Tan Songxue had to read Chen Kezhi's text messages and call records when he came back from offering sacrifices to his ancestors.

Chen Kezhi generously gave him the phone: "Zhou Yizhu won't come to see me anymore, I deleted all the text messages she sent, are you satisfied?" After finishing speaking, he bent down and tapped Tan Songxue's mouth.

Tan Songxue stretched out her tongue and licked the place where she was kissed, wanting to laugh habitually, but thinking that he was here to question Chen Kezhi, she said with a straight face, "What did she tell you?"

Chen Kezhi said fifty-fifty: "Yesterday I turned off the phone, and she sent me a text message to turn it on. Today I told her that I have a daughter-in-law and have slept with her. She gave up."

Tan Songxue didn't turn her head around, and her focus was distorted again: "Have we slept together? That...that counts?"

Chen Kezhi: "..."

Chen Kezhi patted his head: "Of course forget it."

As if she had received some kind of guarantee, Qin Songxue immediately held Chen Kezhi's face on tiptoe happily and kissed him heavily, then ran out of the study to observe the hibernating egg|dan in the water tank.

Chen Kezhi shook his head and sighed, what a fool.

In the ninth year of Yonghe, the age was in Gui Chou, and at the beginning of late spring, he would meet at Lanting in Shanyin of Kuaiji, and he would be doing things.

Chen Kezhi was a little annoyed, so he started to write on the first day of the new year.As soon as he raised his hand, he turned his back to "Lanting Preface". Now his Lanting Preface is no longer a complete copy of Feng Chengsu. Among them are Chu Suiliang, Huang Tingjian, Su Shi, and occasionally Zhang Xu's uninhibited and publicity.

The so-called copying is to use thin paper to write and draw on it, and to imitate writing and drawing when facing, and to imitate without looking at the original copybook or picture book, which is the most difficult.

The copybooks he practiced in the past few years were all in preparation for this "Orchid Pavilion Preface". When he first started reciting, he couldn't remember the interval between the strokes of the next stroke.

Qin's father is very strict with him. Although the ratio is not one to one, the distance between words and lines and lines must be exactly the same as the original post. Even if he has a superb memory, he can't do this. He can only write the first post based on his impressions. one line.

Qin Songxue didn't know why his father asked for the spacing to be written down, but Qin's father said it was for better layout of future creations.

Where to start writing, ink from thick to dry, how to leave the blank of the whole post.

During that time, Chen Kezhi's study was very difficult, and Tan Songxue secretly looked at his father from the side, wondering if he would be worse than his brother in the future.

Chen Kezhi turned 16 after the Chinese New Year, but he was still not allowed to participate in the provincial exhibition because he was not old enough.The provincial exhibition is much more formal than the city exhibition, and there is a requirement for the participating age, which must be over [-] years old.Chen Kezhi still has two years to meet the standard. He can only participate in youth competitions at present, but Chen Kezhi will not spend too much energy preparing for that kind of competition. Even if he participates, all he sends is his stage practice works.

There is a reason why they don't pay attention to youth competitions. First, the level of the province is not particularly high compared to the whole country. Second, all the masters will not screen good seedlings through the youth book fair. Such competitions have no gold content. A group of half-grown children are just trying to show off, and entering the exhibition is only eligible to apply for the Youth Calligraphers Association.With Chen Kezhi's current level, if he submits works, he will be accepted every time he votes.But Father Tan wanted Tan Songxue and Chen Kezhi to achieve far more than that.

There are still two years to go, Chen Kezhi not only has to prepare "Lanting Preface", but also has to prepare other works and send them out together.

In addition to the provincial exhibition, the high-level competitions also have a relatively high gold content in the provincial youth exhibition. Chen Kezhi mainly prepares for these two competitions.

One of Chen Kezhi's works for the competition has been decided to be running script. Due to the fierce competition in running script, he must write Wang Xizhi's verve to stand out.

He was thinking about the 3000 yuan bonus, although the chances of using running script to win the bonus were not high, but he still wanted to try, and if he failed, he still had seal script works to support his appearance.

Chen Kezhi did not write unilaterally. Father Qin has many excellent works in the provincial and national exhibitions to appreciate, and he can see some rules of the works selected for each exhibition.

There are still some level differences among the exhibited works in the provincial exhibition, but there is no difference in the national exhibition.Qin's father said that as long as they enter the national exhibition, everyone's level is about the same, and the winners are all apprentices of famous teachers.

Regarding Father Tan's words, Chen Kezhi thought it was an industry|unspoken|rule|rule, thinking that his and Qin Songxue's backgrounds were obviously not strong enough, so it would be impossible to participate in the National Exhibition as smoothly as others in the future.

