There was no need for Li Shimin to remind him that since he came to the palace, Chen Jingke would definitely go to see his eldest grandson Wugou. He would have to work hard to please him, and he would also go to accompany his young wife.
Good news has been coming one after another in the past few days, and he was in a very happy mood. He hummed unconsciously: 'We people, we are so happy today... happy... happy...'
The palace people passing by all looked at him curiously, wondering why this little real man was so crazy. The key was that his accent was so strange. What dialect was he from? Why had he never heard of it before?
Chen Jingke, on the other hand, didn't care and walked towards the Li Zheng Palace with light steps.
Li Shimin had already expected that he would agree to this plan. With the character of Emperor Zhenguan, as long as he was shown a map of the world, he would not be unmoved.
What remains is a question of how to act.
As long as the suggestions put forward by Chen Jingke seem reliable and feasible, he will not directly deny them.
It is normal to have hesitation. After all, this has never happened before, and it is related to the country's security and future direction.
Such a major plan needs to go through a long period of discussion, and it is not surprising that it takes several years to make a decision.
The method used by Chen Jingke was very simple: talk, keep talking, talk over and over again, until Li Shimin had calluses in his ears.
People are like this. When you listen to a certain voice too much, your way of thinking will inevitably be affected.
Li Shimin is no exception. The more you listen to it, the more you can't help but think about it.
As long as he really considers the feasibility of these plans, Chen Jingke will succeed.
This is also the reason why so many people fawn over the emperor's ministers. If they can get in touch with the emperor and convey their voices to the emperor's ears, talking day after day will always work.
Sure enough, after more than half a year of unremitting efforts, progress was finally made.
No matter whether the final experimental plan can be passed or not, at least Li Shimin is really tempted. Even if it cannot be implemented this time, there will always be gains if he continues to instill it in the future.
Humming a song, we came all the way to the Li Zheng Hall. The eldest grandson, Wugao, was teaching the little Si Zi to write in the garden pavilion. The little girl had a wrinkled face and looked very reluctant.
When she saw Chen Jingke coming over, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had seen the savior, she dropped her pen and ran towards him.
"Brother, brother, I miss you so much."
(Brother was an informal title in the Tang Dynasty and was only used privately between relatives. It can be used to address both father and elder brother. It is an affectionate term for father and elder brother.)
Chen Jingke bent down and reached out, picked her up and held her in his arms, saying, "Really, I miss Sizi too."
As he spoke, he touched his forehead to hers.
"Giggle..." Xiao Sizi happily stretched out her little hands to hug his neck and pressed his forehead hard.
"Ahem." Changsun Wugao coughed dryly and said angrily: "Can you two stop being so arrogant?"
"Haha..." As if he was going against his mother, little Sizi smiled even happier.
Chen Jingke carried her into the pavilion, stretched his head to look at the paper on the stone table, and said in surprise: "This is written by Xiao Sizi? It's so beautiful."
It would be a lie to say how beautiful she is. Overall, I can only say that the strokes are clear and you can recognize every word, but considering her age, it is indeed very good.
Changsun Wugou said proudly: "She does have a certain talent in calligraphy, that's why I have such strict requirements on her. In the future, you must help me supervise her to avoid wasting such a good talent."
The little girl immediately looked at him worriedly, fearing that he would rebel.
Chen Jingke gave her a reassuring look, not sure if she could understand it, and then said to Changsun Wugao:
"Talent is very important, and so are interests and hobbies. Being too strict will only make her bored with calligraphy, and then practicing calligraphy will be half the result with twice the effort."
"She is only four years old. It is more important to cultivate her interest in calligraphy than to practice calligraphy. I think that in the future, more guidance will be used to gradually achieve better results."
Changsun Wugou nodded first, then shook his head and said: "You said it lightly, what does a child know and how to guide it? How about you teach her?"
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "I'll teach you what I want, but I can't do it now. I'll teach her after I have perfected her calligraphy in two years. She will be six years old by then, and she can just start practicing calligraphy."
Changsun Wugou laughed and said, "Just you? Are you sure you can teach her in two years?"
Little Sizi understood this time and shouted: "Learn, I want to learn from my brother."
Changsun Wugou glared at her and said angrily: "Are you learning to write? You just want to play."
"Humph." The little girl pouted and gave her the back of her head.
Chen Jingke knew that he couldn't do it without showing off his skills. He had to get the qualification to teach his little daughter-in-law how to write. Since he wanted to develop a lolita, he should start all aspects of it.
He immediately put down the little Sizi, picked up the pen, took a deep breath and concentrated, and swish, swish, swish, just a few words:
I have a beautiful girl in my family who is pretty and fair.
The small characters are Wan Su and the articulation is from Qing Dynasty.
The hair on the temples covers a wide forehead, and the ears are like jade.
The dressing table was made in the Ming Dynasty, and traces of black eyebrows were swept away.
The lips are thick with vermilion, and the yellow kiss is brilliant and red.
If the sweet words are even trivial, the anger will be clear.
If you hold a pen sharply and use a sharp tube, you will benefit from seal engraving.
Holding the book and cherishing the essence, reciting and practicing it are cherished.
