"Look what I'm doing, can I lie to you about this kind of thing? Don't worry, I'm not joking, it's true..." Xu Jinkai looked at Wang Zhou looking at him in astonishment. He knew that Wang Zhou was suspicious, so he couldn't help but speak.
said.
"profound……"
Wang Zhou couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard Xu Jinkai's words. "But I still find it incredible that the president of Imperial University wants to ask me for a calligraphy..."
"Actually, it's nothing. With your calligraphy skills, it's normal for even the masters in the calligraphy world to ask for calligraphy..." Xu Jinkai couldn't help but smile when he heard Wang Zhou's words.
"I...Okay. So what words does he want?" Wang Zhou couldn't help but asked curiously. "Does he want me to write it casually, or does he specify it?"
"He wants the calligraphy you gave me back then... When the sky is strong, a gentleman will strive for self-improvement; when the terrain is weak, a gentleman will carry things with kindness!" Xu Jinkai looked at Wang Zhou and said.
"Did you give it to him?" Wang Zhou looked at Xu Jinkai curiously. Because he gave this calligraphy to Xu Jinkai, he was quite impressed.
In order to choose this character, Wang Zhou thought about it for a long time before finally making up his mind. Because of this, Wang Zhou remembered these two sentences deeply.
"No, I originally wanted to give this painting of mine to him. After all, he asked for it, but he just didn't want it. He said that you gave it to me and he couldn't take away people's love. But if he could, he wanted to
You help him write another one, he likes these two lines so much, the more he reads it, the more he feels that it contains a lot of great truths." Xu Jinkai looked at Wang Zhou, smiled and shook his head.
"What do you think? We are not outsiders. If you have any ideas, just say it. No matter whether you agree or reject..."
Xu Jinkai looked at Wang Zhou, waiting for Wang Zhou's answer.
Wang Zhou smiled. "Actually, it's okay to give him a picture, but I won't write this picture again. I also said that I will only write one picture of some words!"
Wang Zhou looked at Xu Jinkai and said seriously, "Especially for Uncle Xu..."
Xu Jinkai was very moved when he heard Wang Zhou's words. He also knew that Wang Zhou did not mean to compliment him, but what he really meant.
Xu Jinkai is also a calligrapher. Although he is not on the same level as Wang Zhou, there were many people who wanted to ask for calligraphy from him in the past.
It is also true that Xu Jinkai is very aware of some eccentric temperaments of calligraphy masters. They treat their works like their own children. If you want them to write another painting of some classic works, they will basically not agree to it.
of……
In the past, many people came to Wang Zhou to ask for a son, and Wang Zhou would basically satisfy him. This also made many people think that Wang Zhou was easy to talk to, but what they didn't know was that they had not touched Wang Zhou's bottom line.
, if he encounters that horizontal line, then Wang Zhou will definitely not be so easy to talk to.
"Okay. Then I'll tell him." Xu Jinkai was very moved when he heard Wang Zhou's words. At the same time, he knew exactly what Wang Zhou was thinking, so he didn't say anything more.
Wang Zhou nodded and did not explain too much.
In Wang Zhou's opinion, Xu Jinkai would definitely understand what he was doing.
Xu Jinkai casually dialed the number of President Zheng of Royal Capital University. After three rings, the other party answered the phone.
"Hey, Professor Xu..."
"Principal Zheng."
"That's right, you told me about it last time. I went to see Teacher Wang Zhou today, but I couldn't convince Teacher Wang Zhou. He didn't want this calligraphy to survive in the world. The key is that it was made by his hand."
"After all, if Wang Zhou at this moment writes these two sentences again, because his mood, mentality, time, place... are different, and he writes a picture with different words, then future generations will
How do you evaluate these two words? So I failed to convince him." What Xu Jinkai said was direct enough, and what he said was true.
"Professor Xu, there is no need to worry. In fact, haven't you and I already expected this result? Generally speaking, a good calligrapher will not write the same calligraphy twice at the same time. This is a blasphemy against himself, unless he is
I originally planned to write it, and it was done in one go!”
"yes……"
Xu Jinkai did not explain too much. Since the principal of Imperial University knew these principles, there was no need for him to say too much.
"Then can you help me ask him if he can write a calligraphy for me, or help the emperor write a big calligraphy?"
"This..." Xu Jinkai looked at Wang Zhou and saw Wang Zhou nodding towards him.
Just as Xu Jinkai thought, Wang Zhou could give a calligraphy to President Zheng of Imperial University, but he would not repeat the calligraphy he had written before.
"Okay." Xu Jinkai nodded in agreement, still without any unnecessary words.
After a few polite words, Xu Jinkai and Principal Zheng hung up the phone.