Completely misunderstood the meaning that father Tan said that his own level was too low compared to the whole country, which caused his disciples to start from too low.

After opening the studio, Father Tan spent more time painting than writing. Compared with writing, painting is easier and simpler, and it is more acceptable to the public.

There are too few people who really understand calligraphy. Yi Xiuyun often complains that those retired veteran cadres are just some kind of calligraphers. The belt is broken.How many people can understand the Han bamboo slips and seal scripts written by real masters?But I still don't know how to pretend to understand, so I have to comment on every word.

But Chen Kezhi still gave up painting and put all his energy on writing in the limited time.

Before the end of the winter vacation, Chen Kezhi needed to complete a four-foot vertical work in running script. After Tan's mother went back to work in the city on the seventh day of the new year, the Qin family's father and son and Chen Kezhi chose to go to the provincial capital on the twelfth day of the lunar calendar after living for a period of time.

Originally, father Tan was scheduled to leave on the eighth day of the lunar new year, but Chen Kezhi told his master that he wanted to stay for a few days.

Last summer, Chen Kezhi only stayed home for a week. Chen's mother missed her son very much. She didn't take care of her third year in high school this year. She didn't start school until the Lantern Festival, so she asked Chen Kezhi to stay with her at home. Chen's father didn't care much about it. It is said that when the son grows up, he must have less and less time to go home. Now that he does not get used to it, it is difficult to cook for his son when he is working.

Chen Kezhi smoothed things over by saying that he also wanted to spend more time with his mother. There were not many opportunities to meet each other in a year, and there were fewer vacations after work, and the time to come back was even shorter.

The sentence "I want to support but not to be loved" went back and forth in his heart.

Father Chen hummed twice, feeling quite satisfied in his heart.

How sensible is my son.

At the same time, Chen Kezhi began to get in touch with seal cutting, and carved the Qingyishui Yishan stele.Yi Xiuyun's engraving was better than Father Tan's, so sometimes he would teach the two children some tricks, alternating with Father Tan.

Yi Xiuyun is just thirty, but he looks only 24-[-], very young.Father Tan has a good background, even if he doesn't care much about his clothes, he looks very temperamental.Yi Xiuyun is different. He has similar background to Father Tan, but he has carefully crafted his own image inside and out. A lot of effort has been spent on subtle changes in hairstyle, matching of clothes, colors and accessories.When he was in the Academy of Fine Arts, Father Tan laughed at him for dressing up like a peacock every time he went out. Yi Xiuyun didn't care, but laughed at Father Tan for his lack of taste.

Yi Xiuyun is very free and easy. Although he and Qin's father opened the calligraphy class together, he seldom teaches people to write. He thinks it takes too much energy. He would rather stay up for a month to draw a fine brushwork than spend his time with a group of half-grown children. body.As for Qin Songxue and Chen Kezhi, who were already highly savvy, they only mentioned a few words, not as patient as father Tan.

Writing and engraving are not together, the students are noisy, and there are many empty rooms in the house, so Father Tan and Yi Xiuyun specially set aside a small room for engraving. The scattered stone chips are easy to clean up, and it is also convenient to find materials.During the daytime, when the light was good, Tan Songxue and Chen Kezhi carved chapters in the room. Because Father Tan went back for the Chinese New Year, Yi Xiuyun was not willing to teach, so he gave the group of students a holiday a few days before the Chinese New Year, and no students came to write during the winter vacation. .

Chen Kezhi is stronger than Qin Songxue, and he can directly hold the stone in his hand to engrave it, without the imprint bed as a fixation. Father Qin and Yi Xiuyun also engraved the seals directly in their hands, so that they can control the angle and strength more precisely.But after working in a job for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be occupational diseases. Yi Xiuyun's finger joints have some slight deformities, which are not particularly obvious, and you won't notice them unless you look carefully.

Qin Songxue has never left the printing bed since he first learned seal cutting, which made him very unhappy.

How could Chen Kezhi be so skillful, more like a veteran than him?

"Don't file your fingers." Chen Kezhi saw Tan Songxue unscrew the movable screw next to the printing bed, and took out the semi-finished exercise chapter.

"How come..." Tan Songxue was full of confidence.

Chen Kezhi didn't persuade him either, this little ruffian had to suffer his own losses before he could remember anything.

Qin Songxue held the practice chapter with her left hand, and the carving knife with her right hand, and pushed hard on the line, but she couldn't grasp the strength well, and the carving knife went out, leaving a shallow scratch on the chapter.

"Tsk..." Tan Songxue became irritable.

Chen Kezhi waited expressionlessly for his next cut.

