The Road to Rebirth

After breakfast on the weekend, Qin Ziyan went back to his study to paint the ink painting that was due on Monday.

Just as he was concentrating on it, the door of the study opened, and Mother Qin walked in: "Zi Yan, Mo Han is here."

Qin Ziyan looked at the door in surprise, put the palette on the low table aside, got up and said, "Why are you here?"

"En." Qu Mohan responded, noticing the little starling squatting at Qin Ziyan's feet.

As soon as the little starling saw Qin's mother, he stood up, ran towards Qin's mother happily with his short legs, rubbed his head affectionately at Qin's mother's trousers, but seemed a little strange to Qu Mohan, raised his head and looked at Qu Mohan. Mo Han continued to circle around Mother Qin's foot.

"Let's talk, I'm going out first." Mother Qin smiled and bent down to pick up the little starling, and closed the study door for them.

Qu Mohan walked to the easel and carefully admired Qin Ziyan's half-finished work. This time, Qin Ziyan painted bamboo. Last week, when Qin Ziyan first joined the painting club, he once painted an orchid. He knew that Qin Ziyan had learned ink painting before. But definitely more than a little superficial understanding.

"This is the homework due next Monday." Qin Ziyan sat back in front of the easel, picked up the palette and continued painting.

Seeing that Qin Ziyan was concentrating on painting, Qu Mohan didn't bother him anymore. He turned his head and looked around. This was the first time he entered Qin Ziyan's study room. A desk, a calligraphy and painting spread out on the desk.

Qu Mohan glanced at Qin Ziyan, walked slowly to the desk, and gently picked up the canvas. It was a magnificent landscape painting. As far as the whole work is concerned, the most eye-catching thing is not the landscape on the painting. Water, but the poem next to it, Qin Ziyan's calligraphy is very good.

Qu Mohan admired it for a moment, carefully put the canvas back on the desk, turned his head to look at the calligraphy works hanging on the wall, and walked up to a piece of "Orchid Pavilion Preface", his eyes involuntarily focused on the lower right corner of the work, the signature of the flowing water , which is Qin Ziyan's work during his lifetime.

After a moment of ecstasy, Qu Mohan glanced back at the painting on the desk, fixed his gaze on the signature on the painting, and frowned slightly. Qin Ziyan and Qin Ziyan both have the same word "Qin". Even if you don't know calligraphy, you can see that the two signatures are almost identical.

There are many works hung on the wall of the study room, some left by Qin Ziyan before his death, and some newly hung by Qin Ziyan.

Qu Mohan remembered that Qin Ziyan had said more than once that he had learned calligraphy since he was a child, and had worshiped Qin Ziyan's parents as teachers, and learned calligraphy from Professor Qin. More than anything.

Qin Ziyan was still concentrating on painting, Qu Mohan didn't want to disturb him, walked to a bookshelf, the whole bookshelf was filled with Qin Ziyan's published books, and there was a row of notebooks at the bottom, a thought suddenly flashed in Qu Mohan's mind , accidentally pulled out a notebook...

"Mo Han." Qin Ziyan called softly.

Qu Mohan turned his head and saw Qin Ziyan still sitting on the easel, with a faint smile on his face, looking at each other in silence for a moment.

Qu Mohan put the unopened notebook back on the bookshelf, and walked to Qin Ziyan's side: "Not yet finished?"

"Well, it's almost there. I want you to come over and take a look." Qin Ziyan said while painting calmly. He seemed to be concentrating on painting, but he was actually paying attention to Qu Mohan's every move. This study is full of What he left behind in the past, and Qu Mohan's thoughts are particularly meticulous.

When Qu Mohan was standing in front of the bookshelf, Qin Ziyan panicked for no reason, and hurriedly called Qu Mohan to stop.

Qu Mohan looked at Qin Ziyan silently, Qin Ziyan's quiet side face looked particularly serious, and when he wrote the pen neatly, a branch jumped off the paper, and the skillful strokes were moderately strong, even if there were no colorful colored inks, It's just monotonous ink painting, but it's still vivid.

Ink is color, with the dry and wet shades of ink, and the size and density of brush strokes, it presents the sense of space and three-dimensionality of mountains, rivers, bamboos and stones. Qin Ziyan's brushwork is skillful and concise, and the shape is vivid and lifelike, with a unique refreshing charm. Qu Mohan once again felt the Qin Ziyan's so-called superficiality was just modesty.

"Don't look at me like that. When I was learning ink painting, I practiced plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. If you let me paint other things, I'm sure I'm not as proficient as I am now." Qin Ziyan was a little embarrassed by Qu Mohan, but he didn't Excessive modesty, really can only draw four gentlemen.

"You can write a poem here." Qu Mohan pointed to the blank space of the canvas, "The finishing touch."

Qin Ziyan tapped his chin with the tip of the pen, searched for poems about bamboo in his mind, picked up the pen and wrote a big "bamboo" character, followed by two vertical lines of poems: several poles of verdant dragons, steep beards Teach here to live.Unlimited wild flowers can't bloom, and the cold color in the middle of the mountain competes with spring.

Qu Mohan couldn't help but concentrate his eyes. This was the first time he had witnessed Qin Ziyan writing calligraphy with his own eyes.

"How is it?" Qin Ziyan put down the palette and brush, turned to look at Qu Mohan with a smile.

"Want to hear the truth?" Qu Mohan teased Qin Ziyan in a rare good mood. Seeing Qin Ziyan narrowing his eyes slightly, he took the painting off the shelf, held it in his hand and admired it carefully, and said for a long while, "You will paint and calligraphy Combined together, the painting becomes a foil."