"Okay?" Xu Jinkai looked at Wang Zhou and asked again to confirm.
Wang Zhou nodded. "Okay!"
"It's my honor for the principal of Imperial University to speak in person... Haha..." Wang Zhou smiled at Xu Jinkai.
Xu Jinkai also laughed.
"Now?" Xu Jinkai stopped laughing, then looked at Wang Zhou and asked.
"Anything is fine." Wang Zhou nodded, still speaking in a casual tone.
"You kid!" Xu Jinkai immediately gave Wang Zhou a thumbs up.
Xu Jinkai is a professor of ancient Chinese literature at Imperial University, but he can write poems casually. This is something he absolutely cannot do, and not only him, but no one in the country can do it, but Wang Zhou can actually...
…
Xu Jinkai has always wondered how Wang Zhou's brain grew. Xu Jinkai has also discussed this issue with Kang Borui many times. In Kang Borui's words, it means that the knowledge he usually chews up reaches a certain level and explodes in an instant...
…
"Then why didn't we break out?" Xu Jinkai asked Kang Borui.
"That's because your knowledge has not accumulated to a certain level and has not reached that critical point..."
"You are awesome!" Xu Jinkai was speechless at Kang Borui's words.
Although Xu Jinkai thinks Kang Borui's words are not reliable enough, Xu Jinkai can only choose to believe it now. Of course, Kang Borui's words are not completely unreliable, and there is still a certain degree of reliability.
…
Of course, neither Xu Jinkai nor Kang Borui could figure out why Wang Zhou could speak so well, but they could only be silently happy for Wang Zhou.
Xu Jinkai then helped Wang Zhou get a suitable piece of rice paper and spread it out.
Pens, ink, paper and inkstones are all laid out.
"Want to start?" Xu Jinkai looked at Wang Zhou and confirmed again.
"If there's nothing else, let's get started? Make sure you finish it early and eat the dumplings that Auntie ordered..." Wang Zhou smiled and winked at Xu Jinkai, nodding at the same time.
"Okay." Although Xu Jinkai knew Wang Zhou would agree, he was still deeply touched when he saw and heard Wang Zhou looking so cheerful.
You can export it once, twice...but how many times has it happened?
In other words, Wang Zhou has too much ink in his mind.
Wang Zhou picked up his pen.
Xu Jinkai quickly took out his mobile phone, started to pose, found the best angle and started recording the video.
For Xu Jinkai, being able to observe and record videos at such a close range will help and improve his understanding of Wang Zhou's calligraphy.
Xu Qingzhu also walked in at this moment.
"Dad, can you take advantage of Wang Zhou no matter what? You are not like a qualified father-in-law..." Wang Zhou walked to the opposite side of his father and gave his boss a slap in the face, while looking at him with admiration.
Looking at Wang Zhou, waiting for Wang Zhou to write.
"It was my suggestion, not Uncle Xu's business." Wang Zhou couldn't help but smile and replied when he heard Xu Qingzhu's question.
"Don't come here...I don't know you two yet..." Xu Qingzhu heard Wang Zhou's words and immediately said with a smile.
Xu Jinkai and Wang Zhou also laughed when they heard Xu Qingzhu's words.
Xu Qingzhu stood aside, not letting Xu Jinkai record her.
Wang Zhou began to write.
"You can be confident in your strength when you are free and energetic, and you will definitely stand out from the crowd when galloping long distances!"
Wang Zhou writes like flowing water, and in one breath, the fourteen words appear on the paper. Everything is so flowing and pleasing to the eye.
Father and daughter Xu Qingzhu and Xu Jinkai had not seen enough, and their hearts were already shocked at this moment.
Especially since Xu Jinkai and Wang Zhou had just gotten together, from the time they raised this topic to Wang Zhou writing these fourteen words, Wang Zhou didn't even think much about it.
This is why Wang Zhou is so awesome!
Xu Jinkai and Kang Boran, two close elders, both gave Wang Zhou a thumbs up.
"I think Principal Zheng will like these fourteen words!" Xu Jinkai nodded repeatedly and read it aloud, repeating it three times.
"Where's the seal?" Xu Qingzhu stepped forward and looked at Wang Zhou and asked.
"That's right...I almost forgot to sign it. But the seal is with the Jie Yunzheng brothers. I asked them to send it up..." Wang Zhou said this and randomly dialed the number of the Yunzheng and Xie Yunrong brothers.
Soon, the seal was delivered.
Wang Zhou signed it and printed it.
…
"that……"
After Wang Zhou finished all this, he clapped his hands and was about to call it a day. Xu Jinkai couldn't help but speak.
