Chapter 135 A post shocked Chang'an

The rumored beauty of Taoism is actually the number one figure in the Judgment Department of Xiling Temple? Listening to this, the bookstore, which was originally a little noisy, suddenly became silent. The students looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. What kind of charming woman could he be pressed against Prince Longqing?

"Don't believe it. Do you really think women are born worse than men?"

Situ Yilan looked at the expressions of her classmates and knew that some of them didn't believe it. She couldn't help but frown and said, "That Taoist beauty is very mysterious and never shows up. People in the world don't know that her ability is natural, but I once heard it. As mentioned, whenever Prince Longqing mentioned his boss, he had no intention of being dissatisfied. "

"That Taoist beauty should be very young, right?" A student from the academy said with emotion: "The Kingdom of Xiling is indeed a place where the glorious beauty of the sky has been shining. There have been so many young geniuses, let alone that Taoist magician. , just talk about the place where I, the Tang Dynasty, could find someone who could compete with him after Prince Longqing entered the academy? "

Jin Wucai frowned slightly as he heard this, wanting to say something, but he finally didn't speak. A female companion beside her looked at her expression and smiled and said to her: "There are people like Mr. Xie in our academy, so can't we take it out and compete with that Prince Longqing?"

"Mr. Xie San was only in the forty state of mind in early autumn last year, while Prince Longqing was only one step away from knowing the destiny of heaven. No matter how you think about it, he should be a powerful man in the upper realm of Dongxuan. There is at least five levels different between the two. How to compete with this?"

The student did not give any face to the female classmates and sneered, "And even if Mr. Xie can beat Prince Longqing in poetry, essays and quotations, don't forget that he is from Southern Jin and I have the same kind of Tang Dynasty. ? "

"Who said I have no talents in the Tang Dynasty?" Situ Yilan frowned unhappily and said, "Wang Jingluo is called the world invincible below the realm. He is at most a few years older than Prince Longqing. As long as Prince Longqing has not yet entered the realm, he is still a few years older than Prince Longqing. , it may not be his opponent, and it cannot be said that it has surpassed my young generation in the Tang Dynasty."

The student frowned and said, "The invincible Wang Jingluo is indeed qualified to compare with that Prince Longqing, but this person seems to have not appeared for a long time, and I don't know where he has gone."

Chu Zhongtian glanced at Situ Yilan and saw that she had no intention of objection. He smiled and said to all classmates: "I heard that Wang Jingluo was sent by His Majesty to serve the General of the State. Even if Prince Longqing came to Chang'an City, he would not Maybe he came back to do something in violation of military discipline, so he should forget this person."

Ning Que listened quietly to the students' discussions behind the bookstore. He found that no one mentioned the prince Longqing again. Instead, he talked about the talent issue of the Tang Dynasty with emotion, so he stopped listening and simply cleaned up himself. I was ready to leave the bookstore and go to the old bookstore.

"Even if you don't mention Wang Jingluo, I still have other talents in the Tang Dynasty."

Perhaps because Xie Chengyun was directly considered not enough to be comparable to Prince Longqing, Jin Wucai was in a strange mood. She stood up, looked at her classmates with a smile and said softly: "You can only be called a talent if you are not a practitioner of Taoism. Military arithmetic As long as you are proficient in writing, poetry, calligraphy, you are talented. I heard from my grandfather that there was a big deal in the palace recently for a book. Your Majesty loved that character, and my grandfather also said that the calligrapher was in calligraphy. There are great talents in the way. Can people like this be considered talented in my Tang Dynasty?"

"I have heard of this, too." Chen Zixian, the young master of the bookstore, glanced at Jin Wucai and said stutteringly, "Several groups of people came to the palace to ask my father, but I really don't know who wrote the character. However, after hearing from the palace father-in-law, Lord Jijiu and several great calligraphers, confirmed that the mysterious calligraphy must have been immersed in the calligraphy for many years to have such a pen structure. This... is not considered a talent for the younger generation, right? "

Jin Wucai just wanted to get around the previous topic, so he naturally wouldn't answer this. He smiled gently and turned to other aspects and asked, "My grandfather copied that book in the imperial study a few months ago. Where are your family ? "

"My bookstore is not as good as Miss Wucai's mansion." Chen Zixian replied with a smile: "It's just that the palace is urged, so my family helped to contact two great calligraphers and entered the palace to copy two volumes. "

There has never been a certain rule for the topics of chatting among the students in the academy. Today, Professor Cao Zhifeng gave a big holiday for everyone. He spent a lot of time chatting, so the topic naturally changed very quickly. He was discussing Prince Longqing and the Taoist beauty before. At this time, everyone's attention was completely attracted by the legendary book.

After several discussions, the students were surprised to find that everyone knew about this matter. The book had long become the focus of discussion in the upper class of Chang'an City in recent months.

A copy of the book written by someone who didn't know why it appeared in the imperial study room made His Majesty love it and directly ordered all the ministers and great calligraphers to copy it by themselves. If you don't know the whole story of this matter, you don't know the written one on the book. What exactly is it? Then you have no way to participate in the tea drinking chats in the ministry and yamen.

