Shenhao with a learning panel

After Li Shi's online car-hailing car left.

Peng Zichen and Editor Wang walked back, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly asked, "Old Wang, is Teacher Li's calligraphy really that good? Is your previous praise too exaggerated?"

Editor Wang stopped and squinted at him: "Then you are still begging for calligraphy?"

Peng Zichen smiled and said: "I don't believe in your vision in calligraphy, and this teacher Li is really talented. Although I can't see what level his calligraphy is, I am optimistic that he will become famous in the future. The level is very ordinary, and that is celebrity calligraphy and painting, heh."

Editor Wang shook his head: "You... I'm a bit exaggerated and flattering, but his calligraphy level is indeed much higher than mine, especially the basic skills such as brush strength and structure. People who are more traditional... well, not only those who learn European style, but everyone who learns regular script, I have never seen anyone who has better pen control than him."

"Of course, maybe it's just that his writing is in line with my aesthetics, or maybe it's because I don't know much. After all, I'm in the District Book Association, and I'm just a transparent little person."

……

Li Shi bought the high-speed rail ticket to Beijing at 06:30 in the evening.

After getting on the online car-hailing service, he took out the contract from his bag to look at it, took a photo with his mobile phone and posted it in the group, and shared with his family Xianshu the joy of taking a big step forward in the progress of the book.

Then I thought about my trip to the publishing house this afternoon.

"Many firsts today, the first time I signed a publishing contract, the first time I was asked for calligraphy... That editor Wang's acting skills are average, it's a bit exaggerated, but he really likes his calligraphy, otherwise he is an editor, there is no need to follow It’s a beautiful feeling to be a newcomer author, hehe.”

Li Shi opened QQ again, and shared today's signing of the publishing contract with Bai Mangmang.

After the photo was sent, it immediately attracted several (envious) emoticons from her.

After arriving at the high-speed rail station, there was still time before the departure. Li Shi remembered that he hadn't booked a hotel in the capital, so he opened the app and booked a hotel near the National Library, Shangri-La.

"I will study calligraphy in the future, and I will definitely visit the National Museum and the ancient and modern masterpieces in the Palace Museum."

"My talent in calligraphy is so terrifying that I feel scared. There is nothing to worry about professional progress. Instead, it is preaching...In today's era where many adults can't write with a pen a few times a year, preaching Calligraphy may require a lot of thought, but the capital...is a cultural center after all."

Li Shi pondered that he would definitely get a permanent residence in the capital in the future.

"If you are not a permanent resident, but only come here occasionally to study or do business, you don't have to make it too luxurious as you thought before, just live comfortably and travel conveniently."

At 06:30, Li Shi got into the car and lay down in the business seat. He remembered that he had promised Wang Yuan and Wu Xiuyue that if he went to the capital again, he would tell them in advance, so he took his mobile phone and sent them a message.

Wang Yuan returned quickly, and directly returned the voice, with a Beijing flavor in his words: "Brother Shi, is this time for fun or business? How long can you stay? If you can stay for a few more days, I will take you to Houhai on the weekend Feel it, I have a friend who opened a special bar over there, which is very artistic, and the people who go there are all beautiful young women, haha."

Today is Monday, and Li Shi did the math. It only takes two days for him to search for information in the capital. The National Fair made an appointment for tickets to Houdatian, which is Thursday. According to the plan, he will leave for the Museum of Chinese Characters on Thursday night. Anyang in Nam Ha province.

He can play at any time, and what he wants to do most now is to quickly complete the manuscript of "Guide Map".

He scanned around and saw that the passenger next to him was resting with his eyes closed, so he did not use his voice, and typed back: "I am here this time to check the writing materials for the book I want to publish. I will go to Anyang on Thursday, stay here." It's not the weekend, next time, I will definitely come to the capital often in the future, and then I will go to see the sharp fruit in the capital with you. (Slanting eyes)"

Jian Guoer refers to a beautiful young woman in Beijing dialect. Li Shi deliberately made a joke.

After sending it, he stared at the screen expectantly, waiting for a reply.

"Brother Shi, are you going to publish a book?!!!"

"What kind of book are you writing? A novel? Damn, Brother Shi, you're still a writer!"

Seeing Wang Yuan's two consecutive messages, especially the neat three exclamation marks in the first one, Li Shi was instantly satisfied, um, yes, Wang Yuan understands me.

Hehe, Li Shi twitched his mouth and laughed silently, feeling happier than earning 1000 million.

