Chapter 425
Shortly after the three brothers left the valley in the morning, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien also cleaned up and returned to the city. After waiting for a day, they didn't see Li Mu back home, and sent someone to the Ministry of Works to find him. When he learned that Li Mu had gone to the heaven and earth, Li Zhien knew that Li Mu must have had a secret meeting with Wang Ou again. Although he felt a little savory, he did not expose it in front of Bai Qiaoqiao. In short, Wang Ou hadn't seen Li Mu for several days, and she could still accept it when she got together for half a day.
After a long time, the little girl was not so jealous. But this was limited to Li Mu's current four wives. If one more was added, it would definitely not work. For example, Wei Yingluo, or the dancer I saw a few days ago, are all objects of vigilance.
Li Mu has seen anyone, and Li Zhien can clearly distinguish it. Because she can smell it, Li Mu has tried it many times, but it is not bad at all. It has to be said that it is a skill. Li Mu has studied this for a long time but has not yet developed any reason, so it can only be attributed to talent.
Although Li Mu was yelling every day that he was tired and had to rest and have a holiday. But when the holiday really came, he suddenly felt a little empty again and didn't know what to do. After dinner, he was idle, Li Mu came out of the house with Pangda in his arms. This guy didn't see him for a few days and had gained weight again, and now he can't hold him on his head.
Li Mu originally planned to build a collar, holding Pangda like walking a dog. But this guy was reluctant to wear it. As long as Li Mu picked up the collar, it seemed like he was about to cry. There was no way, so he had to give up. Fortunately, Pangda was more obedient. Even if there was no collar, Li Mu could hear it. Many times, Li Mu didn't make a sound, and thought about it in his heart, it seemed to have a sense, which made Li Mu a little strange. Could it be that there was a "pet system" here? If this is true, that would be interesting.
In the game "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", pets are a very important element. There are many sources of pets, which can be caught in the wild and beat bosses. Of course, it is also necessary to buy pet eggs directly in the system store to hatch. The attributes of pets are officially claimed to be completely random. But in fact, krypton gold can indeed increase the probability of the emergence of advanced attributes. The value was calculated by Li Mu, and he knew the tricks.
Pets have attributes, such as strength, agility, intelligence, etc. There are also top-quality explosion rates, which are called "adding luck", and there are also specialized leveling practices, which add experience to obtain speed, all kinds of types, and a top-quality pet can definitely improve the game experience qualitatively. However, Li Mu did not expect from Pangda, because in "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", pandas are considered a neutral species, which cannot be attacked, captured, and have no attributes.
Li Mu held Pangda in his arms and handed it a steamed bun.
Recently, this guy is getting more and more capable of eating. Li Mu prepared special panda steamed buns for him, and he has to eat more than twenty a day. The appetite has exceeded everyone here, one for three. This way of eating is that Li Mu is not short of money, and it is impossible to afford it if he changes to ordinary people.
"Come on, grow up quickly. When you grow up, dad will ride you to war. If anyone dares to hit me, you can help me bite him, remember?"
Pangda seemed to understand, looked up at Li Mu, screamed a few times, and then lowered his head to continue eating. Li Mu smiled bitterly, and this scream would be lost. If he had the chance to go to the battlefield tomorrow, he would take such a whine monster, maybe who would bite him for anyone.
Seeing that he was about to finish eating a steamed bun, Li Mu threw it one more, and ignored it. Seeing that there was light in the warehouse, he walked in. The gate of the courtyard was closed, so there was no need to worry that it could run out.
"Xiaozhu?"
Li Mu was quite surprised. He thought it was Li Zhien who counted in the warehouse, but he didn't expect it was Xiaozhu. Seeing Xiaozhu holding an account book and looking serious, Li Mu couldn't help but joke: "Xiaozhu, is this job left to you now? Do you know how to read? Just keep the account?"
"The Marquis underestimated people." Xiao Zhu snorted and said, "I was the daughter of a wealthy family, so why can't I read anymore? Not only do I read, I also learned the four algorithms. Isn't it amazing?"
"Awesome." Li Mu glanced at it, and it turned out that he was using Arabic numerals to keep accounts. It seemed that what Xiaozhu said was not false.
