Chapter 82 Talking about calligraphy
1441 Words
"What does my birthday gift have to do with you?" Xiao Yifeng glanced at Wang Haoran unhappily.
"We are all students, so don't do these formalities. Qin Yunhan and I came empty-handed, but now you are giving us gifts. Aren't you deliberately embarrassing us?" Wang Haoran said.
"That's right. It's normal for Zhaozhao to bring gifts as a granddaughter. You are not Grandpa Mu's grandson. Why do you have to do this?" Qin Yunhan also echoed.
As a student, you don't have any financial ability. Even if you prepare a gift, you have to use your parents' money to buy it. This is completely meaningless and insincere. It's better not to give it.
Hearing the eldest lady's speech, Xiao Yifeng was in a dilemma.
If it was just Wang Haoran's opinion, Xiao Yifeng could have ignored it, but the eldest lady also intervened, which made Xiao Yifeng embarrassed.
If you insist on giving the gift to Mu Cong, isn't this a slap in the face of the eldest lady?
"My friend, I appreciate your kindness. I am very happy that you think highly of an old man like me. Please take back the gift." Mu Cong tried to smooth things over.
"Well... well then." Xiao Yifeng felt aggrieved and had to take back the gift.
The reason why he wanted to give Mu Cong a birthday gift was mainly to win the favor of the eldest lady and Mu Zhaozhao.
Insisting on giving gifts now will only make the eldest lady even angrier.
[Ding, the host stopped the protagonist Xiao Yifeng from pretending to be a big shot and got 200 villain points. Xiao Yifeng's protagonist halo -10, and the host's villain halo +10! ]
Wang Haoran got a wave of rewards as he wished.
At this time.
Qin Kai came over with a smile, said some words of congratulations to Mu Cong, and presented a birthday gift.
Mu Cong hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and exchanged greetings with him for a long time.
Due to the relationship between Qin Yunhan and Mu Zhaozhao, the two families had close contacts, and the relationship between Qin Kai and Mu Cong was quite good.
After exchanging pleasantries with Mu Cong, Qin Kai walked towards his daughter.
"Is the dormitory comfortable?" Qin Kai asked with a chuckle.
"It's comfortable. I plan to stay here until graduation." Qin Yunhan snorted.
Qin Kai just laughed at this.
He thought Qin Yunhan was just saying it in anger.
He knew his daughter too well. She had been pampered since she was a child. It was impossible for her to get used to the dormitory at school.
It was only a matter of time before she returned to the villa.
Qin Kai didn't believe anything Qin Yunhan said about being able to hold on until graduation.
"Master Mu's calligraphy is really getting better and better."
"Such wonderful calligraphy, I think it's not too much to pay a thousand gold coins for each word." "What's a thousand gold coins for each word? I think he will be famous for generations to come."...
Some of Mu Cong's recent calligraphy works were hung in the banquet hall. Some guests who were interested in calligraphy admired and talked about it.
Mu Cong is a well-known contemporary calligrapher. His calligraphy works have various styles, including running script, cursive script and regular script.
Among them, his running script is the most talked about and admired.
"Sister Yunhan, let's go and have a look." Mu Zhaozhao suggested.
She has been influenced by her grandfather's calligraphy since she was a child, so she has a strong interest in calligraphy, but she is a bit lazy and has not learned much.
But this does not affect her interest in calligraphy at all.
"Okay."
Qin Yunhan nodded and walked towards the calligraphy hanging in the banquet hall with Mu Zhaozhao.
She was not interested in calligraphy, but from a distance, those calligraphy really looked elegant and agile, so she also wanted to take a look.
Seeing this, Xiao Yifeng followed without hesitation.
He had no interest in calligraphy, but he was very interested in Qin Yunhan and Mu Zhaozhao.
Qin Yunhan and Mu Zhaozhao would whisper some words of admiration while appreciating the calligraphy.
