The dead enemy in the previous life gave me joy

Gu Zhai thought that the illness was worth it, and Chu Chu was finally willing to continue talking with him.

On this day, Chu Chu unconsciously walked to Gu Zhai's study room. Before making complete preparations, he should not sneak into the study room rashly. Besides, brother Mingsheng is not fully prepared now.

He sighed softly, turned around to leave, but the door of the study behind him slowly opened, "Jingxi, are you here to see me?" Gu Zhai seemed a little happy, how could Chu Chu hear the expectation in his words? not out.

He smiled at him gently, "Well, I want to practice calligraphy and painting with you."

Thinking about it carefully, these words must have seemed abrupt, but for Gu Zhai, Chu Chuken took the initiative to find him and it was better than all the unreasonable things, "Go back to your room and wait for me, I will come right away."

Chu Chu glanced at him, and answered obediently: "Okay."

The moment Gu Zhai closed the door, a trace of unbearableness flashed across Chu Chu's eyes, and it was fleeting.

The milky white rice paper was laid out on the desk in Chu Chu’s room. Chu Chu looked around, twisted the paper with his hands, and called Wang Xi in dissatisfaction, “I bought a few high-quality papers before. I want to try new paper, you can remove this familiar rice paper and try another one..."

Although Wang Xi arranged it obediently, he was very puzzled. He asked, "Isn't this raw Xuan Xuan ink stained...Although Wang Xi is stupid, I have seen that you don't like to buy raw Xuan."

Chu Chu smiled, "Of course I know that Shengxuan will get wet, and if you are not careful, it will be soaked, but this is not practicing calligraphy, so it doesn't matter." He glanced at Gu Zhai who had already stepped into his room, " What's more, General Zhanshen can write well and control his strength, so he can't get through this paper!"

Gu Zhai also smiled when he heard this, "Don't look at my background as a warrior, you really can't trouble me with this raw rice paper~"

Chu Chudao: "Don't talk too much, I choose the freshest Shengxuan, if there is a deviation in the strength control, it will be pasted, but even if it is pasted, it will not stain the case. There are several layers of padding under the head, and there is also felt."

Gu Zhai praised: "You are still thoughtful~"

The two moved chairs together and sat down in front of the desk, Gu Zhai took out a piece of rice paper over there, thought for a while and began to write.

Chu Chu was not in a hurry, he took out a piece of rice paper, and carefully drew on it, Gu Zhai couldn't help being attracted by him, within a few strokes, something seemed to come alive on the rice paper under his hand.

There was a spot of bright red in the yellow sand all over the sky. Gu Zhai looked carefully and saw that it was the figure of a fox. "Running wildly in the yellow sand, this fox is so beautiful~"

He looked again at the person holding the brush and couldn't help but said in his heart: People who draw foxes are more beautiful.

"The wind and sand are endless, it's just fighting for your life, what's so beautiful about it." Chu Chu said.

"But this fox has survived the wind and sand, how can it be said that it is not beautiful." Gu Zhai said.

The two looked at the problem from completely different angles, and they couldn't tell the right from the wrong. Chu Chu simply ignored it and continued to perfect his own painting. When the painting was almost finished, he seemed to call Gu Zhai unintentionally, " I finished the drawing, and your handwriting has always been better than mine, so you come to inscription."

Gu Zhai squeezed the pen in his hand, moved to his side, "What do you want to ask?"

"What nonsense, just look at the question." Chu Chu said angrily, he really didn't care about the question, all he cared about was...

Gu Zhai rolled up his sleeves, and wrote in the upper right corner of the painting with ease.

When he finished writing, Chu Chu looked at it again, but blushed, "Gu Zhai, you are becoming more and more unscrupulous. From ancient times to the present, have you ever seen anyone write such words on their paintings!"

Gu Zhai put down his pen, "Every word is sincere, this fox is beautiful, and the person who draws the fox is even more beautiful. There is nothing wrong with my inscription."

Chu Chu stretched out her hand, "Bring it!"

Gu Zhai narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"Your seal, what do you mean? The inscription is not stamped. When I get it in front of people, people will say that I can use the name of the general by just writing a few words. Don't think I am a person who deceives the world and steals my name." ~"

Gu Zhai tore off a handbag from his waist and handed it to Chu Chu, "I thought I wanted to give you something, you can cover it whatever you want, as long as you are happy."

It was a bluestone seal, and Chu Chu turned the seal over, and engraved on it with Yang engraving: Seal of Gu Changning.He breathed on the seal, took the ink pad, and pressed it in carefully. He was afraid that the mud would not get on it, so he repeatedly increased the force three times, and finally covered the place where Gu Zhai wrote the inscription neatly. go down.

Gu Zhai walked up to him and leaned over to support him, teasing, "You are so serious about drawing, do you want to take this painting and sell it for a good price in the future~"

Holding the square seal, Chu Chu turned her head and said with a smile, "Yes, that's what I thought. If my painting is paired with the calligraphy of General War God, it will definitely sell for an excellent price."

Chu Chu lifted Gu Zhai's supporting hand, turned over his own seal, also dipped in the ink pad, and found a place not too far or near to cover it, the joy on his face was overflowing.