This is the first half of "The Poem of a Beautiful Girl" written by Zuo Si in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It describes the childish and cute scene of his little daughter, which is very vivid.
Chen Jingke wrote it now, naturally to praise Xiao Sizi.
Changsun Wugou naturally knew this poem. What surprised her was the font used by Chen Jingke: "Whose font...is this character? Why have I never seen it before?"
Chen Jingke thought to himself that this is the regular script of Zhao Mengfu in the Yuan Dynasty. Of course you have never seen it.
Zhao Mengfu, a native of the Yuan Dynasty, is known as the four masters of regular script together with Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing, and Liu Gongquan. His handwriting is famous for its fluent, beautiful and soft handwriting, which is more suitable for women to practice.
It’s not that his handwriting is feminine or anything like that, but compared to the other three regular script masters, his handwriting is more suitable for women to practice.
When Chen Jingke was a child, his handwriting was not good, and he could even be said to be ugly. He was the type that teachers would not accept when he submitted his homework, so his family bought him copybooks to practice.
His parents didn't know much about calligraphy, so they just went to the bookstore and bought it randomly. The one they bought happened to be Zhao Mengfu's regular script calligraphy.
Later, when he bought it for himself, he bought Zhao Mengfu's regular script and running script copybooks out of habit. He has been practicing like this for more than ten years, and he is at least better than the average person regardless of how good he is.
It's just that he used a hard pen at that time, but after time travel, he used a brush.
After time travel, he began to practice calligraphy with calligraphy. He made rapid progress based on the foundation in his previous life, and now the characteristics of Zhao's regular script can be clearly seen in the lines of calligraphy.
Changsun Wugou himself was very good at calligraphy and painting, so he was naturally surprised to see the quality of this font.
Regarding her question, Chen Jingke had already thought of the answer and said: "It was created by the elders in the family and I have copied it since I was a child."
As expected, Changsun Wugou had no doubts, but said with emotion: "It is a pity that such a master of calligraphy cannot be seen... Do you have his copybook in your hand?"
Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "I only have my copy of the Tao Te Ching in my hand, not the original."
"That elder is no longer here, and his calligraphy works were not left behind. I only have these in my hands.
There are two electronic versions of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy works on his tablet, namely "Tao Te Ching" in small regular script and "Fu of the Goddess of Luo" in running script.
Some time ago, I was making slow progress in calligraphy, so I copied a copy of the Tao Te Ching. I covered it with white paper on a tablet screen, and it took a lot of effort to write it.
Needless to say, it really works. After successfully copying, I gained many new insights into calligraphy and made rapid progress.
Changsun Wugao was disappointed and said, "It's okay to just copy it. I'll ask Sun Fucai to go get it with you later."
Chen Jingke didn't expect that she would be so anxious. From this, it can be seen that the two of them have a true love for calligraphy.
However, he did not forget the real purpose of his calligraphy show, so he said: "What do you think about letting Xiao Sizi learn this set of calligraphy?"
The eldest grandson Wuguo nodded and said, "Okay, this set of calligraphy is your betrothal gift to Xiao Sizi."
Chen Jingke: "..."
Why did she say that? The reason is simple, the benefits are too great.
She can see the potential of this font, and there will be no problem in becoming a great calligrapher after practicing it.
Now the original work is gone, not even the calligraphy works are left. Chen Jingke and Xiao Sizi are the only successors.
When they succeed in their practice in the future, all honors will belong to both of them.
What? You mean original?
Who cares about a person who only exists in legends and has not even a word spread.
Everyone would just look at the two people's copybooks and praise their calligraphy for creating a new regular script font.
Moreover, they are a husband and wife, a true legend of the generation.
Relying on this handwriting, Li Mingda can also go down in history.
As a mother, the eldest grandson Wujia is very worried about her daughter.
Chen Jingke had no idea that his prospective mother-in-law would think so far. He just thought that a poor calligrapher could compare with Xiao Sizi?
Our little Sizi is priceless, okay?
As for Xiao Sizi, although she couldn't quite understand what the two of them said specifically, she could still understand that her mother had agreed to learn calligraphy from her brother, and she was jumping up and down with joy.
In her opinion, her brother would not force her to write.
The eldest grandson Wugou was so angry that he repeatedly expressed that he wanted to drive her out of the palace and no longer want this daughter.
Little Sizi felt confident and left as soon as possible. I went to Zixiao Temple to find my brother.
After joking for a while, Changsun Wugou began to talk about serious matters.
She picked up a thin book and handed it to Chen Jingke, saying: "Our business is finally done. Here is the account book. Take a look."
"Hey, can I still not believe you?" Chen Jingke said casually.
Changsun Wugou was very pleased with his attitude and said: "This is not a small amount, let's take a look."
Chen Jingke then took it over and said, "Okay, let me just take a look at how much money we have made. I have several plans recently that I need money for."
I opened the account book and just glanced at it for a few times before I felt dizzy. What is this? Is the account book still garbled?
Although he is not an accountant and has never studied this stuff, he has seen the most basic accounting books.
Comparing it with the accounting book in the previous life, this is just a bunch of gibberish. An accountant of this level doesn't even know how to use the money.
