Now that he has been shouted at, he cannot shirk the blame, otherwise, others will think he is afraid!
"If you don't take it seriously as a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation, then I'll be embarrassed!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was already a girl waiting aside to hand over the pen and ink.
The maid placed the pen and ink in front of Gu Chengyu's table. The ink had been polished before, so Gu Chengyu did not need to polish it.
Picking up the pen, Gu Chengyu thought about it for a while, and then wrote on the paper: "Autumn shadows float on the river, the days are long, and brocade robes are packed in the banquet hall."
While he was writing, others came over to take a look. Even Min Feng and Fu Yanshan crowded over.
"This sentence fits the occasion! Huh? I haven't seen this font before? What kind of font is this?" One person asked in surprise.
"It looks like running script, strong, strong, and majestic. I have never seen this font before, and it's not the font of a famous artist!"
Gu Chengyu was not affected by them, but continued to write: "Jiuhua is full of good energy, the brows are bright, thousands of Buddhas are famous, and the man is on horseback. The remaining words of praise are auspicious, and the garden is full of fairy osmanthus. It is good to return with the spring breeze, and the clothes are full of fragrance." Jin Lian departs and returns to his hometown."
After writing a few sentences in one breath, Gu Chengyu took a look at the font and felt quite satisfied.
He has never been lazy when it comes to practicing calligraphy and painting. This running script is the result of practicing the facial expressions he found in the space, and then integrated his own characteristics on the original basis.
As we all know, Yan Ti's running script is difficult to learn, and he spent a lot of effort to write his own style.
"Wonderful, really wonderful! This line about returning home triumphantly in the spring breeze, and returning to your hometown with clothes and finery together, moved me deeply!" A scholar said with emotion after reading this poem.
Especially the last two sentences express the aspirations of all the people here. No, not the ones here, but the aspirations of all the students. Who doesn’t want to win the title again? Who hasn’t dreamed of returning home in glorious glory?
"It's not only you who are deeply touched, but everyone else is too. Who doesn't want to return to his hometown?" As the man spoke, there were tears in his eyes.
This is the fourth time he has taken the provincial examination. He has failed the exam three times before. Faced with his old parents who have worked hard to raise him, and who are eager to find a wife who regards her husband as their first priority, he has been hesitant, and after failing the exam, he has also been decadent. .
Now that he has won the exam, he can return to his hometown in glory. He no longer has to fear the ridicule of his former classmates, nor will he see the disappointed eyes of his family. At this time, he just wants to shout, he has won the exam!
Gu Chengyu's poems have long been passed on to officials. They were once students. Of course, they have experienced this and even felt it more deeply. Returning home in glory is more vividly expressed by them.
However, after all, he was already an experienced official in the officialdom. After getting excited, he commented, "Although the last two sentences are relatively ordinary in comparison, they have far-reaching ideas. This poem should be a masterpiece!"
Fang Huai glanced at Gu Chengyu and saw that he was already sitting in his seat. This man was outstanding in learning and calm in situations. Perhaps, within a few years, he would be able to gain a firm foothold in the court.
"Gu Jieyuan is the well-deserved first place, and I am convinced of it. Such a masterpiece should be revealed to me! I would like to do it first to show my respect!" One of the candidates handed over to Gu Chengyu, then poured a full glass, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. All.
Gu Chengyu saw that his expression was solemn and full of sincerity, and he stood up immediately. Then he glanced at the table, but he was embarrassed. Because he didn't drink, there was no wine on the table!
"Gu Jieyuan, I would like to propose a toast to you!" Another person raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
Then, they all toasted to Gu Chengyu. In fact, they didn't care whether Gu Chengyu responded or not, they just wanted to express their emotions through the wine!
Gu Chengyu was infected by their emotions at this moment, and felt more and more that the imperial examination was not easy. Everyone here is a lucky person, and those who did not get on the list may feel more deeply!
The officials at the top did not say anything. Looking at these excited candidates reminded them of themselves back then.
Fang Huai ordered people to record this poem together with other good poems in the book. This is the rule of the Deer Ming Feast. All good poems will be included.
"I think your handwriting is pretty good, what kind of font is this?" Fang Huai was very curious about this font, he had never seen it before.
At this time, the mood of the people below had calmed down. After hearing this, they all looked at Gu Chengyu. They boasted that they had read sages' books for several years, and some of them had outstanding calligraphy.
Because just now everyone focused on the poem and ignored the font. Now, after Fang Huai mentioned it, he remembered it.
"Sir! This is a copybook that the student found in a bookstore before. It has this font. The student was so happy that he took it home and learned from it. After that, the student incorporated his own style into the font.
Style. It’s a pity that the copybook is too worn and has been damaged by my daily practice.”
The copybook was a rare book, and Gu Chengyu was reluctant to take it out for others to look at. Besides, it wasn't from this world, let alone this dynasty, so he couldn't take it out either.
"That's such a pity!" Someone immediately lamented. He was extremely passionate about calligraphy.
"Oh? So you created this yourself?" Fang Huai looked at Gu Chengyu in surprise. This is the creation of a font!
"That cannot be said. Students are just standing on the shoulders of their predecessors!" Gu Chengyu felt that he was not qualified to create a school of thought.
"Standing on the shoulders of those who came before you? This sentence is quite interesting! The description is also very appropriate!" Fang Huai stroked his beard with interest, feeling that this sentence was very appropriate and very meaningful.
"This should be the meaning of the trees planted by the predecessors, and the descendants can enjoy the shade, right? Gu Jieyuan is really elegant and elegant." One of the deputy examiners also praised with a smile.
Today at the Luming Banquet, Gu Chengyu really stole the show, and even Fu Yanshan and Min Feng turned their attention to him. In the second half, Gu Chengyu basically took the lead, and they were completely overshadowed by Gu Chengyu's brilliance.
Fu Yanshan was originally a person who only cared about knowledge. Originally, he thought that his opponent was only Min Feng. But this time, he had to admit that Gu Chengyu was very strong. He had just composed a poem and he also contributed one. But now and
Gu Chengyu was completely defeated after a competition.
Fu Yanshan looked at Gu Chengyu, who was showing off his talent despite his age, and felt that he was very motivated and must surpass him!
Min Feng picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine in the glass. After today, Gu Chengyu's name will become even more famous all over the world! He then looked at Gu Chengyu with a very firm look in his eyes. He will definitely compete in the competition in three years' time.
At this time, the banquet was coming to an end. After that, it was time to make friends and flattery. Gu Chengyu also made friends with two people at the banquet, both of whom were cheerful people. In addition, Ye Zhiqiu and the others also had a good conversation with each other.