Gu Zhai waited for him to seal the seal, and pulled the painting from under his hands, "You want to use my name to gain money by yourself, you can make a good plan, I will buy this painting, five Five cents, how much money do I need besides my half?"

Chu Chubai gave him a look and said, "It's not interesting, just send it off if you want."

He took away the soaked rice paper and replaced it with new rice paper. Afraid that Chu Chu would get angry, Gu Zhai came up to coax him, "Put it here with me first, and I'll help you out if the price is right. Don't worry, all the money will be given to you~"

"Who cares~" Chu Chu said, he picked up a pen and began to practice calligraphy.

"Your handwriting is not as good as yours. The pen you drew just now is delicate and light. How come it is so blunt when it comes to writing? It takes hard work to control the pen." Gu Zhai revealed his shortcomings mercilessly.

"Otherwise, if you take me as your teacher, I will teach you every day in the future, and I can help you solve this problem within a year." Gu Zhai said happily.

"Then why don't you take me as your teacher, who can also teach you how to paint every day, how about you can draw the little fox I just drew after keeping you for half a year~" Chu Chu said disgustedly.

Gu Zhai laughed, without words, but said in his heart: I wish you to be my teacher and learn painting from you, if you see my painting skills you won't be so shameless.

"When the flowers are in full bloom next spring, find a good scene and I will draw a picture for you. Let's compare and see whose painting is better." Gu Zhai said.

Chu Chu was wiping the ink stains on his hands. Hearing Gu Zhai's words, he was full of thoughts. Next year is too far away to wait.

Gu Zhai patted him on the shoulder, "What are you thinking about, so preoccupied, what words do you want, since you gave me a painting, then I will also write a painting for you, it's reciprocal."

Chu Chu came back to his senses, turned Gu Zhai's palm over, and wrote on it stroke by stroke: The mountains and rivers are worry-free, and the home and country are peaceful.

Gu Zhai looked at it and said, "Madam originally had such a big ambition, but it seems that her husband is too narrow-minded. I thought it meant 'wealth will be abundant and everything will be prosperous'!"

In fact, Gu Zhai was not that surprised. He knew that Chu Chu had a kind heart as early as the way back from defending against the Nanman. He probably went to the battlefield with him once, so he understood the value of peace in the world.

Gu Zhai rolled up his sleeves and wrote the eight big characters with a brush, while Chu Chu obediently studied the ink for him.

In fact, these eight words were not accidentally uttered, Chu Chu also hoped to use this to tell Gu Zhai what he wanted in his heart, he did not expect him to "sorrow the hardships of the people's life" like him[1], he only hoped that he would Do less evil.

After Gu Zhai left, Chu Chu took out the rice papers soaked in imprints that he had put away, and carefully selected them, "It is necessary to have less ink stains and clear imprints. Very difficult!"

He found the best one among them, re-dipped the pen and dipped in the ink, and wrote it gently, writing with the utmost gentleness.

When he finally finished writing the last word, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Seeing Gu Zhai's mark and his own mark on the top, his heart sank when he should be lighthearted. Once the book is completed, the nominal relationship between him and him will be broken.

"Changning, will you blame me for using some inconspicuous tricks to facilitate the reconciliation? I know that if I tell you clearly, you will definitely not agree. I have no other choice, just treat it as my debt in this life I lost yours, and I will pay you back when I have protected Lingguo, completed the regrets of my previous life, and will be a cow or a horse in my next life." Chu Chu murmured.

Chu Chu gently dried the ink on the Heli book, rolled it up and kept it away.

He has settled with Li Shu, and the most important thing is for him to stay in the General's Mansion and Shangjing. He has never asked where Gu Zhai's soldier talisman is kept, and he is afraid that it will make Gu Zhai suspicious of him, but According to his long-term observation, the study that Gu Zhai cherished so much must be kept in the study.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says to "make a decision before moving" [3], Jinhe Lishu has managed to get it, he is already an arrow from the string, and there is no turning back.

It's just that Gu Zhai is too smart, it's not easy for him to achieve his goal under his nose. For some reason, he secretly feels that if he enters that study and is caught by Gu Zhai, it will definitely end badly. The reason why I haven't visited that study room since I entered the mansion for so long.

According to Tao Jiang's own style, he must be the first to look for an opportunity and poke in. The time when Gu Zhai was unconscious was the best time, but he didn't, he always believed in his intuition.

If it wasn't for the soldier talisman that he had to sneak in now, he would never take the risk this time!

General Gu Zhanshen, what exactly are you hiding in your study?

He couldn't think of any hidden secrets that a person like Gu Zhai could have, so he said silently in his heart:

I'm really not interested in your secrets, I promise to only take the soldier talisman, I will leave as soon as I get the soldier talisman, and I will never reveal anything related to that study room!There is a god in the sky, I swear!

Explain here:

It is said that raw rice paper has strong water absorption and water permeability, and can bleed ink, while cooked rice paper has less ink bleed, and ink is not easy to penetrate. If it is not good, it is considered a private design.

Chu Chu placed the felt under the raw rice paper but left the stamped place blank, so the imprint passed through the raw rice paper and was also printed on the paper below, and he filled in the blank space with written words and Li Shu.