The warehouse space is small. After all, Xiaozhu is a girl's house. She is here. Li Mu doesn't have much time to wait. Just as he is about to turn around, he suddenly saw a leather bag in the corner. The leather bag has a hole in it, and you can see what is inside. With the candlelight, you can see that it seems to be a scroll. Li Mu secretly said, "Where did the calligraphy and painting come from?"
Li Mu walked over, pulled the leather bag out of the pile of debris, and asked casually: "Xiaozhu, do you know where this leather bag comes from?"
"Which one, let me see?" Xiaozhu leaned over and glanced at it, and said, "Oh, this. I know this. This was brought by the Fourth Lady. When moving, it was in a hurry and it was piled up there."
"Tianai brought it?"
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then remembered. Zhang Tianai once mentioned that when she came last time, she brought a batch of antique calligraphy and paintings collected by his father in his early years. I guess it was all about this. Her father was a horse bandit, so it is conceivable how these calligraphy and paintings came from. But it doesn’t matter, no matter how it came from, whoever is in his hands, can he still jump out of the way and want to go back?
Li Mu greeted Xiao Zhu and returned to the room with a leather bag. When he came to the Tang Dynasty, this was the first time he had come into contact with "antiques". He was very curious about what dynasty the antiques in the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty were from.
He opened the rope tied with the leather bag and took the scroll out of the inside. As soon as his hand touched the scroll, a system prompt appeared in his mind, which scared him.
[Sangluan Post: Wang Xizhi.].
The original work of Wang Xizhi?!
Although Li Mu has never loved calligraphy for two lifetimes, he has survived the famous figure of a man and a tree. His most famous work is called "Lanting Xu", and he memorized this ancient text when he was in middle school. Li Mu has never heard of "Sang Luan Tie", but since it is systematically certified, it must be wrong, and it must be the original work of Wang Xizhi.
The original work of Wang Xizhi! How much is this worth!
Li Mu's hands were trembling. He took out the scroll, spread it on the table, and looked carefully in the candlelight. Although he couldn't understand it at all, it didn't prevent him from thinking that the handwriting was beautiful.
The Saint of Calligraphy is worthy of being a Saint of Calligraphy, and it is really well written!
Li Mu sighed and was about to get the second scroll when a system prompt suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Observing the "Sangluan Tie" will give you some insights into Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, trigger "imitation", and the factor collection progress is 1/10.].
What is the situation? This is one-tenth? In other words, with nine original works of Wang Xizhi, we can complete the collection of elements and imitate Wang Xizhi's handwriting?
Wow!
Happiness comes too suddenly!
This is Wang Xizhi! Li Mu instantly made up a picture. When Li Shimin rebuked him again for not practicing diligently, he picked up his pen and wrote a picture of "Lanting Preface". What kind of expression did Li Shimin have? Did he know that the calligrapher Li Shimin admired the most was Wang Xizhi, and he didn't even get shocked to his chin?
But...where do you go to get nine characters from Wang Xizhi?
Although the Tang Dynasty was only more than three hundred years away from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Xizhi's original works still have a lot of stock in the world. However, none of these original works were hidden secretly. Even Li Shimin had never heard of him collecting a few. One or two may be possible, but ten may be a little overthinking. Even if he knew who had them, he would not be able to show them to you.
Li Mu looked through the remaining scrolls in the leather bag, and there was indeed no original work of Wang Xizhi, and they were all people he didn't know. However, there was a picture of Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Post" which was written well, but it was useless. It was all 1/10 and could not be written.
Li Mu found a wooden box, put away the calligraphy and paintings, lay on the rocking chair, and started to think about it.
It is a lie to be unable to speak, and writing is ugly, which has troubled him for a long time. Practicing calligraphy is not a matter of overnight. It takes time to accumulate and he has no patience, so he has never practiced it. Now that he has the skill of [Imitation], making quick success possible, how can he not be moved?
But Wang Xizhi has too few original works, and it is almost impossible to collect ten elements in a short period of time. Let Li Shimin help me find it? If there is no fake imperial edict, you can try it. If you ask him for help now, wouldn’t you feel uncomfortable? What should I do?
Hey?
Fake imperial edict?