"It seems that I have to keep working hard, I'm not good at learning." Qin Ziyan didn't feel sad at all, and asked Qu Mohan to take the painting to the desk by the window, tidy up the messy pile of painting utensils, raised his arm and twisted Suddenly, a pair of hands pressed his shoulders in good time.

Qin Ziyan sat down on the single sofa enjoying himself, and asked Qu Mohan to help him pinch his shoulders: "The workmanship is good, keep up the good work."

Qin Ziyan rested for a while, took the tablet on the coffee table, entered the password to enter the interface, clicked on the sx Literature City app, the serialization has more than 6 characters today, and the popularity is getting more and more popular, while maintaining the first place on the newcomer list, It also squeezed into the top [-] in the * sector monthly list.

Checked the serial page, went to the background to refresh the data, but saw that a message was received in the text message on the site, Qin Ziyan opened the site casually, thinking it was another advertisement from the Literature City, and unexpectedly saw four "Editor's Notes" Words, heartbeat can not help but speed up.

"What's wrong?" Qu Mohan couldn't help tightening his hands caressing Qin Ziyan's shoulders, leaning over and asking with concern.

"Literary City has signed a contract with me." Qin Ziyan clicked on the short content of the website, and held the tablet in front of Qu Mohan, "Xiao Zha is the editor of the * group of Literature City, a very old editor, I thought she had already If you don’t bring a new author, you will take the initiative to find me.”

* Dashen Shangshangsign is also the author of Xiaozha, but now Shangshangsign is different from the past. There is a special working team, responsible for Shangshangsign's serialization and recommendation in Literature City, in addition to being responsible for his publishing and Listing for sale, and other copyright related.

When he was a paper inkstone, sx literature city specially set up a working team for him, usually only in charge of him alone, as long as he created with peace of mind, all other work was handed over to the working team, and if others wanted to contact him, they had to With work teams, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

"Well, congratulations." Qu Mohan took the tablet and sat next to Qin Ziyan, "You can rest assured after signing the contract."

Qin Ziyan smiled in a good mood, took the tablet that Qu Mohan handed back to him, copied the q|q number sent to him by Xiaozha, added it to the search bar of q|q, marked the verification message and sent it out , I thought it would take a while, but I didn't expect to pass the verification soon.

Qin Ziyan took the initiative to say hello to the other party, Xiao Zha's reputation in the Literature City is very good, after all, he is a veteran editor, and all of his subordinates are masters in the rankings of the * section, as early as a few years ago, I heard that there are no newcomers Yes, he was really surprised when he saw the station short just now.

The two chatted for a few words, Xiao Zha directly cut to the point, and talked to him about the signing of the contract. Qin Ziyan has been in the Literature City for so many years, and he is already very familiar with signing contracts, so he and Xiao Zha quickly negotiated. I received the electronic version of the contract and relevant regulations from Xiaozha.

Qin Ziyan opened the contract, first printed out one copy for Qu Mohan to read, and then printed three copies. The contract needs to be in quadruplicate. After signing, send it to the headquarters of Yu Group. The headquarters is in City S. He used to directly Send him to the company, and this time, Qu Mohan can also send him there.

Qu Mohan read it very carefully, and just finished reading a page, when he looked up, he saw that Qin Ziyan had signed his name gracefully, and glanced suspiciously at Qin Ziyan: "You signed the contract without reading it?"

Qin Ziyan was stunned, and said calmly: "I have read Teacher Qin's contract, and the content is the same."

Qu Mohan curled his lips into a smile, and there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes. He flipped through the contract and said, "You signed it for five years?"

Qin Ziyan nodded: "Well, sx Literature City signed an author agreement. As long as you sign a contract with Literature City, all works can only be published on this website. It's all in your hands."

While explaining the main content of the contract to Qu Mohan, Qin Ziyan signed the remaining three contracts, attached a copy of his ID card, bound them into a file bag, and marked the cover of the file bag: "Do you have class tomorrow afternoon? Accompany me to the headquarters?"

"Okay." Qu Mohan nodded. He will have professional classes tomorrow morning and two public classes in the afternoon. It doesn't matter if he takes a leave of absence.

"Thank you." Qin Ziyan put the contract aside, and it happened that Qin's mother opened the door and came in to ask them to have lunch. Only then did she realize that the morning had passed before she knew it, so she hurriedly took Qu Mohan to eat.

In the dining room, Qin's mother had already put the food on the table, and Qin's father was sitting and waiting for them. When he saw them coming in, he waved.

"Professor Qin, excuse me." Qu Mohan still wanted to take Qin Ziyan out to eat, but the time passed quickly without noticing. Every time he was with Qin Ziyan, he felt very comfortable. Qin Ziyan had a quiet aura that he liked, even if He is also very happy to sit and chat with each other.

Qin's father admired Qu Mohan's personality very much, and the conversation was very enjoyable as soon as the topic started, and then it came to Qin Ziyan, Qin Ziyan took the opportunity to tell Qin's father about the signing of the contract, Qin's father was very concerned about his writing in the past, I heard that he The editor is Xiao Zha, and he happily drank an extra glass of wine.

After lunch, several people moved to the living room. Qin Ziyan made tea for Father Qin and Qu Mohan. Before the tea was finished, Qu Mohan was called back by Han Muze. Mynah, send Qu Mohan downstairs.

After seeing off Qu Mohan, Qin Ziyan discussed the signing of the contract with Qin's father in detail, and stayed in the study in the afternoon to write the manuscript.

Then came the time for real hard work. Maybe there are still countless people questioning his achievements, always thinking that he relied on the dragon to give birth to nine sons, so he needs more proofs, proving that his strength is worthy of his current achievements, Signing a contract is only the first step, and there is still a long way to go.