After approaching the two, Xiao Yifeng said, "These words are so well written, you are worthy of being a master." "You country bumpkin haven't even read books for a few years, do you know calligraphy?" Qin Yunhan said contemptuously.
"I didn't read much, but I can still write, and I think I write pretty well." Xiao Yifeng boasted.
"I don't believe you." Qin Yunhan curled his lips.
"My friend, you can also write calligraphy?" Mu Cong was nearby. After hearing what Xiao Yifeng said, he couldn't help but come over to ask.
"Yes." Xiao Yifeng nodded, "But my calligraphy is not written with a pen, but with a sword." With Mu Cong's exquisite calligraphy standing here, Xiao Yifeng certainly didn't dare to show off his skills, so he wanted to show his talent in another way.
He has practiced martial arts for many years, and he can use the sword as easily as his arm. There is no difference between writing with a sword and writing with a pen.
But this is also a unique skill for ordinary people.
If it is performed with sword skills, it will definitely amaze the audience.
"Oh?!" Mu Cong was surprised.
He also knew some colleagues who were good at calligraphy, among whom there were some who were unique and did not use brushes to write calligraphy.
However, none of them wrote calligraphy with swords. After hearing what Xiao Yifeng said, he could not help but get very interested and wanted to appreciate it.
"Grandpa Mu, can you get a sword? It must be no less than 30 jins. The heavier, the better." Xiao Yifeng made a special request.
In fact, for him, it didn't matter what kind of sword he used to write.
It's just that using a heavy sword seemed to be more difficult and more impressive.
Mu Cong was even more surprised when he heard it.
It must be very difficult to hold such a heavy sword, and it must be difficult to write with a heavy sword.
Mu Cong was looking forward to Xiao Yifeng's performance.
"Well, I..."
"Today is Grandpa Mu's birthday. It's a great day. Sword dancing seems a bit unlucky." Wang Haoran interrupted Mu Cong deliberately.
"This..." Mu Cong hesitated.
The older you get, the more particular you become.
The flashes of swords and sabers at the birthday banquet are indeed not a good sign.
"It's just sword dancing and calligraphy, not fighting, what's unlucky about it." Xiao Yifeng looked at Wang Haoran, very dissatisfied.
"He's not your grandfather, of course you think it's nothing." Qin Yunhan saw that Xiao Yifeng was very unhappy, and couldn't help but help Wang Haoran to say something to him.
"Grandpa, I also think sword dancing is inappropriate, let's forget it. If you really want to demonstrate calligraphy, it's the same with a pen." Mu Zhaozhao cared more about his grandfather, so he also persuaded him.
"That's right." Seeing that his precious granddaughter had spoken, Mu Cong immediately gave up the idea of letting Xiao Yifeng demonstrate calligraphy.
He looked at Xiao Yifeng and said, "My friend, how about using a pen instead of a sword?" "I'm used to writing calligraphy with a sword, and I can't find the feeling with a pen, so let's forget it." Xiao Yifeng found an excuse, but while speaking, he stared at Wang Haoran unhappily for a few times.
[Ding, the host stopped the protagonist Xiao Yifeng from pretending to be cool, and got 200 villain points, Xiao Yifeng's protagonist aura -10, the host's villain aura +10! ]
Wang Haoran received a wave of rewards, and he felt very comfortable.
Then, he walked forward a few steps, glanced at the calligraphy works around him, and suddenly praised: "Grandpa Mu's calligraphy is rich in ancient and modern calligraphy, and he is unique. I really admire him."
"Haoran, you also know calligraphy?" Mu Cong couldn't help asking.
"In front of the master, how dare I say I know a word." Wang Haoran was modest for a while, and then changed the subject: "However, I also have some knowledge of calligraphy, such as the works of the four masters of regular script, the four masters of Song Dynasty, and those calligraphers who have achieved great success in running script and cursive script. I have copied them at least thousands of times, and I think I have learned the essence."