"Old Xu... what are you going to do? If you want to ask Wang Zhou for a piece of writing, then you don't have to open your mouth. I will express my position on Wang Zhou's behalf. I won't give it!" Xu Qingzhu snatched the words away.
, and then had a tit-for-tat confrontation with Xu Jinkai, with the father and daughter glaring at each other.
"What are you, father and daughter, doing? It feels like you two were life and death enemies in your last life..." Feng Xinran happened to walk in and saw Xu Jinkai and Xu Qingzhu staring at each other, and couldn't help but said with a smile.
Wang Zhou stood there with a smile on his face but said nothing. He liked this environment very much. The whole family was happy and happy.
"You take care of your daughter! What's wrong with my son-in-law and me asking for a painting? Your daughter actually disagrees... Do you think I have raised a white-eyed wolf for so many years..." Xu Jinkai immediately retorted.
"Why do you want a piece of calligraphy? Count it yourself. How many pieces of calligraphy have you got from Wang Zhou? You still have the nerve to keep talking... If you really want that, then buy it! I'll give you a 40% discount.
, how about it, are you loyal enough?" Xu Qingzhu looked at Xu Jinkai, still unforgiving, and continued to bicker with her father.
"You..." Xu Jinkai was so angry that he walked back and forth in the study. "You actually came up with your father's idea and even offered a 40% discount. Do you think I won't break your legs..."
"Honey, protect me..." Xu Qingzhu jumped behind Wang Zhou, not forgetting to stick out her tongue at Xu Jinkai opposite.
Xu Qingzhu showed an eccentric look at this moment.
Wang Zhou also laughed.
"Can you, father and daughter, be more mature? If others find out about this, I wonder if you, father and daughter, have the nerve to continue messing around." Feng Xinran was holding her cell phone to take pictures of them.
"No, no, no...Mom, I was wrong."
"Wife, wife, I was wrong, I was really wrong..."
Xu Jinkai and Xu Qingzhu quickly asked for mercy.
…
While their father and daughter were having a fight, Wang Zhou stepped forward, changed the rice paper, and arranged the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!
When Xu Jinkai saw Wang Zhou's actions, he immediately stopped whispering to Xu Qingzhu and stepped forward.
Xu Qingzhu couldn't help but smile when she looked at Xu Jinkai's childlike appearance.
"What kind of calligraphy does Uncle Xu want to write?" Wang Zhou looked at Xu Jinkai and asked with a smile.
"This... you can write whatever you want!" Xu Jinkai thought for a while, but couldn't think of any good ideas, so he handed the initiative to Wang Zhou.
In Xu Jinkai's view, Wang Zhou has never disappointed anyone, so again, he is looking forward to it.
Wang Zhou heard Xu Jinkai's words, thought for a while, and couldn't help but nodded. "Then I'll just write it casually. If it's not good, don't blame Uncle Xu."
"I believe you." Xu Jinkai looked at Wang Zhou seriously and said with firm eyes.
In Xu Jinkai's eyes, every poem and every sentence written by Wang Zhou is rich in philosophy and can inspire people.
"Write something different!" Wang Zhou thought for a while and then started to write.
"The song of patience is found in the cold mountains!"
Xu Jinkai, Xu Qingzhu, and Feng Xinran looked at the seven words written by Wang Zhou with confused expressions on their faces.
Xu Jinkai and Feng Xinran both know the details of Wang Zhou, and they also know that Wang Zhou is "Fengming Qishan". Is Wang Zhou planning to write a song?
Xu Qingzhu was also confused. She was also wondering if Wang Zhou wanted to use a song to write a song?
Although the three of them were all confused, none of them said a word. They just looked at each other and could see the trace of doubt in each other's eyes.
Wang Zhou didn't raise his head or look at anything deliberately, because he could guess that the three of them would definitely be confused.
"First of all, Hanshan and Shide are two eminent monks!"
Hearing Wang Zhou's words, the three of them looked at each other in astonishment. They had just been speculating about what Han Shan and Shi De meant.
They never thought that Hanshan and Shide were actually two eminent monks, which really surprised them.
"Hanshan asked: "There are people in the world who slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, underestimate me, despise me, hate me, and lie to me. How should I deal with it?"
Wang Zhou wrote this line in his mouth.
As Wang Zhou's words came out, Xu Jinkai, Xu Qingzhu, and Feng Xinran all silently recited them.
"Zhuzi, how should you do it?" Wang Zhou looked at Xu Qingzhu and asked with a smile.
"This...I haven't thought about it clearly yet. You can ask Professor Xu Da first..." Xu Qingzhu shook his head and then handed the transfer to Xu Jinkai.