"It's not a novel, it's a book about the history of the pre-Qin period."

After chatting again, Li Shi switched software and continued to read 24 Histories.

He didn't read every article intensively, but selected them. Most of them were rough reading, so he flipped through the books very quickly. Now he is already reading the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", and he has read the sixth volume "Xiao'an Emperor Ji".

Emperor Xiao'an may not have been heard of by most people. He was the sixth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to historical records, he did not practice virtue when he was an adult, and slaughtered and humiliated virtuous officials. Many people were forced to commit suicide. Among them were improvements and inventions in papermaking. Cai Lun, regarded as the "Paper Saint".

Li Shi was immersed in the long river of history, and the words in front of him seemed to be transformed into pictures in the river, which seemed real and unreal, and then rolled away.

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated again. He thought it was Wu Xiuyue who hadn't replied to the message before, but when he took it out, he found out that it was Guo Lan's husband who was a martial idiot, Lin Zongyue.

"Mr. Li, I'm going to the capital to attend the [-]th birthday of a martial arts senior in a few days. After the end, I will get together with some friends of the same way. They are all martial arts practitioners. I wonder if you are interested in coming to play?"

Martial arts senior's [-]th birthday?

Is this a real-life martial arts party?
Not to mention, Li Shi was very interested as soon as he heard it, and immediately asked, "When exactly?"

Lin Zongyue: "The senior's birthday is on the 22nd. Next Tuesday, we will go to climb the Great Wall as usual the next day after eating the birthday wine. If you are interested, you can come on the afternoon of the 22nd or the morning of the 23rd. It would be best if we got in touch early."

Li Shi typed immediately: "Okay, I just happened to be in Beijing and Nanhe Province in those days, so let's contact in advance."

Lin Zongyue: "Okay! In fact, I told you that I just want you to go, so that those people can open their eyes and see what natural supernatural power and martial arts genius are! (味牙)"

Li Shi thought for a while and asked, "Master Lin, who will be there then? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Lin Zongyue: "They are all my friends who practice martial arts. They are good friends with me. Everyone has good martial arts virtues. There is nothing special to pay attention to. Apart from me, there are three other people, Gao Shicang from Wudang Shenyin School; proficient in big and small airs, That is, Guo Liang of Shanxi Xingyiquan and Hebei Xingyiquan; and Wang Jianmu of Wang Jiagong, who is a family heirloom, and Wang Jiagong is roughly included in the concept of Xingyiquan.”

Lin Zongyue: "The four of us have a very good relationship, and we have a relationship with that senior, so every time we go to celebrate that senior's birthday, we get together and keep the program. Apart from practicing martial arts, we just climb the Great Wall."

When Li Shi heard this, he became more and more curious. He originally wanted to ask who is more powerful among them, but the so-called Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second. In case Lin Zongyue is not the most powerful among them, it would be embarrassing for him to ask. .

When the time comes, we will meet and observe for ourselves.

But he didn't ask, Lin Zongyue took the initiative to say: "Among us, Wang Jianmu is the one with the best boxing skills. Every time he relies on his innate strength and his acquired blood, he often messes with me. This time, Mr. Li, you go!" Help me teach him how to be a human being! (baring teeth) (sinister smile)"

Li Shi was happy, thinking to himself, guess Lin Zongyue must have been bullied by this Wang Jianmu, so he specially asked himself to help him "revenge".

After chatting with Lin Zongyue, Li Shi continued to read.

In the next three days, after he arrived in the capital, he checked the information step by step, and supplemented and perfected the "Pre-Qin Cultural History Map".

Looking at his first work, which is becoming more and more perfect day by day, and gradually tends to the degree of completion he expected, Li Shi feels very fulfilled.

On the third night, he went to Anyang again and stayed in Anyang for two days.

Busy until May NO.19, at 06:30 on Saturday evening, he took the high-speed train to the capital again.

Sitting on the business seat and opening the storage board, Li Shi couldn't wait to sort out the notes and thoughts he took on the spot in the museum today, the photos and videos he took, and then took out some manuscripts from his bag, added them in, and took them out again. Laptop, start revising and perfecting the electronic version.

The high-speed train from Anyang to Beijing West Railway Station takes two hours and nineteen minutes. As soon as he got on the train, he began to forget about his work.