"Hey..." Because the engraving requires a lot of power, Qin Songxue always likes to be dubbed by himself when engraving, and it has a sense of rhythm. Yi Xiuyun once heard it by accident and thought it was very interesting, so he specially recorded it with his mobile phone. Playing it to Father Tan, Father Tan felt that his son was about to embarrass him.

As a result of using too much force, Qin Songxue's wrist trembled a little, so she tilted her left hand and confiscated her right hand...

"Ouch!" Tan Songxue confiscated the carving knife and filed the blade out against his index finger.

Although the blade has become blunt through the baptism of years, it is still a sharp blade after all, so a small cut was made on his finger in an instant, and Tan Songxue threw the carving knife away yelling.

Chen Kezhi: "..."

The carving knife that Qin Songxue started to use was an old carving knife that his father had bought for more than ten years. It was very easy to hold in his hand. The 6.5mm specification can be used for stamps of normal size.That set of engraving knives is also Tan's father's favorite, and he must use it every time he engraves a seal.

The white steel knife fell to the ground, and immediately curled its blade. Chen Kezhi glanced at the knife, probably not being able to repair it.

Qin Songxue clapped her hands and said "Ouch", blood beads popped out after a while.

Chen Kezhi picked up the carving knife on the ground, put it on the table, and took him to wash his hands.

Because it was winter, there was no need to worry about infection, but just in case, I had to take Qin Songxue to get a tetanus shot.Father Tan didn't have a car, so he had to trouble Yi Xiuyun to go to the hospital.

The place where Qin Songxue was filed swelled up, and the wound was very large. When cleaning it, Qin Songxue groaned in pain and almost cried.

Father Tan was very angry when he found out, he didn't feel sorry for his hapless son at all, and scolded: "Don't use my knife anymore!" If Qin Songxue hadn't grown so big, he would have beaten the little bastard to death.

How many years has he used that white steel knife!

As a result, Qin Songxue was so easily slashed.

Father Tan's heart was bleeding.

Father Tan's expression was really terrifying, and the guilty Qin Songxue nodded hastily.

In the end, Father Tan gave Tan Songxue 100 yuan: "Go and buy a few that are good for you, and get the rest of the money back. Don't spend it carelessly."

Tan Songxue stuck out her tongue, actually feeling sorry for the carving knife, she didn't show it on her face, and pulled Chen Kezhi out with him.

Chen Kezhi brought a lot of money, and he only had a carving knife in his hand, so he had to buy some different models for emergencies.Because Tan's father didn't have many carving knives, the best ones were taken away by Tan Songxue, and the others didn't feel good in his hands, so he had to go out and buy new ones.And I have to buy a few knives and keep them in storage for a few years later.

In fact, the two of them rarely come out to buy these things. Father Tan has most of the things he needs, so he can just take them from there.

However, as the two of them grow older, Father Qin's things are not in unlimited supply. Not to mention Chen Kezhi, but Tan Songxue alone. After he becomes an adult, he will probably go out independently and not be with Father Tan. At that time, there is no stock for what he wants to use.

The largest calligraphy utensils store in city n is located in the city's central bookstore. The store is relatively large, with a wide range of items and reasonable prices.Qin Songxue and Chen Kezhi bought copybooks here. The boss saw that he was young and cute. Most of the copybooks he chose were difficult, and the quality was high, and the prices were relatively expensive. .So I couldn't help but had a few words with him. Tan Songxue was talkative by nature, more open-minded and active. When the boss talked to him about calligraphy practice, he started talking non-stop, talking about which calligraphy he liked, What they practiced and where they can complement and learn from each other for creation is clear and logical. The boss seldom saw such a professional child, so he immediately remembered Qin Songxue, so the two of them got acquainted with the store.

Chen Kezhi put his hands on his shoulders, let the little ruffian show off, and then paid the bill. After knowing that the store gave them a discount, he said thank you, and took him home by bus.

As soon as the two entered the store this time, the boss greeted them: "Happy Chinese New Year, kid, are you here to buy copybooks again?"

"Uncle Yu, don't call me a kid, I'm already in the second year of junior high school! Listen, haven't I changed my voice?" Qin Songxue's male duck voice is very distinctive, and it's quite ugly, but he thinks it's grown up A sign, frequently talking to show off to people.Chen Kezhi warned him to talk less, his throat will not be repaired if it is damaged during this period of time, and he has been so dumb all his life, so Tan Songxue closed his chattering mouth at home.

Tan Songxue didn't focus on what he said, and Chen Kezhi continued his words: "Uncle Yu, Happy New Year, this time we will not buy copybooks, but some carving knives and paper. The previous one was broken by my younger brother."

The author has something to say: The printing bed is shown in the picture↓

The engraving knife is shown in the picture ↓. It is a very heavy knife, and there may be a large engraved rubber stamp. The two kinds of knives are completely different.
