"In the first year of Yonghe, I was in Guichou. At the beginning of late spring, I met at the Orchid Pavilion in Shanyin, Kuaiji..."
Because he was not sure what the Hou Mansion's next plans were, even though he was exhausted after several days in the examination room, Zhu Pingan did not rest directly. Instead, he spread pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk in the guest room and began to practice calligraphy with his wrist hanging.
Because if nothing unexpected happens, he should take part in the imperial examination soon. The Imperial Examination is the only exam that is not transcribed in the imperial examination. After it is written, it is submitted directly to the emperor for reading, and there is no need for an intermediary to copy it again. To some extent, calligraphy is often more important than articles in imperial examinations.
In addition to having people prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones, Li Shu also had many books, including this copy of "Lanting Preface". Although this Orchid Pavilion preface is a copy, its writing style is not aggressive or vigorous, it is free and easy to retract and open, the stipples are calm and the charm is restrained. From beginning to end, it reveals a leisurely, unrestrained and elegant demeanor, which is praised as high-end. Imitation.
Even though it is running script, it still provides a good reference for calligraphy.
Up to now, Zhu Pingan has written the preface to Lanting twice, and he is about to write the third time, leaving only the last three words.
Just as Zhu Ping'an was about to finish writing these three characters and take a short break, he suddenly heard a gust of wind in his ears. He saw a parabola in the air from the corner of his eye, and then saw a toad flying on the rice paper he was practicing calligraphy on. , the rice paper I wrote was stained with ink. After landing on the rice paper, under the inertia, the toad jumped up and overturned the ink that Zhu Pingan had researched.
Then, the toad lay on the corner of the table, looking at him with his big bulging eyes, looking innocent.
This thing was probably hibernating and someone dug it out.
When the toad landed on the paper, Zhu Pingan heard a burst of laughter from behind him as a naughty child succeeded in his prank.
Zhu Pingan turned around and saw a naughty boy about six or seven years old. He had a tiger-like head, thick and black eyebrows, a rather fat face, and was wearing a plush cotton-padded jacket. On her feet are a pair of black-soled short boots.
When the naughty kid saw Zhu Pingan turn around, his little fat face was filled with a sense of accomplishment, and he looked at Zhu Pingan with a look of gloating and laughter.
"this is yours?"
Zhu Ping'an caught the toad in his hand without fear at all and looked at the naughty child who ran into his room at some point. He asked in a warm voice with a smile, showing no anger at all.
"Isn't it mine or your country bumpkin's!"
The naughty boy looked at Zhu Pingan with a provocative look on his face, his chubby little hands were folded in front of his chest, and his words were disrespectful.
This naughty kid is talking like a bumpkin. He must have been instigated by some thoughtful people.
but. After hearing the naughty boy's provocative and rude words, the smile on Zhu Ping'an's honest face did not diminish by half, but became more loving, as if he could not hear the provocation in the naughty boy's words.
"Oh, that's yours. Well, little friend, where is your family?"
Zhu Ping'an's honest and honest face was filled with a gentle smile, his voice was gentle and he asked with a loving look on his face.
It's really useless, just like those maids and boys at home. So soft, look down upon!
Looking at the gentle smile on Zhu Pingan's face, the naughty child raised his head forty-five degrees with disdain and let out a disdainful snort.
"Young Master came out to play alone, you bumpkin!"
Therefore, after listening to Zhu Pingan's inquiry, the naughty boy challenged Zhu Pingan with a bearish face, pulling and stinking.
Oh, alone.
Zhu Pingan felt relieved when he heard what the naughty kid said, and then walked over with a gentle smile and picked up the little fat man and put him on his lap. One, two, three, four, spank the naughty boy a few times on the butt.
Listening to the howling of the naughty child, Zhu Pingan felt so comfortable.
This naughty boy dares to pull like this on his own!
Don't care for small animals. You should be beaten; you should be beaten if you know your mistakes and do not correct them; you should be beaten if you are disrespectful to others; you should be beaten if you are not respectful even though you are your elder in name only...
"You dare to hit me, bumpkin. Just wait, I'm going to call someone to deal with you."
The naughty child screamed, and his little fat face was extremely angry. I don’t know why this country bumpkin who just looked at me as limp as the maids and servants at home suddenly became bold enough to dare to hit him. But think about it. Ever since he was a child, even his grandmother would not hesitate to say harsh words to him, but to be spanked by this country bumpkin was simply a shame and humiliation, so he screamed for someone to come back to him.
Haha, I still don’t know how to repent.
"If you don't know how to care for small animals, should you beat them? If you don't correct them after you know your mistakes, should you beat them? If you are rude to others, should you beat them? If you don't respect your elders, should you beat them?"
Zhu Ping'an slapped him a few more times, neither lightly nor harshly, and asked while cleaning up the naughty child.
"You dare to hit me." The naughty child yelled and threatened.
"Just give it a try." Zhu Pingan replied with a naive smile, and then gave it a try.
"You dare to hit me? Just wait..."
Although the beating didn't hurt very much, the naughty boy felt that his world had been turned upside down. This bumpkin dared to hit him. This naughty boy who was used to running amok in the Hou Mansion couldn't accept it, so he screamed and wanted to be beaten. Zhu Pingan is good-looking.
This naughty boy is very stubborn.
Zhu Pingan shook his head with a smile, and was about to continue educating the little fat man when he heard a clear voice from a little lolita outside the door, as if he was greeting her aunt politely.
"Hello, aunt, you are here."
aunt? Could it be that an adult is here? Zhu Pingan stopped his hand and looked out. In his sight was a cute little lolita, about four years old. The little lolita had big eyes and black pupils and was smiling sweetly. Look at this, her smile is innocent and extremely cute.
The little loli is also very well-dressed, and she looks like the young master of the Hou Mansion.
However, Zhu Ping'an didn't see the little loli's aunt greeting her.
"Idiot Brother Rui, run quickly."
At this moment, I heard the little loli yell loudly, then she turned around and ran away, running out of the yard with her short legs, as if she was being chased by a dog.
It seemed like he had cooperated many times.
Almost at the same time, the naughty boy who was being rubbed against Zhu Pingan's legs also took the opportunity to run away, stomping to the door, and said provocatively to Zhu Pingan:
"You bumpkin, if you dare to hit me, I'll wait for you!"
Then, fearing that Zhu Ping'an would catch up, the naughty kid ran away like a mad dog, and Mao could no longer be seen as he ran away in the blink of an eye.
Well
It turns out that the little lolita just sang about the empty city strategy. She is so smart at such a young age. She is almost as smart as Li Shu when she was a child. Maybe it was this little loli who instigated the naughty kid to throw the toad just now. She let the naughty kid come forward and she hid outside to show off. That should be enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared so promptly. Haha, I guess the naughty kid is especially grateful to the little Loli.
Haha, this naughty kid was sold by the little loli, and he will definitely help her count the money.
Interesting, she will probably become a scheming girl when she grows up. (To be continued.)