A thought suddenly appeared in Li Mu's mind. Wang Xizhi's original works are not easy to find, but Li Shimin's original works are some. Why not imitate him and engrave a seal with a jade seal next time, and then falsely pass the imperial edict, it will be perfect.
Do it as soon as you say it!
Li Mu searched through the boxes and cabinets to find all the imperial edicts, and they were all opened on the table. After watching for a long time, he found that it could not be implemented. After carefully comparing, he realized that the imperial edicts were not all written by Li Shimin, and the imperial edicts he wrote were only a few. Most of them were issued by the Secretariat, and the Secretariat issued the imperial edicts, and the Secretariat wrote the Secretariat, which was completely different from Li Shimin's calligraphy.
Looking at the progress bar on 3/10, Li Mu was worried again. Where can I find seven Li Shimin's calligraphy? Do you want him to go to the palace and tell Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, I admire your calligraphy for a long time. Write seven characters for me and let me copy it." How about you?
It's unrealistic. The emperor is not a little brother. Besides, he is angry, so he should not seek bad luck.
Li Shimin was not good either, and Li Mu thought of another person. Ouyang Xun, who was inscribed on the copper coins, imitated Wang Xizhi's original works before he could use them, at least it was much better than his own dog-style writing style. Li Mu made up his mind and decided to get up early tomorrow to visit Ouyang Xun.
Among the calligraphers of the times, Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan were the most. The two had similar achievements in calligraphy, but because Ouyang Xun was valued by Li Yuan, he wrote these four characters when casting Kaiyuan Tongbao. When Li Yuan was in power, Ouyang Xun was vaguely higher than Yu Shinan.
But because of this, Ouyang Xun caused a lot of criticism in the Shilin. A noble person believed that Ouyang Xun's name was contaminated with a lot of money odor and had fallen into the last stream. Later, in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin ascended the throne. Ouyang Xun was marginalized because he was a "old imperial sect". Yu Shinan was highly valued by Li Shimin and was appointed as the Minister of Rites. As one rose and the other fell, Yu Shinan was one head higher than Ouyang Xun.
The style of Shilin is more tilted towards Yu Shinan, which made Ouyang Xun himself begin to doubt whether his calligraphy has really fallen into inferiority. Over the years, he has deliberately avoided the original brushwork technique, and the font has gradually changed from regular script to running regular script, trying his best to get rid of the influence of "Kaiyuan Tongbao". However, the regular script that he had written for a lifetime suddenly changed to running regular script. Not to mention himself, even if others read it, it would be a bit awkward. And his main opponent, Yu Shinan, is good at running regular script.
When people compare their running scripts, they all think that Ouyang Xun is inferior.
Therefore, when Li Mu said he wanted to practice calligraphy, Li Shimin planned to let Yu Shinan teach him. It was Li Mu who chose Ouyang Xun himself and he also yelled to practice "money books". However, although he was so happy, he was unable to really go to Ouyang Xun to study because of various things.
Ouyang Xun was waiting for a while, but he didn't come after Li Mu. He thought he wouldn't study anymore, so he was left alone. Li Mu arrived early in the morning, which really scared him. After asking about his purpose, he quickly came to the study.
Ouyang Xun asked his son to bring a big box, opened it with the key he carried with him, and took out the copybook inside.
"Mr. Marquis, this is my proud work in my life, all of which are here. Even though the Marquis read it, if you don't understand anything, I will explain it to the Marquis again."
"Don't worry, I'll take a look first." Li Mu didn't have the intention to practice hard at all. He was just here to try his luck. It would be better if he could succeed in COPY. If he couldn't, he would keep it the same for the time being.
Li Mu picked up the copybook and prayed in his heart that he must succeed. Because if Ouyang Xun fails here, Wang Xizhi will not succeed. Even if he collects ten original works, he will not be able to imitate Wang Xizhi's handwriting.
The thing that didn't work didn't happen. After Li Mu looked through ten different copybooks of Ouyang Xun, the system prompted that the ten elements were collected. Li Mu was overjoyed and asked for paper and pen, and wrote four big characters in a straightforward manner - Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Li Mu took out a copper coin and compared it. There was a slight difference, but overall, at least 90% of the same.
"Old bachelor, what's the difference between the 'Kaiyuan Tongbao' I wrote and the 'Kaiyuan Tongbao' you wrote?"
