to ask, "Um...what should I write about?"
"Then write 'Every effort must be rewarded'!" Jiang Meihai chose a topic for Wang Zhou.
"'Every effort is rewarded'... OK, OK... this sentence is a classic." Wang Zhou looked at Jiang Meihai and asked with a smile.
"Please..." Although Jiang Meihai recognized Wang Zhou's identity, he did not want to expose Wang Zhou's identity in public.
Wang Zhou raised his pen, and at this moment, everyone onlookers felt a little unbearable.
"Don't destroy this work..."
"I beg you, stop it!"
…
Many people at the scene began to plead with Wang Zhou, hoping that Wang Zhou would not continue.
However, their pleas were useless. Wang Zhou had no intention of stopping at all. He was currently considering where to write the words more appropriately.
As for the six calligraphy masters in this work, they actually did not stop Wang Zhou from coming. On the contrary, they all looked expectantly at this moment.
"this……"
Everyone onlookers were full of confusion. They couldn't figure out why Liu Lao didn't stop this ignorant boy in front of them, and on the contrary, they all looked expectant. What on earth was going on?
"Could it be that Liu Lao and this boy know each other?"
"Or does this guy really have two brushes?"
…
Everyone was speculating one after another. They were very curious. After all, the behavior of the six elders was really strange.
Wang Zhou dipped in ink and picked up his pen.
"If you have a great job, you can sing and sing, but if you don't have enough merit, I will donate it to you."
After Wang Zhou finished writing, he took out his seal and printed his own seal on it.
At this moment, Liu Lao's eyes were fixed on those fourteen words.
They were attracted by these fourteen characters, not only because of the unity of spirit and form of these fourteen characters, but more importantly, the meaning of those fourteen characters.
They didn't understand it all at once.
Not only did the six elders fail to understand, but everyone present was also stunned.
But the only thing that makes them all agree is...these fourteen words are really well written...
"The writing...is actually at the level of Teacher Wang Zhou from Shanghai University of Magic."
"The appearance is similar. It seems that this guy is also an admirer of Teacher Wang Zhou. He should have been copying Teacher Wang Zhou's calligraphy works."
"'If you have a great job, you can sing a song, but if you have no merit, you can donate it to your achievements.' Do any of you know what these fourteen words mean?"
"I didn't expect that I met a big man in the ancient town and he wrote fourteen words casually. Even I, a graduate student, didn't understand it."
"I originally thought that this boy would ruin this work by Liu Lao, but now it seems that I have overthought it. His handwriting has been copied from Teacher Wang Zhou's calligraphy for some time. No wonder Liu Lao would agree to him leaving marks on it.
