Li Mu looked at Li Longji with eager eyes, and Li Longji made another strange move. He directly pressed his hands on the calligraphy on the case, for fear that Li Mu would forcefully grab it.
At this moment, Li Longji was as innocent as a child and extremely cute.
Li Longji said: "Don't even think about it. No matter how much you like it, you can't do it. I spent a lot of effort to get it back. The most you can do is take a look at it. You are not allowed to have any ideas about it?"
Li Mu grinned and said: "Father, your house is full of treasures of calligraphy and painting, but you still care about this one? Besides, there are famous products in the world that as long as my father likes them, is there anything that can't be returned?
"
Li Longji chuckled and said: "Others are fine. This one has a great background. No one can covet it. Twenty-one, do you know why?"
Just as Li Mugang was about to answer, two people announced their names at the door and wanted to see Li Longji.
The twenty-seventh prince Li Ao and the little princess Taihua came. They were both only about ten years old. As soon as they came in, Princess Taihua took Li Mu's hand, and Li Ao did the same, holding Li Mu's other hand.
One hand.
Li Mu and Li Yao have nothing to do with each other, they are just ordinary half-brothers.
But this Princess Taihua is Li Mu's biological sister and a sibling, so naturally she is very affectionate.
When Li Longji saw a pair of children, he frowned and asked, "Don't you have any place to play? Why are you here to join in the fun?"
Taihua said: "Father, I heard that Brother Mu is here. We haven't seen Brother Mu for a long time, so we came over to play together."
Although Li Longji found the children annoying, Princess Taihua was born to Concubine Wu Hui and looked very much like Concubine Wu Hui.
Li Longji couldn't help but sigh and said: "Twenty-one and I still have something to say. You two, stand three steps away and don't get close. You will damage my baby."
Li Mu almost laughed out loud. It was a bit strange that Li Longji attached so much importance to this painting.
Li Mu pulled the two of them to the other side and stood there. Taihua didn't want to let go. Li Mu pointed at Li Longji, and Taihua reluctantly let go of Li Mu.
Li Longji seemed to have forgotten what he had just said, and asked Li Mu another question: "Twenty-one, what do you think of this preface to the Lanting Collection? You are not allowed to make fun of it. I will give you the most pertinent evaluation based on your understanding.
"
Li Mu was happy when he heard it. Isn't this a free test? History has long given the highest praise to such a treasure.
Li Mu said: "This calligraphy can be said to be the best calligraphy in the world. I am ignorant and I don't know if what I said is right. Please make a decision."
The world's best calligrapher, the sage of calligraphy, Wang Xizhi, has never been seen before or since. He is so arrogant.
Li Longji unexpectedly clapped, and the two little guys, not sure if they understood, also clapped along.
Li Mu's old face was not red, and the clouds were calm and the wind was gentle.
Li Longji said: "This evaluation is brilliant, accurate, and worthy of the name. I am the best running script in the world. That's it."
Li Longji said, patted Li Mu's shoulder twice with a smile, walked to the desk, picked up a brush, and wrote six small characters in the blank space on the left side of the preface to the Lanting Collection: The best running script in the world.
Then he took out his seal and sealed the conclusion.
Li Mu was dumbfounded. Is this okay?
Could it be that these six words of heavenly commentary actually came from his own mouth and were then written by Li Longji himself, equivalent to the emperor's decree and passed down for thousands of years?
Li Mu didn't know if there was really Li Longji's inscription on the edge of the preface to the Lanting Collection that was circulated in later generations.
Darling, that's too fierce. Be careful when you lie in the future.
Li Mu wiped his hands from cold sweat. He was taking advantage of this, and there was no way to explain it.
What shocked Li Mu even more was that Li Longji's regular script was neat and strong, and his skill was not inferior to that of masters such as Wang Xizhi and Zhang Xu.
Li Longji loved poetry and articles, and his accomplishments in calligraphy and painting were unfathomable. As for singing, dancing, and singing, he had a unique vision and superb appreciation taste.
He was a senior literary and artistic young man through and through, and he was also a model for practicing the culture and art of the Tang Dynasty. These evaluations given to Li Longji are not excessive.
Li Mu said: "Father, although the preface to the Lanting Collection is good, I feel that my father's calligraphy skills are not inferior to those of calligraphers. These six words are enough to shock the world and be passed down through the ages."
Li Longji's face turned slightly red after being praised by Li Mu, and he asked doubtfully: "Twenty-one, have you really seen the secret? Is my inscription that good?"
Li Mu said: "The child spoke truthfully, without exaggerating or exaggerating. Perhaps my father's calligraphy is a hundred times better than what the child said."
