The universe is endless darkness and occasional light.
black and white.
Yin and Yang.
This is the law of the universe, society and life.
While waiting for Sister He's message, Li Shi returned to the living room, made a pot of tea, and watched the tea leaves sinking and floating in the pot. What he was thinking about was the "yin and yang" in calligraphy.
"The yin and yang in calligraphy lie in reality, size, length, fatness, thinness, hardness and softness, weight, discontinuity..."
"Stangibility is relative, change is eternal, and only change can bring 'vividness' and 'agility'."
After a long time, he raised his head and took a sip of tea.
The tea is warm. The tea he brewed today was Anxi Tieguanyin that Chen Qiuye bought for him. The leaves are dark green and glossy, and the buds are slightly purple. The tea soup is amber-like golden yellow, and the taste is sweet and delicious. It is mellow, and at the end, there is still a pleasant aroma lingering between the lips and teeth.
This kind of Tieguanyin is not expensive, costing only more than 30,000 yuan per pound, but it tastes surprisingly smooth to Li Shi, but at this moment his mind is not on drinking tea.
"In summary, it is the law of the unity of opposites in contradictions... I didn't expect that at the end of calligraphy, the political courses I learned in high school and the general outline of the university would play an important guiding role."
"Is this the same goal through different paths?"
Li Shi drank tea unconsciously. Although the tea worth tens of thousands of yuan per pound was very fragrant, it was really not as good as what he realized from calligraphy to philosophy.
While he was sighing with emotion, he felt a faint joy of "attaining the truth".
In front of this kind of joy, the fragrance of tea is not worth mentioning.
Gradually, Li Shi also forgot to ask He Yaru for the photo. He came to the study and first wrote the words "yin and yang" and "contradiction". Then he looked at these four words and pondered for a moment, and remembered something. article, I immediately put down my pen, picked up my tablet and started searching.
Once you find the article, start reading it immediately.
Soon, I was immersed in the content of this article and forgot about the existence of the outside world for a while.
When I returned to Phoenix Bay at 3:30 in the afternoon, the sun was still shining outside. I don’t know how long it took. Li Shi read the article twice, the first rough reading, the second time slowly and intensively, and the second time he read it slowly and intensively. After finishing, he looked up again and found that the sky outside was completely dark.
Call up the learning panel and "stare" at the column of "Studying". Soon, you can feel that the feeling of being promoted is stronger than before.
Li Shi couldn't help but smile happily.
"Although my understanding this time is hazy and too condescending, being in a high position will benefit me in the long run in my studies."
I stood up, stretched, and looked at the time. It was already after eight o'clock in the evening.
There was a sudden feeling of hunger in my stomach.
Before, I was immersed in philosophical knowledge and didn't think anything of it. Now I came back to my senses, and my belly seemed to realize the passage of time. In addition, I didn't eat lunch, and I hadn't eaten for eight or nine hours.
Li Shi first went to the storage room to find some snacks to pad his stomach, then found his phone on the tea table in the living room, unlocked it, and opened WeChat.
There are a lot of unread new messages. First reply to the ones in the "We Three" group, and then click on He Yaru's dialog box.
She sent a lot of photos of bare hands at five o'clock in the evening.
Both hands, in different parts.
I have to say that this lady's hands are pretty good-looking. Li Shi didn't take a closer look for the time being. He went out to look for food first, drove around the area, and then randomly found a restaurant on the roadside that wasn't closed, and went in to deal with it. Take a bite.
After eating, I came back and logged into WeChat with a tablet with a larger screen than my phone, looking at the photos of Sister He's hands one by one.
He looked at each one carefully, and at the same time imagined what a pair of jade hands like this would look like wearing a yellow and green bracelet.
"She also likes to write calligraphy."
After a while, this scene came to mind——
In the dusk of sunset, her dignified and beautiful wife was sitting in front of the window wearing a black cheongsam. She was copying "Beauty Bath" on white paper with her bare hands holding a pen and dipped in ink. The light and shadow were graceful, and her fingers were like peeled onions. Her skin is like cream, and it looks even whiter in the soft light. Especially on her wrists, which look like white lotus roots, she wears a pair of emerald bracelets. The chicken fat yellow and gold silk green are translucent and translucent, as if there is a layer of precious light reflecting from the bracelets. When she came out, her whole body was shrouded in light.
"When you open your sleeves, you can see your bare hands, and your bright wrists are like jade rings."
Li Shi felt it immediately.
He took a pencil and white paper and began to draw based on the scene in his mind.
First I drew an imaginary picture, then I drew several hand pictures, and finally I focused on designing the color matching of a pair of jade bracelets.
"Yellow and green, in this pair of bracelets, are also the two sides of yin and yang."
Li Shi smiled, he couldn't help but use his new insights.
The design lasted until 12:10 midnight, and when it was about to be completed, a message suddenly came from He Yaru: "Teacher Li, I'm sorry, something unexpected happened here, and I won't be able to go to your place in the near future."
Li Shi was startled for a moment, but he didn't think much about it. Life is unpredictable, and unexpected events are normal.
I don't doubt that the other party is making excuses for not wanting to buy the jade bracelet for me. There is no need. If you really don't want to buy it, even if you are embarrassed to tell me directly, you can tell it through Wu Yuan. There is no need to make excuses.
He typed casually and replied: "It's okay. I'll contact you when it's convenient for you."
This way, it also leaves room for the other party. If she really doesn't want to buy it, she can just stop mentioning it later.
After sending the message, Li Shi continued to spend more than ten minutes to perfect the final design. However, he did not immediately redeem it with wealth attribute points. Instead, he read the design draft again and imagined the pair of yellow people in his mind. After redeeming the top-grade green glass jadeite bracelet, I bound a few design drafts and put them away in the bookcase.
"The market value of this pair of bracelets after redemption will definitely not be lower than that of full green glass. Even if Sister He doesn't need them anymore, they can be given away for auction or released in the future."
In the next two days, apart from going to the studio for two meetings and assigning tasks related to calligraphy or scripts, Li Shi spent the rest of the time practicing calligraphy at home.
Prepare for sketching on the theme of "Falling Flowers", three poems, practiced over and over again.
Regular script, running script, cursive script, and even seal script, constantly trying various fonts, various compositions, and maximizing familiarity with these three poems. I just hope that when I am immersed in the "falling flower" situation in the future, I can write it in one fell swoop and write it with reason. Another unexpected "new idea" comes.
That evening, after he and his mother finished their video call, he was opening the 12306 app and planning to buy a high-speed rail ticket to Beijing when Wu Yuan sent a WeChat voice message.
"Teacher Li, let me tell you a secret."
Li Shi: "What?"
Wu Yuan: "Sister He...has become a widow." (End of chapter)
