Rebirth of the Queen

Guan Ming's father looked like a high-ranking official. Even at home, he wore a formal black suit and trousers. His facial features were well-proportioned. He was neither fat nor thin. Said, it's not bad, at least his stomach is only slightly fat, and his thick eyebrows always reveal the majesty and authority of a high-ranking official. It seems that he is used to giving orders and is not used to being led.

But when Guan Ming's father saw Mu Jinzhi, the serious expression on his face immediately changed into a kind smile, and he looked like an elder who loved the younger generation very much.

"Jinzhi is here! Sit down, there are fruits on the table, all washed, eat whatever you want." Guan Ming's father happily greeted Mu Jinzhi to sit in the living room, and then he turned his head to the very blind man. Guan Ming drank, "If you don't pour a cup of tea for Jinzhi, you don't know how to be polite!"

"You're welcome, I'll do it myself!" Mu Jinzhi handed the red wine brought from Mu Wei's house to Guan Ming's father with both hands, and said in a gentle and polite way, "I didn't bring any presents for uncle when I came here. Ganhong is just a little greeting gift from the younger generation, uncle please be sure to accept it."

Seeing this, Guan Ming's father frowned, a little unhappy, "It's fine if someone comes, bring some presents, and you're still a student, what do you buy these high-end wines for? Don't do this again in the future. You can take this wine home to see." Can I go back?"

"Father, Jinzhi has good intentions, so forget it if you don't appreciate it, and teach others as soon as you come up. I think you are an official, and you like to teach people when you meet them!" Guan Ming handed Mu Jin the hand put the tea on the coffee table, reached out to take the red wine in Mu Jinzhi's hand, and relieved Mu Jinzhi who was a little embarrassed, "Dad, why do you say this is a high-end wine if you don't see clearly? Although this wine is old brand, but it is the wine produced last year, and it only costs a few hundred yuan in the market, which is not expensive."

"It's not a question of whether the wine is high-grade or not. In short, I have to criticize Jinzhi when he brings gifts here today. Students must look like students." Guan Ming's father turned his head to Mu Jinzhi and said seriously, acting like an adjutant. "Jinzhi, you said what uncle said, right?"

Rolling his eyes, Guan Ming was about to continue to refute his father, but Mu Jinzhi quickly interjected, "Uncle taught me that I didn't think carefully today, and I will definitely pay attention next time. Didn't uncle say that he wanted to invite me to see calligraphy and painting? I've been itchy for a long time, why don't uncle take me to have a look?"

When it came to calligraphy and painting, Guan Ming's father showed joy on his face. He temporarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing to educate the juniors not to be extravagant and wasteful, but led Mu Jinzhi to the room where he collected antique calligraphy and paintings.

"Jinzhi! Your Xiaozhuan is really good. Apart from Xiaozhuan, what kind of calligraphy are you good at?" Guan Ming's father asked Mu Jinzhi while entering the password for the room where the antique calligraphy and paintings were kept.

"I have practiced regular script and running script for a long time." Mu Jinzhi replied earnestly, followed Guan Ming's father into the house, and when the light came on, he had the illusion of being dazzled for an instant , It even seems that time and space are frozen and reversed at this moment, because it is true that several calligraphy paintings hanging on the walls in this room are extremely exquisite, and they are all top-grade calligraphy works.I saw that some brushes are like dragons and snakes, just like dragons and snakes leaping;

"Uncle's collection is really exquisite." Mu Jinzhi is also a calligraphy lover, and his eyes naturally became hot when he looked at those calligraphy.

"Haha, although these calligraphy are not authentic works of Yan Liu, they are just unnamed calligraphy works that have not left a name in history. In my opinion, they are not too bad. How about Jinzhi also write a calligraphy for uncle to see? Feast your eyes on uncle?" Guan Ming's father led Mu Jinzhi to the desk in the room, where there was still half an unfinished poem "Thirty thousand miles east of the river into the sea".

When Mu Jinzhi saw the half of the characters on the table, he couldn't help but subconsciously commented, "This character is vigorous and vigorous, with strong muscles and bones, the shape of the characters is tall and straight, and the structure is compact. The person who wrote the characters must have the world in mind and thoughtful. Word! I just don’t know whose word it is?”

As soon as Mu Jinzhi's question was asked, Guan Ming's father burst out laughing, his eyes narrowed for joy, and finally he reached out and patted Mu Jinzhi's shoulder, very proud, "Thanks to my nephew Praise, uncle met a bosom friend today!"

Raising his head in surprise, Mu Jinzhi smiled slightly, and showed an expression of "so that's it", then reached out to pick up the writing brush on the table, and followed the first half of the poem to the second half, "Five thousand ren Skyscrapers on the mountain."

"Okay!" Guan Ming's father saw that Mu Jin's pen was leaning sideways and elegant, and the strokes of the pen were obviously chic and straightforward, but there was a bit of simple and elegant peace, so he couldn't help but subconsciously clapped his hands and called out good, sincerely praised, "Jin It is really rare to have such a state of mind at such a young age. This is regular script, how about Jinzhi writing a complete running script for uncle?"

Putting the poem he just wrote aside, Mu Jinzhi picked up a long roll of rice paper, raised his hand and poured a proper amount of water into the inkstone, put his index finger on the top of the ink, clamped his thumb and middle finger on both sides of the ink stick, and began gracefully Grind the ink slowly, press hard and turn lightly, slow first and then fast, the ink produced is uniform in thickness, pure in color, and the faint fragrance of ink slowly enters the nose, which is both eye-catching and pleasant to smell.Guan Ming's father looked at Mu Jinzhi's skillful and elegant posture and movements of grinding ink, and couldn't help but squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

After grinding the ink, Mu Jinzhi put the ink stick aside, chose a brush with both a wolf and a sheep, and began to write this painting calmly. He has copied and pondered countless times, and finally gradually formed his own style. "Orchid Pavilion Preface".