"Your Majesty has given my grandfather a copy of the imperial pen, but it's a pity that my grandfather doesn't let me read it." Jin Wucai said in a soft voice.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty loved calligraphy but had poor pen skills. In fact, the entire Chang'an City knew that the students held back their smiles and thought that the Lord of the Saijiu naturally could not bear the Emperor's pen to make fun of him. Miss Gao, who had never spoken much, saw Jin Wucai whispering gently. For some reason, she was a little unhappy and said with a little bit of pride: "My family has also been given a copy, but it is not a royal pen, but it is used. The double hook method is very similar to the original work."

Double hooks are a method of copying. They hook out with thin lines along the outer edges of both sides of the original brush and ink, and then fill in the ink in the contour. The finished product produced by such copying methods is the closest to the original work and is quite precious. It is mostly used to copy famous works.

Listening to Miss Gao's words, the students were very surprised, and they praised the unknown book and were indeed loved by His Majesty. They also secretly discussed the people in the palace. They were indeed deeply grateful to the holy house, and they were able to receive the gift. Double hook copy book.

If the emperor has something to like, the subordinates will have something to like, let alone the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, in recent years, the Tang Empire has loved calligraphy very much, and the calligraphers have highly respected the status of the calligraphers. Nowadays, the noble houses in Chang'an City understand that Your Majesty loves that calligraphy, and it is inevitable that they have to compare them with each other.

Those who have been given a copy of the script by His Majesty will be complacent. Those who have not given a copy of the script by His Majesty will feel a little uneasy. Even those who have been given a copy of the script by His Majesty will have to compare the version... This is really a pair of The small book has wrinkled so much ink in the mansion inkstone, disturbing the mood of many noble people.

The commoner who stayed overnight in the academy asked Miss Gao curiously what character was written on the book and what charm the word was, which made His Majesty so happy. Since Miss Gao had already spoken, she naturally wanted to continue speaking, smiled slightly, and praised the calligraphy as if there was something in the sky and nothing on the earth.

"Borrowed."

Ning Que walked over from the back of the bookstore with a few books under his armpit. Everyone found it was him. According to his usual habits, he stopped talking coldly until he walked out of the bookstore door and into the rain corridor. Book post.

Naturally, no one is willing to point out the bad ones that Your Majesty loves, let alone that piece of calligraphy is really exquisite. So any cabinet calligrapher who has seen the original works will be better according to Your Majesty's wishes. Although Miss Gao's words were a little exaggerated, no classmates expressed any doubts.

Jin Wucai knew why Miss Gao said that before, and she smiled slightly and didn't sing a show against her. She followed her words and praised the post sincerely. Next, the topic of discussion among students shifted to the most mysterious and attractive aspect of this matter - who wrote this book?

"Who wrote it?"

"No one knows until now. I heard that it appeared in the imperial study room last spring, and then searched in the palace for more than half a year. Those great calligraphers were asked, but no one admitted it."

"Do you think it's possible that the scholars who sell characters in Xiangfang wrote it? Don't look at me like this. There are so many heroes among the grass, and great talents are always in the mountains and forests. Who says that scholars who sell characters can't write a unique story? excellent work?"

"You are not wrong, but if it is the work of those poor and poor, then how could he send this book to the imperial study? If he had a way to the palace, why would he be so poor? "

"This is really a puzzle. I don't know why the calligrapher never came forward to admit it. You must know that Your Majesty admires it so much. Now that he has caused this storm in the court, as long as he is willing to show up, no one will pursue it. On the contrary, his sins must have been waiting for him for a great fortune."

Jin Wucai's eyebrows frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I think that calligrapher may really live in seclusion in a small calligraphy and painting shop between the streets and alleys of Chang'an. It is said that the book has been searching for so long in the palace. The family has never appeared. It is very likely that the place where he lives cannot hear these rumors. Moreover, the palace must have been places like the famous bookstores and painting shops in Chang'an City, and I couldn't think of it there for a while. "

"As for why the calligrapher's calligraphy can enter the imperial study, it is unknown."

She smiled gently and said a possibility: "Maybe a minister in the court cherishes the talent of the poor calligrapher, so she brought it into the palace privately and deliberately left it in the imperial study room to let His Majesty discover it? But if that's true , that minister should have made it clear now, right?"

Zhu Sheng felt something was right about what she said, and replied with a smile: "If it was really a small shop between the alleys, can you go and look for it after you leave school? If you can really find that calligrapher, Maybe there will be some rewards in the palace."

Chen Zixian said cowardly: "I heard... Ning Que opened a small calligraphy and painting shop in Dongcheng."

When the students heard this, they were stunned, and then they laughed out loud, thinking that this idea was really ridiculous. There was the student who was familiar with Zhong Dajun from Yangguan, looking at Ning Que's figure at the end of the corridor with rain, and laughed and said, "If the book in Yu's study was written by this guy, then I'm willing to kiss him. foot!"

The laughter broke out again in the bookstore.