Due to the small storage board on the high-speed rail, the speed is slower than usual, but fortunately, during the past period of time, he has sorted out his harvest in time every night, and what he needs to sort out today is only the things of this afternoon, so It only took a little over an hour, and you're done!
Flipping through the thick and perfect manuscript again, and looking at the full version of the electronic file displayed on the laptop screen, Li Shi's sense of accomplishment was so overwhelming that he couldn't help shouting "Ou" .

This feeling, that is a cool feeling!

It's almost like a boudoir bliss, and even...a different sense of accomplishment.

However, his shout immediately attracted the attention of all around.

Li Shi knew that his behavior in public was a bit disrespectful, but that sound was the emotion in his heart climbed to the peak, and he couldn't help venting.

After realizing it, he half stood up and apologized to the surrounding passengers.

The flight attendant in the carriage was also attracted by his sound, and she bowed slightly to him from the side, and asked politely, "Sir, are you alright?"

Li Shi was in a great mood at the moment, and smiled at her: "I'm fine, I was a little bit agitated just now because of embarrassment."

His heartfelt smile is contagious, especially for the opposite sex.

The flight attendant lady in purple uniform and black stockings couldn't help but froze when she saw this handsome boy with particularly good skin before turning around and leaving.

After walking a few steps, I couldn't help but glance back, thinking: It's strange, why didn't I find out that there is such a good-looking male passenger today?

After the flight attendant left, Li Shi first put the manuscript into his backpack, then checked the electronic manuscript again and again. After confirming that there was no problem, he connected to the hotspot WiFi of his mobile phone and sent it to the editor Peng Zichen by email.

And sent Peng Zichen WeChat and QQ messages respectively, asking him to pay attention to check.

Among the people Li Shi knew, Peng Zichen was probably the second most internet worm, and he hung on the Internet almost all the time.

He quickly responded with an (OK) emoji on QQ: "Ms. Li's efficiency is high! I'll go and see it!"

Li Shi smiled, and replied: "Thank you for making it up."

Going back to the chat list on QQ, I casually shared this good news with Bai Mangmang.

Bai Mangmang is the number one internet worm among the people she knows. She is often online in the middle of the night. Her reply speed is faster than Peng Zichen's, and it is a series of messages all at once:
"That's great, congratulations!"

"I can't wait to read your book!"

"When the time comes, you must give me a copy, the one that needs to be signed! (Smiling face)"

Li Shi sometimes really admires her hand speed, how could she pop out three messages at once?

I don't know whose hand speed is faster than Wu Yuan's.

I don't know if there will be a chance for the two of them to compete in front of me in the future...

Li Shi was not in a hurry, and typed back: "Okay, when the sample book comes out, I will express a copy to you."

Bai Mangmang said, "Actually, you can hand it over to me in the future, don't forget, you promised to accompany me to Xijing! (wrinkles nose)"

Li Shi knew that she was referring to the plan to explore the history of the ancient capital of several dynasties. She had been planning for a long time, but she was entangled by nature, and she still hadn't made up her mind to do it.

Thinking that she has spared no effort to help herself since she was studying history, Li Shi quickly replied: "Don't worry, I will do what I said, when did you decide to go to Xijing, tell me in advance, I will definitely go there to tell you Convergence, I will be your good assistant!"

This time, it took more than a minute for him to return: "Well, thank you."

Li Shi felt that her mood seemed to have changed, and thought to himself, this teacher Bai, who was also a young woman in literature and art back then, must be a little sentimental.

"You're welcome, we are friends who also like history and novels."

When I come to Beijing again this time, I still live in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel next to Jinyu Alley.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Peng Zichen called suddenly: "Ms. Li, the new version of the manuscript is great! I think as long as I amend two more details, I can submit it to our director for a second review!"

Li Shi was also very happy when he heard that, the two communicated for a while, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately revised the two places Peng Zichen said.

Peng Zichen had been waiting, and after reading it, he immediately replied: "It's ok, I'll submit it now,"

After chatting for a few words, Li Shi put down his cell phone, feeling slightly excited, he couldn't help but walked a few steps back and forth in the hotel room.

Then I picked up my phone again, picked out a few photos I took in Beijing and Anyang this time, and posted them on Moments: After traveling between the two places, I successfully entered the second trial. The hard work these days was finally not in vain, let me commemorate it.

As soon as the news was sent out, the qq message prompt on the top of the screen popped up.

Bai Mangmang sent a message: "Stubborn Stone, I have it!!!"

Li Shi:?
Li Shi, who was still a little excited, was stunned.

No, what do you have?
Across the network cable, we didn't do anything. (end of this chapter)