"In the ninth year of Yonghe, at the age of Kuichou, at the beginning of late spring, we will meet at the Orchid Pavilion in Shanyin, Kuaiji..." He wrote down Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" in one breath. When Mu Jinzhi stopped writing, his hand was still There was not even a trace of trembling, but there was faint sweat on his forehead. It was not until he put the brush on the inkstone that he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Guan Ming's father, and said, "Uncle, write alright."

At this time, Mu Jinzhi smiled softly and elegantly, with a faint peace between his brows, just standing here, he already had the charm of a gentleman, just like a handsome man who came out from the depths of the antique ink fragrance, attracting a lot of attention. Guan Ming's father couldn't help admiring, deeply moved, feeling how his own son didn't have Mu Jinzhi's three-point calm and free-spirited demeanor.

"Jinzhi, your handwriting skills are profound! I have seen many people copy Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface", but few of them are as self-contained as you. Your handwriting is clearly meaningful and beautiful, but it is like flowing clouds and flowing water. As gorgeous and natural, I think your heart must be very calm and longing for freedom, because you can see that your hook and hold are not only strong and powerful, but also have a sense of freedom like floating clouds, as if you are about to ride the wind at any time It's really rare." Guan Ming's father saw through the meaning of Mu Jin's words at a glance, which made Mu Jinzhi slightly surprised, thinking that an expert is indeed an expert, and he can see the way at a glance.

"Uncle has won the award, but it's just me scribbling. I just think that in life, we must learn to live well within the rules, and we must always maintain a free and easy childlike heart that yearns for freedom. Only in this way can we live comfortably and It's cool." Mu Jinzhi smiled at Guan Ming's father, and asked back, "What do you think, uncle?"

"Haha! Well said, well said!" Guan Ming's father then took Mu Jinzhi to savor the calligraphy and several Chinese paintings in his collection, and finally ended this hearty ancient culture for the time being. comminicate.And just when Mu Jin glanced at Longyin's sword, and faintly felt that this Longyin gave him a strange feeling, and when he wanted to step up to take a closer look, Guan Ming came over and called them to have dinner, so Mu Jin Jinzhi could only stop, took a few more glances at Long Yin, and followed Guan Ming out of the room, without delving into the faint doubts Long Yin left him.

Going downstairs, Mu Jinzhi saw Guan Ming's mother. She was indeed a great beauty, and her figure was very well maintained. It can be seen that she was a dancer when she was young. Dimpled, his smile was very gentle and friendly, and at this time Li Kun came to Guan Ming's house at some point and was helping Guan Ming's mother to arrange the dishes on the table.

"Auntie, I'm bothering you to make such a large table of dishes today. I'm really embarrassed. I didn't bring you any presents today. I will definitely make up for you next time." Mu Jinzhi's too polite habit , and was criticized by Guan Ming's father again in an instant, "Jinzhi, you are good at everything, but this needs to be changed. Your aunt and I are very happy that you can come. You don't need to bring any gifts. You just treat this place as your own." Home, if you mention the gift again, I will criticize you again."

"Hehe, what your uncle said is that you are still students, so you don't need to pay attention to these common etiquettes, just sit down and eat, and try Auntie's cooking." Guan Ming's mother greeted a few juniors to sit down, and also sat next to Guan Ming's father .

"Jinzhi, sit next to me, let's continue talking about the painting just now." Guan Ming's father waved his hand, and pushed Guan Ming aside, letting Mu Jinzhi sit beside him, as if Mu Jinzhi was a genius It's like his own son, and the way he disliked Guan Ming made Guan Ming hum in disdain, but he only dared to slander his father in his heart, so he quickly moved his seat and sat next to Li Kun, far away from his father. Land, lest his father will scold him later.

Seeing Guan Ming's arrogant appearance, Li Kun reached out and pinched Guan Ming's thigh secretly under the table, calming down Guan Ming's awkward mood, and succeeded in making Guan Ming immediately fall into the embrace of the delicious food, forgetting about him Dad's disgusting little eyes.

After the meal, Mu Jinzhi played a few games of Go with Guan Ming's father. Finally, under Guan Ming's desperate urging, Guan Ming's father was willing to let him go and arranged for his car and driver to send him off. Mu Jinzhi and the others went back to school.

However, before leaving, Guan Ming's father did not forget to pull Mu Jinzhi and ask, "Jinzhi, are you interested in entering our Ministry of Culture after graduation and taking the national civil servant exam?"

Mu Jinzhi was flattered by the olive branch offered by Guan Ming's father, and repeatedly expressed that he would seriously consider this suggestion. I don't want to step foot into the water of politics at all.

When they arrived at the school, Mu Jinzhi heard Li Kun call the driver who brought them back "Dad", and was surprised to find that Li Kun's father was actually the driver of Guan Ming's father, and according to Guan Ming, Li Kun Dad followed Guan Ming's father all the way to the promotion, so it's no wonder that Li Kun and Guan Ming can become bamboo horses, and now they have developed such a close relationship, and it's no wonder that Li Kun has always studied harder than Guan Ming. It seems that Li Kun is also trying to follow Guan Ming's pace closely at all times!

Thinking of this, Mu Jinzhi couldn't help thinking, with Guan Ming's family background, Li Kun and Guan Ming's relationship road will not be smooth sailing in the future, I'm afraid it depends on whether they can let go of some things, whether they can endure it We've passed that hurdle.But this is someone else's private matter, Mu Jinzhi just thought about it so casually and then left it behind, after all, it's useless to think about something that hasn't happened yet.