"Hahaha, hahaha, twenty-one, I believe you." Li Longji has never been so happy. Usually, princes and ministers praised him for how well he was doing, but Li Longji turned a deaf ear to it. Those old guys were just trying to please and flatter him.
Twenty-one speaks directly, thoughtfully, and insightfully. Li Longji has seen it all these days, and he believes that what Li Mu says is the truth.
However, Li Longji did not give up. He took the pen and continued to ask: "Twenty-one, although your evaluation is good, it is too general. Can you be more specific? What are the advantages of these words?"
Li Mu approached the table, looked at it seriously for a while, and then said: "Father, let's start from the first word, the word Yong. I heard that Wang Xizhi has practiced it for decades. He has studied several variations.
, it can be called an introductory skill in calligraphy practice, and it can be regarded as a living textbook."
"Oh, you still know these things, it's quite new. You can continue talking." Li Longji was addicted to listening.
Li Mu had no way out and could only continue to show off: "To be more specific, the changes in the character Yong are defined as the eight methods of the character Yong, which are Side, Le, Crossbow, Quail, Ce, Plunder, Peck, and Zeng. Once you learn these eight methods,
You can write any word with ease."
Li Longji kept nodding his head and said: "Twenty-one, you can teach me. You even know the Eight Methods of Yongzi. It seems that I have ignored you. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can ask me at any time. You are not bound by any rules."
.”
Li Mu hurriedly thanked Li Longji for opening up a high-speed green channel for him. This honor was unique.
The father and son said they were in love with each other, and it was about calligraphy and painting. Li Longji also shared a lot of thoughts and experiences, and Li Longji became really emotional, and more than half a month passed in a flash.
Princess Taihua and Li Yao stood there with sore backs and backaches, hearing something specious. Finally, when there was a gap, Princess Taihua came over quickly, grabbed Li Mu, and asked: "Father, can we play with Brother Mu?"
?”
Li Longji said: "If you make trouble, go out first. I still have questions."
The two little guys were reluctant to leave and walked to the door. They didn't want to go out, so they leaned close to the door and looked at Li Mu. Taihua kept making faces at Li Mu.
Li Longji asked again: "Twenty-one, you did a good job on this mission. Master Li praised you and said a lot of good things about you. I am very pleased as a father."
Li Mu asked: "Father, this calligraphy is not from Prime Minister Li as a filial piety to you, right?"
Li Longji turned around in surprise and asked: "Twenty-one, how do you know this? Did Mr. Li tell you in advance?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "That's not true. He won't tell me this. I'm scared to death. I'm afraid he'll ask me for money. That would be embarrassing."
Li Longji said: "You guessed it right. Ge Nu, a stingy guy, suddenly became enlightened today and gave me this early in the morning. It was a surprise. What a big surprise."
Li Longji is as excited as a child who takes advantage of others.
Li Mu asked: "Why are you so generous, Mr. Li? This calligraphy should be worth a lot of money, right?"
Li Longji said: "It's more than just money. In my eyes, this Lanting Collection Preface is priceless. I knew it was in Ge Nu's hands a long time ago, but he just messed with me. Now it's finally in my hands. I'm so happy, so happy."
The emperor has hobbies and becomes paranoid, which may harm the country and the people. Even a wise emperor like Li Longji would be so rude if he liked the same thing, let alone those foolish emperors.
"Oh, that's it," Li Mu responded, feeling that he had done a really good job this time and he had made a lot of profits. However, the biggest beneficiary was Li Longji.
Ten thousand taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket compared to the preface of the Lanting Collection.
Seeing that Li Longji liked it so much, Li Mu wanted to say, Dad, your favorite preface to the Lanting Collection was bought for you with the blood of a child, cherish it.
Li Longji said with interest: "Twenty-one, I also heard that it was you who commanded a folk miracle doctor to save Li Jaw. Is it true?"
Li Mu asked: "Father, did Li Jiao really come back to life? When I left yesterday, Li Jiao hadn't woken up yet. I was just giving random instructions. It was the miracle doctor Hua Yida who was very capable."
Li Mu didn't want to take credit. This kind of thing spread, and he suddenly became a miracle doctor. It was really hard to explain, and it would be troublesome in the future.
He doesn't want to be like those time-travelers in the Internet articles, who are bullish and have super powers that defy the sky. Li Mu just wants to do his best to guide elites from all walks of life to rejuvenate the country through science and technology, benefit the people, and ensure peace and prosperity for the country.
Li Longji said: "Twenty-one, you don't have to be humble. If it weren't for your command, Genu would have given up the preface to the Lanting Collection? You have made great contributions, and I will remember it for you." This chapter has been completed!
